A/N: I'm so, so sorry that I haven't updated in months. I had writers block, and I had just moved recently, so I have been unpacking and decorating. I will try to update faster this time!

I would like to thank my new beta, Winged and Dangerous!

I hope you like this chapter!

Sadly, I will never own Twilight, but a person can wish, right?

Chapter 9

A loud, animalistic growl echoed through the thrown room, soon followed by equally fierce growls from my family. I glanced around the room quickly, taking in the scene. All of the Volturi guard were in low crouches with their teeth bared, growls tearing through their chests. Aro and my Uncles were sitting rigidly in their thrones, and I didn't even need to read Uncle Caius's mind to know that he would love to rip Edward apart for touching me. My eyes shifted to the Pack who were shaking slightly, an occasional growl coming from their throats every now and then. Their imprints had moved closer to my father and my uncles, and I could see all of them, especially Emily and Kim, glaring daggers at Edward (I was closer to both of them, knowing 'em longer).

The Cullen's were probably a big surprise to everyone in the room besides my closest friend, who already knew how much most of they despised or were disgusted by Edward. They were also in crouches, besides Esme and Carlisle, and glaring at Edward with such hatred, you wouldn't know they were even family. Not by blood, mind you, but close enough. My gaze lingered on Alec, the one who had growled first, and if I wasn't so pissed right now, I would have jumped him. His normal topaz eyes--just as beautiful as his ruby eyes used to be--were now a pitch black, trained on Edward. His dark brown hair, almost black, was tousled like sex hair, probably from earlier events. His pale skin sparkling faintly from the window that was in the room, and his perfectly straight teeth shining as he bared them at Dickward. I mentally shook my head to break away from those thoughts; I needed to deal with Edward first.

All of this happened in two seconds (Yes, I was counting) and I decided it was long enough. I ripped away from Edward violently, and I barley saw his shocked expression before he was on the ground writhing in pain--I guess he still thought I was that fragile little human he once dated.

I didn't even spare a glance to Jane when I put my hand up, telling her to stop. I wanted to deal with this...problem on my own.

He stopped twitching, laying there for a second, probably in shock from the pain that happened so suddenly, before shooting up and smiling at me, a little to smug for my taste.

"Thank you, love," he said, before shooting a smirk to Alec.

My eyes narrowed, but I had to fight a smile when I saw Alec smirk right back, knowing that I didn't stop Jane out of kindness.

I smirked at Edward, before teleporting behind him, faintly hear gasps coming from the Cullen's now behind me. I showed no sign of hearing them besides the faint smirk that played on my red lips. I closed my eyes briefly, feeling the familiar tingling that ran through my body. I heard more gasps, and I could practically hear the jaws dropping when the Cullen's saw that same human girl who had her heart broken by their asshole of a brother and son so long ago.

Edward whipped around, probably smelling my mouth watering scent that he almost killed me over on the first day of school in Biology. I had to swallow down my laughter at his hilarious expression, covering it with a fierce glare. He flinched at my coldness, and just tell you, it was fucking priceless!

"B...Bella?" he stuttered, probably confused out of his mind.

You're probably wondering why I didn't just feel his emotions or read his mind. Well, when I'm in human form I can't use any of my gifts besides putting thoughts in minds, but I'm not defenseless. I am still as strong and fast as a vampire, and my skin isn't soft like it looks.

I walked over to Edward, and I could see him waiting for me to trip over my feet, but I just smirked. I continued walking until I was almost touching him, before stopping, and staring up at his once handsome face.

I tilted my head to the side, before sending a thought to him, watching him jump as he received it.

'Have you missed me, Edward?'

He jumped back, surprise written on his face, and I took the chance while I had it. I changed back quickly, throwing my fist after immediately after. A sound like thunder echoed through the room, and I smiled, satisfied....for now. I know I could have just done that sooner, but I had fun playing with him; I guess I'll have to do it again. Cue evil laughter.

I walked--skipped--back over to Alec, who had been smirking through the whole thing, pecked him on the lips, and wrapped my arms around his waste.

