I watched as Esme ripped off Rosalies arm. Emmett growled at her and I had to send him away. I was training my coven to take care of themselves. Emmett had a hard time watching Rose face anyone. But she alone needed the most help with defending herself. I don't think Emmett understood that Rose really needed this. I sat on my rock watching as Rose started to strike back. It would be difficult for her to win now with only one arm, but could be done if she took the right opportunity.

I thought back over the past few days I had been with them. They were very wary of me. After Esme feed the first few times, she changed the most of them all. She was no longer a 'mother' to them, and I think that alone broke their hearts. Alice was the least affected being she was more worried about me, her new mate.

Esme was feral now. She didn't let too many close to her. I guess if I watched what I assumed my mate die, I would be more than disgruntled too. It wasn't that she wanted revenge or anything like that; she was more just plain upset that she had to watch that. When she started drinking from humans her whole demeanor, and attitude have changed. She's taking to fighting like a duck to water. She loves it. I think she just wants to know that no one will be able to take her. Em has a hard time taking her down, Alice doesn't with her future seeing gift she knows what she is going to do, but Esme had taken her down once when Esme had changed her mind at the last moment, and Rose is no problem for her at all.

I guess I should probably step in, but Rose needs to find out that Em won't always be there to protect her. You would think that given the way she died before being brought into this life, would make her want to fight harder than any of us. But she has that damsel in distress thing going on. I am so irritated with her.

"Esme, rip her other arm off if she isn't going to try any harder than that!" She needs to learn, and someone can't always be with her to save her.

Esme lunges, Rose twists around at the last second, and slam her to the ground. She is then on top of her with her teeth to Esmes' throat.

"Final-Fucking-ly, it's about time you got serious Rose, you almost lost another arm. And look no one had to be here to save you."

"Why thank you, captain fucking obvious. I can see there is no one here to help."

"Yes, but look," I say as she stands, "you took out Esme with one arm. Em couldn't even do that, he has a hard time with two arms. She's so quick and moves are so primal and swift she's hard to beat, but you did with one arm. You should be proud of yourself."

"Fuck you, I'm going to fix my arm." She spits out, but she smiles while I turn my head to bitch at Esme. She likes I can bitch and congratulate in one sentence, makes her feel like I am just like her.

She yells for Emmett and he appears. He takes in her one arm state and loses it. He rushes at me for letting his mate get hurt, I simply slide sideways and watch him turn, and lunge. Emmett is nothing if not predictable, thus why he loses so much. When he comes at me in his lunge I throw my hands up and catch him using his momentum to sling him into a tree. He is right back up and charging. I start charging at him also when he gets close enough, I flip and land on his back. He starts clawing what he can reach of me, when I put my teeth to his throat, and tell him his wife fights better than he does with only one arm.

He continues fighting and losing every time he lunges, strikes or moves in general. I would almost think he doesn't like me. If it wasn't for his mate, I'd probably send him away from the coven. But alas, Rosalie is strong, just intimidated by mostly everyone; I think if I can build up her confidence in fighting she will finally let some of that go. I think being turned into a pussy vamp after the ordeal she went through messed with her mind. But I am not totally sure; maybe she has always been intimidated by other vampires. After one more missed attack, Rose screams for Emmett that she needs him to help and he is gone in the next second.

They leave for a meal to help out with healing Rose's arm. It is good for them to have some time alone; I wished I could have some with Alice right now. She still insists on buying clothes all the time, but she isn't as crazy about it as she was. I think I will go on a run to just have some time alone. Going from nomad to coven leader of 4 others has given me no time alone, which I always enjoyed, plus after all the information Alice has given me about the Major, I have plenty I need to think about and deal with.

"I didn't expect to see you for a few more days." I greet my coven.

"We didn't want to doddle. We found out some things I thought you would love to hear. And we have all the information you asked us to obtain." Benjamin greeted.

"Plus, I couldn't wait to meet the two new coven members!" Tia as always was excited.

"Come on in, I am sure you are ready to get cleaned up from the past few days, and I know Isabella will be excited to meet you." I know they are probably ready to get cleaned up after traveling without stopping for the days they have been doing my bidding.

I show them to the shower in Peter and Chars room, and help find them some suitable clothes. I was so glad when they joined my coven. They were genuinely good vampires. They were like the rest of my coven consuming thieves and the worst of society. I liked that about the vampires who chose to do well with what we had been giving. It was about as good as a vampire could get in my way of thinking. Of course they had 'slipped' if you will and drank from good people to, but in general they kept to the low lives.

