This had to be the funniest thing in the world. Jacob cooking. He was trying to help with dinner, Chicken Alfrado, but failed miserably and nearly burnt the Pasta. Nicole kicked him out of the kitchen and made him talk to me.

He asked about work. I didn’t tell him about Alice, or Jasper, but after that, he remembered something.

“Leah wants to take you to a movie she was thinking it today,” he paused I already new what he was going to say, while we were running patrol. “She’ll call you.” He smiled, giving me my hope I crave.

After Nicole fixed the pasta, we ate while the game was on. Jake some how got Aly to be a Charger’s Fan. I laughed had when she thought every one with the color orange was a Charger. It was getting late and Aly was nearly sleep— she was fighting it— but that’s when I remembered Nicole wanted to talk to me.

Jacob was holding Aly and Nicole was sitting by me. She turned the TV down and looked at me.

“Bella I want to ask you something but if you don't want to talk about it then that’s ok I just want to know.” She started and looked to Jacob he nodded his head.

“Sure, what is it?” I asked timidly. Jacob adjusted himself into a more comfortable position on the couch and looked at me.

“Will you tell me about the Cullen’s?” she looked away fidgeting with the enc of her skirt.

No one ever asked me about them. Leah asked but she knew most of it from Jacob. I was pretty sure Jake told Nicole every thing I knew, I don't know why she didn’t know. Despite the dreams, I don’t usually bring up the memories. I smiled and nodded my head, “Sure I’ll tell you about them. What do you want to know?”

She smiled, “Everything I think its fascinating and amazing that you lived with them and you weren’t bothered or any thing.” Her eyes lit up as she spoke. “Well I guess the basics the name and faces.”

“I'll tell you my story, from day one.” I closed my eyes for a minute. I remembered his face and his voice. I remembered the look he gave me when we met I remember the color of his eye. I opened and spoke softly.

“I use to live phoenix, so you can imagine when I moved here I was terrified. Constant cloud cover, I cried my first couple of nights there. When I first met the Cullen’s they were all strange to me. Alice, Emmett, and Edward Cullen. Jasper and Rosalie Hale. All so beautiful from across the cafeteria. Alice was small pixy like she and short cropped black hair and a tiny body, the way she walked was as if she was on the runway so grace full she almost dance. Emmett was huge he was like a linebacker but bigger; he had two big dimples and light brown hair. Jasper was tall lengthy and muscular. He was suppose to be twins with Rosalie; they both had beautiful honey blond hair. Rosalie was striking just looking at her would knock you own self-esteem; she had a body that belong on magazine cover and a face to match. She never liked me much.” I pause to look at their faces. Jacob was emotionless I'm sure he didn’t like the was I made them sound so wonderful. I looked at Nicole she was fascinated like it was a movie. I'm sure she was picturing them in her head.

“Edward Cullen, he was different unlike any one I have ever seen. The were all supermodels in there own way, but Edward was more he was like an angel. He watched me that day not the same what Mike or Eric did not in a loathing way like Lauren but like I was hiding something from him, or he was trying to see right through me. We had biology together, it was my first day, and I could almost swear that he hated me, even Mike noticed. He had coal black eyes that day he was a nightmare. He looked at me like he wanted to kill me or I was food.” I snorted, “Little did I know huh.”

“He saved my life a few time, I guess this is what made him love me and I him. I was nearly smashed by Tyler’s Van, but some how Edward juggled me and the van and I got out of the worst car crash possible with a minor concussion. That day I also met Dr Cullen, I knew him as Carlisle. He checked me out that day. The second time Edward saved me, I was in Port Angles wandering around the Town I got lost slightly and it was just getting dark. The darker it got the more lost I became. He found me just in time before I was attacked but this group of people, well I don’t exactly remember how many.

“He took me to dinner, and that was the night I found out he was a Vampire. I don't know what was going on with me, but I told him it didn’t matter. And I wasn’t afraid. After that day, we did everything together. And I met his family and we were official.” I paused and thought of the night, he was sweet he told me about him being a telepath and how he could not hear me. “oh and Edward he was a telepath. But the thing was, he couldn’t hear my thought. So I guess he liked it. I don't know I never asked.

“He and his sister, Alice, protected me from everything they could. Alice Cullen what a charmer. She was tiny really small, I think she was 4’11 or 5’0. she was married to Jasper, I found out later, they were really nice well that part comes in later. Alice and Jasper could do things. Jasper controlled emotions. Like when you were worried or upset, he could calm you down. Alice she saw the Future but the future was always changing.” I stopped, Nicole opened her mouth then closed it then opened it then shook her head.

“Its hard to believe how much of a different life.” I know Alice saw me before she ever saw you doing this to yourself. But I have a question Bella Swan do you realize your telling you’re deepest darkest secrete a enemies Wife. Shut Up I tell myself. “Rosalie and Emmett weren’t around to much for me to know them. But Emmett he is extremely Strong, I mean even for a vampire. And he was sweet and funny too. Rosalie wasn’t much of a friend she never really helped me out any. Edward told me once that she was rapped by her Fiancé and his friend just before she was turned so she was bitter and jealous of me and my human life.” I shrugged and saw Jacob falling asleep.

I felt guilty talking about this around Jake I was glad he was going under. “Esme and Carlisle are great. Esme so sweet and compassionate . She had tried to kill herself jumping off a bridge. No one gave her a second look they thought she was dead, then Carlisle found her and changed her. She was inches from death. Vampire venom can cure so much but at a price

“Carlisle is over 300 years old he has seen so much. He made Edward for friendship Esme for love. He had been repulsed with himself being a vampire and all his dad was a Priest. He found out things about vampires no one knows. He lived in London the majority of his time and he also some what stared the Vegetarian vampires, they only drank animal blood.” I traced over the scar on my hand. I looked at Jacob completely sleep now so I started this with a whisper “I was bit by a Vampire. It burned but Edward saved me. he sucked the venom out like rattle snake poison that’s a hard day to forget. I broke my leg well the vampire I believe his name was James he bit me. in hope of changing me before Edward got here but it didn’t happen like that.”

“Do you ever think of what would have been?” she asked “If he didn’t leave I mean.”

“No I never did,” I answer quickly then thought. when Victoria and her new vampires came and attacked us. I was there thinking where was he. What is he doing now. Carlisle came in his own way, Alice also but never Edward. Charlie said Emmett even came but that is imposable. He should have been the one coming all the time. If he never left what would I have become really Bella are you asking your self these questions because your still hurt or because you still love him. I do not love him anymore. I can't am not aloud. I promised my self I will never fall in love again after Jake imprinted on Nicole. It hurt too much for the love of my life to up and leave.

“Wow Bella you were something weren’t you hanging out with vampires one day were wolfs the next. And now portraying the roll of a mother. You are wonder woman. Your more then welcome to sleep on the couch.” She placed her hand on my leg, I smiled. It didn’t last long Bella Cullen has a lot to say about my Daughter I don't know why you had her. She will leave the nest eventual then what your alone to did. You aren’t Wonder woman you’re just a Pawn in this game of chess. I am the Queen.
Now Find my King.
