An hour later most of the food was prepared and ready to go in the oven. The trifle was setting in the fridge, the icing for the cake was already made and the vegetables were ready to be boiled. So I went and changed out of my dirty clothes. Because it was so hot outside I decided on a black high waisted skirt that clung to my body tightly. I pulled on a white fitted spaghetti strap top and tucked it into my skirt. I put on a pair of white wedges and a black bead necklace. I washed my hair then left it to dry in its natural waves. I added some mascara and eyeliner and I was done. I'd already invited everyone who lived in the house with me, except Damon and they had all agreed to be there so I had made extra just for them. I quickly drained a blood bag and I was feeling much better.
I walked outside to my garden shed and set up tables and chairs on the lawns seeing as it was so warm. I set the tables and started on making some cool drinks, like lemonade and fruit punch and put them in the fridge. I made sure I had plenty of ice cream and ice cubes. Once I was done it was time to start putting the food in the oven. I had just put the lasagnes in when the doorbell rang.
"I got it," I yelled out and opened the front door and grinned when I saw Charlie, Jake and Billy with arms full of beer.
"Hey Bells," Charlie greeted.
"Hey Charlie, bring them on through, leave the door open for the others," I smiled and led them to the kitchen.
Once the beer was in the drinks fridge I have, the boys made their way into the living room where I heard a game being played on the TV. I rolled my eyes, typical men. All about sports. Leave the women to the cooking. I washed up all the things I'd used so far. I turned on my CD player and a song I liked started to play so I closed my eyes and sang along.

I heard clapping behind me and my eyes widened when I saw the entire pack and imprints stood there watching me with grins on their faces. I giggled in embarrassment and hid my face.
"No need to be embarrassed Bells, that was awesome," Paul announced.
"Yeah I agree with Paul and I didn't think I'd ever say that," Leah said with a pout.
"Thanks, so we're eating outside today because it's so warm today, is that okay with everyone?" I asked while checking on my lasagnes.
"Sure that's fine," Old Quil said while grabbing his self a beer. I rolled my eyes.
"Help your self," I laughed.
"So what are you making? Everything smells so good," Jacob sniffed the air appreciatively.
2 hours later and all the food was gone, the elder men had gone inside to watch a game on the TV. I had hoped to introduce the elders and imprints to the people living in my house but they all seemed to go out after 5 minutes of the wolves being here so I was doing it solo. I was a little upset that no one even bothered saying hello to my pack family, they just left. They had promised to make an effort and make an appearance. So say I was pissed off was an understatement.
Damon hadn't reappeared which I was thankful for. I couldn't deal with him at the moment. I did wish that my mother could have joined us for dinner. I was sure that she'd get along with the elders with their stories and legends. My mother loved telling stories and hearing new legends and stories.
All of the pack were complaining that it was too hot today so I signalled for Kim, Emily, Claire and Angela to come to me. Angela Weber goes to Forks and was one of my very few human friends and I was delighted when Jacob imprinted on her. She knew all about the pack, the Cullen's and me. She was slightly wary of me but it only took a few moments and we were back to our usual chatty selves. The imprints walked over to where I was stood.
"What's up Bells?" Kim asked.
"Stay here a moment, I just needed you all out of the firing line," I grinned when they stared at me in confusion.
I blurred round to where my hosepipe lay on the side of the house and silently crept back around behind the pack. Then aimed it them all and when no one was watching I used my power to turn the tap on full blast. The men and Leah screamed as the cold water hit them. I doubled over laughing at their expense because of the looks on their faces.
"What are you doing Isabelle?" Sam asked me.
"Hosing down the dogs," I winked at the imprints.
The imprints, even little Claire was laughing as Paul tackled me to the ground, wrestling the hose out of my grasp then turned it on me. I laughed even harder when Jacob tackled Paul and I took that as my cue to jump up run to the rest of the pack. Leah shoved me playfully and then Jacob and Paul got a mischievous look on their faces and instead of continuing wrestling the hose out of each others hands they decided it would be funnier to turn the hosepipe on the rest of us.
I ran inside and got my Ipod and portable speakers and set them up a little way from the hose's aim. I looked through my song list until one I really likes came onto the screen, I ran over to little Claire and picked her up. She squealed when she got wet. I started singing; Paul joined in on the Flo Rida parts. I placed Claire in a grinning Quil's arms. Claire was doted on by all the Pack and imprints and I saw her like a niece.
(Paul/Bells/Both)
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
I pointed to Paul and started dancing around him while the other imprints danced with their wolves, the single pack members joined in dancing with me all individually but Paul hogged me mostly.
