Disclaimer: All Twilight characters belong to Stephanie Meyers, while I'm just teasing and bending them for a bit. No profit is being collected from the fiction contained within.

The storyline and non-Twilight characters are my creative fault and mine alone.

This storyline has women loving women. If this kind of love scares you, well darling turn around and go back the other way. There are plenty of splendid writers who delve into straight couple relationships; for the most part, I'm just not one of them.

The rating is M just to be on the safe side, do to the language and the possibility of the sex scenes becoming a bit graphic but no promises in that area. Oh, there will also be mention of threesomes and 'gasp horror' vampires and other supernatural creatures getting it on with each other.

All boo boos, snafus and misdeeds within the story are all mine and mine alone.

Rosalie had just cleared the wall to the villa for a second time having gone to retrieve Sian, Leah and Jacob's clothing along with the first aid bag Alice had brought along when she heard Gabriella's scream. In a flash she took charge of what was happening in the courtyard, sending Alice and Bella to the villa knowing full well the two would want to be there.

Tempted to head slap Jasper out of his haze of love the beautiful blond held back, "Jasper get your fucking head out of your ass and do something." She snarled at him, pointing towards the woodpile, "like getting a fire going."

Jasper snapped his head towards her and almost growled in return at her for interrupting him but Annika touched his arm calming him down. With a grunt he followed the golden haired woman to the woodpile and began building a pyre.

After glaring at her lanky brother for a few seconds, Rosalie went to take care of Jacob who had finally regained consciousness and now in his human form but her mind was still on Jasper. If anything horrible had happened to Gabriella as far as she was concerned he was to blame. She had seen him standing there doing nothing but gawking at the golden-haired female. Though the beautiful vampire wasn't positive, she was pretty damn sure that while Gabriella was tangling with the ancient the other free newborn had gone after them. Thus putting the woman in danger having to deal with both at the same time.

The night before Jasper had gone on and on about not becoming distracted and covering each other's back. The soldier in him had come out and he had talked to them like they were greenhorns but in the end he was the one who had acted like one. It was this fact that pissed Rosalie off. He had, had an opportunity to stop the newborn girl from entering the villa, but instead he just stayed with Annika even though she no longer posed a threat.

'Like a fucking hormonal teenager,' she thought watching the two new lovebirds light the bonfire with a headshake. 'Gabi was right about that, he maybe an empath but he sucks at handling his own feelings.'

"There, it should be good to go in a few minutes," Jasper said as he brushed his hands on his pants. "I'm sure you three can handle the disposal. We're going to check on the others."

Not waiting for a reply he grabbed Annika's hand and the two blurred towards the villa.

"Told Jasper not to doubt Ali," Emmett commented as he tossed a few big logs on the burning fire.

"About what," Jake asked as he slipped into his clothes.

The big vampire chuckled, "she told him he would find his true soul mate but he had dismissed the idea."

"Should we be joining them?" The young man asked casting his eyes towards the villa.

"We will but we need to dispose of the bodies this first," Rosalie answered waving hands towards the remains.

"Yep, even though they are torn to pieces it's best to torch them right away or their bodies will start to bond back together," Emmett added watching the flames.

"Damn good thing we're surrounded by nothing," Rosalie remarked as she stared at the huge bonfire.

"Yeah wouldn't do to have any locals catching wind of this," her husband said with a smile.

Jake stared at the fire with his one good eye, the other one professionally doctored and bandaged by Rosalie, "will it get hot enough to burn the werewolves?"

Rosalie nodded, "first we'll toss Edward and the other two on, for whatever reason, our bodies are like a fuel to the fire increasing the heat so much it, it'll he hotter then hell. The only thing that will be left of the werewolves will be ashes and perhaps some of the larger bones like the skull and pelvis."

"Which yours truly," Emmett said with a grin and a thump on his chest. "Will pulverize into dust if needed."

"Let's get this done boys, I also want to check on the others," the beautiful blond said as she began tossing Mina's limbs into the fire.

