Sorry for the late updates..writer's block attacked me..okay I changed a little in this part. I know bella never went to some family trip with the cullens in eclipse…
Edward POV
"KING ME!!" I heard Levi shouting from the living room. I can't believe my brother; Emmett has lost in the game of checkers to him 16 times. "Stupid son of a…" I heard this sentence rolling in Emmett's mind. I turned to Alice at the kitchen counter who was watching the cooking channel and asked, "Alice, how many more times is Emmett going to lose? I don't think he can take it much longer"
"2 more times because he's going to stop soon and Carlisle is back home"
Finally he is back from work. We needed to discuss Levi's intention; right here and right now. I tightened my face at the sight this evening was; Levi trying to get closer to my Bella. Is he looking for trouble?
Carlisle walked through the door at human speed and placed his suitcase on the tabletop nearby the door. I hurried to him with my frustrated appearance. "What's wrong, Edward?"
He didn't have to guess anymore. He knew my problem. He nodded and walked to the living room. Alice and I followed closely behind him.
"Levi, we have to draw some lines" Levi was really concentrating in the game with Emmett that he didn't realize Carlisle was talking to him. "Err, okay. I'll get some marker pens and paper…" He trailed off and moved a piece. "King me!" he laughed. Emmett made a somewhat angry and sad face as he kings Levi's 5th piece.
I couldn't take it much longer. I growled out loudly hoping to get attention but he still was focusing in the game. Rosalie and Jasper came downstairs while Esme came out of the kitchen.
I composed myself as Jasper sent a wave of calmness through me. Emmett wasn't looking at his game anymore. He looked up to me, worried.
"Everything okay, buddy?"
I kept looking at Levi as he to turn towards me. He stood up from the sofa casually and faced me, Alive and Carlisle.
"Anything wrong?" He grimaced and then walked away from us. I couldn't hold it much longer and tackled him into the wall. The girls gasped while Jasper and Emmett pulled me away from Levi. Shockingly, Levi didn't fight back. "Enough Edward!" Carlisle was stern.
Carlisle leaded all of us towards the dining room. We only used it for meeting or social activities. No eating happens here. "Family, take your seats" Carlisle exclaimed and we each took our seats.
Carlisle was head of the family and he took the chair in the middle. Directly opposite him was Esme. I sat between Alice and Carlisle. Jasper took the seat beside Alice. Levi was beside Esme facing Jasper. Rosalie sat between Carlisle and Emmett facing me.
I couldn't stand to look at Levi's disgusting, fake face.
I could hear Emmett tapping his finger on the table while Carlisle starts talking. "Alright Levi, we're all ears and we just want to know what is it you really want from us? Who sent you here?" Carlisle looked straight at him. He looked shocked.
"I told you! I was just looking for a new coven! If you really don't welcome me you don't have to interrogate me, you know?" he looks at all of us.
"They have absolutely no idea…" I heard his thoughts changing.
I winced and turned to me. "I forgot" I was guessing he forgot I could read minds.
"What do we not know?" I snarled loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone knew I was angry even Jasper couldn't help me.
"Relax Edward" Esme thought.
"Chill buddy!" Emmett smirked.
"If you continue to react like that, he won't talk" Rosalie scowled at me even in her thoughts!
"Edward, please I can't control too many kinds of emotion in this room!" I'm sorry Jasper.
"I think he's deciding whether to tell us or not. My visions keep changing" Alice thought and pulled my arm.
"Son, sit down" I didn't know I was standing till Carlisle reminded me. I sat down and looked around the dining table.
Levi still was calm till Jasper spoke. "Why do you feel nervous?" Some of us looked at Jasper while the rest looked at Levi.
"You're deciding whether you should tell us right? Tell us please Levi" Alice pleaded with him.
If it were possible for a vampire, Levi would be sweating and mumbling now. I could hear his thoughts being muffled. It seemed like he has so many things to say.
"Why don't we start with what are you planning with Bella?" I asked. He looked at me and then turned to Esme. Esme was really a caring mother but when it comes to safety, she is our police hero.
"Don't lie, Levi. Jasper can tell if you are and if you are, you will be sorry" Esme said with a glare.
Levi was even more frightened. He never knew Esme was some power woman. He took one deep breath and finally spoke. "Alright, I will answer all of your questions truthfully tonight. I promise. For starters, Bella is nothing of my interest" "It's true, Edward" He smiled to me while I looked the other way ignoring his smile.
I heard him sighed and he continued, "My main reason of coming to you guys has absolutely nothing to do with Bella" Levi set his gaze upon me especially. Bella's name made me pay full attention to him,
"I actually had a coven before I came here. They were like you. We didn't feed on humans" he paused hoping we were interested. "But something happened to them…" he stopped.
It was quiet again when Emmett thought of a question. "You still haven't told us why you came here, you know?"
"Thank you for pointing that out" Levi replied. "Captain obvious" I grimaced at that thought.
Emmett grunted and folded his arms. "My old coven who doesn't feed on humans; had a little problem with another coven. The other coven was, well a little crazy I would say" Levi shuddered and sat back on his chair.
"Crazy"? Carlisle questioned.
"Edward, pay attention" he stood up and walked towards me around the dining table. I didn't understood what he meant until he was communicating with me in his mind.
"If you can see the future with Alice, you can see the past with me" I nodded and paid full attention.
Flashback
"That's preposterous! Vampires should feed on humans! Not some underrated bear or lion!" a blonde girl in a grey cloak shouted to a crowd in a cave like place.
