Bella POV.
"I think we better hide it from Alice for a little while otherwise we won't hear the end of it for about fifty years." I said as I laughed slightly and Edward joined in.
"Your sister and mom, planned the wedding? Wow, they have the best taste. Are they going into business as wedding planners?" Angela asked as she looked between us, Edward shook his head and I just smiled.
"No, Esme is thinking about going back to her interior design for a while, I think and Alice is thinking of heading to Paris to attend fashion school over there. I think soon, both mom and dad are going to have empty nest syndrome. With Rosalie and Emmett at Dartmouth, Alice thinking of going to Paris, and I am sure Jasper will go with her, and Bella and I heading to Dartmouth next year the house will be quite empty without all of us there." Edward said as he smiled at me and a wink and I smiled back.
"Wow, I didn't realise you all got into Dartmouth, your parents must be very proud of you all." Ben said as he smiled at us and Edward shrugged.
"Esme and Carlisle don't care that we got into ivy league colleges they are just happy that we do something that we love, that's all they want for us. Ivy league is just a bonus for them, I know Carlisle went to Stanford university, for his doctorate in medicine. I think Esme went to Brown for her degree in interior design." Edward said again and I raised an eyebrow at him and he smile and shrugged, I knew he would tell me the whole story later.
"Wow, all ivy league schools. Your family must be quite rich to pay for it all." Angela said quietly and I smiled she didn't know the half of it. Edward just nodded slightly.
"I guess we are, I know dad has good investments in the stock market and we have make a bit of money from that, and his jobs as a doctor he gets good money from that. I have my inheritance from my biological parents, they left me property around the country and some shares in stock as well as some money. I think it's the same for my other siblings, I have donated some of the money I have to some charities. It's the least I can do." Edward said as I smiled and shook my head slightly.
"I don't really have an inheritance, so when Edward first told me about all that he had and the
money the rest of the family had I felt very insignificant. But then, Alice sat down with me and explained some stuff, they have that because they lost their parents where as I still have mine, and so they see me as equal." I said as I snuggled closer to Edward as he tightened his grip on me. Our food came then and soon we were eating, a few times Edward fed me some from his plate to get out of eating some of it, and I knew he was watching to make sure Ben and Angela didn't notice he wasn't really eating, when my drink got low I took his. When we finished the waitress came by again.
"Anything else I can get for you?" she asked and I looked at Edward, who looked at me before we turned and looked at Angela and Ben.
"Do you two mind if I have a slice of the chocolate cake?" Angela asked and we shook our heads.
"I'll have a slice as well." I said and I saw Angela smile. The waitress came back with two slices, Angela and I ate ours slowly and a few times Edward decided to feed me a few bites and I smiled as he smiled back at me. We finished and Edward got the waitresses attention he slipped his credit card in before handing the folder back to the girl, I could see both Ben and Angela wanting to argue but I shook my head and with a slightly laugh and a smile.
"Edward's treat. We invited you two join us, let us pay." I said as I watched Edward smile at us at the table and they nodded just as the waitress came back with his card. We stood up and headed out.
"How about a walk in the park?" Edward suggested as he looked at us and I smiled and nodded along with Angela.
"Sure it sounds good." Ben said as we all headed to the closest park, Ben was talking with Edward and they fell a few steps behind and Angela wrapped her arm through mine as we walked ahead.
"So both you and Edward seem happy, married life suites you both." Angela said as she smiled at me and I smiled and nodded.
"Yes, now I don't have to head home to Charlie's every night. It still feels slightly strange even now, I keep thinking I will wake up and it be all a dream." I said as I smiled brightly, married to Edward was fantastic, even if we haven't made love yet.
"Bella, I know I can trust you to keep a secret. Can I tell you one that you need to keep a secret forever?" Angela asked as she looked at me and I nodded my head, Angela took a deep breath.
"I'm a witch. I found out on my eighteenth birthday, it came as a shock and I found out it runs in my family, it skips generations here and there but the first born daughter is the only one to get the magic, I hasn't ever been a boy." Angela said to me and I blinked, it wasn't what I was expecting, but I smiled and listened as she spoke.
