Control & Protect

RPOV (Rosalie's Point of View)

I didn't know why Alice even proposed that Bella should stay with us. I was against this idea; there was no way that our family should babysit a human when the wolves were on our ass. Esme didn't think that this was a bad idea. I could tell that she wanted to see Bella ever since Alice had been giddy about this human; and that was when she had received a vision of Bella coming to Forks. God, not only that I would have to listen to her heartbeat, seeing that I would never get to have that sound ever again. The scent of her blood was going to cause some trouble in this household. Jasper was going to lose control and that human's life was going to be in danger again.

I could hear the sound of Heloise's car pulling up, not to say their scents hitting all of us when they stepped out of the car. I fleeted down the stairs just to watch the show. It was about to begin, so I thought that I would just join Emmett by the loveseat. I grabbed a magazine and settled down in his arms as he wrapped them around me. I flipped through the pages as Bella's scent entered the place, and I could tell that Jasper had stopped breathing. I wondered how long it would be until Jasper finally lose his control and attack Bella. Oh wait, Edward and Alice would be there to protect her, seeing they possessed powers that were actually useful to all of us.

"Hello Bella, please come this way. I'll show you to your room." Esme said softly. I could distantly smell her blood now, so I know that she was blushing. Human and their blushing, it was quite pathetic. I watched them from the corner of my eyes as they made their way up the stairs. Alice had spent quite some time in that room tidying up. There was one problem though, there was no bed. I guess she'd probably have to invest in one sooner or later.

"Come, we've been expecting your arrival." Alice said. I paused in my reading, not that I was paying attention to it, and looked up to see Heloise and Aurora entered the room. They didn't look like they were having the best of day. Heloise shoulders were slumped and her eyes held that guilty look, while Aurora was practically annoyed, probably at the fact that she had to be here.

Carlisle and the rest of the family – with the exception of Esme since she was seeing to Bella's human needs – entered the lounging room. Carlisle gestured for the two girls to sit down, and they did as they had been asked. Heloise's eyes flew straight towards Alice, and I watched as they had their conversation through their eyes. After a while Heloise's eyes went back to that guilty look while Alice had that sympathy look. Then it was Aurora, her eyes looked straight over at Edward with a frown. He shrugged and tore his gaze away from her. That was when I began to growl; these two obviously knew what these girls were without even telling us.

"Rosalie, do you have something to say?" Carlisle asked, his eyes watching me as if I held the answers to his curiosity. The hell I did, if I did then none of this crap would happen. At least I know how to protect our family secret, apparently not these two idiots. I loved Alice, really I do, but sometimes she could be so absurd when it came down to humans. Then there was Edward risking his non-existing life to save Bella, all the while risking our secret. Alice had to add in on this since she gave Bella's clues to figure out what we were. I wasn't really that surprise to see Bella even agreed to living with a house full of vampires. God, as if he didn't even know that these two already knew who behind Harry Clearwater's dead all along.

"Why don't you ask Alice and Edward? I'm sure they'd have something to say when they clearly know what these two murderers are." I said annoyingly and went back to my magazine. I didn't miss the hiss coming from Aurora though; I couldn't even help the smirk that was spreading across my lips. Sure I didn't know what they were, but I felt like Alice and Edward had betrayed us by keeping their secrets when they had brought drama upon us. If their scents did indeed match ours, then the wolves would have their teeth sunk deep within our bodies by now. I'd even doubt that we would still be alive as well.

Carlisle turned to look at Alice and Edward with a raised eyebrow. Oh god, was he that oblivious? I sighed loudly and put my magazine down on my lap and turned to look at him. "Carlisle, it is obvious that Alice and Edward know what they are from the very beginning. Why would they even suggest a meeting with these two in the first place?"

"They must have their reasons, Rosalie." Carlisle said in a defense of the two. I rolled my eyes at him and picked up my magazine again.

"Well, their reasons nearly got us killed, don't forget that." I said before I flipped back to the page that I was reading. I heard Carlisle sighed heavily and turned to face Heloise and Aurora. Even if it appeared I was reading the magazine, but I was watching my family and listening to them having this discussion with these two troublemakers. It would be good if Silvester was here too, seeing that he had that kind of unknown scent that none of us know anything of.

"I'll get straight to the point, if you don't mind. What exactly are you two?" Carlisle inquired softly. Heloise and Aurora both looked at each other before a small sigh escaped their parted lips. They turned to look at Carlisle, their eyes seemed to be apologetic for a second before it faded.

