New Beginnings

After Carlisle turned off the television, I called Jacob. He picked up on the first ring.

"Bella? Is everything okay? I saw the news….what are you going to do? What about Charlie? What about-

"Jake, I need you to listen to me for a sec. I need you to take Charlie into your own care. Make him move into your home. Keep him safe and away from Forks. If he stays with us, he may feel the need to go back to his job. He'll..die," My voice cracked on the last word.

"Crap. The world is going to end. Does this mean I get to kill more vampires?" I wanted to rip his head off…too bad he was on the phone. This was not a joking matter. Jacob should understand that. "But I'll take care of him, don't worry Bells." I breathes a sigh in relief.

"I knew I could count on you Jake."

"That's what friends are for-besides annoying the hell out of 'em," I could feel the smile returning to my face. Jake always knew how to make most of my worries go away. I quickly hung up the phone and turned to face Edward.

"It's bad, isn't it?" I didn't really want to know- but I had to ask. It has only been a few minutes since vampires had made themselves known and the world was forming into chaos.

"Yes. The volturi have already established building slave trade centers." He shuddered and continued, "And I imagine it won't take long for the volturi to capture most humans and bring them to eternal doom. According to Alice, most vampires that have witnessed to the volturi last year are already capturing humans of their own. This is only the beginning and it will get much more worse. Lucky us, we get to live forever and watch the humans tremble with fear, every single day of their lives,"

"How is this going to change our family?" Another answer I wasn't to happy to hear.

"That is a question that only time can answer. I can assume that we will take in as many humans as we can. Or we can feed and care for the ones in hiding."

"Humans have already gone into hiding!" Don't they know they won't last a second!" I cut him off. I was beyond angry- stupid Volturi for ruining every human in the world's life! It was one thing to take away my happiness- that I can handle- but the innocent? I had no idea the volturi can stoop that low. Edward didn't answer my question, all he did was look out the window.

"Carlisle and Esme have took off, already trying to help wherever needed. Emmett and Rosalie have gone to keep Charlie safe until Jacob comes. Jasper is comforting Alice when she gets a disturbing vision. Renesmee is watching the news. I don't know if I'm completely okay with her watching the news with what is happening but I know she understands what's going on."

He gazed into my eyes. I was dazzled into silence. The warm liquid, melting pools of gold…..I was mesmerized, and couldn't tear my eyes away from his. My pale fingers caressed his cheek, trying to comfort and take away any sadness. Angels don't deserve to weep. Even though I wasn't human, there was that electricity there. Something that showed the bond between my adoring husband and me. He wrapped his strong arms around me, to protect me from any danger. Though I wasn't the one in danger, It was my friends, father, mother, everyone.

I couldn't speak. No words were able to form in my head. I didn't care that my life would change. I tried to remember all the good times with my father, mother and my human friends. Friends that had their whole lives ahead of them. I felt like I was choking, my eyes dry. This was crying in a vampire body. No tears, only the tears my dead heart could make.

I was scared to go outside. I didn't want to know how unsettling the outside world was like. All I wanted was to stay protected in Edward's arms. And hope that the world will return to be a sane place again. But I couldn't hide forever. Though I had would have been able to- I had an eternity to live. Edward, whispering words of comfort in my ear- was sobbing as well. He did care for humans, or he would have never ended his rebellious years. I was glad he returned to Carlisle and Esme. Or my whole life would have changed. And not for the better.

I don't know how many hours have passed. But my mind had only organized my emotions- not calm them down. At the same time I was feeling depressed, worried, angst, and horror. And of course my love for Edward and my family. But I also felt pain- the same pain that every Cullen was feeling. Our family wanted to preserve human life. Now, it will be nearly impossible. And according to Alice- most vampires were on board with the whole humans are worthless idea. It was sickening and nauseating. And vampires can't throw up.

I had to see what was happening. I had to understand what my life or existence will be like now. If Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett were strong enough to go outside, then so will I. I slowly untangled myself from Edward, avoiding his look of confusion.

"I'll be right back. I need to see what's going on. Don't follow me please. I need to be alone." Edward opened his mouth to object but closed it. He finally said,

"Hurry back to me, Love." I gave him a soft smile and walked out the door in a speed a little quicker than a human's.