"Wow, that's great Angela. I guess you told Ben, do you mind if Edward knows?" I asked as I watched my friend and she smiled before shaking her head.
"No, I planned to tell you and him about what I am, no marriage should have secrets in them." Angela said as she smiled at me and I saw both Edward and Ben jog towards us again, Edward picked me up and swung me around in a circle. I laughed as he put me down, and he just smiled at me.
"Edward, give me some warning next time." I said as I smiled and winked at Angela. Ben smiled and I saw Edward smiling at Angela. He smirked at me before sending me a wink. "Sorry love, I just felt like surprising you." Edward said as he found a park bench and Angela and Ben headed over with us, Edward sat em down on his lap and Angela and Ben sat next to us.
"Can I ask you both to keep a secret? What I want to tell you can not be told to another, it can endanger us all." Edward said as he looked at Angela and Ben, I rubbed Edward's arm up and down as I smiled calmly. Angela and Ben nod their heads.
"I am not human. I'm a vampire, as is my whole family, Esme, Carlisle, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice. Bella found out a few weeks after we spent time together, when the van almost killed Bella, I used my speed to stop the van. At the time I didn't know what I was feeling, I only knew I had to save Bella." Edward said as I saw Ben looking a bit green, Angela looked as though she had gotten the answer to a very hard maths question.
"By telling us this, how can it endanger us all?" Ben asked after he calmed down and I saw Angela give he a smile which he returned.
"The leaders of the vampire world don't want humans to know about them, and when Edward left me, I went cliff jumping with a friend. Alice had seen me jump, and she thought I had tried to kill myself, she raced back to forks only found me alive, but Rosalie hadn't been updated and had rang Edward saying I was dead."
" Edward decided he wouldn't live in a world that I wasn't in and headed to Italy where the leaders lived, asking them to end him. Alice realised and she and I headed to Italy to stop Edward. It was a close call, but I ended up being brought to the leaders as well as Edward and Alice. While we were in there we almost lost our lives"
"It was only on a promise Alice made that got us out of there alive. They demanded I either become a vampire or they would kill me before I left, Alice promised she would change me, but only after I had worked away to leave my human life without having a search across the country for me, which you know Charlie would do if I suddenly disappeared. They agreed and we came back and it was then that Edward and the family came back to forks. Of course my friend I went cliff jumping with wasn't to happy I was back with Edward, and the friend was Jacob. The dislike between Edward and Jacob is quite strong, I can't tell you that story since it isn't mine to tell." I said as I watched as both Angela and Ben looked at me wide eyes.
"Wow, you knew about vampires for a while. No wondered when I asked you what was going on when we did my invites for graduation, you was clammed up. I am guessing if Edward is a vampire and the dislike between Jacob and Edward is strong it isn't just jealousy, he is an enemy to Edward." Angela said as she smiled slightly and I nodded my head and Edward cleared his throat.
"mortal enemy, is correct, the only thing that has kept him from ripping me to pieces is the treaty my family and I have with the tribe." Edward said as he twisted a piece of my hair and I sighed and leaned into him.
"Mortal enemies, in the comics I read, that would be between werewolves and vampires." Ben said as Edward nodded his head slightly and I watched as both Angela and Ben's mouths fell open.
"Wow, vampires werewolves and witches. The world is stranger than it was yesterday when I thought it was only witches. May I ask how old you are Edward?" Angela asked as she looked at Edward and I.
"You can, I was born twentieth of June nineteen-oh-one. I was changed in nineteen-eighteen, when I was seventeen and dying from the Spanish influenza, my biological mother and father had already died from it, Carlisle was one of the doctors working at the hospital in Chicago where I had lived. I was the first one Carlisle changed. Esme was next, then Rosalie and lastly Emmett. Alice and Jasper came to join our family, they were already vampires." Edward said as he looked at me and I smiled as I ran my fingers through his hair.
