Hey guys sorry about the wait, I've been on a little break from my usual plots and it's only because I'm getting more and more into Thor and the Avengers, but I'll keep trying to update my other fics when I can and I'm not cancelling any I just need a break.

As the title says this is the big graduation chapter for Bella and the Cullens, with the party as well plus more battle plans against the upcoming army. It starts off with a little sadness, but Nasia gets her turn in this a lot, so you might expect a little drama.

Written by myself and my sister author AnnaBoleyna1536, and we don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Forks High School auditorium:

Nasia sat with Carlisle, Esme, and Charlie in the high school's auditorium, waiting for the graduation ceremony to begin. Nasia had not been around the Cullens much since that fight with Rosalie, she spent more time in the woods or with Charlie whenever Belle was with Edward. Carlisle told her she didn't have to worry, but Nasia knew she went too far.

Rosalie had avoided her since that fight, on the rare occasion Nasia went back to the Cullens to hunt Rosalie stayed in another room while Esme and Alice took her out. Esme told her Rosalie had always been the way she was, and even if Nasia apologized she shouldn't worry too much. That was easier said than done, Nasia knew Rosalie would have it out for her now, but she should try and get along with it all tonight.

Right as the graduates marched into the hall and into their seats the principal started his speech, but Nasia tuned him out and kept her eyes on Belle. She seemed happy, but she was also troubled and that was thanks to Jacob. In a walk they had by the marshes Jacob had sneak attacked Belle with a kiss after proclaiming his love to her, and she punched him for it. Belle's hand was sprained and Edward about started a war with the wolf, but thankfully Charlie broke it up and Belle managed to cool down with the Cullens.

Nasia had called Jacob and told him to watch it, she may not like Edward all that much but if Jake kept putting moves on her during these crucial times it would only get ugly. He agreed to back down, but it would only be temporary.

After that Belle had found out from Rosalie why she was so against Belle becoming a vampire, and Nasia had to admit maybe it was a good reason but it was Belle's choice. She told her about her dead fiancé, the one who raped Rosalie with his friends and left her to die in the street before Carlisle found her. Rosalie had killed them all after she turned, and she had gone along with Carlisle until she found Emmett and they mated. Rosalie's wants were that for a married life and children, to have her own child and aging as a human into life with so many possibilities with Emmett…but as a vampire it wasn't possible to procreate.

Nasia felt for her, she once had dreams like that when she was a kid…but being kidnapped and hurt by the monsters who stole her from Charlie and Belle, it made her realize perhaps she wouldn't have it. Now that she was a vampire, Nasia had no interest to marry or even adopt if it were possible but Belle could have it all. As far as she could tell Belle had no issues of not being a mother, or perhaps she never thought about it. Either way she would be happy, that's all Nasia wanted for her.

"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up." Nasia snapped from her thoughts when the valedictorian Jessica Stanley started her speech. "Our answers were astronaut, president, or in my case a princess." chuckles were heard all around.

'Belle…' Nasia spotted her sister sitting between some others, and the Cullens in another part. Alice was smiling as usual, she was always smiling. Sometimes her cheeriness made Nasia's teeth hurt.

"You okay Ana?" Charlie whispered to her.

"Yeah…just thinking." she smiled at Belle and waved, and she waved back. Alice had done Belle's makeup, she looked beautiful and her hair naturally curled at the ends like her own. Nasia donned a short purple dress with a V-neck, loaned by Alice with her hair up in a curled bun.

"You know we could have a little celebration for you too, later on." he touched her arm.

"No dad, this is for Belle and all these other graduates. I'll be at the party tonight, and…what'll you do?"

"I'm gonna be at the station, I switched shifts so I could make it today. I'll figure something up for you though." he would assure her, but Nasia felt her stone heart crack. Once she was sure Belle was safe she might leave, she didn't know where she would go, but she couldn't stay with the Cullens or Charlie.

"You don't have to dad, this is enough." she didn't want to get too attached to Charlie, no matter how much it hurt. It was bad enough Nasia had not heard from Renee, but to leave Charlie again…what could she do?

"Edward Cullen!" time had passed quickly as the graduates went up for their diplomas. Nasia actually wondered how many the Cullens had and where they kept them hidden. They had to have graduated from high school and college multiple times, to keep up the charade to live, Carlisle Cullen was something with them.

"Bella Swan!" This made Charlie and Nasia stand to applaud her. Belle smiled and blushed, and walked down back to her seat. It was a nice ceremony, and Nasia didn't have to worry about her own. Like Belle she'd never been one for parties, but she would attend the one tonight.

The ceremony went on for about four hours, and after the class was graduated and released caps went flying everywhere. Some were caught, others were left behind. Graduates found their families and left to the parking lot, congratulations going everywhere left and right.

