Disclaimer- I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT!!!! :'(
But i do own Grandma! She's my character ! yay :)
I own somone! I feel powerful ! :)

PREVIOUSLY........

"I usually just....go loopy. Dance around, sing, laugh a lot!" I smiled.

Emmett turned back to Esme. "Please?" He pulled the puppy dog eyes and i could see Esme's resolve crumbling.

"Please mom?" Was all he had to say before she gave in.

So, i now have a scheduled drinking date with the Cullen's, which will be strange since they don't drink. This is going to be the best holiday EVER!

NOW........

No! Definitely not! It's out of the question!

I huffed noisily, frowning and glaring angrily at nothing in particular. The Cullen's all looked up from what they were doing, curious at my sudden outburst.

Carlisle and Esme were reading books, turning a page every fifteen seconds or so because of how fast they read. Jasper and Emmett where locked in, what looks like a very complicated chess game. There was three boards attached to each other, with four times as many pieces. I don't know how to play normal chess, never mind this one. Alice sat smirking behind Jasper, twiddling with his hair, already knowing the outcome of the match. Rose sat flipping through the seemingly unending television channels.

Edward was currently laid on the sofa, his arm wrapped around my waist, crushing me to his chest. I wasn't complaining. He alternated between twiddling with my hair and sniffing it. Apparently he "like my new scent", as he put it. The entire room had been silent, apart from my breathing and heartbeat, and the occasional page turn or chess piece hitting the board. It was peaceful, something i had missed recently.

I was just thinking about what drinks i could get for this little "date" i have with the Cullen's. It was then that my gran seemed to step in and "put her foot down". Edwards hand froze momentarily in my hair.

"What's up?" He asked, distracted obvious in his voice.

"My gran is so going to ruin my little "date"!" I pouted. Edward remained silent. I knew he didn't like the idea of me being "intoxicated" as he put it, but he was wise enough not to patronize me and try to control me like he used to.

"What?! NO! It's going to be so much fun!" Emmett yelled, looking like someone shot his dog or something.

See, that is what i am talking about! They are so immature, they couldn't possibly take care of you! She said in that superior voice that supossedly "ended the conversation". Not with me it didn't.

Please! That's just Emmett, and if you remember correctly, he helped save me from James. Carlisle is a doctor, Jasper can keep me in check if i get too out of hand, and do you think any of them will let me get hurt? I asked. The silence said it all.

"So...what's going on? You're just frowning a lot at the moment" Rose said, dropping the remote on the sofa cushion.

I sighed. "I'm trying to get my gran to approve of this...meeting"

"Why is she against it?" Esme asked in a motherly tone. They really didn't get the whole drunk problem, seen as they can't remember it themselves. Once again i sighed, sitting up from my laid down position.

"She was listening to what we said, and said you were too immature that you couldn't possibly take care of me" I rolled my eyes.

"I told her that, that was just how Em was, and that he helped save my ass from James. I said that Carlisle is a doctor and Jasper can keep me in check if i get too.....out of hand" I smiled, turning to Jasper.

"Have you ever been around a drunk person before Jazz?" I asked, quirking an eyebrow as he tried to remember. He shook his head.

"Boy, are you going to have fun" He nodded, chuckling at my enthusiasm to get drunk. Edward poked me in the ribs to get my attention.

"You know this...connection we have? Will i be able to feel it too?" He looked quite...scared. I laughed, because he was right.

"Well, see it like this. You missed this as a human, so i am giving it back to you" He smirked as he rolled his eyes.

See, i will be fine I thought. The silence on the other end unnerved me for a second.

I'm coming to see you. Now. She thought rather hurriedly.

Now?! Why?! Do you even know where i am? I asked a lot of questions didn't i? There i go again!

I'm a fully matured witch Bella, i think i know my way around little old Scunthorpe. But do me a favour..... She trailed off, and i sensed some hesitation from her.

I stood up from the sofa, waiting for her to continue.

Go outside please I barely heard the request, she said it so quietly.

Why? Why do i have to go outside?

Because i am not comfortable materialising in front of a room of seven vampires. I know you trust them, but i don't. Not yet

I grumbled, huffing again and crossing my arms.

"Fine" I said out loud, knowing she could hear me as well. I turned to the very confused vampires in the room, all watching every move i made.

"My gran wants to talk to me outside. Do you mind......." I trailed off.

"Of course, go ahead" Carlisle said, though i am sure he just wanted to see another witch.

I nodded my thanks as i walked out of the room and into the reception area, opened the front door and closed it again. To be honest, i missed my gran. We had a connection, a strong one, and though it didn't hurt to be away from her like it did Edward, i still wanted to hug her again.

I'll be there in a minute okay?

I didn't reply, but walked down the steps and sat on the front lawn. It was an oddly sunny day today, so i had to make the most of it. I smiled as i felt the sun heat up my face. I laid like that for a while, until i felt the air shift, signifying the use of magic near by. My smile grew even bigger as i sat up. I looked to the trees where she would come out of in three...two....one....there you go.

"Bella!" She exclaimed, her face relaxing visibly, but i saw her shoulders where still tense. Right, vampires.

I ran up to her, only a blur, as she walked out of the shadows of the trees. She was surprised when i wrapped my arms around her, but returned it with strength no-one would believe a woman her physical age could have. After a few moments, she pulled away, she worried face on again. I sighed, she was worse than Ren- I stopped that thought. They disowned me, I aren't their daughter, and they aren't my parents.

"Are you okay? I couldn't see anything! I thought you had-" She stopped, taking a deep breath, still flapping her hands around manically.

"I'm fine. My powers went down because i panicked and was scared. As soon as they came back, i healed. Good as new" I smiled reassuringly.

"Anything could have happened Bella, anything! I shouldn't have let you go, i knew they where going to do something....." I knew she was referring to my parents.

I fidgeted nervously with my trousers. Her head suddenly shot up as she looked at me. "Oh Bella, i am so sorry. If i had known i would have never let you go to London! I can't believe what they did! And my ex son-in-law as well!" She shook her head sadly. "What happened to Charlie? He used to be such a nice man" She sighed.

"He is a nice man, he just had enough of his rebellious daughter ruining everything" I said sadly, tears springing in my eyes.

