I don't own twilight!
The whole way to the school I held onto Jasper. My arms weren't around his torso like
their supposed to be, but instead they were wrapped around his lower waist.
We pulled into the school and Almost instantly it was full of gossip that me and Jazz were going out. I smiled. We got off the bike and walked over to where the rest of the Cullen's were standing at Eddies Volvo. As I walked up they were all reading my shirt. Edward frowned while the rest of his family started laughing. I smiled at them.
"Wow Bells, love the shirt" Emmett said while still laughing
"Really?" I asked innocently. I played with the hem of it "Yeah, I had it made yesterday" I said with an innocent smile.
Rosalie looked at me "Since when are you actually fun?" she asked. They looked at her in shock from her question. I laughed.
"Ya'll can calm down I'm not gana kill ya. But to answer your question I've learned not to let people run over me and I learned the best way to do that is be a bitch" I concluded. Their eyes widened and I rolled my eyes.
Alice skipped up to me "So are you going to come over after school?" she asked.
"You already know the answer to that" I said to her.
"Yay" she squealed. I couldn't help but smile.
"So now ya'll know I'm comin' over to the house" a asked. They wanted to ask something. I just knew it.
"Bella, why do you have a southern drawl?" Eddie asked.
"Okay 1) My names not Bella. It hasn't been that for 200 years 2) Why should I answer any of you're questions?" I asked him. They all looked at me sadly. I sighed. "I've spent the past 50 years in the south." I answered. Jasper looked at me.
"Did ya stay in Texas for a while?" Jasper asked
"Yeah. Its actually quite beautiful there. I expected it to be hot and just completely miserable, but it was pretty" I said with a smile on my face. The entire family was watching us talk.
"What part did you like the most?" He asked enthusiastically.
"I stayed in a town just outside of Houston for about 15 years actually. That was my favorite place because you feel so connected to the earth there. The animals are loving and the plants thrive" I explained.
"Really? That's around the area that I used to live in when I was human. I would always go sit and just listen to the wind rustling through the leaves" He said.
Just then the bell rang. I wished we could keep talking. With Edward I had to think about what I was going to say. But the conversations came natural with Jasper.
"Come on Bella, lets go to class" Edward said. He wrapped his arm around my waist and said bye to his family. I slipped out of his arm and stood a foot away from him.
"I'll talk to you later Major" I said and Jazz smiled at me.
"Sure thing Izzy" He said.
Me and Eddie walked to class in silence most of the way. Right before we entered the classroom he cut me off and turned to me.
"Bella, you need to stop hanging around with Jasper so much. People are starting to think that you two are dating" He said to me. If felt like laughing, but he was actually serious.
"So what. Their just humans" I said
He wrapped his arms around my waist "What do you think about us getting back together?" He asked. Was this ass hole serious! I grabbed his arm and threw it off of me.
"Eddie, I'm only going to say this one more time" I said. I put my hand on his shoulder "I'm not in love with you" I said and he looked at me.
"Why not. You used to be in love with me. We loved each other" he said. He gave me a sad look.
"Exactly Eddie, the keywords are 'used to'. You left me. I had no family. No friends. Just no one. You were my family and my lover. You left and it changed every fiber of my being" I told him.
"I still love you Bella. I only left-" He tried to argue but I cut him off.
"We'll talk about this after school. Right now we have to get to class" I said and walked past him.
I was quiet throughout my classes. When a teacher would ask a question I would answer. I avoided answering any more questions from the Cullen's because I knew it would be better to explain it all in front of the whole family all at once. At lunch I just listened as Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper talked about my bike and Alice planned a shopping trip. I got tired of that quickly and decided to relax. I went out to the forest and just relaxed. I became one with the nature. She didn't like my outfits very much. Eddie just watched me throughout the entire day. My last class was Spanish and I had it with both Emmett and Jasper. They kept talking to me but I would only nod or shake my head. After class me and the Cullen's met up by my motorcycle in the parking lot.
"Okay so what are we doing?" I asked them
"We'll meet you at the house" Alice said.
"Sure thing Sugar" I said and got onto my bike. "Race ya guys home" I said. Emmett smiled and they ran to their car. They pulled up next to me and I saw that Emmett was driving the Volvo.
"Em, be careful. Eddie's gana kill ya if you nick his car" I said while laughing slightly.
"Stop calling me Eddie" Edward asked. I looked at him.
"I'll call you whatever the hell I wana" I said then yelled "Ready set go!" I yelled quickly. The students starred at us as we took off. I went slow at first and let them get ahead of me. About half way there I got bored of losing and hit gas. I was speeding up and would pass then easily. I was about even with them and decided to let off the gas and I just stayed next to them. I heard Emmett mumble something like 'damn girl' and was smacked my Rosalie.
