A/N: To my guest reviewer, apology accepted and please accept mine in return. The bit that boiled my blood was not about my writing, but that you suggested Bella was Mary Sue, I will never write her like that, she's beautiful and clever in this one, yes, but not perfect! We'll leave Mary Poppins as the only, practically perfect in every way woman out there. Wow what an x-over, she'd have them all behaving, Spit-Spot. lol xx


I decided not to write about their first time, so no lemons, maybe later. Couldn't work up the energy to say the earth moved, her brain exploded with the power of her orgasm, she's seventeen and if I can remember that far back it was, Meh! lol It's all little sections, to try and tidy up the loose ends xx Alexis


All the couples went their own way, wanting to spend what was left of the evening with their significant other. Emmett and Angela were going to the diner, all the local business' stayed open late on prom night. Being a small community had its benefits as well as drawbacks, they all knew what it was like not wanting the evening to end. So gave the kids a few more hours to wind down and have some fun, the coffee shop and the local bar was also open. The latter setting aside a room for the underaged teens, so they could play pool and get a soda, this was a well-established routine for prom night. There was no fear of anyone chancing their luck to get a drink, as everyone knew, everyone else in their small town.

Bella and Garrett wandered aimlessly, it was a pleasant evening for once and they just strolled along for a little while. Bella had come to a decision and had set them on a course for Emmett place. She was three months off of eighteen and decided that it was time to progress their relationship. This was a little nerve-wracking for her, but like every other girl in history, once her mind was set, it would be so.

"Garrett? Take me to Emmett's please" she asked and he came to a standstill, knowing without words what she was saying.

"Are you sure Angel? I don't want you doing anything you're not ready for?" he told her seriously, he knew if he had a heart it would be pounding, right about now, damn, he felt like a teenager himself tonight.

"I'm sure, I want, no I need you" she answered starting to feel unsure of herself in the face of his words, "Don't you want that too?" she asked hesitantly and he could have kicked himself for making her feel that way.

"More than anything Angel, I love you and I want to worship you, body and soul," he said scooping her up into a passionate embrace. Their previous ambling became more urgent and he wished he could just run there with her in his arms. The distance was covered quicker than they both realised and as he opened the door Garrett took her hand and said,

"I'm going to show you things and take you places you've never been, but remember if you want me to stop, just say the word! Okay Angel?" he said so tenderly, Bella knew she was making the right decision and smiled shyly at him.

She had never been in his room before and it was quite Spartan, a few books and some drawing were all that said he lived there. Bella was surprised that most of the artwork was her, but there was one of her and Charlie and another of Angie and Emmett. He was a very good artist and she told him so, as she took in the room and sat gingerly on the edge of the huge bed. He was trying to relax her so brought out the most recent one, he was just about finished it and it showed Bella with Demetri at her feet. Bella laughed at the composition, but was amazed at how he saw her, she looked like an Amazon, strong and determined. This actually gave her a little more confidence and she reached out and pulled him down beside her.

"Show me, make me yours Garrett!" she said with a touch of demand and he lowered her to a lying position on the bed half beneath him.

Things were changing on the reservation, Sam Uley had made a fool of himself twice. He was not aware who his opponents were either time and that had to change. Old Quill recognised both names but failed to mention anything to the pack, that was wrong and could have cost them dearly. What was their Chief playing at, he threatened the mate of a dangerous vampire, he should have been leading, not engaging in a private vendetta. But the biggest blunder of all was how did they not know, the God of War was on their doorstep for two whole years? Arrogance was likely to get them all killed and the elders were arrogant! They didn't possess, just carried the gene, but felt themselves above those that did not, as well as better than the vampires. This was laughable, they weren't better or cleverer, they were complacent and this was about to change.

Sam called a tribal meeting and asserted his right as the Alpha to control the pack without the interference of the Chief. He would listen to the elder's guidance, but from now on his was the final word. Those who were likeliest to phase were pulled from normal classes and enrolled in a new separate group. As Jasper said, the physical was important, but they needed logic and strategy too. So a new regime was instigated. He shocked the elders by pulling the females of the shifter families too, after all if Leah could shift so could others. He demanded the elders supply up to date information from other tribes. He wanted to know where vampires were most prevalent and by cross-reference could see if they were in any nomadic lines of travel. They, he found out were, most vampires used Washington as a gateway to Canada. Many bypassed the Olympic Peninsula, but many others didn't, although they gave the wolves a wide berth. That angered him the most, the vampires knew of them and they knew nothing! Because the elders didn't feel they needed to know, stupid old fools, how long had they planned on burying their heads in the sand?

