A/N: Guys I'm so sorry I have not updated in a while. I've been working on this one short story to help me get into a Arts Academy. I've been busy with Christmas coming up and all too! But I promise once brake starts (tomorrow) I'll start updating sooner in both this fanfic. And Be My Pale Angel.
Enough excuses! I hope you like this chapter. It's basically explaining Bella's some of Bella's past, her power, and secret.
Oh! Just so you know because some of you have asked me, Bella and Edward have nevr met before and yes Bella is a vampire! (Duh!)
Truth
Bella did not know why she felt she could trust the complete strangers. Perhaps their eating happens or how much they all seemed to care about each or maybe it was just easier to talk to people you don't know. Whatever the reason, Bella found herself wanting to spill the true to these people. It would take a huge weight off of her and Julie's shoulders.
"A secret within a secret as Julie calls it." Bella began the long story of her life, plopping down in an love seat next to Julie. "I was changed by Victoria accidentally 32 years ago, when I was 17. I was at the park for my morning walk, there I (literally) stumbled into her. Julie pulled her off of me, I found out later. I was not at all upset with what Victoria had done to me but she vanished before my transformation was even over." Bella sighed putting her head in her hands. She hated taking about herself.
Julie got the picture, hugging her friend, she continued for her. "I took Bella under my wing after that. We traveled the world, Bella knowing she could never see her family again, but we kept tabs on them. Her parents died 20 years ago leaving Bella's sister and brother all that was left of her family. Not but a few months ago we met Jane."
A low growl tore through the room, they apparently knew who Jane was.
Carlisle nodded knowingly. "You met the Volturri"
"Yes, we stayed in Italy with them but not for long. We didn't like their eating habits, having humans being hustled in like cattle and-"
Bella thought she should explain this part. "I found out something shouldn't have though, and I'm positive they still don't know I know."
Everyone was looking at them with curiosity. "We left in a hurry once I found out! We didn't know what to do! What could we do?"
Edward glazed at Bella intently "What did you find out?"
Bella couldn't must Edward's eyes. She was ashamed of herself.
"What!" He suddenly roared "That's disgusting!"
Bella forget that she was not completely shielding Julie's mind now that Julie was no longer hugging her.
"What is it?" Carlisle asked.
Bella managed to choke out "The Volturri have a fondness for children"
"Carlisle" Edward finished for her "They're kidnapping and feeding off of kids! Innocent children of all ages! Even new born babies!"
The room was in a disgusted uproar after that, until surprisingly Julie shouted for everyone to be quite. "We should of told someone but who? We knew no other vampires. What would we do, walk up to the FBI and tell that vampires were kidnapping hundreds of little kids? They'd send us to a loon house."
"Been there done that." Alice muttered.
Bella still sat staring at the floor. "Then we got side tracked" She whispered, hardly audible "I got a phone call. My siblings, Troy and Karly were dead. Apparently the death notice said they died of an unknown virus, that caused the blood to dry up in their bodies. Sure they were twins but they were both healthy for 35. And dying at the same time? I headed for home and immediately found it was Victoria, her scent was all over. and have been tracking her ever since."
"What does the Volturri's secret have to do with yours?" Asked a blonde guy sitting with his arm around Alice.
"The Volturri don't know my power. If they did they would be tracking me down this very instant. I'm the one person that can keep everyone else from finding out their secret. Even some vampires that don't have the same view of prey as so would find it uncivilized and low to drink from children." Bella paused for a second thinking. "I think that even some of the Volturri guard don't even know yet."
"How would your power keep others from finding out something?" The blonde guy asked again.
Bella started to get where Julie when she always asked peoples names before speaking with them It was weird answering personal questions from a guy she didn't know. "No vampire power works on me and any person I touch, but that's only part of it. I was being completely serious when I said that I was the perfect secret keeper. Once you tell me something, I keep anyone from finding out. They can torture you and whoever else you might have told your secret to, or use any power they can think of on you and they won't find out if I don't want them to."
Carlisle added it up quickly "So if the Volturri found out our power they would hunt you down and use you keep there little kidnapping scram a secret"
"But you would have to want to keep it a secret. wouldn't you? I what else could they do to you? Threaten to hit you with a stick?" Alice asked
"There powers don't work against me" Bella snapped "That doesn't mean I'm incapable of feeling pain! They could try to kill the ones I love or something! The Volturri will find a way." The ones I love. Bella didn't have many love ones left now that Karly and Troy were gone. Then it suddenly hit her. "This is not why I'm here! I need to find Victoria!"
