A/N:-HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER. HOPE YOU ENJOY

When we got to our old home here we looked to Rose's stuff and i had no idea as to how we were going to drag her belongings with us to the house boat? some of the stuff would get ruined in the water.

After a few minutes i remembered that there was a fisherman that lived not far from us who had a boat with a small canapy that we could "borrow" for a time, i knew we could give it back at a later date or something like that, that we could figure out later.

I told Rose i would be back in a few minutes and to not light any candles or anything like that until i got back and she noded her head and with that i rushed out to go collect the boat.

It wasn't very big and one of us would have to be in the water anyway to push it through the water, but it would be big enough for her stuff. I am not going to complain about it as Carlisle was able to get a few things for me (and it turned out to be more than a few things but i had that opportunity that she wouldn't have) so the fact that while it wasn't everything (i mean she could have taken all her clothes with her and she had a wardrobe bigger than Alice's and that is saying something), she did take the things that were most important to her that couldn't be replaced.

so when i got back we carried her stuff to the water where i had the boat tied and we secured it all in and there was enough room for one of us so that if humans were about i could be sitting in the boat and Rose could be under it to be safe, but i don't think she was going to be too much trouble her first year if how she handled herself on her 'mission'.

I made it very clear in my choice of coming home with Rose so that Alice could tell the others and maybe they would stop theboat somewhere so it is easier to catch up. We both looked over the maps and then she said that she having more strength and power right now would push the boat first and that if she got off course that i could tap the boat twice and three times for humans near by, i thought that was as good a plan as we had right then so i got in the boat and off we went.

I took us about 3 weeks to reach the house boat and as i thought they did stop to let us catch up. As Alice said she got her vision of me coming home just as it was almost too late to stop where they were.

I let out a sigh of relief that at least i knew that this worked in time (even if it was really close). With that out of the way Carlisle and Jasper looked at me and Rose when they saw what we brought back, and Rose just shrugged at them and started to sort through her things to put away in her room and i stood there and just simply looked the guys in the eyes and told them

"Well all of us but Alice and you, Jasper, have things from our human lives and i thought that it was only fair to get the few items that Rose just couldn't ever replace and being away for a year we may not get the chance to have gone to gotten anything later for her and plus it helps in her recovery" and with that i turned and helped Rose to finish up and i was about to walk to my room when the guys stoped me and told us to join them up on deck to tell them about how it went.

I started once we were all seated

"Well first thing is that Rose didn't drink from a single one of them, we only killed about 6 of them when we found out about one of them though we made him be sent to a mental institute for the rest of his life as he had kids, but her was a wife beater so it worked out best that way. The others though we took out one by one and you were right Alice the last two were harder then the others but we got them.

"The guy before Royce we ended up saving three girls from being abused and raped and killed by him and Rose made his brains come out of the back of his head with one punch, the girls because we saved them gave us there word to not mention us and they said that it was the least they could do to repay us..."

I was about to continue but Rose finished for me instead "Royce was the hardest but he locked himself into my father's Bank's vault, and had three guards that we had no choice but to kill as well, they were low lives anyway so they wont be too muchly missed. I am glad that you all let me do that as i really needed it. Thank you Bella for letting me grab some of my stuff too."

"Thats ok Rose, no need to say thank you but your welcome all the same."

I reply back to her and i hug her, she gives me a smile before heading back down to her room.

I turn to everybody and ask

"So how long now?"

Alice replies "Not long about two more days as we slowed down to give you and Rose time to get back." I smiled at her greatfully and then i too went to my room. I picked up one of my books that i packed in my suitcase instead of in the boxes and read the whole thing by the time we reach the island.

~oOo~

It has been a month since we got to the island, and it has mostly been uneventful.

We walked up to the house dragging poor Carlisle who we told to keep his eyes shut or else and he grumbbled the whole time (thankfully it wasn't that long from the dock to the house, but we did need to go throughsome dense foliage).

Alice and I with the help of Jasper had built an opened planned home in the middle of the island that was surrounded by plants that were so tall that even though the sun got through humans wouldn't see us sparkling and come looking, thinking that there is lost treasure there.

The house itself was two and a bit stories with room to build more if we want to or need to. On the first floor there was a library, a study, a lounge room, a games room, a music room where my piano sat and a sun deck out the back facing a beach.

The second floor was all the bedrooms. Alice and Jasper had a room that wasn't so big but it had two rooms off it and one was for Alice's clothes (with some of Jasper's) and the other was for Jasper to simply get lost in his civil war stuff (or a study like room for just him. they also had a bathroom to themselves).

