JPOV

Taking a deep breath, I slowly turned around and was face to face with Bella. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?" I kept my voice calm, but anger started to build up inside of me, although I only had peaceful intentions.

"Where are you going?" Her voice was still as low, but it was still the sweetest sound I had ever heard.

"I was going to wait for you in a clearing." I kept my voice calm, but the anger was about to push me over the edge.

She tilted her head and smirked. God she was beautiful. "I thought you were going to stay with me." Her anger level lowered until it was sadness.

I felt so much better now that she was not angry, although now I had the sorrow that was making me feel her pain. I couldn't feel any anger, so I took a risk. I pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry. I just didn't want to startle you while you fed."

"But you left…" Her voice was a little squeak.

I backed up and looked at her. Her clothes were torn up, and blood stained the front of her shirt. There was a few drops on her chin which I wiped off with my thumb. "Let's get you home. If you are still hungry, we can get Emmet to hunt for you." I scanned her eyes. They were a lighter red, but still too dark for my liking. "And we can get you a change of clothes."

"Are you mad?"

"Of course not. I startled you, that is all. I shouldn't have left while you were still feeding, I'm sorry." I held out my arm again for her to take it.

Linking our arms together, Bella nodded. "Oh…okay. Do you think Emmet would mind?" We started to walk slowly, and I tried to think weather or not to tell her about the talk with Carlisle. I didn't want her to feel trapped into it, but I didn't want to scare her when I told her. I suppose I could tell her later, so I didn't want to scare her anymore than necessary.

"Emmet wont mind. He loves to hunt. He would hunt all day and night if he could." I chuckled softly and then noticed we were already at the house.

"How long is this going to last?" Bella stuck her heals in the ground and looked at me with wet eyes.

"What last, Bells?" It was the first time I had called her Bells, it came out accidentally, and I bit my lip as a massive wave of love generated from myself.

"My eyes. I want them to be golden like all of yours. I don't want to have the eyes of a killer." She looked at me for a second more, then turned away.

Shocked, I just stood there. When did she see her eyes? I had to know. "Bella, how do you know your eyes are red?"

Keeping her head away from me, she quickly started to talk. "When I took down the buck, there was a small puddle next to him. I caught a glance of my face in it, and I saw the red."

"Bella, it shouldn't last for too long, no longer than a year. Your blood will remain in your tissue until then. That is why you will be at your strongest until then. But don't worry about it. We all went through it." I tried to give her calming waves, but I wasn't sure if I could give her enough.

"Okay." I could feel her frantic emotions subside to calm, but I didn't know if it was because of my calming waves, or herself calming down.

"Lets go. Mom and Dad will want to talk to you." We started to walk again, and the moment we walked through the door, I was hit with all of the emotions of my remaining family.

Rosalie was jealous. A quick glance at Bella showed me why. She didn't feel like she was the most attractive one in the house anymore, and she hated that.

Esme was filled with pride. She was always proud of us, and she kept looking back and forth between Bella and me. I then wished that I could read her mind; why was she looking at the two of us?

Carlisle was excited. From our earlier conversation, I knew that he wanted to know everything about Bella's possible talent.

Emmet was confused. His eyes were locked on me, and he was glaring slightly.

Bella was fighting her instincts. She saw so many vampires, and especially with Emmet there, she wanted to run, knowing she would loose a fight. She clutched my arm tighter, and I had to hold back a wince of pain. She was much stronger than I was, and she was almost using all of her strength.

"Bella!" Even though Rosalie was jealous, she still was proud that Bella was her sister. Sadly, she was pretty stupid when it came to Newborns. She darted over to Bella and hugged her, and that was the breaking point for Bella.

Poor Bella had been doing so well until this point. She couldn't handle it. Everything happened in slow motion.

Bella tensed, and then dropped under Rosalie's grasp, and kicked her legs out from under her. She landed on top of Rosalie, knees on her stomach, and growled at her, fingers clawing her shoulders.

Esme and Carlisle pulled Bella off of Rosalie and struggled to hold her back, which didn't help. Bella felt threatened, and pulled out of their grasps, turning around to growl at them and fall into a defensive crouch.

Emmet quickly pulled Rosalie off the ground and stood her up, standing in front of her protectively, holding her thigh as he watched Bella for her next move.

Bella's flight instinct took over and she slowly started to back away, but they all blocked her exits, so she backed into a corner. As they all looked on, her fear rose and her chest was heaving as she panted with the fear.

"Guys, stop it." I slowly turned and growled at them. "Everyone stand up straight and look harmless. Emmet, you and Rosalie need to slowly leave the room. Rosalie, I will talk to you later." I slowly turned back towards Bella and pumped her full of calm, praying it would work.

"She attacked Rose." Emmet's voice was a low growl, and a quick glance at him showed me that his eyes were pure black with anger.

"Emmet, I screwed up. You will regret it if you do anything. Please, just stand up. I'm fine, she never hurt me." Rosalie gently rubbed Emmet's back and tried to sooth him enough to get him to stand up.

