Home, sweet home
NPOV
*Note*
Nessie, please sweetheart tell them not to come after me. I don't want them getting hurt because of me. They've already had to save me twice… tell them I can take care of myself. And don't not under any circumstances- and I mean any let them kill Tanya, that little traceries bitch is mine and not to let your father come and get me… we've already been so close to death twice (no pun intended), I don't want it to happen again. You have to know that none of this is your fault, I am doing this because I am your mother and I don't ever want to see you hurt.
I love you and everyone with all my heart. ~ Isabella Maria Swan Cullen
*End Note*
Mother had surprisingly put that in my bag and told me to look and see if I had everything when I had got on the plane. I couldn't help but cry. Soft sobs escaped me before I could control myself. Why? Why did I have to leave and she didn't? It isn't fair! Why didn't she come with me? Why did she have to sacrifice her freedom for mine? Why must I be free, while she is stuck in Hell? But that little voice in the back of my head knew why. She didn't want you there because you're her daughter. It said. Her main concern was your safety. She would rather live the rest of her days out as Aro's guard than have you put in harms way. She wanted you back home with the family and Jacob. Oh God. Did they already know? Probably. I can still remember her finally words when I had gotten on the plane.
*Flash Back*
"Come with me, please mama! You don't have to stay, please!" I cried. She shook her head.
"I can't Nessie I made a deal with the Devil himself and I will stick to it. All I wont is for you to be safe."
"And all I want is for you to come with me!" I yelled. She shook her head again.
"I can't Renesme. You no I can't, this is the only way to get you out of here and I'm taking it." They announced that the plane was about to leave. She pushed me forward.
"Go. Go home and tell everyone I love them and that they shouldn't worry. And tell your father that I know the truth now and that I'm sorry. Don't forget to tell them about Tanya!" She yelled as I got on the plane.
*Flash Back Ends*
Tell them about Tanya… oh hell yeah I was going to tell them all about that backstabbing, conniving, low down, bitch. Mother better believe that, because when I get my hands on that little bitch. The Devil himself will piss his pants. Wait… Dad? She said tell dad that she was sorry and that she knows the truth now. What does that mean. Hold the fuck up… does that mean…? That little whore! I'm going to kill her, yep I am going to kill her. This is all her fault in the fist place. If she hadn't come over then none of this shit would have happened. So Dad was right, Tanya kissed him and he was trying to fight her off when Mom came into the room. I sighed, knowing Mom she was to damn stubborn to even listen when they had all found out the truth. And me being as stubborn as both of them, didn't really help. Oh crap, I had called my own father "Sperm Donator"! He must think I'm the worst daughter ever. And the things we did… like with his Piano…. Did I forget to tell you that we burned it at La Push and Mom took pictures of it and sent it to his phone? And his car and cloths. Uh oops? Yeah well, Hell have no fury like a vampire wife scorned, I can tell you that much. Will he ever forgive us for what we had done? I hope so. What am I going to tell them…? I hope I knew when I got there. The plain took longer than I had expected. Or was it that I couldn't wait to see my family, Jacob, and the pack again? Yeah that had to be it. Sighing impatiently, I decided to get some sleep to help past the time. And I dreamed. Mother and me were in a dark room. It was so dark, I called out for help but no one came. Then suddenly a burst of light came out of no were and there stood Aro, Marcus, Caius, with Jane and Alec behind them. They were laughing. I looked down at Mother… she was died. They had tore her apart and burned her. But I could still see the agony on her face.
"Nooooooo!" I screamed. The other people in first class looked at me. I glared at them, they turned their attention elsewhere. Calm down Nessie, it was just nightmare. Just a nightmare. I sighed.
"Passengers, we will be arriving in Forks with in 30 minutes." Said the Caption. When I got off of the plane I had hoped to see my family or Jacob- which I didn't. Stilling a car I drove to the Big White house. Slowly I walked in and everyone stared at me, in shock.
"Nessie!"
"Oh my God!"
"Renesme?"
"Niece!"
"Nessie!"
"Oh thank God!"
"Renesme oh thank God!" Everyone said at once. Then bracing for impact they all came to hug and kiss me. Uncle Emmett picked me up in a huge bar hug.
