A/N: Hey all! Okay so there are a few things I forgot to put in the last chapter mainly being that the link to Midnight's Mission outfit and her Ball Dress are on my profile and I love them so go check them out. I want the boots, but then again I have an obsession with shoes. I'm so happy that everyone was mad at Alice! I got really mad at her, I love her character, but sometimes she just pisses me off. Also, I have two new stories I'm writing, but I don't know whether to start posting them now or wait until I have more to work with so let me know if you want them or at least a preview. I think that's everything. Oh, don't worry Bella won't be forgiving Alice anytime soon, but I love Jasper too much to let harm come to him :) Ok now that's all...Enjoy!

Chapter 13: I Dare You to Play With Me

Caius was the first one to come. He was in my room the next day. He looked like he hadn't hunted in days. All I needed was one look into his haunted eyes and I knew I would forgive him. I reached out and grabbed his hand, using Aro's power for the first time ever. I was flooded with memories of me. I saw the love he had for me and the pain he had felt for the last hundred years. I couldn't stay mad at him.

"Bella, I'm so sorry my daughter. I'm sorry for how I've acted. I'm sorry for not visiting more often and most of all, I'm sorry that it took getting yelled at by a temperamental vampire to make me realize what I had been doing. Bella, I don't even know the words…" He couldn't go on, and I swear that if vampires could cry, there would already be waterworks.

"I love you too, Papa Caius." I said knowing the words he wanted to say. He hugged me tightly and held on for dear life. As if he thought that if he let me go, he would lose me all over again. After that day, he came much more often. We read books together. He taught me to play the violin, flute and piano. He even taught me how to paint and installed a window in my room so that I could be inspired by the world.

Slowly, the other members of my family came trickling in. I forgave most right away, using their memories as evidence or their sincerity. Midnight still went on her missions and while she was gone we told everyone that Bella was asleep and to come back later. Twenty years later, however, there were still no apologies from Alice or my father. Alice never even visited after that day. One winter night I was hit by a vision. Alice needed Midnight's help. Someone she cared deeply about was in danger and Midnight was the only one who could save her. It would happen in exactly 4 years.

3 years and 360 days later, there was a timid knock on my door. I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing. I laughed literally until I cried. Once I had finally collected myself, I looked up to find Alice standing in front of me looking seriously confused.

"Let me guess, oh twin of mine. Here to sweet talk me so I get Midnight to help you?" I sneered.

"No…" She shuffled her feet, not meeting my gaze. "I missed you I wanted to apologize for the way I've acted."

"Whatever. You and I both know that I got the same vision you did. If she doesn't do something, your poor Jasper will be killed." I laughed.

"Well yes, but I am sorry!" She insisted. "Just give me a chance. I know you've been forgiving the others. I am sorry, sis." She pleaded frantically.

"Alice I'm not your 'sis'. You lost her years ago. No, scratch that, you abandoned her years ago. I have forgiven some of the others, but only after days of talking and rebuilding our relationships and you what? Think that because you need my help and give me this fake half-assed apology I'll forgive you? Think again little pixie. I have no plans of that any time soon…However, Midnight has already been given the assignment to go stop the wars in the south and I will tell her to save Jasper." I sighed defeated. As much as I wanted to be mean, I couldn't hurt Alice like that. Besides, Jasper was going to be a great brother to me. However, she was nowhere near forgiven. "When you're truly sorry and not just here to use me, we can talk about the word forgiveness. Until then, go find your Jasper. He's where your loyalties lie." With that I turned away from her and began painting the oak tree outside my window. I heard the door close and the sobs of relief. I could only hope that this Jasper could love my sister the way she deserved.

Five days later, Midnight was in Texas, cleaning up after a giant war between two vampire armies. There had been an outbreak of wars in the South. Armies made up of a few adult vampires fighting with newborn soldiers for land and blood. The worst leader was a woman named Maria. Most of her success was due to her second in command. Jasper. My sister's future mate and my future brother in law. The fighting was over and only those two survived. In Maria's memories I saw only a thirst for blood and power at any cost. She was planning to kill Jasper no matter the outcome of the wars. In Jasper's I saw regret. Maria was quickly killed and Jasper was saved. As I moved to leave, I felt a tug on my arm.

"Ma'am, why did you save me?" Jasper drawled uncertainly. He was tall and lean with shaggy blonde hair. He was adorable and perfect for Alice.

"Because I know you did not want to kill all of those beings…and I have a princess back home who would be devastated if you died."

"A what?" He asked confused. He did not know much about the Volturi.

"You'll see." He wasn't satisfied. "Fine, let's just say that I was doing your future bride and sister in law a big favor." I said as I walked away.

"Who in the what now?" Mmm, I guess that didn't really help.

"Jasper, you're a truly good soul. Go to Oregon and find your happiness, she'll be waiting for you there. Her name is Alice. She may seem like a bit much to handle, but you're up to the task. I'll see you again sometime." With that I left, happy to have had a hand in my sister's happiness…even if she was being a selfish little bee with an itch right now.

"Thank you!" He yelled. I looked back and saw nothing but happiness in his eyes. I was glad that I had saved him. I always wanted a brother.

I had planned on making a secret trip to my wolves on my way back. Kane was the only one that I knew who was still alive. I missed them and wanted nothing more than to visit my other family. Unfortunately, on my way I got news of a newborn problem in Chicago. A man named Hugo was creating newborns and putting them in highly populated areas while they changed. The moment they woke up, they went on a killing spree and it was starting to make people suspicious. I was the closest member of the Guard, so it was my assignment.

