Chapter 2

I love you, forever

BPOV:

Edward's lips against mine was pure heaven, for some odd reason he didn't feel cold to me, at all.

I lost my train of thought as his tongue ran over my lip and I moaned into his mouth digging my hands into his locks. His arm was wrapped around my waist and his hand was threaded into my hair as our kiss became more and more heated as the seconds past.

Before too long Edward pulled back to let me breath even though I didn't need to but he didn't know that yet.

We rested our foreheads together as we tried to calm our breathing but I couldn't help the smile that was on my lips. I opened my eyes to see Edward watching me and I smiled and blushed slightly. He brought his hand up and gently stroked my face and I sighed in contentment and turned my head to kiss his hand.

He turned me slightly in his arms so that my back was against his chest and he wrapped his arms around me but I kept my head back against his shoulder so I could look at him.

"Bella?" he asked and I looked into his bright topaz eyes.

"Yes Edward?" I asked and he smiled; I wasn't too sure about why he was smiling but I couldn't care why, he looked beautiful when he smiled.

"I just wanted to ask, what made you run earlier...I was hoping it was anything that I did..." at this I cut him of by placing my finger over his lips and he kissed it and I smiled before burying my head in the crook of his neck and I sighed.

"Edward I assure you it was nothing that you did...it's...I...it's complicated to explain. When I pulled away after you kissed my hand earlier...it set it off" I told him and he pulled back to look at me but I felt his hand weave into the ends of my hair and play with it.

"Set what off love?" he asked gently and I couldn't help but smile at what he just called me and he smiled too realising what he'd just done and he dipped his head slightly and I think he would be blushing if he could. I placed my hand under his chin and pulled his face towards me and gave his a chaste kiss on the lips and he smiled.

"It set off the motion of the imprint I guess...whilst I was still standing in front of you...the impact of it is a little tricky to describe...." I said thinking of a way to tell him, he ran his finger over my eyebrows a pecked my nose.

"It's okay, explain it to me as best as you can" he said and I smiled.

"Well...it's kind of like....gravity is the thing that hold you down until you see your imprint, then it's like they hold you down- like thousands of tiny titanium steel cables are tying you to this one person and everything after that is irrevocably and unconditional" I said looking at him and he grinned and pecked my lips.

"I guess it is similar in a way to a vampires 'imprint'" he said and I giggled which made him grin. "When we see that person- it's instant, nothing can compare to that person, it's instant love at first sight and it feels like...a powerful energy shock goes from your head to you toes in seconds before you just fall helpless- you do anything be anything for them" he said looking at me and I smiled dreamily.

"That last bit you mentioned is very familiar- it's what all the others have said when they imprint but I guess everyone's imprint is different...especially ours" I said and he chuckled and nodded.

"There isn't anything normal about our pairing" he said chuckling and I giggled.

"But...my cousins have all said the same thing...when you imprint it's also instant with the person you imprint on they return everything you feel for them...we have no idea why but the others said they can't deny that they don't love it" I said smiling and Edward laughed.

"Well I guess ours is a little different then...it's not usually common for both people to imprint at the same time in our kind....what about you?" he asked and I shook my head.

"No it's never happened as far as I'm aware of" I said as I ran through my memories and I shook my head "but anyway...it's like you become what ever your imprint wants you to be...it could be a best friend, protector, baby sitter, lover anything" I said and Edward's brow furrowed.

"What do you mean by baby sitter?" he asked and I smiled.

"Ah yes, that was a new one never before has this ever happened...you know Quill he imprinted a few months back however his imprint...a little girl name Claire she's about 3 almost 4" I said smiling and he raised his eyebrow.

"So Quill will stay and wait for her?" he asked and I nodded.

"Like I said you do anything to make your imprint happy" I said smiling and he smiled to and brought his lips to mine again.

"Do you mind if we play 20 questions?" he asked me suddenly "that is if you don't have to go back just yet?" he asked and I smiled sadly.

"No I don't mind, I don't really know when I can go back home" I said dipping my head and Edward pulled my face towards him.

"What do you mean Bella, what happened?" he asked tightening his grip and I sighed.

"Well I had to tell the others about the imprint before I was allowed to come and see you...Aunt Em and Uncle Sam got over it pretty quick- I think they were just glad that I've finally found someone wither you're a vampire or not. Seth and Leah were understanding and they were happy too...I didn't get to find out about the others so much, Paul, Jared and Quill were on the stage of phasing- Sam told me to get Emily up to the room and then to come and see you to tell you plus it's quite painful to be away from you...he said that he'd call for me when it was safe to come home" I said and Edward hugged me to him and I sighed.

