chapter 1

bella is the daughter of vegeta and bulma. But let's start from when she was sent to live with her uncle to learn what a normal human life was like. It was something her mother wanted her to do. Her brother did the same thing but differently. But she was sent to go and be with her uncle for some time. That was when she met Edward Cullen. as they started to date after she found out he was a vampire. ever since then she moved on with that even after the James issues. A year later they threw her a birthday party and she sliced her finger only to have been knocked into a freaking glass table. it didn't end there Edward was always abusive and verbally abusing her. They never knew she had a son from him for the longest time. but a week after the party she was taken to the woods and was told she was worthless and that she was not worth living and he nearly killed her after he raped her a few times, but he didn't even realize when he bit her while doing the disgusting act, he turned her half vampire. But this was when her destiny began when she found a cat with a moon on her forehead was when she was turned into sailor moon. And as well the moon princess and the keeper of the silver crystal. but that also awaken her mother and father since they were also the reincarnated rulers of the moon kingdom as well. But let's start with the beginning endymion was always evil he invented a mind controlled, drug to make us all believe he was evil. bella was indeed found endymion soul who was born as mamoru Chiba who had all his memories. He had his mind control drug at the ready and gave it to her. But the abuse from the silver kingdom never stopped. he always abusive and verbally abusing her and fiscally and sexually. But there was a way to break the spell over her was to be prince diamond of the black moon clan die in front of her. She had to give birth to his children in the moon palace he had to clue that was reborn. Uranus and Neptune raised them there. Even after giving birth, he continued to harm her and rape her without knowing what happened. She had four sets of twins from him. But in the end, we found out the truth he was with sailor chaos for a very long time as far as the first silver kingdom. After branding her with the mark of endymion. She has rose cursed markings all over her body. In the end me and bella had to be sent far back into time. That is where she met friends plus her on set of twins seemed to have been sent there for safety. but from that point on she needed to do what time told her to do. As sailor cosmos to take her place as queen. So pluto told her what to do. She had to hook up with griffith she had two sets of twins with him. She also became the high captain in the soul kings army. As time went on she ended up with Oswald cobblepot and had two sets of twins. But she had to move on from there. the gates told us to go to death city where she met spirit, she was lonely so she married him. She had two daughter's and three sons with him. but their marriage failed since he was not able to keep it in his pants. but she was asked to bare lord deaths heir even though he was gay as the color introduced him to mayuri after she was bonded into to kuchiki clan and now had muramasa as a sword spirit. but she had a son and a daughter for lord death. as time went on, she met a man named yuzuru souh who was the reincarnation of prince diamond, and her kind charmed her. even though he was diamond reborn. but she was forced to leave her son's side but never ever stopped sneaking to see him. She never knew what was going on until later. As time went on we found a baby girl that blood adopted her and never knew that she was really snow white and prince charming's daughter. But she was strong like she was raised to be. But she never knew why she took off in the end. She was told that she felt that she was being tossed out and never knew that someone was on their way to come and take care of her while she had to go and do what she had to do for her missions. She also had to take her daughter place in the winter war. She was not going to let her daughter be taken. even though the espda fell for her while being there, he died with the confession of love on his lips to her. She adopted three children in her life. as time went on, she had to change her name to be narcissa so to help out in the first wizarding war she befriend severus and helped him through everything since she caught James doing things he should not to him. But out of revenge since she laced a curse on lily for the pain, she pulled on severus. James kidnapped her and used something that endymion invented. But she was saved by spirit, he sensed her power. The dark lord came to save her son knowing who he belonged to. The true dark lord was albus dumbledor. Who made draco suffer since his first year of school. Used endymion spell to make him suffer more. but her late husband lucius that was when she had a son and a daughter. but in the end albus was the real dark lord only made her one blood adopted father look bad. Draco suffer under albus and no one never knew what had been going on since albus was making him take a unbreakable vow to make him suffer and not get any help. Not even severus knew what was going on. Until the second war started and that is when Lucius had to watch their son suffer right before his very eyes, she never figured out how in the name of moon that all the evil fuckers got all endymion spells . even the one that makes his parts grow larger everytime he heard someone scream…. Draco had to watch his father be burned to death. That was when the great freeze happened 1000 years of sleep. When everything was unfrosted she became neo queen serenity. and now here we are not even a day after the final battle with endymion and chaos who are in the gates of hell had sword also did something else since she was who she is the eternal dragon brought back the sayain race. The genyu force and the frieza family and zarbon all came apart of her family since she gave them something to look forward to, and her father was proud of her for that. but Endymion brother found her and used the spell to send her and himself back in time. where the two was separated when they got there. that was when bella met Gustave daee who came friends with her. but he knew he was dying and asked her to blood adopt his daughter and treat her as if she was her own. he knew her story. bella did as he asked and blood adopted Christine. but a year after the blood adopting Endymion brother james found her and kidnapped her to make her life a living hell.

