A/N: Bella talks to the Cullen…We'll have fun won't we _. In everyone's POV, yay, X_X oh god…
X_X Actually had a really hard time doing this chapter…I hate this chap made my head hurt ='[, I'm sorry how it came out but I was confused on how to do it…=[
Thanks for the reviews, even the anonymous ones, it makes me giddy…XD
I know ya been wondering about the flashbacks and why both Bella and Alice don't remember each other when having them, well here's the answer. Subconsciously they do but consciously they don't, that's why there act different on how their flashback ends.
And if ya remember Alice's first flashback she started to see human Bella and vamp Bella look the same. And all so with Bella, she felt sad when she heard Jasper was Alice's husband.
If any more confusion please don't be afraid to PM me or leave a question in a review.
A/N2: This wasn't beta'd…sorry, lol. I just wanted to update cuz I don't know when I'll ever update again…
Enjoy!
Chapter 6: Infor…
Bella's POV
I looked at the Cullen family. Everyone was seated. I of course was seated in the lone recliner, as Esme and Carlisle sat in the couch followed by Emmett and Rosalie (who didn't want to be here). Jasper and Alice took the love seat I tried to not frown and Edward sat on the arm rest of the love seat on Alice's side.
I told Alice I'll talk about myself when she lasted visited, and I knew they'll ask questions. I've already told Edward through my thoughts to tell me about his family, he agreed. Because seeing Rosalie didn't want to be here, I knew she didn't want to talk about herself, so I wasn't going to waste her time.
I already knew what I was going to tell them. I was keeping my powers a secret and also why I traveled and about my scar. I wanted some things to stay secrets. Only Edward would know all of those secrets, even though Alice knows one of them I'm fine with that. I decided I'll tell one of my secrets throughout my thoughts when I'm talking. It'll of course be why I traveled. The others will be in private, which will take awhile to get there.
I took one last look at Alice, my mind went straight back at what happen last Saturday. On, how she subconsciously slept on me. It was weird but it felt nice having Alice sleep on me. Thing is I didn't tell her I knew, she might apologize and I wouldn't want that. And how I knew, well I'm anyways aware when I feel something touch me. When I did feel something I opened my eyes and saw her. She was so peaceful and adorable. I couldn't wake her up it actually felt nice to have her lay on top of me. Which I shouldn't have felt that, but you can't control your feelings, right? So I went back to sleep with a smile on my face.
I shook my head to clear my mind. It was time to talk to them, tell them about myself. Not all of it though.
"Well then let's begin." I announced ready to speak.
Alice's POV
Even though I did see Bella tell us about her life. I was still excited Bella wasn't like any other vampire I've met. Bella was, no, is special. She's special more ways than one. I stared at her, ready to actually hear her tale than see it.
When Bella woke up in the woods she didn't know what was going on she didn't know why she was there. Most of all she didn't have any memory of anything expect what her name was. But she knew she had to get out of the place, she didn't have any place in particular. She ended up in Huston, Texas. And that's where she met other vamps who spotted her walking when the sun was out they took her in an abandon warehouse. She didn't know what they were or what she was at that time or what she was doing in an abandon warehouse. She asked them and they told her, and they asked why she doesn't sparkle she didn't have an answer and still doesn't. She started to work with them so she could have money of her own. Two years later she left them and moved to Brooklyn, New York. She continued her life, moving every six years so no human wonder get suspicions.
A total of twenty six years later she wanted to travel, she went to the worse place known to man, Volterra, Italy. Where she unfortunately met Felix, when she was walking in broad day light and then was taken in the Volturi castle where she met the power hungry bastard Aro, and his lackey of brothers Caius and Marcus. Aro took an automatic interest in her when Felix told her why she was here and she said she doesn't sparkle and could do what humans can.
That's where it started Aro wanted her already, he asked her for her name. Her last name is Swan then why have, it as Brandon. I'll have to ask later I don't want to look. Then he asked her to join the Volturi guard but she said no. Which started a heated argument, she knew there was no way persuading him. So she did the only thing she knew before threats was involved, she teleported away to in the heart of the jungle of South Africa. She stood there she didn't want to leave not wanting to take a risk of seeing a Volturi guard.
As the years passed, she was in a need to hunt and there she found her a black panther having a struggle giving birth. All thirst went away as she made her way to help her. She gave birth to three cubs Bella laid all three in front of her so she could clean them off. She took off after that, the thirst was coming back and surprisingly she didn't want to hunt the mother panther and her cubs. She took down an elephant wasn't her favorite meal but it had to do. She went back to the panther and took care of them, it was surprising that the panthers weren't scared of her, actually they loved her. Hey, her eyes are green, guess she's happy when she did those things for that panther.
