Chapter 9:

Draco gave me one last kiss before he rolled off of me. He then pulled me into his arms.

"I think that was the best sex we've ever had," I said, smiling.

He hummed in response. We stayed curled into each other's arms before I rolled over to look at him. I smiled again as he caressed my cheek softly. I leaned into his hand.

"I wonder why Peter, Charlotte, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper are here," I said thoughtfully.

Draco raised an eyebrow and said, "You haven't been told yet?"

I got on one elbow to look at him better. "Has there been any time to tell me anything?" I countered. "No, so tell me why they are here."

"Your father should be the one to tell you that, Izzy."

I frowned and he kissed the corners of my lips, and then kissed me fully.

"Sorry, babe," he said.

I sighed and got up off my bed. Draco watched me as I looked into my bags for something to wear. I pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans, a black lace camisole, and a red shirt that went down to a V and had ruffles hanging down then hem of the V. I grabbed a pink and black lacy bra set and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

"You comin'?" I hollered over my shoulder as I set my clothes down. I giggled as I heard him rush to get clothes from my closet and get in the bathroom. We spent so much time in the other's room that we just put half of our clothes in each of our closets.

I got undressed and then set the water to the right temperature. Draco came in just as I stepped under the spray. I got my hair wet and Draco pushed me against the wall of the shower. He kissed me gently and I moaned. It started to get a little heated when someone banged on the door suddenly.

We jumped at the sound.

"What?" I yelled, pissed because whoever it was interrupted my time with Draco.

Narcissa Malfoy's voice drifted into the bathroom.

"Hurry up, you two! Breakfast is getting cold!" She yelled.

Breakfast? I thought in shock. I looked at Draco with surprise and he just smirked.

"I seriously need to get used to England's time zone now…" I grumbled. "Coming!" I yelled.

We proceeded to wash quickly and then get dressed. I finished first. I looked into the mirror, trying to decide what I wanted to look like.

I turned to Draco. Before I even opened my mouth, he said, "Malfoy." I smiled as I realized what he wanted.

I closed my eyes and pictured what I wanted. After a minute, I opened my eyes and my new look looked back at me.

"Beautiful," Draco commented, wrapping his arms around me and placing his chin on my shoulder. I smirked at my reflection. I flicked my now platinum blonde hair and put black and grey smoky eye shadow over my sparkling grey eyes. With my lips, I just put a clear lip gloss over my blood red lips. No matter what appearance I took, my lips were always a blood red.

"You like?" I said when I finished.

"No. I love," he answered as he turned me around and pulled me to him for another searing hot kiss. After a minute or so, I pulled away. He pouted and I kissed it away.

"Come on. I'm hungry." I walked out of the bathroom to grab a pair of shoes. I pulled on my black leather high heel boots that went mid-calf.

"Merlin, you look sexy as hell."

I smirked. "I know. So do you," I said, commenting on his look. He changed into a black shirt that clinged to his body, showing off his muscles, and black jeans. He pulled on a pair of black sneakers and laughed.

We walked out of my bedroom and started for the main room.

About mid-way, Silver and Nagini stopped us.

'Missstressss… the Massster would like to ssspeak with you.' They hissed in unison.

'Very well. Give me a moment.´ I hissed back.

I turned to Draco.

"The Dark Lord wants to speak with me. Go ahead without me. I'll be a moment," I told him and gave him a hug and kiss.

"Okay, I love you," he said in return.

I smiled. "I love you, too."

We went our separate ways. I knelt down and let the two snakes climb on me.

We struck up a conversation as I walked to Dad's room.

'Ssso, how have you two been sssinccce I've been gone?'

'well, Sssilver kept me company when Massster wasssn't here.' Nagini told me.

'Oh? And how did that turn out?' I asked Silver, slyly.

'Oh ssshut it.' He hissed at me. He was the only one that I would allow speak to me that way and get away with it, save for Peter, but that was only occasionally, Nagini, Dad, Draco and a few others.

'I'm guessssing from your reaction, very well… don't worry. I'm happy for you two.' I finished with a smile as we came to a stop in front of my dad's room. I knocked.

"Enter."

I opened down and crouched down so Silver and Nagini could get off. I kissed both of their heads before I stood up. I raised an eyebrow when I saw Peter and Charlotte sitting with my father, waiting for me. "My lord? You sent for me?"

He gestured for me to sit.

"You can drop the formalities, Isabella."

I sat. "She knows then?"

"Yes, Isa. I do and I understand the importance of such information," Charlotte said.

I sighed. "There were two reasons why I didn't tell you. One, I knew you would think differently of me and go all formal. Peter, I knew, wouldn't care, but I knew you would. That's your nature, to be submissive. No offence though."

