"Can I see Bree alone?" I questioned.
"Bella," Edward whimpered. I cringed. I couldn't hurt him. Then again, I won't get hurt, I know that.
Jane seemed to calculate Edward's pain and Bree's survival. "You can see her alone if we kill you after."
Edward flinched and then turned livid.
"Never mind then," I said pleasantly, knowing I was going to win this. Edward relaxed tremendously, he looked like he was slouching, compared to before.
Jane shot daggers at me. "Whatever pathetic human; you are nothing but food. Now, you guys finish." Edward got all tense again. His glares were more killing than ever. Even Jane flinched slightly. I got to admit, this was fun; having a secret.
"Esme," Edward started curtly, trying to keep his voice at a talking level. He seemed to be trying too hard; I had the urge to say, 'don't hurt yourself.' "Bring Bella back to the house." My eyes widened.
"What?! But…no!" I screeched, slashing in Esme and Edward's arms, not even bothering to keep my strength in control, until I realized Aro would try to get me.
"They can't kill Bree!" I screamed. I barely noticed her face for a while. She seemed confused and grateful; well, who wouldn't when they realized someone was trying to keep them alive.
"Why not?" Demetri shot back, taking a step forward.
"Her dad will kill you!" I yelled back. Esme stopped pulling so I stopped struggling.
"What can her dad do?" Felix sneered, flexing his muscles.
"He can kill you and make the afterlife more miserable than losing your mate," I shot back.
"Who's her dad?" Jane challenged.
"Zeus, Greek god of the sky," I screamed, exasperated.
They all looked at me like I was crazy and then started laughing. Bree, though, seemed to remember something and Edward made an almost inaudible gasp. No one heard but me though.
"Funny, but Greek myths aren't true," Demetri finally got a hold of himself.
"Neither are vampires," I spat out. They all stopped.
"Bella?" Edward turned me around gently. "How would you know? How can you prove it?" Prove it. Great, I was standing in a middle of a forest. I could've just rallied the nymphs to kill them. I could already see Aunt Athena's eyes gazing at me, disappointed.
"My mom, Renee, is Hebe, the goddess of youth. Charlie doesn't know though," I whispered.
"Dalia, Avalene, Aladia, Diahna," I called a little louder. They were the nymphs that I had quickly become friends with. They emerged from their tree and the Cullens and Volturi's mouth dropped.
"Yes, Bella? Who's the one who killed Daisy?" Dalia placed her tiny hands on her tiny hips, looking closely at everyone.
"The Cullens but they were protecting me and…Bree," I gestured to her and the nymphs gasped.
"Bree Samuels? Gods' favorite?" they all stared, wide-eyed. Dalia finally unfroze. "Cullens, you are free from killing our sister, but if it happens again, I swear…" I cut her off. "I'm sure she's happy where she is." Dalia pouted. Everyone knew Daisy wasn't exactly the all time favorite but they still had to act…
"Ooh, you're in trouble," Avalene sang when she realized what was going on. She was facing the Volturi. Being the youngest in the forest, she didn't exactly understand 'serious' as well as others.
"Do you believe me now? Will you let Bree go?" I turned to the Volturi. Their heads just went down when streaks came from the sky. I noticed them as the gods and goddesses.
"Bella!"
"Isabella!"
"Swane!" Ah, the soothing voice of Dionysus.
They all rushed to hug me and Bree, not really noticing or caring that the Volturi were inching away and the Cullens were slightly pushed to the side. Well, they probably did care; it wasn't like them to let these kind of things go unpunished.
I couldn't really understand everything. All the gods were congratulating me, greeting Bree and meeting the Cullens. After they all praised me, I left the circle, breathing. Suddenly, I felt Edward's arm wind through my waist.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, leaning my head against his chest.
He seemed to understand what. "Oh, Bella, I don't mind. I talked to some of them like Aphrodite. They explained everything. It was never your fault," He replied back, almost a reflex.
