Hidden Soul

Chapter Fourteen

The next day I woke up to a cold spot next to me. Opening my eyes, I saw that Bella was nowhere to be found. She may have had another one of those nightmares that she has been getting. For the past few months she has been getting these nightmares about the same person chasing after her. Every one of them has been the same, she gets chased until she gets trapped and then she wakes up. A few nights ago she told me that I was mentioned in the dream this time, which is completely different than her other ones. I'm getting worried about her. Since I have talked to my grandmother and found out who I really am, there seems to be more and more danger that is coming into our lives. I knew that Bella said she has everything under control and won't let anything harm me, but since that attack I have been terrified about what may be out there. I can't stop thinking about those haunting green eyes that have been watching me from outside. When I finally told Bella about it, she nearly went ballistic. She wasn't mad about me. I think she was just mad about the mystery of it all. You see, Bella is the type of person that has to know everything and if she doesn't, it drives her absolutely insane. I have been hiding something from her though. It is about the night we both got attacked. I told her that I didn't know about who was in my room, but I really did. I started to think back on the memory…

Flashback

Bella just went outside to go check the surroundings. I honestly think she is over reacting about the whole situation. I mean, who would want to cause any harm to Bella and I? Some power hungry mythical creature? So I stayed lying on my bed as my girlfriend went outside. After a few minutes of waiting, I felt myself slowly begin to drift off to sleep. Before I could however, I heard movement in my room. I kept my eyes shut, thinking it was just Bella.

"Well that was fast. Everything look fine out there?" I asked as I kept my eyes closed.

A few minutes went by and I still didn't hear a reply. Hmm…that is weird. I slowly cracked my eyes open and expecting to see Bella, but instead I was greeted with a pair of piercing green eyes. I felt my heart quicken its pace.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" I asked the dark figure, who was now standing in a dark corner from my room. I heard a higher pitched giggle and I saw as the figure slowly moved out of the shadows. I gasped at who I saw.

"Now Rosalie dear…I do believe you know what I want from you." The figure said as they grinned at me.

"Alice? What are you doing here? And since when were your eyes green?" I asked still completely shocked.

She just continued to grin at me while she slowly walked towards my bed. "I'm here to take you with me. There's something that you don't know about your dear ol' Isabella Swan. You see…everything you have ever known about her is a complete and total lie."

I glared at her and started to scoot as far as I could away from her. "You're lying! Bella would never hide anything from me. Don't try that with me Alice because it won't work."

She laughed sadistically and continued to get closer to me. "You really think that I would lie to you? Rosalie…it's like you don't know me at all. I am your best friend. If anything, I'm helping you from getting hurt in the future." Alice said while smiling at me. By this point she was in arm's length.

I continued my glare at her. "I don't believe you. You are not the person I was best friends with in the past. I'm not sure if you are really Alice anymore. Because the Alice I know wouldn't be doing whatever you are doing now."

She rolled her eyes at me. "Oh stop with the dramatics Rosalie. Just come with me and I will show you the truth."

She started reaching for me and that was when I started yelling Bella's name, hoping and praying that she could hear me. I heard Alice laughing as she reached for me.

"You really think that she is going to save you? She is so far away she won't be able to hear your pathetic calls for help."

Right when she was about to grab me, I heard a loud thump and saw a ten foot tall lycan that was snow white with piercing violet eyes. Next thing I knew, Alice was being thrown across the room.

"Get the fuck away from her!" I heard the lycan fiercely say.

I felt shivers go up and down my spine from the sound of her voice. Just from the sound of it, I could tell Bella was trying hard not to kill Alice instantly. She quickly leaped in front of me and tried to snap at Alice's neck when she tried coming towards me. Alice just laughed and dodged it easily. They soon both started a stare down with one another, Bella sending menacing glares and snarling her sharp canines while Alice just stared right back at her with a smirk playing on her face. I could see that Bella can't tell who Alice is since she decided to go back into the shadows. After a few more minutes of the stare down, Alice quickly leaped towards the window in one swift move and before she left she said, "I would be careful if I were you Bella. You might want to keep a closer eye on your girl. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her…would you?"

Bella tried to snap at her, but Alice was quicker than Bella and quickly leaped out of the window before she could get to her.

End of Flashback

That night was one of the scariest nights I have ever encountered. I have never been more thankful for Bella reaching me in time than I was that night. If she didn't, I honestly don't know what would have happened. I am almost positive that Alice hasn't been the one watching me at night, because her figure is way too small and from what Bella has said, there was another person in the woods that night besides her. Could Alice really be a lycan as well? If that was the case, wouldn't Bella have recognized her scent or something? Finally gathering up my thoughts, I looked around at my surroundings and saw that we were still in the meadow that Bella took us at last night. We must have fallen asleep after last night's activities. Man, last night was absolutely fantastic. It wasn't even about the fact that Bella and I made love for the first time, it was how connected we were afterwards. Everything felt absolutely right and I loved every second of every moment that happened. We finally said our I love you's to one another. I have been dying to tell her that I love her for a few weeks now, I was just terrified on how she was going to take it. I knew we have our mate connection, but I feel like it is way more than just that when it comes to Bella's and I's relationship. I truly feel connected with her now, almost as if I can read her thoughts. I honestly don't know what I would do if it wasn't for Bella. Finding about my true family heritage and what I am, it was so hard to accept it. It's not that I think being an Aloja is bad or anything, it's just the thought of it all. All my life I have been told that I am normal, just a simple human with extraordinary beauty. So to wake up one morning to find out who you really are? That is just hard to fully accept it, but Bella has helped me, more than she will ever know.

