Chapter Twenty-Three
Act One: The Arrival
Chapter Twenty-Three- Isabella Ruins Dinner at the Cullen Home.
***
So it had been a week since Isabella found out about the Cullens and that she and Edward had gone public with their relationship.
Isabella had been walking around all smug, making Lena roll her eyes every time she saw that look on the brunette's face, she wasn't that special and the only reason Edward wanted to be around her was the way her blood called to him, but of course, Isabella didn't know that and Edward was delusional enough to think that it was because she was his mate.
Alice glided up to Lena in the hallway Friday afternoon a bright smile on her face, "Hey Lena."
The blonde witch smiled at her, "Hey Ali, what's up." It had been a couple of months since Lena and Isabella moved to Forks and it still baffled Lena's friends that she managed to befriend almost all of the Cullen kids.
"So, my family is getting together tomorrow, Edward is bringing Bella to meet Emse and Carlisle, and Rose and I want you to come if you don't have plans already."
Lena smiled at the pixie-like vampire, "I'd love to come, Alice, even if I have to deal with Isabella."
"Awesome Esme is cooking and making Italian."
Lena grinned at that, "Oh nice, I love Italian, it ranks right behind Greek as my favorite type of food."
Alice laughed, "Okay, I'll let Emse know that you'll be there. See you tomorrow!" then she skipped off.
Lena and her friends made their way to their classes, Lena was looking forward to the next day, even if she had to deal with Edward and Isabella.

The next day Lena got up and showered and then made her way back to her room to try and pick something to wear to the Cullen's place.
She stood in front of her closet for a good ten minutes before she phone rang and she laughed seeing Alice was the one that was calling."
"What did you see Ali?"
The dark-haired vampire smiled and proceeded to tell the blonde which outfit she saw her wearing when she came to their house later.
"Thanks, Ali."
"You're Welcome Lena!" then they hung up and Lena got to work finding the outfit which consisted of high-waisted white jeans with rips in the knees, a purple off-the-shoulder long-sleeved crop top with a cream color cardigan, and her normal white sneakers.
She got dressed and then did her hair putting on all her jewelry items and doing a simple minimal make-up look. She fluffed her hair up and smiled happy with the way she looked. The blonde witch grabbed her bag and keys and walked down the stairs and headed out the door, and headed to the Cullen house.
Alice had asked her to come earlier than Isabella and Edward. So that's what she was doing.
About 10 minutes later Lena parked in front of the Cullen home and she got out of the car and headed toward the door about to knock when the door opened and Alice stood on the other side with a grin.
"Yay you wore the outfit."
"Of course I did ALi, you're sense of style is impeccable, so if you see me wearing an outfit then I will for sure wear it when you tell me about it." The Pixie-like vampire clapped and hugged the blonde witch before they walked into the house.
Rosalie smiled at the other blonde, "I see Alice's vision picked your outfit."
Lena laughed, "Yeah I was standing in front of the closet trying to decide what to wear when Ali called and told me what she saw me wearing and here we are."
"It's usually better to listen to Alice when she tells you what outfit to wear because those visions are rarely wrong."
They were in the kitchen helping Esme set things up for dinner...when all of a sudden Alice froze her eyes glazing over and they all knew that she was having a vision. And Lena being a telepath decided to look into Alice's head to see what the vision was.
Vision:
Lena stood glaring at Isabella, with a scoff, "Oh honey like that was ever going to work..."
"But you're human too... you know, so why do you get to live for knowing but I'm 'on trial' for the same reason?"
Lena laughed, "Oh honey, my mother and my grandfather would raze this place to the ground if anyone here put their hand on me, and, Aro, Marcus, and Caius are all aware of that teeny tiny little fact... my grandfather Silas is a very close friend and Ally to the three kings, so you trying to throw me under the bus to save your own ass was never going to work."
End of Vision.
Lena laughed coming out of the vision with Alice, "damn I don't know when that's happening but I am now looking forward to it... the look on her face oh my lord, that's going to be great."
Rosalie looked at the two. "What was the vision?"