"No Bella, you didn't do anything" She took my hands in hers like she always does when she is telling me something important. But...i did. I wasn't exactly nice, or helpful, or anything like his daughter.

"It doesn't matter Bella!" She said almost angrily. "Parent's love is supposed to be unconditional! It doesn't matter what you said or did, nothing, NOTHING, could condone what they did to you!" She shouted, though i know her anger wasn't directed at me. I pulled on her hand, forcing her to sit on the ground like we usually do when talking like this.

I couldn't help my mind jumping to Carlisle and Esme. They had accepted me, even though i was supposed to be their enemy. Is that unconditional love to the extreme? When you are supposed to kill one another, but love each other instead? Compared to my real parents, Carlisle and Esme where saints, angels.

"Bella" She took a deep breath. "Tell me everything that happened. Leave nothing out" I sighed.

I conjured up the memory, projecting it into her mind. As a second thought, i extended it to include the Cullen's as well. They deserved to know what was going on.

I watched as grans eyes glazed over. About a second later, i heard gasps from the house, meaning that the memory was playing through. I closed my eyes, letting the memory take over.

Why does everything look so much worse when you see it a second time? Before, i thought it was just a little argument. It wasn't exactly the first time we yelled at each other. But....it seemed so much harsher and mean. The look in Charlies eye when he said i wasn't his daughter anymore, the set of Renee's jaw as he called me a bitch. I expected her to come to my rescue and tell Charlie to back off, but she didn't. I wasn't surprised.

I carried on with the memory, letting them see what happened on the tube with the man. I heard several growls from the house, but my gran was oblivious. I wasn't even sure she knew they were there yet.

I ended the memory, unable to keep the tears at bay any longer. Seeing it a second time didn't help really. They hate me, they don't even want me as a daughter. I have no parents.

"Bella" I was unaware of how i got into Grans lap, or how long ago, but i didn't care. I really did have to stop zoning out though.

We stayed silent, well, i was crying, so not so quietly. I listened to my grans thoughts and froze.

I knew she had done something like this! Then she had the cheek to phone me up and-

"She phoned you? When? Why? What did she say?" I asked, sitting up and looking into my grans eyes. My heart sunk. She wasn't looking at me, this wasn't good.

"After they kicked you out. Renee called, telling me that i had poisoned you against them. She said that-" She glanced at me nervously.

"That they wanted nothing more to do with you. They are sending all of your stuff over to England. They said that you can't go back to them when the Cullen's break your heart again and that-" She gulped and i resisted the urge to shake her.

"That they never want to see or hear from you ever again. Tha- that you are dead to them" She whispered, hugging me tighter.

I didn't want to. It felt wrong. I pushed everyone away, i destroyed every relationship i ever had, and then i expect them to just go back to normal? How blind could i have been? My own parents don't want me! My friends deserted me. And it is all my fault.

I got out of her lap and stood up, backing away from her, shaking as i sobbed. You are dead to them. Those words kept going round and round in my head.

"Bella, this isn't your fault!" I hated the pity i saw in her eyes. I didn't need pity, i needed a padded room. I was close to loosing it, the look on grans face told me she knew it as well. It wasn't just anger that made the magic escape. If i didn't get a grip, i could loose control.

I closed my eyes, trying to get control of my own body but all i could see was Charlie yelling at me. I could hear every word he said, every insult and threat. It wasn't helping at all. I heard a click and a gasp before i felt cold. A nice cold. I could feel his hard chest as he hugged me close, letting me use his presence to gain control again. I wrapped my arms around his waist and sobbed into his chest.

"You do have friends Bella. What about Lauren? Becky? Sarah? Jess? Paige? And you do have a family. What about your gran? What about us? Bella, you are never alone. We will always be here, all of us. This is not your fault" I hugged him tighter, willing his words to be true.

I felt the magic retreat as i calmed down again.

"Just wait till i get my hands on them......" He trailed off angrily.

"Who?" Which ones?

"All of them! Jess, Mike, Angela! Charlie, Renee!" Edward yelled angrily.

"It's not their fault. I wasn't exactly the nicest person to be around" I hugged him tighter, wanting to calm him down. I could fee his anger and frustration and.....self hatred. No. He couldn't hate himself!

"It's my fault. All of this. If i had just never left, everything would be fine" He sounded so far away, so distant. My anger flared up again.

I poked him rather hard in his side, jolting him out of his reverie. "STOP BLAMING YOURSELF! YOU DIDN'T MAKE ME DEPRESSED OR SUICIDAL! THAT WAS MY CHOICE! SO STOP BLAMING YOURSELF!" I screamed at him, glaring at him as i stepped out of his arms. I felt his shock and confusion.

We stayed silent for a second. "Bella-" He pleaded but i cut him off.

"Are you still hate yourself?" I seethed. I knew the answer, i just wanted him to tell me.

"Yes" he hung his head.

"Then talk to me when you are not" I said, turning around and walking back to my gran, still sat on the grass.

I heard him sigh and his footsteps as he walked back into the house and closed the door. I took a deep breath before laying back down on the floor, facing my gob smacked gran.

Maybe a little tough love would knock some sense into him. I am just sick of people suffering because of what i did. Why does everyone always blame themselves for what happens to me? It was my choice to drive that car into the sea, my choice to skip school. No-one forced me. So why do they still blame themselves.

"Because they want to take some of the blame off you" My gran said gently, reminding me of her presence.

"Not when they take full blame" They all did it to some extent. Rose because of her past bitchy-ness, Emmett because he was supposed to protect me, Alice because she was supposed to see if anything was wrong, Jasper because if he had never lost control none of this would have happened. Carlisle because he was the leader and agreed that it was the best thing to do, and Esme because she felt like she was loosing another child that she should be protecting.

What did i do to deserve such an amazing family? They accepted the fact that i was their enemy when my own parents couldn't accept me for me. What does that tell you about the Cullens? That they ROCK!

"Bella.....They are vampires. You can't change that" My gran sighed, hearing my thoughts.

"I know. I don't want to change that, so stay out of my head" I added playfully, happy when she laughed with me.

