Chp 1: Resolutions and Problems

BPOV

"Bella we have to go. We're going to be late," Edward mumbled into my hair. I sighed.

"Can we stay home today?" I asked pouting. Edward looked at the door briefly.

"Actually never mind. It's going to be sunny today." he said cheerfully. I smiled, leaning my head on his shoulder again.

"I love you. Forever. You know that right?" I asked him.

"Yes," he answered. "I love you, too. Forever and ever and ever." He kissed my forehead. When he pulled away I was smiling. I looked into his golden eyes, showing my love for him.

Then Edward groaned, "What, Rosalie?"

I sighed. My relationship with Rosalie hadn't really improved. She had approved of me at first but when it was revealed that I had a power (or several rather) she had stopped trusting me, believing that I had hidden it from them. She had been attempting to be nicer, but she was still wary.

"Can I talk to Bella?" she asked softly, her melodic voice echoing throughout the now completely dead silent house. I looked at Edward with wide eyes. What did she want? It felt wrong to read her mind when she already liked me so little. Edward knew that. He nodded at me, signaling that it was okay. I took and deep unnecessary breath and stood up to get dressed. Edward followed throwing on a pair of pants, opting to stay topless and showing off his perfectly sculpted chest. I glared at him and he chuckled.

"Smug bastard," I muttered walking to the door. I opened the door and Rosalie was there.

"Bella, I was wondering if we could talk," Rosalie asked, softly.

I nodded, hesitantly, biting my lip. "Sure. Umm... where do you want to go?" I asked. Rosalie smiled a little bit, glad that I had agreed.

"Let's take a walk."

! #$%^&*()! #$%^&*()! #$%^&*()

We were in the forest, walking at human pace and far enough from the house that no one else could hear.

"Bella, I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry," Rosalie started. I opened my mouth to say that there was nothing that she had to be sorry for, that she was just worried and I would have wary as well, but she stopped me.

"I know you are going to be too forgiving. I've seen that you don't hold grudges very much over the past month, but I have to get this out because I do deserve it. I was just worried about my family's safety. I was sure that you were up to something and I was wrong, and I'm sorry. That's not a good enough excuse though. I should have trusted you."

"It's okay Rosalie," I told her, "Really, I understand you were protecting your family. I don't blame you."

Rosalie smiled at me. "Rose. Call me Rose."

I nodded. "Alright. Rose."

We ran back to the house together talking about ourselves. I was telling her a story about when he was human Edward when we walked up to the house.

We walked in the house laughing and I froze dead in my tracks. Edward was at his piano, the notes to the lullaby he had written me as humans fading, and the rest of the family was in the living area. But what had caught my eye was the fog collecting on the floor. Rose was staring at it, too. Edward looked up at me then followed my eyes. His eyes widened and he was at my side in a second. The mist turned into four very familiar ghostly figures.

"Mother? Father? Elizabeth? Mr. Masen?"

"Mother? Father? Renee? Mr. Swan?"

We spoke at the same time then looked at each other. Why were they here?

"Edward, I have told you to call me Charlie." my father reprimanded. Edward nodded. Edward's father had wanted me to call him Edward but it got confusing since they both looked up whenever I said Edward so I opted for calling Edward's dad Mr. Masen.

"Edward!" Elizabeth said, delighted. "It is wonderful to see you after all these years!"

"It's great to see you to mom," Edward answered smiling, still with wide eyes. The rest of the family was staring at the four ghosts.

"Bella! I am glad you to have found each other again. I was beginning to get worried."

"Hi Elizabeth," I responded. "I'm glad we've found each other as well."

"Oh, so Liz doesn't need to say 'call me Elizabeth'?" My mother complained.

"Um... not to be rude but Renee how are you here?" I asked her. She had said she wouldn't be able to visit again for a few years. It had been a month. She smiled at me.

"I am borrowing one of your father's visits?" she answered as a more of a question.

"You can do that?" I asked. She shook her head.

"The rules are not really mattering at this point," Renee explained. Edward and I looked at each other. I opened my shield and used my gift-borrowing power to read his mind.

