Chapter 10 - The Princess Returns
BPOV
It felt good to be back at home but I knew once I walked back though those castle doors everything will change like the last time but it's not driving me out of my home, not again.
We had just gotten off the plane and are now in a limo on our way to the castle, everyone was quite for the time being.
"What are you thinking?" Edward said into my ear so only I could hear, I let down my shield and pulled him into it so only he and I could hear each other's thoughts…
Just how everything is going to change when we get back and it's said that I am back - Me
I thought you wanted to come back home - Edward
I do but I'm scared that what happened the last time might happen again Edward - Me
What happen last time Love? - Edward
I looked up into his eyes and saw that he was worried but just as I was about to tell him we was at the castle.
I'll tell you later, at the moment it's time for the Princess to go get ready, I'll see you soon and don't be worried by what's about to happen when I leave in a few minutes my dad will explain - Me
I smiled at my love so he knew it was ok and kissed him on the lips.
Just before the door opened I turned to see Jane, Alec, Taylor, Amy, Shane, Faith, Mum and Dad looking at me and I gave them a look they knew all too well and they nodded back.
Tell them but not everything I should be the one to tell them why I had to leave - Me
Yes dear - Mum (Lola)
Bells, Felix and Demetri will be the ones to open the door and take you to your room, get dressed and Jane and Alec will be up in a few - Dad (Aro)
Yes Dad - Me
Then the rest of you dears, (Amy, Taylor, Faith and Shane) go to your rooms get dressed where your crest and meet us in the hall - Mum (Lola)
Yes Lola - the four of them said together
Now what did I tell you call me Mum - Mum (Lola)
Sorry Mum - the four of them replied together again
That's better, Jane and Alec you get dressed before you go to Bella's room and also where your crest everyone is to where the crest so the Cullen's feel more like family when they get there's understood - Mum (Lola)
Yes Mum - we all said together
The limo came to a stop as I saw Felix and Demetri walk towards us with their hoods up; as soon as the door was opened I was out of the limo leaving the Cullen's shocked at the speed I had to go. With Felix and Demetri on my tail making sure no harm came to me we went straight to my room.
"Welcome Home Bells!" They both shouted at me as soon as my bedroom door closed, my room was sound proof so it didn't matter.
"Hello boys" I turned and smiled at my loving cousins and open my arms and said "what no hug?, come on who's first?" of course Demetri was first to give me a big bear hug much like Emmet's and the Felix was the same just not as tight.
"We've missed you Bells" Felix said as he stepped away,
"Well we all know why I had to leave but I'm back now and I'm not leaving my home without putting up a fight for it" I grinned evilly because they knew I don't back down a 2nd time.
"That our girl, but enough of this chit chat you have to get ready the Cullen's rooms have been set up and are being seen as we talk and you have to get ready for your party before Alec and Jane come to get you, have fun Princess" Demetri knew I hated it when he called me that, I may be princess but it don't make me any different from the rest of them but he's always seen me as his little princess so I don't mind as much.
"We will leave you to get ready Alec and Jane are outside your room when you're ready Bells" Felix said as they walked to the door.
"Wait!" I shouted not that I needed to, "it's only you two that know I'm back right no one else?" I could get out of this party if everyone knew.
"Only we know inside the castle someone had to come and make sure no harm came to you now didn't we" and with that I was left in my room to get ready.

Once the limo stopped Bella was gone with two of the guard that I think was Felix and Demetri I couldn't see as they had their hoods up blocking their face but they ran with Bella to the castle, I turned to ask Aro and Lola where she had gone I had a feeling they was having a thought convo again as Bella blocked their minds, but when I went to ask, Lola simply held her hand up and said "we will tell you in dear time dear".
The limo went to the front of the castle and we was led to the hall where everything was set up for the party there was balloons and everything, but it didn't miss my eye that everything was in a navy blue colour.
Aro walked to the front of the hall and that's when I realized only my family was here, I wonder where everyone else went…
"As you just saw Bella had to live before us and this is for her own safety" I was about to interrupt but Aro held his hand up, "we cannot tell you why as Bella has asked to tell you herself and we are going to respect her wishes to tell you" he paused and then Lola spoke up…
"This is where the party well take place your rooms have been set up to how Bella designed them and they are also stored with everything needed such as clothes an-" then Alice spoke
"Sorry to interrupt Lola but please tell me Bella didn't pick out the clothes and thanks on behalf of me and my family" Alice always so impatient when coming to clothes at least she said thanks at the end.
