Bella's POV-

~~~~~~~~~~

I lean against Edward's chest and sigh in content, a lot of weight has been lifted off my shoulders, I feel lighter, more relaxed, the guilt, the pain, the sorrow has left me and drifted away, for the first time in 462 years, I feel happy, peaceful, loved.

A twig snaps behind us, I growl defensively, turning around I see my family and the Denali's, well this isn't awkward.

'Did they hear?' I ask in my head, Edward shakes his head; I exhale, only just realizing I had been holding my breath. A few seconds of silence pass, I speak up first.

"Well... Now you know what I am," I smile nervously, rubbing the back of my neck.

"How did you just disappear like that, and Edward?" Elazar questions.

"I'm a shield cousin, but it has different abilities," I look down at my feet to avoid my parents and siblings eyes.  A pair of hands snake around my waist, I turn my head to see Edward, I smile weakly at him.

I can just turn invisible and escape, but that would make them angry, Edward pulls me closer against his side, "Don't run," he whispers against my ear. He rubs the nape of my neck, it calms me, along with Jasper's gift

I glare at him playfully; he knows I hate it when he controls my emotions. Jasper abruptly stops, he fears me, they're afraid of me, no! You're not supposed to be scared of me!

I wrap my telepathic shield around Elazar to see what he has told them, the answer causes me to growl.  "You told them what?" I hiss, pulling forward, Edward releases me in shock, I walk towards Elazar, he backs away, holding his hands out, shielding himself.

"N-Nothing," he lies, don't lie, I already know.

"You told them I was dangerous, that I was taking advantage of them, that they should kill me at the first chance they got-" I start to walk towards the Cullen's, they back away like Elazar, cowards.

"And you believed them!" my anger is rising ever second, I have to release it something, rather than someone, I punch one if the oak trees, timber!

I flinch as it hits the ground, I'm strong... "D-Don't hurt us," Rose pleads, I'm scaring them, aren't I?

"Never, those... myths," I growl, glancing at Elazar, but continue in a soft voice "Are just that, myths, not real, made up, a horror story you could say, look, if I wanted to kill you, I would of done it as soon as you found me, but I didn't, I trusted you, I loved you, and you loved me," I barely whisper the last part.

"We still do!" everyone shouts, well, nearly everyone.

"I know you do, and I love you back, but you have knocked my trust in you, it may be a while before you gain that back, but, it's never too early to start," I smile and open up my arms, they embrace me, "Okay guys, y-you're choking me,"

They release me, Emmett being the last one to let go.

"I assume you have questions?" Everyone nods eagerly, apart from Tanya, who's still giving me a look of death, can't she just give up already? I ignore her, peeing her off more, I chuckle and follow my family back to the house.

Edward sits down on the couch; I sit down on his lap, leaning against his chest.

"Tanya," he murmurs against my ear, I look over to her, she's glaring at me, yet again, I bite my lip in order not to smile.

"It's working," I reply mentally to him.

"Are you immortal like us?" Carlisle asks the first question.

"Yes, but unlike you, I can't be killed, not even by another of my species, not that there is another part human, vampire and angel creature," this got depressing...

Their faces say 'shock'  "No one can kill you?" Emmet gawks, his jaw dropped.

I giggle, "No, I can't ever be killed, but I can return to heaven if I wish to, oh and Emmet, close your mouth, you don't want to be catching flies," His mouth snaps closed making us all laugh, all except Tanya who instead gazes at Edward, lust in her eyes.

I hiss, if she dares to lay a finger on him, I swear I'll kill her. Edward massages my shoulders, feeling my tense posture. He rubs his hands up and down my arms in attempts to soothe me, It helps.

A little.

The night carries on like that, with Tanya giving me death glares but only to gaze at Edward with weird, creepy looking, gooey eyes, the rest continued to question me until Elazar butted in saying that if I was part human I would need sleep, I guess he saw my drowsy face, I mouth a 'thank you' in his direction as Edward carries me upstairs, bridal style.

