I'm sorry I haven't posted in forever! However, I started college and a job so I've been very, very, very busy. I will try and update more often at least once or twice a month. Also please check out my other story A Second Chance, as well as my one shot I Placed the World in Rain which might eventually become a bit more than a one shot, however no promises. Please review I would really appreciate it!

Warning: Characters are out of Character to some extent, most specifically Bella.

Meeting the Family-

EPOV:

I leaned against the side of my Volvo waiting for Bella to come out and meet me, it was Friday and we wouldn't get another chance to see each other this weekend. So I would have to wait until Monday. Apparently her powers were off, whatever that meant. I was determined to find out as much as I could about her long past, especially seeing as we had at least two things in common. Both of us were murderers and both of us were exempt from death. I wondered at the cause of her immortality. What made it possible; she said she was the youngest in her family then where were they? I heard her footsteps coming toward me and I looked up she rolled her eyes at me as I stood up straight and opened the door for her. If she was as old as she said she was than she would definitely appreciate the chivalry. She sat down and I closed the door. Moving as quickly as I could to sit beside her in the driver's seat, I turned the key in the ignition and pressed my foot into the gas. "So I was thinking, now that you and I know our biggest secret we should know the rest there is to know about one another."

"I don't see how that's fare there is so much more to know about me than you Edward." Bella was doing something with her hands I saw sparks pop and crackle out of the corner of my eye. I looked at her she seemed to be starring at them almost pissed.

"Try not to blow up my car will you Bella. Besides that's the point with there being so much more to know about you. I get to go first in asking you countless questions. So to begin: What's your favorite color?" I decided to save the real questions for when we had more time.

"My favorite color really? Well…hmm. I guess, well I dress depending on my mood, and I can change my clothes by simply concentrating on it. Today I'm wearing black, so my favorite color for the day is just that black."

"Black, black isn't a color Bella it's the absence of color." I said with a laugh.

"It represents shadow and hiding, and today I really need to remain hidden." I looked at her.

"Why?"

"You see this?" she said lifting her hands as more sparks appeared. I nodded. "This is what I meant when my powers are off. I can't control it."

"So what are you going to do about it?"

"I'm going to the Shaman in La Push. Would you like to join me?"

"Can't, I'm not allowed on the reservation; they don't really like my kind up there. So what's your favorite book?"

"Roaming in the Castle Garden by: Rose Genevy. Written in 1632, it's a novel about a young man who goes to war and gets lost in time all the time remembering the girl he left behind. When he finally returns and he's walking to the castle he looks at the garden around him he notices that the foliage around him resembled many of the things he had seen when he was away at war. He began to wonder whether he ever even left. The girl did not remember him ever leaving." I knew the story I preferred the classics myself.

"I've read it, it's a good story. I personally like the stories written by Robert Frank Duprahn." At this she started laughing. I couldn't understand it what was so funny. "What are you laughing at?" I asked not being able to stand her hysteria, which was very cute, but still confusing nonetheless.

"I'm Robert Frank Duprahn." We had just pulled into the school parking lot.

"What, he's male Bella. You can't be, wait you're a writer? Is that what you are always typing away on that laptop?" She nodded humming. She looked at my astonished face from the corner of her eye smirking.

"I have written nearly five-hundred books, most of which are out of print, here in this world, but many of them still remain at the top of the Best Sellers list in…the magic world."

"Magic World?" I cocked an eyebrow at her. Her head turned towards my family getting out of their car two rows ahead.

"Your family doesn't like me very much do they?"

"Actually they love you; Alice is practically jumping out of her skin for me to let her meet you."

"Rosalie certainly doesn't though."

"Rosalie has her own issues its nothing against you, she's afraid that you will give us away, despite the fact that you have a Secret that is just as big as ours. She thinks that, because your father is the Sheriff it won't matter what we say. Of course the rest of us believe that you will hold our secret."

"Of course I would, believe me I know what its like to hide all the time, and to pretend you are younger than you are. I've even had to fake my death whilst making the people think I was the daughter of myself. Talk about dramatic."

"You can do that be in more than one place at once?"

"Do you mean can I clone myself? No."

"So what did you do?"

"Never seen together." She laughed.

"There really is a lot that people in general don't know about you isn't there?"

"I don't generally like people Edward, I try my best to stay as far away from them as I can. I've seen too much to think any differently."

