Chapter 14- Realization

The night stretched into an early dawn. Oranges and light reds filled the sky and I let out a long sigh. I was still leaning against Edward's chest. I didn't want to move. I just wanted to sit here, in the peace and calm. But eventually, Edward coaxed me from the damp grass and led me into the room we were staying in. It was nice. There was a futon in the far right corner, black of course. The full East wall was covered a huge bookshelf. Half were cd's, half were books. I smiled and wound my arm around Edward's waist. He kissed the top of my head and then he laid down on the couch. I grinned and laid on top of him, kissing his neck. He put his hand on my back and let out a small sound. I smirked and tracked my lips up to his. " I love how easy it is to dazzle you," I said on his lips. He chuckled and pulled back slightly.

" Yes, it does seem like the tables have turned doesn't it?" He replied, his eyes shining. I frowned slightly and sat up so I was straddling him. I moved my hands onto his chest and rubbed it slightly.

" What do you mean?" I asked him. He didn't move, he just stared at me. His eyes were slightly darker and he licked his lips slowly.

" I used to dazzle you, now it's the other way around." He responded, his voice a little lower. I rolled my eyes and laid back down on top of him. His breathing had slowed a little.

" You still do. Believe me." I muttered and kissed his neck. I bit down gently and he let out a tiny gasp. I chuckled and did it again. Suddenly my back was to the couch and he was above me, his lips pressed down on mine with desire and need. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him even closer to me. His lips trailed down my neck, onto my collarbone, when someone knocked on the door. I groaned and put my forehead to his.

He laughed and kissed me once more before getting up. I grumbled while straightening myself out. My shirt had risen to mid-stomach and I didn't want anyone seeing. Edward opened the door and greeted Joanne. I frowned and got up.

" Sorry for interrupting, but someone is here for you." She said, her eyes locked on mine. I looked past her and saw Yuzria standing at the bottom of the stairs. I pushed past her and rushed down the steps. He grinned and gave me a huge hug.

" Hey you," I whispered. He chuckled, his voice low in my ear. We pulled back and he put his hand on my cheek and looked into my eyes.

" How are you doing?" He questioned, his emerald eyes serious. I sighed and pulled his hand off my face to hold it in mine. I bit my lip and shrugged.

" I hate her Yuri, I really do." He smiled briefly at the use of my nickname for him. No one, not even his wife, called him Yuri. Just me. He nodded his head and kissed my cheek.

" We'll get her. Now, I'm going to go whip up something for you and Hope. To keep her out of your dreams-" I shook my head, cutting into his sentence. " What?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

" I don't want any. I want her to come to me. I want to mess with her head as much as she's messing with mine. So... just give it to Hope."

" Are you-" I held up my hand and smiled bitterly. I wasn't going to let that bitch get to me anymore. At least... I was going to try very hard not to.

" I'm positive." I answered him and went back to biting my lip. I headed into the living to find most of my family sitting inside. Rosalie and Emmett were back. I went over to them and hugged them, kissing both of them on their cheeks.

" How ya doing little sis?" Emmett asked, going to mess up my hair. I grabbed his wrist and smirked.

" Just fine big bro. But, don't touch the hair." He tipped his head back in laughter and nudged Rose.

" Did you hear that?" He laughed. She rolled her eyes and shook her head yes.

" Unfortunately not everyone enjoys you messing up their hair Emmett." She told him. He shrugged his shoulders and let out a deep sigh. I chuckled and turned to Carlisle.

" I want to tell you I'm...sorry for my behavior yesterday. It was uncalled for." I winced, I hated being polite. I would much rather decapitate someone than admit I was wrong. Pride, it's a killer. He arched an eyebrow and just stared at me for a bit. Actually, everyone was staring at me. I even heard Yuzria stop clattering around in the kitchen. I scoffed and put my hands on my hips. " What? I can say I'm sorry. It isn't that uncommon that you people need to stare like I'm a circus freak."

" We aren't. It was just...unexpected." Carlisle replied, a smile on his face. " And it's alright Bella. It was completely understandable. We should have been more considerate." I couldn't help but nod in agreement. Alice laughed and came up to me, hooking her arm around my waist.

" You make me laugh Bells," she said.

