BPOV:
"Bella their almost here, Jannie and I will go ahead and go to the airport to make sure everything's ready for us to leave, we will meet you there." I heard Demetri say.
"Thanks Demetri we will be there shortly." Katie was now going to be a part of my life I was going to treat her like my own. I could not bear it if she ended up in some orphanage when she could have the chance to have a mother. I glanced out my window and I could see them pulling up in Jacob's car I knew Jacob would not get down we had said our goodbye's already.
The human was walking toward my house with Katie fast asleep in his arms. In seconds I was at my front door ready to greet them.
"Please come in" he was even more handsome than I remembered. It was obvious he had cleaned up, he was dressed in black and had his wet hair tied into a ponytail.
"I'm glad to see you're not hurt." He said to me.
"I told you I would be fine, come you can put Katie down in my old room." He set her down gently and then turned and faced me.
"Will you tell me your name now?" I asked.
"Ian Grey." The name fit him perfectly. I had this huge urge to kiss him but I didn't.
I had to know what he thought of me first. Did he see me as a monster? Was he repulsed by me?
"Bella Volturi."
"I thought I hear that Laurent guy call you Bella Swan."
"That was the old Bella, the human Bella. Let's go talk in the living room I don't want to wake Katie up." We both sat on the couch very close to each other.
"I want to thank you for saving me from Laurent I wasn't ready to die, I still have big responsibilities." He said taking my hands in his and stroking them with his thumb.
"Your welcome, how did you end up in that situation?"
"I had just gotten home from the hospital I was on my way up to my room when I heard something in the backyard I thought it might be some sort of animal so I went outside to check it out next think I know I'm being dragged into the woods by Laurent."
"Is Katie part of your family? Aside from the eyes you two look alike." I asked him.
"No, I just met her in the woods." too bad I wanted to know about her family.
"Tell me about yourself Bella, I never thought vampires existed."
"My story is a painful one and is something I do not wish to think or talk about."
"You don't have to tell me everything I just want to know something about you.
For example how do you know that family that was there?"
"They are a very important part of my past that I don't want to discuss but I will tell you a few things. I was changed on my nineteenth birthday I've been a vampire for 175 years now. I live in a castle in Volterra, Italy we are the royal family of our kind. I came to forks with the purpose to get revenge for my father's death."
"I'm sorry about that I know what it's like to loose your parent's but let's not talk about things that are only going to depress us even more. So you're taking Katie to Italy, won't she get hurt? I mean you seem like a nice person but aren't their others like Laurent?"
"If it where any other human yes it would be dangerous but with Katie it will be different everyone will know she is my daughter and no-one will dare touch her but in any case my powers will protect her. I want her to have a happy life and take her away from all these bad memories, Volterra is a beautiful place I'm positive she will love it."
"I wish I could go with you…I feel like I can't live without you"
"You could come if you wanted too…." I wanted him to come I wanted him with me all the time!
"But I'm human…"
"I could change you I might have to anyway."
"What do you mean?"
"We have a rule that when a human finds out about our kind they have two choices, be killed or be changed."
"You would do that Bella? You would kill me?"
"No….I would never make you one of us if you didn't wish it I would let you live."
"Wouldn't that bring consequences for you?"
"Don't worry about that I can handle it."
"I wish I could Bella believe me….but like I said I have responsibilities here."
"Tell me Ian I want to know more about you."
"I'm twenty-three my parents died in a car accident when I was seventeen and left me and my baby sister orphans. Yes we had money but I couldn't touch it until I was eighteen, for a year my sister and I stayed with my parent's friends I got a job and
finished high school. When I turned eighteen I became Serena's legal guardian. Everything was great we moved back into our old house and the bond between us grew more and more every day until two months ago. I got a call form Serena's school saying
she had collapsed and was taken to the hospital, when I got there the doctors told me that my little sister had a brain tumor and that she only had about 5 months to live...she's only six.. I can't leave my little sister Bella she only has three months left."
"Ian I completely understand of course you can't leave your sister. I'm sorry you are going trough this I wish there was something I could do to help… just think she will be in a better place soon without any pain.. she will be with your parents."
"Thank you Bella you're a great person or vampire….whatever your just great." we both laughed.
~God she's amazing she's so beautiful I wish I could be with her forever. I never believed in love at first sight but I guess I was just proven wrong. I can't stop looking at her she takes my breath away. I want to make her mine and never let her go. He gave me a light peck and then ran his tongue along my bottom lip making me moan…
he kissed my upper lip and then bit my lower one, I gave him access to my mouth and our
tongues met… God he tasted amazing there was no doubt that he knew what he was
doing.
~She tastes incredible I can't believe I'm kissing this goddess. Our kiss became more heated and I found my self surprised when I was straddling him and his hands were roaming my back. "Bella if you want to stop I would understand…" "No" was he kidding this felt amazing I wanted his hands all over my body.. I wanted to feel his body against mine in sweet ecstasy. I pulled back and looked him in the eyes and gave him a smile, that's all he needed to know I kissed him and he returned the kiss with equal passion I could feel him hardening already and knew he would loose control soon. My desire was increasing and could feel the heat coming from both our bodies.