"I'm a Harpy, though I'm only half. My dad is a human and he has died out long ago from alcohol overdose. I used to have two brothers but I've lost them to the civil war back then, they possessed nothing from my half Harpy Mother like I did. My Mother is still alive but I haven't spoken to her in a long time, plus I have lost all contact of her." Heloise paused as a small chuckle escaped her. "She still manages to find her way into my bank account just to deposit some money for my living cost though. It's a shame that I can't still find her."

I saw something flashed before Jasper's eyes, and it was his turn to speak. "If you don't mind, may I ask what your brothers' names were?"

Heloise turned to Jasper and nodded. "Frederick and Leon Samson."

Recognition shown in Jasper's eyes and he ducked in his in guild and shame. "I apologize for their death and your loss. I should of have protected them then."

Heloise cocked her head to the side in confusion. "What do you mean? You were in the army with them?"

Jasper looked up with a small smile. "I was a Major, an officer in the Confederate Army."

Heloise nodded at that but didn't comment on it. Aurora took this as her turn to speak.

"I'm a Siren, although only half. My Mother is a human, and my Father is a full Siren. I'm the only child in the family, so I'm a little bit spoiled." Aurora chuckled at this and I just rolled my eyes. A little bit spoiled wouldn't be what I would describe it. Majorly spoiled would be perfect for her. "I may be rude sometimes and I apologize for my behavior in advance. I've never associate with anyone much and I'm quite a bit of a reserve person. My mother is, well, dead due to old age. Only my Father is alive and has been traveling around the world a lot. So I have no way of contacting him whatsoever."

Carlisle nodded at the information and what he had learned from these two. "What are you abilities?"

"I could transform into a Harpy. Even if I was only a half-breed, I could still fight like a true Harpy." Heloise said with a sigh, it was obvious that she didn't like to be what she was. At least I could tolerate her, just a tad.

"I can control the nature; earth, water, wind, fire and of course plants. I also have an alluring voice, so when I use it on someone they would listen to me." Aurora looked over to Edward with a smirk. "Right, Edward?"

Edward chuckled and nodded. "Right, once she uses that voice on you there is no way out. You either do what she says or you'd feel terribly uncomfortable about it. It is more uncomfortable than the thirst for blood."

"I see. Do you mind if I asked how many time a week would your bloodlust would resurface?" Carlisle asked in a serious tone, startling the both of them. God, I wanted to ask about what Silvester was but that would mean prying into his privacy. Would it matter though? Of course not. If he was anything like Heloise and Aurora then I needed a warning, the Cullen needed a warning before they would go off to hunt again.

"We don't…actually know. We tried to keep track of it but it always happens randomly. At least it happens to us both at the same time, and not at a different time." Heloise answered.

"And if you wanted to suggest that we should drink animal blood, it wouldn't do us any good. We haven't tried it, of course, but the thought of it sounded so vile and disgusting." Aurora added with a shudder.

"Blood is blood." Emmett said with a shrug. "Animal bloods suppress the thirst, but not really fully satisfy you. You should give it a shot."

Both Heloise's and Aurora's nose crinkled in disgust. "We'd rather not."

Carlisle sighed and put his face in his hands. Heloise turned to look at him, then she sighed and shook her head. "You haven't told us your name."

Carlisle looked up at the comment and smiled apologetically. It was then that Esme had entered the room and joined by his side. "My name is Carlisle, and this is my wife Esme."

Esme smiled at the two softly and turned to look at Alice. "She's asleep."

It didn't take a stupid person to know who she was talking about; the human, Bella, was asleep. Alice nodded before looking up towards the stairs in longing. I know that Bella was supposed to be her soul-mate, and I also know that Alice was taking things slow so she wouldn't scare the girl. I still was against the whole idea of her mating with a human. What would happen if Bella got hurt and die? I surely didn't want Alice to go along with her human lover and join the other world.

"So, why are we here?" Aurora finally spoke up after a moment of silent. I had to hold the urge to growl at that. Here we were, sitting here and talking to them when they had no idea what they had put my family into. Couldn't they smell the stink that the mutts had left behind? I'd probably have to burn the clothes that I was wearing to get rid of that stink.

"You two were the one that killed Harry Clearwater." Alice said lowly.

"So we've heard." Heloise sighed. "We heard Bella talking to this boy over the phone about it."

"Yes, the people down in La Push are werewolves, our natural enemies. We had set a treaty that we would never hunt on their land or bite any humans. They have come over to us asking about Harry's death since they saw the bite marks." Carlisle said with a sigh. "We had offered to look into this, and since we already know you two were behind the kill I didn't really want to turn you in. You two are nice people, but you have so little control of your thirst."

