A/N: Hey!! So, the big reveal of Bella's past is coming up! Well, soon-ish. I'm still not entirely sure how to word everything correctly, so I guess we'll just see where this takes us. ENJOY!!

Disclaimer: As dumb as I think doing this disclaimer thingy at the beginning of every chapter is, I feel that, to keep masked FBI agents from tackling me out of bed or to keep crazed ninjas from following me around, I must say that I am not SM..although I am VERY jealous of her amazing eloquence. I am also not in a band, no matter how hard I wish, so these songs cannot possibly be my doing. =]

BPOV:

Introspectively , I stroked the guitar chords, teasing them into different avenues. I had much on my mind. I knew that Edward and the others could see the images I was bringing to mind, I just had no idea how. Poor Jasper, our favorite empath was sure to be having a rough time, what with these crazy emotions running scattered about all over the place. Currently, I was worried about the fight. I was tired of running from them. I honestly thought they would have given up years ago, but no, these particular hunters were tenacious. Personally, I think it was no longer a "business transaction" to them. Still, however silly and childish they were behaving, they were also very lethal. I just could not bring my family into this. Yes, I had moved on. I decided holding grudges was just not in my nature. Having this new attitude towards my family, I simply refused to lose them, or to have them witness my demise. Surely there was no other way. I only wanted to hold him again....

EPOV:

I felt, rather than heard, Bella make her way back to the house from the woods. I am so relieved she came back. Still feeling a bit ill tempered, I opened the door right before she touched the handle. She offered no surprise, and indeed seemed downtrodden, as she crossed the threshold.

"Decided to come back after all?", I asked her, a bit more cruelly than I intended. The look I got in return quite nearly broke my dead heart. Clearing her throat she spoke in a whisper, but not only to me."Can I see everyone in the family room for a little while, please? I have alot of explaining to do...".

APOV:

After hearing Bella's near silent whisper, I had a sudden vision. Bella, crouched over a fairly portly man, half naked and snarling into the night, her blood red eyes glowing strangely through the night.

"Oh Bella...".

A/N: So, I decided to break this up into two chapters. I may very well finish this story tonight... hmmmmm.. =]
