Disclaimer :- I do not own Twilight

Some general news about the story - I have put a few hints in here on the issue of what happened to Bella in Phoenix. Edward will find out in a few chapters time. Maybe about chapter 10 or 11. I think. I have done a basic outline on what happens in each chapter before I even posted the first chapter but I keep on changing it a little bit. I get ideas as I go along. The main story has always been the same but stuff like The Dares and everything, I didn't think of it until when I was writing it. :P

So it starts of with the remainder of the sleepover and then the revenge (insert evil laugh here). Also I did a little bit of Rosalie's POV and I've never done her really before so I hope she is alright (I did a little of her POV in my other chapter but I wrote this one first). It was hard because you don't really get to know her in the books but I actually like her. In fact I feel really sorry for Rosalie in this story, more than in Twilight (especially when we found out what happened to her in her human life in Eclipse), because she's the seventh wheel. She has no mate of her own :(

Oh yeah, my Beta's still away so this chapter hasn't been looked at so sorry for any errors. Well onto the story.

Chapter 8
APOV

It was the day after the sleepover and Bella had just left. Now, I would have to face the wrath of Edward, who was still in a huff with Rose and I over the whole "I'm in love with Bella" thing. But no biggie. What could he do after all? He's only a 107 sexually repressed vampire. I may not be as old as him but I definitely have more experience when it comes to living. Edward didn't even have a life before Bella. And I mean that in the best possible sense.

Sure, it was romantic that he had been hung up over her for decades. In a way he was waiting for her. But really, all he did was listen to music, hunt, go to school etc. Just the essentials. You would think since we were practically invincible, he would do something crazy once in a while. Maybe when Bella is changed (and she will be, don't worry. I mean, come on, he's going to change her in the end. He wouldn't be able to handle her dying and I know Bella wants it), she could find the wild side of him.

But in the end, Edward was Edward. He didn't see himself clearly, like Bella. They both thought they weren't good enough for each other which just makes me laugh.

The truth is - they're not good for each other. They're perfect for each other.

After we resumed our sleepover, we watched the movie. Personally I didn't find it scary, but maybe that's just because I know if it was real, it couldn't harm me. Bella, however, was scared out of her wits and spent half the time, hiding her face in a pillow. After that, we put on Legally Blonde so she wouldn't get nightmares. Edward would be angry otherwise that we had made Bella watch a horror film.

Rose left for a little while to look up some more horror films to order. She thought they were hysterical, especially Bella's reactions. I took advantage of this moment to have a little 'heart-to-heart' with her. Ever since I had put on Legally Blonde she had been looking sort of sad and I wanted to know why. I loved Bella like my own sister and I didn't like to see her upset.

"What's wrong, Bella?" I asked softly, sitting down beside her. She looked at me.

"Nothing," she said lightly.

"Come on, Bella. Spill. I know you too well," I said, putting on my sad face. Boy, these sad faces were making a big appearance today!

She sat silently for a few minutes, looking at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. "Ok, I'll tell you," she said in surrender. She scrutinized me. "Have you ever felt guilty when you're happy?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, say you … lost someone and it was all your fault and when you started to enjoy yourself, to be happy again - you felt guilty. It was all your fault that that person had died and they would never have the chance to feel happiness again. And then you think - God, what am I doing? He's dead and I'm … happy," she told me, her face looked tormented with tears in her eyes. "He didn't deserve it. It was all my fault." She threw her arms around me and started to sob. I comforted her and after a while, her sobs quietened down to silent tears leaking out of her eyes.

"Who died?" I questioned softly.

"No one. It's nothing," she said sharply. She started to retreat and put up the walls she always had around her.

"You can trust me," I told her.

"You wouldn't believe me," I heard her say quietly.

"Why? Come on, my family and me are all supposed to be mythical creatures!" I tried to persuade her.

She ignored my question. "You won't. I tried to tell the one person that I thought I could trust, well, the one person who was still alive, and she didn't." I decided not to push her, she would tell us when she was ready. I knew that, but it was still frustrating knowing that there was something hurting Bella inside and there was nothing I could do about it until she learnt to trust me enough to tell me.

