Chapter 9:

3rd person POV

The wedding had been absolutely beautiful, that was what Bella was thinking about when she sat on the plane together with her husband.

By the end of summer, the Cullens had decided to move to England. So they did, but neither of the Cullens nor Bella enrolled into school. They all knew what awaited. Bella would be changed soon or at least they would try to change her. Correction, Edward would try to change her. After the wedding.

Aro had gotten word about Bella and was a bit disappointed that she did not want to move home. Instead, she decided that they could visit her family in Volterra as a part of Edward and hers honeymoon.

"Welcome home, daughter," Sulpicia said as she greeted Bella and Edward. Making sure to hug her carefully since she was after all, human.

"Hello, mother," Bella said with a small smile.

"This is Edward. My, he is handsome," Didyme said from beside Sulpicia and winked towards Bella. Which ended with blushing.

"You did pick well for a mate," Athenodora said a bit thoughtful.

Bella grimaced. Way to embarrass me.

"It is lovely to meet you," Edward responded and bowed gracefully.

Smiles were the reply.

"Polite too," Didyme whispered to Sulpicia who nodded in return.

"Your father is waiting in the throne room," Sulpicia said as Bella dragged Edward after her.

"Annoying family, really," Bella muttered so low only Edward could hear. He only chuckled and shook his head in response.

Aro, Caius and Marcus were sitting on their thrones as Bella opened the door. It was strange to not see the usual guard around. It seemed like the only ones staying had been Jane, Alec, Felix and Heidi. They were wearing cloaks, but Bella as well as Edward knew very well that they were human.

"Bella, dear!" Aro said excitedly and walked down the steps to meet his daughter. Careful not to crush her.

"Hello, father," she responded. Keeping the strain out of her voice. She very well knew that her father could easily degrade her from Queen now that she was human.

She would not mind, not being Queen, it would make her life easier. Nevertheless, if she was going to retire, it had to be by her own choice. She still felt responsibility for her people.

"Bella," Marcus said with a smile, however he did not arise from his throne.

Caius kept looking another way, bored as usual and just gave the couple a nod.

"Marcus, Caius," Bella said and smiled. "This is my husband, Edward Cullen," she introduced.

Aro held out his hand to take Edward's left one that was the closest, but Bella hurried in front of her mate and glared at her father.

"No way! You are not going inside his mind. He is my husband. Back off."

Caius raised a brow. "She sure knows how to bite off, even as a human," he said and chuckled.

Marcus tilted his head. "Their bond is the strongest I have ever seen. It should work."

"What do you mean, brother?" Aro asked, turning. His daughter and husband already forgotten.

"If he tries to change her, I do believe it shall work," Marcus responded.

"Is that so?" Aro wondered.

"Still in the room," Bella said and rolled her eyes. "For your information, we will now return to my tower. I will see you in three days…hopefully." The last part was whispered, but neither she nor Edward knew what a bite would mean now or the outcome.

Honeymoon spent in pain, great, she thought and held Edward's hand firmly as they walked through the castle corridors.

"You have your own tower," Edward stated, humor reflecting in his eyes and tone of voice.

"It allowed me privacy. Somewhat."

"More than for the others, I'm sure."

"Oh, definitely. Neither did they barge in into my room unless it was important. Really important. No one wanted to piss me off." She smirked.

"I can imagine."

Light laughter filled the castle and soon they came to a stop.

Bella breathed in. "Well, here it is," she said and opened her door.

"Smells like no one ever dusted in here since you left," Edward pointed out as he made his way to the stairs.

"Probably," Bella muttered and followed. "Top floor," she then added as they started to walk.

What Bella noticed when she came into her bedroom was that her sheets had been changed since she left, so had her curtains, but from that everything seemed in place. As far as she could see anyway.

She jumped into her bed and felt the familiarity of it all and was soon joined by her husband.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked.

