Beta Note – Hi all, just going to take the moment to say review this amazing story. If you also wouldn't mind, I'd love you all to go and have a look on my profile for the other stories I am currently beta-ing :) - Love, Emmy1512

"Ok, just one more question ... where are they? .... And why did they just leave me?" I took a deep breath. I wanted to ask so much, and not that I wasn't really happy that my family was ok but I didn't understand why. Why kill all other vampires and not my family? By the look on Aimee's face, she knows the answer to my questions, and was dying to be able to answer them, so to put her out of her miserly I asked "why did they just leave my family? They were going to kill us and ...."

"They don't kill vampires, they drain them" Adam butted in before Aimee had time to answer.

I gave Adam a confused look and then remembered what Jake had shouted before Clo had knocked me out. He had said that they were draining their powers.

"Yes, dear the New Order drains vampires' powers and keep their energy and their gift (if they have one) for themselves making their victim weak and defenceless. They often don't kill their victims, just leave them to die, you see dear....."

Aimee came over to the front of the desk, to where I was sat, and crouch down next to me. She looked at my face for a moment and was obviously searching my brain for what I was thinking and how I was accepting what she was saying. As soon as she realised that I was coping quite well she continued...

"The can only kill a vampire by sucking whatever runs through their veins to the extent they have no venom left in their bodies and they turn back.... human...but then die moments later, because they become the age that they should be by now, if they hadn't been turned all those years ago."

"Oh my gosh, that's awful... they tried to do that to my family?... well... well why did they stop?... not that I'm not thankful, just confused. If they had done this to so many ... so many people than why not..."

"Because my army and I stopped them" Adam cut me off which I was quite glad for this time, the fear of what could've happened to my family was too much for me to continue the sentence.

"You stopped them from killing my family ... from killing me" a huge lump had developed in my throat and I began to struggle to breathe, tears formed in my eyes and all I could get out was "thank you .... Thank you so much"

"It's ok, they got what they deserved. We were already on their tail, watching what they were up to, getting ready for them to drop their defence so that we could attack. We weren't expecting to be needed for a saving mission..." a broad smile spread across Adam's face as he looked at me proudly, and then he went into officer mode as he filled me in on their battle.

"They have some new skilled vampires; which made it hard to attack, but we managed to intervene, killing and losing some in the process, but helped enough for your family to escape. The two who were watching you and your err... your boyfriend...came to help them, leaving you and the... err... wolf alone. He carried you away to safety but was soon needed. You were unconscious still, and he decided to hide you and go help. We said that we would get you and bring you back here so you were safe until things had calmed down... and the rest you know"

I just looked at him, because I don't think I have heard anyone, especially him, speak as much in one very quick minute, and also, I just wanted to give him a big kiss.

He has saved my family, he ... he is my hero

"well I do try,... but the kiss wouldn't go to miss" he gave me a cheeky grin, but I didn't mind that he was probably only joking and wasn't expecting me to jumped up and give him a big kiss on the cheek, but when I did his shocked face soon turned into a grin.

"Thank you" I said again

"Don't mention it"

"Excuse me Mrs. and Mr. Solari, but we have some quests approaching the wall" a muscular voice said out of nowhere.

"Ok thank you Gerry, we will be up in the control room in a minute and we will check if there the... right quests" Aimee said in a very posh and bossy tone

Bella's POV

It had been a long day of running, and as night was approaching all I wanted to do was go back to last Friday and be all cuddled up as a family, watching a film, but we weren't, we were running through the country towards the south. To the valley, and to my daughter; to help stop and kill the monsters who are terrorising the vampire world. We had been running for hours and I had gotten bored at watching the time go by on my watch, but I was estimating it was about midnight because it was dark. I suppose that it would have been darker to a human eye but even I thought it was dark with my sensitive eye sight that rarely was affected by the light.

I turned to my left to see Edward running hand in hand with me. He had the hardest emotion on his face. He had been quite distant from me recently, but I suppose that's acceptable seeing as he had just found out that a friend who he had come rather close to, was actually out to kill him, and his daughter was currently with complete strangers on the other side of the country.

Ness and Edward are very close, she is definitely a daddy's girl, and I knew that it was tearing him apart not been near her or knowing she was safe. I could imagine the heart ache that Jake must be going through, because I was going through it too. He might be bonded to Ness but the imprint, but in a way so am I.

I love her so much, Jake was on my right. I couldn't see his, face as he was facing the other way and his emotions are not very clear when he is in his wolf form. Next to Jake were the rest of the family, most running hand in hand, and talking to each other.

There were also a couple of friends that I know from our last big problem, when the Volturi tried to kill Ness, because they thought she was an infant vampire.

