Time for things to get interesting :) I hope you enjoy. From here on out things will be in Bella's POV, unless I change my mind. I'll remind you every chapter anyway, lol.

Standard disclaimers apply. But one day I shall own something that makes lots of money and people will be writing "Standard disclaimers apply" for something I wrote. Not really. Just fantacising.

Chapter 3: This Family

BPOV

Today was the fourth anniversary of me becoming one of them; a vampire. Carlisle was pleasantly surprised at how well I adapted to being around humans, so after my second year of my new life I started Dartmouth College with my new family.

I was going into my third year of college. I decided to go for a degree in Literature. Edward thought it suited me and Jasper enjoyed the in depth discussions we had about books. He wasn't about to complain.

We wanted to go on a tour of Europe for summer break, but Alice had a vision and it was decided that we needed to stay in New Hampshire. In her vision she saw visitors coming to see us and it had to do with something vastly important. She just didn't know what. Better safe than sorry. At least that's what Alice told us.

Today was that day.

Two figures approached our house at vampire speed. Once I got a good look I got the feeling that they were rather panicked. They were definitely the important people Alice saw coming. I'd never seen them before, but I knew that they weren't my kind of vampire. I saw their scarlet eyes against the pallor of their faces.

"Maia, Domenic, what brings you here? Maybe a little shopping?" Alice asked hopefully. I saw Edward shake his head at her, almost as if something was wrong. Was there something wrong?

The dark haired vampire spoke first. "Sorry to come in a hurry like this."

"Yes, it's very pressing." The blonde girl was pretty, especially for a vampire, but not as beautiful as Rosalie. Her long hair whipped around her delicate face. She looked to me. "Oh, you must be Bella. We haven't met. I'm Maia and this is my mate Domenic."

I nodded my head at her. I just wanted to know what this "pressing matter" was. Becoming a vampire hadn't granted me any more patience than being a human ever had.

What drove me even more insane was that Edward wasn't telling Alice and me their thoughts. They couldn't have reason to block him. That, or the pressing matter was so pressing that their thoughts were all scattered about and he couldn't tell what was going on. I'd have to ask later.

Suddenly Domenic pulled out a stack of three novels, all a fair bit thick.

"What are those about?" I asked. They couldn't have come all this way to give us some books, no matter how much my family enjoyed them. If they were, they were most definitely crazy.

Domenic looked at me with anxiety. "They're about you. In your point of view, nonetheless. They even have the Denali Coven, the Volturi, the werewolves, everything." He handed the books to Alice.

She immediately started slipping through the pages. After what seemed like forever she stopped turning the pages. "This is word for word what we've said and done when we were in Forks. I can't believe it. How did we not know about these?" Alice looked to Edward.

"Alice, we moved right before these books started coming out. No one will find us. Almost all our graduating class in Forks moved out." He was rationalizing. That, and editing.

"Edward, this third one mentions Dartmouth. And next month a fourth book is coming out. It has the wedding in it. At least it should. It'll point to all the places we've been. We'll be found out."

"Then we'll move." It wasn't going to be debated.

"That might work for us, but what about the Denali Coven? Or the Volturi? We'd have to change our names, dye our hair, split up! We can't do that! We're a family!"

With Alice's outburst came the rest of our family from the quietness of the indoors. None of them looked especially happy.

"Alice dear, why would we be changing our names?" Esme's lips went down slightly at the corners.

Maia stepped up. "Esme, I'm so sorry we've disturbed your family this way. It's just…these books. They've exploited your family and vampires. Domenic and I came to warn you." Her eyes were downcast. She really must have felt bad for telling us this.

"How can this be? We've hidden ourselves so well over the years." Carlisle looked a little angry. After centuries of hiding himself he'd been found out anyway. And probably by a bunch of teenage girls and their mothers. Even worse! They had not only read about vampires. They had read about my relationship with Edward! If I could've blushed I would've been a new shade of red. I didn't even want to think of how many people had read about it. Then I'd have that heart attack Edward always talked about having. All this time Edward didn't want to share me with anyone else and I was being shared with the world!

I took a quick glance at his marble face. It was very apparent that he'd come to the same realization as myself.

"We don't know, but we're amazed you didn't know about this. These books are supposed to be more popular than Harry Potter." Domenic put into words what I would've thought about if my thoughts weren't filled with immense embarrassment.

"We'll have to discuss this matter as a family," Carlisle told us. His eyes were trained on Edward.

"We'll leave you alone to that. Maybe we'll see you again some time." Maia's eyes portrayed her hope prominently as she and Domenic left us to ponder our options.

"Everyone, inside," Carlisle instructed.

Family meeting time...
