More Truths Revealed

Bella handed Elena a wine glass and sat in the chair next to her.

"You know Elena, I knew someone like you once." Bella said.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked.

"Someone who thought they always knew what was best for everyone around them." Bella stated.

"Who?" Elena asked.

"Edward." Bella replied.

"The one Jenna talked about at dinner?" Elena questioned.

"The same one, only there are a few things Jenna doesn't know about Edward." Bella said and gave a small smile.

"Like…." Elena pressed.

"Like he was a vampire….a Cold One to be more specific." Bella said, "You do know about Cold Ones don't you?" Bella asked.

Elena nodded; Damon and Stefan had explained to everyone about Cold Ones just in case Elijah would utilize them.

"I thought they couldn't control their thirst?" Elena said confused.

Bella laughed, "For the most part, but Edward and his family were like Stefan…they fed on animals." She explained.

"I don't understand what this has to do with me?" Elena complained.

Bella's eyes turned from a light blue to a dark navy as she said, "Patience…Edward and I met my junior year. He tried to stay away from me, but something pulled us together and I figured out what he was. I fell in love with him…like you are with Stefan."

"Is that scar on your arm from him?" Elena asked.

"Yes and no…one day his family, him and I were in a field and three nomads came. Everything was fine until the wind blew my scent towards the nomads and one of them tried to attack me. His family defended me and told them to leave but it didn't end there. James, the nomad who tried to attack me first, was a tracker…he was obsessed with the hunt and he ended up trapping me in a ballet studio." Bella explained.

"Why didn't you transform?" she asked.

"I couldn't risk exposing myself to Edward or his family…plus I was very weak at the time." Bella said, "Anyways James attacked me, bit me and in the end Edward killed him. But the venom was already in my system so Edward bit me to suck it out. A few days later I woke up in the hospital."

"That's what Jenna was talking about…she said you fell down some stairs." Elena finished.

"Yea, well the Cullen's were very thorough in making it look like an accident." Bella laughed dryly. "A few months later on my birthday, we were at his house I ended up getting a paper cut. Edward's brother, Jasper, tried to attack me, but Edward stopped him…unfortunately as Edward pushed me out of the way, I flew into some glass which equaled more blood and seven very hungry vampires. That night as Edward drove me home, he was silent and he didn't come to my room like he normally did."

Bella became very silent as she began to remember what happened next.

"A few days later, I came home from school to see him waiting for me, but everything felt off and ominous. We walked into the woods and he said that he never should have been involved with me. That I wasn't good for him and he left me." Bella said.

"I still don't understand why this has anything to do with what I am doing?" Elena said frustrated.

Bella's eyes darkened and she spoke very lowly, "Three years after Edward left me, Angela and I were in my dorm room…she was visiting. She was showing me how she could see things through water divination. Somehow the water showed an image of the Cullen's arguing and I found out that Edward left to protect me, not because he didn't love me."

Elena gasped finally realizing what the story had to do with her.

"You see Elena, Edward thought he knew what was best…he was protecting me, but that wasn't his decision to make." Bella said.

"And I'm doing the same thing." Elena whispered.

"Yeah, and just like Edward left me shattered into a thousands of pieces in those woods, what you're doing will do the same thing to everyone around you. It isn't your right to decide what's best for everyone. Honestly what makes you justified in doing this? From where I stand, all you're doing is committing suicide...assisted suicide, but still it's suicide. Just because you love someone doesn't mean you know what is best for them." Bella said.

"But they would come back from it…they would survive." Elena said trying to justify it to herself.

"Look at me Elena I survived; I put the pieces back together, but I've never been the same. You can still see the missing pieces because when you lose someone you love with your whole being you lose a piece of yourself." Bella said, "You have to fight Elena; even though you've decided to sacrifice yourself, your friends, Stefan, Damon, and your brother Jeremy are still fighting to find another way. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"How do I help?" Elena asked, "Tell me another way."

"Well you would have been better off by fighting in the first place, but you know the saying…it's never too late to start. So starting now, you fight…you fight until your last breathe and you don't give up." Bella responded.

.*.*.*.*.*.

Before anything else was said Stefan came blurring into the room.

"Elena, get away from her!" He said and showed Bella his vampire face.

"Stefan, what's wrong?" Elena asked, not moving from her spot next to Bella.

Bella merely rolled her eyes and shook her head, "So Damon finally got a hold of you…honestly I was expecting him to notify you earlier."

"What?" Elena asked confused.

Bella turned to Elena and said, "He's talking about this dear." And as she finished Bella allowed her face to change to its vampire appearance.

Elena jumped back and looked confused, "How?"

Bella's face changed back to normal and she looked at Stefan, "Okay before we go all street fighter on each other think about this rationally…the entire time I've been around you and Elena, she's gotten paper cuts…have I freaked even once?" Bella questioned.

Stefan's face changed back to normal and he relaxed a little.

"That's better," Bella said and continued, "Number two; I didn't have to be invited into the cabin so I'm not like you and I was about to tell Elena the next part of my story, but now since you're here you can join in. Go on cuddle next to your girlfriend by the fire and I will tell you a most intriguing tell."

Bella spoke as though what she was about to tell a fictional story, but it was far from it.

Stefan sat down next to Elena and they listened intently as Bella spoke.

"Okay you already know I'm part wolf…my birth mother carried the gene blah, blah, blah. So my birth father, if you can call him that, is a vampire. You see turns out male vampires can have children with human women." Bella explained. "My mom was out drinking one night when she caught my father's eye…she knew what he was, but something drew her to him and 9 months later poof there I was." Bella stopped for a moment and refilled her wine glass, "Charlie knew everything and he and his wife took me in. It wasn't until I was 5, I found out what I was. I was hanging around La Push and my ex-friend, Jake, ended up cutting himself…my face changed, but before anyone noticed or before I could bite him Charlie grabbed me."

