The Cullen Clan Returns

Featuring Charlie PoV, Bella PoV, Jacob PoV, Edward PoV, Billy PoV, Sam PoV

A/N: To answer some of the questions I have received about the pack mind. I as the story shaper took a small artistic liberty by expanding the use of it to the Protectors Human form. This has happened in previous chapters before the imprint. Those cases where it was used was much more subtle then the blatant use of it in the last chapter. So here comes a relatively long chapter and as always, Enjoy!

I just had got off of work and started to make my way down to the Rez to pick Bella up from her summer stay. Once there I was offered to stay and join in the pack festivities of a bonfire and feast that was already prepared. The night was filled with fun and laughter. I remember sitting there looking at Jake and Bella.

I never in my life thought she was going to recover from that looming darkness that once held her. I owe you huge Jake for bring Bella back to life. I thought aimlessly.

The nightly festivities started to draw to a close early due to school starting back up tomorrow. I saw Bella and Jake finish packing up the truck and saying goodbye to everyone she hung out with on the Rez.

"Promise me you will come and visit?" Jake muttered to Bella. I was on the other side of the truck eavesdropping, like the classic father I am.

"Jake you know I will. But I can't leave Charlie to fend for himself that wouldn't be fair to him." She giggled lightly.

Jake must have made a face which warranted Bella's next response.

"Look, I come to the Rez sometimes, you come Forks sometimes… Deal?" she bargained.

"Deal" I heard him say happily and apparently wrapping my daughter into a bear tight hug.

"Jake… Air!" she gasped. I heard her feet hit the ground and chuckling ensued. I stepped around the truck and murmured.

"Alright you two love birds, there is a thing called school tomorrow and Bella you need your Beauty sleep or you are going to be grouchy." I joked mildly.

She stuck her tongue out at me and wrapped Jake in a hug.

"Night Jake." She called out as she got into the truck.

He simply waved us off as we made the journey back to the house in Forks. Bella and I got everything unpacked and slowly started to unwind.

Bells came down stairs to get a glass of water. She silently drank and I watched her.

"You ready for tomorrow kiddo?" I asked to fill the silence.

"I am nervous to see everyone again. After seeing me the way I was towards the end of last year…" She trailed off silently.

"It should be fine" I commented knowing it might be a little rough.

"You are right, just got to take it one day at a time." She commented finishing her water and placing it in the sink.

"Well I am going to hit the hay:" I commented.

"Same her Dad. Night" she said wrapping him up in a hug.

"Night Bells" I whispered as we headed up the stairs into our perspective rooms.

Sleep came to relatively quick and it was peaceful for the first time in a long time till I got a call at 5:30 that morning.

(BSPoV)

I retreated to my room and once I heard Charlie close his door I went to my window and opened it. No sooner than a minute later a light thump came from the direction of my window.

"Hey Jake" I whispered silently.

"Hey Bells" He whispered in my ear which made me shiver. His arms entangled my body into a hug that lasted for what seemed like forever. I yawned gently and he moved us over to my bed. My body cuddled closer to Jake's warm body and sleep rushed over me like a tidal wave.

The next sound I remember hearing was my alarm going off at 6:15 in the morning. I groaned with Jake in unison as the alarm signaled the end of the night and the first day that we both would be separated since the start of summer.

"Thank you for coming Jake" I whispered as I came back from the shower dressed in a khaki sweater and jeans.

"No problem Bells" he murmured as he rubbed his eyes.

"So Charlie got called in so you can leave through the back if you want to Jake" I commented as I pulled my hair back into a ponytail.

"Text me if there are any issues." He said kissing my exposed neck gently.

"I promise Jake" I said wrapping my arms around him, "I am going to miss you" I finished quietly

"I will see you around" He smiled gently as he left Bella to gather her bag and get to Forks High School earlier than all the other students. I looked around the parking lot and saw all the rest of the cars and no shiny damn Volvo. This had caused me to breathe a little bit easier. I walked into building taking a deep breath as I was greeted by Angela Weber.

