Before reading I must acknowledge kellinw for helping making this and other chapters great I am glad that I have your help :) Anyway on with the story.....


"Look happy." I commanded myself, whispering as I looked into the mirror. The rest of the Cullen family were already seated in the sitting room.

"Are you done yet?" The voice was amused and came from behind me. I turned around and smiled as I saw Emmett.

"What are you doing out here?" I asked.

"There was too much tension in that room." He replied.

I nodded my head, "I guess we should go in now." I was surprised at how confident my voice was.

Emmett took my hand and led me in reluctantly. The glare I received from Edward and Rosalie was one that was less than welcoming – it made me very uncomfortable, and I was trying desperately to ignore it. I decided to sit in a chair away from everybody else.

I questioned Esme and Carlisle, "What are we doing here?"

"I felt that there was a need for a family conference." Carlisle answered.

I scoffed at his ridiculous statement, "This is no family of mine."

"Bella, please..." Esme begged.

"No. I have better things to do than sit here and talk about how dysfunctional this family is!" I screamed back at her. Alice, most likely sensing my distress, leaned over and handed me a glass of wine.

"You'll need it." She said quietly. I took it graciously.

"Now, I realize this is a very stressful time for you Edward, but your behavior lately has been atrocious." Esme stated.

"Who the bloody hell are you? My father's whore?" Edward yelled at her. I knew how he didn't like to be ordered, but my unknowing sister did not. I cringed and took another sip of wine. There was nothing I could do about it, anyway.

"If you are calling Esme a whore, then you should call your wife one as well!" Rose hissed.

I scoffed, "Listen, Rosalie. I am the bloody Queen and I will not have someone below me speak to me in that tone."

She stood up and shouted back at me,"Below you?! I am a royal, too!"

I smirked at her, "Please... You're not fooling anybody. Everyone knows that you are jealous of me because I can have children."

For a while, she just stood there, emotionless, before hissing, "That is none of your business."

I shrugged my shoulders, "It's the truth. To be honest, it was the only reason Anthony showed no interest in you. You could have been Queen, but instead he married Tanya."

She came closer to me, before screeching, "Shut up! You're just a pathetic little girl!"

I laughed at her, "Aww... Did I hit a nerve?"

Rosalie walked over to me and tried to slap me, but Alice stood in front of her, effectively protecting me and stopping her, "Rose," she cautioned, "If you hit her, then you will be sentenced to death."

Both Rosalie and Alice stepped back and away from each other. Rose took Emmett's hand. Carlisle shook his head as Father Samuels quickly left the room. Suddenly, realizing what had just happened, I became very embarrassed.

Looking over at Esme, I said, "I think I will take my leave now."

She sighed but said nothing as I walked steadily towards the doors and out of the so-called companionship of my so-called family.

Mary's P.O.V

I looked up at a portrait of my mother. I smiled. Soon she would be avenged.

"Mary, darling..." Victoria greeted. Over the past few years she had taken care of me in secret.

"I miss her so much." I whispered, turning my gaze towards my hands, which were rested on my lap.

She put one finger under my chin to lift my face up and kissed my cheek. "Dear child, soon Isabella will no longer be able to trouble anyone."

"Why do you hate her so much?" I queried.

"She took someone from me." She said simply. I let my face drop again, since she was no longer holding it, but when I looked up again, she was gone. After a while, I heard another pair of footsteps, but they were more frantic.

"Mary! It's nice to see you." I glared at my stepmother, the owner of the sarcastic tone. As always, she looked perfect, even by royal standards.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

She sighed, disappointment leaking into her voice, "Honestly Mary – I had thought that you were smart."

"What are you trying to say?" I yelled at her.

She shook her head. "If you try to hurt my children, then I will be the one watching you burn. You, along with your friend, Victoria."

I gulped, worried, "My father would never allow it." Suddenly, I wasn't so sure of my words.

Isabella merely laughed, "You are worth nothing to him, and therefore you are no concern of his."

"Leave this castle now!" I hissed.

She started to walk out the room, but paused when she was a few steps away from the door. She turned around and said, "Victoria does not care about you. File that away somewhere and never forget it." I closed my eyes and cried in pity for my mother and myself. I prayed that God would be able to forgive me for my future actions
