Previously: Bella let out a bark like laugh, at the fact that he thought she was Quiltella, and that she would ever listen to him, though her laughter was cut short by a wince of pain. Sighing softly Bella slowly pushed herself to her feet ignoring the pain, and Jumped shifting into her human form, before quickly slumping back against the tree her shirt ripped and quickly being covered in blood. Bella looked up at the pack that was once again reduced to shock.

"Bella?"

Chapter 3

Bella smirked, chuckling softly at their shocked expressions, while leaning her head back against the tree. Holding the wound on her stomach she could feel it stitching itself back together. Sitting there she waited for them to snap out of there shock.

After a few minutes passed and no one spoke, her wound finally healed, Bella shook her head before saying. "Well? Will one of you be so kind as to, oh I don't know, help me up?"

That seemed to snap them out of it, and Jake rushed forward to give her a hand. "Bella. You a wolf? How? Why... Why didn't you tell me?" The others seemed to snap out finally, Sam looking hard at Bella.

"Explanations can wait. Let's get go to the house, we'll eat and talk there." He spoke in a commanding tone. Bella rolled her eyes standing up with Jacob's help.

Once up Bella shrugged stretching out testing her newly healed muscles. "Sure, I could use some food." Turning to the forest she didn't look to see if they were following, before she walked in, easing into a light jog, before running then jumping and shifting in the air, and landing in a run, heading towards Sam's house.

She could hear them following, hearing the barks and growls between them she knew they were speaking between themselves, but she kept running. Her speed seemed to be faster than them as she reached the house a few minutes before them. Jumping back into her human form, she waited a few moments. Deciding against telling them her other powers, not that she didn't trust them... Well she trusted Jake. But she felt it was safer to keep them secret, and it wasn't like they needed to know she was a bigger freak them simply a wolf.

Chuckling to herself, she stopped when she heard them shifting and pulling on their shorts before coming out of the forest. Following them inside, she greeted Emily. "Hey Emily."

Emily smiled at her, before her smile feel from her face seeing the state of Bella's torn and bloody clothes. "Bella! What happened? Are you okay?" She rushed forward. Despite her being with Sam, she had taken quiet a liking to Emily.

"It's alright Emily I'm okay, but can you show me where the bathroom is so I can change?" She asked lifting up the sack she had taken to caring of her shoulder and across her chest, with a spare change of clothes for moments like this.

"Um yeah, sure. Up the stairs first door on the right." She motioned to the stairs. Smiling kindly at her she through a thanks over her shoulder and headed up the stairs. As she reached the top of the stairs she could hear Emily ask what happened, and them telling her she was a wolf, and got hurt attacking Victoria.

Reaching the bathroom, after closing the door, she pulled off her bloody ruined clothes. Cleaning up the dried blood Bella, pulled on a pair of jean shorts, and a black short tank, from her bag, and throwing her ruined clothes into the back before putting it back over her shoulder and heading down stairs.

They all looked up at her as she came down, she ignored their looks, and gladly took the offered muffin from Emily, and leaded against the wall by the door, before looking at them.

Right when she looked up, they all started asking questions, in rapid succession, making it all sound like a bunch of jumbled yelling, she quickly held up her hand and shouted stop. Once quiet she laughed softly, before saying. "How about one question, at a time, so I can actually understand you, and answer, and we'll go around the table, so that everyone can ask what's on their mind."

Seeing them nod their heads she motioned to Jake first. "Bella, how are you a wolf?" He asked quickly, what was on everyone's minds, and the one question she honestly didn't know the answer for.

"Honestly? I don't know, I'm not Quiltella, then again, you have to think that you can't be the only people in the world that can change into over grown wolves on steroids." She added logically.

They nodded in understanding, who she believed to be Jared went next. "How long have you been a wolf?"

"Just shortly after Jake, I knew something was up, so I followed you guys one day and saw you all in your wolf forms, and then watched as Jake shifted, to start yelling at ass. Sorry, Sam, and once I found out Sam was keeping Jake away from me, and why I left. I was filled with some much anger, and the next thing i know I was a wolf with a large strange craving for red meat." She rambled out, the guys chuckling at her calling Sam an ass, while he glared at her.

