chapter 4 :meeting the mystic gang

Bella pov
When I woke up the next morning I was surprisingly smiling when I showered and got my clothes on. I decided to wear a paid of dark blue jean shorts and a peach see through top with a white undershirt and my peach sandals. I decided to do my hair in one big braid to the side so I wouldn’t have to worry about it too much and I kept my make-up simple as well.

When I got downstairs my nana was already up and breakfast was ready.

“Hey sweetheart how was last night?”

“It was nice nana and I met Damon Salvatore to. He was very flirty and hung his phone up on whoever he was talking to which was rude but other then that he seemed ok.”

“Oh that Damon will flirt with any woman that has a pulse trust me I know he hit on me a few times and I told him he wouldn’t be able to keep up with me. So where all did Elijah take you last night?”

I couldn’t help but giggle at my nana I don’t know what I’m going to do with her but she is awesome.

“He showed me to the places that him and his siblings used to go to when they were human and then we went out to dinner and he told me a little bit about his life and some of the places that he’s been. I must admit it was nice to hear him talk about all of the things that he’s seen and done.”

“Well like I told you Elijah is one of the good guys and he’s had it a little hard I think that you two would be good for each other and I think you may be the only one that can help him forget some of the horrors that he experienced.”

“It feels strange but I feel this pull to him that I can’t explain. I want to make him happy but feel a little scared when he is away. I don’t understand why I feel this way for someone I just met two days ago. Well nana it’s getting late and I don’t want to be late for my first day of school.”

“Ok have a good first day and don’t forget that Bonnie will meet you at the office to show you around. She may have Elena and Caroline with her. I will see you when you get home and have fun sweetheart.”

“Ok thanks nana it will be nice to meet another witch and maybe have a friend at school.”

“Ok thanks nana it will be nice to meet another witch and maybe have a friend at school.”

I got in my car and drove to the school happy that Elijah showed me where it was yesterday. I found a parking space and as I was getting my backpack out the passenger seat my cell phone vibrated in my pocket. I got it out surprised to see a text from Elijah.
I hope you have a good first day at school. Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you.

I thought that was very sweet of him and sent him a quick thank you back and told him I was thinking of him as well.

I wasn’t shocked that Mystic Falls High School was bigger then Forks but thankfully I was able to find the front office with no problem but I knew that finding my classes would be different all together. Once I got my schedule and locker I walked out and almost ran into a very pretty girl.

“Oh I’m so sorry I was in a rush and wasn’t paying attention. I’m looking for a girl named Bonnie Bennett do you think you could help me find her?”
“It’s ok and you must be Bella Swan I’m Bonnie and I was actually coming to meet you I was running a little late hoping to get here in time. I hope that you and me can be great friends plus it feels good to know another witch. Why don’t I show you to your locker and then I can show you to your first class.”

“I hope we can be friends to so when did you find out about yourself and your family?”

“Just last year what about you?”
“Just last week and I’m still trying to wrap my mind around all of it.”
You will get used to it eventually and I will give you my number and you can always talk to me if you need to. Maybe after school you can come over to my grams and I can tell you everything that you need to know about When I woke up the next morning I was surprisingly smiling when I showered and got my clothes on.

You will get used to it eventually and I will give you my number and you can always talk to me if you need to. Maybe after school you can come over to my grams and I can tell you everything that you need to know about the supernatural’s of this town including the fact that the history teacher Mr. Saltzman being a vampire hunter that is friends with a vampire. He is pretty cool to so he may be the only teach you will like in this school.”

“That sounds awesome I will call my nana after school and let her know and I can just follow you there.”

“That’s fine and speaking of Mr. Saltzman you have him for first period I can introduce you to him and you can trust him with your secret he already knows about your grandmother and he really cares about his students to. We also have lunch together and I can introduce you to my friends then. Elena and Caroline wanted to come with me but I didn’t want Caroline to overwhelm you because she can be a little much. I love that girl dearly but I don’t know where she gets her energy from and she is all over the place with one subject. “

After going to my locker I stuck some of my books in there and made a quick call to my nana to tell her about going to Bonnie’s grams house and she said that was and that she would call her and let her know that we would be over.

Once Bonnie showed me to Mr. Saltzman’s class she introduce me to him and I told him who my grandmother was and knew that I was a witch. I was surprised to learn that Mystic Falls takes their history to a whole new level entirely. They actually have different events and a lot of times we won’t have to go to school because they make all the students pitch in to help. I won’t complain though any excuse to get me out of school I’m all for it.

