Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight nor the characters....just borrowing their names for a bit....making no money from this..hope you like this long chapter as the ending?!

They see Bella

Edward was standing near Alice, of course he wanted to talk to Bella too, but he knew, he hadn't been good with communicating and protecting her. Edward's thinking had been,

'Just hearing her voice, would make him forget the quest of finding Victoria. To listen to her words would make him want to hold her again. He also thought any question she put to him, would make him drop

everything and he would want to explain to her-in person.

He was sort of holding his breath, as he watched Alice dial the number. He needed to hear how Bella reacted to Alice first, and he hoped Alice would break the ice for them?!

He was watching every move Alice made, he was surprised to watch her, he had never seen her nervous, for she had always been so sure of herself.

Alice was breathing faster then normal. She was still shocked that she couldn't see Bella. Her visions never once gave her this blackness, and now knowing the werewolves made it so...it was just

so...irritating. She was reacting with new thoughts/experiencing new feelings-how frustrating that 'she' was experiencing Edward's frustration..that he had-that first day of seeing Bella! To have both of them

not being able to use their powers to protect her-she felt almost sick-to lose her powers with a person she cared about. Alice also felt sad that she wouldn't be able to help fix things, or make neat things

happen for them,and the planning was part of the thrill for her!

How Fate got to Bella to be with the Werewolves that changed her forever...she wanted to go up to those werewolves and say...well maybe growl to them lowly, "Explain to me why?!"

She almost glared at Edward-..but a new thought came to her mind. Bella blocking them would make them almost feel normal-they would react like any human with no powers. So, maybe in a sense this was

a gift for them?! Luckily, she could see Edward being happier soon. She wished right now tho that Jasper was there to calm her. Would Jasper still be able to feel Bella's emotions? She signed...while listening

to the rings. She was winging it for the first time since she had become a Vampire.

She listened to several rings, but Bella's phone kept on ringing, and Bella didn't answer! She hadn't thought she'd have to leave a message but maybe that was a blessing?

Edward was watching her as she kind of grimaced. He had heard the message request come on and he felt that loss feeling again. He watched Alice have that same loss feeling on her face! He couldn't believe

he heard himself chuckle! Misery loves company? He sighed...again 'knowing' that feeling all too well...and he chuckled cause he also had hope..tho the look Alice gave him, if that's what the rest of his family

saw in him-well the look was an eye opener. At least, he could chuckle with sympathy towards Alice. He did feel better remembering Alice's vision of him being happier. It was a vision of him having more

happiness then he ever dreamed of having! It was a relief to even feel the chuckle at that moment.

Alice looked over at him, stuck out her tongue, and winked at him. Edward gave her that almost crooked smile. She smiled back and took a deep breath just to calm herself..as she heard the beep. She tried

to put enough enthusiasm and happiness into her voice...just hearing Bella's voice did help. Her vampire voice was beautiful..so Alice was excited.

"Bella! this is Alice! Finally saw your add in the paper! Smart move to put an add in the paper! Miss you Bella! Hope you still want..us?! I don't know how long you've been waiting!? I understand what your message

implies. I don't understand it Bella...I can't see you like I use too. I..we.. will help you with anything you need. You are a part of our family! You know, some places the cell phones don't work!? We've been in...the dead

zone areas in many places. Call us, Bella! You're friend Alice. Edward wants to say Hi...so you know it's us and not some prank".

Edward's eyes got huge and Alice giggled..but he leaned foreward as Alice brought the phone towards him, " Hi Bella. Miss you. Want to be with you forever. Call back soon!."

Carlisle said with very fast words- before Alice hung up." Bella, Let us meet with you. We have so much to tell you."

Alice giggled,"See it's us!" she giggled again,"Bye!" She hung up and did a huge sigh.

All hoped that Bella would call back soon.

------

The other Vampires who had decided to change, from red eyed Vampires to golden eyes, who had not met Bella with her bite, had also gathered behind them listening to the call too, and asked the Cullen's if

they could come too-to meet Bella?