bella buzzed through the crowd as easy as going down a stream of water, making it very easy to get into the Masquerade. All the masked people were dancing and singing as they celebrated the wonderful holiday that bella grew to love. bella hid in the shadows of the main stairwell where everyone was doing the most dancing and singing.

"This is amazing!" thought bella

bella got to the upper level and got a better view of the crowd from a balcony. Then she spotted james talking to a man dressed as a ram, and another man as a rooster. bella ran back into the shadows of the balcony and headed a stair way close to them but wanted to not get caught. Suddenly bella was in a good hiding spot breathing heavily as she was holding her breath and also going as fast as she could to not be seen by Gunner.

"Excuse me mademoiselle, but may I have the honor of a dance with you?"

bella jumped and looked up to see a man covered in red attire with a red cloak that nearly hid him inside and he had a skeleton mask on which covered half of his face. To her she was the handsomest man she ever met or seen. her pink and red eyes where in shock. she wondered if this was the person pluto sent the message about who is meant to be her king and her soulmate. pluto sends messages here and there when she was able to break through the time stream. but it was nice that she does that for her.

"Or perhaps you are afraid that Red Death will steal your soul?"

"Mousier, I would have no need to be afraid of Red Death for my face hidden in this mask would make him repulse at the sight of me," said bella

bella smirked looking directly into his eyes that seemed to enchant her, and she enjoyed every minute looking at them. To her, it was as if he would understand her better than anyone else. Funny thing was she couldn't put her finger on why that was so. but her soul sang when she was around him. he was comforting and something else. but she didn't know where to put her finger on it. she was told by james that he destroyed her face to make her look ugly for anyone who would want her in the end. it was for revenege for his brother being tossed into the gates of hell.

"I doubt that very much mademoiselle,"

the mans voice as enchanting as his eyes as he smirked at her and offered her his hand which showed he wore a black leather glove that matched perfectly with his costume. bella felt herself lightly blush as she took his hand and he started to lead her downstairs to the main hall, the odd thing bella kept noticing was that he not only kept looking somewhere as if looking for someone, but also tried his best to keep his red cloak hiding him. They both made it to the dance floor and she stepped into place for the waltz that was about to start.

"I should warn you mademoiselle, I am not a very good dancer,"

"Don't worry Mousier, for I am an angel of dance as well as angel of music," said bella

"So are you an angel then?"

"I am in a way," said bella

"What do you mean?"

"I am an angel but I don't have an angel's face, and my story is not a happy one," said bella

"So you are a tragic angel, maybe I could hear It sometime.,"

bella heard him whisper before dipping her to the side as required in the dance. Kat was surprised and wanted to ask him if it was true but thought it would be better to ask him another time, as it must be a painful subject for him to talk about as it was for her. they both danced three more times, enjoying each other's company and the Masque. bella had started telling the stranger a bit more about herself,

"In fact my guardian is planning on taking me to see the opera for my birthday this year," said bella

"Oh really?"