"More than anything. I might not get crazy powers like I had before, but I will be able to use my shield without hurting my brain." At the last part she almost started to laugh, even if it was not funny to her husband. "Bite me," she teased.

He stared at her for what felt like ages. Then ever so slowly he closed the distance between them and met her lips. The kiss was short and soft, but then he moved to her neck.

This is probably going to hurt, Bella thought as she felt his lips part.

When his teeth went through her skin she did not feel the pain at once, strangely enough it felt arousing and she pulled her mate close. Wanting to have as much contact with him as possible. Then the burning came.

She did not scream as she felt the flames spread through her. Her hands lost their grip around her husband and she felt herself falling. Falling back into the pits of darkness.

Edward laid his wife softly down on top of the blankets. She had lost her grip and for a moment he thought something was wrong, but he could smell it. The venom was being pumped around in her veins. What had shocked him the most was the scent that he had smelt at once when his teeth went through her skin. The sweet scent almost setting him into a frenzy. He had wanted her so bad, but he managed to control himself.

He had no idea how his mate could do it. There was not a sign of pain on her face. She was completely still as the venom worked its magic. No screams. The only thing making a sound was her heart that was beating wildly against her chest.

He laid down beside her and held around her, he would just have to wait. And he would wait no matter how long it would take.

The heart had stopped and Edward sat a bit away from his mate. He had no idea of how she would respond as a newborn all over again. Both their breathing was calm, and she looked exactly like she had as a vampire before. She blinked and his eyes widened when he saw her brown eyes.

"Hmm…" she said. Her voice was back! Finally, she thought.

"Bella?" Edward asked carefully.

"Yes Edward?" she immediately responded.

"H-how do you feel?"

"Like myself," she answered with a wide smile. "I can feel my shield again. And ever so faint I can feel the physical one as well, but that is something I have to practice on."

"And your thirst?"

"No burning. How's my eyes?"

"Brown."

"Chosen one," she muttered.

"What?"

"The first time I was changed I was the same when waking up, just with hell of a lot of powers. I still have my shields, but from that I'm as I should be."

Edward breathed out.

"What? Afraid I would be all newborn crazed?" she teased.

"Maybe," he muttered and swallowed.

She crawled on the sheets towards him. "You owe me my honeymoon," she then teased.

Days had passed and it was time for Bella and Edward to leave again. To be honest, Bella was not sure if her father was happy with her or not. When he saw her as a vampire his face had fallen a bit, and her eyes had narrowed. Marcus had noticed and simply shook his head.

Marcus hugged her at the airport, he and Didyme the only ones to follow them all the way.

"Your father has gotten power to his head, but there are not many vampires anymore. The Volturi and the Cullens. The guards that are left are still human. There will be no others, am I right?"

"No there won't, uncle Marcus. Unless Renesmee finds her mate of course. Then I will change her mate, if that is wished," she said.

"Have a safe trip back, and be careful," Didyme said and gave her yet another hug.

"Yes, because we did not get that the first hundred times you said so," Bella mused.

"It was great to meet you," Edward said. Then they were off.

Coming home had never felt better. A loving family – crazy family as well – and their wonderful daughter greeted them.

They easily settled into their new home. It was a time to feel safe.

It happened when they were all hunting together deep into the forest. They had all just met up when the thunder roared above them. Lightning hit the ground several places at once and Renesmee was fast to jump into her father's arms, even if she was older it did not mean she could not get scared.

"This is no normal thunder," Bella muttered as the rain started to pour.

"What do you mean?" Jasper asked, feeling her emotions well.

"This is the work of the sisters. When we think we are safe, they come crashing down," Bella muttered angrily.

"My my, how right you are," Alana said as she emerged from behind a large tree.

Emmett moved to stand in front of Rosalie, Jasper did the same with Alice, Carlisle with Esme and Edward with Bella.

Renesmee ran to Rosalie and jumped into her arms. Will mama be ok? she asked.

Rosalie simply nodded. "She's strong," she then whispered.

Papa? she wondered.

