Sight Unseen 47

“Bella are you sure you don’t want anything to eat or drink?”Irina asked the human from the front seat of Tanya’s car. Tanya was driving and Rosalie and Victoria were sitting on either side of Bella in the backseat. The group was on their way to Alaska after having loaded all of Bella’s stuff into the truck. Irina was happy that she didn’t have to deal with the others loading their stuff. Tanya hadn’t come back to Bella’s until early morning after sorting everything out. Carlisle fought the three joining the Denali on taking a lot of things with them and Tanya had gotten to the point of just giving Carlisle money to shut him up. Irina was not pleased by that but understood why her mate did it. Irina was surprised that Rosalie decided not to take any of her cars. She would have thought the young vampire would be more attached to them. Not only was Irina happy to not have to deal with the headache she got to spend a lot time with Bella learning more about her daughter’s life. Irina even got to hold Bella while she slept because Victoria was guarding the house. The experience of holding Bella like that was better than Irina imagined it would be and she couldn’t wait for another chance to do it.

“I’m fine thank you.”Bella told her.

“What exactly are you doing?”Victoria didn’t quite understand what Bella was doing on her computer that was sitting on her lap.

“I’m erasing the trail I left for Carlisle to find when I took his money. The next time a hacker tries to see where it went there will be no trace of a transfer ever happening nor will there be any proof of the money taken ever being in Carlisle’s account to begin with. Basically whoever looks into this will think Carlisle is crazy.”Bella explained.

“Why didn’t you do that to begin with?”Rosalie thought it would have been easier to do that than to leave a fake trail.

“Carlisle’s father told me to fuck with him and what better way to fuck with a homophobe than to make him believe someone from a lesbian resort stole billions of dollars from him. It did piss him off from what Irina and Tanya said.”Bella was pleased with the results.

“He was beyond pissed.”Tanya had never seen the man so angry.

“He questioned me about my ties to a lesbian resort when I got home yesterday. It was really funny having him yelling at me but then he would whisper the word lesbian every so often.”Rosalie felt Bella did a good job of messing with Carlisle.

“I still don’t understand how with his beliefs that Carlisle favored Edward over everyone. Including his own mate.”Victoria didn’t get why Carlisle wasn’t more cold towards Edward.

“Do you think Carlisle is really bisexual and because he is so repressed he never got a chance to act on it so he lives vicariously through Edward to experience a gay relationship?”Bella smiled when Rosalie and Tanya laughed.

“I could see it.”Irina thought it was entirely possible.

“He is known for his soft-spoken kind nature. Something we all know is fake so it’s easy to believe that he is a closet homosexual. Hiding his sexuality is probably very easy for him.”Tanya thought the theory had merit.

“Maybe I’ll have a ghost investigate this later.”Bella said.

“Don’t do it now. They may not leave if you call one.”Victoria didn’t want Bella’s attention occupied the entire trip.

“I’m going to ask the next one that shows up because there is no way I’m calling one and risking them bothering me for days on end.”Bella wasn’t going to chance it.

“I agree. You should wait.”Rosalie thought the same thing as Victoria. She didn’t want to lose Bella’s attention.

“So what happened at the Cullens that got you called away mom?”Bella asked.

Tanya smiled brightly hearing Bella calling her mom. The vampire doubted she would ever not smile hearing that in the future it brought her that much joy and happiness.”Carlisle, Edward and Esme were physically stopping Alice, Emmet and Rosalie from loading their belongings in the truck. Edward going so far as taking things out of it. I was called to get the idiots to leave the three alone so they could officially move out.”

“Esme went as far as to unpack sealed boxes and put things back to where they were before in my room. Carlisle was trying to keep Alice from leaving her room while yelling all kinds of demands and trying to say he forbid us from doing things. I finally had enough and contacted Tanya to get the idiots to leave us alone.”Rosalie wished she had done it when they got the truck. They wasted over three hours dealing with the trio before Tanya showed up.

“Based on the fact that Martha showed up I take it they didn’t give in right away.”Bella knew the ghost wouldn’t have been that angry with Edward if things weren’t already chaotic.

