At some point, I will be rewriting this story, cause I feel there may be a few gramatic errors, plus I have a POV idea.
~Willow's POV~
Waking up, I felt so numb. If it wasn't for Carlisle's hands I thought I would be dead or something.
"Morning, my love. How'd you sleep?" Carlisle whispered seductively in my ear.
"Mm, really good. Like this." I answered, cuddling next to him.
"Oh, as much as I love holding you-" Carlisle says.
"I know, I know. I have school." I replied, sighing.
"Don't worry, the kids are going to sneak you out for lunch and meet me in the forest." Carlisle said, kissing me on my neck.
Smiling, I quickly pulled my mate into a passionate kiss. His hands went to my waist as he hovers above me. I felt his hand slip down to my ass, when he gently caressed my ass I gasped. With that gasp, Carlisle's tongue entered my mouth. Moaning, things started to get very heated.

Knock
"Sorry to interrupt, but breakfast is ready." Rosalie said from behind the door.
"Coming." I panted, Carlisle got up, letting me up.
After getting dressed, I was treated to a wonderful strawberry smoothie and funnel cake breakfast.
My tummy never had such wonderful food! Helping Jasper with the dishes, I quickly kiss Carlisle before he headed to work. Regretfully, I let Emmett help me into the Jeep. I knew I was going to hate today. You want to know why? Cause Bella might know that vampires exist.
"Willow, your heart is racing." Jasper says, knocking me out of my thoughts. "Are you alright?"
"Any chance we can skip today?" I ask out of nowhere.
"Wow and I thought moms were supposed to be responsible rule followers — OW!" Emmett says then shouts because Jasper smacked his head.
"I believe what Emmett meant to say was, what's wrong?" Jasper says which made me laugh.
"I don't want to be there if she is. I can just tell she wants to ruin what happiness I have. I mean why else has she tried to break into my room, steal my car and find out about Carlisle?" I reply, listing off the things that have occurred.
"I know you're scared, mom. But you don't have to worry. You will always have us. And we will always choose you. No matter what." Jasper says.
"Yeah, and the others agree." Emmett replied.
"And Edward?" I ask.
"And Edward. He says even though he has feelings for Bella, he won't let that stop him from choosing you for anything and everything." Emmett answers.
I smile as we pulled into the parking lot. School didn't go by too fast, not fast enough really. But when we were walking back to our cars, I felt someone watching me. It was Bella. Moving towards Jasper, Edward saw her too.
"Edward!" Rosalie said.
"What?" Edward retorted, confused.
"I know I can't stop you, but I don't want to continue arguing with you. But know, if that blood whore hurts Mom, I'm coming for you. Got it?!" Rosalie warned.
"I know." Edward replied. Looking at me, I could see the sadness in his eyes. The look longing for someone to fill the void in his heart. I gave him a nod.
Watching as he followed Bella into the forest. Sighing, as I knew that something bad was going to happen.
~Time skip~
Called it. Something bad did happen. Isabella is on her way to the Cullen house. She thinks that I will be there, but Edward lied, thankfully, saying that I wasn't. I had Dad lie to her saying that I was surveying colleges. I heard she got so angry for no reason.
"Love, are you alright?" Carlisle asks, putting down his knife and wraps his arms around me from behind.
"Fine." I lied.
"You know I can tell when you're lying, love. What's wrong?" Carlisle asks.
"I just.. I don't want anything to happen to us." I said, while trying not to cry.
"Come with me." Carlisle says.
"Where?" I ask.
"My office. I want to show you something." Carlisle answered.
Putting the food aside, Carlisle lead me out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his office. Closing the door behind us, he pulled me to sit on his lap while handing me a file.
"What's this?" I ask.
"Open it." Carlisle answers with a smile.
Skeptically, I opened the file to see pictures of an island. And a document stating the confirmation that the island was bought.
"Okay. So you bought an island. I don't get it." I said, which only made him chuckle.
"Read the bottom." Carlisle says.
Rolling my eyes, I reread the bottom.
