155Hello. That is all.
Alec's POV
We had finally made it to where we were always supposed to be, yet everything was off. The connection that I once felt seemed so far away. The love and protection that once dwelled in my heart, is still there but skewered. Jane felt the change too; the look of disappointment was evident on her face.
We found out after only a few minutes of being here, that Jasper was happily mated and married. Isabella wasn't, but she was in love with someone else. You could ask and she would deny, but the truth was branded into her eyes.
I guess the good thing is that we can't feel hurt break. Once your intended mate finds a new mate the connection you felt snaps.
"How long has this been going on? When did you remember us?" She asked.
"Not to long ago, Jane was the first to start to remember. She saw a blonde boy and called him Jay. I asked her why and she just told me that it felt right." I said.
"And then he said that, that couldn't be true because Bella wasn't with him." Jane said.
"Routinely Aro looks to see who is still loyal to him, after he touched our hands he saw what we had said. At that time it wasn't anything bad, so he just let it go." I said.
"But it was nothing more than a few days later that Jane had started crying. No one, but Alec, had ever seen Jane cry. After a few minutes, Alec started crying as well. We didn't know what to do so we just left them alone." Demetri said.
"What was the asked y'all crying?" Bella asked.
"The pain of feeling a mate being ripped away from us. We couldn't stop it from hurting." Jane said rubbing her chest.
"Days later Aro locked us in the dungeon and told everyone that we were sent on an important mission." I said.
"I thought you couldn't feel the pain of losing a mate to someone else?" Bella asked.
"You can't but I felt you die.I was still connected to you and you died. It hurt so much. We think when you died a big part of Jasper died as well." Jane said.
"It could have something to do with the spell. I mean you and Jasper came from one spell. The fact that you two split might have triggered a violent reaction." Peter said.
"But I died a long time ago, why would they have just now felt it?" She asked.
"Maybe because the connection was being blocked. They would have felt it sooner or later. In this case it was later." Demetri said.
We were quiet for a while. I didn't know what to say now. We had showed here unannounced and now we were going to be living here. What else were we going to do? We couldn't go back to Aro. Are we just going to just mooch off of them for the rest of our lives. It sounded appealing but at the same time I didn't want to do that.
"You all should go pick some rooms. I have a few extra rooms I think. Then we can work on getting you some new clothes, probably some IDs, I might even enroll you in high school." Bella said.
"I think they deserve a break." A vampire said on side Bella.
"I might make you back to school too Little Red." Bella said.
"No, they should just think I'm dead, I could just live here for the rest of my life." She said.
"Or Alistair can take you when he leaves." Peter mumbled.
"Who say's I'm leaving? I might like it here. Find a comfy cave and just watch everyone." He said.
"Of all places to live in, you pick a cave?" Bella asked.
"Rocks and marble fit together perfectly." He said patting his arm empathizing his marble rough skin.
I walked upstairs, to find a room to stay in. The ones that had no one living in them had brand new sheets still in the packaging on top of the beds. I guess this was a lot easier than I thought.
"Hey Alec, can we share a room?" Jane asked as she walked in.
"Sure, its not like we sleep anyway." I said.
"Is everything going to be alright now?" She asked.
"Of course it is, Bella and Jasper will take care of us." I said.
"How long do you think they will let us stay?" She asked.
"As long as you want to be here." Bella said from the doorway, "Here's some clothes, these should fit fine, Alice said you could keep these and I stole these from my Uncle Kol. He shouldn't mind, he doesn't really care about them I doubt he knows they're missing, or will ever know." She handed us at least three set of outfits along with sleep attire.
"Why?" I asked.
"Cause, you're a part of my family now, rather you like it or not. If you want me, I'll be in the living room after I give the others some clothes. Felix better be like we have Emmett or else he'll be wearing the same clothing." She said before walking out the room.
"Do you believe that e will be fine now?" I asked.
"Yeah, I believe." She said smiling.
At least now, we shall be able to relax. We didn't have to run, we have something now. We each have someone.
Third Person POV
"Maybe, I should tell someone about you, maybe Elijah." A young woman said as she sat alone in her room.
-Why would you do that? It's not like he can do anything about me.- A voice answered back in her head.
"He could compel me to not be able to hear you." She said.
-Sorry honey it doesn't work like that.-
"Please, just get out of my head. How did you even get in there?"
-Do you really want to know the answer to that question?- He taunted.
"Yes, why else would I ask?" She rolled her eyes.
-Careful now, remember, the less you know the better.-
"Just tell me already."
-Fine, do you remember when you and Isabella went to retrieve Matt's soul to bring him to life?-
"Yes, I remember thinking that it was so much easier than what it should have been."