"You should probably get some rest. Edward will be mad if his dearest Bella doesn't get her beauty sleep!" I joked. She nodded and she got into bed.

"Goodnight," I said and kissed her cheek. "I'll be right back." She looked curious and I got up and left. I knew that my vision wouldn't happen if I was still in the room.

RPOV

After I had ordered a few DVDs, I went into my bedroom. I was thinking about Bella in particular. As much as I hated to admit that I was wrong, it was the truth. At the start when Bella and Edward first got together, I thought that she was only going out with him because he was the 'unattainable, aloof boy', that she didn't care about Edward. I suppose I felt a bit protective of Edward, in many ways he was still an ordinary teenage boy with his first girlfriend. I admit I was jealous, Edward was supposed to be my mate but he didn't care that I was beautiful. It's not that I like Edward in that way, he's like a brother to me. It was just Bella was so … normal. I was wrong about that too. I suppose it's just my vanity talking. I didn't like it that Edward never gave me a second glance and this girl just comes along and all of a sudden he's like a love-sick puppy!

I knew that I should explain why I was so mean to Bella when we first met. What struck me most at the sleepover was that it was like Bella was always a member of our family. It was like Bella didn't need to earn her way into being a Cullen, she just was one. When I first got changed, I sometimes felt like I had to prove myself, show that I was worthy to be a Cullen.

We were actually quite infamous among vampires, we were the family that had rebelled against our very nature and had abstained from our natural appetite. We lived among humans peacefully and we were unusually large for a coven. Our 'leader' was a doctor, a man who was subjected to blood numerous times a day and he still didn't take advantage of that to feed his thirst!

I suppose I felt a bit resentful towards Bella that she had become a member of the family so easily, so effortlessly, whereas I had to work to earn that title. I knew that the time would come when Bella would become a Cullen officially and for eternity but I didn't want that life for Bella. My life. She shouldn't have to give up her humanity for love, she would be subjected to an eternity of fighting her hunger, an eternity of boredom and three days of unimaginable torture as well. And for what? Love and a new family.

I didn't understand love. How could it be so powerful that it would bind people together and when they were apart, make the two of them so sad? I sometimes dreamt of meeting my perfect match, my soul mate. I feel more lonely than ever now - everyone here has found their mate except me. Even Moody Edward has. God knows how Bella will be able to put up with his grumpiness masochistic nature if - when - they're together permanently.

I listened carefully, Bella was all alone in Alice's bedroom. Maybe I could talk to her and confide in her. She's really a nice girl and I'm sure we could be good friends. I didn't want her to that I didn't like her and feel uncomfortable around me.

I decided that I would go. I knocked softly before going in. Bella sat up and asked, "Rosalie? What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to talk."

"Oh," was all she said. I could see she was still a little nervous around me. "So…?" she trailed of.

"I just wanted to have a little talk, I wanted to explain some things to you. I know when you and Edward first got together that you noticed that I was … let's just say, not the keenest on your relationship." No need to go into the whole thinking Bella was a slut. Yeah, I don't think Edward would be pleased for one and for another I don't want Bella not to like me. I know I come out all confident but the truth is … inside I'm actually afraid that people might not like me. We all have our insecurities sometimes. Even me. Sometimes I think that the only reason the Cullens put up with me is because of what happened in my human life and that I was also a fellow vegetarian vampire.

"I noticed."

"Yeah, and I would like to apologise about my behaviour. It's just Edward has never been in a relationship before, and as his sister, I was a bit overprotective of him. I didn't want for him to get hurt." More like I didn't want to deal with him being moody even more and going on his "Poor Me" chariot.

"No, I understand. I think. I accept your apology even though you didn't need to say sorry. It's ok."

"No, it isn't. If anything, I should have been thanking you for getting together with Edward. We were all - well, at least I was - starting to think that he was gay before you came along!" (A/N Yes, I couldn't resist. Has anyone else seen that very funny picture?) Bella blushed whereas I could hear a very angry growl from downstairs.

"Edward, I'm trying to have a private conversation with Bella. Stop eavesdropping or so help me, I won't fix up any of your cars EVER again," I thought towards him. He growled again but I ignored him.

