I don't own anything Twilight, Stephanie Meyers does, I just like to play with the characters.

I have been battling real life as of late and have had a little bit of writers block. But here is the next chapter, hope you like it.

Where to begin? To say that Emmett's interaction with us at the diner yesterday was unusual would be the pot calling the kettle black. I am sure that we are not his usual crowd. We probably made him uncomfortable with the thought of more Goths surrounding him today. Most people are uncomfortable with one or two and Emmett would have five surrounding him. Poor little jock!

To say that there was anything eventful about the rest of the afternoon and night with Rose would be wrong as well. We ended up going back to Charlie's house and watching movies till we both passed out. Charlie came home after the credits of Edward Scissorhands started. He chatted with Rose for a while, gave me the 'You know you are going to have to tell her' look and went to bed. No, nothing unusual happened... until I fell asleep.

I was sitting at the lake again; the moon was out as usual. But instead of being bright and silvery, the sky was dark and red. It was warm. I felt like I was on the beach. I looked around for Edward, we were supposed to meet in my dreams, but he wasn't there. I really wished I was alone, but there was someone else there, I could feel his presence without know where he was.

"You must forgive me," his deep husky voice called to me. "You see I have been waiting millennia to meet you."

The warm air around me moved as if following his movements. I felt it circling me slowly, like a predator.

"You know, I thought you would be taller," he chuckled from behind my left ear. I spun quickly to see him, but he was gone. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, not yet! You see we need to speak first. Please, have as seat on your precious log."

I felt my legs shake. I didn't want to sit when Shadow Man was here and I didn't want to give him any advantage of getting to me. As if sensing my discomfort, he spoke.

"My dear, we are going to be here for awhile, a few minutes at the least. Your vampire is not coming as he will find the realm blocked, so I suggest you make yourself comfortable."

"I could just wake up!" I seethed at him. I will not be forced to do something I don't want to do! This only seemed to humor him more as his deep, dark laugh echoed all around me.

"Silly, Yodita! You see, this is a dream where I am in control. You will not be able to wake up till I tell you so!" He laughed even harder, then he sighed angrily. "Now, enough games. Soon the prophecy will come to pass and you will be in possession of you full strength. It is a huge responsibility you have on you, Princess, one that requires someone to be by your side that can handle such responsibility for all time."

The air swirled again letting me know he was on the move. "What does this have to do to you? Surely you are not foolish to think that I would have something like YOU by my side."

I felt hot, angry air at my back, but could not move away from it. He was behind me; mad and aggressive. "Tell me, Yodita, do you really think that BLOOD SUCKING vampire or the werewolf PUP would be better at your side?" I felt liquid hitting my shoulder from where he spat his venomous words. "Perhaps it is your beautiful friend next to you in bed?"

His black hand extended past me and opened a portal showing Rose laying next to me, her arm around my waist like she was protecting me.

"So lovely, mmmm. Since this marriage would not be one of love, maybe she would serve better as MY plaything." I felt his nose run along my neck, sending shivers of repulsion through me. "Mmmm, no you don't like that idea, maybe we could share?"

I wiggled till he let me go, laughing menacingly. "No, I guess that would not do either. But know this, Princess, neither the leech or the pup will have you. Your power, your reign is mine and there is nothing your father or anyone can do about it."

I sat straight up in my bed, sweat covering my body. I looked at Rose who just rolled over and hummed as she snuggled back in to sleep. The Shadow Man wanted my power and he was getting more and more aggressive in his pursuit of me. My cell phone buzzed next to me and I looked to see that I had a text message from Edward.

Dark Baby, what happened? I was at the portal, but it was blocked and then disappeared like it does when you wake up. Are you ok? E xx

Shadow Man. He blocked the portal and held me hostage till I woke up! ~B

My phone vibrated to let me know I had an incoming call.

"Princess, do you need me to come over?" he asked. I shivered at his endearment. I so loved this man, always looking out for me, but that name was tainted by the Shadow Man.