"Hey Bella" She smiled tentatively.

"Hey Angela!" I said exuberantly happy.

"I see you have been doing better since the Cullen Clan up and disappeared." She commented making small chat. I knew she wanted to know if I kept up with them. She knew how bad I was broken and seeing me like this might actually surprise her.

"Well, I have not heard from them since they left. I am finally mended enough to enjoy life again. I spent the summer down in La Push and I kind of have a new boyfriend." I murmur quietly.

"Really Bella!" Angela smiled happy for the fact I was not in the same state I was in this past winter and spring.

"I am so happy for you" she smiled. We walked together till we had to part ways from each other for our separate first hour. I walked into U.S. History as the bell for students to be tardy rang. I made my way to my seat and noticed I had Jessica and Mike Newton in this class. We whispered amongst ourselves till the bell rang and I proceed on to my second hour which I got share with Angela. But when I sat next to her she seemed like she was sweating bullets.

"Angela… What is wrong?" I whispered quietly as the teacher review the required reading material that I had already read.

"N-n-nothing Bella" she said lying clearly.

"Angela… please do not hide things from me." I begged silently.

"I have heard rumor that the Cullen Clan has come back to Forks" she whispered quietly.

I felt my blood in my veins run ice cold as a chasm beneath the very ground I sat on was opening up.

Why did they come back! He said they would stay gone till I died! What the FUCK EDWARD CULLEN! I screamed inwardly towards myself. The shock I had endured soon turned into the fiery fuel to add to my rage, my hatred, my anger.

I raised my hand and asked to use the restroom. There I tried taking calming breaths to sooth myself. I had never felt this much anger in all my life. I immediately pull out my phone and text Jacob.

B- Did anyone find Cullen stench on the Rez?

I sat there still trying to calm down the pool of rage. I started thinking of Jacob which had caused the red haze to retreat slightly. I then felt my phone buzz, the reply that confirmed everything.

J- How did you know Bella?

I responded with a short but to the point message.

B- Angela told me that there was a rumor that they were coming back…

The more I texted Jacob the calmer I got. I kept doing so till the rage was quenched and I had returned to a semi-normal state. I got another text from Jacob before I left the bathroom.

J- What do you want to do Bella?

I replied once more to his message.

B- Bring Embry and Quil; they can drive my truck to the Rez after school. I am going back to class I will text you with any updates.

I felt it buzz one more time before I reentered second hour and waited for the bell to release the students from class. The rest of her classes' drug on for what seemed like an eternity. Lunch hour came to the Forks High School as I entered in I got a Ham and Cheese sandwich with a bottle of water. I was back to my normal table eating lunch when Jessica started up.

"Edward is starting at you again Bella" she said giggling.

"I honestly do not care what the hell he is doing" I replied kind of harshly.

"I know you guys broke up and everything but you do not have to hate on him so badly." Jessica retorted.

I felt my rage that I had calmed only a few hours earlier rise to the surface as my eyes met hers.

"If you want him so bad, have at him. I do not want him, I do want to date him, and I hate him" I seethed. I got up and walked away, as my eyes scanned my surroundings I noticed Edward was doing the same.

My rage stirred against my steel resolve of not losing myself and going off. I rush out with him on my heels. I turn to the restroom and tried again to calm this anger that kept rushing in like the waves of an ocean. My thoughts went back to Jacob which caused it to calm down. After being in the restroom for all of ten minutes the rage again subsided and I walked out. I found Edward was waiting for me.

"Bella, we need to talk" He whispered gently. I shook my head as the bell releasing us from lunch had just rang and I went on to my next class; Biology with Edward as a lab partner. I grumbled silently as I strained to pay attention to Mr. Banner.

"Bella, Love we need to talk" He tried again. I shook my head furiously and the anger that I had caged rattled against the cell I kept it in.