"I'm not hurting you am I?" he asked and I shook my head.

"You can hold me as tight as you want- I'm just as indestructible as you" I mumbled against his chest and he tightened again making me feel so safe and protected. He kissed the top of my head before speaking.

"You are more than welcome to stay with us until you can go home" he said and I nodded and kissed his chest. He released me slowly and I looked up and he smiled and stroked my jaw.

"20 questions?" he asked and I laughed and nodded.

"Alright, I'll go first- how old are you...seeing as you were around when I was here?" I said and he smiled.

"17" he said and I rolled my eyes and raised my eyebrow and he laughed.

"Alright, alright- I was born in Chicago 1901 and changed in 1918" he said and I felt my eyes widen and my Jaw drop.

"What?" he asked and I shook my head trying to clear my head.

"You're...you're the same age as me?" I asked more as a question and his eyes widened.

"Okay this just get's more interesting" he said and I laughed.

"Yeah I guess so- well what can you say when a genie falls in love with a vampire- not exactly your everyday relationship" I said giggling and his eyes widened.

"What? What is it?" I asked as I stroked his jaw and he grinned.

"You...you just said you love me..." he said as I looked into his eyes and I could see the adoration and excitement in his eyes as I blushed.

"Yeah...I guess I did..." I said ducking my head- embarrassed. Edward's fingers were under my chin pulling my face up to meet his gaze.

"My sweet Bella you do not realise how happy that makes me to hear those words because now I know that it's not just me who feels as strong" he said smiling and I smiled shyly.

"You don't think it's too soon?" I asked and he shook his head before pulling my lips to his gently.

"No love, there is no time limit – like you said before love is irrevocable and unconditional" he said against my lips and I brought his back to mine portraying all the love I felt for him right there.

When I pulled back we were both slightly breathless as we stared into each others eyes.

"Alright my turn- where were you born and how did you end up with the pack?" he asked and I sighed and smiled.

"Shall I just tell you my story it would be much easier- but only if you tell me your in return?" I asked and he sighed.

"There will be things that would make you go running for the hills Bella- my early years were not as peaceful as they are now and I'm scared that if I tell you you'll want nothing more to do with me" he said and I shook my head and climbed back into his lap.

"Edward nothing and I mean nothing will ever make me leave you- I'm not squeaky clean myself but I promise you – everyone has their faults, nobody's perfect and I'd love you no matter what" I said staring him straight in the eyes and he smiled and nodded.

I pecked his lips before starting my story...

"My name is Isabella Marie Apollo I was born in Vancouver September 18th 1901 my parents were Rebecca Louise Apollo and John Charles Apollo. Our family was wealthy, I will say that but I resented my parents. I never even understood why they bothered having me they hired nannies to take care of me instead of my mother but the worst bit was to the outside world we looked like a happy family...inside however it was a mess.

Rebecca was not my birth mother- my father slept away one night after drinking too much my mother found out when a woman came to the doorstep with me in her arms. Her family wouldn't let her keep me so they made my father take me. Everyone assumed that I was Rebecca's because for many months no one had seen her on the streets because of how my father used to hurt my mother, sometimes it was so bad she couldn't go out so that's what my parents let them believe" I said shaking my head and Edward kissed my cheek and pulled me close to his chest.

"When I turned 13 up until then things had been great, ever so often my father would bring me with him when he came down to La push- that's how I knew the Quileutes. Eventually my father started getting worse with the beatings because my mother refused to have a child with him after all- he cheated on her and got lumped with me which was after all a translated version of what she said to him. My mother then began lashing out at me but never on my face so my father wouldn't know and neither would the others- she blamed me and I took it because it was the only thing I knew" I said and I felt Edward's grip tighten he stroked my jaw and I relaxed against him and smiled slightly.

"Then when I was 16 my father began trying to find a husband for me no matter how many times I told him otherwise...eventually my dad found the 'perfect husband' for me, the man was loaded but he was a self centred egotistical jerk. My father would make me go over to his everyday in the carriage or Leonardo would send his to pick me up. It wasn't till near my 17th that I found out what he was, he was a very powerful wizard but he wasn't like the normal ones oh no, he had purely dark magic and I learnt the hard way on the eve of my 17th. He called for me to come around said it was 'urgent' so like the naive girl I was, I went".

