Chapter 11 Kira POV

I walked into class not able to contain my smirk and took my seat. It wasn't long before my mood was dampened though, "Hey Kira, you look nice today."

"hey Andrew, thanks." I took out my stuff for class hoping he would get the hint. "I heard you and Derek broke up." I tensed "did you now?"

"yah, I mean you were too good for him anyways." He sent me a smirk. "ha thanks."

"yah of course you should be with someone else who treats you right. And you know I can."

"uhuh." I uttered knowing where this was going already "why don't you give me another chance babe? We can go to the movies this weekend, dinner. Or we can skip that and you can just come to my house, my parents are gone this weekend?" I rose a brow as he wiggled his, "excuse me?" He shrugged as if it was obvious, "I mean that's why you guys broke up right? I could do better babe don't worry, you know that." I blinked a couple times as he had never been so forward before, even when we dated. "I think I will pass, thanks." He shrugged but I saw the annoyance before it turned to arrogance "fine, why don't you hook me up with that blonde bombshell you have been hanging with then. Rosalie right?" I snorted "because I wouldn't want to put her through that." Thankfully the teacher started class before he could reply. He spent class trying to get my attention but I ignored him easily. When the bell rang I made sure my stuff was ready and bolted for the door, and ran right into Rosalie. Her arms wrapped around me to steady me but her eyes were black and focused behind me. She looked pissed, yet still incredibly gorgeous. She must have heard what he said about her. I was going to say something when the voice behind me spoke up "Ah Rosalie, did you know I was thinking about you?" She rose a brow unimpressed but he continued, "what do you say, me and you this weekend?"

"I say I'd rather do…well just about anything else." I pushed my hand against her stomach to get her moving, kind of surprised with how soft it felt considering she was a vampire. Jesus Kira stop feeling her up "Rosalie let's go or were both going to be late for classes." She sent another glare over my head but finally got to moving, she walked me to lass without a word, I'm not saying she should HAVE to get use to it, but I would think she would be used to it by now. "I'll see you in my moms class?" she nodded not looking me in the eyes, I turned and walked into class as she turned towards her own. My whole class I thought about Andrews face when he brought her up the glazed look in his eyes as he thought of god knows what about her. I clenched my hands when the annoyance hit me but shook it off.

Finally it was time for my moms class and as usual she was already seated next to her cousin when I walked in and Andrew was leaning against her desk rambling on. She looked murderous but never even glanced in his direction, her eyes going to me as I made my way to my seat. She still didn't meet my eyes though. I sent my mom a pleading look she thankfully caught, "Andrew would you be so kind as to take your seat and stop hassling Miss Denali." His face reddened but he did as he was told as the other students snickered. I leaned over as she started class "Are you ok Rosalie?"

"fine." She ground out. "really because-"

"I'm fine Kira." She basically snapped. I blinked a couple of times at the tone she hasn't used with me before leaning back into my seat. My mother caught it to and sent her a glare but she missed it as her eyes were closed. Halfway through class I heard her sigh before leaning towards me "I'm sorry Kira."

I didn't bother looking up from my paper, I'm not a fan of people taking their problems out on me, and as my parents said I shouldn't need to deal with it. "don't worry about it." she flinched at my bored tone but continued on "join me for lunch?"

"no thanks."

"…please Kira. I should not have taken my…frustrations with that boy out on you."

"But you did, I am not a punching bag Rosalie."

"I know" she growled before taking a deep breath "please have lunch with me?"

"…you will answer my questions." she held my eyes for a moment, "yes."

"fine." We sat through the last of class in silence before the bell rang and as Andrew strutted his way towards us with a cocky smirk she grabbed my hand and practically dragged me out the door to the cafeteria. We grabbed my food and sat at an empty table near the corner. She sat across from me just staring until I broke the silence "ok what the hell?" she rose a brow in question but I know she knew what I was referring to. "I get Andrew was bothering you, and annoying you, but was that really necessary?"

"you wished to stick around for his blatant flirting?" she asked as her eyes darkened. "No of course not, and you shouldn't have to deal with it, but aren't you kind of use to it? I mean look at you." I gestured, and her lips turned up for a moment before frowning, "what? I am not upset about he said to me."

"…then what?"

"did you really date him?" I snorted at the question, "I wouldn't exactly call it that." Her face showed confusion "what would you call it then?" I cleared my throat hoping it would just click in her head but it didn't, "we uh, he was, well. We hooked up more than dated." Her eyes were solid black before I finished my sentence and I could see her clenching her hands trying to gain control again. "Rosalie!" I hissed when I saw her eyes dart behind me, most likely to him. "you-" she shook her head not able to finish her sentence so I just shrugged. "why are you so upset?"