"Yes," said bella

bella then just realized something, she was talking everything about herself but the man with her never said a single thing about himself. She wanted to know everything about him. and wondered why he was so curious about her. and wondered if he felt the same pull that she does. She needed to trust him to tell him her story. Because it was something that was a lot to take in. It's hard to play someone who is younger currently. but she was far from young. Her soul is old. but Endymion made sure she would suffer for when she killed him and tossed him into hell. and when she gets the chance to do it to James his brother them she will. since her father is the soul king and she can control hell. but for now, she needed to do what she had to do.

"By the way, what is your name monsieur?" asked bella

"You will know soon enough, and what is your name angel?"

"My name is Isabella…" said bella

"isabella… I will remember your name mademoiselle, And I hope you have a good birthday, as well as enjoy the opera that will be performed on the same day,"

he looked directly into her eyes. Kat looked at him feeling as if he was about to say good-bye to her. The strange man cupped her cheek in one hand as he smiled at her. his thumb brushed her cheek gently. bella savored his touch on her cheek, even though she felt a leather glove on her skin, this man was the first to have not only run from her but also touch her. Not even Gunner made her feel like this, like she was a normal person…a normal and beautiful person.

"Will you be there…?" asked bella

"I plan to,"

"Raoul think of it, a secret engagement!"

bella and the masked stranger were. bella felt the whole room go to complete silence as she slowly turning to see who the woman was and silently prayed she now just started to imagine things. bella spotted the woman and the man that was with her. bella's eyes widened as she saw who the couple was and felt her heart stop beating as she saw the two people she thought she would possibly never see again in her life… It was Raoul and Christine!

"But why is it secret? What do we have to hide?" asked Raoul

"Raoul, please don't! They'll see!" said Christine

"Well let them see! It's an engagement not a crime! Christine what are you afraid of?"asked Raoul

Raoul wondered why before leading her into the dance floor and waltz with him softly singing, but Kat couldn't hear what they were saying for she was leaning against the wall staring at them in shock. Kat then remembered the masked stranger and looked back at where he was but found him gone. bella gasped and noticed he was gone. that he left without her noticing. She looked back at her twin sister and Raoul, she gasped, covering her mouth as she saw them kiss. Then Kat glanced at the staircase seeing the guest start to dance on the stair way still singing the holiday song, rose pedals fell from the balconies as they performed it. Suddenly all the lights in the room began to darken and everyone looked around wondering what was going on. And then people gasped as they moved away from someone at the top of the staircase…it was the masked man that bella was with before! bella then glanced at the staircase and saw bella by the men he was talking to before. bella ran out of the opera house and back to her home.

meanwhile a month later

The next month after the Masque, bella was getting her best dress she made herself for tonight out and ready to be put on as she was getting ready for the opera. According to what Gunner had told her the phantom was suspected of being there that evening since it was his opera that was being performed. She was very excited about seeing it. but she was worried about the phantom. she was worried about him being caught. She knew Raoul very well when he was younger. Her little Christine grew up very beautiful. She felt bad that she was not there to see it. but she would understand in time when the time was right to tell her about everything.

"I bet he made a fantastic opera! I hope he doesn't get caught by the policemen…" thought bella

bella brushed her hair and braided it up making her gorgeous in her unique light pink dress with a dark pink veil that she tied around her waist for a belt for the gown. bella then placed her white mask with moons all over it. she made it herself. she usually wore and put two roses James bought for her as a small resent in her hair to make her look more like a beauty then she ever thought she would be. Something that has the Endymion family smell. they love their woman smell like roses. and it was a turn on for them. She just hope he would leave her alone tonight.

"I only hope I won't attract too much attention… Otherwise I will be mistaken for the phantom himself… well if I had a penis that is. and he had boobs that are big. so yeah that would be a very interesting mistake." thought bella

bella snickered to herself with that thought before grabbing the key to the house and hid it in her cloak's secret pocket she made herself since Gunner made her do chores since he wasn't always around due to the phantom's opera. Gunner knocked on her bedroom door alerting her that he was here to pick her up. she walked to her door and opened it to see james outside looking at her jaw dropped. he lead Kat to the box that was opposite of Box five that james had told bella was the very box the phantom himself would occupy while watching other operas that were performed here for the past three years.

