Chapter 3: Explanations.

Bella Point of View.

Damon. I don't know what happened with him then. He has never been like that before. I suppose the good thing about that was that he actually, realised that what he did was wrong and out of order.

Later that night when Stefan came home, he ignored Damon completely. I don't blame him really; after all he did try to attack his girlfriend. When Stefan walked through the door, he went straight up to his room, not even looking at Damon. Damon was upset with himself. That's a first I thought to myself. Damon also retired to his room and I went to talk to Stefan. "Stef?" I said knocking on his bedroom door.

"It's open." He replied sounding really pissed off. I walked in and saw him stood at his window, looking out, it was dark out. No lights. No cars. No nothing. I went over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"He didn't mean it Stefan…" It was hard to believe my own words at some point. I wasn't only trying to convince Stefan, but myself as well. I know he says he didn't mean to do it… but after all those families he killed tonight… did he mean to do it?

"Do you really believe that Isa?" He turned around and looked at me. He looked hurt. I can understand why. "Think about it… all of those people he killed tonight… he killed children. A 3 year old little girl. That little girl had a whole life ahead of her and our good for nothing brother killed her." When he put it that way, a thought ran through my head. He knew what he was doing. He did it on purpose.

"Do you think he did it on purpose?" I asked him, frowning. He simply nodded. After a few minutes of looking out the window again, Stefan turned to me.

"Elena was mortified…" He sighed. Who wouldn't be? If a vampire suddenly tried to attack you… I frowned.

"Was she okay? Other than being scared shitless." Even though I didn't know Elena all that well. I could tell we would get along like a house on fire.

"All I can say is that she won't be coming near Damon any time in the near future." He sighed again and then quickly changed the subject… "So how about this boyfriend of yours?" He smirked. Trust him to change the subject to that. I laughed. "Name?"

"Edward Cullen" I smiled just thinking about him. Stefan noticed the change in expression and a smile appeared on his face.

"Treating you well?" He always was protective of me, even though he is the youngest.

I nodded. "Yeah, although I doubt he will want to even look at me after this." I frowned.

"What do you mean?" Stefan asked and went to sit down on the bed. I followed him, sat down and looked at my hands. Playing with my fingers. Looking at the ring.

"I took my ring off. While the sun was shining on my arm. My arm burnt and then I ran out, with a mere 'I love you'." I sighed.

"So he saw the burning and the healing?" He sounded worried.

"Yeah, but don't worry about it. They know what it's like to keep a secret as big as that. They won't tell anyone." I looked up at him, to see him looking at me confused.

"What do you mean? They know what it's like…" He asked.

"They are vampires. A different kind though…they are 'The Cold Ones'."

He sighed. "Isa. Why befriend them?"

"Edward saved me from being squished by a car. Then saved me from 3 vampires that were after me. His family are so nice. They treat me like a daughter and a sister. They are friends of Charlie's." I looked at him again and smiled.

"Charlie? As in Giuseppe's brother Charlie?" I nodded and his smile changed into a grin.

"He lives in forks. He has been posing as my father. Chief of Police." I smiled thinking about Charlie. He had always been there for us, when our father wasn't. He acted the way a dad should, even though he wasn't one himself.

"Wow." Was all he said, he loved Charlie as much as I did.

"Yeah. He compelled a woman named Renee and her husband Phil to make them think I was their daughter." I laughed remembering the day he did that.

Stefan also laughed. "Sounds like something Charlie would do." We were both sat there laughing when we heard a bang. "What was that?" Stefan asked just as I got up and ran to the window. I started banging on the window; Stefan came over to me and looked out.

Damon was there. He looked up at me, with crazed eyes, when he heard the banging. I started glaring at him through the window. I ran downstairs and to the door, by the time I got there. He was gone. Stefan was by my side in seconds. I looked at him and yelled. "Get to Elena NOW!" We were both out the door and ran to Elena's. Stefan ran straight in, when Elena opened the door. I was stopped by the stupid barrier. Why make it so we had to be invited in? I thought to myself. Elena looked over at me and asked to come in. From then on we waited. He was going to come.

After about half an hour of waiting. Damon barged through the door, once again his pupils were dilated, fangs were out and he was staring at Elena with a murderous glare…
