Hello all,

I know I'm really bad at updating quickly, I'm sorry for that. I'm in my final year at Sixth Form (High school for any of you American's out there) so it's really difficult for me to update quickly, but I'll try harder I promise. I love you all so much!

Time Will Tell- Chapter 7

BPOV

"Wakey, wakey Bella." I heard the voice and immediatley buried myself deeper under the covers, unable to bring myself to face the pixies torment this early on.

"Nnnnnnh." I replied tiredly, refusing to be moved from the safe, warm comfort of the huge bed. For a moment I thought she had left before feeling two ice cold hands wrap around my ankles and yank me out from under the covers. "Ahhhh!" I screamed as I grabbed the pillow, stupidly believing that would give me any leverage against the full force of the pixie.

"Come on Bella! It's bonding day. Everyone's downstairs now. Come on Bella, it's 11am. Wake up!" I rubbed my blurry eyes and glared up at the smallest Cullen with as much venom as I could muster given the uncharacteristic, wake up call I had just received. She simply smirked down at me as I scrambled to my feet.

"Where's Carlisle?" I enquired, looking to the bed, semi-upset by his absence and more than a little pissed off by the lack of protection against Alice's alarm skills.

"Right here." I looked up towards the door of the room and smiled. Carlisle had exited the en suite and was rubbing his wet hair with a towel. He winked at me before looking at Alice. "I told you that I would get her up, you needn't have bothered." He chuckled and knelt down to lift me up and place me back on the end of the bed. "Are you alright?"

I nodded but pouted slightly. He looked good, dressed in a pair of light wash jeans and a white button down shirt, a perfect mixture of smart and casual. Yawning I shifted my weight and climbed leaned up to kiss his cheek, earning a beautiful smile to eminate on his face. I looked at Alice and sighed before pulling myself to my feet and stretching, I shuffled towards the cabinet that held my clothes and grabbed a pair of black leggings and a long, white shirt.

"I'll have a shower then meet you downstairs, alright?" I enquired to the two vampires that stood before me, they simultaneously nodded and left, Carlisle winking before closing the door behind him. My heart skipped a beat as I bit my lip and entered the bathroom.

After I had showered, brushed my teeth and dressed I went downstairs and into the kitchen where the smell of bacon and eggs was coming from. Looking around I saw Carlisle over a stove, he turned and smiled at me, indicating for me to take a seat. I sat down besides my sister who was sat comfortably on Jasper's lap as she ate a plate filled with bacon, eggs, sausages and toast.

"This food is so good, Carlisle! Where did you learn to cook like this? I mean with you not needing to eat." She asked between mouthfuls. I was happy to see her eating so much and so happily.

He chuckled. "Well, I like to spend my time trying out some things for the patients at the hospital, so I guess I picked up an idea as to what is good or not." He finished off my plate of food and sat it down infront of me before taking a seat beside me.

"Alice has planned a life lesson for you two today."Jasper explained, not taking his eyes off Georgia. "She wants to truly welcome y'all into the family." He snickered slightly and Georgia turned to him, having finished her food.

"What? Like an initiation?" Georgia asked, raising a brow as I started eating my food. Carlisle chuckled and shrugged.

"I guess you could call it that." He smirked and came to stand behind me, rubbing my shoulders gently as I ate. Smiling I leant back into his touch and closed my eyes, enjoying myself greatly. I finished my food and rose from my seat to wash it but it was taken from my hands before I could take a step and Carlisle washed it quickly before letting it dry on the side. "Come, let's head into the family room."

We walked, hand in hand, to the room where the other were situated on two of the four couches around the room, like perfect, porcelain figures staring at us with their smiling faces. I sat on the closest couch, Carlisle taking a seat beside me. Georgia and Jasper copied our actions on the final couch and we waited in silence for a moment. Rosalie cleared her throat, breaking the silence.