While on the way to the box bella took quick glances around of the backstage area of the opera house that Kat had dreamed of seeing when she would be able to sing and dance on the stage. She couldn't believe how many people worked here or how wonderful every looked in their costumes for tonight's opera. bella spotted Christine with Raoul again, this time though she seemed stressed about something. Like she was terrified to perform… bella couldn't believe the beauty of the small room that she was going to be in to watch the oera.

"But be careful to not be seen for if the police spot you or anyone else, it will be big trouble for us all," he added making sure Kathleen knew that this was a very big risk coming here and especially on this night of all nights when there was going to be police everywhere. Kat looked at him and nodded her head as she understood the danger in coming here. james leaving the room and shutting the door. Kat took a breath to help shake off the nervousness of being in here by herself alone. bella slowly took off her cloak and hung it on the coat rack that was by the door. Suddenly bella felt like someone was watching her. She turned around and looked to see if anyone had spotted her, but oddly enough there was no one around. as she took a chair that was good enough to have her not only hear and see the opera but also to be hidden a bit when the lights go out when the opera starts. Kat looked across to box five where she then remembered about the phantom 'haunting' that particular box. before looking at the stage where she could see that the conductor was starting to get ready to start the show.

Meanwhile moments later

bella felt like she was being watched again and looked behind her to see if anyone had snuck into the box and was trying to spook her. There was no one there. Unaware that someone from the shadows in box five was looking right at her before leaving to go and participate in his opera. bella noticed there was movement from box five but ignored it, as the music of the opera was starting. A few minutes into the opera was amused and amazed at the performance and the plot of it almost made her laugh. But when she saw her daughter appear onto the stage singing what she now figured as the leading role in the opera bella could only feel envy for her little Christine for being able to sing on the stage. She knows she should feel hatred for her daughter, but she couldn't help feeling proud of her as she heard her sing and watch her play the part of an innocent girl in love. Another image of the phantom flashed in bella mind, and she felt herself blush. She then looked at where the 'Don Juan' had disappeared behind the curtain and then saw him come out covering his lower face like he wanted to be hidden from everyone. But when he sang she recognized the familiar sound of his voice as he talked to the passarino to go away.

bella felt her heart starting to pound of its own accord as she listened to the phantom's voice as he sang his opera song. As if his voice had enchanted her, which it was. And when he saw how he moved on the stage, she felt a singing and a fire in her veins; she started wondering if he was having the same effect on her daughter as he was on her. bella could also swear that when he had his arms around her daughter, she felt his arms around her…as if he was either torturing or seducing her with only his voice and movements as he performed with her twin.

bella was almost grateful to him as when he stopped, although she loved hearing him sing but if she didn't get her heart in control again, she feared she wasn't going to be able to withhold the urge to sing along with him which would draw attention to her. But it was so hard to resist the urge, even when bella had her hands tighten on the arms of the chair to help her fight it. Christine then began to sing back to him and bella felt herself almost wanting to throw the chair at her daughter for she wanted to hear the phantom sing some more, but she again fought that urge and watched them some more. She started to wonder if the phantom had something for Christine judging by the way he was looking at her as she sang. bella noticed that her sister had glanced up at one of the boxes before her daughter turned to look at the phantom. She looked in the same direction and knew that it was Raoul that she was looking at.