Paul went next, "I remember that argument, but wait that means you knew what we were that day you confronted us. If you knew, why the act?" He asked shaking softly in anger, she chuckled figuring he was still pissed at her hitting him.

"Well I knew, if i showed you i was a wolf, A-.. Sam would go all alpha and try to control me. and I don't like him already, so i didn't want that, and I couldn't very well just confront you saying you turn into giant wolves, you would just deny and, and I would probably get thrown in a loony bin, so I had to get you of you to shift in front of me. I could tell you would be the easiest since you don't seem to handle anger every well, so I punched you. Sorry about that by the way. " She added, he nodded accepting the apology, while the rest went over what she was saying.

"Why can't we hear your thoughts?" Quil asked, everyone looked at her for an explanation, she assumed cause they all probably want to know if they can hide their thoughts from each other to.

Seeing as how the only way she could tell them the truth, would mean revealing one of her powers, she lied. "I don't know, but it probably has to do with the same reason why Edward," They all growled or stiffened at his name, " couldn't read my mind either. But if I want I can hear you guys, for some reason."

"What do you mean that leech couldn't read your mind either?" Embry growled out.

"Well, some vampire's when they change they sometimes get certain powers with the change. Edward can read everyone's minds, except mine. Alice, the little pixie like one, could see parts of the future, depending on peoples decisions. And Jasper, Alice's husband, the one that looks in pain all the time, can feel and influence people's emotions." She felt a little bad for reveling some of their secrets, but she shook off the feeling, after all they abandoned her.

Finally Sam spoke, "Well, sense I believe that all we had to ask, let's talk about your duties to the tri-" Bella cut him off, anger in her voice.

"Duties? Have you forgotten? I am not Quiltella, so I am not part of this tribe, meaning I don't have any duties I need to do for this tribe. And before you even try it, your alpha voice doesn't work on me, meaning you are NOT my alpha, and that I am NOT a part of your pack, so i don't have to do a god damn thing you say." She spat out, once again shocking everyone.

"But, I don't anyone to be hurt by the vampires, so I am willing to work with you in killing off any nomads that come this way. And sense I am not a part of your tribe, that means that if the Cullen's ever come back, I don't have to follow the treaty, meaning I can still kill off vampire in or around forks. So it would be in your benefit, that you think of me as more like an ally, rather than a make me apart of this tribe."

Sam nodded, along with the rest, once again seeing her logic, and shaking off the anger to assert if dominance over the new wolf, as she stated she wasn't a part of his pack.

Bella had stayed at Sam's house for the rest of the day, getting to know the pack, and Emily better, after speaking to Emily she had come to a understating of Sam's reasons for making Jacob push her away, she came to hold a somewhat peaceful friendship with the alpha. And they were able to talk about their plans for patrolling, Bella promising to keep her mind 'open' to their thoughts if they needed to reach her in wolf form, and Bella, after a few days pretended to 'find' a way to speak one to two words to their mind, so she could let them know if she heard them or not. Bella had come to see the pack as her family, and have become to the point that they referred to them as brothers, and her sister.

The following week Bella found herself with the pack on the cliffs by La Push's beach. After a week of Jake begging had decided to go cliff diving with them. Watching as they each messed around, one shoving the other in, or doing some stunt as they dived off the cliff side into the waters bellow.

Finally Bella stood by herself at the top of the cliffs looking down at the water, her expression turned somber as she thought back on her life, and her time with Edward. She had found that even though he left, and his family abandoned her with him, Edward breaking his promise to always be with her, while he felt such anger towards his, she still the painful throb of her heart, still beating its love for him.

As she gazed down into the waters, she thought back on the moths since his departure, and came to realize, the fact that he had every intention of leavening her, and never coming back. And up until this point she hasn't accepted this fact.

"Edward," his name slipped past her lips, the whisper disappearing in the cold wind, as if she never said it in the first place. After speaking his name, she took one last moment to think of him, deciding that while she will always have a small part of her hope that he may one day return to her. She finally accepted the fact that he may, and probably will never return, at least not in her lifetime.

While would still hope that he would return, and that no matter what he will always hold her heart, she decided to do as he requested, and with this jump, she will let him fade into the past, and she will finally move on with her relatively normal, somewhat human life.

