I just shrunk back in my seat trying to look anywhere but Jasper so I picked up my book and sat there reading until he settled down and apologised.
"Isabella I'm sorry I yelled and snarled at you but the Major and I are merging and he wants your complete attention and he doesn't take back chat very well. He can be a pain in the ass. He isn't use to humans being so close and not feeding off them or torturing them. I will try and come up with a signal that he could probably give to you so that you know the difference between the two of us. Just let me think of something that you would understand." Jasper apologised.
"Well what was the name of the Ballet studio where you killed that vampire?" Randall said.
"Yeah you could say Mimi's and no one would be the wiser as to what you were really saying unless they actually know us and the chances of that happening are about what one in a five chance that someone would really know what you were actually telling me." I said rambling in the end.
"Isabella how is that you always know to come up with these kinds of things?" Jasper said looking at me with pride in his eyes.
"I would have no idea. It's really only been happening since Victoria came near me that it's happened." I said.
"You might just be a sponge then. But you are only displaying certain powers at the moment. I want you to try thinking off an intense emotion and sending it to Randall." Jasper said looking over at me again.
I thought of the one thing that would cripple Randall and sent him the emotions that I was feeling when he got into the car.
"Holy shit what the fuck was that?" Randall said.
"That Randall was what Isabella was feeling earlier when she was screaming when you got in the car." Jasper said.
"That was the most intense pain that I have ever felt. That's almost the same feeling you get when you start burning changing into a vampire." Randall said rubbing his chest.
"That was only a little taste, try going through that for three and a half months. That's how long she lasted living like that. At least that's what I heard." Jasper said to Randall.
"I think I would have died if I ever felt that much pain for that long. Isabella it is an honour knowing you when you are still human but I can't wait to see what you get up to as a vampire." Randall said looking at me.
"Jasper are we ever going to see the family ever again?" I asked. Thinking about Emmett.
"Isabella if you want to see Emmett all you have to do is ask and I will get him to where we are going before we get there." Jasper said.
"Please I really want to see him and what Randall just said reminded me of him." I said in a small voice.
Jasper pulled his phone out and I saw that he was calling Emmett and I couldn't help but smile when I saw that.
"This is Emmett McCarty - Cullen speaking." Emmett said into the phone.
"Emmett, its Jasper." Jasper said.
"Jasper, bro, Alice is crazy with worry she can't see you and you and Bella have gone missing from her visions. We got a report that you got car jacked a couple of hours ago but nothing after that are you both alright?" Emmett said almost too fast for my ears.
"We are alright Emmett; Isabella is fine she is actually the one that suggested we call you to see if you want to come visit us where we are going." Jasper said looking at me. I still couldn't get how he stayed right in the middle of the lane while looking at me and driving at the same time.
"Hell yeah me and Rosie can't wait to get out of here its gone crazy since you guys disappeared from her visions. As soon as we got home she wondered where you were because she said that you guys were home. Then she told us all to hunt I was so thirsty that it took four bears to fill me." Emmett said talking a bit slower this time.
"I know you were thirsty Em that's one of the reasons that I took off with Isabella in the first place. Second it seems we share a person in common and you will never guess who it is." Jasper said.
"Peter." Emmett guessed.
"Nope but you are in right frame of mind there brother. Maria is however many times over Isabella's great Aunt." Jasper said into the phone.
"You have got to be pulling my leg." Emmett laughed out.
"Nope and I got threated with my balls if I tried to eat her and when Maria wants you to eat your balls you damn well better eat your balls because what she does to them isn't pretty." Jasper said looking straight ahead when he said that. I think I may have gulped at that stage.
"Isabella she won't hurt you she said so herself and if James and Edward were still alive you should know that they will have been tortured to the point where they would have been begging for death." Jasper said. "I don't know how many times I have stopped Alice almost getting herself killed because of something she did to anger Maria.
She couldn't even bit me because when she would go to bit me she would get sucked into a very painful vision that she would come out of and check herself over to make sure that she was alright.
Once she came out of a vision and she hid in a closet after she yelled for me to check to make sure that Maria wasn't around any corners even if she was nowhere near us at the time.
I asked her about that one time and she said Maria found out what she was doing to me and that she would never do wrong by me again. Not long after that we divorced.
Now that I think about it Maria saved me from a lot of stuff."
"Yeah Jasper you got away with a hell of a lot of things." Emmett chimed in.
"I sure did Em, I sure did. But when you meet Maria you will know why that is." Jasper said with a small smile on his face.
"What do you mean I meet Maria?" Emmett said.
"You don't want to meet my Aunty Maria do you?" I pretended to be sad. "Do you know that my Aunt Maria hurts anyone that hurts me? She'll come after you when she hears that you don't want me anymore."
"Bella I will see you in a few hours and then we will go see Maria together how about that." Emmett said trying to make me feel better.
"I can't see her while I'm still human Em. I'm going to have a nice long chat via video tonight so I hope you are there before that happens because if you're not it won't be very nice for you." I said.
"Don't worry little sister I'll be there." Emmett said.