Heloise and Aurora both looked down in embarrassment at the comment. However, it looked like that Edward wanted to get rid of them right now seeing that we had outnumbered them. I guess he was only thinking about Bella's safety and not our family safety at all. He let out a refusal growl and directed his gaze at both of the girls. I had to put down my magazine to watch this more closely. I had to admit that it was getting quite entertaining.

"No! How are we going to tell this to the pack? Besides, if Alice wasn't near Bella earlier they would have killed her!" He roared, but only so that he wouldn't wake Bella up.

Both girls tensed at this, but Heloise stayed where she was and only Aurora stood up with a menacing glare at Edward. "Edward, I would advise you not to anger me."

"And I would do exactly what she said if I were you." Heloise added tiredly. She then turned to Carlisle, her mouth slightly opened and before she could even get a word out, Edward was already jumping in.

"Only two of you and many of us here, what exactly can you do?" Edward remarked with a smirk.

"I'm not fighting your battle Edward. I am not protecting that pathetic human." I said with a growl.

"Edward, one more warning. Back the hell down." Aurora growled and I could feel the whole room heating up. Jasper was having problem controlling the emotion from Aurora, and soon enough he gave up on it and stayed silent.

It was then that Edward made the stupidest move ever in his vampiric life. He lunged forward at Aurora with a dangerous snarl. Emmett didn't even bother getting up from the chair when his eyes were watching his brother getting in with the action. Alice didn't make an attempt to move, and Carlisle and Esme only watched with disapproval in their eyes. Heloise sat there silently, watching the whole thing played out just like I was. Edward latched his arm out to grab onto Aurora's neck, but in a flash she had disappeared from his sight only to reappear behind him. She placed one of her slender hands on his back, where his unbeaten heart was, and whispered too softly for any of us to hear but we could still manage to catch it. "Burn."

Edward screamed in pain as he collapsed on the ground while clutching at his chest. Jasper was whimpering at the emotion that Edward was giving off, and Aurora made no move after that. She only watched Edward writhing on the floor. It was then that I felt my husband started to move. It was too late for me to stop him when I saw him lunging forward Aurora in the look of entertainment in his eyes. I had shouted for him to stop but it didn't look like he listened to me. Aurora quickly turned to face him, and before he could even touch her face he had already being blasted back against the opposite wall. It was a relief for Esme that the wall was completely blank. God, Aurora hadn't even touched him! Her powers were one to be reckoned with.

Jasper took this chance to sneak up to her, and it didn't look like Aurora even noticed it. Jasper used to be a major after all, and he had been trained more than any of us had. However, I wasn't even watching Heloise so when I noticed that she had gone from her place, I had begun to panic. I looked towards where Aurora stood, her lips were pulling back in a smirk and her eyes were filled with realization. It was then that I knew that Aurora knew that Jasper was coming for her. She just didn't seem to look like she would be fighting him off. When Jasper appeared just behind her with his arms outstretched, Heloise instantly appeared in front of him with her hand wrapped around his face. He let out a groan when he was being pushed back against the opposite wall, his back hitting the wall with a huge impact that he had flew right through a couple of walls behind it. Heloise then turned to face the rest of us that were watching in pure shock. Not only that Aurora had the powers that we should feared about, but Heloise had the strength and speed that could outmatched us. Truly, Edward had picked the wrong people to be enemies with.

"Well, it looks like that there will be no sort of 'treaty' between us huh?" Aurora said with a dark chuckle. Heloise didn't look too please about this, however, and she had grabbed Aurora's shoulder to turn her around to face her.

"Aurora, this is not entertainment." Heloise said, all kind of amusement in her used to be cheerful tone was gone. I just wasn't sure whether she was putting up an act or she was truly curious about it. I couldn't trust anyone that was outside of my family zone – or even comfort zone. The only one that I could even trust was Emmett, seeing that he was my mate and he would never betray me. The rest of my family was hard to know, seeing I didn't have the mind reading ability or the future-seeing one.

Aurora looked up at Heloise with disbelieving eyes, I bet that she didn't even care about Edward still writhing and clutching so tightly at his chest beneath her. "When do we ever going to get entertainment, Heloise? You know where I've come from, where I've been raised. I live for entertainment." Her voice couldn't sound anymore incredulous than it was now and I was getting sick of having to listen to her.

"Then you surely don't have to stay with me if you don't even want to!" Heloise's voice was raised in two octaves, and I didn't exactly fear that the human upstairs would be up. The sound of a fight going on down here was enough to wake any human up, even if the room was soundproof.