Nodding Emmett grabbed the remains of his brother and frowned; he had never gotten close to Edward even after all the decades of living together. The big man couldn't even find a sliver of remorse for the young man's demise. People had always thought his Rosalie was a coldhearted bitch but in Emmett's opinion the callous one in the family was Edward. He just hid it behind his straitlaced and pompous demeanor.

Picking up the young man's head, the big vampire stared at it for several seconds. The boy's facial expression was locked in his last scream. It was rather an awesome image as far as Emmett was concerned and he was tempted to take the head home.

"Don't even think it Emmett," the blond beauty said shaking her head.

"But babe, it's rather cool looking and maybe we could chip it so it could do musical numbers like that trout." Grinning not surprised that his mate had read his mind.

"Dude that's just sick," Jake said though a small curl of a smile touched his lips at the idea.

"No. I do not want to see that mug every damn day and I know for certain it would absolutely horrify Esme and traumatize Carlisle. Neither one would see the humor in it."

"Ah man, another cool idea shot down because no one in the family has a decent sense of morbid humor. You'd think being vampires it would be more commonplace. Oh well, hope you enjoy hell, Edward cause that's where you're going bro," Emmett said to the head before shooting it into the bonfire like he was lobbing a basketball into a hoop.

The three of them together worked quickly and as Rosalie predicted the intensity of the fire increased rapidly as the vampires bodies were added forcing the three to move back from the heat. With ease they tossed the werewolves remains onto the pyre from a safe distance.

A tiny satisfied smile touched Rosalie's lips as she listened to the snapping and crackling of the fire as it consumed the remains of Edward and his cohorts. The grief she might've felt if the young man had died in the past had ceased to exist when she found out what he had done to Alice. Nope, like her husband, the beautiful blond had no tears for Edward's end.

Yet as satisfying as that was, Rosalie was still pissed. There was still Jasper to confront. "Come let's go," she said turning towards the villa.

(Scene Shift)

There was no possible way to describe the agony her body suffering. She'd experienced something like this torture when she was being transformed from human to vampire. It was just as hellish as it was back then; the only difference Gabriella could perceive was this time it might not ever end. If there were a time where when she thought being human would be preferable to being a vampire it was currently. The lithe vampire was pretty damn sure, if she were human she'd be out cold from the first incendiary wave or sailing on an ethereal string to escape or perhaps truly dead. All three options seemed preferable to the resilience and regenerative ability of being a vampire was presenting to her for the moment.

Though her body felt like it was continually being dunked in Magic acid, Gabriella could still perceive the other two vampires. After her first scream she had clenched her jaw down tight. There was no way in hell the lithe vampire would allow herself to show anymore weakness then what she had, especially in front of the ancient.

After several humiliating and painful minutes, Meryatum had by using his legs finally crab crawled his way free from the wall. Even though he was suffering from the two daggers still lodged inside him, the ancient was still able to let out cruel snicker as his eyes landed on Gabriella. He had heard her scream and now he was able to witness the agony she was undergoing from Laura's venom. Yet, as delightful as it was for him to the ancient knew he had to get out of there.

"Laura," he rasped out there was no silk in his voice now as he tried to get the girl's attention. "Remove these damn daggers from me and get us out of here before the bitch's friends arrive."

She didn't even acknowledge the ancient vampire's presence. Laura just stared at the beautiful woman, her crimson eyes filled with tears that wouldn't shed. The moment Gabriella had screamed, Laura had released her hold on the woman whose scent had captivated and teased her; but when Gabriella had disappeared it had made the dark haired girl mad. Now, she felt horrible and helpless watching the lithe vampire's body contorting under the unfathomable pain that was happening inside.

The ancient was flabbergasted. Laura had never ignored him. She was the easiest one for him to manipulate. It was hard to know Laura's maturity level, she was definitely younger emotionally and perhaps mentally then her physical age or appearance conveyed. The dark haired girl had lived on the streets since she was four years old. First with her mother until she was nine when her mother disappeared without a trace from her life. Then when Laura was twelve George found her scrounging around for food in an alleyway in his stomping grounds. By the time she was thirteen, George had changed their relationship from friends to lovers and Laura, well she just followed his lead.