Take that Tanya.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edward's POV-

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I bring Bella upstairs and place her down on the bed; I tuck her in and lay beside her, she cuddles up to me and falls asleep.

I'm lying on my back when I hear the door creak open, just by the scent I know its Tanya, and the scent isn't too nice.

Who am I kidding? It makes me gag. I prop myself up on my elbows and give her a slightly pissed off look.

"What do you want?" I snap, reminded myself to be quiet as Bella stirs.

"Nothing!" she replies instantly, a fake innocent look plastered on her face, I see right through her. Tanya's going to lure me outside and kiss me, in hopes that I would find true feelings for her and I would leave Bella to be with my 'soul mate'.

Ah, the perks of telepathy, "I think I'll stay here Tan,"

She walks over and kneels on the edge of the bed "What are you doing? Tanya," my voice is hard, cold and harsh, a low growl rumbles from my chest as she creeps forward.

Tanya jumps in surprise "What do you want?" I almost shout.

"N-nothing," she stammers, this is just pathetic.

"Well would you mind getting out?" I say through gritted teeth. Her eyes widen and she begins to fumble around, she staggers out the door, closing it behind her, finally.

I lie back down and wrap my arms around Bella, I kiss her forehead and she begins moving around, after a while of fidgeting she has her head rested on my chest and her legs wrapped around mine.

"You comfortable?" I chuckle, she nods sleepily and sighs.

I love the sound of her heart, I love the sound of her breathing, I love her scent, I love her.

It was 6:59, I watched the seconds tick by, as the second hand reached 12, and the hour turned to 7, Bella began stirring and woke, It amazed me how she woke up the at the same time every day, without anything to wake her.

"Edward?" She asked rubbing her eyes and sitting up.

"Yes Bells," I replied, still lying down, the place on my chest where her head had been laid was still tingling.

"Uh... Where's the bathroom?" She was rubbing her forehead, she looked slightly worried.

I'll show you, why?

She just looked at me and said, "Lady Problems," I knew what she meant, especially after looking under the covers. A pool of red stained the bed sheets. Periods.

"Bella it's okay, I'll go get Alice," she raised an eyebrow at me and her eyes trailed down to my legs then back up to my eyes, I smiled the famous crooked smile that I knew she loved, right on cue, Alice burst into the room, With a bag full of... Lady products, she gave me a look that said, 'Get out,' I sighed and walked downstairs. Immediately regretting it as I noticed the path of red on my shorts. Only a tiny amount.

But we're vampires, we can see anything.

"Crap," I whispered under my breath, everyone looked up and down me until Emmet spoke,

"Didya get in a fight?" he asked a smug tone in his voice.

"No...I replied," refusing to look him in the eye. He started to clap, "Eddie boy, Got. It. On."

"Wait, What? No Emmet, no, no, no,,"

"Come on Eds, nothing to be afraid of, tell your little brother what happened,"

I growled, "Nothing happened!"

"Then why are you covered in blood?"

"Bella-" before I could answer Alice and Bella entered the room, Alice saved me by saying three very simple words that made them all shut up,

"Bella started today," after she spoke they all carried on with their business.

I was mesmerized, "How-Wha-Whe- How did you do that?" she just tapped her temple and skipped over to Jasper, Bella laughed at my gawping face, I loved her laugh, "Let's get you cleaned up," before I could protest she was pulling me up the stairs, how Alice used to, and still does with her.

Bella handed me a light grey short sleeved top, black skinny jeans and a black leather jacket with black converses, I eyed it but she shoved me into the bathroom, There was no escape, Bella had sealed all the windows and was standing behind the door.

I sighed and reluctantly undressed out of the stained clothes, quickly showered and dressed into the new ones, when I opened the door Bella was sat on the bed, wearing a white spaghetti top, and some black shorts, very short shorts.. A little too high if you ask me, but I know Alice made her buy it, and she was wearing black converses like me.

I linked arms with her and we walked downstairs, Tanya gave Bella a hateful glare but stopped as I hissed, she smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.
