Chapter 6

Isabella P.O.V

When we reached the mall, Kitty and Jane dragged Rogue and me into the shops, with dad and Storm trailing behind us. So much for Storm's help with controlling Jane and Kitty.

Rogue managed to get us into Hot Topic early on mind, and it was where I got most of my own clothes from. I found that I preferred the gothic style of clothes to other kinds. But I did get a few other things from other shops; you have to have a bit of variety, after all. I found that shopping with Rogue, Kitty and Jane was much more fun than any other shopping experience I'd ever had. It wasn't a frenzy like it was with Alice, and I was actually allowed my opinion on clothes, not just based on whether they would make me look good.

Dad told me to get whatever I wanted to and that that statement didn't just extend to clothes. He bought me a CD player, an I-pod and a mobile phone, and told me to feel free to get any CD's or books that I wanted. The girls helped me pick out books and CD's. Jane and Rogue introduced me to a few bands and artists that I hadn't listened to before. These included 'Evanescence' and 'Night Wish'.

I was having the time of my life by lunch. We went to the food court and grabbed a table. After all of us, minus Jane, bought food, Kitty, Rogue, Jane and me started planning what shops to hit next, Storm putting in some in put every so often.

Dad stood up. "I'll be back in five." He walked off, in the direction of the toilets.

We continued our conversation, when I heard a very familiar voice behind me.

"Bella?"

I turned around, and looked up at none other than Alice Cullen. "Alice." I said, wearily.

"What are you doing here?" Her eyes flicked to Jane, and then back to me. "What are you doing here with a Volturi?"

"Jane's a friend, Alice." I said icily. I stood up slowly, and turned to face her completely.

"Hang on a sec." Alice said, seemingly not hearing what I said. She disappeared, and reappeared a moment later, Edward at her side. I groaned internally.

"You have got to be kidding me." I muttered under my breath.

"Bella!" Edward exclaimed. "What are you doing here? You should be in Forks!"

"Should I have stayed there my whole life Edward?" I asked. He looked taken aback.

Edward surveyed the people behind me. His eyes settled on Jane, and he tensed.

"Bella, get behind me." He said, so that only I could hear, well, Jane and Alice could too, but they were Vampires.

"You can't tell me what to do, Edward. Like I told Alice, Jane's my friend. She helped me out of a bad situation. I'm not in any danger from Jane."

"Don't be stupid Bella." Edward said. He grabbed my wrist, and I heard Storm, Jane, Kitty and Rogue rise to their feet.

"You want to let me go Edward." I said through gritted teeth. A growl built up in my chest, and it ripped out of my throat. Edward and Alice looked at me in surprise. They quickly recovered, however. Edward went to start and try to pull me away, when my dad appeared. He gripped Edwards's wrist tightly. I saw Edward wince in pain, and look at dad.

"You want to let Isabella go bub, if you know what's good for you, at least."

"Who are you?" Edward demanded.

"Her father. Now, let her go."

Edward laughed. "You're not. I've met her father. His name's Charlie Swan and he's the Chief of police in Forks."

"I was adopted Edward. But you didn't stick around long enough for me to tell you, did you?"

Edward stared at me, incredulously.

"It's in your best interests to let my daughter go, bub. I've trained with Felix Volturi, and have been known to be able to beat him in a fight, too. At least, I did the last few times we spared together. Each time it took him quite a while to heal over."

Edward looked at him for a moment, and then he released my wrist. "Bella-" he began.

"First off, Edward," I interrupted, "its Isabella now. Secondly, don't try and tell me what to do. You tried that once. It's not happening again. Good bye Edward. Alice." I turned my back to them, and sat back down.

I heard the pair leave, and the others sat down. I could see rogue was playing with one of her gloves, which she was wearing.

"Who were they?" Kitty asked.

"Edward and Alice Cullen. My ex and his sister. Both of them are vamps."

"They prefer a 'vegetarian' diet though." Jane said. "It's why their eyes are topaz. They only feed on animal blood."

"I take it you don't like them then?" Rogue asked.

Jane snorted. "It's not natural. And Alice has visions of the future. Had she looked, Izz would never have ended up in that facility. Well, that is if they actually cared about her."

We slipped into an uneasy silence, and after a while, decided to return to the mansion.

When we got there, we were greeted by Jean Grey, she was the school doctor, and a telekinetic, with some telepathic abilities. She told me that my room was ready. Dad and I separated from the others and wandered upstairs, back to the rooms.

"Yours is next to mine." Dad said.

I smiled. "That's great dad!" I said.

"I think its better. Especially after your nightmare last night. I can get to you and wake you up, without anyone else doing it. You may bring out your claws without realising."

I nodded, as we stopped in front of a door. Dad opened the door for me, and I stepped inside.