"Can't breath… Uncle Em," He put me down. After all the hugs they all stood back. I looked at my father and he looked back, I looked away first.
"Where's Tanya?" I asked looking out at the window.
"We don't know. How-"
"You must already know that we were captured by the Volterra?" I made it a question. They all nodded.
"Where's-" Grandpa started to ask, but I cut him off because I already knew the question and the answer.
"She told them that she would server them willingly if they let me gone unharmed." There were gasps, hisses, growls from all around.
"She told me to tell you that she all loved you and don't worry about her." I turned to my father.
"She told me to tell you that she knows the true now and that she is sorry, and so am I- oh Daddy!" I cried the comes and hugs me tight like I'm the last solid thing in the world. Pulling back from him and looked into each face of my family. It broke my heart even more not to see my mother in those loving faces. I pulled the note she had given me.
"What is that Renesme?" Grandpa asked.
"Mother gave me this note… to read to everyone…" My voice trailed off. I opened the note slowly and began to read it.
"I love you and everyone with all my heart. Isabella Maria Swan Cullen." When I was done reading the note, everyone stared at it in horror. Father was all but calling a flight to Italy, until Grandpa stopped him.
"Edward, think about this. She said not to came after her and that she can take care of herself. Son, you have to trust her in this." He said soft, but firmly. Father was furious.
"What do you mean, Carlisle are you crazy? Just let her be taken, to… to…." He didn't finish. Slowly he went over to the window and began to cry softly to himself, or to stare out into space either one. I didn't know which.
"Where's Tanya?" I asked quietly. They shook their heads. Grandma answered.
"We have no idea where she is but if we ever see her…" Her voice trailed off. My face hardened. So the little whore wasn't here? Oh but we will be finding her, trust me on that.
"It was Tanya?" They all looked at me in confusion.
"What?" Auntie Rose asked.
"She was the reason they kidnapped us and tried to make us their guards. She went to them and asked them to- and I quote, "get them out of the way", end quote." I said, my tome and face empty. This time they all looked at me in horror. Profanity flue from every direction. For get the Salome Witch Trials- it was going to be more like… the Salome Vampire Trials when they find her. I think their going to enjoy ripping her apart. Hell Uncle Emmett said that they should mount her head on the wall.
"Damnit! I can't find her. She keeps changing her mind every 2 freaking minutes!" Auntie Alice screamed in frustration. Uncle Jaz looked as if he was in pain. Poor thing, having all the hostile and violence emotions is taking its told on him.
"Has anyone seen Jacob?" I asked. They all stopped and looked at me. I guess that's a no.
"I'm sorry Nessie. He should be down at La Push." Father said. He moved to stand by my side. Great that means Leah might be with him. Great, just great. I thought sarcastically. My father laughed.
"Oh stop reading my mind." Freaking mind reader,
"I heard that." He said with a laugh. Good. He shook his head, giving up.
"I could go over there to see him… or call him to come over here…" I looked at Father. My eyes pleading. He nodded, I gave him a hug and dialed Jake's number.
"Hello?" He said
"Jackie!"
"Nessie? Where the hell have you and Bells been? We've been looking everywhere for you." In the back round I can here the rest of our pact and Sam's. they were all trying to talk at once. I winced, and they said girls were loud.
"Look Jake, just come by the house and I'll tell you everything." I said through the chaos on his side of the phone.
"Okay." He said- which I can barely hear over Paul's giant mouth. I hung up first. The rest of the family gave me more hugs and kisses and left. Probable to leave me to tell about what happened and why Mother wasn't here. But the truth was I didn't want to tell him alone…
"We can stay if you want Nessie," Father said softly. I nodded. The all smiled and went into to either, sit or stand somewhere. It didn't take Jake long to get here. He opened the door and practically ran to me. He hugged me tight and I did the same.
"Nessie," He said softly in my ear.
"Oh Jacob," Pulling back from me, he looked around to find my mother, but couldn't find her.
"Uh, where's Bells?" He asked. Just like I did, he looked at them all and stopped. Pulling out of his arms I could see what had stopped him. The look on each of my family's faces. Pain, rage, hatred, and sadness.