"Just...be careful, okay? They hurt you before, they could do it again. I am not saying stay away, because you actually can't, just......." She took a deep breath. "Make sure you can trust them before you give them everything this time"

"Eerrr....gran? You do know that "the vampires" can hear you, right?" I smirked as she froze. Sitting up, i turned to face her.

"Look behind you gran" I said softly, waiting until she turned back around to face the huge Cullen house that looked curiously like the one back in Forks. Her face paled significantly as she gulped, but i couldn't laugh. The things vampires put her through was atrocious, not wonder she was scared.

"Gran, you don't have to be afraid of these vamps. These ones won't hurt you, they are not the Volturi. They have saved me. Even when they should have killed me, they saved me. They are -as weird as this sounds- good vampires" I saw her speculative face, but i could tell she was coming around to the idea.

"But...they are vampires. They kill things!" She let the disgust she feels seep into her voice.

"They can't help that! They didn't ask for this, just like i didn't. They were dealt a hand, and they played it as best they could. Isn't it better to kill animals, than kill humans?" Geez, i sound like a campaign person, but who am i campaigning for?

"They still kill!" She crossed her arms, she was giving in.

"They have to. If they don't......then they get weak" I put a little smile on my face as i spoke. She was silent for a while, so i added in for extra incentive

"They saved my life gran. Last night, if they hadn't arrived when they did, i would be dead right now. Carlisle looked after me while i was human again, they all did. I owe them my life....again" I rolled my eyes as i heard Emmett laugh inside the house.

"Just meet them, then you can judge" I stood up, whipping my bum in case i had any leaves on it. I held out my hand for my gran, but she didn't take it. "Gran" I rolled my eyes "You could single handedly take all of them anyway. And if they hurt you, they will have me to deal with as well, and Edward, because he would never see me hurt. So, you see, they won't do anything. And if they do, we will kick some vampire ass!"

The smiled on her face told me she was going to comply, but i was only certain when she took my hand. She didn't need it, but it wasn't about that. So far, i had trusted her with everything, now it was her time to trust me.

We ran as a blur up to the house, but she hesitated on the second step.

"Anything, i ought to know?" She raised her eye brows. I pondered it for a second.

"Beware of Alice and Emmett, they can get kind of .....over excited. Of course the future thing you get used to. Jasper and Carlisle will be very curious, more curious than usual anyway. Esme will be all welcoming and motherly. Rose and Edward will just be themselves. But...they are vampires, so, i don't know"; I shrugged, and smiled as she patted her hair down, recalling when i did the same thing when i first visited them.

We raced the rest of the way to the steps, but the door was already open, Alice bouncing with a chessire cat grin on her face.

I sighed, let it begin!

"Gran, this is Alice, my best friend" I said, smiling at the bouncing Alice.

"Hey! I'm Alice, but you know that of course! We met on the field at school where you threatened us, but that's okay. I can't believe you are a witch!" She was literally vibrating now, and smiling like the had just seen a sale at Prada. I looked at my gran, worried about how she would be taking this hyper little pixie.

She was smiling. A genuine smile, not forced or anything.

Definitely not what i expected from vampires She chuckled in her mind as well.

"Told you" I said out loud. Alice's smile grew impossibly bigger.

"Come on!" She grabbed my wrist and dragged me inside, me dragging my gran along as well.

All the Cullen's were in a line facing us, all smiling. I glanced at the curtains, not surprised to see they weren't in the perfect position they were in before i walked out of the door. I shook my head at a sheepish Carlisle.

I felt grans hand in mine. She needed my support now, and i knew it. She had been up against vampires before, but never so close to seven that weren't attacking. It left her on edge and nervous. I squeezed her hand reassuringly as i glanced at Edward, simply because i had to. It was like an addiction. I had to be near him, touch him. Besides, i felt bad for yelling at him earlier.

Edwards eyes where fixed on me as he walked forward and took my other hand. We both relaxed as we touched, little sparks jumping in my skin. I could feel his hesitation and squeezed his hand to let him know i felt sorry. He understood and shot me that damned crooked smile that threatened to melt me. I mentally shook myself. I had some introducing to do. I felt Gran tense at he got closer to us.

"Well gran, i think you have already met Edward, and threatened to hunt him down?!" I teased her. A little smile grew on her face as she shrugged.

"Just covering your back for you" She peered at Edward then back at me.

Handsome. Nice choice! She complimented, not showing any indication of what she was thinking on her face. I shook my head again, chuckling a little.

"It's nice to meet you Edward" She said stiffly, and i could tell she was scared, so could Jasper. He was about to use his ability to help the situation, but i glanced at him, and warned him with my eyes. It wouldn't help anyone if gran thought she was being manipulated.

"It's nice to meet you too......" He trailed off questioningly.

"Onalee" Her voice shook a little bit as she squeezed my hand.

Edward smiled at her before returning his eyes back to me.

You've got him wrapped around your little finger you know She smirked at me as i nodded.

"Ugh! Another pair that do it! It's bad enough with Alice and Edward, not you too!" Emmett moaned, stamping his foot like the six foot four toddler he is.

I sighed, rolling my eyes. "And that gran, is Emmett. As you already know, he is a little baby" I teased him, he pouted, looking all insulted.

"I am not a baby! I am older than you! So there! Respect your elders young lady!" He wiggled his finger at me and i couldn't help laughing at him.

"Alright then, old fart"I shrugged. I knew that, in fact, Emmett was the youngest of the vampires in the room. I basically called all the people around me ancient. Nice Bella, very nice.

"I'm sorry for my husband, he has certain problems sometimes" Rose smiled friendly at my gran, motioning to her husband. Gran nodded, not speaking at the moment.

"This is Jasper! He is my husband!"Alice was still bouncing as she held onto Jasper's arm, causing Jasper to bounce as well. He smiled down at his wife before smiling at gran.

"I'm Carlisle, the "father figure" i suppose" He said, looking at his "children" with a smirk. They were all in their own little world with their mates.

"Father?" I was shocked as i heard my gran speak.

"Well, we don't call ourselves a coven, because we feel more like a family in many ways. The animal blood allows us to make real relationships with people other than just mates. It lets us become more civil to people. Esme and i are the parents" He put his arm around Esme's waist, pulling her to his side. I didn't miss the way gran shuddered when he spoke of blood. She was in no way a tree hugger, but she still didn't like the idea of killing animals.