I like crazy, foolish, stupid
Party going wild, fist pumping
Music, I might lose it
Blast to the roof, that's how we do'z it
I don't care the night, she don't care we like
Almost dared the right five
Ready to get popping, ain't no surprise
Take me so high, jumping no doubts
Surfing the crowd
Oooh
Said I gotta be the man
When they heading my van, might check one too
Shut them down in the club while the playboy does it, and y'all get lose lose
After bottle, we all get bit and again tomorrow
Gotta break loose cause that's the motto
Club shuts down, I heard you're super models
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
Party rocker, foot show stopper
More shampoo
Never one, club popper
Got a hangover like too much vodka
Can't see me with ten binoculars
So cool
No doubt by the end of the night
Got the clothes coming off
Till I make that move
Somehow, someway, gotta raise the roof, roof
All black shades when the sun come through
Oh, it's on like everything goes
Round up baby till the freaky show
What happens to that body, it's a private show
Stays right here, private show
I like em untamed, don't tell me how pain
Tell them this, bottoms up with the champagne
My life, coming harder than we hit play
Do you busy with the bail, were you insane
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
I am a wild one
Break me in
Saddle me up and lets begin
I am a wild one
Tame me now
Running with wolves
And I'm on the prowl
Show you another side of me
A side you would never thought you would see
Tell that body
Gotta make sure do you have enough
I can't lie
The wilds don't lie
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
I am a wild one
Break me in
Saddle me up and let's begin
I am a wild one
Tame me now
Running with wolves
And I'm on the prowl...
I grinned and high fived Paul who looked slightly breathless from the rapping and dancing combined, I saw the others watching us with grins. I gave a dramatic bow then took Claire into my arms again and started dancing around the garden with her as 'California Girl's' by Katy Perry started playing. She giggled as I spun us around in circles. Quil tried to snatch her away but I flicked him on the nose.
"Bad Quil," Claire scolded innocently. Quil looked stunned.
"Good Claire Bear," I cooed.
We continued dancing to whatever songs my Ipod played. We were halfway through the Grease Medley when Peter came outside, of course because the sun was out he started glittering like a disco ball and Claire tried to make a run towards him but I swooped her up in my arms. She started to cry but I passed her to Quil who sent me grateful look. Peter looked slightly hurt but I know that wolves are very protective of their imprints and being near human blood drinking vampires isn't a great thing. Wolves run on their instincts when they're imprints near danger.
"Hey Peter, where have you been? You missed all the fun," I asked.
"Sorry we had to go hunting, we tried the vegetarian diet for the first time," Peter's face scrunched up in disgust. If I wasn't so pissed off then I would of found his face funny.
"And it couldn't wait for just a few more hours to get to know the pack?" I asked irritated.
Peter and Char hunted yesterday, so did Jasper and Rose. So their excuses were bullshit. They could go almost a week without feeling shit. I just wanted them to get to know my pack family. Peter shifted uncomfortably, Char, Rose and Jasper joined Peter. I could hear Quil shushing a still bawling Claire as she tried to escape to go to the four walking disco balls. I turned to Quil who looked like he could cry because Claire was upset. The wolves did almost everything their imprints asked of them and it was killing Quil not to be able to Claire what she wanted.
"Hey Quil, would you like me to hold her for you?" I asked him.
"Yeah, if you don't mind," He answered then passed Claire back to me. He then flanked me so he could keep an eye on Claire.
"Claire, if you're a good girl Quil will help me set up the paddling pool for you and maybe Quil will give you a ride on his back like a horsey. Would you like that sweetie?" I asked while shifting her onto my hip so I could look at her. She nodded enthusiastically.
"Okay, then I'm sure you can be the best behaved big girl there ever was," I whispered.
"Yes Aunty Bell," She said excitedly then hugged me as tight as she could.
I turned back to the four Cold Ones stood in front of me and narrowed my eyes at them all, Rose was watching Claire with longing. If she had been bothered to turn up to dinner then maybe Quil would allow Claire to spend some time with Rose, supervised of course. They at least had the decency to hang their heads in shame.
"Now I don't want any bull excuses about hunting, you all went just yesterday," I said calmly.
"We're sorry Bells," Char said.
"Sorry isn't good enough Charlotte, I wanted you all to meet my pack family, they are extremely important to me and you all couldn't even grace us with a hello or a goodbye sorry we have to go, so why?" I asked.
"You're not the boss of us Isabelle, you can't tell me what to do," Rose said defiantly. I narrowed my eyes at her.
I handed Claire to Emily who gave me a smile then blurred to Rosalie and let my face change as I grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off her feet. I snarled at her.
"I think you'll find I do Rosalie. I make your laws and I am head of the Volturi and I also allow you to stay in my home, so respect your elders child," I hissed dangerously. I saw Jasper take a step towards us. "Don't take another step Major," I said without taking my eyes off Rose.
"I'm sorry Belle," Rosalie said apologetically. I dropped her none to gracefully on her ass.
"I doubt that very much, I just asked you one thing since you started living here. Hell I even helped you out with the Cullen's and so did the wolves and none of us have to do that for you. I don't make you do your own laundry, I don't expect you to pay rent or gas for my cars you all are using yet you couldn't do this one little thing for me, why is that?" I asked.
"The stench of the Werewolves Bells," Char started but I silenced her with a wave of my hand.
"And you don't think you stink to the Pack but have they said anything about that to me? To you? No they have been nothing but nice and you completely disrespect me in my home," I clenched my fists and attempted to calm down.
