Creed sure knew how to make an entrance. Not only was he gorgeous but he just had something that followed him everywhere he went. It's like people around him could sense his greatness.

"You know me I love a great story." He said.

'Even his voice is sexy!' Rosalie couldn't help but stare at him.

Bella stood up and got off the couch just as he made his way to them. He was a whole head taller than her so when he reached her he bent down and gave her a tender kiss on the forehead. If she could blush, she would have been bright red.

"Creed I'd like you to meet some friends of mine from Forks, the Cullen's." Bella turned to face the group as everyone watched how the two interacted together.

"Carlisle such a pleasure to see you again, it's been more than a century or two." He said smiling at him.

"Yes, it has been an eternity. I'd like you to meet my wife Esme, and my children Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett and Edward." He said as he motioned towards each of them.

Creed acknowledged all of them but his eyes stayed on Edward a little longer than they had to. Ah so this was him, the little insect that had broken Bella's heart. Creed was not impressed!

"Grab a seat I'm going to get refills and I'll be right back." By the time Creed used human speed to sit next to where Bella had been sitting she was back with a tray of drinks. She gave everyone their replacements and Creed his double scotch and A+ on the rocks. Unlike Bella and the Cullen's Creed was not a vegetarian.

"So what story are we hearing precious?" He asked as she sat down next to him.

"Mine. The one about how I came to be… well like this." She smiled at them all.

"I was hoping since you were here you could just show everyone, because I hate telling that story… it's so blah!" She smiled sweetly at him. "Please." She pouted.

Truth is it was painful for her, how she came to be like this. His showing them was much better than her trying to tell everyone and having to rehash that part of her life. And he knew which parts of the story to show them and which ones to leave out.

"How can I say no to that face?" He smiled at her.

'They are so cute! 'Alice gushed. She was still angry at her brother after all.

"If you would be so kind as to close your eyes and let you mind relax I can show you. I can project images into your head. It doesn't hurt, I swear."

'Even if it did hurt, with a voice like that how could you say no.' Esme thought.

Edward was shitty, even Esme liked him!

Everyone relaxed against the couches and closed their eyes.

They saw Bella swimming in the water some where, La Push beach. It was stormy and the waves were crashing around her. Then they saw a flash of red in the water. As Bella was under water they could see Victoria swimming towards her.

"No!" Alice gasped.

Bella tried to swim away but Victoria grabbed her by the hair and pulled her towards the shore. Bella was struggling against Victoria and the water going down her throat, she couldn't really breathe.

Once they reached the shore Victoria threw her onto the beach and leapt on top of her.

'Finally, you were so hard to get to. This is for James, an eye for an eye.' She grabbed her arm, where James teeth marks were and bit into it. Bella screamed in agony.

'I want this to be long and painful, so don't die yet.' Victoria yelled at her.

Edward cringed… she was going to torture her and he wasn't there to protect her! He now truly wanted to die.

Suddenly a wolf tackled Victoria off of Bella. Then another ran past as well. By now Bella was screaming in pain about the burning.

Suddenly Jacob was in front of her, wrestling to keep her down. 'Bella no!' He was crying.

Then Sam came next to Jacob. 'She's been bitten. You know what's going to happen! We have to…' He yelled at Jacob.

'We have to nothing, it's not her fault.' He kept holding Bella as she screamed.

'You know what she'll become.' Sam tried again.

'She's good, she's good. She can be like the other ones, good.' Tears streamed down his face.

'Jake you know what we are meant to do. I'm leaving now… whatever happens to Bella I'll assume you took care of it. I don't know anything.' With that Sam got up and left.

Everything went black. They could hear a very dull thump, thump, thump and then it stopped.

Suddenly Bella was in their garage in Forks. Bella looked around and saw her arms and legs were chained to a wall. Jacob was standing in front of her, looking like he hadn't slept for days.

'Bella, I didn't know where else to take you. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I was too late. I'm sorry you're chained up, I just… I just don't know what you're going to do. If it's safe to let you go.' He was shaking as he spoke.

'Jake. How long has it been?' Her voice cracked.

'Three days. Its over, you're one of them now.' He sat on the floor in front of her.

'Victoria?' She asked.