The Cullen's looked with surprise and raised eyebrows towards them.

One of medic's looked straight at them. He explained,"We need to see the one who made us change our ways, for the better, and thank her..."

Edward thought to himself without Carlisle or Alice hearing," Gee, I thought they changed 'cause we were such charming role models.."

Another one said, "Well, I agree but I'm also worried 'for her'....we need to watch how she confronts a red eyed Vampire(s) come to her, what she goes thru, it's how her body's reacts to them we'd like to see!" of

course Edward growled and gazed at that Vampire. But the Vampire continued, "I'd like to see if we are affected too...frankly I think we aren't...but I want to know why none of the red eyed Vampires didn't tear her to

pieces..."

A friend of his jabbed him in the abdomen...looking at Edward who was very much glaring..

and the Vampire continued,"Well I do!" He looked over at Edward and asked,"Don't you?"

Edward just stared at him and turned his head as another Vampire spoke.

One of the female Vampires said, "Bella, might be feeling guilty, or scared, or been hiding like a hermit, we just want her to know she doesn't need to feel any of those feelings! We can protect her if the guard is

searching for her! The more that is around her the better until she leaves to go back to the USA."

The Cullen's discussed more ideas with these friends of theirs.

------------------

Bella had gone swimming, when Alice called,she was farther north, she had gotten away from Italy,and caught four seals. She played a little bit with the dolphins that came to see her. She was happy. She

swam back to shore, so her wet clothes would dry. She glanced at her cell phone, she was surprised to see she had a message. It had been so long since anyone had called her. She glanced at the time and

it was around 10 am.

Her breathing quickened and she pushed play. Her mind got quite still, actually, listening to the bubbly nervous Alice. 'Alice nervous? The Alice-that knew her!' When she heard Edward's velvety voice, she was

worried and beamed. Yes! Her plan was working! She would be with Edward and his family for ever now.

She glanced at the number and put it into her favorites and called Alice. No one was around her, she felt safe, and she would know if someone was near. She thought, 'better call now then later'..to

respond...dilly dallying, worrying, or putting off the words she wanted to say.. she might miss her chance..and that would not do.'

The phone rang and it stopped after the third ring.

Bella breathed a sigh of relief.

Alice saw that the number was Bella's. She heard Bella's sigh when she picked the phone up to her ear- that made her happy..so she said,"Hi! Bella! Thanks-"

Bella interrupted and rushed in with these words, " Alice? It's you! It's really you! I've been waiting so long! I'm so glad you called me! Alice...really(?) you will meet with me?"

They all heard the loneliness in her tone and the relief.

Alice quickly commented," Of course Bella! Are you OK? I will help you with anything!? Bella? Tell us where you are? We will be there ASAP"

Bella could hear Alice's voice turn away and ask,"Can we?"

Bella's mind was going a mile a minute, with a million questions, so she couldn't answer Alice the way they wanted her too! Bella quickly asked, "I thought you could always see me Alice? It's too weird, to say,

what my problem is. You will see soon!"

Bell described where to meet her and waited for Alice's comments.

Alice exclaimed, " Yes, we will leave as soon as possible! We are so glad you're close Bella. See ya soon!."

Bella sighed with relief,"Thank you!" and she hung up.

------------------

Bella hadn't expected the Cullen's to be there on the first day she contacted them. She was in the water with the dolphins that came to say hi to her, she watched the water sparkle on the ocean waves, the

sun came out every once in awhile from the clouds. She would come up from the water to enjoy the sun and the glitter look on the waves. The dolphins it seemed loved to see her sparkle above the water.

She didn't have time to get nervous, to wonder if the Cullen's would react the same way as the other's who got sick had. She had dipped under the water, right when she would have smelled them 8 miles

away, if she had been above water, and even thinking they might be arriving that soon.