"Edward, you wanted this, you wanted me to be human." She whispered to herself. "Well, here's me being human." She stated taking a few steps back, before sprinting forward and vaulting herself from the cliff side, and down into the cold water bellow.

As she fell, she was got a feeling as if the weight of her heartache for him, slowly lifting with each foot she fell. Until she was submerged under the water, a soft smile gracing her face as she as she felt a sense of peace.

Sitting for a moment under water, she enjoyed the new weightless feel of her heart before swimming to the surface, and making her way towards the beach, and her new family.

After spending the day at the beach, she envied Jake over for dinner, with her as Charlie was out of town for visiting for a funeral for a old friend. ((A/N: Harry Clearwater is alive, but in the hospital, that will be explained later in the story)) As Jacob drove her truck she leaned into his warm side, as the chatted, talking about their plans to take the bikes out for a ride the following day.

Pulling up to her house, Jake shut off the truck turning to Bella. "Bells, I've been thinking about this for a while. And as much as it pains me, I know a part of you still loves that leech. And if he ever comes back, and he wants you back, and you choose to go back with him. While I hate him, and his kind, and I think you can do so much better than him. I know he makes you happy, and that you love him, so as long as he never hurts you again. I won't stand in your way of being with him. I know you love him, and I love you like a sister, and as long as your happy. I will accept your decision to be with him, and I won't stand in your way."

Bella sat there in stunned silence for a moment, before hugging him as hard as she could. "Even though I doubt he will ever come back Jake. Thank you. You have no idea how much that means to me."

He let out a bark like laugh, "Don't thank me yet. Cause if he ever does come back, I'm not too sure the pack will be as open minded. In fact I'm pretty sure they still want to kill him, for how he hurt you."

She laughed along with him knowing what he said was very true. The pack loved her like a sister, becoming extremely protective of her and after seeing how he hurt her, she had seen in each of their minds how creative each of them wanted to rip him apart.

"Let's go inside and make something to eat, I'm starveling for some of your lasagna." He motioned opening his door, letting a rush of cold air race into the car, both stiffening instantly as the sweet, or sickly sweet smell in Jacobs case, wafted across their noses.

Bella looked quickly around to try and spot said vampire, her eyes landing on a car that she never thought she would see again. "That's Carlisle's car. That means that one of the Cullen's are hear. Jake wait here."

She moved to get out of the car, but Jake grabbed her, "What? I'm not leaving you alone with a leech." He growled out.

"Jake I'm a wolf I'll be fine on my own, if it's more than I can handle I'll call for you and the pack, but you have to stay here. If it is one of the Cullen's that means the treaty is back in affect and that you cannot be here. So wait here."

While Jake was shaking in anger he agreed, to wait. Bella hopped out of her car, and made her way up towards the house. Taking in the scent of the vampire, it smelled familiar, but she couldn't quiet place it. Using her power, her eyes dilating, she pushed into the minds around her, ignoring Jacobs angry thoughts, she found the thoughts of the vampire, Alice Cullen.

Bella sighed in relief, releasing her power, knowing it was just Alice and not a threat, she made her way inside, wondering why her once friend, who abandoned her, leaving without so much as a goodbye.

She entered her house, closing the door, her senses picking up a shift in the air, and Alice's sweet pixie like scent filled her nose letting her know Alice was standing right next to her. Turning on the light, she faked a scream and jumped at the sight of Alice.

"JESUS CHRIST ALICE! What the hell is the matter with you? Standing in my LOCKED house, in the dark. How would you explain that to Charlie if he walked in? You know what don't answer that. What are you doing here?" She asked looked at Alice as she looked at her in shock, before jumping on her in a hug.

"I should be asking you that! I came here to comfort Charlie about your death." She stated, making, Bella pulled away raising an eyebrow.

"My death, Alice?" she asked, "Care to explain, seeing as I am standing in front of you, very well alive."

"I saw a vision of you standing on a cliff, you jumped committing suicide, then everything turned black, which normally means that person is dead. So how are you alive? and What the hell were you doing JUMPING off a cliff?" she asked her voice, a mix, of shock, happiness, curiosity, and anger.