"It's ok dear" Lola started laughing and looked back up to meet our eyes, "no dear Bella didn't even trust herself to pick your clothes so Faith, Bella's Aunt's Heidi, Renata and Chelsea picked them out but Bella did design your rooms" she pointedly at me now then spoke again…
"you will have your own room for now Edward until after the party as you will not be seeing her until then and she needs to get ready" I nodded that seemed fair enough.
BPOV
Me, Jane and Alec was waiting to enter the hall all members of the guard was inside the hall with other vampires from all over the world and so was all my families. I was wearing a Navy Blue dress that came to my knees as a cut came up the dress, my dress is also strap less, over my dress I have a black cloak, the inside is Navy Blue and also my cloak has a hood that is up at the moment until I take it off in the hall, then lastly my shoes are heels (god help me!) they are black to go with my black cloak.
(Bella's outfit is on my profile just click my name and stroll down).
Jane was wearing a red dress a little shorter than mine, hers was mid-thigh and over that was her black cloak the same as mine but the inside of hers was red, then she was wearing red heels with two straps going over them.
(Jane outfit is also on my profile).
Alec was just wearing a normal outfit Black pants with a black button up top with his cloak over it, the inside of his cloak was just black and his was also wearing a black pair of plims.
"We are all here today to welcome back a much loved one and the heart to our family who we dearly missed when she left" Aro paused I guessed to give everyone time to let in settle in even when that didn't know who the hell he was talking about.
"Lets go Bells" Alec whispered so no one else would hear in the hall, the doors at the front of the hall opened up so everyone inside could see the three of us but didn't know who we were as our hoods were up, Alec and Jane walked in first stopped in front of everyone turned while taking their hoods off I walked forward stood in the middle of them both as they said "welcome back…" I started taking my hood of, "Princess Isabel Volturi" everyone gasped as I looked up and smiled it felt good to be home.
EPOV
Everyone gasped as Bella took her hood off, and she grinned widely before she spoke and it sounded like music to my ears.
"Hello again everyone, it feels good to be home but today if they accept our family will grow even bigger" she paused and I had no idea what she was talking about but it looked like everyone else was clueless as well apart from The Swan's, Aro, Lola, Jane and Alec.
"Now I know the last time I left not all of your know the story but it don't matter as I'm back and will not leave on such a short notice again and will not be driven from my home and family understood?" she took such control when she was speaking this is a side of her I have never seen but liked it, a slow grin started to form on my face.
Everyone cheered I heard Felix and Demetri yelling over everyone and understood what Bella meant about them not always being mean but this is a side I have never seen of them.
"So anyway enough about me will the Cullen's please come up here for a moment" wait, what did she just say?
My family and I went up stood in a line facing all the other vampires having no idea why we was up here then my angel walked in front of us and started to talk again.
"Now you all should remember the Cullen's and I have some news" moment pause "Edward and I are back together you all know my story and I have forgiven him" she was standing in front of me now and turned leaning into my chest as I put my arms around her as she went on "and his and our family have a tight bond with them so, mark my words right now if anyone hurts or upsets them I will personal take care of it" she said this with such a serious tune but from what I have leant over the past months is that Bella hates it when people hurt her family and it's not a pretty sight when they do.
Bella was watching Felix and Demetri as they whispered like little girls and from what I could tell she was listening to their convo when her eyes glassed over… uh oh … this must not be god.
BPOV
As I was saying my speech I looked over to Felix and Demetri when there whispering caught my attention.
"Felix I bet you 50 bucks I can prank Emmett better then you can?" Demetri didn't notice me listen as Felix said his comeback.
"No way man, did you not just hear what our little cousin just said if we prank without her or on her new family we will be toast" he whispered back, he was right if there's a prank to pull and you don't ask me to join in your toast because I love pulling pranks.
"Aww is a little Felix scared of Belize?" Felix mumbled back a 'shut up' so I thought I'd teach Demetri a lesson.
I picked Demetri up using a power I copied from Faith and though him across the room in the air and back "now what was you saying?" I asked as I spun him round and round upside down and everything then put him down in front of me "please go on, you're going to pranks who?" he looked so funny but I kept myself from laughing.