"Jasper the number you called from can I get a hold of you on it?" Emmett asked Jasper.
"Yeah bro just type in the code if you can remember it." Jasper sighed.
"I'll call and let you know what's going on. Talk later Bells." Emmett said hanging up the phone.
I went back to reading my book after Emmett got off the phone. Almost three hours later Jasper said that I should get some sleep for the night so I went to sleep.
What felt like minutes later Jasper was waking me up saying that we were home for the time being and that a few surprises had made themselves at home in my new house.
Emmett, Rosalie, Peter and Charlotte were all waiting outside the house as I got out of the car.
"Nice look for you Major. Let's just hope that everything goes according to plan. Video stuff is set for half an hour so that we can get Bella here settled then she can talk to Maria." Peter said to Jasper. He then turned to me and said, "Bella it is an honour to have you here. Once we get you all settled then you can talk to your Aunt and do whatever you want to do."
"Thank you Peter for everything that you are doing." I told him giving him a hug.
"Anyone who has Maria for an aunt gets treated like royalty around here so you don't have to do anything that you don't want to do." Charlotte said coming over to give me a hug as well.
"But what if I really want to do something? Can I do it because we really don't want my aunt to know that I'm lazy?" I said.
"No we can't have that, so we can all let you do something for yourself, so that we don't get the wrath of Maria put onto us." Peter said.
"Bella I'm really sorry about what happened back in Forks I just hope that we can get to know one another now that we don't have the annoying two with us." Rosalie said. "Oh and call me Rose from now on."
"Thank you Rose." I said as I gave her a hug.
"Emmy don't I get a hug?" I said as I started to pout.
"Bella no pouting it's not fair to the rest of us." Emmett said as he gave me a bear hug that I could at least breathe out of.
"Come on let's get inside get you feed then you can see Maria." Peter said leading me up to the house.
When everybody got inside I noticed that it had everything that I would ever want. I was like a kid in a candy shop. I didn't know what I wanted to do first.
"Isabella go up to your room and have a quick shower and then when you get back down here you can eat." Jasper said as he pointed up stairs.
"Sir yes sir." I saluted him.
"Isabella do you remember what happened last time you mouth got smart?" Jasper said.
"Eek." I squeaked out. I ran up the stairs thankfully I didn't trip up them.
I noticed that I wasn't as clumsy as I was making out but in Forks. They must have been making me clumsy so that I would always lean on Edward when I was in trouble with my balance.
I really started to think about everything that had gone on in my life and I wondered just what I would have done if it wasn't for them destroying my life the way they did. I really can't fault Jasper because he didn't know that James was going to try and kill me.
Come to think about it anything that I said that I didn't really like I ended up liking the next day because of them. I'm going to have to overhaul myself and figure out what I want to do with my life. I wonder how long they are going to keep me human. Will I get to do whatever I really liked to do or are they going to be like them and not let anything happen to me?
No don't start questioning them because if you do then they won't let you do whatever you want. I'll just go with whatever feels right.
I wonder what they are going to do now that they all have to look after me. They won't abandon you ever again because of who your aunt is. But what if she's just saying that so that she can have you for yourself? I have got to get out of here. But with Jasper being able to hear what I send him who knows what he's heard from me since I came up those stairs.
"Isabella you will get out of that shower now and get dressed and come down and apologise to everyone here for thinking that they will leave you and then you will tell Maria what you thought about her and we'll see what she has to say to you." Jasper's voice shouted in my head.
Sighing to myself I got out of the shower, got dressed but didn't feel like moving after that because I knew that I was going to get in trouble.
"Isabella don't you want to go to Mimi's later?" Jasper's voice said right next my ear.
Oh shit I'm in trouble Major trouble.
"Get your ass down those stairs in the next five minutes and you won't find yourself in any trouble at all." The Major said in my ear.
I got off the bed as soon as the words were out of his mouth and down stairs faster than I thought possible. Everyone was just lounging around so I sat on the couch near Emmett because I thought at least he would protect me from the Major.
"Nothing or no one will protect you from me Isabella." His voice sounded like it was caressing me from the inside out.
"Not fair Major I wanted to get her down here." Emmett said pouting.
"Emmett I think that you might want to hear what Isabella was thinking about while she was in her shower just then and see if you still want to stay here." The Major said while looking at me. I let out a whimper when he said that Emmett might leave me.
"Bella I'm not going anywhere okay your stuck with me for the rest of your lives." Emmett said while hugging me to his side.
"Isabella you have something you want to say to each of us?" The Major said.
I stood up in front of everyone and saw that Peter had set the computer down and a woman was looking back at me.
"Isabella, Maria, Maria, Isabella." Peter said.
I waved at her so that she would at least get a nice thought of me before I said the things that I really didn't want anyone to know.
"Hello everybody, I'm standing here before each and every one of you because I have to apologise because I thought some really horrid things about each and every one of you.
Emmett - I thought that you might get bored of me and leave me here.
Rosalie- I thought the same of you, but that was to be expected from previous thinking of you.
