A/N: I forgot to mention it last chapter, but as some of you can see I changed Isabella physical characteristics, such as her height, eye color, and I even made her hair color a lighter shade of brown.
A/N#2 : Was going to post this chapter earlier this week, but I just got around to it. Sorry, folks who were waiting. Twas my Birthday. After all, you only turn 21 once. -does a happy dance-
Spoiler : In this chapter I made Irina Delani coven leader instead of Tanya.
Disclaimer: All mistakes are mine, but not the characters. If I owned Twilight, Charlisle would be gay for Charlie.

I ran out the door with no explanation, hopefully my family would understand. I just couldn't take the fact that other people knew what my mate looked like and I didn't. All I have is a mental image and even I know that when the day arrives when I see her for the first time, the image in my head will not do her justice. I don't even know the girl and I know I would kill for her if anymore harm came her way. Feeling a growl in the back of my throat, I forced myself to could I feel this strongly about someone who I have yet to meet. I wonder how she became the Princess and why the Kings were sending her here to protect her ? Will they accompany her too? Will she go to school with us, or would she just hide the entire time ? How long will she be staying for? Sitting on the floor of my favorite meadow, I thought of a life with me and my mate, Isabella. i don't know how long I stayed sprawled out on the meadow ground, but I was soon interrupted by a stench I knew all too well; mutt.
Jumping to my feet, I saw that I was surrounded by three of the Quileute mutts. Great. Releasing a growl of my own, I asked them what they were doing on our side of the treaty. I hope Alice saw this and the others were coming. Jasper taught all of us how to fight since he had experience, but even a vampire with fighting skills was no match for three shape shifters. All I could do until the others came was buy time. The one I recognized as the Alpha, Jacob, started shifting.
"Leech" he sneered once he finished shifting to his human form.
"Jacob, what are you doing on this side? You're in violation of the treaty. I could kill you for that" I said calmly, trying not to anger him.
"We just want answers"
"For?"
"For?! Don't act coy. We can smell your type from miles away and there's several of your kind here in Forks, and if I find out it has anything to do with you Cullens, you'll be sorry" he spat.
Not giving me a chance to ask my own questions about the smell of this new vampire in town, he shifted and started running in the opposite direction, the two other wolves running close behind him.
Knowing I wouldn't get the answers I needed by just standing there starring after the wolves, I started making my way home. Before I even stepped into the doorway of the mansion, I was tackled to the ground by a head full of blonde hair.
"Rose!" came the voice above me.
Laughing, I opened my eyes to see a smiling Irina Dealani straddling my waist. "Not that I mind being under you Rina, but what are you doing here?"
"We just wanted to visit"
Tucking a blonde lock of hair behind her ear, I sat up in a sitting position with her still straddling my waist.
"Did someone miss us?" I teased.
"Haha, no" was her reply. Pretending to pout, I started to turn my face away from hers. I almost smiled in triumph when as anticipated, she grabbed my chin gently and kissed it.
"Don't pout, little one" she said. Leaning in, I was about to give her a kiss when we were interrupted.
"Ooooh! Didn't anybody ever tell you guys that three makes a party" Kate said, while pretending to take off her shirt.
"Oh yeah!" said a booming voice that could only belong to Emmett.
"Why don't we all go inside?" Charlisle said.
Once we were all inside, I was greeted by Tanya and my best friend, her mate, Avia. After all the hello's were done, we sat down in the living room and made small chat.
"The wolves from La Push cornered me this afternoon. That's why I came home" I said after a break of silence.
Irina immediately tensed beside me and started to search my body with her eyes, looking for any damage they might have done to me. Reassuring her, I placed my hand on her thigh and squeezed gently, letting her know that I was alright. Once I felt her relax, I turned my head to the person who was standing beside the arm of the couch.
"It seems like I am going to have to talk with the Elders. Until then, you guys are welcome here as long as you want, you know where everything is" Charlisle said.
"Actually Charlisle, we are just here to visit for a few hours" Tanya said.
"Well if you guys do change your mind, you know where the guest rooms are"
With that, everybody went to their respected bedrooms, leaving just Iriana, Avia, Tanya and I. Kate leaving with Edward and Alice.
Looking over to Avia, I was once again struck with her beauty. She stood at a proud 5'6, with auburn hair and a cute button nose.
Facing Avia, I asked, "How are you and Tanya? I'm due for a visit to Alaska"
"We're excellent" was her reply. "We are actually thinking of touring Europe for a month"
"Oh? When?"
"We're not sure" Answered Tanya. "Maybe in a weeks time"
"Soooo, sorry to break up this idle chat but it's been months since I've last saw Rosalie and as you all know, I have some serious pent up sexual problems" Irina said while standing up. Offering her hand down to me, I clasped it and allowed her to help me up. Once again, we were interrupted by Kate.
"Wait for me guys!" she yelled from somewhere in the house. A growl was her response. I don't know if it was from me or Irina, but Kate got it if the muttered "sheesh" was anything to go by.

