AN: Hey guys. I'm back. And I want to say thank you for your understanding of my current situation and for all the nice reviews I got. I wanted to thank you for your advises and apologise for letting you wait so long. So, anyway let's not waste any more time and on with the story.

Oh, and of course don't forget to review this chappie and tell me what you think. :)

Bella's P.O.V.

At nine everybody was there and we were sitting in the living room, eating.

"Bella, that tastes delicious! You have to give me the recipe for that.", Ziva said.

"Yeah, where did you learn to cook like that?" Abby asked.

"Well, the mother of my "mom" was a great cook. She taught me everything she knew and even gave me all of her recipe books when I moved to Forks.", I said, thinking about all the times I was standing in grandma-Swans kitchen with her.

After we ate and I put the dishes in the dish-washer we were back in the living room and they told me about their most interesting, dramatic and funny cases. I got to learn a bit about Ziva and McGee. They seemed really nice.

I can't remember the last time I felt so light. We laughed a lot and I must have fallen asleep. And as much as I hoped they wouldn't come, another nightmare had me in his grip.

General P.O.V.

"Is Bella sleeping", asked Abbey somewhere around midnight.

"Yep, she's sleeping. It was a long day for her."; said Tony, who said next to her.

"And I don't think that she has the best sleeping habits.", Gibbs added.

"Yeah, aah... Tony, about that...", McGee said and looked Ziva. "there is something you should know." Ziva frowned.

"What? What do you know, that I don't?"

"Well, when we picked her up this morning, we talked with the chief and you might want to call him.",said Ziva and McGee gave Tony the paper with the chief's number.

"OK... What is it that I need to know?"

"We are not sure. All he said was that there was some kind of incident last year and that she's still not completely over it. But he didn't get into any details, so we are as clueless as you."

Tony's P.O.V.

Incident? Now I was worried. I mean even a blind person could see that something wasn't quiet right - but a year? Bella is strong. Whatever happened must have been bad if she's like that after a year.

I decided to talk to Bella about it in the morning. And I would call Charlie to hear from him what happened and how she dealt with it.

Bella started to stirred and started talking.

"...no...please, Edward...don't do this...please..."

What the- OK, who is this Edward and WHAT ON EARTH DID HE DO TO MY SISTER?

"Bella, Bella sweetie, wake up. C'mon it's just a nightmare. You're safe, honey. Wake up.", I said as I gently shook her.

I held her down as she started to trash around and then all of a sudden she woke up with an utterly heartbroken scream.

She looked around the room panicked, like she didn't realize where she was. She was breathing heavily and her cheaks were wet with tears.

"Shhhh, shhh, honey. Hey, it's OK. It was just a dream.", I tried to calm her while hugging her.

While we were like this, I looked around the room at everyone. They all seemed to be worried, sad and angry. And I could see in the eyes of Gibbs, that Edward, whoever he was, would be very lucky if he had simply a few scratches after a little talk with him. And if he, by some wonder survived Gibbs anger, he surely wouldn't survive mine.

Bella took a few deep breaths and wiggled out of my arms after a while.

"Sorry", she muttered, looking down.

"Hey, hey, look at me. Listen, Bella you have no reason to apologize, OK?"

She nodded.

"But I do have lot of explaining to do, hm?", she said, half-smiling-

"I'd say so... Who is Edward and what happened?", I asked carefully.

If he really hurt her in some way, I had to be careful. And yep, judging from the way she just paled, that guy definatly hurt her.

"E-Ed-Edward?", she asked and it looked like it hurt her to say his name.

"Yes. You said his name while you were dreaming.", I said softly.

I was really glad that the others weren't interfering. But I guess we all knew that if we pressured her too much, she would block. We had enough experience to figure out that much.

Bella closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before she started talking.

Bella's P.O.V.

"He is – was my boyfriend." I knew that I had to tell them what happened. Better get it over with.

So I told them everything concerning the C-Cullens, leaving nothing out, because once I started, I couldn't stop pouring my heart out. But although I was so upset, I managed to come up with lies that would explain the inhuman things that happened. I was quiet impressed with myself over that.

Anyway, after I ended my story, it felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from me. It felt good, to know that I wasn't alone with that anymore. That others knew. People who really cared about me. I knew that no matter what, my brother would never leave me. He would do anything in his power to make me happy. It has alway been like this. Even when we were kids.

They were all silent through the whole story.

"You really loved that family didn't you, you still do?", Ducky asked, but it was more a statement than a question. I just nodded my head while I couldn't restrain a yawn.

"OK. Story-time is over, guys. Bella, why don't you go to bed?", Tony said, stroking my back.

I nodded again and muttered a goodbye before going to my room.

OK. The next chapter is up. If you think me lazy because I didn't write down, what Bella told them... well I plan to bring that in later on and by telling everything now, it would kind of ruin that moment in my eyes. Anyway, please review and I promise to write soon.
