A/N: Unfortunately, this is the last chapter for this particular story. I would write more, but I can't think of what else to put in here. I enjoy writing, but I've decided to end this story now before it gets dragged out and boring. I don't think you would want to read something boring; I know I wouldn't like writing it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter for what it is.
"What do you feel, Bella?" Carlisle asked Bella. Carlisle had brought a sample of human blood from the hospital, and was now holding the bag up to her face.
"I want it." Bella said. She kept her gaze set on the blood.
"How bad do you want it?" Carlisle asked. He moved the blood slowly away from her face, and she followed.
"I want it really bad." Bella muttered.
"Do you think you can resist?"
"Why would I want to resist something that smells so good?" Bella tried to reach out for the bag of blood, but Carlisle jerked it away.
"You have to remember; this came from a human being. That's why you need to resist. If you can't resist then you can't go back into society." Carlisle said.
Bella sighed, and took her seat back on the sofa. She didn't go towards the blood again.
"That's amazing." Carlisle said surprised.
"I know; she's so good at controlling herself when she needs to." Alice came into the conversation. She moved over towards Bella who was now pouting.
"It smells so good though." Bella whined.
"I don't think it would be too appealing to find out how we got that blood. It came from a person; who knows if they're dead or alive." Alice said to try to make it less tempting.
"What if that blood came from someone you loved?" Carlisle asked.
Bella shook her head, and turned her gaze away from the blood. "I don't want it." She said a little depressed.
"It's for the best." Alice rubbed Bella's back.
"I know it is." Bella placed her hands around Alice's waist, and relaxed her muscles.
"I think you can go back to school." Carlisle said happily.
"Are you sure?" Alice asked a little concerned. If Edward was there with them; he probably would have been yelling at Carlisle for even thinking that.
"I'm certain. She has control of herself; she won't hurt anyone." Carlisle responded casually.
"Are you ready to go back, Bella?" Alice turned to her and asked.
"I have to go back sometime; it might as well be now." Bella replied.
"Aren't you nervous though?" Alice raised an eyebrow at Bella's lack of concern.
"Of course I am, but I'd rather get this over with soon. I've missed too much school, and I need to go back. Besides you'll be there to help me get through the day." Bella smiled.
"Of course I will be." Alice kissed Bella softly on the cheek.
"Oh, and Alice…have you had any visions of our soon to be visitors?" Carlisle asked.
"No, unfortunately I haven't. I don't understand why I can't see properly." Alice said frustrated.
"It's nothing to worry over. You're probably just distracted by Bella, and everything that's been happening here. It's hard to pay attention to everything at once. And I'm sure that there will be no problems with the Volturi coming to visit. We've done nothing wrong." Carlisle smiled sincerely.
This had made Alice relax. There really wasn't anything to worry about. Bella seemed to be able to control herself around human blood, and the situation that happened with the new borns was practically inevitable.
"You're right Carlisle. Thank you for saying that; I feel much better now."
"I'm only speaking the truth, or what I feel is the truth." Carlisle smiled, and waved to the two girls as he showed himself out of their room.
Once the two girls were alone; Bella looked at Alice and smiled mischievously.
"So what can we do until it's time to go to school?" Bella moved a little closer to Alice.
Alice's face lit up, and a wide smiled spread across her face.
"I know what we can do." Alice said a little excited.
"Yeah, what's that?" Bella slowly moved in for a kiss.
But before could plant her lips against Alice; Alice stood up and made her way to her closet.
"What are you doing?" Bella asked a little confused.
"I'm planning your outfit for when you go back to school tomorrow. Isn't that what you wanted to do?" Alice let out a small laugh.
"Oh yeah, more than anything." Bella rolled her eyes.
Alice took a couple of steps back towards Bella. She stood in front of Bella, and her hands rested on Bella's shoulders. Alice looked down at Bella; as she looked up to Alice.
"You know I was only playing with you? We have plenty of time to prepare an outfit for you after we have a little bit of naughty fun." Alice slowly leaned down and kissed Bella passionately on the lips.
"That sounds so much better." Bella said in-between kisses.
