All right, This chapter was long and is kind of a filler. It is needed, but long. So just a warning. Thank you for all of the wonderful reviews. Oh and as we all know, I own none of the characters.

Chapter 4. The talk.

I had so many questions for Angela. My head was spinning. But I knew it was getting late. If I was out much longer Edward would come looking for me.

"Angela, I better go. How about if you come by my house in the morning?" I looked at the door. If Edward started hunting for me, how long would it take him to follow me here? I really needed to give the Cullens a warning about Angela before they meet her. She looked like she understood.

" All right. I will see you around nine or so." She beamed. I took that as my cue. I smiled and I dashed out of her door.

I was home in no time. I parked my car and dashed into the house. It was only a little after midnight. I had beaten the boys back from their hunting trip. How they could hunt so early I will never know. I was refreshed and the thought of thirst was so light, it was almost ignorable. Eseme's insistence that we all hunt before the picnic was a great idea. The picnic. It seems like the picnic was weeks ago. I walked into the living room and saw the back of Alice's head bobbing to some music video playing on MTV. I walked passed her.

" I see we're having a visitor tomorrow." She stated, still bobbing her head to the music.

"Uh, yeah. The new teacher." I was going to tell the family when they are all here.

"Why can't I see who she is? I can see everything except her face." Alice pouted. I knew it was devastating for her to not see the future as clearly as she used to before Jacob.

"Uh, she's different." I tried to explain without telling her but I noticed that it wasn't working. "Can you keep this a secret from Edward? I don't want him to know just yet." Alice turned her head and her eyes lit up. She loved keeping secrets from Edward.

"I can keep a secret! What is it?" She was practically bouncing. She turned her whole body on the couch to face me.

"The new teacher is someone we know." I started. She stopped bouncing and tilted her head, she looked confused.

"We don't know anyone in Marks yet." She was searching her mind for clues.

"The teacher is new to Marks. It's Angela Weber." I had drawn out the suspicion long enough. Alice thought for a second. Her eyes shined with recognition.

"Angela?! The girl I sat next to at lunch in Forks?" I nodded. She clapped. "She's such a nice person! She'll make a great teacher and…." She stopped short. She started to understand why Angela wouldn't be a good teacher for us.

"We have to move." She stated blankly. I could tell she was upset with the idea. But she made a face. "I don't see us moving. Are my visions going away?" She was not enjoying the lack of clarity.

"Angela is, well, different." I saw Alice give me a look telling me to go on, "She's a witch." Alice let it sink in for a second and then a huge grin spread across her face.

"That's why we don't have to move!" She bounced. " I don't know anything about witches, but it would have to be okay." She was obviously excited about not having to move.

"Okay, just remember to keep this a secret from Edward, just until later in the day."

"8:05 AM right?" She smiled. I knew she was right. "When I know what I'm looking for, my visions become clearer." Then she looked up to second floor of the house. "As long as Jacob stays out of my way." She mumbled.

It was 8 AM. I had figured out how I was going to explain Angela to everyone. Jacob had just come down the stairs to join us for 'breakfast'. Renesemee and Jacob were the only ones that ate 'human' food. Renesemee still enjoyed hunting, but she would have to settle for eggs and bacon.

"I invited the new teacher to visit us today." I blurted out. It grew silent. The only sound was the sound of the bacon frying. The family looked at me as if I had grown a heartbeat and another leg.

"I wanted you all to meet her." I added. "She knew us from Forks." I instantly wished I had picked a different way to explain Angela. The family was shocked and then quickly all at once they began to speak.

"When do we move?"

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

" Bella, didn't you realize this is dangerous?" I raised my hands to quiet them down.

"It's Angela Weber, she went to school with us." Edward immediately knew who I was speaking of. Jasper, Rosalie and Emmet didn't seem to remember her.

"I don't think Angela will be a problem for us. She's a witch." There was a pause. Then slowly it sunk in.

"A real witch?" Jasper spoke the words slowly, he was taking in the words but not the semantics of the words.

" Is she dangerous?" Esme looked around at her family. She was obviously worried about us.

"No, according to Angela, witches are destructible, and she knows very little about us." Everyone seemed to relax, except Alice and Jacob, who weren't worried in the first place.