A total of ten years later, Bella was out to hunt she stirred clear from the panther that she saved and her cubs. She took down another elephant when she felt another presence near her. She turned and was faced against a Volturi guard. She didn't know who he was, so she asked and he said who he was. Demetri had tracked her down with the help of her pocket watch. He asked her to reconciled joining the guard or else. She wasn't fazed by the threat, she still said no.
That's where the battle begun it wasn't a long one. Bella ended Demetri's life within seconds he was no match for Bella's speed and strength. She didn't go into details, said it was too graphic. And seeing her eyes dark blue now, it's understandable. Demetri is supposed to be the strongest vampire out there. God Bella took that title.
After that indecent she said good-bye to the panthers and left. The rest of her life she traveled the world naming each place she been. And the vampires she met while traveling, but she never stood with them longer than four years. God she met a lot of vampires and continued to move not staying in one place.
The last place she been was Egypt, where she met a boy name Benjamin. She stood with him for twenty years, longest year she been with anyone. Benjamin knows about her powers, she truly trusted him. I guess she has to stay with ya for like twenty years to tell you about her powers, but why did she tell me about it.
And now she's here, the only place she never been yet.
I looked at her I promised I wouldn't tell anyone about her powers, even though I know it's not fair keeping secrets. This is hers not mine and she's not really a member of the family. She's a friend of the families—okay mine and Edward's friend, but friend nonetheless.
Rosalie's POV
I don't even know why I'm here listening to her talk about her life. I didn't care. But what else could I do, Esme will be disappointed that I didn't come and hear. And so that's why I'm here listening. I wasn't really paying attention. You can say I was just here for show. But when Bella said she can do what any other human can in an everyday life. It started me thinking if she can get pregnant.
Yes, I still dreamed of having a child or something close, that's why I have Emmett. I had to hold back the giggle.
Carlisle's POV
I was fascinated throughout her tale. Even though I should have felt sad for her killing Demetri I was actually impressed. Demetri was a strong fellow. For her to take down Demetri like he was nothing is pretty impressive. Bella is one amazing girl. I can't wait until she tells us about her powers. She told us she teleported to get away from the Volturi. I already guessed she's a shield type, because Edward can't read her and Jasper can't feel her. But Alice can see her. It's interesting.
Esme's POV
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Bella has been all alone throughout her nomadic life. The people she faced, like the Volturi. Who wanted her because she doesn't sparkle, like the rest of us. But she refused them and when they wouldn't take no for answer so she teleported away. Never in my life I've, heard someone that has the power to teleport. But ten years later when Demetri tracked her down and found her in the jungle of Africa, she had to kill him, I was horrified about hearing her kill someone she didn't seem the type to take a life. I could tell she didn't want to, her eyes changed to dark blue when she told us when she killed him. She was sad she had to take a life to save her own.
Edward's POV
I didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts when Bella was talking about her hundred year old life. And what she has encountered, like the Volturi, and who her first kill was, Demetri. After that she told us she traveled the world, and the places she's been at. She was hiding something, I could tell. But she didn't let it show to the others, she wanted only me to know.
Edward? Bella said in her thoughts.
I stared at her, she looked back. Then I was hit with why she truly traveled the world. It made me sad and angry, that she was looking for Alice all her life. All her life she tried to get a clue who was this Alice person that was engraved on one side out the heart shaped necklace. Finding Alice was her reason to live.
Emmett's POV
I was confused throughout Bella's tale I didn't understand why she was traveling from one place to another none stop. But once Bella told us she killed Demetri because he was tracking her to kill her if she again refused to join the Volturi guard. She refused and she killed him before he could even blink. I was sad because of that, I wanted to be the one to kill Demetri, but what's done is done, right?
Jasper's POV
I looked at Bella. I couldn't stop staring into her blue green eyes I don't know it feels like I've seen those eyes before. The more I look into her eyes. The more it haunts me. I shook my head and focused my attention elsewhere. But that didn't do, images of her eyes popped in my mind. This is so frustrating.
I looked back at Bella, she began to talk. I could feel nothing coming from her. When I first met her or saw her, there was nothing. I didn't understand. I did talk to Carlisle about it but he didn't have the answers. He did suggest talk to Bella. So I have a chance now, I decided to talk to her after she finished talking.