"Hello" Esme said, smiling nicely. This was so weird. My two families coming together. They should be ripping each other apart, but they aren't. They are just talking. Someone pinch me!

"Bella! We would not be ripping each other apart" My gran sighed.

"Yeah you would. If you ever ran into each other before this, it probably would have happened" I said, shrugging.

"Come on gran" I said, sitting down on the huge sofa. Edward on one side, gran on the other.

We settled into easy conversation. I knew Carlisle had burning questions that he was dieing to ask. After about an hour and a half he was bouncing in his seat like Alice. Gran had totally relaxed and was having a conversation with Esme about decorating or something like that.

"For gods sake Carlisle! Just ask the bloody question before you break the chair springs" I smiled as i said it, letting him know i wasn't actually yelling at him. All conversation stopped as we looked at the vibrating form of Carlisle.

"I'm sorry! I just can't believe i am sitting in a room with two witches! Two! I thought you had all died and now here i am having general conversation with them! And i knew one before! This is huge! It's......"Esme rolled her eyes as her husbands behaviour.

"Ugh! Enough excitement please! I have enough with Em and Ali without you too Carlisle!" Jasper moaned, putting his head in his hands.

Gran and i looked at each other, smiling. "Well Carlisle, we are the only two left in existance" I said, leaning back on the sofa, very aware that everyone was staring at us both.

"The only ones in existence?!" Carlisle's sudden change from excited to dejected and sad was mind boggling.

"Yeah"My gran said, tears welling up in her eyes. I put an arm around her, letting her head her head on my shoulder.

"Vampire's really are bastards aren't they?" Emmett asked in a quiet voice.

"Not all, but most" I smiled a little before a thought popped into my head.

"Gran, where's Coralee? If she isn't with you then where is she? Is she okay? What happened to her? Has she run away? What has she done? Oh my god, is she dead?!" Okay, so i was rambling once again, but this was important! I heard a chuckle and grans head move from my shoulder.

"Relax sweetie, Coralee is at home. She is fine. No, she is not dead, she is sleeping. I put safeguards around the house to protect her.... and the house actually. That little thing can really do some damage when she wants to" I smiled, relieved my baby was alright. I missed her though. I wanted to hug her. I couldn't help the sigh or pout the came.

"Fine! God! You don't want much do you?" Gran said, chuckling at me. The Cullen's where all perplexed about what we were talking about. Ha!

It wasn't my fault that i hadn't mastered the summoning spell and transportation spell!

She waved her hand and some red sparks appeared for a few seconds. When she took away her hand, there sat Coralee, on the Cullen's huge wooden floor, looking very confused and tired. I knelt on the floor and scooped her up, sitting back down again with her on my lap.

"A dog?"

"This isn't just a dog Emmett! This dog was made by magic, and is very special to me" I sniffed, causing her to open her eyes at me with that "Leave me the hell alone" look.

"She's so cute!" Was all i heard before Alice and Rose were sat in front of me, stroking her chocolate brown silky fur. Since she is made of magic, we don't know what breed she is, but we think she's immortal. She may even have some powers, which i think is rather amazing!

"You made a dog?" Edward quirked an eyebrow at me, smiling.

"Not on purpose! I was just saying random spells and..... Coralee poofed out of nowhere" I explained, hugging the sleepy dog tighter.

Everyone fawned over the puppy. I mean, she was pretty cute. She had chocolate brown, short curly fur, with a long swishy, bushy tail, huge floppy ears and big brown eyes. She jumped out of my arms after while, bored.

"Don't worry, she's toilet trained" I assured a tense looking Esme.

"Aren't you baby?" I said. She nodded, opening the front door by jumping up and pushing the handle down with her paw and going outside, pulling the door shut as well.

Everyone was silent for a second, shocked. "Can you buy them?" Em asked, actually looking hopeful. I shook my head, making him pout and huff.

I turned back to gran "So..... please can i have my little party?!" I pouted at her, giving her the puppy dog eyes. Her face showed how torn she was.

"I don't know Bella. Getting drunk isn't exactly something i should be encouraging" She pondered.

"But isn't it better that i do it here, under the careful supervision of seven vampires than at some bar where anything could happen?" I was bull shitting, she knew that, but i had a point. It was safer.

"No, i don't. It's not that i don't trust you, i trust all of you, but since... since i am in charge of you now, i say no. I won't let you get drunk" She said sternly. My mouth was wide open, but i was glaring at her.

"I'm afraid you'll have to do the usual teenage thing. Sneak out and then get drunk. What did you expect Bella? You asked me whether you could get drunk or not!" She teased.

"Yeah, well, it's better than just going out and doing it, sneaking around and lying" I pointed out, my arms crossed angrily. I knew she wouldn't change her mind!

Gran examined my neck, despite me telling her that there wasn't even a scar. Once she was positive that i was okay, it was time for Jasper's question.

"Excuse me? But.... i am a little confused" Always the gentleman is Jasper, but i could see his confusion, and it got all of our attention as all conversations stopped.

"Yes Jasper?" My gran was comfortable with talking with them now, not touching, but talking. It was something.

"Well, you say that you two are the only witched left?" We nodded "Well, how do you know that? For sure i mean? Isn't there a chance that some witches are still in hiding?" All eyes turned to us, but me and gran looked at each other sadly.

"We are sure" I said glumly.

"How?" His curiosity had him sitting forward on the edge of his seat.

I sighed "There is a record of every witch. When the witch gene is triggered, their name goes on record straight away, it's one of the ways guardians pick who they teach. But.... the record also shows the level of magic they posses, and... when a witch dies...... her magic disappears totally. It's the only time it does. So....when someone has no magic, they are dead. Gran and i are the only ones with magic" I explained sadly, looking at my lap.

"Isn't there a chance that a gene could be triggered later, like Bella's was. It skipped a generation, could that have happened to others too?" Esme asked quietly, sounding hopeful.

