Edward was growling. His purring instantly got much louder and turned into a growl. His head instantly shot up and he was looking out the big glass living room back door. I opened my senses to see what was upsetting him. I knew he was extremely happy with kissing me. His mind was already silently cheering for the fact he had his tongue in my mouth. This was new, something that he could never do.
The way he is between my legs. His hips pushing into mine as if he's trying to keep me under him like I will run away at any second. As if that could happen, I wanted him just as bad as he wanted me. I wanted him to claim me as his. His mind was Chanting; mine, my mate, my Bella over and over in his me. I just kept pulling him closer.
I realise what is happening, we have company showing up. Not company that Edward wants to see. This company is here to break his family up. He instantly thinks they are here to take me away and they won't let him come along with us.
Edward slowly stands up and helps me to my feet. I instantly send up my Shield. Can't have anyone smelling me or seeing the real me. My family is one thing but not them. Edward wraps his arms around me from behind and presses his cheek into my hair. He wants to claim me. He is getting more possessive the closer the guard gets. His thoughts are thinking they are going to take Alice, Jasper and I away from everyone.
That's when I remember something I seen in Aro's mind. Male vampires fighting for the affection of a female. Before vampires have had a chance to fully mate if a male comes near their intended female prized treasure. The male will go crazy with need to protect what is his. No harm will ever come to the female and if harm does the male always blames himself and never forgives himself.
That's when I look at the rest of his family. They all know something is wrong. The males have wrapped themselves around their females. I throw my shield around everyone. Alec and Jane will not hurt my family. I won't let them.
Now I'm a little worried. They are hiding something in their minds from me. Why would 3 of Aro's Minions show up here for me? How did they even find me? They don't even have the Asshole tracker with them.
"So Miss Bella has found herself her true mate. Are you finally done with all this crap now and ready to take your full time appointed position?" She has the smirk on her face like she knows something.
"What I do Jane is none of your business!... Why are you here? I told Aro I would meet you, I didn't even tell him where I was, so how did you guys find me?"
"Not everything is about you Miss Bella" She bats her eyes at me and then flicks her hair over her shoulder and then continues "We were sent here for Jasper and his mate, Alice the Future teller."
In that moment I couldn't handle what they were saying I need to touch Jane and find out what is going on. I cannot let them break up the Cullens and I know Alice won't be happy there. They don't shop and you have to wear these awful red and gold robes in the present of the guard.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Alice's nose scrunch right up as if she has smelt something really bad. Then I look in her mind and realise she seen what she would have to wear if following them. She didn't smell something bad, she smelt a bad future. With that thought Edwards arms tightened around me. He couldn't stand the thought of that happening or the thought of me returning there either.
I try and pull myself away from Edward. He refuses and tightens his hold on me and allows us both to walk towards Jane. His thoughts are screaming at me "Bella I can't smell you I refuse to let go of you. I am going where you are going. I love you please forgive me enough we can talk and work this out. Bella I love you Bella. My mate. Mine, you are mine. I only left because I wanted you to have the life you deserved, if I could have given you a baby I would have never left. I promise you that one my love. I love you Bella. I sent thoughts back at him "I will not leave you Edward we will work this out. I really do love you and missed you these past years. It's been rather painful, and you could have given me a baby and Halfling. We will talk more later." In his mind he's whimpering. He doesn't want me to be in any pain at all. He doesn't like these males this close to me. He feels like he's in danger of losing me. He's made at himself because he didn't know he could create a Halfling. He could have given us a baby. A family if he had just have stayed married me and taken my virginity.
I need this information from Jane so we come right in front of her.
"Jane there is a reason you brought Aro's best here. Like really you were going to bring Jasper and Alice with you after you did what? Cause I know they would not have gone willingly"
In that moment I reach out and touch Janes shoulder she flinches and pulls back, but it doesn't matter because I have seen it all. One touch that's all it takes and I have all her information. The problem is once I have the information I know what they are planning on doing.
Edward starts to growl and pulls me backwards with him on step at a time, until we are one step behind and to the left side of Emmett and Rose.
"I will not let you harm this family" And with that I freeze everyone in the room. Something new I learn is with Edward's arms being wrapped around my waist and hips area he doesn't freeze.
And I tell him that
Edward we need to talk like this.
Yes my love, what's your plan and why didn't your power work on me this time?
Plan is they need to forget why they came here, and I'm not sure only guess is your touching me and I didn't actually mean to freeze your family I was angry and well my powers are stronger when I'm angry. I need to calm down before my fire power shows up.
Fire power my love?
I let the memory take over my mind when I first ask Aro for some time and space. Telling him that something is missing;
"My heart Aro it has a whole in it. I know I have to find my mate, that's what's missing."
"One does not know that feeling of pain of missing a mate until they have found, loved and losses their mate, are you telling me that this has happened for you My Sweet?"
"Yes I met my mate I fell so fast and hard in love with him….. Edward" I whisper his name out I'm not even sure if Aro heard his name but I know he heard the fact I have met my mate before.