"he touched you." Was all she stated and now It was me confused, of course he touched me I did just tell her we hooked up. "I-excuse me." she walked out the door into the mist but not before I caught the smirk Edward sent her. Making a decision I sent my mom a quick text hoping she would understand and followed her outside to where she was leaning against her car with her head in her hands, "Rosalie" her head shot up, clearly she didn't hear me walk up which was concerning. Her eyes were still dark but they were lightening up and they were swirling with emotions. "Kira you should go back inside." She uttered. "Not until you tell me what's wrong." I crossed my arms. Her face turned pained before she answered "I am use to it. His words mean nothing to me. I don't care what people say to me or about me. I do care what they say about you." She shook her head in disgust "he just assumed you would have gone over to his place." I regarded her silently for a moment before "there was a time when I would have Rose" I whispered knowing she would hear. She nodded, "I know, and that makes this worse."

"I won't apologize for my past."

"I'm not asking you to Kira." I stepped up into her personal space "then what are you asking for Rose?" She took a deep breath before looking up into my eyes, determination filing hers. "A date, with you."

Tanya POV

I laid on the bed staring at the ceiling for lord knows how long. Everyone else of my family was at school, so here I was bored out of my mind. Thoughts of my mates plagued my mind, especially when Bella had said unborn child. I know Bella was at school teaching, but I had no idea what Valentina does other then it's in Port Angeles. Their son was on the reservation with the shifter Leah, which I only know because my sisters have been texting her since last night. With a groan I throw myself up off the bed and make jump out the window into the forest. I took down three deer before I caught the scent, Emmett. Pulling out my phone a sent a group text to my family, thankfully the scent wasn't to close to our new house. I took off towards Bella's house hoping Valentina might be there, not that I was sure what to do after that. When I got there the house was quiet but a car sat near the garage, so I knocked on the door. Eventually I head movement followed by a crash and some cursing before the door swung open. Valentina stood there with her hair a mass of messy curls around her face in sweat pants and a tank top. Her eyes were slightly duller and her lips were pulled into a frown. "Miss Denali, what can I do for you?" she asked her voice slightly scratchy. I flinched "Tanya is fine, are you ok?"

"I am fine thank you." She lied, I nodded but I could tell she knew I didn't buy it. "I was hoping someone was here. I have already texted my family but I thought I would warn you that Emmett is back."

"Emmett?"

"Yes, he was Rosalie's ex husband. He cheated on her."

"ah yes and the…others kept it from her." I nodded. She tilted my head "he is just as flammable as the rest of you though. But I appreciate the heads up."

"of course I-" I stopped mid-sentence when her eyes widened and she disappeared, literally disappeared. I looked around for a second before I heard it, flashing towards the sound I see her hunched over a toilet heaving. I'm aware my eyes widened, I approached her slowly and pulled her hair back from her face. I simply held it out of the way until she quieted with her head hanging there. "Thank you." She whispered before pushing herself up, "of course." She made her way to the sink and washed out her mouth. "Morning sickness?" she nodded. "do you, do you need anything?" she turned to look at me as she leaned against the sink, "your hiding something." She stated and smirked when my eyes widened. "what do you mean."

"I mean you, are hiding something." I was going to deny it but I couldn't bring myself to look her in the eye and lie. So I changed the subject to her amusement. "what did Bella mean when she said she killed vampires, and watched their souls?"

"I should answer that why?" I looked down hoping for a reason to come to me, but there was none. Why should she answer anything? Why should she trust us, me. I looked up at her sigh, she gestured for me to follow her as she fell into the couch and threw a blanket over her legs, she nodded towards the chair. "you don't know what we are?" I shook my head. "you haven't pestered us about what we are, why?" shrugging "if you wanted us to know you would tell us." she stared at me for a moment, "you are different Tanya." I smiled "how so?"

"I don't want to kill you." …ok it's a start. "I'll take it."

"Bella said we had taken the lives of many vampires because we have."

"how, why?"

"Because it is our job. I meant what I said when I said the Cullen's killed her. She was dead, but as you can see she isn't anymore. A price for that has to be paid."

"…and that price is killing vampires?"

"yes. And no." I frowned "I don't get it."

"have you heard of death? Not the action, the person." Ok I smirked at that "you mean like on TV, the whole skeleton guy in a cloak with the scythe?" she chuckled lightly, "ok bad example. But my point stands. The vampires in Seattle shouldn't be, so we are sent to, deal with them."

"…and who decides that they shouldn't be?" I asked, was she seriously just going around killing vampires. She shrugged "the higher ups, that's all I can say about that right now."

"you haven't told me what you were."

"…fallen." She murmured looking me in the eyes. "I don't know what that means."

"I'm not surprised. Your…family seem a bit sheltered." I sent her a mock glare to which she actually smiled at. "I am an Angel who can no longer claim that title." My eyes widened dramatically, there was no way, I mean she defiantly looked like an Angel but to actually…no no way. "your joking." Her brow rose, a look in her eyes that said she was definitely not joking. "I-I don't get it."

"what part?"

"All of it!" I took a breath and lowered my voice, "so you're an Angel."

"yes, and no. as I said, I can no longer claim that title."

"why?" she looked away staring off into space, staring off into her past "because I am Fallen."