"Where is she?" He demanded. I looked in his eyes and said.
"The Volterra had kidnapped us. She… she gave up her freedom so that they would let me go. She can't come home…" He was livid.
"Then we have to go and get her!" I shook my head at him.
"She doesn't want us to. She told us to trust her and that she can take care of herself." I said quietly.
"I thought that they would have given up." Said Seth. We all looked at him. As if we had just noticed that he was there. Leah stood by his side.
"No. Apparently they Aro still wants us in his little collection." I said coldly.
"Don't come after her? Trust her? She has to be out of her damn mind? What the hell is wrong with her?" Father can to stand in front of him in a matter of seconds. He had a murderess look on his face.
Leah came to stand to back him up. But just like my father I was in front of her in seconds. But unlike him I was in a deadly crouch. Ready to spring like a wild cat. She growled at me while I hissed at her. Auntie Rose and Uncle Emmett can to stand at my back- also in a crouch. Auntie Alice and Uncle Jasper came to stand in the back of Father as well. Seth stayed out of it. He knew that tempers were high because we were all pissed off and worried about Bella.
"How dare you, Mutt? She gave up her freedom to protect her daughter- your mate! And yet you bash on her? Do you think this is easy, letting her do this by herself, to let her…" He stopped. Carlisle's calm and soothing voice came even and steadily.
"Everyone came down. Arguing about this amongst ourselves wont solve the fact that we need to find Tanya. So everyone should back off each other and-" He stopped when Father's cell phone rang. Tearing his eyes from Jacob, he looked at his caller ID on his phone. Father went pale. Don't ask me how he did it, but he did. Both he and Auntie Alice gasped. He opened his phone.
"Bella! Are you alright? Are you hurt, what's-" He stopped and listened. Then he took the phone away from his ear and pressed a button and Mother's voice came out clear and steady on the other side.
"My guess is that everyone is arguing about me not being able to come home so, stop." She said in an even voice. Protest flew at her like wild fire. She silenced them all like wind slicing the air.
"Stop! I have made this chose and I wont go back on it" She said. They stopped almost atomically.
"Jacob are you there?"
"Yeah Bells. So is Seth and Leah." He said softly.
"Hey Seth. Leah." She said Leah's name coldly. Well looks like they wont be BBFs anytime soon. Father smirked at me.
"You and Edward must be fighting." She sighed. It wasn't a question, but a statement. So it was like this when she was still human? How did she keep from going insane for that long? I wondered.
"You know what? The really sad thing is that I'm not even surprised."
"Bella-" Father said, but she cut him off.
"No Edward, let me say this. Love each other. Love each other like it was your last moment. Cherish everyday like it was the end of the world. Try not to get into to much trouble- that means you Emmett-""Hey! I resent that!" She laughed softly.
"As I was saying, love each other with you whole hearts no matter what. Nessie?"
"Yes?" I breath trying not to cry.
"Take care of your father for me, he'll need you more than ever now." I could feel the tears strumming down my face.
"Okay." I choke out. Now it was I how heard the tears in her voice.
"Edward I love you. I love you all. Even though I am not there with you, my love will always be there no matter when you need it. Goodbye everyone."
"Bella-" Father started but she had already hung up the phone. He stared at it for a few seconds then threw it to the wall smashing it into a billion pieces. It was so suddenly that it made me jump. His face fell into an complete emptiness. Then stormed out, I had barely realized that I was on my knees crying. Crying so hard that I was choking from it. Someone raped their arms around me and held me as I cried. I didn't know who was holding me and I didn't care. All I wanted, all I cared about was gone. All I wanted was my mother back. Her words still rang in my ears: "Even though I am not there with you, my love will always be there no matter when you need it." Then tell me mother why can't I draw from your love when I'm in so much pain. Your gone, and I want you to hold me Mommy.
OKAY, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. MAY IT BE BRUTAL OR KIND. BUT PLEASE VOTE, COMMENT, BECOME A FAN, AND TELL YOUR OTHER FANS ABOUT THIS STORY AND OTHERS THAT I'M WRITING!