Bella moved backwards against the back of the sofa, and Alice climbed on top of her. From there, they kept themselves busy for the rest of the night.
A few hours later
"Are you ready Bella?" Alice asked from the doorway of her closet.
"I don't want to wear a dress!" Bella complained.
"But it will look so good on you." Alice whined back.
"Can't I wear it another time? I just want to wear some jeans and a nice shirt today." Bella approached Alice and gave her a pleading look.
"If I let you wear what you want today; you have to let me pick out your clothes for two days." Alice smiled.
"But that's not fair."
"It's your choice Bella. Wear the dress today, or you have to wear what I want you to for the next two days."
"Fine…I'm wearing what I want today." Bella said as she walked back into the closet.
"You're so stubborn." Alice laughed.
"I don't care; that's just how I am." Bella said from inside the closet.
A few seconds later she came out wearing tight fitting jeans, and a white button up shirt.
"How did those clothes get in my closet?" Alice asked herself when she saw what Bella was wearing.
"It's not very colorful or stylish. I wish you had some black clothes; I think that's a better color." Bella said as she tugged at the clothes to make them tighter against her.
"Why is black a better color? It's too dark." Alice said.
"Black matches with everything." Bella smiled.
Alice shrugged, and walked over to Bella to help her make her shirt look better.
"Even though the clothes are plain, you still look stunning as ever." Alice kissed Bella's neck.
"Thank you Alice." Bella smiled.
"Ready to go then?" Alice held out her hand for Bella.
"I suppose I am." Bella took Alice's hand in her own, and they walked downstairs together. That's where they met the rest of the Cullen's.
Edward approached the two girls when they reached the bottom of the stairs and asked them, "Can I give you a ride to school? There's something I would like to discuss with you two." He gave them a sincere look.
"Sure Edward, do you want to Bella?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, let's go talk." Bella smiled the best she could.
"Bye" Alice said to the rest of them as the three of them were walking outside.
"Bye" They all replied in unison.
The walk to Edwards's car was silent. Once they reached the car Bella got into the backseat, and Alice sat in the front with Edward.
Edward started the car, and began to drive. The first couple of minutes were filled with awkward silence; or that's what Bella thought it was.
Just don't yell Edward. Accept us, please. Bella thought to herself.
"The reason I wanted to talk to you two, was because I want to talk about your relationship." Edward said calmly.
"What about our relationship?" Alice asked in the same calm manner.
"I just want to apologize for the way I have been treating you two lately. I was just so mad at what happened. Neither one of you is to blame for the way I am feeling; the only one I should be mad at is myself." Edward said all of this as calmly as he could. Hardly any emotion was showing.
"You shouldn't be mad at yourself, Edward. What happened between Alice and me was fate. It was bound to happen. You have nothing to do with the love Alice and I share. It wasn't because you left me; I already loved her before you decided to leave." Bella said from the backseat of the car.
"She's right Edward; you're not to blame for Bella choosing me." Alice added.
"It just feels like I could have done something different, and you would still be with me." Edward argued.
"No Edward. I would have gone to Alice eventually. My feelings for her were growing fast." Bella argued back.
Edward sighed, and accepted that the blame couldn't be placed on him. Something inside him wanted to be the blame; then that would mean he would still have a chance with Bella.
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I have been, Bella." Edward finally spoke up.
"I accept your apology, but I think you owe Alice an even bigger one." Bella said.
Edward had reached the school, and drove into the parking lot. He was silent until he parked and turned off the car. Once the car was off; he turned his direction towards Alice.
"Bella is right. If anyone needs an apology, it would be you. So I'm sorry for everything I've put you through; I know you were just looking out for Bella when you turned her." Edward glanced away from Alice before he finished what he was saying.
"You're forgiven Edward. I also know you wanted what was best for Bella, and I'm sorry things happened the way they did. If I had a choice; I would have wanted to wait to change Bella too."
"I know. I just wish I could be in your position." Edward glanced at Bella, and then decided to get out of the car.
"I'll talk to you later." Edward said as he closed the door shut, and began walking towards the school.