"Get these knives out of me!" He yelled glaring at her.

Laura shook her head no. She felt no compulsion to listen to him anymore. Any attachment to him vanished when the lithe vampire appeared in front of her like an angel. All his silky words and promises didn't matter to her.

Growling, Meryatum, "don't tell me no! Leave the bitch and come here!" He snapped out. "You obey…"

Anything else he might have said was cut off by Laura who had jumped up from her position on the floor and wrapped her small hands around his throat and slammed him into the wall he had just escaped. She didn't speak a word, which was normal for her. Laura just glowered at him as her hands squeezed harder causing small fissures in the ancient's skin to open from the pressure. The young girl was all set for ripping the ancient being a part, no matter, that he was her creator but the sound of rushing feet stop her momentarily.

Sian burst into the room seconds after Laura had pinned the flailing ancient to the wall, but she ignored the two when her sapphire eyes landed on Gabriella's withering body. Her stomach coiled up first into a tight wad and then plummeted to her toes at the sight. The tigress now in human form sailed over to her lover pulled her into her arms. Feeling completely helpless and lost Sian did the only thing she think and began crooning softly hoping to offer what comfort she could.

Only a step behind, Leah who was also in human form came to a halt as if she had hit an invisible wall. Her dark eyes widened for a second as she took everything in and then narrowed as she stared at the two vampires. She had no idea who did what and at that point she fucking didn't care. Seeing Gabriella's quaking form and hearing Sian's sobbing coos, the wolf in her was bristling with rage. Trembling, she was about to shift when she felt a cold hand on her arm.

"Leah don't, we need answers first." Alice's soft melodic voice rang in her ears. As much as she wanted to add her songs of comfort she needed to find out what the hell happened to Gabriella. Her instinct was telling her the girl who was barely controlling her rage was important to the situation as well and she needed to find out why before they went any further in their actions. "Go be with Gabi and Sian they need your strength."

"Yeah, we'll take care of this," Bella remarked as she stared at the two vampires. Her brows wrinkled a little in confusion from the scene being played out in front of her but hey she was willing to go with the flow.

It took several seconds for the young woman to gather in her wolf's rage but finally Leah did and gave the two a quick nod in understanding. It was her turn to be the strong one of the three. Inhaling deeply to settle her nerves, Leah scooted over to her lovers and encircled them both with her arms and legs. Adding her own sounds of comfort not only for Gabriella but for Sian as well.

Forcing herself to remain calm and on task, Alice walked over to where Laura had Meryatum pinned to the wall. Without hesitation she touched the taller girl's shoulder, "do not kill him yet. We need answers."

Seeing the girl go rock still, the petite vampire took that as acquiescence to her request. Alice then placed her focus on the ancient who had finally stilled his legs; his beady red eyes were darting all over the place.

"Meryatum, it would seem not all of your cohorts are happy with you," she began her tone neutral as she stared at the ancient. The petite vampire smirked as his surprised expression mixing in with his pain. "Oh yes, we know who you are and what you had planned." Tilting her head slightly, "you'd been better off if you'd have never gotten involved with Edward in New York."

Bella watched in silent wonder at her lover. The composure Alice was showing was amazing, because she knew it wasn't easy for her pixie hearing and seeing their friend in such pain. She trusted her Alice, even if her body was humming for retribution though she wasn't exactly sure whom to target. Her own beast was itching to make use of the daggers. Gabriella had explained how wicked the blades were but she held herself back.

Alice glanced over at Laura who just stood there keeping her crushing grip on Meryatum's throat and frowned deeply. "But apparently both you and Edward had a great deal in common. Taking perverse pleasure in destroying the lives of innocent children."

"I…made…gods…from…street rats," he managed to rasp out. "That betrayed…me."

