Twilight Fan fiction

Transitionals

Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Twilight. I have used some sentences directly from the book, I don't own them. There are just some descriptions and dialogue that I can't bear to change and or leave out. They were originally and forever owned by Stephenie Meyer.

Alright everyone this is the second to last chapter, so it's time to tell the outcome for what will be happening to this fanfiction. Drum roll please.

I will by writing 4 shorter stories that will be between 20 and 50 chapters. Each story will be in Bella's point of view, and then after her version is completed I will be adding the Cullens' point of view, for that section of the story. I have to say I like how the Cullen's point of view of Transitionals is coming, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Now before we continue the story, I would just like to congratulate all of the people who seem to know where my story is headed.

Chapter 24

It was safe to say that I was afraid to open my eyes.

A hand was set against my forehead. I opened my eyes to see golden eyes, but they didn't belong to the person I was expecting to see. The face that was hovering over me was covered by a full white beard and mustache. The full hair on top of his head was just as white.

"Sorry about this Bella, we needed a room that could hold everyone." Grandpa Ray said, with a small apologetic smile. He leaned back out of my line of vision.

I almost laughed, thanks to the room I was in. I was much to relieved to laugh though.

I was laying on the white couch in the Cullen's living room.

"Your eyes stay open now." Anna stomped over to my side, her little fists planted on her hips.

I chuckled until her words hit me.

"How long have they been closed?" I tried to sit up.

Grandpa Ray rested his hand against my forehead, gently keeping me from getting up. "It's Friday, Bella."

My eyes widened in surprise. Friday? "What happened?"

Grandpa Ray gave me stern glare. "I won't tell you until you calm down. You need to relax Isabella."

I took a deep breath to calm myself.

"You're dad called me, before leaving Forks," Grandpa Ray started. "I made my way to Phoenix as fast as I could. I met up with Duke in Jacksonville and we flew together the rest of the way."

That didn't make any sense. How could Duke have been with Grandpa Ray?

"I ran with Duke to the safe house but when we got there, it was already flattened."

Grandpa Ray saw my confusion and gave me a sympathetic smile. "Duke wouldn't betray your family Bella, you know that. You should always trust your heart, and your heart knows Duke wouldn't do that. You can ask Anna too. Duke wasn't in the house with any of you."

I glanced over at Anna, who nodded. "It's true Auntie, that wasn't Duke."

"So it was a trick," I gasped.

He nodded. "They used an impersonator, he took the form of Duke. I have a feeling that's how they impersonated Toby too, for the phone call."

"We knew it was a trick, and yet we still fell for it." I felt like an idiot.

Grandpa Ray nodded his head thoughtfully. "It's in the past Bella, there's nothing we can do about it, but we can learn from it."

I sighed. So Duke wasn't the one to betray the family. The list was small now, but I couldn't believe any of the people on it, would betray us. Finding that person was going to be hard physically and emotionally.

I needed something else to think about. "How did we survive?"

Grins broke out around the room, confusing me.

Anna pointed over at Cissy proudly.

I was so confused. How did Cissy save us?

Grandpa Ray chuckled. "After arriving at the house, I used your information box to find all of you in the rubble. We unburied you, and instead of bodies, we found a group of people who were very much alive."

"I don't understand. How?"

"Cissy is a connector. She connected to your shield. Her powers kept it up long enough for her family connection to connect to everyone." Grandpa Ray glanced over at Cissy. "You all were all really lucky. The family connection is automatic otherwise she wouldn't have been able to put it up. We also have to be glad that she is part of the legacy line, otherwise she wouldn't have had her powers yet."

Anna smiled proudly at her sister before turning back to me. "The bad guys think we are dead."

I reached out and brushed her hair back. "For a little while, they'll figure it out sooner or later that we survived. Until then though we can enjoy some from freedom."

Anna bounced excitedly.

"Whatever you're thinking, I doubt we're that free. We should really stay in the state."

We all laughed at Anna's pout.

Once I had stopped laughing, I turned to Grandpa Ray. "Now what happens?"

He patted my head gently. "We are going to have to take things slowly. You're over fifty percent Bella."

I shrugged. "I knew I would be. What am I at?"

"Sixty seven point four. But it could have been higher," he reminded me.

He was right, it could have been higher, that was why I didn't grimace. "Any new developments?"

"Not that we've seen. You may find that your energy levels are below normal again." Grandpa Ray shrugged, getting up from where he was sitting. "We'll need to keep an eye on it. It would seem though that when it comes to your transition, you are extremely lucky. It could have been a whole lot worse."

I nodded my understanding. "May I get up now?"

He laughed at that. "Yes Bella, you may get up."

Edward held his hand out for me to take, and helped me up.