"That was…interesting." Bella said.
"That's his was of saying sorry about his attitude; he accepts us." Alice said with a smile.
"Yeah, but he still wants to be with me."
"Maybe, but he isn't going to try and hurt me to get to you. I know he wouldn't do that." Alice glanced towards the direction where Edward went.
"As long as he let's us be together without a problem; then that's fine with me."
Alice nodded her head in agreement.
"Well, are you ready to go to class?" Alice asked curiously.
"I have to go sometime. So let's go." Bella said.
Alice got out of her seat, and helped Bella get out of the back. Together, they began walking to class.
Many of the students in the parking lot noticed that something was different with Bella. They stopped what they were doing to just stare at the girl.
"This is so embarrassing." Bella whispered to Alice.
"Get used to it now, because it's going to happen to you a lot." Alice smiled.
Most of the morning continued like this for Bella. Everyone had their eyes locked on her. Mike had his mouth hanging open once he saw her.
"Bella, what happened to you?" Mike asked during English class.
"What do you mean?" Bella pretended not to know what he was talking about.
"You look different, but in a good way." Mike looked Bella up and down. Alice took a step in front of Bella, and stared at Mike angrily.
"Alice sort of gave me a makeover. I have been sick the past week, and Alice thought it would be fun to do while I was stuck at home." Bella lied.
"Oh…well, nice job Alice." Mike commented, and smiled weakly at her.
Alice smiled, and then pulled Bella away from Mike.
During lunch, everyone was talking about the way Bella had looked. Due to the super senses that Bella had recently acquired, she heard all of the gossip from the students. She looked over towards where Jessica and Mike were sitting, and saw that Jessica was staring right back at her.
Once Jessica realized she was caught; she quickly looked away.
"What's the matter?" Mike asked when he saw Jessica turn red.
"Nothing" Jessica murmured.
Alice nudged Bella from underneath the table, and said, "Looks like I may have some competition."
"Shut up" Bella whispered back.
Edward, who was sitting with the two girls, glanced over towards where Jessica was. He smiled only slightly.
"Looks like Alice is right." He commented.
"I'm sure she doesn't like me that way. She's just a friend." Bella looked at Edward.
"I don't think so. I can hear what she is thinking, and right now she is picturing you in a very sexual way." Edwards smile grew a little more when he saw the look on Bella's face.
"You're kidding!" Bella said in disbelief.
Edward just shook his head and continued smiling.
"I told you Bella." Alice said from the side.
Bella glanced back over towards Jessica, and saw that she was looking back at Bella with a stupid grin on her face.
"I can't believe this." Bella groaned.
"What? You don't think it's flattering? You have nothing to worry about, because she's not getting close to you. And if she does get close; I'll be right there with you." Alice said.
"What about during class?" Bella said.
"It's not like she's going to attack you; especially during class." Alice smirked.
"That makes me feel better." Bella said sarcastically.
"I'm glad I could help." Alice replied; ignoring the tone in Bella's voice.
The time came for Alice and Bella to part. They had different classes now, and Bella was going to have to face Jessica by herself.
"I'll see you later, and don't worry about her." Alice glanced over towards Jessica who was walking into the classroom.
"Okay, I think I can handle her if anything happens." Bella said, and then gave Alice a quick kiss on the lips.
"I'll see you later." Alice said as Bella walked inside the classroom.
Jessica was sitting next to Bella's desk; smiling as Bella came into view.
"Hey Bella, you look good." Jessica said when Bella was close enough.
"Thanks, how are you doing today?" Bella said in attempt to change the subject.
"I'm doing well; I just can't get over the way you look. What happened?" Jessica was now staring at Bella's body.
"Alice wanted to give me a makeover while I was sick. Guess people like it." Bella smiled weakly.
"I certainly like it." Jessica watched as Bella took her seat next to her.
"Thank you." Bella said.
Jessica kept her eyes on Bella until class had started. Even then it was hard for Jessica to keep her gaze away from Bella for too long.
The entire class was like that. Bella made sure she didn't look anywhere near Jessica. Once the bell rang for the next class Bella got up quickly, and headed for the door before Jessica could say anything more.
