Lov ya all

- blue rose 818 :)

When we pulled up to the Cullen's house that afternoon I was terrified. Facing Jamie was no problem, they would need more than a simple apology. After Edward put the car in park he turned to me, "Are you ready?" he asked with love and compassion.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I told him hoping that when I'd explain the things I did he'd understand.

"Don't worry they're willing to listen. Alice told them what you wanted to do. Only one refuses." He said as we walked human pace to the door.

"Yeah, but she does have a right to be that way. I don't blame her. She suffered the most." I said sadly. He stopped me and softly kissed my lips.

"I can fight you on that. And don't worry, no matter what they say if you walk, so do I. Now that I have you back I'm not letting you go again." I smiled at him, took a deep breath and then we walked into the house together holing hands.

The inside looked exactly like I remembered, besides the new furniture and electronics to stat up with the act. There were a few familiar things including Edward's piano. They all stared at me as I looked around familiarizing my self with the room. When I finally looked at them, they all looked calm even Isabelle; I knew that was Jasper's doing. Before they could talk I apologized. "Look, I'm sorry for all I did to you. I know I owe you so much more for what I've done. But I speak true fully when I say if you don't want me, then I'll leave right now. I'll walk out the door and never come back. I'll never bother you again."

"Like we have a choice." Isabelle started with a little anger in her voice. "If you leave, he'll go with you and I'm not about to have no parents. No matter how bad we want you to leave, we're not about to loose Edward." I felt Edward tense beside me at my daughter's thoughts.

"All we want is an explanation. Tell us everything without lies." Carlisle said calmly. I looked at Edward and he shook his head knowing what I was asking. So I explained Chelsea's power and my doubt.

"After I believed you betrayed me, I knew that I was all alone. There are only two reasons I ever pledged my allegiance to the Voltri. One was because I knew that someday they'd come back for my daughter and I wasn't going to have that. Two is because at the time they were my only allies and could give me what I wanted. Power and self reliance."

"What about the army and the innocent people? Esme asked me with pain in her voice.

"When I pledged my allegiance, they gave me many things. A new name, a member of their guard, an army, and if I proved myself in time then I'd become one of them. I learned quick that the Voltri was abusing their power and I knew that though they were my greatest allies, they were also my greatest enemies."

"So how did you think killing and changing innocent people were right?" she asked interrupting me.

"Look I'll get there, Just please be patient and don't interrupt me. I have a lot to say." Edward heard the tension in my voice and lead me to the couch. The others followed us. Everyone sat down as Edward pulled me onto the couch with him. He pulled me close to his side and quickly kissed me. As I started to talk again he hummed my lullaby in my ear to keep me calm.

"Like I was saying, when I joined them I had a few rules of my own. If I had an army I would create it, the werewolves were not to be harmed my daughter would not be touched and what I did with my army would be no questions asked; they agreed. I didn't start shopping for my army until a year later. When I did I refused to use anyone who had a future. I went to the hospitals or anyone I found dieing; I told them what I was and what I could do. I gave them the option of immortality. Kyle, my first in command in my eyes not the Voltri's came first. I was hunting in the forest and I smelled his blood. When I found him he had a knife in his chest. He told me to help him and I explained the only way I could. I only did that because by the time I would have gotten him to the hospital he would have already died.

After he gave me permission I bit him. I sat beside him for three days afraid He'd be gone if I left to hunt. When he awoke I explained what happened, then trained him. I taught him how and what to hunt; why we lived in peace with the humans. Also the Voltri. When I felt that it was safe for him to be around humans we came back. I told the Voltri not to interfere and that I would raise, change and teach my army the way I wanted too. And they couldn't say anything about me using my shield on them; again they agreed. That was the last time Kyle ever laid eyes on them. I didn't want my army to know the Voltri. As the Years went on I added to my army. In four years I had fifty. None of them, but Kyle had ever seen the Voltri.

Of course Aro and the others were worried, but it slowly passed when they saw I could control my army unlike Victoria. I would always tell them that we were family and stuck together. About half of them have mated within the army and have special gifts. They never once Questioned my leadership. If anything they saw me as their mother so to speak. The Voltri was different though. After our first success they assigned Felix to me.

It was two months after Kiya joined us, our youngest and last sister, when I was told to take them on a trial run. I had to prove my army was good enough. So Aro sent us to Canada." I watched as everyone got tense as I mentioned Tanya's clan.

"He said if we could destroy the Denali clan, then we'd be left alone. When we were far from Volterra I told them what we were going to do."

"Slaughter them!" Isabelle said rudely.

"NO! I said we were to make peace with them and then make it look like we slaughtered them." I saw the confusion on their faces, even Edward's.

"You see I never wanted to kill anyone who hadn't hurt me. I didn't care if they were friends with you or despised me. All I knew is that I had a chance to save them and I wasn't going to let them die.

" When I showed up they were about to attack, even though they knew it was a suicide mission. I told them I wasn't there for a fight. I came to help. It took a while, but I finally convinced them. I told them where to go then covered up the scent. I also gave them my number and some rules.

