Chapter III

Chapter 3.

Emmett made his way to the couch before plopping himself in. He rubbed his hand over his face repeatedly.

"Isabella, who are you?" He asked

For some reason this angered me. How dare he come into my house, my town, and question me!

"That's a little unfair don't you think? I should be asking you that question."

"We are the Cullens" Alice replied for him.

"And your point?"

There was a pregnant pause where Alice and Emmett shared a look.

"Isabella, we are the reigning royals of the supernatural world. That includes, vampires, werewolves, wizards, witches, Emrynes, god damn it everything a human thinks is non-existent!" Emmett roared.

I suddenly gasped. Mother never told me about this before. We had royalty among our kind? I looked at them baffled. Was I supposed to kneel down? Praise them? What am I supposed to call them?

"I am Princess Alice Cullen of Whitlock, and my brother is Prince Emmett. My Father is King Carlisle, and my Mother is Queen Esme. Our Brother, Prince Edward, is first in line to the throne; he has been searching for his mate."

"I am sorry your highnesses, but what does all this have to do with me?" I asked timidly.

"You are Isabella Marie Swan a witch and a vampire. You have silver and green immortal blood running through your veins. You possess the knowledge of prophecies that your mother gave you before you died."

"How do you know so much about…" I asked, but I was cut off.

"Edward Anthony Cullen is your mate, and you have to come with us."

I stood there for the longest time contemplating what they said. Alice and Emmett solemnly looked at each other, speaking with their eyes.

"I will not go with you. I won't." I whispered. I was not ready for this; I just started living my life. This was too soon.

"The choice is not yours Isabella." Emmett spoke loudly breaking my chain of thought.

I shook my head. Emmett sighed and turned around. Alice plopped herself down and gestured at the door. I swiveled around and was met face to face with a girl with blonde hair and red eyes.

"Jane, how nice of you to meet us, where is your brothers, and Jasper?"

Jane's eyes immediately fell to the floor while she conjured up a small curtsy before answering the question.

"Alec is patrolling the area your highness, Demetri and Felix are guarding the house as we speak. Jasper is on his way." The girl replied, not once lifting her eyes from the floor. I was impressed at the amount of respect these people received.

Alice nodded smiling at the girl, before her eyes shifted to mine. "I hope you don't mind the extra guests Bella."

"Don't ... Don't call me that! We're not friends! I want everyone, Each and every one of you, out of my house, and out of my life. NOW!" I yelled at her pointing at the door.

Alice sighed and walked to the window.

"Jane. Continue." Alice said peering outside.

"We have all the time we need," Jane sang. Her voice was annoying- high pitched and squeaky.

"Like hell you do! Get the hell out of my house!" I screamed again. No one moved.

That's when I realized that it was over, I couldn't make them leave. I had to make myself leave.

I dashed outside and ran with all the speed I had into the forest, I heard Alice holler, and heard Jane chuckle. I also heard Emmet's reply, "They always run."

I ran with everything I had, I ran for my life.

"Isabella, Stop." A voice called out to me. I gasped, that sounded almost like…

"Mother?" I asked.

"Yes Darling, Now stop." She replied.

"Why should I!" I yelled into the air, shocked that she chose this moment to come and talk to me.

"Because darling, you've got nowhere to go! This is your destiny. You have to face it head strong!"

"No! I haven't lived yet Mama! I don't want to go yet!"

I heaved sobs as I ran as fast as I could away from everything, even my mom's patronizing voice.

"Bella! Don't you get it? Its time!"

"Not if I have to say something about it."

"Bella. There's nowhere you can go. They got you cornered. It's your destiny darling. You can't run away from it."

I ignored her and continued running, and I didn't hear from mother again. When I finally stopped I looked back the way I came. No one. See I told you mother. I knew I could make it.

"Up here Isabella," A voice sounded above me. I slowly looked up, and the last thing I saw was a man with blonde hair coming down on me. I felt a painful jab strike my head and I fell into darkness.

-OO-

When I awoke, I was in a bright room artfully decorated. A strange pounding was slowly dulling in my head, and I instinctively raised a hand to it.

I looked down and saw that I was dressed in a plain green gown and silver shoes. I closed my eyes again and tried to clear my thoughts.

What happened?

Where was I?

