Always and Forever

Chp. 3

Warm Welcome

"So Bella, how do you like your new life?" Edward asked me.

"It's working out perfectly!" I replied enthusiastically tripping on a rock as I spoke. Everyone burst out laughing.

I sighed. "You may be a vampire but your still Bella." Edward told me through his laughs.

I swear if they could have they would have been crying.

"Ha ha. Jokes over."

"No it's really not." Emmett choked out.

This brought a whole new wave of laughter. Suddenly Alice's eyes got huge. She gasped and Edward looked infuriated at what she'd seen.

"What? What is it? The Volturi?"

"No worse. Much worse." He growled.

"Bella, Jake is coming for you vampire or not." Alice told me sadly.

I gasped. Why oh why did I always attract trouble?

"When's he coming?" I asked nervously.

"Three days." Edward told me.

"What do we do?"

"We fight or we run."

"I say we fight. Other wise it'll just follow us so let's do it sooner rather than later." Jasper suggested.

"Plus Bella's a newborn!" Emmett perked up, "I bet she could crush him!"

I had to smile even in this grim situation. Good ol' Emmett.

"So we're agreed we stay and see what he wants?"

Everyone nodded.

"Well Bella we still haven't figured out your power if you have one." Carlisle said.

"Your right." Said Edward, "What was your strongest human trait?"

"Clumsiness?" Suggested Emmett.

"A desire to not always be the one who needed saving." Jasper said plainly.

"What would that give me? Super protection powers?" I asked feeling unsure. What if I didn't have a power?

"Bella you don't need to be nervous." Jasper told me.

I guess I could never fake emotions around him.

"Bella we've all got a power even if it's not like seeing the future or controlling emotions. Emmett's overly strong, Rosalie is extremely beautiful, even for a vampire, if she hunted humans she'd have it easy. Carlisle is amazing with medicine, and Esme is the most caring and excepting person you'll ever meet." Edward assured me, "You'll have some power trust me."

"So what do you think I'll be able to do? Send enemies hurling into space?" I asked trying to lighten the mood.

"With you I suppose anything is possible." I rolled my eyes at Edward's comment.

3 DAYS LATER

Alice said Jake would come around 4 o'clock so when 3:50 came we all went into full alert mode. Alice paced nervously as Jasper tried unsuccessfully to calm her. I was surprised he wasn't dying from all the anxiety in the house. Edward wouldn't let me leave his side as he scanned constantly for Jake's mind.

At 4:07 he stopped dead in his tracks.

"what is it Edward? Where is he?"

"He's coming down the drive way." He said in a regular voice but everyone heard and was down by the door with us in an instant.

A few moments later the door burst down and there stood Jacob Black.

"Oh god, look what they've done to you Bella! You're a filthy bloodsucking leech! You'll pay for this Cullen. YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO HER!"

"Well hello to you to Jacob."

"You'll pay! You broke the treaty! No rules now! This is WAR!"

With that he morphed and raced toward my family but ricochet off… well nothing. He tried again but only to the same affect. It was as if there was an invisible wall between him and my family.

I looked closer and saw it had a faint purple hue. I looked down and saw it was coming from my hands!

Suddenly Jake lifted into the air by some invisible force. I released the shield and moved my hand to the right and Jake followed it. I moved my hand foreword violently but not before forming a shield bubble around him so he just kept bouncing off the inside of bubble.

I turned around grinning to my astonished family.

"How.. how did you…?" Edward stammered.

"No clue." I replied.

I stopped Jake from bouncing around the bubble and he morphed back to human form.

"What do you want?" I demanded.

"How could you choose this life, them, over me?" he asked still looking dazed.

"Easy. They aren't love thirsty jerks." (A/N In this Bella never lover Jake because he SUCKS. Any Jacob fans reading this, deal with the plain and honest truth.)

"They're leeches."

"And so am I so if your business here is done please leave and do not return for your smell burns our noses." I said pointedly gesturing toward the door.

"I'll be back."

"I'll count the days." I said my voice dripping with sarcasm as I dropped him from the air removing the shield around him and causing another one to slowly push him out the door.

Once he was gone I sighed.

"Well now that that's over with what do we do?"

"We leave." Carlisle said, "Charlie already thinks you're college so you can't hang out here for long. How does northern Alaska sound?"

"Just fine." Edward said.

"We'll go pack." Everyone else said. Walking at a human pace up the stairs.

"Alice," Edward called, "when will he return?"

"10 days. He'll bring the full pack." She called back.

"Oh yeah, Carlisle what do you think Bella's powers are? Does she have more?"

"I think Bella, you can gain and loose powers to protect, but you can also gain them at your will. Lift that couch over there." I moved my hand and the couch followed. "See no one was in danger but you called upon that power and it came."

"So your saying is I pretty much have every power I want?" I asked skeptically.

"Yes I believe so. Now you two better go pack . I'll arrange where we'll stay."

Hope you like it! I opened a poll on who is a better Alice Cullen so vote based on the pictures I picked!