"You did great Bells, I'm proud of you." Charlie kissed Belle's head.

"And so am I." Nasia hugged her. "Your life is about to begin Belle."

"I wouldn't say that…" they walked back towards Charlie's police car.

"Alright you two, I'm gonna get back to the station and you two get back to the house and get ready for your party."

"Okay dad, we'll see you in the morning?" Charlie nodded, kissed both their cheeks, and left. Belle and Nasia went back to the old pickup, but Nasia decided to drive. The drive back was quiet, and after they made it inside they went up to Belle's room. "Nasia…are you alright?"

"I'm fine Belle why?" Belle gave her a look.

"You aren't fine, I can see it. What's wrong?" part of being twins knew when one or the other was feeling upset or off.

"I just…I just feel a bit uneasy that's all. I may be a vampire, but even I can feel odd."

"Were you jealous?"

"No, not jealous…you have nothing for me to be jealous of I'm glad for you. You have a boyfriend who obviously loves you, no matter how stupid he may be, friends who care for you, and you have dad and…Renee." Belle's eyes widened a bit.

"Is this about mom? Because she hasn't talked to you?" Nasia tensed, she had wanted to talk about Renee for a while now but…now it was out.

"In a way, I mean she called about you to congratulate you and you got to see her just last week." Nasia knew about the trip to Florida, when that Victoria girl came back around though Nasia had to stay at the house. Belle went there hoping to see her mom, their mom, and she came back with a quilt made from old t-shirts from trips in the past. "There's a lot going on Belle, I guess it's just hitting me now."

"Hold on, Nasia if you want I can call mom I mean I was going to when we got back." Belle had promised Renee she would call once the ceremony ended. The woman wanted to be sure she would have a fun time now as a newly graduated future college student.

"Belle, did she even ask about me when you went? I mean did it ever come up?" Belle frowned, that was enough answer.

"Nasia I tried to, I just…mom kept shooting it down. I don't know why she won't talk about it, but we can try now." Belle pulled out her phone. "Do you want to?" Nasia was tired of the excuses, she wanted to know Renee's reason for all this and she was going to get answers.

"Yes." Belle dialed the number quickly, put the phone on speaker, and it rang several times.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom, it's me."

"Bella! Hey honey how was the ceremony?"

"It was good, it was good I'm about to get dressed for the party." Belle glanced at Nasia and she nodded.

"Have you used the quilt yet? Is it comfy enough for you?"

"It is mom, but look we need to talk."

"About what honey? Is everything okay with you and Edward?"

"We're fine, but this is about Nasia." the other end was silent. "Please don't hang up, it's just me in the house and I need to know…why won't you talk about her? Or even call her? She's really upset about this mom." there was a pause, and then a sigh.

"Bella, it was hard when Anastasia disappeared…I didn't know how to cope with it. I know your father tried everything to find her, but it was just easier for me to let her go."

'Let me go?'

"But mom, didn't you hope that she would come back one day? She's here now, she wants to see you to talk to you."

"I…Bella I can't do it, Anastasia is my daughter but…from what you and Charlie said…she's damaged."

'What?' if Nasia could cry she would be right now.

"Mom how can you say that? Nasia has been through a lot, she's not damaged she's just trying to adapt."

"Bella she was raised by people who hurt her, I don't know what to do for her. Phil and I talked and I think…I think we should just let it be. Nasia is your sister, you can be a part of her life, but if she drags you down like before I can't help you."

"DRAG HER DOWN?! HOW WOULD I DRAG MY OWN SISTER DOWN YOU HEARTLESS BITCH?!" Nasia didn't mean to shout, but she did and Renee gasped.

"Bella…I thought you were alone."

"Mom…that was Nasia."

"You whore, you fucking snooty whore!" Nasia started cursing. "You can burn for all I care now, I don't know what I did to make you think me an undesirable, but now I could care less. Charlie is a better parent than you will ever be."

"Nasia…honey I…"

"Go to hell." with that said Nasia hung up the phone.

"Nasia…"

"Don't Belle, just don't." Nasia cooled down, her power was edging to come out. "Let's just get ready for the party." Nasia went and pulled out the other outfit Alice loaned her, a black set of ankle pants, a dark blue v-neck blouse, matching shoes, and some jewelry. Nothing was said as they got dressed, but while Nasia was busy fixing up her hair again and makeup she felt a dead pit form in her body.

'Renee…she doesn't want me.' so her own mother didn't want her, it didn't matter she figured as much. Nasia would just enjoy tonight, as much as possible, and get on through the night.

"You ready?" Belle came in wearing some new jeans and a blue long sleeve shirt.

"Yeah, I'll drive." she grabbed the keys, but Belle's hand grabbed hers.