I groaned as the sunlight filtered into the room and turned to my side. I heard someone's voice on the other side of the door and I sat up instantly.

The door that seemed to be made with rich oak, and a diamond encrusted handle opened to reveal a woman.

Suddenly everything from the previous morning came rushing back to me.

I hissed at the familiar woman who entered my room.

"Alice," I croaked, immediately getting into an attack posture.

"Bella, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." Alice said coming towards me.

I raised my eyebrow at her and raised a hand to my head.

"Well that's my fault, sorry in advance Isabella." A tall man with golden hair said. He was dressed impeccably in a shirt and dress pants. His eyes were a stormy blue. Not red, not golden brown, but blue. Again I failed to understand the eye thing. He came to Alice and wrapped his arms around her small frame, resting his chin on top of her head.

I glared at him, backing away. I didn't trust him. I mean how could I? This man just knocked me out, a Vampire! I didn't know that was possible!

"Hey Jasper," Alice replied turning a little to give him a kiss.

"Hi baby. Still not ready is she?" Jasper asked Alice.

Alice looked at me with a sad expression and shook her head. "I just hope she learns her place quickly and accepts everything before Edward arrives."

"Something tells me that that is going to be a tedious job. She's feisty."

I glared at the two as they exchanged their conversation as If I wasn't there.

"I'm right here you know!" I hollered.

"Hmm you're right. She's feisty." Alice mused.

"Edward's going to have fun with this one." The blonde replied.

I huffed at them and stalked to the window and gazed outside.

"I'm Jasper by the way!" the man hollered at my retreating back.

I really wanted to turn around and give him the bird, but instead I ignored him.

I heard shuffling feet behind me before the door shut close.

"Bella, you need to learn your place in all of this. The disrespect you are showing us would have any other man or woman at their feet, feeling torture to the point of death."

"Why me?" I asked, ignoring her.

Alice sighed and came up to me, rubbing my shoulders.

"You are his destiny, and as far as I can tell it's going to be a rough one, but you can't live without him Bella. It's impossible. Bella-"

"Don't call me that. We're not friends… Princess," I said, adding the last part to show how different we really were.

Alice shook her head slightly and sat on the bed.

"We'll be best friends Isabella, you will see." She whispered.

"And how do you know that?" I snorted.

"I can tell the future."

I looked at her, shocked, "Really?"

"I've been able to since I was born."

"Oh," was my brilliant reply.

Alice looked up at me and suddenly blanked out.

"Alice?" I asked poking her shoulders. She was silent for the longest time, and I got worried. What do I do now?

"He's here. He's earlier than I expected him! Stupid... stupid..." She suddenly hollered, making me yelp and fall to the floor at her sudden outburst.

"What the hell Alice!" I asked, picking myself up.

Alice turned to me and told me to shut the hell up. She then quickly told me that Edward was here, and I had to respect him, look at the floor until he asks me to look at him. I had to call him you're highness, your grace, my lord, or whatever along those lines. And I had to be respectful. Failure to do so would result in punishment.

I swear it sounded like she was explaining to a two year old.

Alice snapped her fingers and two girls quickly came in and fixed the room before standing behind me. Alice took her place beside me and smiled at the door.

"Eyes lowered Isabella," she warned.

Suddenly, the doors opened to reveal a man dressed impeccably from head to toe in a black, before I could reach his face, I felt a sharp jab at my side and immediately lowered my gaze. I felt Alice leave my side to give the man a kiss on his cheeks and a warm hug before leaving the room. I desperately wanted to call out to her, but instead I stared at the floor while the man approached me. He stopped right in front of me and I continued staring at the floor. I was able to see his shoes though. They were expensive, and probably tailor made.

"This is her?" He asked, his voice holding so much authorities and control it made even me shiver. This was not a man to cross.

I heard the girl whimper beside me before nodding her head.

"SPEAK UP!" he demanded, and the poor girl jumped in fright.

"Y-y-yes my L-lord" she quivered.

I could feel his eyes on me as he circled me like a hawk about to catch it's pray.

The room was eerie silent as he assessed me, I felt like he was checking every flaw that I held… if there was any. I felt naked under his gaze.

He stopped in front of me, and I was met with his expensive shoes again.

"Look at me," He demanded.