Why would the rules not matter?

I don't know, he answered mentally. He was worried. I kept my shield open so that we could communicate.

"Renee," Mr. Masen warned.

"The rules are completely being disregarded anyways. why would it matter if we tell them?"

"They could get in trouble for what we have done," My dad said. Renee looked at him disapprovingly.

Trouble? Edward asked.

What kind of trouble? Why would they get in trouble? I asked.

I don't know baby, Edward answered me silently putting his arm around my waist.

The rest of the family came out of their shock.

"Hello, I'm Carlisle Cullen," Carlisle said, getting up from the couch. Our parents turned to look at him.

"Hello, Carlisle," Elizabeth smiled, recognizing her old doctor.

"Elizabeth, it's nice to see you again," Carlisle said. "This is my family. My wife Esme. My daughter Alice and her husband Jasper. And my daughter Rosalie and her husband Emmett." He gestured to each of them.

"Hello," our parents said, simultaneously.

"It is nice to meet you all," Elizabeth said. "I am Elizabeth, Edward's mother. This is my husband, Edward Sr. This is Renee's wife, Charlie and you already know Renee from her...visit."

"Hi!" Alice smiled.

"Thank you for saving him all those years ago," Elizabeth told him. Carlisle shook his head, his eyebrows pulling together slightly.

"I shouldn't be thanked for turning an innocent person into what we are now," Carlisle replied sadly.

"But I should. This world is becoming horrible." Elizabeth said, before slapping a hand over her mouth, realizing what she had just let slip. Our fathers sighed, shaking their heads. You could almost hear them thinking, Oh Liz.

"Horrible?" Edward asked alarmed. "Horrible how?"

He was imagining scenarios, things happening to our families. Awful things. I didn't know he could be so morbid. His arm tightened around me further.

Easy, baby I thought. He relaxed his stiff position a little bit but not enough.

"Edward, I shouldn't have-"

"No, you have to tell us!"

"Watch your tone, young man," Mr. Masen berated his son. Edward grit his teeth, and his fist clenched.

"Sorry," Edward ground out.

Edward, baby, calm down. You blowing up isn't going to help. Let's convince them to tell us. Calmly. Please.

He scolded his eyes for a moment before reopening them.

"Horrible how?" he asked, calmer.

"We should just tell them," Renee said looking at them. "This involves them too. They deserve to know."

They looked at her skeptically, debating. Then Mr. Masen sighed.

"I suppose that they should know," he said. "There is trouble in the after life at the moment. The most privileged members of our world, the High Council, are being over thrown. The leaders are anyways. It is chaotic."

"Who's over throwing them?" Jasper asked, sitting up straighter.

"Someone from this world. We are not as privileged as others, we are not as old and therefore less informed, so we do not know how." Mr. Masen answered.

"But do you know who?" Edward asked his father. He nodded.

"Who is it?" Edward asked when he didn't respond.

"Someone central to your world," Charlie answered him, rather than Mr. Masen.

"A vampire?" Esme asked, her eyebrows pulling together in concern. Charlie nodded. Emmett and Jasper stood up. Jasper and Alice stood next to each other and Emmett moved to Rose. Carlisle and Esme were standing close to one another, her hand on his shoulder.

"Several," Renee said. We all looked at one another. I assumed that were all sharing the same thought.

"The Volturi," Emmett spoke our conjoined thoughts. Our parents were silent for a moment before they nodded their heads.

"How?" Rosalie muttered as a question to herself.

"When did this happen?" Carlisle asked.

"A few days ago. The rumor is that the Volturi found out about us and found a way to cross over into out world, since you are already in a sense dead. It is complete chaos. We are now able to do as we please with near no restrictions. The Volturi are having trouble since we are already dead and their powers don't work on us. More and more ghosts are being summoned into this world.

"Summoned?" Carlisle asked, eager for new information.

"You can summon any ghost you wish. You do not even need to know their name. There are rules on accepting offerings, but since the High Council was overthrown..."