" It's a gift." I responded nonchalantly. I watched Edward walk down the staircase, Joanne behind him. I instantly growled and stepped away from Alice. " Have a good talk?" I asked them sweetly, but making sure the venom could clearly be heard. Joanne smiled timidly and took a deep breath.

" I want to be your friend Bella. I don't want to get into another fight with you." She told me. I laughed, couldn't help it, and put my hand on the banister.

" Fine, we'll be acquaintances. Mainly because I could kill you if I wanted to." I answered. An eyebrow rose and she smirked.

" Sure about that?"

" Positive. I was a hired assassin before all this. Before I switched into my guardian powers. I've killed people a hell of a lot older than you sweetie." I said, walking into the kitchen. I always had to have the last word. Mainly because, I'm almost always right. Ah, who am I kidding? I am always right.

Hope's feet swung back and forth, dangling over the chair and not even close to touching the floor. I smiled and put my hand on hers. Yuzria walked up to her and gave her the chocolate milk she's asked for; complete with the potion. I'd learned from experience that good magic, tastes disgusting. So I made him put it in something that was good. She drank a sip and smiled. " Thanks uncle 'Zria." He nodded his head and smiled.

" No problem Hope." He told her and sat down with us at the kitchen table. We were both watching her drink the milk. She looked at us with a confused look on her face, looking adorable.

" What?" She asked, milk still in her mouth.

" Can you show mommy what you showed papa Carlisle?" I asked her, wanting to see how far along her powers were. I couldn't believe her mother just happened to be a witch. What was the chances of that? She nodded her head and turned around. I watched as a cabinet opened and a cup slowly drifted out. It was halfway to the table when it fell.

" Oh," she grumbled, getting herself off the table. She picked up the cup and went to put it away, but she was much to short. Her bottom lip puckered out and she looked at us. Yuzria immediately got up and put it back in the cabinet, then carried her back to the chair. She concentrated on the cabinet again. The same thing happened. " Stupid cup!" She yelled.

" It's okay sweetie. That's still very good!" I exclaimed, picking her up and putting her in my lap. She drank some more of her milk and nodded her head.

" Papa said he always knew I was special." She told me.

" That you are darling," I said quietly and kissed her cheek. She laughed and wrapped her arms around my neck. She nestled her head onto my shoulder and I started to hum a song.

" I missed you mommy," she whispered. My heart broke a little.

" I missed you too baby. But, you're safe here." She pulled back and I could see tears welling up in her eyes.

" But I want to go home with you!" She cried. I sighed and licked my lips. What could I tell her? That I was a dangerous person to be around? I didn't want to do that, even though it was the truth. She looked at me, waiting for an answer. I looked to Yuzria for help and he sighed.

" Hope, your mother needs to take care of some business before she's able to take you home. But you know what, I'm sure she misses you just as much as you miss her while she's away." I nodded, agreeing with him. She kissed me and laid her head back down.

" Hurry mommy." She said before getting off my lap and running into the other room to show daddy something. I smiled and glanced at Yuzria.

" Thanks," I whispered.

" Anytime," he whispered back. That's when it hit me like a ton of bricks. Hope was never going to be the host for Annebelle. That's why when I'd had my dream she'd been a vampire. She was never going to take over Hope, she was going to change her.

" So... Who's the one she's going to-" I stopped, my eyes growing wide. " Eliza," I said, my voice full of fear. I bolted out of my chair and ran away, to my phone in our room. I nearly tripped on the stairs I was going so fast. I heard Edward call my name when I kicked the door open. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw who was sitting on our bed, a shit eating grin on his face.

" Hey you," he said before getting up.

A/N: Yup, I know, I'm evil haha. I love cliffies though. Cause I'm evil. Anyways, I sort of like this chapter. It's alright. Hope is back for now! Yay! I love her. She's based loosely on my little sister. I just wanted to post a chapter cause I'm not going to be able to tomorrow. I have a family party (whee) so I won't get home 'til late. lol, I swear, they're going to think I'm running wild cause I just got my nose pierced. Hahaha. Anyways, enough of my rambling. Review and let me know what you think. Reviews make me happy, and when I'm happy I write faster. (Yes, I bribe just like bad bella haha) Also, I hope you liked this chapter!