"When I got there he took me out to the garden where he proposed to me and I told him that I wasn't ready- truth be told I didn't want to marry him and I'd have rather taken a thousand beatings first than marry him. He however was not happy and told me I was an ungrateful whore" I said and Edward's grip tightened again and I raised my hand to stroke his head and he smiled and pulled me to lay down next to him in the meadow where he pulled me flush against him before kissing my head and my cheeks.

"Anyway that was when he revealed his true self to me, he sent all his servants home before dragging me into the house- he didn't care wither he hurt me or not. It was then he said that if 'he couldn't have me then nobody else would' so he turned me into a genie. He expected me not to know what to do with my new body- it only took a matter of minutes to change me but it was such an intense pain that I'd never forget it...he tried to find a lamp or a bottle to seal me into but whilst he did I made a run for it into the forest. It didn't take me long to suss how to hide my trail from him".

"Over the next 7 years I noticed that I didn't change I stayed in my 17 year old form and I travelled in search for other genies. I eventually found one with her master Alicia. She helped me so much and her master; he allowed her to take me to our counsellor and told him my story for me as I was scared. He welcomed me with open arms and assigned Alicia to be my teacher along with her master so I could learn for when I was given a master myself.

I stayed with them for a few years learning but I could never settle properly. I'd also been in formed that Leonardo had been killed. People assumed he'd murdered me after I'd disappeared on the eve of my birthday. When I finished with Alicia and her master they wished me good luck and I went back to my parents place. They did not grieve over my 'death' but I didn't expect them to either. I left them and headed down south to La push where I knew my father's friend would be I knew about the pack however my father did not. They were surprised to see me after all they heard I was dead but glad I was alive none the less. Levi's father and mother took me in as their own and I watched as everyone grew up around me. I wasn't allowed to go out much in case anyone saw me but that was to be understood. Then one night I was told that I was allowed to come to a meeting and when I got there I got a fairly big shock" I said and Edward looked at me smiling whilst stroking my head; it was very soothing.

"What love?" he asked and I smiled.

"There at the meeting was my biological mother Nicole May Black, I couldn't believe she recognised me considering I was a baby when she gave me away but she did. She'd married into the Black family and was very happy. She was the one woman I was happy to call my mother because she truly was, when the others found out they were very happy- over the moon strangely enough. They said my mother and I had been separated long enough so I was moved into the black household, I adored my mother and I had a little half brother and sister too- the twins.

My step dad used to go out to work and he had the wolves on top of that so my mother and I would knit things for the twins and we would bake and...I just loved her so much. My step dad and siblings were lovely and when I finally could go out and about with everyone else they called us the 'perfect American family' which was amusing. Eventually my mother passed on and it was my step dad and the twins and I left. The twins were only 10 when she passed away and they were 2 when I joined the family. So I took care of them, my step dad was killed in an attack 4 years later so it was left to me to look after the twins. Colin went to work at a young age and he began to provide for my sister and I. They knew what I was, it was never hidden from them it was only that no one outside the Quileute wolf pack family could know about me. I'd helped Colin as much as I could and we were very comfy eventually.

They then grew up and started their own families but they never forgot me once. I moved in when Ephraim became chief but my siblings always invited me down for birthdays or anything special it was nice but sad because everyone around me had found someone over the years. Eventually I just gave up thinking that obviously I was not meant to find anyone and that was how I was going to remain, I'd given up all hope until I met you that is" I said looking into Edward's eyes and he smiled and wiped the few tears that had leaked out away from my face before bringing his lips to mine.

After I'd told Edward my story he told me his and I did cry at a few points knowing how hard it must've been for him when he was a newborn seeing as I'd killed a few in my earlier years with the wolves.

Edward then told me about the others, how the rest of his family came to be and how the only others of his kind that they'd found were a clan up in Denali.

Eventually we'd been talking so much we hadn't noticed that the sun had set and the moon was high in the sky.

We'd just layed there for hours after the stories asking questions ever so often, kissing occasionally or mostly just cuddling and being together.

I'd learnt that Edward played the piano and the guitar, his favourite colour was blue, he loved classical music which some of his favourites were also mine too but he also like the occasional rock band which made me shower him with kisses after that and he laughed. He also told me about being able to read peoples minds but not being able to read mine, I told him that it could be to do with the fact that I'm a genie and it could just be that.

Edward also mentioned that I didn't feel as hot as a wolf does or a human does to him for that matter and I smiled.

"Edward, I won't do- I'm a wolf out of choice therefore I have control over it and my emotions don't effect it, also I'm not human so I would be a different temperature...I'm only a few shades lighter than you are but I've been told I can pass for a vampire especially with my genie eyes" I said laughing and he smiled but he looked confused.

