Alice was on the phone and there was only one person who she would sit there and talk to for an hour. Charlie. I was scared to hear his reaction when I talk to him. Edward was sitting across form me now. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to look at him and drink in every aspect of his face. Everything was moving so fast. And no the vampires were not moving fast it was only my mind.
I couldn't fathom the idea that he was real. If he wasn't then I was insane. I didn't want to be insane, along with the cancer.
"Bella?" I looked up from my lap to look in his gold eyes. My head snapped up and I saw pain in his eyes. But I kept my heart closed off. I couldn't let him see that I still loved him. I knew that he would just disappoint me again when he left. "Bella, I'm sorry." He said as he exhaled. I nodded slowly.
"Rose, can you hand me my cell phone?"
"Sure, Bella, here." She placed it in my hand and I dialed Natalie's number very quickly, not even looking at the numbers.
"Hello?" Natalie answered.
"Nat? Can you come home?"
"Sure, Bella, I'll be there in about ten minutes." I looked at my hands in my lap again. They were translucent. I could see the veins and arteries. I stared at my hands so I wouldn't look at Edward. If I looked at him again every feeling would melt, and I would tell him I still loved him.
Natalie stood next to me seconds later. Her hair was windblown and eyes were frantic. "Bella, what's wrong why did you call me?" I looked at her and then at Edward. She looked where I looked and her face became twisted.
"Bella, Charlie wants to talk to you!" Alice sang from the next room. I wheeled myself over to the kitchen and took the phone from Alice. Natalie followed me and stood there looking at me.
"Hey, dad, how are you?" I said my voice steady despite what I was thinking.
"I'm good, Bells, what about you?" I could hear the questions raging in his head.
"Okay, Natalie is taking good care of me, dad."
"That's good, honey. Can you tell me why I just spent the better half of the last hour talking to Alice Cullen?"
"Oh, dad, Alice and Rose were in town and they found me. I guess they were on a shopping spree."
"Oh well don't get too wrapped up. I don't want it to impact your health."
"I won't, dad. Give Billy and Jake my love, and don't forget that you're coming here in a month."
"I will, Bells. And no I won't forget. Bye, honey." And the line clicked off. I placed the phone back on the cradle.
"Bella, is that Edward?" I couldn't answer her so I just nodded. "Why is he here?"
"I don't know, Nat, I don't know." I shook my head. "I don't think I can go through him leaving again."
"Bella, you won't have to. Why don't you go rest for a while I want to talk to them. Maybe they can help me uncover more of my past."
"Okay but let me know if you find anything out."
"I will, don't worry." I wheeled into my room with Nat right behind me. She helped me into the bed, and left the room to talk to the others.
Natalie's POV
I walked into the room where the three other vampires were congregated. Once in the room I sat down next to the pixie. She was smiling and bouncing in her seat. I was serious though, so I turned a cold-hearted stare at her. She shrank under my glare and stopped the bouncing. Rosalie looked from me to her with raised eyebrows.
"Why are you really here, and more importantly why is he here?" it was then that I turned my glare to Edward.
"Did Bella tell you about the extra gifts some of us have?" Alice asked me.
"Yeah, she did what does that have to do with anything?"
"Well I saw her gravestone with a date." She took a deep breath even though she didn't need it. "The date was in exactly two weeks time."
I gasped and Edward looked at me. "You're thinking about what she said minutes before. She doesn't want to see me?" he asked.
"She's afraid of getting hurt. Again." I jabbed. "Sorry, I can't see her hurt again. She was broken when I found her, and she won't be broken when she leaves."
"What you wont even consider changing her?"
"No I won't Edward. She doesn't want that anymore. She only wanted it to be with you! She never wanted to live forever if she couldn't be with you!" I yelled in whispers, the whole conversation was taking place in whispers.
"He only left to protect her, surely she can change her mind." I shook my head at Rosalie's words.
"Bella, change her mind no I don't think so. She's stubborn I've known that from the moment I met her. I don't know if she told you but I have a gift too. If I touch someone I can tell what their deepest desire is. What they want, and why. And then I can tell what the person is missing in their life. Bella was missing her heart, and all she wanted was her family back."
"We didn't want to leave her!" Alice sobbed. "Edward made us leave her, we didn't want to! I couldn't stand leaving her!"
"She never blamed you, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Carlisle or Esme. Or even you Edward. She only ever blamed herself. I couldn't ever understand why. But she did, she always said that it was never your fault it was always hers." I shook my head.
"I bet it was because she cut her finger on wrapping paper." Rose muttered darkly. "I always gave her a hard time. I didn't hate her. I didn't resent her. I actually liked her. I always acted cold towards her because she was human. And well Edward was Edward. He wouldn't change a person. He has always believed it has destroyed our souls. I didn't want to see either of them hurt." She looked at the floor.
"What we going to do when she dies?" Alice sobbed again.
"Well maybe the rest of your family should come. The house is big enough to have you all here. It's not like you guys sleep." I said. "Please call them and have them come."
"Natalie, you said you don't know much about your past, can you tell us your story?" Edward asked calmly.
"No, not yet. When everyone is here. Bella said that Carlisle is the smartest and wisest, maybe he'll know." I suddenly had a glimpse of the room I woke up it. It was stone all around I was in a circular room and everything I saw was sharper. There was no one around as I walked around the room finding a doorway hidden. I walked out into the cool night air and smelled blood. And I wanted it. Edward gasped and I had a feeling he knew where I was and who it was that created me.