Turning to look her over, Emmet slowly stood up. The moment that all of us were standing up and looking almost vulnerable, Bella fell out of her defensive crouch and sat on the floor cross legged. She took a deep breath and her eyes fell to the floor. "I did it again, didn't I?" Her perfect voice was filled with sorrow, and she wouldn't meet our gaze.

"Bella, it was my fault. I should know better then to run over to you. I'm sorry." Rosalie explained and very slowly walked towards Bella. "Do you forgive me?" She reached her hand out towards her, but Emmet quickly pulled it back.

"Don't" He muttered to Rosalie.

Bella put her head in her hands and let out a shaky breath.

Rosalie turned around and glared at Emmet. "She is my sister. She is your sister. You don't remember how hard this was for you, do you? At least she has the restraint to not hurt any of us! She has tackled you and myself, but that was because we were fucking stupid and messed up. You ripped off Jasper's had when you got here. Give her a fucking break!" Her voice rose slightly out of anger.

"Rose, you don't understand what you are saying. She could have really hurt you." His voice was hard, and yet laced with love.

"But she didn't! You hurt many of us, and it took Jasper weeks to heal after you destroyed his hand! If you are going to be a fucking over protective ass, then that is your problem. But that beautiful vampire over in the corner crying is my sister, and I love her. Just like I love Alice and Esme. She is family. I love you Emmet, but you need to learn to look with your heart, not with your eyes."

With that, she turned and very slowly approached Bella, and squatted down. She opened her arms and looked at Bella. "I'm sorry."

Lifting her head, Bella looked at Rosalie, tears brimming her eyes that would never fall. She pulled Rosalie into a tight hug, but not so tight that it could hurt her. "No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it, you just scared me. I was going to run, but when you did that, all I could think was attack. I'm so sorry!" She dry cried into Rosalie's shoulder.

"It is okay, I'm fine. We are all okay." Rosalie gently started to pet Bella's hair and glared at Emmet, who had taken a few steps back after what his mate had said to him.

"Come on. We need to all sit down and talk about Bella's talent. We just all need to calm down and work on this. Please." I pinched the bridge of my nose and took a few deep breaths.

Bella and Rosalie nodded and then got up and walked over to the couch and sat down next to each other, but kept a decent amount of space between them.

Emmet sat down next to Rosalie and dipped his head. "Rose-" He started, but she cut him off.

"I'm in no mood." Her voice was harsh, and she looked at me.

Carlisle and Esme hadn't said a word, and they were still silent as they sat on the floor next to each other, Carlisle's gaze locked on me, Esme's on Bella.

I hated to see Emmet and Rosalie like that, so I pulled away as much of Rosalie's anger as I could and replaced it with love of Emmet.

Rosalie glared at me but sighed. "Thanks." She sighed again and curled up against Emmet, who was suddenly confused. "I love you, you stupid ass." She giggled and closed her eyes in happiness.

Emmet picked her up and pulled her onto his lap and she curled into his chest, both of them purring softly.

"Enough of that." Carlisle sighed and looked at me. "What do you know about the talent?"

"Well I don't know exactly. I think that she is able to make you feel the emotions that she feels towards you." That was the only reasoning for it all.

Carlisle's face lightened up, and he smiled brightly at Bella. "We will have to test that on a later date."

Nodding, I sighed. "Would one of you be able to catch some food for Bella. She needs to get changed, and become more accustomed to all of you."

Smiling, Esme got to her feet. "Of course! We were on our way out anyway. We will get you something sweetie." She smiled at Bella and then looked at Carlisle. He nodded, and they very slowly left the house.

Sighing, I looked at Rosalie and Emmet. "Guys, I know you probably want to be alone but…"

Emmet and Rosalie looked at me and smiled. "We understand." Rosalie quickly said and smiled at Bella.

"I need to make it up to my little sister somehow." Emmet smiled brightly and looked at me quickly. "I will be careful."

Bella smiled even brighter. "Thank you, Emmet." She was extremely happy about that. I saw that she kept sniffing the air softly, and I was sure that she was memorizing all of our scents.

I took a soft sniff and I caught her scent. She smelled of strawberries, and it was a very sweet smell. Getting to my feet, I started to walk up the stairs. It pained me to walk so slowly, because I wanted to be alone, but I couldn't frighten Bella.

Finally, I arrived at the door to my room and I took a deep breath. Slowly, I opened the door to the room that used to belong to me and the most perfect woman in the world; Alice. Taking a step in, I closed the door.

Our room was one of the smaller rooms, just because we didn't want to have a large flashy room.

Looking around, I saw our queen sized bed, which had a red comforter on it, and dark brown headboard. Next to the bed was a large chair that faced towards the window. Walking over towards it, I sat down and looked out the window to our back yard.

Closing my eyes, I breathed in the fading scent of my love, my mate, Alice. I would no longer see her, and I could no longer hug her. Blocking out everyone else's emotions, I tried to focus only on the pain that was filling my undead heart. The pain was the only reminder that she was real, that she was once part of me. And that I was now alone.
