Hi everyone, thanks for all the reviews, Alerts, and Favorites; seeing all of those just makes my day. I'm glad you all are liking this story.

Now I hope you all are ready to learn some new stuff about this Bella. I'm really excited to finally get to this information. Your questions are going to slowly start to get answered.

So let's go ahead and jump right into the next chapter.

Chapter 7

The day after the crash was difficult to say the least. I had been right with my belief that there would be some unpleasant repercussions resulting because of the crash.

Charlie had woken me up for the second time in a row. "Bella you need to get up, now." His voice, which was low enough not to wake the girls was ringing with urgency.

I sat up and rubbed sleep out of my eyes. "What is it dad?"

He handed me a circular device that I recognized as my information box. The small hand held device tracked everything from my health to the changes caused by the transition.

"You're up six percent." Charlie nervously told me.

My eyes widened in shock. I had known the incident with the van would cause my transition to speed up, but I hadn't expected it to jump that much. "That can't be possible?"

Charlie's worried face was all I needed to see to know it was true. I quickly checked my percentage. I was now at a grand total of thirty nine point eight percent. Well below what the average seventeen year old transitional should be at, but it was higher than what I wanted to be at. I was trying to extend my transition as long as I could. I needed the extra time so I could have my powers under control before the transition was complete.

"Bells, that's not the only problem."

Of course it wasn't. I met Charlie's eyes. He was upset. "We have some unwanted guests in Forks," He told me.

My eyes narrowed; his words clicked in my mind and I understood. "Tyler's van didn't hit any ice in the parking lot, did it?"

He shook his head. "The Hunters took over the car, Tyler didn't have control over it."

I climbed out of bed and grabbed my ring. I didn't want Alice to see any of this. "It didn't take long for the Hunters to find me." I hadn't expected it to take them long. They had to know after attacking in Phoenix that the only place I could go was Forks.

"It was actually a rather clever idea." I was appalled by Charlie's comment. He raised his hands in a calm gesture and explained. "Just think about it Bells. The Undermining can't find you here in Washington. The Hunters have no competition now."

It made sense. "They don't have to worry about the Undermining interfering at all."

"You're going to have to be extra careful Bells. The Hunters don't follow any rules." Charlie warned me, just like the over protected dad he was.

I knew the Hunters very well, he didn't need to remind me. I had to follow all the rules, while they followed none. They would willingly expose themselves as long as they got the kill. I was going to have to be extra careful, since I wasn't strong enough to take out a hunter, and I didn't have anyone able to help me, who could.

Charlie's sigh entered my thoughts and I met his gaze. "I want you to check your energy levels. If they're below normal, I'm taking you to school," he told me.

And of course they were. So there I was being dropped off at school by my dad. At least we weren't in the cruiser.

The one plus side to the day was also one of my biggest problems. It was just like the first week of school again, just times that by ten. Everyone wanted to talk to me, see if I was okay, and wanting to know how Anna and I survived. Naturally without missing a step I told them Edward and Rosalie pulled us out of the way.

It was well beyond annoying, but it kept the Cullens away from me. Everywhere we went people followed us around. Tyler was constantly at my side trying to make amends. He carried Cissy for me, earning him a death glare from Anna, which he ignored.

By lunch time I was ready to snap, but I couldn't, because if I snapped, so would Anna.

Angela sensed my mood, and she had Ben take our trays to a different table. The empty table beside the Cullen's table, to be exact.

I ignored the five of them and sat down with my back to them. I started lunch like I always did, fixing Cissy Bottle and peeling Anna's banana. What I didn't expect was Anna leaving once she had her banana. She climbed out of her seat, and with her banana in hand went over and stood beside Rosalie. She grinned at Rosalie in a way I knew meant she wanted to be picked up.

Rosalie and the others glanced at me, waiting to see what I would do. Sighing I nodded to Rosalie before turning back to Cissy's bottle and my food.

Angela leaned closer to me. "Hey Bella, aren't you supposed to wean Anna away from being with you at all times?"

My eyes flashed wide open knowing exactly where this was going, and from the sudden silence from the Cullen table I knew they did too.

"Mrs. Cullen is a stay at home mom, and Anna already loves her children. She could be the perfect babysitter for the girls," Angela suggested.

I shrugged, knowing the reason I didn't want Mrs. Cullen to watch the girls, couldn't be part of this argument.

"I think Anna would like that idea." Ben pointed over at Rosalie and Anna. I turned around to see the inevitable. Anna was sitting in Rosalie's lap, eating bits and pieces of everyone's lunch. She reached for a chip from a bag in front of Emmett and he moved it away from her teasingly. She pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. He laughed and placed the bag on Rosalie's tray.