"Genie eyes?" he asked and I nodded and smiled.

"Yes, the brown that's my eyes now is from when I was human but these are my genie eyes" I said and I closed my eyes quickly and opened them again and Edward gasped and I smiled shyly.

My genie eyes were gold like Edward's but they had silver and bronze flecks and rims around the edge of the white.

"Wow, they're beautiful Bella- and yes I can see why you'd easily pass" he said chuckling before kissing my lips. I let my eyes change back to the brown and Edward grinned.

"As much as I like your genie eyes I prefer these, I love watching them sparkle when you're happy" he said and I grinned and kissed him.

"I have every reason to be happy with you here" I sighed contentedly and Edward smiled and rolled so he was hovered above me before crashing our lips together.

This kiss wasn't heated and full of lust, just love and happiness. I wasn't sure how much time had passed since we'd been out here but we did notice when the sun suddenly came out from the clouds.

I gasped as I looked at Edward and he closed his eyes with a pained face.

"Edward? Edward are you alright?" I asked panicked and he gently opened his eyes.

"I'm fine...I'm surprised you haven't run away from me now that you see my skin" he said smiling sadly and I shook my head.

"Edward you are beautiful and I love you, I am not going anywhere and besides you are not the only one who hates showing themselves in the sun" I said and he frowned.

"What do you mean?" he asked and I smiled.

"Wait and see" I said and a few seconds later the sun cascaded down on me; Edward gasped as the blue shadow appeared around my body and I too began to glitter slightly, not as brightly as Edward but I still glittered.

"You look beautiful" he whispered stroking my cheek before running his gaze up and down my body and I bit my lip and he leaned forward and kissed me.

"Now you know you are not the only one and you are beautiful" I said running my hands through his hair and I rested my head against his chest. Before long I felt his chest began to rumble and then Edward started....purring?

It was wonderful to hear Edward purr, I loved it and I continued to stroke his hair and I rubbed my head against his chest and he purred louder and I just grinned.

Sadly he stopped purring after a while and I pouted and he opened his eyes to look at me.

"Why are you pouting love?" he asked and I looked up at him through my eyelashes.

"You stopped purring" I whined and Edward's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"What do you mean exactly?" he asked and I sat up slightly confused.

"You know purring- like a cat when they're content- I loved it why'd you stop?" I asked and he shook his head his lip twitching slightly.

"I didn't even know I was/could purr, Bella- it's a first for me but all I knew was I loved feeling your hands stroke my head and having your head against my chest" he said and I smiled and kissed him and there was that beautiful crooked grin of his that I loved.

"You know we should be getting back to the others- I didn't realise we've spent about 27hours out here if not more" he said chuckling and my eyes widened.

"Oh, I'm so sorry" I said and he smiled and sat up pulling me into his lap and kissed my head.

"Don't be- come back to the house with me, I want to spend some more time with you" he said and one look into his eyes and I was a goner. How could I say no to the man I love?

"Sure, if you don't mind" I said and he chuckled and kissed me before lifting me up in his arms and he slung me onto his back and I squealed and he laughed.

"You know I can run as fast as a vampire, you don't have to carry me" I said smiling slightly as I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, he turned his head to the side to kiss my arm.

"I know but I want to" he said before taking off running. Who was I to deny him something that he wanted and I had to admit I did like him carrying me even though he didn't have to.

We were back at the house in no time and Edward slowed down to a human pace and opened the door. After we walked in I expected him to let me down but instead he wraps his arm backwards around me to keep me there and I leaned forward and he turned his head to kiss me. When I pulled back he was smiling and my head was a little foggy.

He walked us into the living room where everyone looked up when we came in, they were defiantly surprised to see Edward carrying me and I ducked my head down already feeling the blush pool in my cheeks. I felt the vibrations run through him as he laughed and I just smiled and kept myself hidden.

"Oh good you're back, did you have a nice chat?" Carlisle asked and I nodded my head against Edward's shoulder and he chuckled and nodded.

He reached around and pulled me from his back around to his front before setting me down and he kissed my head and turned me back to face the others and he pulled me against his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Alright, what did you do to my brother- you've got him grinning like a Cheshire cat" Emmett said and I blushed and bit my lip.

"Nothing really" I said and Emmett raised his eyebrow and Jasper turned to Edward obviously talking to him through his thoughts.

"So?" Jasper said out loud and the others turned to look at him as Edward pulled me to the loveseat and sat me in his lap.

