Chapter two

Jasper walked around Bella's two story apartment admiring her collection of souvenirs and nik-naks, sometimes even pausing if something caught his eye. As nice as it was to see Bella again Jasper worried that he may have opened a gateway to trouble, from the moment Bella's scent hit him he knew that things were going to change. He did not expect it to involve another world that vampires didn't even know existed though.

Alice sensed Jasper's discomfort, she always kept both her 'sight' and mind in harmony with Jasper's.

"Jasper what's wrong" Alice asked as she walked over in a pixie-like motion. Jasper looked at Alice and smiled.

"Its nothing" he lied.

"Jasper from the day I saw you I knew I was going to love you, its one of things that makes lying to me so hard, I know your every feature and expression so please tell me what's wrong." Jasper sighed even though he had no actual need to.

"I was wondering if I did the right thing by bringing Bella back into our lives" he said with guilt pouring from his voice.

"Of course you did the right thing, everyone is so happy to see her again".

"I'm happy as well, I can sense everyone's emotions and they all are gleaming with happiness but its about what Bella has become".

Alice twirled herself round to Jasper's other side so she could comfort him more, as she twirled she placed a small kiss on his cheek.

"Bella is the same girl we knew back in forks albeit a few things have changed, unfortunately her wardrobe still remains the same" Alice laughed trying to cheer up Jasper.

Jasper smiled slightly at his wife and how her sense of fashion had dominated a large amount of the Cullen's finances, they barely wore anything twice.

"Its just that we may invincible to an extent and so is Bella. Do you think that the family can bear to lose her again"?.

Alice glanced at Edward knowing that he was probably listening, she considered him to be rude when he listened in. Alice understood Jasper and his views, Edward became a shell when he chose to leave Bella. Alice didn't know whether he would survive losing her again.

"Jasper, all I know is that she is back now and maybe a small part of Edward has come back too.".

Edward kept his distance from the rest of his family as they scanned Bella's apartment, they looked at her photo's and items looking for fragments of a history they had not been involved in. Alice and Jasper had been talking about Bella and her safety risk to the family. Edward couldn't help but silently laugh, no matter who they encountered on their journey's they were always analysed by Jasper who advised the rest of the family on whether they were safe or not. Jasper was immensly protective of the family, he considered them his salvation and a kind of atonement for his bloody past.

Edward wanted so much to go up to Bella and kiss her but knew he couldn't. The pain of losing her had damaged his mind as well as his soul. For many decades Edward now considered himself to be a monster with a soul to try and preserve a part of Bella in himself, she was the one who thought he had a soul therefore if he could feel the pain of losing her he knew his soul was the source of the pain.

Edward couldn't help but sneak a glimpse of her as she spoke with Esme, even with her changed appearance she was still his Bella.

"Hello Edward." Alice had skipped to his side in an instant and greeted him.

"Hello you little weirdo" Edward playfully said to antagonise his little sister, Edward instantly saw Alice stick her tongue out.

"You know how I feel about you silently intruding on conversations I have with Jasper."

Edward knew this but he had always struggled to contain his curiosity when it concerned other people.

"Sorry." he smiled.

"I saw a small glimpse concerning your decision to go over and kiss Bella, you still feel deeply for her."

"Of course I do but its been over a century since we last even spoke properly, the last words I ever said to her led her on this path." Edward brushed his hand through his hair as he felt the frustration rising within him, Bella had changed but he didn't care about that. He did however feel guilt over the fact that she had killed over the years, he had never wanted her to feel like a killer.

The cold air hit Richie's face as he turned the corner, he had decided to see how Bella was after her first day at college and was happy when he turned the corner to see her bike covered in a bit of mud. She had used his present, she was so sweet. Richie made his way to the elevator and pressed the button, as the elevator climbed he tidyed himself up making sure there wasn't a hair out of place or any trace of the beverage he had just gulped down.

As Richie was about to knock the door a face suddenly appeared, Bella had already sensed him coming. "Hey Richie" she said in a joyful tone.

Before Richie could speak he noticed that there were more people in the room, Richie slipped past Bella and saw the pale faces of seven people staring back at him as he entered.

"Richie I'd like you to meet the Cullen family" Bella nervously said biting her lip slightly.

"Bella what the hell is going on here" Richie angrily demanded.

"Let me explain."