"He must have put her up to this, performing the leading role with her as bait for the phantom to come here…" thought bella

bella thought to herself as she gave Raoul an evil and hating stare. Boy did she hate more than she ever did before. bella the looked back at her daughter and the phantom, she couldn't help but wonder if her daughter knew it was the phantom she was singing with and not another performer here in the opera house. She soon found out as her daughter had a scared expression on her face and tried to run offstage but the phantom stopped her and pulled her with him to the center of the stage. bella stood up as her daughter pushed the hood of his black cloak and revealed what he was really like without being dressed as the red Death. He wore a mask that covered half of his face and he appeared quite handsome to bella eyes, she wondered why everyone was afraid of him. Then he began to sing softly, and he looked at her with longing as was the impression he was giving with the way he acted towards her.

Like a shy boy trying to talk to a pretty girl, he knew he had no chance of impressing or winning her affections. kind of reminded her of her sons when they wanted to be with someone they liked. well except the time when they didn't know it was their sister. That was an awkward moment. bella felt her heart slowly breaking as she listened to him and wanted to go to him, to help soothe him as he has soothed her at the night of the masquerade. Then when Christine took his mask off bella felt her heart hurt even more as she said the pain reflected on his deformed face and the sound of his cry before he took off with Christine and disappeared. bella cried for him to wait, but it was drowned out by someone's scream from backstage. She found herself crying softly before james came in and took her away just as the phantom had taken Christine away.

meanwhile a four months later

Four months had passed since that night and bella couldn't get a good night's sleep, for she kept worrying about the phantom. her soul sings out for him. and she didn't know what she should do. or go search for him. She had been told by james and what she had read in the paper that the phantom took Christine to her lair and that Raoul had gone and saved her from him. And that the phantom had disappeared without a trace. but she knew different. She had her moments where she disappears when he is sleeping. but she always came back. She has no idea why she would do that. This time that she is in was different from any other time she was living through. but it was the same world. her kingdom. well not her kingdom yet until she merged back into time.

"Where is he now? Is he all right? Has he been captured?" though bella

bella walked outside to dump the dirty water she had just used to clean the floor with. bella sighed sadly as she looked at the street james and her were living on. Since that night james had told her to pack everything up for they were going to move to a different part of town to avoid the police and mob from catching her as well as wrongfully accuse her as being the phantom. bella secretly wished to stay close by so as to help the phantom if she ever ran into him, An image of the phantom appeared in her mind as well as his voice echoed in her mind. She felt her heart pounding heavily again, as it always did when she thought of him.

Ever since bella had seen him and heard his voice, he had been haunting her in her dreams. and sometimes they were naughty dreams that she had of him. and of him singing to her and dancing with her underneath a full moon as if he was seducing her. And when he was just about to kiss her, she would wake up from her dream with her heart pounding as well as her entire body feeling like she just got out of a very good hot bath. bella had known then she must be in love with him, very deeply in love if she had been dreaming of a man she had only seen twice. she must ask pluto next time she was able to get through the time and space vortex to be able to talk to her and tell her how things are going back in the time she is meant to be in.

"But then the heart always knows and is wise when it comes to love," thought bella

bella started to walk back inside to check on the supper for today. As she stirred the stew in the pot that hung in the fireplace, her mind wandered back to the phantom again. She sighed again and walked away from the fireplace, wrapping her arms around herself as the sound of the phantom's voice singing echoed in the silence of the small room. The image of the phantom unmasked and painful expression flashed in her mind. bella placed her hands to her chest feeling her heart pounding against it. The image of the phantom appeared as he was in his opera with his half mask on.

The phantom's singing voice echoed again in her mind. bella hummed feeling warmed as she reached a handout to him. The image took her hand and then suddenly appeared behind her wrapping one arm around her waist while still holding her hand. The left side of his face brushed against hers, like how he held her daughter as bella had desired he would do to her. bella moved her free hand to gently caress the masked side of his face. bella hummed moving her face to meet his, just close enough to kiss him but when she was about to touch his lips, he vanishes making bella alone.