"What do you think Jazz?" Edward said and Jasper grinned.

"Hallelujah!" he said and Edward laughed whilst the family looked back and forth.

"Alright what's going on? You two were hiding something before and you're hiding something now, spill!" Alice said and I smiled and bit my lips and looked at Edward and he chuckled and shrugged and I rolled my eyes.

I knew he didn't know how to tell them and I was nervous to tell them after what happened with the others.

"Oh for god sake!" Alice huffed and I smiled slightly.

"Ugh- fine I'll tell them if you two aren't- Edward's finally found his mate" Jasper said and the others gasped and turned to us and I kept my head dipped afraid.

"YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!" Alice and Rose screamed and I looked up and they pulled me off Edward hugging me and I smiled.

"We have a new sister!!!!!!" they both gushed and I rolled my eyes before laughing and hugging them back.

"Alright Eddie!" Emmett cheered and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh honey!" Esme said as she hugged Edward and I smiled, she really was the mother of this family.

"Congratulations son, were so happy for you" Carlisle said and Esme turned to me and hugged me which I gladly returned.

"Oh I have another daughter- my family is finally complete" she said holding my face in her hands and I couldn't help the tear that slipped from my eye. I was so happy that they accepted us.

Carlisle hugged me as well before saying "Welcome to the family...you've been long over due" he said chuckling and I smiled and giggled.

Edward pulled me back to him and wiped my tears but we were both smiling still and everyone sat down.

"Bella, why are you crying?" Jasper asked and the others looked at me worried and Edward stroked my head and kissed my cheek.

"I'm just...happy that you all except this even considering what I am" I said and they smiled.

"Sweetie, you're making Edward happy- I haven't seen him smile like this in almost a century and why wouldn't we be happy that you make our son happy?" Esme asked and I smiled sadly.

"I just wish my family saw it that way" I said and Alice came and sat next to us as Edward pulled me back into his lap and tucked me into him and Alice held my hand.

"What do you mean Bella?" Alice asked and I smiled sadly.

"Before I came here I had to tell the others once they'd had there lunch which my aunt and I made- we always do. Uncle Sam and Aunt Em accepted it straight away and they were happy I'd finally found someone after all these years. Leah and Seth were confused but they were happy and wished me luck but the others...they weren't so keen on the idea, they were on the edge of phasing as I left, but I had to get aunt Em upstairs before I left- uncle Sam told me to come and see Edward and to tell him and you as well but...he said that he would call for me when it was safe to come back..." I said sadly and Edward just wiped my tears away and tightened his grip and Alice looked at me sadly and squeezed my hand.

"Well Bella, you are family now and you are more than welcome to stay with us if you want" Carlisle said and I looked at him sadly but smiled.

"You won't mind?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Not at all dear" he said and I smiled and said 'thank you'.

"Well at least the house isn't going to stink of wet dog" Emmett said and Rose wacked the back of his head and Esme scolded him.

"What do you mean?" I asked and the others sighed and shook their heads.

"He means that considering you are a wolf you don't smell like the others you actually smell like..." Jasper said before being cut off by Alice.

"Freesias and strawberries" Alice said and I smiled and shook my head.

For the next few hours we all chatted downstairs and I learnt about everybody and they learnt about me. It was entertaining to watch Emmett and Jasper on their Xbox and Wii those two were so competitive.

Soon it was evening time and I was a little hungry but I didn't want to say anything I'd had more or less 3 days without eating or drinking and it really wasn't healthy for me. I may not be human but I still need to eat.

Alice suddenly froze and I saw she'd gone into a vision- they told me about Alice and Jasper's gifts a few hours ago it was interesting to hear why no one would play games with them apart from each other because they cheated.

Alice came out of the vision and she was smiling and Edward chuckled and kissed my cheek and I looked to him confused.

"Huh, it's looks life we won't have to buy the food for pretence anymore" Alice said and they looked at her.

"What do you mean Alice?" Rose asked and Alice smiled.

"Oh Bella still eats, so now we won't have to worry about throwing all the food away" she said and the others smiled.

"Oh honey why didn't you tell us, I would've made you something hours ago" Esme said and I smiled.

"It's okay, I usually last about 3-4 days before I eat but this time....not so much" I said and the others chuckled.

"Well why don't we go into the kitchen and we can get you something to eat?" Edward said and I smiled.

"You cook?" I asked and he groaned.

"Sadly yes, the little pixie made me take home Ec. A few years back" he said shaking his head and Alice and Rose laughed.