A harsh laugh filled the room as Annika followed by Jasper entered the room, "betrayed you?" The golden-haired woman questioned scathingly. "You used us, both you and Edward. Weaving lies of shit and I was even beginning to believe it. I could hear your slimy ass voice in my head coaxing me and if not for her," pointing towards Gabriella with a sad frown touching her lips. "I think I'd have become like the others following you unwaveringly."

Meryatum hissed not only from anger at seeing the woman he had chosen to be his queen turning against him but also from pain as Laura managed to dig her fingers deeper into his neck. He wanted to scream at her, curse her but all that came out was a gurgle.

Alice held up her hand, "I want to know first what happened to Gabi and secondly why her wounds aren't healing we need know everything so we can heal her."

"It's Laura's venom. Yesterday she inadvertently killed one of the werewolves when he got too rough. She bit him hard and didn't let go until I pulled her off. He died from what her venom was doing to his body." Annika whispered as she focused on the lithe vampire.

It was like a stun grenade; no make that a stun bomb had gone off in the room rendering those listening to her motionless and speechless.

Meryatum though managed to choke out, "an eternity of suffering unless you cut her up and toss into the fire," and his lips creased into a smirk, but that didn't last long.

Having held her fury off as long as she could, Laura just snapped and began twisting and pulling on her creator's neck. The wounds Gabriella had already started with the daggers assisted her as she managed to yank his howling head off in a matter of seconds. She was in a frenzy tearing away at his arms and throwing bits of Meryatum everywhere causing the others to duck so not to get hit by a flying limb.

The pure ferociousness of the girl's nature astounded everyone even Jasper who had the most experience with newborns was taken aback by the girl and her raging emotions. In fact the power of her feelings was like a huge tsunami that sent him to his knees as they washed over him. He had been able to block the grief and fear Sian and Leah were releasing but not Laura's rage.

Once Laura was finished she dropped to her knees in front of Jasper, holding out the daggers to him she bowed her head in submission to the group.

"She's full of remorse now," Jasper remarked his voice strained from all the raw emotions the girl was pumping out. Taking the proffered blades in hand.

Bella knew she was gaping at the girl but couldn't stop herself. The girl's rapid change of demeanor was startling. "Shit, talk about your mood swings."

Annika stared at the girl who had slowly begun to wiggle her presence into the golden-haired woman's heart. "Please don't kill her," she pleaded to the group. "Laura didn't mean to hurt her. I think she was just so captivated by your friend. You saw how she is all emotion, she doesn't really have a lot of control in that area."

"Which," Alice began softly. "Makes her an extremely dangerous vampire." Her eyes went from Laura to Gabriella whose shudders were so strong that both Sian and Leah's bodies were shaking from the spasms.

"Alice is right, Annika," Jasper said looking up towards the woman who had stolen his heart. "Laura is a danger to everyone around her. The best thing for everyone would be to eliminate her as a threat."

"No," Sian cut into the conversation. Her face was wet from the silent tears she was shedding. "If the wee one were a danger to everyone then they'd all be dead, but they're not. I may not know a lot about newborns but I can tell you right now her current behavior isn't what you'd come to expect." She was about to go on but another violent tremor from Gabriella stopped her.

"I may want her dead for what she did but that's not what Gabi will want," Leah added softly as she ran her fingers through her lover's short hair. "She'd give the girl a chance, because in her eyes Laura is just a kid and she'll be royally pissed if we didn't at least give the girl a chance."

Alice nodded in agreement with the two women, nor did their statements bewilder her, "you're right." Crouching down next to the young girl, she gently lifted Laura's chin so their eyes could meet. For a few seconds she didn't say anything as her eyes got that distant look in them as a vision played out for her. "Laura we're not going to kill you but there will be rules for you to obey, which we'll discuss later do you understand?"

"Thank you," Annika murmured as she knelt down and scooped the nodding young girl into her arms.