Carlisle's room was on the other side of theirs and he had a room that was filled with shevles and pleanty of room to so he could hang place everything of his in his own little space. He had a bathroom off of his room with the sunken bathtub that he had back when he turned me (it was identical).

Rose had her room on this level too and it was over the sundeck with a small balcony facing the beach. Alice wanted this side but i told her that i thought this best for her so she didn't feel like we where trying to keep too much of an eye on her but at the same time if she needed to go down to the water she could, plus we didn't know what she wanted to do as a hobby yet so this was great.

Alice conceeded on the condition that she have a room that was just a wardrobe and a big bathroom and so Rose has a bathroom that you have to walk through the Wardrobe to get to and one whole wall that was glass opposite that. Rose loved it and it was all worth it.

My room was the very top level but there really wasn't much to this floor. Just my room and a rooftop balony with a roof over one part of it (incase it rained, which it hardly ever did) My room had a walk in wardrobe that wasn't that big (only about half the size of Alice's and Rose's) that too was the only access to the bathroom. i had the same type of bathroom as Carlisle but mine was blue's not dark colours like his, mine also had this amazing shower in it in the corner.

The shower was big enough for two and it had one massive shower head so it felt like you were standing under a rain cloud that was only raining on you and one other person. it also had a bench in it with a few much smaller shower head over it so that you could still have a shower but not have to stand if you didn't want to. The bathtub was also a spa in mine where as Carlisle's wasn't (for some reason that sort of confounded him and he didn't seem to like that, maybe i'll give him a massage in mine to show him how good it can feel).

I also had an Art room that was where i could enter the Balcony from so that i had a panoramic view of the island and the surrounding waters as i could climb on top of the roof to get this by going up a set of stone stairs. This wasn't another floor though.

The balcony up here was mostly for me but the others could come up here if they wanted to as there was a garden up here that i could use to grow my favorite plants or even just some of the native ones.

We tried when we built this place to make it so that even when we were not here this would still be a perfect house for us to just simply get away from the world for a while and simply be ourselves without have to pretend we were something we are not.

We could use the boat to travel to the main land so that we could keep up with the times, but we could still be ourselves we just couldn't go during the main part of the day and stay to the shadows.

Alice said that they do sometimes have cloudy days on the main land and that we could try to organize trips around them. This wasn't a bad idea and so from then on we did just that.

We only really left the house to go there when we really needed anything, like more paints for me or to know what was going on in the world or any new advances or anything like that. We had food on the island that we could hunt, but we also could go to the main land's forest area's and hunt there if we were feeling up for something different.

It also gave Rose a chance to know the difference between a Human's scent during hunting and an animals. There was a few almost accidents, but Jasper and Carlisle was able to get her to snap out of it in time.

One such time poor Rose was so upset with herself that she didn't go out hunting again for about three months and would only feed from the things we brought her.

~-FLASHBACK-~

Alice and I were in the lounge room when a very upset looking and wet Rose came storming in from outside and went straight up to her room slamming the door to the point i know she broke it, as we were about to go up and see what happened Carlisle and Jasper came up very near vampire speed after her stopping when they came in front of us.

"Is everything ok Dad?" I asked him

"Yeah it will be Bella, Rose just almost killed a person yesterday afternoon and she took off running and after i checked to see if the person was ok it would seem he just fainted. We folloed Rose soon after that and found she was heading back here so we grabbed the boat and pushed it as fast as we could back here so we could talk to Rose. Did she come back here?"

Both Alice and I nod our heads and they both go up to her room and then next we heard Rose was shouting very loudly (if she were human i would have said 'shouting at the top of her lungs')

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, I AM A MONSTER, JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE"

We tried to get her to come down to the lounge room but she refused and would only let me fix her door (and that was only because i saw her trying but not getting anywhere with it). I wasn't until Jasper reminded her a few weeks later that he had only been drinking from animals for a short time because of the world he was brought into, did she seem to snap out of it a bit.

However it took ages.

~-FLASHBACK END-~

~oOo~

The year has been up and down with Rose's near slips but we can now safely say that she can be around humans and not slip anymore.

We even learned that she likes to tinker with things, like clocks and other mechanical things and she has started to show she has a thing for car's, these things scared me but Rose says they are quite safe if handled right, but i still am not believing of this.

She is always talking about them as if they were old friends. when we move next Carlisle has promised to buy her one and we can all learn how to drive and all, and this had her jumping for joy and trying to figure out how to make them go faster, we just roll our eyes.

She likes to design houses and the interiors and she likes to do hair and makeup. So it is safe to say that Alice is over the moon about that and she keeps saying how we should move somewhere where they can open a beauty parlor where people can buy outfits that (and i qoute) "actually fit them and look good on them and then we can make them beautiful" we just roll our eyes and laugh at this and tell her we will think about it.