I could feel everyone else. Carlisle was fascinated and impressed of her tale, Esme was horrified when Bella told us she killed Demetri, Rosalie was in a bitchy mood like always, but interested. Alice was excited to hear about her friend's life, Edward was joyful then sad and angry I didn't understand why, Emmett was confused—well everything confused the big idiot but was sadden when Bella killed Demetri—everyone knew Emmett wanted to be the one to kill him.
Me I was frustrated, angry, confused, and agitated throughout her tale. I couldn't feel anything coming from her, but throughout her tale her eyes changed color I wondered why.
Bella's POV
I finished talking, thank god. I knew they wanted to ask questions. Just hoping those questions don't go to asking about my powers.
"Bella, may I ask something?" Carlisle said. I nodded.
"Do you have any other powers beside teleportation and a shield?" He asked, I sighed and answered "Yes I do." He opened to his ask another question about my powers but I cut him off "And no I will not talk about my powers, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't trust you. I'll like to have some secrets to stay hidden. There are things that you don't know. Like the scar on the right side of my face. That will stay a secret." And the other scar you guys have no idea about and other things vamps aren't suppose to have.
Carlisle nodding in understanding, I smiled.
"You say you can go out in the sun and not sparkle and can do want humans can. And also how does your teleportation works if I may ask." Carlisle said.
"Yes true, I don't sparkle and I can do what humans can. And I'm able to teleport, if I just think of the area I want to go and blink my eyes or close them and imagine it, and I'm there."
"That's amazing. When you eat human food where does it go?" He smiled happy he got how that powered worked.
"I have no idea, when the food hits my stomach I feel it there for an hour then it's gone. This is my theory, the food it breaks into molecules and goes through my stomach to my veins. That's what I think because when I eat I don't need to hunt for three weeks. So the food becomes a substitute for blood"
"That's interesting." He said rubbing his chin.
"But that's just a theory I don't even know I got it down right." I frowned.
"Oh yes, can someone teleport with you." He nodded continuing to rub his chin, thinking.
"Yes, if I want them to."
"Okay, that's all the questions I have."
"Um Bella?" Esme said getting my attention. I wondered what question she wants to ask.
"Have you killed anyone else besides Demetri?" She asked I was blown away I never thought Esme was the type of person who wants to know about killing and death.
I sighed, "Yes, I've killed someone else." I shuddered at the memory that was slowly creeping in.
"Who?" She asked.
I shook my head keeping the memory at bay, "That's something you don't need to know about." Someone like her doesn't need to know that.
"You said you had a pet panther or somewhat like a pet since you took care of it and its cubs. When you were thirsty how did you not kill it?" Edward asked.
"Self-control, I guess. And plus why would I want to kill something I saved." I said smiling.
"Okay…" he said unsure.
"Okay so I loved her, I couldn't kill her or her cubs." I told him.
I waited for another question but it wasn't too long, "Why can't I feel you?" Jasper said a bit annoyed.
I was slightly confused I didn't understand why or how I was blocking him. I looked at him, "I don't know, I didn't know I was blocking you."
He looked at me not satisfied with the answer but let it drop. "Okay."
It seems his not use to someone blocking him and I don't even know how I'm doing it. Maybe because my eyes show what emotion I'm feeling, I think. Great more theories.
I looked at everyone, waiting for yet another question. I wasn't getting much because I told them I wasn't going to speak about my powers or the scar which will lead to a whole boat load of questions, if I did.
I took a quick look at Alice, and then looked away, still waiting for questions.
"Wait your true last name is Swan?" Alice asked I looked back at her.
I sighed great I should have never changed my last name. But whatever vamps change their last names at times.
"Yes."
"Then why have it as Brandon?" She questioned
I shrugged, what she thinks she'll get an answer, because I don't have one. I didn't even know why I picked Brandon, I still don't know why. It's a mystery to me.
She frowned not getting a real answer.
I looked around bored to death, waiting for another question was aggravating.
I was ready to leave to have a talk with Edward till she spoke. I never knew I could be taken off guard by one simple question, "Can you have kids?" Rose asked.
I blinked, I couldn't believe my ears. One Rose spoke to me. Two she wanted to know if I can have kids. And three it was quite embarrassing to answer. "Um I don't know…" I looked down embarrassed.
"I um…never had been with anyone, intimate wise." I added.
"What about that Benjamin fellow? You said you been with him longer than anyone you met." She said.