"If you don't mind me asking, what was it about me that offended you so much?" Bella asked seriously.

"Nothing, I was just being my normal selfish self. There was nothing wrong with you, except that you were human. I just didn't see how it could work out. The only ending that could foresee was heartbreak. Which is probably the reason why Alice is the psychic and not me. I was also a bit jealous, did Edward ever tell you how I was changed?"

"Um… no, he didn't. All he said was that you had had a tough time before you got changed and that Carlisle hadn't a choice if you were going to live. Why were you jealous?"

I told her all about my human life, though I edited when I came to the change, I didn't want a furious Edward after me. Or well, an even angrier Edward, he's already furious between the whole dare and the gay comment. Ah well. What can he do? I told her about Royce and how I knew that she wanted to be one of us. How I felt about that. I wasn't opposed to her, I just didn't think she deserved the life we had to lead.

Once I finished, it was silent for a few minutes. "I'm so sorry, Rosalie," Bella said and reached over to give me a hug. "What you have been through … it's so sad. Men like that should not be alive!" she said fiercely.

"Don't worry, he's not. I made sure of that," I joked. We were silent for another few minutes. "Well, it's late and I know Edward won't be happy if your really tired in the morning thanks to his two loving sisters who kept you up," I grinned at her. "Sometimes I think that he is more like a father to you than your boyfriend!"

"He's just a little bit protective. I have to admit I am tired," she tried to stifle a yawn. "So see you in the morning?"

"Yeah, goodnight." I left her to sleep and went back to my room. Alice knocked on my door a few minutes later and came in. We talked for the rest of the night, while Edward "sneaked" into Bella's room to watch her sleep. I still thought that was a bit weird, how could he be so entertained by watching her rest. She didn't do anything interesting, well that's what I thought. She talked in her sleep so maybe that was the reason. He was rather proud of himself that he managed to "sneak past" Alice when really Alice was just too tired of trying to keep Edward away from Bella on our sleepover.

I suppose it was cute, in a way. But also a little bit creepy. If I was human and I met a man that loved me for me and not for what I looked like or what I represented, I would still not let him watch me sleep.

EPOV

I left Bella off back at her house this morning before returning to my home to plan out my revenge. I was originally going to do all the planning the night before but the desire to watch Bella sleep was too strong. It wouldn't take long anyways. I couldn't wait to see their faces.

First of all I would need some assistance. I knocked on Jasper's study and walked in. He was reading, as per usual. It was a routine of him to read for at least a hour every day.

Jasper was reluctant at first, he didn't want to get on Alice's bad side. He was a wimp when it came to Alice, hated being in the doghouse with her (Hmm, Edward, ever heard of the saying 'The pot calling the kettle black'? lol). Sometimes he reminded me of a puppy dog. I had never really understood how someone could have such a hold over someone, until I met Bella. But a few choice words and Jasper agreed to help me.

Jasper retrieved two pairs of handcuffs (oh yes, the handcuffs make an appearance again. They're not the same ones though :P) from the bottom drawer of his desk. I don't even want to think about what Alice and him did with those.

"Won't they be able to break through them though?" I asked when I saw them.

"Oh no, they're made from werewolves' skins, diamond (It's really hard right?) and the remains of a dead vampire." (Oh yeah, just so no one gets confused, the vampire is dead. It's the charred remains of a vampire. It's sorta like ashes or dust though really hard so that no vamp can get out of these.)

"I'm not even going to ask where you got that from and what you use it for."

"Good choice," he smirked. "Remember, you tell Alice that this was not my idea and that the handcuffs are yours."

"Fine," I said irritably. I would tell her but I know she wouldn't believe me. What the hell would I need a pair of handcuffs vampire style? And not just the one pair, two pairs?

Alice had been distracted by Bella and Rose ever since I started planning on my revenge and I knew how to surprise Alice. When you've lived with her for decades and helped in her experimentations with her gift you pick up some things. But now it was morning and she was in her room on her own, bored - bad idea. She was more likely to find out our plan if she wasn't doing anything. We had discovered that she could still get visions at any time, especially if she was focusing on getting one, but if she was busy and/or distracted, she unconsciously rejected visions that were not important. She could still have them but visions were more reluctant to come.

