The vegetarian vampires looked around the throne in awe. It was deep underground. A hidden elevator in the library led them down into this room where it could make the Volturi's throne room wilt in shame. There were three thrones. A large on in the middle that had a crown overhead and two small ones on each side. Soon the room was filled with a large mass of vampires, male and female, mates by each other, standing with their legs shoulder width apart and arms crossed. Jasper kept his eyes trained on Peter and Charlotte. The southern vampires were sitting in the large throne with contentment. Peter, of course, radiated mischief and amusement. Maria was bouncing around with one of the older male newborns she brought with her with absolute love in her eyes. Soon two small blurs ran by them and sat on the small throne on the left. Well their left. Rosalie flinched at the small male child that was smirking evilly at them. The vampire that sat on the boy's lap looked to be 11 or 12 years of age. The elevator doors dinged like a door bell and every vampire except for Peter and his mate along with the immortal children, saluted with their hands over their hearts.
Bella stepped out of the elevator, running her fingers through her long hair, whistling. She looked around the vampires and sighed in irritation.
"I told you guys a thousand times to stop doing that!" Bella barked. She ran around the veggies that were huddled in the center and thumped Peter on the head.
"Ow!" He whined with a pout. "What was that for Bells?"
"Stop telling everyone to greet me this way every time we come to the throne room!" She screeched and slapped him on the head with a thump. Then she squinted at seeing them on her comfy throne, again. Charlotte was giggling when Bella picked them both up and dumped them on the small throne. Peter started pouting again, rubbing his head while Char tried to comfort him, still laughing. Bella plopped down on the throne, crossing her legs. She stared at the 7 lone vamps and human, didn't forget the human, and cocked her head to side. She observed them with cold eyes. Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett were in their own group and they moved away from the rest like they were a disease. They were still inching away. She filed that away to figure what happen to separate the family.
"So, what brings you back to Washington, Cullen Coven?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"I am in no way part of them anymore," Rosalie huffed, looking away from Esme when she stared at her with tear filled eyes.
"And since they are not going to explain without telling the truth, I will," Rosalie continued before walking up a couple of steps. Bella sincerely always loved that about Rosalie. She can be a bitch and will tell you straight how it is. In truth, she harbored no negative feelings for her or for Jasper. But they still left without saying goodbye, there was no reason for dismissing her like that. Edward, Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, and Alice. She hated them so much but if it weren't for them, she would not have a large family like this. In a way, they helped her become like this. And she loved it!
"We visited the Volturi in a regular meeting day for all covens and nomads alike. Aro, the main king, found out about you when he demanded Carlisle to see his memories when we all refused to shake your hand. They found out about you and how we left you human so they sent us to come get you and bring you to them or they would come to us and we will all be destroyed. Well that was the short story." Rosalie stepped back with a scowl, but it was not directed at anyone but herself and the Cullens. Bella leaned on the arm of her throne and threw her right leg over the other as she got herself comfortable, swinging her left leg contentedly. She listened to the story and frankly, she didn't care for the Volturi. They abuse their power.
She really did not care if they came here even. They come and touch her family in any way or anyone in Washington, they get destroyed. Simple as that. Their loss, her gain. Yep. She just didn't give a damn. Hers was way past busted it is beyond her reach or anyone's reach to fix. Bella sniffed and used her right pinkie to dig around in her ear with an opened mouth frown, eyebrows scrunched in the middle, and eyes slightly squinting.
"Eh, let em' come." She said in a bored voice, lifting up her left forearm slightly from the throne's arm waving it in somewhat dismissal.
Seven yellow eyes and light blue ones looked at her in shock.
"Bella, honey, the Volturi will kill us all if we do not report back to them," Carlisle spoke to her as if she was a child.
"Isabella," Bella corrected sharply. "They can try," She took her pinkie out of her ear to look at the none existent ear wax. "I guarantee you that they would not succeed, no matter what they do. Like I said. Let them come. If their that suicidal, it's not my problem." She shrugged and jumped off the throne walking towards the veggies and human with her hand in her pocket. Her red eyes sparkled at the thought of a challenge. "The way I see it, the Volturi need to be taken down a notch. The abuse their power too much." She looked up at them with a smirk, a fang poking out of her lips. "And I will gladly grant that for them."