I remember when Amun their first coven leader challenged me. He was about two thousand years old and thought that the Major, was just a fairy tale. He treated his whole coven treacherously, and that included his mate. There isn't any vampire who does this but the seriously deranged. It is almost impossible to be mean to your mate, but it has been done to those who were changed. I believe Amun was probably a psychopath in his human days or had some other type of mental disorder to be able to be so horrible to his mate.

After he challenged me, I couldn't nor wouldn't back down from him. Most of his coven deserted, but his mate flew at me from behind and tried to attack, before she even got five feet away from me, Tia had dismembered her and threw her in the pile with Amun. I asked her later why she did that. Her reply was 'She lived a miserable immortal life, and now she was going to have to live with the mating bond being dead, and she at least deserved the peace of death.' I have respected her for that alone. She and Benjamin lead mostly a nomadic life but every few years or so they would come to me. And if ever they needed anything I was the one they called. I am proud to call them mine.

I walk up the stairs to see Isabella for minutes. I know it will take Tia and Benjamin awhile to clean up and affirm their bond.

"Tia and Benjamin are here. I thought you might like to freshen up before I take you to meet them in a bit."

"Sure, just let me finish this chapter; it's one of my favorite parts." She is reading 'Pride and Prejudice' again. I couldn't figure out what she found so fascinating with it. But she liked it, so to each their own I suppose. She folded a corner of a page over and went to the bathroom.

Coming out cleaned up and ready to go we headed downstairs to wait on Tia and Ben. It didn't take them near as long as I thought it would. I had already called Peter earlier and he told me he already knew and that he would be here when they got out. He wasn't wrong as soon as they came in search of me, Peter, Char, and Edward came into the house.

"Oh, she is pretty for a human!" Tia exclaims as she sees Isabella. I sometimes wish she still blushed like she used to.

"Well, thank you, not so bad yourself." Isabella laughs.

"Benjamin, is she ready to let you back out with me?" Peter slaps Ben on the back laughing.

"Uh, No, but maybe if we take the human she will let us." Ben tells him smiling

"I'm in!" Isabella shouts out.

"No. Just No!" Char says.

"Awe, why not?" Isabella asks.

"You and Peter, bad idea, Peter and Ben, worse idea, Peter, Ben and you, Hell. No." Char explains.

"We weren't that bad, besides Peter said it was fun trouble or just trouble. We did pick the best idea we could, Char. It wouldn't hurt to let us out just once."

"NO. Do you have any idea what these two nuts did the last time they were let out of mine and Tia's sight?"

"Couldna been that bad." Isabella whines.

"Yes. It. Was. First off they almost exposed us; second off they sent a little kid to the hospital. They are not going out with you."

"Really? What happened?" I wish she hadn't asked, but it was funny as hell.

"They went out walking the strip in Gatlinburg, and found a shirt that said, 'it's true, I'm a Ninja' shirt. Peter of course had to buy it. You know how he is. Then went to a comedy show and a little boy is there in the lobby with them, and throws a pretty crystal quartz stone at him. When he doesn't catch it and just stands there looking at the kid who shattered a rock on his head the kid starts screaming and yelling that 'he isn't a true Ninja, a real ninja would have caught that'. He then ran over to Peter called him a liar, and then kicked him in the leg. He broke his foot, and they almost exposed us. If it weren't for Benjamin telling the kids parents that Peter had a prosthetic leg I don't know what would have happened." Char tries to laugh, but holds it back because she is trying to make a point.

"That wasn't their fault. The kid's parents should have stopped him before it ever got that far!" Isabella protested on their halves.

"Yeah, well the next time they went out. What is it with you guys and poor innocent kids?" Tia directs at them. "Anyways, the next time they go out, they are riding down a neighborhood street in their brand new convertible. A paper bag was moving across the road and they saw a squirrel tail sticking out of it at the last second and even though there reflects are perfect the cars wasn't. They ran over a poor squirrel! If that wasn't bad enough they saw that the bag was still moving, so they backed up over it so it wouldn't suffer. It was then that they saw a little girl in shock on the sidewalk. They," Tia points at them, "had run over the poor little girl's cat. Once wasn't enough, so they then ran it over again! I bet that poor child still has nightmares over that!"

Isabella is wipes her eyes laughing. "That isn't funny, but OMG that is so fucking funny!" Hell she confuses me sometimes. It isn't funny, but it is? I can't help but smile at her; she's so cute when she snorts.

She takes a calming breathe and releases it, "That wasn't their fault either. I won't let them around little kids, I promise." She says still trying to get out with them.

I know neither of them would ever let her get hurt, so I don't mind too much. Edward is standing by the door, looking ready to bolt at any moment with a horrified look on his face.

