a/n sorry for the long wait, but it's a weekend and I don't really have weekday time right now, with Finals…I'll try to update another time today, but I have to get at least a few hours of studying in, and it's already past 10 am here…

Irreplaceable

"Carlisle! It's so nice to see you," Aro started, "and your family, I see you have a few new members."

Aro looked old, like he was still aging, though he had long black hair that looked as human and lively as ever. He had a smoky cover over his eyes, like he hadn't moved enough, and something took him for dead, not living dead, but honest, human, dead. He had skin like tissue paper, like a humans, but very transparent.

Slightly behind him and on his side were Marcus, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else, doing anything else, than be here, and Caius, who looked at Aro with exasperation, then at us, and back to Aro.

"Yes, Aro, there is Bella, Charlie, and Maria," Carlisle said, plastering a fake smile over his face, "Is everything here going as expected? Any new members?"

"Why, yes. We have a few new editions, no one with useful powers though," Aro answered.

As he spoke, near the end, he looked at Alice and Edward, thinking Edward, it would be great if you could join us. I stiffened as he thought that, because his red eyes were more evil than any I've ever seen. They held more evil than Bethany's whole body, and even more than Tanya's eyes. My stiffening was a mistake though. He looked towards me, and smiled a kind smile, but underneath that smile were teeth so sharp they could kill.

"Ah, so you have a power as well," Aro looked at me, like I was some investment to him.

Bella, to him, you are, Edward thought to me, one of the members of the guard has the power to break most relationships, but love. Just remember who you love, and they won't be able to break you into joining him.

That won't be hard, I thought back to him, I'll just need to see you're face.

Guys, stop talking to each other and pay attention, Aro's going to ask us to join again in a second, Alice told us.

"I am wondering, would you like to join us?" Aro started.

I felt something tugging on me, trying to bond me to Aro, but I fought back. I flashed pictures of my family in my mind. Edward, Charlie, Edward, Alice, Edward, Carlisle, Edward, Emmett, Edward, Maria...Edward, Edward, and Edward. As I saw their pictures, Edwards crooked smile, Charlie's eyes when he saw Maria, Alice when she's with Jasper, Carlisle at his office, Emmett as he laughs, and Maria as she stood with us, even when we killed her old covens leader, I felt the bond weaken, and disappear.

Aro looked at a girl to his right, who just shook her head quickly. It was Aro's turn to plaster on the face smile.

"No, none of us would like to," Edward answered him.

"Well, even if that is so, you have not told us your reason for coming here, is there anything I can help you with?"

"We had a small run in with some other creatures, and need a time to relax," Carlisle started.

"And you would like rooms?" Aro finished his sentence, "that is not a problem for me, Gina, get them a few rooms, five, I take it?"

"Yes, five rooms please, and thank you," Carlisle answered him, and we left his ball room type office. We followed a nervous looking human that must have been Gina to our rooms.

Half way there, Alec walked by with someone I didn't recognize, at first.

Her hair was dyed black, the exact opposite of her pale skin, and she had a slightly familiar body shape. When she turned to look at me, it hit me. Bethany?! Bethany has joined them!?

I didn't need an answer to that, because a second later Bethany was thinking to no one in particular, Bella! That little brat! Kills Tanya, steals Maria, then has the nerve to come here!?

She got into a fighting position, and I didn't take a second to respond with an identical stance. But I don't think we're going to fight. Not yet, because he mind was still wandering.

It took me days to swim up to Madagascar, then to the rest of Africa, then I had to hide from every town I passed in the sun, and ran all the way to the Mediterranean Sea, to come here. I fall in love, and I'm happy as ever, I almost forgot about you, but then you have to show up here?! How DARE you! She thought this all in my direction. She wasn't done though, she started to growl, saying something to me.

"How dare you come and ruin my happy ending?"

a/n GASP! Yah…how do you like it? Anyway…the end of the year is coming again, and it will be a year in Febuary, so I hope that I'll be able to finish it by then. Well, I have nothing else important to say, so I'll shut up and write the next chapter! Byebye!