"Wow, I guess the world has changed a lot since you were born." Ben said as he looked wide eyed at Edward and smiled as I kissed his cheek. Edward nodded his head and I looked at Angela.
"Why don't we head back to the house and we can all talk to you both a bit more, it will be warmer for you three. Plus, I think Alice might try and cook again, she burnt the toast this morning past black." Edward said and I laughed slightly and nodded my head and I smiled as I saw Ben and Angela nod.
"Okay, where did you park you car?" I asked Ben as I looked at him with a small smile.
"Just across the street here, and where is yours" Ben asked and Edward smiled a bit.
"In front of the theatre, the silver Volvo, you looked at as we headed to the restaurant." Edward said as he smiled and I just looked at Angela.
"Would you like me to drive you car home, and then we can all go in one car?" Edward asked and I smirked slightly.
"Uh, sure but do you know where my house is?" Ben asked as he looked from Edward to me, Edward nodded and pointed to his head. And Ben looked confused and I smiled and Angela was looking at me.
"I can read minds, so I know what your house looks like, it's okay Ben I will have it at your house in ten minutes." Edward said and I watched Ben and Angela's mouths drop open again.
"But the drive is just under an hour." Angela said as she looked between Edward and I.
"Not with Edward behind the wheel it isn't. Don't worry your car is perfectly safe, Edward, can I have the Volvo keys while Ben gives you his." I said as I watched as Edward handed me his keys and Ben handed his over. I smiled gave Edward a kiss and with Ben and Angela following me I led them to the Volvo. Edward headed to Ben's car and soon he was out of sight.
"So, Bella did you ever freak out when you found out what Edward was?" Angela asked as we sat in the Volvo, Edward was due back in a minute. I smiled as I turned and faced her and Ben who was in the back seat of the Volvo.
"No, not really. I already knew he couldn't be human from how good looking he was. Edward's family aren't the only ones that are vampires, and not all of them are a kind or nice as the Cullens are. Do you remember when I came back from phoenix? I had my leg in a cast for prom, as well as a few other injuries, it wasn't from falling down two flights of stairs and going through a window like we told everyone, it was from a vampire nomad's attack, he tricked me."
"I had gone with Edward and the rest of the Cullen's when they played a game of baseball, during the game three nomads came, one was a tracker, it means he can find anyone he wants no matter how far they are. Edward heard his thoughts he wanted to make me his next meal, Rosalie, Esme, Carlisle,Emmett, Alice and Jasper made them leave and Carlisle hoped they would leave me and the rest of Forks alone, but James that was the trackers name, wanted me."
"To him it was a game, I was the prize and since I had seven vampires willing to protect me it made it a challenge to him. Edward wanted me away from Forks as fast as possible, but I needed to make sure Charlie would be safe. We came up with a plan, that I would say I hated Forks and was heading back to phoenix, we did it when the tracker was listening. Then I left I headed to the Cullen's house, with him running in the other direction, Edward was with me, Alice and Emmett were running behind us."
"I swapped clothes with Esme, to try and hide my scent. And then the Cullen's split up, Emmett, Edward and Carlisle were going to follow James, his partner was Victoria, she was one of the other two from the group of nomads, the last of the group was Laurant, he left the group and went to the other vampires in Denail who are like the Cullens." I said as I took a deep breath, I traced my scar that James had given me from the attack as I continued.
"Esme and Rosalie were staying in Forks to keep an eye on Charlie and when Victoria came through the town followed her as well. Alice and Jasper took me south, we headed to phoenix, we had hoped to trick James into thinking I was somewhere else, since he knew we knew he could hear what we had said. Anyway he found out about the trick, and he came to phoenix. He tricked me by making me think he had my mom, he told me the only way to save her was if I could slip past Alice and Jasper and meet him alone."
"I believed him, and the day I slipped away from them was the day Edward was coming to phoenix to hide with me while the others continued hunting, James. We were at the airport and I knew that the level we were on had a bathroom that had two exit doors on either side of the gate, so I slipped in one and went out the other. I went by my old family home which he had told me to, I rang the number he had left and I was told to head to my old dance school, I followed. When I got there I found out he had used some old family videos of my mom to make it sound like she was there, then he decided he was going to leave a message for Edward, a video of his own."
