Bella, The Vanderbilt Vampire:


Recap: Bella's POV: "I was too, but now it's over." He paused, then continued, "I love you."

"I love you too," I said.


Chapter 11: A Cause For Celebration!


Bella's POV:

After we made sure that the bodies were completely burnt we headed back home to celebrate and the Denali's left for Alaska. I am so happy that James won't ever be a problem again.

"What's going on in that big head of yours?" Edward asked me.

"My head isn't big," I said and stuck my tongue out at him. "And for your information I was simply thinking about how happy I am. I love you."

"Aw, I knew I had an effect on people Bellsy. I love you too cougar!" Emmett said and crushed me to him. I started laughing at him.

"Cougar Emmett, really?" I asked him.

"Of course. Cougars are older women who prey on the younger men. In case you were thinking that I had called you the animal." He told me.

"What's wrong with you!" I exclaimed and tucked my head into Edward's chest completely embarrassed. I heard him laugh heartily for a few seconds. I lifted my head to glare at him as Rose smacked the back of his head.

"Rosie! What was that for?" He whined.

"For embarrassing Bella," She said.

"Rosie," he started whining again.

"Emmett, do you want some cheese with that whine? Swiss? American?" I mocked him.

"Shut up grandma!" He said and glared. I stuck my tongue out at him. He stuck his out at me too. I laughed again and set my head down against Edward's shoulder.

"So anyway. How should we celebrate this amazing victory? I was thinking we could go shopping!" Alice said clapping her hands and bouncing on Jasper's lap. I groaned at the idea of shopping. I felt Edward chuckling beside me.

"Are you laughing at me Edward?" I asked.

"Never," he said sarcastically. I punched his shoulder, got off the love seat, and went to sit by Esme and Carlisle on the couch. "Hey get back here!" He ordered me.

"Nope," I said smiling and everyone laughed. I watched Edward get up and walk towards me slowly.

"I don't want to have to do this Bella. So come back to the love seat with me." He said smirking. My mind was going a million miles a minute trying to think of what he would do to me. My eyes widened when I remembered that this was his tactic. I got up slowly as well. I started towards the love seat but then dashed out the back door.

"You'll never get me Mason!" I yelled as I ran.

"Oh, yes I will Swan! I always do." He yelled back, giving chase. He sounds close. I turned to look back and didn't see anything. So, I faced forward again and ran straight into a hard body. I looked up into Edward's eyes and tried to back away. However, he quickly wrapped his arms around me preventing me from going anywhere. "I told you." He gloated. "And now for your punishment," then he started the torture that is tickling. If I was human I wouldn't have been able to breathe.

"Stop it!" I managed through my laughter. He paused in his tickling.

"Tell me you love me, and then I will stop." He told me.

"I will always love you. You don't have to tickle that out of me." I told him honestly and then kissed him. What turned out as an innocent kiss soon turned into a heated make-out session. When we pulled apart, I asked him "what are we teenagers?"

"Technically, yes." He told me, grinning crookedly while doing so.

"Ha ha," I said. "I bet the others are wondering where we are by now." I said noticing that the sky had darkened considerably.

"Forget them," he told me and started kissing my again. He started at my collarbone and was slowly working his way up. My breath hitched at the emotions coursing through me. I shook my head out of the hazy mess Edward had put it in and stepped back from him.

"Even after all of these years Edward, you can still dazzle me."

"Thank you my dear. Now can I get back to ravishing you?" he asked cockily.

"Fine with me," I said sarcastically. "Let your brothers stumble across us." I told him and he started to growl.

"Point made." He said and we started back towards the house.

"It was quite a sharp point, wasn't it," I said smartly.

"Woman, what am I going to do with you?" He asked rhetorically.

"Anything you want," I said seductively. Then I took off laughing while leaving him shell shocked. I ran into the house and hid behind Emmett. Edward was only a couple of seconds behind me.

"That wasn't very nice Bella." He told me.

"What wasn't very nice?" Emmett asked.

"Well, if by reading his emotions, it seems as if Bella left our Eddie all hot and bothered." Jasper stated then he and Emmett started laughing. The girls giggled with their husbands and I smirked at Edward as he glared at me.

"Well, what's going on here?" Carlisle asked as he and Esme opened the front door.

"Our Bella here left poor Edward let's say frustrated." Alice told them.