"We could summon our families?" Emmett asked. Renee nodded. We all sat for a brief moments taking in the information. We could summon anyone.

"Have you seen our families?" Carlisle asked no one in particular.

"We have seen some. We have seen Carlisle's mother and father, they are part of a more privileged group, as they are older and have experienced more. We have seen Emmett's who are just below our class. We have not seen Rosalie's or Jasper's family, but all of your families are up there," Charlie answered.

"I could summon my family," Alice muttered. We all looked at her in surprise.

"Alice, why would you summon you family?" Emmett asked the question we all direly wanted to know the answer to, no matter how rude it was.

"I have to," Alice said softly.

"How?" She asked, her eyes wide and pleading, looking at my parents and in-laws.

"I don't know if-"

"How?" she insisted, pressing for information.

"Food offering for humans. Blood for vampires." Charlie said, giving in.

"Human blood?" Carlisle asked. Charlie nodded gravely.

"It could be a small drop. Any amount would work." Charlie said. Carlisle nodded, seeming a little less alarmed.

"I could summon the vampire that changed me?" Alice asked. Mr. Masen nodded.

"How do we do it?" Alice asked again.

"Throw the offering into a fire and say the person's name or what you know them as. If you were to summon the vampire that turned you you would say 'the vampire that turned me'. However for your entire family you would say 'the Brandon Family'" Charlie said.

"Let's do it. We could all talk to our families," Alice said.

"But Alice your family-" Edward tried.

She can't do this, Edward thought. I saw the plan she had. She wanted this? I din't want to intrude and read Alice's mind, no matter how curious I was.

"I know. But I have to do this or I'll have to live with this... this feeling bottled up for the rest of my life."

Edward nodded in defeat, sighing.

"Alright so we'll all summon our families and say what we have to say," Alice said, leaving no room for argument. We all nodded.

"Someone start a fire," Emmett boomed.

EPOV

A fire was blazing and the smell of human food permeated the air. Revolting. Bella was eating her head in my shoulder and my arm was wrapped around her waist.

I saw what Alice was planning she wanted the full truth and she wanted to show her father that she was fine and happy, not crazy. I understood where she was coming from, the sudden totally un-Alice-like sadistic-ness. She wanted to show him that he had lost, in the end.

Emmett wanted to see his family again, his sister and older brothers and mother.

Rosale planned on explaining to her parents how awful Royce was, what he had done.

Carlisle wanted to see his parents, who he bared no ill will towards. He loved them. What little he remembered of them anyways.

Esme was the most surprising. She wanted to confront her parents. Almost... scold them, for not listening to her pleas to leave her human husband, who ha treated her appallingly.

Jasper didn't really have too much to say to his parents. He did however wish to apologize to the vampire newborns that he had... disposed of in his time in Maria's army.

Bella and I had seen our parents, but we hadn't talked to them in private. Not that the others would get the chance to either. We would all be present.

"So why does this work?" Carlisle asked Charlie.

"Food out here smells a lot better to us than it does in there. If you throw a little food into a fire and invite the ghost into the fire, we would not be able to resist it. But we cannot enter the fire unless we're summoned. It is our most sacred law, though some still do not obey."

"Renee? Charlie? Elizabeth? Mr. Masen? Are you here? We have some news for you." An unmistakable voice sounded. I would know this voice anywhere. Our parents looked at each other in panic.

"Not now, dear," Renee called.

"This is important! Nothing could possibly be more important."

"He's going to kill me," another voice hissed. A male's voice. I froze.

"He won't kill you. Come on." The woman's voice whispered

"We have something to tell you,"The woman called, happily. Two figures made of fog appeared behind our parents, walking towards them. A man and a woman. The were looking at each other and the woman tripped.

"Be careful." The man laughed.

They looked up and they froze simultaneously.

The woman had brown hair and brown eyes. The man had bronze hair and green eyes. Their attire suggested that they had just come back from a stroll in 1918. He had his arm around her shoulder. My arm tightened around Bella's waist.

"I guess there is something that is a bit more important at the moment. Mother, you couldn't have warned us?"