"No let me, ok?" Nasia hesitated, but let the keys fall. They locked up the house, left a note for Charlie, and left in the pickup. Halfway through the ride it was quiet, but as they turned onto the right street Nasia sighed.

"Jake coming?"

"No, I don't think it's a good idea."

"Did you tell him?"

"The punch should've." they pulled into the driveway just as others were arriving. They walked up into the house, hugged Esme and Carlisle, and merged into the crowd of students. Nasia let Belle walk off to her friends, and walked around until she saw Mike Newton coming her way.

"Hey there." he smiled at her.

"Hi." she leaned against the wall. "If you're looking for Belle she's over there." she pointed.

"Actually I was hoping to talk to you." he was nervous, but he stood tall. "Are you…are you doing anything this weekend?"

"No."

"Well…would you mind going to a movie with me?"

"I would, I'm not interested in dating right now. And I know you've tried to hit on Belle many times, but since she's with Edward I'm your next choice."

"No, no I mean I think you're really cute and all but I'd like to know you better."

"You wouldn't if you did know me, look Newton I'm flattered and all but I'm not the one for you. You should be more interested in Jessica, she's all for you."

"Jessica and I dated but…"

"Newton, I can see she likes you a lot. You should try and get back together, maybe take it slow but…try." Newton looked back at Jessica, seeing how she was staring at him but turned away when their gazes met.

"You…"

"Not interested, but she is so go get her." Newton just nodded, and walked over to Jessica and Angela. Belle had gone off to find someone else, and Nasia spotted Rosalie upstairs. They locked eyes for a moment, and Nasia motioned up to the balcony. Rosalie nodded, and she slipped away. "I think we need to talk." they were alone, the door was shut.

"Talk or yell."

"Talk…look Rosalie I'm sorry about what I said, I was out of line. I shouldn't have told you that…"

"No." she stopped her. "If anything I should apologize for my behavior, I wasn't welcoming you into the family."

"I'm not part of your family, Belle is. That's what she wants, and I know she wants to be with Edward forever and I don't agree with it, but it's her choice."

"It's the wrong choice."

"That's not your call, look she told me about your past, how you got here, and what you want. I understand it now, but you can't force Belle to choose between her love and her mortality."

"I wasn't, I just thought she should know what she's giving up." Rosalie looked her straight in the eyes. "What you've been forced to give up."

"Yeah, but that's not my problem anymore. Truthfully I decided long ago I would never be a mother, or even marry. I can't give my heart to anyone because no one has ever wanted me like that. Belle and Charlie are all I have, that's why I'm trying to keep them safe."

"What about your mother?" Nasia glared.

"She doesn't want me, stopped loving me after I vanished. We have a common goal, me, you, Edward, the others, even the wolves, we have to protect Belle and the town. Let's just…call a truce. Can we do that?" she held out her hand, and Rosalie shook it.

"Truce." they shook again, and then a tapping on the window got their attention. Alice and the others gathered upstairs, and Nasia spotted Jacob along with two of his friends Quil and Embry.

"What's going on?" a quick run upstairs got them into a private den.

"The army, a decision's been made." Alice spoke. "There's a lot, and they were passing around Bella's scent from a red blouse."

"What does this mean?" Embry spoke looking between Jake and the Cullens.

"It means we've got a big battle coming up, and it's going to get ugly. We don't have the numbers, so we need your help." Jake didn't need to be asked.

"They're after Bella, we'll help all we can. Sam agrees." wolf telepathy, came in handy right now.

"I think we should go with Nasia's idea." Rosalie pitched in. "But we need to train first."

"Nasia's idea?" Jake looked at her.

"Have me pose as Belle when the whore comes, and I can distract her until the army is dealt with before I kill her."

"You won't be alone, you are a newborn and Victoria knows how to escape in gruesome situations. Edward will accompany you." Carlisle looked at his son.

"I won't leave Bella alone."

"Edward…" Belle stopped him. "Nasia, I don't want you to get hurt."

"I'll be fine sis, you just need to stay hidden until this is done." Belle wanted to protest, but Esme shushed everyone.

"We can discuss a plan later, for now we must focus on training. Jasper is the only one who can help us with that, Jacob can you arrange a meeting with the others?" Jacob nodded.

"We start first thing tomorrow." Carlisle looked to everyone. Nasia knew this was bound to happen, now all she had to do was wait.

'That bitch won't get anywhere near Belle, not as long as I still live.'

Very sorry about the wait, been on a break from my usual plots so I started some others. It's a lot to take on but I've seen authors with at least a hundred fics and more than half were completed with others still in progress.

Next chapter we see the training, and we find out the plan before the big brawl. I'll also throw in a spot for Jane and the other Volturi guards at the end, get an idea of what's going on with them.

R&R

Later!