I sighed. "I have to talk to you and everyone when I come over tomorrow. It is probably best to do it before Emmett gets there, so I will be there in a few hours."

I heard him sigh heavily himself on the other side of the phone. "What can I do, love?"

I shook my head, knowing full well he couldn't see the movement. "Just keep an open mind and know that I love you."

He ended the call with light kissing noises on his side that made me giggle, for a vampire who was over one hundred years old he was acting like a teenager. I loved it though and told him so.

I would come clean with who and what I was with everyone who could possibly help me, the only thing that confused me was what 'Werewolf Pup' the Shadow Man was talking about! Maybe Alice could help me with that. I looked at Rose's sleeping form.

"I hope you don't hate me after this," I whispered and got of bed to take my shower.

I packed everything I wanted for a slumber party and a few things I thought would drive my dark prince crazy in the process. If he still wanted me after this, I was not going to keep from completing our bond. Maybe by the time morning came around I will have become a Queen and joined at more than the heart.

"You are very deep in thought," Rose replied next to me in the truck. She had woken up after I came out of the shower. I explained that I needed to go over to Edward's early and that I wanted her to come with me. She grumbled about how early it was, but showered and dressed all the same. Rose had put her hair into pigtails and wore her black leather vest and shorts. She pouted till I gave in and let her borrow my black and white striped thigh high socks. I had planned on wearing it with my tutu mini skirt, but she said I could wear her thigh high pirate boots. I gave in.

"I..." I didn't know what to say, I wasn't even sure what I was going to say to Edward, Jasper, Alice? I should have brought my dad. He could explain it much better than I could.

"B? Pull over," Rose said quietly and gently laying her hand on my forearm. I pulled over and put the truck in park. "Whatever is bothering you, you need to spill it."

"Trust me, Ro. This is not something I can repeat more than once. I think once we get to Edward's I will explain everything then." I sighed and looked at her. She smiled and took my hand squeezing it gently, "It?..." I sighed. "It is..."

"Ok, here is what we are going to do." Rose smiled and patted my hands. "You are going to take a deep breath and drive us to Your Edward's," she teased and rolled her eyes. I smiled at her and took a deep breath. Rose leaned over and kissed my forehead, "I want to meet your court."

"But...," I started to stammer. When they find out about me they may not be my court anymore.

"ENOUGH!" Rose growled, she grabbed me by the chin and forced me to look at her "YOU will have a court. THIS is your court! I haven't even met these people yet and I already know you are two thousand happier than you ever were with your old court." She sighed and pushed a piece of hair behind my ear and smiled. "And if they don't accept what you have to say, then you still have me. And I will always be here for you, B. You're my queen."

I couldn't help it! I enveloped her in a big, fierce hug. When we both smiled and sat back in our seats, I started the truck and headed towards Edward's.

Edward was waiting on the porch when we pulled into the drive. He was leaning his shoulder against the porch pillar. He was wearing a black button down shirt that wasn't buttoned; his arms were crossed in front of him. I traveled down his alabaster exposed torso to his long black jeans covering is legs that were crossed at the ankle. Edward wasn't wearing any shoes. He looked soooo damn hot! He didn't move as we approached, but nodded his head at Rose while keeping his eyes on me.

"Hello, Rose," A crooked smirk formed on his lips. I so wanted to suck on that soft bottom lip.

"I would believe that if you were looking at me, Your Darkness," Rose giggled. "I will wait inside."

I leaned up and whispered to him, "May I kiss you, My Lord?"

Edward leaned down and kissed me gently, nothing else touching except our lips. We both moaned in contentment; just this simple gesture calming me beyond anything else. He stood, taking my face in his hand and rubbing his thumbs along the apples of my cheeks.