“I asked what was going on and Carlisle replied saying that I was stealing his coven members and that he was going to report me to the kings. I think he thought that would scare me but thanks to Anne we all know that he is afraid of Aro finding out about Edward’s crimes. I told him that I would be happy to contact the kings and said that I was sure Aro would love to hear about Esme trying to steal you from us, Edward’s crimes and that he was trying to prevent three of his coven members from leaving. Carlisle panicked of course and more words were exchanged until Edward tried to claim he committed no crimes and that you didn’t talk to his mother it was actually a demon.”Tanya explained.

“Now I know why Martha was so pissed.”Bella said.

“Edward denying that set in motion us having more than enough evidence for Edward to be convicted and leverage over Carlisle. I used that leverage to get Carlisle and the other two to back off. It likely will have to be used in the future to keep them in line.”Tanya predicted she would be using the leverage many times in the near future.

“The important thing is we have it so we can use it in the future.”Irina was beyond happy they had the information.

“Edward didn’t really look that scared when you threatened him it was all Carlisle. I think that he is the one that will keep Edward in line but for how long is the question. Edward obviously no longer wants Bella in his coven so I think he will likely sabotage any moves Carlisle makes to get Bella and Victoria.”Rosalie didn’t think Edward would help Carlisle at all in his quest to get the pair for the Cullens.

“What changed his mind?”Bella asked.

“He overheard some thoughts Carlisle had about you being more valuable to the Cullens than him and Alice.”Tanya agreed with Carlisle about that. Bella brought a lot more to the table than those two.

“He’s right. Even if Edward could hear people’s thoughts he has to be physically near the person. Bella can have ghosts spy on anyone anywhere in the world at any time. Then there is the fact that she can build shields in people’s minds to block all mental gifts. As to seeing the future from what I have been told and seen personally the ghosts give Bella better information than Alice does. Plus it seems Bella is now immune to Alice’s gift so Bella can’t be compromised.”Victoria thought Bella was the most valuable person in both the Denali and the Cullens.

“I’m just glad that Alice had that vision of you and Tanya and Carlisle didn’t try to force you into his coven.”Irina had said many prayers to thank whoever was responsible for putting Bella in their lives.

“I would have never agreed. If he tried to force me I would have killed him. Then again if Gerold showed up right away I likely would have killed Carlisle no matter what. Either way I would have never agreed to join any coven Carlisle was in. Even if I didn’t kill him the ghosts would have helped me get away from him. They may be assholes but they would do anything to make sure that I stay alive so I can help them.”Bella knew they ghosts were to selfish to let her be put in a situation where she wouldn’t be able to actually help them with whatever they needed.

“When we get settled I want you to tell me all the ways Gerold told you to kill a vampire.”Rosalie bet that she would learn a lot from that conversation.

“I think I would like to be involved in that conversation as well.”Tanya wanted to know so she could make sure that Bella would be safe if she actually had to kill a vampire.

“I would as well because I am very interested in learning about different ways for a human to kill a vampire. I expect that I will hear about techniques I never heard of or would have never thought of by myself.”Victoria figured that like Rosalie she would learn a lot from the conversation.

“Luckily we don’t have to worry about Bella killing vampires while she is human.”Irina was going to be involved in the conversation because she wanted to help Bella be safe if she ever got in a situation where she needed to kill a vampire.

“I do want to start working out and getting into better shape because I know now that the ghost know I can travel easily for them they will be sending me all over the world to help them. I expect to get a lot more ghosts from different countries coming to me to have me visit places for them. I will probably have to learn a few more languages.”Bella would have to figure out what would be most important to learn next.

“I will learn the languages with you so I can talk to the native citizens of the countries we have to visit.”That and Rosalie wanted to be able to understand what Bella was saying to the ghosts.

“I think it would be wise for all of the family to start learning more languages. Especially if we are going to be traveling a lot in the future.”Tanya was going to make the entire coven to include the new members learn new languages so that they knew what was going on around them when they visited different countries.

“I’m excited to travel for pleasure and not because of James’ hunts.”Victoria hoped to visit Ireland and see what happened to the place her coven had lived. It was her plan to buy it and build a home for her, Bella and Rosalie on it. Buying it and building a home on the land being something she had wanted to do so that she could also build a memorial for her lost family.