Island location: outskirts of Rio
Name: Isle Willow
"Holy Shit!" I mentally exclaimed. "Did you name an island after me?!" I ask, shocked.
"Yes." Carlisle replied.
"Why? I don't understand." I said.
"For when we are ready for something more intimate. Or when I want to be alone with you, I'll take you there. It's a place, just for us." Carlisle explains, pulling me to lay my head in the crook if his neck.
"I can't believe you did this for me. I can't wait to see it." I replied smiling.
"I'm glad you like it." Carlisle said, placing a kiss on my head.
"So, what do you mean by, intimate?" I ask, teasing.
"Oh, I think you know." Carlisle answers, smirking before rubbing his hands from my back, to my ass.
Moving, I straddle his waist, surprising him as I cup his neck and pull him into a kiss. Moaning, his hands felt like feathers against my clothed skin. And when he reached my butt, I gasped. But when I did, Carlisle moved his tongue into my mouth. I was in heaven. Pulling away for air, I felt his lips move to my neck.
Knock
Knock
Startled, I nearly fell from Carlisle's lap, Carlisle chuckled before lifting me up and placing me on his desk. Walking over to the door, he opened it to reveal Jasper.
"Sorry to interrupt, but Edward is about to pull up." Jasper said before leaving.
"That's a little embarrassing." I whispered.
"Not if you don't think about it." Carlisle replied, flashing over to me then held my hips as I sat on his desk. "I know that Edward won't keep her here long. But I hate that you have to hide."
"I hate it too. I've never felt more at home here. But we can't let Bella see me. We don't know what she'll do. She'll probably ask questions that I can't and don't really want to answer. We'll get through this." I said before pulling him into a kiss.
Not wanting to waste time, Carlisle kisses back quickly before flashing us back to the kitchen. Going back to cooking, Emmett finishes with the salad.
"Is she even Italian?" Rosalie asks annoyed.
"Does it matter? I mean her name is Bella." Emmett answers also annoyed. They hated that I had to hide too.
"I'm sure she'll love it. Besides, the faster this ends the quicker that Willow doesn't have to hide. Remember, careful what you say when she is here." Carlisle states.
"Got it." They replied.
"Where are Alice and Jasper?" I ask.
"Alice didn't want Jasper to smell her blood, so she took him to their cabin up in Canada. They'll be back when she leaves." Rosalie answered.
"Willow, she's in the house." Emmett said, causing me to duck for cover.
Sitting behind the island bar, Carlisle stood next to me, covering me. Hearing footsteps, I smelt a nasty ass perfume. I was thankful she hadn't stolen mine. The night after the family revealed my new room, I had packed most of my stuff mostly my expensive stuff and brought it over so I didn't have to be annoyed that Bella stole it claiming she borrowed it or something.
"Bella, this is my family." Edward says.
"I hope you like Italian." Carlisle replied.
"Uh, s-sure." Bella stuttered.
"She already ate." Edward retorted.
Before I knew it, I hear the sound of glass breaking. It had to be Rosalie.
"Perfect." Rosalie snipped. I waved at Emmett, he went over and wrapped his arm around her.
"It's just — I k-know you guys don't eat — so." Bella stuttered like an idiot.
"It's alright. It was kind of you. Please forgive Rosalie. This is new for all of us." Carlisle says, leaning against the counter.
"Oh, yeah. Let's just pretend this isn't dangerous for all of us." Rosalie replied.
"I would never tell anyone. Not even Willow." Bella said.
"Rosalie knows that. And keeping secrets from family can be very hard." Carlisle replied.
"Willow's not my family and it doesn't matter. I don't have to tell her anything. I mean, it's not like she belongs here with you guys anyway." Bella said, her voice full of annoyance.
"Why — Why would she say that?" I thought, feeling myself tear up.
"Bella, Willow is our friend. Whether you like it or not. And while you are here, you will not talk that way about her in front of us." Edward said, shutting her up.
"Is Jasper and Alice okay?" Edward asks.
"Yeah. They'll be back tonight." Carlisle answers.