"what does that mean." The smile she turned to me was sad and broken "it means I was an Angel who was anything but Angelic. One who was swayed by the-dark if you will."

"a fallen angel?"

"aye, but we are just called the Fallen."

"Bella?" she shook her head, "Bella is an Angel who owes a life debt, well we owe it, I made the decision."

"and when that debt is paid?..."

"…then she is given a choice. But back to the point, it isn't just vampires. We are meant to guide souls where they are meant to be. An unwilling vampires soul is stuck. But it could be anything, anyone."

"so…my soul is stuck?" she looked at me, like really looked at me and I saw her shift before mine, "you have accepted what you are. Your soul is where it is meant to be." her voice had gotten quieter as her sentence went on. "…wow. You can tell that just by looking at me?"

"aye."

"that night outside the Cullen's? You weren't hovering?"

"you did not see my wings."

"you have fucking wings." I leaned back into the couch as she stared at me. "how did you meet Bella?" Her face darkened full of rage "I worked at the…hospital. I still do, but she was a patient."

"when was that?"

"hmm around 50 or 60 years ago."

"how do you still work there then? Haven't people noticed."

"I am Fallen. Besides the Higher ups have their foot there." I nodded though I was still confused. "how long have you and Bella been married?"

"almost 46 years."

"wow." I wanted to ask if that meant they were mates, but I couldn't find the nerve. "would you really kill Edward?" I asked instead. "yes. I would kill any and all of you if you threatened my family." I nodded in understanding, it wasn't exactly the same but I would kill for my sisters to. And definitely for my new mates and their kids. I was thinking of something to say when I heard the car pull up. We both looked to the door as Bella walked in and stopped, her eyes shooting between us. "is everything ok?"

"of course dear. Tanya just stopped by to tell me she had caught the scent of one Emmett Cullen." Her eyes widened "Did you tell Rosalie?"

"yes I sent a group chat but she hasn't responded."

"she was with Kira I will text her." her fingers flew over the screen and then she began to put her stuff away, my heart ached when she leaned over and placed a kiss to Valentina's lips. She turned to me "thanks for the warning. Kira says Rosalie got the message and is fine right now." Some tension left me at that, I was worried how she was going to take the news, even though she had her little mate. "good, thank you." She nodded before turning back to her wife, "Leah will bring Aidan in a little bit."

"good, you can make dinner."

"yes maam. How was your day are you feeling ok?"

"fine." I couldn't stop the snort that left me, she sent me a glare but there was no real fire behind it. "Tanya?" Bella asked. I licked my lips as the glare intensified, "she uh, she was getting a little sick earlier." Her eyes shot to her wife who rolled her eyes "I am fine Bella. It was just a bit morning sickness. It happens."

"it didn't happen this early or this bad with Aidan."

"every pregnancy is different. Tell her Tanya." My eyes widened as they both turned to me, Valentina was daring me to say the wrong thing, Bella rose a brow waiting for me to say the wrong thing. "well, I mean, I don't know much cause you know, vampire and all. But uh, I have heard that yes, every pregnancy is different." Her next words cut off as another car pulled up, it was only a few seconds before Kira walked in followed by Rosalie. "what happened?" Kira asked. "Emmett." She turned to Rosalie "your ex?" She nodded, her eyes guarded but pained when she looked at Kira. Kira hummed "why is he here?" I shrugged "Alice said she heard Carlisle invite him and his…new mate to visit."

She turned to me "Vampires only have one mate though don't they." Well shit, "...for the most part."

"…what do you mean?" I shifted "well I mean, there is that one person who is meant for us, our mate. Sometimes though it's rare, there's two. Like my sisters and your friend Leah."

"I see." She murmured lost in thought. Her parents shared a look before Bella turned to me "was it close to your property? And was there more than one scent?" I shook my head "if there was another scent it was over powered by his. And it was closer to the Cullen's then our house."

"That's good at least. Has he tried to contact you at all Rosalie?" she turned at Bella's question but her voice held nothing "I don't know, I got a new number." Val shook her head but didn't say anything, probably remembering how much easier their life was before we moved here. I took in Rosalie and her dark eyes and how she wouldn't even look at Kira before speaking up "I think we have taken up enough of your time. We will let you get to your dinner, me and Rose need to hunt anyways." I practically dragged an unresponsive Rosalie out the door with me and into the forest to figure out what was wrong.

Bella POV

I watched as Tanya dragged Rosalie out the door before turning to my daughter. "ok, what happened besides the Emmett thing?" her face reddened and she looked down before heading for the kitchen "is dinner done?"

"nope, not even started. Kira." She stopped with a sigh at the tone of my voice, she slowly spun around to face us. "yes mother?" she said sweetly and I had to ignore my wife's snicker. "what happened?"

"what do you mean?"

"I mean between you and Rosalie. And you know that." She pursed her lips, "she asked me out." she rushed out the words. I didn't bother acting surprised "ok, and?"

"and I said no."
