CHAPTER FOUR

BPOV

Sorry it's been so long! I had writers block but don't worry the story is back!

"Alice, no offense but why do I have to wear this, it isn't really, you know, me." I said looking at my reflection in Alice's full length mirror.

She had managed to get me into a baseball uniform, all blue, a color I hardly ever wore, she had gotten my hair into a curly ponytail and up into a hat.

"Bella, be quiet you look adorable! Blue is definitely your color, and I will warn you now, next time we go shopping I will be buying you plenty of blue clothing." I opened my mouth to protest but she stopped me, "Don't try and argue with me here Bella, I will be buying you blue and you will wear it and like it. Got it?" I nodded my head; this little pixie could definitely be scary when she wanted to.

My agreement had brought her happy mood back, "Oh Bella I'm so excited that you are here, and you and Edward are finally together, after all these years! It's so romantic!" She was practically bouncing off the walls as she talked. I laughed, and nodded. She wandered to the closet and pulled out a belt.

"Let's just go." I said walking out the door before she decided adding on.

We walked down the steps and Edwards smile instantly lightened my mood. Carlisle looked at us questioningly before turning to Alice.

"Didn't you hear? They are together now." She said happily, making both Edward and my eyes grow wide.

"Oh it isn't like it's a big secret, you two are crazy about each other, any one can see that." Edward smiled and shrugged.

"Secrets out, I guess." He said coming closer to me and taking my hand, I smiled; finally everything seemed to be going perfectly.

(A/N Of course we all know that can't last!)

We got the fields; the storm had started in forks so it was a perfect time for us to play baseball. Alice, Emmett, and Jasper were on my team. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Edward were on the other. We went a few innings before Alice froze mid pitch. "Uh oh." She said causing everyone to instantly alert.

EPOV

Alice stopped suddenly, "Uh oh." I heard her mumble, I quickly ran through her thoughts and saw what was wrong, three vampires were coming. We came together quickly.

"What's happening?" Bella asked.

"We have visitors." I told her just as the three crimson eyed vampires stepped into the field. Two males and a female. One male was tale with coffee colored skin, the other a little shorter with blonde long hair. The female was tall too with fiery red hair. Just by reading their thought I knew the blond man was crazy. I instinctively stepped in front of Bella, wanting to protect her.

"Hello." Carlisle said, calmly.

"We heard you playing, we wondered if you could use three more." The dark one said. Carlisle hesitated so the man continued continued.

"Oh how rude of me, I am Laurent, this is Victoria, and James." I heard Bella make a small whimpering noise at James' name. I turned to look at her but she shrugged closer to me.

Carlisle, being polite introduced us, "I'm Carlisle, this is my wife Esme and our children Rosalie and Emmett. Jasper and Alice. And Edward and Bella Swan, our newest addition." At the sound of Bella's name James growled. Causing the rest of us to do so as well.

BPOV

James recognized me, I knew it. I stepped forward after her heard my name, "James," I said, trying not to make my voice shake.

"Isabella" He snarled, getting a wicked smile on his face. I grimaced, I couldn't bear looking at him. I could tell with the smile he wore that he was remembering our last encounter; I heard Edward gasp then growl loudly behind me.

Flashback 1943

"Isabella, meet our guest, James Frowson." Aro said kindly. He gave me an adoring smile, I was loved here despite my odd diet.

"Pleasure to meet you sir." I said shaking hands with the blonde man. He was attractive in a unique kind of way, nothing like my Edward that was for sure. I grimaced at the painful thought of the only man I would ever truly love, the man that lie dead in the ground.

"Pleasure is all mine," HE said in a wannabe seductive voice. IT took all that I had not to roll my eyes.

FOUR DAYS LATER

"Miss Isabella." I inwardly winced, James had found me. I had been desperately trying to avoid him. The past four days had been nothing but his attempt to flirt with me.

"Please if you wouldn't mind coming with me, I have something I would like to discuss with you." He said. Not wanting to be rude I reluctantly agreed and followed him down the hall.

He led me to his room and I, being the idiot, followed him in. He closed the door and locked it then turned to me.

"Isabella," He sighed, "I will get straight to the point, I will be leaving soon, traveling the world. I would like to know if you would want to come along with me, as my wife." My eyes grew wide, could this man not take a hint.

"James, that is very sweet of you but, I'm sorry I must decline." I saw anger flash in his face. Suddenly his entire mood changed he seemed violent and mean.

"Isabella, for days now I have attempted to get close to you, yet you are very rude, trying to avoid me and what not. And always looking disgusted." He came closer now, he was starting to frighten me.

"That's just not polite especially for a lady such as yourself." He stepped closer, "You know, you are beautiful, you would make a gorgeous wife." I stepped back but he grabbed my arms.

"No, no Isabella. We tried to play your way. Now we are going to play my way." His smile was evil as he smashed his lips to mine. I tried to pull away but even as a vampire I was too weak to get away from him. He was much stronger than I was so I had no way of escaping.

He ripped my dress right off of me and threw me roughly onto the bed. "James stop!" I said, but it was as if he couldn't even hear me. He had a crazed look in his eye as he raped me, taking away the only innocence I had left.