"He spoke about a few things while he taunted me, when I tried to make a run for it he throw me into one of the walls, he then snapped my leg like it was a twig, and when I thought I was going to die he bit me. It was then that Edward came to my rescue, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper and Emmett were there as well. Carlisle and Alice help try and look after me, while Emmett and Jasper ripped James apart and burnt the pieces, I was drifting in and out of conciousness, because of all the blood I had lost, I told them about the burning in my hand and Edward sucked the venom out. I ended up in hospital there, where I was under sedatives for almost a week, before I woke up. I had cracked ribs, a broken leg and a few blood transfusions, and stitches in my head." I said again and I saw Edward causally walking towards the car and I smiled as I unlocked the door for him, he smiled as he slid into the drivers seat.
"The whole time Bella was under I stayed in her hospital room, not leaving. I was so scared I would lose her, I kept watch. After Bella woke up I tried to talk her into moving in with her mother and step father in Florida, she wouldn't have it. Bella can be quite stubborn, so we stayed together, I then tricked her into going to prom with me, since I knew she wouldn't go if I asked her. We thought our problems were done with the death of James, I underestimated how strong Victoria's feeling for him were." Edward said as he spat out Victoria's name and I saw Ben flinch slightly as I rubbed Edward's arm.
"Edward, she is gone. She can't hurt you, me or anyone again." I said as I turned around in my seat and buckled my seat belt.
"I will warn you both, I drive quite fast and very over the speed limit, so buckle up. Don't worry you car is in your driveway Ben, in one piece, just like we will be as I drive, I have faster reflexes and better eyesight than you three." Edward said as he started the car and I rolled my eyes as he pulled out of the park and headed out of Port Angeles. Soon as we were out of the city area Edward floored it.
"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you speed." Ben said as he gulped slightly. Angela was looking at me, I could feel her gaze on me and I just shrugged.
"Any time I was running late for school, Edward's crazy driving saved me, we got there on time. Now I am used to his driving, I still get a little wary when it's the others but I know they would never crash. When Alice and I were on our way to save Edward, Alice was driving way over the speed limit, it looked like the other cars were driving backwards." I said as I saw Edward give me a look and I shrugged again, I guess Alice had forgotten to tell Edward just how fast she had been going to get to save him on time. Angela just nodded and I could see Ben was trying to do some of the maths, I shook my head and shut my eyes. It wasn't long afterwards I felt the car slow down slightly, and I knew we had entered Forks, just passed the welcome sign. Edward slowed down again and I could hear two sighs of relief.
I opened my eyes as the Volvo came to a complete stop, in front of the Cullen house and I smiled. Edward got out and had opened all our doors, before Ben or Angela had their seat belts off. I heard Angela squeak slightly and I laughed and shook my head. Edward helped me out of the car, it was then I remembered the fact that Esme, Alice and Rosalie were human again. I looked at Edward and speaking softly, I knew neither Angela or Ben could hear me.
"Edward, Esme, Alice and Rosalie are human again, how are we going to explain that?" I asked as I looked at Edward and he smiled at me before breathing in my ear.
"Don't worry, we can explain it to them, now just relax." I heard him say in my ear and I nodded my head as we held hands and headed into the house, Ben and Angela were following us, we opened the door and allowed them to walk in before us.
I could hear Jasper and Alice talking in the living room, and Rosalie and Emmett were in the garage. Edward and I headed up to the living areas and we sat down on the couch, Angela and Ben were right behind us and Alice looked nervous, Jasper hissed softly and Edward spoke to fast for me to understand but I guessed he was explaining what Angela and Ben were doing here, I noticed Jasper relax slightly. Alice came over and gave me a hug.
"So did you enjoy the movie?" Alice asked as she looked between Edward and I. I smiled slightly, before nodding slightly.