After class I made it through my next few classes without any problems and once lunchtime rolled around I made my way to the cafeteria and I spotted Bonnie with two other very pretty girls and walked over to them.

“Hey Bella this is Elena and Caroline, Caroline and Elena this is Bella Swan.”

“It’s nice to meet you Bella and I absolutely love your outfit and your hair maybe we can go shopping one day. Where did you get your top and those shoes from and who did your hair I love it.” Before I could respond and say anything Elena started talking.

“Caroline please don’t start yet let Bella sit down and get used to us first before you start to drive her crazy like you have with the rest of us. So Bella how is your first day so far?”

“Umm thank you Caroline and it’s going great so far.”

“That’s good so where are you from exactly?” Caroline asked me and I was surprised that she didn’t want my exact address.

“Forks, Washington you’ve probably never heard of it. It is a really small town everyone knows everyone and there is absolutely nothing to do there. It is also the rainiest place in the US.”

“That has got to suck.”

“It wasn’t so bad because it was like I had my own place staying with my dad. He is police Chief and if he wasn’t at work he was fishing. Then I had my then boyfriend and his family. Most times we would go to Port Angeles or Seattle to shop and things like that.”

"It wasn't so bad because it was like I had my own place staying with my dad. He is police Chief and if he wasn't at work he was fishing. Then I had my then boyfriend and his family. Most times we would go to Port Angeles or Seattle to shop and things like that."

"Your dad sounds cool and my mom is Sherriff here and like your dad she works all the time but the only difference between your dad and my mom is my mom has to chase after vampires. The funny thing is I'm one and she doesn't know it. Well she did but I compelled her to forget. I hope you don't mind that Bonnie told us I think she is just so excited to have another witch around."

"It's ok I already know about everyone here I just didn't know about Damon until last night. My grandmother told me everything I needed to know but let's just keep this between us in case someone that knows Bonnie is a witch and think that she is the only other one beside her grandmother. This way maybe I can help out if you guys need it."

"That's actually not a bad idea. I think we can all agree with that what do you think Elena and Caroline?" They both nodded their heads and I felt relived I just hope they can be quiet about it.

"So Bella after school we can meet by your locker and we can go to my grams after that."

"Ok Bonnie that sounds like a plan."

After that we all talked a little longer and when the bell rang we all walked to our different classes. One thing that I knew I would absolutely love about being here is that gym was not required all four years and I was eternally grateful for that. After my last couple of class for the day when school let out Bonnie was already waiting by my locker. We walked to the parking lot and I followed her to her grandmother's house.

Before we got to the door her grandmother was standing on the front porch waiting for us.

"Bella it is so nice to finally meet you please come on it."

"Thanks it's nice to meet you to Ms. Bennett."

"Oh sweetie just call me Shelia, but don't tell Caroline that she still has to call me Ms. Shelia." She told me smiling. "So what do you girls want to talk to me about?"

"Well grams since Bella just found out she was a witch I thought it would be a good idea for her to get to know us. I also wanted to show her Emily's grimoire if it's ok?"

"Yes child that's a good idea and it may be some spells in that book that Bella can do that you and I can't even do. Her family is a lot more powerful then we are that's for sure."

"I'm sorry who is Emily and what do you mean by a lot more powerful from the way my grandmother was explaining to me she made it seem like we weren't too much more powerful."

"Oh that Marie I tell you she is too modest for her own good. Honey if you wanted to you could kill the two of us without any problem which is why it's important that we don't piss you off."

"I would never do anything to hurt anyone let alone the two of you."
Oh honey I know that I could sense it when I shook your hand that you meant either of us no harm and that's another thing that your grandmother wanted me to go over with you. She thinks it's a good idea for not only her to help you but she wants me to help you as well. She also wants you and Bonnie both to take a few lessons from the both of us together because she senses something big coming?"

"What do you mean sense?"

"Well that's one of the things I'm going to help you with. Have you ever gotten a bad feeling from someone or something."

"Yes for the past few months I was getting bad vibes from my ex-boyfriends sister and we used to be best friends but every time she was around I would have to move away from her it was so bad I would feel sick."

"Oh that's not good at all tell me a little bit about her. I know when I talked to your grandmother earlier all she told me is that you dated a cold one. How is it possible that they were able to control their blood lust around you? That's another thing that traditional vampires have over cold ones as well."
Yes his family is a coven of cold ones it is seven of them all together. They also on fed from animals so their eyes were amber instead of red. Edward was my boyfriend and he could read minds but never mines. His sister Alice the one I was saying that I was getting bad vibes from was a psychic but her visions worked based on decisions that were being made and they could always change based on the person’s decisions.

