Ch9-*Bella's P.O.V.
I started my story with the beginning for Eiji. "You see I was like Ash in the yah I see the look on your face that you understand." Eiji looked sad for Ash and for me. 'What a sweet guy.' I thought of how he would be a great friend for Ash. "But, what I never told Ash is what I really need to tell you both." I gave an apologetic look towards Ash for he knew I didn't tell him with good reason. "In the beginning as I've told Ash, I lived in Forks, Washington before moving to Texas after my parent's divorce. Then I met only two people in my family that accepted me in their family. My grandmother didn't like me nor did my female cousins. My uncle and Grandpa were the only ones nice to me, soon Grandpa died of a heart attack. My uncle was my only chance of ever getting out of the bad situation. My uncle's name is Jason Louise Whitlock. Who Ash knows as Blanca."
I saw Ash get really shocked and hurt in his expression then reigning in whatever he wanted to say. He gestured me to continue in a hurrying way. I wrapped an arm around him in comfort. "After getting away from the family situation Blanca trained me. Then left me, and I found myself in the streets in Texas and that's how Golzine's Restaurant found me. Every now and again Blanca found me to check. But I got out on my own also learning a few tricks on the way. I was around 14 or so when I met Ash in the library. The truth is Blanca wanted to see if you were worthy for him to train."
I smiled at Ash, "Don't be surprised Ash he checks out a person and his personality before he trains them to make sure their not like Golzine. So, in this case since he knew that I knew you before we officially met he asked me to get to know you."
Ash muttered, "Stupid bastard. Not telling me anything."
"He's my Uncle, so also don't be surprised that I know him slightly more than you do. Though I also know that Blanca looks at you sort of like a son." I saw Ash was slightly appeased about that. "Now as for the night I left Ash… As Ash now knows I faked my death."
Ash glared then at me, "How the hell did you survive those shots to the back? All those bullets near your heart…" Eiji looked stunned to see me alive before his eyes now.
I smiled, "Blanca is an excellent marksman. His skill with a gun unparalleled." 'Course he's also a jerk.' I continued, "The bullets were soft so they would break the skin to make me bleed but not enough to go through serious muscles or strike to kill. And inside one of the soft bullets were a drug to make me pass out quickly so to not feel pain for long." Eiji interrupted. "How did you get away?"
"He was being sloppy since all he cared was getting Ash back into his grubby hands. He gathered Ash up and Blanca had gotten me to a faraway place to fix me up himself." I answered not entirely sure if I should be grateful for no hospital since the pain after hurt like hell. Ash coughed to get my attention.
"Yes?"
Ash looked at me with an interrogation look, "Ok. What were you doing this whole time? I know you were doing it for me, but what did you mean? If it's anything like what we were forced to do I wouldn't have wanted for you to…" I intercepted, "No! I love you, but I wouldn't go that far as to giving myself to another." 'Though if it was to save your life I would…' keeping my thoughts to myself.
He looked comforted, but still uneasy, "Then what were you doing that was so important for you to stay away for so long?"
It was my turn to become uneasy, "Would you guys believe me if I told you?"
Eiji comforted me with a gentle smile, "Of course."
"…Vampires." I said to let them absorb the word in for a moment. "I was with vampires, so I could become stronger, so I could protect Aslan and take him far from this place." I put my head down not wanting to look at their faces. I felt familiar arms around me.
I looked into Aslans jade eyes. "Are these friends of yours vampires?" I saw true curiosity and still a bit skepticism. After all I didn't expect this to be easy and Ash was as smart as any genius scientist.
I smiled. 'This might be fun for a minute', "Only one. My other friend is a werewolf." That threw the boys for a loop.
"Huh?!" I laughed.
"What? I'm telling the truth. If you need proof I can have them over here right now."
Eiji had the look of fear in his eyes, "They won't like eat us will they?" Ash stayed silent in disbelief.
I shook my head, "Of course not! But, I'll leave them to explain the vampire/werewolf stuff." I went to the wall to where my other apartment was and knocked, "Hey! Come on over! They want to meet you."
As quickly as I said that my Great-Gramps Jasper and friend Jacob appeared in front of me, Ash, and Eiji.
Ash instinctively reached for his gun. "What the hell?!"
Jasper seeing the gun changed his demeanor suddenly turning into a commander from both his human and vampire wars, "Put down your weapon boy." 'Oh shit, Ash doesn't take orders well.' But I admit that I was sort of enjoying the events happening before me.
I put my body in front of Ash, "It's okay Aslan, Jasper he may be a vampire, but he is also my Great-Grandpa from the civil war."
Eiji looked in wonder, "Great-grandfather?" He looked at Jacob and his muscles. "Are you the werewolf?"
Jacob grinned finally getting some screen time, "Yep, name's Jacob. It is nice to meet you Eiji." He put his hand out to shake Eiji's and Eiji felt more comforted that he wasn't a threat.
"How did you know my name?" Eiji asked. "Are you psychic too?"
Jacob snickered at that, "No, I just have really good hearing that's all."
Ash calmed taking that scene in and put his gun back into his pocket. He continued with looking at Jasper, "So, you're a vampire. Mind if I ask you for a demonstration?"
Jasper smirked, "Sure." And appeared behind Ash in less than a second twirling his gun. Ash's reflex kicked in to turn around and all he saw was the same smirk.
"Bastard." He muttered under his breath. I giggled, "I know right?" Afterward we all gathered at the table slightly more comfortable. Ash still on edge about being overpowered and complaining like a child being beaten at a game.
