A/N: Hey Ya'll! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I was just taking a little break. This chapter is dedicated to my friend, Amber. She especially loved this story and I just wanted to let her know that I am so glad that I have her as a good friend. Thank so much for supporting me. Luv you all! And now…The confrontation!

Elizabeth POV

I grabbed Embry's and Nessie's hands as we walked into the cafeteria, my heart beating a mile a minute. Sure, I was furious about what they did to my mom, but I had always wanted a father. I loved my family, don't get me wrong, and I was so lucky to have such an amazing soul mate in Embry, but I had never had a dad to hold me when I cried, to intimidate Embry as he took me out on our first date, to walk me down the isle on my wedding day. I had never had that, and I wanted it more than anything in the world. I knew Nessie felt the same way, even though she would never admit it, in fear of Mason feeling abandoned in his hatred. I knew that I would probably never have that, though, but I could always dream. When he left Momma, he left us, too, even though he didn't know it. I was sure that he would have walked away even if he had, though. We were a part of her.

I held my breath as we walked through the double-doors. And then I saw him: the man that I had dreamed about of for my entire existence. He had Nessie's hair, my lips, and Mason's nose and face shape. He looked just like he did in the picture I had hidden in my sock drawer of him and Momma. I had found it under Momma's floorboards in her old house with Grandpa Charlie. What can I say, I was curious! He had a furious expression on his face and his family had many different ones: curiosity, shock, nonchalance, excitement, and anxiety. So many different reactions to our appearance. The humans were all having looks of lust and awe, but that was not important. What was important was a group of vampires were here, and they knew us. Well, not us, but part of us: our Mom.

I already knew that Mason had his shield up, so that they could not get near us and without getting near us, we could not talk.

'Remember to block your thoughts since Bella is not here to shield us,' told them using my power. They nodded to me, showing that they understood. I concentrated on studying Japanese, the current language that I was learning, while Mason was thinking about how much he loved Leah, and Nessie planning her next wedding. Leah was trying very hard not to worry about Momma (they were like sisters, now) but was mostly thinking about what she was going to do to Mason tonight, so I quickly tuned into the next person and shuddered. They were the most flamboyant about their sex lives. From what Momma had told me about the Cullens, they were a lot like Rosalie and Emmet in that sense. Jacob was focusing on the different pieces of a car, specifically and my Embry was trying to remember every book he had ever read, which was a long list, since he loved to read. Overall, I think that they were doing a pretty good job.

I then took a moment to clear my mind. I wanted to know what they were thinking and give a report via mind connection. The first thing I noticed was how when Mason thought about romantic love, Edward was in pain. I wondered bout that so I tuned in.

'Bella, my sweet Bella, is here and she doesn't love me. I broke her, and the proof is in that…creature's… thoughts. She doesn't love me, and everyone else has someone who loves them back, even those Mutts.' I growled when he called us 'creatures'. We are people, not 'things'. He looked up, shocked, at my response to his thoughts, but it seemed that he was so wrapped up in self-pity that he hadn't noticed that my thoughts were the same as his. Embry noticed my outburst and went into imprint mode and started to comfort my, asking me what was wrong.

"Later," I told him. He nodded and went back to concentrating.

I looked back at Edward to see him looking more frustrated now. He must be trying to listen to our thoughts, to no prevail. We were all one step ahead of him. I decided to take a chance (he was going to find out anyway) and tune into Alice's head.

'Omigod! Bella is here! I finally get my sister back! I can play Bella Barbie again! Yay!' I don't think that she realized that Momma probably won't let them back into her lives so easily after all that they had done to her, if at all. Her excitement turned to frustration soon, however.

'But why couldn't I see her? I thought she was dead! I can't see the rest of her coven either, though. Maybe they are blocking her or something…' She continued to ponder this as I switched to Rosalie.

'Finally! No more depression!' Ugh, she was only worried about herself. I checked what Jasper was thinking about next.

'Bella's back! She must hate me. I tore them apart! What happened, though? Alice said that she couldn't see her. I wonder why?' Aww, he felt as if it were all his fault! All that guilt! I could learn to really like my uncle. I looked to Emmet last.

'Awesome! My baby sister's back! I wonder if she is still as clumsy?' I glanced to Edward. He looked confused. Uh oh, he must have realized that my thoughts were the same as his siblings. I quickly turned back to Japanese.

We continued to eat our lunch, and the Cullens looked repulsed and shocked. We were part human after all, and they had no idea what to make of it.

"Let's go," Edward murmured to his family. And so it begins. As they made their way toward us, I whispered to Mason to expand his shield to cover the entire table, and at least a couple of feet around it so that they could get no where near us. He nodded and his forehead crinkled for a moment, and then a satisfied smile grazed his flawless face.

Just as they were about to reach us, Edward stumbled back a couple of steps, then Emmet, then Jasper. The girls must have realized that something was blocking the way, so they stayed back.

"What the hell is this?" Emmet exclaimed as he tried to penetrate the invisible wall again. We all chuckled and smirked at each other. Edward stepped forward and spoke.

"Why are you doing this? All we want to do is talk!" he said, getting frustrated. That was when Jacob lost it. I stood up quickly, his chair flying backwards as he did so. He took a couple steps forward so that he was in Edwards face, their noses almost touching, but so he was still behind the barrier.

"You do not deserve answers. You nearly killed my best friend, you left her, you suffer the consequents. Goodbye." He stood up grabbed Renesmee's hand, and walked out of the room. I grabbed Embry's hand and followed him, as well as Mason and Leah. I was sure that Mason continued to shield us as we walked out of the school. Bella would forge a doctor's note later. And so we headed home to check and see how our mother was holding up. I hoped that she would be okay…