"I've never met a witch before, have you Carlisle?" Rosalie looked over at Carlisle.

"Just look in a mirror, blondie." Jacob shot. I smiled and Edward was fighting off laugh. The rest of the family looked like they were trying to laugh through the tense time. Rosalie glared at Jake.

"I hope she uses you for a potion." She replied, then turned her attention back to Carisle. "Have you ever met one?" Carlisle thought for moment. He was figuring out how to word his reply.

"When I spent some time with the Voultri, they were listening to the pleas of the witches. It was around the time of the English witch hunts. While many innocent humans were being killed, the ignorant villagers did manage to get quite a few real witches and burn them. Their leaders came to the Voultri seeking a place to hide. The Voultri blamed the witch hunts on careless witches that reveiled themselves to humans. We did not want to be exposed by the same witches, so we denied them help. They looked like humans and smelled like humans, yet we never thought of attacking them. They came into our city alone, and left unscathed." Carlisle said the last part quieter, as if he just noticed this. Jasper kept calming down the atmosphere around us and keeping the area serene.

" I think Angela will help us keep our secret in Marks." I started, "She may be quite a bit of help when it comes to Renesemee and me starting school." Just then we all heard the familiar crunch of gravel. Angela's car was pulling down our driveway.

"looks like our witch is on her way." Emmet smiled. Edward and I rushed outside to meet her at the driveway. She had a modest Toyota. It blended in with the cloudy sky. She parked and stepped out of her car.

"Hello." I walked up to her she smiled at us.

"Hi, Bella. Edward! You haven't aged a day." The familiar greeting made me giggle.

" I know." Edward's mouth twitched in a smile, "Angela, you look as lovely as ever." Edward started to lead the way.

"They are all very curious about you." Edward directed his comment to Angela. "We've never really met a witch before." She blushed.

I'm also very curious about you too. I'm the first witch to actually talk to a vampire in decades."

When we walked in the house, Carlisle and Esme were stationed near the stairs. Alice and Jasper were sitting on the stairs, arms intertwined, and Rosalie and Emmet were sitting on the couch. Renesemee and Jacob were seated on the floor near the TV. It was our practiced pose. The pose that we took when we had company. We had staged it and practiced it for hours, so that it would look casual. Edward and I belonged in the kitchen, sitting at the table doing homework, reading, or just chatting. Angela walked up to Carlisle and Esme and extended her hand.

"Thank you for letting me visit Mr. and Mrs. Cullen." She shook Carlisle's hand and Esme hugged her.

"It's nice to meet you dear." Esme sang. "We have so many questions for you." Esme ushered Angela into the living room and offered her a seat on the couch. Angela sat next to Rosalie and Emmet. I felt a wave of comfort flow throughout the house. It was good to know that Jasper wasn't going to try and intimidate Angela into telling us about her life.

"We must warn you, Rosalie and Emmet have a lot of restraint, but Jasper still struggles with our vegetarian diet. It is not wise to sit close to him." Edward warned. Angela glanced up at Jasper, who had joined us near the couch. The whole family was around the couch near Angela. She smiled.

"If I remember my studies correctly, I smell like a human, but I do not appeal to anyone. I don't smell edible." She stated. I sniffed the air, as did the rest of the Cullens. It was true, she smelled human, but her being so close did not make me thirsty.

"And if I remember correctly," Angela pulled out an opened safety pin from her pocket. Edward was next to her in an instant.

"No!" he grabbed her hand. She looked up shocked. Edward's speed still surprised her.

"It should be fine." She tried to calm him.

"That's in theory. We don't know anything about each other, what if you're wrong?" Edward did not release her arm. She looked at him. He dropped her arm, and it went limp.

"Like I was saying, if I do this," And with that she pricked her finger on the safety pin. A drop of blood rose to the surface. We all held our breath, with fear. I was so frightened that I would lunge at Angela and kill her. I took Edward's arm. He looked at everyone, who apparently was trying not to smell or notice the blood.

"It's all right," He assured us. " You won't hurt her." We all took a breath, and that's when we smelled it. It smelled of garlic and hot rotting chicken. I couldn't help but to gag. I looked over at Renesemee and Jacob. They were both covering their faces. The smell must have been as strong for them as it was for us. Everyone looked disgusted.