She smiled sadly. "You're right on both things. I did think differently of you when Peter told me. But I knew that I would only have to be formal in front of anyone other than the Inner Circle. I just needed you to tell me yourself." She paused. "And it's because of my history that I am submissive," she said, joking.

I laughed. "That is true." Then I got serious. "The second reason I didn't tell you two, was because I was afraid it would blow my cover."

"Cover?" Peter and Charlotte said in unison.

I looked at dad. "You haven't told him what the bastard did?" I said. "Or rather, tried to do."

He shook his head. "I figured that since it's your story, you should be the one to tell it."

"Thank you, but is it safe?" He looked confused, so I elaborated. "Can the others hear us?"

"Oh, no, they can't. I have had charms put up from day one around this room so that no supernatural being, no matter what or how powerful they are, can hear us," he replied.

I nodded. "Good." I turned to the other two. "What I meant by 'cover' was exactly that/ I was put into hiding by mom and dad because Dumbledore tried to kidnap me to turn me to the Light side, due to a prophecy. It said that if two sisters were on the same side, that side would win the Final War. But on separate sides, the more powerful sister's side would win. I'm on the Dark side and the most powerful between my half-sister and me. I never will go to the Light, so in the Final Battle, the Dark side will win regardless of whom the other side has. I was able to escape Dumbledore and teleport home after reaching an alley, but my parents didn't want to take any chances. They sent Charles, my mom's twin brother and my uncle, with me to ensure that I would be safe and hidden.

"We took a plane to New York. We would have Apparated, but we needed to look and be as Muggle as possible. As soon as we got off the plane, my 'feeling' told me to go to Texas. My 'feelings' are similar to your power, Peter. When I get one, I have to do as it says, or else it will bug the hell out of me until I comply. So either way, I do what it says for me to do. When we went to Texas, I just followed my feeling, which is basically my verbal instinct and it led me and Charles to bar/restaurant called 'The Brewery'. We went in and almost immediately, I could smell two vampires. My nose is very sensitive to the scent of other supernatural beings. It's always sensitive in all of my forms; my demon more so."

They looked confused at the mention of my demon form, so I explained my three different forms and powers. They looked awed after I told them.

"Anyway, I followed the smell and found these two at the bar, drinking alcohol. To say I was surprised was an understatement. I walked up to them and told them that I knew what they were, still running on my instinct. Charles suggested that we take this somewhere more private, so we wouldn't be overheard by the wrong person. They took us to their house. I knew that we could trust them, due to my instinct, and tell them about me being a witch, but not tell them my real name. I had taken on the name Isabella Swan. We became very close. Charlotte was excited to have another female to talk, while Peter was just happy to have a pranking buddy. We did pranks on each other and on Charles, but never Charlotte, because we were scared of her when she got mad. Charles was always amused by our antics.

"We stayed with them for about three months before my instinct popped up, saying that we needed to go to Forks, Washington. They told us to visit whenever we wanted. We exchanged phone numbers, said goodbye and left. We arrived in Seattle about 15 hours later. Charles took a cab to the nearest car dealership and then got a car for each of us. It took about one hour to get to Forks with me leading because I knew what needed to be done. We looked at houses and at the last house, my feeling told me that this was the one we needed to buy. Charles put a spell on the town that made them think that we had lived there since I was born and my mom died while in childbirth. My age was then 16, almost 17, instead of 13 almost 14; I had brown hair and brown eyes in place of black hair and blue eyes and my body shape was average, instead of its regular abnormal shape. We assumed the story that we had gotten in a bad wreck that made us lose our memory a little bit. So that way, we learned all about the town without looking out of place. We had assumed the names of Isabella and Charlie Swan. Since we left Peter and Char, I had been texting back and forth with them up until we came back here.

"About a year later, the Cullen's moved to Forks and you know the rest of that part of the story. After several months of dating Edward, my 18th 'birthday' came in August instead of June. I was forced to accept a birthday party at the Cullen's, no thanks to Alice. They day continued like normal until Edward texted me saying that the sun had come out unexpectedly and he, Alice, and Jasper had to leave. At the beginning of lunch, I had escaped this one boy, Mike Newton, who was convinced that he was in love with me." I shuddered. "While hiding in the girls bathroom that had a single stall, my 'feeling' popped up again and it told me to go to the Cullen's house now. So I said I was sick and left. I drove over there." I paused to take a breath.

So far, so good. I thought.