I could feel Jane's gaze on me, and I gave her a barley noticeable nod. I knew what she wanted.

'Only once, we don't want him to hurt so he would leave, do we?'

I looked at her, and she smirked evilly back at me. Her gaze soon landed on Edward, and with one look she sent him to the floor again.

I looked around the room and saw everyone still looking furious, but they could wait for now. They can have their chance later if that's what they want.

Yeah, I guess you can tell they really hate Edward. I mean, look how pissed they get from a single touch. Hmmm.

I looked around the room again, before looking at Rose and Alice. They were smirking from evil pleasure (A lot of people were smirking today!), and I smiled brightly in return.

"What do you say about shopping?" I asked cheerfully, "I need new clothes anyways," My eyes narrowed a little, remembering my closet.

They looked at me curiously, but didn't ask, and I was grateful for that. I didn't want to get mad all over again.

Alice started bouncing up and down and screamed, "YES!"

Rose was calmer, but you could see the twinkle in her eyes, "Of course."

I looked over at Leah, Emily, Kim, Claire, Jennifer, Alex, and Jordan, who were Jake's, Paul's, and Embry's imprints. Brady, Collin, and Seth still haven't found their imprints yet, but I'm hoping they will soon. I want them to be as happy as possible.

The girls nodded excitedly, happy to have some girl time. I looked at their wolves, and was happy to see that they were fine with it. I'm sure if it was 50 years ago, they wouldn't have let them anywhere near a vampire, but they were actually really close to the Volturi, and trusted all of them.

My smile widened and I squealed, bounding over to Father and my Uncles, giving them tight hugs, then hugging the rest of the guard and the Cullen's.

I skipped back over to Alec, and smiled at him sweetly. I hugged him, inhaling his familiar and comforting scent. I pulled back, and was surprised when he leaned in and kissed me hard on the mouth. I moaned a little, and wrapped my arms around his neck, digging my fingers in his soft, straight hair. (Okay, picture his hair a more Emo hair cut! I know his hair isn't really like that, but he would look sexy with it!) His arms wound them selves around my small waste, pulling me closer until I was pressed against his rock hard chest. I was about to deepen the kiss, but a cough made us brake apart.

Emmett, the one who coughed, was smirking at us, but there was a little disgust in his eyes. I could only guess it was from just witnessing his little sister making out with her husband.

"Enjoying yourself, Bella?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

I nodded, "Yep!"

He rolled his eyes at me, and I stuck my tongue out at him in reply. I know, very mature.

He opened his mouth, but was cut off by an impatient pixie, "Bella, stop shoving your tongue down Alec's throat so we can go!"

I just sighed, before pecking Alec softly again, and whispering, "I love you," against his lips.

His lips curled into a smile, and whispered back, "I love you, too."

I smiled at him and gave him one more kiss before I left. I walked over to Alice, who had her hands on her hips and was tapping her foot impatiently. I rolled my eyes and grabbed her arm, "Calm on, you evil pixie."

She giggled, falling into step beside me. Rosalie walked over to my other side, and hooked our arms together, Alice soon following.

We walked over to the door, but stopped while I looked behind us with raised eyebrows, "Well," I said, "Aren't you coming?"

The other girls scurried over after giving their husbands/boyfriends kisses good bye. I suddenly felt a wave a jealousy, and looked at Jane surprised. She was glaring at Rose and Alice who were attached to my arms, and had a little sadness in her eyes. She actually thought I was going to replace her? She's crazy!

I smiled at her gently when she met my gaze. 'Jane, you know you're my best friend, and you will always be my best friend. I know Alice and Rose are here and I used to be best friends with Alice, and I still am, but you're my first best friend. Okay?'

She nodded, looking relieved, and a little embarrassed for getting caught.

Nobody else caught this silent conversation except for Alec. He smiled at me gratefully, and thought to me, 'Thank you, Bella. I know you're close to Alice and Rosalie, but thank you for being Jane's best friend. She needs you.'

I nodded and gave him one last smile before leaving the room with everyone following.

Well, I hope you liked it!