My eyes unintentionally moved over to Edward. I understood why after meeting his eyes; he had been staring at me. Cissy's bottle let me know it was ready, giving me the help I needed to look away from Edward.

Thankfully Angela changed the subject, talking about school work during the rest of lunch.

Five minutes before the bell ending lunch, would ring, I picked up our stuff. "Come on Anna," I called. When I had everything ready, I turned to the Cullen's table and found Anna playing with Emmett.

I walked over to Rosalie's side, strictly keeping my eyes on Anna. I didn't figure they would try to talk to me then, but I didn't want to chance it, with eye contact. "Come on Anna, don't you want to make it to biology on time." She grinned and climbed off of Rosalie's lap, with Rosalie's help.

The bathroom was empty when we walked in. Anna pulled on my jeans to get my attention. When she had it she hugged me. "You don't know them. That's okay. They're good."

I knelt down to her level. "We can't talk about that here."

She simply nodded and we finished up in the bathroom.

In the Biology room, Mr. Banner stopped us and asked us how we were feeling, checking in with us just like all the other teachers. After I assured him we were alright he gave me what I first thought was a coloring book for Anna. It turned out it was a book of science experiments families could do with small children. I thanked him knowing Anna would love it, and he asked that we let him know which experiments we do.

The support I was getting from the school was amazing to me. The entire staff was so supportive, I couldn't help but smile. The thoughtful gestures like Mr. Banner's meant a lot to me and it brightened my mode immediately. It was a good thing too because my mood was going to take a nose dive later.

"Bella, Anna," Edward nodded to us as we sat down. Anna grinned, I tried to ignore the pull of the bond but felt myself nod to him.

To keep him from thinking we would talk, I looked away. It took everything in me to ignore him, it went against my natural instincts. I had no idea how long I could fight the mate bond, but it was clearly bad enough since I knew one day I would give in.

The little voice in my head spent the entire class period arguing with me. It tried unsuccessfully to get me to agree, that sense one day I would give in, why not give in now. My answers were simple though.

One, I was a transitional creature, in fact I was part of the group that was simply known as Transitionals. Not only was I a transitional I was a gifted transitional. I had my two shields, mental and physical. I was the ultimate defense.

Two, I was being hunted by two very different groups of people; the Undermining, and the Hunters. Both groups were equipped to take out mythical beings.

Three, I couldn't let the Cullens get hurt, or worse, be killed thanks to me.

I needed to stay away, keep anyone else from getting hurt. All I had to do was stay away from my mate and his family. Surely if I loved him, the least I could do was stay away from him.

Sadly Anna was doing everything to undermine my control. She spent the entire class period playing her memory game with Edward. She'd giggle excitedly when he'd guess one wrong so she could win. She knew as much about vampires as I did, so she knew very well Edward had a perfect memory.

I made a point of hurrying out of class all day, trying to get away from the other students; but I rushed us out of Biology purely to get away from Edward. The more time I spent with him the harder it would be to ignore him.

PE was a nightmare. We had moved on to Basketball. My team mates were smart enough to never pass me the ball, though that didn't stop me from hurting myself or others. I tripped quite a few times, and some of the times I took another player down with me. Anna had made a point of staying close to me, but far enough away where she wouldn't be knocked over.

Just like volleyball, the other students included Anna. They enjoyed passing her the ball, and watching her dribble it around the court. Every once in a while she'd end up with the ball close to the rim, but she never let anyone but Coach Clapp pick her up so she could shoot it in.

When we got back to the locker room, Anna was too excited about our team winning the game. She wouldn't stop moving, anytime I'd reach for her she'd dance out of my reach. Eventually Mrs. Clapp gave me Cissy and she took care of Anna. She must have realized that I wasn't looking to good.

I was sure my energy levels were dangerously low, much lower than what they were this morning. Charlie no doubt would make me bring my information box to school if my energy levels continued on, the way they were.

Thanks to Anna, we were the last ones out of the locker room. Mrs. Clapp held the door open for us, and we walked out, right into an ambush.

Edward and his siblings were waiting casually outside of the locker room. I glared down at Anna, who simply grinned up at me. They must have planned this during lunch.

Alice grinned at me, a slight hint of triumph in her eyes, as she linked her arm with mine and started pulling me along.

Rosalie took Cissy's carrier from me, and I heard Anna squeal in delight, like she was being tickled so I was sure one of the guys had picked her up. Alice wouldn't let me turn around and see though.

We ended up walking away from the parking lot, the school, and into the woods. She stopped us in a nice little clearing far enough away that no one would come upon us.

"Did you guys happen to forget my dad's a cop? This is kidnapping."