"It's called cliff diving, it's a recreational sport down in La Push, I was cliff diving with a bunch of Quiltella guys, and my friend Jacob Black. As for why my future turned black, your guess is as good as mine." She stated calmly.

"Why were you cliff diving? That's dangerous, you promised Edward to stay out of danger. And why do you smell like a wet dog?"

"Cause it was something to do, and why should I keep my promises to him when he broke all of his to me?" she bristled in anger, "As for the wet dog, that would probably be Jake and the guys seeing as they are all werewolves."

"WEREWOLVES? Bella do you have any idea how dangerous they are?" she screeched.

"No more dangerous than a leech like you." A voice growled out, making them both turn towards Jacob who had entered into the house.

"Jake! I told you to wait!" I whined at him. Alice glared at him, and by the looks of things was trying not to hiss and pounce on him.

"Well I couldn't leave knowing that there is a leech here, and you might get hurt, plus I was hungry." He grinned sheepishly. I shook my head, and pointed him towards the kitchen. "Go make yourself something to eat."

"Look Alice, I much as I've missed you, and wish you could stay. I pretty sure you left without Edward knowing, and as you can see I am alive and well. You should probaby go before he finds out you were here."

"I can stay for a little while, besides, Edwards in Brazil or some place, and he hardly ever calls, so no worries. Besides, I want to know why you have dyed you hair, black and white, which you are changing back. Why you are wearing these clothes, and not the clothes I got you! And why you eyes seem to have a blue ring around them now." She stated in a rush, glaring at Bella's choice of clothing wear.

Before she could answer, the phone rang, "Jake could you get that?" hearing a reply, she turned back to Alice. "My hair, was sort of spontaneous, and no I will not dye it back, cause I happen to like it. I'm wearing these clothes cause I find them comfortable, and they were cheap. As for the eyes-" Before she could continue, Alice gasped, her eyes glazing over, telling Bella she was being pulled into a vision.

While being waiting for her to come out, Jacob walked into the room. "Bella you probably don't want to hear this, but the lee- Edward, called asking for Charlie, when i told him he was away at a funeral, he hung up. Thought you should know."

Just as he finished Alice came out of her vision turning her gaze to Jacob, and hissing out. "You idiot! because of you Edward thinks Bella is dead, and now he's going to volturri to kill himself!"

"HOLD ON! First Alice, Jacob has done nothing wrong, he just answered the phone, and said Charlie was at a funeral, which is the truth! It's not his he didn't state, nor did Edward ask who's funeral, and second. WHAT DO YOU MEAN EDWARD IS GOING TO KILL HIM SELF?" Bella screamed at her.

"Edward called the house, and Rosalie told him of my vision of you killing yourself. So Edward called here hoping it wasn't true, and because of the mutt," she hissed at Jacob. "Edward now believes you are dead. And now is going to the Volturri to ask for them to kill him, as he can't live in a world without you."

So here Bella was, sitting if a first class seat next to Alice, flying to Volterra, Italy, to save Edward from, well himself. While Jacob protested me walking into the nest of THEE biggest city of vampires, he understood why I had to go, and promised to try and keep the pack from worrying.

Alice spent most of the flight, checking and rechecking on Edward to see if they will make it there in time, and to see what changes. Bella spent most of the flight resisting the urge to just grab Alice and Jump there. For some reason Bella knew they would make it in time, she didn't want to reveal her secrets to anyone. The only reason the pack knew she could turn into a wolf, was cause she was careless in dealing with Victoria, and she got hurt.

Upon arriving in Italy, Alice stole a car, and they were currently racing there way towards Volturri, Bella not minding in the least, about her speed. "Alice, I understand that we needed to steal a car, as it would be quicker than going through what was needed to rent one. but out off all the car you steal. You get a bright ass, yellow Porsche. Yeah. This will SO not draw attention, to the fact that we committed grand theft auto." She told her sarcastically.

"Bella, the Volturri rejected Edwards request believing him to be to valuable to kill, so in order to force their hand he's going to reveal himself to the humans at the festival by walking into the sunlight. I can't go near Edward cause then he'll know I'm trying to stop him, you have to go yourself." She stated completely ignoring her previous statement.

"Okay, where is he in the city?" Bella asked in a worried tone, wondering if she would make it in time.