But by far the most important change he made was that the pack help the tribe. Instead of them sponging off everyone they now had to work for food and other things. This had a much more positive effect than he expected, many older members remembered hearing how helpful the previous pack was and were pleased to have this reinstated. It helped in other ways too, the more they interacted with the tribe the more Intel was passed along, it was a 'quid pro quo' type of situation. Traders from non-shifter tribes gave them information in the way of scary stories, that they could see were attributed to vampires. He reached out to all the surrounding states, talking to other Alpha's and even into Canada itself to build a larger picture and a viable network that they all could use. His ideas were accepted gladly and a greater understanding came into being. This time it would not lapse into obscurity when they no longer shifted, he would ensure it, be making everything tribal law.

"I don't want to rush you Angel, but we need to get going! Your father will be home soon" Garrett murmured in Bella 's ear, they had been snuggling up on his bed.

Bella was content and sighed, but he was right. She'd not been looking forward to putting her dress back on, it wasn't really the walk of shame as he was going with her, but you know! Garrett jumped up and Bella stared at his retreating naked ass, she smiled and pinched herself, that man was hers and she loved the feeling. He returned a moment later with a bag and offered it to her. She peeked in the top and let out a gasp, it was a beautiful tracksuit in Silver and Black.

"I wanted to start running with you and got myself a suit, that was the matching ladies one and I couldn't resist. I hope you don't mind?" he said quietly and she too jumped up and hugged him.

"It's perfect thanks, you're a lifesaver. You want to put yours on and we could jog home, I show you the routes I like?" he nodded and only then did the both remember they were naked, Bella blushed and Garrett laughed. So that's how Charlie saw them as he left the Webbers, jogging along holding hands and joking with one another.

"He not looking fit enough for you Kiddo?" he called out and Bella laughed,

"It's never too late to start Dad, you want to give it a go?" she teased him,

"I'll pass Bells! I don't have a matching outfit anyway!" he said in an overly dramatic voice, with his hand against his forehead and everyone burst out laughing. Angela and Emmett were just coming out the door and only Angie saw the significance of her change of clothes. Smiling, she winked at Bella and that let her know she'd be getting grilled later.

"Well Angel, I'll leave you in your dad's capable hands and Emmett can jog home with me. He looks like he could stand to lose a little weight!" Garrett said and Emmett punched his arm,

"I'll have you know I'm the perfect shape for a computer geek!" he replied huffily. Angela mollified him by saying he looked perfect to her.

Emmett too knew what had happened, but he wasn't stupid enough to say anything in front of the parents. He knew when it was him and Angie, Garrett wouldn't tease him either, it was too important to both men to make jokes about. As they reached the cabin he just told Garrett he was glad everything went okay. He realised the only reason he teased the other Cullens and kept nothing he and Rose did private, it was just sex! He used it to torture Edward, showing him Rose's in a million different scenario's, he would rather kill himself, than let anyone see his Angie like that! That was why Jasper was so private about him and Alice he now saw.

At Bella's house, Charlie just asked if the evening was good and did it go as she expected. Not aware that it had a double meaning for his teenage daughter.

"Yes it did dad, better than I expected, but all that I hoped for," she told him kissing his cheek and heading up the stairs, happy with herself, Garrett and the world in general. Charlie looked at the coffee percolator then shook his head, he'd be up all night if he had any more! So he turned out the lights and followed her up the stairs. The next morning Bella was up bright and early, a little stiff and sore but thought the run would loosen her muscles. A text pinged and she smiled widely,

'Ready when you are, Angel!'

Glancing out her side window, which was now reopened. She saw him standing, waiting in his Black and Silver tracksuit from last night. She slipped hers back on and rushed down to let him in, unaware he had returned later on last night and stood perfectly still, just listening to her breath and guarding the most important thing in his life. Her!

Felix was having a ball in Anchorage, he had listened to what everyone said and was then introduced to Edward. He started slowly pretending to be just another nurse, but little by little he would when they were alone, drop the odd innuendo, for instance,

"Hey my pretty boy, why do you always walk around naked? Is that for my benefit? I like it, you know. I like it a lot!" was his first overture and it freaked out Edward no end. Then came the odd touch, not really inappropriate but intimidating all the same. A stroke of the arm, a rub on the back and eventually a pat on the backside, each time the touch lingering longer. Edward was feeling used and slightly dirty, does this sound familiar. So began his tapes, once he'd found the little bolthole. Now Felix stepped up his game, showing increasing anger that Edward hid from him and saying cruder and more intimate things.

"Why do you run from me, I own your soul you know and soon your body will be mine too!" or when he said,

"Thank god you'll be doing the receiving Edward, cause you ain't packing that much! But don't worry I've got more than enough right here, to satisfy us both!" this had Edward sprinting to his hiding place shaking as Felix cupped his hard-on, that Romilia had personally evoked before he entered the room.

