Chapter 11
JPOV
The emotions coming out of Edward's room is astounding. First confusion, then doubt, disbelief, love, lust, love, lust, confusion, love… that definitely has to be Bella. She's the only one that can go through that many emotions like that. They must have told her what she really was, that was the disbelief, but what is with the love and lust? Edward must have made up with her. As Alice quietly closed the door to Edward's room, I heard her making her way to our room.
"Alice, what's with all of the emotions, and why are you so relieved?"
"Jasper, Edward and I finally told her about her mythological past, and as I was leaving, they were talking about their little problem. I think that they will work it out."
"Think?"
"There are too many possibilities for this to turn out bad. Some of the bad ones are Edward draining Bella because she kisses him, he forgets about how fragile she is and breaks most of the bones in her body, Bella storming out of the room and leaving because she doesn't believe Edward loves her, she pushes Edward away because she doesn't think he loves her, she goes into the bathroom and kills herself…It's really hard seeing her like this. Some of the good ones are what I'm praying for: Edward and Bella just make out and reunite, they go a bit too far with the kissing and have sex, they just talk things out and start building up their relationship again, ect. What is he feeling, Jasper?"
"Oh? Um…He's hurt because she finds it so hard to believe he loves her, but other than that it's love, lust and relief.
"Good. That's good." And Alice put her head down on the pillow and shut her eyes, relief spilling out of her intensely.
EmPOV
Thank god that Edward agreed to take Bella back to our place, and that there was so little argument. After he put her in her bed, and kissed her forehead, we started to debate about just bringing her with us. The thing that broke Edward was the thing that is stalking her is hurting her, and we can prevent her and protect her from it.
I could hear them upstairs, and it didn't sound like a temper tantrum from Edward so we were in the clear, and nothing bad was going on upstairs. A rather large thump from upstairs, Edward's room, made me chuckle. What could have made that large of a thump, yet no screaming or raised voices pursued? They weren't even together for a day, for heaven's sakes!
"Emmett!" I heard Rosalie's voice scold me. "Why are you so distracted today?!"
"Sorry, Rose. As you were saying?"
CPOV
As I stepped through the door, I was attacked by my wife, Esme.
"Hello, dear." I chuckled. "I missed you too!"
"Oh Carlisle!" she sang. Something must have gone right today, and I could only imagine what. "It's wonderful! It's so nice having the family back to normal, and nobody is pouting or breaking things! Everyone's been in their rooms, strictly chatting, and the mood has lifted here so much since we brought Bella back with us. It was the best thing that we ever did!"
I'm just glad that for the first time since we moved from Forks the family was happy and content. It's been a literal hell around here since the move. Esme's been fighting to keep up with the physical damage control around the house.
"I'm happy too, dear. Thank heavens, or should we thank Olympus?"
Epilogue
A few days after the Cullen's came and stole me from the hospital, another newspaper article was released saying kidnapped. It also said that my parents were heartbroken. Yeah, I bet. They didn't care for me enough to visit me at the absolute worst part of my life; they passed me off as if I was no longer useable.
It also turned out that the doctor that I saw about the newspaper article was the one that was leaking information, because the conversation we had, word for word, was quoted in the newspaper. That was the main reason that they suspected me kidnapped. Oh if they ever knew. Oh, and it also says that the hospital found my razorblade stash, so they reassessed my condition. Now they think that I was definitely Schizophrenic, and that Edward never did cut me up, that it was me with the razor blades that did all of the damage. My apparent paranoia was because I was sub-consciously afraid of someone finding out my little secret. The doctors said that I fooled them all with my little scheme.
I had to go to school again, but Jasper forged my passports and identification so that no one would recognize me. I had to die my hair to blonde or black, and I chose both. I have stripes of blonde and black alternating, Alice says it looks lovely. Edward isn't too fond of it, saying he loves my chocolate color best but he has to put up with it, lest we deal with the FBI for harbouring a missing person. Oh well, you loose some you win some, I have Edward right now, and we love eachother. He actually hit me up with the marriage thing. I said the only way I would marry him is if he would change me. Guess what he said! He said: "Let me think about it." He hasn't bugged me about the marriage since I said that. I reminded him that my hair color would go back to normal, and no one would recognize me so we'd be off the hook with the FBI. He still wanted to think about it. He'll give in eventually. I went to Jasper the other night when Edward was hunting, and he said that Edward really wants to marry me, that he's just getting over his stubbornness to say to me that he will marry me, and he'll change me. I jumped for joy, and now I'm waiting for Edward to actually ask me to marry him again, and I'll say yes after I tease him about the stubbornness.
About the Muse thing…Alice made me sing infront of all of the Cullen's. They were mesmerized! I've been playing with my little toy and discovered that it's similar to the siren's call, that it's persuasive. If Edward won't change me, I'll make him, and then deal with his anger later. I think that's part of the reason that he's going to say yes to my deal. No body except Emmett messes with me, he'll actually plead with me to get me to sing him to do something to one of his brothers. Then he blames it on me, but no one will hurt me, so they drop it. I think that the boys are getting a bit jealous of Emmett's immunity. Edward actually dazzled me last night, and I accidentally sang him to walk into Emmett and Rosalie's room when they were…busy…and kind of…slapped…Rosalie's…You know what? Never mind. Let it suffice to say Emmett was chasing Edward around the yard, who was laughing like an idiot, blaming me for singing him to do it. Emmett got all the more enraged when he heard this. Alice was taking pictures of the whole thing; they are in the drugstore being developed as we speak. I can't wait to see the face of the lady who developed them, a naked Emmett chasing a hysteric Edward around the yard, one of my face; me glaring at Edward, one of Alice, who was almost as hysterical as Edward was, and one of Esme who was yelling from the front porch at the boys. She was five feet off of the ground, yelling about the work to be done on the inside of the house, which Carlisle would hear about, and one of Carlisle when he heard Esme's news. I don't think that I've seen him when he was hysterical like this. He looked around the house at the damage and told Esme this: "When are you going to repair the damage?" The next hundred shots were of Esme chasing Carlisle around the yard, and he was still in his doctor's uniform. He truly looked frightened. Another shot with Rosalie wrapped in the blanket dragging Emmett back inside the house by his ear, and another with me slapping Edward up the side of the head, and he actually flinched, and the last one was me, Alice, Rosalie and Esme sitting in the livingroom saying what idiots our men were.
My new life is making up for the hell I went through in the hospital. It's fun and everyone says that the family is broken without me. I cry every time I hear them say it.
I started a photo-album of every stupid thing that the Cullens have done, and it includes me. The whole family loves bribing me to make another do something outrageous. I've set up a business, and I have prices.

Life is definitely good.