"It was good. It was great to get out with just Edward without having a pixie telling us when we needed to be back, or discussing the success of the wedding or more wedding details. I was pretty sure, Edward would either start pulling his hair out because you were interrupting all out time together or I was going to go crazy and start breaking things with all the questions you were asking me." I said as I smiled at Alice, and she and Jasper laughed and Angela and Ben was looking between us.
"Emmett, Carlisle. Can you please bring Esme and Rose with you, we have some guests." I said at normal level and Angela raised and eyebrow and Ben looked confused. Emmett came in at half his 'normal' speed carrying Rosalie on his back, and he stopped suddenly and Rose sent him a glare as she coughed, Emmett helped her off his back and they came and sat down beside Jasper and Alice, Rose sent me a look and I just smiled at her and she looked shocked. Carlisle came into the room with Esme walking behind him.
Edward POV.
I watched as the rest of our family came into the room, Bella smiled at Rosalie, when Rosalie went to send her a warning look which shocked Rose, and I had a hard time not to laugh. Angela told her story again, by the time she had finished Carlisle wanted to run some tests, Esme was happy that later on she might be gaining another son and daughter. Rosalie seemed shocked and she voiced some of her questions, which Angela answered as she could. Emmett had laughed and welcomed them both to the family. Jasper had relaxed slightly, Alice was smiling and Bella was curled up next to me with her head on my shoulder.
"So, now what happens? Angela and Ben our now honorary members of our family. The Volturi are already wondering what is going on with Bella's change, but what about what has happened to us, now. Should the Volturi find out in any way, the whole family and most likely anyone we know will be killed for the fact that we broke the law." Esme said as she looked at everyone in the room, Ben looked confused and Angela looked slightly scared.
"I am guessing the leaders you told us about earlier are the Volturi?" Angela asked as she looked at everyone and Bella and I nodded our heads, as we sighed. Jasper sent out a few calming waves and I smiled gratefully at him.
"Okay, so now you know our secret, and we have learnt of yours. The secret shall never pass these walls, I know Edward has told you he can read minds. He isn't the only one in our family that is talented, Jasper is an empath, he can also manipulate the emotions around him. I can see the future, based on a decision one makes, that's why I know Bella will be a Vampire at some stage. I can also see somethings easier than others, the weather is one. Bella is the only mind that Edward can't read, but I can see her future and Jasper can change her emotions." Alice said as she smiled and moved up and down.
"I would ask , if someone has given you too much sugar today Alice, but I already know you are always like this." Rosalie said as she joked towards Alice and Alice just stuck her tongue out at her and Emmett laughed and Jasper smiled, while I could see Ben looking around at the house.
"Why, don't Bella and I give these two the tour of the house." I said and Esme smiled as she nodded her head and Carlisle smiled at us as he took Esme's hand and they headed up to his office again. Emmett just turned on his play station 3 on and challenged Jasper to one of the racing games he had. Rosalie and Alice headed over to the computer for some online shopping. Bella stood up and linked arms with Angela, while Ben and I walked along side each other.
"I think, now would be the time to set something straight." I said to Ben as he looked at me his thoughts whirled around in circles and so I tried to block them as best I could.
"When you heard Emmett and I talking about Prom, and I mentioned Angela. I did it because I knew she liked you, just as you liked her but because you were both so shy neither of you two had done anything about it, I just needed to give you a slight push. Angela had been so nice to Bella, both in her thoughts as well as her actions and so I wanted to see her happy, I realised she liked you even though she seemed unsure about whether or not you liked her back. Of course back then I couldn't just walk up to you both and say, yes you like each other and of course she would go on a date with you, since everyone would think I was crazy. So I thought if you thought I was interested to go out with Angela, then it might push you into asking her yourself. I only think of Angela as a friend, just as I do with you. Bella has and will be the only woman I look at, much like you look at Angela." I said as I watched Ben look at me surprised, and I smiled slightly and he smiled back.
"Thank you, then for your little push. I don't know how to repay you." Ben said to me and I smiled and shook my head, with a smile.
