BELLA POV!
I was staring into the golden rivers that I adored so much once again, after two tiring, dead years. Before I had chance to say anything more than his name, Edward and the rest of his family were held in that infamous head-lock position by many vampires. I screamed.
"Please, please, no, no, PLEASE, PLEASE" I screamed, turning back into the frightened child I used to be. I was whimpering, pulling at my hair, screaming at them to stop.
Aro must of given some sort of signal because, the hold on their necks loosened and just held them to the spot.
"Kill me" I sighed, knowing they were at least not going to be killed this second, "kill me, not them".
Aro looked slightly startled, he looked at me bewildered, "You would give your life...for another soul-less, damned immortal, immortals that left you behind only to become an immortal yourself, Isabelle". Aro was right in my face, he whispered my name closely, as if he didn't want anyone to hear.
I tensed. It was either just me, or it was the same with every vampire. But I have a trigger sentence, a sentence that I hear and go absolutely crazy, wanting to rip to pieces that sentence say-er.
"Say, soul-less, damned immortals...one more time" I said through gritted teeth, leaning right in Aro's face daring him.
"Trust Bella's trigger sentence to be something like that". I heard Carlisle mumble behind me, okay it happens to every vampire, but right now I was dealing with this Aro monkey.
"Soul-less, damned immortals" Aro sang, cheerfully as if he was singing "If Your Happy and You Know It". That does it.
I growled, a tremendous growl and threw Aro to the floor, instantly being held back by Demetri and Felix.
"DON'T YOU SEE! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND! THEIR NOT SOUL-LESS, THEIR NOT BLOODY DAMNED! THEY HAVE WONDERFUL SOULS, BEAUTIFUL SOULS, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEIR SOULS AND IF ANYONE IS DAMNED ARO ITS YOU!" I screamed, fighting violently against Felix and Demetri.
I felt a calmness rush over me, but I wasn't in the mood to be calm, I was anything but calm, and at the moment I didn't want to be calm.
"Jasper, quit it" I mumbled, feeling slightly vampire-drowsy. I felt the calmness stop then.
"Isabelle, you have quite the temper don't you? From what I see from your" he seemed to ponder for the right word, family, best friends, my everything! Hello there's some words for you"! "friends, your attitude was quite tame from their memories, wouldn't you agree, Isabelle"?
"It's Bella, and yes I would" I growled, glaring at Aro.
"May I ask why the sudden change of attidude?"
"May I ask why the sudden interest in me, you nosy, overly-cheerful, freak?" I asked, sarcasm oozing from my voice.
I heard a few giggles, probably from Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Edward, maybe.
Aro sighed, and nodded to Felix, who smacked me across the face.
I heard Edward growl so much I literally thought there was a grizzly in the room.
I was suddenly extremely furious and threw myself at Felix, we rolled around, hitting and kicking, when some - bloody how - I got Felix in a headlock.
"How does it feel to be the weak one, ay" I smirked, gripping tighter.
"Now, firstly, I would like to know why I was dragged through oceans to be here. Secondly, I would like to know why the Cullen's are here, and when you will be letting them go un-harmed, and thirdly, answer me or little Felix here will be squished into ash, understood?"
Aro started, in his usual cheerful manner, "Isabelle, I had Felix and Demetri to bring you here as I want you to join us. Your power will be of great use to us. And the Cullen's are here for the little persuasion I know you will need".
"I'll do whatever you want. Just let them go, alive, and I'll do whatever you need me to do" I answered, not thinking twice, because I knew my answer.
"Bella, don't! You have no clue what your getting yourself into!" Edward yelled, oh, how I missed his glorious voice.
"Edward," I choked out, no matter how much I wanted to be with him, Edward and his family were not going to die, because I said no, "I can't let you and your family die, because of me".
I don't think he knew what to say back. But he fought against whoever was holding him, trying to get to me I assumed, but he suddenly just stopped. A look of monstrous pain on his face, and he fell to the ground. I threw Felix aside, and in a split second I was at Edward's side, sobbing tear-less sobs.
"Please! Just stop hurting him, I'll do whatever you want! Just stop hurting him, please, please!" I begged, not being able to do anything to help Edward.
"Jane" Aro ordered, and Edward breathed in a breath of un-needed air, but he wasn't in pain anymore, that was good.
"Jane, I would like you to try Bella. To see if she is immune to your powers, as she is of mine" Aro ordered once more, and I looked up at the girl named Jane, who had a look of amusement of her face. I ignored her, and whatever she was about to do and turned my attention back to Edward.