bella wrapped her arms around herself as she remembered him being kind and gentle to her at the masque. An image of him unmasked and his face full of pain as it was when Christine unmasked him. bella felt tears gently spill down her cheeks before she wiped them away quickly before looking to see him before her again. bella hummed smiling at him receiving one back from the image. bella hummed while walking up to him and cupping his gently and slowly so as not to scare him. bella hummed holding a long note as she moved her face slowly to his as he moved to kiss her lips. But again, he vanished before she could have his lips touch hers; leaving her alone again...she then noticed someone was sitting on the street outside the house holding onto his leg with both of his hands, wincing in pain as well from what Kat was hearing from the distance. bella couldn't tell for sure is he twisted his ankle or had cut his leg since his back was to her. What she could tell though was that he was a gypsy, since he had tanned skin and long dark hair. Knowing that gypsies were as much of an outcast as she was, bella went to him. The poor man had a bad cut on his leg and was trying to put some herbs on it to heal it up, but kept hissing as the sting of the pain made him draw back his hand, he was pushing the herbs with.

"Do you need help with that?" asked bella

bella gently touching his shoulder with her free hand. she can sense this man didn't mean her no harm. and he needed help. Maybe she could use her power to heal him. It's all it is good for these days. she tried her best to use it to fight James, but he is much stronger than his brother. so, she has been trying to figure out how she was going to get away from him eventually. Then man turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face. Kat knew that he must find her wearing a mask confusing and wondered why she wanted to help him.

"You do know that gypsies are said to be dangerous as a rabid dog,"

he is looking at her up and down as if he was wondering if bella had come from a costume party. bella softly chuckled at his question. but she snickered she would say the same thing when it came down to if people found out that she was not human. and half vampire. who happened to feed on criminals at night. she wouldn't dare to drank james blood even though he wanted to give it to her. because he knew the blood would cause her pain. the man looked at her and wondered who this woman is. he could sense that she is not normal.

"I have no doubt, for a rabid dog only attacks because it is only doing so to defend itself from what it suspects to be danger, and most people will think that they are dangerous since they believe the appearances of some people or creatures are what they seem, or what they are after finding out what they are. so, I don't agree with what you said good sir." said bella

"You don't believe what people say?"

"I don't believe what people say, I believe what I know from the inside of the person or creature, not by how they look, or what they are human or not." said bella

bella smiled to him as she opened the door and help the man inside the house. She wanted to make him understand that she is not that kind of person. and well she was not human and never was, but she was not going to say that to him just yet. even though she dropped hints to him about it. while the man looked at her and figured out, she is not human. but he was not going to pry on what she was and who she was. but for now, he was going to accept her help. She felt warm. and the moon made her glow as if she was the mistress of it. His people believed in the moon kingdom and vowed to protect it if the princess ever appeared to them or anyone of her family that is.

"It seems you are not like other people here in this city, and not because you are wearing a mask either,"

"Don't move it so much it will bleed more," said bella

bella was trying to make sure he didn't move much. before getting a bowl of water and her needle and thread. bella rested the bowl by his leg and quickly grabbed a clean rag to wash the cut. It was a big one when she finished cleaning it, practically from the knee nearly to the ankle. bella took the medical herbs he had in his pouch and went to use another bowl to mush it with little water, she ran out of all her stuff in her capsule cases. but she didn't want to reveal her power to him yet. but she started spreading it onto the wound. The man softly hissed as pain stung like hell as she put the herbs on the wound.

"Don't worry, I am almost done with it, you remind me of people I once knew a long time ago. This might sting a little more but please bear with it," said bella

"So, what do people call you?"

"Not many people know me, but my name is isabella, What is your name?" asked bella

"I am named Marcus, for I am as good at hiding as the moon," said marcus

marcus was looking at her with interest as she was a mystery to him, he noticed she glowed as the moon shined on her. he wondered if she is the moon princess they always waited for. if so, he needed to get her away from this place. He sensed there was evil after her, and in this house. he took notice that she has a gentle soul since she was kind to him. bella finished wrapping the bandage and went to check on the stew.