"Right. Now you two know about us, we thought it was best if you got to know our stories and about 'us'." She started, flipping her blonde hair out of her face. "I'll start, I guess. Right. I was born to a middle-class family in 1915 in Rochester, New York. My father had a stable job in a bank while my mother was a housewife. My parents were social climbers and I, was extraordinarily beautiful, the ticket they needed to reach their social aspiration. I was clearly the favorite, compared with my two younger brothers.

While growing up, I dreamed of a lavish life-a life with a rich husband and children as beautiful as I was. My arents influenced mywant of material things, which made mevain and conceited. Iwanted a big house that someone else would clean, with a large lawn that Iwould play with my childern on.

In Rochester, where I grew up, there was only one family that had what myparents wanted-the Kings. Royce King owned the bank myfather worked in. His son, Royce II, saw mefor the first time and began dating was a quick courtship and we were soon engaged. The engagement went too quickly and wedding plans were made.

I couldn't help but feel something was missing fromtherelationship with him, despite the fact that Royce was everything I'd dreamt of. I soon began wanting what my good friend Vera had-a husband who wasn't necessarily rich, but one that loved her and was there for her, and a small baby they could raise together lovingly.

One night I went to Vera's, and while walking home I realized how late it was and I wished that I had called my father to escort me but realized it was silly since the way was so short. As I continued, I saw several drunken men. One of them turned out be Royce. Showing me off to his friends, he ripped off my jacket and the pins from my hair. When Icried out in pain, the men seemed to enjoy it. They proceeded to beat and later rape Me." She stopped for a second, her eyes darkening and we waited in silence, the only sound coming from both Georgia and I as we breathed heavily.

"Royce and his friends left me dying on the streets. Carlisle came to investigate the grisly scene, found me half-dead and tried to save me humanly. I had never liked Dr. Cullen or his son, as Edward pretended to be. It had bothered me that they were more beautiful than I was. Dr. Cullen, who turned out to be a vampire, saved methat night by turning me into a vampire after he realized I could not survive my wounds as a human. Soon after becoming a vampire, I killed Royce and his friends in vengeance but was careful not to spill a drop of blood, knowing Icouldn't resist that." She stopped again and smiled proudly. "I pride myself on never having tasted any human blood whatsoever." She licked her lips and looked at my sister. "That's my story. Rather dismal, I know. But, what can I say? I got lucky." She smiled up at Emmett and he winked back at her. I smiled to myself before turning and kissing Carlisle's cheek.

"Ooh! My turn, my turn!" Alice bounced in her seat, grinning from ear to ear. We all turned and grinned at her. "Right... Basically, I really don't remember much!" She stopped and grinned at us. We waited but she said nothing more. Georgia burst out laughing.

"Are you kidding me? That was so anti-climactic!" She giggled and Alice nodded, shrugging.

"Sadly, my memories of my human life are gone. All I know is that I woke up in a mental asylum before knowng I had to meet Jazz in a bar. We then found Calisle, Edward, Emmet and Rose." She shrugged and lent back into Edwards side, grinning. Emmett snorted and leant forward, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"My turn then, huh?" He grinned evily, his dark eyes dashing between my sister and I. I raised a brow, and pushed into Carlisle's side, worried at his action.

"Didn't you get mauled by a bear?" Georgia piped up and Emmett's face fell. He gaped at her then frowned at Rose then back to Georgia.

"You told her?! That's not fair!" He leant back and pouted. Rose just rolled her eyes and snorted. "Can't you at least act surprised when I tell you my story?" He pleaded, giving us both puppy dog eyes, wobbling his bottom lip at us. We snickered together before nodding. "Great! Right... There I was. Minding my own business in the woods one day. Then all of a sudden this hulking great Grizzly came at me, roaring and everything! Rarw!" He got up, lumbering around the room making out as the bear. "Then he see's me and lunges. Claws go right through my chest. I don't remember much but this angel carrying me back. Then I came into being this sexy- ass mother fucker." He grinned and launched himself at Rosalie, hugging her tightly. She squealed and hit his shoulder playfully before pushing him off her.

