Sorry for taking so long to update. I've been working on most of my stories updates, and when I get blocked I stop and save whatever chapter I'm working on and then work on another story's update. This chater took awhile because I had to decide on somethings, but I think I've got the kinks worked out for now...I hope.

Thank you all for the Reviews you've been leaving, and everything. They mean alot to me, and they help me with my writing. Sorry this chapter is so short, but I'm already working on the next chapter...

[ Rosalie Pov ]

I didn't get a chance to tell Bella about my family and myself. Between school and her going to Seattle everyday for practices and back, I didn't really get to see her. We talked in school, but it wasn't really the right place for that conversation. I mean what can I do? Tell her right before lunch? Yeah, that would end badly. So I decided to wait till after her Gymnastics competition, which is today.

I'm completely nervous, and I'm not even sure why. Its not like its me who's the one who is competing against another gymnastics' team. I think I'm actually nervous for Carlisle and Esme to meet her. I know they already said they would love to have her and accept her, but they really don't understand that this is really huge for me. I haven't been with anybody since I was turned. So her meeting my 'parent's is nerve wrecking, I mean what if she doesn't like them? What if she sees them and just breaks down, being reminded of her own parents?

" Calm down Rose, everything is going to be fine." Jasper soothed me.

I sighed and welcomed his calming emotions. They made me feel better, I was half way back to panicking again. I've never been this sappy or emotional before, at least not since after my change. If Bella wasn't my mate, I think I would be angry with her for making me react this way. It's foreign to me, worrying and carrying so much for another person, not to mention a human.

I managed to get myself together and 'man' up as Emmett called it. I finished getting ready, and helping Esme find something to wear. She wanted to look nice for Bella. She said something like we were stepping in to represent her family and that we all were to look nice, she aimed that mostly towards the boys, then again, they would never step out of the house looking less than great. Alice always dressed them, she didn't trust them to pick out their own clothes. Truth is I don't blame her, after living with Edward and Emmett for so much longer than her, she luckily didn't have to see their miss match days. It was hideous and hilarious at the same time. It really was gross though seeing Emmett try to fit his bigger body in a pair of Edward's jeans, no man's crotch should ever be hugged that tight.

Finally we left the house, I decided to ride with Esme and Carlisle, It seemed like a better option. Edward, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper all decided to ride together in the Volvo. I hate that mom car, I swear Edward secretly has a vagina somewhere tucked down there. He's more girly than I am, and if his car didn't give his gayness away, then I'd be damned. Riding with those two couples is just asking for something bad to happen. Alice and Emmett always argue, and Jasper and Edward always argue because they are defending their mates, between arguing people get slapped and Alice may or may not pull your hair out, and in return, you get a headache the size of Texas. Being a vampire, its impossible to get a headache, unless you know my siblings.

" Before we go in, I just want to warn you. When I told you her eyes were red, I meant bright blood red, like a newborn vampire." I whispered vampire speed at my parents as they pulled in next to the Volvo.

Carlisle didn't say anything, he looked to be thinking. I shrugged it off, and Esme looked shocked again. I rolled my eyes mentally, and just nodded my head. I really didn't feel like trying to explain why my mate's eyes were so different and so unique, because I honestly had no reasonable explanation. Emmett once tried to say it was because she was half Albino. That of course was ridiculous, I looked it up.

We all walked in the building, and my vampire senses went into to over drive, so did everybody else. There was another vampire in the building, three to be exact. And they smelt extremely familiar. Irena, Kate, and Tanya were here. For what reasons I'm not sure, but having them see me interact with a human, my mate, made me feel extremely defensive. The rules were that we weren't suppose to tell human's about us, and though I haven't told Bella, I was planning on it.

We were told to go in and take our seats. Their were bright lights everywhere, different sections of the large arena type room were set off in different spots. Beams, and other things I really had no interest in were placed about on a blue carpet with cushioned flooring, I'm guessing for body protection incase of a fall. Bella's team was wearing gold and white body hugging outfits. I noticed her right away, she had been looking around and once she spotted me she beamed and waved.

I watched as she turned towards the girl she was speaking to, and then started heading our way.

"Is that your Bella?" Esme whispered out in awe.

I smiled at her and whispered yes.

" You Came! I wasn't really sure if you would." She shouted happily and hugged me

I laughed and kissed her cheek.

" Of course I came, You invited us, and we wouldn't just not show up!" I told her

She laughed and nodded, then looked over at Carlisle and Esme.

" Hello, you must be Dr. and Mrs. Cullen. Thanks for coming, its very nice to have you here and to meet you." She said and stuck her hand out for Esme to shake.

Esme grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug, surprising Bella. She went stiff for a second, then relaxed and I think I heard her sniff Esme? Yes, she defiantly sniffed Esme. It was hilarious because if Esme could blush, she would be right red at the very moment.

" Please call me Esme dear, Mrs. Cullen makes me feel old." Esme joked and smiled affectionately towards her.