"So how did you get that cut Marius?" asked bella

"I got it cut while I was fishing by the river near here, it took my rod but thankfully didn't drag me with it," said marcus

"So you were sitting by something sharp and it cut your leg? Must have hurt like hell, it didn't take me long to smell the blood when I found you." said bella

bella tasting the stew again to make sure it was good enough to eat. it was one of makoto recipes. she used a lot of her recipes. that and chichi's. but knowing her stew tasted good, bella went to the oven and checked the bread. She shut off the oven and covered her hands with a cloth so to quickly take the fresh bread out of the oven and rested it on the stove before she felt her hands get burned.

"So tell me isabella, was that you I heard humming a while ago?" asked marcus

Marcus raised brow to Bella and wondered if it was her who was humming. her voice sounded heavenly. he took note that she is half vampire there is some in their group. bella made a squeak as she blushed of embarrassment as she didn't know someone heard her sing of her feelings. even though how old she is and how long she has lived. someone still was able to make her blush like a school girl that she no longer one. since she is far to old to even think about going back to school. plus she graduated early in her age. even though when she had to play human she was in school. not much she was happy about doing that. Marius softly chuckled as he found his answer was yes.

"Don't be embarrassed isabella, I actually thought your voice was amazing, I already know that you are half vampire. and a lunarian. we have half vampires and full vampires in our clan. but we live to protect the lunarian royalty though. My people would think you were angel," said marcus

"I have been singing and dancing since I was little, that and fighting as well. my father raised me to be a fighter. but it has been my dream to do so in front of an audience but… and yes I am half vampire. and I am lunariend royalty I used to be princess serenity and now im neo queen serenity. my story is a long a very long sad and horrible story. But the asshole I live with james who happens to be Endymion brother and much stronger than him. he told me that he messed up my face so no one would ever want me, all for the revenge for tossing his brother in the gates of hell.…" said bella

bella sighed and taking the bowl of stew to him. Marcus nodded his head in thanks before gently taking the spoon she left in the bowl for him, and blew the hot stew before tasting it which he found was very good. he has to tell the others who he have found. and needed to get her away from Endymion brother. bella smiled before going to the window to see if james would be home from his job interview he told her that this morning before he left.

"You know isabella, that if you are looking for a real place to call home you are always welcome among my people, we will protect you that what we were born for. we were born to protect you, and there is other vampires around as well." said Marcus

"I will remember that if I am forced to leave this hell," said bella

"As much as I would like to talk with you some more but I should get back to my camp before it gets dark, If you wish to find us if you are in trouble," said marcus

After chatting with Marcus, bella found herself enjoying the gypsy's company, and the stories he told her of his people and original homeland, as well as what they are going to do in the future if they can make enough money for every one of their camps. and she might take him up on that offere when it came down to offering her a place in their home. she smiled and was happy to know that someone other than james and Christine's father, maybe the moon bless his soul. hoping he is living in the soul socitey and living in peace. as marcus handed her a necklace that would show her the way. while she handed something to him to have him to show proof of who he met and share that he found serenity.

meanwhile a few hours later

bella took out a drinking glass for endymion and went to the cabin where Kat kept the drinks in. She took the chance to slip out a small bottle she had hidden in her corset. she taking a card out of endymion hand book and do this to his brother. She had bought the bottle a few weeks ago from the apothecary in case robber came and broke into the house, since she heard that the street they were living on was rumored to be robbed on some occasions. So, in case the robbers wanted her to serve them a drink, she would drug them and head to safety. Luckily for her the apothecary owner never bothered to ask why Kat wore a mask around that time. Before taking a gulp of the drink. bella had slowly backed away, fearing that the drug would work too fast. She soon found out that the drug took quick effect as she feared as james soon started to get groggy and then passed out making his drink fall to the floor breaking the glass along the way.