Alice rolled her eyes. "No Bella, we didn't forget your dad is a cop. Okay, I answered your question, now it's my turn to ask one. Who are the Hunters, and why did they try to kill you with Tyler's van?"

Shoot, Alice had been watching me this morning. My heart beat picked up, a dead giveaway that I was scared. "Why can't you guys just leave me alone? Put yourself in my shoes. If I didn't know what you guys were, you'd be keeping your secrets to yourself."

"How interesting, you would say that." Edward's words caught me of guard. "If we were the one keeping secrets, you'd be just as curious as we are. You would do whatever you could to figure us out. Wouldn't you?"

His eyes pierced mine, dazzling me. I struggled to keep a hold on my argument, but my thoughts were wiped clear from my mind. I shook my head in an attempt to clear it. "What?"

Alice and Emmett chuckled lowly, but not low enough to keep me from hearing it.

I was thankful when I heard my name being called. Charlie walked into the clearing and the five Cullens were surprised that he had been able to find us. I knew of course though he most likely had used the information box to pinpoint my location.

Charlie glanced at the eight of us, sparing Anna and Cissy a quick glance before turning to us older kids. "Am I interrupting something?"

"No, we were just leaving," I answered faster than the vampires.

"Hey Chief?" Emmett asked.

Charlie turned to him after sharing a questioning look with me. "It's Charlie," he finally replied.

Emmett nodded. "Charlie, do you trust us?"

Charlie was of course truthful. "I wouldn't let you stay in my town if I didn't."

Edward and his siblings gave me annoyed looks before turning back to Charlie, thanking him with their smiles.

"But you won't tell us what's going on," Alice said knowingly.

Charlie gave her a stiff nod.

"Charlie, surely you know we'd be able to protect your family." Edward's comment earned him a weird look from Jasper. I had seen that curious look before. It was a look of someone who knew something that no one else did, but he couldn't really understand the information he had. I had seen that look on Anna's face whenever she felt something new, that she didn't recognize. It made me wonder what type of power Jasper had.

Charlie met Edward's gaze, which we all were startled to fine looked exactly the same. The two of them were the image of protectiveness, a look that screamed, 'I would give my life for the people I loved.'

Edward all of a sudden relaxed, and looked a bit embarrassed. It was then that I realized he hadn't told anyone he had found his mate. Sadly everyone in the clearing knew now, and when I said everyone, I meant everyone.

Charlie turned to me, his face a mixture of anger, pain, and sorrow. When he turned back to Edward he gave him what my cousins would have called a Dad glare. "I'm sure your family could protect us, you most of all." His glare turned to me, but he continued to talk to them. "I need to talk with Bella, if you don't mind."

Edward nodded. He motioned for his family to follow him. None of the others wanted to leave but they followed after Edward at vampire speed.

Charlie didn't say anything until we were settled in the living room at home. "How long have you known that he was your mate?"

I grimaced, fiddling with Anna's curls. He glared at me sternly, and I couldn't help answering him. "The night of our shopping trip, when they brought us home."

Charlie scrubbed his face with one hand. "The dad in me wants you to stay away from him."

"I can do that," I hurriedly told him before he could finish his sentence.

He didn't like being interrupted. "But I know better. The two of you are destined to be together."

I shrugged, looking away. "Maybe, but not now. Not until all of this is over."

Charlie scoffed. "This, isn't going to be over any time soon Bella. Besides, Edward and his family, I'm sure they can handle this Bells."

"It's not their job to handle this," I set Anna down on the couch and got up to pace. "It's my job."

"You don't have to do this alone." Charlie tried to wrap me in a hug but I squirmed out of his arms.

I wrapped my own arms around me to hold myself together. "I can't let anyone else get hurt because of me."

Charlie shook his head. "Bella, family helps each other, and Edward and his family, their technically your family now. Let's tell them, they can help."

If I had an ounce of humor in me at that moment I would have laughed. Most dads don't talk about their daughters joining another family, or another family joining theirs. "I'll tell them when I'm sure I can't hurt them."

Charlie growled in exasperation. "How are you going to manage that? He's your mate Bella, you can't ignore him."

Well I was going to prove him wrong, and I did. I was able to ignore Edward and his family, for an entire month.

Author's Note

Question time. Do any of you have any guesses for what a Transitional is? What are your thoughts on the Hunters and the Undermining? Here's one that I'm really interested in, what do you guys think about the reverse of roles, how Bella thinks she's dangerous and needs to protect Edward and his family?

Okay guys I hope you like this chapter, sorry if there's any mistakes, I was in a bit of a rush but I wanted to get it up.

Bye,
