Bella POV

I was torn between staying with Carlisle and going back to my beloved Volturi. The room that Carlisle brought us to was exquisite. There was a glass chandelier hanging from the room, with a mystic purple stone inside of the center piece. Ruth was pulling her clothing out of her suitcase and placing it into the cherry wood dresser. I sat on my bed, watching her.

"Ruth, you would like to stay?" I asked her, keeping my voice to a low octave. She turned and looked at me. Her golden eyes filled with joy at the thought. She smiled.

"Yes, mother. I would love to get to know Carlisle better. I would also like to discover more information about his loving family." Ruth's vocabulary surpassed the one of a normal 12 year old teenager, even back in the 1900's, her vocabulary would have been more than proficient.

Carlisle rapped lightly on the door before coming inside. "I was just thinking that maybe you'd consider living here, Bella. Please, would you? Ruth could go to the school that the others go to. Please consider it for me, would you Bella?" Carlisle begged, before turning and going back downstairs. He knew better than to give me a chance right then to respond. I growled lightly in the back of my throat. I could hear his light chuckle flow up the stairs. Ruth jumped onto my bed next to me.

"I'd love to stay! Please?" Ruth begged, using her big golden orbs to sneak some added persuasion in. I sighed, shrugging. I knew I could never win the battle.

"I don't see the harm." Besides the fact that Edward and I will be at each others necks, I bitterly thought to myself. Ruth squealed, hugging me. She ran down the stairs to find Carlisle. I groaned, leaning back onto my bed. This might be harder than killing the most trained vampire in all of the history of the world.

Izzy looks to similar to me not to be related. I need to learn more about her. She was walking past my room from the bathroom.

"Izzy, please, come here." I beckoned her to me, using compulsion slightly. She sat on Ruth's bed, across from me. "What was your great great grandmother's name?" I asked her.

"Felicia Annabelle Swan. My great grandmother's name was Annabella Marie Swan. My grandmother's name was Isabella Marie Swan. My mother's name is Renee Marie Swan." It all clicked inside of my head. Felicia is my great grandmother's daughter. So, Izzy is my niece. So, I am Felicia's cousin, or something like that. So I'm Izzy's great great aunt.

I thanked her, and raced to find Carlisle. I ran into him and Edward in the middle of another argument.

"What do you want?" Edward sneered. I glared at him, but ignored him.

"Izzy is my niece, to the great power of some number." I told Carlisle. Carlisle looked euphoric that I could put the puzzle pieces together like this.

"So wait a minute, I'm dating my niece-in-law?" Edward asked, confused. I nodded. He made a face of slight disgust. He glared at me.

"This has been interesting." Carlisle smiled gingerly. Edward snorted.

"Yeah." He sneered. "Real interesting." I gave him a glare.

"You own hatred will only hurt yourself, never any others." He gave me an eye roll before leaving to find Izzy. I hissed, sending my dirtiest glare off towards the direction he went. Carlisle placed a hand on my shoulder, for comfort I suppose.

"Just give him some time." Carlisle murmured before disappearing off into the darkness of his office. I wandered off into my room, sitting on the bed. I let out a heartfelt sigh. Tears of cold blue rain would be streaming down my face right now if I had the ability. I know I deserve to be treated badly by Edward, but I never thought it would be this horrible. The pain I caused him would never be justified. The memory was suddenly coming back to me all over again.

Bella POV 1917 December

The cold, crisp, air hit my pale skin in Chicago, Illinois. Edward Masen was staring at me from his second floor bedroom window. Carlisle held my arm as we skidded out onto the ice. "That boy must be amazed by your beauty." Carlisle laughed, twirling me around the ice. I gave him an annoyed look.

"It is beginning to bother me." I told him as we both smoothly skated on the ice. I heard the door of his mansion open and he stumbled out onto the ice, smiling at me. If only the boy knew. He skated over to Carlisle and I.

"Hello again Miss. Swan." He smiled that gorgeous crooked smirk. There was no denying that the boy was good looking, but he is a human. "Would you like to skate with me?" He asked curtly, offering his hand. Carlisle let go of my elbow and pushed me lightly towards him. I hissed back at Carlisle, taking Edward's soft, fragile hand in my dangerous one.

We skated together across the ice, talking and learning about each other. He was a very sweet boy and I was very intrigued. He kissed my cheek before he disappeared into his home. My thirst was unbearable by that point. His blood was the sweetest I had ever smelt before. The touch of his warm skin on mine would have made my dead heart go into a frenzy.

1918, May 11th, Edward and Bella are on their honeymoon. Bella POV

I still cannot fathom how I am married to a human. This is so wrong, but I honestly would not like to be right. Edward kissed my neck softly, laying on top of me on the bed. The closer we had gotten, the easier my thirst had become, but there was always that chance that I could lose control. I didn't want to make any mistakes, but I was about to make a huge one right now. He was nervous as was I. He was about to penetrate and my thirst level was driving high, as was my lust. As soon as he slipped inside me, I freaked out. Springing upward, and sunk my teeth into his neck. My air left me in a scream as I realized what I did. I spit the blood out of my mouth as Edward twitched and struggled on the bed. I took him into my arms and ran out of the house towards Carlisle's apartment. I crashed through a window, dry sobbing. Carlisle jumped to his feet, scared. I laid Edward on his couch and I crashed to the floor. Edward had already began to scream, the fire from the venom spreading throughout his body.

"How could I…?" I sobbed dryly, holding my naked body in a ball on Carlisle's carpet. Carlisle gave me a blanket as he bit into Edward's ankle's, wrist's, and the other side of his neck.

"It is alright Bella. We all make mis-…" I stopped him by getting to my feet. I kissed him on the cheek, going and getting clothes on. I gave Edward one last look before disappearing out the window, not looking back.

(PRESENT)

My air left me again. That memory has haunted me day and night for over a hundred years. My plan was to stay with him throughout the rest of his human life, but I made the irrational decision which cost him the most precious thing; his life. I had killed before, but none had hurt like the pain of taking my love's life right from under him. I realized I was shaking on the bed. A sudden movement of bronze hair and pale skin entered the room. His hair was disheveled even more and his eyes frantic.

"I was just trapped in your memory." He murmured, collapsing to his knees.