I shook my head, "I never find him…um interesting in…um. Well you know." I swear if blood was still running through my veins I would have been redder than a tomato.
This caused Emmett to laugh, "So you're a virgin?!? Ha, a hundred year old virgin." his booming laughter increased, becoming louder. I had to hold back the tears, running my hand through my hair to calm myself down there was no point in crying.
When calm down, "What do you expect when being alone!? I don't have someone to love like you do. So I advise you to shut that trap of yours!" I hissed.
"Hey I'm sorry. It was a joke" He said.
"I don't care if you're sorry. Cause, I don't find it funny." I said, angry. I can feel it the flames in my body, running through my veins like they're were blood.
I couldn't take it I needed to leave. I lowered my shield. Edward, get me out of here before I baroque Emmett! I thought to him. Immediately Edward was by my side, his arms around me helping me up. "I think that's enough with the questions." Edward told them. They all looked at each other. Emmett had this stupid grin on his face.
"EMMETT STOP THINKING THAT!" Edward shouted. I shook my head in disgust. I don't think I'll ever like Emmett. I rather choose Rosalie than him.
"Oh Edward." Emmett said stilling holding that stupid grin adding a wink.
Edward and I excused ourselves, out back. Edward looked at me, "You okay?"
I stared at him and shrugged, "His lucky his not an Emmett incense right now."
He broke into laughter. "Hey all you need is to shove a stick up his butt and lit his hair on fair. And bam Emmett incense."
I couldn't help but laugh. It felt good to laugh after so long. When I'm around Edward I'm free. But when I'm around Alice I feel something I can't explain.
Our laughter's ceased, we looked at each other. Not in some lovey-dovey way, ew no, we just looked at one another as friends really close friends.
"Well then." He knew there was more and I do indeed tell him but not around the house where his family can hear. "Out, of hearing range." I told him and bolted into the woods. He followed, he was right beside me. He was fast but I'm faster, but I don't want to show off my true speed.
We stopped in a clearing. I sat down on a fallen tree and he say in front of me I felt like I was the teacher and he was the student. I looked around, taking in my surroundings. Edward was quiet, patient and I'm glad he was because I don't know if I can talk about my other secrets with a calm tone.
I turned my attention on Edward, he already know why I truly traveled, next is to talk about my powers. It's amazing I could tell someone I hardly made contact to tell my secrets. I opened my mouth.
Edward didn't interrupt once while I tell him about my other powers, even the one I didn't tell Alice, the one that I can change my scent. I think if I told his whole family I would have been interrupted like four times. I was glad Edward stood quiet out of the whole ordeal.
"Alright. What about the scar? And why you ditched school for two weeks?" He asked.
"Well first why I ditched was because memories of the past about Demetri gave rushing in. I didn't go to school because I wasn't in the right state of mind. I couldn't handle it I just wanted to be alone, so no one can ask questions what's wrong with me. And also I don't know why but I couldn't be around Alice for some odd reason." I sighed.
"But you still got everyone worried. Everyone in school wondered what happen to the new girl. And what do you mean by you couldn't be around Alice." He said confusion making its way known.
I shrugged I didn't care about the humans it's not like I'll hang out with them. But I didn't have an answer about why I couldn't be around Alice.
You do know dipstick.
Oh your back, this is just grand haven't heard you in awhile. And how do I know?
Oh wait, oops. Only I know but let's see if this will jog your memory. How did you felt and what did you do when Alice told you who was the fifth person?
I was sad and I ran when I heard Jasper was her husband. But why would I do that?
You're so smart. Well I do have the answer for that.
TELL ME!
It was me, who made you sad and made you stay away from her. I'm you but I'm you when you were human I didn't want to be near her or you near her. It hurt to just be near her, because I know the truth and you don't. That's why I took control of you without you knowing and made you run.
So those flashbacks were of me when I was human. But did I grant Alice's wish or was it you?
Yes. It was you who granted it I didn't want to take part of it.
What's going to happen between me and Alice?
I don't know, but I'm not gonna take part of it. I'm staying out, you do what you want. I'm only going to show up if you're confused or being stupid. There is no turning back there never was when you first stepped in this place.
Alright. So these weird things I feel when I'm around Alice, is it me or you?
It's you, didn't I told you I'm staying out of it. Your actions are your own, or feelings.
"Bella are you alright?"
"Huh?"
"You had been out of it." Edward told me.
I shook my head, "I'm fine just lost in thought."
"Okay…Any who what about the scar?" He changed the subject. I was grateful I didn't know how to tell Edward that my inner self or human self was the one that made me stay away from Alice.