"Where'd they go? I thought you wanted me to meet your whole family." Bella asks.
"They needed some time alone, and this was the only free time they had." Edward lies, which made me smile even with tears in my eyes.
"Why don't I show you around." Edward said, leaving no room to protest as he left.
"Why that little—" Rosalie started.
"Rosalie, it's okay." Emmett cuts her off.
"Okay? Okay! That little blood whore thinks she has a place here and Mom doesn't. She's lucky I didn't pin her against the wall and smack her!" Rosalie stated, but not loud enough for Bella to hear.
"Where is Mom?" Emmett asks.
Carlisle crouched down and pulled me into his arms.
"Why? Why does she hate me?" I ask, sobbing. I let it all out.
"It doesn't matter. It's her loss for being a bitch. Besides, you have us." Emmett says.
Before I knew it, I was enveloped in a hug by three people that love me.
It felt like hours later, but finally Bella was taken home. I want to be happy for Edward, I really do. I just hope he knew what he was doing. Changing into sleepwear, I crawled into bed and snuggled with Carlisle.
"I'm sorry you had a long day." Carlisle says.
"Not your fault." I reply laying my head on his chest.
"I wish you didn't have to hear that. You shouldn't have to hear that." Carlisle says.
"What's done is done. I have my family." I reply before feeling tired.
"Yes, yes you have my love." Was all I heard before I let sleep consume me.
~one week later~
I was beyond excited! Carlisle has told me that the family baseball game was happening today. Not only do I love baseball, but this time I get to be in the presence of the whole family. This is exactly what I needed. For the past week, Bella has stolen my number from Dad and been blowing up my phone trying to find out why the Cullen's like me so much. Rosalie almost blew up at her at school telling her that it wasn't any of her business, but I had Emmett get her up to their room to calm each other down. Thanks to dad making up a lie, she thinks I'm in Seattle.
"Are you ready, love?" Carlisle asks, startling me from my thoughts.
"Yes. I think so." I answer, grabbing my jacket.
"Rosalie had this made. She was really excited to have you become a part of the family." Carlisle says as he places a cap on my head with a big C on it and holds a baseball jersey across my front.
"What? Are you serious?" I ask, feeling the jersey.
"You are a part of this family, Willow. Never doubt that." Carlisle answers, hugging me from behind making me look into a mirror.
Rushing downstairs, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper all greeted me with a wonderful waffle breakfast and a strawberry smoothie. Once I was done, Rosalie and Alice packed some strawberries in tub ware for me.
"Where's Edward? I ask, swallowing.
"He left early to check the perimeter of the field. We didn't want any unwanted guests watching us or seeing you." Emmett answers carrying a foldable chair outside.
"And what are you doing?" I ask.
"Since we all didn't want you to get hurt trying to play, we didn't want you to stand uncomfortably for hours, so we are packing you some essentials." Alice answers. "Is that okay?"
"Of course. You just want to make sure I'm comfortable. And I appreciate that." I say bringing her into a hug.
"We have to go now if we're going to beat traffic." Jasper states.
"Okay then, let's get going." Carlisle replied, sweeping me up off my feet and carried me out the door.
Holding on for dear life, Carlisle flashed us to the field. Once we were there, he sets me down and helps me refocus. Edward waved as Alice and Jasper appeared and started to prep the diamond. Not waiting that long, Emmett and Rosalie appear. They set up a chair and an umbrella for me in case it rains. I giggle as Emmett started to check the equipment.
"Okay, we are ready." Alice says, handing me the tub ware and Rosalie grabs a bat.
"Oh crap." Jasper says.
"What?" I ask.
"What's she doing here?" Emmett asks.
Turning my head, I silently gasp when I saw Bella's truck pulling up towards Emmett's Jeep.
"Bella, what are you doing here?" Edward asks.
"I'm here for the game." Bella answers, with a 'duh' tone.
"I told you it was a family game." Edward stated.
"Well, I thought since we were mates, I am a part of the family." Bella retorted, before she saw me. "WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?!" I had to cover my ears from her screaming.
