It had been a few weeks since Bella's came down with me, she and the Boy's got along swimmingly. David has really taken to Bella, but they all treat Bella like their sister-especially after she became a full vampire. They had taken her to go bar hopping while I watched Laddie, we only had two more week before I moved everyone up to Forks. David and Marko were the only ones willing to go at first, Bella convinced Dwayne and Paul after giving them the 'puppy eyes'-got to love the person who invented that.
"Grandmama Vlatka, can we watch Star Wars, please?" Smiling at my grandbaby, "Fine but we are watching episode four first." He nodded before running into the living room carrying a large bowl of popcorn. Smiling I make my way into the large living space, the house itself was quite large able to house everyone in their own beds, well Paul and Marko shared-they were mates after all.
"Grandmama Vlatka, why are we moving?" Laddie, poor Laddie he was around 40 but stuck in a 13 year-old body. Thankfully for our kind we are able to handle the slower aging process.
"Because Bella's mate is there with his family, we are moving there so they can be together. Not only that people here are getting a little, suspicious of us." The Boys have been in this area for so long they were getting bored, though the people were fearful of them.
"Will we have to go to school?" Laddie's eyes bright at the thought of going to school again.
"Yes, all of you will be, I may just to keep an eye on the older boys." Laddie laughed at the idea of his Grandmama watching his brothers, yelling at them when they were bad or something to that effect.
"Okay" Laddie quieted down just as the movie started. We watch Star Wars well into the night. I need to get them on a better schedule, or at least a school one. Just as we ended the second Star Wars the Boys and Bella came stumbling through the backdoor, Bella was hanging off David and Dwyane while Marko took Paul straight to their room. Thank the Gods for sound proof walls- well more liked muffled but hey small favors.
"What are you doing back to early? I thought you would be out until tonight? This is your farewell party after all." The Boys wanted to take Bella to every bar, sight, ride, and anything they could think of before we left for Forks. I sent Laddie to his room to sleep, which thankfully was on a different floor from the two mates.
"We did, we went through bars a little fast 'cause all the fights Bella caused." David smiled at the thought of the fights, I know him he loves a good fight-even with humans. He was careful though, humans are so fragile.
"Hey, I did nothing but dance, you and Dwyane were the ones throwing punches." Bella spoke well for being shit-faced drunk-the Boys are trying to get me up to speed on the way people speak in this time. The two put Bella on the couch, David sat next to her while Dwyane walked down the hall.
"That was dancing? I thought that was sex with clothes on!" Dwayne's deep voice rang from the kitchen then as he walked back into the room.
"Hey!" Bella looked to the dark haired male, he merely smirked at her while handing her and David a water and taking the space next to her. The two began making faces at each other, while it was hard to get drunk we can but, it last a very short time.
"Either way we did everything we wanted to do-and everyone!" David was definitely a ladies man. Though he has grown up since I took over the coven. He was the oldest and a somewhat favorite of mine-though there is no real favorites. It had more to do with his personality, he is a lot like my older brother who would always watch over me, he was also the one who taught me how to fight.
"Really David, I thought there was no one left in this area, let alone state." I said picking up the mess Laddie and I made while having a movie marathon.
"Ahh Mama, it is summer break there are new girls here." They only call me Mama when they want something or trying to get out of trouble. Though they call me just Mama Vlatka when they need help or in trouble-not with me.
"Of course how silly of me." Rolling my eyes I walked down the hallway and into the kitchen. I could hear the three laughing and carrying on in the livingroom. Once I walked back into the room Bella looked to me, catching my eyes.
"Mama why did you change me?" Ahhh, that question they all have that question at sometime or another. With Dwyane it was because David made friends with him then found out he was dying, so he changed him. Then David found Paul in an alley-way stabbed and mugged so he changed him. And when Paul found Marko-his mate- he asked David to change him which he did. Laddie his parents almost beat him to death before Dwyane got to him. With them it was a little simple compared to Bella.