"So you eat humans." Elena said.

"No," Bella said, "Since I'm part wolf, part vamp, and part human, my body is completely different from any of them or their typical characteristics."

"That's why you're the cure." Stefan said.

"Bingo…a werewolf's bite causes a vampire to die, well I've got a bit of both in me and mixed together I become the antidote to the wolf bite." Bella said.

"What do you drink?" Elena asked.

"Ah there lies the complication…you see normally I don't have a thirst and I don't have to drink blood to live, but I have to, to heal." Bella said, "The only blood that satisfies me is…supernatural blood. Vampires, werewolves, witches, shapeshifters, etc."

"What was Jake?" Stefan asked.

"Shapeshifter…he was another one of the people that thought they knew better than me." Bella said looking straight at Elena, "He left too, breaking me in the process."

"So when Damon saw you, it was because Elijah had stabbed him and his blood was…" Stefan trailed off.

"Inviting." Bella finished, "Since I've been here, I've been taking this stuff that curbs my…how do I say it… bloodlust if you will, but in the process it makes me weak, which is why I was wearing a turtle neck earlier."

"You weren't healing." Elena stated, "Do you need to feed on supernatural beings often?"

"No, but normally Angela forces me to drink from her because she knows it keeps my senses heightened and it keeps me strong." Bella replied.

"That brings us to the question; how does a witch and a vamp/werewolf/human become friends?" Stefan asked.

Bella laughed, "Angela and I found out about each other our senior year…after Edward and Jake threw me away, I was out, so lost and I decided to go to the one place I thought I could find some clarity. It was the meadow Edward and I shared, well one of the nomads that was there when James attacked me had come back to find me. You see James had a mate…Victoria and she wanted me dead. Angela had gotten a vision and she arrived in the meadow to save me since Laurent had decided instead of handing me over to Victoria he was going to drain me dry. He went for Angela and for the first time since Edward and Jake left I actually felt something. I felt anger and I allowed my face to change and I attacked Laurent. I threw him all around the meadow until I tired and then I turned into a wolf and tore him apart. Angela watched me and when I had torn him to pieces, she made the pieces burst into flames. I followed her back to her house, changed back, she handed me some clothes and I told her pretty much everything." Bella explained.

Everyone was quiet…digesting all that Bella had divulged.

"Wow." Elena said finally, "You were right…you are complicated."

Bella laughed, "Told you so."

Bella's phone rang and she answered it, "Hello Witchy Woman." Bella said greeting Angela, "Has Damon burned you at the stake yet?"

"No, but your Aunt Jules put a choke collar on him." Angela replied.

"WHAT?" Bella exclaimed.

"Short version, I went with Bonnie to find out everything from Luka, Jonas' son, and while I was away she and her little pack of mutts came in killed Alaric, got Damon with vervain and then put a collar on him. They attempted to get the moonstone from him but they didn't know…" Angela said.

"That Elijah has it." Bella finished.

"Right," Angela said and continued, "speaking of, he showed up and saved Damon's ass and told him to give you a message…Don't get in his way."

Bella laughed dryly, "Doesn't he know I'm like an insolent child…tell me not to do something, I'm gonna do it just to piss you off. I mean I was going to get in his way, but now I'm going to turn my interference into art."

"I knew you would say that." Angela said.

"So what did you find out from Luka?" Bella asked.

"Klaus has his little sister." Angela replied.

"He never changes." Bella said. "You would think after so many years he would change up his pattern."

"You would think, but let's face it, he's set in his ways." Angela replied, "Damon wants to talk to you."

"I bet." Bella replied, "Tell him I'll be back soon."

"Alright, look I'm gonna stay with Bonnie and help her with some stuff…you cool?" Angela asked.

"Like an ice cube." Bella responded. "Later Witchy Woman."

"Bye odd ball." Angela replied. "Oh and tell Stefan he has to tell Elena EVERYTHING."

.*.*.*.*.*.

Bella hung up the phone and turned to Elena and Stefan, "Well my work is finished here and I need to go do some damage control with your brother, so I will let you two love birds get back to your alone time. Stefan, walk me out?"

Stefan stood up and followed Bella outside.

"What did she mean?" Stefan asked as soon as the door shut behind them.

"I don't know." Bella replied as she threw her bag into her car, "Knowing Angela you are hiding something from Elena, and before you can expect her to trust you or your abilities, you have to let her know everything."

Stefan was quiet, but then said, "I know what she means."

Bella nodded, "I figured…look just tell her the truth. She loves you Stefan…no matter what."

"You sure?" He asked.

"Positive." Bella replied and got in her car.

"Wait Bella," Stefan said before she shut the door, "You said male vampires can have children with human females, is there a chance…" he trailed.

Bella shut her door, started the car and rolled down the window, "No Stefan, there's no chance Elena can get pregnant by you."

"But you said…" he replied confused.

"I know what I said, but I didn't specify….only Originals can have children with human females." Bella replied softly.

"But that means…" He trailed again.

Bella's eyes became gray…full of sorrow and pain as she said, "Yeah…my birth father is an Original."

She stepped on the gas and left Stefan in the dust. He didn't know how do take the information that Bella had just shared but he knew one thing for certain…no matter what, he could trust Bella, even though she was keeping everyone in the dark for the most part.

A/N: Alright so does that answer some more questions about Bella or are all of you still completely confused.