This anger is just down right abnormal I never have been this angry before. What the hell is going on with me? I thought shaking my head. The end of class was a blessing from someone above as I rushed to leave Edward behind.

"Bella!" Edward called out. I then notice Jasper and Alice blocking my two other routes of escaping till I notice Mike.

"Hey Mike do you have Gym for the last hour!" I called hoping for once in my life he had said yes. Another blessing came as I walked away from the three Cullen children that bore there gold eyes into my back. First day of Gym for me was always the easiest and waited till the bell rang again releasing us to go home. I found Edward outside waiting for me as if it was last year when I meant him.

"Bella come on, let me explain!" he grumbled following me to my truck.

"Not in a million years you leech!" I spat as I opened my truck cab door and closed the door quickly. I snapped the locks shut and waited.

"Come on Bella be reasonable!" Edward growled growing impatient with this new attitude of mine.

"If you don't come out in five minutes I will open this door and I will force you out of this truck Isabella!" He threatened. I did not flinch but only waited and hoped that Jacob would get here in time.

Hurry Jake! I cried out.

(JPoV)

Hurry Jake! I heard call out to me. With that I gave a look to Quil who pressed the pedal a little more and had them in the Forks High School parking lot in three minutes. We pulled up behind Bella's truck and notice the three leeches surrounding it. I hopped out of the truck and wait for Quil and Embry to follow suit. Once they were on my sides I let my anger seep into my voice.

"What in the hell do you think you guys are doing?" I growled with no neutrality in my tone.

All three of their heads slowly turned to me and shock spread across Edward Cullen's face.

"I used to be able to hear their thoughts Alice; I did not hear them approach." Edward commented slowly.

"What are you mutts doing here?" Alice asked turning her head toward Bella.

"I am here because my girlfriend asked me to come get her and take her to the Rez" I retorted with malice.

Edwards face look crestfallen when those words came out of my mouth. I started walking towards the car and Edward moved out of the way. I knocked on the window and Bella had a relieved look on her face as she opened the door and wrapped her arms around me.

"I got you Bella, I made a promise" I muttered as I pulled her out of the leeches territory and planted her next to Quil and Embry.

"Bella" Edward strongly.

I felt a small prick of anger come from Bella as she responded.

"You want to talk that badly?" she asked anger slowly seeping into her tone.

"Yes" he responded strongly

"Then meet us at the treaty line. There you will say our piece and I will say mine" she said walking back towards the Rabbit and she climbed in. I followed suit after Quil and Embry got into Bella's truck and followed us. Once we got passed to treaty line we turned the vehicles around again and got out.

She walked forward and stood with in talking distance with me and the guys not too far behind her.

She stood there stronger then I have ever seen her before. Willing to face her past no matter how much it might hurt.

"You wanted to talk Edward. So let us talk" She growled at him.

"Isabella I have done nothing to warrant this behavior and hostility" He growled and looked at her.

Her only reply was the icy stare that she returned to him.

"Bella, I am sorry for leaving you. I am sorry that I crushed your heart. I am sorry to the ends of the earth and I want to make it up to you. Please come back to me Bella, I promise to do the best I can." Edward pleaded with his golden eyes pleading to her.

Yea keep begging you leech! I growled internally.

I then felt an undying rage, blinding hatred, and seething anger radiate from Bella. I gulped silently not knowing what would come next.

"Edward Cullen, you left me in a forest alone! You took the heart that I gave to you and crushed it into a million little pieces. Not to mention you told me your whole family hated me!" She roared.

I notice Pixie and the other leech look at each other with a risen eyebrow.

"Bella-" He tried to pause the conversation.

"No Edward, shut your mouth and let me finish" She growled.

"You broke me, you destroyed me, and now that you have come back, you think you have a right to ask me to come back with you? Are you out of your fucking mind! You left me a fucking mess and the ones standing behind me put me back together!" she yelled ferociously.

"Bella those mongrels are not safe" He countered with his own anger.