"Thanks Rose" I said then took off. I got to their house about 10 seconds before they arrived and I was sitting on the floor playing with a group of flowers. I would chainge their height, color, and shape. I made one raibow and made a black rose. I just kept playing with them untill they got here. They got out of their car and walked over to me. I made a perfect red rose and a rainbow daisy grow instantly and handed to them to the girls.
"A flawles rose for my lovely Rose" I said smiling and handed it to her while I slightly bowed.
"Wow that's not corny at all" she said with a sarcastic smile and I smiled back
"Yes, yes it was" The I walked over to Alice "And a color chalanged daisy for my Pixy" I said and gave it to her. She tried to glare at me but started laughing.
"You're so going to pay later for calling me that" she said still laughing
Emmett looked at me sadly "I want one Bells" He said. He pouted.
"Okay fine" I grumbled. I snapped my fingers and made a 12 ft high sunflower grow right next to him. He smiled so widely that I thought his dimples couldn't get any bigger. "A huge sunflower for my Emmy Bear" I said and was instantly engulfed in a huge hug. I hugged him back with about the equivalent of vampire strength.
"Thank you Bellsie Welsie" He said and Rose hit him again. He mumbled an 'ow' before grabbing his huge flower and plucking it out of the ground. He ran into the house holding it close.
"Mommy, Daddy, look at what Bellsie Welsie got me!" He yelled. Alice grabbed my hand and danced into he house while pulling me behind her. I entered the living room. It was exactly the same. This was where I met my family and where I had so many good memories. I felt tears threaten to fall, but I held them back. Jasper looked at me with a sad look. I smiled at him to reassure him that I was fine. I looked to the stairs and saw Carlisle and Esme standing at the bottom of them.
"Lets sit so that we can talk" Carlisle said in a fatherly tone. They all nodded.
"Sure, sure" I mumbled and sat on a couch. There were two couches in the house. I sat on one and instantly had Alice and Edward on both sides of me. Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme were on the other couch. Eddie put his arm around me and I was about to set it on fire.
"Bella don't!" Alice almost yelled. That stopped me just as I was about to.
"Fine" I mumbled. I looked around at all of them. "Okay fine ask whatever you want" I told them. I already knew the first question they would ask.
"What are you?" Esme asked me.
I smiled at all of them, trying to anticipate their reaction. "I'm the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the nature. I have control of the elements, weather and I can speak to plants and animals. I'm also stronger, faster, I'm less breakable then you, and my senses are stronger" I said. They looked at me as if I was crazy.
"That's impossible. The gods can't have children" Carlisle asked and I rolled my eyes.
"They only can have one child at a time. Its a law I guess. We're immortal obviously. Charlie and Renee were the first family that my mother made me actually live with. We had a huge fight about it and I haven't spoken to her since. But almost every god or goddess has a child. Friggen Aphrodite's son, Steven, is a complete brat.. He's so narcissistic that I'm about to kill him, but ya gata love his charm" I shrugged.
"How old are you?" Jasper asked
"Oh god...Uh its 2210 right?" they all nodded "Okay so I was born in 1542 so that makes me 568 years old." I stated with a smile. They all looked at me
"You were 368 years old when we met in 2010?" Edward asked me shocked.
"Yeah, and you were the one always showing off how old you were" I laughed at him.
"Okay any more questions?" I asked them
"You said that you could talk to plants and animals. Is that why the mountain lion came up to you earlier?" Alice asked me with a curious glance.
"Yeah, that's also why you walked into the meadow to find me crying. The plants were all crying for my help. Then the lion asked me for help. Plants are always needing help. 'Princess a cat scratched my trunk, can you heal it' 'Princess there has been a dry spell can you heal us'. There's always something they need" I said. I loved every part of nature but the living parts got annoying sometimes.
"Why do they call you Princess?" Rose asked.
"Because I'm the goddess of natures daughter. That pretty much makes me a princess" I told her.
"Why did you change this morning?" Esme asked. I gave her a sad look and took a deep breath.
"That's my natural form. Or my demigod for some would call it. That's when I'm most powerful and also the most deadly. If I lose control of my temper, or in you children's case, someone sneaks up on me, I can change. But I can also will myself to change just because. Either I want the power or I just want to be like that. When I'm in my natural form, I feel like I'm connected to the earth. Like that's how I'm meant to be" I explained. "And if you don't mind I'm going to go outside because I hate being concealed in houses" I said while looking nervously around.
I walked outside, aware that they were following. I grew grass on the ground and sat on it. I changed into my natural form.
