Author’s Notes: Yay! I have ratings! I would love a review or two. So here’s hoping xx
Part Six
Bella POV
The house was almost the same as I remembered it. It was just missing some of the personal items. I imagined that although most of the furniture remained here their bedrooms were a little more empty. It didn’t actually surprise me that most of the furnishings remained here. If they really were the same coven from the Quillette legends then they probably came and went several times over the years, just with big enough gaps so that no one would remember them. I guess they just packed up their personal belongings and took them with them. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was still clothes in all the wardrobes either.
Alice ran to hug me the moment I came through the door. Even Jasper had given me a very brief hug. He still looked uncomfortable around me though. I saw a light on in the kitchen and moments later Esme came out to embrace me. She hugged me tightly and kissed my cheek.
“We’re so glad you’re alright, Bella.” She said. I saw Carlisle coming down the stairs. He smiled warmly.
“Welcome Bella.” He said. “It’s good to see you again.” I felt a something wash over me. I warm loving feeling. I briefly wondered if it was Jasper but then I realised it was the feeling of being here, with the Cullens...like we were one big happy family. Although that wasn’t exactly true, it felt real enough.
“It’s good to see all of you as well.” I said. “This is a surprise.”
“Well Esme and I arrived back about an hour ago. Rosalie and Emmet will be here in a few days I think. They were living separate for a little while.” He explained.
“They were having some alone time.” Esme added. I blushed slightly understanding exactly what she meant.
Edward had allowed me to greet everyone else until now. He came up behind me and put his arms around me. I wanted to shiver from his coldness and sigh from the comfort. I had missed this.
We all sat around the front room almost as if they had never left. Edward played to us on the piano, Esme brought me out some cookies. I vaguely wondered when they had the time to go and buy food. I assumed they must have done it on the way here or Alice had already taken care of it. It occurred to me that they did little things like that just for me.
Suddenly Edward jumped up from his seat.
“No.” He said firmly, looking directly at Alice and Carlisle who had been talking in the corner.
“Calm down Edward it was mearly another option.” Carlisle said. The funny thing was they were looking at me and I suddenly felt like I had missed something very important. I looked around for an explanation.
“They were discussing whether it would be better if you were a vampire.” Edward said. My heart skipped a little. That’s what I wanted, wasn’t it? I couldn’t help but think of Jacob. I knew he would find it very difficult to talk to me if I was a vampire. I think he would come round at a while but it would be harder. Then again at least I wouldn’t be such a risk all the time. Victoria was still out there somewhere. She had sworn revenge and escaped the wolves when they had followed her. Would she come back for me like Laurent had? Somehow I already knew the answer to that, probably just because I knew what my luck was like.
“Edward it was just an idea we’re not planning on condemning her soul just yet don’t overreact.” Alice chided.
“I saw her Edward. One of us. I just don’t know when or where. It was very vague.”
“I want to.” I said quietly. They all looked at me, including Edward who looked furious. “By all accounts...I should probably be dead by now. What happens when my luck runs out?”
“I will protect you.” Edward said.
“Don’t you want me to be happy Edward? Don’t you want to be with me forever?” I asked.
“Of course I do but...is a lifetime not enough for you?” he asked, coming to me and holding my hands.
“You cannot expect me to grow old and die while you stay seventeen forever Edward. How will I ever be happy that way?” I whispered.
“You cannot give your life and soul up for me.” He replied firmly.
“I want to. If you won’t I will make one of the others.” I said. They all looked a little sheepish. “Carlisle would do it.” Edward flashed a look at Carlisle and then after a moment back to me.
“Traitor.” He muttered. I assumed he meant Carlisle but I did wonder if he could mean me. “Bella you have so much to live for. Be with Jacob if you want to just don’t ask me to watch your life be taken away. I would even share you if that’s what it took.”
“Edward that’s not what I want. This isn’t about him or you. This is about me.” I said. “I don’t want to be the only one who gets old. I don’t want to be the one that needs protecting all the time. I don’t want to be waiting for another vampire who isn’t a “vegetarian” to come along and think of me as a nice snack. Can we vote on it?”
“No.” Edward growled.
“Carlisle?” I asked.
“Yes.” He said, throwing Edward an apologetic look. I glanced to Esme.
“Of course. I would love for you to be part of our family Bella.” She said. Edward growled.
“Yes” Alice said. Edward was staring at Jasper as if desperately begging him. From his look I knew Jasper was undecided.
“Jasper?” I asked.
“For your safety and ours...yes.” he said.
“No!” Edward shouted leaving the room. I wondered what Rosalie and Emmet would vote when they got here.
“I would advise waiting until you finish school though Bella. For the sake of secrecy.” Carlisle said. I nodded slowly. I could wait that long.
So I wouldn’t be the only one getting old. I would be able to protect myself. That thought was quite empowering. Now I just had to choose my future. Was it going to be with Jacob or Edward. Although there would be a larger complication with Jacob if I was a vampire. I certainly wouldn’t be welcome in La Push anymore.
Author’s Notes: ok so she’s leaning towards Edward. Sorry again not smut even though I promised I would. I was actually going to write more of this chapter but i wanted to hurry and get it uploaded. So it will have to be in the next one. Both Edward and Jacob try to convince her that being a vampire is a bad idea three guesses how they both decide to convince her.