"Make me yours Ian…" We lost ourselves in our passion it wasn't like me to do something like this but somehow
it felt right. We made love three times the first time was sweet and comfortable he was
getting to know my body it's what I felt when I made love with Edward. The second time
was hot and animalistic the kind of sex I had with Demetri but the third time was more
memorable… it was as if two souls had been reunited… no one had ever made me feel
that way there was so much passion in our love making that for the first time in my life I
felt complete. We got dressed and were standing at my door.. I didn't want to say
goodbye.
"Do you regret it Bella?" he asked with fear in his voice.
"Never Ian" I gave him a reassuring smile. He took off his ring and placed it on my palm.
"Don't forget me Bella." The ring was too big and it didn't fit on my fingers so I grabbed
my necklace and put the ring on it and locked it back around my neck.
"I promise I won't…here take my car" I said giving him the keys
"How will you get to the airport?"
"Don't worry about that? This just means that one day you will have to give me back my
keys." I said with a smile "I promise you will get your keys back one day my Goddess." We kissed and hugged one last time.
"Goodbye Bella, don't forget me…"
"Goodbye Ian be safe and stay strong."
Jane / Demetri POV
"Do you believe them Bella?"
"I want too Jacob, I really do but I can't…why set myself up for more misery and pain? I can't trust them what if another problem came up and they chose to leave again I don't think I could handle that. I don't know what to think but either way I won't let them back in my life. What do you think?"
"I honestly don't know Bella but for what it's worth I really did think the Cullen's loved you and if it's true that they left for your own good then I bet they suffered too it's hard to leave someone you love."
"Jacob I'm sorry I've been away all this time I honestly thought you where dead."
"Jane do you think Bella will bring that human with her?"
"I don't know Demetri it seems like she connected with him so I wouldn't be surprised. Why?"
"Just wondering I don't want to see her get hurt."
"Oh please Demetri you and I both know that you're completely in love with her.
"That's ridicules Jane! Bella and I are best friends so is just natural that I look out for her."
"Keep lying to yourself Demetri but if you love her do something about it otherwise you might never get the chance too ever again." ~ I don't love her she's just my best friend who I happen to sleep with once in a while nothing else! We look out for another is what best friends do! I don't love her…..
Bella's POV:
After Ian left I went to check on Katie she was still sleeping, I noticed that she still had her dirty clothes…I guess she fell asleep before she could have a bath. I went to the attic and opened the drunk that had all my baby clothes, I found a beautiful blue dress that she could wear to meet Aro but for now I had to find some pajamas.
"Let's see puppies or hearts?"
"Mommy?" I heard a little cry from my room in seconds I was beside her.
"Hi Katie remember me?"
"Bella you're here!"
"Of course I am I promised you I would be silly." She gave me a little giggle.
"Is the bad man gone?"
"Yes and he is never coming back."
"Good! Bella, can you be my new mommy?"
"Only if you want me to be…"
"YES! Can I call you mommy?"
"Of course you can"
"I'm gonna miss my mommy and daddy…the bad man said he killed them..is that true?" she asked with tears in her eyes.
"Yes baby it is…but don't worry cause your mommy and daddy are in heaven now with all the angels."
"Come on baby let's give you a bath and then we can go home."
I placed her on the tub and began to wash her hair she was playing with the rubber ducks I had brought out. "Mommy, what are you?" her question took me by surprise but I wasn't going to lie to my daughter.
"I'm a vampire… do you know what that is?"
"Yes, they are mean and they kill people like mommy and daddy" oh boy….
"Yes some are mean but some are not. Do you think I'm mean?"
"NO MOMMY! You made the bad man go away. Daddy always said there was bad people and good people is that true about vampire too?" this kid is way to smart.
"Katie how old are you?"
"Six! But mommy always said I was very smart!" she giggled.
"Yes you are…and yes it's like that with vampires too some are good and some are bad."
"Are their going to be any bad vampire's in our new home?"
"Katie there's bad people in all the world but I promise I will never let any of them hurt you."
"Pinkie swear?" she asked holding her pinkie out.
"Pinkie swear" I said locking my pinkie with hers. We finished her bath and she picked out the puppies pajamas. I dried her hair and she asked for two braids. My daughter looked adorable.
"Mommy I'm sleepy…" she said with a yawn.
"Go to sleep baby next time you wake up we will be on a plane to our castle."
"Castle! Like a princess?"
"Yes just like a princess" she fell asleep with a smile on her face. I teleported us to the jet were Jane and Demetri where waiting for us.
"No human boy Bella?" asked Jane
"No Jane just Katie and I… Demetri please let them know we can take off now."
We've been in the air for over nine hours now and both Jane and Demetri have yet to ask me anything. Katie woke up ate a lot, played with Demetri who she officially named her boyfriend and Jane her new best friend and went back to sleep. Demetri just stared at me with a smile on his face.
"What Demetri?"
"Nothing babe..but I guess you got yours huh?" he said with laughter in his voice.
"Yea Bella we can practically smell him all over you."
I told them all about my time with Ian and what I had spoken with Katie and understood I was in no joking mood. We all kept to our selves for the rest of the flight. I thought about the Cullen's I didn't love them but for some reason I didn't hate them either… could I
really forgive them one day? They would have to kiss a lot of ass for that to happen and make me trust them again but that would mean spending time with them and I don't think I want that. Then there's Jacob, if he did love me then I was scared to hurt my best
friend…What about Katie, could I really raise her around this life? Will she hate me for it when she's older? And then Ian…I don't know what to feel for him I know I don't regret my time with him but then why do I feel like I betrayed someone…why do I feel guilty?
"Babe where here…"