"Isabella, I have been alive for a very long time and with age comes a sort of...Sense. When I meet someone I tend to get some sort of feeling, I guess you can say a read on them. There are some people I just do not like and others I love, I have learned that these feeling are in a way my power." I pause letting her take that in, before I went on.
"Do you know when I first saw you? You were just getting off the plane from where I assume was your home in Arizona, when I looked at you, you looked at me. When I saw your eyes I just knew I had to keep an eye on you. The more I watched and learned the more I knew you had to be a vampire." She nodded playing with her empty water bottle.
"Now when you got hurt it was because I had to come home and check on the boys. Leaving you alone with them for two days leads you being reckless and get chased by a vampire." I say thinking back that she would be okay for a few days- a week max. I have learned my lesson. Though she is no longer human so my worry is considerably less; but I worry for all my children.
"So it's like my shield, David's illusinsions, Dwayne's teleportation, and Paul's weather knowledge thing." We really need to figure out that Paul's power is called, I nodded while
"Well seeing as you are here tonight, we will pack and leave a few days early. The house is done, so I was thinking of letting all of you letting Bella show you around. Bella from the information that I have the Cullen's resident psychic has seen them returning a week after the school starts. So you will have three weeks- maybe less with us moving sooner- to yourselves."
"I want to see my Dad again, so I am all for it." Bella made her way to her room, which was the second floor with Laddie.
"Yeah, I think that sounds fun. We will get started when we wake up." David and Dwyane also starting going to their rooms, both on the third floor but opposite ends. Paul and Marko where ground floor near the ball room, while I was in the basement.
"When will the moving truck get here?" Dwayne asked before going up the stairs.
"Oh I re-furnished the house so just pack what you can't live without." I heard Bella and David call out conformations while Dwyane bobbed his head in acceptance.
"Goodnight you three!" I called before walking to my other two boys room. The closer I got I could hear them just talking- thank Gods. I rapped my knuckles on the door, Marko was the one to open the door, in boxers-again small favors.
"We are packing tomorrow and maybe leaving tomorrow, so sleep." I could hear Paul's cry of dismay- and I do not think it was for the moving. "Sleep both of you."
"Yes, Mama." They both called after me as I walked back to work on packing the kitchen. Being as old as I am I no longer need as much sleep, I sleep once every few days.
By the time everyone was up, even Laddie sleep till everyone else, the sun was just setting behind the blue ocean.
"So Bella, not that I want to push you but, will you tell us about the family of your mate?" I had made breakfast for everyone before packing up the kitchen. I may not taking it with me but I am putting everything away- humans will break in.
"Well...Yeah I can" Bella pulled herself together, even though she knew she would see them again it stung that they just left her.
"My Mate is one of the two unmated vampires. Edward is extremely attractive he similar to the mythical Greek god, Adonis. His untidy hair retains the unusual bronze shade, eyes liquid gold, and read minds. He is tall at 6'2 he-" She would keep going, she had the glassy look in her eye. We all had heard about him at one time or another we do not need more information.
"Okay enough! Move on, please sister of mine." Marko yells, the rest thankful.
"Right umm, the other unmated vampire is Jasper had honey blond hair that falls just above his collar. He is muscular, but lean, from what Edward had told me he has many scars on his body, face, neck and jaw from the bites of other vampires. He is kind though he wanted to change me, said it would be easier if he did want to kill me." They got a laugh out of that. she still smelled the same just not as human-y as before.
"Alice is very petite with pixie features though, I think she is taller than you Mama. Her hair is cropped short, spiky, and inky black and all over the place it seems, she can see the future so be careful when playing games, it changes when you change your mind. Her mate is Michael, a viking vampire, he looks the part. He is big, bigger than Emmet but he is really gentle with his family. He has shoulder length blond hair, and a slight beard going on- like you David." Everyone began cleaning up after themselves-I taught them well.
"Emmet is a big teddy bear too, handsome with dimples and slightly curly, dark brown hair that almost looks black, giving him a childish look. He is really strong like a newborn. His mate Rosalie, is very pretty even by vampire standards. She figure similar to a model's. She has long wavy blond hair that falls halfway down to the middle of her back that perfectly suits her golden eyes." David smirks when Dwayne elbows him.