The Cullen's were all in one car-driving faster then they usually did.

Thank goodness for Edward's radar warning- at that moment tho, no one was in the area that would have been able to catch them anyway. They had arrived, they called out to her, but she didn't hear them

'cause of the dolphins laughter under water. They walked to the cliff and looked down and saw her. Once Edward saw her, he thought he could hear her giggle under the water and he heard dolphins

laughing with her...

The dolphins sounded so happy with Bella around them. Alice, Edward, and Carlisle watched. The Cullen's believed she didn't know how much the dolphins seemed to care about her or included her with them.

They also wondered how she got down there, where she had been staying, and if she had transportation.

Alice was walking to find the easiest way down as they talked quietly. Alice finally saw the path that might work. She glanced at Bella as she made her way down, and she went down as quickly as possible.

Her energy level was on super Alice mode, and Edward and Carlisle didn't want to interfere with that.

When Bella came back up from the water, she smelled Alice immediately and looked up. She then saw Edward and Carlisle farther back and smiled. When Alice saw her smile, she ran and jumped down the

cliffs rocky environment, even faster at Vampire speed, and of course she was as graceful as ever. Bella could see that Edward and Carlisle were coming down to her-at human speed instead. Bella swam

back eagerly with smiles that were breath taking to see, the dolphins followed a little bit, until they got the whiff of the Cullen's, and turned away.

Bella could see Alice moving swiftly. Bella yelled,"Alice!"

Alice yelled,"Bella!" and giggled as she ran down to meet her at the break of the waves.

When Bella got within arm's length, she was watching Alice's expression, to see if she dazzled by her, when Alice didn't change her expression of happiness. Bell sighed, and was glad that her imagination

went ..just the way she had had hoped. Bella sighed happily and reached out to her, Alice gave her a big hug at the same time! Alice was so happy she reached up- kissed Bella on the cheek. When she pulled

back she saw Bella's scars...they were even more then Jaspers!? She was used to scars, so she forgot about the observation, and just was herself.

Bella noticed and smiled, yep Alice was a true friend.

Alice gazed at Bella's eyes and said," Bella your eye color it's beautiful what's your diet?"

Bella glanced at the sea," Seals and sharks...there are some bullies out there. It seems when I see the bully concept happening...I can't help it.. and I just stop them. The sharks and seals that go for the fast

kill, I don't bother, but the ones that play with their food..they are good for me to thirst for."

Edward and Carlisle arrived then. Bella looked up and was dazzled by Edward's golden eyes and his looks. She reacted, just how she had always felt, when she had been human, and around him. It seemed

to her time started again for her when they saw each other. The tensions she had had seemed to disappear.

Carlisle, Alice and Edward smiled warmly to her. They all did a group hug, Bella giggled, and that giggle made them all laugh...like life was finally going to be good for them.

She looked down, once she calmed down, looked up with a tiny smile towards Edward, She glanced at Alice who had quickly looked back at Edward and Carlisle.

Bella said," I wasn't expecting you this fast? Are you all ok?" She wanted to just look at Edward but forced herself to look at all of these beautiful Vampires. She continued," I am so glad you are not reacting the

way I thought you might?" She had a worried look and a lonely look at the same time. Then she thought, 'Duh, they aren't already in your hair, and they are keeping their distance....'

Alice said, " You smell nice Bella" She got close to her again, and touched her arm, " You're safe now Bella. We're here to help with what ever you need. Will stand by you, and soon we can go home..if you want..back

to Forks? Sure, some will see you are more beautiful, and uhmn colder, and whiter..but.." she glanced at Edward and giggled..cause Edward had sparkling eyes and his special smile for Bella was back-hadn't left

for ever, like they thought. Alice and Carlisle sighed with happiness.

Edward reached out to her and they went smoothly into a hug. They both said, "I've missed you."

