Bella POV

Nessie came in limping. I immediately went by her side and wrapped her arm around my shoulder to give her support. I had patched up her bleeding wound on the neck. She seemed down. The venom I had given her felt like burning to her wounds but she didn't say anything. Her winces were like knives to my dead heart and there wasn't much I could do to take away the pain. I had made her change to a loose light blue frock.

I had no time to explain the situation to the other vampires in the room. She slowly sat on the chair. If I could take away her pain, I would have. The three vampires stared at Nessie intently. She hated being the center of attention. She touched my cheek with her left hand. I saw the memory of us to talking to Charlotte about a certain Olympic Coven. I nodded at her. She sighed in relief. Olympic coven didn't have a violent reputation. She started eating the food in small bites. I gestured the three vampires to sit along with us at the dining table. I gave a polite smile to Carlisle.

"So. My name is Hazel Kingston and this is my sister Vanessa Kingston." I lied fluently. Nessie gave a small smile. The Olympic Coven had a really good reputation but I did not trust them enough to tell them about Nessie. Who was I kidding? I didn't trust anyone. We had always introduced ourselves as sisters for it made everything much easier. The bronze haired vampire still hadn't dropped his staring. He was kind of pretty. The pixie was staring everywhere trying to make sense of things. Carlisle was more reserved and politely smiled at me.

"I am Carlisle Cullen. Head of my family. This is Alice." He said gesturing towards the pixie. "And this is Edward." He said gesturing towards the bronze haired vampire.

"Are you alright?" I asked Edward for he seemed to be in some sort of pain.

"F-fine." He croaked. I frowned but took his word. Nessie snickered at him. What was so funny? She touched my cheek again showing me how Edward had checked me out when my back was turned. I was mortified. Nessie started chuckling at my face.

"What's so funny?" Alice asked Nessie.

"She's not allowed to speak. Doctor's orders." I said firmly. Carlisle chuckled.

"You're a doctor, Bel-Hazel?" He asked smiling.

"Yes." I flashed a brilliant smile. "I wanted to make difference. You're a doctor too as I heard." I said smiling.

"Yes." Carlisle nodded. "How old are you?"

"One hundred and twenty-seven by vampire years." I answered.

"Human?" Carlisle asked.

"Eighteen." I smiled. It was a guess though. I must be eighteen. I think.

Carlisle nodded. "Birthday?" He asked. I frowned. I didn't know my birthday but I couldn't say that now.

"What's with all the questions?" I asked not answering his question. Carlisle shook his head.

Alice gave Nessie a curious look. "I don't understand. You aren't human. You're not a vampire either." She said looking at Nessie.

Nessie smiled. "Doctor's orders." I reminded her before she could open her mouth. She frowned at me. I knew she wasn't going to tell them the truth but I was afraid about her neck. She had finished her food and was now sitting at the chair leaning back. "Nessie is nothing but an immortal pain in the ass." I answered, nodding as if stating a fact.

"Hey!" Nessie pouted at me. Alice giggled.

She had spoken. I mentally slapped myself. Not the best time to provoke her Hazel. At that point, I noticed that the scent of Nessie's blood had lessened. Her wound had sealed itself! Finally! I mentally cheered. "Your wound has healed." I grinned and went to her side. I went by her side and slowly peeled of the bandage. The bite mark had healed. I quickly disposed it in trash. Nessie glared at me. I looked at everyone innocently.

"I hate you Hazel." Nessie said as if stating a fact.

"No you don't." I said firmly.

"No I don't." Nessie nodded defeated. She was so adorable sometimes. She turned to Carlisle. "Is the big guy alright?" She asked.

"Kind of. He'll be fine in three hours." Alice said immediately.

"I am so sorry about it. He just wouldn't leave Nessie. And he lunged at me after he attacked her." I said immediately apologizing. The incident still scared me. What if I hadn't come by in time? What if the vampire had already drained my only daughter? Edward choked at that point.

"Are you alright?" He asked me worried.

"I can defend myself just fine." I said firmly slightly annoyed that he thought I needed protecting. Hadn't he seen how I'd beaten the big guy up?

"Can I ask how you got that scar?" Carlisle asked gesturing towards the one on my forehead. Nessie took my hand between her palms.

"I would like to not talk about it." I said with a polite smile as the bitter memory came back. Nessie immediately touched my cheek. I saw us dancing in a bright meadow with the cherry blossom flying around. It was really amazing memory. I sighed in content as she slowly pulled her hand away. I looked at her thankfully gazing in her bright green emerald eyes. She reminded me of everything good. I could never be unhappy while gazing at my daughter smiling. I hugged her relishing the warmth. I kissed her forehead lovingly. I look back to see the Edward had broken the end of the table. His eyes were black. What is wrong with this guy? "Are you sure you're fine Edward?" I asked frowning.

"Yes." He said and got up and left my house slamming the front door shut. I turned to Carlisle.

"Is he usually this grumpy?" I asked giggling.

"Yes. You should see him with Rosalie." Alice said immediately.

"Tell us about your family." I said pleasantly ignoring all the awkwardness. "I heard you are a coven of seven. Am I correct?" I asked.

"You heard about us?" Carlisle asked suspiciously.

"Yes. You're quite famous. I heard about you from some vampire called Charlotte." I said. "Her mate is Peter?" I didn't' remember his name probably but it started from P

"Ah." Alice said. "He's a friend of Jasper, my mate." She said.

"They didn't specifically mention him." I said. "I am sorry about the big guy again." I apologized.

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" Carlisle asked.

"Well…Nessie was just draining a lion when the big guy jumped and bit her. I tore him away from Ness but he went crazy so I had to knock him down." I said.

"You knocked out Emmett?" Alice asked raising her brows. Nessie chuckled.

"That's the guy? He wouldn't stand a chance against Hazel." Nessie said confidently.

"He's strong." I lied in admission.

"Weak." Nessie said in assessment.

"I had some trouble." I lied trying to make it believable.

"Yeah. Trouble not killing him." She snickered right after I finished.

"Vanessa." I warned.

"Haze." She said giving me the oh so innocent look. I narrowed my eyes at her and smacked her head. Nessie looked at me with an open jaw. "That hurt!" She said feigning hurt.

Was she really gonna do this now?
