Chapter 6
My love for you
Edward's POV
I stared at Bella while we were introduced to her new family, hating every passing second. I had to speak to her, not the others. Her.
Finally the others engaged different members of Bella's new family, so I stepped forward to meet her, watching her eyes contemplate my every move. She was so much steadier, an analyst THEN a person to act. So much more wise. I almost saddened at how much she must have changed. But it was my fault, and I would always love her no matter the price in which I had left her.

I warily watched my former love approach me, I had to be strong, I had to show my status as Queen.
"Good evening, Edward," I said in a cold, crisp voice. The voice of a queen, I thought.
He looked up at me through anguished eyes.
"Your Majesty," He nodded once in respect.
That was when Alice came bouncing to his side.
"Bella-" And then Eleanor interrupted her conversation with Carlisle and Esme to help me out.
Her eyes flashed to mine, searching for a story, I gladly thought it out to her, ONE of her talents is mind reading, or telepathy, but she can control when to listen and who to listen to.
"Queen Isabella" she said, stressing my new name, my title.
"Well, fine, then, Queen Isabella, your majesty, its so great to see you, I have to take you shopping one day, this gown is much too plain for a queen-" My eyes interrupted this time, staring at her with only coldness in them. Strangely enough, my hatred was for her right now and not for Edward. I no longer loved any of the Cullens, or so I thought, but I had grown to not precisely hate them but to more of accept their choice. And the most peculiar thing is why I hated her. Firstly, HOW DARE SHE SAY MY NEW NAME AS THOUGH SHE MOCKED ME?? secondly, did she honestly think I had time to shop?! Most of my clothes were given to me, and thirdly, this dress in particular was one that Eleanor made for me. Yes, she can make very nice clothes in fact, not woolly horrible barf granny clothes but clothes you would normally see on the racks of famous designers. This dress, however, was a special gift from her – the gift was, in fact, the dress she had given me after she had taken me under her wing, the dress she had given me to proclaim me her immortal daughter – and it was my favourite item of clothing in the whole world.
"I'm afraid that her majesty has many important subjects to attend to, and unfortunately she can't spend more time with some than others. I'm sure you understand," Eleanor said, receiving a nod from Carlisle.
After that a load of other vampiric families came in, including a 20-year-old-when-turned-vampire-man who liked teenage girls a little tooooo much and who (he actually said this) planned on turning 4 gorgeous teenage girls for his own "harem", he even flirted with me, inviting me to join it and get this, he actually expected me to say YES. Honestly, siiiccckkkoo. Anywho APART from him, there were lots of nice vampires who were very agree-able and who I found completely lovely, a few vampire-human couples who had a relationship like mine and Edward's had been. I always smiled when I looked at them, glad that some vampires had already taken a non-completely-creepy approach to the advantages of my HUMAN RULE. Aka, you love someone and know they won't give us away, you tell them and its your and your human partner's choice as to whether you turn them or not. However, if they do tell we will have to get rid of them. By death or turning, I don't want to, but I have to protect my own kind.
After a while I was able to retire to my chamber. I don't sleep in it, but its a place I like to be when I'm moping. Today was horrible. I mean, it wasn't even just meeting the Cullens again, I just couldn't get that pervert's face out of my head when he had suggested I leave my little spotlight to have fun with him in a closet. Ugh, in your undead dreams, buddy. He was going to be tough, little a weed in my field of nice, loyal, good roses. Better yet the Athletics tournament was tomorrow and I had to kiss the male winners, ugh. Yep, tomorrow was going to be a very long day.
Alice's POV
I stared out of the car window, unable to get Bella's cold, hard, but so beautiful immortal face out of my head. There was nothing I could have done to perfect her. She was a goddess among us as an immortal. I knew we shouldn't have left! Mind you, I thought she'd died 200 years ago. That's the strange thing. I can't see her. I tried today when she was bold as brass in front of me, and zip. Nothing. Caput. Not even a glimpse. Worse yet was how she was with Edward. The alarming thing was her calmness, I expected her to be into his arms when we went off to chat with other people or kill him on the spot. But she just looked at him with those beautiful, cold eyes, she didn't even seem sad or angry, or even happy. I would have hoped she would be happy to see me, I mean, she was and will always be my best friend. Especially since Rose has gone, I need a new shopping and dress-up partner. I know! I'll drop by again tomorrow and invite her out. It'll be like before, happy teenage-turned vampires who are setting themselves free from the struggles of battling our thirst! We'll be crusaders in the battle against human-drinkers and bad-hair-days. It'll be perfect, and I'll play matchmaker again for Edward and Bella, they'll fall head-over-heels for each other, naturally, and I'll finally have my old friend back. And my doll.
AUTHORS NOTE
Okay, I know this is short but I've been really, really busy and I promise another longer chapter tomorrow. I am also putting some links to the dresses on my profile, but I have to find some I think fit my image best first, so if any of you know some good dress websites, please tell me so I can have a look. Thanks, everyone,bye for now!
