Hey guys I know last post was about me doing a rewrite and it's true but since I looked at all the followers and people who put this story in their favorites I mean, I just went wow it was amazing and it felt so good that a lot of people liked this story.
So instead of making a whole new story I'll just be going back and rewriting chapters, so far none have been rewritten but I'll be working on it but for now this is chapter 20!
-O-O-O-O-O-
Bella's POV
-O-O-O-O-O-
Things have been quite complicated as of late.
When I say complicated I mean with the Crossmarks.
Let me get you guys updated, it turns out Demons, which is what the Crossmarks are, have mates.
Rosalie is not Emmett's mate surprising but instead his sister Annie is.
Flash Back
I was walking to the kitchen to grab a donut, I really had a sweet tooth but I just happened to walk in on Emmett and his father having an important conversation.
It seems that his sister, Annie was hungry as well because she froze behind me, unwilling to interrupt their conversation but so nosy she was unable to walk away.
"Do you feel the pull?" I heard Punch ask Emmett, Pull? What kind of pull was he talking about? My eyes briefly flickered to Annie as her breath started to become shallow.
"I don't understand." Emmett responded
I moved my head little to get a clear view inside of the kitchen to see them
Punch groaned leaning on the table in the middle of the kitchen.
"Son, all demons have a mate, "Demonic Mating" they call it, a demon lord named Xero had one her name was Keriis, a young boy found one a few months ago, a Descendent of the demon lord actually, and many others while you were gone, but they all have the same symptoms, extreme protectiveness being one and the other being very high…um hormones I should say, until you mate they are very high and hard to control, it would seem like another personality of sorts."
What the hell was he saying?
"Have you felt any of this with woman you claim to be your mate?" he asked looking Emmett in the eyes
"for the first few decades me and rose couldn't keep our hands off each other, as well as being protective of her, I'd die for her" Emmett responded, that seemed to anger him though he didn't show it, I wouldn't have known if I didn't notice see his hand grip the table, making a crack in it.
"But she didn't know you were a demon today. Meaning she isn't your mate" he said which made Emmett growl in turn
"You've been together for years, at some point the mating would've taken over you and she'd be marked, not in their stupid little vampire why, not a demon marking. When that happens you'd have no control over it meaning she'd notice and by now she'd know you were a demon, I say this because no kind of marking is settled it's always noticeable." He explained
Emmett shook his head; I guess he was in denial.
"Son, you have to accept it, yes sometimes the Demonic mating doesn't show up for years but you have had decades on top of decades you two even mated before and I can only guess how many times, if she were your mate you would know. I would smell it on her, she doesn't smell like you nor does she bare your mark, hell despite her being a vampire if she were your mate she'd be carrying your child by now or would have had one!" Punch said despite his calm voice at the beginning it quickly changed into a voice of anger, trying to force Emmett to understand.
"NO!" Emmett roared slamming his hands on top of the table breaking it.
"I'm sorry son, but I don't think you'll have to look far for your mate anyways, I mean it's happened before sometimes some demons are mated with their si-" Emmett cut him off before he could finish with a glare, but I had a very strong feeling he was going to say, siblings.
Siblings could be mates…
Holy fuck, Annie's right behind me. She's witnessing her mate's rejection.
"Father, I love you, but Rosalie is my mate. No one else and I will not accept anyone else." Emmett told him with a strain voice making his eyes widen.
"Emmett, please hear me out! If you don't you'll only hurt your si-"once again, Emmett cut him off.
Sister, his sister, holy crap my theory was right.
"I DON'T CARE WHO I HURT! No one will get in the way of what me and Rosalie have!" with that Emmett marched out of the room, right past me and Annie who seemed to be holding tightly to her chest where her heart was.
Emmett froze when he saw us, he was about to say something when I turned around, grabbed Annie and ran away with her.
After running away from Emmett I toke Annie to my room and laid her on the bed.
She stayed that way for hours, I really felt bad for the girl.
After the first ten minutes Emmett came to my room and saw the damage he has unknowingly done. I told him to give her awhile. After the first hour he screamed for Carlisle to fix her, Carlisle in turn told him she was in shock.
Punch said nothing, only stayed by his daughter's side, Heather did the same.
At some point my family came to check in only for me to tell them that I'd see them later, after Annie was okay.
Hours past, and she never once blinked, she didn't move an inch, it was five hours later when she hugged herself and let out a heart breaking sob.
Heather pulled Annie into her arms quickly while Punch rubbed her back, though I didn't know the full story, I could understand her pain, I felt so damn bad for her.
Emmett's face showed complete torture and pain, he hand kept twitching towards her making me assume he was fighting the urge to hold her.
Once Annie calmed down she insisted that she be alone, with the exception of me since it was my room.
Her eyes rose to meet mine, and all I saw was emptiness in them.
"As long as he's happy" she said and repeated it to herself under her breath, gripping her hair tightly as she rocked back and forth.
I was no demon, but I could see this broke her, and I'd help her…I understood heart break, though I've yet to feel the heart break from my mate, I will still help her to the best of my ability.