The outside looked like a warzone. Not with a gray sky, or dirt everywhere. Just the fact that I could feel the fear of the people nearby. There were bullets- one way to annoy, not kill, a vampire. The streets were cleared. No one was outside. There were screams from a distance, and a lot of bloodless bodies on the pavement.

I was far away from home- close to my father's house. I scrutinized the area. I could smell out one vampire nearby. Not a scent I recognize. Then multiple shrieks broke the silence. My instincts told me to get away. I ran towards the screaming.

It was a painful sight to see. There was a mother and a daughter holding hands. The girl looked about eight years old. She had so much life left to live, fall in love and have a job, grow old, and her life could be almost over.

Standing over them was a clean, well dressed vampire. His eyes were a dull crimson. He had scars tracing his body. He was probably a southerner like Jasper. No not like Jasper! I arued with myself, Jasper actually cares about humanity!

He was probably going to kill the mother and keep the child. If I really had a soul, I would not separate a family. I would not be able to handle to be away from mine. The simple thought made my dead heart rip into pieces. I ran forward.

"Stop!" my voice was an angry hiss. The male looked annoyed at me.

"What do you want? I saw these things first!" My eyes narrowed at things. This was way worse than I thought. I had to think quickly if I wanted to save them. Should I say they are my slaves? That I want to buy them? Trade them? Hmmm…..I couldn't separate them. I would buy them and let them go- or take them to my house and feed them, care for them, or whatever they want. I would get both of them. Keeping family together is important.

"I'll buy both of them," I pleaded.

"No way! I saw them first, lady!" I wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"I'll pay you double than what the centers would pay." He studied me for a second and nodded, throwing the humans at the ground.

"Take them. Just give me whatever money you got." I was pretty sure that what I had in my wallet was more than double. But I would rather save the lives than be rich. I threw him what I had and carefully grasped the mother and daughter's hands.

"LET GO OF ME, YOU FILTHY MONSTER! I will NOT be owned!" The little girl kicked and screamed. I didn't know what to do, how to not hurt her.

"Rena, be quiet. I don't want you to be killed," The mother gave me a fearful glance and looked worriedly at her daughter. I knew how she felt. When Renesmee was almost taken away from me by the Volturi last year, my heart nearly exploded. I would make sure they stayed together.

"I won't hurt you. You'll just have to trust me. My family likes to keep humanity safe. We only hunt animals. My father is a doctor at Fork's Community Hospital. We will keep you safe and together. My name is Bella." I tried to look and sound gentle and calm. I could hear their hearts pounding and their quick breathing. Thank God I wasn't a normal newborn vampire.

I could tell they wouldn't trust me- they had a right not to- but they didn't say anything and just followed. I didn't know if I should let them go. I'll feed them first, have Carlisle look at them to make sure they are healthy, and then they can decide if they want to go or not. They didn't say anything the whole walk home- and I didn't offer any topics to talk about. Their eyes just about popped out of their heads when they saw my home.

"Bella?" Carlisle held the door open for me. "Who are your friends?"

"I found them almost about to be killed from another vampire. I 'bought' them so they would be safe. I figured I would bring them home to feed them, let them change, shower or whatever. And maybe you can check them over-if they want- to make sure they are not sick." I stated this too quietly and quickly for the humans to hear.

The two women walked warily into our home.

"My name is Michelle. This is my daughter, Rena. I'm not saying that I….trust you, but if staying here will keep my daughter safe then do whatever you want to me."

"Miss, you don't quite understand. If you want to stay then you are welcome. You will not be forced to do anything. Think of this house as yours. Whatever we have- you have. This home will be a home for protection and care. You do not have to stay." Carlisle said to both Michelle and Rena. Michelle looked wary still, but as she said she will do anything to keep her daughter safe.

"Then we will stay. Thank you, for taking us in." She looked calm. Almost like she trusted us. I needed to remind myself to kick Jasper later. Jasper has the gift to change a person's mood. He can excite a crowd or calm them down. Esme appeared, and led them to where they would stay. The day was nowhere near and end- and this new life would only be the beginning.