"I wouldn't hit on her if I was you, Emmet maybe friendly but he would kill you for looking, let alone thinking about his mate that way. Not just that she is really narcissistic and self-centered but, she does love her family." David just keeps smiling, he wouldn't do anything but get Emmet riled up so Rosalie could see how much he loves her. He does that a lot, I know he is lonely though.
"The two 'parents' are Carlisle and Esme. Carlisle has collar-length blond hair, slight but muscular and has a slight English accent, he looks like a movie star. His is very caring, he works as a doctor seeing as he can control his thirst very well. His wife Esme is also very caring and sweet she will treat you like one of her kids the moment you walk through the door." Bella smiled at a past memory.
"Esme has waving, caramel-colored hair. Her face is heart-shaped with dimples she makes me think of the silent movie stars, like Carlisle. And I think that is everyone." Bella finished just in time as the doorbell rang though the large home.
"Ohh! That would be Bella's new car and the moving truck for our stuff." I clapped and skipped to the front door yelling I was coming.
"Yes thank you. Will there be a driver for the moving truck or will one of us have to drive it?" I asked the man after signing some papers.
"N-no ma'am there is t-two people th-that will help y-you m-move what you n-need and drive it there for y-you." I could not tell if it was me he was stuttering at me or Dwayne standing over me, no doubt giving him looks. The Boys are very protective of me, Bella is a bit two but the Boys do the same to her.
"Oh good! I need help moving some of the Boys' furniture that they could just not live without. DAVID! MARKO! PAUL!" I turned to the house to yell at the lazy bums, "They can tell you what they want to keep and what to bring to the truck." I know they will make the two humans do all the heavy lifting, then end up doing it themselves.
"Do I need to drive you back or is someone picking you up?"
"No ma'am I had someone follow me. So I wouldn't inconvenience you or your family." Now Dwayne was gone he was a little more bold. Thanking him and sending him on his way when I heard Laddie yell something about his comics.
"MAMA!" Laddie yells as he barrels from the stairs and into my arms.
"What Sweetie?" I calmly ask as he pulled me toward his room.
"I want to take my comics but I can't get them back into the box right and one of the guys helping us is trying to get Bella's attention and she asked me to ask you to help." With the last part we had made our way up. As I look to the right I see that one of the movers standing in front of Bella's door. I could feel, from my connection with Bella, that she was uncomfortable.
"David will you come and help Bella out, and stay with her before I have blood all over my clean house." I say just loud enough for my oldest grandbaby to hear me as I walked with Laddie to his room to help with sorting out his comics.
"Yes Mama." Hearing David ask the man to move I calmed down and quickly got Laddies stuff together.
A two hours later we were ready to leave, Bella had yet to see her new car. I gave to movers the address for the new house and sent them on their way. I pulled Bella out to the front yard where a tarp was over her new car- well motorcycle.
"Tada!" I pulled it off to reveal a red Honda 550cc, she made a high pitched noise and jumped on me giving me a hug.
"I love it!"
"Yeah well you liked riding with the boys so much I thought you needed a bike of your own." She quickly laid herself on the bike, a low whistle from each of the boys showed how much they liked the sight,
"Ha-ha! LETS GO!" I laugh while pulling Laddie to my 1980's El Camino, it was completely redone, but the engine need more work that I had yet to get to- I just wanted it faster.
"Come on Laddie can ride with me!" Bella yelled, her and Laddie made the 'puppy eyes'-damn the man who made that.
"Fine! But call if you want to sleep and Boys stay with Bella." I give each of them a stern look.
"Yes, Mama, we will."
"I expect you all to be at the house not less than three days from now. You all have your credit cards?" I could not help but mother them a little, this was the first time I moved them anywhere.
"Yes, we promise to call if anything goes wrong and you better do the same. We will be fine don't worry so much we are just moving a state north, not that big of a deal." David gave me a hug before he got on his bike. They all gave me hugs telling me they would see me soon, and left yelling the whole time.
