Chapter 4

After breakfast; a plate full of eggs and cup of B+ and I was set for the a few hours. The family had gathered in the living room mostly in the same positions they were in the day before with the addition of Seth; who sat on the carpet leaning against the couch looking quite comfortable and at home while his sister, Leah was seated at end of the looking out of place.

"I'm guessing there are questions that you have accumulated during the night, you might want answering?" I asked, silently hoping they were question I was able to answer.

"You said that the wolves before there were vampires, do you know the history of the wolves?" Jake asked.

"No, I don't know. The history of the wolves go way back and there are very few that remain and even they don't know their true history, a lot has been lost to time." I answered him, feeling sorry I had no better answer to give him.

"You also mentioned that your mother was a witch, does that mean…" Carlisle began to ask but I finished for him.

"I am a witch as well? This may offend some of you but witches are the servants of nature and vampires are abominations of nature. You can either be one or the other never both…" I spoke looking out into the green forest, being a able to see the morning dew settle on the leaves of the trees and gather themselves and fall to the forest floor was a wonderful distraction.

"I'm sensing a 'but' somewhere in there?" Alice said with look that said she was not happy with not knowing what was happening and was very close to kicking the shifters out for causing a block to her visions.

"But I'm not normal, I do have some of my mother's…talents, but mainly I have an unbreakable link to my blood relatives, to know where they are, the status of their safety, their pasts and thoughts but only for my blood relations. Last night had a…update…for a lack of a better a word, with regards to my relations." I said allowing what I just said to settle in their minds before continuing, "my daughter, who I have yet to tell you about has been a vegetarian "cold one" vampire for the past 168 years as long as I have been… "Asleep" and she has been staying with the Volturi."

I waited for the explosion to occur which it did, "WHAT?" everyone shouted with the exception of Leah.

"Wouldn't she have recognized you when we went there, Bella?" Edward asked with a cute confused look on his face.

"Yes, she would have, if she was even there." I explained, "Aro had sent her as tag-a-long on a mission of some sort with another member of the guard but even if she was she would not be able to do anything about it without blowing my cover, which at the time I didn't know I had."

As an after thought, I wondered out loud, "I wonder why Aro didn't recognize me? I mean he should have…hmm… must have thought I was a descendent or something. Any way…any more questions?"

"Not at the moment. You can go on telling us your story." Carlisle said with an encouraging smile, I smiled sadly back at him and turned back to face the trees.

"The family drama, of course, if it were up to me I wouldn't be telling you this, because for me it's the most pain; to relive how my family was torn apart." I turned around to face them, "but I'll tell it, for it will explain a lot of things that are happening now as well as when my siblings return.

"My father, Mikeal, was a wealthy land owner in Eastern Europe, at the time it was only my parents and my older brother, who was killed by one of the wide animals that inhabited the forest where they lived. It was then they decided to move to America, as the call it now, a place everyone was healthy and strong. Werewoves. For twenty years they lived in peace with the wolves, in that time my mother had seven more children. Niklaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, Henrick, Finn and myself. Finn and Nik snuck out one night and tom paid the price. He was killed, and that was the end of peace with our neighbours. My parents had lost enough, and they could have easily left but my father's pride got in the way.

"As you know my mother then turned us into vampires. But that was only the beginning, when we turned my father discovered my mother's darkest secret; Klaus was not my father's son." I heard a resounding intake in breath from my audience.

"The Klaus became my father's greatest shame. As a human, my father's greatest weakness was his pride. So as a vampire that was magnified. " I explained.

"What do you mean? Magnified?" Carlisle asked.

"For vampires like me, when we turn our personalities are heightened." I answered him, "it becomes more pronounced and we have to find a way to control it." I saw them nod in understanding so I continued.

"As a result of Mikeal's pride being brused he went on a rampage and killed my mother's lover and his entire family." Waiting a beat before continuing, "what he didn't know, is that he was starting a war between the species that rages to this day…" I trailed of suggestively.

"What? A war between the species? You mean Klaus' biological father was a…" Esme questioned.

"A werewolf. Yes." I said.

"But how did Mikeal know Niklaus' father was a werewolf?" Jasper asked.

"I told before, when a male with the werewolf gene kills a human it triggered it, so when Nik made his first human kill, his was triggered." I answered.

"So what does that make Klaus a werewolf or vampire?" Jasper asked, but I think he knew the answer.

"He's both. A hybrid vampire/werewolf would be more powerful than any werewolf or vampire." I said with a sigh, everyone around me sucked in breath, needed or not, the shock was all around.

"Okay enough with the heavy, I know I'm hungry and I think the resident shifters are too." I said, knowing food was a good distraction from my story; for I just couldn't go on anymore, "Hey, you guys can go hunt!"

"Which reminds me, we still have to deal with Sam and his pack." Jake said, looking concerned.

Crap! I had forgotten that Sam and his followers wanted me dead. With a sigh I began to think of a way to solve this dispute without violence being added to the equation. I turned to Jacob and his pack and we started to discuss the matter. We decided that it would be too dangerous for me to go and play peace maker, even though that usually the role I love to play. The better option would for Jacob to go and speak to the La Push pack first show them his memories and then I would go when they have become to cordial and explain that neither my unborn child nor I would a danger to the land or the people in it. Well people in general since donated blood was the perfect solution to my problems. Why did they not invent blood back my day? It was a shame I didn't think of it, it would have saved me a lot of would be therapy sessions.

Bella….Bella…

"Bella, you in there? You seem to be deep in thought." Edward asked me in a concerned voice, and I almost cried.

"Ummmm. I'm fine, yeah lost in thought, worrying how Sam's pack would take this, or how they will react. I don't want Jake, Seth or Leah to be placed in a danger." I said with my voice shaking. Damn these hormones, "I still want to be there when they go meet them."

"Bells we'll be fine." Seth exclaimed, looking at me with a reassuring smile, breaking eye contact to look at Jake and his sister for affirmation which they both nodded to.

"But what are you gonna to do if things get violent." Leah asked.

"I'm a witch remember, I can stop them from shifting for as long as I want and things could…go…smoother…" my words die in my mouth as looked at Leah, her eyes on me, with unspoken hope. I had a feeling she was thinking the same as me.