Jasper his brother is an empath and the rest of them didn’t really have special skills like those three unless you consider being pretty strong after the first year of being a cold one a gift then his other brother Emmett.

A few weeks after we started dating Edward told me that his sister had a vision of three nomads passing through town and he would be around me a lot more often so that they wouldn’t come near me. Anyways they invited me to come and watch them play a game of baseball. While they were playing Alice had a vision of them coming to join them.

It wasn’t until recently that I’ve been wondering if she didn’t already know that they would show up. Well one they arrived on of the guys was a tracker and he got a whiff of my blood and after running away to Phoenix with Alice and Jasper to hide out until the rest of them could take care of James.

He found out where I was hiding and he called and used some of our old home videos to make me think that he had my mom. After telling me that he wouldn’t hurt her as long as I came to him I ran away from Alice and Jasper to meet him at my old ballet studio when he broke my leg and a few of my ribs.

To make matters worse he bit my arm. Edward finally arrived with his brothers, father and Alice, while Rosalie and Esme stayed behind in Forks to keep an eye on my dad. Edward sucked the venom out so that I wouldn’t change but the scar I have from that bite is ice cold.” I then explained the events of my disastrous birthday party and they both had looks of absolute horror.

“Well child I’m glad that he didn’t just let the venom take over and the reason why he couldn’t read your mind is because you are witch. It doesn’t matter if you just got your powers you’ve always been a witch and even if you didn’t ever have powers as long as your mother was a witch it still would have protected you.

I do however agree with you thinking that maybe this Alice girl saw all these event’s play out the way they went down. The thing that has me confused is why let all of this happen to you? Are you still in touch with any of them that you can trust?”

“Yes Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper although I trust Jasper I don’t want to cause him conflict but I do think he has been sensing something different about her to.”

“I think it’s a good idea for us to get in touch with them so that they can be aware in case Alice is planning something because that could have something to do with what Marie has been sensing.

We can call them before you go home but for now let me help you to see if you can hone in on this sensing ability. Marie never wanted to learn this for our grandmothers when we were younger but now she is better then me at it and this is one of the things that I am best at.”
After working with Shelia for about two hours we called Rosalie and told her about what was going on and she told me that everyone else has been doubting Alice lately so they are already aware of the situation but she said that her and Emmett would keep an eye out and they would talk to Jasper whenever he was away from Alice.

“Well it was nice meeting you Bella and I will come over to your house Saturday morning and Marie and I will work with you and Bonnie then and Bonnie will follow you home from school Thursday so that Marie can work with the two of you. I think it will be best for you two to come here every Monday after school and then every Thursday at your house and then we can work together every Saturday at either house.”

“Ok that sounds good and knowing my nana on the days when we aren’t practice she will be trying to get me out of the house.”

“Oh yeah that sounds like Marie, but one thing I do know is she missed you so much all of those years and she loves you dearly. She just wants to make sure you are happy living here with her.”

“So far everything is going great. I will see you tomorrow Bonnie and I will see you Sunday Shelia.”

Once I got home I was surprised to see Elijah’s car in the driveway. When I got inside Elijah and nana was sitting on the couch drinking tea talking and laughing with each other.

“Marie I do think that we have shocked poor Bella she is standing there with her mouth wide open. So Bella how was your first day?”

“It was good Elijah thank you. What’s going on here exactly I thought you was coming on Wednesday?”

“Well I wanted to come and talk to your grandmother about a few things that couldn’t wait until then. You look very nice if and I’m pretty sure I may have to go to the school and compel a few of the guys to not hit on you again tomorrow am I correct.”

“Thank you and actually they were pretty well behaved I think there was maybe one that actually drooled a little bit.”

“I knew it so what’s his name if you don’t mind me asking?”

“Oh I don’t mind I just don’t want to tell you incase he becomes your dinner.”

My grandmother who was quiet started laughing at what I said and Elijah looked stomped and I must admit it was pretty funny.

“Well Bella I was just getting ready to cook dinner Elijah is joining us. So why don’t you show him around and you can do your homework and maybe he can help you with your homework. Don’t worry I spelled the bedrooms today to make them sound proof.” My nana had a very sneaky smirk on her face when she said this and I was a very bright red color.

