DC: Richard- "Say it human girl-child…"

Me- "Make me Dick! ... OH SHIT!" *Runs from Richard who is chasing me*

Richard- "You know I hate that nickname!" *Pounces on me*

Me- "Ok, ok! I own nothing but the plot! …And Dick…" *Looks at Richard with a smirk*

Richard- *Sighs* "Fine. What the fuck ever floats your boat…"

Now! On to the chapter my dearies!

BPOV:

I stared at Edward. Really? He was doing this shit with me now? Richards hold on me had tightened when Edward had asked his question and had continued to tighten as we stared at each other.

"Richard!" I said sharply when it became uncomfortable. He looked up at me and I raised my eye brow at him.

"My apologies my dear," He said as he pulled my face down to his. He lightly brushed his lips across mine before exhaling slowly. I chuckled knowing exactly what he was doing. The touch and scent of one's sire could calm and relax a vampire. He let go of me with a mumbled promise to intervene if needed. I stood and walked to Edward. He looked at me apprehensively. That's right mother fucker. You should be worried! I heard Tony in my mind and couldn't help but agree and crack a smile. Edward cleared his throat and turned towards the door. Just when he was about to open it Alice gave a gasp, Richard snarled, and I was thrown backwards as Edward spun and moved me away from the door. A black haze fell over my eyes making the room and people within look like they were grey. I crouched and let loose a string of vicious snarls and growls. The vampires who were threatening me all froze.

Good, my inner monster whispered to me, they should be afraid.

I felt the air pressure change and launched myself at the door just as it opened. The vampire in the door didn't show surprise when I collided with him nor did he try to defend himself. I hovered over his still form snarling with venom dripping down my chin. Slowly I came back in control as my inner monster realized there was no threat to me or my loved ones. I blinked and the black haze lifted from my eyes. I stood abruptly and shook my head a little. I stepped away from the familiar form on the ground, backing away until I bumped into someone. Richard's stone arms circled my waist and pulled me into his chest while his chin dropped to my shoulder.

"What are you doing here Ryder?" Richard growled lowly as the man finally pulled himself off the ground and looked around. He chuckled and shook his head.

"I'm merely here to say hello to some old friends. I just arrived at Volterra today and Aro told me you were here. I thought I'd stop by," Ryder seemed to be completely at ease but I knew better. He turned to look at me and his eyes slowly slid from my face to my left hand. A frown creased his face as he didn't find what he was looking for. I snickered mischievously at the look on his face. He looked up at me again before his face smoothed over.

"So what set you off Bella?" He asked me with a smug grin. I glared at him before giving a huff.

"You did you son of a bitch's whore," I snarled harshly. His grin dropped and it was his turn to glare at me now.

"Now that was not very nice," he chided me softly. I snarled trying to break free of Richards embrace.

"Bella…" Richard tried to shush me.

"No! I told you! I never wanted to see you again!" I struggled harder, snarling in my attempt to charge Ryder and rip his head from his body. I was close to losing control again.

"Isabella! That is no way to talk to your husband!" At Kara's outburst everyone turned to stare between me and my 'husband'.

"This...this thing," I sneered while glaring at him, "is no husband of mine!" Ryder winced at my accusation and Kara flitted to his side. I knew she'd always had a soft spot for him but I thought that after what he tricked me into doing she would have been on my side. I was pulled back into my memories of that night 300 years ago.

~~Flashback~~

I screamed, pushing with all that I had.

"That's it Bella! Push! Our baby girls almost out! Come on!" Ryder held my hand allowing me to squeeze. I screamed once more and then heard the wails of my new born daughter. I would have cried in happiness had I been able to. Ryder's hand slipped from mine but I was still in pain and exhausted so I didn't look to see what he was doing.

"Bella," he whispered coming back to my side. He held our daughter in his arms looking at her with a blank expression. I reached my arms for her but he stepped back. I frowned.

"Ryder… Let me see her."

"Bella," he paused,"it's not a girl." His whisper confused me. When we had found out I could have children nearly 100 years prior we thought I was only able to have girls. So what did Ryder mean 'it's not a girl'?

"What do you mean?"

"It's a boy… Bella he won't live long," Ryder said quietly, "maybe we should just end his life now before he has to suffer…" I stared at Ryder in horror. He wanted to kill our son? It didn't sound right and in later years after I finally came back to myself from the grief I realized Ryder had tricked me into killing our son. At least he hadn't killed my baby girl. Richard and Tony helped me convince her that Ryder was evil and we all left him behind.

~~End Flashback~~

I stared into the eyes of my 'husband' and our daughter.

"Kara…" I whispered brokenly, my eyes welling up with unshed tears.