"You don't seriously consider fighting them, Bella." Carlisle asked.
"Of course I do. They are coming on my territory. This place that I built with my bare hands so that vampires, werewolves, and humans can live in peace. Envy is counted in that. If anybody came to Washington with the intent of harming anyone in this state, I would not hesitate in slaughtering them. I want my people to live in peace." Bella explained. She was annoyed that they felt the need to use her nickname. They do not have the right to use that name anymore. But she will let that slide just this once.
Everyone, even if they are in two different groups, winced at that their small, sweet little Bella was talking about murder so casually. Alyssa, especially, was green in the face. Jasper felt his own lust rising at Bella's declaration. What annoyed him the most was that Edward was radiating possessiveness, lust, and anger.
"Isabella! You will not fight the Volturi at all. Now come with me. I've had enough of your disrespect. And you need to change what you are wearing. It's highly inappro- ," Edward was interrupted by his own self. He was rising in the air, choking. Rosalie paled and everyone looked to see Jamie crouched in front of Bella, hissing and growling, looking straight at Edward with hateful eyes. Alyssa started shrieking, trying to get Edward's leg by jumping but he rose up even more, venom pouring around his body. Skin turning ashy grey. Vampires around were crouched low, snarling. Carlisle ran at Jamie, only to be held to the ground by a burly vampire that was stronger than Emmett. Alice was screeching with Esme and Alice, demanding they let them go. Bella calmly turned around and waved Kaytlyn over, who zipped to her mate, trying to calm him down. Jasper was staring at Jamie with calculating eyes. He's never heard of the gift that this child harbored. It was new to him. The Major was rattling in his cage about how dangerous he his and not to underestimate him. Though they were immortal children, they were intelligent and wise. They were taught what other immortal children could not be taught.
With Bella's help, Kat and her were able to calm Jamie down. His red eyes had gone black. Edward fell to the ground with a thump and sagged as Jamie stopped using his gift on him. He was now clutching on Bella's leg with one arm and his other one was wrapped around his tiny mate. Both of those girls were important to him. Jamie kept his eyes on Edward as he buried his face in Kat's neck. The burly vampire on Carlisle, hissed at him in warning, shoving his face on the floor before jumping off and running back to his earlier spot. Carlisle darted to Edward with Alice and Esme on his heels. Alyssa was sobbing in her hands sitting on her knees in front of Edward.
Bella cocked her head at the other three, who stared back at her. Emotions flashed in her eyes before they became blank. Bella opened her mouth to ask a question when the elevator dinged. She watched at 13 wolves ran towards her. Then the next 10 wolves. Finally the last two wolves and Damon and Envy. She can never figure out how they all fit in their and she did not want to know. Damon and Envy were on her shoulders again in crow form, cawing at each other. The wolves were on their knees with puppy faces that only they can pull off. You know, huge cute pout with wide eyes.
"Bells, can you cook lunch for us please," They all said together in perfect sync.
"Did you practice to say that together so you can butter me up more?" Bella asked raising her eyebrows.
"Hell yeah." They said together again.
She shook her head with a chuckle. "All right, all right. Go in the living room and watch TV. I'll be upstairs in a minute." She smiled warmly at them. Jasper felt like he melted at that smile. She looked like an angel. The Major was rattling more aggressively in his cage.
Mate. My mate. Claim her now!
Who? Jasper asked in his mind
The bride of Frankenstein. The Major hissed without humor. Isabella! Our mate! Claim her!
Jasper did not question him. He knew he felt some type of pull to Bella as soon as he smelt her in that cafeteria. She smelled divine. And she was pure. Then Edward got to her and he kept his distance for himself even more when Alice, his ex-wife, insisted he doesn't get to be near Bella without stirring his blood lust. The thing was he never felt none but he foolishly followed her. The thing that was stopping him now, was that Bella said she had another. She was taken by another male that is not him. A low growl built up in his chest but he swallowed it back down. He would get Isabella this time and will kill anyone that was in his way. He would finally claim her.
The wolves ran to the elevator, taking turns to go up to the library, before the group disappear. Bella put her hands on her hips and stared straight forward.
"Well I'm bored. So I'm going to go cook for the wolves. You guys can escort the veggies out."
Esme stood up swiftly. "Let me help you," She demanded.