Aurora flinched at the words escaped Heloise's words, and she seemed to try to not register any of those words in her head that she didn't even notice Emmett running up at her with wide grin stretching out on his face. Jasper was also running towards them, but he was aiming more towards Heloise than Aurora. The two girls looked like they didn't even sense it coming, but I felt all too smug a bit too soon. I didn't know the fact that Aurora was still paying attention, I didn't know that she could even make the rest of our family to fall down onto our knees while trying to grab at that air that seemed to be weighing us down. Even though we didn't really need oxygen, but feeling the air weighing down on you with the oxygen being overpowered was unbearably uncomfortable. Heloise was the only one that was unaffected by this powerful force.

"Let them go, enough is enough." I heard Heloise sighed and just by her words, I felt the air being lifted from me and it was back to normal again. I could breathe again. That didn't really say anything when Edward was still on the floor screaming in pain though.

"Umm, maybe you should release Edward too?" Alice spoke up as she gracefully stood on her two feet.

Aurora snapped her head over to Alice and glared at her. "Why? You want to see him having a go at me again?"

"I think you've shown us enough of your power, do you think?" Carlisle said as his eyes watching the both of them.

Aurora let out a groan in annoyance and Edward stopped screaming afterward. However, he was still clutching at his chest while staying on the floor. "I'm going home, if you need anything just call or whatever." She threw her hands up and fleeted out of the door, barely even wait for Heloise. Well she didn't need a car to get back, seeing that she already had the speed for it.

Heloise sighed and turned to face Carlisle, before her eyes drifting to the rest of our family before they landed on Jasper. "Sorry, but I just don't really like sneaky attacks even if I know Aurora is capable of protecting herself."

"Then I guess I apologize for doing so." Jasper ducked his head before continuing again. "You're strong, but you're very careful with your movement."

Heloise just shrugged and turned to face Carlisle. "I apologize for her actions, especially the whole holding all of you down with gravity. She doesn't like when she's being attacked, and she's not the kind to give out second chances." The brunette paused and sighed. "She acts on her instincts most of the time, and she doesn't like to feel weak. If you gang up on her like that, she'd just going to prove how much of a threat she is to you. If you want us to leave, we'll leave and there won't be any harm done."

As much as I wanted them to leave, but what about the wolves? "You've already created a complication between us and the wolves. They've just found a perfect excuse to get rid of us." I scowled.

It was when she turned to me, her hazel eyes bore into mine before she sighed tiredly. "We can go down with your family to tell them about it, then we can leave."

Alice pouted at this. "But I don't want you to leave, you're too fun to be around with. I wouldn't mind if Aurora wouldn't be here though, she's too…uncomfortable to be with."

"Wouldn't the word you're looking for is bitchy?" I asked with a smirk. Although Alice rolled her eyes at me but I didn't miss the smile that graced her lips.

"You two don't need to leave." Carlisle spoke up as he walked over to Heloise, he stopped when he was just an arm reach. "We can teach you how to control your thirst. We can teach you to drink animal blood, but if you don't like it then I could provide you two with some blood bags from the hospital. That way you don't need to kill."

Heloise's eyes lit up at this and she clasped her hands together with glee. "Really? You'd teach us?"

Alice chuckled at this before she waltzed over to her, hooking her short arm over Heloise's own. "Of course! If you're willing to learn."

Heloise beamed, literally beamed, at both Carlisle and Alice. "Oh my god! That's great! Our parents only taught us how to kill and satiate our thirst when the time comes. They've never said about a substitution or how to do it without killing."

Well, at least there was some hope in Heloise, I wasn't sure if there was some hope in Aurora though. This got me to ask her, "What about Aurora? Do you think she'd be eager to learn?"

Heloise frowned at this. She shouldn't be, seeing that she had been with Aurora for years, not to mention that they were best of friends. "I'm not too sure. It's hard to get her to co-operate, and she does whatever she wants and she knows she can get away with it too. The word 'rejection' or 'decline' or 'no' doesn't really exist in her world."

Now that sounded like me when I was still a human, only that I wasn't that much of a suck up bitch like this blonde was. I didn't have the power to make everyone bow before me. I just had the power to make everyone envy me because of my good looks, and I was still cursed by it for eternity to come. So just hearing about Aurora's personality much like my own, I had a feeling that it would be very hard to convince her to even meet up with these mutts to get our asses out of their threat. Aurora was clearly a threat to all of us now that she had revealed and demonstrated her powers. I wondered if she could even put these mutts on the leash so they wouldn't run around wildly.

"This is going to be difficult." Carlisle sighed. "By the way, why are you two so interested in Bella? She's a human, unlike the two of you."