'I killed her, but I was too late.' He had his head in his hands.

'I'm thirsty. I need a drink.' Then she saw it, a dead deer on the floor of the garage. Before Jacob could move, she broke the chains off of herself and ran over to the deer, drinking every last drop out of it.

When she was done she shot onto the other side of the room and slide down against the wall head in her hands. Jacob hadn't moved an inch, he just watched her.

'Bella you can't stay her, you need to go. The pack hasn't smelt you yet but they will.' He said softly to her.

'Where will I go? I don't know what to do?' She was so scared.

Everyone's heart broke for her. She was all alone, with no one to help her.

'I don't know. Bells you know I'd run away with you but I can't… we'd end up killing each other this early.' He took a step closer to her but she put her hand up to stop him.

'What about Charlie?' She looked up at him.

'We drove you truck of the curve where the cliff is. Llooks like you served to miss something and drove off.' He whispered, but her hearing was so good she heard it loud and clear.

'When is it, my funeral?'

'Today.' He said softly. 'I've packed you some clothes into a bag and I've got my truck waiting for you outside… its time to go.'

She just stared at him. She stood up and followed Jacob outside.

'Bells when you're ready you call me. I want to make sure you're ok. Call me any time.' He was crying again.

'Thank you Jake. I love you and thanks for everything. And I mean everything.' She smiled as she got into the truck and wound down the windows.

'Keep the windows closed so you don't smell anyone and just keep driving. I love you too and I'm sorry.' He said sounding so heart broken.

'It's ok. By the way, you couldn't come with me anyways… you smell.' That got a small smile from him. With that she wound up the window and started driving, leaving her old life behind.

'I always knew who I wanted to be. I always knew who I wanted to be. I always knew who I wanted to be. ' She kept saying as she drove away.

Then everything went black again.

"Oh Sweetheart, that's terrible." Esme cried.

"I'm so sorry." Jasper said.

"Baby sister, that sucks." Emmett seemed very upset.

"Bella I'm sorry you were all alone." Alice looked ashamed that her friend had suffered alone.

Edward on the other hand couldn't speak. He was mortified. She wasn't better off with him out of the picture; instead she was defenseless, alone and scared. He had made a terrible mistake, he really was a monster!

"I wasn't alone." She smiled at Carlisle. "I keep telling myself what you told me again and again and again. Because of you, all of you I knew there was another way for me. I didn't have to be like the one that made me, angry and psychopathic. I was still me, just different. No offence babe, about drinking human blood and all." She smiled at Creed. He squeezed her hand and smiled back at her.

"None taken. And besides I only get my supply from here now anyways. Quite a business partner this one, let me tell you." He told everyone.

"So you're business partners?" Alice asked. 'Hmm mixing business with pleasure.'

"Well it was my idea, but Creed bank rolled this party!" That was true, he had paid for all the set up of Twilight, he after all had 600 years to make his fortune.

"Don't let her tell you otherwise, this is all hers. I financed it all at first but even though I didn't want it, she insisted paying me back every cent… with interest! It is after all a very successful business and it's definitely 100% Bella's."

Bella was still Bella, she didn't want anything for free. She was going to work for everything she had, make her own fortune.

"I'm sorry to cut this short, but I've abandoned my work long enough and I really have to get back to those books." Bella said standing up.

"Nonsense, I'm sorry we kept you so long. But I am so thrilled we got to see you. Next time you will come and visit us at home." Esme said giving her a hug.

"Will do and make sure you come back, but you both have to come down one night when we are open." Bella said as Alice attacked her into a hug.

"We have to go shopping soon." She said.

"Sure, I actually enjoy it now." Bella smiled back. "Don't look so shocked Alice, I need to fill my days somehow. Rosalie you have to come to." She said as Emmett bear hugged her.

"This is great you not being breakable anymore." Emmett said as he put her down.

"I think so too!" Bella smiled. She waved at Jasper, Rosalie and Edward as she started walking towards her office.

"I'll meet you in the office; I left something in my car." Creed said to Bella.

He followed the Cullen's into the elevator and they rode down into the car park everyone in a light conversation.

As they all stepped into the car park and started walking towards their cars Creed grabbed Edward's arm and spun him around.

"I've got something to say to you!"
