Chapter 3: An Explanation

Disclaimer: I own nothing upsettingly

Bella POV

I looked around at everyone. All of a sudden I was hit with fear. Fear of what they would say to me when I told them everything I had been through. I slid into my chair a blank look on my face. They asked me what was wrong. Memories flash through my mind of those early days. "In the early days after my change in London, when I was a neophyte as Edward called them. When I was wild and out of control, when I ran with the others just like me.

Flashback

We ran silently through the city streets, wind blowing our hair. There were people near by and we were thirsty. We turned a corner to find a young woman with 2 young children. We smiled. They started muttering in French…"help us please, help us!" we grinned, then we pounced.

Their screams still ring in my ears." I put my hands over my ears, trying to block out the screams and I closed my eyes, but that brought forth their terrified faces, and all the blood. "There was so much blood. That was the night I had decided to become a vegetarian you could say. It terrified me of what I did. I went to the Volturi, and asked them to help me. I became one of them and stayed there until I moved here. They decided that I needed to get over my past, I think they knew you guys were back." I look down, afraid of what their faces would look like. Betrayal. Horror.

I jumped when I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I looked up slowly, it was Edward with a look of understanding on his face. I don't deserve your sympathy, I'm a monster his eyes widened. He had heard what I had said. yes you can hear me but not for long and I quickly put up a mental block shoving him away.

Edward literally stumbled backwards having to catch himself on the table.

"sorry, didn't mean to shove that hard, I just don't like people trying to read my mind and use their powers on me so I block them out. That's one of my powers, to block others, I can also borrow peoples powers to use them for myself. The Volturi didn't like that very much when I used it against them." I giggled at the thought of Marcus chasing me around the manor screaming at me for doing something to his hair.

"Bella, we aren't afraid of you. We all went through that to, especially me. But, you've seen the light and all's good. We aren't gonna judge you for your past." Jasper said coming around to hug me.

"yes, we don't judge Jasper because of what he used to do. We aren't going to do that to you." Edward said coming over. Jasper let go of me to go back to his seat. Edward walked over and hugged me tight and said,

"you're family Bella, we love you, I love you." i snuggled into him sniffing in his scent, and knew I was home.