"In the center of the city by the clock tower, were the festival is taking place, cause that's were most of the people with be." Stopping the car when people became to crowed in the road and the police where telling them to stop.

Not waiting a moment Bella jumped out of the car racing through the people, knowing it would take longer going through the people and not knowing really which direction to go Bella went into a narrow back alley, and wall jumped up the wall to the roof. Looking across the city, Bella spotted the tower and started to race across the roof tops, when a gap was too big for her to leap across she jumped to the next roof top. Finally reaching the center on the city she looked down on the people trying to spot Edward.

Just as the ringing of the bells to the clock went off Bella spotted Edward in the doorway of a building across from her slowly stripping his shirt from his body. Knowing it would take her to long to climb down from the roof top, and race across quad, and through the people, she started at the space just behind Edward.

'Screw keeping my powers a secret. Edward is more important.' She thought, she used her powers and jumped into the space behind him, grabbing Edward around the waste and using her wolf strength she threw him back, closing the doors to the building and locking the doors with her mover power. She finally turned her gaze down to where Edward laid.

"Edward." She stated, her voice filled with relief of saving him in time, anger at him doing this, but above all else the love she had for him.

"Bella?" He asked looking at her in disbelief that she was standing before him, and taking in her new appearance. Snapping out of it, she was suddenly in his arms, his head burying itself in her hair by her neck.

"Your here? Your alive." He stuttered out, holding her tightly.

Bella chuckled looking up at Edward, "I was never dead, and of course I'm here. I wouldn't let you go and kill yourself over me, especially when I am not dead."

Before they could continue, to men stepped out, Edward pulled Bella behind him in a protective manner. "Gentlemen. It seems I am no longer in need of your service. You can leave." He growled out.

"Not quiet. It seems the masters would like to see you." One spoke gesturing for him to follow. Edward looked towards Bella, "Bella, why don't you go enjoy the festival, I won't be long."

"No. They would like to see her as well." The other spoke smirking at them, his red eyes glinting in amusement.

Edward growled at him, shaking his head no, but before he could speak the door Bella locked broke open and Alice stepped in. "Boys, calm down. Now there's no need for Bella to come, the secret wasn't revealed. There is no need for them to see Bella."

Before they could disagree the tapping of heals sounded and out came a girl, with blond hair tied in a bun, her crimson eyes highlighted by the black coal surrounding her eyes.

"Jane." Edward and Alice said, Bella noting a bit of fear in their voices.

"Aro sent me to find out what was taking so long." her little innocent voice said, but Bella wasn't fooled. "Follow me." she looked at them, pointedly at Bella as if stating he had to come.

One handed Edward a red cloak, that he put on, before they followed them door the different hallways. Soon finding themselves in a elevator going door. Bella had to refrain from snorting at the opera music that played. 'Well at least it's better than normal elevator music.' Bella thought musing to herself, as she relished in the fact that Edward was next to her again, holding her hand, to happy with this fact to care about the situation she found herself in.

Being to absorbed in her thoughts Bella barley snapped out of it when she noticed she was now standing before the three kings of the vampire world. Already knowing who was who from the painting in Carlisle's office, but she had so say they were more intimidating in real life.

"Ah Edward, so nice to see you, and your dear Bella, she's alive, how happy to see," Aro stated cheerfully, Bella had to bite her tongue to stop from snorting in amusement. Aro reached a hand forward towards Edward, who hesitantly put his hand in his. Bella watched the reaction curiously wondering what was going on.

Aro watched Edwards memories of what happened, before his gaze snapped to Bella, wondering where she came from to suddenly save Edward from behind him. Turning towards Bella he reached out his hands gesturing for her hand.

Bella raised an eyebrow curiously towards him, in silent question and to why she would give him her hand. "No need to worry dear. I am much like Edward I can read minds through a touch, only if I wanted I could see every memory you ever had. Please, May I?" He gestured again.

Knowing that she had no choice in the matter, but also knowing that unless she wanted he wouldn't see a damn thing, she laid her hand in his, waiting as he grasped her hands.

After a moment a smile broke out on his face. "Astonishing, simply amazing, it seems my power doesn't work on you either." He stated clapping his hands in joy, and he took several steps back towards his thrown. "I wonder if any of our powers work on you." A malice grin spread on his face. "Jane, would you be a dear?"