" Its lovely to meet you Isabella. And thank you for inviting us, I look forward to the festivity." Carlisle smiled a wide smile, and his face took on one of astonishment.

He had that calculating expression on his face, like as if he were studying something. The look he got when he learned of peoples gifts or if he wanted to experiment. It made me want to growl at him. Bella's not an experiment, and he better not even try to question her about her eyes.

"Bella, you look wonderful!" Called a voice behind me. I tensed at the voice.

I turned around slowly and was greeted by the very smiley face of Irena.

Tanya and Kate were standing next to her giggling at her. It confused me, how did they know her? They seemed to be taken with her just as my family was.

" Rena! You came, and you brought your sisters as well?" Bella said smiling at her.

I didn't like the way Irena's eyes lingered on Bella. I let out a low growl and stepped closer to Bella placing my head on her shoulder.

" Oh sorry! Irena, Tanya, Kate, these are the Cullen's. And this is Rose!" Bella giggled out.

I could feel my family coming closer and it worried me.

" How do you know them Bella?" Tanya asked snottily.

I always hated her. She thought she was better than everybody, even me. I know I'm not like Alice, all girly and foofy and shit. But I did know when I was better looking, hell I was extremely vain as a human. I learned to be more humble after my change. But this bitch, I couldn't stand her.

" They go to my school. And they are my friends." Bella told her while tilting her head in confusion.

" She is my mate" I said vampire speed, so Bella wouldn't hear it.

The three Denali sisters looked taken back, and Irena looked hurt but covered it up by smiling.

" Good luck, we'll be cheering you on B!" Kate chirped and hugged Bella slightly before letting her go.

Bella told me she would talk to me after the competition, and we all took our seats.

" What in the world is going on here? How do you guys know Rosalie's mate?" Esme whispered.

" We're watching out for her. It's our job. She's not human, though she doesn't know that yet." Tanya whispered back, not looking at us though, she was looking a head a Bella.

" I knew it!" Carlisle cried out happily, causing many people to look in our direction.

We hiss at him, and Esme actually swatted him in the back of the head. It was something she rarely ever does. But it was better than what I wanted to do. I wanted to maim him, and possibly pull his head off his shoulders for all that 'processing' he had been doing this entire time.

" What do you mean she's not human? And your watching her? For what? Why does she need to be watched?" I demanded out trying to look normal keeping a small smile on my face and would smile larger when Bella would turn back to see if she had my or everybody else's attention.

" If you must know, We knew her parents. We're not exactly sure what she is, but she's something different. Her father seemed to know what we were when he came across us hunting a few years ago. He asked if anything were to happen to him, that we keep watch over his little girl, and to try to sooth her when she went through her, body process." Tanya replied.

That didn't make any sense to me what so ever.

" Look, we're assuming that she's a fairy, you know like a sprite? Her muscles in her back have been sore and aching a lot more lately. We had to reveal our selves to her after she lost both of her parents. She seemed to be more trustful towards Irina. We haven't told her what we are. She just knows were different. It's her supernatural instinct telling her that." Kate told us.

" Not to mention she had a nice set of ears on her. I swear she hears everything, but passes it off." Tanya whispered.

Irina herself never once really commented on anything. She was more interested in watching the way my mate moved. It made me angry and jealous that she was looking at her in that way. Only I wanted to look at her in that way, then again, everybody was looking at her and the other girls in that way. It made me want to rush towards her and cover her barely covered body and take her home.

The conversation ended and I focused on Bella. She was very good. The way her limbs moved, and how her muscles rippled underneath her skin was amazing. She was extremely fit and lean. The way her leg muscles moved when she ran to the vault had me mesmerized.

She landed everything she was suppose to do. I don't know much about gymnastics, but everybody cheered for her when she finished, and when she landed she never stumbled, or fell as she landed on her feet, and raised her arms in a pose at the end. She looked so free when she moved, she looked like she loved it. Then again I suppose she does since she is the one in gymnastics.

" Has she lost weight?" Kate whispered to Irina.

I looked at Bella, she seemed to look like she was the same size when I first saw and met her. But that's only if your looking with the human eye, would it seem like she was the same. With my enhanced sight, I could see that she indeed had lost weight, about five pounds maybe eight. Probably stress, she is over working herself, between school, practices, and everything else, its normal to lose weight and put it on. Its part of being human, your body changes, its not frozen like us vampires.

" Do you think she's not eating again?" Irina asked in a whisper.

" What do you mean not eating again?" I hissed out.

That is seriously a horrible thing. To starve yourself, a lot of human girls go through it. I couldn't bare it if Bella was starving herself, she had no reason to. She's in incredible shape, and she's beautiful.

" Maybe it would be wise to speak to you after its over. Like back at your house or something? " Irina sighed, yet didn't turn around to look at me, or anyone else in my family.

