Hi everyone! I am so sorry for posting this late at night but I happened to be at a meeting for a travel I am doing with my friends. Tomorrow night reposting ends, it has been a crazy ride with all of you and I can never thank you enough for all you did for me by simply been there. It means everything to me and tomorrow I also finish my exams so lots of time to write. Brand new chapters on the way but updates will be further apart. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Love always

Josefina


16. Appearance

“Ugh!” Alice groaned. “What happened?”

I was so confused, what was I suppose to tell her? Well Alice you see, someone set you up to most definitely get to me, I don’t know who might it be cause the list of people who have the ability to do this is fairly long and the list with people who would want to do it is even longer, endless even. So you see as much as I would just love to hunt down the one who did this, I really have no way of doing it. Yeah right, that would work. She’s gonna hate me, I’ve lost my new best friend before I even got to know her! That’s gotta be a record for me, I’ve lost a lot of friends to magic but somehow losing Ally hurts more than all the others combined. I took her for granted and now she won’t want anything to do with me, I can’t say I blame her for it. Gosh, will I ever get some peace? Am I capable of not causing trouble for once? I can’t believe I’ve let myself get close again, now I will end up alone and broken beyond repair. What will I do? Suddenly going back to the old routine seems unbearable.

“Bella?” I was holding back the tears that were fighting to break free, I have to be strong. I can’t show any weaknesses, someone might take advantage of it. Who am I kidding? I can’t lie to myself, I just didn’t want her to see how much her rejection will pain me. Get it together Bella! You’ve live for four hundred years alone before them and you can continue to do so! But another tiny voice in my head kept repeating that I could survive those years due to the fact that I didn’t know them, heck they didn’t even exist.

I took a deep breath before returning her gaze, I wanted to be prepared to see the emotions of hate and disgust that would sure be present in her eyes but I hadn’t braced myself to see what was evident there. Ally’s eyes were brimming with concern, sympathy and hurt, the concern for herself and the hurt of feeling betrayed I could understand but it was the sympathy that baffled me. I tried to find my voice but I couldn’t, I opened my mouth but shut it realizing that speaking was an impossible task for me at the moment. My vocal cords didn’t seem to be cooperating, I knew I had to say something but what would it be, what was the right thing to do?

I saw that Alice was going to speak again so I braced myself and prepared for whatever she was gonna say. I had to be tough, there was no other option here even as I wanted to run to never have to hear those words I dreaded.

“Are you ok?” I flinched automatically before realizing what she had said. What did she say? Did I really just hear correctly? I cocked my head to the side, a habit of mine when I didn’t get something. I hated to concede that I didn’t understand, I’ve studied all my life trying to fight ignorance, not knowing could be deathly for us witches. Knowledge means power and I usually have an advantage cause I’m very observant which has save my life countless times. For me it’s easy to analyze people in order to know what to expect but them, this family, even Edward was unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my life. Normal creatures would surely react differently, I was frustrated yet fascinated by them. I guess the reason I can’t figure them out is because I’ve grown attached to them in such a short period of time, after all one has to be impartial while studying something and once you cared about a person, it is impossible to be logical about them. However, this people were not a study, I was not here to do an experiment or to collect data I was here as a result of my affection. A care and inclination I should have fought to avoid bringing havoc as I’ve done. The guilt hit me like a wrecking ball and knocked the breath out of me in one swift blow.

“I think we’ve got it backwards, I’m the one who should be asking about your well being” I talked steadily which amazed me since I was feeling so weak that I didn’t believe myself capable of uttering a syllable.

I jumped a little when Alice started laughing at me, she must be crazy. She had been put under a spell for crying out loud but she didn’t appear to care in the least. Even as it unnerve me I felt relief washed through me as I was able to breath normally again. My heart calmed down, it was like her adorable musical laughter was a sedative for me. I suddenly felt lighter, a bit light headed if I may clarify, I may not be completely human but stress can really wear someone off. I mean I haven’t experience this level of anxiety since well, the death of my parents. I finally snapped out of my thoughts and register the room for the first time since the misunderstanding to put it lightly. Everyone was awfully still looking expectantly at me as if I was a frighten little animal ready to flee from its predator, Jazz must be losing it with so much tension. In my eyes it was such an extremely absurd situation and the picture was hilarious so I couldn’t help it when a giggle erupted from my lips. The Cullen only then started to move taking my good mood as a cue, they did it overly careful though. I felt Edward’s arms wrapping around my waist slowly, hesitantly pulling me closer to his chest and I responded by leaning backwards, I sighed contently with close eyes as I let myself just feel and wondered over his touch. I smiled blissfully, in his arms I forgot about all my worries, fears, anxieties, it all vanished leaving just joy, desire and love. Everything was right and perfect in the world again, this is where I belong.