"I drove up the mile long driveway and then walked to the door. I heard loud music and thought that Emmett and Rosalie were home and going at it again. I turned to leave, but my gut told me to follow the music. So I did and found that it led to Edward's room. I opened the door quietly and found Edward screwing Alice and Tanya, another vampire from a neighboring coven in Alaska. I took a picture with my cell phone, which I still have, and then backed out of the room. They didn't hear me due to the music. I went outside and called Jasper. I told him to get Emmett and Rosalie and come home. They came and I showed them what happened, but altered, so that way in case I had done any magic unknowingly, it wouldn't have blown my cover, it was hidden. I showed them the pictures and they shot in the house, while I just walked in. As soon as I did, Edward was thrown down the stairs by Jasper. He then proceeded to use me as a shield to protect him from Jasper. I told him to let me go.

"He told me that I wasn't in a position to demand anything and then called me Isabella. I hate it when people call me Isabella without me consent, save certain people. I started to see red and then told him to let me go again. He said no, so I kicked backwards and hit his nuts. I then grabbed his head and flipped him over me. I did a roundhouse kick to his temple and he was out cold. Emmett and Rosalie came down the stairs, dragging Alice and Tanya. They were shocked at how I was able to do that without breaking anything.

"I looked at the clock and saw that I needed to get home. So I did and told Charles that we needed to leave. He asked why and I told him what happened. He agreed and we started to pack what we wanted to keep. I sent you the letter, dad. You responded and then we set the house on fire after making two dummies that looked like us. Mine was in my bedroom 'sleeping', and Charles's was in the living room on the couch having 'passed out' from drinking too many beers. Oh yeah, Edward and Jasper came over before the fire and before Shadow, my owl, came with your response. Long story short, Edward came over to 'apologize' and ended up leaving in a hissy fit after me telling him that I was leaving to go visit my family on Charles side, which I did. Jasper came to make sure he didn't/wouldn't hurt me again. I told him to tell Em and Rose that I hoped to see them again.

"Me and Charles left. We came here and then Wormtail wouldn't let us in, although he kept hinting at me that I could come to his room and get it on. I got pissed and Charles gave me permission to 'take care' of him. So I blasted him through the door. I told Charles to wait because I wanted to play a prank on everyone. I changed back to Bella Swan and walked through the door. I walked up to Draco and kissed him. I mentally told him that it was really me and he understood. Pansy Parkinson, a slut who was obsessed with Draco, attacked me and called me and my mom sluts and whores. My demon came free and was about to Crucio her, but my mom beat her to it. She yelled, 'you do not talk about the Dark Lord's wife like that!' and then everyone froze. I had to use compulsion on the lower Death Eaters, in case one or several of them were spies of the Order of the Phoenix, and on Parkinson. On the lower DE's, I just told them that they didn't know that my mom was my father's wife and that I was their daughter. On Parkinson, I told her exactly this: 'You do not know that I'm the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange and the Dark Lord. You do not know that Bellatrix is the Dark Lord's wife. You will stay away from me, Draco, and all of our friends. Nobody will like you and nobody will treat you with kindness. You will not have a friend in the world.' She repeated it back to me and then I knocked all of them out. Then mom and Draco pulled me into a hug while I was trying to get to dad. When I finally reached him, I bowed and he told me that I bow to no one; they bow to me. So they did and I told them to rise. We ate and mom and dad told me all I missed while I was gone. Afterwards, Draco told me all the things that went on during school. I found out the McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor, and Lupin, best friend of James and Lily Potter, were spies for the Dark side. I was stunned and then a house elf came in and told us that we had guests and that's when I realized that there were five empty seats next to my mother. Dad told me that he meant to tell me earlier but we had gotten sidetracked. You guys came in and you know the rest," I finished, grinning a mile wide.

Char and Peter looked shocked and angry, while my dad just looked proud, angry, and proud.

"Any questions?" I asked.

"Yeah. How were you able to take down Deadward?" Char asked.

"I was able to use my levitation power to help me get more power behind my kick. Plus, it helps if you know the weak points on vampires. On guys, it's the nuts and the temple; on girls it the stomach and temple."

"Why the stomach?"

"Because if guys have muscles while human, then get changed, they harden harder than a rock. Girls stomachs are softer than a guys because they don't have as many muscles as a guy. When changed, it's still hard as a rock, but still vulnerable."

"What did you mean by 'again'?" Dad asked, pissed off.

I laughed nervously. "You caught that, huh?" He nodded. "Well, when Fuckward used me as a protection shield, he had his arm around my throat and was squeezing tightly. It made me get a very ugly bruise. Because I was in my human form, it couldn't heal, but as soon as I had got in my witch form, Spirit healed me. If you want to see what it looked like before, look in Jasper's memories. He saw it in plain sight."

"I will do that."

"Any more questions?" I asked.

"What did you mean earlier when you said that Jasper and Malice were 'semi-mated'?" Peter asked.

