Chapter 14.

BPOV

There were six audible gasps around the room. I tried to stay calm, but my fingers were twitching and my foot was tapping and I was biting my lip.

"Shh Bella. Calm down, it's okay." I heard Edward reassure me.

"Please explain that." Carlisle asked smoothly. I took a deep breath.

"Okay, but I need you all to promise you won't interrupt me." I said meekly. The Cullen's all nodded in understanding.

"Go ahead sweetie." Esme said lovingly after my silence.

I took another deep breath. "Well, as you know, I am not human. I am a Protector Guardian, a very powerful species. We go through our changing process when we turn 18, hence me having to get myself away from here very, very quickly as some of you may have noticed. Anyway, Edward, being the annoyingly stubborn man that he is, decided to follow me even though I told him not to and he witnessed my change. He thought I was dead. My heart and breathing stopped, but I was fully aware of my surroundings." My voice turned grave as I remembered Edward's distress and sadness. "I could still hear. I could hear everything, but my body was completely numb and I couldn't move any part of it. It stayed like that for a day, while my body changed and shifted."

I paused for a few seconds and looked up to see their faces. They all had shocked looks on their faces. I looked down and started twiddling my thumbs. Edward grabbed my hand with his a squeezed it tightly.

I looked up at him, to see that his eyes were smoldering, looking for something in my eyes as I looked back at him. Suddenly, he turned to Alice, who's face was still frozen.

"Alice, can you please take Bella upstairs and get her changed." Said Edward's velvet voice. Alice's face then came alive and he smiled and nodded at Edward. She ran over and grabbed my wrist, heaving me up and then racing up the stairs with me behind her.

She ran into her room and started flinging clothes everywhere. I stayed still, staring at Alice's tiny form whizzing around.

"Do you hate me?" I asked feebly. Alice immediately stopped. She stood up straight and turned to face me. Her expression was blank. I knew it. They did hate me. Why? Why did I tell them? They didn't have to know. Gosh I'm such an idiot!

"Bella." Alice said softly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you know you hate me and-" I was cut of by a black and white blur speeding towards me and hugging me tightly.

"Bella! Of course we love you! It doesn't matter what you are. You're Bella! Edward loves you, I love you, our whole family loves you. We were just shocked, thats all. But it does explain a lot of things." Alice said. I cocked my head to the side, confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"Well, it would explain the weird things I saw, like the torrent of wind blowing around you and Edward, with Charlie watching on. It was strange. But now it all makes sense, I think. It was you creating the wind yes?" She asked. I bit my lip and nodded.

"Yeah, that was me." I said. Just then, Alice seemed to disappear for a fraction of a second before returning with a pile of clothes in her hands.

"Put these on, and then meet us downstairs and tell us everything. It sounds interesting and I'm sure Carlisle will be fascinated." She grinned at me and then flew out the door and downstairs, back to the rest of the family.

I moved into her bathroom and looked at the clothes Alice gave to me. To my surprise, it was a pair of maroon tracksuits and a white singlet. I stripped off the now horrid dress and slid into the comfy new clothing. I saw a hairbrush on the bathroom counter top. I turned to face myself in the mirror and almost fell over at my appearance.

The figure in front of me was indisputably beautiful. She had curves in all the right places, her chest was full and was maybe a little taller than me. Her lips were fuller, her limbs were smooth and strong, skin glistening subtly, luminous as a pearl. This woman was me, is that even possible?! I was fluid even in stillness, very different from my normal slouch and clumsiness and apart from my hair being totally disheveled, it was heavier and darker.

Very slowly I lifted my hand up to my cheek. I could tell that my skin was cold, even though it was warm to my touch. It was as hard as rock. Marble. I smiled at the thought. I still had blood pulsing through my veins with each pump of my heart, it was just very difficult to reach under my granite skin.

I picked up the hairbrush on the counter and rushed it through my hair which took ages considering it was a complete mess. I splashed my face with water and than ran down the stairs at full speed, arriving in the living room in less than a second. I saw Edward's arms outstretched toward me, an invitation impossible to resist. I sat down on his lap and his arms curled around my waist. I felt waves of confidence swirl around me and I welcomed them.

"Thank you, Jasper." I planted in his mind. I saw him jump and stare at me, wide-eyed, and I couldn't help but burst into hysterical laughter. All the Cullen's turned to look at me, confused at my sudden outburst. I composed myself and cleared my throat.

"Sorry about that." I said.

"What did you do?" Rosalie asked. I shrugged.

"This." I said in all of their minds. They all jumped and I almost flew off of Edward with the force of his body. They all looked at each other to see if everyone else had just experienced my 'thought planting'.

I looked down at my feet, embarrassed. It was silent for a long time before Carlisle spoke.

"Bella, I am very interested in your um... species. Can you please tell us what else there is that you can do?" He asked, still being very formal.

