A/N: Hey everybody! I just wanted to say how thankful I am for everyone who has been enjoying this crazy story. I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys seeing these two together! I have decided that there will only be two more chapters, but fear not! I have some other ideas in the works. ;D
This chapter is brought to you by the song that started it all, If You Ask Me To by Celine Dion.

Bella POV
We arrived back in New York just in time to get ready for our trip. I wasn't bringing anything with me from here except my photo album of pictures from throughout my life. I had been glancing through it, when my cell phone rang. That was odd. I was having it disconnected, so the only person who could have been calling me was…..
Alice.
I picked up right away and she instantly started screaming at me.
"Why the HELL did you kill Edward? More importantly, HOW? A human can't kill a vampire unless she sets it on fire and we move too fast! Even more important, why can't I see you clearly in my visions anymore? You're blurry and dim, almost like you aren't here anymore."
I answered her with the truth. "That's because I'm not human. Well, not anymore. Loki saved my life, turning me into a Goddess. The long-foretold Goddess of Mischief."
She sounded confused, not a common thing for Alice. "What? What do you mean, a Goddess?"
I sighed. "Where are you right now? Like, what country and city?"
"Why?" she asked.
I was growing frustrated, so I looked to Loki for comfort. He wrapped his arms around me as I spoke. "Just answer the damn question, Alice." She did, with much reluctance.
"We're still in the United States. We're with the Denali Coven in Alaska." I grinned, delighted to show my former family my new powers. "Ok. Hang up the phone and count to ten, human speed."
She was growing worried. "Bella? What are you going to do?" I laughed, a happy sound that lit up my whole world. "You'll see. Bye Alice!"
She hung up. "Goodbye, Bella….."
I hung up the phone and after making sure I didn't need anything off of it, destroyed it. I glanced at Loki once again. "Ready for this?" He smiled blissfully. "Of course, my love."
With that, we traveled to Denali, Alaska. Conveniently, we stopped right on their doorstep. Alice walked out onto the porch as she said 10, and saw Loki and I.
She shook her head back and forth. "What? How? How did you get here so fast? Weren't you in Manhattan?" I answered her questions one at a time.
"For lack of a better word, I teleported. I did it by envisioning your face and what I knew of this house. When I teleport, I travel faster than you do at top speed and yes, I was in Manhattan exactly 10 seconds ago."
Her eyes widened. "So that's why you said to count to 10. You were giving me a time of arrival." I nodded, and then saw Emmett come bouncing out of the house. He did a double take when he saw me. "Bella, is that you? How are you here? And who's the guy in the costume?" Loki's lips twitched when Emmett called his robes a 'costume'. "Don't mind him, love. He's as simple-minded as they come." I murmured in his ear. He nodded and then addressed Emmett.
"I am Loki of Asgard. God of Mischief and royal prince. I am also Isabella's true soulmate. Not that vampire fellow she disposed of." Emmett's eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. "You mean the Loki from the comic books?" He nodded, to which Emmett just said "Awesome, dude!" Soon, Rosalie, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle followed suit and were standing with us on the porch. They were thrilled at seeing me, until they saw Edward wasn't with me and I was in the arms of another.
"Bella?" Esme gently asked. "Where is Edward?" I sighed. This was going to be hard on them. I was about to drop the bomb, until Loki did it for me. "She destroyed him, sending him back where he belongs." His eyes were fiercely sweeping the crowd, challenging them to defy him. I huffed.
It must be an old habit, I thought.
They all started to grow sad and upset at me, until I had an idea. It would both demonstrate my new powers and show them what Edward did. I informed Loki of my plan and stepped forward, speaking the Latin spell.
Antiqua virtute veritatem.
Ancient power, reveal the truth.
They were not expecting what they saw next.
A/N: Sorry to cut it off there, but I must go to bed. Thanks so much and love you guys!