"This is the 16th century" I heard Levi's voice…somewhere.
"That's not true, Ellanor. We can be different. We don't have to be monsters! We were humans before after all. Why hurt our own kind?" a man with a shirt which looks like a sack and wearing a black cloak walked towards the girl in the center of attention. He seemed a little bit older but they still had white pale faces. Are these vampire covens having arguments?
Makes sense now. "My dear Rowan… Can you be anymore pessimistic? Those humans never did any good to us! We tried to make peace but they tried to defend themselves with garlic cloves and fire? We are indifferent. There's no denying. I just don't see any good in those beings"
"Ella, why do you have to bring this up right now? It is your brother's birthday, you know" In the crowd a teenager who looked vaguely like Levi glared at Ella
"He is not my brother and I am not your daughter!" The girl shrieked and ran off to somewhere else. Half of the crowd followed her while the other half stayed with the guy called Rowan.
Present
I shook my head and look at everyone else who were actually staring at me. "What?" I asked.
"You kept saying 'He is not my brother and I am not your daughter'" Emmett laughed and Rosalie smacked him on the head. Thanks Rosalie.
"Are you alright, Edward?" Esme asked caringly.
"I did?" I turned to Levi. "But what you showed me doesn't make sense. I'm guessing there's another part?" I stood up next to him. He nodded and closed his eyes. I followed waiting the next past he was showing me.
"I'm going to show you last month" Levi said.
Flashback
"Ella!! No! Don't do this!" there was a coven with matches and firewood surrounding the man named Rowan.
That Ella girl laughed wickedly.
"You're the last vampire in this history to ever save humans! I won't let you get in the way of the vampire nature cycle!" she laughed maniacally this time.
"Stop what you're doing!" a bunch of vampires surrounded Rowan and tore him apart and burned him in fire.
I flinched at that sight. Then, I saw one fellow vampire who managed to escape the…castle? That young vampire looked exactly like Levi.
"Yes, It is me" he sounded like he was confessing to me.
Levi ran at vampire speed but a bunch of vampires caught up with him. Levi fell on the ground really hard.
One of the vampires walked towards Levi. "Ha-ha-ha, you think you can out run me, pip squeak?" the older vampire bent down pulling Levi's hair. Levi screamed in pain
Present
I gasped out loud. "How did you survive?" we both sat down at our previous places.
Levi laughed a little and said, "Let's just say someone was good enough to help me"
I smiled at him and felt a little guilty for blaming him all this while. I finally understood.
"You think that Ellanor will come and destroy my coven so you came to warn us right?" Levi chuckled and nodded.
I gave him an apologetic smile and he understood." It's alright"
"Who is Ella?" Jasper asked.
I stood up and faced my family members including Levi. "Carlisle, I hope you agree with what I say"
"Yes son but I do get to object?" I nodded and continued.
"Levi had a difficult past and to cut a story short, his coven had rivalries. The other covens are covens who destroy vampires who don't feed on humans"
Alice and Esme gasped at the same time. Rosalie and the rest remained calm.
"Ella is the leader?" Carlisle asked. "Yes" I simply answered.
"Wow a female leader!" Emmett exclaimed. His mind had a vision where many Rosalies were dominating the world of Emmett. I put that thought away.
"Levi came to find us. He thinks we are their next target so he came to warn us but he didn't know how to break the news to us"
"No wonder your future kept changing recently" Alice turned to Levi and then back to me to continue.
"So in future, we need to keep an eye out and stick together. I'm suggesting that we took a family trip, including Levi and Bella" Levi's face enlightened immediately. "You take me as family?" He asked.
"Yes and if you want to stay, you may" I answered. Carlisle stood up next to me.
"A trip? How about school? And I don't think Charlie would allow Bella to go on a trip with us"
"She has to come. I don't care. She is priority Carlisle" He understood me well and sighed. Alice giggled beside me. "Leave Charlie to me" she grinned widely.
"So it's settled just like that?" Rosalie finally spoke. "We're going to leave town again?" she glared.
"No, it's until that coven leaves this continent for that matter" Levi added.
"Alright then! Where are we going?" Emmett jumped up and down excitingly.
"I'll leave that to Esme. We start moving as soon as we can. For now, everything is back to normal?" I leaned to Rosalie across the table.
She took a step back and walked up to her room. Emmett followed behind her. "Don't worry, I'll talk to her"
Everyone else left the dining room leaving me, Carlisle and Levi. The three of us just stood there; in the silence; not knowing what to say.
"I'm sorry Carlisle if you think I'm exaggerating. I just want to keep this family safe"
"I understand Edward but there can be other ways. Don't bring Bella into this. If the coven never saw Bella, they will never know she exists!" Carlisle patted my shoulder. He was right. Why am I so selfish to bring Bella into this mess? I just want her to be by my side even if I will be ripped to shreds. No, I can't harm her anymore. This time I'll ask her. Everything is up to her. She will decide everything.
"I get it, Carly" I grimaced and walked to the living room. I heard Levi saying to Carlisle.
"Sorry to expose that to your family Carlisle" Levi told him.
I heard Carlisle laughed and I walked to my room. I turned on my radio and inserted a disc into it. The song was a sonata by old composers.
Suddenly, I heard muffled footsteps outside my window. I tried to hear more carefully and I heard a heartbeat.
A human spying on the Cullen's? I sat still on my sofa and tried to smell for a scent. The human was getting closer and climbing towards my window. I sniff the scent in the air. It was really familiar. The person was approaching now. I walked towards the window and look at the figure. Wait…
"Bella?"