"Just keep Angela happy, that's all, I ask. I can see and hear just how serious you are about each other, so don't let her go for any reason. I know you remember what Bella looked like when I left, I think the same thing would happen to Angela if you left her." I said as I winced and Ben thought of how Bella looked after I had left and he winced and apologised in his thoughts.
As we headed back downstairs Bella and Angela spoke to each other about what had happened since they had last seen each other which happened to be our wedding. Occasionally we would point out something to Ben and Angela and answer questions, we showed them each room, but only pointed out our sibling's rooms, Carlisle had left his office door open and so we head headed in there, Bella had shown them the collections of paintings next to the door, and Carlisle was sitting down in the chair behind his desk as he told the stories behind each picture and how they are related, Angela and Ben spent a little more time looking at the one that held the Volturi leaders in it.
With the stories, finished and the tour over it was late afternoon. Angela had mentioned the time and Bella and I had smiled slightly as we headed down with Ben and Angela back to our car, as we went down toward the ground floor our family stuck their heads out of whatever room they were in to say goodbye.
I drove Angela and Ben home slower than I drove back from port Angeles. Ben asked some questions and I answered them, Angela was thinking and I tried as best I could to block out her thoughts. One thing Angela thought of caught my attention, something about a spell the other night, the night my father and Brothers were out hunting and the girls had made their wish.
"Angela what were you just thinking about?" I asked and I could hear Bella hide her laugh, while Ben shook his head and Angela went through her thoughts again.
"Oh, just about the other night. I was practising a spell on a falling star. I'm not sure if it worked though. Why do you ask?" Angela said before she asked and I smiled and I saw Bella look at me with her eyebrow raised, Ben looked confused and Bella was concentrating.
"Bella remember the night I went hunting with my brothers and father. The next morning you got a very strange and worried call from my sisters and mother?" I asked and Bella blinked before she nodded.
"Yes, the night before the three of them had wished on the same falling star. Their wish came true and it freaked everyone out." Bella said before she widened her eyes and turned to look at Angela with a sparkle in her eyes. Angela looked at bother of us while Ben still looked confused, Bella smiled.
"The night you placed the spell on the falling star was the night my sisters and mother had made a wish to become human again, their wish came true. Your spell worked, Angela it did something most vampires believed was impossible, being changed back into a human." I said as I saw recognition dawn on Angela's face. Bella smiled as Ben also understood, he blinked before looking from Angela to Bella and then to me.
"The spell worked? Wow." Angela said as she smiled and Ben laughed and Bella turned back around to face the front with a wide smile on her face, I also couldn't keep the smile from my face.
"Not only did it work but it made three people very happy and worried five of us. You must be a very strong witch to be able to do that." I said again and I saw Angela blush as she gave me a small apologetic smile.
"Way to go Ang." Ben said and Bella laughed as she cheered for her friend. I smiled and shook my head at them.
"Don't feel bad about it Angela, my mother and sisters are very happy as you saw." I said as I pulled into Angela's driveway, Bella and I said goodbye and smiled as we watched Ben walk Angela to the door and then we gave them some privacy. Minutes later Ben got back into the Volvo, and we headed to his house.
"Thank you for asking for Ang and I to join you both today. I know we all had fun and it was interesting to become part of a secret. Now that it had been pointed out I feel kind of dumb not have noticed before." Ben said as I heard Bella smile and I gave a small laugh.
"Your welcome and I thank you for keeping our secret. Humans have a strong self preservation instinct, you all know subconsciously that we were dangerous even if you didn't realise it. It is normal to keep your distance from us." I said as I saw Bella roll her eyes slightly.
"I don't seem to have the same instinct since I wasn't frightened of Edward for a second. I got closer to him and his family, and then it seemed I couldn't keep the supernatural away from me, Edward left and the person I was hanging out with the most was a werewolf. I think it is safe to say I wasn't mean to be in the human world, even the closest friend I had at school was Angela and she is a witch." Bella said as she smiled and I gave a laugh while Ben shook his head. I pulled up into his driveway and Ben smiled, as he got out. He headed inside and I drove Bella and I back to our crazy house.