A bright smile spread on Jane's face and she gazed at Bella, "With Pleasure."

"NO." Edward growled out racing towards Jane, her gaze shifted quickly to Edward, the smile never leaving his face and she simply stated. "Pain." Edward crumpled to the ground an agonizing scream ripped from his throat. And Bella had to use every ounce of will she had not to race over to Jane and rip her head off.

In just a second later Edward's screaming stopped and he went limp, Jane's gaze turned back to Bella. "Now, This will hurt just a little." She stated, Bella resisting the urge to growl. After a waiting several moments Jane's grinned faltered and fell, and her eyes dashed to Aro.

Aro only smiled wider, and clapped happily, "Oh isn't this exciting."

"Aro, enough of your games, she knows too much. She can't me allowed to live." Aro's brother Caius stated glaring at me.

Aro's smile fell a little. "Yes I suppose your right. Felix." He gestured to Felix, one of the vampires behind Bella that brought her here, she turned to face him, and he started to move forward. Before Bella could act Edward was on his feet, flipping Bella over him, making her face the three kings again, and he raced forward to attack Felix.

Bella turned and for the next few minutes she watched as Edward and Felix fought, Felix the obviously better fighter, was winning. Before she knew it Edward was on his knees before the kinds, Felix's hands gripping Edwards face, as to rip his head off.

"No." Bella growled, no longer being able sit aside and watch, Edward get hurt. Bella felt the animalistic wolf side of her take over her mind, but refrained from shifting into her wolf form.

The blue ring in her eyes shifted and consumed her eyes, making the brown replace the blue ring, and the silver blue of her wolf eyes adorn her face. She felt her canines growing into sharp fangs like her wolf form, as a growl ripped through her throat, her nails grew into long sharp fine claws, her ears turned pointed. This semi-shift to her wolf form happening in a quick second, so fast that no one noticed.

Just after that split second she felt her eyes dilate, and she sprinted forward with her wolf speed appearing next to Felix in a flash. Her leg flew through the air, a golden shield rippled across her leg as she slammed her foot into the side of Felix's head.

In a second, he had released Edward, and was flying across the room, just before he landed Bella appeared above him and she kicked him across the chest again slamming him into the ground cracking the marble, making a small crater. Before he could move her clawed hand was gripping her neck her claws piercing the sides of his neck like human flesh, instead of the hard vampire marble, and she was lifting him off the ground until she held him just off the ground by his neck.

"Never touch my mate again." she hissed with such venom in her voice that everyone in the room shuddered. Before she tossed him across the room like a sack and he fell to the ground. Felix's hand gripping his neck, as he, and everyone in the room started at what they thought was just a weak human girl, in shock.

For a few moments no one moved, finally Edward snapped out of it standing and walking towards Bella until he stood before her. "Bella?"

Bella's gaze shifted up to meet Edwards, Gaining back control of her mind, her claws and fangs receded, and her ears returned to normal. And the blue in her eyes once again traded with the brown until the blue was once again just a ring around her eyes.

"Edward." She whimpered, looking at him frightfully, before looking to the floor unable to meet his gaze. "I'm so sorry Edward. I have kept things from you, and I shouldn't have. You once asked me why I was so willing to throw away my humanity, my soul. And the reason is, that while I may have never killed anyone and you didn't want me to be a monster like you, is well. I am already a monster. I was never afraid of you or your kind cause I feared something greater. Myself."

"I'll understand if you want nothing to do with me after this." She whimpered out.

"Oh Bella." He stated placing to figures beneath her chin forcing her to look up at him. "No matter what you are. I will always love you." He said kissing her softly, and pulling her into his arms.

So, Bella has Edward again, kicked a vampires ass, and revealed her powers in front of a power hungry vampire royalty, and while Edward still loves her, what's gonna happen with her, Edward, Alice, and the Volturri. Will they let them leave? Will they make Bella join the Volturri? Stay tuned for the next chapter...

A/N: Sorry I'm really hyper and for some reason wanted to end this chapter like some cheesy TV show where in every episode they leave you at a cliff hanger. N-e-Ways... I'll hopefully have the next chapter up soon.