I lifted my face to him, still keeping my eyes lowered.

I felt his hands under my chin and lift my face even more up until I was forced to meet his eyes.

His eyes, oh they were beautiful. So green, like an emerald jewel sparkling in the sun.

When I took his face in, the breath whooshed out of my lungs.

My god, he was beautiful, so handsome it hurt to look at him. He had tousled bronze hair, a strong jaw that looked sharp enough to cut glass, high cheekbones, and everything about him was perfect. He was gorgeous.

I had never seen a man like him in my existence. He assessed my face without letting any emotion show.

I started to feel insecure about myself; I started to feel so low under his gaze. A beautiful man like him can never be my mate; I can never be his destiny. They must have made a mistake.

"Leave." he ordered to the room, and in a flash everyone was gone, and it was only the two of us.

I looked up at him and we stared at each other, a smirk started making its way through his luscious lips

"Isabella."

"My Lord," I whispered as I was told to.

His smirk became even more pronounced. He swooped down to kiss my cheeks, and I felt the heat that it left there.

"I heard you tried to escape," Edward said, turning around and walking to the windows.

"You should have never done that. You are mine, are you not aware of that?"

I was his? The nerve! Anger started bubbling underneath my skin. How dare he. He spoke to me as if I was his property. I don't like being taken ownership of.

"With all due respect your highness, I had every right to run away."

"Oh?" he questioned, rubbing something between his fingers. He shifted his gaze to mine, "I would have found you anywhere you went Isabella. I have time on my hands. What did you think you could have done running away?"

"I would have hid!" I yelled at him, my hands forming fists at my side.

I saw anger flash in his eyes before he calmed himself, "Ever heard of the phrase, you can run but you can never hide?" he asked.

"I am an excellent hider," I responded with venom, "If you just leave me alone, I'll go without a second thought!"

Suddenly I was being pinned against the wall, my body caught between the hard stone and his hard body. He was so fast; even I didn't see it coming. I sucked in my breath as he leaned into me.

"Listen carefully Isabella, you will NOT run away, you will NOT hide from me ever again." He hissed into my ear. I shivered as I tried to push him off, but he held strong. I tried to turn my head away from him, but he slammed his hands on either sides of my face. He glared at me before speaking again.

"You want to know why?" he asked. I shook my head, scared at this point. I mean who wouldn't be? This was the most powerful man standing in front of me. Edward bent down so he could speak in my ear "Because I OWN you." He completed. I gasped at his words anger bubbling up in my blood again. But my anger was short lived, for I felt lips at my neck. I hissed in a breath and tried to move away from his touch, but he held me trapped. He moved his lips to my jaw and I let out a moan because damn it, it felt so good. When he reached my lips he growled before he kissed me fiercely on my lips, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth and grazing his teeth over it. His sweet taste filled my senses engulfing me in tenderness and dominance. Before I knew what was happening I had kissed him back. I wrapped my hands around his hair and tugged him closer to me, he grabbed my hips and I shamelessly swung my left leg around his body holding onto him. I felt his smirk against my lips and I mentally rolled my eyes. He had more ego than anyone I've ever known. I lost track of though when I felt his tongue lick my bottom lip, I instantly opened my mouth for him and let his tongue enter me.

Pure Bliss. That's what it was.

When his hand started getting braver I snapped into reality, I pushed him off, and he stumbled back a step. He smirked at me and cockily lifted his thumb to his lips and wiped it. God damn it if that weren't the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

I glared at him and stalked away from him, trying to put distance between us, so you know, I wouldn't do something stupid , like maybe you know, jump him.

"We would be sharing more than this after the wedding Isabella. And I don't take 'No' for an answer, sweetheart." He said leaning against the desk.

"Awe so said, his highness has never been denied anything. It's an honour to be your first sire," I said mocking a curtsy.

Edward laughed his eyes full of promise, "I don't know about that Isabella, but I will indeed be your first." He said, innuendo lacing it.

I gasped, that cockily little bastard.

"Fuck you," I hissed at him.

His eyes darkened and anger again stormed his eyes, but it was replaced as quickly as it came with a smug expression. "Believe me darling, I sure tend to." He said before walking out.

I gaped at him, my mouth opening and closing.

OH he has some nerve! Strolling in here, claiming me, and UGH.