After wiping Isabella off and burning the clothes she had on, I carried her to the throne room where my family was talking about Forks, Washington. After listening to the plan about changing her scent so it would be harder for Victoria to follow, I couldn't help but feel skeptical. But since it was the only plan we had at the moment, who was I to complain. Waiting for Isabella to wake up was the hardest part. Aro and I had no idea what she remembered, and if she did, how she would react. Deciding to do something while Isabella was still sleeping, I called for Jane.
"Come in" I told her.
"Mistress" She half sobbed.
I did not blame Jane at all and after I told her so, it looked like she still didn't want to believe me, so I told her of our plan about Forks and how if she wanted the job, I would like her to accompany Isabella and resume her job as her protector. After getting confirmation that she would sooner die than let any harm come to the Princess again, she said bye and practically fled the room.
Looking down at my baby girls face, I started stroking her face and singing her an Italian lullaby I use to sing to her when she was a baby. Listening to her heart speed upon, I knew she was coming to, and I tighten my hold on her.
Opening her eyes wide, she launched herself closer to me.
"Mamma!" She cried. "Why Mamma, why?"
We cried together for over an hour until she calmed down enough for me to explain the situation with Victoria and the Newborn army, and about her having to move to Forks for her protection with Jane, Demitri, Sevyn, and Talia.
Surprisingly she took it well, I can tell she didn't let all her emotions out, and she was holding it in, but I didn't push the subject.
"Since you have to move from the home you called for seventeen years, while you were sleeping, I had your uncles purchase a house for you and the guards, a couple cars and a wardrobe"
"Oh, Mamma. You didn't have to get me all of those things. You know I don't blame you, right?" Isabella asked me.
Looking into her blood shot eyes. I almost let a sob escape. I guessed she sensed my inner turmoil because her arms tightened around me.
"No, Cara. We're just trying to make it as pain free as we can. We want you to be comfortable while you're there. Plus you'll need the clothes for Forks High School"
Expecting her to protest, I was surprised when she crawled onto my lap and kiss me on the cheek.
"I don't mind enrolling in school, Mamma. I'll do anything to help" She said.
"Oh my darling, I love you so much" I told her.
One week later...
(Isabella's PoV)
Before I knew it, we were getting ready to say our goodbyes to my parents. I wish we had more time, a week went by quickly.
"You'll miss my sent, huh Mamma? What was it?" I asked, knowing full well what I smelt like. I just wanted to lift up her spirits.
"Wild cherries" She started.
"And vanilla" I finished.
We shared a laugh together. Walking down to the underground tunnels, Sevyn was touching just about every part of me. Giving the circumstances that occurred less than a week ago, I tried not to flinch every time her hand came in contact with my skin. In order for her to change my entire scent, it was necessary, unfortunately.
Sevyn's gift is really cool I think. Her gift allows her to change her or anyone else's scent. I think its perfect if you just want to disappear, which in this case is the plan. As soon as she finished changing my sent, all of us reached the end of the tunnel. From there we are suppose to take a flight of stairs that leads us to my parents private airstrip.
"What do I smell like now, Mamma?" I question curiously.
"Hm, you smell crisp. Like rainfall and Pine wood and another smell I can't place"
"The unidentifiable smell you can't place, I did that on purpose" Sevyn said from her spot near me.
"Alright, mi armor. Your jet is ready, come say bye to your Pappa and me"
Hugging first Mamma, then Pappa, I made them promise that they were going to call me during the flight and when I landed, I then turned around and started walking up the stairs, not once looking back, because I didn't want my parents to see the tears in my eyes.

For the next chapter when Isabella will be in Forks, Irina won't be there. The Delani's were only visiting the Cullens for a few hours. Don't fret though, they'll be back. The question is when...dun dun dun
Coming up next on My Pulse, Our Hearts :
"I want to come with you to town, in fact, we all should go, to familiarize ourselves. Plus I could use something to eat. I want to try that sandwich with meat and cheese between the bread. What was it? A cow burger?"
Hearing the people in the house laugh at my lame joke put everybody at ease. I told them that I was go into change my clothes before heading out. After changing into jean shorts with a tank top and a pink crop top over it, I hoped in the back middle seat of the Rover and started the conversation that needed to be discussed so we can have our story straight.
Until next time,
~S
