Chapter 27

Bella P.o.v.

We were walking along the beach when we smelt them. I was crouched down in an instant, Jasper was quick to assess the situation. It was then that he recognized the scents, it was Them. The Cullen's.

The first thought that went through my mind was 'Thank god the twins are sleeping'. I didn't even want to think what would have happened had they been with us. I trembled in a mixture of fright and excitement. Some things don't change with becoming an immortal vampire. We still have fear.

We parted our hands remorsefully. No need to shock them too badly at first sight. Both of us were a bit panicked, never had we discussed just how we would announce our newfound relationship. Let alone anything else.

Seven figures stepped out of the forest. They were all supernaturally attractive. Human eyes couldn't do them justice, to my vampire eyes they almost looked completely different. Emmett's muscles looked even bigger now. I must have been blind not to have seen those huge things.

I fought my flight or fight instincts. My new self wasn't used to be around so many people along with their predatory scents.

When Esme raced towards us, I almost sent out my shield in surprise. She pulled Jasper and I into what could only be described as a bear hug. Seconds later she stiffened and pulled back slowly.

Her gold eyes locked onto mine, shock was written all over her face. I knew what she was seeing. My eyes had just turned a light purple the other day. Esme knew I was a vampire. A newborn.

She darted back to Carlisle's side, a small smile curling her lips.

A furious roar brought my attention to Edward. "How could you do this?" The bronze haired vampire screamed whilst glaring at my mate in anger. My body tensed taking in his glares as a threat to Jasper.

His gold eyes turned to me, softening noticeably. "Oh, Bella, Love." Edward whispered softly as if I was his lover. I was astonished by his gall to call me his love. Who did he think he is? To presume that I was still his love after what he had put me through.

I inched closer to Jasper, letting my shoulder rub up against his. The comfort his slight touch brought me was invaluable in this circumstance.

Rosalie's eyes narrowed onto her brother. "Why did you change her, Jasper?" She hissed out coldly. I knew why she was so against me being changed now. So, I understood why she was upset. I was just glad that she didn't hate me like I once thought.

That was when Jacob seemed to explode onto the scene. "You bit her!" Jacob growled the words through clenched teeth. If Edward had been furious, Jacob was downright murderous in comparison.

Jasper stepped in front of me, his back rigidly strait. I could see him preparing for a battle. I didn't want this to happen.

"My life is a soap opera." I heard Leah Clearwater mutter to herself, I couldn't help but agree with her.

Jacob was shaking terribly now. His mouth gaped open letting lose unintelligible vowel sounds escape. To my fascination and terror he transformed. His body rippling grotesquely into a horse sized wolf. He was crazed in his rage. Uncaring that the girl who was his best friend was standing behind the one he was rushing to attack.

"Jasper!" I screamed my lover's name, the first word I'd said in front of the others.

I wrapped my arms around Jasper, pressing my face into his tense shoulders. My shield exploded out of me to protect my mate. The red bubble kicked up sand in all directions and with a loud clapping noise collided with the charging werewolf.

My breath came out in hard pants. That had been too close. Jacob's claws had only been a foot away when the shield had hit. I walked around Jasper in a surly manner.

"How dare you attack him you…" I shrieked at the crumpled form in front of the Cullen's (plus one). "…Mutt." I finished. Somehow the word suited my purpose.

Emmett burst out laughing, I rolled my eyes. Typical Emmett.

"Love, he changed you." Edward spoke as if being turned was a crime. "I'm not your love." I snapped viciously. He reeled back like I had struck him. I couldn't bring myself to care.

"You left me, move on." My words dripped like venom from my lips. This anger had built for months unreleased on him. He should feel bad. Edward had no idea what I had gone through to get over him. My own father almost gave up on me because of him.

"Why don't we all just calm down?" Carlisle spoke shooting pointed looks at the downed werewolf. I snorted in an unladylike fashion while my blond haired mate pulled me back to his side.

I looked curiously at him, he was greatly amused by my little scene. This reunion was bringing out my more possessive nature. His hand squeezed mine, then reluctantly pulled away.

The so far silent Alice stared with wide eyes. A rare look of surprise was plastered on her face. None the less she bounced over and hugged us both. She startled me when she grabbed my hands and started pulling my body towards the forest.

"It's time for some Girl Talk." Alice said grinned mischievously, shooting glances to the other women. I am doomed.
