Chapter 7:

Bella's POV

I quickly realized that fellow humans were mainly annoying. The only ones I could actually care about was the Cullen family. Well, the ones I had met. And not because I was shallow, but somehow I fit better with them. I simply could not explain it, but they all felt like family to me. Em and Jazz were like brothers. Alice and Rose like sisters. Then we had Edward, where to place him? He was certainly not a father, brother or even uncle. I simply did not know how to place him. Did I experience my first crush?

Then it was the part that they were different. The only thing human about them was their eyes, nevertheless it did not make me stay away as I bonded with them, especially Rose. She did not try to drag me off to shopping at every chance like Alice tried to. Even Edward had started to talk to me. Even if it usually consisted of, hello, how are you? I would answer that I was fine then be polite and ask him back, he would say he was fine and then get lost in his own thoughts again.

The change started about a month after I had returned to Forks. I sat by the Cullen table at lunch and Edward was the only one that showed up.

"Where's your siblings?" I asked.

"Rose and Alice is in Seattle for an extended shopping trip. Jasper is sick and Emmett is looking for a part-time job," Edward answered as he sat down.

I had a feeling a lied, but I did not call him out of it. Instead I simply raised a brow and continued eating my food. After a minute he stole a strawberry and popped it into his mouth.

"Hey! That was mine," I complained and pouted.

He chuckled in response. "Do you want it back?" he then asked.

"N-no way!" I stuttered.

He shrugged in response and then snuck another strawberry away from me. I glared at him.

"No fair. You're so fast that I barely have time to react," I complain while crossing my arms.

"You're just the one being slow."

"Pfft, yeah right."

His enchanting green eyes met mine and my heart started beating faster. His crooked smile wanted me to pull closer, and I really had to work to resist the temptation.

"I need to tell you something," he then admitted.

"Oh, really?" I asked and tried to lean back a bit more on my chair.

"After school," he then added as the bell rang.

So here I stood waiting for him by my car. He did not disappoint. He motioned for me to follow him and we ended up behind the school where no students or teachers could see/hear us.

"So?" I pressed.

"This is not going to be easy," I heard him mutter.

"Please do go on." I rolled my eyes.

"Bella, my family and I…we're vampires."

I blinked. Huh? Vampires, really? I snorted.

"Yeah right. And I'm a fairy."

This time it was his time to roll his eyes and then suddenly he was gone. Just to appear behind me and breathe down my neck. Startled I jumped and turned, but he was gone again. He appeared in front of me.

"I am much faster than you. Stronger than you," he said.

"Wait, prove that," I said, a bit in shock.

He walked over to quite the solid tree, looked around and then pulled it up by its roots. Then placing it back so it could fall over by itself. I gaped.

"I can read minds, but not yours. My sight is better than any humans, my hearing is better, sense of smell. I drink blood-"

I cut him off. "But I have seen you eat human food."

"When our bloodlust was removed it made it possible to feed on human food as well, but only your favorite foods. The Queen made it so," he explained, coming closer.

Why am I not running? Don't ask me, probably still in shock.

"Queen?" I wondered.

"Bella, our Queen died to protect us. But she was reborn. She's human," he stated.

"Does she go to this school?" I wondered.

The frustration on his face was not to miss. "You're really acting blonde to be so smart as you are," he accused.

"Well, I might still be in shock. I mean, you are a vampire. I just witnessed super speed and strength."

"You're still not running," he pointed out.

"Why would I run?" 'Cause I kinda like you, but that's a secret.

"Bella, you're the Queen. Queen of the Volturi to be precise."

"Eh?"

"You died, but you came back. You have a daughter and a family that loves you," he said, voice turning softer with each word.

"I. Have. A. Daughter?" I asked slowly.

"Her name is Renesmee."

Renesmee. Yes, that name seemed to ring a bell somewhere in my head.

"Aro Volturi is your biologically father from before and Sulpicia your mother. You were Queen before they were changed. You had a lot of powers, and you did a lot of amazing things that Carlisle told me about."

Aro, Marcus and Caius, I thought. I shook my head. Where had that come from?

"My biggest mistake though was how I acted towards you before you died," he said quietly. Standing right in front of me. Our eyes glued to each other. "You told me we were mates, and you had waited a long time for me, but still you never really told me before you were about to die. It pained me, because I love you."

He closed the distance between us and our lips met and as he held around me it was like a closed part of my head opened and the memories rushed back to me.

I remembered. I remembered everything. And not thinking I pushed against Edward to deepen the kiss. I felt tears trail down my cheeks. Never had I felt so happy to realize who I was (and am).

He pulled apart so I could breathe and I did. I took a deep shaky breath.

"I remember," I said, almost choking with all the emotion that welled up inside me.

"I'm glad," he whispered and hugged me. His strong arms giving me comfort.

I do not know how long we stood there, but eventually Edward reminded me that I had to get home to Charlie.