I told Jasper to distract her while I finished up with the plans. From what I unwillingly heart, he succeeded in his mission.

I finished up with my plans, made a few phone calls out of hearing from any vampires that might have been listening at the time and I was ready. I phoned Bella as well to tell her about the cancellation in the plans Alice had made for them both to go shopping later on that day.

"Jasper, it's time," I said in a normal tone of voice. I knew that he would hear me. I made my way to Rose's room and went in without knocking. She would have heard my approach anyways. I came in to see her looking in the mirror. Typical Rose. Some things never change.

She was so absorbed in looking at herself that she hadn't realised that I was in her room. It wasn't that she was admiring herself, she was looking at herself critically as if trying to reassure herself that she was still flawlessly beautiful.

I got out the handcuffs and pounced. She shrieked in shock and tried to fight me off of her but I was too fast and snapped the handcuffs into place.

"What the hell are you doing?" she screamed at me. I could hear Alice scream similar things, Jasper had been successful as well.

I didn't answer her and she futilely tried to escape from the shackles. "Damn you," she continued to swear with a impressive - and extensive - vocabulary. Her parents would have been so proud.

"Come on, Rose," I told her sternly. "We can either do this the hard way or the easy way. I personally recommend the easy way. Easy way - you come with us without a big fuss or hard way - we'll drag you there if we have to. So which way are you going to choose?"

"Edward, your such a drama queen," she rolled her eyes, though still furious. "All this over one kiss. I'm. Not. Going. Wherever. You're. Planning," she said slowly, enunciating each word.

"Edward, a little help," Jasper called, his voice strained.

"Sure, one second." I turned to Rosalie. "You stay." I pulled her onto her chair and tied her up with rope, especially made for vampires. One word of advice - if you ever move in with a family of vampires, make sure you have your own supply of vampire rope. Always comes in handy.

I found Jasper wrestling with Alice, trying to drag her out of the room to the car ready and waiting for us and the victims. A funny sight to behold - tall lanky Jasper trying to drag a miniscule pixie Alice who was grabbing at everything and anything to stop her from being pulled into the car. Jasper had managed to get her downstairs, but couldn't get her any further than that. I was tempted to just sit and watch as it was so entertaining but then she grabbed my piano and dragging it across the floor, making it to slam into the bookcase she had also dragged down from Jasper's study and the mountains of DVDs that they had upended in their battle. An admirable feat when you consider the fact that she did this all handcuffed. Alice was screaming so loud, I was convinced that even the people in Seattle would be able to hear her. I ran forward to help Jasper wrestle Alice into the car.

Carlisle was lucky enough to be working so he didn't have to listen to this racket, though Esme was not as fortunate. She had been out buying some more paint and new furniture in preparation of next month's theme. She was not expecting to come and find her sitting room / hall to be a chaotic, cluttered mess.

"What is going on here?" Esme asked, her mouth wide open and looking amused though trying to hide it.

"Pay back," I said simply.

"Ah," she nodded knowingly. "I'll be in my room if anyone wants me. Be sure to clean up after you've finished," she said as she went up the stairs and disappeared into her room.

"Esme, Mom! They're trying to kill me!" she yelled dramatically. "Help me!"

"Sorry, Alice. This is something you'll have to work out with your brother and your husband. You did after all kiss Edward's girlfriend," we heard her say.

"Grrr…" she growled. "Please Jasper, you're hurting me," she changed tactics and went into her whimpering puppy dog mode but I was ready for that. Jasper however paused, torn between his desire to make Alice happy or to stay with the plan. Alice had stopped fighting to go along with her change of tactics so I took advantage of that to throw her into the car and I started to tie her up as quickly as possible. Alice screamed in frustration knowing that she had lost.

Jasper and I ran upstairs to retrieve Rose who was still swearing loudly and trying to escape. We didn't bother untying her and just picked up the chair. She tried to fight back though it was half-heartedly. She knew that we had won.