“Traveling will have to wait until we get the remodel done and everyone is settled.”Irina was also excited to travel but wanted Bella to be completely moved in so that the human didn’t get tempted to live somewhere else while they visited other places.

“Are there limits on the remodel?”Bella asked.

“Not really. Is there something specific you want added?”Tanya would happily add whatever Bella wanted so that her daughter wouldn’t want to ever move out.

“No, I haven’t really thought about it other than how I want to set up the room you said I could have for my ghost stuff but I wanted to know so that the three of us could start working on a plan.”Bella wanted to plan it out with her mates.

“Well you have no limitations so the three of you can do what you want. That said we both ask that if you decide to spend a lot of time in your rooms that you invite us to spend time with you.”Irina may have wanted Bella to not want to move out but she didn’t want Bella to isolate herself completely.

“That won’t be a problem because I honestly don’t think I could go too long without seeing either of you without it becoming uncomfortable.”Bella figured that was part of the bond.

“It makes us uncomfortable too.”Tanya wasn’t pleased that Bella was so effected by the bond but did appreciate that the human wanted her mothers around her.

“Do you guys think my symptoms will get worse or this is all I’m going to feel of the bonds?”Bella wasn’t sure she could handle the feelings being any stronger than they already were.

“Based on what you have told us about how your feelings have developed I think you will eventually feel the bonds just like a vampire does. It will just happen over time not all at once. How quickly you will feel the full effect I’m not sure but I think you will. You not being changed for at least a couple years being the reason I think that.”Victoria figured Bella would feel the full bond within a couple months due to how much she felt after only a week of knowing Rosalie and less than a week of knowing her mothers.

“I agree. You already have stronger feelings than I thought a human could feel in regards to the bonds. If you go off of the progress you already made then it’s an almost guarantee that you will feel the bond fully and very soon.”Irina didn’t want Bella to feel the negative side effects of the bonds but she would like it if her daughter felt the familiar bond fully. That would mean that Bella would see Irina and Tanya as her mothers.

Rosalie was thinking along the same lines as Irina.”I like the idea of you being able to feel the full bond but I don’t like that you will feel the side effects from it.”

“What exactly are the side effects?”Bella wanted to know what she would be dealing with.

“Mostly the symptoms you get will be due to physical separation from your bond mates. If you are away from them too long you will get anxious, physically uncomfortable and you will worry about their safety. The longer you are bonded the easier it is to ignore those feelings but they are always in the back of your mind. Your mother and I have been mated for over a thousand years and we still get uneasy when we are apart for more than a couple hours without at least calling each other and checking in. You learn to manage it over time.”Tanya told her.

“Even though Tanya and I have experience with dealing with the bond because our bond to you is new it’s caused the intense feelings we had for each other to focus on you. That is why we have been so keen on being close to you. Especially touching you because a vampire feels the most calm when they are touching their bond mates knowing that they are close enough for you to protect them.”Irina always felt a lot better when Tanya was touching her. When she got to hold Bella while she slept she couldn’t hold back the purr of contentment that came feeling her daughter’s warm body in her arms.

“I know I sleep better when one of you is laying with me. The night I slept by myself at the Cullen’s house I didn’t have a restful sleep as I did the times I shared a bed with Rosalie and the rest of you. Well except Tanya who I haven’t slept with yet.”Bella liked when she was in bed with a vampire. It made her feel safe.

“I will luckily get my chance in the future.”Tanya was looking forward to being able to hold her child while she slept.

“It’s nice knowing that in that future I no longer have to worry about getting caught talking to ghosts and doing sketchy things that will get me sent to a mental hospital. That has been my main worry my whole life. Now that I don’t have to deal with that happening it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It was the main stress I had and now that it isn’t there I’m feeling optimistic about life.”Bella felt like a whole new person now that she didn’t have to worry about being locked up and medicated.

“I could see how that would give you a lot of stress.”Victoria could see how having that hanging over her head would stress Bella out.

“How are you feeling mentally knowing that isn’t going to happen?”Irina wanted to know how Bella was feeling.