" I was going to tell Bella about us today, afterwards. She knows were different, its hard keeping the truth from her." I sighed out.

Irina's shoulders sagged and I didn't care. I didn't care that she liked Bella, personally I wanted to kill her for liking my mate, but I cant do that. I cant just kill anybody for being interested in my Bella. That would be very monstrous of me.

" You cant tell her" Tanya hissed out, " The Volturi could find out. Do you know how hard its been invading that Aro? He calls for Eleazer when he gets a new member, and always extends the invitation. As if we really want to be around him, not after what he did." She said angrily, but whispered at the end.

Tanya, Irina, and Kate or Katrina which is her real name, were all sired by a woman named Sasha. Sasha was the mother they never really had, she loved the girls, but wanted a small child so badly that she actually changed a little boy at the age of three. The Volturi found out about it, and Aro ordered for her to be executed.

" Yeah, and every time we decline telling him we have vacationing plans. Thank goodness Carmen doesn't know of Bella or Eleazer, all they know is that we've been visiting a friend often. We've been careful, no doubt Aro checks his thoughts when they visit. " Kate added

" It isn't as if I'm planning on visiting Italy any time soon." I whispered.

The three girls turned back to look at me at the same time.

" And if you or the whole family is ordered to visit? What would you do then?" Irina glared at me.

" Look, I'm telling her, I have to. As her mate, I cant keep anything from her. If she wants to be changed, I shall change her. I wont just leave her human if she didn't want to stay human. I also would allow her to live out her human life if that is as she wished." I told them evenly.

By this time we had only been watching when Bella was doing something, we talked through out the other girls. I wasn't interested in watching the others anyways, my eyes were only for Bella. Sometimes I catch her looking at me while she's waiting, and I wink at her. Hearing her giggling all the way across the large room makes my dead heart flutter.

I became lost in my thoughts after awhile. I knew I had to tell Bella what I am, what my family is. I knew I would have to tell her my story too, which isn't a pretty one. I also knew that I had to tell her she couldn't tell a soul, not even talk to her self about it out loud. I couldn't risk her life, but she had to know the reasons, the consequences and what not.

I know that the Denali sisters done want me to tell her, but I am. She deserves to know. She also needs to know that she had choices. I would also have to tell her about our bond, or connection if you will.

So I sat quietly, clapping when she did great, and smiling the whole time. It was very nice just watching her do something she loved. Her face flushes and her eyes are sparkly. The way she smiles, isn't just one you normally see on her, one that she gives when she's greeting you. No, the smile she has on her face is the kind of smile that shines even brighter than the sun. It makes her more beautiful.

It felt nice to actually feel again after some time. Being alone with nobody to love besides family members is hard. The emptiness is now replaced with this swelling of emotion swimming around inside of me. This warm excited feeling, that makes me sigh and smile and wish to shout to the roof tops and sing happy songs. And as much as it feels nice to feel those emotions, it worried me.

It worried me because, what if when I tell her of my past, and what I am, and that she's meant to be with me for forever, would she leave? Would she get scared and run? Would she hate me? Would she be disgusted of me and never want to touch me once she learns of everything?

Either way, I knew. I knew if she was to react badly, I'd follow her. I'd do anything for her, I'm already lost to her. She owns my soul and my cold dead heart. I can only wish and hope she allows me to have her heart, and to allow me to love her.

Bella's team won the competition. We watched as she cried and hooted with her team mates. They of course told her it was because of her, but she told them that it was because of them, all of them. That a team is a family, and they work together, and strive.

That made me smile, and made me think of my own family as my team, and that Bella could be a part of it if she so decided.

She ran to me and hugged me and kissed me, then blushed as she heard Esme cooing over it. She hugged everybody else, and thanked us all for coming a million times. She giggled with the Denali sisters, and eventually was scolded by Tanya who asked if she was losing weight.

Bella looked down ashamed.

" It's not that I'm not eating on purpose. It's just some nights after practice, I'm just so tired when I get home I don't even bother with eating. I don't like to sleep with that feeling of being so full, its suffocating." She whined out.

Kate stepped forward and glared at her.

" Isabella! You have to eat! Its not healthy to just not eat, you losing weight, we can see it. If we can see it, then that's something." Kate told her while waggling her finger at her then poked her nose.

I was about to attack her, because we all know her talent is shocking by touch. But it didn't effect Bella. Usually Kate makes sure she never touches anybody, and if she does her hands are covered.

" You notice everything though! And I have been eating breakfast and lunch! doesn't that count for something, I'm not purposefully trying to not eat. Jesus I'm not a child." She snarled and then stomped off

No body said anything after that. Though Carlisle may have muttered something about testing Isabella's blood, but I shut him up. He doesn't need to be poking around her or on her like she's some lab rat.

So much for today going well.

-A/N ;

So things are stirring up. It seems Ms. Bella isn't so human after all. Though, what is she? Are the Denali sister's right?

Seems like Rose can never catch a break huh?
