Chief POV

Damn it! I was hoping it wasn't her. No such luck. Fuck my life it is all about her. She's already started changing and there's no way to stop it. I thought the prophecy was a fluke. A violet eyed goddess would rise above the ashes and make way for a new world.

My dear innocent sweet pea. She has no idea what's about to happen. I really need to hurry up and get over to the Cullen's house. Between Carlisle, Eleazar and I, we'll figure out what's going on and when the shit is gonna hit the fan. We need to keep this from those Italian fucks. Damn...not good.

I pulled into the hidden drive. Eleazar and Carlisle are already waiting for me. I get out of the cruiser and head up to the door only to be met by the lovely Esme.

"They are in his study waiting for you. Tell me Charlie, is it true? Is she really starting to change?" Esme asks.

I let out a deep sigh and nod to answer her. "I don't know what's brought it on. It could be a number of things. Her mother, I'm sure, started the cycle. Today Jake really pissed her off. Not sure what the hell has gotten into that boy, but he's in a world of shit once Billy hears about it. Then there was the grocery store incident. It's just been building. I just don't know what's gonna happen next. Es, I'm so scared right now. What are we gonna do?" I ask barely holding onto what small amount of composure I have left.

"Don't you worry about a thing dear. We'll be here to help. I promise you that." Esme cooed as she led me to the study. "Just go on in." With that said, she flitted away.

"The kids are out hunting so we are safe to speak freely. I'm not expecting them home until tomorrow night. Now, tell us, what's happened." Carlisle inquires.

"Well, I'm not sure what started first. She has an evil streak in her that's never been there before. I think Renee and Phil got the jump off. She has a rage and hatred deep in her that just came out. That's why Phil hit her. She put her mother in her place and she has the mouth of a sailor these days. Fuck, she could probably make them blush. Then, today, she projected her thoughts. Again, they were full of hatred and rage. I think your daughters had something to do with that." he stated while glaring at Eleazar "You need to put them in check before Bella does something bad to them. Seriously. You'll have to ask Edward what all was being said in their heads which brings us to her first ability. She can read minds and apparently talk to people through her mind. Have a full blown conversation with them. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit worried. She already thinks of herself as a loner. This will make it worse. Now she'll think she's a freak on top of it all." Shit, I don't think I've ever talked so much in my life. I could give Alice a run for her money.

"We will definitely need to keep an eye out on her at all times. With the animosity your girls caused, this is going to be hard. She was starting to open up to Alice until your daughters showed up. Eleazar, reign them in before it's too late and we not only lose them, but Bella as well. If the Volturi find out..."

"Don't worry about a thing. The girls are going back to Alaska for school. They only came down here for the summer. I have it on good authority that they will be meeting their mates this year." Eleazar stated. "We need to find out more about this prophecy. When can you get Billy and the elders here? He asked.

"They will be coming over tonight for a cookout at the house. Bella's not gonna like that since that means Jake will be there. He's already treating her like shit. I'm at my wits end on what to do with that situation. When are you sending the girls back to Alaska?" I asked.

"They leave when they get back from this hunting trip. They don't know this yet which will cause a bit of a rift since they all seem to like Edward...but they'll be leaving without a choice. I'll tell them I'm taking them shopping in Seattle and drop them off at the airport. I will need Alice's help since she has seen that they will meet their mates this school year. Do you mind if I bring her with me?" he asks.

"Do what you need to do. My kids need time to rebuild the bridge they've already burned with her. Keep your daughters away until they have met their mates. I need you and Carmen to stay here just a bit longer so we can get a feel for her abilities and to explain what's going on with Bella. She's not going to take this seriously. She must know the truth though." Carlisle stated pensively.

"Ok, sounds like we have a plan then. Tonight, we gather at my house with the elders and we tell Bella the truth. Hope you are all prepared for a long night." I stated as I stood up and shook both of their hands before heading back out to the station.

EPOV

She heard me today. How is that possible? She's human and she read my mind. She held a conversation with me in her mind. What's even worse? As soon as our eyes met, my world shifted. All I could see was her. Her big violet eyes. Yes, violet. I've never seen eyes that color before.

She has a fire inside of her as well. Not to mention a whole lot of animosity. She's been treated like shit by damn near everyone which doesn't surprise me. Humans suck. Yes, I used to be one, but humans these days baffle me. They have no common sense and they are rude creatures that have no boundaries. They are cruel and malicious. They will eat her alive. Especially some of the catty bitches that go to Forks High. Then lets not get started on the rez kids that attend school there. They are just as bad. Not to mention the reek of wet dog. Not sure what that's about, but it can't be good.

"Jacob Black already treated her like she's the scum of the earth. There's something wrong with that kid. I can't get in his head though. I have a really bad feeling about him. Like he's leading a double life." Alice states bringing me back to the present.

"I feel so bad for her. I mean, did you see how the Denali's were looking at her? Edward what were they saying to her? Especially for her to just blow up and project her thoughts like that?" Jazz asked.