Bella thought about her mental state. She respected Irina to much to give her a throw away answer.”I don’t exactly know how I’m feeling. I want to say I feel better but I’m still coming to terms with everything that has happened. I’m also dealing with feeling the bonds and I haven’t really had a chance to have a private moment to really sort through things. So even without the stress of being caught and put in a mental hospital I don’t really think my feelings have settled.”

“That makes sense. You really haven’t had a moment of peace since we entered your life.”Rosalie felt bad that she and the others brought so much chaos to Bella’s already chaotic life.

Bella easily picking up on what Rosalie was thinking stopped working and took Rosalie’s hand in her own.”My life has never been peaceful. Even when the ghosts only visited to talk to me it still put me in danger of being caught talking to them. Like I told you before you guys have just been annoying. I’m not upset about meeting you because I found out about the bonds and I wouldn’t change them for the world. So you coming to my life has been an overall good thing.”

“You think we are annoying?”Irina was happy that Bella didn’t regret the bonds but didn’t like being called annoying.

“We have been annoying. Initially we stalked Bella then Tanya made Bella uncomfortable by hugging her before they even introduced themselves. It was because of us Bella had to have a conversation with our dead loved ones then we forced her to take us on the trip with her. On that trip there was fighting over who got to go places and the three of us lectured Bella constantly about all the things we didn’t approve of her doing while the rest of the group cheered Bella on. We also pestered her about her past actions and Emmet and Kate asked her to teach them her skills going so far as to be really excited about the opportunity to rob a bank. Then when we get home she against her own better judgement agrees to live with us and the first night there Edward threatened to hurt her. Following that incident she deals with two horrible ghosts who for the first time since dealing with them makes her feel what they are feeling then after that she successfully frees Victoria only to not even an hour and half later have to deal with Carlisle, Esme and Edward threatening not only them physically but their bonds as well. I don’t know about you but I am personally annoyed just speaking about it.”Rosalie felt better hearing Bella say she didn’t regret the bonds. She knew Bella wouldn’t lie about something that important. It didn’t change the fact that she and her family were in fact annoying though.

Irina winced.”When you put it like that I can see why you say we are annoying.”

“I still find it hard to believe that all happened in a little over a week.”Victoria hoped that life wouldn’t always be that crazy.

“Bella what did Rosalie mean you felt the ghosts’ emotions for the first time?”Tanya agreed that hearing Rosalie list things off they did sound annoying. The fact that those were just the main things that happened and Rosalie didn’t list off the other things Tanya could easily see how Bella thought all of them even her mothers were annoying. Tanya regretted hugging Bella that first time but she couldn’t help herself after finding her bond child.

“Usually when a ghost is emotional I don’t feel those emotions. It doesn’t matter if they are happy, extremely sad or very mad. None of that has ever effected me. Even when the emotions are strong. When I talked to Edward’s mother she was pissed. For some reason I felt her anger. It has never happened before. Then when I talked to Gerold I felt everything he felt. I have never yelled at anyone in my life but I screamed at Carlisle. I also want to beat on him then kill him with my bare hands. That being something I would have tried to do if you Tanya didn’t physically stop me and put me on Irina’s lap. I have no doubt if you didn’t I would have gone after him even knowing I wouldn’t have a chance against him and I would have likely gotten hurt. It’s one of the reasons I couldn’t be around him. I didn’t trust myself not to go after him.”Bella had plans to kill him as soon as it was safe. Rosalie and Victoria both volunteered to help her do it.

“Jesus.”Irina didn’t like the fact that Bella was effected by the ghost in such a way. It could make her do very unsafe things like attack a vampire while she was human.

“And you have never even been mildly effected by a ghost’s emotions before?”Tanya like Irina didn’t want the ghost influencing Bella’s emotions causing Bella to do something dangerous.

Bella took her hand back from Rosalie and went back to work.”No but I have never been exposed to a ghost as angry as those two so that might be part of it. That or they could have been purposely making me feel their emotions.”

“Could a ghost make you feel their emotions?”Victoria didn’t like the idea of that being a possibility.