---------

Bella whipped her head around, and saw about 5 other golden eyed Vampires up on the cliff looking down at them. She was curious of them-but that's not why she reacted so fast. She didn't see them as the

threat. She continued to move her eyes in the direction the wind was caring the scent. She smelled them first-before the Cullen's had. When Bella saw the 5 golden eyed Vampires- Alice got a vision + Edward

heard the other's thoughts.

This had not been planned by the Cullen's nor the new golden eyed Vampires.. The two that were coming. Edward recognized their voices, and was not happy.

Edward's wanted her closeness, he grabbed her hand, and they all turned to look where she was looking. So Edward was on her right, Alice was now on her left, and

Carlisle walked in front of Bella..to stand as one to the red eyed Vampires.

Edward whispered comfortingly,"Bella, it's ok...no one is going to hurt you."

Carlisle didn't want Bella, to know, he knew the two who were coming-tho he had been told it would be others.. He glanced up at the Vampires up on the cliff..they shook their heads meaning- they didn't no

either. Carlisle sighed and asked," Bella, what is it?"

He was glancing at the two Vampires coming closer...at Vampire speed. He got irked with their rashness...but he had to admit he wanted to see Bella's powers at work.

Bella glanced fast at Edward and Carlisle, and tried to smile-but the smile didn't reach her eyes." Two red eyed Vampires are coming this way, they smell old and powerful!, and out of control! I have

trouble with them."

They all saw her shudder, she got into defense mode, and so did they.

Alice was disgusted to see from her visions that it was Felix and Demetri. She had met them. She growled and then thought, "But maybe it was good, if they got

put in their place..especially Felix."

Edward heard Felix and Demetri's thoughts they were there to destroy Bella from Caius orders, and he growled. Carlisle and Alice glanced fast at Edward...Carlisle said quickly to Edward to stay calm.

Alice also got another image of Grey Beard following too!? Would they ever know his real name? He still would not share it..he went by Grey Beard because of Bella's thoughts of him.

Edward saw those images and looked down at Bella,"We're here. Don't worry." He got closer to her and wrapped his arm loosely around Bella's waist.

Bella looked up the golden eyed Vampires and they were swiftly arriving too. That made her feel better.

------------------

Felix was being his obnoxious, ego,rude self..and had no physical boundaries...Alice saw him wanting to breathe Bella's hair..She quickly told Carlisle and Edward. Bella couldn't hear the Cullen's mental

communication. Felix was very drawn to her, and the Cullen's could see he was trying to get to Bella. Bella saw Felix's eyes and wanted to escape to the sea. The Cullen's changed their stance to show her

they were protecting her. Felix tried to get passed Alice thinking she was the weakest link. He found no way around her, she blocked every move he tried, to get around her, and his eyes were going more

glassy black eyed.

Demetri was holding his breath the way Caius told him to do." He was so disgusted with Felix, he was so glad he followed orders. He could see if Felix was reacting he would too. He tried not to think of

breathing her. He ordered," Felix, Hold your breath. You are not following the orders. Felix!"

Felix was in his own world. Demetri came closer and grabbed him back.

Bella hadn't smelled a new golden Vampire coming way too fast and so close already to them. She thought her powers weren't working right. She turned her eyes towards him.

She heard a voice that she thought she would never hear again.

It was Grey Beard.." Felix, stop it right now, Demetri control your partner..or else you won't like the results. Felix you saw how the patients turned out, what Bella can do...step back!" He glanced at Demetri

and said," You are not going to get away with hurting Bella the way you were ordered." He tilted his head toward the other Vampires who were just behind him.

Demetri, Edward, and Carlisle grabbed Felix.

Bella had never heard such a growl from a Vampire before-Felix was terrifying to her. She felt if Edward and Carlisle hadn't been there, Felix would have been harder to fight off...she might have even been

pulled apart. Like usual tho, Bella's fears weren't reality. Alice presence was nearer now. They both saw how hard it was for Felix...Bella was so glad she was a golden eyed Vampire.