Then after they left Michael and Macy along with everyone else made it look like a struggle. After they destroyed the place Michael and Macy messed with the fire. You see they had the gift of Illusion and creation so to speak. Their powers combined can do amazing things. Through the years we repeated the situation and different gifts were used at different times."

"And the humans, the city were you and your army responsible for that?"

"No Carlisle, that was only me. If it wasn't for them I would have slaughtered them all." I said looking away from them. Edward put his hand under my chin and made me look at him.

"Why? Out of all the things I thought you did, that was not one of them." He told me and then I just talked to him.

"I was peed of. Me believing you betrayed me finally sunk in. It tore me up, you and Isabelle use to be my world. Then on top of that it was right after Jacob's funeral and my talk with my father. Also the anger I felt for the Voltri for killing Jacob. And finding out Kyle brought out our story. I cracked, and I exploded where I was. I was half way through the city before my army showed up to stop me. It was the first time I took my shield of myself since I learned how. They took me out, like I told them to if something like that ever happened. All of them but five stayed behind to help the city. The others dragged me into the forest. Kyle held me in his arms as the other ones kept guard. Yet it brought on more pain because you're the one I wanted to hold me. They never saw me like that before, and I never acted like that again.

I got stronger afterward, thought of you less often until you were out of my world totally. I came back to Forks here and there for all the funerals. If I owed them anything, I owed them all that." I looked at all them then and knew I was becoming forgiven.

"Oh, come on! You can't really believe her can you? She has taken everyone that has ever meant something to us away. I can't believe you trust her!" With that said Isabelle stormed out. Edward started to get up to follow her, but I stopped him.

"I'll go, this is between me and her. I have to do this." I didn't wait for his response, but no one followed me. "Isabelle" I called, "Isabelle, look I know your pain." I said trailing after her and keeping my distance.

"No, you don't know. You don't know my life or me. Stop acting like you do! And stop pretending you have a place here, because you don't not since you left us, me!" she yelled as soon as we were far from the house.

"I'm sorry ok, for everything I took from you. I didn't have a right. If anyone deserves to kill me it's you. I ruined your life, I will never forgive myself for that."

"You did more then ruin it, you destroyed it. You took away the things that meant the most to me. First my mother, then my soul mate. I use to stay up at nights crying because you left me. I use to believe you left because of me. Then I realized that you left me because you didn't care and you betrayed your family." She yelled at me.

"All I ever did was care about you Isabelle. Like I said earlier, I only went with them to protect you. I know I abandoned you and left you without a mother, but I wasn't going to let you die." I yelled back.

"Then why didn't you take me with you? If you cared that much, why did you leave me?" I finally got it. I understood why she was always angry with me. It nothing to do with me leaving, betraying the family, or even killing innocent people including the werewolves like they still believed. This was about me leaving her behind; braking my promise. I promised her we'd be together forever. If I ever left Forks, she would come with me.

"There are two reasons I left you Isabelle. For one, your father wouldn't have let me and for two, I wanted you to actually have a life. If I would have taken you with me, you would have never had a good life. You would have been just like me. And though I believed your father betrayed me, I knew he would do nothing to hurt you. He loves you so much."

"What really happened to Jake and Billy. And don't tell me you weren't there. Dad smelled your scent, plus a few others." she said calmer.

"I was there, but not till after they were attacked. It was Jane, Alec, and the others who attacked them; my army and I had nothing to do with it. When I found out I went to stop them, but was to late. By the time I got there they had already left. Billy was the closest so I checked on him first. He was unconscious with energies that needed to be treated or he would die. I heard his heart so I knew he was alive. Then I went to Jacob." As I told her I remembered back to that day.

"Jacob, Jacob" I said as I ran to him. I knelt down beside him with tears in my eyes. He turned to me.

"Hey Bells. It's nice to see you. I wish it was under better conditions though." He said weakly. Then coughed with pain.

"What did they do to you Jake? Where are the others? How did only you and Billy get hurt?" I asked sadly.

"We were hanging out like we always do after we hunt. There wasn't even time to change or even react. We smelled them then Jane attacked. Is Billy ok? He was hit hard." he said the last part with concern.

"he's fine, just unconscious and some cuts. But if he's not treated soon he will die. But Jake you're so much worse. I need to get you out of here. I can't loose you Jake." I said with tears. As I tried to pick him up he stopped me.

"No Bella, you have to get my son out of here. You need to keep him safe for me and your daughter."

"Jake…" I cried.

"Bella, please for me. It's my time to go, I know that. But my son has a long life ahead of him. Don't take that away." he begged touching my face. I shook my head yes and held his hand there.

"I'll miss you Jake. I'm sorry for all I did to you. For disappointing you Jake. You're my best friend and have suffered more then anyone and now to be dieing like this." I felt the tears come from my eyes.

"Isabella you have never disappointed me and you never will. Drive me insane yes, but have never disappointed me. And I will always forgive you for what you've done. The suffering is worth it for you Bella. It was fate you coming to Forks when you did. I believe it was your destiny to get mixed up in all this. You kept the werewolves and vampires sane. You were the one who brought us together and kept us that way. Don't ever think that you messed up my life, you never could Bells.