"Though witch hunts are still going, i have been the last witch for many centuries. All witch offspring were killed with the witches, and even those that survived have died. However, even if there were witch descendants, the magic would be too diluted in the blood to be classed as a witch. They wouldn't have powers, they wouldn't go through the change, they would be human. The only reason Bella is so strong is because she is my grand daughter. Any further relatives wouldn't be affected, or very mildly" Gran took over the explanation for me, knowing more about it than me anyway.

There was a pause as they took all this in, but Carlisle was even more curious than before.

"Where is this record?"

Me and gran shared an apprehensive glance. "It's in the library" I said mysteriously, unsure of if i should go any further.

"Library? Like a... library?" Rose asked, looking very confused.

"Not an ordinary library. A.... witch library. It holds every spell and potion book every created. That's where the record is" I said quietly, not meeting their eyes.

"There's a witch library?" Jasper sounded very shocked about this. I looked up, meeting his eyes and nodded.

"Could we......." Carlisle's curiosity went into overdrive and i wasn't sure if we should or not. This was sacred witch history, and vampires were witch enemies.

"I'm not sure-"

"Of course you can" My gran said, without looking at me, i heard her thoughts.

They can't do anything Bella, and you were right. They are good A small smile was the only sign that she was speaking to me.

"Okay, so... how do we get there?" Carlisle's eyes were sparkling with excitement.

I stood up, speaking as i did so "Only witches can go there, that is why it is the only place that is sacred and undamaged by vampires. That is how all our history and magic still remains a mystery to the Volturi, and it will always be that. Only we can take you, and only we can bring you back" I said sternly, looking at them. They all nodded seriously, well, apart from Emmett. I think he was actually incapable of being serious.

"Everyone stand up. You don't want to fall flat on your bum when you transport do you?" My gran said, standing up next to me. The Cullens all stood up, nervous of witchcraft.

"Ready Cullen's?" They all nodded at gran who turned to me "Ready Bella?" I nodded, reciting the spell at the same time as gran.

We were engulfed in red and blue sparks, feeling like we were in a hurricane, being pushed and pulled everywhere. Bad hair day, indeed.

As our feet touched the black marble floor, i heard the Cullen's sigh. The first time was always horrible.

"Wow" I was pulled out of reminicing about my own experiences by Esme's shocked voice. I smirked, realising she was talking about the library. It really was magnificent.

Hundreds of mahogany bookcases, the height of the room stood in front of us, four in one line, each one holding two thousand books. There were no lights, no windows, no-one actually knew where the light came from. The ceiling was marble as well, but white, contrasting nicely with the floor.

"Can i ask something?" I was not surprised when Emmett piped up.

"Why are the book cases so high?" He pointed to the top of the closest one to us.

"Well, there are a lot of books in here Em, we needed some place to keep them. Anyway, height is no problem if you are a witch, you just summon the book you want" I shrugged.

"Cool" He said, gazing back at the book case with a new awe.

"Now, go explore!" I shooed them away and was shocked when they were already gone. I chuckled at their enthusiasm. Only Edward and Carlisle were left, gran having gone to show Em where we kept the records on witch sports.

"So, this is the record?" I turned to see Carlisle with his back to me, facing the huge wall at the front of the library. There was a huge stone plaque on it, reaching all along the wall, all with names, dates and numbers on them.

"Yeah, that's the one" I said sadly, touching one of the names.

"Where's yours?" Edward asked, i smiled, grabbing his hand and walking down the wall, right to the end.

"Since i am the last witch, my name is last as well" I explained as we went. We stopped as we reached the end of the wall, seeing my name- "Isabella Marie Swan".

"Wow" He said, walking forwards as touching my name on the plaque.

"This is when your magic was triggered?" His voice had that edge to it that i didn't like.

"Yeah" I said hesitantly, looking at the back of his head with a frown.

"But... that was the day i left" He bowed his head, his voice a mere whisper.

"When you... said those things, the amount and strength of the emotions triggered it early. Hence why i am the youngest witch ever" I explained.

"Bella i am-"

"Edward, this was going to happen whether you left or not. It was unavoidable, and you can hardly blame yourself for something that you couldn't avoid" I chuckled at him, realising that he was, in fact, blaming himself. Silly vampire.

"Okay. I aren't going to argue 'cos there is no way i will win is there?" He turned, smirking at me.

"Your learning Cullen" I chuckled, turning and walking away.

"Hey, what does this mean?" I turned back to see him pointing to the number beneath my date of birth.

"That's my magic level. How.... powerful i am" I said fidgeting with my sleeve.

"But.... yours is higher than this ones" he said, referring to the woman's name next to me. She did have a lower power level than me, but i wasn't going to brag.

"Yep, and Bella hasn't even changed yet either and she already has most of the spells down. Imagine how powerful she'll be when she's changed" My gran bragged for me, me shooting her a glare as Edward openly gaped at me.

"Really? You're.... that powerful?" He stuttered, i nodded looking at the floor.

"Jesus Bella! Remind me not to get on your bad side!" Jasper joked, appearing next to me, looking at my name.

"Yeah, totally" I mumbled, turning away, ready to bury myself in books.

We spent a while in there. Carlisle was sat with me as i translated one of the books he wanted to read. Most of the books in here are in our own dialect, a dialect only witches can read. It was one of those things that you just know, and i was glad i wouldn't have to sit there and learn an entire new language.

Rose and Alice spent hours looking at witch clothing and fashion, Jasper read up on witch history, Esme looked at housing and decoration and Emmett was fascinated by the sports we used to play. Carlisle was reading up on medicine while Edward was just reading what ever i was.

"Gran? I have to get back. Coralee might have eaten the house by now" I said, getting up and putting the book back on it's shelf.

"Well, i can't transport all of us home on my own, we'll go with you"

When we all got back, the house was fine, and Coralee was asleep. No surprise there.

I realised that it was dark, and i should be heading home pretty soon. Gran, hearing my thoughts, got out of her seat, causing all the Cullen's to look up at her.

"Sorry, but you may not need to sleep, but we do" She smirked. I hugged the Cullen's goodbye while gran just smiled, she wasn't that comfortable around them yet.

When we got home, Coralee in my arms , sleeping - shock horror!- everything seemed so boring and.... quiet. I missed them already.

"I'm going to bed" I yawned, laying the snoozing Coralee on her doggy bed.

