The Unexpected Lovers

Chapter 11

Esme's POV

Now don't get me wrong I am not only pleased Carlisle found his mate, I am ecstatic that I finally get to be with mine.

But this didn't stop the fact that I snarled and crouched protectivly over my poor poor Bella. Forcibly changed by the bitch that will probably want to be in our family now.

That little bitch hurt my mate and something needed to be done about it right now.

Everyone froze and looked at me. Carlisle looked at me wide eyed, probably shocked at either the fact that my eyes were black out of anger for the first time in my existence or possibly the fact that I'm crouching over Bella in a way that screams protectivness. Possibly both.

Edward looked at me with narrowed eyes, earning a snarl from me, he quickly took a step back. Emmett had Rosalie behind him. Both staring at me wide eyed. Alice was smiling and Jasper looked wary.

"It's time Esme," was all Alice said.

I smiled softly at her and got out of my crouching position and gently picked up my mate. I could tell she wanted to scream. I turned and locked eyes with Victoria.

"You, bitch. I could care less that you are mates with my husband as seeing I knew this beauty in my arms was my forever since day one. But you hurt what is mine. Come near her before I forgive you and I don't give a damn who your mate is, you could be mated to one of the voltori kings for all I care and I'd still remove you head from those shoulders. Don't push me girly." I snarled glaring into those red eyes.

I turned from them and fled towards the house. They'll figure out how to tell the school that I had to leave. Bella is my priority. Bella is my mate. She is mine. And she'll never have to question if I love her ever again.

Alice's POV

Esme turned and fled for home, cradling my sister gently in her arms. Everyone but Jasper and I stood in shock.

"Finally, those two can now be together," I said smiling and bouncing on my toes.

Edward snarled and whirled to face me.

Jasper growled lowly and took a protective crouch in front of my petite form. Major just under the surface, ready to burst free and protect me if need be.

I put my hands on his shoulders. Edward would not hurt me. He might be angry but I know he knew Bella was not his mate.

"Do not snarl at me Edward. You knew the whole time that Bella was not your mate. You loved her blood. So you brought her to us. Not knowing her mate lived in our household," I said strongly.

He bared his teeth.

"You began to love her later in the relationship, but what attracted you to her was blood, and if you had stayed with her you would've killed her," I said lowly, remembering the visions I had saw.

"Now," I said clapping my hands and turning to the new mated couple, "Esme was not kidding. She will kill Victoria if she's even in the same mile of Bella, she's in protective mode at the moment and won't hesitate to kill. You two should stay in Carlisle's cabin just outside of Seattle for now. For at least until Bella completes her transformation."

They nodded there acceptance and Carlisle went to explain how Esme had to leave but he'd stay. Victoria left for the cabin after receiving directions from me.

"As for us," I said looking at my siblings and mate, "we have to stay at the dance to avoid suspicion. We will say Bella went to walk home after Edward and her argued. We'll make it look like an animal attack then."

They all nodded and we went inside. Waiting to go home.

Esme POV

I held her hand as she tossed her head. She hasn't screamed once. But sometimes her body will move, or her face will contort in pain. She was strong. I hope she accepts me as her mate. Does she know I am her mate? Or will she awaken and expect Edward to be sitting where I am?

Is she even open to being with a woman? Could she love me as I love her? I laid my head on her arm. Listening to her heart beat, of course it's rate faster then normal due to the pain of the venom. Listening to her heart always calmed me, so as I set my head down I made sure to listen to it and study it. Knowing that soon... it would cease to beat.

Bella's POV

I was on fire. I wanted to scream my heart out. I wished they'd dump me in a pool or something to stop the fire. But I knew what was happening. I was turning.

I focused on memories. Of Charlie, of Renee. Knowing I'd never see them again. Of Esme. Of Alice. Of all the Cullen family, my family. The fire was receding slowly. Leaving my arms and legs cool. It even seemed to leave my mind a little, so I could focus.

I could remember prom, and my change. I can even remember Esme snarling as she ripped Victoria off me.

I could feel it when she rebit me to give me more venom.

The fire left my lower abdomen to recede to my heart.

I felt someone holding my hand, their hand was femine and their scent comforted me. Grass after a fresh rain, the air after the rain, the soil after a rain. It was like stepping into the forest during a storm or right after one.

It was my Esme. She was here. Hold my hand. I felt myself relax.

The pain all went straight to my heart. And within a minute of this... my heart stopped.

I felt my body sag with relief. It was over.

I felt my hand being squeezed by Esme, she then let go and stepped back from the bed.

Oh yeah, that's right. It isn't over. I'm a vampire now. I have forever to live. If anything my life has only just begun.

My eyes snapped open, revealing blood red orbs and a smile graced my lips... it has only just begun.

BAM should it be over? I think it might. Of course I would make a sequel though. What do you think?