“I’m so sorry Bella” My eyes went wide when Alice’s voice pulled me away from my reverie. Anger blurred my vision, this is wrong, this is all a mess. I shouldn’t be here as much as I want to, they deserve to go on with there existence as if I never existed. I felt like breaking down cause the mere thought of leaving Edward was tearing me apart.

“Why are you apologizing to me? You’ve got nothing to feel sorry for Ally, it’s me who should be crawling at your feet begging for your forgiveness even as I’m not worth of it. I’m truly deeply sorry Alice, I seem to only bring trouble into your peaceful life, maybe I should just…”

“Bella! Don’t you dare finish that sentence, you’re not going anywhere. At least not without us” I was taken aback by the intensity of her words as she yelled at me, her pixie soft features were writhe in shock and despair. I stood there motionless, unsure of what I had to do as Alice began to simmer down. Once she did things weren’t exactly easier for me but harder as anguish overtook her and she began crying tearlessly. Her body shook, she was short of air and her sobs were loud but not one tiny hint of salty water escaped her eyes. “I thought you loved us” She managed to say between strangle broken sobs and my heart sunk lower in my chest.

I tried telling my body to move, I shouted in my head for my legs to walk over to her so that I could assure her that I did love them and comfort her but I felt my entire self go numb. I couldn’t feel a thing besides the overwhelming amount of pain, guilt and self-disgust that came crashing over me in waves that knocked me lower and lower until I hit the bottom. I felt as if I was lying on the ocean floor with the full force of the water pushing down on me, pinning me to the spot. I was drowning and I wanted to scream for help but my lungs were already filled with water and probably nobody would hear it anyway. My hand stretched in front of me as a pleading gesture and I knew I was going to lose this battle when my eyes were too tire to struggle to remain open. I was about to close them in defeat when I felt someone grabbed my hand tightly towing me back to the surface and reality. I felt the electrical current as Edward saved me from my own mind, his arms wound around me holding me close to his heart. I clung to him for dear life, I stayed still there while he rubbed soothing circles in my back. I was instantly relaxed, I idly wondered if Jasper was giving him a hand but dismissed the thought rapidly, Edward always had this effect on me. Then, without my permission his heart began to beat again. My emotions must be more out of control than I thought and as a result so are my powers, I have to get it together. I looked up and grinned widely at my one and only love. His crooked smile flashed across his face and I knew even if it was the right thing to do I couldn’t leave them, I was a dangerous, selfish creature and I didn’t understand how Edward could possibly love me back but for some crazy miracle he did. That moment was so intimate, looking into each others eyes and smiling at the love and devotion reflected in both of our gazes. But of course it ended all too quickly when everyone gasped and I turned around to see six astonished vampires with their mouths hanging open.

“How…?” Carlisle tried to ask but trailed off shaking his head in disbelief as if Edwards heart might stopped if he did that.

“She’s special” That was all his velvet voice said and with that few words he managed to make me blush scarlet red. I looked down suddenly self-conscious chewing my bottom lip and of course he tilt my head up, I felt a bit better when his heart skipped a beat as he looked at me.

“Yay! I know she is and I’m just so glad she’s staying. I knew you love us!” Alice chimed in and was hopping in my direction, once I was within her arm reach she smothered me in a hug. “Oh! I almost forgot, silly me. I saw what you came here to tell us, you know about the whole three days thing and the demons blah blah blah. So you don’t have to worry about that, everyone is fine with it and I saw it turn out well. Although Emmett is a bit cynic I may add, he doesn’t believe you can do it so he says he’ll step up to the plate and protect us from this weak creatures” Ally and I both rolled our eyes in sync, I was so grateful that she took that off my shoulders. I was reluctant to tell them before what happened to Alice and now it would have been just impossible. I heard Emmett’s booming laughter breaking the silence and I gave him a murderous glare. Really, I was sent here to kill the seven of them alone and he still doesn’t get that I’m stronger than him. It will be fun though to see him try to annihilate a ramble of demons, maybe I’ll let him try. I smirked evilly and Emmett pretended to shriek like a little girl.