Each interaction became more open and sexual in nature, Felix didn't want to touch Edward physically. But Romilia egged him on, telling him she would make it up to him later. So he started to squeeze Edwards butt as he passed him or rub up against him when he was aroused by Romilia, and slowly all this was starting to get to Edward. The never-ending tapes, saying exactly how he felt were playing over and over until he knew them word perfect.

"I'm sorry, I never meant to scare you all! I just wanted to find the perfect mate for me!" he whispered to the taped voices, as he lay curled up in a ball. In his mind, he saw every interaction he's ever had with women and now he saw what they were saying. He never tried to talk to or get to know them, he dominated, intimidated and overwhelmed them all, by his overbearing attitude. He used his vampire abilities against human women to break their spirit and now the same was happening to him.

He needed help, he needed to be saved, but who cared enough for him to do that? No one he'd pushed them all aside. He was the almighty Edward Cullen and everyone was below him in his mind then. Why would anyone help him now? In reality, only four days had passed since they arrived and two since Edwards torture really started, but with no sleep and the abilities of the vampire mind, it seemed endless.

Carlisle was faring better, as he didn't have anyone threatening him physically. But mentally he was slowly being tortured, knowing he was not the great Dr Cullen. He was a bad father, a bad husband, a rubbish friend and a pathetic excuse of a vampire. He was so busy trying to be human and fit in he lost sight of everything else. Mainly, he wasn't human anymore and really didn't fit in at all. He also realised Edward's problems were never dealt with by him. The perfect family didn't have a homosexual in it, did it? So he would rather help him cover up his mistakes as if he were a 'Jack the Lad'! Than really address the problem, thus making it worse. He wasn't just a bad father, he was a failure at it.

"Welcome to hell darlin', this is your new home. Well actually it's Charlotte's home and you will touch nothing, change nothing and ask permission to do everything. Do I make myself clear Alice?" Jasper was well and truly in his Major persona and he had come to the end of his rope.

Alice would learn to be a vampire and they would stay here isolated until she did. No shops, no internet, no outside interference, what so ever. They were here alone, Peter and Char were away on a nomadic wander and Jasper had all the time in the world to turn his human-esque wife into the vampire she always should have been. He like Carlisle blamed himself, never stopping her, never showing her what being a vampire meant. He had felt sorry for her, that she didn't remember her human life. But she had run amok and that was dangerous, like the finger biting incident, she never thought it through. Exposing them to two humans, as petty revenge, this was not acceptable in his eyes and it was time to take control.

In her wildest dreams, Alice had no idea what was about to happen, she could never see the Major's future. Only Jasper's was readable and that's what she clung to, seeing them together in the distant future. A future in which she looked different, not in looks, but in her whole outward appearance and bearing. None of her personal belongings came with them, no makeup, no hair products nothing! Not that it mattered, he'd turned off the electricity and water, they didn't actually need them. He'd told her if she wanted to wash there was a stream nearby, then the fun began.

"I'll give you five minutes Alice, then I'm coming after you! The longer you avoid me the lesser the punishment. Not physical darlin', but mental and emotional. You never wanted to know about my life, well now I'm going to show it to you in graphic detail! Now Run!" The Major ordered and she did. He planned to keep this up until she could evade him for a couple of hours, then it would be time to teach her to fight and to attempt to win. He arranged for other female vampires to come and spar with her, she could never best him, but them, one day, yes. Then on to survival skills and tracking, prey, humans and the enemy. The outcome is the same the survivor wins. They would kill no one but she would have to learn to follow, watch and gather Intel, without being caught.

The Major was training her like she was a newborn and would keep doing it until Alice could survive without him. Not that that's what he wanted, but she needed to be able to handle anything that came at them and still be standing when it was over. He had taken back his own name, no longer hiding in plain sight and many would come to challenge him he knew, so as his mate Alice needed to be able to protect herself and fight by his side, as Charlotte did with Peter.

The humans of Forks were looking forward to the summer, thinking it wouldn't be long enough. The vampires who once lived there thought it would never end. The only two not expected to change for their mates were Bella and Angela. The previous Cullens all had to change to some degree, Emmett and Esme least of all, Alice, Edward and Carlisle the most, with Jasper and Rose changing a little. Rose had blossomed under Esme's care, being given something to do and being treated as an adult was doing wonders for her. She held meetings with humans for their housing needs and then was asked to deal with the running of it, as Esme was too busy.

Next came interacting with the vampires coming and going at Carmen House. Either putting them up or finding accommodation for them too. For the first time ever Rose felt she had some real value and that her input was valued by her peers. When she asked Esme,

"Why didn't you help me sooner?" Esme laughed and told her,

"You lied to me, Rose! I thought Emmett was your mate and it was, therefore, his place, not mine to help you grow and become more. You did this to yourself!"

