I woke Stefan early enough to go to Elena's and find out the little girl. "Wake up Stef we have work to do."

"What do you mean "we" have work to do?" he asked. Really what do we have to do? There is a girl who cannot be compelled and is not wearing or ingesting vervain and he asks what work?

"Really Stefan you are not the least bit interested about the girl? She can't be compelled and you don't want to know why that is. Or why she moved across the country to live with her best friend who is not even remotely related to her." He groaned but got out the bed and got dressed. We arrived at the house and Jeremy answered the door. "What's up guys." He said and he let us pass and Elena was coming down the stairs already, good. "Stefan Damon what are you doing here so early?" she asks.

"Apparently Damon tried to compel Bella last night and it didn't work. Did you give her anything with vervain in it?" he asked as we all sat down at the table. "No I didn't I mean she just got here last night I figured I had a little time before I needed to worry about that. I also didn't expect Damon to try and compel her after meeting her for five minutes." Hmm well she shouldn't have challenged me and I wouldn't have tried to compel her. She is hiding something dammit and I want to know what.

"Well then she knows something we don't. I have never met someone I couldn't compel who wasn't on vervain. She is hiding something and I want to know what it is." Elena looked like someone just lit a fire under her ass. She jumped out her seat and started to yell at me. "If she is hiding something its none of your damn business Damon. Can't you just leave one person I know the hell alone. So what if she made you mad it happens. Not everyone is going to bend to your will and you will just have to live with that." Hmm nice little speech there Elena but you just confirmed to me that she is hiding something from us and it seems you don't know what it is either.

"Well I am going to find out what she hiding and I don't really care what you think Elena. It is safer for us to know what the hell is going on cause what if she knows about us huh did you ever think of that. I bet you didn't did you? You want her to stay alive then you better start talking

"Well Damon if you want to get on her good side for her to talk to you , you are going to have to tell her you were sorry for the way you acted last night. If that is possible for you and I would rather you stayed the hell away from her she don't need you in her life at all." Elena was still fuming when I heard Bella wake up and make her way down the stairs and we all got quite as she entered the room.

"Wow guys that doesn't look like you were talking about me at all." She walked over and poured herself some coffee and sat at the table with us. "Well don't let me ruin whatever was going on down here." Well you see you did ruin it little girl by coming in here. I seen something on her arm then that had me kicking Stefan under the table. There on her wrist was a bite mark from a cold one if I was not mistaken. How the hell did live through that and how the hell does she know a cold one? So many questions popped into my head but by then she noticed my looking and put her hand under the table so I could no longer see it.

"Sorry if we woke you up Bell. Damon was just being his usual ass self." Jeremy said. He was trying to make her think about something besides us talking about her. Maybe she wasn't as slow as I thought. Which cannot be a good thing.

"No you didn't actually I was on my way down. But I can see I interrupted something so I am going to take my coffee and go get ready to take a ride." Take a ride? Did she mean that the motor cycle outside was hers? She just keeps surprising me. I got up from the table and followed her up the stairs ignoring Elena whisper yelling for me to leave her the hell alone.

"Hey Jay. How's the pack doing?" I heard her ask into the phone. Pack? What the hell was she talking about and more importantly who was she talking to.

"Hey B. The guys miss you of course. I just missed your voice of course. You really looked good in that pic it's been to long since you smiled. How's the nightmares?" I heard a male voice on the other end of the phone tell her. So it was a boy was he her boyfriend? Why am I so worried about if she has a boyfriend? This girl confounds me. Why was she having nightmares? Before I could stop myself I asked her.

"You have nightmares?" I say to her back. She apparently didn't hear me follow her up the stairs.

"Umm Jay you mind if I call you back later?" she asked the boy on the other end of the phone.

"Nah its fine I have patrol anyway. Love you B." Patrol? What was he talking about? I didn't like hearing him tell her he loved her and as it turns out I hate it even more when she says it back to him a second later.

"Be careful and I love you to Jay." She hung up the phone and turned back to me.

"Is there something you wanted?"

"Awe didn't mean to interrupt the call with your boyfriend. Did you tell him about Tyler?" I smirked at her. I was just being a smart ass and to be honest I was hoping she would answer this question cause the ones that we coming later she was not going to like.

"One that was not my boyfriend and two it's none of your business what we were talking about and threw Ty is just my friend. Now what do you want?" She walked over to the closet and pulled out a helmet out and put it on the bed. She then grabbed some jeans, riding boots and jacket. She then turned back to me with me having my mouth hanging open. I can imagine her riding that bike and it was making me think things I should have not been. Focus I told myself.

"You know you will catch flies that way. You didn't answer me by the way about what you wanted."

"oh um right I just want to say I was sorry for how I acted yesterday. I am just having a rough time right now and that is in no way your fault. I was staring because you are pulling out riding gear. Is that bike out front yours?" Well maybe if I fake it she won't notice.