“Find then, if you don’t need my protection then save yourself. All of the others are my responsibility don’t worry about them, you’ll have a hard time looking after yourself and I don’t want to put extra pressure on you by risking the lives of your family. Now I’m warning you Emmett, last chance, is this really what you want?”

“Bring it, I bet I can save all of you with my eyes close. How hard can it be when they send a little girl to do it! Piece of cake, it won’t even be fun” I tried to stifled my laughter and look menacing but I failed miserably. I knew he was doubting my abilities and I should be angry about him underestimating me simply because I was tiny and a girl but I couldn’t find it in me. I was amused that for the first time someone actually thought I was weak, my name was so well known between the magic world that it was hard for a creature not to see me and feel either fear or awe.

“If you say so” I just shrugged and turn my attention to Esme and Carlisle. “Is he always like this?” I pointed my finger to the huge vampire who was grinning smugly, I guessed he was probably picturing himself destroying demons and been the hero, rubbing it in my face. Boy was he wrong, he was in for an enormous surprise.

“Worst” Esme replied warmly, it hurt a bit to have her looking at me in that motherly way but it was also comforting. Edward kissed the top of my head and I silently thanked him, Esme looked confused in our direction but he shook his head no and placed his hand in mine.

“Well, I know we don’t do this twice a day but been it such an eventful one I believe it’s necessary for us to sit at the table again. We have a lot to discuss Bella and I hope you’re willing to join us” Carlisle looked my way the entire time he was speaking and I just nodded to show him that I understood.

For the second time, Edward led me to the dinning room. These were very meticulous vampires, everything was in the right place and if I was human I would probably buy that they were just gorgeous pale humans. I felt like I was been put on the stand at a court when I sat down at the same place I took before, Edward sat beside me and squeezed my knee reassuringly. I glance up and he smiled taking my breath away again. Everyone was in their place and the silence seemed to go on forever, it was killing me but I didn’t want to be the first one to speak. My love as always knew me all too well, he kissed my hand gently before turning to the rest of his family.

“What do you want to know?” I wanted to laugh at his resigned sighed, it was like he believed everything I’ve told him is now our secret and he wasn’t exactly glad that we had to share it.

“How did she make your heart beat again?”

My head turned is the direction of the voice, I almost didn’t recognize it as it wasn’t dripping with the usual venom. Rosalie was staring at me in a speculative way, a spark of hope lightened her face and the disgust she had once shown me was gone. I tried to found the possible reason behind it and came out blank. I focused very hard and searched for something said or done in our previous conversation. And then it all came together, the situation hit me hard leaving me gasping. She had been mad when she found out that I was part vampire, but not because of what I was but what I was still able to do. She couldn’t have kids, a real family with Emmett but me on the other hand had the opportunity of been with Edward forever and have him in every way possible. I glance over at Edward and he nodded in my direction when he realized I had figured it out, I thought he looked a bit too amused even as he tried to hide it. I arched my eyebrows, he just shook his head in response and turned around to answer his beautiful sister.

“Well, Bella has already told you that she’s partly a lot of things. Therefore she has a lot of special abilities that most witches don’t, one of them is that she’s able to make part of us human for an indefinitely amount of time” I was dazzled by his crooked smiled and I had to catch myself before I started kissing him passionately in front of his family.

“Bella” I reluctantly torn my eyes of Edward to face Rosalie who was now speaking sweetly to me. “I’m sorry about how I reacted before, it was inappropriate and unfair to you, I was just jealous because…” Her grimaced let me know something I had suspected all alone, Rosalie was a proud person who hated to concede or speak of her shortcomings. It was difficult for her to carry on and I wasn’t a cruel person to let her hanging there when I knew what she was going to say.

“I know Rose, don’t worry about it. I understand but I don’t know if I can help you, I can try but I can’t make any promises” If Rosalie was beautiful before now there were no words to describe how breathtaking she was when joy replace anger in her face. She glowed like an angel and I smiled widely at that, I maybe part angel but I certainly don’t have the appearance.

“Thank you, it means everything to me” Her tone was sincere and I was overwhelmed by it, I was sure that if she could cry she would have been crying happy tears.

