"Dinner will be ready soon guys just give it half an hour. Emmett I set a place for you as well." Randall said.
"I can see the question turning in your head there Ben. We have very good hearing. Everybody in this house can hear everything that is going on in this room as if they were sitting right next to you. We have better eyesight then you guys as well. Our sense of smell is even better. You girls have nothing to worry about either. As you saw earlier we can disappear in a split second. The only thing that you would feel if we were to run all over this house would be the wind whipping past you. Emmett likes his practical jokes so you had better watch out for him." Peter said.
"So tell us about yourselves. You know all about us and some of us know a little about you while the rest of us are in the dark." Jasper said.
"Jasper so good to have you back again." I said.
"Well my name is Angela Webber I'm nineteen years old. I am a witch hard to believe with a minster for a father. I have twin brothers that are now seven years old. I have known about you guys for a little while now. It was only after I watched Bella that I actually worked it out. It was in her zombie period so she wouldn't remember it. A lot of people watched her back then including a lot from the reservation. I put a spell on her so that only the people that know about the supernatural would understand what she was saying. I was the first person to watch her. What Bella didn't know was Charlie left looking for the Cullens' to give them a piece of his mind. We had full conversations that she wouldn't remember sorry Bella. I tried everything that I could think of to help her but nothing helped. Well until Jacob Black came into the picture." Angela said.
"Ben Cheney is the name. I'm nearly nineteen years old. I don't have any family. Just a mother and father that's about it. Nothing really special about me. Like Angela I watched Bella a few nights in the beginning with Angela present of course. We found out about Edward's power and had to hide that we even knew about you guys when you came back. One thing that Angela doesn't know is that I have liked her since we were kids. Most people don't know this but Edward was the one that got me into gear to ask Angela out. Thank you for doing that Edward." Ben said.
"I knew that." Emmett said as he came into the room again. "I was in the class when we were talking about it that's how Edward knew to get you two together he was doing something nice for Angela because she was friends with Bella and he thought that getting you two together would be nice."
"That was supposed to stay a secret Emmett." Edward said from the corner he was standing in.
"Oh shut it ghost boy." Emmett said.
"Just wait till I come back. I'm going to kick your ass so bad you won't know what hit you." Edward said.
"What do you mean Edward?" Emmett said.
"In a few years' time I will be coming back as a human that is going to be turned by Bella herself when I turn twenty this time." Edward said. "Carlisle should have waited a few more years before he turned me but that can't be helped now. I will be coming back sooner than we first thought. I know who my parents are going to be, when I'm going to be born, and when I get turned and my name.
No I am not going to tell anyone who my parents are. Only three people and I use that term loosely know who my parents are. I'm going to be conceived shortly. I will be turned in about twenty odd years from now. The same goes for my name one three people know my name."
"How come so soon Edward?" Rose asked. "I thought we still had time before the Volturi show up?"
"They are still going to be showing up at the time fifty years from now but my parents have decided that they want to do some good in the world so they are having me shortly." Edward said. "I will disappear as soon as I have been conceived and only Bella will be able to hear me and she will guide me through my life. I can't wait till I am with my family again. In human or vampire form it doesn't matter to me."
"Okay people who are eating dinner is done. Blood is being heated for those of us that need a drink." Randall said coming in and handing Jasper some blood.
Forty five minutes later dinner was finished.
"Peter is Maria going to be calling tonight?" I asked.
"No she isn't Bella she is really busy tonight damn newborns are making her miss talking to you. She might call if she has a chance before you go to bed." Peter said.
"I haven't spoken to her in days." I pouted.
"Isabella what have you been told about pouting?" Jasper stood me up from my chair and put me in the corner. "You are to stay there until I say."
"If either of you two pouts then you get put in the corner as well." Randall said. "Bella likes pouting a lot she has come to know that corner very well."
I sent Jasper some irritation to see what he would do but nothing happened. Ten minutes of standing in the corner and Jasper let me out of it.
"Alright everyone into the lounge and we can catch Ben and Angela up to speed with everything we didn't cover earlier." Peter said. "Alright so you know that Bella has been controlled her whole life. Okay that's a good starting point.
It started out as Edward wanting a mate but things turned sour around the time that Bella turned five. Alice and Edward were fighting over where she and her mother would be living next because Alice knew that Maria was watching them so it was time to move them. They found a place not far from where they were living at the time so they made Renee move them there. It was at that time that Bella really started fighting for control of herself she had not long started school and was excelling but after the move she dumbed down again. Renee moved them out of that house not long after they moved in because she turned a bit paranoid. She thought that someone was following her. What she didn't know was that was really true. Alice was always one step ahead of her. Bella was halfway through fourth grade when Renee got her feelings again. Maria had found them six months before they moved again. They had someone tailing them from that point on because Jasper had warned Maria that Alice was a 'seer'. Renee moved them again when Bella was half way through sixth grade then again not long into Bella's eight grade. Not long after that Phil come into the picture. Bella decided that she had enough of moving around and moved to Forks her junior year because Renee had that feeling again and Phil was going places in his job.
