Greetings everyone. For me it's a big deal to have two chapters in a row, so praise me as much as you can. Anyway I have made it that Edward would be the last to know. That's when I plan to write up the whole story. So be patient with me. This chapter will have Bella tell Carlisle, Esme, Emmett and Rosalie. The next chapter will be Edward, plus a little surprise as well.

BPOV

I was able to dodge Edward's questions (thank you Alice) so I was able to tell the others first.

I slowly made my way to Carlisle's study hoping he will be alone. Again faced with disappointment, Rosalie is also in the study as well.

I knock on the door. "Come in." Carlisle replied. As I enter, Rosalie exits, it used to be annoying but today it was perfect.

I reach Carlisle at the desk and take a seat.

"What can I help you with Bella?"

"I want to tell the story of what happened after you all left." That caught his attention. He puts his book on the table to give me absolute attention.

I proceed to tell him my story. From the week after they left til the day of their return. When I finish, I notice that Carlisle was speechless. Well this is a first.

"He was never charged was he? You kept quiet didn't you?" All I could do was nod.

"Are you going to talk to Edward about this?"

"I will. Once I tell Esme, Emmett and Rosalie."

"Why wait?"

"Because I need all of you to back me up when I say that there is no need for revenge. I have let it go, so should everyone else." There were a few moments of silence before Carlisle spoke up.

"That's understandable but you and I both know Edward won't see it that way. You have been hurt; both physically and mentally. Edward would want to fix the mess that he left behind; including the damage you have received since he left. But if you don't want us to take revenge, then that is your choice and we will help you stop Edward from doing something he'll regret."

"Thank you Carlisle. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to find Esme and tell her about what happened."

"What about Alice and Jasper?"

"Alice found out through a vision and I filled the caps with Jasper beside her. They're the ones that convinced me to tell the rest of the family, including Edward."

"Well then, I'm glad you chose to speak with first. And yes, Esme should be the next to learn. And may I suggest Rosalie being the one after Esme to tell."

"I'll keep that in mind Carlisle. Thank you."

Before I leave the room Carlisle hugs me like any father would hug his son or daughter. For once in a long time I finally felt like apart of a family.

Carlisle suggested checking the kitchen first, then the garden outside. With that in mind I walked down to the kitchen. Lucky for me I found her in the kitchen by herself.

"Esme, its Bella. Can we talk for a moment?"

Esme turns to face me. I can see she's cooking dinner for me. "Of course hon. Sit down, I'm listening."

"You better sit down Esme, because what I have to tell you is big."

With a single nod of her head, she sits down across from me.

Then I tell her the story from start to finish with as many details as I could remember. Once I was finished, she was just staring at me. The next thing I knew was she had embraced me and was tearlessly sobbing.

Now I thought that I was done crying over this whole situation. In fact, I thought I had no more tears to shed. Well, due to the fact that Esme was crying for me, well, I started to cry myself.

I cried for myself, I cried for my father and what he went through. And I cried for the Cullens; my second family, especially Edward for having to come back to this mess. I had a lot of this to cry about and Esme was right in front of me sobbing her heart out as well.

Once we settled down, Esme started questioning me.

"So, has he been charged?"

"No."

"Will we charge him now?"

"No."

"Why?"

That question stopped me. Why? Why not charge him? He deserves it for sure. Then I remember the reason.

Flashback

"You'll never get away with this. Charlie will put you in jail for sure. I will never forgive you."

Mike grabs me by the arms and shakes me roughly.

"If you tell a soul about what happened, I will personally kill all you hold dear. And I think I'll start with your father, Charlie. Got it?"

All I could do was whisper a meek, "Yes."

"Good, now you and I will be together, yes?"

Again another, "Yes."

"Good."

End Flashback

"Because Mike threatened to kill Charlie if I said anything."

Esme stood in the kitchen processing what I just told her.

"Who else have you told?"

"You, Carlisle, Alice and Jasper."

"What about Emmett, Rosalie and Edward?"

"I plan to tell Emmett and Rosalie next."

"What about Edward?"

"I tell when the time is right."

"Tell me your boy's name again please."

I couldn't help but smile. "Anthony Mason Swan."

"Could I visit his grave with you some time?"

"Of course Esme. I would love to introduce you to him. And anyone else if they're willing."

"Now go and tell the others. I'm sure they would want to know."

After one last hug from Esme, I go in search for Emmett and Rosalie. It isn't long before I spotted them both in the games room. Rosalie was on the lounge watching Emmett who was playing with Jasper on the playstation.

When I enter, Rosalie notices me first. With a dirty stare she starts to get up. I'm quick to object.

"No please Rosalie. I need to talk to both you and Emmett."

Jasper turns to me and Rosalie. With a smile he pauses the game and leaves the room, ignoring the protests from Emmett.

Now that I had both Emmett's and Rosalie's attention I had to quickly tell them why I needed it.

"I wanted to tell you what happened when you left."

Rosalie wasn't happy. "That's it? That's why you wanted to talk to us? I'm out of here." I had to say it now.

"I was raped Rosalie. That's what I wanted to say."

Rosalie looks like she was struck in the face when she turned to face me.

"Who raped you little sis? Tell so I can kill him." I turned to face Emmett and shook my head.

"If that's how you'll act on what I tell you then you can forget about me telling you anything. You both have to promise me that neither of you will kill my attacker, who ever he is."

Rosalie and Emmett look at each other. As if they're in a silent conversation with each other. I start to get nervous. They turn to me with serious faces.

"Why are you asking that? He hurt you. He deserves to be punished."

"He'll kill Charlie if I do."

Rosalie nods in understanding. But Emmett…

"Bring it on. We can protect both you and Charlie. No worries." Typical Emmett.

"We promise Bella, don't we Emmett?"

"Yeah, we promise."

With that out of the way I proceed to tell them about the events leading up until now. Explaining every small detail. Once I was finished, I realised I shut my eyes during the story. I open them to find Rosalie in tearless sobs while Emmett is comforting her.

Once Rosalie calmed down, she explains to me why my story affects her greatly.

"Bella, before I was turned into a vampire, I was to be married to a man called Royce. He was from a wealthy background and could support me greatly. You see I always wanted a baby of my own. Marrying Royce would allow me to raise a baby in a beautiful lifestyle. But on the eve of my wedding day, I was out going some last minute preparations when I came across a group of drunken men. It happens to be Royce and his mates celebrating his marriage. When they noticed me, they advanced on me. They backed me into an alleyway and took turns raping me while the others watched. They left me for dead, but Carlisle found me and changed me. I met Emmett and you know the rest."

"So I guess that means you and I are in the same boat." That was all I had to say.

Suddenly Rosalie embraces me. We sob together while Emmett id comforting both of us.

Once we calm down, I excuse myself and go to try and find Edward. My greatest challenge I'll have to face. Telling the man I love that I have been defiled by another.

What will he say?

What will he do?

Will he still want me?

Will he still need me?

And most of all…

Will he still love me?

Thank you, everyone. The next chapter will be Bella telling Edward. And also a small surprise as well. Anyway keep up those great reviews and I'll keep those chapters going.

Until next time…
