Bella POV

"Right hand green" I say, after spinning the twister wheel.

Me, Jane and Alec are playing twister in the games room. Demetri is in the throne room on duty. It's been a couple of days since I officially became Jane and Alec's mother. And I love them more everyday as any mother would. As well as since Demetri gave me the necklace his family have had since his great grandparents, and true to my word I kept it on, as I intend to wear it forever.

"Bella?"

I look up from where I am towards the entrance doorway to see Felix looking at me in question,

"Yes Felix?" I ask, looking at him curiously,

"You're being asked for in the throne room" he says, from this I sigh and roll my head back in annoyance, this was supposed to be my day off. I was working all day yesterday and I didn't get to see Jane and Alec until five this morning.

"I'll be there in five minutes Felix" I say, with this I hear him walk away,

"Aw man, why did you have to be summoned now?" asks Alec, as he and Jane begin to maneuver so that they can get off me and me from under them.

"Sorry guys, but as soon as this business is done we can go hunting together" I say, with this they nod and give me a hug together.

"I'll see you both soon" I say, kissing them on their heads and then make my way into mine and Demetri's room. I get my black cloak out of our wardrobe and put it on and pull my hood on and then quickly make my way to the throne room.

When the two guards open the doors for me I make my way silently into the room but standing in front of the door with my head down with my hood already covering my face.

"Ah, my dear Isabella. Forgive me for bringing you here on your day off but it appears you know these people" says Aro, I carefully look up without revealing my face to anyone and...Oh My God.

The Cullens!

They all look at me with eyes of curiosity, obviously from not knowing who I am thanks to my hooded face.

They're all the same as I remember, obviously because of them being vampires and not aging.

I cant feel myself breath, I know we vampires don't need to breath but do out of habit, but I just feel so much pain inside my chest I can't imagine a human even begin to imagine enduring it.

Alice is her usual stylish self, looking at me with an emotion I can't identify she was once my best friend. Jasper beside her I never blamed him for what happened at my eighteenth birthday, it was just in his nature and he wasn't used to his new diet at that time. Rosalie still as beautiful with Emmett beside her, Emmett I considered the big brother I'd always wanted and even though Rose had an attitude towards me I didn't hate her. Esme and Carlisle too, the two people I thought of as another mother and father, always so caring and loving and accepting to me. This family I once loved left me.

And lastly Edward...the one I gave my human heart to, the man I trusted with my life...the one who destroyed me and left me to fend for myself.

I can't do this...

Demetri POV

Jesus why did Aro have to have Bella come to this? These people hurt her so badly they left a scar on her.

I can literally feel the pain she's going through standing there with these disgusting people looking at her, not knowing who she is. And I sure as hell want to keep it that way.

"My kings if I may, it seems she is not a great fan of our guest's presence, may I be permitted to lead her out?" I ask, looking at the three kings in their thrones in question, my hood down so they know who I am already.

I look at them with a hint of desperation, trying to without words ask them to let me take her away from all this, that she needs to go otherwise she'll be far more hurt.

Aro must see this for he nods silently at me in understanding,

"Very well, take her back to her room" he says, I nod in thanks and go to Bella, hoping to god that she's ok. When I take hold of her hand I could almost feel her strength wavering, she's even shaking slightly.

Carefully to not startle her, I wrap my other arm round her waist and lead her out of the room without drawing too much suspicion,

"Forgive me Carlisle, she's new and tends to get a little shy" says Aro,

"Its fine Aro, I'm sure we'll be reacquainted later" says Carlisle.

Not if I can help it.

I lead Bella to our room, having to help support her after a few second when we left the throne room.

I kick the door close after entering our room and lead her to the bed and sit her down,

"Bella? Talk to me honey please, Bella?" I say after taking off her hood to see her eyes filled with petrified shock in her eyes,

"T-they're h-h-here why are they h- here?" she asks, looking up at me in desperation for an answer and with panic,

"I don't know love, but I can talk to Aro and ask him for permission to keep you away from them, you wont have to see them if you don't want to" I say,

"Why did Aro let me in when he knew?" she asks,

"He didn't Bella, remember you only told him that your old vampire boyfriend was named Edward you never gave him their last name so he couldn't of known" I say, from this she looks down in what I presume is in thought and then finally nods in acceptance,

"Why did they have to come here now? I've been so happy here, with you and Jane and Alec and everyone else, why did they have to come?" she asks, from this I bring her into my arms and pull her onto my lap after sitting on the bed where she did before.

"They're not staying here long love, a week maybe two. But they don't need to know who you are, you can always have your hood up and you won't need to be asked in for meetings where they will be also. We'll figure something out love I promise" I say, from this she nuzzles her head under mine.

"I love you Demetri, I don't know what I'd do without you" she says, from this I kiss her head and bring her closer to me in an embrace.

I won't let that group of veggies hurt her ever again. If I could I would kill them all, especially that Edward. I hate his guts for what he did to Bella. If I see him anywhere near her I'll rip him to shreds.

"Come on, let's go find Alec and Jane and go hunting the four of us" I say, with this she looks up at me and for a few seconds we just stare into one another's eyes until she smiles and nods in agreement. I help her up and then help her out of her cloak. But before we leave the room I sneak a kiss on her lips which she responds to.

"I love you Bella, more than anything in this world, more than my own life. I love you so much. Please don't ever leave me" I whisper, our foreheads touching together.

"I love you too Demetri, more than anything in life or death. And I'll never leave you for anything...or anyone" she says, from this I look into her eyes and know she means Edward.

Knowing she's never leave me for him brings so much relief to me, I trust her with my life, and hearing that she wouldn't leave me for her ex or anyone else from her own lips is like hearing the voice of god. If my heart still beat it would have stopped with all the love I now felt for this woman.

"Come on, lets go get our two little terrors" I say, from this she laughs and nods.

"Demetri what if they see me? Recognize me?" she asks, as we're both on our way to the games room to where we can hear Alec and Jane are.

"Then we'll deal with it - together. I would never leave you alone with them unless you asked for such, whatever you need just tell me and I'll do everything I can to accomplishing it for you" I say, from this she smiles and nods.
