Hi guys!

I wanted to post it in the morning but there was too many setbacks... So it's 13h34 and here it is!

I have a replay to the guest that reviewed last chapter at the end.

Enjoy it. ;)

Chapter 20

Bella and the attacker fought for a while. Bella raised a shield around them so Edward would not interfere. She was seeing red and she only wanted to hurt the person that hurt her mate. She was inexperienced with fighting but she could defend herself with her magic and since her powers were connected to nature her instincts were sharp. The attacker was good, but she would not stand a chance against Bella.

The attacker was almost unconscious when Bella calmed down enough to realize what was going on around her. Someone was growling, howling and barking at her and Edward was trying to call to her to calm down. She stopped in her tracks panting and was able to see that the other Cats were looking at her astonished, a bit of fear but mostly a bit of respect. She also saw that she was being growled by a bit wolf with big fangs and red eyes that was contained by a magical shield. Her grandparents had a neutral face but she could see in both their eyes and magical auras that they were proud that she could stand her ground.

When her breath got back to normal she calmed down enough to change back to human. She dissolved the shield around her and the other Cat and went to Edward's side to see his wound. She looked into his eyes to try and access if he was in pain, after that she to his hand from the wound and winced. He was in pain, and there was too much blood, someone should have helped him, but she bet he was too stubborn to let someone see his injuries before he was sure she was all right. "I am fine, Edward, now let me help you!" She said to him to make him stop struggle with her so she could heal him.

She put both her hands on his side, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and let her magic flow from her hands to his wound, willing it all to close without hurting him. Edward was only capable of looking at his mate with wonder and love in his eyes while he felt the warmth of her magic. When she was over he kissed her temple. "Thank you, my love." She smiled in return and kissed his cheek. "You are welcome, it was my fault to begin with." She looked guilty and he frowned.

"No it was not, it was Tanya's. But she will not bother us anymore. I am almost certain she was imprinted on and as soon as she wakes up she will most likely imprint on him." Bella looked confused for a while but as she turned around she understood what Edward told her.

"Jacob?" She glanced at Edward and he nodded. She sighed and approached Tanya again. Jacob started fussing again but Bella didn't pay any attention. She kneeled next to Tanya's cheetah form, put her hands on her and after a deep breath and closing her eyes she started to heal her. When she was finished she stepped way and went with Edward to Jacobs other side. Once they were both way from her and this time protected by a shield she woke Tanya up.

She went quickly to her feet and looked around to try and find Bella but when she saw Jacob she froze. She could not believe that she imprinted, on a Mutt no less and a really weird too. She shook her head more than once and whined. Jacob changed back to human and got closer to her. She tried to claw him but a bit part of her didn't let her do that. Every cell in her body recognized him as her mate even thought her brain didn't want to process it. She starts to back off but everyone could see that her attitude was reluctant. She turns back to human and glares at Bella. "What did you do, you Witch?" She spits the last word.

Bella sighs and speaks calmly. "The only thing I did, after I beat you up because of the wound you did to my mate, was heal you. I have nothing to do with your imprint and I am not a Witch. I am a Sorceress."

King Geoffrey steps forward to talk to King Carlisle. "I hope you changed your mind about capturing young Isabella, King Carlisle. Otherwise you will have a war with us. We will not accept our Heir to the Throne to me mistreated." All the Cats gasped in unison.

"What are you saying? She cannot be your heir, she is a hybrid." King Carlisle said astonished.

"I am aware of that, Cat King. Her mother might have been Lady Renée Higginbotham, but her father was my second child Prince Charles Swan. And because of that, Isabella is my only Grandchild and future Queen of our Kingdom." Both King Geoffrey and Queen Helen look at Bella fondly. "We thank you profusely for her education." They bow slightly at King Carlisle and Queen Esme. "And for taking so good care of her until now. But we will not permit for her to be wrongly accused. Your son is welcome in our lands as ours Princess mate and you all might as well if you stop this nonsense."

Queen Helen spoke up before the Cats could try and say something. "If you are wondering if our people would be against it." She beckoned the Sorcerers that came with them forward. "Would you mind showing our little secret to the Cats? I think we should end this stupidity once and for all."

The few sorcerers that were nearby teleported themselves to their Queens side bowed to her and showed the Cats their true forms. Some of them shifted to Cats, or Wolfs, or Foxes, other appeared more vampiric, others more elfish. "As you can see, most of us are hybrids and always have been. We never cast them aside. They are what keep our bloodlines strong!"

Edward stepped forward this time. "If you don't accept Bella I will renounce the throne. Emmett is more than capable to rule in my place. One thing is for sure, I will not be separated from Bella." He spoke clearly and firmly. Queen Esme put her hand in front of her mouth but King Carlisle was the one who spoke. "You cannot be serious, Edward. You have to calm down before you take a decision like that."

"I am calm Father, I have been calm for a while now. I know what my decision implies and I would understand if you want to exile me for being with a hybrid even if I never understood why they are outcast. You should not be afraid of the different just because they are not like you." He looks at Bella fondly. "Some may be bad, but others might be the purest kind of good there is. They are people just like all of us. They breath like us, talk like us even if they may speak other languages, and they feel exactly like us!"

Every single Cat lowered their heads as if in shame. "You are right, Son. We tried to teach all of you to be kind to all people, to never judge without all the information and we did this to Bella. We apologize to both of you. Our actions have no excuse. You are welcome in our Kingdom, Princess Isabella. And we will be honored if you would accept our apologies." King Carlisle said at last and all the others agreed.

"I accept your apologies, King Carlisle. But if we will change the mentality of everyone it might take a while to do so, but I think we can start with the ball. Speaking of which… We should go if we want to be there for tomorrow with a good night sleep. King Geoffrey, King Carlisle, should we take our new friends?" Bella looks at Jacob and the other hybrids.

"I think that is a wonderful idea, my dear." King Geoffrey smiled at Bella and whispered as he got closer to her and Edward's hears. "Please, both of you should call us by Grampa and Gramma whenever we are with family." Both Edward and Bella smiled and nodded.

"I think it could be helpful to have them there. But we will not be able to arrive there in time for the ball." King Carlisle says.

"Do not worry, my King. We will." Bella smiles and turns to the hybrids. "Could you guys go closer to the Cats? That would be really helpful, thank you. Edward, can you go to your family side? It would be easier for us." He signs but nods and after giving Bella a kiss on her cheek he goes to stand near his parents. All the sorcerers gathered around the group of Cats and hybrids and opened their arms before looking at King Geoffrey for instructions. But Bella was the one who spoke. "Focus on me. I will be the main power source if there is any need for it. I also be the guide of this little trip since I know the Castle better than you. Please only try to keep them all together so this journey will be safe for everyone." After they all confirmed they understood Bella first focused in shielding everyone after that she started to sing, loud and clear. Ever since she was little she noticed ithat whenever she sang while doing magic the results with be better and achieved faster. After a few minutes the scenery changed and they were no more in the open field of the land the hybrids took as their own, but in the middle of the gardens on the Cat's Palace. After Bella dissolved the shield she smiled at Edward before everything went black.

To be continued...

Hi again! What did you thought of the chapter? You liked it?

Now, my dear guest! Thanks for reading and reviewing. I love when you guys comment on the fic. :)

The "problem" is that Edward and Bella may have seen the obsession, but she never showned any signs of it in from of the others so they chose to believe someone they have known from birth. By the way... No one is going to die, but she got beat up a little. ;)

I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

There is going to be two more updates, so you only have to wait two weeks...

Now I'm going to do some stuff before I have to go out.

Take care,

Vivx-chan ^^