"I don't know what happened, but I can't stand this sad look you have in your eyes." He kissed me on the forehead and held me in his arms. "Bella, you have to know that nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, can make me feel anything other than utter and complete love that I feel for you. It is so strong." He leaned back and looked me in the eyes. "It would kill me if I lost you!"

I sighed and leaned up to kiss him. "I would never leave you; that is not the problem. I fear that you will leave me."

"Never, come on." He led me into the house; his arms still around me. He led me into the family room where Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, and Rose were all sitting.

"Rose, this is Alice, her boyfriend Jasper, Carlisle their father, and Esme their mother, and you know Edward," I sighed. "Family, this is my best friend and right hand, Rosalie Hale."

"It's nice to meet, Rosalie." Esme smiled from her position next to Carlisle on the love seat.

"You, too, and please, call me Rose."

We all talked for a few minutes, about life in Phoenix, how my time in Forks had been, the movie marathon later in the afternoon and then Edward looked at me and sighed heavily.

"Ok, love, want to tell me what happened last night?"

I stood up and took a deep breath. "Before I do that, what do you any of you know about different cultures of the world?"

"You mean like Hindu, Aborigines, Goths?" Jasper began.

"Sort of." I sighed. "Have you ever heard of Yodita."

Alice smiled. "NO WAY?"

I arched a brow at her and asked, "What do you know?"

"Not much, but I have a chapter in my book that speaks of the Yodita briefly and the Prophecy." She smiled at me. I sighed and looked at the floor, my shoes becoming very interesting to me all of a sudden. "It speaks of a woman that will possess tremendous power. So much power that, she can alter time, space, or even the world with just thoughts."

"Wow, so you're saying there is a race of people out there that has this kind of power?" Jasper looked at Alice.

"Only the men," I interrupted Alice. "You see, the women only have enough power to protect their families; the men are the ones that can alter anything. Their powers are not as strong at the prophesied one. She is more powerful than her entire people combined."

I looked up from my shoes and saw the room looking at me. Edward stood and walked over to me, taking my hands and rubbing his thumbs soothingly along my knuckles.

"What has this to do with your dreams, little one?"

"I am the prophecy," I whispered. Everyone but Rose heard me, their vampire hearing being so sensitive. I looked up at Edward to see him staring at me, confusion across his handsome face. I let go of his hands and sat down in the chair closest to me. "I am the Yodita prophecy. My father told me a few days ago."

"So you are this all powerful being that can alter things?" Carlisle asked, he scooted forward on the couch, fascinated by what I was telling them. I chanced a look to Rose, who just looked at me, her eyes as big as saucers. I spent the next fifteen minutes explaining what my father had about our past, about the true reason why my mother let me move here.

"And what is worse, I have a man shadowing my dreams." I looked at Edward, hoping he would grasp the fear in my eyes, how terrified I really was of what was going on. "He knows who I am, what I am, and he has threatened everyone I love if I don't agree to marry him." I looked at Rose, who looked like she was about to cry. "Everyone."

She nodded her head and looked down at her feet, than Alice spoke up, "Who is the pup?"

I stood up and walked over to Rose, bending down and taking Rose's face in my hands. "I know this a lot for you to take in. I would understand if you considered me a freak now and took back what you said in the truck. But, Ro, I am terrified myself. I don't know w-what t-to do."

Rose fell to the floor embracing me in a vice grip hug as I sobbed. I felt several arms embrace us and hold us tightly. Edward spoke first.

"We are not leaving you, Poppet." He kissed the top of my head and everyone started to let me go.

Rose looked at me, then around at everyone else. Confusion started to cross her face. "How are you all so calm?"

Edward sighed and smiled at Rose. "My friend, there is little out there that could shock us. We have seen it all." He looked at Carlisle who nodded at Edward encouraging him to continue. "You see, we are not human ourselves."

Rose looked wide eyed at Edward then to me. Taking a deep breath she looked back at Edward, she softly asked, "What are you then?"

Jasper smiled widely and answered, "Vampires."
