EMG78: sorry that I didn't mention this before. Bella's coven is living behind the same woods that Bella's house used to be near.

Kaori: Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm sorry for all the new characters, but I totally understand. That's why I try to use their names a lot at first so I don't forget. That's also why I made twins, so I didn't have to remember an extra face. Actually, Bella's not gonna kick Edward's butt. But that doesn't mean he won't get what's coming to him. Don't wanna give too much away. (LOLz)

Shy: Lolz. I laughed when I read ur review. It just was funny 2 me. And this takes place right after New Moon.

B POV

I almost died when he called my name.

Don't let him get to you. I told myself.

"I'm sorry, who?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Bella, is it really you?" Edward continued.

"I think you have the wrong girl. My name is Isabella. You are?"

"You don't remember?"

"Is, I think he's a bit confused," Kareyna said, trying to cover for me, "And I'm sorry to interrupt, but we kinda have to go."

"See ya around." I said, mentally hoping for exactly the opposite.

"If they're lucky." Jason muttered, causing us all to snicker.

I turned to follow the others out. Before I had taken three steps, Edward grabbed my arm.

"Bella, wait."

K POV

My head whipped back around to see Edward's grip on Bella. with one hiss I had the others blocking her in seconds. The Cullens stumbled a couple steps back. I somersaulted over my family's heads, and landed facing the Cullens. I glared at all of them.

"Jay. Kenz. Take her. Get her home, now."

Only seconds later, I heard Bella's BMW speeding out of the lot.

"It's time for us to go." I said. Without ever looking away from the Cullens, I slowly backed away. Once outside, I yelled for Bryan's keys. Soon, I was racing down the road, I was blind with anger. I didn't even realize we were home until I almost crashed into the garage.

I jumped out and ran as quickly as possible to Bella's room. She was laying in Jason's arms. On her other side was Makenzie. I sat at the foot of the bed, watching Bella dry sob. It was hours before she calmed down enough to sleep.

"Watch her." I said, "I'll be back."

"Where are you going?" Jason asked.

"I need to take a walk."

There was a murderous look in my eyes as I left the house. All that was on my mind was to take care of Bella. I roamed around, taking in deep breaths. I was searching for any trace of the Cullens' scent. When I finally caught something, I followed it; sprinting as if I could lose it at any moment. And I did a few times. I had to stop more than once to pick the scent back up. Within the next ten minutes I had found the Cullen mansion. Without thinking, I walked up the steps and kicked down the door. I followed the scent into a room full of vampires. I ignored all of them except for Edward.

I was walking towards him when I felt myself unable to move. I was being held back, but I barely noticed. I still attempted to lunge at Edward.

"How could you do this to her?! How could you come back?! And even if you had to, couldn't you have just left her alone?! She's moved on, so just let her be!"

"Kareyna, stop."

I looked to the voice. Jordan was one of the two people holding me down. The other was Jason.

"What are you two doing here?" I asked.

"Stopping you from doing something you'll regret." Jason said.

"You left them alone?!"

"Bella's on it." Jordan said.

"What were you guys thinking? Bella is in no condition to be guarding anyone. And the twins --- ugh. Just come on."

I pushed Jason and Jordan to the door. Before leaving, I turned to give a final warning.

"Leave Bella alone. You left her, and we had to put her back together. You have no idea what you left her to, or, rather, who you left her to. If you disturb her with so much as a creepy look, I will not hesitate to snap your necks." I looked down at the broken door, "I'll pay for that if you need me to."

Jordan pulled me along.

"Ay dios mio. I wasn't gonna kill him." I said.

"Sure you weren't."

After that we rushed back to the house. I scolded Jordan and Jason for leaving the house. After they explained to the others where I went, Bella had a fit.

B POV

"What?! You almost what?!"

"Chill, Bella. They're over exaggerating."

"Over exaggerating?" the boys asked in unison, "Jordan, tell them about the door."

"She kicked it down. It flew right off the hinges."

"Esme's probably furious. She takes such good care of the house."

"Don't worry. I offered to pay for it. I'll bring the money to school tomorrow."

Money was never a problem for us. Ever since we escaped, Kareyna's family had been taking care of us. Generation after generation had been trained to keep our secret hidden. Her family was loaded. They paid our bills, and gave us millions of dollars each year. Our money accumulates after so long, so we had plenty of it. But it was always good to have a back up since none of us has worked a day in our vampiric lives.

"What are you so worried about them for anyways?" Kareyna asked.

I stayed shut. They weren't going to like my answer.