Grey Beard said," I can't believe you Felix, don't you remember-your friends? How could you agree to such an order? There is no way you can hurt her..her blood won't let you..." Felix then held his breath and

began to calm down-tho still glaring at Bella. His glare was even worse then Edward's towards Bella on that first day of school so long ago.

Grey Beard looked at Bella," Hi Bella. You look marvelous as a Vampire. I hope you don't mind me calling you my daughter? You really are my first daughter? I see you found 'your Edward'! How delightful the

Cullen's are with you already!"

Bella looked at him in shock! He still didn't have the beauty nor the dazzle the others had...how was that possible? What really was his power? He wasn't as scary, as she had imagined, but she wasn't sure

what to say...so she just nodded.. She was also surprised by his eyes too. She had the same color almost. Everyone could see that she was changed by him too.

Demetri still thought he could get closer to Bella and rip her apart. Edward saw that. He growled and said," No Demetri you wont' get away with that."

Grey Beard continued," Bella, I want to meet with you later-so I can explain some things, please? But right now, Bella. I want you and Edward to leave. Do you remember everything I told you during your change?

You remember where I live?"

She nodded.

"I have transportation there for the sea, take it...Do you remember where I have things?"

She nodded.

"Go then." Grey Beard glanced at the Cullen's. "I'm glad you found each other. I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect her better...I was caught off guard. Who would have known she had such protection! " He shook

hands with Edward. Grey Beard wasn't having to hold his breath to his Vampire daughter, since he wasn't at all now a human thirsting Vampire.

He shook his head.

Alice tensed seeing that there was still going to be trouble. She placed herself in a defense stance and so did Carlisle, the other Vampires got ready too...and so did Grey Beard.

Edward and Bella had already run at Vampire speed to be safer. Edward was following Bella.

Felix did a manoeuvre, he made Demetri, along with Edward, and Carlisle fall down on the beach. Felix jumped over the other Vampires, and in a flash of speed, he was near Edward and Bella. Alice and Grey

Beard tried to reach him too- but he was faster.

Edward heard his mind and turned around. He was quick but Felix was crazed, and a better fighter. For a second, he separated Edward from Bella. Bella by now had become better in defense and kicked out

at him. He got hit, but he was so strong it didn't' do a thing to him, he ignored the pain, and was on the other side of Bella and smelling her neck. Of course that caused the chaos.

Felix forgot everything! Felix had grabbed Bella by her arm trying also to rip her arm off, but his lust of her..made him stop. When Edward leaped, Felix fell and scraped Bella's arm in the fall with his fangs. It

happened so fast in Vampire speed. By this time, all the Vampires were near Bella and Edward, and they were going to see Bella's powers.

They all watched as Bella's eyes got dark. The aroma of her went from 'sweet flavors to wet strong dog' smell, and all could see her eyes going black and she bit Felix. Seeing Felix get bit, made Demetri

grab her in a blink of an eye. Her arm was at an odd angle, with him trying to rip it off. When he touched her he couldn't believe it, just touching her made him go all hormonal even with him holding his

breath. He was shocked.

Grey Beard, had enough of it all, and went straight up to Demetri and blew his breath into his face. it didn't matter if Demetri held his breath from Bella, Grey Beard's breath seeped into his skin and he blacked

out.

Some of the golden eyed Vampires grabbed Felix to take him back to be healed...back to Aro. Alice and Carlisle lifted up Demetri to also take him back to Aro.

Alice looked at Bella and she said, " Bella you're safe. Go hunt. Let Edward be with you. We will meet up with you later. Don't lose your cell phones-either of you." As she looked at both Edward and Bella.

They gave Carlisle and Alice a hug. Before they left, the golden eyed Vampires got to meet Bella and told her to thank the Ancient One for them. They all laughed when she looked so surprised. Alice pushed

her forward and said," Edward will explain everything. Now, that I've seen what you can do, we do need to make some clothes for you. I love this challenge Bella! Thank you for thinking of me!"She giggled. She was

thinking of fabric that would make it so Bella could decide when she wanted to show her skin so it was available to be bit or not.

