A/N: Here's chapter seven. Sorry it's short, I've had tons of people PMing me about uploading the new chapter so, blame them for how short it is this time. :p Next chapter will be longer, and maybe, just maybe in the next chapter Isabella and one of her mates will meet for the first time.
A/N #2 : Lol... It seems as the chapters continue, I keep forgetting to tell you guys things. "My" Isabella is not pale like the Bella in the movies/books. She's of Italian heritage and has a slight accent, too. Just thought I'd put that out there.
Disclaimer : All the mistakes are mine - I apologize in advance. I don't own Twilight... If I did, Leah would not be the only female shifter.

(Isabella's PoV)
Knowing we would not arrive at our destination for a few hours, I decided to kill the time by getting lost in my thoughts...Although it was only a week and some days since the assault happened, I still felt oddly detached from what occurred; emotionally at least. I am so grateful that Mamma took away the pain, but I wish I felt something, even if it was just physical pain. I wanted to feel something. Anything.
After I woke up curled in my mothers arms, I never asked what became of the man who violated me; I didn't care to know. Just as long as I will never have to see his face again. It's hard enough I could not get his image out of my head when I occasionally closed my eyes, or drifted off to sleep. Noticing where my thoughts have led me yet again, I opened my eyes and concentrated on my breathing.
I promised myself that I will not let my rapist consume my thoughts. So with that in mind, I opened the blinds and looked outside. I was greeted with the cloudy weather I was warned I would see a lot of. Forks, Washington was not what I imagined, but then again I don't know what I imagined since I've never visited the United States. It's nothing like what they talked about on the TV. I was told by Pappa that he spoke to a Coven that resides here, and told them about me. Not what happened, but just that there was a threat and it was best for me to move for safety reasons.
Pappa told me that they would also be keeping an eye out for me, especially their 'adopted' kids since I will be attending school with them next week. "To blend in", my parents said. I still don't understand why vampires would chose to go to school. It must be really hard being around all of those beating heart. Ah, I forgot, Pappa said they are vegetarian vampires and drink only from animals. Jeesh, can someone say oxymoron. Forgetting the Jane was sitting across from me this whole time, I was jarred out of my thoughts my the sound of her voice.
"We're here Princess" Jane said solemnly from her seat across from me.
I will have to have to talk to her once we reached the house, I can tell she still blames herself even after her talk with Mamma. I'm not saying, I already forgave and forgotten what happened, but I'm not going to let allow it to affect me. At least until I understand my feelings better.
"Grazi, Jane, and you don't have to call me Princess. Isabella is just fine" I said while while looking at her downcast eyes.
"I prefer to address you as your title" Was her reply. Sighing, I let it go for the time being.
An hour and a half later after landing, we were all standing in front of a one story house. No, mansion. From the front, I could tell it was huge. At least 7,000 sq ft, huge. While the others went to go familiarize themselves with our temporary residents, I headed straight for the garage. I wasn't happy about being separated from my parents but I was happy Mamma got me a car, several by the looks of it. My choices were a midnight blue Corvette C7, dark purple Chevy Camero, black Range Rover Edge, with white leather and last, a pink, white and blue BMW HP2 Sport motorbike. I know the last one was Mamma's doing. She knows those are my favorite colors. Walking back into the house, I looked around and chose the east wing bedroom as mine.
The bedroom was about six hundred square feet in size. On the far side of the room, there was a ceiling to floor window, that looked out to the courtyard, and a king size bed that sat in the middle of the room, against the wall. Opposite side of the bed was a large flat screen tv that was mounted on the wall, and under it was a cherry wood colored dresser. Walking into the closet, I took a quick survey of my clothes. Different varieties of bottoms; skinny jeans, shorts, capris, bermudas. The blouses were gorgeous. Crop tops, ruffled tanks, long sleeves. All the clothes were organized in type first, then color. The shoes were no different. Sneakers, sandals, heels, wedges, you name it.
I didn't hear Jane come in behind me so when she started talking, I couldn't help but let out a mini scream.
"Princess it seems Master has forgotten to include school supplies, so Sevyn and I will go into town while you are sleeping and get the necessary requirements" she said, not at all bothered by the scream.
"Jane, I don't blame you. I believe everything happens for a reason" I just hope the same rule applies to this situation "Who knew it had to happen like this for my parents to finally allow me to visit America?" I joked, trying to ease the tension between us. It seems to have worked because she cracked a small smile. Pulling her into a hug, I rested my forehead on top of her shoulder, leaning down a little due to our height difference.
"I love you, sister" I murmured into her ear.
"You too, princess" she said while standing on the toes of her feet and kissing me on my cheek.
"I want to come with you to town; in fact, we all should go, to familiarize ourselves with this place a little more. Plus I could use something to eat. I want to try that sandwich with meat and cheese between the bread. What was it? A cowburger?"
Hearing the people in the house laugh at my lame joke put everybody, once again, at ease. I told them that I was going to take a quick shower and change into one of my new outfits before heading out. Thirty minutes later, I was freshly showered and changed into jean shorts with white cotton lace design at the bottom, a white tank top and a pink crop top over it. Hopping in the back middle seat of the Rover, I started the conversation that needed to be discussed, so we could have our story straight.
"Okay, since Sevyn and I both have Italian features, we're going to pass as sisters, si? And Felix will be the older brother of Jane, and then of course Tal will be our legal guardian since in human years she looks twenty-five" Getting 'yes' and 'nods' in returned, I continued. "Who will accompany me to school when it's sunny?" I asked after a minute.
"We will stay out of sight, but close enough to get to you in case something happens" Sevyn said with the same slight Italian accent similar to mine. The similarities continued from there. We both had light brown hair and were both tall; Sevyn being only an inch taller than me. Us pretending to be sisters will be believable.
In no time, we were pulled outside of the mall in Seattle. Exiting the vehicle, my 'body guards' flanked both of my sides. Almost every person we passed on out way inside the mall, did a double take at us. Not to sound cocky, but we knew we were beautiful. Living in the castle, I seldom witnessed people starring at me, even though I sometimes caught their stares, I mean, I knew I was pretty but all this starring was starting to get to me. Feeling a comforting hand on my shoulder, I tried to refrain from tensing. Tossing a grateful smile at Felix, I ignored the looks and continued walking, my mini family surrounding me.

Next time on My Pulse, Our Hearts :
"Do you like this one Tal?" I questioned the vampire who was watching me shop. This must be incredible boring for her, I thought. Before I got a chance to ask her if she wanted to go to another store, I felt this sudden urge to turn around and when I did. WOW. Standing before me was a blonde goddess wearing skin tight jeans, a halter top and fuck me heels. Swallowing, I checked her out from head to toe again. Wait, I checked out a girl? No, I just checked out a woman and something told me it was perfectly okay to do it to this specific one. At least if I were to go by the knowing look on her face. It wasn't until Jane touched me on my shoulder and whispered in my ear did I break the intense eye contact we were giving each other.
"Are you okay, Princess?"
"Hm? Oh, yes. I'm fine" I replied in a breathy voice. The blonde still having an effect on me.
A/N #2 : So who do you guys think the blonde is? Irina or Rosalie? Leave a review!
***For those who are leaving me PMs and reviews about who's Isabella's mate, the answer is BOTH Irina and Rosalie. Irina, Rosalie, and Isabella will be in polygamous relationship. ***