After a few minutes she got up and straightened out her close muttering to herself "I can't let him see me weak, I have to be happy for him…" she was doing all of this for him, hiding her pain, putting on a smile and hurting herself just for him.
Okay, so she's his true love, meaning I have to be on her side, not that I hate Rosalie, okay I do hate Rosalie, okay more like dislike her.
I still have to be on true love's side and try to do it without hurting Rosalie which was most likely impossible.
But hearing her say these things, probably thinking my half human ears can't hear her, it was heart breaking.
"Why don't you take a shower?" I offered "I can pull out some clothes for you" I added.
She didn't bother looking at me; she just nodded and went towards the bathroom.
End of flash back
So now I'm sitting here helping Annie to get her idiot of a brother to realize she's his true love, and it isn't easy when you have to help her leave most of the time because she's feels as if she's being torn apart every time she sees him with Rose.
Now I'm breaking the fourth wall here but you're probably wondering where did this come from, I mean last time you saw me your father was attacking you!
Well, get over it, I happen to get over things pretty easily.
His abuse is something I'm used to, anyways that was like totally last month! Sorry couldn't resist going valley girl style.
Damon has been trying to get to know me again and I've been bonding with Richard, and no, this does not help with my love life.
That doesn't matter right now, what could happen between me, Damon or Richard probably won't be forever no matter how much I want it to, but Emmett and Annie? They're mates, so of course that will be forever.
I was torn away from my thoughts as Annie walked into my room shaking, and when I say shaking I mean shaking, bad. It was even worse than when the shapeshifters were shifting.
"Annie, what happened?" I asked her
"I…I was going for the walk in the forest…and I saw them Ara, they were doing things." Oh god is she telling me she saw Emmett and Rosalie having sex?
"Annie…are you saying what I think you're saying?" I asked, she responded with a nod as she fell to her knees, covering her face with her hands sobbing.
"He wants me here Ara but I can't do this anymore! I can't stand to watch this anymore; it doesn't just hurt me emotionally but physically! He gets a free ride because he hasn't taken the time to recognize me as his mate but I have! I have had decades and it HURTS!" she sobbed
I walked over and kneeled beside her, pulling her into my arms and rocking her back and forth.
"I can take you away for a while if you want Annie, I can do that for you." I told her.
She just continued sobbing, not saying a word.

Emmett's POV
-O-O-O-O-O-O-
Things have been weird.
After the conversation of Demonic Mates with my father things just have gotten so much more confusing.
Every time Rosie and I would try to have sex, it just wouldn't go up!
It was starting to get to her, so I offered that we go out into the forest and have a go at it.
That didn't work either.
We were still trying when a scent invaded our area, a scent that was intoxicating.
I always smelt it in the house so I assumed it was someone in the house but never bothered about it.
But to know someone in the house was witnessing this I got nervous for some reason.
When I looked up I saw the devastated face of my sister, and to say it didn't affect me more than it should have would be a lie.
She bolted off and I followed her while trying to get myself clothed.
When she reached the house she ripped the door handle off and ran straight to Arabell's room.
She has been spending a lot of time there lately.
She stood in the door way shaking, badly.
"Annie, what happened?" I heard Arabell ask her.
"I…I was going for the walk in the forest…and I saw them Ara, they were doing things." That affected her this bad? I mean I know I'm her older brother but don't tell me she was that traumatized.
"Annie, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Ara asked. Did Annie always run to Arabell with her problems? I mean I'm right here so why…
Annie nodded before falling to her knees which made my heart clench.
"He wants me here Ara but I can't do this anymore! I can't stand to watch this anymore; it doesn't just hurt me emotionally but physically! He gets a free ride because he hasn't taken the time to recognize me as his mate but I have! I have had decades and it HURTS!" she sobbed.
I felt my heart drop,
"He hasn't taken the time to recognize me as his mate"
My mind was suddenly clouded, was this why dad was trying so hard to convince me to look for other possibilities? My sister was my actual mate and I've hurting her this whole time?
There's no way, they must've brain washed her, no way in hell.
Arabell walked over and kneeled beside her, pulling her into her arms and rocking her back and forth.
"I can take you away for a while if you want Annie, I can do that for you." She told her.
She just continued sobbing, not saying a word.
I on the other hand turned and walked away.
It wasn't possible, I refused to believe it.
My little sister was NOT my mate, Rosie was, and she always has been.
Maybe my dad got into the wrong crowd and started worrying about keeping our blood pure and all that demonic politic crap.
She isn't my mate, she ISN'T you mate Emmett.
She's brainwashed you just have to prove to her that they're wrong.
Damn it….this is fucked up.
Hey guys, I know that the problem just came in this chapter and Emmett's already finding out, and I'm going to be honest.
I was going to have it go on for a while but since you guys waited so long for this chapter only to find out it was being rewritten and then this I decided to write a longer chapter which lead to this.
Either way I hoped you enjoyed the chapter! :D
please reveiw~