Gran kissed my cheek, smirking slightly. As i walked upstairs i heard her voice in my head

I don't want to find your window open or any half naked vampire men in your bed Bella She chuckled out loud and i shook my head even though she couldn't see it.

After climbing into bed, i stared at my shadowed ceiling blankly. My life had suddenly done a whole 360. I had Edward and the Cullen's back, i wasn't the weak little human thing i used to be, and i could now hold my own against anyone. The only thing was my parents. Why couldn't i just have both families?

I went to sleep with a frown on my face. My dreams were blank, of which i was very happy. I don't think i could take any playbacks of the argument.

I knew when i woke up that gran was downstairs. I could hear talking and shuffling that could only be said to be grans. I knew Edward was here too, since the aching in my chest had lessened. This pull could get pretty hard to live with if Edward wasn't here with me.

I trudged downstairs in my pyjama, yellow and pink stripy shorts and a baggy shirt that almost covered them. I didn't really care if they saw me, they've seen me lunch worse than this. I stood in the archway, seeing as all eight pairs of eyes turned to me, full of amusement. I just stretched and smiled, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"You're here early" I said, looking at Edward. He rolled his eyes, his hand twitching towards me. I knew the feeling. Being this close to Edward but not touching made the pain and anxiety even worse.

"Bella, it's eleven o'clock in the morning" He smirked as i turned to look at the clock on the dining room wall.

I shrugged, frowning at gran questioningly.

Are you okay? Gran looked at me, rolling her eyes.

Yeah. You were right you know, these vamps are okay you know She feigned indifference but i saw the tiny tug on her lips.

I aren't going to say i told you so but-

"I told you so" I smirked at i walked across the room and plopped down in Edwards lap. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me to one side so i wasn't taking over his entire vision. I felt myself relax instantly, a sigh escaping my lips. I could stay like this forever.

"So could i" And i could tell Edward was smiling when he said it. I smiled until it fell. I spun to face him, shock probably clear on my face.

"Y...you can hear me now?" My eyes bugged out. He chuckled a little at my expression, nodding.

Shit!

"Language young lady!" My gran chided playfully from her place next to Esme on the two seater.

I heard the other's chuckling, guessing what i said probably. After the shock had warn off, i smiled at Edward, happy that one of his burdens had been let free finally.

"So that's why your all over here?" I turned back around, the smile refusing to fall from my face.

"Can't we just be here to see our best bud, our sister and our daughter?" I raised my eyebrows at Em and he sighed, smiling a little.

"Okay, it was the main reason. You gran has just been giving Edward a lesson in how to read your mind, since, apparently your mind is harder to get into than everyone elses" He rolled his eyes, sitting back again, putting his arm around Rose.

"All i can here is a faint whisper of what your thinking. I have to really concentrate to actually hear you, unless you let me in" He pouted a little, hopeful to the last. I nodded, decreasing the strength of the shield on my mind by a little.

I heard him gasp and i smirked Hello Edward

"Oh my Jesus Christ!" He muttered to himself, but everyone could hear him. There were several chuckles throughout the room but Edward's eyes were glued to mine.

Are you happy now Edward? My smirk grew even wider

Why yes i am He smirked back at me, kissing my cheek.

"Out loud please!" Emmett whined from the two seater sofa.

I rolled my eyes "What are we doing today?" I peered around the room looking for an answer from one of them.

Jasper opened his mouth to speak, but closed it abruptly when Coralee came bounding in, peering questioningly at our guests. You have to smile at her, she looked so tired all the time.

She walked up to Jasper, sniffing his shoe. I saw him stiffen, his eyes turn black.

Using a retrieval spell, i brought Coralee zooming into my waiting arms. I kissed the top of her sleepy head before glaring at Jasper.

"I would rethink that if i were you. It's gunno cost you your manhood if you lay one hurtful finger on her" I narrowed my eyes at him as his eyes turned back to the gold colour i knew so well. Alice elbowed him in the ribs and i saw him wince.

"Sorry" He mumbled, ducking his head.

I suddenly felt bad. I said i forgave Jasper for what he did on my birthday, and i probably made him doubt that. As an added incentive, not wanting to make him feel bad i addressed the others as well.

"That goes for the rest of you as well, you know" I glared at them all in turn and they all nodded in understanding.

I looked down to find Coralee squirming to get free, so i put her on the floor, curious. She plodded straight over to Jasper and jumped on his lap, curling up there and looking up at Jasper with her big eyes.

I saw Jasper smile faintly as he stroked her head. I chuckled, shaking my head at the picture in front of me.

"Looks like you got another friend Jazz" I said, smiling at the image of a vampire petting a puppy. I expected to see flying pigs next time i went to school.

That reminds me....

"When do we go back to school?" I asked, looking around at everyone.

"A few days" Edward whispered in my ear, making me shiver. I opened my mouth to reply, but the sound of my phone vibrating interrupted me.

I rolled my eyes, summoning my phone, loving how it zoomed through the doorway, the Cullen's all watching with amazed eyes as it landed in my palm.

"Just a text" I told no-one in particular. Edward of course, read over my shoulder.

Hey!! Haven't seen you in ages ! we are all coming to get you now, no excuses! See ya in 10
xx Lauren xx

I stood up in a flash, surprising everyone. I had to admit.... i had missed my friends a lot. we always joked and laughed, and they made me forget about what i was and how different i was.

"YAY!" I yelled, immediately happy... very happy. I was actually turning into Alice, bouncing on the spot, clapping my hands.

"What?!" Jasper said, a huge smile on his face becoming blurred as i spun in a circle.

"My friends are coming, my human friends" I amended afterwards.

"Well......" Gran said after a few minutes. I stopped spinning and looked at her questioningly. My eyes widened... clothes. I only had- glancing at the clock- four minutes left!!

"Arrggg!! I need to get dressed!" I said, disappearing out of the room and up the stairs, their laughter following me.

I paused at my wardrobe, frowning. I shrugged after a minute. They were my friends, who cares what i wear?

I slung on some faded blue flare jeans with a pattern down one leg, and a long stripy shirt. Simple, yet effective.

I panicked after i couldn't find my trainers. I checked under the bed, the wardrobe, moved all the crap off the floor to see, but nothing!