Moving off his knees Jasper stood up shaking his head as much as he didn't want to upset Annika he just couldn't let it go. "That's a big mistake. Her emotions are all over the board Ali." He had the knowledge from years of experience dealing with newborns. Annika, herself being a newborn was going to struggle but Laura was going to be far worse.

Rocking back on her heels she gazed up at the lanky blond, "they are but I had a vision and with proper guidance, assistance," looking over at Annika," and love she'll do fine."

Watching his ex-wife gaze at whom he hoped would be his future wife Jasper swallowed with dread, knowing he would have to deal with having Laura and her supernova emotions.

"Just think of it as fine tune training for your gift Jasper," Bella said seeing the apprehension on the lanky blond was rather pleasing to her. Yeah encountering Edward had stirred up the feelings of hurt and betrayal the two had caused so lapsing back in her displeasure towards Jasper wasn't too odd. "Gabi says for your gift to grow you've gotta challenge it."

"Or maybe you should focus on dealing with your own emotions instead of your gift," Rosalie cut in as she, Emmett and Jake walked into the room. Her eyes fell towards Gabriella, "fuck." Swirling around she unleashed the anger that had building on her brother, "this is your fault Jasper. If you hadn't of been drooling over her," pointing at Annika, "you could've prevented this."

"You're right, I screwed up," he answered softly. "I allowed myself to get swept away and neglected my duty to you all." Jasper may not of gotten on with the older vampire, mainly because she kept digging at him forcing him to see truths he wanted to avoid but he had come to respect her. Bowing his head in sorrow and guilt, "I'm truly sorry."

"Rosalie that's enough for now," Alice chimed in stopping the taller woman from continuing her attack on the lanky blond. "We've dawdled here long enough. It's time to take care of Gabi."

"But…" Annika began but was stopped by the petite vampire.

"Yes, yes," waving her had dismissively. "The werewolf died but you see, you all didn't have Sara," Alice said with a small smile. "First we need to get rid of the refuse," motioning her hands towards some of Meryatum's remains. "Then Gabi needs to get back to Forks as quick as possible."

(Time Shift-Location Forks, WA)

With a bit of stealth, a tad of thievery and a whole hell of a lot of speed the group, minus Jasper, Annika and Laura, made it to Sara and Conrad's cottage in Forks in record time. The other three were sent to the Denali clan by Alice. She knew her cousins would be able to help with both Annika and Laura. Of course, removing Jasper until things were resolved was just an added bonus to the whole idea. He wasn't high on anyone's list at the moment and it would be better for him to be elsewhere.

Dismissing her ex from her mind Alice watched as Sara carefully examined Gabriella, humming softly as she did. Unlike Conrad and Dani who were beside themselves with grief, Sara went into full healer mode. She had the lithe vampire completely stripped and she combed over her mother-in-law's body, which was no longer twitching with a practiced eye and touch. Taking samples from the open wound, which had just began to weep and also a sample of the woman's own venom.

Sighing Alice touched Gabriella's brow as she along with the Sian and Leah waited for Sara who was studying the samples she had taken to speak. There were distinct changes happening to the lithe vampire. The most obvious was that her skin was loosing the vampire marble aspect to it. Though the pigment was still pale the skin wasn't, as cold and hard one would expect from a vampire.

"So from what you understand this girl's venom reacted quickly on the werewolf once she began feeding on him," Sara said softly as she moved away from the samples she had been studying.

"Yes," Alice answered. "According to Annika he was dead in less then twenty minutes."

"Sian, my dear, how long does it take for the venom of a were to change a human?" Glancing over at the tigress who was being held in Leah's strong arms.

"Varies a bit but no longer then twenty-four hours though." The woman replied.

"Kind of what I thought, less internal structural changes and then venom isn't an integral part of a werecreature's survival, just the catalyst to the transformation." Sara murmured pinching the bridge of her nose in thought. "Whereas for vampires the venom is also the intergral part of their life force, their energy." A knock on the door interrupted the woman's musings, "come in." She announced after draping Gabriella's body with a sheet.