Charlie.

How could I leave him? After all, he and Renee were the ones that made sure I had been fed and had clothing (even though my time with Renee I was the one that cooked and paid the bills, bought what we needed…) and a roof over my head.

I cooked him dinner and through his eyes I could see that he saw the change within me as well.

"Bella," he started as I picked up the dishes.

"Yes?"

"Something is going on, am I right?"

I froze.

"I'm not blind. You have always been special. Meant for great things, just not this life, am I right?"

"H-how?" I stuttered.

"I always had the feeling. I knew that someday you would leave. But I rather say goodbye so you know. I will always love you." His voice was gruff and I looked down.

"Would you believe me if I said I was a Queen?"

"Queen?" he asked.

"Queen of vampires, to be exact."

"Why not?" He sat down on the chair again and I smiled apologetically.

"I just got my memories back of my previous life. I died, but my soul found a soulless body. Which is how I was reborn. But right now I am very much human. There is barely any vampires left. My previous family…" I bit my lip. "…and the Cullen family."

His eyes widened. "The Cullen family are vampires? All of them?" I nodded.

"We drink…er…they drink animal blood as well as eating human food, both works," I explained and shrugged.

"This is a lot of information in such a short amount of time," Charlie grumbled.

"I am sorry Charlie. I do not wish to pain you, neither Renee. However, I do have a child and a mate that needs me. When the time is right I will have to leave," I said softly.

"Y-you have a child?"

"Hm-yes. She should be looking about thirteen now. Her name is Renesmee." A smile graced my lips as I thought about her. Wondering how she would be now.

"M-may I see her?"

My head tilted to the side. "You really want to?" I asked.

"Your soul might be older than mine-"

"Far over three thousand years."

"-but I still had a part in raising you this time around, and I still see you as my child. Which means I am also a grandfather now."

I giggled a bit at his expression. Thank you, Charlie. You are making this easier for the both of us.

The doorbell rang and curious I made my way to open.

"Edward?" I asked, a bit surprised.

"Alice said it was best I came over, I brought Renesmee," he said and stepped a bit to the side. "Now remember to be careful with her," Edward then mumbled.

Renesmee came into view and she hurriedly hugged me. "Mama!" she squealed and my eyes started to water.

"Hello my star," I said and let go. "Thank you," I then added, meeting Edward's eyes.

"I could not keep her away from you anymore."

Renesmee nodded in agreement.

Clearing his throat he made his presence known and I turned to my father, er…Charlie. Was going to have to get used to having my memories.

"Hello, Chief Swan," Edward said.

"Edward."

I looked between them.

"Uhm…Charlie, this is Renesmee," I said and gave her a little push towards him.

His gaze travelled from Edward to her and then to me, to her, to me, to Edward, to her and then stayed there. "She sure looks like the both of you," he commented.

I nodded in agreement.

"Did you…?"

I started to laugh. "No, she was created by a vampire a long long time ago. I found her."

"Oh." A blush formed on his cheeks and I grinned. I wasn't the only one.

Renesmee stepped forward and greeted Charlie politely, his heart practically melted on sight. Within seconds, she had him wrapped around her fingers. She was hard not to love.

"You may come in as well, Edward," I said and gestured for him to come inside.

"Thank you," he muttered and watched Charlie and Renesmee interact with curious eyes. "Why did you tell him?"

"About vampires? I'm the Queen, I can decide that." I stuck my tongue out. He shook his head and rolled his eyes. "I just thought it best," I then added with a sigh.

His fingers intertwined with mine and I smiled softly.

However, to keep up appearances Edward could not stay long. He took Renesmee with him with a promise that he would visit again with her, much to Charlie's satisfaction.

As I laid in bed, I was wondering and I let my thoughts wander. How would I be able to turn? Who could actually bite me with success so I would become a vampire again? It would be nice to know. Nice to not go through unnecessary pain with fail.

The most logical choice would be Edward, unless Carlisle stored some of my venom before I died.

Note to myself: Ask Carlisle about it.

Then as I drifted off to sleep I heard the window open. Arms sneaked around me and the familiar embrace made me feel safe as I fell. Waiting for morning to catch up so I would be awake again.

Only dreams could make the difference until then and I did dream.

Where am I? I wondered as I kept walking around, blinded. Everything was white except me. Sure my skin was pale, but I was the one with colors. I kept on walking but I froze when I saw them.

Janice, Beauty and Alana. They were smirking and I certainly did not like it.

"Did you think you were the only one to be reborn?" Alana sneered.

"I could always hope," I muttered.

"We're coming for you," Janice threatened.

"Blood is beautiful. Your death will mean true beauty."

Of all the things…what Beauty said was the most disgusting. However, I had not much time to dwell as I felt myself being pulled back to the land of the living again.

I took a deep breath when opening my eyes and they met with worried emerald green.

Hope you liked it :)
