Authors Notes: Ah I got a little story for you. Like I said I work in a hotel and across the lobby is our restaurant Chaucer's, while I was at work yesterday it flooded. Not just a little water but four inches, so I had to stay late and help clean the water up, or I would have had this chapter up yesterday. Sorry again for the wait, but enjoy.

"First things first, Bella how are you?"

"I'll be okay. My arm looks a lot worse then it feels." I smiled at Carlisle while I thought secretly it was not the worst either.

"That's good to know."

"So what happened?" Emmett was starting to get impatient.

"Didn't Alice tell you?" I was confused I though she would at least tell them Victoria was here.

"No, Bella. I thought it best that you tell them everything, besides I don't know that much myself." I nodded, as I held back a feeling of panic.

"It is okay Bella, we are all here, and she won't hurt you again!" He smiled at me with a little squeeze. I took a deep breath before I began.

"I don't know really how to start, so I will just come out and say it. While I was alone in mine and Edwards room Victoria attacked me with a warning, she said that the next time I was left alone she wouldn't be so nice." I shuddered at the recall of the attack.

"WHAT!" Five shocked vampires growled with wide eyes.

"That…that, she was in our home?" Emmett growled as he jumped to his feet.

"Calm down Emmett, lets just get the whole story." Esme stated trying to hold her own anger at bay, while Emmett sat back down murmuring something that was too low for me to hear. She then nodded for me to continue, as I did they all became more irate, Edward the most, he was still blaming himself.

"She thinks she can scare us! She is the one that should be scared!" Jasper growled, not only was he furious himself but he was feeling everyone's anger, and my fear.

"That's right! No one messes with our Bella!" Alice chimed in trying to hide her anger with a smile.

"Don't worry honey, we wont let anything happen to you." Esme halfheartedly smiled as she pulled me into a tight hug.

"That's right! Human or not you're my sister now, and I will kill her for even thinking she would dare harm you. I know I have not always acted like it but I do care, Bella." Everyone's head snapped to Rosalie in shock. No one expected that from her, yeah she was being nice to me now, but I thought it was because she felt guilty.

"Thank you." I smiled at her and then Esme who had returned to sitting next to Carlisle.

"Carlisle, do you know why none of us were able to sense her, or even Edward being able to read her thoughts, or me seeing her?" Alice was concerned, and I felt Edward stiffen next to me again in guilt.

"Honestly I don't know." We didn't expect that one, Carlisle always seemed to have the answers.

"I have a theory." I wanted everyone to relax some; I didn't like being the reason why they were all stressed.

"Please do tell. It may help us in protecting you." There was a great deal of concern in Carlisle's voice.

"I think that maybe it is her gift."

"How so?"

"Well what if she can block her presents, and if she could do that I also think that she would be able to block her mind. In a sense make herself invisible." Everyone now turned their confused looks to Carlisle, who was thinking my theory over.

"Bella, I think that you might be right." Then he was lost in thought again. "Now that I think about it, I have come across this once before."

"Really! You think that might be why I could hear or sense her?" There was a hint of hope in Edward's voice, that maybe I was right and it wasn't his fault.

"Yes I do. Many years ago, more then I like to admit, I came across another vampire named Leonardo. He could be standing right next to me and I wouldn't feel his presents, if not for being able to see him I wouldn't have known he was there."

"See Edward, I told you it wasn't your fault." I smiled up at him who then gave me a crooked smile back. "That you did."

"If this is true, we need to figure out what we are going to do and fast." There was still concern in Esme's voice.

"Well I am not leaving her side; I will not leave her alone again."

"Edward you can't do that."

"And why not?" I smirked a little that through him off guard.

"You have to hunt!" I was proud that I took him by surprise.

"Then I will watch you when he can't." Alice smiled, seeing through my attempt to have some time alone.

"But there are still some times when I will need to be alone." I protested.

"Like when Bella?" Edward was getting annoyed at my attempt to have some time alone.

"During my human moments." I couldn't help but blush.

"Alice will be with you then too, we are not leaving you alone!" Both of them smiled, I blushed even more, it was bad enough that she was there when I had a broken leg but now I was fine.

"Edward! I…"

"This is for your own safety, please Bella." He used his smoldering eyes on me, cause me to fold in defeat.

"Fine!" There was no way to get around this. I was happy to know that I would be with Edward every moment, but I was still nerves about not having any alone time at all. As I sat there thinking about all the time I would be spending with him, when something Victoria said hit me, 'enjoy the visit with your mother cause it will be your last!'

"What about Renee?" My voice cracked as a shiver ran down my spine.

"Don't worry Bella, we will make sure nothing happens to her as well." Carlisle was trying to reassure me when I let a yawn slip out.

"Edward I think that you should take Bella up to bed. It is late and she needs sleep, plus we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow." Esme said, her motherly side was showing again. He nodded and then gently picked me up and head to our room. Before we were out of ear shot I heard the rest of the Cullen's begin making plans on how to take care of Victoria. Once in the room I grabbed my bag of toiletries and headed to our bathroom. Edward tried to let me let him in but I was able to keep him out but he stayed on the other side of the door listening the whole time I was getting ready for bed. I took a hotter shower then normal to try and calm myself down then slipped into a light pink silk nighty that Alice got me. She told me that the color pink would look flattering on me, one look in the mirror and I disagreed. I would have taken longer to brush my teeth but I could hear Edward getting restless.

"See everything is okay." I smirked as I opened the door. He looked at me with relief in his eyes. I then slowly crawled into bed and lay down when I felt his cool arms around me. I shivered a little, after the hot shower he felt colder then normal.

"You are nice and warm, it feels so nice." He smiled.

"Showers will do that." He rolled his eyes but left the smile on his god like face. He slowly pressed his lips to mine and like always my heart began to race. I wanted to pull him in closer to deepen the kiss, but I remained good. I did wrap my sore arm around him, that's when I thought that he was going to pull away, but he did something I didn't expect. He pulled me closer to him and gently without breaking skin nibbled on my lower lip. The whole room began spinning, and my heart was pounding harder then ever, I was going to faint. But right before I did he pulled back.

"Bella you need to breathe!" He was concerned. I then realized that I was no longer breathing. My heart slowly slowed down as I began taking slow deep breaths.

"Gets easier all the time!" He smirked.

"For you, you don't feel like fainting!" He then laughed cause me to blush a deep red.

"I love it when you do that!" His cool finger brushed against my cheek cause my blush to deepen.

"Now try and get some sleep."

"How can I sleep after that?" That was the best kiss we have ever had.

"Try please."

"Yes sir." I teased as I laid my head on his shoulder. He began to brush his fingers though my wet hair.

"I love you Edward."

"I love you too. Now sleep." He began humming my lullaby but right before I was over come by sleep I heard him ask me to marry him again.