"Oh you should've seen it there a class that went by where Edward ended up with food in his hair" they said laughing and I giggled too and Edward scowled and I kissed his cheek.

"It's okay, I'm pretty good when it comes to cooking you try making enough for about 35 people each day" I said and they all dropped their jaws and I laughed.

"How can they eat that much?" Emmett asked and I shrugged.

"They use a lot of their energy through phasing so they have to eat a lot me on the other hand not so much thank god" I said and they laughed.

Edward and I made our way to the kitchen where I fancied pizza so before Edward could blink, out came the ingredients from the cupboards and the fridge and I giggled at Edward's reaction.

"How did anyone get used to that?" he asked and I laughed.

"No one did, it was pretty much the same reaction you gave me and it's highly amusing" I said and he smirked before getting up to help me.

He chopped up the veg. He made the tomato sauce and cut the chicken pieces for me- it was part cooked so it was easier- whilst I made the dough and the other sauce.

I rolled out the dough just to how I like it, I placed the tomato sauce on with plenty of cheese before adding the chicken pieces and the chopped up veg. And pored my barbeque sauce on and more cheese.

Edward smiled and put it in the over for me and we went back into the living room and waited for my pizza to cook.

The timer went of 20 minutes later and Edward went to get it but I stopped him and he looked confused before in came my pizza floating in a sat on the table with a glass of lemonade. Edward and I laughed whilst the others stared in shock, I dug into my pizza and I had to say it was delicious. I'd made this same pizza hundreds of times but it never tasted this good, I wondered if It had to do with Edward?

Soon my pizza was finished and I floated my glass and plate into the kitchen and let them wash themselves and put away.

Edward smiled and kissed my head and welcomed me back to his chest, where I snuggled down and we all watched the movie.

It was early hours morning when a knock came on the door and I felt Edward tense.

"Edward what is it?" I asked and he looked at me worriedly before I heard Paul's voice and I bit my lip hard to stop myself from growling as he walked in grinning with a sad Jacob in tow.

I sat up along with Edward and the others and Carlisle came in and let them explain, Paul was holding a big box which he dropped on the floor and Jacob placed to smaller ones by the door.

"Jake, what's going on?" I asked and he sighed and was about to answer when Paul stepped in.

"What's going on Isabella is this is all your crap from Sam and Emily's, we had a meeting and it was unanimous vote- you're out! You're forbidden to come back to La push and that includes the pack. You're a traitor Isabella so there you are enjoy your new life with these leaches!" he spat and that was all it took I lunged for him and shot him straight through the glass door outside where we landed and created a crater from the impact and I held him against the ground.

"If it weren't for Sam, Emily, Jake, Leah and Seth I would enjoy destroying you for calling them that! Now if you know what's good for you you'll leave and keep your smart ass comments to yourself" I said and I stepped back as he tried to punch me but I grabbed his arm to stop him and I smirked.

He growled and went to attack me but Jake got in the way and threw him into the trees, he turned back to me with a sorry glance.

"I'm so sorry Bella there was nothing we could do, Leah, Seth, Sam, Em and I all tried. You've been with us for as long as some of our legends are bells but they refused to see it that way and took Paul's side...I just hope that they look after you even if they are bloo-vampires and I just wish I could stick around to see you be happy" he said and I hugged him.

"I'll miss my little cous." He said and I smiled and nodded

"Me too, bye Jake- oh do me a favour next time you and that mutt get in a fight- punch him good and hard and say it's from me would you?" I asked and he laughed and hugged me again.

"Course I will and I know for definite it won't be long, If it weren't for Sam and the others I would've let you destroy him too...damn well deserves it" he said and I smiled.

We said goodbye one last time before he ran off into the forest and I felt the tears begin to fall. A pair of arms suddenly wrapped around me and I looked up to see Edward and he pulled me into his chest and rocked me gently with his face buried in my hair as I sobbed silently.

Eventually I stopped and looked up at Edward and he wiped the remaining tears from my face.

"I'm so sorry love" he said and I looked at him confused.

"What? Why are you sorry?" I asked and he cupped my face.

"I shouldn't have made you choose between your family and me" he said and I shook my head.

"Edward you didn't they did and you have nothing to be sorry about, I just don't know where I am going to go now" I said and Edward frowned.

"What do you mean you have no where to go? You are staying right here, if you're giving up your family for me I'm not just going to sit by and watch you get put into a foster home or what ever. You are staying right here with me and the rest of our family, understood?" he asked and I nodded and smiled and he hugged me tightly.

