BPOV
I sat on the couch with my legs resting on the arm rest and my head absently on Edward shoulder. We were watching a movie. I couldn't remember the name of it. It was romance story, that's about all I can tell you.
Edward sighed and I jumped in surprise causing him and the others around us to laugh. "I've never seen a jumpy vampire." Emmett said in a booming voice. I chuckled and nestled my head further in Edward's neck. He smiled and wrapped his arm around me.
I had been living with the Cullen's for almost a month now. I think I spoke a word or two a week, the only one that ever heard me speak was Edward. The only word I really ever said was Edward. I was accustomed to nodding and shaking my head now. I was surprised at how natural it came.
I smiled as the movie ended with a lovey-dovey, rather cheesy line. "Okay kissy movie over wrestling starts now." Emmett said picking me up and placing me on the floor sitting in my spot.
Edward growled at him but I laughed and grabbed Edward's hand dragging him to his piano pointing at the page that sat on the stand. "This one?" He pointed to the opposite side of the page I rolled my eyes crossing my arms across my chest tapping my foot impatiently.
He laughed and started to play the other one. My song. It sounded sort of like a lullaby, but I wouldn't be sleeping to the sound of it. I wish I could though. After he played it over a couple of times the sound was overpowered by the loud cheering of Emmett and Jasper. Edward scowled at them but I kissed him on the cheek and walked up the stairs him on my heel.
I slumped on the couch of my new room and sighed looking around. Carlisle and Esme moved me into the guest bedroom. It had a hide-away bed that was built into a an too-stuffed couch. It was the only other room that had a balcony, they noticed how much I liked it. It was facing the forest and at night me and Edward would sometimes jump out and race to the meadow.
The door closed and I smiled as Edward's intoxicating scent filled the room. I closed my eyes and took a big whiff smiling. He sat down next to me and I purposefully fell back and let my head rest in his lap. He looked down at me and smiled, I smiled back sticking out my tongue.
"I love you." He whispered.
The only other four words I ever said. "I love you too Edward." I replied.
"Ah you just used your week's worth of words in a sentence, thanks, now I won't be able to hear your voice." I smiled and leaned up to kiss him. He kissed me back eagerly and passionately.
He pulled away and I sat up so I was sitting in his lap and placed my head on his chest listening to him breathe. "Bella do you think for once you could tell me your story, how you came to be? What your children's name's were? What happened to your husband?" I scoffed and nuzzled his chest with my nose. "Do I take that as a no?" He asked.
I sighed and stood up walked to the balcony and situated myself on the ledge. Edward followed. He took my and hand and scooted close enough that he intertwine his fingers together with his arms wrapped around my body.
We sat there for a good three hours just watching the sun-rise. I smiled realizing it was Saturday and that I had the whole day with Edward. We sat their for another hour and I pondered on his questions. In all the time I've known him, I've never told him anything about my past, and he deserved to know. So, I took a deep breath opening my mouth. I don't even think he noticed, because he gasped almost too inwardly for me to hear when I did speak
"I was sixteen." I said. He looked at me.
"I thought you were sixteen now?"
I shook my head, "I like to block out the year that followed me sixteenth birthday." I said.
He just stared at me waiting for me to continue, I took another deep breathe and began again. "It was 1806 and I had just turned sixteen when my father came home. He worked at this bank, I forget the name, but it was owned by a very powerful man named Harold Cormac the First. He had a son, Harold the second. My dad apparently owed Cormac some money, and he didn't pay him back so Cormac said that if he didn't want to die that I would be given to his son as a wife. My father agreed and came home telling me that it was an honor to marry a man with such a great status,
So not a week later I was sent away to live with Elizabeth, Harold's sister, she had two daughters," I choked back a sob at the thought of the family, not hat it fooled Edward he looked down at me, he was careful not to pity me, he knew what that would cause. "Their names were Marie and Deloris. Six months after I moved in Elizabeth, who was now more than a friend to me she truly was my sister, Elizabeth's husband died and me and Harold were named godparents."
"Did you ever see Harold?" Edward asked.
I blinked and nodded. "Once or twice a week, he would take me to his house on Sunday nights tell Elizabeth we needed some time alone together, and we would always tell me that he need inspiration if he was to get through the week." I shuddered at the memory, even though it was blurry I remember him taking scissors to my corsets when he couldn't open them.
Edward, feeling me shuddered pulled me closer and kissed the top of my head.
I started again after a long moment. "Elizabeth went missing three months after I was named godparent. Harold had gone away for three months before we were to be married so I was to raise the two little girls who were truly already like daughter's to me all on my own. It was February 14th two days before mine and Harold's wedding when I found Deloris, who was now almost two, dead, in her crib. She had been sucked dry of all blood." I attempted to choke back the sob again, but only managed to make it louder. Edward kissed my cheek and started to hum my song.
"You don't have to continue." Muttered in my ear.