Rosalie entered carrying a tray of food followed by Bella who was also carrying a tray of drinks.

"Seeing how hungry Jacob was, Esme thought you both could do with some food," Rosalie replied softly as she brought the tray over to the two women.

"And coffee," Bella added as she put her tray down and took a cup over to Sara who smiled gratefully and took a long sip.

Sian glanced at the tray but the way her stomach was curling there was no way she could eat, "thank you but I wouldn't even be able to choke it down right now."

"Thanks Rosalie," Leah remarked as she grabbed one of the sandwiches. Unlike Sian, she was massively hungry; food had always been a balm for her nerves.

"You were discussing the differences between our venom and the werewolves and what is does to the human body. Will this make a difference for Gabi?" Bella asked as she glided over to Alice.

"Hmmm? Yes, I believe it will," leaning down and feathering Gabriella's face. The woman's emerald eyes sparkled as she gazed at the woman who had been in her life for twenty plus years. "Over the years of living with Gabi and our discussions I've glommed onto a bit of an understanding about the power of your venom."

"Our life force," Alice murmured.

"Yes, that's what Gabi calls it. She told me once a vampire could exist without feedings, for centuries albeit in a comatose like state but remove the venom and you die." She paused for a second to take another sip of her coffee, "of course, she also discussed the metaphysical components, which brings me to you Bella."

"Me?" Bella blinked over at the older woman.

"Yes, I can't undo what has already happened but I think together we can stop it from going further. You're going to bite Gabi in these locations," pointing towards the lithe vampires inner thighs, stomach and neck areas. "So your venom can spread quickly." The older woman smiled slightly at the various expressions of disbelief from the other women in the room. "I know it seems rather counterintuitive but then so is starting small control fires to but out a larger uncontrolled wildfire."

Tapping her chin lightly Alice closed her eyes in thought, "life force," she murmured and then a small smile touched her lips. "You believe that because of Bella's gift her venom will act as a counteragent to Laura's better then the rest of ours."

"But I thought it was just kinetic energy," Bella said rubbing the temples of her head.

"Yes, partly but it comes from you, everything about you. Your belief, your life force, your venom it is all connected child." Sara remarked.

"Enough bloody chit-chat," Sian broke in as she moved out of Leah's arms. "Is this our only chance of stopping Gabi from dying?"

"Yes. Her body, like the werewolf's won't be able to handle the transformation the closer she gets to being human."

"Then let's do it," Leah said determination filling her voice.

Nodding Sara motioned Bella to begin, "Bella start at her throat and work your way down. The rest of you will need to hold her down because her body will thrash about from the pain."

While Alice and Rosalie went to hold down her legs, Sian and Leah went to pin down her shoulders and Bella rather shyly straddled the sheet-covered hips. With an encouraging nod from both Sian and Leah, the young woman leaned down her lips drawing close to the ragged tear. A scintillating aroma tickled her nose as she placed first a caring kiss on the wound before sinking her teeth into the flesh. She had been prepared for the textural shift in Gabriella's skin and even the warmth but what she hadn't been prepared for was the taste.

'If this is the taste that girl had no wonder she feasted on Gabi,' Bella's mind rattled as the sweetness of Gabriella's venom touched her tongue.

Forcing herself not to drink in the delicious liquid, Bella tenderly swirled her venom over the wound with her tongue and lips. A slight shudder from the lithe vampire was all the incentive to she needed move on to her next location.

The task Bella discovered had grown more difficult with each bite as Sara had predicted. By the time she had finished, Gabriella was silently screaming and would've thrashed herself off the bed if not for the four women holding her in place. Wretchedness filled the young woman's golden eyes and face as she watched the woman writhe in agony, knowing it was her venom causing this new bath of pain.

"I know it's devastating to see," Sara whispered as she wrapped her arms around Bella to comfort the girl and herself. "But it means your venom is working."

All Bella could do was nod her head in agreement hoping it would be over soon for the lithe vampire.