"No one Bella" he looked so scared and I loved it,
"As I thought, now let that be a lesson to all of you that are thinking of 1) Doing a prank on the Cullen's and 2) a prank without me" I grinned at everyone as they laughed and went back to serious stuff "so before all that I said about our family growing, so behind I go ahead" she unwrapped my arms from her and walked forward then turned to look at me and my family…
"When I do what I am about to do next remember you can say no, but when we ask we are not asking for you to become part of the guard of any sort it's just to show your part of our family and that we think of you as a family I designed these myself and you can ask questions before you say yes or no ok?" I asked I don't want to push them into being a part of our family like we think they are.
I walked up to Esme first the crest behind my back in a box,
"Remember you can say no and we will still treat you as family and nothing will change, Esme I was wondering if you would aspect a crest I personal designed to your personally to show others that you are part of my family you can say yes or no ?" I said this while opening the box and show her the crest that had her name on it and designed it to her own style but also had a V for Volturi on it I really wanted her to say yes I loved her so much and thought of her as a mum with or without the crest.
"I would love to dear, thank you" she said and started to dry sob, I was over the moon as I placed the bracelet with five charms around her wrist.
The Charms were -
1) The V
2) A locket with her and Carlisle inside
3) A love heart
4) Snowflake with diamonds on each of the points at the ends
5) The Cullen Crest so people knew she was loved by not only us but her other family to.
"Carlisle would you please take this crest and even though you are already part or the family let others see it? You can say yes or no" I was also hoping Carlisle would say yes as he is truly like another father to me.
"How can I say no when you ask so nicely, yes Bella I would love to" I smiled as big as I could I just hope everyone else would say yes now I thought as I opened the box that held a men's style bracelet much like the ones Jasper, Emmett and Edward will be getting but they was all very different Carlisle's was baby blue and had the Cullen crest on the inside and on the outside had a personally designed crest with a V on it and also on the inside next to the Cullen crest was a in print stitch of him and Esme.
"Rosalie and Emmett would you please aspect these crest I designed for you two to wear so others knew you were part of this family and also your other family still? You can say either yes or no and nothing will change between any of us I promise" Emmett had a big grin slapped on his face and Rosalie would be blushing if she could.
"Hell Yeah!!!" Emmett boomed and everyone laugh as Rosalie said "I would love to Bells" in a better manner, Emmett's was the same as Carlisle's but his was Brown and also the photo was of him and Rosalie. Rosalie's was a long necklace that had a locket with a photo of her and Emmett and the Cullen Crest printed on the other side in the locket. The locket was in a shape of a rose and had two other charms next to it on both sides, one was the new Crest with a V the other was a word that said beautiful. The other thing about the necklace was it is Sliver but the charms where brown.
"Jasper, Alice I hope you chose to take the crest but you may say no if you'd like and nothing will cha-" I was cut off by Alice,
"Eeeeee!!!! Yes" I looked to Jasper waiting for his answer when he nodded and said a lot more crammer then Alice "I'd love to have a new crest Bella thank you" I opened yet another box to show that Jaspers was the same as Carlisle's and Emmett's but his was a baby yellow and had a photo of him and Alice on the inside. Alice had a choker that was the same colour as Jasper's crest baby yellow and it had in the middle the new crest but opened up to show a photo of Alice and Jasper then on the other side the Cullen crest.
The moment of truth I thought as I stepped in front of the one person I loved the most, "Edward…" I smiled as I said his name "will you please like the rest of your family take the crest I personally designed you can say no" he looked me in the eyes as a smile formed on his face and then he spoke…
"How could I say no to you love?" I opened the last box and showed him the new crest also the same as Carlisle's, Emmett's and Jasper's but this one had a photo on me and him with the words 'so the lion fell in love with the lamb' under the photo, also his was a green but the words are navy blue.
"Thank you" I whispered and tip toed so I could give him a kiss on the lips which he happily returned.
"Thank you, all of all for expecting the new crest even though you don't need the crest to be a part of this family it just didn't feel right you not having one" I was about to say everyone could now have fun and enjoy them-sleeves but Alec tapped me on the shoulder holding a box in his hand.
"we thought as now you are back with Edward we should re-do yours" he said as he opened the box "Edward helped us design most of it" it was beautiful, a long necklace like Rose's which had a locket that had a photo of me and Edward inside and the Cullen crest on the other side I gasped when I saw that, but next to the locket was two charms a crystal heart and on the other charm the words 'so the lion feel in love with a lamb' if I could cry I would be crying a river of happiness right now.
"We are a part of your family but now you are also a part of ours and so is the rest of your family" Edward whispered in my ear, I turned to look at him…
"Thank you" Edward put the necklace around my neck and I pulled him in for a very sweet kiss.
The Princess has truly returned.
