Chapter Fourteen: Who's the Dud Now?

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight Saga; I'm just screwing with the characters. Have fun with whatever happens and characters I make up.

AN: Sorry if my story seems to be going off track a little to some of you but it's going to get a little crazy from this chapter on out so buckle up and enjoy the rollercoaster. If I have to clarify some things let me know and I will, other than that enjoy the story.

Bella's POV:

Everything just seemed to get more and more bizarre by the moment. My family is apparently much larger than I had thought before. Emmett looked over at me apologetically. I just put my hand up and shook my head.

"How can Marie be your aunt, Emmett? She's a witch and I could tell by the smell of your blood when you were human that you were a human," Rose asked confused.

Emmett looked like he would blush if he could. The rest of the Cullens sat back in their seats, interested. Marie was standing by Emmett and Rosalie right now.

"That's because the magic had skipped him. It does that every few thousands of years and it happened to my favorite nephew," Marie told us as she patted Emmett's head.

Emmett grinned goofily as Henry crossed his arms and scowled at him. Henry looked at Marie and his face turned sad.

"What about me, Aunt Marie?" Henry asked with a lip sticking out in a pout.

"I love you, too, but Emmett was my first born nephew," Marie explained to Henry as Vera patted his head.

I watched as Emmett stuck his tongue out at Henry but flinched as Rosalie smacked his head. Henry burst out laughing until Vera scowled at him. He quiet down and gazed at the ground. I found it odd that Darien had sat quietly through all this but when I turned to him he wore the same goofy grin that Emmett always did when he was planning something. Edward began to snicker next to me as he listened to Darien to thoughts.

"I find it quite funny that my largest and strongest nephew happened to be the dud in the family," Darien commented as he sat back crossing his legs like he was relaxing with his hands folded behind his head. "When you were born strong and healthy, the family thought you would be a powerful wizard even becomes a master at something like your aunt and two cousins," Darien told him with a smirk.

Emmett's face turned from smiling lovingly at Rosalie to growling at Darien. Rosalie eyes flickered between Emmett and Darien confused. What was Darien talking about anyways? What does he mean by dud?

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked confused looking around from Darien to Emmett.

"Sorry, it's easy to forget you don't remember anything, Bells," Emmett said as he stood up to pick and walked over to me.

He lifted me up out of my chair and hugged me. This was more of a familiar hug. I recognized this from like another life time. A saw a flash of a small boy with blue eyes and dark curly hair being held in a headlock by Marie but she was dressed in something from the 1920s. The boy smiled up at me and I gasped when I recognized him. Emmett put me down and stared into my eyes worried.

"I just saw something, like a memory; an old memory," I told them.

Marie, Darien, Vera, and Henry got up from their chairs as Emmett kneeled in front of me. Edward wrapped his arm around me comfortingly as Emmett grabbed one of my hands as Marie grabbed my other.

"Can you tell us what you saw?" Marie asked curiously.

I smiled as the memory came back to me. "I think I saw Emmett when he was a young teenager and he was rough housing with Marie. She had him in a headlock and he smiled at me like a goofy kid."

"So you remember that?" Emmett grinned. "I was thirteen and my mom had just told me about how the family was Spellcasters but it had skipped me. I thought it'd be fun to at least know how to fight so I could help my family so Aunt Marie decided to teach me to fight. Figure that's the moment you remembered; when she's kicking my ass."

Marie smacked the back of Emmett's head and scowled at him. "If your mother heard you say that, she'd wash your mouth out with soup."

"Please, don't give Esme any ideas," Emmett whined as Esme crossed her arms and tapped her.

"My dear sister would be disappointed in how her son acts if she was here now. First he's a dud and now he's a potty mouth; tsk, tsk…" Darien said with a smirk.

Emmett stood up angry and turned on Darien.

"Well dear uncle, I'm tired of you fucking teasing me because I have no magic powers in family! I get it but you can't seem to drop. You just have to be a fucking ass about it and make it seem as if you're a badass because you can do magic, have powers, and lived thousands of years, that I'm nothing to the family!" Emmett yelled at Darien.

Marie stood up and put a hand on Emmett's arm to calm him down but he pushed it off. Rosalie stood up but Vera got in her way and shook her head, telling her no.

"You know those potions you been taking will wear off and since Bella doesn't have her full memory, she can't make you anymore of them. You'll be back to your normal wizard strength dealing with a dangerously super strong and angry vampire, Darien, that is your nephew," Marie said as she took Rosalie and they sat down.

Darien smirked and scoffed, "Yeah, right, I still have light a few of those vials on me."