-That's right and it was. The reason you needed blood to complete the circle was, because the person who gives their blood is also giving away something for another. In that case…-
"Isabella was giving up something to save Matt's soul." She said.
-That's right, and if I were to leave her fully now, she wouldn't be able to function normally.- He said sadly.
"What do you mean? Without you, she wouldn't be alive and moving around? Does she still have her heartbeat."
-Yes, she has a heartbeat, but that doesn't replace anything. Her heart has been empty ever since she died. Her soul was tarnished when she was young. The fact that she doesn't really feel heartbroken over Damon is because of me.-
"How is she alive then? Wait…if she was the one that exchanged something, why are you in my head, shouldn't you be in hers?" She asked
-I am in her head already. Currently I'm just pushed to the back where she can't hear me talking to you.-
"But why are you here?" Bonnie stiffened.
-Because for a split second the blood circle split and I was able to enter your mind and one other.
"Where did you come from?" She questioned.
-I came from Isabella's heart and mind. I initially resided there. I have been for years now, ever since she was a small child.-
"Why? Why her?" I asked.
-All will be explained in due time.- It said as he faded away.
….
Unspoken by anyone, the very same voice reappeared into someone else's mind.

Matt's POV
Something really didn't feel right. It was like floating around in space with nothing to do but think. Who would be so cruel as to do a thing like that? What the hell was he even thinking about? Why was he speaking in third person? Why am I speaking in third person. I sat up from my spot on the bed. My head was pounding with a headache. I didn't even know that vampires could get headaches. I wish it would just fucking stop. I wonder if I have a power to make it stop. I wonder if Bella's mad I took her powers. I bet she will be angry when I tell her, she isn't getting them back either. These things are cool. I could freeze things!
I shook my head. Okay, now that I think about it maybe I was fucking crazy to freeze Elena to death, or drown her, whichever one killed her. I mean I felt better after she was dead. Ha-ha. Something is wrong with me. I guess Bella was right about me being able to fit in with the family. But, I also heard that Elena was alive. I didn't get to see her yet, something about teaching her things now that she was a hybrid. I swear being a supernatural is spreading like a wild fire. I mean first it was a few people. now we have our own civilization.
Argh, my headache just hit even worse. What the hell was going on?
-Matthew!-
"Huh?" I asked as I looked around the room but saw no one.
-You can't see me idiot.-
"Why not?" I asked.
-Because I currently I have no physical body. Trust me, I hate it too.-
"Okay person, why are you in my head?"
-It's the only way for me to communicate at this point-
"How are you in my head then?"
-I accidentally got sent here while we were trying to bring you back to life.-
"Okay...are you going to be leaving any time soon?"
-Maybe...hopefully. It stinks in here.-
"Funny." I said.
-So are you having fun with those powers-
"How'd you know about my powers?" I asked confused.
-I know a lot of things. Like I know I gave Isabella those powers.-
"Are you going to take them away?" I asked.
-No, you can have them now. She doesn't need them. She is a strong girl.-
"And what I'm not?"
-No, you too are a strong girl-
"Hardy harr."
-You walked into that one and you know it-
"Why are you in my head, and how can I get you to leave?"
-Well isn't that the million dollar question.-
"Can you just tell me please."
-Why can't I stay?-
"I don't like that I have a voice in my head, it makes me feel crazy."
-You're a vampire, does it really matter?-
"To me yes. And where did you come from?"
-Slight side effect from saving your soul.-
"So save your soul and get a free voice."
-I'm not exactly free. I come at a price.-
"And who was the one that paid that price?"
-You new daughter.-
I shivered at that. I'm a father. How the hell do I go from a regular teenage boy, to a mated vampire with twins. Actually it doesn't sound as bad as I thought. I could be a better father than mine was to my kids. My kids are older than me though.
"What did she give?"
-She gave me her help. She is going to help me become more than a voice in the minds of people. She will reshape me and I will become human, or a vampire. I don't know which one I will be.-
"You are taking just her help?" I asked.
-As of right now yes, don't worry, she knows everything.-
"So how are you going to leave my head?"
-Go to Bonnie's she knows what to do.-
"I take it you are in her head too huh?" I asked.
-Good, you really might be smarter than I first thought.-
"Asshole." I said as I got up.
I could just run there, it isn't that far from here on foot. Man, I wish I was on the football team again. I could totally smoke those losers. Well I could still go to school. This will be my last year, in High school. I might as well make the most of it. Everything seemed to be going good now. I mean I have a girl, a beautiful girl. A family that won't just abandon me. I mean these people may be crazy, but at the end of the day, they will still protect each other. Not many people can say that. No that many people are lucky to have this. Soon enough after all these stupid wars are over, I will have this, forever. With nothing in my way. My shoes smashed into the gravel on the ground, I just have to fight my way to forever though. Just for a while.
