Chapter 1

~Phone conversation~

(BPOV)

I entered the room clinging to Edward. Edward was safe, Edward wouldn't allow anyone to hurt me.

"So Bella is alive after all." A black-haired Vampire on thedias called out.

"No law was broken, remain secret to humans, let us leave, please." Edward bit out angrily. "Aro, please she is not threat to us. He growled at the leader's thoughts.

"And her status?" a blonde sitting on a throne demanded. "She is human. Death or Change!" He ordered angrly. My eyes were drawn to him nad his face showed contrmpt before meeting my eyes. His eyes widened before moving to Aro's side.

"Ciaus?" Aro asked bewildered at his brother's cation. He took ciaus's hand and gasped, "She is to be changed at a later date. You have 4 years." Aro declaired. "At that time present yourself to us or we will kill you." He added Edward nodded and turned to leave.
"Thank you for com-" The brown haired bother began before meeting my eyes. "She stays!" He snarled suddenly. Edwad jerked me towards him and a loud snap filled the room. I let out a shreik of pain at his action. My arm hung limply at my side. before stone arms were around me.

"I'm calling Carlisle." Alice said pone already dialing.

~Alice is something wrong?~

~We need you in Voltarra~ She answered.

~gibe me five minutes.~ He answered hanging up on her.

"They will be here in 4 1/2 minutes." She told them with a small smile on her face. the time passed quickly and when the res to fo the Cullens arrived I looked at Carlisle and gave a grin.

"Dr. Cullen, My left uper arm is broken." I tell him a small laugh in my tone. He was by my side before I could blink. He shook his head at me and I could tell what he wanted to know. "Last time I was you my left arme was hurt too." I reminded him making him smile lightly. "Oh, and Jasper?" I called out to the empahth. He looked at me, fear in his eyes. "Never blamed you." His relief was projected through the air.

"Thank you, Bella." He said a smile on his face.

"Bella do you like this shirt?" Carlisle asked suddenly.

"It's a shirt, Carlisle." I answered dryly. He grinned and looked at the vampire holding me.

"Marcus, I can't help her with you holding her arms against her sides." He told the brown haired king. The arms released me so suddenly I started to flall backwards without the support. Carlisle grabbed my waist and steadied me. He chuckled and I couldn't help my grin. He suddenly ripped the sleeves off of my shirt and began setting my arm carefuly. Once that was done he pulled 3 cast materials out. "Blue Pink or purple?" He asked me retorically.

"Purple as you arleady know." I answered raiasing an eyebrow.

"You've lost weight and haven't been sleeping." He accused me.

"Depression does that to a person." I answer sharply. His head snapped up and his face showed his confusion.

"Why were you depressed?" he asked cautiously. My head snapped towards Edward, my expression full of disbeief.

"They don't know do they Edward?" I shout at him.

"Know what?" Esme asked worry filling her tone.

"How did he convince you to leave?" I demande dlooking at them.

"He told us you wanted nothing to do with us." Alice answered. I snort at the pradictable answer.

"He lead me out into the forest and told me I was a distratcion unworthy of his time. I will make it as if I never existed." I quoted to them. "He ran off leaving me, ALONE, knowing I would try to follow an sit was nearly dark outside." I inform them the hole in myh echest bakc and aching;. Jasper dropped to his knees, feeling my pain. "He blocked any chance of me contacting you and took everything I had of you or from you." I say feeling the hole depen and become raw. Jasper was panting in pain, and wondering how I could still stand. Every Vampire was staring at me in shock. "I got no goodbyes, from any of you." I accused argily. the entire Cullen clan glared at Edward in anger. the kings were ready to shread him on my behalf.

"We had no clue Bella. I am so sorry." Carlisle says from beside me. I then notice Jasper, still feeling all my pain, and take a deep breath. He looks at me as he feels my emotions disappear.

"Sorry Jasper." I whisper knowing he could hear me.

"I understand, Bella, I wouln't wish that on anyone." He answered simply.

"I know." I say gently.

"We better bet you home before your dad calls out the army." Emmitt says with a goofy face, trying to lighten the mood.

"She is staying." Marcus says sharply, his tone colored with possession and love.
"I have to go back. My father will worry and I have 5 months before I graduate High School!" I complain. "I can come back after that, but I won't abandon my father!." I promise turning towards the king insisting I remain. Our eyes met again and the rush of joy that I felt before came back.

"I will go tith you then." He decided. "I won't allow my mate to go out of he palace without me." He informed his brothers. "Felix, Alec, get ready to come with me." He called ot his guard. They both bowed and left the room.

"Demitri, Jane, Afton, Retina, ready yourselves as well. " Aro stated. "Ciaus and I will join you, Brother. Chelsea,get Sulpic, Anthadora, and Dyatime, they are to hold dowm the castle." He added naming the former companions to himself and his brothers.

"The jet is ready, Master Marcus." Felix said entering the room.

"YOu called us, Aro?" A woman with Aro's looksasked.

"Sister, we are going out for a while you three know what to do." Aro answered his twin. SHe smiled and waived goodbye. Aro then led us to the private jet and we spent the next 12 hours on the plane flying to Port Angles. I slept with my head on Marcus's shoulder adn a fleece blanket covering me. I was woken by Alice when we landed. "Where to Bella?" Aro asked me, a gentle smile on his face.

