A/N: Okay this is a more serious version of Insanity… the parts of the story that should be in there but I failed to input. I will be starting just after Raja left the Cullen manor to pick up her children at the airport, continuing the conversation between Esme and Regina.

Chapter One

The Similarities Between

Esme, Bella and Alice

Esme POV

"And as for Alexandria and Reia are muses, only Reia is more advanced at it… she is able to put the words into someone's mouth and seriously make a masterpiece. She is very talented and she is very intelligent. But enough about them, tell me about you and your lovely family." Regina finished.

"Oh, you really don't want to…"

"No really, I do!"

"Well, I was born on a farm outside of Columbus, Ohio, in 1895. I was sixteen when I first met Carlisle. I had broken my leg and the local doctor was not in so my parents took me the hospital, and my attending physician was Dr. Cullen. I never quite got over him. I was forced to marry by age twenty-two to a horrible man. I was twenty six when I gave birth to my son, whom died a couple of days later and after that I was not quite the same. I attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff… I survived and was changed by Carlisle who was working in the morgue that fateful night. Well, you can see what happened… we fell in love.

"I took to being Edwards "mother" right away, and then as the others came into the family, I took them in as my children. And the moment I heard that my Edward had found someone to call his own, I was overjoyed. When I met Bella, I knew in my heart that they would end up being together forever… even if it was a bit rocky. The funny thing is how she and I relate… and how she relates to Alice.

"Alice was in an asylum before she was changed. One of the workers at the asylum was infatuated with her. The moment she was in danger by a vampire known as James, he took her out of there and changed her.

"Now, Bella also ran across James… unfortunately he picked the wrong human girl to kill. Edward was instantly enraged when he read his thoughts. The poor girl was rushed out of Forks by Alice and Jasper and down to Phoenix, Arizona. James found her, convinced her to come meet him by herself, and then he attacked her. The moment he bit her… Edward attacked him. Jasper and Emmett took care of him.

"Now earlier this year, as you may remember, Edward went to the Volturi, and begged them to destroy him. He thought she was dead… Alice had a vision of Bella killing herself. She thought she had died. Now, she didn't anything to any of us, except for Rosalie. Rosalie told Edward and then the repercussions followed.

"Bella had jumped off a cliff into rushing water. Now according to what I over heard, she did it just to hear Edwards voice… which is a story in its self… and she knew that if she was successful, she would be able to end it all and no one would have deal with her anymore. Her father wouldn't want to send her to her mothers in Florida, she wouldn't be a burden on Jacob and his pack. And Edward would finally be able to come back to Forks. Stupid reasons really. She was just running from herself. Which is exactly what I did. I ran away from my problems and had no intention of ever going back. We were lucky that she survived, for if she hadn't, Edward wouldn't be here. And neither would you guys. It's always nice to have company… even if it does mean a little bit of insanity."

A/N: I promise a longer chapter next time! R&R!