We are all loving the time away from humans and being in our own little worlds, we can be out in the sun when we want to and not worry about humans seeing us. there have been once or twice where humans would think to visit the island thinking it was a vacent island with nothing but plant and animal life and everytime Alice sees them decide and we head them off, but for the most part the signs around the place are enough and we have also told all the governments around the island to not sned anyone to the island as it is private property and we do not want to bothered by anyone coming.

We are planning to stay here for a bit longer as Alice says that there is something important coming our way but she can't say what just yet as there is too many choices to be made.

The year is 1930 and there is talk of wars and such and we really don't want to be apart of any of it, we are sitting out on the beach when Alice suddenly sits up and screams. Jasper rushes from the water to her side and we all huddle around her as we wait for her to tell us what the hell is wrong.
When she comes too she says

"The Volturi are coming and they will be here in an hour"

We all look at each other and then we get ourselves up off the beach and into the house. We don't actually get dressed but we do put on surongs and shorts and then we sit and wait in the lounge room where we have a full view of both the front door of the house and the backdoor that opened out onto the beach (just in case they wanted to try and trap us in). We hear a soft sound coming from the front and we all look in unison in time to see them coming up the path from the dock.

The three main members, Aro, Marcus and Caius were in the lead with Jane and Alec behind them. Demitiri and felix were not that far behind them. They all wore black which made their crimson eyes stand out more, Carlisle walked up to the door as they reached it and says

"Welcome and to what do we owe a visit from you?"

Aro lifts his hand to signal the others to stop and then replies in a tone that sent sivers down my spine and i look to Jasper and we both send out calm in hopes that this will go smoothly.

They all enter and we sit as far away as we can without looking rude or anything and then once he has sat Aro answers

"We have come to see if the rumours are true that you have a new born and that you have removed yourself from the world of humans. We actually thought for a moment till we saw your eyes that you had reconsidered your diet. So where is the new member? You seem to have gathered a few new faces."

Carlisle smiles at Aro and nods his head before speaking again. "You are quite right Aro I do have a few new compainions. After i left Volterra i moved to the New World and found myself in a small halfway town between two other towns that is now called Forks in Washington and this is where I met Isabella," He motions for me to step forward and i walk up to him and stand beside him.

"I turned her when a nomade by the name of James came by and attacked her and I felt like she was my daughter and so i changed her. She has been with me ever since and as you can see she has shared my diet ever since without insidence. In 1910 Alice and her Husband Jasper joined us already vampires..."

Alice comes forward in her usual pixie way and says "I don't know who turned me or what my human life was, all i know is that it was all dark and quiet when i woke knowing only my name in 1900 and my husband was created by a vampire named Maria in 1863 and came across me while he was trying to find a way to not drink from humans and then we found our way to Carlisle and we have been with him ever since and wouldn't change it for the world." and with that she gets on to her tippy toes and kisses Carlisle on the cheek.

Carlisle if he were still human he would have blushed i sware it, and Aro seemed to be entertained by this and Carlisle after a moment continued

"And this is Rosalie Hale, our newest member who as of today is no longer a new born. This island is a gift to me from the others and it was also the best place we could go for Rose's first year to be sure that she wouldn't slip and i will be honest and up front with the fact that she had a few almosts but Jasper and myself stopped her in time and redirected her in mid-hunt. she can now be around humans without losing control and having her throat burn around them too much."

Aro looks to the others and they nod their heads while Jane looks bored and Caius asks "And do you all know the one main rule we all must live by and what happens if it is found to be broken?"

I was about to say something when Rose strolls forward and comes to a stop right in front of him and replies

"If you think for one moment Carlisle hasn't done his job of informing us of this life then you are surly mistaken, Caius of the Volturi in Volterra Italy. We always remain a secret and we wouldn't ever want to be destroyed by you or anyone else for that matter so we all make it a point to stay hidden, so don't break out in a sweat ok?"

And with that she turns on her heals and walks calmly up to her room and a few moments later we hear the shower running.

We just all look at each other until Aro speaks up "Well I think that everything is sorted then, We will be off now..." with that they turn to leave but then Aro turns one last time and adds in a deathly tone that made me feel as if it were more a threat than anything else

"And Carlisle be sure to let us know of any more new members and that this house is a great place to keep them yet try not to gather too many more we wouldn't want ...anything unpleasent to happen"

And then they were gone. We all let out a sigh of relief when we knew that they would have been away enough for them to hear us, I ran up to the roof to be sure they were gone.
