Chapter 4

Carlisle looks at Bella. He did it; he managed to turn her before she died. It was too close of a call for him. He doesn't understand how Edward did not stop, that he did not want to stop. They are mates, right? Edward was so enchanted by her, especially since he couldn't read her mind. She was a closed book to him, and he wanted to figure her out so bad. He even wanted to leave so he could save her humanity. Carlisle looks down at Bella again. She looks so peaceful. He can tell that she will be beautiful, so strong. She has not even once screamed from the pain he knew all too well. He doesn't know what she heard from Jasper, and if she believes she and Edward are still mates. Carlisle hopes so. If he is correct, Bella will be a powerful vampire. She and Edward would be powerful just with the two, enough to take on the Voluri. Aro will certainly want the pair. He cannot allow that to happen, not ever.

"You will be fine Bella. You and Edward will work this out. You have to work this out. For the good of the family" said Carlisle.

Carlisle hears Esme enter.

"Why could Edward not stop? If they are mates, he would not have wanted to hurt her. Are you certain they are mates Carlisle?" Esme asked.

She didn't understand what was going on. She loved Bella, she reminded her of the son she lost while human. Bella gives her hope for the future. Hope that they can all be happy together and be the family she has always wanted. She does just want Bella to be happy though, whether Edward is her mate or not. She too, looks down to Bella. She thinks the same thing as Carlisle. Bella will be beautiful and she will be stronger. Her daughter has always remained strong, no matter the situation. She hopes her future looks bright and happy. Esme hopes that if Carlisle is wrong, and they are not mates, he will let Bella live her own life. She hopes that it would just be a misunderstanding on his part.

"It seems Edward had a little bit of blood lust. Her blood proved to be too strong for him. No worries Esme, he is hunting in the woods now. Bella will be fine, and they can work this out. I'm certain they have to be mates, and time will tell once she wakes up. Mates do feel an instant connection. Not quite love at first site, but they do recognize the other and are bonded once eyes lock. Everyone will see when she wakes up, they have to be mates:" Carlisle said.

Esme just looks at him and shakes her head. She isn't so certain of that, and she will make sure Bella is not forced to be with someone she does not want. Not like her.

Meanwhile down stairs:

Emmett and Jasper are back. Jasper goes upstairs to join Alice in her room. All bedrooms are sound proofed due to the incredible hearing they all have. Jasper walks in and see's Alice.

"What are we going to do", Jasper asks. "We both knew that Edward and Bella were mates. Bella will find out, and she will be angry."

"I don't know Jasper," Alice replied. "We will have to think about this and watch to see what does happen to know where we stand."

Edward had decided to stay out in the forest a little longer. He wanted her blood, so badly. He knew they were not mates. They never felt even a little bit of a connection, even human, they should have felt something. The craving for her blood was too much to pass up. He does love Bella in his own twisted way. Edward doesn't want to let her go, and he won't let her go. Bella has been his from the very beginning, that won't change. She will remain compliant Bella, even as a vampire.

Edward is still in the woods, probably to mop and groan, she has no doubt about it. Rosalie has never understood what Bella saw in Edward. All she has seen out of the man is arrogance, controlling, and him being down right manipulative. It reminds Rosalie too much of Royce and the horror she went through when she was human. She tried to keep distance from Bella, only so she could be the outside eye looking in, to see if Edward would show any signs of abuse.

Rosalie had nothing against Bella, well maybe one thing. That she was wasting herself on Edward. Regardless of what others think, she really doesn't care that she is a vampire. It brought her Emmett, and he brought her happiness and love. Rosalie cares for Bella and hopes that once Bella is one of them, they can become friends. She never believed Bella and Edward were mates. He was far too possessive, almost like he didn't want to waste her blood. Carlisle is naive and would believe anything Edward said, would do anything Edward said. She is curious to see how things will change once Bella awakens.

Emmett walks over to Rosalie.

"Hey babe, how is she" Emmett asks.

Emmett loved his Bella bear. He never felt too close to Alice, she was just always interested in things he was not. Bella is so awkward and fun to be around. She even tried to play video games with him, even if she never won. Emmett hopes she will be tougher against Edward once she wakes up. He heard what Jasper had said. Bella and Edward were not mates, but why keep that a secret? No matter what, he and Rosie are here to protect Bella. He isn't quite sure what Jasper or Alice's role in this is, but he will find out. No one will hurt Bella, he will make sure of it. Emmett looks over at Rosalie. He knows she is worried about Bella. She was never fooled they were mates. He hopes they will find a friendship like Rosalie has never had.

"She is quiet" Rosalie replied. "I know she is strong, but she is so quiet. She had to have heard the conversation while changing. I wonder if her mind is whirling right now. What could she possibly be thinking? We have to be here for her when she wakes up Emmett. I have a feeling some things aren't quite right with Carlisle and Edward. I am not certain about Alice and Jasper yet though but they have been too quiet, then of course Jasper and Carlisle's conversation earlier. I'm glad you broke down the door so we all could hear it."

"We will watch over her Rosie, she will forgive you for pushing her away" Emmett said.

They both agree quietly to watch over Carlisle and Edward. To make sure they do not force Bella to be with him. They also wonder together, if Edward isn't Bella's mate, who is?

A/N

I am not quite sure if I will make Jasper and Alice deeply involved with Edwards plans or not. That part is still up in the air. I would love your opinions on that. Alice kind of got on my nerves but I do like Jasper and Peter. Carlisle is not 'bad' in this story but he will not be liked. What kind of leader lets one man in the coven control everyone. He is the coven leader, not Edward. That drove me crazy. I am NOT an Edward fan. If you are, you may not want to read this. I don't put him in a very good light. I loved Rosalie in the books. She will never be anything but awesome in my stories. Bella will probably not wake up next chapter, probably the one after. Hope you all enjoy! Please review! Thanks!