After I finally managed to escape, I ran to Aro telling him what happened. He was furious but when he went to find James he discovered that he had already left. No one knew where he had gone. From then on Aro didn't let any man very close to me. And he gave me guards as well.

That was why when I told him I wanted to go to Edward he had been so hesitant.

End Flashback

I shuddered at the thought; I knew James hated me now because Aro was out to get him, and if he was ever found he would surely be out to death. Edward was in full on attack mode now. Alice was close behind him. "Edward don't he isn't worth it." I told him quietly.

"What Isabella, you know our night was magical. I loved the thought of me being your first at everything." I growled now, as did every Cullen and Victoria who was glaring at me.

"I suggest you all leave now." Carlisle said harshly. Laurent didn't protest slowly he and the others backed back into the woods. "He'll be back." Edward and I both said.

"Let's go home," Carlisle said leading us back to the cars.

When we got home Edward and I sat on the couch just staring at each other for a while. "I thought you said you never kissed anyone before." He said finally, trying to lighten the mood or something.

"I did say that yes. I lied, sort of. I really didn't kiss him, he just kissed me." Edward's eyes turned dark.

"Family meeting in the dining room." Carlisle said, we all got up and met him in there.

"This has to be handled somehow." Carlisle said.

"Yeah we can't have that sick bastard coming after our Bellsy." Emmett said.

"What are we going to do then?" Alice asked.

"I agree with Jasper." Edward said suddenly. Jasper smiled.

"I thought you would." He said.

"Edward, I don't think Carlisle will approve of that, though the man deserves every bit of it." Alice said staring off into space.

"Wait, wait, what was Jasper's plan guys? Come on that is fair."

"He suggested that we kill James." Alice said nonchalantly.

"Slowly so that he will fell it." Edward added.

"Good plan." Emmett said, just as Carlisle said, "Not happening." Everyone started talking then.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" Rosalie yelled, everyone went quiet and stared at her. She looked directly into my eyes as she said, "I think we should let Bella here decide what happens." Her voice was strong but I could see in her eyes that she had something happen to her close to what happened to me. 'Thank you' I mouthed, she simply nodded.

"I agree." Said Esme.

"Well okay then. Bella what would you like to do?" Carlisle asked.

"I think we can fix this without us having to do anything ourselves."

"What do you mean Bella?" Alice and Edward both asked.

I pulled out my cell phone, "I'm going to call Aro, and get him to take care of it."

"Bella, do you think Aro would really do something about this?" Emmeett asked curiously.

"You underestimate my importance there, Emmett. Aro was furious, he told me if I ever saw James then I was to tell him right away and he would make sure he died."

"Do it then." Carlisle said encouragingly.

I dialed Aro's number, "Hello?" A woman said.

"The is Bella I need to speak with Aro immediately." A few seconds later I heard his voice.

(Aro, Bella)

Hello?

Aro!?

Isabella, dear how are you. Did you find the Cullens?

I did yes and I found Edward, as well. I was right it was the right Edward.

They are all treating you well aren't they?

Oh yes of course. I am so happy to be here. And to be reunited with Edward. Well it's an amazing feeling that all I can say.

I am very delighted to hear that dear. So have you called simply to check up, or was there another reason?

Actually there is another reason, sort of a problem and I need your help.

Well of course I will help you child, tell me what is going on.

Well today the Cullens and I went to a field to play baseball and James showed up along with two others, Laurent and Victoria.

JAMES?! Bella tell me exactly where you saw him and which direction he headed, I will have my best trackers out to find him.

We were in a field just west of forks he went into the trees. But Aro I am afraid he is going to try and come to me again. I don't want him endangering the Cullens.

Don't worry dear Bella I will come there personally, along with the trackers. That man will not be alive much longer. Not after what he has done to you.

Thank you so much Aro.

Anything for you my child. I will stop for a visit as well, if that is acceptable.

Of course, just no hunting around Forks.

Of course, I will see you soon. Good bye.

Bye Aro.

I hung up the phone and looked at the faces around me. "He and some trackers are coming. He will stop for a visit too. I hope that is okay."

"Of course," Esme said.

"Wow Bella. Aro is coming too. You must be very important." Alice said.

"Aro was like a sort of father to me. I was like his daughter." I said as if it explained it all.

Everyone cleared the dinging room the, Edward and I stood but remained in the dining room.

"Bella, I am so sorry for what James did." He said pulling me into a hug.

"Don't worry, it was a long time ago. I am with you now that's all that matters."

"Well I still want to kill the man, just saying." Edward said, smiling a little.

"Right there with you brother~" Emmett yelled, "Nobody messes with my little sister!"

"Yeah!" Jasper yelled, I heard them high five followed by two thunks, which I knew was Alice and Rosalie hitting them in the head. That was followed by two sets of 'ows' and Alice and Rosalie laughing.

"Really," I told Edward, ignoring the two brothers, "I'm okay." I said, and he pulled me into another hug.

The memories had come flooding back when I was in the field, I remembered how after that happened I hadn't really let many people near me. I was traumatized. And now with all the memorie replaying, I wondered if what I had said was really true or if I was lying to Edward and myself.

I mean I knew I wasn't afraid of Edward, I loved him, but I was a little shaken up seeing James again. Having Edward's arms around me seemed to calm me though. And they made me think everything would be okay.

I guess we'll find out when Aro gets here