--------------

Edward looked at Bella as they walked towards her vehicle that was in another direction then how everyone else had arrived-after they hunted.

He gave her a small smile and his voice was breath taking to Bella's ears, " I'm sorry you were by yourself when you got changed. We thought, if we drew the Vampires away from you.. you would be safe." She

glanced at Edward, he looked hurt. Bella felt surprised, she could see he must have thought she was reacting to him, so she took his hand gently, since she was still a new born, and brought his body closer

to her. " I came here, to Italy, to be changed, so I could find you Edward. I miss you. I want a life with you...but I have this problem now..will you want to be around me..will I cause more Vampires to come to

Forks?" She looked down, she couldn't believe she was so comfortable with Edward to express her thoughts so honestly. She had heard him growl, when she started talking about coming to Italy, but she

ignored that, and she continued to tell him what happened to her after being changed in Italy

He hadn't stopped her words. He had listened to every word she shared with him. He also watched every move she made, and he was so happy that she was alive and near him.

He saw her look down at her scars, they were many-he knew there must have been. It seemed to him, that maybe there were Vampires out there, that had not made it to Aro for help. He didn't care about

the bites-that she had a defense that was so amazing. She was still the most beautiful soul he had ever met. She was still beautiful where it counted.

Bella didn't look up at him, but he could see the mixtures of expression she had. He reached slow and gently to touch her chin and raise it. She was still worried, she was avoiding him, she would not look into

his eyes.. yet. He could see, how she must be feeling..and all he wanted-was her eyes to see him again. He quickly said," I love you Bella, I was just trying to keep you safe. I will never

leave you again. I've missed you! I would like to live forever with you."

Bella nodded.

They had not gotten that far away, when they could hear Alice squeal with delight, up on the cliffs.

She yelled, " Bella you're going to be so beautiful..can't wait to help you. Thanks Edward!"

Bella said,"I thought she couldn't see me?!"

"Maybe she sees photos...or she can see me?.". Edward commented while ruffling his hair. He glanced down at Bella's eyes, and they both smiled.

As they got into Bella's car after hunting. Edward would be driving. Edward remembered theirhunting. He wasn't' impressed with the seal taste, but he was happy the thirst was gone. He would never forget

the memories of watching her hunt. He was also amazed how the dolphins came around her..They wouldn't let him touch them tho. Their eyes studied him as they glided thru the water. He could hear the

dolphins talk underwater-sort of laughing at his happiness after they had eye contact with him-as he glanced at Bella again.

In the car,he breathed all of her flavors, her freesia scent was still with her, tho it was a lot fainter at the moment. It was amazing, when she was tense he could smelll a bit of dog, but the little amount

wasn't grossing him out. He glanced at her eyes, many times and did a double take: for now-he saw even more white flecks + gold flecks around her pupils..Her eyes sparkled like no other Vampire.

"Bella...you take me breath away. I'm so glad we are here together." His voice was so musical and velvety, that she looked over and up at him...and rewarded him with the smallest of smiles even in her eyes.

The smile left her tho, as she glanced down at herself...she could see her scars and tried to brush them away. The water droplets on her skin made the scars to her even worse. She was glad she had hunted

but she wished she had more clothes on now or a towel around herself. She still couldn't get over her insecurity. Edward hadn't' really said the words she needed to hear, by not bringing up the bites, and all

was to her not seeing her-as she was.

She stopped that thinking and went to their hunting together, it hadn't been the time, she usually went hunting, so finding two seals was pretty good, to share-not to drink alone was.. so much better.

A sun ray came out of the clouds, and they both could see the drops of water glistening on their skin. The sun had covered their bodies with more sparkle. It was one of those romantic moments, and Bella

remembered his last words....

