Chapter 26 – No Matter What

Hey everyone, I cannot say how sorry I am that it has been so long since I last updated this story, I do not have any excuses….well I do, I'm moving again this time to good ole Liverpool but I feel that this time I cannot use moving as an excuse, I have just been sort of ignoring my stories these past however long it has been and for that I apologize.

I do hope that I get no negative feedback because of my absence :S

Anyway on with the next chapter!

"Look at them Isabella, they left you without a care in the world, they left you….treated you as if you were a piece of meat….they thought of you as a weak, pathetic…..insignificant little human and yet look at you now, strong….powerful….not a weak little human anymore, just your presence alone can invoke a fear in each of them that they will never feel from any other being." He said as he circled the girl and watched as her eyes narrowed at the group in front of her, all of who were watching her with wide pleading eyes.

"I made you this Isabella….I made you strong and powerful, I changed you from that weak little individual you used to be….. …..show me the darkness that resides in you….show me what you can do…but above all, show them exactly why they should fear you…..make them feel the pain you went through when they left…..cause them as much pain as they have caused you.' He said as he swept Isabella's hair aside and pressed a light kiss on the side of her exposed neck,

'Kill them Isabella."

72 Hours Earlier

"I love you."

Alice leaned back and starred at her girlfriend for a moment before the words that had just left Bella's lips settled in her mind and a wide beaming grin spread across her lips before the pixie flung herself forward and attached her lips to her startled love's.

"Oh Bella….my sweet Bella, I have waited so…I love you too." Alice murmured against Bella's lips before pressing them in a meaningful kiss. "I'm sorry I haven't said it sooner….it's just…..I just." Bella started to say but Alice cut her off. "Shhh Bella I know….I know and it doesn't matter…..I'm just so happy I got to hear those words from you again that I don't care if I had to wait another day….another month….another year….another ten years…..I would have waited forever." The psychic said as she stepped closer to Bella so their bodies were now flush against each other and they could feel all of one another.

"Alice." Bella sighed against her vampire's lips as she pressed her trembling body even closer to her pixies. "I'll always love you Bella…...no matter what." Alice whispered as she pulled back slightly so she could look into her girlfriend's eyes which she could see were slightly lighter than the intense dark purple that had started to reside there.

The two girls stared into each other's eyes and saw the pure love that shone through them and without another word their lips crashed together in a frenzy of kisses, their hands grasping the others bodies as if they were afraid that the other would disappear if they loosened their grip for even a second.

In a surprising move Bella bent down a little and wrapped her arms around the tops of her vampire's thighs, so much so that her arms brushed her girlfriend's firm yet smooth round arse and with a stunning display of strength that Alice knew her girlfriend shouldn't have, lifted the pixie off the shower floor as if she was as light as a feather, which Alice knew she wasn't because of how hard her skin was and some other things that Carlisle had explained to her about her anatomy that Alice couldn't for the life of her remember right now but she remembered that it meant that Alice would be heavier than the heaviest human that lived on Earth and yet here her girlfriend was picking her up as if she weighed next to nothing.

The spiky haired vampire stored that piece of information for a later date as she wrapped her legs around Bella's waist and let her hands tangle in her mate's wet locks as Bella opened the shower door and stepped out of it, leaving the shower running.

Bella carried Alice from the bathroom into the psychic's bedroom, their kiss never breaking even when Bella placed her girlfriend on the pixie's double bed…..but that was only because Alice grabbed onto her love's shoulders and used a bit of her strength to bring Bella down with her. Their bodies slid against each other as they sought out the friction that they so desperately craved. The brunette's hands seemed to have taken on a mind of their own as one propped her up on her side as the other trailed down Alice's body…starting at the top of her face on her left temple, down her cheek before she stopped at her jaw for a moment to stroke it tenderly as their kissing turned into a slow, gentle tango compared to the hot passionate salsa that it was mere seconds ago. It was as if the fire that had ignited in the two girls in the shower, the fire that had started to burn in them, that made them crave the other's touch, had dimmed until it was practically embers as the two girls tried to convey how much they loved each other just with their lips.

But then the fire roared to life once more until it was all consuming.

Carlisle sat in his office as he continued to wrack his brain for any information…any idea…even a slither of an idea as to what was happening to Bella….what had happened to Bella….what those people had done to her. He had looked thought through everything thing he knew…he and his family had looked through every book he owned…no wait…..not every book.

The blonde doctor was in a frenzy for the next few minutes as he searched for the particular book…or rather journal, one which he hadn't opened in over one hundred years. It was funny that he….a vampire…..who had what seemed an endless amount of memory…could not remember where he had placed the journal. A small smile graced Carlisle's lips a moment later as one of his hands grasped the journal, that though was over two hundred years old was still in pristine condition like it had just been brought yesterday.

The blonde vampire settled himself into his desk chair and read the journal from cover to cover and the more he read the more astonished he became and by the time he had finished the last page, closed the journal and placed it on his desk in front of him, his usually calm face was set in a horrified expression.

His family needed to know this as soon as they came back from hunting but first he needed to make a phone call.

"A…..A…Alice….Ali…..I…..I can't…..I can't do this." Bella said as she broke away from the kiss and pushed her pixie off of her before turning on her side so she was facing away from Alice and tucking her knees into her chest as tears welled up in her eyes.

Alice starred at the bare back of her mate in silence for a moment as she processed the words Bella just said before sliding towards her brunette until there was only a hands distance between them.

Silenced echoed through the room as Alice slowly extended her arm and placed the palm of her hand against the middle of Bella's back and she didn't miss the way her brunette flinched under her touch but she didn't move away.

"Bella….sweetie…it's ok….' Alice started to say but Bella cut her off, "No Ali…it's not ok…..I…..I just can't!" The brunette said through her tears, choking on a sob after the last word left her lips. "We don't have to do anything you don't want to do…we don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with…we don't have to do anything until you're ready…..I know you've said you love me but I also know that doesn't automatically mean you trust me…and I know that we need trust to be together fully….I can wait until you're ready Bella,' Alice said as she sat up slightly, turned her love around and pulled her mate into her arms, 'I will wait until you're ready." The psychic said as she pressed a kiss to the top of Bella's head before she settled into her bed and held Bella close to her chest.

The brunette didn't say anything as she let the tears slowly slip down her face, she knew what Alice said was true….she felt comfortable enough to say those words again….she felt like she had been ready to say those words again….but she wasn't comfortable enough for this….she wasn't ready for what had just been about to take place….she didn't know when she would be ready.

But she knew that when she was, Alice would be there waiting.

Ahh….come on who thought they were going to get a good smut scene? Well I'm sorry to disappoint but you'll just have to wait for that, we have things to set into action.

So what do you think Carlisle has figured out? What was in the Journal? And who is he making a phone call too? Well you'll have to find that out in the next few chapters because as you can tell from the beginning of the chapter we have 72 hours which means to us three chapters…yep just three chapters until we come to the climax of the story…maybe…you never know I might have sudden inspiration to write another chapter before we come to the near ending of the story.

I am thinking of doing a squeal to this story but I would like to know who would be interested in it…who would read it? Just put a simple yes I would in a review to let me know and I'll get started on it, if not I might just write it for my own pleasure.

Anyway if you could be so gracious and leave me a review for this chapter I would really appreciate it : )

Until next time