Edward shifted his weight and smiled, sitting up he rubbed the back of his neck in earnest. "Right... My go. I was born in 1901, whilst growing up all I wanted was to join the Army, fight in the World War. I didn't get the chance, I was too young. Then in 1918 my parents and I caught the Spanish Influenza, my father died early on, but my mother and I survived in a hospital. Carlisle was working at that hospital. My mother seemed to know what he was, according to Carlisle. She asked him to save me. He changed me just after she died... I stuck with him after that... I mean I went off on my own for a while. I was the first one to try human blood, I mean properly try it. Carlisle doesn't count. But I couldn't keep it up.. I couldn't be that one." He shrugged and sat back, Alice leant up and ran her fingers through his hair.

"Wow..." Georgia started, looking to the ground as if in deep thought. "You guys are old." She commented slowly, after a moment they all burst out laughing, Carlisle including.

"Well, Vampires live forever so I'm sure that you could say that. Luckily we don't seem to age, bar mentally." Carlisle replied, smiling at her gently. I bit my lip, looking around them all.

"So how do you turn into a vampire?" I asked. It fell into silence faster than I could have expected. Each member of the family looked at eachother before settling their gaze on Carlisle. He sighed and rubbed his chin gently before looking down at me.

"It takes a lot of self-control on the sire's part. I am Edwards, Rosalie's and Emmett's sire. I changed them. It is what we call 'venom' that is the key component as to how the vampire changes a human. In our bite we hold venom that paralyzes our prey, it is extremely painful but effective when used in the hunt. Normally it is just used to prevent the prey from escaping, however if the venom is left to spread throughout the humans system then, eventually, they will turn into one of us. The more venom, the quicker the process. For example, I used minimal venom for Edward as I wasn't sure of how I would react to the taste, but also I did not worry for his life as much as I did for say, Emmett. I used a lot more venom for him for a faster change." He stopped for a moment and looked at my sister and I. "However, the change is painful. The venom feels as though it burns the insides before finally the heart stops and the venom has taken over. As vampires we have inhuman strength," he looked to Emmett who flexed his muscles, "incredible speed" he looked at Jasper as he stroked Georgia's hair, "and immortality." He looked down at me finally.

"So what about us?" Georgia commented, causing everyone to look at her. She raised a brow. "What if we want to be like you? Immortality, right? We'll die eventually, but what if we want to be like you? Live forever with you?" She wrapped herself around Jasper's arm and looked up at him lovingly, he smiled wryly back at her.

"Darlin'... It's not really a choice anymore." Jasper took a breath and sighed. "Either you join us or we'll all be destroyed." My eyes widened at this, my heart skipping a beat. Carlisle rubbed my back comfortingly. "We have what we can only describe as a Royal Family. The Volturi are made up of five main family surrounded by their guard. Aro, is our King with his wife Sulpicia, then his two brothers Marcus and Caius. Caius has a wife Athenodora. Their guard is amazing, holding many different powers. For example, Jane and Alec, the twins are gifted with the powers of excruciating pain and taking away all senses." He stopped and licked his lips. "They passed a law, a law that states that no humans shall know about our existance. If they do, they will be turned or they will be destroyed." Looking away he sighed. Georgia nodded and looked at him intensley.

"Powers? You guys can do other stuff?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. Edward grinned.

"Yeah, that's an added extra for some of us. I, personally can read thoughts." He smirked, leaning forwards. "No. Georgia. I will not prove it, and please stop thinking about how sexy Jasper looked in his underwear. I don't need that mental image!" He cringed and Georgia turned a brilliant red.

"What the fuck? Edward stay out of my head!" She buried her head into a smirking Jaspers arm. I rounded on him in shock.

"You can read minds?" I asked, shocked.

"Yes. Everyone's but yours. You seem to have a block on me." He shrugged and I couldn't help but feel a little pride as I smirked up at Carlisle. He grinned back down at me before kissing my forehead.