I shook my head. "It's alright, don't expect to get so many words out of me ever again, better finish this now or forever hold my peace." Edward kissed me again and I sighed.
"Marie came running in the room with none other than Elizabeth on her heel. Elizabeth pounced Marie ran and screamed. Harold, who was supposed to be out on business, and many others came in and pulled Elizabeth off me calling her a night-devil. Then Harold scooped me up knowing the penalty for people that had been bit by a legendary night-devil, which I thought was just a story made up to scare kids. He put me in a clearing in the forest and left."
"What happened?" Edward whispered.
"I went back tot eh city and watched Harold. He had obviously been cheating on me, which of course was fine because we were forced together, but he was married with in the year. He of course had been the one delaying mine and his wedding and us living together. He had children but years later he and his whole family died of the Spanish Influenza.
"So I watched Marie. She lived a long life, never forgetting to pray for my soul at night. She had children naming one Isabella, and for a long time that name was passed down in the family, all the way till 1912 when all off them were wiped off the face of the earth by the Spanish Influenza and that one thing I looked forward to watching everyday of my entire life was gone. So I fled into the forest hoping to starve, only to find that I could feed off animals. In 1921 Damien found me proclaimed that I was a human eater and they "taught me" different." I finished.
"Wow." Was all Edward said. I nodded and swung my legs around and on the floor. Then I walked briskly to the room. Edward was at my side, he grabbed my hand gave me a full blown kiss on the lips and we walked together back downstairs to find everyone sitting silently.
Esme ran over to me and hugged me tightly and I immediately knew that they had heard my story. "Oh Bella." She said. I shot a look at Edward who tapped Esme on the shoulder. She ignored him and looked back at me. "We love you Bella remember that." I nodded and turned back to Edward wrapping my arms around him.
They all smiled at me sympathetically and I sighed deeply. Great, just what I need more sympathy.
"It was a long time ago…" I whispered before I knew what I was doing. "They all stared at me and I shrugged. I knew that this was my coming out day, and that tomorrow would be another average day.
I sighed at the thought. I loved the silence. It was great. "Well I want to go for a walk, Bella?" Edward said looking at me. I smiled and nodded and we left the house.
He lead me down the driveway, we obviously weren't going to the meadow. I looked up at him and back at the forest. He smiled at me and handed me a sweater I didn't even notice he was holding.
"I though we could go somewhere else." I looked at the sweater and back at him raising my eyebrows. "Props." He said helping me put it on. Great…humans, just what I need.
He smiled at me and grabbed my hand again. We walked a little bit and came to the Forks mall. I turned to him fuming…well not really just trying my best to look like it. He laughed at my failed attempt to be mad at him. "I want to get you something." He whispered kissing my ear. I smiled and he led the way into the mall.
"Edward!" I heard the second we walk in. A girl walks over with bags in her hands. Another girl at her heel and a boy with blonde spiky hair was mumbling jealous swears about Edward as they came closer.
Edward sighed and whispered only loud enough for my ears. "Great…just what I needed, Jessica and her jealous boyfriend Mike." I giggled but regretted it as the one in the front, Jessica, looked at me and scoffed.
"Who's this Edward?" She asked.
I tilted my head and smirked, was he going to call me his girlfriend. He never called me that, this might be amusing. I squeezed Edward's hand and looked up at him smiling smugly.
He looked at me and laughed. "Don't look at me like that it's weird for me to call you this for the first time after a month but," he turned back to Jessica, "This is Bella my girlfriend." I burst out laughing at his serious tone.
HE looked at me. "What?" He asked and I just shook my head.
"You can be so serious." I muttered and he nodded.
"Well love is a serious thing." I nodded and he pulled my hand up and kissed my fingers adoringly. I heard Jessica's boyfriend make a gagging sound, Jessica scoff, and the other girl smiled brightly.
"Come one love." Edward said looking back at Jessica. "Bye Jess." He said nonchalantly.
He lead me to a bench where he sat me down and left coming back a view minutes later holding a box. He handed it to me and I looked down at it. It was a box that held a necklace.
In it contained a thin silver chain that had a leaf shaped charm at the end that was shaped out of sapphire. Lifting it out of the box I realized the silver chain was lined with Diamonds. It was beautiful. I gave it Edward and he put it on me kissing my cheek.
"It's beautiful." I whispered and I kissed him. IT was I loved it. But not as much as I loved him.

I walked through the hallway cautiously sniffing the air and listening for even the slightest sound. "Edward?" I whispered. Silence. It was weird even after 200 years of silence it suddenly made me feel uncomfortable.
I was at the top of the stairs and I heard a door bell ring. I was about to check to make sure it wasn't the vampire stalking me when I was suddenly scooped up and was brought down stairs in the speed of light.
I was set down at the bottom of the stairs and before I could run away the strong arms of a vampire were around my waist and were squeezing me. "Edward." I managed to croak suddenly out of breath.