“No need to thank me, anyone would have done it” I shrugged taking it importance, I didn’t want her to hate me again if it didn’t work. What would I do then? “You have to keep in mind I can only try, there are no guarantees here” She nodded in understanding, she knew the risk for she was not an insensible person but that didn’t take away the fact that for the first time in god knows how long she has at least a chance, something to hang on. Emmett stood up, run vampire speed to my side and bear hugged me till I was struggling for air. “Em, can’t breathe”

“Sorry” He said it sheepishly a bit ashamed, then he smiled widely at me mouthing the word ‘thanks’ and I replied by mouthing ‘no problem’. Of course he laughed completely happy, I knew it was not that important to him to have kids but it meant the world to him to give Rosalie everything she had always dreamed of.

“I must know Bella, hope you forgive my curious self but what part of you can do that?” Carlisle was staring at me like a child at a toy store, I guess that is what it must feel for a scientist when he meets me. He may be a doctor but he had the heart of a researcher, new information is something he craved.

I was about to answer when Edward grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers, he was looking directly into my eyes, a sweet smile playing on his lips as my breath caught in my throat at the mesmerizing sight he was. Without moving an inch he replied to the question as if it was no big deal.

“Let’s just say she’s my little angel” His velvet voice sounded tender than usual, my face burned as a result of his words and ducked my head. I could feel their gazes on me, it was a strange sensation cause generally when someone stared at me this way I would feel daggers and burning fire, here I just felt amazement and wonder.

“Awwww! Now you do know angels can’t fight! They are suppose to be all peace and love, not to worry people luckily I’m still here” I raised my face to glowered at Emmett, he must be really crazy if he truly believed he has even a tiny remote possibility of winning. I do this for a living, this is my job and he dares to say not only that I’m not capable of doing it but that he would do it! I hissed at him, he responded with a smug grinned and all I wanted was to wipe it off his face. “Oh! I’m so scared. Someone please help me, the sweet weak little angel is gonna hurt me!” He pretended to shriek like a small girl again and his false feared make me want to really scare him. Then just like that I had a brilliant idea, I would show him differently, I needed to be patient and put up with him for now two days. Then will see who was laughing. A smirk crept to my lips, Alice burst out laughing when she saw what I was gonna do. Everyone turned to look quizzically at Ally, I raised a finger to my lips telling her to keep it a secret and she winked at me. Ok, one down, one more to go. I pouted, putting my best puppy dog face for Edward, he chuckled under his breath and placed a quick soft kiss on my lips. He pulled away nodding, I beamed at him. Oh Emmett, you just messed with the wrong person.

“Emmett that’s enough” Esme chided gently at him, he would always be like a big child and I bet everyone has their hands full with him. Maybe Rose loved him because he was not only her lover but the child she could never have, who knows? Maybe is that they are both essentially shallow even as they are strong and caring, I’ll just have to ask about the subject in a more appropriate time.

“Yeah guys, stop it. There is a more urgent matter to attend” Jasper was talking quickly and desperately, it was clear that his priority was to find whoever did that to Alice and make him pay. To be totally honest I had already forgotten about the matter but I knew this was something that they would not let go.

“Jazz” Alice hugged him, trying to sooth him. It was not working, he was still fuming and if she couldn’t make him forget about the matter then no one I the world could. A little magic here or there would do the trick but it was not fair to use my powers at my convenience especially with them who I wanted to spend all my time with.

“No Alice, don’t Jazz me this is serious. Someone put a spell on you and they have to get the message that no one messes with our family and most of all that no one touches my mate” His voice was furious, filled with conviction as he made his statement. We all fell into an awkward silence, the vampires lost in thought. I on the other had was hyper aware of the whole room, every shift of weight or movement caught by my eyes. I knew trying to figure out who had done it was a waste of time, whoever did it was very good cause there was not one clue left behind, not a trace of evidence to point us in the right direction. This shorten the list but it remain being an extremely long list, it would take years to rule the innocents out and find the one we were searching for if we ever do.

“Who did this Bella?” I focused on Carlisle, I knew from his face that the decision was made and that they would do anything to find the one to blame. I gave him an apologetic gazed before trying to explain to them that is what nearly impossible for us to find the one responsible.

“That would be me” Oh! No, no, no ,no. Please let that sultry familiar voice just be part of my imagination. I raised my eyes and sure enough he was leaning against the stairs in a carefree manner with a glorious smile plastered on his face. “Hello Bella” I glared at him menacingly, why now?

“I should have guess it was you”.





So, what do you think?
