Chapter 5- Aphrodite smooth talks me out of punishment

RECAP: He bursts into flames and then turns into ash. I take a deep breath and look at my hunters. "Good Job girls!" They all laugh at my change of moods. "Thalia, I want you girls out of here, 7 more vampires will turn up and I don't want them to know anything. Good work my hunters and I will see you all soon." They all nod and make their way out.

I make a quick call to Aphrodite with dread. "Hi. I need you to help me. I have several of your monsters that need to be charmspeaked to."

"I'm on my way!" She says with a squeal. She instantly appears next to me and together we wait for the Cullens.

I personally hate conversations with Aphrodite. She makes all of these comments about your style, your weight, your height, your AGE. She's in the middle of a rant when The Cullens walked in. "I mean seriously Missy (Nickname) you need to fix your nail beds. I mean it's just one snap of your fingers and your good to go – Oh. Hello!" She says in a flirtatious tone. For once in a very long time the vampires paid no attention to her and rushed straight to me.

"Bella!" Edward shouts and pulls me into an embrace "What happened? Where's James? Are you okay!?" I struggle in his embrace looking for an escape.

"I'm fine. James is dead. I killed him." I say in an emotionless tone. They all stare at me in shock.

"Way to be subtle about this Missy." Aphrodite says in an annoyed tone while looking at her nails. The Cullens all look at her. "Finally! Hello! I am Aphrod- I mean, I am Amy, no Amelia, no Abby, Oh screw it! I am Aphrodite!" She says bringing out her manicured hand out for someone to shake it. No one does. "Hm. I guess I should've added manners to you creatures. And might I say" She tells them while circling around them "You are perfect! I truly out did myself!" She squeals.

"Excuse me Aphrodite." I say in annoyed tone. "You came here for a reason…"

"Oh yes! Of course! No problem!" She says a little flushed. "Excuse me. Vampires look at me!" They all turn to look at her and she begins her charm speak. "You will not remember this conversation. You killed the vampire and saved Isabella." She whispers to me. "Anything else?"

"Nope I'm okay. Thank you." I say to her

"No problem sweetie!" And with that she snapped her fingers and poofed out as the Cullens came to.

"Bella!" Edward screamed.. again. "Are you okay!? He didn't bite you right?" Uhm. No. I would be on the floor dead…

"I'm okay honey. You were SO brave!" I say with a little sarcasm.

"Let's get you home Bella." Esme says while wrapping her arms around me.

For the first time in a while I smiled genuinely "Okay."

Authors note:

Sorry
