(ROSALIE'S P.O.V)
I spent my last period recalling my conversation with Bella trying not to smile all the time. That would be weird if someone saw that I, Rosalie Lillian Hale smile. People used to see me scowling not smiling like an idiot so I suppress the urge to smile everytime I thought of Bella which I found it difficult.
"You know if you keep smiling like that it would not take long for your human to fall for you." Jasper's comment brought me back to the present. He's grinning in amusement clearly enjoying the rare sight I am displaying. I just now noticed that class was already over and the room is now almost empty.
"What are you doing here, Jasper?" I asked ignoring his comment. Curious as to why is he here when his class was in the room next to mine.
"To tell you that class is over because obviously you were so deep in thought that you haven't noticed. And to inform you to go ahead without me as I was called in the office. Before you ask, no. I don't know why I was called there." Jasper explained answering my unvoiced question. I nodded at him in understanding as I collect my things then we both head out of the room.
Everyone except for Jasper was already there when I reached the parking lot. Alice is animatedly talking about how her class with Bella turned out. It seems that my only sister took a liking to her after that first meeting though I'm not surprised since Bella is such a likeable person, my complete opposite. Emmet has a big smile on his face as he listen to our little sister story while Edward has a deep frown not really paying attention to what Alice is saying. He is looking at the other direction so I followed his gaze. There, not too far from where we are standing, is Bella walking hurriedly to her car as Mike Newton catching up with her. Mike called her name loudly and to my joy, Bella ignored him she instead walk faster as she could.
"What's with the frown, Edward?" I asked not taking my eyes away from Bella.
"I can't read her thoughts. It's like there's a brick wall in her mind stopping me from reading her. How can she do that?" he asked the last part more to himself than me. I was amazed to know this. It was the first time Edward encountered someone that can block his gift and knowing Edward it surely frustrates him. I finally looked at him to see him concentrating very hard as he tried again to read Bella's thought but again, he failed. Alice and Emmet laugh at the annoyed expression of our brother which earned a glare from Edward but that only made my two siblings burst into laughter again. I shook my head in amusement and turned my attention back to Bella.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out with me? You know have dinner, watch movies or just studying together." I froze as soon as I heard this. Mike is asking out my Bella, my mate. He is trying to take my mate away from me. I can't let him do that. I have to do something. Everything around me became a blur and the only thing I can see clearly is my target. Mike Newton. Different dark scenarios of how I will torture him ran through my head but before I could act one of them, I felt large arms around my waist making me immobilize in my place. Suddenly, I felt a wave of calmness washed over me. I closed my eyes then took a deep breath before opening my eyes again.
"Sorry, Mike. I don't like you that way. Now if that's all you want to say, can you please move so I can leave already?" I heard Bella answered Mike. A sigh of relief escape my lips when I heard this. The fear of losing her vanished almost immediately knowing Bella isn't interested in him. I watched Bella as she started the engine of her truck ignoring Mike that still standing there like a statue staring straight to Bella. 'I think he was still shocked that Bella turned him down.' I saw Bella looked to my direction and when she saw me looking back at her, an easy smile broke to her pretty face then drove off.
"Thank you, Jasper." I sincerely said to my brother. I didn't know when did he arrived but I knew he used his gift to calm me down before I could do something I will regret. I can't believe it, I almost reveal what I am in front of our school just because of my stupid possessiveness of Bella. Bella isn't mine yet and probably won't be. She's not an object to be own. I have to remind myself of that. I felt ashamed of what just happened. "I'm sorry everyone, I almost lost it there."
"It was not a stupid possessiveness, Rosalie. It is natural for us to feel possessive towards our mate. You've been waiting for her for a hundred years so we understand that you are scared to lose her." Edward said calmly reading my mind.
"It wasn't exactly you back there, it was your instinct that drove you to act violently against Mike. You need to learn to control it if you don't want something like this happen again. It's a part of a mate thing so don't feel ashamed." It was Jasper giving me a squeeze in a shoulder before climbing up to their car with Edward and Emmet.