Meanwhile Edward and Alice are trying to keep Jasper from knowing everything that is going on. He almost caught them a few times with red eyes but Alice had special contacts made so they were never caught. Edward killed a few bad guys so that Alice wasn't able to create her army. Killed them at the right times as well. If he hadn't they would all have had kids that turned out like them and it would have made more people for Alice to control.
Alice thinks that she should be in charge of the Vampire Race but it is not her that is going to the one in charge. No Bella it isn't you either. It's going to be Maria if you can believe it. She's going to change the world as we know it so live it up while you can because soon we won't be living like this. We will have more freedom but not too much. The only rule that will still be in effect will be the don't let humans know of our existence, oh and stay out of the sun. Can't believe that we sparkle. We got ripped off in that department."
"Did you just say sparkle?" Ben said laughing.
"Yes Ben we sparkle like a disco ball." Peter said. "Now to get back on track again.
*** Graphic talking starts here ***
Alice and her mate Antonio are going to be examples of what happens when you go up against Maria and lose. Antonio does not like his treatment at the present moment. He is being subjected to daily rapes his own fault for listening to Alice. Limb removal and painful reattachment. Before you ask the only way to actually hurt us is to pull us apart piece by piece. Right this minute he doesn't have several fingers and few toes. He is also missing an ear. I won't give you the gory details but he is getting raped as well. This is all punishment set forth by Maria once she learned what he and Alice got hold of Bella. Alice is really going to cop it when Maria catches up to her. She won't like it at all. They had some awful things set up to do to Bella if they ever got their hands on her. Not to mention what the Volturi would do with her as well.
Edward is very lucky that he is dead because he knows what Caius had planned for him. Let me put it this way every male body part comes off. Caius likes using them on himself while the male is tied to a chair watching him use it on himself. Once or twice he may have used it on the person that it came off as well as sticking his own in. He is very cruel to his 'pets' and I use that term lightly because they don't give their consent for any of the torture to happens to them. Edward was to be his prize possession as a way to get back at Carlisle for 'embarrassing the vampire race'. Caius thinks that Carlisle is a threat to the Volturi but Carlisle really doesn't feel like taking over the Vampire Race. Caius also thinks that if he got hold of Edward then Carlisle will be no problem bending to the Volturi's rules. I shouldn't be telling you this but if Caius ever got hold of Carlisle the way he wants then he won't live for long. Caius is just as power hungry as Aro maybe even worse than Aro.
*** Graphic bit ends ***
Aro likes all of his collectables to do what he wants all the time. If you don't then he gets Jane and Alec in and they torture you until you agree with him. Whereas Caius will just torture you until you have no sprit and then he bends you to his will.
I think I might leave it there for the night and we do something to get everybody who has to sleep get their minds on something else unless Jasper can you help keep the nightmares away?" Peter finished.
"I think we should do what I've been doing to Bella for the last couple of nights. Have Edward help them through everything and understand as well." Jasper said.
"Looks like it's back to 'dream Edward' for a while Edward." I said.
"Isabella Higginbotham you will behave yourself young lady." I heard Maria say.
"Yes Aunt Maria. I will." I said.
"Now introduce me to your friends Isabella." Maria said.
"Maria I would like to introduce Angela Webber she is a witch. This is Ben Cheney he's just a human." I said pointing to them.
"Hi there my name is Maria I'm Isabella's great however many times over Aunt. She is the last of my bloodline so I don't want any harm to come to her. Isabella have you had a chance to watch the DVD I sent you yet?" Maria said.
"She hasn't had the chance Maria she just woke up this morning, then was out of it for a few hours, we ran into some trouble all coming back and trying to control a very pissed off Major then her friends turned up so we had a quick recap of histories to catch them up. It was a lovely service up until Alice showed up that is." Peter quickly told her.
"Yes it really was. I want to that you guys for all the help you gave me getting it ready. Now I have to go take care of Antonio so I will call again later. Be good Isabella." Maria said.
"Why is it she doesn't like talking to me long for?" I asked.
"She is a little busy trying to get everything up to standard so that you have a comfortable place after you are changed. She doesn't like that everything is below her now she wants to put new bathrooms and open the place up a bit more." Peter said.
"She shouldn't have to do anything to her place I could live in a hole in the ground and still be comfortable." As soon as I said that last bit everybody but Angela and Ben looked anywhere but me. "Was it something I said?"
"Bella, Maria does live in a hole in the ground and it has absolutely nothing in it so she's fixing it so that you have somewhere to go for downtime." Jasper said. I made an 'O' face.
"Okay that changes things then." I said. "So what are we going to do know? I mean we've had three newborn attacks on me in the month alone. Gotten rid of one would-be rapist. Found out that I'm Jasper's sires long distant relative. Had three of my friends killed because someone didn't like that I was getting in the way."