"They were just being their normally cruel selves. They were trying to claim me as theirs. I never should've hooked up with them. What the fuck was I thinking?" I pondered. "Hell, Tanya called her mousy. She's anything but that! Damn, she's...she's..."

"Fucking gorgeous." Em finished for me. "When I looked into her eyes, my world slid off it's axis. I feel very...protective of her. Like I will take on the world just to keep her safe." he added.

"Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I feel this...pull to her." I stated.

"Exactly!" Em agreed with me. "The only question is, what does it all mean? I mean, Rosie is one hot mama, but Bella...she's...she's..."

"Different." I added.

"Yeah." he agreed. "Something's happening bro, and I'm not sure exactly what that means. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I'm stuck like glue to her."

"We all are." Jazz added. "There's just something about her that brings out the beast in me. Anything comes near her and I want to tear it apart for invading her space."

"She's something special that's for sure. I just don't know who else feels like this. We should keep this to ourselves and keep an eye out for others that react as we do to her. Know what I mean?" Alice asks. "Jazz, keep an eye on everyone's emotions when they come into contact with her. Edward, get in their heads. We'll meet here twice a week to share what we know! I'll keep an eye on the future as decisions are made. DON'T tell this to Rose. I have a bad feeling about her for some odd reason. The Denali's are leaving tomorrow. Dad will be asking me to ride with Eleazar to make sure they think we are "shopping" and we'll be dropping them off at the airport. They meet their mates this year. I've seen it."

"Good. They'll finally get off my nuts!" talk about a weight lifting off my shoulders. "Now all I have to worry about are the Catty Bitches of Forks High." I state.

"You also have to worry about the entire male population. Once they get a glimpse of Bella, they'll want her for themselves. It's gonna be a mad house."

Just then, I started growling. Em was as well. Just the thought of someone looking at her the wrong way set me on fire.

"MINE!" we both yelled at the same time through our growls and snarls.

Just then, a vision ran through my head. Em and I were walking the halls of Forks with Bella laughing between us. We both had looks of adoration on our faces as we looked down at her. Looks like the three of us will be close. Rose is walking behind us with a sneer on her face. That's not very promising. "Yeah, I think we need to keep and eye on Rose." I state looking at Alice.

"We should head back to the house now. It's almost time for me to go with Eleazar."

With that, we all take off running back to the house.

JPOV

Who the fuck does that bitch think she is? She's supposed to save us all? Bullshit if you ask me. That bitch isn't shit. I could take her with my eyes closed. Fuck her and fuck that damn prophecy bullshit. I refuse to protect that whore.

I know I'm supposed to help the leeches in town for the greater good, but what the fuck? Everyone seems to think there's something special about the mousy bitch. Either way, I could give 2 shits and a fuck less about the so called greater good. I'll keep an eye on her and relay what I know to the better side. At least they will pay me for what I know.

Looking up at the clock, I see it's time to meet with my accomplice. I head out into the woods, drop trou, and phase to meet up with the leech just outside the treaty line.

Once I get there, I phase back and put my shorts back on just as she drops out of a tree.

"What have you got for me so far?" I ask.

"The Cullens are keeping something from me. I overheard bits and pieces from the kids saying that there is something special about the mousy little tart. She's gaining abilities. So far, she can read minds and project thoughts. Have a full blown conversation in her mind with you. That's all I know so far. They plan on keeping her away from me." Blondie stated.

"Is there any way you can try to get closer to her?" I ask.

"Not sure. They already suspect something's not right with me. If they figure it out, the jig is up. I'll see what I can do though and keep you posted on what I find out. Let me handle the calls to the Volturi. They'll take it better from a fellow vamp. Especially if they find out what you are. They will want to enslave you like they did the rest of the shape shifters. Best to keep a low profile."

"As long as I get my cut, I don't give a shit." I state. "We are heading over to the Chief's house for a meeting and to tell Bella what's going on. I'll let you know what I find out from there. Expect my call and be out of the house later on tonight." I state as I turn to leave. "Before I forget, thanks for the info Rose."

APOV

I knew it...I knew it...I FUCKING KNEW IT! That bitch Rose is gonna be harder to shake than I thought.

Before I could think of what to do with this, Edward flew into my room snarling like a rabid dog. "We need to talk to Carlisle...NOW!" With that, he ran out of the room and headed to his office.

"What did you see Alice?" Jazz asks.

"Round up everyone. Rose is gonna try to betray us." With that, I flew down the stairs to get Esme in on this meeting. I just hope she believes me.

"What is this meeting about?" Esme asks.

"Mom, you need to sit down for this. I just saw Rose meeting up with Jacob Black. They are trying to get all of the information on Bella that they can so they can sell it to the Volturi. They are gonna try and betray us."

Before I knew what was going on, Esme and Carlisle dropped into protective crouches and snarled out "Over our dead bodies". Damn, I wasn't expecting that.

"What do we need to do?" Jazz asked.

"I'll call Billy and Chief, enlighten them on what's going down. Esme, call Eleazar and Carmen to inform them. The rest of you, plant false information and see what they do. No one will hurt her." Carlisle sneered.