"Why do you all care if I'm back. Don't act like you actually care about me" I said with a sad look.
They all gave me a 'what the hell are you talking about look'.
"I was trying to tell you earlier Bella. We left to protect you. Well now we know that It was a useless plan, but I didn't want you to get hurt because of me. I lied to you in the forest. I didn't mean it" Edward just about begged me.
"What the hell are you talking about Edward?" Jasper asked
"Do you know what he said when he left?" I asked them. They all shook their heads.
"He said that he told you that It was dangerous to be around us" Carlisle said. I glared at Edward.
"Well Eddie, it seems that you not only lied to me but your family" I said with a smirk.
"What happened?" Jasper asked. I looked at the ground.
"I'll show you" I said and stretched my hand out, fingers spread apart. The wind started to blow and dirt started to lift off the ground creating shapes. The shapes were life sized silhouettes of me and Edward. The wind running through the leaves created the words as they saw a replay of everything that happened in the woods. Everything Edward said. Eery lie. Even me getting lost and collapsing onto the forest ground.
"Edward!" his whole family yelled at the same time. He flinched. So they really had no idea what happened.
They all yelled at him. I only heard fragments
"How could you?" -Esme
"I'm very disappointed in you son" -Carlisle
"You selfish bastard" -Rose
"Son of a bitch, why?" -Emmett
"I should have seen it" -Alice
"God damn it Edward" -Jasper
God these people were annoying. I sighed dramatically.
"Just all of you go away and yell at him. I don't wana listing to this crap" I said
They all walked towards the forest. All of them except Jasper. It was lightly drizzling and I had just about enough of this rain. I raised my hands to the sky. The rain stopped and the clouds moved away revealing the sun. It shown down on us and made his skin glitter like thousands of diamonds. He was beautiful. He looked nervous. He was pulling down the sleeves of his shirt that he had bunched up earlier.
"Jasper come here" I said and he did as I asked. "Sit" I told him and I grew more grass next to me that he sat on. "Give me your arm" I said in a calm voice. I was still in my natural form looked deadly and scary to most, but I was speaking in a calm, sincere voice. He reluctantly held out his arm and I pushed up his sleeve. His arm was covered in tiny crescent shaped scars. I traced a few of the scars and he just stayed there. He was projecting curiosity. I held up my wrist his eyes narrowed at my flawless skin there. There was no scar in the place that James had bitten me. I looked up at his curious gaze and chuckled.
"Do you want to know one of our biggest secrets?" I asked him. This was a secret that only the children of gods knew, and rarely their mates. To be truthful, I had no idea why I was showing this to him.
He nodded. I waved my hand over my arm and my scar from James showed up. But not only that but a vibrant purple tree also did. It was my mark. The mark of the demigods. We all had them depending on our parent. We all had the power to hide them but they also hid any other cuts, scars, ect. from peoples view. He grabbed my arm and brushed a finger over the my mark. I felt a small shock and flinched back and so did he.
"What the hell" I murmured. He mumbled something along those lines but shrugged and looked over my mark. We just dropped it after that. I mean, Doesn't everyone feel a shock when their touched by an amazingly hot cowboy. Shit! Empath!
"So what do you think?" I asked stupidly. I just needed to destract him before he felt my lust.
"What is it?" He asked me.
"Its my mark. We all have one that corresponds to our parent. We have a choice of cover it up or to show it" I told him. He looked down at his own scar covered arm and I could feel the disgust that he was projecting. I grabbed his arm and rubbed up it gently.
"Don't feel that way. We all have things that Identify us as who we are. I have my natural form and I even still have the scar from James. And your scars are you. Don't ever feel disgust for them. They make you who you are, no matter what people may think" I said. He looked at me.
"Don't they disgust you? Don't they scare you?" he asked. I put my hand to his face and brushed his cheek with my thumb.
"They don't disgust be. They don't because they are a part of you" I said. I looked into his eyes and was mesmerized. I felt as if I was looking into his soul. I could see all the appreciation that he held for me. We were just looking into each others eyes for god knows how long before his family came back. We looked away and I stood up.
"I should probably get going" I said and turned around
"Aw but we were going to have so much fun" Emmett said and I laughed.
"I'll be back tomorrow, I promise. And to remember my by, my dearest Emmett" I said with a smile. I stretched my hands to the ground and spread my fingers. Giant sunflowers started to grow all around Emmett and the rest of the family. There were probably hundreds of flowers, each at least 12 ft tall.
"Sweet!" I heard Emmett's voice boom over everyone's surprised yells.
"Later Cullen's" I yelled before getting on my bike and driving home.
Maybe seeing the Cullen's again wasn't such a bad thing. Well only one of them was bad.
