Dangerous Childhood

Summary Bella meets with James and the kids show just how powerful they really are.

Disclaimer I own nothing.

Powers and Truth

Bella flopped down on her bed and sighed. She turned over and stared at the picture of her and Edward on the bedside table. She wanted to cry. Edward was HERS and he had a family with that.....that....goddamn dog!! She turned onto her bak and growled at Laurent.

"What do you want?"

"Aro wants to talk to you now."

She dragged herself off the bed and walked into the sitting room. The Volturi had bought them a house on the outskirts of Forks. It was smaller than the Cullens, but bigger than most houses in Forks, with seperate bedrooms and bathrooms for James, Victoria, Laurent and Bella. She flopped on the couch.

"What do you want Aro?"

"You went to see Edward."

It wasn't a question. Bella sighed. She was doing that a lot today.

"Yes. You said I could, so what's the problem?"

"I did not say you could confront him or his family. Now that Cullens will be protecting the dog and his children."

"Aro, you're stronger than them all. We can take them down. Don't worry."

Aro glared at the younger vampire. He turned his back to her and she left the room. Aro sighed as he heard her retreating footsteps. She would be a handful.

Esma smiled at her grandchildren. They were so handsome. Masen's skin had darkened, his eyes were a soht gold colour and his hair was jet black. Shaun had brown hair, pale skin, but Jacob's brown eyes. James was like Masen, black hair, tan skin and golden eyes. They were powerful. Now Masen was using his powers to amuse the twins. Esme sniffed the air and jumped up.

"Marco, what are you doing here?"

The vampire stared at the three infants.

"I came to see the half breeds."

She snarled.

"Don't call them that. They are my grandchildren."

The children seemed to sense their grandmother's anger and reacted in their own ways. Masen and Theo combined their powers and sent Maro flying into a tree. Marco struggled back to his feet, before Shaun hit him with a strong torrent of water, knocking him into another tree. Esme smiled at the children.

"Leave Marco. My family is coming. We'll protect these children until we die."

When the rest of the Cullens and Jacob ran into the clearing, Esme was alone with the children.

A/N The ending sucked, I know. R&R please. Next chap, Aro talks to an unsuspected partner.
