Chapter 12: By The Angel We are Shadowhunters

Jasper POV

We were all sitting around silently doing our own thing. Rose and Alice were looking at a fashion magazine while Esme looked at a house designing magazine. Carlisle was on the computer and Emmett was playing with Alex on Mario Cart on the Xbox.

I just sat silently thinking. Thinking about Bella. My mind was all over the place. How could she be immortal? Was she even? She hasn't changed. What in the world was she? She wasn't a vampire, she had a heart and blood. She wasn't a werewolf, she didn't smell like one.

What was she? Those were the only creatures I knew of. Was there more than just us vampires and werewolves? That was kinda a scary thought.

I quickly tensed as someone knocked on the door. It was very rare to have someone come up to our doorstep. Everyone knew to stay the heck away.

Everyone glances up in surprise. How could we have not heard the person come up to the door? We hear everything and anything for miles.

Emmett pause's his game while the girls set down their magazines and Carlisle closes his computer top and stands, heading at human pace to the door.

We hear Carlisle open the door and speak to the person.

"Can I help you?" He asks. I see Edward frown in surprise.

"Yes." Comes a females voice.

Bella! But what's she doing here? And how come we never heard her come to the door?

I frown slightly when I only hear Carlisle's light foot steps as he steps aside and leads them toward the living room where we all are.

Bella appears with what I think she said where her cousins, Xena and Iain, and also kids from our school. Their all wearing gear from the last time we saw them but no weapons.

Bella ignores our surprised stairs and Alex's glare and turns to Carlisle.

"I need to borrow one of your family members." She states simply.

He nods frowning and motions for me to join them. Everyone watches us cautiously. Bella rolls her eyes.

"Carlisle?" I ask, frowning. He shrugs and glances at Bella and them. She just narrows her eyes and give a tight shrug.

"We'll be back. And he will come back alive!" She snaps, pulling me out the door with Xena and Iain following close behind.

Bella bring us out to the forest and creates some kind of portal. Xena and Iain go first. She glances back at me noticing my nervousness and hesitation. She smirks.

"Suck it up vampire boy. Your hanging with a professional." She says before pushing me through the portal. She flips through the portal landing lightly on her feet as it closes behind her. She watchs as the we try to clear our heads as we stand up.

Once everyone is up we walk over to one those tall grave things that looks like an extremely small house. She open the gates letting Xena and Iain go first. She puts her hand out stopping me.

"This is private entrance, no one is to know about this. You keep this to yourself and never come back." She says. I nod. I wouldn't tell a soul, even if my life depended on it.

She lets me go through before following, having the gates shut and lock behind us.

We head down stairs and through hallways until we meet with some strange cloaked figures that kinda reminded me of the Volituri. But unlike the Volituri this guy-if you even call him that-has his mouth knit together and his eyes are like soulless, black pits. Talk about creepy and weird.

He leads us to a room filled with other like him and other weird creatures. Huh, guess their is others like us. The room is very open and wide for us all to fit in here.

"This is one of the vampires we were talking about." Xena says.

It's silence and Iain looks hesitantly at his sister. Ok what the heck? I shift and look around uncomfortable.

Xena glances over at Bella helplessly. She steps in.

"He is not that much different from the ones we kill," She starts and I flinch. "but he does not drink human blood, hence the yellow eyes meaning he drinks animal blood. But where our vampires burn in the sun and hate light his kind sparkle in the sun." She says.

After a minute of silence Bella shrugs.

"I'm not sure why this has not been brought to your attention, for I have met many like him before, most of them with red eyes meaning they drink human blood. And no he does not. And yes of course." She says. Ok, what the hell already? I'm so confused it ain't even funny.

She pulls out some rock and taps it. It glows brightly and she gives me an apologetic smile as she shines it against my skin. I look at the rock in curiosity. Everyone looks at my sparkling skin in wonder and I to start to get very uncomfortable with the stares. She taps the witch light a few times before it turns off and sticks it back in her jacket.

Another minute of silence.

"He is no more harm to us than the regular vampires. Probably less. And yes you are correct. Is there something we can do about that?" She asks.

It's quiet for awhile while the people-or whatever you want to call-speak silently to each other.

It's real quiet and I'm not sure what to do. Bella looks like she's off in another world at them moment and the other two, well I don't exactly know them. I just don't want to break the silence but suddenly asking questions and I don't think I'll be able to communicate with the soulless looking eyed guys because I did hear a think when Bella was supposedly 'speaking' to her.

Bella sigh in relief along with Xena and Iain doing the same after another moment of silence when the people turn back to them.

They turn and Bella pulls me with them. We go through the tunnels and up the stairs before appearing back in the grave yard.

She creates a portal and Xena and Iain go first once again. I step up but pause and look over at Bella.

"What was that all about? I never heard them speak once." I say. She smirks.

"That was all about friendship, my friend. The City Of Bones." She says before once again pushing me through the portal. I hear her laughing as she flips through and lands gracefully on her feet. We all glare at her from our positions on the ground.

"Years of practice my friends." She says laughing. We grumble and stand. We were back in the Cullen's front lawn.

"Home?" She asks Xena and Iain.

They nod and She once again creates another portal thing. They wave and nod at Bella as the portal closes behind them as they enter. I glance's over at me.

Without a word we head back up to the house and enter without her knocking this time.

Everyone looks up as we enter, relief on their faces.

"See, what'd I say? If I wanted to kill y'all I would have done it years ago." She says. They look at her.

"Years ago?" Carlisle asks.

She smirks and leans against the end of the couch, pulling out some weird looking marker kind thing with a glowing end on it when she touches it and start flipping it through her fingers.

"Hell ya. Remember 2019?" She says.

Oh, I hated that year. Probably one of the worst years of my existence. The year we had to move, and we had to leave Bella behind.

We all nod.

"First of all we're Shadowhunters." She starts.

Wait, what?