Painful Call and Bloody Temptations
BPOV
"Call them." Aro ordered. I thought of telling him to go and screw himself, but thought better against it. This may be the only chance to say good bye. The only chance to tell them that I love them and to keep on loving each other even if I'm not there. I took the phone Jane and dialed Edward's cell. I can only guess what they're doing right now. Probably arguing right now. I could see it now, Jacob and Edward yelling at each other, everyone on edge. Edward answered on the second ring. His voice as pain stricken and drowned in worry and concern.
" Bella! Are you alright? Are you hurt, what's-" I cut him off.
"Edward, I need for you to listen and put the phone on speaker for me." My voice empty. I couldn't risk for him to hear my tears and the pain in my voice, because Edward being Edward, would rush down here and try and save me, without listening to reason and get himself killed. And I couldn't bare to think of that not right now.
"My guess is that everyone is arguing about me not being able to come home so, stop." I said. And just as I thought they began to argue with me all at the same time.
"Bella are you insane you can't stay there?"
"We don't care what your saying we're coming to get you!"
"Bells what the hell were you thinking, if you think we're just going to leave you there then you've lost you mind!"
"Bella how can you ask that of us?"
"Little Sis, have they hurt you?"
All of them talking at once was starting to give me a massive headache, and I needed for them to shut the hell up.
"Stop! I have made this chose and I wont go back on it" She said. They stopped almost atomically. I sighed softly. It was the only way to save her, I thought. The only way to get her out of here and back to your loving arms. So please don't hate me for it. Please.
"Stop! I have made this chose and I wont go back on it" She said. They stopped almost atomically.
"Jacob are you there?" Jake's voice came though the other line.
"Yeah Bells. So is Seth and Leah." He said softly. Ah, Leah. The BFH. Bitch From Hell. Man I still hated her, but it didn't matter because she hated me too. She hated me because I had caused Jake a lot of pain for being in love with me, thought that I was a unbelieving vampire with out a heart or and lets not forget that I dislocated Seth's shoulder (but that really wasn't my fault, he had gotten in the way). Well I really didn't care because I from the fact that she made me feel like crap and wouldn't let me forget about who much pain that I had caused him, that and she almost got him killed when the newborn vampires had come to kill me. So yeah I thought we were pretty much even.
"Hey Seth. Leah." I said Leah's name coldly. What can I say, forgive, but never forget.
"You and Edward must be fighting." I sighed. It wasn't a question, but a statement. With all the fighting they would constantly do around me I didn't even seem surprised about. Hell it had got so bad that I told them that I was Switzerland. I shook my head.
"You know what? The really sad thing is that I'm not even surprised."
"Bella-" Father said, but I cut him off again.
"No Edward, let me say this. Love each other. Love each other like it was your last moment. Cherish everyday like it was the end of the world. Try not to get into to much trouble- that means you Emmett-""Hey! I resent that!" I couldn't help but laugh softly at him. He always made me laugh, no matter how down I was or upset.
"As I was saying, love each other with you whole hearts no matter what. Nessie?"
"Yes?" I breath trying not to cry.
"Take care of your father for me, he'll need you more than ever now." I could almost see the tears strumming down her face.
"Okay." She choke out. I couldn't help the tears in my voice because I was tired of hiding them, and I don't think I could have been able to.
"Edward I love you. I love you all. Even though I am not there with you, my love will always be there no matter when you need it. Goodbye everyone." I cut off the phone before anyone could say anything. Then I sank to my knees I looked at the phone that was still clinched in my hands and crushed it. I turned to Aro who was smiling at me. That cold and twisted smile. I glared at him and hissed, before I could stop myself. I lunged for him, like an angry wild cat out for blood. And I felt like one. But I didn't get far. Someone pulled me back so hard that my back slammed into something, but that didn't stop me. I went at him again and again. Every time I was stopped by one of the guards. Dimitri and Flex grabbed me by my arms and forced me to my knees and pulled my hair back to make me face the three headed snake. Caius back handed me several times and grabbed my checks and brought my face close to him. He hissed at me.