We slowly made our way back in and Alice and Rose hugged me straight away.

"Were happy that we haven't lost our sister" they said and I smiled.

"Do you two say everything in unison?" I asked and I heard the others laugh.

"No" they said and we all laughed as we walked into the living room.

I sat next to Edward and he pulled me straight into his lap and I snuggled into his chest.

"Bella dear, I went and put your things in Edward's room if that's alright?" she said and I blushed lightly.

"Erm...yes, thank you Esme" I said and she smiled and Edward winked and I giggled as he kissed my cheek.

"Bella did you attend school back in La push?" Carlisle asked and I nodded.

"I started freshman last year, I'm now a junior why?" I asked and Carlisle smiled.

"Well we're going to get you transcripts sent to forks high so you can attend with this lot" he said chuckling and I smiled and giggled.

"Sure, may as well" I said and even though I was hurt over the loss of my family I was happy because I gained another.

"There was something else as well..." Carlisle said and I turned to him and felt Edward stiffen beneath me and the others turned as well.

"Yes?" I asked nervously.

"When Esme took the small box upstairs a few papers came out that were slotted in the top that I think you might want to know about" Carlisle said handing me them, they were my adoption papers.

"My adoption papers? Why did they give me these?" I asked and Carlisle sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"It states on the next page that if Sam or Emily could no longer take care of you, then your guardian automatically becomes chief swan" he said and I felt my eyes widen and I flicked over the next page and there it was.

If either Samuel Uley or Emily Uley can no longer take care of Isabella Marie Apollo all guardian rights fall to Charles Swan Chief of police...

"I didn't know anything about this!" I practically screamed and Edward rubbed my back.

"You wouldn't do...no wonder Paul was so smug earlier he knew....they must've set this up the other day whilst you were with us....they did that so you couldn't stay with us...with me". He said sadly and I just wanted to scream and break everything in my sight...but I couldn't.

"Well we'll still see each other at school and Chief swan's a nice guy you already know that...I'm sure he'd let you sleepover sometimes or we can just sneak in when he's asleep" Alice said and I felt my lips twitch, that sounds just like something she would say.

"Bella it's not so bad, I mean you've got us 8 hours a day at school and like Alice said I'm sure the chief will let you stop over and I mean it's only till you turn 18 in theory of course" Jasper said and I smiled slightly and sighed.

"Okay...." I said and Edward hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear.

"That's my girl" and I smiled and giggled.

"Only you..." I said shaking my head and he chuckled slightly and kissed my head.

"So when will I have to leave?" I asked and Carlisle smiled slightly I think they were just trying to cheer me up about everything.

"Well its 7:15 now so I'll give the chief a call and see what he says" Carlisle said and I nodded and bit my lip.

Carlisle went up to his office to make the call and we all could hear what was being said.

"Hello, chief swan speaking"

"Hello Charlie, its Carlisle Cullen here" he said calmly, I could understand so much more now he truly is the father figure in this household.

"Dr Cullen what a surprise! I wasn't expecting to hear from you- what can I do you for?"

"Actually it's not me I'm calling about, you wouldn't have spoken to Sam Uley recently have you?" he asked.

"Ah yes, I have- this is about little Isabella isn't it?" he asked.

"Little? Who's he calling little, I'm 17 not 7" I huffed and the others laughed and I heard Carlisle smirk upstairs.

"Not so little but yes this is about Isabella, I believe that you have now been named sole guardian of Isabella and I was wondering when you would like us to bring her over and help her get settled?" Carlisle asked.

"Oh, I didn't know she was with you Dr. Cullen...but yes she can some over whenever she's ready...I know this must be difficult for her, having lived on the reservation for so many years" he said and I smirked.

"Oh you have no idea, chief swan...none what so ever" I muttered and the others laughed- loudly I might add.

"Was that the kids?" He asked.

"Yes, the boys have been getting a little competitive with their games and the girls I finding it highly amusing" Carlisle said and we all laughed again.

"Ha, ha not to worry- I'm in till 10:30 before I have to go to the station, so if you want to bring her down the kids are more than welcome to stay and help her get things settled...I'm trying to get hold of her transcripts though for the school..." he said before Carlisle interrupted.

"Chief I had them faxed over to me this morning, we didn't discover the papers about you being Isabella's guardian until late last night so I already had them sent here but I can bring them with us when we drop off Isabella and then you can take them to the school" Carlisle said.

"Yes, that will be fine- I'm sorry that Isabella didn't know about this arrangement, I was told that she knew" chief said and Carlisle sighed.