You made my life better Bella. I think you for that, I also know that your confused. You'll figure it out though and make the right choice. Promise me that you'll watch over my son and the pack. Protect them for me and make sure they live a good life." He spoke his speech so softly.

"I promise Jake." he smiled at me and quietly whispered thanks. "And Jake you'll always be my best man." I added smiling. He chuckled and kissed me softly on the cheek.

"I love you Bella and I always will."

"I love you to Jake." I smiled.

"Think about me in your dreams and wishes."

"I won't ever forget what we had Jake. Best friends forever right?"

"Yeah, Best friends forever. Take care and let everyone know how much I care and love them. Especially Leah, I never deserved a wife as good as her. She made my life better. And she took the other half of my heart that didn't have you. She must know how much I love her and what she means to me." he said as his breathing and heart slowed.

"I will Jake, and you'll always be in my heart as long as I live." I said holing back the tears.

"Thanks for a great life, I'll always be with you and guiding you. A friendship like ours never goes away. NO matter what anyone ever tells you, you'll always be the same sweet, brave, over sensitive, strong and beautiful Bella. Nothing ever truly changed between us. With all my heart I love you even after I take my last breath, until the day you die I will love you. I love you my Bella; I love you." and with that said his heart became silent. His hand would have fallen off my face if I didn't hold it there. Then Billy became conscious again.

I went to him as he tried to get up. "Don't get up your hurt too badly injured." I said pushing him back.

"What are you doing here and where's my father?" He said trying to get up from my hold.

"I came to stop your attackers, but was to late. Your father is a few feet away, but he didn't make it." I told him trying to cover his wounds.

"M… my father's dead." he stuttered not fighting me anymore.

"Yes, he passed a few minutes ago." I said concentrating on his wound.

"What are you doing to me? Why haven't you killed me yet Darkness?" he said getting a little angry and confused. Also moving to try and look.

"I'm trying to patch up your wounds until I can get you to a friend. And I'm not going to kill you. Now hold still or your bones are going to reattach the wrong way." I said frustrated.

"Why?" he said holing still and softly.

"For one my reputation isn't like it seems. And two I still promised Jacob I'd take care of you." Pain came through my throat when I said his name.

"My dad told you to protect me, why?"

"Because he trusts me and knows I won't disappoint him." I said turning to look at him. Then I smelled my army. I felt Billy cringe under me. "Don't worry they came looking for me."

"There you are; we were so worried." Kyle stated.

"Lizeth, I need you. He's lost a lot of blood." I said ignoring Kyle. She rushed to my side.

"We have to move him, this is going to take awhile." she said examining.

"Do you trust me Billy?" I asked looking him in the eyes.

"No, but I don't have a choice. Just make sure my dad gets found." he said as Josh and Tyler picked him up.

"Don't worry Billy he'll be found." Then I looked at Kyle. "Take him to the others and don't leave until I get there." he shook his head and they disappeared.

I then ran to the Cullens, knowing I'd get their attention and went back to Jacob. I knelt beside him. "Don't worry Jake I'll protect them." Then I kissed his lips and added "I love you till the day I die." Then I hid. I watched as they showed up and found Jacob.

"Edward, go get Leah and the pack." Carlisle told him as Edward skimmed the forest for me, then ran. They got there a few minutes later and took him away after Leah and the others cried.

"So does that mean Billy's alive?" Isabelle asked pulling me from my trance.

"Yes Billy is much alive." I told her.

"How, Where is he?" she asked with love.

"After he was healed I taught him how to take on full wolf form and surrounded him with vampires. He is only in his human form when we talk. Also I told him he had to stay alive if he wanted the life with you that he saw. As for where he is I can't tell you." I saw her face when I stopped, but then quickly added, "It's not because I don't want to. It's to protect him and the others."

"Don't you trust me?"

"Yes I do, but if I tell you where he is and even if you talk to him, they all would be in danger. Aro would get to you and find out. You can't talk to him because he could give to much away."

"I get it, they need to stay protected." she said wondering who else I was hiding besides Billy and the Denali clan.

"Yes. But I promise you Isabelle, you two will be together soon. And have the life you've dreamed about. Your love will be with you soon. If I do anything to repay you for what I've done I'll give you that. You will have a chance to be a mother." I said then turned to leave.

"Isabella," my daughter called.

"Yes Isabelle." I said turning to her. Then in a second she was in my embrace and crying on my shoulder. I held her close and hummed her lullaby to comfort her.

"Thanks, I've missed you mom. Don't ever leave me again." she said through her tears.

"I won't. I'll always be here for you Isabelle. I'm never leaving you again." I said still comforting her and crying myself.

"I love you mom." she choked out.

"I love you to my Isabelle." I said into her hair as rocked her in my arms. As I hummed the lullaby Edward had wrote for her many years ago, I could hear him playing mine in the house welcoming me home for good. Finally everything was like it was suppose to be within my true family. I knew Alice could see a bright future to come, and that made me happy.