"My Isabella if your mate loved or wanted you he would be here by your side. It is too painful to be away from your true mate." But that's when I realise something I have been in pain but I was a Human when he left. Edwards's pain must be much more. I know he still loves me vampires are unchangeable that's why even though he loved me it wasn't enough to change his mind about being no good for me.
The pain starts to consume me, I scream out in pain as if I'm burning. It's worse than when I went through the change. I can't stand it, I'm pulling at my head. The thought of Edward still not wanting me if I found him now is most pain I have ever felt.
All of a sudden some strength guard is being told to restrain me. Not such a good Idea, but I had no clue. I was angry and in extreme pain. The moment he touches me, I push him off me and glare at him. All I can think about is sending this pain his way. And with that he burst into flames. He's screaming and yelling for help. But no one will go near him or me. Scared they are next.
Aro is grinning like that cat that has the cream. I instantly tell him I am leaving and will not return until I have found my mate. He can call me if there is an emergency and he needs my powers.
End of Memory.
I'm taking deep breaths, even though I don't need to it's a calming process and helps me to regain control. Having Edward touching is helping regain much fast than when I do it by myself.
"Jane you will not be leaving here with them. You will not be breaking up this family. In fact if they all still want to go they are allowed but NOT ONE OF THEM WILL BE LEAVING MY SIGHT, until this little mess is cleared up. No one will be holding Alice against her will. No one will separate these mates from each other."
With that I look at the rest of the family.
"I can protect you if you come along if your within my sight at all times no one can harm you. I will give you my word that nothing will come to harm to any of you. It is your choice what you would like to do. I will not take your choice away with that being said. Verdict please?"
I hear a "Hell yeah" come from Emmettand then a "uff what was that for rosie" "don't get to excited not sure what she wants us for"
"The only reason I am offering for you to come along is so you have a choice in the matter. Edwards thoughts are screaming that he is coming with me no matter what I say. And I'm sorry but Alice and Jasper will have to come with me. But I promise the moment she stands in front of Aro and makes her thoughts and opinion's know to him. I will make sure they leave happy, safe and healthy. Along with Edward and myself. I do not plan on staying with the guard. They want me to stand with them as a leader and I do not wish to rule the world as Aro's thoughts so greatly put it. I will stop him if he tries that and he knows it."
This time its Carlisle that speaks up.
"I think its best if we all go and put are trust in Bella. She is after all our daughter" He gives Esme a sqeeze. "and your sister as well as Alice and Jasper are your siblings we will be following you and Edward. And I feel as if you and Edward have a….. special bond happening? Hmmm?"
Edward nods his head and his thoughts are telling me that our father "I love hearing that Edward our father, I have a father again and couldn't have asked for a better one after Charlie of course." Edwards smile widens and he continues telling me that are father is happy that we can communicate like that cause he knows that his family really is safe.
"Well seeing as you are here I guess we have no choice but to do things your way. Aro won't be please about this. And could you please give us all use of our legs back, I've grown tired of this and we need to make our way to Mexico if I'm not mistaken." Jane is getting cocky. I am going to have no choice but to take down them all down. Even Aro and Ciaus. Marcus can stay and I guess I will have to take a position and I will ask Carlisle first if he wants the other seat because of his compassion he will make a great leader to keep us all from getting power hungry. As these thoughts go through my head, Edward starts a conversation with me in our head again.
"Bella love I think you need to really think this plan through before you act on it"
"Don't worry to much I will, I can take down tons at once wait til the war fight there wont be anything for you guys to do, and that's when I will take these 3 out and head to Italy with the family and take the other 2 out. Marcus will follow me. Aro murdered his own sister, Marcus mate. Didyme. I will tell you the story later but she is alive and I can lead him to her, he will follow me and he will owe me everything. He will take his place by my side as a leader and rule better than his brothers in the name of his mate. Trust me I have had many conversations with Marcus over mates and he knows all about you and I. The story from the start, and lets just say he's the one that convinced me to go find you, that you left to protect me and give me children and a life you could never."
"Well I must thank Marcus, I owe him everything. We will help him in everyway then."
I start to speak to Jane and the rest of his family again.
"Okay Jane this is how things will happen. The Cullen's will be given time to hunt and gather anything they will need. Shut this house down as we don't know when we will be back. At least a month if not a little longer. You 3 will stay where you are and will not move. Edward go hunt with your family."
"No I will hunt when you hunt I will stay with you my love."
"Does he not know Bella, of your habit?" She is smirking at me knowing that I am ashamed of it and hate the fact that I have to do it. I have hurting people so I found 2 ways to keeps me for growing weak.
"Please tell me you don't eat people Bella" Rose is the one to sneer at me. I can see in her thoughts that she is extremely disappointed in me and I cannot blame her. They are all disappointed in me.