Rose realised she had been so busy acting the part of the oldest daughter and perennial teenager, she'd become it, in spades. Now she was treated as an equal and her opinion sought, she realised she was more than just a pretty face and rocking body! She had a place in vampire society and talents to use. She just needs her own dream and not Carlisle's to guide her, but what did she actually want? Unbeknownst to her, the future was heading her way sooner than she realised, not in the form of a mate, but a friend, a real friend who would help Rose become the vampire she should always have been.

Marcus had sent a vampire to see how the rehabilitation was going and Caius not to be outdone sent one as well. The young man Marcus sent was quiet and studious, but his gift was that of a temporary sponge. Only in close proximity could he use another's gift. Aro would never read him as he himself had too much to hide and as it only worked on a temporary basis he was strategically of little use. Caius sent their top female guard, she had been asking to travel and so had been told to do this, then she could have a leave of absence for a few years.

They were Ramone and Raven, a pair of twins who couldn't be more different. She was a warrior and he a scholar, she was strong, tall and with dark brown hair, he was tall too, but with a thin build and jet black hair. They were rarely taken as related far less twins and moved in different circles. She would not have looked out of place dressed as a soldier, he always looked like he'd left his glasses somewhere. But their bond as siblings rivalled even, Jane and Alec's, probably because they actually liked each other and respected the choices they'd made.

So it was with a little shock, that Garrett and Emmett learned from Esme, Rose was off on a world tour to find herself, with her new friend Ramone and Edward had an ally in Raven, who on reading his mind found him to be lost, afraid and alone in his own head, he thought they had pushed the boy too far. Raven wanted to take Edward to Volterra and into the care and auspices of Marcus. He was not prepared to take no for an answer and even his sister was apparently shocked by this.

When Esme tried to refuse he did the one thing no one foresaw and pulled out the mate card and that, as they say, was that. Rose, on the other hand, had clicked right away with the warrior guard Ramone, and the two woman planned to take the world by storm. Each had things to teach the other and a friendship that would last eternity was formed. When they asked about Carlisle she said Raven said he was almost there, only he had to sort it all out in his head and then take responsibility for all his previous actions.

A pathetic shaking Edward, wearing two sets of clothes and still trying to cover himself was bundled onto the jet by Raven and taken away. God only knew what kind of trouble would occur when Felix returned to the Citadel. But that was being deferred because he and Romilia were off on a mission together, that promised to keep them gone for a few months. This would, Raven hoped,give him time to deprogram Edward and with Marcus' help find him a job and a quiet place to recover. He would not be pushing Edward for a relationship for a long, long time.

In Forks, things started to settle into a routine now the others had gone, there was much hiking and cross country running for Garrett and Bella, computer games and choir practice for Angela and Emmett. Then when all four couples spent time together, if anyone mentioned the beach, they went to ones further away and made a day of it. Shopping was minimal and close by as well, no one was that keen. Bella and Garrett were always sketching, he drew them and she drew new designs, adding a gent's range with Garrett, Ben, Austin and Emmett as her models. Renee was all for it and told her to do some for slightly older men and Bella used her dad as her muse for these.

The summer was rushing by now and soon Austin would be leaving for college, but only to Seattle. Whitney was truly upset, but Emmett said with all his tech he'd make it look like they were in the same room when they spoke and that cheered her up a little. Renee had a trick up her sleeve, she intended the fall fashion show to be in Seattle this year and not Phoenix. It clashed with both New York and London, but it meant Bella's eighteenth was right in the middle so she didn't care. They never hired models to show off their clothes but real people, so to speak and real people come in many shapes and colours. This time she wanted Bella and her friends to be the models, also herself and Charlie if she could convince him. It was going to be their best yet she could feel it in her bones.

So as the summer drew to an end, they were all closer than ever before, with each other and their partners, They all snatched some private time now and again at Emmett's and he was only happy to oblige. He and Angie too had finally sealed their bond and were truly a perfect couple, everyone could see just how much she'd come out of her shell and were happy for the four couples. Young love was like no other and nobody wanted to spoil it for them. When it came time for Austin to go they all went along to help him and then had a night on the town courtesy of Garrett, they were now his friends as much as Bella's and although younger, quite mature. It was only two weeks to Bella's birthday, Renee had spoken to her all summer, making plans and the fashion show would be done by then all, including Charlie. When she asked him he laughed, then realised she was serious and thought hard and finally said,

"Why the hell not! I might even find me a good woman. What do you think my chances are?" he was joking, but Bella thought they would be high, her dad was a handsome man.


Jack the Lad! (British Slang) - a male who's a bit of a bad boy, or so he thinks. The typical stereotype would be a guy who walks about thinking he owns everything (tend to be rather dashing), and feeds on attention.