"Sorry, Rose. I did not saw that coming in my vision." Alice said apologetically as we too climb up to her car.
"You have nothing to be sorry, Alice. It wasn't your fault." I said reassuring her. "Let's go home. I'm sure you're eager to tell Esme about your new friend.
"Yup, Esme will love her!" Alice cheerfully exclaimed like a child as she drove off.
It was after we all hunted that we found ourselves in the family room to discuss about my human mate. The whole room is quiet for a moment. Either they don't know what to say or they are lost in their own thoughts. Fortunately, Carlisle my adoptive father decided to speak first.
"Rosalie, I am happy for you that you found your mate after all these years." Carlisle said sincerely which I responded with an appreciative smile and nod at him. "Did the two of you had already talk to each other?"
"Yes, we had history class together and worked as partners so we talked a little. She's nice, kind and smart." I stated truthfully that earned a smile from my parents.
"Yup that's right. Bella is really nice and pretty too a little shy but that only makes her more adorable. You will love her, Esme!" Alice agreed cheerful as ever. Esme's face lit up immediately after Alice said the last part. She hug me a motherly hug and told me to invite Bella over so she could meet her.
"Sorry, Esme. But I can't just invite Bella to our house. She's human and her blood smell better than other human does. It's dangerous for her to be around us. No offense Jasper but not all of us have great control." I explained to Esme apologetically. My mother's face fell but recovered quickly understanding that I'm right.
"It's okay, Rosalie. No offense taken. You're right though about her blood. It was tempting but for you I will try my hardest to not give in to the temptation. Just understand if you two got together, I won't be able to get near Bella but that doesn't mean I don't like her or anything I'll just keep my distance to make sure that my blood-lust won't kick in and not hurt your mate." Jasper explained. I am so grateful of him. I know it's hard for him to control his thirst but he's still willing to support me. I smiled at him gratefully and turned my attention to my father.
"Carlisle, what am I going to do? Should I tell Bella what we are?" I asked worriedly. I don't really know what to do now. I want to tell Bella and yet I don't want to in fear of being rejected. There's no guarantee that Bella will accept what I am and that we are mates. What if she hates me for what I am?
"You're thinking too much, Rosalie. She won't hate you. You are her mate. Once she was changed she will know it as soon as she looked into your eyes. Stop worrying. It isn't like you." Edward spoke before Carlisle could answer me. Usually I'll be mad at him for invading my thoughts but right now, I just can't, not after reassuring me that Bella won't hate me. 'Thank you, Edward.' I thought knowing that he can hear it.
"Listen to your brother, Rosalie. Don't worry too much. You said it yourself, Bella is nice, kind and smart so there's a big possibility that she will understand. As for your question, I think it's better to let her get to know you first then tell her about us when she got comfortable enough to you." Carlisle explained and as always, he's right but there is another thing that bothered me.
"Thank you, Carlisle. I think that is the best thing to do for now. But I have another concern. It's about Bella's change, what if she refuse to be change? Will she be forced to be change?" I asked fearing the answer of my father. I don't want to change Bella against her will. It's not right. Bella must have a choice on her own. She has her own free will and I won't take that away from her.
"You know we have rules we must obey, Rosalie. Bella is a human, if you tell her what we are that means you are breaking one of the vampire rules and there are only two choices we have. Kill her or change her. Since killing her is out of the question that only means whether she like it or not, Bella will become one of us." Carlisle explained sadly knowing exactly what my feeling regarding to this. It's much harder now to tell Bella what I am. There's just so many complication. Next to me I felt Alice concentrate. That only meant one thing. She's using her gift. After a moment she came out of it. A smile broke to her face as she look at me.
"I don't know how it will happen but I saw her in my vision. She's a vampire." Alice said smiling happily.