"Well, I'm definitely not done with the questions, but the bells about to ring." Her eyebrows rose, as it did. I laughed at her expression. I got out walking around to her side of the car. It started to sprinkle as I opened her door. "Uh, oh," I said looking up.

"I'd fix it if I wasn't afraid that Mother Nature would have a fit with me."

"Mother nature, are you saying she exists?"

"Oh yeah, and let me tell you never attempt to mess with the weather on a holiday, that makes her the angriest." I couldn't help it I burst out laughing. She smirked at me and I put my arm around her waist walking her quickly towards the door.

BPOV:

The day was full of Edwards questions he was obsessed, meeting me after every class. He met me before lunch and pressed me against the wall, bringing his lips to mine. He brushed his hands through my hair placing his hands behind my head. I couldn't help but bring my hands behind his head. He pulled back when I did that. "Sorry, Bella I shouldn't have." I looked at him confused. He grabbed my hands from behind his hands pulling back taking in a deep breath. "You smell to fucking good, to be doing that." He laughed.

"Sorry, that's my fault not yours."

"No I should know better than to just jump on you." I laughed at that. "Let's go to lunch."

"Why your not eating, and I didn't bring a lunch today."

"None the less people will start talking if we disappear again." He was right of course. We couldn't have everyone gossiping. "How would you like to meet my brothers and sisters?"

"What, you mean like, today?" I asked a little scared with the memory of Rosalie in my head.

"Yeah, at lunch," He had his arm wrapped around my waist, as we walked toward the cafeteria.

"Sure, why not." I smiled up at him, though I really wasn't sure about the entire thing.

JPOV:

"Edward is bringing Bella to the table to meet us." Alice whispered just loud enough for all of us at the table to hear. I looked at her worried. From what I could tell Bella's scent was intoxicating and I wasn't sure I could control myself just yet. I looked at my beautiful other half, my pixie, but rather than the love I felt for her shining across my face. I new it was full of worry. "You'll be fine Jasper you won't hurt her." She said placing a gentle hand on my arm. Then I smelled it the same scent that had been covering Edward these last couple days only this time it was stronger. I looked up to see Edward walking towards our table talking to the brunette haired girl that he'd been obsessing over since we had arrived in Forks. I couldn't deny the girl was beautiful, but the fact that she was still human, it was a bit too much to bear. They were laughing about something that had been said.

"Hello everyone, this is Bella. Bella this is Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, and of course Alice." Edward pointed at each of us in turn. As soon as he pointed at Alice she was out of her seat. She had done nothing, but talk about Bella since we had decided to move here. The only thing she hadn't expected was the surprise that Edward had brought home last night, the fact that Bella was a WITCH. Though he insisted that she was a sorceress, I didn't care a witch was a witch in my book. It sounded like he was hiding something else about her, but it wasn't my place. I personally was on Roses side with this. Though I pretended to be happy about it for the sake of Alice, she really seemed to love this girl despite having never met her.

"Hello," She said, she was very timid, like she was scared, I felt out her energy and she wasn't scared. She was nervous and worried. Worried, why would she be worried? Suddenly I found myself concerned for this young girl. This child, for that's what she was, being only seventeen in comparison to our seventy, eighty, and in Edwards case hundred or so years. How was this going to work? Both Edward and she sat down. She didn't seem to be eating either. Why, didn't witches need food too?

"Bella doesn't eat school food, she knows too much about what goes into it to be able to stand it." Edward said before bursting out laughing . Bella giggled slightly but didn't exaggerate on the subject.

"So Bella is what Edward tells us true are you really a sorceress?" Alice of course had to be the one to ask. "I was so surprised when he told us I can't believe I missed that in my visions.

"You have visions?" Bella asked raising her eyebrows; she leaned into Edward slightly relaxing finally.

"Yes, didn't Edward tell you?"

"Edward hasn't really told me much about you or himself, he's been a little secretive as he's the only one allowed to ask questions today apparently." She added annoyance into her voice, but the air permeating from her showed that she was in fact amused. This girl wasn't normal, not like any seventeen year old I'd ever met or had the lacking pleasure of being around.

"So that doesn't answer my question, if I didn't know better I'd say you were avoiding it."

"The answer is yes, but I'm under no certain circumstances a witch. My magic is my own I'm not required to steal it from anyone else." She seemed very offensive about this subject as though she knew we all thought witch the moment we heard sorceress. Her voice didn't match this time period why? What was Edward hiding from us about this girl?