"I'm sorry, you shouldn't be here. Shouldn't be caught up in this mess. When they let you go, you run as fast as you can to-" I then remembered I didn't know where they lived, "where ever you were, you here me?"
"Not without you" Edward replied, smiling softly.
"Why are you being so stubborn?" I asked, only half firmly.
"It may have something to do with the fact, that I'm not leaving you. Ever. Again. I am sorry-" Edward started to apologise, but any of that could be said later.
"Ssssh, none of that, please" I whispered, pressing my finger over his mouth, "But it...doesn't make sense...for you to love me! You said that-".
"I lied. I had to lie, and you believed me so easily" Edward cut me off, his thumb stroking the side of my cheek.
"But-".
Aro laughed loudly, cutting me off and making me look up to him. "She is immune to all our powers, what an intriging vampire you are, Isabelle"
Before Edward could speak, Aro interrupted again. "So, Isabelle, what will it be, watch those you love die, or join us".
When he said watch them die, I turned fierce, suddenly Edward was being filled with pain again, and so was Esme, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, this had to stop. Now.
"STOP"! I screamed, standing on my feet. Now as angry as ever, which helped my mind-shield come out easier. It flew out easy, a cloud of blue, first covering Edward, then me, then I moved it on to Esme, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, dodging who I wanted it to dodge.
They were soon standing in my bubble, once again fine, the pain was gone. I was struggling slightly trying to keep my cloud around those I loved.
"Bella, what, how, when, how?" Edward mumbled, confused, by my side.
"Shut up, I'm concentrating" I mumbled back, leaning into him, I needed the support. He knew what I was after and his arms wrapped around my waist, my back to his chest.
"We will go now. With no more bother from you. I will be more than happy to tear this place to pieces, bit by bit, if you do not let us go, now. Never will I join you, I'd rather be six feet under, so let us go, and I will not harm" I ordered firmly, you do not tell Bella Swan what to do!
Aro sighed, "Fine my young friends, you may leave, but only on the belief that there are no - how would you say- hard feelings between our covens?" He asked, as if he didn't care about me joining them, as if he preferred the friendship over anything else.
Carlisle answered, and I was glad because, he could shove his friendship down the toilet.
"May you go now" Aro started, we rushed for the door, still protected by my bubble, "Good-bye my dear friends". Stick it where the sun don't shine boy!
We ran for a while, just ran and ran and ran, I didn't know what was going to happen know, but it didn't matter for a while because, I was back with Edward and his family. I stopped, bringing the family to a halt to, as we were still protected by my blue bubble. I needed to do one thing, just one little thing, and then I would know if he honestly felt the same.
I leaped, no word of a lie, I literally leaped into Edwards arms, at the speed quicker than lightening, and kissed him.
It was different to our before kisses, the ones when I was human. His lips were warm on mine, not the cold I remember them being. Though I liked it either way. The electricity running through our bodies was incredible, it was soft, passionate, sweet, full of longing, welcoming, it had the sense of "I missed you", all thrown into one kiss.
Although we could have kissed for decades, because I would have never needed air, I pulled away because, I needed to do one, no two more things before we could set off running again.
I jumped down to the floor, stood toe-to-toe with him, wrapped my arms around his neck and said "I love you".
"As I love you" Edward answered, and I kissed him once more before slapping him. Yes, you heard right I slapped him.
"That was for leaving me you bone head! You idiot, you stupid vampire, do you understand that I'm dead without you! Did you expect my love just to disappear when you left, huh? Did you expect me to be normal? Well here's a clue - how the heck can I normal if I'm not with you! Normal isn't being human or vampire! Normal means being with you! Do you understand I love you more than anything! I'm un-conditionally and irrevocably in love with you! You idiot, you freaking id-" I was cut off rambling when this time he kissed me.
I heard the laughter behind me, everyone was laughing most likely because I just full on slapped Edward, without breaking my hand. And rambled, on and on and on, wow, Alice much?
I broke apart just to say one other thing "I forgive you. No more sorrow's. I never stopped loving you".
Edward smiled, my favourite crooked grin and said "As I never stopped loving you".
Before I was about to kiss him, again. Emmett stood between us "Now I think that's enough kissy face for five minutes. I still haven't had a hug off my Bella-Bear" He grinned, and he picked me up off the ground, spinning around, in a enormous hug that would have cut of blood flow if I was human.
"Missed you Bells" Emmett grinned.
"Missed you Emmett".
"BELLAAA!" I heard her squeal, Alice!
I was full on pelted with a Alice hug, now much tighter than human hugs. "I love you Alice" I giggled as she kissed my cheek.