“I don’t know for sure but plan on asking the next one that shows up. I was going to ask Martha but she was to upset to do anything other than give me the information on Edward’s victims. Then again she and the others would probably just lie to me about it.”Bella wouldn’t be surprised if the ghost withheld the truth about that kind of thing.

“I hate that you can’t tell whether or not a ghost is lying to you.”Rosalie was upset Bella let go of her hand but understood she needed it to work. She was planning on taking it back once Bella was done with what she was doing.

“From what I’ve come to understand they aren’t allowed to tell me a lot of things. Like with Anne telling me stuff that led to Hank visiting sooner than he was supposed to. I asked Anne if she got in trouble and she said it was nothing I needed to worry about. That leads me to believe that she did get in trouble for telling me things. Not that each ghost knows everything. Vera had no clue I could block the sun until yesterday. So it stands to reason some of them really don’t know the answer to my questions.”Bella didn’t expect the ghost to tell her everything she wanted to know.

“I just appreciate that they know anything at all. They are a much better source than Alice about things. That and like with Anne they are willing to spy on people for you.”Tanya may not like Bella getting bothered but she did like that even though she was the ghosts had given them a lot of useful information.

“That’s true they are very useful. As a matter of fact with Bella’s gift blocking Alice’s it’s made her completely useless in the way of helping the family.”Irina wasn’t pleased that Alice’s gift didn’t work because it was an extra way to protect Bella and the rest of the family. Irina did like that the ghost made up for the loss of Alice’s gift though.

“I will admit that not having Alice’s gift makes me very nervous because I have relied on it since Alice joined the Cullens. That said it is kind of nice having privacy. Alice’s gift gave her a way to predict my every move and it was tiring not being able to do anything without someone else seeing you do it before you actually did it.”Rosalie had liked Alice’s gift but preferred having no one watching her every move. Not that Alice did it on purpose it was just irritating not having privacy.

“Alice told us she was happy with the fact Bella blocked her gift because she wouldn’t have to deal with random visions interrupting her life all the time. She said that she was looking forward to living a normal life for the first time she could remember.”Irina was happy for Alice to get a reprieve from her gift like she had always wanted.

“I think I would hate having Alice’s gift. It’s useful but not being able to control it would drive me crazy. Especially when there was something important going on and I couldn’t focus the visions to be able to tell the best outcome to the situation.”Victoria loved her own gift because it protected not only her but Bella as well.

“We know you have a gift and I was wondering if you would be willing to tell us what it is.”Tanya desperately wanted to know what Victoria’s got was for not only the benefit of the family but how it would protect Bella in the future.

“I don’t think that is a good idea while we are so out in the open.”Victoria didn’t mind telling Bella’s bond mates but didn’t want anyone else to know.

“Would you be willing to tell us when we are somewhere no one hears us?”Irina thought it was reasonable for Victoria to not want to tell them in case of being overheard. She like Tanya was desperate to know what it was for the same reasons as her mate. She wanted to know how it would benefit the family and protect Bella in the future.

“That’s fine.”Victoria told her.

“Can you at least tell us if it will protect Bella more than just telling you if people are threats?”Tanya asked.

“It will do a lot more to protect Bella than just identifying threats. Especially with the mental shield Bella gave me. The shield has made my gift even more powerful.”With the mental shield Victoria’s gift would give her the power to protect Bella from anything.

Irina sighed in relief.”Thank the goddess.”

“I hate that I don’t have a gift or any fighting skills to keep you safe.”Rosalie regretted not seeking Jasper out and having him train her like he had offered each family member. Rosalie had stupidly believed that not only did fighting make you lose your humanity faster but that the Cullens would never have to fight anyone. Those skills would have come in handy with the situations Bella was going to find herself in in the future. At least Victoria agreed to train her. The red head was the best fighter Rosalie had ever seen. Even better than Kate and Jasper.

“You are going to learn to fight though and you have the mental shield. From what I understand having that you are already in better shape than most vampires.”Bella wasn’t worried about Rosalie’s fighting skills because she knew that Rosalie was going to push herself hard in training to be a better fighter.

