Chapter 6

After Dimitri left, I felt myself getting depressed. I mean I am in a forest, by myself and I have no clue what I should do. It has been 5 days since I have seen any humans. Edward and the rest of the Cullen's especially. I really want to see them, I know I have good self-control but for just-in-case I decided to hunt. Hunting is double the pain for me. Feeling Emotions and then knowing I can take the hurt away, but making myself walk away is hard. I killed a couple deer and was satisfied but I felt hurt and exhausted from the emotions and decided to sit down for a while.

I started thinking about what I should do when I visit the Cullen's. I mean there are probably search parties out there right now or there were. And they are going to wonder where I have been. I think I should tell them, they are my family now. If they still want a bloodsucking monster in their family. I got up and turned invisible believing that would be best for the trip to their house.

I went vampire speed and ended up at their house in a matter of 6 minutes. I could feel emotions running from depressed to sad to angry to guilt. I walked up the driveway while turning myself visible again and knocked on the door. Esme answered looking like she had cried for hours. I gave her a huge smile and was waiting for a hug, when she growled and said, "Who are you? What do you want?" I was about to answer when she slammed the door in my face.

I frowned. Oh wait a minute. She would not recognize me because during our change are appearances become different. I knocked again and Carsile answered. He also looked sad, and very tired. "May I come in?" I asked. He led me in to their white leather couch and I sat right down, seeing Esme sitting there crying. "Are you guys alright?" I asked, not sure what was wrong. "We lost a close family friend. But who are you?" Carsile said. I realized I was the family friend. "Well Carsile, Esme I have some great news. So if you do not mind can your whole family come down." I said. Esme nodded. "Kids, come down here now." She yelled.

About 5 minutes later, they all arrived looking sleep deprived and like Carsile and Esme the crying. I could not keep my eyes off Edward. "What?" They all muttered. "I know your family friend, Bella Swan." I said. "And?" Esme said rudely. She has never been like this before, better get to the point. "I found her." I said. They all looked at me in shock. I took a deep breath, that I really didn't need and said, "Me. I am Bella." They all looked at me like I was nuts. Edward snorted. "Prove it." Emmett yelled. I smiled.

"Carsile and Esme Cullen you have adopted, Alice Brandon, Edward Masen, Emmett McCarthy, Jasper and Rosalie Hale. Rosalie and Jasper are twins. Alice and Jasper are dating. Emmett and Rose are dating. Edward was dating me. I lived with Charlie, he beat and raped me. You all saved me. I was soon getting stressed from all the Charlie events, so Alice booked me and Edward a flight to Maine. I became sick, and we came back to Forks where I was put in the hospital. Carsile was my doctor and you all were basically watching over me 24-7." I said. I stopped to see everyone's emotions. Emmett = confused. Rosalie = angry. Edward = stressed. Alice = hope. Jasper = sad. Esme = confused. Carsile = hope. I sighed.

"So what happened then?" Jasper asked. "Well, Emmett and Rose were watching me at the moment, and Emmett kept whining about wanting food. So Rose said her and Emmett will be right back and left me alone in the room." I said. Rose and Emmett were shocked. "She is right. That is exactly what happened." Emmett said. I nodded. "After that?" Rose asked. "I will tell you that in a moment but first if you have any doubt that I may not be Bella please ask your questions." I said. Lets see Edward, Jasper, and Carsile had a little doubt. I decided to help them out. "Jasper?" I asked. "Who and Where did me and Rose move from?" He asked. "Washington State, you never told me about your real parents. But you were at an orphanage and you said the owner was a real bitch." I said confidently. Rose burst out laughing and nodded. "Yup! That is exactly what I said." She responded between laughs.

"Carsile?" I asked. "I do not understand how it is possible." He said. "I will tell you in a moment. Edward?" He responded, "Where did I meet you?" He asked. I noticed how he said you instead of Bella. "I was limping to school and you pulled up in your Volvo. You asked me if I wanted a ride and I got in. You asked about my ankle and I lied to you and told you I fell down the stairs. Then you told me all about your family. And invited me over the night to in your exact words, 'My father is a doctor, he could check it out if you want. Then maybe we could hang out.'" I said.

Edward looked like his eyes were going to pop out of his head. I felt a shrill of happiness and knew it was Alice she ran over and hugged me. I could smell her blood pumping. I tried to ignore it as usual. She let go and sat down and I smiled. "So the after…" I told them everything that happened and I felt shock and a little disbelief during it. "So you can feel what everyone else is feeling?" Alice asked. I nodded. "How am I feeling?" She asked. "Um… Excited, Happy, yet sad." I told her. She smiled. That triggered a human memory.

Flashback

"Bella? You want to go shopping?" Alice asked excitedly. "Sorry Alice. I can not." I said. "Why not?" She asked. "Because my dad and I have to go to a family friends house tonight." I said sadly. "Who?" Alice asked? I was lying so I just said what came on my mind. "Um.. Jacob Black. He is a friend of mine and my--and my da-ds. Sorry Alice." I said. I really wanted to go. But Charlie would not let me go.

End of Flashback

I now felt sad, exhausted, and pained. I sighed. I looked up to see Edward looking at me feeling guilt and pain. The pain was horrible adding on to my own. Then all of a sudden more pain came and I fell to the ground clutching my stomach. Everyone tried to rush over but I told them all to stay back. "Edward.. You did not do anything. None of this is your fault. And I am fine." I said in between breath's. I felt the feelings go away and I stood up. "I understand if you do not want a bloodsucking monster under your roof. So I will be leaving." I started to walk when Esme grabbed my arm. "Sweetie, we all want you here and besides you do not hunt humans you hunt animals you said so yourself." I smiled. "Okay." I said.
