Bella's Pov

"No!" I screamed trying with all my might to stretch my sheild to him but nothing worked. Edward's eyes, still full of pain searched the room until he found me. That did it. "Father stop!" Aro did not listen to me, he just watched as Edward squirmed in pain. Not a sound escaped his lips. "Please!"

No answer. Furious and full of worry I tore away from Dementri and Felix. But they just grabbed me again. With almost all my hope gone I tried again to stretch my sheild. When Edward looked at me again I was suddenly able to feel the shield. I threw it out towards him and felt it wrap around his body.

In a single second he stopped squirming and just layed there motionless panting. Jane gasped and Aro sighed. "Take Bella out of the room so we can finish this."

"No! Please father!" I cried. Edward stood up and dashed to my side but Dementri and Felix backed up. Edward snarled. I was so furious at them, that I bit into Felix's wrist. He yelped and dropped me giving me enough time to dash to Edward's side. I hugged him tightly.

"Bella, this has to be done. You'll find another mate." Aro sighed again.

Short Edward's Pov

Wait what? Bella thinks of me as a mate? My dead heart swelled with joy but I was too worried about what might happen to Bella to show any happiness on my face.

"No I won't! I love Edward!" I yelled back at him and then snuggled closer to him. Aro froze.

"What did you just say?" He breathed and I took in the shock on his face.

"I love him. I love Edward!" I growled tightening my grip on him so it would be deadly on any human.

"Bella you only met him 5 minutes ago. That's not long enough to fall in love." Aro tried to reason with me but I snarled. Edward kissed my cheek at that exact moment.

"I love you to Bella." He whispered and I grinned.

"I told you the bond was strong." Marcus muttered. It seemed no one had noticed him return. I grinned at him and he grinned back. Marcus had always been like a real father to me. He never pushed anything that he knew would make me unhappy.

"Please Father. Spare him. If not for me than for Carlisle. I'm sure he'll want to see his son." I pleaded. Aro hesitated and then nodded slowly.

"I'll invite Carlisle over then. I have heard that his coven has grown recently. He might not want another, and if he doesn't, well than we shall continue where we left off."

I nodded and then pulled Edward from the room. "I'll show him around!" I called over my shoulder. I could hear Marcus laughing, Ciaus cursing and Jane growling but there was no sound from Aro.

Edward's Pov

'his coven has grown recently.' Aro's words kept ringing through my head. Pictures danced through my memory at the word coven. It was like a slide show. First I saw me and Carlisle standing over Esme as she changed, I was patting his back soothingly as Esme screamed in pain. Then there was all three of us hunting in the woods, my eyes the same golden as there's, then I was growling at Carlisle for changing another female. Rosalie Hale to be exact as she screamed in pain as well. Then I saw Rosalie running towards us with a huge bloody mass in her arms. Emmett I realized. Then I saw a small pixie like girl running up to hug me and intorduce herself as Alice, and then last but not least I remember a tall blonde boy behind Alice laugh. Jasper.

I followed Bella in a daze. The words 'my family' pounded in my ears. But why couldn't I remember any of them. Well except Esme. This is very confusing.

Suddenly Bella pulled me into a huge room with a large piano in the middle. My eyes brightened when I saw the piano and I ran to it quicker than ever before. When the wind hit my face another memory floted to me. I was the fastest in my family.

Bella sat next to me at the piano and waited.

I grinned at her and then started playing a tune that had just entered my head. With a jolt I realized it was Esme's favorite. Bella closed her eyes and swayed with the music as I played.

"Do you like it?" I asked not even having to look at the keys as I played. She sighed and nodded.

"It's beautifull."

"Bella, I think I can remember who I am." I whispered. Bella opened her eyes and looked at me confused. "I'm a vampire, right?"

"Yes." She answered quickly a grin lightling up her face. "Hold on, are you the infamous Edward that Alice had wanted to set me up with 5 years ago?"

"Probably. I just can't remember how I lost my memory. A little help?" I pleaded. She giggled and then sighed.

"Well, all I know is that Alice had forced you to travel to Italy with her and then you met a few nomads. Alice said that one of them had a gift to erase memories, but since hers had already been erased one it didn't effect her just blinded her long enough for you to wander off."

"You know Alice?" I grinned.

"She's my best friend. If it wasn't for the fact that she visited when I was created I'd have red eyes like everyone else." She grimaced and I laughed.

"So I could have met you 5 years ago instead of roaming the world and blanking out everytime I hunted? That just seems unfair. You would have been much better then going to heaven." I whispered. Bella grinned.

"I could say the same about you."

"Hmmmmm." Was all I said before pressing my lips to hers. She responded right away, kissing me back hungrily. Her hand wound into my hair and my arms wrapped around her waiste. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice ran in with the rest of the Cullens following her.

"EDWARD! WE THOUGHT WE'D LOST YOU!" She screamed appearing not to notice the fact that Bella and myself had jumped apart when they ran in.

"ALICE!" I hugged her tightly spinning her around in a cirlce.

"He remembers?" Esme whispered but a grin lit up her face.

"ESME!" I hugged her next not letting go of Alice and then pulled Rosalie into a hug as well. "ROSE!"

"I'll say." Emmett laughed. "Not going to yell the our names?"

"EMMETT, JASPER CARLISLE!" I yelled hugging them as well. This just made everyone laugh.

"It's good to have you back man. A little to private in the house." Jasper smirked.

"I can fix that easily." I grinned and then swept their minds. "Emmett wants to wrestle, Alice is pondering why Bella was in here with me, Esme is filled with joy, Rosalie is trying to hide her reliefe, Carlisle is relieved as well, and you are laughing."

Jasper laughed out loud then and was quickly joined by everyone else. "Welcome back Ed." Emmett clapped a hand to my shoulder.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Alice yelled crossing her arms over each other three times as if trying to say time out. "I want some answers!"

"Of course dear sister." I chuckled. "What would you like to know?"

"What happened right before we came in? And tell the truth." Alice glared at me and I laughed out loud, to happy to even care if they knew that I was in love.

"Not a hard question to answer Alice." I teased and then ran to Bella. I kissed her so passionatly I heard my brothers whoop behind us. Alice squealed, Rosalie let out a small awww, Carlisle grinned proudly, and Esme was filled witheven more joy.

"I was right! I was right! I was right!" Alice squealed. "I knew he would fall for Bella as soon as he layed eyes on her!"

"Yes Alice. You were right, and I am very sorry for doubting you." I grinned mockingly and she stuck her tongue out at me. Bella was panting a little after that kiss and I grinned wider. It seemed I had a similar effect on her like she had on me. This was going to be interesting. I wonder what Aro would think when he knew that I remembered.

Curious I searched for his thoughts and found them right away. 'Bella can't fall in love with a Cullen! They have enough power without hers! Sooner or later we'll have to take the whole coven down!' I grounded my teeth together.

"I'm to happy with Aro right now." I growled as he started to plan.