“That is true. Most vampires’ gifts are mental. It’s actually quite rare to have a physical one. I personally only know of three vampires that have a physical gift. Those being a Volturi royal guard member that can shield themself and someone else if she is touching them. Then there is Felix who is said to be the strongest vampire alive. He is even stronger than a newborn. Actually make that four if you count Emmett’s strength. The last one is Benjamin who controls the earth. Other than those four I don’t know any other vamper with physical gifts.”Tanya couldn’t even think of any vampires with that kind of gift that had been killed.

“The Volturi royal guard is mostly made up of vampires with mental gifts.”Irina said.

“There you go Rosalie. You are able to beat most of the royal guard as I doubt they know hand to hand combat and just rely on their gifts.”Bella figured that the royal guard didn’t bother training if they had gifts.

“You are likely right because I have never heard of someone who could block mental gifts before. If that type of vampire existed Aro would have collected them for the guard already.”Victoria had proof of that due to what happened to her own coven and Aro taking Heidi.

“Are we going to have to worry about Edward turning me in to Aro? You said that he is mad about Carlisle thinking I’m more valuable. Would he use Aro as a way to get me out of Carlisle’s reach?”Bella asked.

“I wouldn’t put it past him and was hoping that you could ask a ghost to keep an eye on him.”Irina wanted to know exactly what Edward was up to.

“When I threatened him with the evidence he didn’t seem worried. He was actually mad about Carlisle agreeing with letting everyone leave his coven without a fight. I wouldn’t put it passed him to think that Aro wouldn’t actually punish him for what he did and likely will think that he can trick Aro’s gift. I like Irina was hoping that you could have a ghost monitor his activities to see what he does.”Tanya thought Edward was still a threat to Bella and wanted to know his every move.

“He is very pissed off that he lost the support of his biggest fan. Carlisle held Edward on a pedestal and relied on his gift to make all the coven’s decisions. Carlisle always praised Edward for his gift and bragged to all of us and anyone else he came in contact with how wonderful Edward was. He constantly made comments about Edward being the most valuable member of the family because without him we wouldn’t be safe. He has been saying that to the idiot since he changed Edward. Finding out that the man who worshiped him no longer thought he was god’s gift to the world Edward isn’t going to get over it any time soon.”Rosalie had seen Edward’s anger build as the night had gone on and they finished moving all their stuff. Plus the stuff Ralph gave Bella. That being more stuff than what Rosalie was taking with her. She, Emmet and Alice decided not to worry about the things they had in storage because it wasn’t that important to them. Anything that was important they brought with them to Forks.

“I’m hoping Jasper contacts him soon and talks some sense into him.”Irina didn’t think anyone but Jasper could calm Edward down.

“I doubt Jasper will because after he received his money he promised me that he wouldn’t tell anyone but Peter and Charolette where he got it. I took that to mean he wouldn’t be around Edward any time soon.”Bella thought it was smart to bring up Jasper if she didn’t want anyone to question why she wanted him to come to Alaska with Peter and Charolette.

“Him not telling either of them about the money shows he is more loyal to you than the two men.”Tanya didn’t mind Jasper being loyal to Bella over Edward and Carlisle. It would actually be a good idea to have Jasper, Peter and Charlotte as allies. That gave Tanya a thought.”Would you object to giving Jasper, Peter and Charlotte the shields Bella?”

“As it will piss Edward and Carlisle off I have no problems giving them the shield.”Bella wouldn’t mention breaking Jasper’s mate bond of course.

“We should contact them as soon as we get to Alaska so that they are protected from Edward.”Irina also thought having the trio as allies would be a good idea.

“With the way Jasper reacted to everything I think he hasn’t been happy with Edward for a while. If not he likely would have tried to work it out not just take all his personal belongings and leave without any set date to meet up with his mate again.”Rosalie would have thought Jasper would have fought for his mate bond.

“It does seem like that doesn’t it. You all told me that Edward did this before he met Jasper. That means Edward could have changed. If it was Bella who did this I would talk to her about it. I wouldn’t be happy about what she did but I would speak to her about it and try to work out a solution. I wouldn’t just pack up and leave unless she did it while we were mated.”Victoria would fight for her mate bond.

