Hey guys sorry about the wait. Because all of you were so supportive I made this a pretty long chapter. At least I tried to. I am continuing this story thanx to you all. Give yourself all a pat on the back! Also I have a poll that I'd like you all to take, PLEASE! Um I lost this chapter so I free-wrote it. Hope it's still good. I know some of them are OOC but it's for a reason. Here it is!

Chapter 3: Annoying Vamps.

I lunged. Piper hit me with the explosion. I was thrown through the window in the sun room… It hurt. I felt a searing pain in my arm. *sigh* Piper's blast.

"BELLA!!" I heard nine people scream. I heard Edward's voice.

"Bella! Bella! Stay awake! Please!" I felt his arms wrap around me. "Please." He whispered.

"Leo." I croaked. "Piper! Get Leo!"

"Leo!"

"What?!" Then I'm guessing he saw me. "Oh my God!" I heard him run to me. He put his hands above me and yellow light appeared. I instantly felt better. I sat up.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah we're fine Bella, thanks!" The Cullens looked at me with big goofy grins on their faces. Then I realized Edward's arm was still around me. I hadn't realized it because it had felt so natural. Never the less I shifted uncomfortably.

"Uh…Edward could you please move your arm?" He moved his arm silently. I saw the Cullens faces drop.

"Thank god you're okay." I hopped up. Edward moved with me. Probably afraid I'd fall. I stretched cat-like. "So, Phoebe why do the Elders want us to protect the Cullens?" She hesitated.

"Well, somehow Shax is back and he wants them." Phoebe ran and hid behind the sofa. Shax. Alice, Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Ed…Edward? No! He already got Renee and Charlie, mom and Phil! No way am I letting him get the Cullens too!

"How." My voice was deathly calm. I think that scared her more than anything.

"W..We think that C…Cole had something to do with it," Paige stuttered. Cole? Must be mad.

"Who's Shock? I don't know why you guys are so scared. We can beat him!" encouraged Emmett. I tried my best not blow up anything…or start moving things around…or start flying…or well, you get the point.

"Because he killed my mother, Renee, Charlie, and Phil." I said, voice ice-cold. Esme, Alice, Carlisle, and Edward gasped. Emmett and Jasper growled. I sighed.

"What's done is done. I won't go back and change it." Edward noticed I said "won't" apparently, but didn't say anything. "I'm going to my room." I quickly orbed to my room leaving no room to argue. I quickly muttered a spell so no one could hear me. I broke down crying. Today sucks! I suddenly heard a knock at the door. I muttered the 'let this scene be unseen spell' and said the counter spell to the hearing spell.

"Come in!" It was Alice. "What?"

"We smelt salt."

"Hmm. Well, don't just stand there, come in!" She walked in and shut the door. I patted the spot next to me on the bed. She came and sat down.

"What happened when we left?" Alice asked, not beating the poor bush. I winced.

"Uh…I'd rather not talk about it." She was staring at my rather large wardrobe. I laughed. It was a real laugh not the usual fake one. "Go ahead Alice, I really don't mind." She looked at me with an 'obviously Bella, I mean out of all the time you've known me you should have figured out I love clothes' look on her face. Then she dove into my closet.

"YAY!!!!!" She squealed. After about an hour of her fawning my clothes-it's a very big closet-she was back in her former position.

"Bella."

"Alice."

"He's still in love with you." Fury and pain coursed through my veins.

"You don't know what you're saying, Alice."

"He was inadequate. He was-"

"Stay out of this Alice , you have no idea of what you're messing with." And she didn't. Demons had gotten me angry before and were burning in hell.

"Bella-"

"Alice shut up! For once stop your annoying meddling and understand that if it weren't for your family being in danger, I wouldn't want anything to do with you!" I felt horrible but it had to be done. I couldn't get close to them. 'After all, how many times could one heart be mangled and still be expected to beat?' (New Moon) She looked close to tears. I ran to the kitchen silently shedding tears. I couldn't help it, I was weak. The keys to my Porsche weren't on the counter where I had left them. Uggghhh! I stalked into the sun room where the Cullens-minus Alice- were chatting with my aunts.

"Where are they?!" They all looked up surprised. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige smirked at me. Evil.

"Where are what?" Piper asked innocently.

"My keys aunt." I sneered. Her expression was unchanged by my tone.

"Bella! I'm surprised at you! Talking to your aunt like that!" She tut-tut-ed. "Didn't your mother ever teach you manners?!" I don't think she realized that that comment hurt! Bad. I never acted like this but I was in a fowl mood.

"My mother is dead." I could see the hurt behind her eyes. But at this moment I didn't care. "Give me the d*** keys!" She hesitated and then pulled them to her.

"Fat chance." I smirked. Using my mothers power I brought the keys to me. She sorta fumed. I stuck my tongue out childishly. She laughed. I smiled. She suddenly looked cunning.

"Bel-la." She sung to me.

"Pi-per." I sung back.

"You are a personal bodyguard for Alice, Jasper, and Ed-ward!" I glared at her.

"What?!" I growled.

"Yep!" Paige answered.

"Your welcome!" Phoebe chimed in.

"And," Leo continued, "You're babysitting all of the Cullens today." I glowered at my 'family'.

"Fine!" I faced the Cullens-now including Alice. "Get your bathing suits on and get your butts to the front door in ten minutes sharp!" I then stalked to my room. I was fuming. I pulled off my shirt and pants. Knock knock! I pulled open the door. The Cullens were there. Edward looked frozen at my attire.

"Um, Bella why didn't you put on a robe?" Alice asked. I raised an eyebrow.

"Because I've been caught like this by demons a lot of times before. And I really don't care. What did you need?"

"Sorry to bother you dear but we didn't pack any swimsuits." Esme explained.

"Follow me." I led them to my closet. In there I pushed aside some clothes and opened another door. I led them through there. In there was loads of guy clothes. I grabbed random swim shorts and tossed them to the guys. I went to my closet and picked out three bikini's and one one-piece. I tossed the one-piece and two of the bikini's to the Cullens.

"The one-piece is for Esme."

"Who are the others for?" asked Emmett. I looked at him weirdly.

"Jasper and Edward. The girls, you oompah-loompa!"

"Oh." I smacked my forehead. Such an oompah-loompa! They filed out. I slipped on a white bikini with blue stripes. I slipped on brown flip flops and grabbed eight towels. I grabbed a duffel bag and eight outfits. Four female and four male. I tossed them in the duffel bag. I grabbed a brown sun dress and slipped it on.

"Time to go!" I orbed to the front door. They were already there. I paused then turned to them.

"The girls will have to sit on the men's lap. One of you can be alone in the passenger seat." The couples instantly paired up. I turned to Edward. "I guess you will get the passenger seat." I walked to the drivers side and jumped in. I revved the engine and took off at 165mph.

"I guess you like going fast now, huh Bella." Emmett grinned. He actually looked like Cheshire cat. I guess that's Emmett for you. He hasn't changed much. None of them have. Except Edward, that is. He seems to be more forlorn. I then realized I hadn't answered Emmett's question.

"Um, yeah." I peeked in my rearview mirror. It was an amusing sight to see the couples squished in the back seat. I turned on to a dirt road. It continued for about five miles. With no warning I crushed the brake to the floor. Alice let out a squeak. I smiled.

"We walk from here." I declared. I started walking north. We walked like this for about an hour.

"Here we are…"