Bella narrowed her eyes at her. "Why don't you go back to the hotel you're staying at and help your golden boy, and I'll stay with my family and cook for them, Mrs. Cullen," She snapped at her. "And that's Isabella to you."
"Bel-" Bella finally had enough and held out her hand towards the seven, using her physical shield to butch them together. She glared at the Cullens with now completely white eyes.
"Since you do not know when to keep your trap shut, I guess I'll just have to do it myself. Mike!" She shouted. The veggies watched as a familiar blonde ran and stood next to Bella. It was Mike Newton. Jasper watched him with narrowed eyes as he put one hand on her shoulder. Then everything was disoriented and blurred before they landed in their hotel room. Bella dropped them from her shield and without a goodbye grabbed Mike's hand and they both were gone in the next second. As soon as Jasper was free from his mate's hold, he went to snatch her up from Mike but they were already gone, getting a low deadly snarl to rumble from his throat.
Bella and Mike landed in the kitchen with a content smile. Mike left and Bella took a small peek in the dining room to see the wolves with knives and forks in their hand, practically drooling. She shook her and got to work. With as big with stove is that had about 8 burners, she got the meals done quickly. That and her vampire speed of course. She brought in piles and piles of food and set them on the table, keeping her smile hidden as she spotted the wolves trying to keep themselves in check because they know the rules. As soon as she put the last large plate of food, they dugged in. She would never get use to the way they eat at all but it was tolerable as long as they cleaned up after themselves. They were grown and they should act responsibly. She ran upstairs to her room and pushed on the double doors. In her bed was Envy, who flew off her shoulder with Damon before she forcefully got the Cullens out of her house. He looked goofy sleeping the way he was. He loved taking naps. He was upside down with one leg tangled in the sheets and one dangling over the edge. Arms spread in different directions and he was drooling. Giggling, she took out her camera and took a picture, leaving the flash out because she knew it would wake him up. Putting the camera down on the dresser, she stopped at the foot of the bed and used her shield.
A light blue bubble slid under Envy and lifted him in the air. He was floating basically. She turned him around and pulled the sheets down to where she was. Using her other hand, she fixed the pillows and turned Envy around the correct way and gently put him down and tucked him in. She smiled down at him as she brushed a few strands of green hair from his face since he took his headband off. Thinking about the horrible state he was in when she first found him made her angry. If she could, she would bring those people back to life, just to end it again. They deserved it. Especially that whore, Dante! Using her own son as a fucking sex toy. She had her morals and incest was not one of them. Giving him a light peck on his forehead, she glided towards the bathroom and stripped off her clothes. With the shower ready and hot water pouring out, she hopped in and sighed as all the stress she carried all day went down the drain. Her mind traveled back to the sleep Homunculus in her bed and worry was her first thing to feel. Though others did not know since her room was sound proof, Envy had horrible nightmares. That was the reason for him sleeping at random times a day. In a way he was just like her when she was human, and she got through it once she was turned. Now it was her turn to help him. He did not deserve the life he got and she will be damned if something like that were to happen again. The second reason was that, Envy did not want to be alone. He may be friends and family with the others but no one, but her, can truly understand. He slept next her like a baby. Every morning, she would open her eyes to see Envy curled around her. Though vampires do not sleep, they stay in bed and meditate, calming their minds to a peace filled state to make it seem like they were actually sleeping. It helped.
A sharp cry startled her out of her thoughts and she jumped out of her shower, shutting it off. She wrapped herself in a towel, not caring if she was trailing water as she ran into the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed shaking Envy, who was crying and shaking. After a few more shakes, he woke up with a scared expression, before calming down after looking in Bella's dark eyes. You could see crimson but it was more onyx. She pulled him into a hug and let him nuzzle her chest as his silent tears ran down his face. Letting her motherly instincts come out, a purr resonated in her chest, nuzzling his hair and rubbing his back. After a few minutes, Envy finally settled and his eyes drooped. Then he was asleep. Bella stayed with him, not caring that she was soaking the bed. She laid back against the headboard and watched the clouds though the window. The sun's rays were timidly peeking though them. But on her mind was today's events and she will not let the Cullens rule her life. No. Not now. Not ever. The past is the past and now this is the present. The future is still a mixed puzzle.
