6 months later
Bella had managed to get her hand around Victoria, who looked surprised, and Bella slammed her into the ground.
"It seems you managed to get around my gift." Victoria said looking up at a wide-eyed Bella. She smirked and continued, "Or my gift knows you weren't really going to hurt me."
Bella stuck her tongue out at the red head before blurring away from her. Victoria sat up to see Bella had moved back several feet. Kate and Irina were watching from nearby with Eleazar who had been able to help Bella control her gift in these last few months.
"I think it is time for Bella's big test." Eleazar said causing Bella's attention to turn to him.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked tilting her head to the side looking at him curiously with her golden-brown eyes.
"Three vs One." Eleazar said waiting a minute so the words could sink into Isabella, who nodded once and looked ready for the fight.
Kate flitted forward, heading straight to Isabella who turned just in time to slam her palm into Kate's chest, sending her flying backwards. Eleazar was next rushing toward her but he bounced off the invisible bubble she had incased herself in. Victoria moved around Bella in a circle before rushing toward the girl only to hit the shield. Bella lowered her shield and lunged forward sending her right fist into Victoria's jaw sending her flying with a loud crack that sounded like thunder.
Bella's eyes widened and she worries that she has hurt Victoria only to see the red head get up to her feet. Victoria shook her head side to side getting some of the snow out of it before grinning in the direction of Bella clasping her hands together.
"Good job Isabella." Victoria praised the girl before walking back in the direction of the house, "That is enough for today."
Eleazar and Kate had both managed to make there way to the house being followed by a smiling Bella.
"Why Carlisle. Visiting again so soon?" Tanya was on the phone and Bella froze once she heard Tanya's voice. Kate looked worried and took Bella's hand leading her into the house and off the porch.
Irina was glaring at the phone in Tanya's hand. "I'm sure you would like to meet our newest members." Tanya said ignoring the glare Irina was giving her and the phone.
"Yes Alice's visions have gone dark every time she has one of us visiting you." Carlisle said in his usual calm tone but it had a under lining curiousity.
"What a shame. Well you are welcome to visit. We await your presences. Goodbye." Tanya hung up the phone and spun around at the sound of someone growling.
Bella had a expression of anger and pain as she stared at Tanya before cracking her knuckles. "I can't wait to see Edward again." She turned and went to the stairs going off to her room.
"Yes. I cannot wait to see Edward too." Kate said in a overly sweet voice and Tanya could just see the electricty sparking around her hands.
Victoria's expression was one of hope and fear. Hope because she would finally see Alice. Fear because she was worried that Alice wouldn't hear her out.
"Do you think Isabella's shield is effecting Alice's visions?" Eleazar asked out of curiousity. His question wasn't directed to anyone specific.
"I do." Tanya said nodding in agreement with Eleazar. She looked at Irina and Kate sending a private message with her eyes. The three Denali sisters went off upstairs to Isabella's room.
Bella was in her closet looking at all the clothing she has bought over these last few months. She picked out a pair of skin tight black jeans, a black tank top, and a black leather vest. She grinned setting the clothes on the bed just as Tanya knocked on the door.
"Go away." She said turning on her heel going back into the closet to find her a pair of shoes to wear.
"Isabella please." Tanya pleaded and Bella knew she could just see the hurt expression on the shortest blonde sister's face.
"We couldn't keep them away forever." Irina sighed sadly before adding, "Plus we can finally rip Edward a new one."
Bella grinned at the thought of beating the hell out of Fuckward, but the others didn't know she harbored great hatred to Alice and Esme too. Carlisle even. Hell the only Cullen she didn't hate was Jasper.
"You know they will stop us from hurting there golden boy." Bella snarled in response to Irina and immediately felt bad.
"Isabella. Either you open this door or I will break it down." Tanya smirked hearing Bella stomp her foot like a five year old.
Bella picked up a pair of black combat boots taking them out of the closet. She dropped them by the bed walking over to the door unlocking it then opening it. She met three sets of golden eyes.
"We will figure it out okay?" Tanya said walking into the room after Bella moved out of the way. She eyed the outfit on the bed.
"If the Cullens try and attack Tori." Bella growled as the sudden thought popped into her mind.
"Then we will defend our sister." Irina said placing both her hands on Bella's shoulders. The 5'9" tall blonde vampire sighed looking down at the 5'4" tall brunette.
"Can I at least get dressed?" Bella looked over her shoulder and up at Irina who was smirking.
"Go right ahead Isabella. Pretend we aren't even here." Kate grinned as Bella fixed her with a mock glare.
"I'm not wearing this until the Cullens get here." Bella motioned to the clothes she had laid out. Irina let her go as she went back into her closet humming.
Meanwhile downstairs. Victoria had her eyes closed and was holding her picture of Alice. Carmen sat down on the couch beside the red head and gently started to rub her back. Like a mother trying to soothe her daughter.
Victoria's eyes snapped open and looked at Carmen questioningly. Carmen only smiled in response before saying, "I'm sure she'll not only forgive you but she will love you some day."
Victoria chuckled and looked at the smiling pixiepire in the photo.
"I can only hope." Victoria said simply but Carmen could tell this was eating Victoria alive. The fear and worry.
"How long before they get here?" Victoria asked without looking at Carmen.
"It usually takes them a week or a few days at least." Carmen felt Victoria tense under her hand.
"You are familia now Victoria." Carmen said softly trying to ease the woman's fears, "I will fight for you if the Cullens try and attack."
"As will I." Eleazar said coming into the room sitting on the other side of Victoria.
Victoria nodded but she had a motto. I'll believe it when I see it. Eleazar placed his left hand on Victoria's knee getting her attention to look at him for a second.
"You didn't think Isabella could forgive you and she did. You two have become great friends these last six months." Eleazar smiled kindly before adding, "The very fact you changed your diet just so Alice would accept you."
"I changed it so I could stay here." Victoria said weakly but she knew that yet again she had been caught.
"It is not a weakness to change for those you love." Carmen said patting Victoria's back.
The rest of the day and through out the night was spent with the Denali coven planning on what to do. If the Cullens tried to attack Victoria they would defend her and injure the Cullens if they must. Isabella had laid out her plan to them about what she was going to do to Edward and that none of them should try and stop her.
The plan was simple. She would wait upstairs as the Cullens came into the house. She would wait upstairs with Victoria then the two of them would jump out a window to land in the backyard and wait for the Cullens to come out to meet them. Edward would most likely try to attack Victoria and when he did. Bella would snap and catch him. She planned to keep him inside her shield to make sure the Cullens couldn't stop her from beating the sense out of him.
None of their pleas would make her stop until she had ripped off a limb or two. The Denalis would be prepared to fight if the other Cullens decided to attack but they figured Carlisle would want a explanation on what has happened to Bella. So the day the Cullens would arrive they had to keep there thoughts elsewhere.
Bella stood with the Denali sisters as she watched the clock on the wall slowly move and the day when the Cullens would arrive grew closer and closer.