"Well good morning beautiful. How long have you been awake?"

I was pulled out of my thoughts to feel a body come and sit close next to me. I felt a pair of warm, strong arms wrap around my frame, sending butterflies in my stomach. I looked up to see Bella smiling down at me, which made me smile like crazy. "I haven't been awake for very long."

She smiled and kissed me softly and slowly. We sat there kissing for a few minutes and I felt her pulling me closer while rubbing my sides slowly. She slowly pulled away and leaned her forehead against mine as she looked in my eyes. "You are so beautiful." I heard her say softly as she ran her thumb across my cheek lightly. I felt myself blush and I hid my face along the crook of her neck.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here when you woke up. I needed to go for a walk for a little bit. I made sure I wasn't far though, I promise." Bella said as she slowly rubbed my back.

I looked up from my position and looked at her concerned. "Please don't tell me you had another nightmare again…"

She sighed softly and said, "Don't worry about it sweetheart. I promise it wasn't too bad. Everything is fine, I give you my word."

"Bella…have you talked to your father about this? Or even anyone else besides myself?" I asked as I looked at her still.

She nodded her head as she looked at me with her piercing violet eyes. "Yes, I told Charlie about it. He said that something doesn't sound right with it but he doesn't quite know what it is."

"Hmm…maybe my grandmother would know? She seems to know the weirdest things."

She giggled some at that and pulled me closer to her. "Hmm…maybe. We should probably head out though. Everyone is probably wondering where we went off to."

Bella's POV

When we arrived back at the house we were both questioned to where we went off to. Of course I didn't want to tell anyone else what Rosalie is, so we made up some excuse about how we went to her house for the night. Today was my parent's last day here before they left to head back to Canada so I decided that I should spend more time with my parents since I felt like I haven't much since they have been here. I asked Carina, Blain, and Destiny if they would keep an eye on Rosalie and make sure nothing happens to her while I was out, which they quickly agreed to do. I'm sure Blain and Rosalie will spend most of the day playing video games. I swear those two are like little children most of the time. Rumor has it that Emmett is coming over to hang out with Destiny for the day. I really hope something develops between those two. I think they would be the perfect match for one another. Right now I was on a beach with Rene and Charlie. We have been walking up and down the shore line for most of the day just talking.

"So, have you been having those nightmares you have told me about still?" Charlie asked as he looked at me.

I nodded my head yes and sighed softly. I guess it was time to tell him about what happened a few nights ago. "Actually…I have something to tell you about…" And so I proceeded to tell him what happened. By the time I got done, he looked enraged, so did my mother.

"Bella, we need to figure out who is doing this and fast. I don't want you or Rosalie to get hurt! I swear if that bastard tries to cause harm to you girls, I'll hunt them down myself and slaughter them!" Rene said as she pulled me into her arms protectively. That is the thing that I love about my mother, she is very protective of her family. I looked over at my father and saw that he was hiding something.

"Father…what is it?" I asked as I looked at him.

He looked over at me and tried to mask his emotion. "What do you mean Bella? Everything is fine."

I rolled my eyes at him and looked him directly in the eyes. "Dad, I know that you are hiding something from me. So please, just tell me instead of beating around the bush like you always do."

He sighed softly and motioned for me to sit on some rocks that were piled up. I followed him and sat down, along with my mother. They both looked at each other and my mother nodded her head while saying, "You need to tell her Charlie. She deserves to know."

"I deserve to know what? What is it that you are hiding from me?" I asked slowly growing impatient.

"Bella, there is something that we haven't been truthful to you about. You know how a few months ago you came to me saying how you were discovering these feelings towards Rosalie and how you grew bigger in appearance?" He asked while looking at me. I nodded my head to show him that I knew what he was talking to me about so he continued. "Well…there is something that I haven't told you quite yet. I figured at the time you weren't ready to know about it, but now that you've been telling me about these nightmares you've been having and these attacks on you and Rosalie, I think now is the time you learn the truth. Just please promise me you won't interrupt until I am done. I need to tell you the whole thing first before I answer any questions."

I sighed again and looked at my father. "Okay Dad, I promise I won't interrupt. Now can you please tell me what the hell is going on?"

"Watch your language Isabella!" My mother said while looking at me.

