Rosalie was happy that she had the forethought to park her car a few streets down when she was awaken to the sound of the front door opening. She and Bella had come back to Bella's house and went straight to bed both worn out from hanging out with the wolves.
She quickly got up and hid in the closet as Charlie walked up the stairs and opened Bella's door to check on her. Rosalie smiled when he came in and pushed Bella's hair out of her sleeping face and fixed her blankets. He stood there for minute simply gazing at Bella before leaving and quietly shutting the door behind him.
Rosalie looked at the clock and seeing as it was 3am decided it would probably be a good idea to go home. Even though she could sleep she didn't really need that much of it to feel refreshed.
So sitting next to Bella on the bed she kissed her softly to wake her up. When those mismatched eyes fluttered open Rosalie spoke." Bella your father's home. I think he's probably going to check on you again so I'm going to head home. It'll give me a chance to talk to my family."
"That's probably a good idea. Even if I don't want to sleep without you." Bella told her.
"I know. I don't want to leave you either but I will be back in a few hours to pick you up."Rosalie promised with a kiss.
Bella hummed her agreement and Rosalie felt her eyes on her as she slipped out the window. Deciding to just leave her car were it was she quickly took off in a run towards her house.
"Look what the cat dragged in. What did Bella's father catch you in her bed and threatened you with a shot gun?" Emmett asked as Rosalie walked through the front door.
"No I decided to come home and talk to you guys about some new developments." Rosalie told him. The rest of the family settled into the living room looking at her expectantly.
"What new developments. How did the meeting with wolves go? You seem to be in one piece so I assume you didn't get in a fight."
Rosalie cut Carlisle off before he could ask anymore questions." The talk went well and as we were leaving I was granted an invitation to visit anytime I like."
"You can go on the reservation when ever you want? What happened? It had to be big" Alice exclaimed.
"After learning my mate is the defender of all supernatural beings and is foretold to save the entire shifter race as well as all other supernatural races I was giving certain liberties." Rosalie told them.
"Ok let's start at the beginning. What were you told and how does it pertain to Bella." Carlisle said.
"The tribe has been passing down the legend of the great white tiger since the 1600's. Apparently it is said that there will come a time when Bella will be needed to save the entire shifter race. From what we understood it seems like the fate of all supernatural beings rest on Bella's shoulders. The wolves weren't exactly sure how or what would happen but were confident Bella is going to a great defender for our races. They said that the shaman's visions have been interpreted many times times and the majority believe Bella will be involved in many different events that change the course of our history." Rosalie told them proudly.
"Poor Bella. All that responsibility." Esme said saddened by such a burden Bella was to carry on her shoulders.
"So Bella really is a shifter Messiah?" Emmett asked. "I was right."
"It seems Bella is destined for greatness. I feel honored she considers us a part of her family." Jasper added.
"Is there anyway we can help Bella? As Jasper said she is part of our family. We don't want her to have to go through this alone." Carlisle inquired.
"Actually there was something I wanted to ask you. It concerns Edward." Seeing Alice wince Rosalie continued. "We don't know exactly what he is planning but we feel confident that he is also learning of the great white tiger legends. Bella and I are concerned with leaving the five of you alone while Esme, myself and Bella go to Arizona. Bella has invited you all to come along with us to her estate."
Alice let loose a high pitched squeal causing everyone to cover their ears as she jump up and down clapping her hands.
"You will not have full run of the estate but Bella assures me that there is plenty of wildlife for us to hunt and we will have complete privacy from humans so we won't be stuck indoors the entire time. You need to be on your best behavior because I'm sure Bella is only letting you come along because she knows I would feel better having you with us." Rosalie warned them.
"We'll be good Mother." Emmett held his hands up as Rosalie glared at him. " I promise we will follow the rules. I don't want to screw up our chance of hanging out in Bella's bachelorette pad."
"Do you think she would show me some of her civil war artifacts? I'm sure she has some." Jasper asked.
"You can ask her. She has said a few times that she wanted to talk to you about it. I know she's really proud of her ancestors so it may be something she would be willing to do." Rosalie told him.
"What's the estate like? I read online that even the staff hasn't been in all the rooms and people get lost in it so often that they have intercoms on the wall to call for help." Alice asked excitedly.
"I don't know Bella doesn't really talk about it and I don't ask but as I said before Bella letting you come is because I want you to so refrain from snooping and I beg you please, please don't break anything. Actually no scratch that. Don't even touch anything. That's the safest way for you not to break anything. Just keep your hands in your pockets the entire time." Rosalie said.
"I'm sure we will be fine dear. Although they don't act like it Alice, Emmett and even Carlisle know how to behave when visiting someone's home." Esme reassured her giving Carlisle a look that stopped whatever defense he was going to present.
"I'm going to go see if I can sleep for a few hours. Can you guys take care of the plane tickets? Esme has our information already so make sure we are on the same fight." Rosalie walked to her bedroom after receiving nods of agreement.
When they heard the door click shut Alice spoke. "It's weird to hear her say she is going to sleep. Should we check on her or something. I've only ever been around Bella when she slept and that was for a few minutes. How do you take care of a sleeping person?"
"You don't actually do anything Alice. They simply sleep and wake up. It's better not to bother them. Although it would interesting to observe a vampire sleeping. I wonder if she breaths naturally during her slumber." Carlisle mused.
"You will not be watching our daughter sleep so get that thought out of your head Carlisle." Esme scolded.
"Yes, yes of course not." Carlisle agreed. He would ask Rosalie later if she would allow it.
"Can we get back to the fact that Bella is some kind of shifter Jesus?" Emmett asked. "Rosalie didn't really tell us much."
"I don't think she really knew much. I'm positive if there were more she would have told us as it would most likely be of help to Bella." Jasper told him.
"I agree. If there was any way that we could help Bella Rosalie would tell us. Alice are still having trouble with visions of Edward?" Carlisle asked Alice.
"I've seen him meeting with different nomads but as soon as he makes a decision regrading Bella the vision goes blank. It only confirms that he is going to be around Bella but in what capacity wether it be friend or foe I'm not sure." Alice told them frustrated with her inability to protect Bella.
"It's ok Alice. At least we know who he's meeting with. I'm thinking we should talk to the Denalis. Of course we should ask Bella and Rosalie first but it seems like Bella may need all the allies she can get." Carlisle said.
"I'm not sure how receptive Rosalie would be to having Volturi loyalist near Bella. We have yet to learn where the threats will come from. As it seems when it concerns Bella Alice's visions don't work we need to be more careful with those we surround ourselves with. Luckily it's seems the wolves are on her side." Jasper added.
"I agree. The fact that Rosalie has a standing invitation on the reservation is truly a testament of the high regard in which they hold Bella." Esme added.
"That's because Bella is their very own real life Jesus." Emmett said chuckling.
"Regardless of what she is she is still a part of this family and as family we will do anything to help and protect her. So I want everyone to be on their best behavior when we go to the estate. Myself included." Carlisle told them.
"I'm going to go wake Rosalie up to get ready for school. I'll meet you guys outside." Alice said spurring everyone into motion to start their day.