Alice was outside of the door waiting for Bella.
"I have some news." Alice said quietly.
"What is it?" Bella asked after she looked around to see that no one was listening to them.
"Jane is coming." Alice said calmly.
"Jane?" Bella asked.
"Edward never told you about Jane? Of the Volturi?" Alice questioned.
"Not her specifically."
"Well she is one of the more difficult vampires to deal with. She likes to make things complicated."
"That's not good." Bella made a face.
"No, but she isn't impossible to deal with. We still have a chance."
"Well, what do you want me to do? When is she coming?" Bella asked concerned.
"Just go to your last class; I'll be here when you get out. I believe Jane will be here this evening, but we don't really have to do anything but wait for her. There's no need to worry and skip class over it."
"Okay, if you're sure. I could just come with you now just in case." Bella offered.
"No Bella, stay in school. You need your education." Alice smiled.
"Sure…I bet you just want to watch me suffer with Jessica." Bella said.
"That may be part of the reason." Alice laughed lightly.
"Yeah, I thought so."
"Don't worry Bella. Gym will be different this time. You won't trip and stumble all over the place."
"At least I can look forward to that."
"Now go to class." Alice commanded Bella.
"Yes Ma'am. I'll see you later." Bella began walking to her Gym class.
"I'll be waiting." Alice said before Bella was inside.
Gym was different for Bella; just like Alice had said. She actually participated in playing with the others. She was able to hit a volleyball and have it actually go to the other side of the court. She even managed to score for her side.
Jessica was still watching her, but it didn't bother Bella that much anymore. It was only a short while before Gym was over, and it was time for everyone to go home.
Bella hurried to get dressed, and met Alice out in the parking lot.
"Ready to go?" Alice asked casually.
"Yes, let's go." Bella said as she got in the car.
"How much longer do you think we have?" Bella asked.
"An hour or so. Just keeping thinking it's all going to be okay."
"I kind of have to keep thinking that. If I thought otherwise; I'm sure I would be having a panic attack."
"That's good though. The power of a positive mind has its advantages." Alice smiled.
Bella just nodded her head absentmindedly. The rest of the car ride to the Cullen's was silent.
It was only a couple of minutes before Alice and Bella had reached the house. Together they got out of the car, and headed inside the house where they were met by the rest of the Cullen's.
"Do we have a plan?" Alice asked when she entered the house.
"We're just going to be honest, and tell her what really happened. All we can do is hope that she understands the situation." Carlisle said.
"Why did they have to send her?" Edward asked, but mainly he was talking to himself.
"They want it to be difficult for us. It's as simple as that." Carlisle replied.
"We will be okay. We have done nothing wrong." Esme said.
"All we can do is wait and see what happens." Carlisle said.
And so they waited. All of them had come together once again to defend themselves. Bella was upset that she had put them in this position, but it was too late to stop them now. The Cullen's loved Bella, and now she was one of them.
"I love you Alice." Bella whispered into Alice's ear as they were sitting down together.
Alice turned her head, and faced Bella. She smiled and said, "You actually surprised me. I didn't know you were going to say that. And you know I will always love you."
"I just wanted you to know." Bella smiled weakly.
"I know, don't worry." Alice replied.
Bella nodded, and looked at the rest of the Cullen's. They really didn't seem to be too worried, but they were masters at hiding their emotions.
Bella cleared her throat, and they all looked up at her.
"I just wanted to tell you all thank you for doing all of this for me. I know I've been a burden, but this really does mean a lot to me." Bella said.
"You're not a burden to us. We love you very much, and consider you a part of our family. In fact, you are one of us now." Carlisle said.
"I just know I've put you all through a lot, and I feel bad about that."
"There's no need to feel bad; we want to help you the best we can."
"She's here." Alice interrupted their conversation.
"What do we do?" Bella asked concerned.
"Just be ourselves and tell the truth." Esme patted Bella on the back.
Bella nodded as Carlisle went towards the back door. He opened it slowly and put on a wide smile.