"I don't understand. You're gift only works if someone made a decision so how did you saw her as a vampire in your vision?" I asked confused. Everyone looked at Alice obviously want an answer. They are confuse as I am.
"Yes that's true. So the fact that I saw her in my vision only meant that someone made a decision to change her. Unless, it is Bella who made the decision herself but that is impossible since she doesn't know anything about vampires." Alice explained her smile turned into a frown. "Rose, you haven't decided to change her yet, have you?"
"No. I haven't." I answered mirroring Alice frown.
"Then who? Who made the decision to change her?" Alice asked.
"It's obviously a vampire since no humans knew our existence but why? and how this vampire knew Bella? She moved from Phoenix and we all know that no vampire will stay to that sunny place." Edward said his expression is just the same as I and Alice.
"Alice, what exactly did you saw in your vision?" Carlisle inquired.
"I saw her as a newborn vampire, I can tell by the color of her eyes it was bright red. She's in the forest and there's someone with her there but I can't see who it was. She's utterly beautiful even for a vampire. It was like she was born to be one of us. Her expression is one of contentment." Alice explained in detail.
"Then there's nothing to be worried about. It's clear in Alice' vision that Bella is happy being a vampire." Carlisle said it was more directed at me than the others. "But we have to find out who is this vampire that will going to change Bella, we have to make sure he/she is harmless."
"Hell yeah! No one will ever hurt my future little sister! They have to take me first." Emmet's booming voice filled the room. A huge smile gracing his face. Everyone including me smiled at this. It was nice to know they are all supportive of me. 'There's really a reason I love this family.' I thought to myself.
"I think that's it for tonight's meeting. You can all go now. I am just in my study room if you ever need me." Carlisle announced dismissing us. Esme hugged me one more time before leaving the room. Edward went to the music room and began playing the piano. I guess Jasper went out to hunt again. Alice and I didn't moved to our seats. We just sat there quietly. Both deep in thought though I have no idea what Alice is thinking about.
(BELLA'S P.O.V)
It was right after I finished cooking for dinner when Charlie arrived from work. The two of us ate dinner together as we talked about how did my first day of school went. He was glad to know that I already made friends. I also told him about Jacob's visit this afternoon, that I found him standing in front of our house when I arrived from school. Charlie will just nod or comment something when needed as I carried on with my rumblings but I knew he was enjoying this time with me. It's been long the last time we ate together like this. It's been five years. Once we're done eating and cleaned up the kitchen, I said 'good night to dad then up the stairs to my room.
"Good evening, Princess." a voice greeted me when I entered my room. I quickly close the door to be sure Charlie won't see my vampire guest sitting comfortably at the chair to my computer table.
"Good evening to you too, Jane. Stop with the princess, will you?" I politely returned her greeting with a small pout. Honestly, what is it with them calling me that? "So, did Aro sent you here? Why?"
"No Bella it wasn't Aro that sent me here. Sulpicia was. You know her, she's always worried about you." Jane explained with a shrug.
"She asked you to guard me?" I asked.
"Yes." she confirmed. A smirk broke my face when I heard this. "What are you thinking, Princess?" she asked suspiciously seeing my smirk.
"Oh nothing. Just wondering how will you like attending school with me." I stated nonchalantly grinning at her. I fought the urge to burst out in laughter when I saw the horrified look Jane is displaying at this very moment. It wouldn't be good if Charlie heard me laughing, he may think I'm crazy.
"No, no no Bella. Please." Jane begged at me. She knew if I want to I can make her attend school. All I have to do is dial Sulpicia and ask her to let Jane go to school with me.
"Relax, Jane. I'm just kidding. Besides, I don't know how the Cullens will react if they saw another vampire in our school." I heard her sigh, relieved to hear I wasn't serious of sending her in Forks High.
"The Cullens are here?" she asked surprised.
"Yeah, two of them are in my class. They are both nice to me. Wait, you know them?" I asked the last part intrigued. Aro hadn't mentioned them to me so how did Jane knew them?
