Sorry about the delay but RL completely kicked my ass the last couple of months and I found it hard to write anything but this one flowed pretty well so here we go. This is a transition chapter and shorter than the others but it needed to be done. I wanna thank my pre-readers, I'm sorry I didn't get ya to read this one, was kinda just getting back into it, next one I promise. This hasn't been edited except by me so yeah!
Anyways have at it and see me at the bottom!
Chapter 11- Home
I was still in shock from what I saw in the fountain, well the images the fountain projected. What did they mean? Was it the future I was seeing or something that my own mind conjured? I was so confused and a little scared. I knew that someday I would take over for my aunt but the future the fountain showed appeared to be more recent. I had no idea what to think and I wasn't even sure if my aunt could explain since she never mentioned that the fountain could see the future.
"You okay love?" Edward asked
"Yeah, umm a little shocked but yeah I'm fine" I told him not really sure how to express my feelings about what we just saw
"Don't do that Bella" he sighed
"Do what?" I asked
"Hide your feelings. I may have been gone a while but I can still read your face Bella and you're not good at hiding your feelings. I know there's something wrong, what is it?" he asked and I sighed.
He was right; I wasn't that good at hiding my emotions, especially from him.
"I don't know Edward. I feel terrible that I left my dad and the images we just saw. I don't know what to make of it or if what we saw was real. Was it the future or what my mind wanted to see?" I said
"Bella, love, I think what we saw was just a possible future. You're aunt said that you were the heir to her throne as it were and maybe you will change the supernatural world like your great, great, great, great, grandmother did or you'll just be somewhere and monitor things from there" he said
"Edward, you were in the images too and it looked like I was a vampire. I don't know what any of it means" I almost wailed but went for pouting instead of like the strong, fierceless future head of the witches I was supposed to be.
"Shh love. Bella it'll be fine" he cooed but I shook my head
"No Edward it won't. Don't you see, as much as I want to be like you, this future will take you from your family. I can't do that to you" I was wailing now. I didn't want to lose him but I would let him go for the sake of his family
"Bella, don't you understand? I lived the last eight months without you, I won't do it again. Where you go I go and vice versa. I don't care if it's here, back to Forks or at the top of the North Pole. It's me and you baby from now on. My family are important to me and I love them dearly, but no one comes before you love" he said and my jaw dropped at his term of endearment. He never called me baby, it was so modern and sweet and I loved it.
"I love you" I told him and he smiled as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me and I gasped as his tongue touched my bottom lip and I eagerly granted him access.
He never kissed me this deep before and I practically shook with the force it took me not to push him down to the floor and have my wicked way with him. I pulled back with a gasp as the need for oxygen became too much and he smiled at the glazed look I for sure had on my face.
"Feeling smug are we?" I asked as I shook the last of his dazzling off of me
"I believe I have no idea what you're talking about love" he smirked and I fought the urge to zap him.
"Why you little, you know exactly what you did. Yes Edward, you can still render me speechless with just a mere look and a kiss" I told him sighing as he chuckled.
"Come on, we better find my aunt. I think it's time I head back to Forks" I told him as I clutched his hand and led him out of the room.
We found my aunt and Alice still in the library and I started to rush to tell her what the fountain told me but she shushed me and said "Izzy, whatever Danu showed you is between you, her and Edward if he saw it. Now come on, I'm sure Charlie is going out of his ever loving mind, even though I told the lad that there was nothing to worry about" my aunt said and I nodded.
We made our way out of the castle and was met by my cousin and the rest of my family. I hugged my cousin's wife and tickled Becky and told her not to go scaring poor Ralph anymore, or at least wait until I came back.
"Leaving again are ya lass?" Adrain asked as he hugged me tightly and I nodded
"Good, we needs a witch in America, gotta keep those dogs on a leash" he teased and I laughed hard.
"No worries, next time Paul gets out of line I'll strap a collar on him and tie to a tree" I chuckled
"Excellent. Now Miss Alice, I just wanted to welcome ya to the family, even though you already are so dunna be a stranger, you're welcome whenever ya like. Oh and Edward, I will say again, take care of me cousin but if you hurt her I will give ya a nice blackened tan on that pasty white skin of yers. Got me?" he said puffing out his chest a little and I rolled my eyes again at the pissing contest going on.