"Edward Fucking Cullen, you are a filthy hypocrite! Do you remember what question you asked me pertaining to a Leech's dietary needs?" She spat at him, "You guys are not anywhere near as safe as the Quileute tribe!" She finished and it seemed to slap Edward right in the face. The pain that flash across his face was a sweet victory in my book.

"He is right Bella" Pixie murmured.

"Shut it Alice" she retorted.

"So if you want to make it up to me Edward, then start by leaving me the hell alone!" she finished triumphantly and walked back towards us. We got into the Rabbit and they got Bella's truck and we headed down to my house in La Push.

On the way there I felt her anger subside drastically and saw small tears rolling down her face.

"You were brave up there honey" I commented as I took hold of her hand.

(EPoV)

I stood there and watch the one person whom I would want to spend an eternity with walk away from me with a hatred for me. My cold and non-beating heart ached as it felt the human emotion of rejection.

"She has changed so much." Alice muttered "I have never seen her harbor such anger."

"I can't believe how Red her emotions were" Jasper concurred.

"Will you to shut the hell up!" I growled facing them.

"When were you planning on tell us that we were not supposed to love her" Alice replied coldly.

"It was none of your damn business" I roared.

"Bullshit Edward!" She retorted as she got into the car

Jasper followed silently and waited for Edward.

"I swear Bella; I will win your heart back!" I vowed silently before going home.

(BBPoV)

I watched my son enter with a sad looking Bella. I eyed him to let him know I wanted to talk with him. He gave a slight nod and put Bella on the couch.

"I am going to chat with my dad ok?" He murmured.

She nodded and hugged him before we met on the front porch.

"What happened my son?" I prodded almost immediately after he closed the door.

"She faced them. She faced the Cullens, her insecurities, and her fear. She is doing okay it just took a lot out of her." He muttered.

"Damn it, we just can't catch a break from them can we" I said slamming my fist down on the porch.

"No but there has been an interesting development." My son murmured.

"What do you mean?" Sam asked as he came walking up.

"The mind reading leech can't get into our heads anymore." He smirked.

Sam smirked some and then scratched his head.

"How is Bella holding up?" He asked

"She is doing okay, just trying to recover." Jake murmured.

"Can you call the pack?" Sam asked my son.

"Sure, sure" he muttered stripping down and shifting to his wolf. From my sons lungs a howl pierced the air and called the pack.

(SPoV)

Jacob started running though the events that happened at the treaty line with the Cullen Clan. Everyone that could see or feel it gasped at Bella's rage.

"Damn Bella!" Paul muttered in pure shock.

"It was not that impressive" Bella said playing it off.

"Bella, what do you want to about this" I asked gently.

"I honestly do not know" she whined "I still have two years with that lifeless leech."

"Since when did you start using the word leech?" Billy pipped up from the Kitchen.

"I kind of just picked it up from them using the word so much" she responded by swishing her hand around the room.

"Well I guess the one good thing is that our minds are now protected." I stated.

Everyone but Jake, Quil, Embry, and myself had jaws drop in surprise.

"What do you mean?" Paul pipped up.

"Billy?" I gestured forward to take the spotlight.

"Old Quil and I have talked about it before when we found out Bella could hear pack mind conversations and use it. That there might be a trade involved. Jake could imprint on Bella and the shield protect the mind of the pack." Billy explained with a small smile.

"Interesting" Bella sighed.

"So how are we going to protect Bella from the leeches" Quil asked raising his voice high amongst the chatter.

"She could come to the Rez School" Embry offered as a solution

"Or a few of us could go to her school" Jacob countered.

I sat there and started mimicking Bella would had one had stoking her chin.

"Bella this up to you. I am putting the ball in your Court" I declared.

A/N: Now the Cullen Clan has returned and has made Bella seem like she is flying off her rocker… I will start apologizing now because the updates are not going to be as frequent seeing as I am writing them on paper and editing when I type. I promise to get you the next chapter in the this series as soon as I can. Till then Follow, Favorite, and leave a Review if you have time!