"You can go, but only on one condition." I tell her, "Edward must go with you."

Everyone but Tia and Ben look at me like I have lost it. "What, I think it would be good for him to get out a little bit and learn how to be stupid."

Tia and Ben give me a confused look; they aren't up with the whole story just yet. But I am guessing by now they have seen the stick hanging out of Edwards's ass. Yep I think that would do Edward a world of good. Just to go out and have fun with these three might teach him a thing or two.

"Are you saying I act stupid?" Isabella is pissed. Shit that didn't come out right, now that I think about it.

"No, baby, that isn't what I meant at all!"

"Didn't sound that way to me." Damn I am glad she isn't a vampire right now. I look at the rest of my coven, and see the laughter in their eyes, I feel it enough that a smile leaks out on my face. "Are you laughing about calling me stupid? REALLY?"

"No...It's just that...I...They were..."

"Enough, Major, I don't want to hear it." She got up and walked over to sit beside Peter. He threw his arm around her and sidled closer to her, grinning at me. I wanted to rip his fucking arm off but he knew damn well that Isabella would look at it as though I wouldn't let her sit where she wanted and was in general being a jerk. FML.

The uncomfortable silence grew till Benjamin couldn't stand it any longer and he broke it. "We were close to their town. We spoke to Emmett. Things are not good there."

"Why did you speak with him, you weren't to be seen?" Fuck I didn't want any of them to know I had anyone watching. Emmett was actually a pretty smart guy though, so if anyone was going to know, I am glad it was him, maybe.

"I wasn't expecting them to be two towns over from where they live. Do you know that Garrett has ordered them all to consume human blood? He also has them training the majority of the day. Emmett said Esme is completely lost to her inner demon. Emmett said that Garrett often makes Esme fight against Rosalie, knowing that Esme is feral. Rose has lost more than one body part to her. He continues to pit Esme against her though. And Alice is as always more concerned with shopping than anything else."

"Anything else?" I ask. Fuck I can't believe he is letting Esme hurt Rosalie, she is actually very intimidated of vampires in general. She can be very vocal, and was about Isabella, but the only reason she fought so hard to keep her away is she didn't want any type of confrontation with the Volturi.

"Yes, Emmett said when or if we saw you, to let you know him and Rose where with you in however you proceed with things. Other than that just some general information about feeding habits and what not."

"Interesting. Em wants out; I wonder how Esme will feel when she comes back out of her feral phase? Does she know what she is doing now?"

"Not sure, half the time I think so, other half I am not sure. I think she flashes back and forth so much because of confusion of the situation she finds herself in. I do believe it would be rather harsh to live your life in one way and have it ripped out from underneath you. Especially, when you have lost what you thought was your mate." Benjamin tells me.

"Toss it around for a few days and then we will decide what must be done." I want them all to think about what we are going to do. It is hard to kill someone you have known for decades. But it must be done.

"Isabella, can you join me in our room please?" I ask her, because we are going to have to talk about her being disrespectful, though I do realize I deserved it and it was only in front of my closest friends she cannot do so anymore. I lead a coven and if I cannot defend myself around one human girl things could get very ugly. I know though, that those here realize that she is my mate, but until she is formally, she is only human, and will be viewed as such. When she is a vampire she will help me lead, but she is not yet.

"Peter, Char. Introduce Edward, and show them where they can find something to eat around here. We will all talk later." I dismiss them.

Benjamin, who I have found to be like a very cool brother, Edward, and I on Peters back, started off on foot. The girls finally agreed to let us go out for one night. The Major told all three of the guy's one hair misplaced on my head and they would suffer for it. Course he said it a lot meaner, I laughed to myself.

"So what you guys want to do?" I ask them, we hadn't actually decided on anything.

"Why don't we go get you drunk so you can strip for us, I bet the guys would love to see that?" Peter says wiggling his eyebrows.

"Eh, I'm not dressed for that. But getting drunk sounds good. Why don't we show Eddie the gay bars, I bet he'd love it!"

"I'm in!" chimes Ben.

"Sounds good to me too. What'da ya say Eddie boy. Ready for some gay lovin'?" Peter asks.

Jasper had told him he had to listen to everything I say, if Benjamin approves. Peter only gets to make him, because Jasper said it would be disastrous for Peter to have a say in what he had to do. We were only to make sure he has fun, and lets loose for once. I was up for that and so where the guys. A gay bar with liquor and nothing but guys to hit on him sounded like tons of fun to me. Plus I had the extra benefit of no males looking to hard at me. Major didn't appreciate others ogling his goods he said. I still thought it was funny, I am a pole dancer after all.