"I can tell the future!" Alice perked up, Georgia and I spun towards her, eyes wide. "Yeah! I can tell when people are going to be and what they're going to do based on their desicions they make. I knew you two were coming before even Charlie did." She nodded, her entire body screaming pride. I nodded, slightly bemused at the prospect.

"I'm the last one with a power," Jasper spoke up and smiled at us both. "I can feel and change people's emotions. For example you're both feeling rather shocked and Georgia you're still highly embarassed. Now wait..." All of a sudden an air of calm overcame me and I couldn't help but relax back into the couch, smiling as I did. "See? Easily influenced." I wanted to be in awe, but I couldn't stop being calm.

"Alright, Jasper that's enough." Carlisle chuckled as I felt the excitement come back and the calm lift.

"That's amazing!" I exclaimed, completely in awe of everything that had been told to me.

"Now, girls. As we said before things will be difficult for you now that you know about us. We will try our best to remove all knowledge from the Votluri's path, but, as you know even if they do find out Alice will see what they decide to do before they have a chance to be here." Carlisle rubbed my shoulders gently and sat forward. "Also, in regards to what happened last night, things may be difficult for you when you go to school on Monday, but we ask that you do not tell anyone what we are." I wanted to laugh at the absurdity of his statement, but his severe tone and facial expression prevented me from doing so. I simply nodded and so did Georgia.

GPOV

Time passed and questions and answers were exchanged. We got to know the family and were informed on more of their pasts and funny stories from the time that they met. Carlisle even pulled out an old photo album and, after concealing my shock that they actually did turn out in the photos, I couldn't help but laugh at Jasper dressed in 60's hippie clothes. The afternoon was similair in the way we went about things, a nice calm time which was a relief after the night before.

During the course of the afternoon Jasper took me upstairs and we sat on his bed, talking and laughing. I leant back against his chest and he held me between his legs.

"Are you happy Georgia?" He asked quietly, resting his chin on my hair.

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?" I replied, stroking his arm that was wrapped around my waist.

"You know I can't lose you." He stated, his entire form tensing slightly at the comment. I sighed and sat up onto my knees and turned to face him, taking his face in my hands.

"You won't lose me." I bit my lip and looked him in the eyes. "Jazz, I want to be with you. Forever. I want you to change me." He eyes darkened and his hands came to grip my waist.

"You don't know what you're asking. You'll have to leave behind everything, you'll never be able to see your family again, you won't be able to have children. Everything I want you to have the chance for, you won't be able to." I snorted, shaking my head at him.

"Jasper. I don't care about that. I want to be with you, I don't care about children, I don't care about anything else. I want you. Besides, I'll have Bella..." I tilted my head and before he could respond I kissed his lips. He gripped my waist and pulled my closer, growling against my lips as he did. His tongue slid across my lower lip, seeking entrance which I happily allowed. The taste of him was exquisite, the feel of him was enticing, he was perfect.

Knock. Knock.

Pulling away sharply Jasper snarled at the door, before pulling me close and continuing to kiss my neck. I groaned.

"Jasper don't you dare growl at me, dickhead." Rosalie slammed through the door, hands on her hips, causing me to pull away from him quickly, completely embarassed. Jasper, however, pulled me back to hug me from behind.

"What do you want?" He mumbled, rubbing his hand up and down my arm soothingly.

"Charlie's here. He's not happy." She looked at me knowingly before turning on her heel and leaving quickly. I turned and looked at Jasper, wide eyed before launching myself after Rosalie, running down the hall and launching myself to the bannister in time to see Carlisle being shoved against a wall. I knew that it wouldn't have been caused by my fathers strength but due to Carlisle humouring him. Bella was holding onto Alice as she sobbed uncontrollably, begging Charlie to stop.

"I'll fucking kill you, you bastard. How dare you even think about touching my daughter let alone being with her! I'll have you arrested!" Charlie was livid, his ears were bright red as he shouted at Carlisle. Carlisle tried to reason with him but anyone could see he was fighting a losing battle.

"Charlie, please calm down so we can talk about this reasonably." I ran down the stairs and grabbed Charlie's arm.