(Time Shift-Location Charlie's house)

Cuddling into Bella, Alice released a sigh of contentment. She was thoroughly delighted to be back in their room in Charlie's house. First they had stayed at Conrad and Sara's cottage until Gabriella on the third day popped off the bed, literally. The lithe vampire had teleported away taking Sian and Leah who had been holding her along for the ride. Thinking back on the expressions of everyone when the three returned ten hours later, Alice let loose a giggle.

"What's so funny?" Bella asked as she ran her hand through her pixie's black locks.

"Oh just thinking about Gabi, Sian and Leah's rather strange and unexpected trip and how everyone reacted." She answered as she brushed a kiss on her lover's collarbone.

"Yeah, it was pretty funny especially after they had finished explaining why they couldn't call and how come it took so long. Certainly a lot of people picking their jaws up off the floor, me included." Scrunching her face slightly, "it's still kind of hard to believe."

Tilting her head back her eyes connecting with Bella's, "actually if you think about it, it really isn't that hard to believe. I mean when Gabi was human she traveled out of body following threads to different locations, which we can now assume was in reality different worlds and when she became a vampire she could teleport. It stands to reason that now since she's probably one third human her two gifts would combine together."

"Have to admit being able to teleport to alternate universes sounds pretty cool," she remarked thinking of the endless possibilities. "Definitely makes living for an eternity more adventurous."

"Yep, oh and Gabi already has plans to take us with them to thank you for saying her life," Alice remarked her amber eyes sparkling at her lover.

"That would be awesome." Smiling deeply at the idea. "Have to say she certainly has adjusted to the differences in her body."

"Well, that's Gabi. To her having to eat human food on occasion along with drinking blood just means experiencing more in life."

"I think, though, I agree with Emmett that her eyes being different colors is the coolest part of her physical changes."

"It's called heterochromia iridium sweetie and according to Gabi that's the way they were when she was human, one light gray and one golden brown. It has nothing to with human and vampire mixture like Em keeps touting, so no getting any ideas missy." Tapping Bella's nose lightly, "I love your eyes just the way they are."

It was true she could get lost in those golden eyes gazing at her. As far as Alice was concerned, she was the luckiest being on the planet. She wanted, as cliché as it sounded to shout it from the roof tops that Bella Swan was her mate for eternity. Alice wanted everyone to understand that the beautiful woman lying next to her was taken and no one was allowed to think otherwise.

"Bella, I…" Alice paused as she felt her mouth go dry. "I'll be right back." She said as she skittered off the bed.

"Okay," she murmured quirking an eyebrow at the sudden change in her pixie.

Bella found the view of her pixie's naked backside well worth the peculiar shift in their conversation. It was quite a pleasurable view, a venom pooling in the mouth kind of view as Alice was bending over the desk looking for something. The young woman's mind went into sexual overdrive picturing what she could be doing to her little pixie in such a position.

'Lord, I'm turning into Emmett,' she thought as she scoped out Alice's perfectly shaped naked ass. 'Oh fuck me,' her mind trilled as Alice leaned over further giving Bella more to view. 'Dirty thoughts, really, really dirty thoughts.' It took a lot of will power not to jump off the bed herself and follow through on the myriad of images running wild in her mind, but Bella held back.

Apparently, finding what she wanted her pixie spun around offering Bella another lovely image and she would of drooled all over herself if she hadn't swallowed the venom that was filling in her mouth. Her eyes traced every sensual curve on her lover's body from her breasts all the way down to her calf muscles. 'This is beauty walking.' She thought as her eyes trailed back up becoming mesmerized by her lover's amber eyes and dimpled smile as Alice walked back to the bed.

The petite vampire wasn't sure if this was the right time, but her instincts kept shouting yes. In the back of her mind she could hear Gabriella's rich voice telling her, "it's not the setting but the feelings that'll make it perfect." Steeling her resolve, she sat on the bed and took Bella's left hand in her own.

