BPOV

Before she shut the door, she spoke, "Hurry up, we all have stuff to talk about." she said, as she turned to shut the door she said "I know we'll be great friends Bells." Then she shut the door.

What a strange family. But nice, they all seemed friendly enough, I just hoped it stayed that way.

Right then, shower. How do I work this thing? I obviously know what a shower is, but this one seems... Complicated. Hmm. I'll just go with the flow, I guess. I eventually started the water (somehow) so that it had a chance to heat up, then stripped off what was left of my clothing and climbed in the shower. The hot water felt good on all the tight muscles in my back.

Oh! My wings! This could be slightly uncomfortable to extract them. I hope they're better from when that douchbag crushed them. I washed first, then grabbed one of the shampoo's that resided on the little shelf bit. Strawberry. It smelled quite nice. I lathered it into my hair, getting all the excess dirt out. I rinsed my hair, placing the shampoo back on the shelf.

I relaxed my back so that it wouldnt be as uncomfortable for the wings to come out, and made sure my mind was set for them to be extracted.

I forced them out groaning at the sensation, it was'nt painful, but it was uncomfortable. Once I had them out, I put them under the spray of water still flowing from the shower head. Once they were clean, I climbed out and dryed off, slipping on the comfortable white summer dress Alice had given me. Thankfully, she had obviously seen my wings in a vision, and had given me a backless dress. I dried my hair the best I could with the towel that I had, then walked out to see Alice sorting some clothes into a pile on her bed. She looked up, but did'nt seem surprised by the big cream-colored feathered things residing on my back.

"Hey Bella," she said, "They're so beautiful." She said in awe motioning to the feathered wings on my back. She walked over to me, reaching out to touch them, but I pulled back slightly. She looked a little hurt, so I rushed to reasure her, "Sorry Alice, but that prick injured them, so they're very delicate at the moment,"

She nodded her head and smiled, quickly replacing the frown with a little grin.

"So, ur, can I have some... Stuff answered now?" I asked unasuredly. Alice had turned back to the clothes strewn across her bed, still sorting them into a neat pile. She spoke to me without turning, "Yeah sure, we'll go down in a sec. These are yours, by the way," She said, stepping away from the clothes, that had only a second ago been in an untidy mess.

I walked over to her, smiling at her then looking towards the small pile. I was glad I had some clothes to my name, and thanked her profusely before we both headed down the stairs.

Alice had led me into a large dining room with a beautiful round mahogany table with ten seats surrounding it. The rest of the Cullens appeared to be waiting on us, and I blushed as thier eyes settled on my giant wings as we walked into the room.

Alice had sat me next to her, with Edward on my other side. Emmett and Rosalie were opposite me, with Jasper sitting next to Alice. Carlisle was at the head of the table, but Esme was standing behind him, her hand on his back. He smiled up at her, then looked out towards the rest of us.

"Ok," Carlisle started, "Would you like to begin, Bella, and tell us what had conspired between you and James before you ran into Edward, literally," He finished with a teasing smile, trying to lift the tension in the room. It worked a little apparently, because I noticed everyone relax minutely around the table.

I grimaced though, because now all eyes were on me. I didnt exactly thrive on attention. You could probably tell.

I took a deep breath, then began to explain.

I explained how I had been suspicious as soon as I found my self in the small town that someone was following me. I explained how I had ran for my life, and how I thought my life had been over at one point, also telling them why my wings didnt look at thier best at the moment. How James had let me escape just so he could carry on playing his sick, twisted game. Then eventually how I had been trying to reach the small town of Forks, then with simply saying that I had ran into Edward, and that he had potentionally saved my life. I smiled at Edward at that point, grateful that he had been there. He smiled back at me, grabbing my hand, squeezing it a little, then letting it drop again.

Everyone was quiet for a moment, then Emmett broke the silence.

"He should'nt of even been on our fucking land anyway, the bastard,"

Esme gasped, quickly scolding him, "Emmett! dont swear like that in front of quests!" I had been smiling, trying to stop myself from giggling, but couldnt help myself. I let out a small giggle. Rosalie smirked slightly, then turned to Esme, "I dont think she gives a damn, Esme." She said amusedly, as she looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back at her.

Carlisle told us to quieten down, and that this was a serious moment that we should all be discussing.

We all settled down, still smiling slightly at Emmetts out burst.

"Alright, alright," said Jasper, and suddenly I felt a little euphoric and calm. Thats happened twice now, everytime after Jasper had spoken. I'll ask Alice later. "Do you know why he was chasing after you Bella? other than the fact that you are what you are, Im not completely sure that was the only reason, to play a game, that is," Carlisle said, taking a small breath, then carrying on, "We've delt with James before-" Carlisle shot an anxious look towards Alice, then carried on, "-and I think we all know how his sick twisted mind works." he finished.

"Well I dont think I wanna' go look for him and ask, to be honest with you, but it could be, urm, my blood? It would be purer than a humans, for the obvious reasons, of course." I said. They all nodded slightly, agreeing with me.

"Yes, I think that would be logical, he looked pretty hungry when I had faced him. I can understand why he'd be after you Bella, not that we would ever hurt you," Edward said, smiling at me. I suddenly heard them all take a little sniff.

Nice.

"Yes, I think we'd all have to agree that you smell quite lovely ma'am," Jasper said, winking. I detected a slight Texan accent lingering in his voice.

Alice suddenly perked up slightly, seeming to just remember something. "Oh! Bella, I wanted to ask you, If you dont mind, but why are you, you know, down here, and not up there?" she said, comically pointing upwards towards the ceiling.

But I was a little embarassed about the answer to that question, and thankfully Edward saved me from answering, "Alice, I think Bella has had a long day, she'll probably want some sleep." He said to her.

Alice nodded, looking at me apologetically for some reasurance that she had'nt upset me or anything. "Its Ok Alice, I just need some sleep, tomorrow though, yeah?" I said, as her face lit up again. She smiled at me, before lifting Jasper out of his seat and tugging him out of the room.

The Cullens all murmered that they should all let me rest, and left me with Edward so he could show me where I'd be sleeping for however long I would be here.

He led me up the stairs, and walked to one of the many doors that were in the hallway. He stopped at the second one from the end. "Well this is where I leave you, Bella. I hope yo have a good night sleep." He smiled, before opening my door for me, and gesturing for me to step in.

I did so, but before I shut the door, I turned to him and smiled murmering a "good night." to him. He smiled, then walked down the hall slightly to what I presumed was his own room.

I shut the door softly, got changed into something that Alice had given me, and got cleaned up in the bathroom that extended from the room.

When I walked back in and climbed into the bed, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

A/n: I hope that was longer. Im not entirely sure. I have a little bit o' writers block at the mo, so what should happen next? School for bella? or...what? Review my fiends and tell tell tell!
