Oh and congrats to the one person who guessed how the plot is going to play out: sweetiiey

Thanks for the reviews guys!

Previously…

My heart plummeted. You have got to be fucking kidding me. Was he honestly about to try and talk me out of it? Oh hell no. If Jasper wasn't going to change me, than I would get Carlisle to because I am sick and tired of being rejected and having this put off. I know this is my destiny, and no matter how much I want Jasper to change me, if it has to be another vampire's venom running through my veins then so be it.

"Hold on there, angel." Jasper interrupted my inner breakdown. "Let me finish."

I exhaled a breath I wasn't aware of holding and let my eyes meet his, not daring to hope.

"This is entirely up to you now, but I think you should know…"

Then Jasper said the worst possible thing he could at the moment.

"…that there's a complication."

"Hello Bella."

I stared in surprise at the tall girl who came out of the cottage after Jasper and came to stand next to him. Who the hell is she?

I surveyed her shoulder length, perfectly straight, white blonde hair; her slender and flawless face; her tall and thin stature; and finally her vegetarian topaz eyes, and was immediately hit with a tidal wave of inferiority.

Who was this vampire and why is she here?

"Bella….This is Irina. (A/N: There's our winner…#3.) She's part of the Denali coven in Alaska." Jasper introduced her.

"I can introduce myself, silly man." She practically cooed, smiling at Jasper.

I repeat. What the hell?!?

"So you're part of Tanya's coven?" I spoke up, trying to take her attention off of Jasper.

"It's not her coven." The lofty blonde corrected. "But yes, we are in the same one."

"Irina!" Esme exclaimed. "It's so nice to see you! What are you doing here? Where are your sisters?"

"Oh they are all inside. We heard Carlisle was here at this lovely vacation house and, assuming you were with him, we came directly here." Irina explained before shooting Esme a curious look.

"Why don't we all go inside? I can think of one person who is probably freezing right now." Jasper suggested, winking at me.

"Sounds good to me. " Irina said approvingly before disappearing into the house with Esme.

"Guess you'll have to wait a little longer." Jasper murmured quietly, shooting me an apologetic look.

Oh great. Just when I thought nothing else could get in the way of me becoming a vampire, some supermodel Barbie shows up with her family and ruins everything. Well they couldn't be staying that long…right?

"What's another couple of hours?" I said shrugging, as if the very thought of putting it off another minute didn't aggravate me to the core.

His brow furrowed, probably sensing that my emotions didn't match my mouth, but he didn't comment as we entered into the much warmer house.

When Jasper and I walked into the living room I saw everyone was already seated and speaking amongst themselves.

Carlisle was sitting with Esme in a love seat, their hands clasped together, and right next to them were the three sisters all seated delicately on the sofa.

Tanya turned to look at me, a surprised look on her face. "Why are you here?"

"What? Me?" I asked, just as shocked as she was at the moment.

What does she mean why am I here? She knows I'm a part of the Cullen family since she saw me at the…shit. She was at the wedding.

"Yes. I thought you and Edward would be on your honeymoon now?" She clarified a look of incomprehension on her face. "Did something…happen? Where's Edward?"

There was a beat of silence.

"Well Tanya-"Carlisle started, taking it upon himself seeing as I was still in a state of speechlessness. "As of a week ago Edward and Bella are no longer together."

Three bell-like gasps echoed throughout the room. Even though it wasn't the time, I found it funny how it kind of sounded like a symphony.

"I'm sorry Bella. If I had known I wouldn't have asked." Tanya chirped, sounding apologetic.

"No, no. It's okay, you didn't know." I reassured her, hoping to god she didn't ask why we broke up.

"We can leave if now's not a good time…" The black-haired vampire in the middle inserted.

"Of course not, Kate!" Esme exclaimed. "We would love for you all to stay. We rarely see each other as it is."

"I'm just glad you guys called us and invited us to come up." Tanya said, a small smile on her face.

Wait a second! What the heck is she talking about?!? All the Cullen's knew that I was supposed to be bitten today, they wouldn't call the Denali coven! That is just….just wrong! I mean what kind of person would….Alice. I bet it was her!

She has been trying to stop me change every chance she gets! I thought asking me a favor was insulting me to my face was low, but this…this was one hundred times worse.

What is she trying to accomplish anyways? If anything all she's done is put the inevitable off for a little while. But goddamnit I WILL be a vampire in the next couple of days and it WILL be Jasper's venom in my freaking veins!

I glanced at Jasper to see a dark look on his face. Good thing I wasn't the only one who was pissed about this.

"I'm sorry Tanya, but I'm not sure I follow." Carlisle said hesitantly. "You said someone, one of us, called and invited you? Who?"

"I'm not positive because Eleazar answered the phone, but I can call him later and find out if you like." Kate offered generously.