I quickly tracked down Hugo and 'took care' of him, but not before acquiring a new power that would greatly change the lives of many vampires. Hugo never knew it, but he had the ability to make any vampire temporarily non-venomous. With one touch he could take away a vampire's ability to create another one of our kind for at least a short amount of time. I went in search of the others, finding them and capturing them. They would be rounded up by a new Guard member named Felix that I had yet to meet. After that, Aro would decide whether or not they could uphold our rules. Either way, my job was done. I walked the streets of Chicago exploring one place I had never been before. There had been an outbreak of Influenza recently. Doors were boarded up and no one ventured out. I was looking for foodwhen I heard a weakening heartbeat. I turned down the closest ally to find a six year old little girl, dying of Spanish Influenza. Carlisle had taught me enough about medicine for me to know that she needed a hospital. Now.

I scooped her up in my arms and ran as fast as I could to the nearest hospital. Thankfully, it was the middle of the night and anyone who may have been out to see me was far too inebriated to realize that I was running too fast to be human. I changed my clothes while I ran, taking off my mask as well. No one would recognize me here. I reached the hospital five minutes later and admitted the girl, saying that I was her older sister. They took her in without asking a single question. The Spanish Influenza had broken out a few months ago and by the looks of it, things had already gotten out of control. Everywhere around me people were running frantically to try to save dying patients. There were 5 sick to every 1 healthy and the disease was winning. I knew enough to help and could not walk away without doing something. I ran up to a short and tired nurse, telling her that my mother had been a nurse and I may be able to help. She told me to do what I could.

I spent three days at the hospital, administering drugs, taking blood and doing anything else they told me to. I had to get back to Voltera, but I had two more patients to check on, a mother and her son. The nurse I had met on my first day, Miriam, told me that they were very far gone and just needed to be kept company. Apparently one of the doctors had taken a special liking to them and wanted a nurse there at all times. I walked into their room, checking the woman first. She was beautiful even in her sickness. She had copper hair and blue-green eyes. Her face was soft but strong. She was a fighter. I bent down to check her heart rate when she noticed me.

"You're another one of them aren't you?" She whispered, not able to talk any louder.

"Yes, I'm another nurse." I said, thinking that was what she meant.

"No. You're different, like the doctor. You can save my son." She replied.

"I'm sorry ma'am I don't quite know what you mean."

"You and the doctor. You have to save him. I know you're different. Just go help him." She pleaded pointing the boy in the bed next to hers.

I walked over to her son, like she asked me to. I looked down at his pale and fragile body. It always amazed me what the body would stand up to. It was obvious that he was going to die, but he just was not giving up. I had a sneaking suspicion that he got his strength from that mother of his. My eyes moved up his body, taking in his vitals. Times like these, I was extremely thankful for my freakishly good hearing and sight. I watched his neck, seeing the faint pulse that still beat on. When I finally reached his eyes, my breath caught and my heart literally stopped.

Only for one or two beats, but still, I had never reacted that way to anyone in my life. His emerald green eyes bore into my soul and I swear I might have melted. I could see his beauty through his sickness, just like his mother, and it broke my heart. Through those piercing green orbs, I saw into his soul. It was pure and good and worth saving. I knew at that moment that I would do anything to save him. My thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.

"I'm sorry miss, but would you mind leaving me alone with them for a moment?" I turned around to come face to face with a blond vampire.

"Father!" I shouted, maybe he could save this boy in front of me.

"Bella? My daughter, what are you doing here?" He asked as he hugged me gently.

"Well, I was here to take care of a small newborn problem, but as I was leaving I stumbled upon a sick little girl and just couldn't help myself. I brought her here and saw how understaffed you were so I offered my services." I explained, constantly listening to the weakening heartbeat of the two humans in the room.

"That's my little girl, head of the Volturi Guard with a heart of gold," Carlisle chuckled. I knew that inside he was bursting with pride. He had been upset when I joined the guard, afraid that I would lose my innocence.

"With a father as compassionate as you, who would expect any less?"

"Ha-ha, good to see your humor is still intact as well."

"Carlisle," I said changing the subject. "How long do they have? I want to save them, you have to save them." I pleaded with him.

"Maybe a day, maybe more…" He thought deeply for a moment before speaking again. "I think the mother knows what I am." They were both fast asleep; we knew we could talk about ourselves without them, or anyone, hearing.

"Yeah, I kind of got that impression too…"

"What? Why do you say that, Bella?" He was startled, but not all that surprised.

"She may have told me that I was 'different, just like the doctor'" I quoted, "but now I really know what she meant by that. She wants us to save him."

"I know, she already asked me to do everything in my power to save him." He said warily. "I don't know what to do, Bella. You know how much I love having company and how lonely I get, but can I really force another being into this life?"

"Oh please, stop talking like vampires don't have souls. Okay, so there are some who may not be the best people in the world, but I just can't see someone as good as you not having a soul. You have the ability to love, that alone proves you have a soul." I knew he did, he had to.

"See, always making others feel better. You, my little Bells, prove that vampires have a soul…even if you are only half vampire." He said smiling, still not convinced of his decision. I was using Alice's power to see the boy's future and it was still undecided.

"Change him Carlisle, I can't explain it, but he seems important to me. I need him around." I pleaded. Just as I was about to convince Carlisle I heard a voice in my head. I knew I could block it, but that would only cause more problems for me.

Hope you liked it please review! Thanks for all of the reviews so far! Let me know if you want previews of my other stories!

'Bella, I know it's not taking you this long to deal with three vampires. Get back before I come get you.' Damn Aro, damn mental communication.

"Carlisle, I have to go. I love you, my true father. Change him." I hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek before teleporting back to the castle.