"Thanks Jane. No I do not drink straight from people, but I cannot survive without human blood I have tried. Really I have. I grow weak, very weak and my powers don't work right and I cannot control them. But I refuse to bit a person; yes that is what she means by nasty little habit I have. I drink predator, like bear, mountain lion etc. Understand and well I break into a blood bank every so often and drink blood bank blood. I have no choice. I hate myself for it and I try really hard not to kill humans, I swear, I have a lot of control over myself, I have to with my powers. I am ashamed of what I have to do to live but if I don't I have killed not meaning to because of being too weak. And I have drunk the warm human blood that Aro had drained into a win bottle for me. I don't like thinking about how he gets Human blood for me to drink, I just drink it and think that it's blood bank blood."
"What do you mean you grow weak?" Carlisle being the Doctor and knowledge seeker he is, he really wants to know for my health I can tell.
"Please just a moment" I looked over at our unwanted company and took away their senses. I have Alec's power only better. No black smoke involved. Instead I just look at them and focus making them loose control of their bodies. I am now in their minds and have complete control I can make them do whatever I want and before I leave I will fix a few things and memories.
"Ok, sorry about that but our company cannot know this stuff, I actually don't like the fact of you all knowing this either but well if I want you to trust me then I need to put my trust in you. That being said, Aro must never touch you. He cannot know this information that would not be a good thing." I took a deep breath to relax myself. Turning my face just enough for my nose to skim Edwards's cheek and allow me to take in his scent. His scent calms me to most and the fastest. I know from his thoughts he likes this and tightens his hold even more on me. If I wasn't indestructible then he would have broken all my ribs for sure.
"Remember I said I didn't have trouble with bloodlust it was my powers. Well at first I would grow very angry and well at first I only had a couple powers. Edward; Mind Reader, Jasper; Emotion control, James; Tracker, Victoria even had a power, the ability to escape and of course Jacob and Seth, Shifting appearance. Plus I was a shield already. For some reason I never got Alices talent, but I'm happy that makes her special, her talent can't be copied." I know she liked that thought. She liked being special.
"At first I lasted a long time, Aro's theory was I still had my Human blood soaking up in my body. I lasted 8 months. I then grew weak like I was just wanting to lay there and sleep but couldn't, I was so weak that Seth made me angry one day when he was told by his packed leader to go on patrol. He did at first then thought he would come see where I was and if I was being good and when he found me, he started pestering me. Then it got worst and worst and I felt like my head was being crushed and I yelled at him to stop moving and he did. His legs froze to the ground just like yours did. He looks at me and asked what was that I couldn't control my actions I was growling and snarling at him like I was going to attack him. I was standing there like I was watching myself and the beast took over."
At this point they were all really intrigued with what I was telling them
"Can we just say that thank good Seth heals fast and I didn't bite him because he didn't smell good. My beast thought he was attacking me. He annoyed a weak Bella too far. Jake showed up about 3 minutes into it because Seth was in wolf form so he had a direct line to the pack. It took Jake a week to figure out I needed human blood but we wouldn't let me bite a Human so Sam went and broke into a blood bank in Seattle brought back 30 bags I drank 22 of them before I came back to being Bella and realised what I was doing. I couldn't figure out how you all drank animals and this never happened to you. That's when I left the forest and headed out into the world. Didn't take long before I meat a vampire that drank from human and laughed his ass off at me for blood bank blood. He had no talent. Smooth talker that's about it. Nice enough guy didn't play with his food and tried to take mostly asshole if he could. He even tried the blood bank blood because he doesn't really like taking life. His name was Garrett. Turned his nose up and spit it out, said it was too cold and he couldn't handle that. I told him never had it warm from the person themselves so I wouldn't know. I think that's what help the most never tired it from the person so don't know what I'm missing. I'm ashamed just so you all know remember that. Garrett at that point told me about Aro and all his knowledge and he might be able to help me and I remembered all Edward had said about them. So I figured why not maybe they can help me out. I really was scared to try and track all of you. So I showed up there and well in and instant I gained so many powers I didn't know what to do with them. Jane here hates me cause I'm the only person the confounds her. Jane and Alec are in general very angry people and I have learned the Aro allows Jane to make choices and I can tell they really didn't expect me to be here, Aro suspects I'm protecting you 2 for some reason. He did not know you are a Cullen. He thinks you use the Whitlock name mostly. We will do what we have to and I think taking down the guard right after the war will be a must. So with that being said please go pack and lets get a move on this show."
I turned back to our guess and released them and said sweetly to them.
"Lets get a move on this we need to stop these war games and get to Italy right away."
"Ladies a back pack full is all that you are allowed I mean it when I say we are running most of the way the guard doesn't use vehicles."
With that we left forks and started running towards Mexico. I sure hope Jasper knows where Maria likes to hide because I want this to be as clean as possible. Yeah right, I am about to take down the guard. This will not be Mess Less at all. With that I squeeze Edwards hand and run faster toward our future weather it's good or bad we are in it together.
I just hope I get to claim him soon.
I do not own Twilight. I'm not sure when I will update this story again. I am working on 2 others one I am starting to post and one I'm not ready to yet but check out my other stuff.. Thank you read and review.