Edward groaned out loud "Please, something reasonable."

We all just laughed at him. There isn't anything he is going to agree with, and I thought it was time Edward let loose of some of that old world, and realize he needed to get with the times. The world has always had Gay, Lesbian, and a various amounts of relationships it was time he realized nothing was ordinary any more. Everyone is their own person, and they will do as they please.

"Come on guys, this will be fun. I think there is a place in Amarillo called 'Sassy's' or something. It probably doesn't open up good till about 11ish so let's go grab me something to eat before we head in. Don't want to me to be puking all over you on the ride back now do we?" I laugh to Peter.

"Sounds good." They agree and we head off.

After eating we walk down the road to the bar. Benjamin throws his arm around my shoulders and whispers, "I'll keep my arm over you, and they will think we are together with our gay friends."

"That would be great." I nod at him.

We get a seat close to the dance floor and settle in as our waitress comes by. The waitress comes by. "What can I get you all?"

Peter tells her, "We all need an orgasm, get him two." Peter points to Edward. "He is a virgin and we plan on him losing that title tonight.

Edward looks horrified, "I'll just have a beer."

"Okay then, 5 orgasms coming up." The waitress tells us. She doesn't take long to bring us our drinks back.

We sit back and talk for a few minutes before the first brave man approaches. He asks Peter to dance. Peter looks at him up and down, then replies, "Sorry, but if you would introduce me to your friend over there, I'd be much obliged."

The man curtly nods and stalks off to his table to send his friend over. Edwards jaw is on the floor and Ben and I are trying to hold our giggles in. Of course Peter would want the best looking man in the place. His friend comes over and nods at Peter, stretching his hand out he doesn't say a word, Peter promptly garbs his hand and goes to the dance floor with him.

Edward is shocked that Peter would dance with another man. "Don't worry, honey, him and Char have an open relationship."

At this information, Edwards face morphs into confusion. "It means that, they can screw whoever they want to, and sometimes they do it together." I explain.

"Vampires actually do that? I mean I've heard many of them think about it, but I just thought that it was them imagining what they wanted to do. I never thought they would actually do it." Edward now looks at Peter and the other man grinding on one another he gets a weird look on his face and I think he is probably listening in to both their thoughts.

"Yeah, they do. Tia and I have a few times. Almost all vampires do at some point. It's more or less something to kill the boredom of an eternal life. How you have remained a virgin for a hundred years mystifies us all. Do you not want to try some of those things we think in front of you?"

Edward is clearly embarrassed, "Well, yes, but I was taught to only have sex with your wife, and anything else was just wrong."

"Edward sooner or later, you are going to have to come to the realization you are no longer human. Vampires do not hold to the same rules. You cling to your humanity so closely at times; you are more than even human. Most humans don't wait till they are 20 any longer and here you have waited till you are 100 years old. Doesn't that seem strange to you?" Benjamin tells him.

He clears his throat; he would be tomato red if he were human at this minute. "Yes, well I guess what you are saying is true, but I had never looked upon it like that."

A lady comes over and asks if Benjamin and I would like to dance. He tells her that I wouldn't but he'd love to. His blinding smile seems to win her over when she thinks it over, and they take off.

"Edward, let's dance." I tell him.

Edward and I go close to where Peter and his fellow are dancing. Peter excuses himself from dancing with his partner and comes to dance with Edward and I. Edward is at my front and peter is at my back. Edward tries to dance without touching me for a moment, but Peter tells him something, I can't quiet catch. They both then start grinding against me. Peter starts moving around to my side and before long he is grinding against Edwards ass.

I thought Edward would lose it at this point but almost seemed to be enjoying himself. I am literally shocked speechless. I had to leave them so I could watch the show. I made my way over to where Ben and the woman were dancing and started grinding on her front as Ben worked behind her. When she asked us if we would like to go to her place, we sat back down at our table. Edward and Peter were still dancing. I couldn't believe Edward kept dancing. I wonder what is going on in his head at this moment. I order another orgasm and one for everyone else too.

When the song ends, Peter and Edward come back to the table. I can't help myself, "Enjoy that did you?"

"Um, yes. It was quiet fun." Edward as always with his 1900 speech. "Although, I think I liked it better when you were with us."

"Oh. My. Fuck. Did Edward just try to make a funny?" I can't believe it. I got to take it further now. "So out of all these fuck hot men, which would you do first?"

"Hmm." He looks around the bar, before he finally decides on something, "Peter, definitely."

My mouth drops open, Fuck I can't believe Edward is actually speaking about fucking another guy. I am speechless. Ben's mouth drops before he asks, "Why not me?" He is actually pouting about this. WTF?

