Chapter 10 - Circumstance

"Then we left," I finished explaining to the kids what really happened today. "I don't want you going after him. I mean you have every right to know he is but he doesn't know you exist. Well he might now."

"Mom we don't have any interest in meeting him or the people who abandoned you. You're our mom, you come first," Mason said strongly.

"He does know what we are thinking," Alice said. I smiled as we pulled down the dirt path in darkness off night. I turned off the headlights and let my vision take over as not to scare away any animals.

"I hope we get something big," Emma was jumping up and down slightly in her seat.

"No small game," Mason argued. "We'll stay out later."

"But we have to work on your sisters costume so we need to be in and out because game might not be the only thing roaming in these woods. Alice let out a small snarl. "Alice! Behave!" I scolded.

"No promises mom."

"Alright," I cut the engine. "Everyone out."

"Time for our rematch Mason!" Emma cried. They always competed on how fast they could catch something, anything. Squirrel population has gone down a lot thanks to them.

"Why bother I'm going to win," he teased as him and his sister went off.

"You have two hours," I called after them. Me and Alice were about to head off together when she stopped in mid step.

"You're going to get extremely angry soon," Alice warned.

"I wouldn't be surprised." I muttered.

"MOM!!!" I heard Emma scream. Me and Alice ran to where the voice came from. Our running was slightly different than normal vampires, we were slower but certainly faster than a human. Emma was down in a crouching position and Mason looked like he was ready to attack as well. Instincts were taking over.

"What are you doing?" I asked glaring at my children. Alice was pulling at my shoulder. "What?"

"You may want to look up." I looked at the forest and there were six figures staring at us.

"Bella?" Carlisle asked me.

"Yea, that's me," I said getting into my own defense. I was not going to bend. I've what the kids say grown a skin. I can be tough when I wanted to.

"We've been looking for you." After he said that Emma left out a laugh. "What's so funny?"

"You have been looking for her? Excuse me but if I know the story you all left her."

"So why would you need her now?" Mason finished.

"Why don't you go back to your house and leave us alone." my Alice added.

"Alright that's enough from you three." I debated on using their names I guess it was fine. Maybe it would confuse them a bit. "Over-expressive tonight I see."

"Just speaking our minds mom," Mason murmured. Of course they heard it.

"Alright I think we have some business to take of at home," I began to take a step back but of course the kids didn't move. "You're not going to make this easy are you?"

"Sorry mom," Mason said.

"Which one is yours?" Esme asked. I debated on saying none but I didn't know how they would react.

"All three," I answered.

"We really have been looking for you," Alice finally spoke up.

"Why? To come back and see how much of my life was destroyed?"

"No to find you, we know who these kids belong to," Carlisle spoke for all of them. Now I guess they might know that

"I just told you they were mine. They belong to me and no one else. Come on kids I have an article to write. Nice to see you again." I let some manners streak out of my mixing of anger. I turned my back to them and left them like they left me. But of course when I got to the car the children weren't with me. I did not feel like dealing with the Cullen's today. Maybe tomorrow just not today, it's just to much. I stared at the car door. Just fuming my anger.

"Bella?" There was the voice I had heard in my nightmares, dreams, and hallucinations. I looked up and through the window of the car and there he was staring at me.

"My name is Maria, that is who I am now."

"Bella," he slowly approached. "You and I both know that's not who you are."

"And who are you to about what I am now? You have no right," I stepped back but he came that much closer. "I really don't want to do this right now." I felt my back hit against a tree. Trapped. I covered my face. "Stop!" I didn't know what had hit me but it forced me back into the tree almost knocking it down. I dared to open my eyes and saw the area that had be cleared. He had been knock away from me.

"Mom!" I could hear my kids calling my name.

"Alice? Mason? Emma?" I called. The three appeared from behind the car. "Everyone get in the car."

"Wait mom maybe you should talk to them," Alice insisted. "They wont stop tracking us until you do."

"Not right now." I walked up to the car and started it trying to forget the scene in front of me. When they didn't move I rolled down the window. "Alice Jasmine, Emma Rose, and Mason Anthony get your bodies in this car now!" they finally listened and piled in the car. I drove full speed away from the woods.

Alice POV (Right after Bella walked away)

"She is never going to talk to us is she?" I muttered. My best friend just turned her back to me. The three seemed to relax.

"Honestly what did you expect?" the brown haired girl asked.

"And who are you to say anything?" Emmett asked.

"We," the male spoke up. "Our her kids and I'm guessing you are our fathers family."

"Yes," Carlisle stated. "We are."

"Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice," the male said. We all looked at him curiously.

"Sorry mind reader. These are my sisters Emma Rose and Alice Jasmine." Each nodded toward us. I guess it wasn't until you heard their names it just showed what kind of an impact we had left on Bella. "I 'm Mason Anthony. We are going to do this as nicely and "humanitarian"," he struggled with the word as if it were a joke, "as we can. Stay away from mom, she will deal with this in her own time. As for the three of us that goes for the same. You destroyed our moms life and you expect to walk back in? Come on guys," he turned to go and the girls went to follow.

"I guess we do have to thank you for something," Emma turned to us. "If you haven't left maybe our lives wouldn't be as good as it was until you showed up."

"Stop!" Bella voiced carried.

"Mom!" they all cried and ran away.

"So this was a bad idea coming here?" Jasper asked.

"I don't think so. But I cant see anything with them it is all fuzzy." I sighed.

"Like a radio," Edward came to the left of us. "Bella is extremely powerful. She was able to force me at least twenty five feet from her."

"You tried to approach her?"

"What else was I supposed to do?"

"Try talking to the kids," Rose spoke up, "They have to break eventually."

"How do we find them without Bella?"

"Maybe I can help," we all turned to see Laura.

"You're a little creeper aren't you?" Emmett teased.

"My job is to be elusive, kind of part of my job description."

"How do you always pop up when it is most convenient?" Edward asked. She simply smiled.

"I'm just a helping hand," she said innocently. "Plus I need to get to Bella as much as you do. Well maybe not in the sense you want to."

"Why do you need Bella?" I asked.

"I need all four of them. I want to help hide them. The Volturi is starting their hunt to collect all of the unbitten. Thanks to your extreme hunting for these four, the Volturi knows they are out there." The reality of what could happen over the course of the next few days hit.

"What help do you need?" Edward asked.