"She is here to enjoy the game with us. Because unlike you, she is wanted here." Rosalie hissed, seeing me in pain.
"Dad told me you were in Seattle. So, you lied to him. Some perfect daughter you are." Bella chuckled.
"I never said I was. Who said that? You are just letting jealousy cloud your mind. I never did anything to you!" I exclaimed, only to be calmed by Jasper.
"How about we get started? Willow, you'll be the empire." Alice says, mediating.
"You think we cheat." Emmett laughed.
"Oh, I know you cheat." I retorted, playfully as I gripped my jersey tighter due to the cold. I was almost jealous of Carlisle.
"Call em as you see em, Willow." Rosalie says, side hugging me.
Bella tried to move closer to us as everyone took their places, but before Rosalie left me she growls at Bella making her jump in fright and get away from me. I rubbed her shoulder, calming her down. Starting the game, Alice threw the ball. Rosalie hit it and started to run.
"That's gotta be a home-run, right?" Bella spoke.
"Rosalie's fast, but Edward's faster." I stated, missing the glare I was sent.
Edward threw the ball back, Rosalie slid to the home base. Carlisle caught the ball but with the speed thing, I saw that Rosalie was safe. But just before I could say it, I was interrupted.
"You're out." Bella rudely said.
Rosalie glared at her while Emmett exclaimed. "Babe, come on! It's just a game."
She stood up and glared intimating at Bella, but instead of making a move, she came over to me and hugged me from behind.
"It's okay. We all know you were safe." I whisper, knowing all the vampires could hear me.
Rosalie giggled before letting go and taking Carlisle's spot on the home base. Jasper stepped up and did this cool move with the bat. I gasped, amazed. He winked at me before taking his stance. Alice threw the ball, Jasper hit it then ran off. Emmett climbed a tree, catching it then threw it back.
"My monkey man." Rosalie comments to me.
I giggled as it was Carlisle's turn. He stepped up to the plate, but then stopped.
"Hey, Willow. Wanna try?" He asks.
"Are you sure?" I ask back.
"What if she gets hurt?" Rosalie asks worried.
"WHO CARES!" Bella shouted, annoyed.
"Shut up, you bitch!" Rosalie shouted back. Bella crossed her arms.
"What do I do?" I ask Carlisle.
"Here." Carlisle says handing me the bat.
Getting behind me, he made me bend my knees and grip the bat. I wasn't even worried about Bella seeing us, I didn't care. At the moment, I only cared about him.
"When Alice throws the ball, trust your instincts. I'll be right behind you to catch the ball." Carlisle whispers, making sure Bella couldn't hear.
I nod, giving Alice the signal. She threw the ball. Using my powers, my eyes glowed red as the ball slowed down enough for me to hit it. As I let the end of the bat hit the ground, Carlisle swiftly kissed my cheek before making a run for it. I gasped at him but he just kept going.
"He is in so much trouble." I gritted my teeth playfully as Rosalie pulled me into a hug.
"Rosalie, I think Willow should go home." Isabella said.
"Why?!" Rosalie asks annoyed.
"What if she finds out about your secret?" Isabella whispers, horribly.
"Bella, you're the one that doesn't belong here. This is a family game." I said.
"Yeah, well that means you don't deserve to be here either. You're not their family, either." Isabella scoffed smug.
"She will always be family to us since-" Rosalie rants angry till she was cut off.
"Stop!" Alice shouted as we all turned to her.
"What's wrong?" I ask sensing the tention.
"They were leaving but they heard us." Alice answers, but only looked at Carlisle.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Nomads, coming our way. We don't have enough time to hide you. Keep this on and stay close to me. Okay?" Carlisle asks/answers as he took off his scarf and wraps it around my neck.
"What should I do?" I ask.
"Can you make your eyes glow red like a newborn?" He questions. "If they are red, they might mistake you for a newborn instead of a human."
I smirk as I used my magic. My eyes glowed making me look like a newborn vampire, I hope this works.