"Don't worry Adrian, I wouldn't dream of it" Edward bowed and led me out the door but not before I hugged my aunt tightly and told her I loved her.
"Love you too Izzy. Be careful, the red headed demon is cunning and she's out for blood. Just be careful" my aunt said softly as she kissed my cheek and then hugged Alice and to my complete shock; Edward too.
"Bella, how exactly are we going to get back to Forks. I mean I don't know how close the nearest airport is and I can't really see flights" Alice asked and I just smiled at her and then nodded to my aunt. Looks like I would be trying the teleporting thing that they can do. Not really sure what it was called but my aunt and mother could do it, why not me? It was quicker than in the car with the rainbow tunnel.
I grabbed Edward and Alice's hands and closed my eyes as I tried to visualize the light surrounding us and then Forks, preferably outside my house. When I opened my eyes the blinding light was surrounding us and then just like that, we were in front of my house in Forks.
"That is so damn cool" Alice squealed
"Very cool" Edward agreed and I walked up the steps but realized that Edward and Alice weren't next to me.
"Are you coming?" I asked and they just shook their heads no and my face fell.
"You need to go in alone first Bella, we won't be long I promise" Alice said and I nodded and walked in the door to find my dad on the couch with his head in his hands.
"Hey Dad" I said softly
"Bella, thank god. I've been worried sick. You leave here in the middle of night, no note and then your aunt tells me not to worried that you taking care of some family business. Jesus Bella, don't ever do that to me again, I've gotten more grey hairs the last 24 hours then in all my adult years" he yells while holding me tight.
"Sorry Dad, I had to, well you see" I stammered but my dad let me go and then I heard him roar.
"You, you son of a bitch. This is all your fault. You show up here after all these months. I don't care what you are, no one hurts my little girl" He shouted and reached for his gun.
"Dad, dad nooooo" I shouted but my dad already had his gun cocked and aimed at Edward and the bullet shot out but Edward ducked just in time and had the gun out of my dad's hands and crushed into dust on the floor. It happened so fast I hardly saw it but my dad gasped and collapsed on the couch.
"It's true, I knew you were different but I didn't want to admit it. Renee told me, Dora told me, hell my gut told me but I just, I couldn't" it broke my heart to see my dad, a man who was always so strong struggle for words. I felt so guilty, this was all my fault. First with the zombie state, the moping and then everything with learning what I was and now this. How much more would he be able to take?
"Chief Swan, Charlie, I'm so sorry. You'll never know how sorry I am, but yes I am a vampire, my whole family. This is all my fault. You see I ran into some trouble with the vampire leaders and Bella came to help me" Edward said as he knelt in front of my dad but keeping a safe distance.
"The Volturi" my dad gasped and I was shocked. He knew who they were.
"Dad?" I questioned
"Your mom told me about them, what to recognize if I saw one. She was worried that they might find out that I knew about them. You went there? What were you thinking?" he was
yelling again.
I sat him down and explained everything, well I left out the part about Jake, the pack and the cliff diving, but I did tell him how Alice had shown up because she missed me which Alice confirmed for me when she pranced into the room and kissed my dad on the cheek and then hauled the bullet out of the wall from where the gun went off. I told him how when she was here that we got word that Edward had gone to Italy and was captured by the Volturi and Alice and I left to save him. Okay so I lied, I didn't really think that my father would be happy with me jumping off a cliff on a hunch and then Edward going to Italy to kill himself because he thought I was dead. Nope, not going there.
"Whatever, but still he hurt you Bella" my dad sighed
"I know Dad, but there was some things we both got wrong and we're talking about it and we are going to try to work things out. Please dad, don't be difficult" I pleaded
"Fine, but you're grounded missy, and you" he scolded and pointed at Edward "You hurt her again and I swear I will find a way to end you, got it" and Edward nodded.
A blinding light filled the room and in it's place was my mom. I was shocked, what was she doing here?