"Love you too Bella! See told you she would be a vampire, I am never wrong!" she directed that statement at Edward, poking out her tongue, who shook his head while he one armed hugged Esme.
"Jazz? I asked almost shyly, "Am I allowed to hug you know?"
Jasper laughed, and swept me up into a hug, a very brotherly hug.
After I'd hugged Esme and Carlisle, who both made me swell up with tears that would never fall, I still had Rosalie to come to, but I didn't know where we stood.
I stood there close to Rosalie, almost awkwardly waiting for something to happen.
I heard Alice whisper in the background "Rose, I see the future! You hug her, and smile! And say I'm sorry! So get on with it! I want to take Bella shopping"! Internal groan.
Rosalie then smiled, pulled me into a hug that I stumbled into, then she whispered "I am sorry for the way I treated you, thank you for saving us all. Love you Bella".
"It was my pleasure Rose, love you too" I kissed her cheek, and I returned to Edward's arms, my back to his chest, his arms around my waist.
"Now, I have some questions. Where the hell did Little-Miss-Attitude come from Bella?" Emmett smirked, holding Rose.
Everyone suddenly seemed to zoom in on the conversation, "I don't have an attitude!" I argued.
"Sure you don't! Then what was "You put me down you lanky over-muscled bone head"! or "You ought to pick on someone your own size, although I wouldn't mind ripping off a few off your limbs" or-"
I cut of Emmett then, "Okay, okay. I don't know where my sudden attitude came from, I guess it just happened when you guys went. And the fact that Aro, Felix, Demetri and all the other doofus's drove me up the wall".
"Who knew you were such a bad-ass" Jasper said in his southern twang, swinging Alice around, her giggles filling the air.
"I for one certainty didn't know the temper you have, okay I lie I do. And the sarcastic remarks, I remember once when you were human, you flung a shoe at me, saying 'you should have moved if you didn't want it to hit you, my shoe wanted to fly', only because I made you get up, because we had school" Edward chuckled, I could hear his crooked grin in his voice.
"Yes but it wasn't a gentle shake on the shoulder, you pushed me out of the bed!" I exclaimed the memory clear as if it happened seconds ago.
"Only because, you didn't wake up after the five times I did shake you!" Edward retaliated, who for some reason had lifted me into his arms.
"Oh shut it" I whispered, pecking his lips.
After we had parted, Carlisle had jumped in, "May I ask Bella, what is this 'blue cloud' that is protecting us?"
"Oh, I have a mind shield. I found out I had it once, when I became really angry because, this huge grizzly bear - no word of a lie - just came charging towards me, claws wailing like some kung-fu bear or something and my mind shield just clouded me, and the bear couldn't get to me. He stormed away and I was actually quite smug" I smirked, remembering.
"So Bella attracts kung-fu grizzles, I have to remember that one, next time we go hunting" Emmett grinned.
"Anyway, I worked on it, thinking of things that made me angry, and eventually I could push it out like it is now, protecting what I want it to protect, and ignoring what I want it to ignore. And when I saw all of you guys, being...t-tortured by Jane, I just snapped and my shield came out much easier than it ever has.
I still have my human memories. Their not fuzzy at all. Their perfectly clear, like they happened seconds ago, I think its to do with my mind shield, like protecting every thing I have in there, its hard to explain, but yeah, that's it".
Everyone looked gobsmacked, Carlisle more than everyone else, probably never seeing anyone like me before, "Amazing". He breathed out, every ones eyes on me, and to cover my embrassed face I tucked my head under Edward's neck.
"I will have to do research!" Carlisle exclaimed, almost as happy as Alice entering a new shopping mall, almost.
"Can we go home now, I really want to take Bella shopping!" Alice cried out, clapping her hands.
"NO!" I cried, jumping from Edward's arms and hiding behind him.
"Bella, please, for me?" Alice begged, using her puppy dog eyes, resist the temptation Bella, resist!
"No, I will not be dragged through hours and hours of endless shopping, no, never, not ever, ever never!" I argued, sounding like a five year old, but who cares?
"But, Bella, I only just got you back and-" She started the fake sadness/tears thing and I caved.
"Fine Alice, no more than 5 hours tops! I mean it!"
"FIVE"! She squealed, but then saw the look on my face, "fine five, since were vampires we can get it done in half the time"!
I sighed, but followed the Cullen's as we walked normally through the forest, time wasn't something we had to worry about.
"Uh Guys, where...is it, you...er, live?" I asked, sounding really awkward.