I sighed. "You can't tell Jasper this. I have to be the one to tell him okay?" He nodded. "Alice never had a claim mark. She didn't have a Mark at all." I told him. "That was the first thing I saw when I first saw her. The vibe they were sending off may have felt that they were mated and the way they acted may have been giving you the impression that they were mated, but in order to be true soul mates, you need a claim mark. Alice didn't have that."

He looked a little confused.

I got up and went over to Charlotte. I touched a scar that was where her neck met her shoulder. "Do you remember when she got this?"

He nodded. "The first time we had…" It dawned on him.

I smiled. "All claim marks are right there. Almost everyone gets them. Humans don't feel the pull as strongly as vampires or witches and wizards do. With vampires, it's like as soon as you see them, you'll want to Mark them. With us, you'll know when the time is right. When you are Marked, you are pretty much engaged without a ring. You can be engaged for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years before you get married, which is when you get a second urge to bite in the same spot. Everyone is different. You can get engaged and married twice; with a ring and without a ring. There have been some of us that never get married or engaged with rings, but have lived their life together truly married. If you get married with rings, it's mainly something for public to know that you are taken. With bites, you know in your heart that you are taken and no one can separate you. But sometimes, one of the significant others can feel the urge to make to official to everyone else. Also, sometimes, the male in the relationship will get the feeling that he needs to ask the other's father for a blessing. That's when you know that the second bite urge is coming up soon. The father will most of the time say yes and you get the second urge about a week to two weeks later. But if the father says no, which is very rare, you never get the urge and will stay engaged until you die. You can only ask the father once. Does that make sense?" I mainly said this for my dad's benefit.

He thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Have you been Marked?" He asked curiously.

I blushed lightly, glanced at dad, and then nodded.

"How many times?" I put up one finger.

"When?" Dad asked me.

I thought for a moment. "Well, we have been dating since I was about 9… we started having sex about a year before I left. It was the third time we had sex which was about a week after we started doing it."

"When were you planning on telling us?" Dad asked me, raising an eyebrow.

"We only found out about a month before I was attacked. I had read something about being Marked in a book. I asked Madam Pomfrey, the head nurse at school, about it and she told me all about it. She asked why I was wondering. I just told her that I wanted to know what it meant. I told Draco all of this and we were trying to figure out when to tell you when I got attacked. Then I had to go into hiding and I never got a chance to tell you." I told him. "Now, can we go eat? I'm starving!" I whined.

They laughed. Dad said, "Of course, princess."

We all got up and I stretched, my back popping all the way down my spine. We started to walk down to the main room, when I realized I didn't have my wand on me.

"Damn it," I cursed. They looked at me. "I forgot my wand. It's still in my room."

"Why would you need your wand? No one would dare harm you," Dad said, confused.

"Just in case. I may be kickass without it, but I would prefer to have it with me in case I either forget about my powers or cannot access them," I explained. "Go on without me. I'll catch up."

They nodded and I turned to go to the opposite direction. I walked to my room. I went to my wand's secret spot in the closet. I smiled as warmth spread through my body as I grasped it. I then stuck it in its slot that was against my right boot. All of my boots had this. If I was wearing a dress, I had a strap that went around my thigh and I could slide it in there.

I walked out of my room and was immediately thrown against the wall.

"What the fuck?" I yelled. I started to struggle.

Someone pinned my legs against the wall with their knees and my arms were pulled tightly behind my back.

The person breathed in my face and I gagged. Whoever it was, it was a male werewolf. I could tell that much just from its breath. Most likely a lower Death Eater who wasn't there last night.

The imbecile's hand pulled my hair away from the back of my neck and kissed it.

I struggled even more and he pushed me even further into the wall. I cried out in pain as he pulled my arms tighter than possible.

I faintly heard a slithering noise.

'Missstressss! I will go get help!' Nagini hissed in panic.

"What the fuck do you want?" I yelled.

"You." He turned me around and then pinned me against the wall again. He grabbed my throat with both hands and started to squeeze. I gasped and clawed at his hands. I started to see black spots. They had almost completely filled my vision when I heard the most beautiful thing.

"Crucio!" My father yelled. The man screamed. Unfortunately, his hands didn't let go, but tightened even further. Someone finally pulled him off of me, but the damage was already done.

I fell to the floor, trying to get air in my lungs.

I felt strong and very warm arms catch me before I hit the ground.

"Looks like… you were… wrong, daddy… someone… would dare… harm me..." I gasped, still trying to catch my breath.

Finally, I passed out from the lack of oxygen.

** So what'd you think? Izzy got attacked! Who caught her? Now you know exactly how she met Fucker and Char and also what she meant by 'semi-mated'. Tell me how you think Jasper will react and also tell me how I did. This chapter was longer than the others… 8 pages typed. A lot of this chapter wasn't written down when I typed it. It came off the top of my head, like the questions… anyways, please read and review! **