"I heard of them, they are kind of known to the vampire world because of their lifestyle and big coven. They refuse to kill or harm humans. They are more like you, Princess. I think you will fit in with them."
"You don't want me in Volterra?" I asked with a mock pout.
"Geez stop with the pouting will you?"
"then stop with the princess!"
"Okay, okay. I will try, Bella." she surrender while I flashed my victorious smile. "I want you to the Castle, you know that, right? You are the only friend I have I can joke with. Most of the vampires in the castle feared me. But Bella, our lifestyle will be hard for you to stomach. We fed to humans, we killed humans and we killed vampires. The kings are known as a ruthless ruler. It was completely different of you. You are kind, humble and helpful being ruthless is not in your nature. Forever is long, Bella. Once you became a vampire, I want you to reside to where you are comfortable and most of all happy."
"And you're telling me you're ruthless after that speech? Thanks Jane, you're a good friend. Don't worry I will think about it carefully." I told her but really, I don't think they are ruthless. If they are, I won't be alive by now. The kings and their queens loves me like a daughter. How can that be ruthless? Yes, they fed and killed humans but that's what vampires are in the first place. Yes they killed vampires too but those vampires are rule violators. So I don't see wrong the way of their living. They just doing what they have to.
"That's all I ask for. Now sleep pri- Bella. You still have school tomorrow." Jane said smiling softly at me.
"Are you staying?" I asked with a yawn.
"Do you want me to?" I nodded at her and with that, she position herself beside me. I cuddled with her as she began to hum a song that made my eyes felt heavy. "Good night, Princess."
I woke up at the sounds of the beautiful voice calling my name. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by an amuse dark red orb staring straight at me. A smirk gracing his glowing face as the sunlight hit directly her form.
"Ugh, you're blinding me, Jane." I muffled rolling to the other side covering my head with a pillow trying to get more sleep.
"Wake up sleepy head. You don't want to be late, do you? Or you don't want to see Rosalie this fine morning?" I jerk my head to her confused. 'I never mentioned to her about Rosalie, right?' Jane continue to smirk as if she knew something I didn't which I think is true.
"You were talking in your sleep. You keep calling her name and everytime you did, you have that silly smile on your face. I admit, I enjoyed the night just watching you. Thank you." her grin grew wider when I turned away and blush furiously. "Now spill it, Princess. Who is this woman that made you blushed like that."
"Rosalie Hale, one of the Cullens. She doesn't know I knew about vampires. Aro advised me to be careful of spilling what I know to a vampire for my protection since there's no humans allowed to know your existence therefore if a vampire found out I knew something they may try to kill me." I explained to Jane as my blush began to disappear. She nodded in understanding.
"What's with Rosalie that caught your interest? I know you Bella, you never had an interest to both humans and vampires before, what made Rosalie different?" Jane asked. Her voiced held with so much curiosity.
"I don't understand myself but when I looked in her eyes for the first time I felt something. Like some kind of pull. The second time we locked gaze it happened again but much more stronger than the first. It's all confusing." I explained to her. Jane remained seated at my bed as she thought about what I had just said. I stretched my arms then got up to find an outfit that I will wear today in school. I put a wristband in my bag for my gym since a thick bracelet aren't allowed in gym. After a moment Jane spoke again.
"It's unusual for you to feel that way while you are still human. I thought only vampire can feel that." Jane said almost to herself.
"So you have an explanation of why I am feeling like this towards Rosalie?" I asked Jane hopeful.
"I am not exactly sure and if my theory is correct, it's not my place to tell you about it. Rosalie is." Jane said vaguely making me more confused than I already had.
"I'll take my leave now, Bella. Good luck in school." she gave me a kiss in the cheek then vanished in a blink of an eye. I quickly went to shower and get ready for school. Once I'm done, I made breakfast for me and Charlie while thinking of what the school store for me today. I can only hope that it won't be that bad as yesterday.