"Okay then, so we have an announcement." Carlisle told us. "Let us move into the dining room for the big news." Hmm, I wonder what it is. We all went rather quickly into the chairs around the table. All of us very curious as to what it could be. Edward sat next to me, of course, and he grabbed my knee and whispered that we would finish what I started later.

"What kind of announcement?" Emmett asked.

"An important one Emmett, now shush and let the man continue." I scolded him.

"Yes, grandma." He muttered. I just gave Rose a look and she slapped the back of his head for me.

"Thanks Rose." I told her and she just waved me off and we turned our attention back to Carlisle.

"Well, as you all know we have been in Forks for a while now, with the exception of Bella. So we were thinking when the school year ends we move to Georgia." I am speechless. I shook my head and then blurred around the table and crashed into Carlisle, giving him the biggest hug. I haven't been back there since I died.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" I shouted at him.

"You're welcome dear." He told me while patting my back.

"I can't wait! I haven't been back there in a hundred years! I wonder how different the estate is? Maybe I can find out how my family fared after my death! I wonder what happened to the sweet stable boy-"

"Bella, honey, you're rambling." Edward told me chuckling.

"Oops," I said then noticed that I hadn't let go of Carlisle yet. I let go and quickly apologized, which caused everyone to laugh.

"It's quite alright." He told me, "nothing to apologize for."

"Is that all you had to tell us Carlisle?" Jasper asked.

"No. The other news is that we will be having some visitors soon."

"No Carlisle. I won't allow them near Bella." Edward exclaimed suddenly.

"Who?" I asked.

"The Quileute Wolf pack," Carlisle stated.

"Are they children of the moon or shifters?" I asked.

"Shifters," Carlisle said.

"You know of them?" Esme asked shocked.

"Yes, I was good friends with one when I was turned. Didn't I tell you?" I asked them.

"No granny. Looks like your losing your memory now. Not a good sign." Emmett teased.

"Oh shut up you big lug." I laughed. "So why are we meeting with this pack?"

"We have a treaty with them. We wouldn't want them to pick up your scent and have them think we broke the treaty."

"Do we have to?" Edward whined. I flicked his ear.

"Of course it is Edward. I don't want to fight another battle so close to the last one. And, what if someone gets hurt? Those wolves are fast." I reasoned.

"Fine," he pouted.

"Don't do that. It is very unbecoming as my late mother would say." I taunted.

"Since when did you listen to your mother?" He teased me back.

"When I didn't feel like being locked in my room all day." I told him laughing.

"If I do recall the only days you wouldn't feel like being locked up were the days my family and I came over to visit." He mocked.

"Shut up!" I told him. "So when are we going to see the shifters?" I asked Carlisle.

"Actually they should be arriving here any minute now," he said right as the stench of wet dog invaded my nose and a knock resounded at the door. "They're here." He said. "Everyone let's go outside and be civil towards our guests." He told us. I couldn't help smiling that we weren't letting them in the house. We had to be civil outside the house. I have one weird sense of humor. We all got up and followed Carlisle out and onto the porch and out into the yard where everyone wouldn't be crowded. "Welcome!" Carlisle told them.

"Why did you want to meet with us leech?" One of the large men asked gruffly. How dare he.

"He called the meeting because of me. I hope you can be more civil. I normally get along fine with your kind but I don't take kindly to rudeness. It is very ugly." I told the group coming to stand beside Edward and taking his hard for strength. I looked at their faces and they all looked rather shocked.

"It's her Sam! The one from the journals." One of the men exclaimed.

"What are you talking about?" Esme asked concerned.

"It's a very long story," said the only girl in the group

"Are you a shifter?" I asked her.

"Duh, we don't bring imprints to leech land." She said.

"Leah-" the man, that I assume is Sam, said giving her a warning look.

"What?" she spat at him.

"We will talk later," he said and she huffed in annoyance.

"Back to how you seem to know Bella," Edward said.

"Yes, so it all started a long time ago when she was human apparently." The one that had exclaimed earlier started the story.

"Before we begin, I do believe introductions are in order" I suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement even though I am the only one who doesn't know the wolves names. Well, except Emmett. If I know him like I think I do he probably thinks of them as wolf one, wolf two, wolf three, etc. I will have to ask Edward about that later.