The door bell rung, and i yelled a bit, running down the stairs as fast as i could, faster than humans anyway, and flung the door open.

"Bella!" Jess Shaw squealed, hugging me so forcefully that i was pushed back into me house from the doorstep.

"Jess!" I squealed back.

"Oh my god, i haven't seen you in like... ages, and i expected you to look all different but you aren't at all, you're just the same, but Sarah told us about you going to London, and we thought you were spending the who holiday down there but then Lauren saw you at some point, and we knew you were back" Jess said, all in one breath.

Everyone else stood, trying to figure out what she said, but i knew. I could match her.

"I know, i missed you too, all of you. Yeah, i went to London but it didn't work out and i ended up in trouble and needed to be saved, so here i am. I have been wanting to talk to you but i didn't know if you were on holiday or not so i didn't......Aaarrggg!" I ran out of things to say so i just squealed and hugged her again. We jumped out and down in each others arms, smiling hugely.

"Okay, okay, calm down before your gran throws us out" Lauren said, smiling at us.

I dragged Jess with me as i went into the kitchen. Becky and Sarah had been stuck on the stairs, trying to avoid getting hit by me and Jess. Only Lauren was brave enough to stay put.

I soon pulled Becky into a hug. The first thing she asked me was if i had watched Lion King. She glared at me when i said no, she actually scared me a little. Sarah was next, we literally crushed each other with our hugs. We always do it. Squeezing each other, i always win, but she doesn't know about my ... extra strength.

Lauren was only small, but was probably the most serious of all of us.

"Are you okay?" She asked, worried.

I shrugged "Sure". I couldn't exactly tell them that my parents disowned me, i nearly got raped, got saved by my vampire family, forgiven them, and am a witch. I guess i could tell them the first part......

"Later" I told them, Jess' eyes crunching up with the possibility of gossip. Not that she would tell anyone, but still... gossip.

"Eerrr..... you remember .... my little dialema at school?" I rolled my eyes at their dumb struck faces "With the Cullen's" I added, their faces lighting up with understanding and.... hate.

"Yeah... those bas-"

"Jess....." I warned, she stopped, but crossed her arms.

"Why? After what they did to you! They deserve all-"

"Becky, they are in the sitting room!" I said, trying to get the to shut up.

They were quiet for about a second.

"WHAT?!"

I covered my ears from the loud noise.

"Why? Why are they here? Have you..... you have haven't you? You've forgiven them!" Lauren whisper shouted, even though they could hear anyway.

"Yes i have" I said confidently.

"Even Edward?" Becky's voice went up five octaves, her eye brows disappearing.

"Yes, especially Edward" I said, looking her squarely in the eyes.

They were stunned into silence for a minute or two.

"What happened? To make you forgive them? I mean... it must have been big. You hated them before, it was obvious" Sarah said, leaning on the kitchen counter, the shock gone.

I sighed, jumping up so i was sat on the one opposite to where she was standing.

"We... they kind of..... helped me a bit.... we got talking and... well, they explained everything" I said, remembering that night with blurry vision.

"Everything?" Jess said, jumping up and sitting on the counter, her swinging legs hitting Sarah.

"It was all a misunderstanding guys, even my gran believes them" I told them, their eyes widening.

"Even your gran!" Sarah said, and i was afraid her eyes might fall out. They had been around here plenty of times, and.... to them, my grans word was law. If she said it was right, it was right. If she believed the Cullen's, then they were telling the truth. Simple.

We were all silent for a moment, Becky broke it "So.... are you coming out or......" Her eyes were downcast. I wouldn't ditch my friends.

"Yeah! Why else would i be dressed at this un-godly hour?!" I laughed, jumping down. They laughed at me, shaking their heads, it was a well known fact that i was definitely not a morning person.

I paused, heading towards the sitting room, poking my head around the corner. I expected anger, or annoyance, after all, they were here for me. But...not smiling faces and chuckling at my expense.

"Can I......?" I asked Gran.

Why do you even ask? She thought, smirking at me on the outside. I chanced a glance at Edward, but got caught in his gaze. Could i leave him, or would it hurt too much?

"Guys?" I called to my friends stood in the kitchen, my eyes still fixed on Edward.

"Yeah?" They all shouted behind me.

"Can Edward come with us please?" A smirk appearing on his face as he knew my plan. I could here them muttering about no's, but Lauren sighed.

"Yeah, i suppose"

"Jesus Lauren, you don't have to sound too enthusiastic about it, you might have a heart attack" I said sarcastically, hearing chuckles from them, Edward getting up and walking over to me, taking my hand immediately.

"Bella?" I looked back to see Alice turning the puppy eyes on me. I think i melted right there and then.

"Please can i come? I missed my best friend" She whispered, and i just couldn't say no.

I sighed, and spoke louder, knowing what was coming.

"Okay.... anyone that wants to come, can come" I shook my head, backing up again and facing some very annoyed friends of mine.

"Just give them a chance, please?" I pouted and they gave in. I quickly found my trainers beneath the telephone table beside the front door, and pulled them on quickly.

We all headed out, we must look like a gang or something. There was.... 10 of us! Ten!

"Where we going this time guys?" I asked Sarah. I was shocked when she blushed, but caught on quickly.

"Aarrrrggggg! JACOB! What happened? What did i miss?" I shouted at her, squealing with delight. She had had a crush on Jacob since.. forever.

"Well....." Jess took over for her.

"He asked her out on Saturday! It was so sweet, he is such a romantic! You are so lucky!" Jess pouted, pointing at Sarah, her blush only deepened, but the smile was unmissable.

"Jacob? As in Jacob Sass?" Rose asked, peeking nervously at Sarah. Sarah looked absolutley stunned, but carried on.

"Um... yeah. Why?" Sarah said, getting defensive at the end.

"No reason. He's just a really good guy" She said, making a point of showing Sarah her and Em's hand together. Sarah cooled off after that, and we tried to get around the awkwardness.

In the end, we got Jacob, Becky (another one), Josh, Gary, Ben and Kelly out as well as all of us. I did get a bit worried. Five vampires that were used to fast cars, i was sure they would get bored.

In the end, we were laid on burringham road field in a big circle.