"What is that?" Emmet choked. Angela smiled.

"That's our defense mechanism. Even at their angriest, a vampire will think twice before they bite us." Angela pulled out a band-aid and covered her finger. The smell started to dissipate.

"That's why the Voultri didn't attack the witches that visited them in Volterra." Carlisle added. Angela nodded.

"During the witch hunt?" she asked. Carlisle gave her a nod. " Yes, witches live for hundreds of years, but to find a witch over three hundred is rare. The witch hunts was a mass genocide of us." She sighed. "We never found out who exposed us."

"So, is your massive stench your only power against vampires?" Emmet asked. Rosalie shot him a look. Angela looked over at him and grinned.

"No, witches can also turn vampires human." Angela grinned evilly. Edward's head instantly shot up to Rosalie's face. I followed his gaze. Rosalie looked shocked, and thrilled. Angela noticed our gaze too, and must have guessed what Rosalie was thinking. "No, a vampire being turned into a human is a bad thing." She emphasized bad. Rosalie looked angry.

"How would being turned human be bad?" She asked. Angela sighed

"The only one that would not be hurt would be Bella." When she noticed that we didn't understand, she looked at Edward. "Edward, when were you born? What year?"

"1901." He replied. She nodded.

"If Edward was turned human, his body would rapidly age to be a hundred and eight years old. He would wrinkle, and fall apart in a matter of seconds. But Bella would turn twenty three. She would not be harmed." Angela looked up Rosalie, as did I. She looked like a starved cat that watched the last mouse run into a hole.

"So, what if one of us DID bite you?" Jasper asked, changing the subject.

"From what I read, we would be hurt from the bite, but we are immuned to your venom. You could tear us apart, but you couldn't turn us into a vampire."

"Do you know spells? Like the from the movies?" Renesemee asked. Angela smiled.

"No. Witches can do spells, but I'm still very new. I don't know them. I am not powerful enough to turn you human. The spells that witches do are different for each witch. It's how you want and ask for things that make it a spell." She looked at us and noticed that none of us were following her. "Let me try again. Witches Do use spells. But the spells are different for different witches. It has to do with their thoughts more than what they say. And secondly, I can't do spells yet, I am new. So, I can do small things like levitating small items or getting what I want, within reason." She looked at all of us, and let her eyes rest on Jacob.

"He's not a vampire." She stated. We all knew who she was talking about.

"No, Jacob's different." Carlisle added. Rosalie smirked.

"He's one of the Quileute's from Forks?" Jacob looked up from Renesemee, who he was still sitting beside. "That makes him a shapeshifter." Jacob looked impressed.

"You knew I wasn't a werewolf?"

"Yes, werewolves are driven by hunger and destruction, yet when the wolves started showing up in Forks, noone got hurt. That led me to believe that you were shapeshifters. But there is something I don't understand." She looked at Jacob.

"Only one thing?" He asked incredulous.

"Yes, for the time being. The Quileute's hated the Cullens. You told us that at the beach, yet here you are. Why don't you dislike them?"

"We were enemies, but I liked Bella, and Bella loved Edward." Jacob admitted, "So to be around Bella, I had to learn to be around Edward and his family. And hold my breath, these blood suckers stink." He gave his obnoxious grin. "Then Renesemee was born…" He stopped there. Renesemee was sending him images. It was obvious by the look on his face.

" You imprinted on the half vampire girl?" Angela breathed. She had placed the puzzle together.

"Yes, he did." Edward locked his jaw. "So that is how we all formed this little family." Angela looked amused.

"The paranormal seems to stalk you." She laughed. We all joined in. Angela looked over at me and she smiled.

"You have a lovely family." I nodded.

"And I still get to see Charlie, from time to time. When he isn't too busy."

"It sounds like you have everything."

"I do." I replied. She shifted in her seat. I noticed that none of us had really moved since we gathered around her. I moved in my seat also.

"When were you turned?" She asked.