"Woooo, I'm so scared. I'll tell you was really funny, that your mother is so fat, that when she went to the fair and got on the Farris wheel, it stopped, and two people starved to death, no wait, I'll tell you what's really, really funny… that you have a face only a mother could love." I said sarcastically. He grabbed me by my throat and once again my back and head was slammed against something hard. He looked about ready to rip my throat out. Until Aro stopped him.
"That's enough Caius. Would you really think see would just think she would be happy being here?" He didn't answer he just released my throat, before he turned he back handed me once more so hard that I went spinning across the room. Getting to my feet I crouched down, eyes red and ready for blood. Aro seemed impressed that I was still willing to fight them. Willing to kill them and wouldn't let up. He was right.
"You know we could just kill your little family." He said. It brought chills down my spin. I straightened up at once. He knew that I would do anything he asked to keep them safe. And so did I.
"You told us that you would no fight us Isabella." Aro said.
"No, I said that I would cooperate, not that I wouldn't fight you." I smiled bitterly. He laughed. Then stopped and looked me dead in the eye.
"You will follow every order, without question, and you will be calling us master."
"Sir." I countered. There was no way in Heaven or Hell I was ever going to call this ass holes Master.
"Now go to your room till we figure out what to do with you." He ordered. Like I was some damn child. I bit back a growl and began to walk to my room.
"Oh, and Isabella," I stopped, but didn't turn around.
"You'll be drinking human blood from now on." Now I did turn around. I could feel my eyes begin to turn black with my rage.
"I will never- never take human blood. I would sooner take my chances trying to kill you than kill an innocent human." He laughed again.
"Do you really think they're all innocent. Because if you do, then you are surly wrong."
"I'd rather be wrong, than take someone's life." His face hardened.
"Then you will starve, and when the thirst be comes so unbearably painful. You will."
"Never." I spat.
"We will see, Isabella. We will see." I walked to my room without turning around. I knew that Aro had two of his guards with me, but I ignored him. Until I had got to my door.
"He had your family killed. The people you loved, your mates, and yet you serve him. He killed everyone that you loved and forced you to sever him so you won't suffer the same fate. Tell me, do you think they are happy that you serve him? The man that took their lives, just because he wanted to add you to his collection of new toys?" I shook my head and closed the door. I knew the person I had to kill first to make the see that they don't want to server Aro and that it was a because of the power of a vampire under his control. I had to do one of two things. One, make her into turning all the vampires against Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Or two, kill her. I was hoping for option one. Aro was true to his word. I hadn't fed since I had gotten here. He would repeatedly send in humans to tempted me, but I would never budge. I stayed in my room, because I didn't want to see their faces. The ones that severed him. The ones that took his orders without question or hesitation. Knowing that he killed all the people they loved so he could have them under his control. I heard a soft knock at my door. I knew it was a human because I could smell and hear the blood pulsing through their veins.
"If you don't want to die, the step away from the door and go home without looking like a frightened rabbit in a dean with a pack of hungry wolves." I said in a cold and empty voice.
"Its me Gianna." Ah, Gianna. She was severed the vampires here. I walked over and swung open the door. She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off.
"You do realize they will kill you when they have no further use for you, right? Your just another meal to them. They won't turn you, they will only kill you. And if your smart then you'd say you'd go shopping one day and never return." I said leaning on the door frame. Peering at her. I could see her pulse jumping out. I felt it call to me. Begging me to take it. I took and long breath and slowly released it. I won't kill her. I won't. She didn't look surprised that I had said this. Or that she was only inches away from a hungry and hostile vampire. Stupid woman.
"Master Aro wishes to see you." She said in a polite tone. I looks like what I said didn't have any effect on her. Like I said, stupid woman. She walked in front of me and never turned around to me. I grabbed her shoulder and slammed her back into the wall. I put my mouth so close to her throat. She gasped in surprise and held her breath. So close, just a little bit more then… I released her and was about to push her forward. But be for I did, I saw a look of disappointment on her face. I shook my head.
"If you want to become a vampire then find another family, not this one." I said quietly and that was the last then I said before she continued to walk me to Aro. Aro was sitting on a throne chair with Caius right and Marcus to his left. I stood before them my head raised high. I was going to fined out away to kill this three headed snake, even if I had to do it from the tail up.