"Bella" she cried
"Mom" I yelled and ran to her, still confused but I did miss her.
"Oh Bella, I can't believe you went to Italy. You could have been killed" she scolded but hugged me tightly.
"I know Mom, I'm sorry but I had too" I told her.
"I know, your aunt and I were watching, I was going to come too but Phil was due home shortly and he doesn't know" she said and my dad huffed.
"Dunna be rude Charlie. You found out on a fluke" she spat and my dad laughed.
"Fluke, is that what they're calling it now, back in my day it was called getting drunk" Charlie chuckled and my mom narrowed her eyes and I tried not to laugh as my dad stopped laughing and shrank back a little.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked
"Well, for one I was worried about ya, two, I know yer da here was going to issue a grounding and while I agree with him, well we both know that you can't be" she said, her accent strong and true and my eyes widened. She was right, I needed to be able to leave to the house to take care of Victoria.
"Now Renee, I know she's your daughter too but she lives here and I think she should be grounded" Charlie said.
"Aye, but Charlie, there's more to it. She's gonna be queen, she needs to train and we both know ye nay want that in the house. And there's a threat here in Washington, Bella is the only one who can stop it" my mom explained and I stood there with wide eyes. Was she really going to tell him about Victoria? What the hell was she thinking?
"What the hell are you talking about Ren?" my dad asked
"Ren?" What the hell?
"Charlie, I don't have time to explain everything but our daughter is very special, more than we can comprehend and the threat here in Washington is something only she can stop, well with some help maybe and being grounded is not going to help her. While I agree that she needs to be punished, she also needs to be able to leave if the threat is near" my mother said and Charlie sighed.
"Fine, she goes to school, comes home and then after dinner and her homework done, she can go save the world. But the boy stays away, I don't care what he is, he hurt her and I don't like him, so for the next month I don't want to see his face through my door" my dad spat.
"Fine Charlie" my mom said and then walked over to the hole in the wall and clucked her tongue "Really Charlie, shooting a vampire" she shook her head, kissed my cheek and then disappeared again.
"That is so freaking cool" Alice clapped and I had forgotten they were there. I was too tired to make sense of anything anymore.
"Yeah, sure, cool" my dad scoffed.
"That's enough excitement for me for one night. Bella, I suggest you head to bed, Alice honey, good to see ya again and Edward, don't let the door hit ya on the ass on the way out, the fence would be better" my dad huffed
"DAD!" I screeched
"What, I don't like him and until he proves he's not running again, well just because he's your boyfriend doesn't mean I have to be nice to him" my dad said.
"He's right Bella, I messed up and I will try to make it up to you and him. Why don't you head on to bed, Alice and I will see you later" Edward said and then bent down and whispered "I'll be waiting for you upstairs" he then kissed my cheek and he and Alice left with a wave.
"I really did miss ya Bells" my dad sighed as he hugged me again. "I lost my best friend the other day, I don't want to lose you too" he sniffled and I felt terrible having forgotten all about poor Harry.
"I'm sorry Dad, I know Harry was your best friend. How's his family?" I asked
"Not great, hanging in there, Sue is putting on a brave face but it's just for the kids, I promised Harry I would be there for them through all this so I won't be home that much but that doesn't mean you can go and break your punishment. I want you home every day after school, I don't expect you to cook dinner but you are to have your homework done and chores completed before you go running off and saving the world. Now I'm exhausted and going to bed. See ya in the morning Bells, love ya" he squeezed me one time and then headed upstairs and I went to the kitchen for a drink.
I then headed to my room and saw Edward sitting on my bed. He kissed me quickly and told me to go get ready for bed. I smiled and left to take a shower and then quickly ran back to my room and fell asleep on Edward's chest while he hummed my lullaby and for the first time in months, I didn't dream.
So what did ya think. I always wondered what would have happened in New Moon when they came back from Italy and I figured I would write my own version. I had a blast writing it. Okay well that's all for me, keep an eye out for an update on my other fic, Blood Trails. The writing mojo is back so I should be updating a bit more frequent. Also I'm working on a collab with Oona4 so keep an eye for that too.
That's all for me, thanks for reading!