I could already tell Darien cockiness was getting to him and he has already lost the fight before it began. Edward held me away from Emmett and Darien, already sensing a fight about to begin. I saw Vera dig into her bag and pull out multiple things like an umbrella, a sunhat, three bowling balls, and so on until she had four empty vials in her hands. I gazed at her bewildered.

"What? We went bowling the other night; I had to put them somewhere," Vera said like it was the usual for her.

"Don't worry, Bella, she always carries a lot on her and she uses her purse like that. That's what an expansion spell is for," Marie told me with a smile.

"Darien, you're out of the potions so have fun dealing with your nephew," Vera told her husband.

"Aw, shit," Darien said as he flipped over the back of the chair and stood up.

Marie met eyes with Vera and began to count down, "Three, two…"

"Honey, you might want to run," Vera warned.

"One…" Marie said as she looked at her nails.

Everyone watched as the potion wore off and Darien's eyes turned blue and his skin became a little darker. Emmett smirked and ran after Darien as he ran outside.

The last thing we heard before the fight ensued was "Who's the dud now?"

"At least they were smart enough to take it outside," Esme smiled as Carlisle pulled her into a hug.

Marie looked at her cell phone and stood up. She walked to the stairs and I decided to follow her. We went to Edward's room where our clothes were.

"So what do we do now, Marie?" I asked her.

I didn't know what was going to happen now. A few more days of school, then graduation and the party Alice has planned, and then the newborn army, Marie couldn't have come at a better time.

"Well, I have to go see Embry. Your welcome to come with and see Jacob, he probably misses you," Marie said as she stripped down to just her underwear.

We heard stillness down stairs and outside and knew the fight was over. A gleeful Emmett was laughing at Darien. I sat on the bed as Marie pulled her bra on. Suddenly the door flew open and an excited Emmett stood in the doorway. He smiled at me then turned to Marie and quickly turned scared and covered his eyes.

"How many times are you going to do that before you learn to knock on closed doors?" Marie asked tapping her foot.

"I don't know but I couldn't get that image out of my head when I was human and now as a vampire, that's just worse especially with all the scars," Emmett said backing out of the room. "Oh, by the way, I whooped Uncle Darien's ass!"

He opened his eyes as he told us but quickly covered them after seeing Marie.

"Sorry, Aunt Marie, I'm leaving, sorry," Emmett turned around and ran back down stairs.

I looked over at Marie but I didn't see any scars except her face. I assumed only the vampires could see the scars on her besides her face. Marie pulled on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a lavender turtle neck. She sat on the black couch to zip up her knee length brown stiletto boots.

"Do you even feel the coldness, Marie?" I asked curiously.

I thought that maybe she wore the clothing that covered up most of her skin because it covered all her scars. From what Marie has told us about mine and her travels and confrontation, is it possible that I may be as scarred as she is? Could my family have somehow shielded me and anyone who sees me from seeing what I really look like? I gazed down at my bare arms and legs and saw no sort of scars except the one James had left.

"No, I don't but Embry has not seen all the scars that cover me and I would rather he not," Marie told me as she looked in the mirror behind the door.

Her hand lightly stroked the scratch mark across her face and her gaze fell to the ground. She must doubt her beauty, but then I thought about what Edward had told me about when he heard Marie and Embry in the woods that one night. Had he not seen her scars then?

"I thought Embry I had already seen your scars the night you two…" I hesitated unsure of what to say.

"The night we made love in the woods?" she filled in for me and I blushed nodding my head. "It was dark and he may have enhanced senses but he couldn't see my scars as well as vampires could."

"Oh, but even with the scars you're still beautiful, Marie," I told her as I walked over to her.

Marie looked up at me, smiling with tear filled eyes, and pulled me into a hug. "Thanks."

"Marie, how scarred am I really?" I asked her.

Marie's eyes turned sad at me. "I would say as many as me but they're covered. No one can see them."

"Oh, would that be a lot?"

"Have you seen the ones Jasper has?"

"Yes, he's shown me them."

"We have more than that." Marie whispered low enough that only I heard.

She apparently didn't want Edward or anyone else that didn't know to hear. I quickly dressed in a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt and tennis shoes. Marie looked at me and shook her head.

"I can't wait until you regain your memory back. You had such a great fashion sense," she told me before walking out the bedroom.

I just shook my head at her and smiled as we went back down stairs to the family.

AN: Sorry if some things seemed to make no sense or confuse if they did PM me and I'll clear everything up. Sometimes things just don't seem to come out right when I write it then when I think it. Please review still and I will give all of you some great chapters.