Once I was on my feet, the memories of what happened at Toby's safe house all started to come back. There were a couple of questions that I needed, and wanted to ask. There was one that I was desperate to ask.

"Grandpa Ray?" When he met my gaze I continued. "You would know if any of the family faked their death, right?"

His face softened. "I'm looking into it Bella, but I haven't found anything that would suggest they survived."

I had already guessed his answer, but I couldn't stop my disappointment. I didn't get a chance to dwell on that though.

"How are you feeling Bella?" Edward asked, concern written on his face. "That last explosion crashed into your shield, hard. We all saw it."

That was true, but I felt fine. I glanced over at Anna. She smiled sweetly up at me. "Yes?" she asked, knowing exactly what I was going to ask.

I shook my head, letting a smile spread across my face. "I'm fine. How's Cissy? Is she okay after all she did?"

We all turned to look at the baby that was sound asleep in Esme's arms.

"She's just fine Bella," Esme assured me.

"She's been acting more like a human world baby, rather than a human other world baby," Emmett teased.

I rolled my eyes; that only encouraged him.

"And we can't forget that one. She's been acting like a normal three year old." He shrugged. "That's expected though, what with how much energy she's been giving you."

I picked Anna up, giving her a hug. "Thank you Anna."

She squeezed me back as tightly as she could. "I love you Auntie Bella."

"I love you too Anna. So what are we going to do now?" I should have known better than to ask Anna.

Alice squealed excitedly and started rocking onto her toes and back to her heels.

"Alice owes me a shopping trip." Anna said as she bounced in my arms.

I sighed and set Anna down, while the others laughed.

Edward picked Anna up and gave her to Alice. "You can go shopping with Alice. Your Auntie needs to relax, so she can't go with you."

Anna thought about it before nodding excitedly. Surprising me by agreeing to that. I had been sure that the incident at the safe house would have made her more determined to stay by my side. I would have to ask Edward about that."

After a quick embrace from the others, Edward dragged me out to his car.

Alice was right behind us with Anna, but no one came out with Cissy. Was Anna really going to be separated from both of us?

"Rose and I are taking Anna, Esme is going to keep Cissy." Edward explained, opening my door for me.

I was shocked, hopefully though, everything would turn out for the best.

Edward got in behind the wheel and we were soon speeding down the driveway.

"So, where are we going?" I asked.

Edward glanced my way and smiled. He took my hand, bringing it up to his lips for a quick kiss. "I figured you'd like to know what happened, but you wouldn't want everyone trying to tell you.

I nodded thankfully. "Where are we going?"

"Your house."

I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the news. "So, what happened?"

His eyes hardened slightly, before he was able to relax. "The last explosion hit your shield, and the force of it knocked us all to the ground. Everything collapsed on top of us but your shield protected us. We couldn't figure out why your shield was still working even though you were unconscious. We didn't have time to worry about that though."

He spared me a quick sorrowful look. "We thought we were goners, some members of the Undermining came to make sure we were finished off, but they couldn't find us. We found out later that Cissy's family connection kept us concealed from them. They finally left, but it was rather difficult to unbury ourselves from the debris, what with needing to protect you, your dad, and the little girls, from it. Eventually Grandpa Ray and Duke showed up.

"You should have seen Rose when she saw Duke. If Grandpa Ray hadn't of grabbed her, she probably would have killed him. Rose only calmed down because Anna told her that Duke wasn't with the Undermining."

"I'm glad it wasn't Duke, but I can't imagine anyone who knew about the safe house would betray us." No, I couldn't imagine it, but all the evidence pointed to one of Toby's most trusted friends. "I'm not looking forward to finding the real traitor."

"Anna and Jasper have been working on her powers. They are trying to find him. Jasper was able to help her focus on the sensation she got from the impersonator. We all know the feeling. She can show it to you when we get back."

"We're going to have to be careful from now on. We'll have to make sure who we're talking with is who they really are." That was going to be annoying, and slightly difficult.

Edward started rubbing soothing circles in the back of my hand with his thumb. "It'll be okay Bella. We'll get through this."

I couldn't help smiling over at him. "Together?"

He laughed, nodding. "Together."

I hadn't noticed that we were parked outside my house, until Edward disappeared from my side and reappeared outside my door. He opened it for me and helped me from the car.

We walked together inside the house and into the living room.

Edward continued the explanation after we had sat down. "Grandpa Ray led us to one of his houses, so we could go over what happened. He was concerned about you, but he was worried about Cissy. At the time we didn't understand."

I smirked at him. "You couldn't read Grandpa Ray's mind."

He glared at me. "I didn't get anything useful, he was thinking about his wife."

"Did he explain why?"

Edward sighed in annoyance and nodded. "He always thinks about his wife to keep himself from giving away important information, should someone try to read his mind."

