Three stories at once, ladies and toads! No, that is NOT reflective of my opinion of men! If you have any interest in Harry Potter, particularly Dramione, check out my other story, The Moment We Remember! It's my first ever HP fic!

I didn't really consider how I'd go about getting Bella back. The tiny vampire had told me she'd figure something out, and like an obedient dog, I'd sat down on my haunches to wait for someone else to take the lead.
She'd never actually said what had happened either. Only that she saw Bella being carried away by a strange coven of blood suckers. But that was enough for me. And Edward had told me all about how they had kidnapped her from the place he'd been keeping her. I didn't really trust him, or anything he said. But no matter how anyone put it, Bella was gone and someone needed to get her back. Everyone else was all for making plans on their own.
It was different though. I had my own agenda, and I wasn't going to sit around. It wasn't as if I'd decided to do this on my own, this whole leaving to find her. It was Edward's plan. But he needed me for this, and I wasn't going to sit back and wait for the pixie, or anyone else, to tell me how to save the would-be love of my life.
In no time at all, I'd run home and thrown everything I would need into a back pack. Edward would have to carry it, unfortunately enough, because I would travel in wolf form so I could keep up with his vampire speed.
It wasn't the plan Alice or Sam would make. Both would favor waiting to see if anything happened, waiting to see if someone would show up with news, or asking the Volturi what had happened.
But that would be too long. Bella could be dead then. She could be dead now. My whole being flinched away from that idea though, and I gasped for breath as I thought that, fighting the urge to vomit or cry. There was no time for weakness. I had an Imprint to save.

Some blurry trees and a setting sun later, I fell asleep on Zane's shoulder. It wasn't the most comfortable way to sleep, but it sure beat falling asleep on Edward's back like I had once before when he carried me around like a pathetic little animal on its mothers back.
And when I slept, I dreamt. Granted, my dreams usually don't make sense. But this one really took the cake!
I was sitting on a bed, dressed in a beautiful white gown. The bed itself was a sort of golden orange color, and the walls were lined with cd's. It kind of looked like Edward's room, if you replaced the couch with a bed.
The dream wasn't alarming at first, even as I stood up and walked down the hall to the staircase. As I descended it, a little throng of women stood at the bottom, and Charlie. My mother was here as well, and as I stepped down the stairs, she hugged me tightly.
"I can't believe it's the big day!" She said, wiping away tears. Charlie smiled awkwardly and pulled me into a hug as well.
"My little girl is finally all grown up," He said softly, his voice gruff. Alice and Rose just smiled at me, and Esme kissed my cheek. Then the women disappeared, and Charlie and I were walking arm in arm towards the backyard.
I suddenly felt like I knew what was happening, like I wasn't ready. My heart began to race as we approached a beautiful, flower strewn aisle, and a crowd of all my friends and family. My heart skipped a beat, and I looked down at my left hand. A ring winked coyly back at me, and my heart beat tripled its pace.
Cold feet sure feels a lot like a heart attack, I thought to myself. And as we approached the groom, who was standing tall with his back to me, I thought I would pass out for sure if he didn't turn to face me.
Shouldn't I know who my husband will be?! I screamed in my mind, searching desperately for the answer. But no answer would come. Who was the man waiting for me? Why couldn't I think of who it would be?!
And at last, as if he heard my silently screamed pleas of desperation, he turned around. And then I fainted.
When my eyes opened again, I was awake, and I almost had a real heart attack. 12 pairs of eyes were trained on my face, 12 icy cold bodies pressed closely to the couch. I screamed a little, and they all fell back.
"Hello there…" I said awkwardly as soon as my heart had slowed down. I accompanied this with a little wave that felt rather stupid, but it's too late to take back now. I thought with a grim sigh.
It was kind of stupid. Don't worry though! We won't judge you! I looked up at Delilah, the one closest to my place on the couch, and I smiled weakly.
"Sleeping Beauty has awoken!" Loren called, and I had to chuckle at that. He sounded so excited that it was impossible to resist his happiness. "Time for introductions!" He clapped his hands together and everyone stood up quickly, falling into a long line in front of the couch.