"I was officially bit four years ago, on September 10th, after Renesemee was born." Renesemee looked up, hearing her name mentioned and looked over at Angela. Suddenly, Angela's body froze. I could tell Renesemee was sending her images. Angela had the same far away look that Alice possessed when she was receiving an image. After a moment, Angela shook her head and looked around at everyone, she centered her sights on Renesemee.

"Thank you Renesemee."

"You're welcome, Ms. Weber." Renesemee's voice rang. Angela noticed that we were looking at her.

"She showed me when she was born, and how you were turned." Angela looked uneasy.

" Women usually brag that if they survive child birth, then they can survive anything." I started, "I can now survive anything, because of child birth." I smiled. Rosalie and Emmet walked upstairs. They had heard the story of Renesemee a million times.

"Renesmee is quite special." She mused. Angela then turned her attention to Alice. "And you can see the future?"

"Conditionally." Alice's voice rang. "The future can change. But I can see what is going to happen, as long as no one changes their mind. Or if Jacob stays out of the way." Angela looked at Alice confused.

"I can't see Jacob's future. It's a blur. So if Jacob gets around the others, I can't see their future either." Alice scowled. She looked at Jasper and smiled. "And Jasper can control emotions. It helps the stress level in this house stay low." She smiled.

"Yes, that's right, Angela." Edward replied. I turned to see him by my side looking at Angela. " I can read your thoughts." She blushed. And Edward fought back a smile. "It was awkward at Forks for a while, reading everyone's thoughts. But it wasn't Lauren or Jessica that angered me, it was that vile Mike Newton's thoughts that got to me." I always got a tad bit annoyed with Edward's one sided verbal conversations he could have with people. It was like listening in on a telephone conversation. Angela looked over to me.

"Bella, I had better prepare to leave. School starts in two days and I need to assemble my classroom. Would you all like to help me?" I knew it would be fun to help put a classroom together with Angela, but I promised Renesemee and Alice I would go shopping.

"I would love to, but we need to get school clothes." Angela smiled.

"I almost forgot, You are my students! This should be fun."

"Not all of us will be your students. Emmet and Rosalie won't make it into your classes." Alice confirmed.

"That sounds all right." Was it that obvious that Emmet was a trouble starter? It must have been.

"Don't forget Bella, we have a date tonight with Mr. Jenks." Jasper reminded. Edward tensed. He didn't like being left out of anything. Especially a 'date'.

"Don't worry, Jasper, I won't forget." We stood up and Angela started to walk to the door. She thanked Carlisle and Esme, and called up a thank you to Rosalie and Emmet. The rest of us followed her out to her car. Just before she got in, she turned around.

"Bella, do you all think it would be all right if I told the head counsel about you and your family?" I looked to the others to get their confirmation. Alice smiled.

"I think it would be all right, she seems like a nice lady, and she will want to meet us. She won't harm us."

"That's great. I will contact her when I get home." She got into her car and left. We watched her leave. It was Jasper who broke the silence.

"I think I'll call you when it gets close to time for us to leave, so Alice will be able to drive you home." Alice looked at Jasper, and gave him an evil smile.

"You can just tell her when you need to leave. You guys are coming with us." Edward and Jacob gave a look of misery and I felt the atmosphere drop into a depressing ring around us.

"Stop sulking Jasper!" Alice scolded. "We all could use some new clothes, this is Renesemee's first school, don't you want her to look her best, Edward?" Alice gave him a pout. Edward rolled his eyes.

"Not really, the less guys stare and think of her, the better."

"That's not going to happen and I know I'm going to win this conversation, so save me the time and get into the car." She demanded. "You too Jacob. You start that technical school soon and you need to look your best also." Jacob whined, but got into my car with Renesemee. I felt a little better about shopping with Alice, since Edward would be there to help control her. There was no actual controlling Alice, but at least I won't be the only one to face her wrath. And a bonus, after a few hours Jasper and I can leave and the rest of them can stay shopping for a few more hours. The atmosphere changed to a happier one. Jasper must have thought about us getting to leave the rest of the group to face Alice alone.

All right that is all for now. The next chapter will be up in a week or so. I'm doing pretty good about keeping it one chapter per week. The next chapter will talk about Jenks and the first day of school. I love reviews and I like suggestions. I have a loose outline as to how the story is going to go, but details are fun also.