"Kneel." Caius ordered. I scoffed at him, but kneeled. I think I'm going to kill him first.
"Very impressive Isabella. You have gone weeks without any blood. Your eyes are as black as night and the purple rings around them even more so. And yet you still refuse to drink. Yes, very impressive indeed, Isabella." I stopped myself from growling at him.
"I told you that I want going to drink human blood and that's what I meant." I said in a empty tone. Had it really been almost a month? It felt more like months if not years. Months without blood, with this constant burning in my throat, and him like the serpent tempting Eve with that damn tree. But really hit me hard was that it had been weeks without seeing my family. It was almost to much sometimes I had almost cried. But I wouldn't give the bastards the satisfaction.
"Yes and your still hanging in there." Marcus said. Well that must be pretty good, since the silent on talked. I had sometimes thought that he was mute.
"But she won't last long." Caius said. Neither will you if you don't shut the hell up, I thought.
"But your wrong Caius. We had even sent Gianna to fetch her, yet she still didn't given in to temptation." Aro said. Okay, I was getting tired of them talking about me as if I wasn't here. If they were going to do that, then I could have stayed in my room.
"Gianna, come here." Aro ordered. She did. Like an obedient dog. For the first time I saw that she had a knife in her hand. What the hell was he…? Then I knew, he was going to have her cut herself and temped me even more. Before I could open my mouth, that's what she did. She cut her arm and blood started to drip to the floor. I had watched it come from her arm and onto the floor. I had watched like a hungry animal. Like a starving dog following a big juicy bone. Before I knew it I was walking toward her. She held out her arm. That's when I stopped dead (no pun intended), in my tracks. Ripping the sleeve off of the shirt I was wearing, I rapped it around her bleeding arm. She winced when I had tightened it.
"Sorry." I said softly. When I was done, I pushed her away from me and turned to back to them. My eyes burning with rage and disgust.
"You sick bastards." I hissed. This didn't seem to faze them one little bit.
"My my, how interesting." Aro said looking at Gianna bandaged arm. Then turned to me.
"Tell me Isabella. Have you resisted this much temptation before?" I smiled bitterly.
"Yeah. In fact I'm resisting it right now." I said. Like resisting to rip their throats out and drink their blood. Now that was temptation. Caius hissed at me. I grinned at him. How good his blood would taste, I wondered.
"Did this ever happen before?" Aro asked, bring his attention back to him.
"You looked inside Edward's head. You tell me," I said. He didn't. So we waited, and waited, and waited some more. I sighed and grinded my teeth before answering.
"My first hunting trip. I had smelled hunters and went to go and find them, then stopped, held my breath, and ran away." I said in a tight voice. Just think about it made my mouth water. I licked my lips then pressed them together. The sent of blood was enough to drive me insane, but I won't give in. But I made the mistake of looking down at my hands, which was covered in Gianna's blood. I had brought my finger tips up to my mouth… No! I thought. I quickly wiped them on my clothes but I could still smell the sweet smell of blood lingering in the air. I had to focus on something else before I'm over come by hunger and kill her, I thought.
"If this all you wanted from me, may I go." I asked in a empty tone, grinding my teeth together so hard that it almost hurt. I wanted nothing more than to rip every last one of their smug heads clean off their shoulders, but I doubt I'd get that far. Aro didn't take his eyes off of me and asked.
"Well you still not take human blood?" I growled at him before I could stop myself.
"Never." I said so icily that I was surprised that he wasn't frozen. He nodded.
"Then that is all. Return to your room, until we call you once again." He ordered. I did without protest. Anything to get out of that room and away from those obsessed, coldhearted, arrogant, cruel, brutal, ruthless, son's of bitches. When I had gotten down to my hallway, I saw him standing there.
"Speaking of son's of bitches." I said in a heated voice. He smiled at me.
"Come now Bella, is that anyway to speak to the person whose brought you dinner?" He asked, holding out a bottle of blood to me. I expected him to bring human blood, but instead it was animal blood. I snatched the bottle from him, then glared.
"Thank you. Now what do you want, Alec?" I said in a cold voice. He smiled at me. Like a cat that got into cream.
"Nothing, I just want to get to know my new roommate."