"That makes perfect sense. So you mean to say that witches take their powers from others."

"Precisely," Her head lowered lying against Edwards shoulder. These two were very close for two people who had just met. However, I guess that was to be expected from love. I wondered if Alice and I looked like that. What was I thinking, of course we did. We probably looked worse; after all she could be wiled when you got her started. I laughed thinking about how she had acted last night. I grabbed her hand rubbing it with my thumb and lifting it to my lips.

EPOV:

Looking through every ones minds I found them all reacting very well towards Bella, Rosalie was still a bit resentful, but Emmet was certainly pleased with her already feeling protective like an older brother. Alice was bursting from the seams already planning shopping trips and dressing Bella up. Jasper surprised me the most he seemed to be having mixed feelings towards Bella, he didn't trust her he felt I was hiding something from them about her. Which was true I had left out the detail to the fact that Bella was many centuries older than all of us; mostly do to the fact that she seemed to feel a bit self-conscious about it herself. Though what woman wouldn't feel off about their age when they were over a millennium of years old?

BPOV:

"You told them what I was Edward, I don't remember us discussing you just announcing it to your entire family. Did you tell them how old I am too?"

"No of course not, look Bella it was either I tell them or Alice would. She saw you tell me the truth about you because that's the same time you found out about me." What did Alice have to do with this?

"What do you mean Alice saw?"

"She sees the future, just like I can read minds, and Jasper can change a persons moods."

"You reading minds that's not too much of a surprise, I kind of figured when your mind pressed towards mine yesterday. When I told you the truth and I got that Alice reads minds she told me, but still she said she hadn't seen it. However, Jasper changes people's mood that's surprising. I didn't know you could do stuff like that."

"You felt my mind press towards yours?"

"Yes and it scared me, I wasn't expecting it. I've never encountered another person who could read my mind back without me pushing my thoughts towards them. If you can really read minds can you read mine now?"

"No, yours is the only one I can't read, but for when you spoke to me through our minds." We reached Biology class. "So Bella what are you thinking?" He leaned me against the wall beside the door to the classroom. I smirked at him smiling.

"Not telling. If I wanted you to know I would share." I walked into the classroom whilst scooting past him in the process. He came in a few moments later sitting down holding back a grown. I laughed realizing that he held his binder in front of his crotch. "Having trouble?" I looked at him from the corner of my eye. He glared at me his shoulders hunched from the obvious pain.

"Yeah and it's all you're fault." He whispered so only I would hear.

"I'll help you just not here." He seemed to perk up at that getting that devilish look on his face. "Calm down don't get too excited." I looked away listening to the lesson, but quickly tuning out as the lesson was infinitely boring I began typing on my laptop that I had opened as soon as I'd arrived in class. I watched as Edward tried to move close enough to read. I moved it at an angle so that no matter how close or far back from the desk he got he couldn't see, but then thought against it and translated it to another language that I knew he wouldn't be able to read instead. I saw his face instantly become confused as the letters changed at the blink of an eye on the page. Even the keys on the keyboard changed, so as to compensate for the letters that would appear. I watched as Edward sulked and I continued to type with a tip tap tip tap clack.

"Urm," Edward moaned as I wasn't paying him much attention and he was obviously bored. I laughed at him, continuing to type on my laptop.

"Bella, can you please tell me what is the definition of a ribo..?" I answered before Mr. Banner could even finish the question.

"A ribosome is one of the RNA- rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis." I was looking right at him when I said it.

The teachers eyes widened I normally gave my own definition in this case I had given a direct dictionary definition. "Y..yes that's correct, that's the perfect dictionary definition in fact." I smiled. "Bella can you please see me after class." Uh oh why did he want to see me after class? My smile was gone and I looked at my computer confused momentarily at what I was looking at.

"Don't worry, he wants to offer you a means of testing out of the class, so you can have a free period instead he feels your distracting the class with your computer and you obviously don't ever listen in class you already know it all." Edward had leaned over and whispered in my ear with a smile across his face. I felt my body relax I hadn't even realized that I had tensed up. I looked at him smiling. Class ended not to long after that. Edward picked up his stuff and waited for me outside the door while I talked to Mr. Banner.

The next chapter will cover Bella's visit to the Shaman after all we really do need to help her get control of her powers.

The more reviews I get the faster Bella's powers get in check and Edward can see what she can really do with them.