"You got that shit right Pops!" Em snarled while cracking his knuckles.

BPOV

Something is definitely wrong with me. I have this pull in my chest. It's like a compass almost, I just don't know where it will lead me and frankly, I'm afraid to find out. I really need to get the grill going for tonight. Apparently, we are having a barbecue and inviting the Cullens, Denalis, and the elders from the rez. Some pow wow we got going on here.

As I'm lighting the grill, my dad walks over to me, keeping a bit of distance from the fire that is starting to warm up the grill. I've never seen him like this. Hovering. Something's wrong.

"Um, sweet pea...I need to tell you something. I want you to listen and please hear me out before you judge. Then you can ask all the questions you want to. Ok?" he asks while shuffling from foot to foot.

"Sure dad what's up?" I ask trying to lighten the mood.

"Well, I'm not sure how to start this off. You see, I'm sure you noticed that I'm a bit...different from others in town."

I raise an eyebrow asking just exactly what he's talking about.

"I'm not the only one with gold colored eyes here, which I'm sure you noticed. Not to mention that I'm really cold to the touch."

"Yeah, but you've always had bad circulation. Mom told me." I stated, my brow furrowing in confusion.

"What she didn't tell you is that...I'm...um..a...vvmmmpire.."

"What? Dad I couldn't understand you." It sounded like he said...

"I'm a vampire, and I'm not the only one." Yep, time to lock me up in the looney bin so I can bounce of the rubber walls.

"Dad, that's not funny." I state turning back to the grill only to meet my father's chest.

"Let me prove it." he states as he disappears right before my eyes only to reappear a few seconds later. "I'm really fast." He runs over to a tree and pulls it out of the ground. Now this isn't a sapling, this tree is fully grown and stands in front of my bedroom window. "I'm really strong." He runs back up to me, takes my hand and places it on his neck where there is no pulse. "I don't have a heart beat." Then he slowly backs away from me.

"The Cullens?" I ask.

"Are as well." he finishes.

"Mom?" I ask.

"Is human. I didn't know she was pregnant with you when she took off. I didn't know it was possible. We all thought you'd be human as well, which you are, but now we aren't so sure. I heard your thoughts earlier today which means that you, sweet pea, are special. There are some amongst us that want to hurt you, but we won't let that happen. You need to be careful who you tell your secrets to. I'm sure you'll figure out who is trustworthy." he states. "You will find out more when the others..."

"Have arrived!" Alice squealed running up to me at vampire speed. "I'm so sorry Bella. I never meant to hurt you. Can you please forgive me?" she asked.

I couldn't help but chuckle. "Something tells me we're gonna be great friends." I throw back at her causing her to pick me up and turn around in circles.

"Jesus Alice, put the poor girl down before you break her. I'm Rosalie." the blonde glamazon states. Looking her over, she has the golden eyes, but there is something in them that tells me not to trust her as far as I can throw her...which isn't very far.

I look over to dad and tell him that she's not to be trusted...at all. She rubs me the wrong way. He nods his head and looks over to Edward, cocking his brow. Edward gives him a nod which tells me he heard me as well. I decide to try out my ability and project my thoughts of Rose to the rest of the family. They all give me a quick nod letting me know they all heard me.

As I was putting the meat on the grill, I heard what sounded like a bunch of wild elephants running toward us. What the fuck is that noise? I wondered. Just as I was getting ready to ask, a bunch of huge ass dogs ran out from the woods causing me to scream. Before I could run away, Edward grabbed me around my waist.

"Ssh, it's ok. They won't hurt you. See?" he whispered in my ear and slowly turned me around to see them changing into their human forms and pulling on shorts to cover their naked bodies. "They are shape shifters and they are here to help us protect you." he continued. Looking into my eyes, he stated in my mind, "don't trust Jake". I gave him a nod and turned back to the grill like that didn't just happen.

"Bella, I'd like you to meet Billy Black." dad stated as he brought over an older Native American man in a wheel chair.

"Hey." I state while shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you."

"Same. This here to my right is Harry Clearwater and his wife Sue." Billy gestured with a nod of his head.

"Hello dear. It's wonderful to finally meet you." Sue stated as she gave me a hug. When she stepped away, Harry shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you as well." I stated.

"Can I help you with anything?" Sue asked. Esme coming up beside her waiting eagerly to help out.

"Sure, the sides are in the house. You ladies could bring them out as well as the plates and silverware. I'll just take this meat off and we'll be ready to eat."

As I turned to take the meat off the grill, Edward was standing beside me sheepishly holding the platter full of meat with a boyish smile on his face. "It was going to burn." he stated as he went over and placed the platter on the picnic table.

"Thank you." I stated honestly. It was like he read my mind...wait, he probably did. He chuckled which gave me my answer.

Once everyone helped themselves to a heaping plate, we all got situated. I just couldn't take it anymore. It was driving me bat shit crazy, I couldn't hold my tongue anymore.

"Ok, who wants to tell me what the hell is happening to me?" I asked as everyone's jaws dropped.
