FLASHBACK:

I was walking home from school talking to a friend, "I know right? Mrs. Sherman does look like a pig when she wears all pink. She is a good teacher but no denying that pink is not her color." my friend said as we both laughed.

I stoped suddenly, "Kate...do you feel like we are being followed?"

Just then a hand appeared on one of our shoulders. "Oh you are being followed little girls." We turned and saw a man with dark hair, pale skin and blood red eyes in front of them wearing an evil smirk. Kate screamed and made to run. I stood there frozen. The man sighed, "I hate it when they run." He grabbed the back of Kate's school uniform and threw her into the wall. She hit it with a sicking crunch and did not move. The man shrugged, "Oh well, you will do." He threw me over his shoulder and ran off into a nearby alley.

He dumped me down on the floor in an abanded werehouse. "Oh boys..." He called out. Three guys apeared from a nearby room. "Hey look, Petrov is back, and he brought us a play thing." One said leering at me. I backed up to a nearby wall.

They three moved toward me, "Remember boys, anything but raping her. She is a virgin, Cynthia and I love the blood of virgins." Petrov said as he wrapped an arm around another red eyed vampire, Cynthia.

I let out a scream but one of the guys was ready and gagged me. Another one bound my hands behind my back and the other grabbed my legs and spread them apart. "Well boys, lets take her to the bed. That way we can tie her down." One said gleefully.

They carried me to the bed and strapped my legs into the bindings at the foot of the bed. One ripped my shirt and bra off, another ripped my skirt off and the other ripped my panties off. I was crying, screaming, and thrashing about at this time. Petrov walked in and untied my hands only to place them in the bindings at the top of the bed. Cynthia walked over and placed a collar around my neck and attatched it to the chain that was hanging from the headboard.

"I do love it when they struggle do you Petrov?" Petrov smiled and pulled out a knife. He slit my thigh and drew enough blood to fill a small flask. I screamed in fright and in pain. He then handed the cup to Cynthia, "Ladies first." Cynthia drank half of the flask and moaned as she tasted my blood. "Oh Petrov dear, her blood tastes delicious. Let's keep her." Petrov nodded in agreement after he drank my blood. "I agree dear. Her blood taste absolutly divine."

I was paniking at this time and I knew something worse was going to happen to me. Hell, the crazy people infront of me were drinking my blood. Petrov looked at me and smirked. "Hello pretty thing," he laid his hand on my stomach, I cringed. "Your blood is making my head spin. I just want to sink my fangs in your neck and bleed you dry." His eyes were black. "But then you would just be another meal. Another dead body. If I span out my feeding times... I can make you last for a good few weeks." He stood back up and wrapped his arm around Cynthia, "Boys, you know where the toys are kept. Do not let her fall asleep." He said as they walked out.

I was subjected to Petrov and Cynthia drinking my blood from a flask every two days. When they were not drinking my blood the other guys were whipping me, cutting me, gagging me, groping me, fingering me. Anything you can think of they did. They even stuck a fucking vibrator in my ass, tearing it. Sometimes they would make me suck them off and then either cum in my mouth on my face or on my stomach. The one thing that they did not do...they did not penetrate me. They left that alone.

Like I said earlier, I was there two weeks. Two weeks without a bath or shower, covered in blood and semen. Two weeks with no more then four hours of sleep a night. And two weeks with very little food. I wanted to die.

After two weeks while Petrov and Cynthia were fucking, for that is what they did constantly, sometimes even in front of me, one of the guys made the mistake of falling asleep near me and having his gun laid out on the bed next to me. I reached over for it and grabbed it right as the guy was waking up. I shot him in forhead. The other two guys rushed in and I shot one in the stomach while the other in the heart. Petrov rushed inside, glared at me and snarled. He smirked and ripped one of his teeth out. He then jammed it right where my ovaries are. He quickly pulled it out after a millsecond. 'I gave you enough Venom to freeze your ovaries.' He then climbed ontop of me and I screamed right in his ear. Petrov flew backwards when somebody broke through the wall and knocked him aside. He ripped Petrov's neck and Cynthia ran off. He quickly ripped Petrov to pieces and stuffed him in a fifty gallon barrel before setting him on fire. He then turned to me and I saw his eyes lighten up to being gold. He quickly went to the bathroom and grabbed a bowl of warm water, soap and a rag. He came back and slowly undid my bindings and collar before he handed me the bowl, soap and rag.

He stepped outside and made a call on his cellphone to the police before walking back in. He stayed in the doorway with his back facing me and spoke in a soft voice. "The police and paramedics are on their way. One vampire was killed and burned so he is never coming back. The other one...not so sure. I too am a vampire but my gold eyes set me apart. Red eyed vampires drink human blood, I drink the blood of animals that is why mine are gold."

While he was talking I was hurridly cleaning my self up. He paused, "Do you need fresh water and a clean rag?" He said without looking at me. I made a small noise and he slowly came to me. I scooted to the head of the bed and curled up. He nodded and took the bowl and rag before exiting. He came back after a minute and place them right back where they had been. He then walked back to the door and continued talking. "I am sorry for what happend to you, if I had been passing this way earlier I would have been able to help you sooner."