"I would appreciate that." Carlisle said, forcing a calm, grateful look onto his features.

"Thank you again Esme, for allowing us to stay. It has been way to long since we've seen everyone." Kate said, a huge smile on her face, as she stood up and hugged the taller vampire.

"Well you know what they say; absence makes the heart grow fonder." Irina inserted her eye straying to Jasper for a split second, a movement I'm sure that only I noticed.

Okay, I am seriously starting to wonder if Jasper and Irina have a past relationship or something. I mean he was with Alice the whole time they knew each other so it is impossible…right?

But as far as she knows Jasper and Alice are still happily married so why would she come on to him so strong? Is she that selfish and uncaring?

Jasper couldn't possibly have any strong feelings for her since they have known each other awhile and he hasn't pursued her.

Or is it just that he was so consumed with his feelings for Alice that he didn't notice her? I mean, he is free to pursue her now that he and Alice are over.

The thought sent an unexpected pang through my heart, but before I had time to reflect on it I realized that while I was lost in my thoughts everyone had stood and was heading towards the front door.

Really? I was only distracted for what- a couple of minutes? Were humans really that slow compared to them? That is so embarrassing.

"Bella? You okay there? You didn't seem to be present through most of that conversation. Not to mention that your emotions were not the most positive." Jasper said, startling me.

I hadn't even realized that we were the only two in the room. Okay, this is just sad. I need to snap out of whatever trance I'm in before I humiliate myself anymore than I already have.

"Do you want the truth or a sugar-coated lie?" I asked sarcastically.

"The truth would be good."

And all my frustration, wearing patience, annoyance, and pessimistic feelings came out in a current of hurried words.

"It's just I am ready to move on with my life already. My change is a rebirth of sorts. A chance for me to start over and delaying what I have been waiting so long for hasn't put me in the best of moods." I explained sheepishly, shrugging at Jasper.

And that overly flirtatious blonde isn't helping anything. At all.

"Who? You mean Irina?" Jasper asked causing my eyes to widen, my cheeks to flame red, and my jaw to drop.

"Oh my god I can't believe said that out loud." I moaned in embarrassment. "Please say the others are far away from earshot."

"It's all good. I'm the only witness to your true feelings about our guests." He said laughingly, shaking his head at me.

I watched him laugh at my expense of a second. Jasper didn't laugh often, but when he did he laughed with his whole being. Even his eyes seemed to be amused, that's how tangible the emotion was around him. It's like when he was happy you couldn't help be feel that way too.

"Oh yeah? Well then I guess it's only fair that I know yours." I proposed, raising an eyebrow at him. Daring him to tell me.

He paused, a surprised look on his face, before he replied.

"Well, contrarily to what Irina says, Tanya has always been the leader figure of the group and carries herself so. She is confident, and has a superiority complex, but is also fiercely loyal. Kate is probably Tanya's opposite, being the most bubbly, fun-loving, and carefree of the group. But she is also a little on the dimmer side, for a vampire at least. And Irina-"

Ah here's what I have been waiting for.

"She is a curious character. She had a brief relationship with Laurent, you know, which is why she neglected to attend you and Edward's wedding. And…And Emmett and Rose sure should come out now and stop hiding out there because I can feel your emotions. And about a half a mile back Emmett stepped on a stick."

Wait, what? Emmett and Rose were here? What the heck?!? Can they not have waited one more second to interrupt? Well, I wasn't letting Jasper weasel out of this.

"We are finishing this conversation later." I stated firmly, which was answered with a lazy grin.

"Whatever you say darlin'."

"Are we interrupting anything here?" Emmett asked, a Cheshire grin adorning his face.

"Wow Emmett. I didn't know the undead could have dimples." I said nonchalantly after noticing he ws possessed with this certain feature, pleased when he immediately wiped the smile off his face and replaced it with a pout.

"Oh so now were just 'undead' to you?" Jasper asked, sounding amused. "And I thought we were friends."

Suddenly a devilish smirk appeared on his face.

"But then again you do seem to form surreptitious opinions about everybody and keep them locked away as secrets."

"Secrets?" Emmett asked excitedly, his good humor returning. "I can keep a secret."

"Jasper! Traitor!" I yelled playfully, shoving him with my hand.

"Now, now. Leave poor Bella alone. She's been through a lot with her change being postponed by the groupies' arrival." Rose said with a grimace.

Ah! So it looks like I wasn't the only one who wasn't fond of the trio of newly arrived vampires. Excellent.

"Feel like a drive Bella?"

"Absolutely." I beamed, before taking in Jasper's slightly disheartened expression.

I couldn't deny him anything.

"Hey Jas, Em do you guys want to come?"

Identical smiled engulfed both boys' faces.

"Hell Yeah! ROAD TRIP!"

A/N: Hit? Miss? Let me know what you think! can you guess where they are going?