"Forks. I need to call Charlie." I say pulling out my pone and turning it on. "17 texts and 45 calls?" I say bewildered. I call my voicemail and wince when I hear my dad's voice.

~Bells, Harry's dead, I amstaying with Sue for the weekend.

~Isabella Marie Swan, wha aren't you home? Jake is worried about you.~ He says yelling at me on my voicemail.

~Bella, when you return we need to speak to you. Come to Emily's please.~ Sam told my voicemail.

~Bells, Jake wants totalk to you ANSWER YOUR PHONE!~ Charlie shouts.

~Bella when you get this come over. We don't care if you have their company.~Sam ordered. I hung up and called Emily.

~Bella!, Good God, we thought you were dead.~ Emily cried into the phone.

~Emily, I am coming, get Charlie adn the pack~ I say then looking at the Voltorri. ~I am bringing the Kings with me, they won't harm anyone.~ I promised her before hanging up. "The pack are shape-shifters that take wolf form. They have been protecting me since the Cullens left Forks." I tell the three Kings. Marcus nodds and spoke for all of them.

"No harm shall come to them." He promised me, getting a bright smile from me.
"Thank you, don't be shocked if soem of them phase when seeing you, they are protectors of humans." I informed them.

"Thank you for the warning." Aro says. "How do you want us to get to this Emily's place?" He asked his face showing confusion at my grin. I dialed another number instead of answering.

~Potr Angels, Fetch me please.~ I say before hanging up. "How long Alice?"

"2 Min." She answered. After they had passed a howl was heard from the woods. I walked towards it nad just in the treeline found my resset-fur covered best friend.

"Jake, I missed you." I say climbing on his back. "These are the Vampire Kings. Aro, Ciaus, and Marcus. With them is their guards. Come on let's go. I say before he starts running back to La Push. Upon reaching the treaty line the rest of the pack was waiting. "Their with me." I say as we breezed past them, vampires and all. When we stopped i could see Charlie's car parked infront of Emily's house.

"Who called the police?" Aro asked glaring at the car.

"Tecnically I did." I answered getting a look of confusion. "No cop killing." I said to them as I slid off of Jake, who moved back into the trees to phase human. He came out in a tank top and jean shorts. "Hey Jake, thanks for the warm run." I tell him with agrin. He snorted before letting out the traditional yelp to Emily who came running out.

"Bella!" She yelled running to me. Hearing my name Charlie exited the ouse at a dead run as well. I was quickly wrapped into his arms in a tight hug. No words were spoken but tears ran down both of our faces. When he let go Emily gave me a quick hug as well.

"Long time no see, Emily." I say getting a small grin from her. Marcus moved to my side and growled at the two male scents on me. He removed his cloak and placed it on my shoulders. "Thanks Marcus." I say to him feeling a little cold. The pack then joined us all in human form.

"What is going on here?" Charlie demanded.

"Dad, don't yell." I say quietly. "Emily can we go inside?" I asked my friend. She nodded and led us into the house. "Hi Billy." I say to the wheelchair bound man.

"Explain." Charlie demanded. I sigh and look at Marcus. He nods as do his brothers.

"Dad, Emily, Billy, Pack, this is Aro, Ciaus, and Marcus. They are the rulers of Vampires." I say.

"Don't lie to me Isabella." Charly snaps at me.

"She isn't." Marcus growls at my father.

"Vampires don't exist." Charlie shot back at us. Suddenly a flash of red hair went past me and Victoria could be seen holding my dad by his throat.

"Victoria, let my father go!" I shout gaining her attention. She released Charlie adn launched herself at me. "Sam, Jake, get the human's out of here." I say as Marcus, Aro and Ciaus catch Victoria bfore she can attack me.

"She is the reason my mate is dead!" Victiora snaps at her Kings.

"She is my mate." Marcus growls angrly. "Felix, ALex, Take her outside." He orders his guards. They comply instantly.

"It appears we have a trial to enforce." Aro says lightly.

"Indeed, brother." Ciaus answers looking bloodthirsty. We all go outside and find her attacking Alec and Felix. A growl fills the air and I see Jake has just phased.

"Felix, Jump!" I call outas Jke barrels towards the trio. Felix doesn't hesitate to obey and Jake runs rught through the spot he had been standing not a second before. Jake bits Victoria's neck and tears her head off causing her to to collapse to the ground and Felix and Alec shread her body before uplling out a lighter and setting her on fire. They then move back to the King's sides.

"Master Marcus, the danger to your mate is no more." Alec says with a bow. Marcus nods and looks at me lovingly. Emily gose inside and comes out with a pair of cut-off jeans for Jake who takes them into the woods and returns to human form.

"Any questions Dad?" I ask slightly sarcasticly.

"Any more surprises?" He asked looking pale.

"Cullens are Vampires." I deadpanned, at this news Charlie faints. "Guess he isn't as goo with the 'wierd'" I snicker getting most of the wolves to laugh. "Lets get him inside before he freezes." I say as I shake my head. "Felix please carry my father inside." I ask the strongest Voltori member. He picks Charlie up and carries him inside Emily's house once more, laying him on the couch.