"Dad! Calm down, please get off of him." He threw me off him easily and turned back to Carlisle.

"Talk about this reasonably? You're taking advantage of an underage girl, you sick bastard." That seemed to cause something to change in the air around us, Edward stepped forward and placed his hand on Charlie's shoulder.

"I think it would be best if we talk this through properly, Chief Swan." I looked at my dad and bit my lip, unsure how he would react. Surprisingly his shoulders relaxed and he nodded his consent. I immediatley turned to find Jasper walking down the stairs, staring at my father intently. I smirked slightly at him, he caught my eye and winked. With a sigh Carlisle led the way into the family room where we had all been siuated only hours before.

Silently we sat, Rose, Emmett, Alice and Edward sitting awkwardly on one couch, Carlisle, Bella, Jasper and I on the second and Charlie sat solitary on the third couch. I linked hands with Bella and she leant into me, shaking slightly as we waited for someone to speak.

"Now, Charlie..." Charlie's hand shot up and silenced Carlisle.

"You are the last person that I want to talk to right now, Carlisle." He turned and looked at Jasper and I. "So you two, aswell? Another Cullen wants one of my girls?" He sneered slightly, causing me to narrow my eyes.

"Shouldn't you be thankful that we're happy?" Bella interrupted. "We're old enough to be making our own choices, I'm 18 for goodness sakes! Carlisle is 30, it could be worse, Charlie." Charlie's ears began to redden as she spoke. "Dad, I love you but you have to understand that Carlisle is not doing anything that is disrespectful. He's a good man, please just listen to him and what he has to say." Charlie snorted but didn't respond, taking that as a good sign Carlisle sat up straighter and looked Charlie in the eye.

"Chief Swan, whatever the boy may have told you is probably from a biased view and a view of a slightly intoxicated, jealous teenager. I am in love with your daughter, trust me when I say I tried to prevent anything from happening because I knew it was wrong for someone of my age to love someone of Bella's age. But that's just it. I love your daughter, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, she loves me also. I have spent time with your daughter, but I promise you my intentions are noble. I will not use your daughter, for goodness sakes I have every intention on staying with your daughter as long as I can. Please, just allow us to have this?" Carlisle took Bellas hands in his own and smiled down at her lovingly, she returned the smile and I couldn't help but notice the spark that went between them both. I smiled up at Jasper and he winked at me playfully.

"What about you then?" Charlie queried, eyeing Jasper with disdain, "What're your intentions with my daughter?" Jasper turned to him and smiled slightly, Charlie returned the half smile and I hit Jasper's arm, knowing what he was doing.

"Well, Chief Swan, I love Georgia. She's annoying, stubborn, funny and a beautiful girl. We've only known eachother for a couple of months, but I feel like I've known her my whole life. She's special, different, and I love her for it. I'm only a year older than her, but I will protect her with my life." He raised a brow as he looked at me and I laughed slightly, shaking my head.

Charlie rubbed his forehead, sighing.

"I'm not happy about this." He stated, gaining a groan of annoyance from both Bella and myself. He raised a brow and we remained silent. "But I guess I can't stop you, can I?" We looked at eachother before grinning and shaking our heads to him. He sighed and shook his head. "Fine. But I'm not happy with you staying here."

"Well, you can't stop us having a sleepover with Rose and Alice." I countered, smirking. He nodded at that and smiled at the girls who both gave him award winning smiles. With another sigh he stood up and stretched out his hand to Carlisle.

"My apologies for the force." He coughed, clearly embarrased by the fact that he was apologising infront of the family. Carlisle, however stood up and took his hand tightly, shaking his hand firmly. After a moment Charlie shivvered and Carlisle released his hand, realising the temperature must have been what caused the shivver.

"Why not stay for dinner, Charlie?" Alice perked up, standing and clapping her hands.

"Oh, I don't know..." Charlie started, but anyone could see the look of hope in his eyes.

"Of course you can! We're making steak." Rosalie stated and from that we could see Charlie was sold.

