Rose POV

After Bella and Chris left I walked back into the school and sat back at the table. I had a huge shit eating grin. Edward looked confused for a second and I realized it was because he still couldn't read my thoughts. I'd have to ask Bella what she did later.

"What the hell! Why cant I read your mind?" I smiled smugly at him.

"I have no idea, Eddie." He growled lowly at me and that just made my grin grow wider. "Why the fuck are you trying to snoop through my thoughts anyway Edward. What gives you that right. I thought that you at least tried to stay out and give us privacy, but clearly that is not the case."

"Who were those people you were hanging out with?" Before I could answer his question my phone buzzed. I looked at it quickly before slipping it back in my pocket.

"They are new here. They came from Maryland." I said quickly.

"Who texted you a second ago?" I was getting pissed now.

"Dammit, what is with the twenty questions. Could you just be happy that I'm moving on and that and not sulking around like you did for years after you broke up with your human? Don't ask me anymore questions okay? Just leave it alone. I'm leaving and if anyone follows me I will kill you," I said already halfway to the door.

I walked out into the rain and jumped into my car, happy that today was the day I decided to drive myself.

After a few hours of driving around I found myself at the treaty line. I saw a giant russet wolf walk in front of me. Then it walked into the woods and emerged as Jacob Black. I walked over to Jake and looked up at his massive form.

"Black," I said simply with a grimace.

"Blondie," He said with a grin. He knew I hated that nickname. I smiled at him and pulled him into a tight hug. Jake and I had gotten to know each other well over the years. About ten years after we left Forks I came back. Jacob had come to the house to reestablish the treaty and we had ended up getting to know each other and because I was the only Cullen around at the time I was allowed over the treaty line. When my family came back I was still allowed over but they weren't. They were upset at first but soon got over it.

"What's up Rosie. I hear that you met my friend," He said. I shook my head.

"So you knew. How should I feel. My best friend has kept the secret hat the love of my existence has returned and felt that I should not know. The thing that's most offensive is that I came straight her to tell you that she was back."

He sighed. I wasn't mad or offended because I knew that Bella had probably asked him not to tell any of the Cullens, and that includes me. He looked ashamed and then confused when I burst into a fit of giggles.

"I'm not mad Jake trust me. She is your best friend to and I know you knew how mad she was at us for leaving so, it's OK. Now about what I came for. Are Bells and Chris allowed over the treaty line?"

He nodded at me and I slipped into my car. I knew if he didn't say anything that he heard something and then I did too. there was a car coming towards us and fast. I could tell it was Edward because I remembered the way his car sounded.

I motioned to Jacob to go into the woods and shift. As he came back out Edward finally appeared.

"Rose, someone called to request your presence. He claimed his name was Christian. Also what are you doing with the dog?" Jake growled but otherwise ignored his comment, as did I.

"Thanks Eddie. Let's go Jake. Also, if you follow us I will castrate you. My friends are not ready to know you yet so don't try to force your presence on them," I growled at Edward. Jake followed me to my car and we took off toward Bella's house.

Bella POV

I had told Chris to call the Cullen house, so that they wouldn't know I was alive yet. I knew I had made the right call when Edward had picked up. He said that Rose wasn't home yet and that he would tell her what we wanted.

About ten minutes after we called there was a knock on the door. I was excited to see Rose, but was surprised when I saw Jacob standing behind her. Jake and the pack had known about my change since the beginning.

"Hi guys. Welcome to Casa de Brandon," Chris said as he slung an arm around my shoulders. Rose growled at him and I smiled at her. I walked over and pulled her into a passionate kiss that, even though we didn't need to breath, left us gasping for breath.

"That was so hot," I heard Chris say, and I saw Jacob nodding in agreement out of the corner of my eye.

"Hey, Babe. I want to tell you something so follow me." We ran upstairs to my room and I grabbed a pair of bikinis. I threw one at her and told her to put it on. I could smell the scents of our arousal mixing together as we looked each other over.

I pulled her down into the pool area. "So what'd you want to talk about?"

I pulled Rose toward me and faked like I was about to kiss her, and right before our lips met I threw her into the water.

She seemed confused for a second after she surface, but then really angry and I knew I was in for it. "What the hell Bella! Look at me!" She stalked towards me and pulled me so tight against her it almost hurt. She turned us around and I didn't know where we were going because I was to focused on her. Suddenly we were falling backwards.

"OK, now that I've gotten my payback, what did you want to say to me," she said with a smirk on her face.

"I wanted to say, I have a gift that will be able to give you all my other gifts. I wanted to know if you wanted me to use this gift on you. You would have every power that I have now and more as time goes on."

She thought this over for a second and then looked at me. "I would like that, but I have to ask, what do you mean, 'more as time goes on'?"

"One of my many gifts is absorption of other talents. Both Chris and I are what would be considered sponges. We are also shield which comes in handy. Over the years we have acquired many gifts."

"i accept the offer. So What will I be getting?" I smirked at her and listed my talents.