I will never give in to him ever again.

I huffed and stomped around the room trying to release my anger. Alice stepped into the room and let out a huge breath.

"Well that went well," she said placing the package she had on the bed.

I gave her the stink eyes and sat down on the bed, poking the package.

"What the hell is that?" I asked trying to open it; Alice smacked my hand away and scowled at me.

"That is your lingerie." Alice replied, "And no, you cannot see it beforehand."

I tried to scorch the paper with my invisible heat ray vision. Hah, no such luck.

Alice rolled her eyes and called for a few women. Witches... They came in and transformed my room into a grand washroom. Alice informed that I was to be bathed and prepared for dinner. I glowered at all of them while they prepared the tub. Did they think I was incapable of taking care of myself?

I was picked at and prodded, lathered, and bathed. I splashed the mean woman on my right and kicked the bitch at my left. They eventually threatened to call his royal Highass Edward in here. That shut me up, I knew he wouldn't mind my naked state in a tub, and there was no hell was I going to give him the satisfaction.

The second I was out of the tub I was hauled out by nymphs. No joke, nymphs. They were dressed in a pretty decent dress, but it hugged their amazing figure. They sat me in front of a mirror and got work at my makeup and hair. After two hours of pulling and prodding and violating me with the makeup brush and the hot curler, they deemed I was perfect, and set the package Alice arrived with earlier, down. I rolled my eyes and opened it, what I saw inside made me recoil.

What. The. Fuck.

They were lacy, skimpy, and see through. Least to say it hid nothing.

"ALICE!" I screamed, outraged. I don't think I have ever worn undergarments this scandalous.

The nymphs rolled their eyes and giggled, before hauling me into the divider and thrusting the offending pieces of clothing in my hand.

The nympho told me I had two options. I could suck it all up and put them on, or I could go commando.

I argued with her telling her it wouldn't make a difference, but I was ignored.

I had no choice but to put on the garments, and no later I did so, I was hauled out and shoed into a deep blue dress that filtered like water over my body. It was a ball gown with a pleated skirt and a ruffled side.

Once I was deemed ready I was dropped off in front of two heavenly doors with guards, they held nothing in their hand, but when I took in a breath I could smell their natural essence. They were werewolves.

I tried making convo with the guards but they just stood in front of the doors looking past me. I rolled my eyes. That must be a boring job.

They suddenly opened the doors and I was told to walk, and I did. I walked along the royal blue carpet into a narrow hallway. After a few minutes I got bored of walking and started staring at the artwork on the walls. There was one painting of a blonde man wrapped in a royal cloak, and there was another one of a lovely lady with chestnut brown hair and a kind smile. She was dressed in a medieval gown of sorts and holding a simple white rose. There was one of them together in what I supposed to be their wedding day. And then there were several ones with them in different eras. Then the lovely lady was holding a baby and underneath it was a small scripture in a language I didn't understand. There was another picture with two more kids and each had a joining hallway below the pictures, and a new carpet color lit the way. I contemplated going in, but decided against it, there was time for snooping later. I surveyed the walls and then I heard a loud crack. I swiveled my head towards my left and saw a few guards looking at me. I waved at them and walked forward.

"You're late My Lady. They are waiting inside," The man on the right said.

I nodded once at him and hastily made my way through the doors. And there they were, sitting along a rich long table, staring at me with patient eyes.

My eyes however, didn't train on their lovely face for too long, they immediately found His Royal Highass, Edward. He smirked at me and raked his eyes up and down my body to a point where I almost felt naked. I glowered at him and his smirk grew on to a full blown grin. He got up from his place at the table and pulled out the chair beside him. I honestly considered ignoring his gesture and sitting on the chair next to Jasper. My gaze flickered to the spot and back to Edward, as if he read my mind he narrowed his eyes and glowered at me. I could almost hear a 'Don't even think about it' coming out from his thoughts. Almost. My gaze shifted to the various faces and decided I should save him the trouble. I trudged my way to my spot beside Edward and sat down.

There was a long silence and I could feel everyone's gazes on me.

"So this is Isabella, you're mate, Edward?" The beautiful woman in the portraits asked.

"Yes, yes she is." Edward said wrapping his hands around my shoulders.

MERRY CHRISTMAS =)