"Did Aphrodite tell you about Jacob?" I asked, leaning my cheek against his probably designer shirt.
Edward nodded and I could see an amused expression on his face. I rolled my eyes.
"Aww!" Aphrodite smiled, with her hand over her heart as she came over. Alice skipped behind her. They were probably talking designer. I could see Esme talking to Demeter and Hestia. Emmett and Jasper was talking to Ares. Hermes was probably talking to Rose about cars. Carlisle was chatting with my mom. Zeus had his arm around Bree, who was human now. The rest of the gods just strolled around, talking to each other, groups or just glancing around.
I grinned at Aphrodite. "Hey!"
"You guys are cuter than Romeo and Juliet," Aphrodite gushed as she snapped her fingers for a chair.
I blushed and Edward chuckled. Aphrodite sighed in content. I suddenly saw my mom running this way.
"Oh Bella! I'm so proud of you!" Hebe hugged me; right after Edward removed his arms, realizing what was happening.
"Thanks, mom," I laughed.
"Isabella Marie Swan!" Zeus's voice bellowed through the forest. Mom quickly let me go and I walked professionally to the Big Three, who were in their regular order with thrones, not as big as the one on Olympus. I knelt down but I could see Zeus shake his head so I stood up.
"Does everyone think Isabella is worthy of a gift?" he asked solemnly. Everyone mumbled yes.
"Very well. Isabella Swan, you may have any gift you want that is reasonable and within our power."
"I have a few," I stated.
The brothers glanced at each other, and then looked at Bree who pleaded with her very talented eyes.
"As you wish, but please state them first," Zeus finally gave in.
"I would like Charlie to be able to cook and get paid more. I would like Carlisle to be able to stay in touch with Apollo, Esme to be able to get anything she needs for designing, pronto, Alice to stay in touch with Aphrodite, Jasper to be able to hate human blood, Edward to be able to block thoughts if he has to, but if something important is thought, he will hear it, Emmett to have a wrestling room that won't break, the whole family be protected and Rose to be able to have a baby…" I heard Rose gasp and start dry-sobbing with happiness, her head burrowed in Emmett's shoulder. "That is, of course, if they want."
Zeus raised an eyebrow. "What about you?"
I grinned slyly. "Oh, I'll be fine." He rolled his eyes but turned to the Cullens. "Do you not want anything?" They all shook their heads.
"Apollo? Aphrodite? Everyone?" Zeus turned to his family. They all nodded in agreement.
"Very well." Zeus pointed at Esme, Jasper, Edward and Rose who all jumped slightly. "Wish granted. Isabella, you are now ranked with Bree. I will see you soon." He vanished and the others followed.
Rose ran to me and embraced me, murmuring thank yous until she was peeled off and Alice flung herself at me. Except for Carlisle, who seemed to know what I wanted and Edward, everyone crowded around me until I said, "enough." They all pulled away, looking sheepishly and apologetic.
"It was nothing, really," I tried to protest.
Edward rolled his eyes and stared at me with frustration and love in his eyes. I tilted my head in confusion. Edward chuckled gently and pulled me into perfect, creamy white arms.
"Why didn't you wish for anything for yourself?" he murmured as he kissed my hair.
"Because, you know what I want," I whispered, expecting him to freeze up like always.
Edward spun me around gently so I could see his face. For the first time, it didn't look hard or strained when I brought this up. "Whatever you want, love." I could only hope he said that, not because he thought he would get struck by lightning, but because he really wanted it.
I finally understood Aphrodite's full attempt of me leaving Jacob a few years later, when Jacob finally saw Samantha from school and imprinted on her. She and I both got the full picture. I learned that Aphrodite didn't want me to become hurt, which was nice of her. Of course, I did save Bree.
The gods and goddesses kept their promises and so did Edward. He and I both forgot about our deals before. Jacob and the pack didn't mind, but then again, the gods can do wonders to someone's brain. Rose had 3 kids before we knew it. Some gods visited often; everything was,well, perfect.