"Belle," Jasper said.
"No, just go, do whatever you want to do, I don't give a shit anymore," I sighed and turned away from them.
A few hours later and everyone had left, Char and Rose had tried apologizing several times but I told them that they could do whatever the hell they liked. I was severely pissed off. I just wanted them to get along and they couldn't make the effort when the shifters had came and made the effort and they made the excuse of 'werewolf stench' when they're not werewolves.
After changing into a pair of jeans and a tank top I grabbed my leather jacket and headed out the door without telling anyone where I was going. I needed my mom and hopefully she would come find me.
I was a mile away from the house, in the exact spot where I had came across my mother this morning and sat down on the floor, waiting, I didn't care how long I had to wait. I just needed my mom. I don't know how long I was sat on the ground but I heard my mother's voice behind me.
"Hello my Little Bell," she said. I stood up and hugged her tightly.
"I missed you mother," I whispered.
"It's only been a few hours my darling," She replied.
"No I meant I've missed you all those years you've been gone."
"So tell me about your life while I was gone." She said as she sat down on the floor, I sat opposite her ready to tell my tale.
I told her all about the adventures me and my siblings got on. I told her that most of us had stayed the same in over 1000 years and that we were still close.
"In 1860 I moved to a small town in Virginia called Mystic Falls, we know it as the place we lived in as human," I smiled and my mother frowned, "I met a family called the Swan's who I found out were direct descendants of my baby Alexander, they had just moved there so I compelled them to think I was their 18 year old daughter Isabella Swan," I smiled at the memories.
"A few weeks after I moved there I met a young man named Damon Salvatore, he was on leave from the army and we got to know each other. We eventually started courting and while he was away serving in the army I wrote to him every week. His brother Stefan, who was like a younger brother to me kept me company and I found out he had been courting Katherine Pierce, someone whom I knew as Katerina Petrova decades before. They were courting in secret and I only found out because I walked in on them kissing. When Damon came back he persuaded me to sleep with him because we were to be married anyway." I sighed at my mother's stern look.
"Anyway Damon started spending less and less time with me and the night before we were due to be married he came to my room and told me that he didn't love me and that he couldn't go through with the wedding, I broke down because I was utterly devastated." My voice cracked towards the end and my mother held me to her.
"I had to leave town a few weeks later because I found out I was with child, mother I didn't even think it was possible for us to conceive children," I whispered.
"Neither did I," She murmured.
"Would you like to meet them one day? They are so beautiful," I said with a smile.
"Where are they now?" She asked curiously.
"They are in Italy with the leaders of the Cold One's, my Chelsea found her mate there and her siblings couldn't bear to be apart from her so I let them stay, they are safe there and I trust Aro with my life."
I don't know why but my instinct was telling me not to reveal everything to my mother, like the fact I could change into wolf form at will or that I was part of a wolf pack. So I didn't, I trusted my instinct because it was hardly ever wrong.
"I would love to meet them one day but not now, no one can know about us meeting up, they won't understand," she said.
"But I'm sure if I explain it to them they would understand, you are my mother," I smiled but my mother gripped my forearms tightly.
"Isabelle I said don't tell anybody, are you going to disobey your own mother?" She hissed. I flinched away from her. My mother could be one scary bitch when she wanted to be.
"Mother, let go, you're hurting me," I said as I tried to wiggle free from her grasp.
"Promise me Isabella that you won't tell anybody," She insisted as she squeezed harder.
"Okay, Okay I promise, just please let go," I whimpered as she let go and the blood flowed to where she gripped my arm, making it throb.
"I'm sorry Belle," My mother apologized.
I nodded then stood up then turned my back to my mother, rubbing my throbbing arms gently, I took a deep breath and when I turned around my mother had gone and I was alone once again. I stood there for a few moments collecting my thoughts. I shook my head and leant down to pick my jacket up off the floor, I gasped as I was sucked into a vision.
(Vision)
Chelsea, Afton, Demetri, Felix and Jane were walking the Cullen's to the throne room for a meeting with the Kings about their punishments because they'd been under observation long enough when suddenly Edward launched forward and grabbed Chelsea. Emmett started to fight Felix while the Esme fought Afton, Carlisle just stood there wide eyed. Jane started taking down the Cullen's but Chelsea's scream distracted her. She watched in horror as Edward ripped her head off Esme tore off her other limbs. Jane tried to get to them but Emmett blocked her way.
Suddenly there was a fire where Chelsea stood and Alice was cackling like a maniac while holding a lighter in her hand. Jane let out a piercing scream.
The Cullen's, all except Carlisle had crazed looks in their eyes and all their eyes were flat black. They then jumped out of the nearest window and ran off. Afton was looking at the pile of ashes that was his mate with devastation clear on his face.
Jane and Alec were staring in horror while clutching to one another. Demetri and Felix looked feral as they jumped out of the window and gave chase to the crazed Cullen's.
(End Vision)
Dun. Dun. Duun.. Cliffie moment.. Poor Chelsea.