"Jane, it's so nice to see you again. Why don't you come in?" Carlisle said in a happy tone.
"Thank you, Carlisle." Jane said calmly as she walked inside the house. Her eyes immediately went to Bella. She smiled evilly when she noticed Bella was a new born.
"And who is this?" Jane asked as she took a couple more steps towards Bella.
"Jane, this is Bella. She is one of us now." Carlisle said.
Alice grabbed Bella's hand, and squeezed it tight. Bella squeezed back just as strong.
"Hello, Jane." Esme said as nicely as she could.
"Esme" Jane acknowledged her, and then turned her attention back towards Carlisle.
"I can clearly see that is she is new. Why did you change her?"
"We had no choice. She had been bitten, and she could have died from her wounds."
"Who bit her?" Jane looked around the room, and then locked eyes with Edward.
"It wasn't me Jane. A new born bit her, and it was too late to save her. We didn't have a choice." Edward responded.
"But don't you know the dangers of a new born? There are consequences to this." Jane smiled weakly.
"Not when there was a human life at risk. We were attacked by new borns, and Bella was hurt. She was dying, and we didn't have any other option." Carlisle spoke.
Jane ignored what Carlisle said and turned towards Bella. She smiled evilly when Bella returned her gaze.
"What is your name?" Jane asked.
"Bella"
"What a pretty name. So, how long have you been one of us?" Jane took another step closer. Alice tensed when she did this.
"A few days." Bella said quietly.
"And how do you like it? Being one of us that is?" Jane questioned.
"I like it a lot. I can even control myself around humans." Bella said happily.
"That can't be true. No one can do that with only being a few days old." Jane said surprised.
"It's true. She went to school yesterday." Carlisle said.
"How amazing. You have a very special gift. I'm sure Aro would like to have someone like you…" Jane was cut off before she could finish her sentence.
"She's staying where she is." Alice said defensively.
"Why don't you let Bella speak?" Jane responded.
"I don't want to go anywhere. I want to stay here." Bella said firmly. She looked Jane straight in the eyes, and never left her gaze.
"Oh, well I'm sorry I asked. It seems that everything is fine here. I think I should be going now." Jane looked a little strange as she said this. She slowly started backing away from Bella.
Bella continued to stare at Jane. She looked at Jane as if she was going to kill her if she didn't leave as soon as possible.
Alice looked at Bella strangely, but then turned her gaze back over to Jane who was approaching the back door.
"Are you leaving so soon?" Carlisle asked confused.
"Yes I am. Sorry for the short visit, but I really must go. Everything looks fine here." Jane went out the back door quickly, and the Cullen's watched as she disappeared into the forest.
Once Jane was gone; everyone turned their attention towards Bella.
"What just happened?" Emmett asked confused.
"Bella, what did you do?" Carlisle seemed curious.
Bella now had a calm look to her face. She smiled weakly at Carlisle.
"I wanted Jane to leave; she was very annoying. I kept imagining what it would be like to tear Jane apart." Bella said innocently.
"Do you think Jane saw what Bella was thinking?" Edward asked Carlisle.
"I don't know. Let me try something out. Bella, I want you to think of something and try to direct it at one of us; like you want only us to hear you." Carlisle said.
"Okay" Bella glanced at Alice, and thought of something she only wanted Alice to know.
A second later Alice smiled widely. "I can hear her." She said excitedly.
"That's great" Carlisle said enthusiastically.
"So Bella can communicate through the mind? But that doesn't explain why Jane went away so quickly. I don't think she would be afraid of a new born." Edward commented.
"That's true…Bella, what were you feeling when you were thinking of tearing Jane apart?" Carlisle asked.
"I was just really angry, and I wanted her to leave most of all." Bella replied.
"Maybe she has the power of persuasion as well?" Esme suggested.
"You could be right about that. Bella, try to make one of us do something with your thoughts." Carlisle said.
Bella smiled, and turned to Alice once more. A couple of seconds later Alice leaned in towards Bella and kissed her on the lips.
"Wow, I wish I had that ability." Emmett commented, and looked toward Rosalie who didn't seem too happy that he said that.
