Chapter Thirteen
Edward's point of view
Bella is the future queen of the fairies. That means she will have to go and live on the island after this war. Well, I will just have to live there with her. She was with me now; I'm not letting her go! She seemed so frightened that I was going to leave her when she was queen. I love her too much to leave her though.
She had to go to a meeting that involved her people and the war so I decided I would sit this out and let her go and deal with it. If she needed me, she would know where I was.
I went home again and met up with my brothers.
"Hey, Edward. What did she kick you out already?" Emmett greeted.
"No, she had a meeting that she had to go to." I answered. I was happy that Tanya, Irina, Kate, Carmen and Esme decided to go hunting. Tanya and Irina would get on my nerves.
"A meeting? What do you mean she had to go?" Jasper asked.
"She is a princess, it was about her home and people. She had to go anyways, she's uh… she's the future queen." I said sitting down on the couch.
"She's the… what?" Emmett asked with his eyes wide.
"Future queen? Are you sure?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, I read her mother's mind and then Bella told me." I told them.
"Why didn't she tell you before? That would have been nice!" Emmett said.
"Don't blame anything on her. She just wanted to be a normal girl for once. She didn't want me to be influenced by it." I said seriously. I wasn't going to let Bella look like the bad guy when she had done nothing wrong.
"So she didn't tell you? what are you going to do when she has to rule Edward? You obviously cannot live without her now." Jasper asked calmly.
"I'm going with her. If I cannot live without her and she has to rule then it's simple, I live with her on the island. Plain and simple." I explained.
"What about us?" Emmett asked.
"Something tells me you'll still be with Alice and Rosalie." I told them.
"But that still does not tell us what we are going to do. What about Esme and Carlisle?" Emmett replied.
"Well what about me? I can't live without my life and I'm not going to give it up just so everyone around me can be happy. Plus if I left her I would be dead anyway, there would be no me for Esme and Carlisle to talk to." I explained a little agitated.
"I see your point. I am behind you every step of the way bro!" Emmett said cheerfully.
"I do too. And if Bella is happy and you are, Alice is too, so I am behind you 100%" Jasper said.
"We still have a while. The war isn't over and then there's the months where the preparations are made." I explained.
"Alright! Now, why don't we do some brotherly bonding? Time for some mountain lions!" Emmett said, leading us out into the woods.
Bella's Point of View
Edward left again and I was left with my mother and sisters. Stupid meeting! I hate these things. I wish I could be just a normal girl most of the time! But if I was a normal girl, Edward and I wouldn't have ever met.
We walked into the dining room and then the council popped in, literally.
"Greetings, queen Renee, princess Alice, Princess Rosalie, and Princess Bella." The leader of the council, Angela greeted. She was sweet and nice so I was happy she has to make the decisions when we are not around.
"Good morning Angela. How is everything at the island?" Mom said as they sat at the ends of the dining room table.
"There has been no attack yet, milady." She replied, "But, it's quiet. Almost too quiet. All the fairies have been living and still making preparations for when the fairies must come here to the main land but I sense great fear from them."
"There's nothing here either, well, there was one mishap. One of the Volturi came to recruit and didn't plan on us being here. Bella, Alice and Rosalie scared her off." Mom explained.
"Was she turning people or were there other vampires in the area?" She asked concerned.
"There are others still in the area. They are different though, they only drink the blood of animals. Some of the males of that coven have become friends with them."
"Really? I shall warn others of this. Can you tell the difference?"
"Um… I didn't notice…" Mom started.
"Their eyes are a different color. They are gold." I told her.
"Thank you, milady. I must say, these must be good friends if you have remembered their eye color." Angela smiled.
I returned the smile and said, "Yes, they are great friends."
The others giggled and said, "I'll say!"
Angela looked confused.
"Do not tell anyone Angela but, Bella is in love with one of them." Mom whispered to her.
"Mom!" I exclaimed.
"What? She was bound to know sooner or later!" She replied.
"Don't worry, Miss Bella. Your secret is safe with me." Angela reassured me.
"Thank you. Oh, and just to let you know, these two have dates with his brothers." I told her pointing to Alice and Rose. They gave me a death glare and Angela just giggled.
"Don't worry, everything is safe with me. Now, I must be off. Everyone is waiting for a status report. I'll only warn them of the eye color. There cannot be very many of these kinds of vampires but, just to be safe." She smiled, and then popped out.
I sighed and Alice caught that, "What? Can't wait to meet up with Edward?"
I stuck my tongue out at her and said, "Well, I think you'll love Jasper! He's a romantic softy like yourself. Edward told me."
"Really?!?" She said excited.
"Yes, now go and worry about what you're going to wear like usual." I said pointing to the stairs.
"Yes, Captain!" She saluted and marched up the stairs, Rose following behind. I laughed at her and then suddenly remembered what I have to do today.