We threw her in the car as well and then we got in as well in the front seats. I drove us to where the private plane that Bella and I had travelled yesterday in and we carried them onboard. Jasper knew how to fly so I told him to keep an eye on the girls while I straightened out all the paper work for us to take it out. It didn't that long though, and soon enough we were in the sky.

I could hear Alice and Rose's complaints and when Alice saw what we had in plan for her, she got even louder and ruder in her whining. We landed and Jasper and I carried the girls into the place I had arranged. It was on the private beach where I had taken Bella for our first date. We took Rose to the underground garage that we had built under the beach house for Rose so she had a place to work on the cars.

We set her down and tied her up extra tight to a really hard metal chair and chained her ankles as well (they were also ones made for especially vampires). She was in perfect view of everything.

She could see all the wrecked cars, but not irreparable and all the tools lying around, begging her to help save these cars lives. This was her punishment. She would have to sit there for three days being tortured by the wish - the need - to repair all the cars.

Next was Alice. We sat her down in a previously empty room in the beach house. Now it was full of fashion magazines, all the latest clothes and the best makeup. We tied her up to an identical metal chair and shackled her ankles together. She would have to go three days without shopping just staring at the clothes, teasing her.

Yes, we were evil.

We would return in three days time to collect both of them up and would tell the teachers at school that they had went camping. We would tell Carlisle and Esme the truth, they would find out anyways. I knew them well enough to know that they would find it funny more than anything.

We left to the squeals of horror and sorrow. That will teach them.

I knew that they wouldn't be there for the full three days, it wasn't ever going to happen. Either Jasper was going to crack or they would find someway for us to release them. But until then - Mission accomplished.

Just another day living with the Cullens.

Ah Edward, always the theatrical one. I know pretty lame, but it was the best I could come up with at the time. :P

I'm sorry that this chapter took ages, I just kept on changing my mind on what the revenge would be. I was also away for a week with no internet access and Breaking Dawn came out as well which was very exciting. I've also been very busy over the last week as well, so much to do, so little time.

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BREAKING DAWN DON'T READ THIS PARAGRAPH!! - IT HAS ONE BIG SPOILER IN IT SO YOU WERE WARNED! - I loved BD, and I don't see how anyone didn't. I don't understand the people that have been hating on it! The only part I didn't like was the whole Jacob imprinting with Renesmee, that was WEIRD and slightly sick. To be honest I HATE Jacob (sorry to all the Jacob fans) as do most of my friends and we were secretly hoping that he would die (SORRY again) in BD. Ah well, I would have been fine if he imprinted on someone else IF they lived far far away and he ran off with her (or him? Lol) and was never heard of again. I've always secretly suspected that he might be gay and the only reason he didn't like Edward was because he wanted him all for himself though that doesn't even make sense. Haha. Edward would have picked up on it in his thoughts. It's just … sick. I mean why on HER? And the whole thing when Edward says goodbye to him (you know the part where he calls her his son). I can just imagine the stories Jacob will tell the kids - "I remember the day when I fell in love with your grandmother and when I tried to split your grandparents up. Good times. . ." haha

Another thing that I just thought of now. You know E & B's first date in my story, where they went to the beach that the Cullens owned with their own little mansion-beach-house and where the revenge took place in THIS chapter. Well, I was just thinking - that place was very similar to Isle Esme or was it just me? lol

YOU CAN READ AGAIN - On a different note, while I was still deciding what the revenge would be I worked on the next few chapters (mainly the one where Edward finds out) so updates will be quicker and I updated The Best You Never Had a few times as well. :)I'm surprised that it's doing so well, it's more popular than A Vision of Love! If you haven't checked out TBYNH (I shortened it :P), then please do after you've finished this chapter! lol

Review! I really tried to do Rosalie well so I would like some feedback on if you liked the way I portrayed her or not. I thought that doing a variation of the scene in Eclipse where Rosalie tells Bella about her past was important. It helped establish her character in Bella's eyes and her story gave Bella a lot to think about ;)

So, the fun fun weekend is over and back to the actual story … Yes, you had a couple of fluffy chapters so it's only fair.

Wow, this is a long ending AN. lol

Love
Smile! Edward Luvs Yhoo :)