Alice looked at her, "I saw Lena and Isabella in the throne room in Volterra, Isabella was on trial for knowing and was trying to throw Lena under the bus for knowing as well but it backfired on her when Lena informed her that her mother and grandfather would raze the castle to the ground if they hurt her and how Silas was a trusted friend and ally to the kings."
Rosalie smirked, "damn I really hope that I'm there to witness that." after that, they go back to helping Esme get things ready for Isabella to arrive, Alice walked out to find Jasper leaving Lena to hang with Rosalie and Emmett, helping Esme.
A little while later Rosalie scoffed as she heard the two walking up toward the kitchen, "Here comes the human." Lena patted her shoulder sympathetically making Emmett laugh.
Isabella furrowed her brows wondering what the male vampire was laughing at because nobody had said anything funny, but she was about to find out, Edward was talking telling her things about the house and stuff but she wasn't really listening all that much. Her face dropped into a scowl when they walked into the kitchen and she saw Lena standing on the other side if Rosalie.
Esme smiled at the brunette wanting to give her a chance, "Bella. We're making Italiano for you."
The brunette flashed her a smile, thinking that the woman already liked her better than Lena that made the blonde witch roll her eyes hearing that thought, as Edward looked from Esme to Isabella, "This is Esme, my mother for all intents and purposes."
"Bon giorno?"
Esme smiled brightly at the brunette, "Molto bene!"
The blonde doctor smiled, also wanting to give the brunette a chance, "You've given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time."
Esme looked back at her, "I hope you're hungry."
"Oh absolutely." was the answer that Isabella gave only for Edward to interrupt.
"She already ate." Isabella shoots him a look, but something shatters.
Rosalie has thrown down a bowl and now strides out with a glare on her face, "Perfect." Isabella walks out of the room behind Rosalie.
The brunette is trying to explain as the others followed behind them and Lena rolled her eyes, at how she was showing her 'perfect shy girl.' act, "I- I just assumed because you don't eat, you know..." 'why is she making such a big deal out of this?'
The thought made Lena roll her eyes again because the plain brunette didn't get how dangerous it was for them, with her knowing about them. Lena was an expectation, with her being a part of the Supernatural world already but Isabella was just plain human Isabella, so there was a difference there.
Esme smiled at her again, "Of course. That was very considerate of you."
Edward glared at Rosalie before speaking to Isabella, "Ignore her, I do."
The blonde vampire glared at Edward at that and snapped, "Yes, let's keep pretending this isn't dangerous for all of us."
Isabella gave her a wide-eyed look, " I would never, ever tell anyone." Lena wanted to scoff because she knew that the brunette would if she was desperate enough.
Edwards' eyes snapped to the blonde witch and he glared at her, 'That's right Edweirdo she would in a heartbeat if she thought it would get her what she wanted.' Lena was just smirking at him not even bothered by the glare that he was leveling at her.
Emmett looked between Isabella and Edward. "The problem is you two have gone public now, so..." he trialed off getting cut off by Esme.
"Emmett."
Rosalie shook her head, "No, she should know." even if the blonde didn't like the brunette she should know what she was getting herself into. "The entire family will be implicated if this ends badly."
Isabella gave a questioning look, "Badly?" This hangs in the air, uncomfortably. Edward can't look at her. Making Lena scoff all of this for a fucking blood singer, not even a mate. That made Edward glare at the blonde witch again as Isabella realizes, "Oh. Badly. Like, where I become the meal."
Emmett chokes back laughter. Edward grins. Wraps his arm around Bella. Even Esme has to chuckle. Rosalie, exasperated, heads back into the kitchen. Emmett shrugs and goes after her. And Lena goes as well she wanted some of the food that Esme had cooked.
The others minus Edward and Isabella walk back into the kitchen to find Lena with a plate of food sitting on a stool at the kitchen Island, "Well Esme you still have me to cook for, I won't ever turn down food."
The vampire laughed at that, "thank you, Lena."
"No problem Emse, this is really good." Lena finished her food and Esme made sure to pack so up for her to take home because no one there could eat it. Lena was grateful for that, she would have to share some of the food with Charlie knowing that he also liked Italian food.