“Every time I have interacted with Jasper he has seemed miserable. I always thought it was because of his gift but now I’m thinking his unhappiness is because of his mate bond to Edward.”Irina thought that Jasper was just overwhelmed with everyone’s emotions and that was the reason he was unhappy.

“I’ve always thought Jasper wasn’t that bad of a person. Myself, Alice and Emmet’s only complaint about him is that he always defended Edward and actually encouraged Edward to act out. Those things I blame on the mate bond. Other than that he has been a good brother and is very protective of us. When it came to the subject of approaching Bella he actually sided with me about it. He thought it was not right to try and force me to stay away from my mate. It was actually him that was the deciding vote that made it so we were able to stay. Even Esme voted against approaching Bella. It wasn’t until she realized that she would have a human to mother that she decided that Bella was welcome in the family.”Rosalie had no problem spending time with Jasper when he was away from Edward and now that it seemed Bella had a way for him to break Jasper’s bond to the mind reader Rosalie was more than happy to be allied with him.

“I would be horribly unhappy being mated to Edward. Jasper gave off the vibe that he was a good person who would never hurt someone without a valid reason for doing it. Edward however just oozed malicious intent out of his pours. The first time I saw him at school was in the hallway and the sight of him make me nauseous. I actually gaged in response to him. When his mother revealed what he did I was in no way surprised.”Bella expected Edward to have done worse.

“I forgot to talk to Eleazar about that gift.”Tanya hadn’t had the chance.

“In think it will come in really handy in the future.”Irina could think of dozens of uses for that ability.

“I actually hope that it manifest into something stronger when she is turned.”Victoria would like it if Bella had a more surefire way to tell them exactly how someone was a bad person.

“Turning is a long way in the future.”Bella wished she could change sooner but it wasn’t safe. Finishing up her work Bella sighed.”I am finally done messing with people’s bank accounts.”

“So that means you have no more projects to do for any ghosts?”Rosalie asked.

“Nope I am free and clear of any tasks for ghosts. Until another one shows up and bothers me.”Bella had never had much of a break between tasks so she expected a ghost to show up soon.

“What do you want to do now?”Victoria wished that the free time happened when she was alone with Bella but she wanted to take advantage of it while she could.

“Do you guys want to watch another lesbian movie?”Bella loved to watch movies and tv shows but didn’t usually get to watch them uninterrupted.

“I would like that.”Rosalie was all for watching a lesbian movie with Bella.

“I’m alright with that.”Victoria was more than willing to watch another lesbian movie with Bella. Victoria was also looking forward to reading more of the lesbian books that Bella downloaded after reading two already.

“What movie are you going to watch?”Irina was jealous that Rosalie and Victoria got to watch the movie with Bella and had plans to sit with Bella at some point during the drive.

“I think we will watch D.E.B.S. It’s a movie about a female spy who goes to a school for female spies that falls in love with a villain. The movie shows how they handle their relationship of one being a good guy and the other being a bad guy.”Bella thought they both would like the movie.

“That sounds interesting.”Victoria loved a good good guy bad guy love story. It was kind of like hers and Bella’s. Bella being a person who got justice for the dead while Victoria was off being a horrible person who victimized a lot of people.

“I want to watch it.”Rosalie had always found spies and that kind of thing interesting. It was kind of like what Bella did for the ghosts.

“Good then I’ll start it up. Tell me if it is to loud.”Bella queued up the movie and turned it up. She had found out that vampires had enhanced senses and had started being more aware of how much sound she produced. Bella knew the vampires appreciated it because she had caught Rosalie wincing a couple times hearing how loud she had played her computer and when they went shopping. Not that Rosalie would tell Bella that she was uncomfortable with how loud things were. That was one part of the mate bond that Bella didn’t like. It made you put your mate’s needs before your own needs. It was also why Bella had started asking more questions about vampires so she could accommodate her bond mates’ needs. That way they wouldn’t have to tell her or suffer in silence. Bella just hoped that as time went on that the bond would lesson the side effects and her bond mates would tell her when things were wrong. It would be a horrible kind of relationship if they couldn’t be honest with each other.