BPOV

Dinner was a nice event. Everyone was laughing and joking around, Charlie allowing himself to relax and have a beer whilst Rose and Alice fed him to capacity. Food was definitley the way to Charlie's stomach, and the girls had done a fantastic job.

"So you don't mind then?" Alice asked excitedly, sliding the third steak onto Charlie's plate. He chewed thoughtfully for a moment before shaking his head.

"No, I'm sure it'll be alright." She squealed and hugged his shoulders.

"Brilliant! Bella, Georgia, you're both staying here tonight because it's movie night at the Cullen household!" She laughed and clapped her hands. "Of course you should stay too, Charlie." He chuckled and put down his cutlery on the now empty plate, shaking his head.

"Thank you very much for the invite, Alice. But I have a shift tonight that I can't be late for." He rose and shook the mens hands in turn. "Look after my girls." He warned as he reached Carlisle, who nodded in response. Charlie came to us and hugged us both together. "You have my number if you need me, I love you girls"

"I love you too dad." I grinned as I hugged him. Georgia smiled to herself as she hugged him tightly.

We waved him off as he drove home in the cruiser. Turning I watched as Alice and Rose took an armful of bowls into a side room, giggling to themselves as they went. Georgia skipped off to find Jasper and I walked back into the kitchen, finding Carlisle, alone leaning against the sideboard. Without saying anything I went to him and kissed him hard. He froze in shock for a moment before kissing me back, his hands sliding down to my waist to pull me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, closing my eyes, inhaling his scent. His teeth grazed my lower lip as his tongue stroked it, I gasped slightly at the temperature before meeting his tongue with mine. Our tongues danced, his taste was even better than his scent, my hands wrapped in his hair as I moaned into his mouth.

"Woah, that is way to much PDA, thank you." Pulling away quickly we watch as Emmett and Edward carry a few logs into the kitchen from the garden. Edward laughed at Emmett's comment and shook his head.

"Come on guys, Rose has got the fire started and the film is ready. Where's Georgia and Jasper?" We left the kitchen and I raised a brow, having no idea where they were.

"Right here." Jasper called from the top of the stairs, he was redoing his shirt, Georgia appeared beside him smoothing her hair sspiciously. I looked at her, shocked.

"How's it going?" Emmett asked, coming back from the side room and winking up at Georgia who turned bright red as they came down the stairs.

"I don't want to know." I exclaimed as I moved into the room hurriedly. A resounding laugh came from behind me as I looked about the room. Inside was a small space, filled with pillows, blankets and fairylights covered the ceilings. On the far wall an open fire was burning bright, filling the room with a warm glow.

Carlisle took my hand and led me to a small gathering of blue pillows and sat down with me, smiling he pulled a blanket over our laps. Each couple sat on a selection of pillows and cuddled up to eachother. Emmett picked up the remote and pressed play. I looked up at Carlisle and smiled contentedly, feeling like finally everything was going right.

APOV

My brothers and I sat on our thrones, listening to the complaints of the common vampires that came ot us when they weren't strong enough to deal with it themselves. I shifted my weight on my throne and with a flick of my wrist Felix was dragging the pitiful excuse for a vampire from my sight. Rolling my shoulders I stood and turned to walk from the meeting room.

"My Lord, we have news." Jane stopped me as she entered the door.

"My dear one," I replied, smiling broadly at my favourite. I took her hand in mine and saw that our spy was back with some news. "Send him in."

Jane bowed her head before leaving and bringing back the boy. He simply bowed his head and held out his hand for me, knowing procedure all too well. I clasped his hand and let his memories fill mine.

"Oh my, the Cullens are in trouble. You have done well, Michael, I believe it's time we visited my dear friend Carlisle again." I smirked as I looked into the young boys red eyes.

"I believe that would be best, sire." He smirked up at me.

Well... There you go, duckies. I love you all so much and thank you for sticking with me. I hope the plot twist isn't too much but... yeah. I'll try to write more soon but just remember I love you all sooooo much!