"Yes as it happens that baby is all mine. As for you apology I accept I guess I know you don't mean it you are only saying it to make Elena happy." Damn I was right she was observant. But she was also right I only did it to make Elena shut up.

"Well then I guess I didn't mean it little girl. I don't like it when I am challenged. I meant what I said about being scared of me too." I was really trying to scare her but I don't think that it was working cause let me be honest with myself I really didn't want her to stay away from me.

"Look I am not scared of you because you're not scary. So moving on from that if you don't like people to challenge you then stay away from me because I always will." She was absently rubbing the scar on her wrist. I don't even think she knew what she was doing. I really wanted to know who hurt her like that.

"Where did you get that scar from little girl?" I asked politely. Maybe she would answer if I was nice about it, but wouldn't you know I was wrong.

"Tell me how you got that?" I tried to compel her again and it didn't work it only served to piss her off even more. Let me tell you how cute she looked when she was pissed like a kitten.

"Look where and how I got that is none of your damn business now get the hell out of my room." She yelled and slammed the door in my face. I then went back to the table. Stefan looked at me funny and Elena was just even more pissed. I could see Stefan hiding a smile.

"So I guess that didn't work out for you at all did it brother?" he snickered. But I was too busy listening to Bella dress upstairs to listen to him. I heard her coming down the stairs. I watched as she went to the door and then turned to talk.

"Well I am off for a ride around town. I will be back later and hopefully you guys can have whatever you are arguing about all figured out." Then she promptly slammed the door and I used vamp speed to the window and watched as she gunned her bike down the road. I went back to the table and sat down they all had dumb founded looks on their faces. "Why did you watch her leave?" Elena asked.

"To make sure she left." I lied. I just wanted to see her for a few more seconds. "For the record I was right she is hiding something. That scar on her arm came from a vampire. But not like us there are two types of us and the one she got bite by should have either killed her or turned her into one like them. So what I want to know is how she lived through that and why is she still human if that thing bite her." Elena sucked her breath in when I was done and Jeremy just looked like someone had slapped him in the face. He was thinking the same thing that I was how someone could hurt her like that.

"Damon, do you really think she knows about vampires?" Elena asked. Well hello dumb question she had to know about at least one kind. "Yes Elena I think that it is safe to say that she knows about at least one kind of vampire. She got bite by one it's kind of hard not to know what is going on." She then looked at Jeremy. "Do you think it's her ex that was vampire? That was only guy she has ever dated. Plus that accident in Phoenix you remember?"

"Yes I remember that. We couldn't visit cause of school. It had to be him cause she never mentioned any one else. Do you think it was him who bit her?" Okay what the hell is going on her and who the hell are they talking about and how does a girl that hot not have other boyfriends?

"Do you want to share with the rest of the class what the hell you are talking about." I said through clenched teeth.

They shared a look and she then told be all about what happened with her ex Edward his name was. When she got to the part where he left her in woods and told her she wasn't good enough and that he didn't love her I was ready to kill. This was a new feeling for me I haven't wanted to hurt someone for hurting another in a while. It just meant I cared about her and it was a hard reality to come to. We just stayed at the table thinking about what this could mean. It had been at least 3 hours before we heard her bike pull up on the yard to say that everyone was glad she was back and safe was an understatement. Elena picked up the two cups I had put blood in and went to rinse them before Bella seen them.

"Hey Bell your back." Jeremy said as she walked in the house. She then just stopped and looked off into space so Jeremy stepped in. "Bell are you ok, you zoned out there for a minute."

"Huh yea I am good. So what have you guys been doing?" if you only knew what we have been doing. Trying to figure you out my beauty. She had her eyes on Elena that whole time she was zoned. I think she noticed the blood.

"Well we were starting to get worried about you. There for a second we thought Damon had scared you off." Jeremy laughed. Haha Jeremy I hope I didn't scare her off I want to get to know her better.

"Nah like I said before he is not as scary as he thinks he is." Well there you go folks. Now she was pissing me off I could scare anyone I wanted to. Apparently she had been hanging out with vampires already and they were way worse on control then we were so I can see why she wouldn't be scared of me.

"So what is it that you guys wanted to know? I know that you have been here all day talking about me. it is kind of obvious cause you all get quite when I come in the room." She wasn't stupid. I knew she knew that. But really is going to answer our questions or avoid them. Second is she going to talk in front of Jeremy and Elena? By then Elena was back at the table looking thoughtful.

"Okay so I will start." She said looking at Elena and Jeremy. "How long have you known that you were keeping company with vampires?" They both looked shocked but I wasn't. She was straight to the point.

"Well a while I guess me longer then Jer." Elena answers truthfully. "Hmm well when were you going to tell me cause I moved her to get away from the supernatural, but just seems to fucking follow me everywhere I go doesn't it." Ooh spit fire I loved it when she was mad. But was she not being a hypocrite right now she didn't tell Elena about this Edward being a vampire.

"About the same time you were going to tell us about Edward being a cold one." I said. She sucked in her breath and leveled her eyes at me.