"Nothing, you are just a bit too old for me." Edward replies. Ben looks disappointed still so Edward grabs a big round roll of brown paper towels on the table being cleaned beside us. He works on it for a second, and the long piece now has a round hole at the bottom. He hands it over to Ben asking him to hold it for a minute, placing it in front of his face. Edward then stands up with his crotch in Bens face.

Looking down working his hips forwards and backwards he decides, "No, Ben, Still wouldn't do you."

Peter and I crack up, laughing our asses off. I am about to cry thinking Edward wouldn't even do poor Ben with a paper bag covering his head. I throw my arm around Ben, "I'd do ya, if I didn't have a Fuck hot man myself back home."

"Thanks, but just not the same, Isabella." Ben tells me still pouting that Edward the virgin would do Peter but not him.

"Come on, Ben, you know I'd do you." Peter grabs Benjamin's hand and leads him out to the dance floor to dance with him.

I finally catch a breath, and Edward asks me seriously, "Would you do another female, Bella?"

"Hmm, don't really know if I would or not. I have my Major and for now he is more than enough. But maybe after I am turned, and I get bored, yeah. Yes, I think I probably would."

He thinks this over for a minute. "I didn't think you would ever be the type to do something like that."

"Edward, I am not the same person I use to be. I know that it is hard for you to understand, but i have grown and changed a lot over the past couple of years. If you find any kind of happiness you should grab onto it with both hands and never let it go. If you find that for a little while with another male or a female, so bit it. Who cares? It is your life, do what makes you happy. Don't worry what everyone else has to say about it. Life is short, even in your immortal state, you could still die tomorrow. So live life. That's all I know to say to you. Find whatever happiness you can, and enjoy yourself."

He thinks this over, and is quiet for entirely too long. He looks so lost in his thoughts that I decide to go grab another drink at the bar, and then join my boys on the dance floor. Eventually Edward comes back to life, and comes to where we are. He whispers something to Ben, then grabs Peters hand and they both take off out the door.

I nod my head in that direction and Ben and I go outside of the club. "What was that all about?"

"Edward wanted to talk to Peter about something. I said I would take you home and to go ahead. I hope you don't mind."

"Nah, I think Edward had an epiphany tonight. Don't want to ruin that for him." We head back to where we arrived in the city. It wasn't long before we were walking in the door at home. I walk over to Jasper and cuddle into his side. He is talking to Tia and Char, and the boys haven't returned yet.

"Have any of you heard from Edward or Peter?" I wonder what is going on. Was it really that deep of a discussion?

"No, but they will drag in when they are ready. Peter will take care of them both, don't worry."

Everyone continues to talk; I just sit here with my eyes closed thinking about my Major. It isn't long before Edward comes running through the front door, I would have missed it if it wasn't for the door exploding and Char disappearing.

Jasper, Tia and Ben are all rolling with laughter. "What, someone tell me!" Damn I want a good laugh to.

"Edward burst through the front door, grabbed Char and took back off." Well obviously I did catch that much of it.

"What's so funny about that?"

Tia talks through her laughter, "He wasn't wearing any clothes, and he said, Peter couldn't take anymore he had to come get Char, because Peter refused to take it anymore."

"..."Really Edward lost his virginity to Peter? Damn, color me fucking confused. Never in my life did I think something like that would happen. It didn't take long for me to join in on their laughter.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I woke up still on the couch snuggled up in Jaspers lap. I looked around trying to figure out what had woken me, because it was still dark outside.

Peter then moaned, "I said don't fucking laugh!" He was scowling at everyone. It was then I saw everyone trying to hold in their laughter.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tia is the one who breaks finally, "Peter didn't realize after a hundred years, Edward wouldn't want to stop, and he is a hurtin' something fierce this morning."

Peter then scowls at us all, and gets up and walks with a limp and bent over towards his room. I then finally catch on to what they are talking about. Edward has fucked him senseless. Char isn't in much better shape as she joins Peter in her walk to their room. Edward just sits there looking all kinds of embarrassed of what he has done to the couple.

I roar out in laughter, cause that shit is funny. "Good job, Edward. Was it all you thought it would be?"

"Hell yes!" Edward used what I think may be his first curse word looking proud as a peacock. I am so proud of him for going after what he wants.

Thanks for all the reviews. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and no Edward isn't gay, he is just experimenting after 100 years of celibacy. Or I think he is, we will see what you all think. Tell me your thoughts! Did you enjoy it, was it terrible? Let me know!

Thanks to Krystal214 for helping me out with this chapter, and also to Kathy Hiester.