"Sorry Mom…"

Charlie sighed again and looked at me while starting to say, "Well to start off…Bella…you're…you're adopted. Now before you get mad, please just let me explain okay? Everything that I have told you about your childhood and about your mother and I is still one-hundred percent true. It's just…when your mother and I met, we both had a longtime friend named Nathan Pearce. He was a lycan just like me, but he was a different kind. Nathan was what you would call an Aradia lycan, which is basically lycan royalty. Him and his wife were about to have a little girl, but sadly they couldn't keep it. This was during the darker times for our kind. There were other lycans and lycan hunters who were trying to kill off the Aradia's and sadly they were getting killed in numbers. So Nathan and his wife had to go into hiding but since she was pregnant, they wanted to find a family who would protect their daughter. That was when Nathan came to us one day. He knew that your mother and I wanted a baby girl so he asked if we would take care of his child and make sure she was safe. We both agreed right away and we were there when Nathan's wife was giving birth. Bella…Nathan is your biological father. I am so sorry for keeping this from you for so long, I just didn't want anything to happen to you. You should know that your mother and I both love you dearly like you were our actual daughter. I hope you don't hate us for what we have done." Charlie finally finished saying.

I stayed quiet after the story, just trying to digest everything. I'm so beyond lost and confused that I don't even know where to start with the questions.

"Bella…please say something dear." Rene said as she looked at me with worry written all over her face.

I looked at the people who I have called my parents my whole life. "So…I'm lycan royalty?" Charlie nodded his head and continued to look at me. "I don't understand why this would cause me or Rosalie to get attacked. I mean…unless there is someone out there that wants me dead."

"I don't think they want you dead. I think…I think someone out there is a little too power happy and they want to use your power to get them what they want." Rene said as she looked at me.

"But how do I have any control in what they want? I'm only 18 years old and even if I have the so called "lycan royalty" blood line in me I still hold no power over anyone."

"Bella that leads us to something else that you need to know…your true father was the leader of the Aradia. He was what humans call it…he was their king. Since you are his daughter, when he dies you will become the queen of the Aradia, meaning you have the ultimate power of all lycans. This explains why you suddenly grew to ten feet tall and got more muscular. This is why you have the violet eye color. You do know what violet stands for right?" Charlie asked as he looked at me.

Of course I do, it means strength and leadership. "Yes, the color violet stands for having strength and leadership, which can be very powerful."

Charlie nodded his head as he continued. "Exactly so if whoever is doing these attacks gets ahold of you, then he or she can be powerful as well."

"But how would they make me agree to their wishes? I'm not one to just simply back down from things." I said as I looked at them both. I saw my mother smile at me. She of all people should know this fact about me.

"They would take something from you, something that you wouldn't be able to stand losing." Charlie said.

I gasped suddenly now that everything clicked in my mind. "Rosalie…Dad, I need to tell you something very important about her. I don't know if it would help and I don't know if whoever is doing this knows about her, but it could be useful. You just have to swear to me…both of you…that you won't tell a single soul."

"Bella, you know your mother and I won't tell anyone."

I nodded my head and sighed. "Well…last night, Rosalie confessed something to me. She isn't exactly what you would call human. She's an Aloja."

"An Aloja? What exactly is that?" Rene asked softly.

I proceeded to tell them what Rosalie was. After I was done, they both looked to be in thought. Finally, my father spoke.

"So you said they may not know what Rosalie is?"

"No, I don't know if they do or not. But the way that the figure was acting in her room, it seemed as if they thought Rosalie was really and truly vulnerable. I'm just scared that something is going to happen to her."

"Bella dear, you are the strongest lycan out there besides your father! I highly doubt someone will hurt you or Rosalie. We better head back to the house though. Just remember, if you need anything, and I mean anything at all, your mother and I are just a phone call away and we will be here for you. We love you sweetheart, more than anything."

We decided to have a last meal with my parents that evening. We all sat and talked about this and that. Afterwards, Rosalie and I decided to head up to my room to get some rest. I probably need to tell her what I learned about myself today…but I don't think she needs to know just yet.

"So today was eventful." Rosalie said as she cuddled up into my side.

I smiled at her and rubbed her back slowly. "Very eventful. What did you do today?"

I felt her start to rub my stomach with her fingers lightly, sending butterflies in my stomach. "Well Carina and I had a nice talk during the afternoon and then Blain challenged me for another round of his Call of Duty game, which I won again by the way."

I laughed at that and stretched out more as her fingers continued to dance across my abs. "So what did you two girlies talk about?"

"She actually was telling me about how she changed into a lycan and how she felt about it. It was actually very interesting. Then she proceeded to ask me about our relationship. She is very happy for us."

I smiled a lot at that. "Yeah, Carina is one of my best friends. She has been there for me for everything."

I heard her yawn and I looked down at her and pulled her close to me. "You need to go to sleep sweetheart."

I felt her get comfortable against me and I leaned down and kissed her softly. "I love you Rosalie."

She smiled against my chest and squeezed me tightly. "I love you Bella."

Within seconds I could hear her breathing even out and I knew she was sound asleep. Man, I really need to get all of this sorted out.

So there you guys go. I really hope you liked it all. I promise that all questions will be answered at some point in this story. Also, as for the whole Aradia thing, this is a completely made up. I wanted to add a different twist to the story but I didn't think there was a technical term for lycan royalty. But if any of you have heard of such a word, then feel free to tell me. Please don't forget to send a review, I really appreciate it. I don't know when I will be posting another chapter. This weekend will be filled with writing papers and all that jazz. But I will try to update as soon as I can. =]