"Yeah scars are so sexy!" she said with sarcasm. She glanced up at Edward and kept looking at his eyes, his nose, his mouth and then up to his bronze hair...with questions in her eyes...like,' You must

be..teasing me...me beautiful? Yeah right!'

Edward reached out to touch her cheek, her eyes closed for a second then her brown doe like eyes opened to watch him closer. She watched him lean in closer to kiss her cheek, her lips, then down her neck

to her collar bone. She loved his forehead, his eye brows, his eyes lowered as he made sure he kissed the spots he wanted to on her. His scent of his hair and the color highlights from the sun on his hair

made her mind happy. She didn't close her eyes once as she felt his loving ways on her skin. The sun rays, the color of him, the feel of him, she didn't want to miss any detail of their first time of being alone

together as Vampires. She was thrilled that the feeling of the kisses, were just as wonderful, as she remembered when she was human! He reached over and pulled her waist closer to him. Her body and

mind were as one, very willing to have him pull her on his lap. He helped her not bump into the steering wheel or anything..He was still gentle with her. He then dropped his hand and reached for

her hand, to bring their hands up to where his heart would have been, as he leaned again to kiss her near her lips- they both just slid into place. They had calming, comforting, and exciting feelings for each

other. Edward thought he could drive for awhile with Bella on his lap. He had missed her very much, he wanted her as close as possible. For so long, he didn't think that he could stand her being over in her

seat. Their eyes were even closer...and they were about to kiss.

Edward's phone rang. Carlisle spoke, " Edward please take Bella out of the area now. Go faster to make up time, remember where you are...you will be closer to other Vampires. since you will be going to Grey

Beards place. Get to sea as soon as possible. We will call you and meet you later. Edward put Bella back in her seat, and drive her back to the villa where Grey Beard's home is."

Before he hung up with Carlisle. Carlisle said, " I'll explain later. I'll be visiting with Aro, we will pack all of our things and meet you when we can.

Alice is talking with Bella's Vampire Father. Do you know everyone is calling him by what Bella nick named him...no one still knows his name.

He doesn't want to share...and of course since Bella was changed by him, he blocks out Aro. Kind of funny to see how many are now blocked by the Aro."

-------------------------

Aro said," So it looks like red eyed Vampires are still going to be drawn to her...Felix and Demetri showed us that. You are very lucky that Grey Beard got well and had to see Bella. Thank goodness he was there. I have

this feeling both of them wouldn't be alive if he hadn't been there. By what the others have said, Grey Beard's power is making his victims faint. I'm amazed really that there is a power like that. I know he is faster then

most, so maybe there is still other powers we can see as he stays. "

Carlisle said quietly," You do realize, Aro, he doesn't want to stay here? He wants his freedom." Aro nodded and tilted his head.," Funny, I would never picture him as a Vampire. I wonder how many of his powers can

work for me when he does decide to be here?"

Carlisle looked exasperated with his old friend," Well, since Bella bit him, you don't have much of a chance of finding out, unless you become friends with him in the normal-no power use way, called

communication,making time to know him, showing interest, and caring. He certainly won't open up to you...or any of us. Gosh, I wish I had been here when he woke up. I would have loved to watch his

reactions."

Aro smiled and called for Heidi to bring a cd in.

Aro pushed in the cd, Aro had a fast computer and the screen showed Grey Beard and what happened to him. Carlisle asked if he could have a copy. Heidi reached over and took the cd out. She came back

awhile later with a copy. Carlisle watched again the copy of Grey Beard.. with Aro in silence.

Aro glanced over and Carlisle shrugged. Grey Beard's eyes had been flickering back and forth, his legs and arms had been twitching. Some of the staff had come over to give him some deer blood and they had

been talking about the Cullen's meeting Bella. Then his eyes closed really moved back and forth, they fluttered open, his body moved more, he sat up, and he just jumped up, "Saying my daughter needs me!"