Thank god we managed to clear that one up

I don't know what my life would be like without Ness, and now she might be gone, but I was trying to stay positive otherwise I was sure both Edward and Jake were going to break down there and then. We had most the old crew here again, including the Amazonian coven with Zafrina, Senna, and Kachiri. We didn't have to ask them twice. Zafrina and Ness have developed a huge bond over the years and they would do anything for each other. She had become a sort of god mother to Ness, and had bought a house over here so she could spend time with her.

Lucky for us, she happened to be down at the moment and came to help, then called down Senna and Kachiri to help the fight.

Tanya, Carmen, Eleazar, Kate, Irina and Garrett from the Denali coven also flew in and we met up with them on our way down south.

I was gazing into nothingness as I started daydreaming, and the world I was in slowly drifted into the back of my mind, and a new one appeared, a new world where we were all happy and I wasn't running to safe my child, but running with her to go feed as we played and laughed as we rolled around in the ground, we were...so happy...

"We're here" a stern voice said from the formation of guards that the priory, the wonderful priory who saved us when Emmy and her coven, who we later found out were called the New Order, tried to drain us all of our powers.

Flashbacks started to enter my wonderful daydream as I grabbed Edward's hand tighter. He let go and stopped, which brought me back to the real world. I was the last to stop and everyone crowded around the guards who were looking around and smiling. I turned to Edward confused and he filled me in that they could see the village but we couldn't. They had been vaccinated against the spell around the village that made it invisible. I smiled at him, glad he had filled me in as to why everyone else seemed to know what was happening, and I was out of the loop.

"Ah it's good to be home.... well let us in then..." the large guard said jollily.

He was obviously the chief or the commander of the group of guards, as he was always at the front and giving out orders, he turned to me and smiled

"And door opening now... And it's good to see you to chief"

I knew it

The voice came from nowhere, making me quickly look around to see where it was from, then all of a sudden a large wooden castle like door swung open slowly so we had a chance to move before it squashed us flat. Not that it would have succeeded, but it could have tried.

"well don't just stand there gawping... and come on in" the same guard said in a cocky tone as he walked over the door into the archway that was now producing music and laughing from the inside, but it looked like the inside to nowhere, as if you would walk in and walk out of the door in front of you. It wasn't until the guards started disappearing as they walked down the draw bridge door that was sitting on the floor and into the middle of the archway that you realised that there was something there.

"He's right... come on gang, lets go get Ness and see if we can sort this mess out" Carlisle said happily at first, and then a little sourly as he got to the sorting the mess out bit of the short speech. Then after a couple of seconds people took a unneeded deep breath and started walking into the middle of the drawbridge's transparent centre.

Edward grabbed my hand again and we entered last, after Alice, who was whistling and skipping along like her happy self, and jasper; whowas walking suspiciously, whilst desperately trying to keep hold of Alice's hand that was jigging up and down and swaying forward and backwards as she skipped.

As we went through the archway I felt kind of stupid. It's never going to work I kept saying to myself, but as I was dragged towards the arch by Edward who was still in a good mood, I was amazed that as we walked through it instead of walking to the other side of the arch, we found ourselves inside of a large cobbled area that was filled with a market.

I turned around to see the drawbridge entrance looking as normal as ever, and as it closed behind us, you could see the field we had just walked through.

Now this is spooky

I never did take to magic, but I suppose I have to except the fact that it is real, just as real as vampires and werewolves, and we are defiantly here.

I looked around the market to see chickens and wooden stalls selling farm goods and animals. It was like looking at an old England film set before any technology was made. In a way, it was kind of refreshing to see a place where there wasn't someone shouting into a mobile or memorised by a TV, but weird at the same time. I imaged the fact that Edward had lived through the times that this scene belonged, I couldn't imagine my life without my mobile, Google and YouTube, but that's only because I'm still a human teenager at heart, and always will be, never mind how many centuries I lived.

I was suddenly being nudged slightly by Edward as he was indicating to turn around and go down a side road. I did as everyone else did, and we went down a couple of roads filled with tersised houses, all squashed together, but filled with nice doors and hanging baskets. This was definitely from a different period of time than the area we had just been in. The houses reminded me a little bit like London with the conjoined tall, thin houses.

I was deep in thought, and wasn't taking much care of where I was or where I was heading next until I looked up and gasped at the castle in front of me.

It was gorgeous a massive building with a large door and many pillars holding it up. The castle was made from large stone bricks, which looked like they had been individually cut and sanded to the same smooth and perfectly finished oval shape. The castle itself reminded me of the one the logo for Disney, but not blue. It was simple, magical and breathtaking. I was getting as excited as Alice when we were directed by a guard to go inside. Alice loves clothes, but she also loves interior decorating, and I'm sure if the inside matches up to the outside, then she will be on cloud nine as she checks out the place.