I glanced over to the other side of the field, as three figures appeared out of the woods and fog. There was a dark skinned man, with dreads. A pretty pale red head, I liked her curls. And lastly, a blonde male, his hair tied back like a hippie. He was wearing a familiar jacket.
"They killed Waylon." I mentally fumed at the thought. But I took a quick breath so I didn't expose myself. Hopefully, Scarlet will hide my heartbeat.
"I believe this belongs to you." Dreads says than casually tossed the ball but fast to the naked eye to Carlisle. He caught it like it was nothing.
"Thank you." Carlisle politely replies.
"I am Laurent. And this is Victoria and James." Laurent politely introduces.
"I'm Carlisle, and this is my family, and Bella." Carlisle replies. I held back my snicker knowing it wasn't the right time, even though I could tell she was thinking why she wasn't included. "I'm afraid your hunting activities have cause something of a mess for us."
"Our apologies. We didn't realize the territory had been claimed." Laurent says.
"Yes, well, we maintain a permanent residence nearby." Carlisle replies.
"Really?" Laurent asks surprised. "Well, we won't be a problem anymore. We were just passing through."
"The humans were tracking us, but we led them east." Victoria said, quite nicely.
"Excellent. After all, we wouldn't want the humans to discover that the supernatural lived among them. Would we?" I spoke up, causing the family to tense and the nomads to smile surprised at me.
"No, we definitely wouldn't." Victoria replies. "By the way, I like your hair."
"Thanks. I like yours as well." I said as Carlisle sneakily rubbed my back.
"So, what that being said, could you use three more players?" Laurent asks.
Carlisle was silent, and I knew why. He was worried, heck the others were too, about me getting exposed.
"Come on. Just one game." Laurent added.
"Sure. Why not?" I answered, Carlisle turned his head to me. "It's okay." I mouthed to him, he gently nodded.
"A few of us were leaving. You could take their place." Carlisle says. I glanced at Edward, he was desperate to get Bella out of here. Heck, so was I. She may hate me, but Charlie would be devastated to lose not only Waylon by Bella as well. "We'll bat first." He tossed the ball back to Laurent, but Victoria caught it, smirking.
"I'm the one with the whisked curveball." She stated.
"Oh well, I think we can handle that." Jasper replied, his accent strong.
Laurent chuckled, "We shall see." Victoria says excited a Carlisle gently pulled me aside. I wanted to apologize for stepping in his way back there, but before I could get a word out, I froze. The wind was picking up due to the storm. As I shivered, I noticed Bella's hair flowed.
"You brought a snack." James said.
Before I could comprehend everyone's actions, Rosalie and Alice were in front of Bella and I. Carlisle and the boys were covering in front of the girls, protecting us from the nomads. Growls were heard causing not only myself, but Scarlet to freak out. She wanted out, to protect me. But I wasn't going to allow Bella to see who I really am.
"The girl is with us. I think it best if you leave." Carlisle said, mediating.
The tension in the air was so strong, I could barely hold her back.
"Let me out! I need to kill them, now!"
"No! You'll expose us to everyone."
"I cannot let you die. I won't."
"We won't die. They won't let us. Just have faith."
After I said that to Scarlet, I closed my eyes and made an illusion if me behind the nomads.
"If you don't leave. You will die. And not by them, but by me." I whisper through the illusion, causing them to tense and look at me shocked when I opened my eyes to reveal them glowing strong.
"I can see the game is over. We'll go now." Laurent said.
He had to grab James and literally pull him away. Victoria shook her head, shaking the fear away before smiling, kindly, at me. I didn't show my confusion as she just flashed over to James. The three of them walk back to the space where they appeared then disappeared.
~Carlisle's POV~
Once the nomads were gone, I told Edward to get Bella out of here. Once she was out of earshot at the Jeep, I turned my focus to Willow.
"Willow. Willow." I said softly, my hands on her shoulders. She blinked before coming back from wherever she left from. "Are you okay?"
She slowly nodded her head, then I noticed her eyes. They were rolling back, I caught her just as she passed out.
"Willow?!" My kids said concerned as they rushed over.
