Chapter 1- The Awakened Curse

Rosalie's monkey man sat impatiently on the living room couch, awaiting Edwards's arrival. Alice had informed her family of her strange feeling and felt that everyone should be on alert. That was not the main reason for Emmett's distress though. He was more concerned about his ice princess locking herself away in their bedroom and refusing to let him in.

"I just want some alone time Emmett. It's not you, it's me. Wait, that didn't come out right! You know what? Just never mind. I love you." were her exact words.

Rosalie was not usually an indecisive person. She always knew exactly what she wanted to say and how she wanted to say it. She was also never one to seclude herself when she was upset. She let the whole house know how she was feeling and made them suffer with her. So, she was either planning on breaking up with him or her family was really starting to get to her. He hoped it was the latter.

Alice too was waiting impatiently for her younger brother's return. Not being able to see her visions made her completely useless to her family. She hated being blind because it always resulted in something terrible happening. Like that time when Jasper was extremely close to having Bella for dinner. Or that one time she missed out on a really great sale at her favourite designer store. She shuddered at the memories and continued to stare blankly at the television screen.

By this point, Jasper was about ready to march down to Italy and allow the Volturi to rip him to shreds. He wished he could turn off his powers so he wouldn't have to feel every emotion from every person in the goddamn house. The worst experience Jasper had was when he was minding his own business, reading a book on the civil war, when he suddenly felt a wave of lust coming from another room. The lust had affected him greatly and well... the rest is self explanatory.

"Emmett!" the scarred beauty growled, "Can you please pick a channel already!"

Emmett's anxiety had him flicking back and forth through random channels on their T.V and it was really testing Jasper's patience.

"Sorry man".

Edward finally walked through the front door and was met with three pairs of relieved eyes.

"So what the hell is going on?"

Rosalie had locked herself away in her and Emmett's bedroom, secluding herself from the rest of the family. She wanted to escape her accusing family members and their ridiculous assumptions.

"Rose. What really happened out there?" Alice squeaked in her annoying high pitched voice.

"Rosalie, I thought you understood what I said about Bella being family now?" Carlisle voiced in disappointment.

"I agree with your father. I am very disappointed in your behaviour young lady" Esme added.

Rosalie growled at her flashback and ripped open one of the fluffy pillows beside her until only feathers remained. If it wasn't for Emmett holding her back, Rosalie would have left the Cullen clan a long time ago.

"Rosalie!" Carlisle called calmly from the other side of the bedroom door "Edward's back now. The family is going hunting to get prepared for anything that might be coming our way". Rosalie sat silently on her bed, ignoring Carlisle and waiting for him to leave. She had no interest in going hunting with her "so called family". Carlisle stood outside his daughter's door for a few more seconds before sighing and joining the rest of his family downstairs.

"She's staying" Carlisle announced to everyone.

"I'll stay with her" Emmett decided.

"If something is coming Emmett, we need you to be prepared. You're one of our strongest fighters" Carlisle paused, "I know you're worried about Rosalie but she'll come around eventually". Emmett nodded reluctantly, he knew Carlisle was right. Sometimes Emmett wished he and Rosalie could just run away together and start a family of their own. Though, Emmett would never do that to Esme. He loved her like she was his real mother.

Rosalie had heard everything that was spoken from downstairs and felt guilty for shutting her husband out. Whenever she was annoyed with her family, Emmett would always be there for her. Rosalie sprawled out across her bed and rested her head on the only pillow she hadn't destroyed yet. She was tired emotionally but she was feeling it physically as well. Her eyelids were starting to get heavy and she had this overwhelming urge to close them.

Bella expected Edward to stay the night but he told her that he had received an urgent text message from Alice. He obviously didn't mention anything more than that. Edward always kept secrets from Bella for "her own good".

"Own good my ass!" Bella thought to herself.

Bella watched her vampire boyfriend gracefully jump out of her window and disappear into the night. After slamming her window shut, she slipped back into her bed. She always dreaded the nights she spent without Edward. Mostly because of the nightmares she would have when he was gone. She eventually drifted off to sleep.

"Ok Edward, I'm coming over now." Bella hung up her phone and started up her truck. Edward had sounded urgent on the phone and she tried her hardest to get to the Cullen's house as fast as she was capable of going in her beaten up truck. When she finally arrived, she quickly made her way up the front steps and into the house. It was dark and quiet and she expected Edward to have already greeted her at the front door. She cautiously walked further into the house, searching for Edward in every room that she passed by.

"Edward?" her voice echoed eerily in the empty mansion.

That's when she heard a noise coming from the back porch. Bella looked through the already open screen door and found Rosalie leaning against the ledge of the porch. Something was off...

"Rosalie, where is Edward?" Bella asked as she walked towards her.

"Not here." She replied bluntly.

"Then why would he ask me to come over?"Bella asked suspiciously.

"I asked him too." She replied in the same blunt tone.

"Why?"

"So I can finish what I started!" the blonde snapped, suddenly revealing her face. Her eyes were a scarlet colour and there was dried blood that had leaked down the side of her mouth, trailed down her chin, and stained her no longer white blouse. Bella shrieked but was interrupted by the overpowering sound of thunder. The ground began to shake beneath their feet and the porch slowly started to split down the middle. Rosalie grabbed Bella's arm to keep her from falling into the gaping hole forming behind them.

"Rosalie you saved me!" Bella said gratefully.

"Like I said, I need to finish what I started" Rosalie sunk her sharp teeth into Bella's soft flesh and released her into the fiery hole behind them. The last thing Bella saw before the hole swallowed her completely was her reflection.

Bella screamed as she jolted awake in an unfamiliar bedroom, covered in feathers.