I shook my head and made to speak but my throat was raw and dry. The man glanced at me and then went to get a bottle of water and a granola bar. He knelt down next to me. "Eat and drink slowly little one. I don't think you can handle throwing up just yet." I made to reach for the water but then realised I was still naked. He noticed and slowly took his shirt off. I cringed. "For you to wear little one. I swear not to hurt you." I quickly put the shirt on and buttoned it. He gave me a smile and handed me the water bottle. "What is your name little one?"

"...b...be...bella..." It was hard to form a word after two weeks of screaming. He nodded, "Don't speak anymore little one. I just needed to be able to tell the paramedics your name. My name is Phil, nice to meet you Bella." He held his hand out to me and I slowly took it.

Just then the police and paramedics arrived. I saw them and screamed throwing myself at Phil, throwing my arms around his waist neck and crying. Phil was stunned but gently wrapped his arms around my waist and held me gently. "Bella?" He asked.

"Don't let them hurt me!" He ran his hands through my hair. "Never little one. Would you like for me to stay with you while you are being transported to the hospital?" I nodded and clung tightly to him. He nodded at one of the paramedics as he stood up with me and walked me over to the gurney. "Bella, little one, I am going to lay you on the gurney so that we can load you into the ambulance."

My eyes widened. "No!" I clung tighter to him. "No bed! No bindings! Please no!" Phil nodded. "Okay little one. Breath. No bed, no bindings, but you will need to be wearing a seat belt. And you will need to let the paramedics check you over."

I glared at the paramedics. "No guys." Phil nodded. "Okay Bella, no guys. But you do need fluids in you. Will you let them do that?" I lifted my head and shook it while looking at him. "Can you do it?" Man I sounded like a little child just then. He nodded and set me inside the ambulance. One of the paramedics handed him an IV and Phil quickly tied my arm and found a vein before sliding the neddle in and tapping it to my arm. It didn't hurt. He then quickly attatched a bag of clear liquid to the line and then he grabbed a bag of blood and hooked it up to. He then sat next to me and the paramedics rode up front for which I was glad. He bent down and whispered to me, "I told the paramedics that you had told me your blood type, O negative by the way, when all I did was just smell it."

I gave him a small weak smile before I leaned my head against him and closed my eyes.

I woke up a week later in the hospital with Phil, my mom and dad in the room. Mom and dad were asleep on the couch while Phill was sitting next to my bed in a chair. He smiled at me and I knew everything was going to be okay.

I was in the hospital for another week before I could go back home. There the doctor told us that my right ovary was destroyed and tht my left one was very weak, and that I would probally be infertal. Mom, dad and Phil stayed with me the whole time. Dad decided to hide my case. He made everything 'Classified'. Renee went to the school and withdrew me for the rest of the year, seeing as how I cringed and had a panic attack everytime somebody touched me that first week back. Phil had agreed to homeschool me. Apparently Phil had told my parents that he was a vampire and they accepted it. Renee helped me find a local support group and she went with me everytime.

Phil homeschooled me and was there to answer any questions I had about vampires. He told us three not to tell anyone because he was breaking the law by telling us. A few wekks after Ingot released from the hospital Phil went away for a week. When he came back he said that we three had permission to know but that we could not tell anybody. Charlie had to go back to Forks, but he came to visit me every chance he could.

Mom and Phill got closer, then one day he asked me if he could date Renee. I smiled and gave him a hug. Three years after saving me, Phill and Renee were married. A year later I made my decision to stay with dad here. Truth be told... I was getting tired of hearing them go at it at all possible times of the day. Love them to pieces, but there are some things a child should never hear their parents do.

I finally lifted my eyes and looked at everyone. I noticed Jasper had left sometime during my flashback. The Cullens all were black eyed and the pack members were shaking.

"Okay, so you see, there are good and bad vampires out there." I looked at Rose. "One of my ovariesis is compleatly frozen, the other is half frozen. I have a menstrual cycle every six months. Even then the egg is weak and I barely bleed. So as you see Rose, it is damn near impossible for me to concieve. If I could ever have a child, I would want it to be Edwards but that is impossible to. So, no Rose, me not having a child will not kill me."

I turned to Edward, "Yes, my step father is a vampire. And I love him very much. He treats me and my mother right." He didn't look at me. He glared at Carlisle, "How could you not tell me?"

I glared at him. "I asked him not to tell you anything. You would have found someway to blame yourself for that happening. Do you remember me telling you that my number was up since I left Phoenix?" He nodded. "That was not a lie. But neither was it the truth. I can not go a year without running into some nomadic vampires. The few that I have met, I love to death. They are like my extended family."

I sighed and grabbed a lemonade bottle. I opened it and took a few sips.

"Anyway, the first day I was at school here, I kinda freaked when I saw five gold eyed vampires in the cafeteria, and one of them was glareing at me in biology." I smirked over at Edward. He cringed. I sighed. "I freaked out, so yes Edward, I did freak out at first. After school that day I went home, by passed Charlie, grabbed his cellphone and dialed mom."

"Bella?"