The staff tried to hold him down. He told three of them to let him be, let him go, and don't touch him...none of them listened. Grey Beard took a deep breath and started breathing on everyone who touched

him. They all let go of him. He reached out quickly, putting his hands under each one their heads, and placed their heads/bodies on the ground quickly and gently. Carlisle whistled and whispered,"Impressive".

He glanced at Aro who had his index finger pressed under his nose and over his lips. He was thinking. Aro leaned foreward on his desk. He sighed. looked at Carlisle and said,.

"Carlisle, even tho I'd love to visit more...I see it's best that Edward and Bella leave soon. I don't want to hear or see anymore Vampires on this continent encountering her. She's a beautiful addition to your coven. I

kind of feel sorry for Grey Beard....he obviously thought she was worth her weight in gold."

Carlisle remembered the words Grey Beard said, and before he he could share them. Aro pushed a button on the cd and they could see How Grey Beard looked and talked with Bella. That he was glad she

found 'her Edward'. Carlisle shook his head and chuckled to see that was recorded too. He said,"Grey Beard will always be welcome where ever we are."

Aro continued, "I think you should call Edward and Bella to make sure they have left. I am rather fond of the Vampires we have here. At least some of us can still be red eyed human hunters, and take out the evil, bad,

mad, sick humans that we know exist.." He brought his hands over his head and leaned back in his chair a bit, Aro looked like he was concentrating to say the words right... He continued staring at Carlisle in a

friendly way.

"Promise me something Carlisle? Where ever you move to, when you start a new life again.... Make sure you make signs for our nomads and our red eyed Vampires, to avoid being around Bella, and all those that might

accidentally.. or deliberately come into the werewolves/the shape shifters. areas..no need to cause such a loss over something we can just avoid. "

They got up and Aro walked Carlisle to the front door of his home.

They shook hands. Aro had checked on Carlisle's memories earlier, and saw that Carlisle hadn't hidden anything. They would still be good friends even tho it might take another 1,000 years before they saw

each other again.

Aro was glad to get a look of Victoria and Laurent from Carlisle's memories, a memory is so much better then a description. Aro met an artist, that could take a memory from a Vampire's memories, and make a

perfect picture of the people the Vampire's mind shared=Carlisle to Aro to the artist. The artist was getting more well known. Aro would later let the pictures be copied of Victoria and Laurent ....He stopped

thinking about that, he had an idea and said," Yeh, Carlisle...Bella could be the bait to catch this Victoria...Victoria will be drawn to her, like the rest have been, and I know even if Victoria does try to hurt Bella,

Bella will protect herself. You guys don't have to go hunting Victoria, let her come to you, or meet her with Bella..Just do me a favor and record what happens. It will be good in our files....maybe I shouldn't warn

other Vampires yet...let you catch her first...I guess Bella should be the secret weapon even for the uncontrolled crazy Vampire. Can I ask you for your help..if there is one on the loose and my guard can't

catch them?

Carlisle shook his head." Write a letter to Bella and ask her. Give her time to be with Edward tho.... Yes, Victoria is very much a red eyed crazy one. You're right, Bella will help us catch and deal with Victoria.." He

nodded to Aro," Thanks old friend, until we meet again." They shook hands once more.

After Carlisle left, Aro was brought back to the present by Heidi, telling him his friend T G Smith, who bit Bella, had gotten use to deer blood, decided to have some human blood, and he is paralyzed again.

Aro rolled his eyes and knew the doctors, would be busy for quite awhile. He was so happy Bella never came to his home...what wreckage she would have caused. The balance would have been ruined.

La Push,

The Ancient One told Leah, It's time to party! We need to celebrate before the Cullen's come home. I don't think they would be pleased with us. Bella is going to be quite an Angel to us and to them."

Leah growled.

The Ancient One said,'In time the leeches won't bother you so much...you're life will be better soon, I see happiness for you too little one."

Leah just looked puzzled at her..and patted the old one on the back thinking to herself," yeh right sure."

caww