"Anyway, you can continue now, I won't interrupt again."

He gave me a look that said he didn't believe me. "Back at the house Grandpa Ray took care of Cissy. He had us put you in the guest bedroom while he gave Cissy something in a bottle."

"A healing tonic no doubt."

He glared at me and I gasped, clapping my hands over my mouth. He laughed at that.

"Whatever it was, it seemed to relax him, so it must have done what it was supposed to. After she had finished the bottle he put her to bed, and only after she was asleep did he tell us what was going on. We were all shocked to say the least, when we found out what Cissy's actual power was.

"It makes since though. The different things that couldn't be explained before. How your energy stabilized, your percentage stopped increasing, and how your shields had stayed up for so long even though they shouldn't have been able to."

I thought about what he had said. It did make since. Cissy wasn't old enough to control her powers, but because she's a connector her powers work off of instinct.

"Cissy's connection with me is strong, that's why she could connect with my powers. She's connecting with Rosalie, so that's probably where she's getting the speed."

Edward nodded. "That's what Grandpa Ray thought."

My stomach growled then. I wrapped my arms around it as a blush colored my face.

Edward laughed gently, running his hand over my cheek. "Time for some lunch for the transitional."

I joined in with his laughter as he pulled me towards the kitchen. I sat down at the table and watched in surprise as my wonderful vampire boyfriend/mate made me something to eat.

It wasn't anything fancy, but that didn't make the gesture less sweet. He set a bowl of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich in front of me.

"Thank you." I gave him quick kiss before turning to the food.

He waited patiently for the verdict.

"This is so not fair. I liked being able to do something better than you." I frowned, only to have him kiss it away.

"Silly Bella."

I tried to smack his arm, but he backed away though so I couldn't hurt myself.

"Tell me more about what happened while I was unconscious."

He glanced at my plate before meeting my eyes. "Eat, and I'll talk."

I dipped my sandwich in the soup and took a bite.

"We had to stay hidden in Phoenix for a day before we were able to come home. Grandpa Ray explained Cissy's powers and he's creating a list about how best to help her with her powers. As her powers increase, so does her energy. Grandpa Ray though isn't too concerned, he sees it as more energy that they can give you.

"Grandpa Ray has been doing some investigating, looking for the person who betrayed your family. So far he hasn't found anything. The list of names is short but it won't be easy to find whoever did betray you."

"Believing someone that close to Toby could do that, will be harder."

My phone rang. I glanced at the number.

Edward took the phone. "Grandpa Ray doesn't want any of us talking to someone who has any connection to the other world, at the moment. And anyone who knew about that safe house is off limits until he says so."

"Carlos would know about that one, he helped Toby build." Actually that wasn't really true. "Well, he helped with the basic outline. He didn't know about any of Toby's secrets for the house. He only trusted that information with family."

Carlos finally gave up, calling me.

"Are you done?"

I handed him my empty plate and quickly finished my soup so we could do something else.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing, just sitting on my couch with each other. Edward was watching my carefully, making sure I stayed calm and didn't do anything that could trigger my percentage to increase. I didn't mind though. I enjoyed just sitting there beside him.

"Hey, do you know why Anna was willing to go shopping with Alice even though she knew I wouldn't be going too?" I asked, remembering that I had wanted to know what she had been thinking.

Edward brushed a hand over my hair. "Being away from you was a good thing for her Bella. She realized that she didn't need to be with you twenty four seven. She told Esme yesterday that she wanted to stay with her while we go to school."

The thought of not having to take the girls to school with me, made me want to leap in the air in joy.

After hearing that wonderful news I lost track of time sitting there on the couch with Edward.

Charlie walked in carrying a pizza. "You hungry Bella."

I was a little hungry. I got up and followed him into the kitchen. "Thanks dad."

He surprised me by pulling me into a hug. "You're welcome Bella. It's good to see you up."

Edward and I joined Charlie in the living room while he watched a game. The calm evening was perfect, exactly what Grandpa Ray would want me to have; then Anna came home with Alice.

Alice ran into the house carrying Anna and what looked like twelve shopping bags. "You will never believe all the deals we found."

"Alice don't you dare, Bella's supposed to relax." Edward growled a warning.

She rolled her eyes. "Okay okay, we'll just show her all of the clothes Anna picked out."

I groaned. "If I must."

"You must." The two of them said together.

My calm night ended with a fashion show from Anna. Halfway through, Esme joined us, bringing Cissy home. She stayed for the rest of the fashion show before taking Alice, and Anna's clothes home with her.

I got the girls ready for bed before getting ready myself. Edward smiled from where he sat in the rocking chair. I went over and got my kiss goodnight before climbing into bed. I closed my eyes after laying my head on my pillow, knowing that Edward was watching over us.