"Hey mom... I need Phill please." I said in a begging voice. I ignored dad as he tried to talk to me.

"Hey Little One, how is Forks treating you?" Phill asked.

"Phill, do you know seven vampires with gold eyes? Carlisle and Esme Cullen? Emmet, Alice and Edward Cullen? Jasper and Rosalie Hale?" I said in a panakiy voice. I saw Charlie stiffen right next to me.

Phill answered in a quiet voice. "The Cullen Coven. I know Carlisle, but while I do not know the rest of them, I have heard about them. They are the biggest Coven in the northern hemisphere. They are also animal drinkers. They try to blend in with the humans so not to draw suspicion to them. Are you okay Bella? Do you want to move back?"

I looked at Charlie who said, "It is your decision Bella."

I smiled, "Thank you for listening Phill. I feel much better already."

"Did anything else happen today at school?"

"Well, I have biology with Edward, and he spent the whole time glaring at me like I repulsed him. His eyes were also black. I don't think he breathed at all."

Phill was silent for a minute. "Bella, please do not freak out when I tell you this." That didn't sound good. "This is a theory."

"O...okay."

"While I do not know the other Cullens personaly I have heard about them indivuadly. Carlisle is the oldest, three hundred plus years. Edward is the second oldest, a little over a hundred years old. Esme, Rosalie then Emmett were turned within the next thirty years. I do know Jasper and Alice but they do not know me. Back to Edward, it is rumored that he can hear the minds of everyone around him. Did he seem like he could read yours?"

I thought back. "I didn't even speak to him come to think of it. I walked in and he flinched before covering his nose."

"Okay, that is different. While we gold eyes prey on animals, certain smells call to our basier instincts. A gold eyed can always go into bloodlust if someones blood smells particularly inticing. No matter how much restrain they have, most snap and end up killing that person."

"What does that have to do with Edward?"

"More then likely your blood smells good to him and he was trying to stop from smelling anymore of it so that he could keep his sanity."

"Okay... So I smell good to Edward... What can I do to help him avoid going into bloodlust and killing everyone?"

"If he is still at school, wear your hair down and cover your neck, that will hopefully draw his attention away from the pulsing blood under it. Stay away from fans so that your scent won't hit him like a ton of bricks. Sit as far away as possible from him. And most importantly Bella, remember this, for it is very important, never run away from him. That is one sure way to send him into bloodlust. We vampires enjoy hunting. And also, let him make the first move Bella. Him making the first move will show that he is willing to fight the call of your blood. That is all I can offer you, besides the obvious, don't bleed around him."

I laughed at his joke. "Thanks Phill, give mom a hug from and good luck with tryouts."

"Remind me why I am forcing myself to play minor league baseball again?"

"Because you love my mother and she loves baseball."

"Ah, that and she loves me in a uniform."

"PHILL! TMI dude! Did not need to know that!"

He laughed, "What till it's your turn Bella."

"I hung up the phone, did homework, made dinner and slept. Next day, Edward wasen't there, he showed up next Monday and finally spoke to me."

Edward jumped up. "See Bella! We are monsters! We have killed! Why the hell would you want to willingly become the creature that kidnapped and tortured you?"

I narrowed my eyes at him and lifted the corner of my lips letting out a low snarl. "Edward, let me ask you a question, do you see Alice as a monster? Pixie yes but a monster? What about Esme? Carlisle? Jasper? Emmett? Even Rosalie? Do you see them as monsters or as part of your family that you love and would do anything to protect them?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Am I considered a monster for having killed those three humans?"

He stared at me, "They are my family of course. And no, you are not a monster Bella, you never could be one."

"I have killed three people. Hell, I don't think that Carlisle has killed anyone. Next question, would you see me as a monster when I change or would I still be your Bella? Would you hate me for wanting to be with you, my mate, for eternity?"

He didn't reply. I continued. "Yes Edward, I am conciously agreeing to become the thing that gave me nightmares for several years. But I also am agreeing to become the the thing that rescued me. I know that I will crave blood the first year, but I also know that you will not let me fall. That your family, my family, will not let me fall. Edward, I am not changing so that I can be excatly like Petrov and Cynthia, I am changing to be like you all."

I looked over at my vampire family and smiled. "You think that I do not know what I am getting into? Three days of agonizing torture. Of my blood boiling as the venom spreads. The craving for blood that will probably cloud my mind for the first year. The strengh that will come from still having my human blood in me. Edward, contrary to what you may think, I do know what turning entails."

He kept glaring at me. I sighed. "This is getting nowhere." Just then my phone beep signaling I had a text. The only people that ever text me are here so who would send me one. Confused, I pulled my phone out and read the message. I smiled as I read it. I looked up as I say Jasper walk back into the backyard and sit next to Alice.

"Jasper!" I called out to him as he walked back to the group. He looked up at me and I smiled, holding my phone up so that he could read the text. "Phil says hi! I don't know how he knows you but he said that you will recognize him when you see him. He wants to introduce you to his mate."

Edward looked at me with sharp eyes. "Yes Edward, his mate is my mother. And from what I have been hearing, she is a very tame newborn."