"Choose your words wisely." Rosalie commented.
"What were you thinking about?" Carlisle asked Bella.
"I just thought that I wanted Alice to kiss me really bad."
"And what were you feeling Alice?"
"I felt a sudden urge to kiss Bella. It was like that's all I wanted to do. My mind was telling me that I had to kiss her, or I wouldn't feel any relief until I did it." Alice replied.
"I think we know what your power is, Bella." Carlisle smiled.
"I can control minds?" Bella asked.
"No exactly control, but you can make them want something so bad that they can't relax until they have done it." Carlisle replied.
"So is that why Jane left without any consequences; because I wanted her to leave?" Bella asked.
"I believe so." said Carlisle.
"This could be good." Bella smiled widely, and looked at Alice.
"You're not thinking of using it on me are you?" Alice asked.
"Not if you're a good girl." Bella smiled seductively.
Alice smiled, and leaned in to kiss Bella on the lips once more.
Emmett coughed loudly so the two girls would get the hint.
Edward had turned away from the girls. It seemed that it was still hard for him to look at the two of them when they kissed.
"So it's all over then? No more Volturi coming after us?" Bella asked.
"No, at least they're not coming after us now. They will find any excuse to come back here though." Carlisle commented.
"If they do come back; we can always get Bella to make them leave." Alice laughed lightly.
"I'm so glad it's over. Now I can get back to living a normal life." Bella said.
"Normal? Nothing is normal when you're a vampire." Edward said.
"That's true. At least I can have a stress free life for a while."
"Well, you still have to tell your mother about us." Alice smiled, and kissed Bella lightly on the hand.
"Oh yeah…she's going to want to meet you." Bella said.
"That's perfectly fine with me. What we need to think about is what you're going to look like when she sees you." Alice said.
"I can just say it's the lack of sun that's made me pale, and I can keep wearing those contacts you've been giving me. Everything should be okay."
"It seems like you know the answer to everything now." Alice smiled.
"I learned from the master."
One week later
"Your mom seems to like me." Alice said as she moved closer to Bella; who was sitting on the edge of her bed.
"I know she likes you. She wouldn't have come back to Forks for nothing." Bella replied.
"That was very nice of her to do that for you. She really does love you." Alice moved her hand slowly up Bella's thigh.
"I know she loves me. It seems that everything really is going to be okay. They haven't mentioned anything about the change in my appearance."
"We can cover it up well." Alice said.
Bella nodded her head, and watched Alice's hand creep up Bella's thigh even higher. She licked her lips, and then looked up at Alice. Alice kissed Bella once they made eye contact.
Their kissing progressed, and soon Alice was pushing Bella gently down against the bed. Alice crawled on top of Bella, and looked down at her lovingly.
"So what's going to happen now?" Bella questioned quietly.
"We live our life together." Alice replied.
"Forever" Bella said quietly.
"I wouldn't want it any other way." Alice smiled brightly.
"I love you so much Alice." Bella said.
"And I will always love you. I'm looking forward to spending an eternity with you." Alice moved closer towards Bella, and closed the gap between their lips with her own.
And the two girls continued their life together. Alice and Bella were married not long after Bella graduated college for the first time. They eventually outlived everyone in Forks, and the Cullen's moved on. Bella was right there with them of course. She had outlived her parents, and all of her old friends. She and Alice lived forever, and they were never separated. Alice had kept her promise; she never left Bella again. Together they will be until the end of the world comes.
And Jessica was able to find a very nice girl who loved her unconditionally.
A/N: I decided to give Jessica a break, even though that was kind of random. Well, I'm not very good at ending things but I hope this chapter was good enough. That's the end for this story. Bella has showered, and it changed her life. I may write more stories with these particular characters, but i'm thinking of sticking with one shots for now. Summer is here, and i'm sure I will want to write something fun while i'm away from school. If you like my style of writing, put me on author alert because i'm already thinking of a short story I could write with Alice and Bella. Well, thank you for all your support, reviews, alerts, and everything else. Most of all, just thank you for reading. Well, I suppose it's goodbye for now.