We walked down the long path that was covered in trees on either side that met in the middle with their top branches. They had light green leaves and covered in pink flowers. I'm not the gardener type, but I'm sure that flowers shouldn't be out in February. The rest of the front was gorgeous; there were bushes and flowers everywhere, and with every turn of your head you were thinking of this place as a fairytale more and more. We were all breath taken and walking almost in a trance.

Jake had turned back human, and was just catching up because he had hidden to get dressed. He always does that around me, which I wasn't about to disagree to, seeing as now he is my daughter's fiancé.

We walked up the long thin gravel path and towards a man who stood at the end. He looked very posh with his head held up high and his black trousers pulled up to his arm pits and a white shirt that poked out but was mainly covered by his black penguin suit jacket. He lowered his head to look at us then clicked the heels of his perfectly polished shoes and lead us into the castle's entrance, but he never said a word. As he looked me up and down quickly I did the same to him, I realised that he had a slight limp on one leg and a very unusual scar on his neck.

It looked like the scar I had saw earlier on the guard, that I just thought was from a previous fight, but as I looked round at the gardeners who were trimming bushes and mowing the extremely green grass, they also had this scar. Unusual.

We entered an entrance hall that definitely met its expectations; the main theme dark wood that was used on the desk, the floor, the skirting board and the large solid wood doors. The room was filled with statues of people; mainly half naked women which I don't normally like but they were still extraordinary.

We all huddled in and to my disappointment, Edward let go of my hand and walked over to talk to Emmett. I was stunned for a moment because I felt that Edward and I were helping each other get through this and he leaving me, even as stupid as it sounds, made me feel alone. I stood there sadly while everyone else looked around and another man, who looked like a twin to the man outside, stood up from the desk on my right to great us.

The man soon got talking to Carlisle, Esme was behind him and was he holding her hand she looked around and then fixed on me and I suddenly I looked away. I didn't want to upset her more by her knowing I was upset but nothing gets past Esme, as I had soon learned, and she started to walk towards me. I tried desperately to change the expression on my face and then looked up, not fully convinced my smile had hidden anything. She was just about to raise her arms to hug me when Jake stood up and punched me in the arm.

"Hey... what was that for?"

Jake completely ignored my question and carried on talking about how fantastic the place was. It soon came obvious that he wasn't much bothered by the castle, and that he was just making small talk,

"Jake.." before I had time to say any more Jake grabbed me and gave me a big bear hug which made me reluctantly best into tearless sob against his white v necked top, which I must say look fantastic on him as it clung to his well formed muscles.

"What is wrong Bells?"

"It's just... I need to.....NESS" I finally got out

"We will be with her soon" Edward said from behind me, but there was no sorrow in his voice. It was kind of harsh, but I was sure I was just over reacting. I pulled myself off Jake and flung into Edward making him stumble a little but instead of him soothing me and putting his arms around me, he just stood there like a cold brick wall. I suddenly felt stupid and backed off him and pulled my hands through my hair and looked up and Edward who hadn't even moved.

"If you would like to follow me, we will be meeting up with Mrs. and Mr. Solari and Ms. Cullen" the man from the reception said as he walked towards a glass double door that I hadn't seen earlier and then opened them. The sounds of birds and the lawn mower were clear from a distance, I didn't take in much of my surroundings as we walked across some more gravel paths, I was just so happy that I was moments away from been reunited with my daughter.

"MUM!" I heard Ness yell

"NESS!" I turned around to see Ness running towards me. She looked beautiful her tight ringlet hair was bouncing as she ran, and she looked so grown up in the beautiful cream dress she had on. I was so happy to see her happy and well.

As she sprinted towards us, the two people who were sitting on the little white garden table where Ness had just been sitting stood up and slowly walked towards me. Jake and I made our way towards Ness and for a second I lost all control I grabbed Ness and gave her a the biggest hug I could manage and started shouting at her and kissing her forehead

"Don't you ever do that again... you hear me... I thought I had lost you" I buried my head into her hair and inhaled her sweet smell.

"Missed you to mum"

I backed away from her and tried to take in that she was ok.

As soon as I had left her, Jake was right in and lifting her up off her feet to give her a kiss, as they both made out, I turned round to see were Edward was and was mortified to see that he was chatting to the boy who Ness had been sitting with. He was chatting to someone when we had just been reunited with our daughter. I almost walked over to him and slapped him. It took all my effort not to.

One by one everyone gave Ness a hug and a kiss, or in Emmet's case, a playful punch in the arm. Everyone but Edward, that is, and it was really annoying me that he didn't seem bothered that our daughter, who was put in grave danger, was safe and here.

What is wrong with him?

So what do you think is wrong with him? Tell me in a review. Go on. Hit that little button.