“Do you need any help fixing dinner nana?” I asked trying to hide my embarrassment.

“No I know that you did all the cooking with Renee and Charlie so for once you just relax.”

“Ok thanks nana come on Elijah.” I looked at him to see he had a huge smile on his face but when he saw me looking at him he frowned very quickly. It would have been comical if I weren’t still reeling from my nana’s comments.
Elijah pov
After sending Bella that text this morning I decided to go and talk with Marie and tell her what I had figured out yesterday. When I got there she opened the door before I was able to knock telling me that the spirits told her that I was coming. She even had breakfast waiting for me.

“So tell me Elijah what is it you’ve come to talk to me about?”

“Well Marie I don’t really know how to tell you this and please don’t kill me when I do but I figured out last night that Bella is my mate and one true love.”

“Oh is that all?” She asked me with a smile on her face and I was a little confused because I knew that she would kill me.

“Well yes but I don’t understand why you aren’t mad.”

“Oh dear Elijah I’ve know since the day Bella first used her magic when she was eight months old. The spirits told me that she would be the mate of an original vampire who hasn’t been lucky in love. They also said that once you two meet that the both of you would be able to change the supernatural community and bring peace and harmony to all of us. They also said that you two would bring a new race into this world. They also said that your love would be epic and better then any love story that you can imagine and that a lot of supernatural creatures will look to the two of you to find a love like yours.

I was just waiting on you to come to the conclusion that she is your mate. I can’t tell you everything because they told me a lot but I will tell you this. Don’t be scared to give her your heart because she will take good care of it and you two will do some amazing things together. I can also tell you that there will be problems along the way but you will work through it.”

I sat there for a few moments thinking and I knew that I could trust Marie because she is the only witch that knows how to kill and original vampire and she would have killed me a long time ago if she wanted to.

“So does Bella know all of this as well?”

“Oh no what I’m about to tell you, you had better not tell her I said or I will kill you even if you are her mate.”

“Marie you know me better then that but if it would make you feel better you have my word that I will not repeat what you tell me.” I guess it was enough for her because she continued.

“Well this morning Bella told me that feels this pull toward you and she doesn’t quite understand it and that she wants to do anything she can to make sure you are happy. As much as I wanted to tell her I know that I can’t it will take her a while before she understands but you will be the one to convince her. Just don’t rush her ok.”

“Marie you know me better then that. I will do everything in my power to make her happy and smile often and I will give her anything she wants. What did you mean when you said that we would bring a new race into the world?”

“I guess that I should explain that to you. Well I know that you think that vampires can’t have children but it’s not true they can and that goes for men and women. It’s important that when you and Bella take that next step that you use protection because only mates and one true loves can have babies. It’s like one of those extremely rare cases.

There are hybrids out there like half vampire half witch or half human. I guess you can call it nature’s loophole. Your and Bella’s love will be so different that if she decides to change then she will still keep her powers and the two of you can have a child before or even after the change. Once your first child is born the supernatural will feel it and they will understand how it’s was possible.

You can’t tell anyone about this because the hybrids are still walking this earth and they can live forever just like any other vampire. It’s important that Bella knows about this before the two of you become intimate. Just like she has to know about the bite during the mating ritual and blood sharing. I know its a lot to take in and but she needs to know just like you do.”

“No it’s ok that I know but I just don’t know when to reveal all of this to her.”

“She trust you now but like I said it’s all about when she is ready and you will know. The connection that you two share already is so strong and powerful that either of you will be able to tell when the other is hurt or in danger. Trust me I thank God for that because the way Bella attract danger she needs someone to know when she is in danger. I mean she just stumbles upon danger.

I remember when she was five she almost got hit by her moms car. We had just got back from grocery shopping and she wanted to play with her Barbie ball and it rolled behind the car. She ran to get it and Renee didn’t put the car in park and if I weren’t paying attention to Bella then she probably would have died that day. We erased that memory from her because she was talking in her sleep about her nana used magic to save her from the car.”

“Well I agree with you there and she told me what happened with the Cullen’s or better yet with this Edward guy I still want to rip his heart out.”

We continued our conversation and caught each other up on our lives since the last time we ran into each other which was in Brazil right after Marie married Bella’s grandfather. Not too much longer I heard Bella pull up and was happy that she had made it home safe.

I don’t know how I will be able to keep all this information I learned today from Bella but I do know that she will be a permanent part of my life and for that I was excited about the future. One thing I do know is that I will have to tell her about my brother and I don’t know how she will respond to that.