"Can you follow them, clean up then meet up back at the house?" I ask, carefully lifting Willow up bridal style.
"Of course." Alice answers.
"Good." Was all I replied as I flashed away and hurried back to the house.
Once there, I laid Willow down on the couch, propping a pillow under her head.
"Oh, my love. What happened back there?" I whisper aloud, placing a kiss upon her forehead.
Hearing someone approach the house, I flashed to the door to see Laurent.
"Please, before you say anything, I just want to talk." He said.
"About?" I ask.
"James. I will tell you everything about him." He answers.
"Why should I believe you?" I ask.
"Let him in." I turned my torso to see Willow on the steps. "It's okay."
Leading Laurent into the living room, he sat on the couch as Willow stood a few feet in front of him. I stood off to the side, ready to protect her.
"Now, after that little show you put on back there. We can do this the easy way, or my way. Your choice." Willow spoke.
"I am sorry. I didn't think that James would — AHH!" Laurent tried to explain, but then Willow raised her hand. It glowed as he red mist seeped into his head.
I wanted to intervene, but I knew better than to get in her way of her magic. After a few more seconds of his screaming, Willow dropped her hand, Laurent dropped to his knees off the couch.
"James is a tracker. We already knew that. Victoria is his mate... and Bella is his blood singer, but not his first one anyway." Willow said.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"As sure as I am that Bella is Edward's singer, not his mate. The only reason they squared off like that, was because they want to fight over who gets to drink her." Willow answers.
"How... H-How did you do that?" Laurent spoke, a whimper was held back.
"Just like my family, I'm special. But not the way you're thinking. I am much more powerful than any Cold One. And guess what, you just pissed off not only my coven, but me. You have no idea who I really am, and that is your mistake." Willow spoke, but her voice was so dark. It sounded evil.
"Please, forgive me. I mean your family no harm." Laurent begged.
"Why is it that men always beg? It takes all the fun out of it." Willow said annoyed.
"Willow." I reply, wanting to just hold her.
"Edward and Bella are coming. Go downstairs and meet them at the door, but do not let Willow hurt Bella for hurting Charlie." Willow, I think, instructed.
Hating to leave, I flashed downstairs to see Edward and Bella just pulling in.
As I was about to open the door, Edward and Bella, and Laurent all walk in the same room. Edward growled, but Willow called him off.
"He came to warn us. About James." She said. Her voice, back to its sweet and loving tone.
"I've grown tired of his games. But he's got unparalleled senses. Absolutely lethal. I've never seen anything like him in my 300 years. And his mate, Victoria. Don't underestimate her." Laurent replies. "I am truly sorry, for what's happened. I didn't know what would be unleashed here." He then walked out the door.
His last words, his voice sounded like he was repeating something. Or like he didn't want to say it. I turned to Willow and saw her looking at me, I could tell she was afraid. Afraid of James. But...what happened back in the living room?
~Willow's POV~
When I passed out from the illusion, I woke up back in the living room. Turns out Scarlet paid a visit. She had used our powers on Laurent to make sure we got the truth. She cares about the family just as much as me. We are one, after all.
When Edward and Bella arrived, I couldn't help but feel she did something. She wasn't as scared as she was earlier. She seemed, smug.
Carlisle led me to the garage as I saw the boys moving like they were on a mission.
"I've had to fight our kind before. We're hard to kill." Jasper says.
"But not impossible. We'll rip him apart and burn the pieces." Emmett replies.
"As much as I relish the thought of killing another creature. I will make James pay for threatening my family." Carlisle said, causing all fo us to look at him surprised.
I hugged him, then let him continue to pack his bag.
"What if he gets one of us first?" Rosalie asks.
"I won't let him." I whisper. She hugged me.
"This is insane. You can't put yourselves in danger for me." Bella said.
"Too late." Rosalie growled at her. She stepped back, scared like a child.
I brought Rosalie back into my arms and rubbed her back.
"I'll run Bella south, that will give you guys the chance to take James down." Edward said.
"I don't think that will work. He'll know you won't leave Bella." Carlisle replies.