"Aw. Don't tell me you're forgiving them. Bel-la."

"Just a little bit. I mean, it's just the memory of how kind they used to be."

"Some memories are meant to be forgotten."

"I'm tires. I just want to sleep on it."

"Fine. Everybody go to your rooms." Kareyna instructed.

"Sure thing, mom."

"Don't back talk me, Bryan."

That was my kooky family.

K POV

"That was refreshing." I said.

We had just returned from our annual trip to the Republic. We had spent the weekend there. On the way back, we had stopped in New York and did a little shopping. And when I say a little, I mean a lot. We'd missed a couple days of school. Three to be exact. Normally we wouldn't stay so long for fear of endangering our families, but everyone agreed that we all needed a small vacation.

Yesterday was beautiful. During our vacation, Bella had gotten over her sudden insanity and decided not to forgive the Cullens. She had come to school in tight leather pants, black stilettos, and a black leather halter. Her hair was curly, and she was drowned in dark lip gloss. If the boys at Forks high hadn't wanted her before, they definitely did now. And she had Jason all over her. They were always kissing, or holding hands. It was clear that the Cullens were fuming. Especially Edward. It made me laugh to watch him watching them in the cafeteria. and gym was brutal for them. We had been teamed up for basketball. Us against them. We fouled them on purpose, and then crushed them in the game. Annoying the Cullens was fun. And Bella looked like she had been enjoying it.

That's why I don't understand what was going on today. She had dressed to kill. She had on a short, like blue denim skirt, a red spaghetti strap top, and red strappies with two inch heels. Yet she wasn't as enthusiastic about operation "take the Cullens down" as before. I think the sad look on the pixie's face had gotten to her.

We were sitting in the cafeteria. Bella was late. She had told Jordan she was making a quick stop at a class. I didn't believe her for one second. She had been faltering. Though she said she wouldn't, o could tell she was willing to let most of those bloodsuckers back into her life.

I looked over at the Cullen table. Two were missing --- the big one and the pixie girl.

"I knew it." I said, "I'll be right back."

I rose from the table and went into the halls. I followed Bella's scent outside. I saw her near the parking lot. The vampires had her cornered. I was blocking them from her in seconds.

"What are you two doing? I do recall saying that you were all to stay away."

"Kareyna, it's okay."

"No, Bella. It's not. You can't honestly tell me that after everything you're going to let them into your life again."

"Bella, you have to believe that we never wanted to leave you. He made us. He wouldn't even let us say goodbye." Alice said.

"Does he own you or something? That's why God gave you free will."

"Back off, Shorty." The big one said.

"Make me."

"Kareyna, stop!"

"She is the only thing stopping me from ripping your head off right now."

"Kareyna!"

"Alright. Alright."

"Bella, we want to meet with you tonight. Carlisle want all of you to some." The pixie girl said.

Once she said that, my family stepped out of the shadows.

"Can we? Please, Kareyna?" Bella begged.

I looked around at the others. They all looked okay with it. Bella's eyes pleaded with me.

"Fine. We'll be there at six.

"Actually, Carlisle would prefer it if you could follow us straight from school."

"I guess that would be okay."

"Good. Bye Bella."

"See ya."

B POV

I had avoided looking at Kareyna since the little meeting at lunch. I knew she was disappointed in me. We were on our way to the Cullens' house. The twins and Bryan were in one car. Jason, Kareyna, and I had ridden with Jordan.

Kareyna was in the passenger seat. She hadn't spoken to me since lunch. I was afraid of what she might say or do when we got there. I had to talk to her before we went inside. We got out of the car. Before we reached the steps, I pulled Kareyna to the side.

"K, I'm ---"

"Don't. Bella, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at them. I'm scared for you. I don't want to see you hurt, and all these people ever seem to cause you is pain. If it's that important to you, I'll behave."

I threw my arms around her. She hugged me back.

"I thought you were mad at me."

"No way." She reassured me, "But they aren't allowed to touch you. Not even a hug. And I know they can hear me, so they better not make any mistakes."

"K." Bella groaned.

"Sorry. It's a habit."

"Come on."

I lightly nudged her arm. The others were waiting for us. I hooked my arm through Kareyna's and Jason's, and proceeded. When we got to the door, Jason moved his arm to around my shoulder. I released Kareyna and lightly knocked on the door. Carlisle answered.

"Hello, Bella. Long time no see."

"Nice to see you, too, Carlisle."

"Please, come in."

Carlisle stepped aside so we could all pass. Then, he guided us to the den. Here we go.