Randall - I thought that you might get bored of me once you see how boring I really am
Peter - I really would like to say that I had thought that you might eat me and I really don't trust you
Charlotte - I thought the same about you as well
Maria – I thought that you were only playing everyone so that you could have me all to yourself
Jasper – I'm not going to apologise out loud because we both know how regretful I am towards everyone including yourself.
I'm really sorry about everything else I thought about each and every one of you. Jasper said that Alice and Edward have been controlling me since I was born so it might a while before I can trust every single one of you just know that I really want each and every one of you in my life and whatever may come we will be prepared for together as a family." I said just standing looking everywhere else but anyone in the room or the computer.
"Isabella you will not get in trouble any more than I would for thinking something like that. You just go with whatever you feel is correct enough for you and we'll take it from there." Peter said as he came and squatted down in front of me.
"Don't you worry about Jasper or the Major hearing every little thing that goes in your head because you will be able to hear him shortly and there is some embarrassing stuff that you will be able to use on him in the future." Peter added.
"Peter can you turn me to Jasper please." Maria said. "Don't worry my dear niece you aren't in trouble with me."
Maria went off at Jasper at vampire speed because every single male in the room squirmed in their spot when she was talking.
"Bella I will talk to you another time because if I was to talk to you know I might have to come hurt the Major and none of us want that do we?" Maria said.
"That's fine Maria hopefully we can get him under control by the time we see you." I said looking anywhere but Jasper but I could feel his eyes on me.
"Isabella you are in trouble when everyone else is out." Jasper's voice said to me again.
Maria said her goodbyes to everyone and said that she would talk to us the next day.
"Isabella it's actually Saturday you have your days mixed up because of all the travelling that we did." Jasper said as he handed me my smokes.
"Thanks Jasper." I took my smokes and went out the front to smoke.
"Why are you out here smoking? Bella, you can smoke inside?" Emmett said coming out and sitting near me.
"I know that but I thought that with you guys having super smell then the smell will linger on everything and we don't want that do we?" I said still smoking.
"That's true but if you feel like smoking in the house feel free to do whatever you want we are here for you not for ourselves. We are here to cater to your every whim no matter how small. If you want someone to go to the other side of the world and get you something than we will do it. Not because we are all afraid of your aunt but because we all care about you if the Major can be a pain in the ass. If you have a carving at all just tell us and we will try our best to get it for you as fast as possible." Emmett said as he stole one of my smokes and smoked with me.
"So if I was to say that I wanted a puppy that no one was to eat then you would get me a puppy?" I said trying to look serious.
"Bella you can't have a puppy, you would end up killing it as a newborn when you go all vamp." Peter said coming out with us.
"Are you telling me that I can't have a puppy Peter?" I pouted.
"What did Emmett say about pouting earlier? If you were to get a puppy then it wouldn't last long before you ate it as a newborn blood is blood but I know because I may have seen you going crazy. Don't even bother playing my aunty will want me happy card because she would agree with me on this." Peter said.
"Fine I get it no animals you big meanie." I cried.
"Peter you made her cry. Jasper, Peter made Bella cry." Emmett said the second part a bit louder so that Jasper could hear.
Jasper came out a few seconds later and whacked Peter over the head and told him to disappear for a while.
"Isabella settle down I won't let Peter tell you anymore thing that will make you upset. I have some news that you have been expecting since Maria told us about it. You mother Renee passed away about twenty minutes ago. She was informed of your death and she had a fatal heart attack." Jasper said holding my hand as I cried for my mother. "Now Maria is going to do you a favour she's going to do a very nice thing for you.
She's going to your mother's funeral and we are going to get a live feed of it. She has also informed me that Alice will be there so if you want me to tape it for you and edit her out that would be fine by me."
"I wouldn't mind seeing her it's just going to be hard for me to watch it anyway." I said drying my eyes on his shirt.
"Don't worry Isabella we will all be here for you." Jasper said as he helped me inside. "I'm going to slowly give you your emotions back but you won't be able to feel it at first but you will eventually. By the time that you are well enough to be turned someone in this very house will turn you."
"Does anybody know when that will be?" I asked.
"Peter does, so does Maria but neither of them is telling us anything. We are as in the dark about your change as you are. All they will tell us is that it is someone in this house at this very moment." Emmett said as he walked back into the house.
"I wish I knew when it would happen." I mumbled out loud.
"Don't worry Bella you will get better at everything and when you are all better you will get turned." Peter said.
"Go up and get some sleep Bella you'll feel a lot better in the morning then you do now." Rose said leading me up the stairs.
"Night everyone." I yelled out over my shoulder.
"Night Bella." Everybody yelled back to me.
"Goodnight Isabella. I will be up shortly to help you sleep abit more since it's been a horrific couple of days." Jasper said. "You won't remember but you had some pretty bad nightmares in the car on the way here."
"Thank you Jasper" I whispered back in my head to him.
"Have a good sleep Bella we can get to know each other in the morning." Rosalie said as she tucked me in for the night. "Jasper will be up shortly." She whispered the last bit in my ear.
Next thing that I know is that I'm dreaming a nice dream about Edward still being alive but I know he's not I saw him die.