"Bella," Alice's nervousness was getting the better of the usually eloquent vampire and instead of the elegant softly spoke phrases she wanted to say she stumbled rapidly over all her words. "I want to marry you. I love you so much with every fiber of my being. I'm not saying right away or anything, because I know how you feel about marriage but I want you to understand is that I really hope you'll see us being married as a future plan." Alice opened her right hand revealing a ¼ ct diamond imbedded in platinum ring that was elegant in its simple design.

Even as a vampire Bella had a hard time keeping up with what Alice was saying because of how fast the words were coming out of her mouth, but there was nothing wrong with her eyesight as she stared at the engagement ring. She couldn't stop her jaw from dropping as she stared at the simple ring. It was the perfect ring for Bella who hated anything that yelled ostentatious. Yet, she didn't say a word and except for her jaw, dropping and her eyes gazing at the ring she didn't move. In Bella's defense most of her mind was still locked in the fantasy involving Alice bending over and only a small part of her was registering the meaning of the ring.

Usually for a vampire years seem to pass in seconds but for Alice it felt like years were passing as the seconds of silence began building between the two. 'It's too soon,' her mind raced. 'Damn it, I pushed too fast.'

"I'm sorry Bella, uh just forget I asked." Alice blurted out panic laced her voice. "I realize it's not the right time at all. I mean we're both naked," 'and feeling very vulnerable and kind of stupid and really, really small.' Her eyes dropping from her beloved's face to the sparkling ring in her hand.

Finally, ripping her eyes away from the ring, Bella looked at Alice whose head was bowed down, "you want to marry me? As in walking down the aisle and exchanging vows, committing ourselves to each other forever."

Alice nodded lifting her head and looking very much like a deer in the headlights. It was easy to see the panic in her amber eyes.

"Wow," Bella said slowly. Taking the ring from Alice's slightly trembling hand, she slid it onto the third finger of her left hand. "Oh baby, I love you." She announced as she crushed her mate to her.

It was a damn good thing Alice didn't need to breathe because there was no way in hell she could have gotten oxygen into her system by the way Bella was squeezing her and she didn't care. She was just thrilled and relieved by her lover's reaction.

Finally, Bella eased up on her hug and kissed Alice who returned it with enthusiasm.

"I want to get you ring as well," Bella said softly after their kiss resting her forehead against Alice's. "I want everyone to know you're mine. That to flirt with you is inviting danger from me."

As relief flooded into Alice she began to giggle lightly, "anyone who flirts with will do so at their own risk, except maybe for Gabi."

"Hell, that's a given flirting is like air to her," Bella giggled back as she pulled her lover tightly. "Wow, I never thought I'd get excited about the idea of getting engaged but I am."

A mischievous glint touched Alice's eyes and twitched at her lips, "ooh we should go shopping for my engagement ring."

"Er, uh well I kinda thought I should do that without you, you know maybe Gabi or someone," Bella remarked quickly, because she knew shopping for a ring would go way beyond that in no time with her pixie. "So the ring would be a surprise for you."

"Hmmm, you're right sweetie," she cooed out stroking Bella's cheek. "It's only fair."

Taken aback Bella blinked at her little pixie for giving in so fast. "I am?"

"Uh huh," Alice nodded with a very dangerous smile. "And while you're out shopping for my ring I can plan our engagement party."

"Party? As in party?" The young woman felt her stomach wrinkle at the idea. She hated parties, hated having attention anywhere near her and this was a twofold threat. "Ali…"

"Sweetie, I know you don't like parties but this is a good excuse for everyone to celebrate the past events as well as us becoming engaged. Please Bella." She said nuzzling her lover's neck.

Her angel's voice was so soft, so tender; she knew it would hurt her if she said no, 'and really, one party? Come on Bella suck it up for your pixie.' Sighing, "for you baby anything."

Alice didn't squeal, she didn't clap her hands in joy; nope she grabbed Bella's face in her tiny hands and kissed her lightly at first. Then she proceeded to thank her lover thoroughly, by showing being pussy whupped wasn't such a bad thing especially when it was her pixie's tongue doing the whipping.
