Bellamy POV:
I am heading over to the Cullen house, Bella was nearly attacked by a rogue vampire and Sam made an appearance. Jared is accompanying me, Paul is still to quick to anger to be around my sister and her vampire pals.
I stop a couple yards from their house and make a circle of fire around Jared and I and light a bundle of sage holding it between us so we won't be overheard.
"Okay when we get in there look menacing but let me do the talking, alright?"
"Got it anything else?"
I collect some soot from the burnt sage and apply it to Jared's nose saying a quick enchantment.
"Yes, according to your ancestors journals to your kind vampires smell horrible , like some one vomited up bleach. And with that many of them in an enclosed space it'll be even worse. This will temporarily stop your sense of smell for about a hour giving us plenty of time to get in, find out about Sam, get my sister and get out."
"Got it, let's do this."
"Alright."
I extinguish the flames and Jared and I make our way to the front door.
We are welcomed in by a beautiful woman frozen in her late twenties.
She introduces herself as Esme and invites us in. I have to school my expression from not gazing around in wonderment and how marvelous their home is.
Esme: "everyone has gathered in the living room if you want to follow me."
Bellamy: "thank you, how is she?"
Esme give me a sympathetic smile, "she's alright, a little shaken up tho."
We follow her through the house to where everyone is gathered.
I really wanted to remain impassive exuding a calm strength but as soon as I saw Bella all that flew out the window. I ran over to her and we both forgot our differences for the moment and embraced in a crushing hug.
"are you okay, were you hurt?" I ask holding her at arms length now looking for over for any signs of injury.
"it's all right Edward protected me, I'm fine." She tells me while glancing at Edward dreamily. Oh brother-
"Ugh what is that smell, it's so disgusting it's making me dizzy." I hear I thundering voice coming from the one they call Emmett I think.
"Emmett, manners." Esme scolds.
"He's not wrong, the stench of wet dog is gonna be stuck in this house for days." The blonde stuck up looking one said.
I can see Jared growing tense so I jump in-
"Yes, well what do you think you smell like to him? it's been described bleach over curdled milk and there are 6 of you and only one of him yet he isn't letting it show how much it's getting to him. Goes to show how much stronger even just one of the shifters are compared to the lot of you."
Carlisle now interjects hoping the settle down both sides, "I think that's enough this isn't helping we need to discuss what happened today and the possible ramifications it might have on Bella."
"Ramifications? what is he talking about?" Bella asks clinging to Edward like some ridiculous damsel in distress.
"it's all right nothings going to happen to you." Edward tries to reassure her.
"Yeah it's not like you decided to go out in a thunderstorm and play baseball with a bunch of vampires or anything" I say and Bella narrows her eyes at me but I just shrug, I didn't say anything that wasn't true.
Rosalie's POV:
I hate to say it but I'm actually finding the witch a little entertaining especially when she puts that drip of a sister in her place.
OooOOo Edward didn't like hearing me think that- deal with it this is all your fault anyway you shouldn't have brought her, it was supposed to be family time... remember us? The people you used to care about before the great Bella came along?
"I still care about you all, Rosalie." Edwards tells me, responding to my thoughts out loud.
"Yeah right."
The Witch has requested we take her through exactly what happened.
When we get to the part about Red headed one taking off she becomes furious.
"you let her get away! What the hell where are you all doing that six vampires couldn't track down one?!" She shouts.
"We were a little distracted by the giant wolf that attacked!" Alice tries to sass her back but my pint sized sister can't exactly pull of menacing.
"you have all been alive long enough to know that you do not let someone escape after killing two of their coven, she will be back, she will seek to get her revenge most likely targeting Bella!" Can't say she's wrong, I just don't exactly care if Bella becomes Victoria's focus better her than me I think causing Edward to let out a growl but I roll my eyes at him.
"Look Carlisle, I no I said I'd let you handle it but this is getting ridiculous. Bellamy you want us gone? You want Victoria dead and Bella safe? We can give you all that we just need something from you in return."
Edward yells at me, "Rosalie now is not the time!"
"well I think it's exactly the time!" I shout back.
Bellamy: "what are you talking about what do you want from me?"
Rosalie: "really you can't guess?"
She shakes her head to say no.
Rosalie: "we want the cure so go ahead Sabrina, name your price."
Bellamy POV:
Unbelievable
Jared: "wait is that a real thing? you can cure them... of vampirism?"
Bellamy: "no, it doesn't work like that. It took 8 witches to cast the spell creating vampires and it is illegal to work with more than one other witch now, it would be impossible for be to even attempt to reverse it."
I try to explain it to everyone.
Carlisle: "why is it against the law? And who's law is it?"
Bellamy: "I am not telling you all every little thing you want to know about witches, this isn't preschool, we are not at show and tell."
Emmett: "what the hell kind of show and tells did you go to as a kid?"
Rosalie: "but the point is that it is theoretically possible right? You just need 7 more witches and -"
Bellamy: "-and nothing the consequences are way too severe, end discussion I am not doing this for any of you."
Rosalie: "that's right you're not... you're doing it for Bella because you want her to live a long happy human life and your intelligent enough to realize that won't happen if we are in it."
Bellamy: "this is all a moot point, Edward would never leave Bella even if the rest of you agreed. not to mention that even if somehow... miraculously you all managed to keep Edward away Bella would only go running after him and most likely get herself into even more trouble."
Bella: "She's not wrong" my sister says breaking my heart a little, I so wanted to be wrong.