"No, she didn't she wasn't told until her things were dropped off here last night and even then we had to find out for ourselves, I'm sorry if that's sounds harsh but Isabella has had a ruff night and it wasn't the easiest of things to digest first thing in the morning" Carlisle said and chief swan agreed.

"Not at all Dr. Cullen the poor girl has every right to be upset, I just hope that she'll be comfortable living with me" he said and I did feel bad for the man, he didn't have any kids and probably doesn't have a clue about teenagers apart from the ones he arrests.

"Chief, I'm sure Isabella will be fine as long as she's alright to sleepover with girls occasionally?" Carlisle asked and I smiled.

"Of course, I tend to work till late of the evenings anyway so she is more than welcome to stay around yours after school if she wishes to and I have no problems about her sleeping over. I'm glad to be honest that she'll be able to go to school and have someone she knows" he said and I smiled, Charlie was a good guy from the times I'd met him. I'd had to make myself look younger but he was a decent guy who took his job seriously.

"I'm sure she'll be just fine with you chief, anyways I'll let you go so we can get her things together and we'll see you shortly. Goodbye chief"

"Goodbye Dr. Cullen and thanks"

The line went dead and I looked up at Edward and he smiled and kissed my head.

Carlisle came down and smiled and I nodded and sat up.

"I guess it'll be a surprise for Charlie to see me again, I think the last time I saw him I was about 11/12 maybe I think" I said and Carlisle raised his eyebrow.

"What do you mean Bella?" Alice asked and I smiled.

"I had to make myself look younger every time I went to see him so the last time I saw him I was still quiet young, something like this" I said before I shrunk slightly and now stood an 11 years old version of me and they grinned.

"Okay that is so cool" Emmett said and I nodded and turned myself back to my 17 year old but changed into a blue button up shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans and black uggs. I sat back down next to Edward and he kissed my head.

"Man, it's going to take some used to going back to dressing normal again" I said sighing and Alice looked confused.

"Alice you saw what I wore a few moments ago, that's how I normally dress apart for school" I said and she nodded.

Edward took me upstairs to collect my things and I was kind of sad to be leaving I mean a whole 24 hours without Edward, that was going to be harsh.

Edward wrapped his arms around me hugging me since this was our goodbye until tomorrow, he couldn't come with me to Charlie's only Alice, Rose and Carlisle.

"My sweet Bella, I love you so much, I always will" he said and I smiled and brushed my lips against his.

"As I love you Edward, I love you, forever" I said sighing slightly.

Edward gave me a passionate and loving kiss before we headed downstairs where Emmett hugged the life out of me and Jasper gave me a small comforting hug. Esme hugged me goodbye and kissed my cheek, I blew one last kiss to Edward before we got in the car and drove to Charlie's.

When we were in the car I was upset but then something popped into my head.

"Alice how far is the school from Charlie's?" I asked and she shrugged.

"Driving within the speed limit about 20 minutes not including traffic" she said and I groaned.

"Great....wait how am I supposed to get there in the first place I don't have a car?" I said and Alice and Rose smiled.

"Silly Bella, we'll come and get you in the mornings" Alice said and I smiled but then I thought about the weather.

"One more thing, what am I supposed to tell him when it's sunny?" I asked looking back and forth between her and Rose, both of their faces blank.

"I can sort that, our family supposedly going camping when the weather is good I'll simply ask Charlie to allow you to come with us after handing him your transcripts- which by the way are pretty impressive- how many times have you been to high school Bella?" Carlisle asked and I smiled.

"One in the sixty's, ninety's and this is my 3rd time I've only been to collage once, I had to space out the gaps a lot more than you guys probably did because I had to stay in the same area because of the pack" I said and he smiled and nodded.

"Still they are pretty impressive- what do you plan to do when you leave?" he asked.

"Probably collage again but I want to study a different field this time- last time I did English Lit. This time I think I'll do something to do with the arts or culinary field" I said and he smiled and nodded.

"Well maybe...this is just maybe...but when we do go to collage why don't you come with us, we all go at the same time to the same place obviously and that way you get to be with all of us everyday..." Alice said and I smiled.

"Sounds like fun" I said and Alice squealed and clapped and I just laughed as did Rose and Carlisle.

Too soon for my liking we pulled up outside of Charlie's the house wasn't too bad...but I did have my reservations. How was I going to be able to practice my magic seeing as Charlie couldn't know and would I fit in with the new school with the Cullens.....I highly doubt it?