I nodded. "Well, first I'll start of by saying that I am very powerful. My power exceeds anything in this world. So don't mess with me." I stopped, pointed a finger at Emmett and glared playfully. His only response was to snort out a laugh while I felt Edward chuckled underneath me. "Okay, so, I am very much like a vampire, except for the whole drinking blood part. I can absorb any vampire power, control elements, produce force-fields or shields, shape-shift, block any vampire power, run twice as fast as one of you and I am a very skilled fighter. Also, as you may have noticed, my physical features have changed as well. I glow white when I'm either angry, in pursuit of a Destroyer Guardian, or when I'm 'feeding'" Emmett opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off. "Not now Emmett, you can all ask questions when I am done. So, back on track, I am able to produce a super power, which is where I unite all my powers together so make one, big, massive force that will kill anything I aim it at.

"But that generally means I'll die. So we can only use that in case of a dire emergency. We are here to protect, obviously. Me and Charlie are the protectors of Forks, and I recently discovered that Aaron is a Protector Guardian and he protects the people of Port Angeles." I felt Edward's growl start to build up in his chest. I turned to face him. "Calm down Edward, remember, it's you I love, not him." Edward nodded and I turned back to face the rest of the Cullen's. "Also, my breed is the rarest of all Guardians. We are meant to protect humans from werewolves, vampires and the Destroyer Guardians. We are meant to kill each one that we see. But don't worry, I'm not going to kill you, seeing as you pose no threat to the humans here. I would refuse to kill any of you, even if you did harm humans."

I finally finished my massive speech about myself and it was silent for a few minutes before a voice broke it.

"Holy crap! THAT'S SO AWESOME!" Boomed Emmett and I chuckled. "Want to arm wrestle?" He asked eagerly. I shrugged but nodded.

"Your loss." I said and Emmett scoffed.

"I don't care how strong you think you are. No one can beat Emmett the Strong!" He said, puffing out his chest and pointing a thumb to it. He lent over the coffee table with his elbow resting on it, hand cupped and waiting. I got off of Edward's lap and walked gracefully over to him.

"You break it, you fix it." Esme playfully warned and I grinned at her. I sat down opposite Emmett and put my elbow on the table and grabbed his hand.

"You're going down Emmett." I said. Jasper was sitting next to me.

"3, 2, 1, GO!" He yelled. As soon as he yelled go, I could feel Emmett start to put pressure on my hand, but it was only tiny. I just sat there, staring at Emmett's face, which was twisted into deep concentration. His whole face was screwed up in the amount of strength he was forcing onto my hand. My arm didn't move, nor did my facial expression. I looked at him, very amused, and then very slowly started to push down Emmett's hand. His face screwed up even more after he realised what I was doing. After about 30 seconds, his hand hit the top of the table very lightly. I pulled my hand away and grinned at him.

"Well." I said, getting up and stretching. "That was fun." I smiled mockingly at him and he scowled at me.

"I demand a rematch!" He said. The whole family started laughing then. After a while of Emmett glaring at me, his face softened and he started laughing as well.

"Looks like there is someone who can defeat Emmett the Strong." I said, grinning like a mad-man.

"Yes. But I never imagined that it would be you Bells." He said. I just chuckled.

"Looks can be deceiving." I said evilly. The Cullen's started laughing again. Emmett's laughter stopped short.

"Hang on," he said, "who's Aaron? And you said that you 'feed'. What the hell?" He asked a bit loudly. I giggled.

"Aaron was our waiter yesterday at La Bella Italia. He kind of hinted that he was into me-" I was cut off by Edward.

"More like he was flaunting the fact that he liked you." he said, eyes narrowed, brow creased. I sighed.

"Seriously Edward, how many time do I have to tell you. I don't have any interest what-so-ever for him. You are my 'precious' okay?" I said and his face relaxed and laughed at my last statement. I kissed him quickly on the lips and smiled at him. All the Cullen's looked confused.

"Whatever," Emmett said, "What about the feeding part." he asked, truly curious.

"I feed off energy around me. Whether that be in the ground, in the air, in water. Anywhere. I can also steal energy from another person. But that usually means death for the other person." I said and once again, Emmett's voice cut through the silence.

"COOL!" He yelled. Everyone started laughing.

The rest of the day past in a blur and it was now nighttime. I was lying in bed with Edward's arms wrapped around me. The only different thing now was that Charlie was fully aware of Edward's presence and was probably listening very carefully to what we were doing.

"I wonder how people are going to react to you tomorrow. You are even more beautiful." Edward said softly.

"If any boy other than Edward comes near you I will seriously kill them." Came Charlie's concerned thoughts. I laughed and I could almost hear Charlie's grin spreading across his face.

"Bella?" Edward asked. I then realised that he hadn't heard our conversation.

"Oh, Charlie's just being a Dad. Threatening any boy other than you who comes near me. You know, the usual." I said, laughing.

"I second that." Edward said with a grin.

"I'm pretty sure I can protect myself now. I'm stronger than you will ever be." I said smugly. I felt a yawn coming on and I tried to stifle it, but failed.

"Bed time for the non-human." Edward said, amused. I chuckled at his choice of words. I yawned again and shut my eyes, my head resting comfortably on the pillow.