"What if someone drives Bella south, that way Edward can track James and help take him down?" I suggest.
"Like that will work." Bella scoffs.
"Actually, it might." Alice replies. "Jasper and I will drive her south."
Stepping back behind one of the cars, I took a breath before putting my thumb flat on my watches surface. It scanned before vibrating softly. 'SOS sent'
Carlisle and Rosalie pulled me aside, away from the others.
"Even with your powers, we won't ask you to fight. What we really want to do, is ask...what do you want to do?" Carlisle says, calming.
"I — I don't know. It's been a while since I've been in a fight, but I have been keeping up in my training." I reply, feeling a lot of pressure in the air.
"Just breathe, mom. You don't have to do anything." Rosalie says.
"What I want to do is protect my family... but.. I can't leave Charlie here alone. What if James finds his scent from Bella?" I ask.
They both looked at one another, their looks were suspicious.
"What?" I ask.
"Please don't be angry." Rosalie says.
"I won't unless you keeping hiding whatever you're hiding from me." I reply, serious.
"The only reason Bella could leave Charlie due to James... was to tell him off saying she wanted to leave Forks. And I quote, 'if I don't get out now, I'll be stuck here like mom'." Rosalie says, making me freeze.
I could feel more than just my own anger, I felt Scarlet's. My breathing sped up, as I tried to rein her in.
"She. Said. WHAT!" I seethed, emphasizing each word but shouted the last one.
I stormed over through the garage, ignoring everyone trying to stop me. As fast as I could get my anger out, I smacked Bella so hard across her face she was knocked off her ass.
"OW! What the hell, Willow?!" She whined like a child.
"You told Charlie, Renee's exact words. The same damn words that hurt him many years ago?" I exclaimed. "How could you, of all people, say that to him?! You have no idea what hell Renee put him through when she ran away like a little girl."
"Excuse me? Don't talk about my mom like that." Bella replies.
"Oh, forgive me for standing up for the man that raised me, the man that I brought out of his depression due to your bitch of a mom. If I hadn't come into Charlie's life, he would have spiraled. You may not care about him like your precious mom, but I do. You don't deserve an amazing father like Charlie. I feel ashamed that you are related to him, he doesn't deserve a worthless bitch of a daughter like you!" I shouted.
She tried to smack me, but I grabbed her wrist, causing her to wince and freeze. She tried to fight me, but Scarlet was lending me her strength. Gripping her wrist tighter, I saw her eyes widen as I nearly broke it.
"Willow." Edward says. "Please, stop."
"What if I don't want to? Why should I?" I asked him, giving him a look. He knows how I feel about her, yet he asks me to stop.
He lowered his head, causing me to frown. I wanted him to experience the same love and happiness that the rest of us share, but not if everyone we love gets hurt.
"You and me, outside, now." I said, twisting Bella's wrist, causing her to spin off her feet then land on her butt.
Walking outside, I made sure Bella was out of ear shot.
"You know more than anyone, that I want you to be happy." I said.
"Mm-hmm." Edward murmured.
"But, if your 'soulmate' is willingly putting your family in danger. Please tell me you don't want this?" I said, pleading.
"Of course not. In fact... I don't want Isabella anymore." Edward replies.
"Wait what?" I said, shocked.
"She doesn't care about me the way I care about her, and I don't need my gift to see that. All she wants is for me to get in bed with her. I am so tired of her pushing to be near me. I am so tired, Willow." Edward replies, tearing up. "Please, help me save my family."
Pulling him into a hug, I could see he was finally coming to the truth. I was so proud of him. But I was even more proud that he admitted it.
"I know, and I will. We are family, Edward. Nothing will stop any of us from protecting one another. That is what family does. Have each others back." I whisper to him as he dry sobbed in my arms.
Once Edward was calmed down, he went back inside the garage playing the act of a loving boyfriend. If Scarlet or Trinity had their way, we'd just hand Bella over to James. Sneakily pulling out my phone, I saw a text from an old friend.
I'm coming! - T