"This is Samantha, and you already know her! Any guesses to her magical vampire powers?" Loren began as if he was a talk show host, and I couldn't help but imagine him with a long microphone, playing a game with people. Before I could even guess at her ability, he answered his own question. "She turns into a mermaid folks! That's why she murders little fish families and has blue eyes!" My own eyes widened with shock. It didn't seem possible, to have one magical creature turn into another! If that was possible, everything I knew had been twisted around again.
"Moving on, ladies and gentlemen! We don't have time to ohh and ahh!" Loren clapped his hands together again, moving down the line. "This is Amanda, she's all of 16 years old, and creates illusions!" Amanda waved awkwardly, as I had, and in her other hand, held up a little dancing monkey! Her eyes too, were blue, but they flickered, and I knew they were an illusion.
"This here is Alexandra, and she can assess power potential! Very useful, but she hates it!" Alexandra rolled her eyes, flicking a strand of sleek black hair out of her face. There were streaks of blood red through her hair, and it matched her eyes in a creepy way. "And to her right, we find our darling Gabriella, one of those rare, crazy powerful vampires who has control over the elements!" Her hair was short as Alice's, but a violent shade of purple that was stirred up the breeze that suddenly rustled through the room when she winked.
Delilah rolled her eyes, giggling softly. "You'll never remember all these!" She muttered to me, and I nodded, eyes wide as I stared at the line of vampires before me. Loren shushed her and continued with his narration.
"Here we have Roxanne and Avery!" He clapped his hands on the shoulders of a tall girl with wild, multicolored hair, and a boy who was as tall and blonde as Jasper. "She can temporarily steal anyone's power, and he can control the weather!"
Avery grinned at me, a heart stopping grin that I'm sure got him whatever he wanted from any human. Roxanne smirked, nudging him with her shoulder, and he feigned an injury, causing her to giggle madly like Delilah.
"God, you people are noisy when I'm speaking!" Loren snapped, but I could see from the glint in his eye that he didn't mean it. "Moving down, we have Anna, who possesses the lovely ability to freeze things, both with her powers and her awkwardness!" The girl cast him a scathing glare that couldn't take away from her classically Hollywood beauty. With a snap of her fingers, Loren yelped and put a hand to his crotch. "Watch what you freeze, woman!"
Everyone laughed at that, and Anna flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder in a move that reminded me of Rose. "Oh stop your whining!" She ordered, a teasing smile on her lips. "You know Delilah, and the Violets. Vi can shape shift into any animal or thing she's touched, and Violet can jump back in time for 24 hours." She took over the introductions with ease, gesturing to the people she spoke of.
"And last but not least, we have Austin and Tyler!" Loren cut in, gesturing to two tall boys at the end. They grinned at me with a devilish look in their eyes, and I grinned shyly back. It seemed as if they were moments away from causing some kind of chaos. "Austin is telekinetic, and Tyler can see a few hours into the future!"
I looked along the line, trying desperately to assign the names to the faces, and the abilities.
This is hopeless! I felt like shouting, but I think they already could tell how lost I was.
We'll understand if you confuse us! But don't call Austin and Tyler by the wrong name. You are liable to find spiders in your bed if you do. Delilah said, eyes sparkling as she glanced at the two boys.
"Names, noted. Potentially remembered." They all laughed, and my eyes widened. People didn't usually think my jokes were funny. Emmett always told me to leave the fun and games to him, and I had no problem relinquishing all attempts to be a comedian to him.
"So, you've met us all. What do we do now?" Samantha asked me, rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet.
"I've no idea!" I cried, suddenly panicking as they all turned to me, waiting for my choice. "I don't decide things!"
"Luckily, I do have an idea." It was Zane, appearing from God knows where in the room. "Why don't we take her on a tour of the house, and then we can all go watch a movie?" I smiled gratefully at him. How was I supposed to know what to do with so many vampires, all of them so close to my age?
With that, Delilah and Vi both grabbed one of my hands and yanked me towards the stair case.
Why do I feel like this is going to be way more interesting than a normal house tour?
This chapter was mostly just so you can meet the chapters Bella is about to spend a lot of time with! These characters are not MINE, they belong to fans of Breaking Promises! But I do control their fates and their personalities!