"I love you Edward." I mumbled, half asleep. I could feel him smile.

"I love you too Bella. Are you ready for a big day at school tomorrow?" He teased. I groaned.

"Don't remind me." I said, my voice muffled by my pillow. The last thing I heard was Edward's soft chuckle as I felt my exhaustion overtake my body and I feel into a peaceful sleep.

---

I awoke to the feel of cold lips pressing to my forehead. Edward. I smiled.

"Good morning love." Edward said in a bland tone. I was confused by Edward's tone but managed to sit up in bed and open my eyes. I had to immediately close them again due to the masses of light pouring into my room. I opened my eyes again, slowly, rubbing the sleep from them and I groaned out loud. So this was the source of Edward's mood.

Sun beams fell into my room, dancing across the wooden floorboards. I looked at Edward with and angry look on my face.

"Dammit." I growled. "Blasted sun. Why can't it go back to where it came from. Stupid, stupid, stupid sun. Who needs the sun anyway? Not me." I mumbled slowly and quietly. Edward's tight chuckle followed my rant.

"The sun helps things live Bella. It is very important. Alice told me it was going to be sunny." He said, his voice grave. I sighed.

"This day is going to suck." I said stubbornly and childishly.

"Let's get you some breakfast." Edward said with a sudden cheerfulness.

"Why are you always so happy about breakfast?" I asked him, curious.

"I get to spend it with you." He said, and then he kissed me. I heard Charlie grumble in my mind and I smiled into the kiss. Edward pulled back then.

"Charlie?" He asked. I nodded. Edward straightened up and faced my Dad's room. "Excuse me Chief Swan, but I was wondering if I could kiss your beautiful daughter." He said in a formal voice.

"No." Charlie answered in my thoughts.

"He said okay." I said, smirking. Edward smiled my smile and kissed me. I could hear Charlie's stubborn growls in my head, but ignored them as Edward's warm lips moved against mine. I could spend forever doing this. Neither of us needed the air to breathe. Edward was my air and as long as he was in the world I could live.

We headed down the stairs about 15 minutes later to find that Charlie had left for work. I started leafing through the cupboards, searching for a bowl for my cereal. Once I had poured the milk into the bowl filled with cereal, I headed over to the table and sat down, Edward sitting on my left. I started munching on the tasteless cereal, Edward watching me the whole time. I tore my gaze away from my bowl of moosh and looked at Edward, one eyebrow raised.

"What?" He asked, innocent.

"Why do you always insist on watching me eat? It's very distracting." I said. "I don't see why you're allowed to watch me eat and I'm not allowed to watch you."

Edward raised his eyebrows in return. "Would you like to come with us next time love?" He inquired and I grinned.

"Yes!" I said enthusiastically. Edward chuckled.

"We will be going in a few days time. So if it's alright with Charlie you can take the day off and come with us." He said smoothly.

"I'll need to feed by then too so Charlie would let me." I said, smiling the whole time. I finished my breakfast and headed up the stairs slowly, not wanting to go to school today. I opened my closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I shoved them onto my body and walked into the bathroom. I splashed my face with water, ran a brush through my hair and headed down the stairs gracefully, not tripping once.

Edward was waiting down the bottom of the stairs for me and smiled when he saw me. He pulled me into the enclosure of his arms.

"You look as beautiful as ever." he whispered in my ear and I shivered. Edward knew it wasn't because I was cold and smirked. He pulled back and started playing with tendrils of my hair, his facial expression sad. I cupped my hand to his cheek.

"It's only one day." I said softly, though I knew that I would be able to hardly stand 1 minute away from him, let alone one day.

"Exactly." Edward said. "That's the bad thing."

I kissed his cheek swiftly.

"I have to go now." I said. "And don't worry, I'll make sure to bash up Mike if he tries something." I said, smirking at the picture forming in my head. Edward laughed.

"I'll be watching you in the shadows. If you ever feel alone, know that I am right outside in the closest shade possible." he said seriously. "Just say my name if you need me at all, and I'll be there okay?" He asked and I nodded.

I headed to the door with Edward close behind me. I hopped into the truck and started the engine. Jumping at the loudness of it. I wound down my window and kissed Edward who was waiting outside.

"I'll be running beside you until you get to school." He said, I nodded. "Remember, if you need me, just say my name and I'll be there."

I smiled at him. "Thank you Edward, but I'm sure I'll be fine." I said, putting the car into gear and reversing out of the driveway and onto the road. I started driving, throwing glances into the forest beside me. I could see Edward.

"You look ridiculous you know." I said to him and I heard his laughter in return. I smiled to myself.

I pulled into the school parking lot and parked. I had already lost Edward but I knew that he was in the forest in front of me somewhere. I smiled and shook my head in disbelief. Edward truly was amazing.

I gathered my bag and hopped out of the cab and started walking toward the cafeteria. Every single head turned in my direction. The girls glaring, the boys staring, wide-eyed and open-mouth.

This was going to be a longggg day.