At this Heloise smiled. "There's just this feeling that pulls us towards her when we laid our eyes on her for the first time. Even though she looks human, I can tell that mortality isn't what she needs. Also, she's too attentive for her own good, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of us. I've never once met a human that would converse with me for more than five minutes, unless they are drunk."

She then turned to look at Alice, her lips stretching up into a bigger smile with amusement hinted in it. "If she was to become a vampire, I'm sure her ability will overpower Aurora's own." Without looking at Alice's reaction, she turned back to Carlisle. "There have been quite a few times that Aurora had used her alluring voice on Bella, but they were ineffective. I'm intrigued by this, really I am."

But I wasn't, I thought as I folded my arms across my chest with a frown. Then again not that anyone care, not even Edward since he had recovered from whatever that Aurora had done to him. Wait, I honestly wanted to know what she had done to him. I turned to look at him when he heard my thought, and raised my eyebrow in question. He let out a groan that got everyone's attention.

"Edward, is there something wrong?" Esme asked in concern as she was immediately by his side.

"Nothing, Rosalie wanted to know what Aurora had done to me and…I don't really want to relive that feeling, ever."

I rolled my eyes at him. God, he was such a child even though he was so much older than me in vampire years. Heloise's giggle got me to look at her, and she nodded her head before opening her mouth to answer what I wanted to know. "She set his heart up into flame."

The rest of us gasped in shock, and Esme's hand was immediately on Edward's chest, rubbing his chest if the motion would make him feel any better. "Don't worry about it, she doesn't kill unless she has to. She loves to torture people though when they think they can outpower her. The flame isn't that great to actually kill Edward, it was just enough to make him feel the intense pain."

"Has she ever done this to you?" Edward asked, there was a hint of hope in his tone and I couldn't help but growl at him. He was such a bastard, and I know that he had just read what I thought about him.

Heloise shook her head. "No, she has been all too kind when she met me. I'm trying my hardest to entertain her since I know that her life has always been entertaining until she met me…I liked the peace when she loved to go out and party. Even that sort of entertainment wouldn't satisfy her. She loves using her power…and well Silvester is not enough for her it seems." She sighed and that only spiked my curiosity more.

"What exactly is Silvester?" I asked and hopefully she'd answer, but to my dismay she shook her head apologetically with the word 'Sorry' accompanying it. Guess we could always find it out sooner or later when it was his turn to make any kind of complication.

"So, when are we going to do this? The whole self-control thing and the wolf thing." Heloise said as she glanced back and forth at Carlisle and Alice.

Carlisle held up his hand with a curious look. "One thing, why do you protect Bella?"

Heloise blinked at his question as if trying to let her brain register to what he had just said, before she let out a quiet laugh. "She's the only human friend that I've made for a while, and she's the only human that isn't afraid of supernatural beings. I trust her and it would quite upsetting if anything or anyone would hurt her."

Carlisle nodded before he went silent, probably thinking about what time would be best for the two other supernatural to meet up with the wolves. I rolled my eyes, not knowing if it would be such a good idea or not. Even though I really wanted to see the mutts get their ass beaten and handed to them, I still didn't want to see my family get involved in any of this. We had been living so peacefully until Alice wanted to move to Forks, only because she had a vision of Bella. Esme was so thrilled that Alice had finally found a mate, but that didn't mean our other two bachelors were off the hook. I had a feeling that Jasper would soon found his mate soon, but I'd doubt Edward would be able to finally find his mate. He could always go for Tanya, but I guess that blonde was too much for him.

"I'm going up the stairs to rest." I started as I moved my body towards the stairs. I paused where there were triple huge holes that Jasper had crashed into them and sighed. "By the way, the human girl would be wondering why there are three huge holes in the house. I hope you'd find a story to cover this up."

I noticed Alice rolling her eyes at me but I paid no mind to it. I walked up the stairs and heard a sound of heavy footsteps behind me. I know that was Emmett behind me so I continued to walk, though I didn't miss Carlisle telling Heloise the time and place for her and Aurora to meet up with the wolves.

"Saturday, which will be a day from then, in the afternoon at around three o'clock. Meet us here and I'm sure the rest of the pack from the reservation will show up."

Oh joy, I couldn't wait for Saturday to come.

A/N

This chapter seems to be longer than the previous..So..Sorry.

Well now that you can see Aurora can take on all the rest of the vampires if she really wants to. It's fun to make Aurora to be more bitchy than Rosalie, but she's not as vain as Rosalie is. Also, there won't be any Bella/Jacob relationship/crush crap. Bella's relationship with Jacob, as Jacob's relationship with Bella, will just be brother and sister kind. And since Jacob is purgh, Renesmee won't be happening in this story :3
