"Hi, Dane, hi Sarai," Charlie and Renee both replied. Bella smiled at us tentatively, but she looked a little worried that Carlisle had taken Edward away. Edward couldn't know why we were really here because I had a natural mind block- no one could read it- and I had put a mind block on Dane a long time ago. Only I can read his mind, and he can read mine…but no one else's. It's complicated but useful. Bella's mind has a natural mind block as well, but I can read hers.
"Bella, you have grown up to be a stunning and beautiful woman," I said softly. "It has been far too long."
"Thank you," she replied, blushing, "but I'm sorry, I don't remember you."
"That's quite all right, child, we don't expect you to," Dane said.
"Dane, Sarai, are you sure this is the right time to do this?" Renee asked softly. I knew she was nervous, but it was time Bella knew the truth.
"Do what?" Bella asked.
"Tell you about us. I am Saraiya Bloodraven, Queen of the Vampires, and this is my husband, Dane Wolfe, Alpha of the Werewolves." She looked shocked.
"Oh," was all she said.
"Bells, we know this is a shock to you, to find out that vampires and werewolves exist, but Dane and Sarai are good people," Charlie said.
"Charlie, I think somehow she already knows about both of our kinds," I said to him with a small smile.
"How would she know?" he inquired, not putting two and two together.
"The Cullens are a family of vampires, and a group of boys in La Push are werewolves," I replied.
"Who?" Charlie whispered. "Why didn't I know about this?"
"They're very good at hiding it. Sam Uley is the Alpha, then there are Jacob Black, Embry Call, Quil Ateara, and several others," Dane said.
"The Cullens are vampires?" Renee broke in.
"Yes, all of them are."
"Bella, why didn't you tell us you were dating a vampire?" Charlie demanded.
"It's not exactly something you tell your parents," Bella snapped back. She was getting defensive. "Besides, it's not like Jake would be better for me than Edward."
"Okay, calm down, everyone. Charlie, Bella couldn't tell you because she swore to the Cullens that she would never tell a human about them. Our anonymity is our best defense. Now, Bella I would like to tell you our history."
She nodded and turned her full attention to me.
"I don't remember how I was born. I suppose the Gods made me or I had a defective gene of some sort. My first memories are as a vampire. I killed people to slake my thirst, but I found that this only brought the pain of loneliness. I chose my prey more carefully after that, taking only the dregs of society- the ones no body would ever miss. Still, there was the continuously growing need for a companion, someone to take away the darkness. I wasn't sure how to go about finding one…I had no instructor. I was the only vampire in the world. I traveled for almost two thousand years, looking for someone else like me, but never finding anyone. Finally I could no longer stand the thought of taking blood from humans so I hid myself away in the most remote part of the world…the world was sparsely populated then, and starved myself. The thirst overcame me when I happened upon a herd of buffalo, and I drank three of them before I was sated again. I developed this way of life for a couple hundred years. At about two thousand, I came upon several men that I got to know quite well…they eased the loneliness for awhile. They always wanted more than I was ready to give them…I had no desire for a lover. They grew older and I grew fonder of them. I did not want them to die as so many mortals had before them. So I bit them. I don't know how I knew that this would work, but it did and thus came forth the Volturi- Aro, Marcus, and Caius. We established a home in Volterra, Italy. More vampires started popping up and grew steadily over the next thousand years. Werewolves had existed for longer than vampires and when vampires started drinking the blood of humans, it got their attention, and fights were breaking out. Dane and his pack met with me and the Volturi to arrange a treaty between our peoples. The treaty talks lasted a year and at the end of that year, Dane and I mated to seal this treaty. Gradually we fell in love and I left Volterra to travel with him on the North American continent, leaving the Volturi to run the day to day stuff. They have grown rather arrogant in the past two thousand years, so I have to keep tabs on them and knock them down a peg or two once in awhile. They are useful, so I keep them around. I'm thinking I don't really like that pet Aro has…Jane, I believe her name is. But anyway, we met Charlie and Renee about twenty years ago, and we became friends with them and corresponded regularly from then up until now," I said.
"Wow," she said softly. "You guys have a long history. But why don't I ever remember Dad or Mom mentioning you?"
"Because we asked them not to," Dane said. "Bella, we have to tell you something, and you may not like it, but it's time you learned the truth."
"What?" she asked, starting to look a little worried.
"We're your biological parents," I told her.
A/N: I should be updating sooner than I did this time. I'm sorry to all of you who were looking forward to this chapter and had to wait so long. Please review, because I won't post another chapter until I get at least five, preferably ten!