I hated the scar and the memory that goes with it. It wasn't my fondest memory.
"It happened forty years ago, when I was in London." I took a deep breath, telling this will be the hardest thing to do. I was never fond of this memory.
"I walked into the woods for a snack. I hadn't hunted in awhile so it was time. I finished off my meal and was ready to go back. Until I heard a howl, it was loud and clear. Instincts told, me to run and I did but I had a feeling it was chasing me. I stopped and turn there it was in all its furry glory. A full blown werewolf, it stood on its hind legs. It was all black, its scent was worse than the fake mutts down here. It was bigger than the mutts down here too and its height around 8 feet. It was alone or so I thought at that time." I sighed I hated the memories that revolved around the mutt.
I jumped back before it could do anything. When I landed it charged at me, I dodged with ease it was slow to me. But it didn't stop and I didn't want to kill but I had to. I was becoming angry throughout the battle it didn't want to stop its attacks so I had no choice but to kill it. It took awhile for me to kill it, because one I didn't know how to kill a werewolf and two I didn't want to kill. When I thought the only way, it howled in pain when I ripped its head off. It started to turn back to its human form which scared the shit out of me the only thought that came was to lit it on fire which I did. And the weirdest thing was the blood was grey, so burning it was a good idea." I shook my head pushing back the memory of the human form back.
"Wait it turned back to its human form? And grey blood?" Edward interrupted for the first time. I nodded.
"That's a Children of the moon. The mutts down here are shaper shifters, when killed they stay in their wolf form and their blood is red." Edward informed more about the fake mutts.
"But what about the scar?" He asked impatiently.
"I'm getting there. When that was done I ran I needed to get away. Half way through my run I heard another howl. I was thinking did it survive which is impossible because no one can survive my fire or was there another one out there. So I turned back, I knew how to kill it so I was ready or so I thought. I saw it in a clearing its back was to me. But when I entered the clearing it turned around facing me growling, its sharp teeth shown. Then started the fight, I was the one that made the first move. It couldn't see me I was too fast for it but I wasn't using my full speed. I was –"
He cut me off "What do you mean by not your full speed?"
"I'm the fastest thing alive, okay technically died, when using my full speed I'm a blur to both vamps and any other mythological creatures, and humans."
"That's insane, being a blur to mythological creatures." He said.
"Can I continue?"
"Oh yes sorry." He smiled his crooked smile. If, me and Edward wasn't friends I might of fell for that smile. But we're friends and that smile doesn't do a thing to me.
"I pounced on its back but it disappeared before I had a chance to land on it. I was confused I looked around my surroundings it was no way in sight. Then I looked up and I saw it going down on me from above that's, where I also saw the moon was full no cloud was blocking its light. I was amazed at the moons light shining on the mutt. And I knew that was the only way it moved from my reach, the moons light helped it. But as I thought that I forgot all about the mutt, it clawed the right side of my face with its middle sharp claw. But I still didn't move out the way I was crying out in pain and it took that chance to claw me one more time on my stomach. So much pain was all I could feel and think, but I moved back this time. Using my full speed, the mutt died within seconds." I ran the tip of my index finger down the scar on my face. Then I lifted my shirt to show him the huge three scars on my stomach. I heard his breath hitch. I let go my shirt to stop showing my scars.
"And right then and there I knew that was a real werewolf, the scars healed within two days but left huge scars. But I also realize the first one had no experience in fighting but the second one did." I frowned.
"Bella those things are suppose to be extinct." Edward told.
"Well, I faced two and I have proof that I faced them and you told me how they are when killed." I sighed.
"Well that's it, now you got something to tell." He nodded
Then it was Edward's turn to speak. I listened as Edward told me about how his family came together. How they're human life wasn't that grand. How and why they were changed. Then how, their life was together as a family and what role each family member played.
But after all that information I was given. I couldn't help that Edward was hiding something from me.
"Edward what are you hiding?" I asked.
He sighed, "A hundred and twenty years ago, Jasper left Alice. She was in a spiral of depression she didn't function. Then something happened twenty years after the separation and she came back to being the Alice will all know and love…Then something else happened." He looked down.
"You're hiding something still. It has to do with me, doesn't it? And something else which lead to Jasper coming back." He nodded then added, "I can't tell you the rest. Please understand you have to remember Bella. You have to." I looked at Edward, if he could cry he would.
"I know." A single tear rolled down my cheek, for me and for him.
