The Unexpected Lovers

Chapter 9

Bella POV

I awoke to a blinding light, fuck it hurt. Much like the fact that it felt like i got hit with a bus.

My mother and father were besides me, looking worried. Edward sat on the other side, holding the hand of the arm James had bit into.

I told them that I was fine and they finally left, they had to leave to go home and sleep, well Charlie was staying with my mom, it was kinda freaky to think about.

"Are you alright love?" He questioned quietly.

I felt a surge of disappointment, I wanted Esme to be here, not him.

"Yes, I'm fine," I cooed, I reached up and ran my hand through his hair.

~two weeks later~

I was limping up the stairs to the Cullen mansion. Edward was beside me but I glared when he offered help. I needed to do this by myself otherwise I'd feel useless.

We entered and went to the living room. Everyone was there, looking at me in awe well except Rosalie, she was just staring but not in a hostile way... maybe that's progress? Alice did say she'd warm up to me.

"Bella... we watched the tape," Carlisle announced softly.

I immediately felt awkward.

The air was heavy with silence for a few minutes. That is until Alice broke it, "we know the female will be back, she'll want revenge."

"So what will we do?" I questioned.

"We wait," Alice said not looking happy about the idea.

"So!" Emmett boomed, "I didn't know Bella knew that many cuss words."

I blushed and everyone chuckled, the tension in the air breaking.

Emmett wanted to kill me in video games but Alice was having none of it, she wanted to play Bella Barbie... I honestly didn't know what would be worse.

Alice won, which is funny because of their size difference.

She scooped me up and ran me to her room. She grabbed a piece of paper and began writing at vamp speed. She handed it to me.
'Bella, don't say anything outloud. I figured out your vampire gift, your a mental shield. Edward told us last night that he can no longer read my thoughts or Jasper's or Esme's. Your subconsciously shielding the three of us. Jasper because he can feel your feelings towards Esme, so you shielded him from Edward, me because I know the two of you are mates, and Esme because she is your mate. I'm going to dress you up, you'll like it so don't fight it.'

I sighed defeated and nodded. Accepting my fate, I was shocked that I had shielded them but grateful.

She passed me another note before beggining my personal hell.

'Carlisle will find his mate soon...'