Alice, Jasper, Becky and Sarah were all talking about... something, i don't really know what.

Rose, was locked in a conversation with Jess, holding hands with Emmett while he was turned the other way, talking to all the boys about football, and not the American kind.

Lauren was talking with Becky (the other one) and Kelly, but she walked over to us and laid down next to me.

"I've spoken to Jess recently" She said nervously.

I heard Edward growl beside me, but i tugged on his arm, making his stop. It didn't avoid my attention that all the vampires were now listening to us, or watching Edward.

"What did she say?" I asked, truly interested.

She sighed "Nothing apologetic that's for sure. She said that you had taken us off her, and we were pushing her out. She said....." She looked at Edward swiftly before her worried gaze fixed on me.

"She said the next time she saw you, it wouldn't be just a slap. And if you are back with Edward... it'll only make her worse"

I don't know what she was expecting, but i just laughed. I had to laugh. The very though of Jessica ever hurting me was hilarious. She couldn't touch me anymore. Maybe i could set her hair on fire... or her trousers.....

Bella, that's not very nice is it? Edward teased me

Well, she isn't very nice Edward I replied.

We all stayed out until it was black, and everyone else was gone.

We all went home, well, the Cullen's cam home with me, back to Carlisle and Esme. Becky had made Alice promise to watch Lion King one, two and three, to which she had accepted. I patted Jasper's back sympathetically.

My days were exactly like that. I would wake up to the Cullen's in my sitting room, my friends would come and we would all go out and just... hang out places. The park, the street, some randomer's front garden, a field, we always ended up laid down laughing. I was glad that my friends had gotten to know the Cullen's, and though they hated to admit it, they liked them. They were still a little cold towards Edward, but that was a given.

By the time school started, i wanted another week of my holiday. I had managed to push all thoughts of my parents away, and enjoyed my time with my family and friends.

They even stayed at night, when i didn't need sleep, to watch me practice and train. Not only did i have to train my magic, which is still annoyingly limited, but my body. I had to do Yoga and Marshal Arts. What's the point in being all powerful, if i am weak?

Jasper and Emmett regularly got involved with the Marshal Arts. Gran had to put up a mirage and a shield around the garden, because when you throw am a vampire off you, you don't really want him on the school field. Nor did we want people see see or hear what we were doing, that would raise a lot of unanswerable questions. Since our enemies were vampires, i trained with them, learning their fighting stances, their moves, and defensive attacks. They were a tad bit shocked when i pinned Jasper in three minutes. I found it fun.

Edward had trouble watching me fight his brothers, but my gran kept him silent and motionless with magic so he wouldn't interfere. We all got a good crack out of the fact that Edward couldn't talk. He didn't.

My friends came for me as usual in the morning before school. We walked across the field and into our first class, history, great! My only lesson where my only friend was Jessica.

I sat beside her like usual, annoying the crap out of her. I loved to watch her squirm, serves her right for hitting me!

The day went well overall.

Break was...entertaining. We sat where we usually did, but the Cullen's came out and sat with us. Everyone slowly backed away from them, but those who had been with them treated them during the holiday treated them like friends. When Jess walked past, all the vampires just glared at her until she was out of sight. No-one noticed it beside me, but i knew that there was something i didn't know about going on.

What is it Edward?

He sighed, nodding slightly. He replayed something in his mind. Jess walking past him after slapping me, her talking to him, smiling at him. I felt his urge to hit her, to kill her. That wouldn't have revealed them as vampires! (Sarcasm)

I shook my head at him, smiling, Even when i hated him, he still defended me. Unbelievable.

Dinner was better. People were used to seeing the Cullen's there and weren't so shocked. Apparently the biggest shock was the smiling and talking. Things they never did before. The Cullen's were happy that they didn't have to sit in a cafeteria and pretend to eat food. Out here, we don't usually eat dinner anyway, too busy talking and laughing to eat.

It was Biology that changed everything

We were in a maths room for some strange reason, just doing an exam paper because the stand-in teacher couldn't be bothered to actually teach us anything. I was sat with Edward, while Jess sat with Lauren, making Jessica sit by herself.

Everything went fine, Edward was helping me with the answers using our little connection. Very useful.

The room was silent apart from pen scribbling on paper. This teacher was very strict, and no-one got on his bad side. Everyone jumped at a knock at the door, turning to look at it.

It was Mrs Bradley, a worried expression on her face as she opened the door. Her eyes raked over the class, obviously looking for someone. Her eyes settled on me, and i felt Edward stiffen beside me. This couldn't be good. I glanced at him, wanting him to give me the answer, but he looked horrified, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide. His thoughts were all muddled and confused, that i couldn't make anything out at all. This, above all else, scared me.

"Excuse me... sir, but Miss Swan needs to be excused" She said in a rough voice, clearing her throat. I did notice how she said it. They usually say "Can they be excused", but this was more forceful, like he had no option anyway.

Of course, he granted me permission, and i got up from my seat, walking across the room, eyes following me eagerly. I walked out the door, closing it behind me. Mrs Bradley looked like she wanted to say something, but walked away. Not before i saw the tears in her eyes though.

Thousands of possibilities went through my head. What would cause Mrs Bradley to cry? Why would Edward be so confused and horrified?

This had to be bad.

I followed behind Mrs Bradley silently descending the stairs and walking into the main building. Outside the office were two police officers, sitting against the table me and my friends had, on my first day at school. It seemed almost ironic. The place i realised i had friends, would be the place that... some bad thing will happen.

"Are you Miss Isabella Swan?" The man on the right stood up straight, his gruff voice making him seem older, even though he looked in his mid-twenties.

"Yeah" I said, nervousness clawing at my throat, making it hard to speak. Mrs Bradley gave me one last glance before disappearing into the office, leaving me with the two policemen. Traitor.

"We have come to inform you that there has been an accident" He said, his voice void of emotion. I could only listen as he spoke.

"A car was found at the side of a road, two bodies were found inside" He paused, and my mind raced with possibilities. Two people. Which two people?

"The people were identified as Renee Dwyer, and Charlie Swan"

Okay, so you probably hate me. This took me over a month! A WHOLE MONTH!
In my defence i have had the biggest case of writers block EVER known to the world