When bella felt that it was safe to move, she moved quickly To james's coat and looked through his pockets she soon found that there was a wanted poster for the phantom for ten thousand francs if he was found alive and twenty thousand if found dead. Feeling betrayed and angry at Gunner for lying to her about finding the phantom when he was searching for her Kat went and packed up her dresses, undergarments, which there were very few, and her other two masks she had made herself. Knowing she didn't have enough time she packed some bread and cheese hoping it would be enough for her to hold until she got to the phantom and they both were somewhere safe.

"I pray that I make it in time and never get to see james ever again! until im strong enough to defeat him!" hissed bella

bella lifted her traveling bag over her shoulder and went out the door being careful to not waking the lying pig that was still in a drugged sleep. The sound of thunder echoed in the night as a rainstorm was coming but bella didn't pay much attention as she ran to where her old home was by the opera house was and found the shed that james had said the phantom was hiding in, at least the pig didn't completely lie to her. Kat opened the door and shut it just as soon it was about to stop raining. bella rested her bag by the door and gently took her mask off to wipe the rain drops off of her face and her mask. She looked up and found herself in complete darkness, but she wasn't afraid of it. she faced dark creatures and monsters that would make the strongest and brave soul alive to piss himself. What she was afraid of that she was too late and that he was already captured by other men that would want that huge bounty that was on him. bella felt that there was someone else in the shed with her, so felt half relieved. But was it him was what was she was wondering.

"Are you there…?" asked bella

bella spoke softly as she slowly rested her mask on her bag. Only silence filled the darkness of the shed as bella received no answer from the phantom. He stood still and was surprised to see some young girl come in his hiding place and knew he was in here with her. Who was she? And why was here? That was the very question that was going through his mind as he held his breath hoping that she didn't find him in here. bella took her cloak off and rested it on top of her mask and bag before rubbing her arms to warm herself up. She slowly walked forward with her hands in front of her feeling out for anything so she couldn't trip herself over anything in the shed.

"Don't be frightened, I came here to find you before it was too late," said bella

bella felt that she was near by a table and gently felt around it before she found herself suddenly touching a warm and muscular chest…she then saw his face, unmasked and bare for all to see as her face was. bella had felt his pulse underneath the palm of her hand…to her ears she heard music then just a thump, thump a regular beat would make. She felt the singing in her veins that he brought up inside her as he did when she first heard him sing, and her own heart began to pound as her hands moved upward and stopped at his shoulders. His hand gently touched her arm as if to see if she was real. Her feelings for him and how happy she was that she made it in time she embraced him in her arms wrapped around his neck. She then moved back to look into his eyes again and saw his heart and soul completely bare to her. She knew then that james had told the truth about him searching for her and that he must care for her as she did him.

Then he kissed her, and she felt her body singing of desire as the world around her fell away and she caressed the deformed side of his face. They both started to softly whisper to one another as he led them to the bed that was in a dark corner of the shed. As she was stripping his clothing off as he was doing with her own before they landed on the bed still kissing and caressing. He then took her as a man would with a woman…he made love to her again and again, their cries of pleasure silently heard only between the two of them. And every time bella climaxed she felt herself in a wave of ecstasy and in a paradise, she never dreamed of…except with the man she loved with her whole body and soul. She looked at him as they had their last climax and gently caressed his face which was covered with a light sweat and his eyes looking down at her with gentleness, she wanted to mark him as her soulmate since pluto said he was her soulmate. but that would have to wait. bella gently kissed his lips and slowly rested his head on her chest the deformed side of his face resting on her skin as she held him to her with love and gentleness, showing that she cared for him and didn't care if he was deformed or not.

"What is your name…?" asked bella

"Erik…" said eric

eriks voice again making her body and heart pound at the sound of it. Slowly Kat began to fall into a deep sleep. Erik then slowly after he felt completely rested, he looked out the window and saw that it was almost dawn. He looked back at bella and felt ashamed at what he had done with her as well as what he was. He then got out of bed and dressed glancing at bella as she slept with a happy smile on her face. Erik went to the bed and gently pecked her head and softly whispered a good-bye before going off into the darkness and disappeared.