"Of course," Rosalie whispered, only for Renesmee's ears.

Esme looked over to Edward and Bella with worried eyes. They were the ones standing closest to the sisters.

Janice stepped out, a huge fire ball in each of her palms, ready to be thrown. "How I do love power," she said, eyes gleaming.

Beauty jumped down from a branch above Alana and the roots from underground started to arise. "Beautiful," she whispered.

"So there are some vampires left." Alana tilted her head.

"We died, trying to prevent any more creatures to roam the earth," Janice hissed.

"You will die," Beauty sang.

"I warn you, you cannot hurt us," Bella said, her eyes hard. Her shield was already around her family, protecting them. However, her physical shield was still a problem. She had gotten to Edward, but she was still struggling with expanding.

"Let's see about that," Janice laughed and threw the first ball of fire towards Edward.

It hit, and fell right down on the ground. Janice's eyes widened.

"Take my hand," Alana hissed to her sister. Janice did as told.

Bella felt the shield wrap around Alice and Jasper. It was certainly not easy.

Beauty sent the roots right towards Alice at first, but with the help of her visions, she easily dodged. They continued towards Jasper. However, they came to a stop right in front of his legs, like hitting glass. They could not even move around him.

Bella found Esme and Carlisle just in time as lightning struck their way. Not a scratch.

"What is this?!" Alana screeched and took Beauty's left hand with force.

"Hey!" she complained, but just for a moment.

Edward frowned. Their powers would double with each link.

"We need to destroy the link!" he yelled.

Gaining a nod from Emmett. He charged with Jasper. Bella focused and wrapped the shield around him, but it left Rose and Nessie defenseless.

The sisters flew and hit a tree each, the link broken. The storm above disappeared and the roots retreated.

"Nice," Emmett said with a grin.

"You left them unprotected," Alana chuckled as she slowly repaired her own damages done to her body.

The Cullens could only stare in shock as her body fixed itself.

Bella realized that she was targeting Rose and Renesmee, however her head was hurting like hell. Nevertheless, she pushed, falling to her knees.

"Bella!" Edward yelled, trying to hold her.

"You." She gasped. "Need to." Another gasp. "Kill them…now!"

Beauty and Janice had linked hands again, and they were combining their powers to one big attack. As the beam – a mix of red, gray and green – came their way, Bella's shield wrapped around Rosalie and Renesmee.

Rosalie turned by instinct with the child in her arms, the back against them beam. It came so fast that even with vampire speed they would not get away.

Edward was holding around Bella as she was clearly struggling.

Carlisle held around Esme. Both scared for themselves and their family.

Jasper was snarling while standing in front of Alice, however she did not move, she had seen what would happen now.

Emmett was out of range and stared in shock as the beam covered his family. In a frantic rage, while the three sisters were distracted he charged. Ripping their heads off before they even could notice.

The light disappeared and he turned.

They still stood, however, Bella was almost completely out of it.

Relieved Emmett ran to his mate, Renesmee jumped out of Rosalie's arms just in time before the impact hit.

"Bella," Edward whispered.

"You guys are slow," she complained. Voice strained, but she was fine.

"Don't scare me like that! I thought you were dying again!" he scolded.

Renesmee jumped right towards them and hugged her parents tight. Her sobs wracked her body as she felt so relieved. She could have lost everyone, but she hadn't.

"Let's go home," Carlisle said, watching three bodies burn.

"I just need some rest, then I'll be fine," Bella muttered.

"Of course, love," Edward replied and kissed her softly.

"You knew, didn't you?" Jasper asked his wife.

"Mhmm," she chirped.

"And you couldn't have told us beforehand?" he complained.

"Well, it was no time. And when they were here it was kind of too late."

"No way! You knew?" Emmett asked wide-eyed.

Rosalie rolled her eyes.

"Nothing bad is going to happen anymore, right?" Renesmee asked.

"No, I think we should be fine for rest of eternity," Bella said softly.

Hope you liked it :)
