Chapter 9
(A/N this is the last chapter… again I'm sorry for the wait and I'm sorry if its bad lol.)
Without further ado,
Chapter 9
………………………………………………………………..
"My…My Grandmother," Bella questioned in disbelief
"Yes I am your Greatest Grandmother. And I say greatest because I don't want to say all the greats. All this time I had been looking for a Wilson. Searching through generations of my daughters descendants. But when I saw you in that clearing I knew that somewhere along our family tree there was a mistake, that something had changed that I had missed. And then I found it six generations back. Teresa Wilson, my great great great granddaughter married Michael Johnson. Michael had a son and that's where my error took place. The son wasn't Teresa's. You see Teresa ran off with her lover Christopher, and Michael's son belonged to his mistress Rachelle. And off course back then no one would admit a child out of wedlock so they passed the child off as Teresa's. But Teresa now lived with Christopher Swan, and they had a daughter."
"But I still don't understand…why do you want my blood?"
"I also discovered that I had been wrong about my daughter. She wasn't as human as I thought she was. A single strand of vampire DNA ran through her veins. So far no descendant had been lucky enough to retrieve that strand… Until you."
"Me?"
"Yes you. Why else do you think that you are immune to vampire abilities? You are very special."
"I still don't understand. Why do you want my blood?"
"Yes a single DNA strand. Ethan's DNA. A vampire's DNA, mixed with human DNA, but not fused. With the ability to reverse the effects of the blood line."
"What are you talking about!!"
"You will see. Wait…No you won't. For you will be dead."

Edward and Emmett raced through the woods as fast as they could.
Almost there…just a little bit further, hang on Bella I'm coming.
……………………………………………………………………………….
The minute Bella was sure Mona had left she started pulling her hand out of the chains. Her wrist was too small and she was able to squeeze it through. Collapsing to the ground she pulled the needle out of her arm and stood on shaky legs.
I have to get out of here.
BPOV
It was dark. Dark and cold. So very, very cold. The cold felt like it was radiating from the walls. I'm in a tunnel. Some kind of dark tunnel. And I'm running. Running in the dark. I trip over the uneven ground, again and again. But still I run. My lungs are raw from my heavy breathing and my heart feels like it's about to burst out of my chest.
I put my hand on the wall to guide my way, but instantly pull it back. I can't see it, but I can feel it. Something wet covers the walls. Wet and smells like salt and rust. I have to keep going. I have to keep running.
I can see the light at the end. My whole body is weak. I can't go on. It hurts. My arm. Blood drips from my arm.
Blood trickles down my forehead. I want to stop. I want to sleep. Sleep for years and years. But I know if I stop now I won't ever wake up.
I can hear her coming after me.
I leave the tunnel behind and as I sprint into the pale light of the moon, the moonbeams shine off the inside of the walls. I already knew, but all the blood makes my head spin.
My world turns vertically and I'm on the ground. I try to get up but my body won't listen to me anymore. I lay in the soft bed of lilies and my mind grows foggy. The darkness seeps in around the edges and I feel my mind start to slip. But before it does I'm pulled back to the world by a horrible pain in my chest. I look up at blood red eyes. She smiles down at me and I know I'm about to die. I can't move, and the lilies drip red with my blood. Her smile grows as our eyes meet. She bends down, lifting her foot off of my chest. Her arms wrap around me and she pulls me closer to her. My neck is bare and waiting. She lets out a dark chuckle, her mouth coming closer and closer to my neck. I can feel her cold breath and it sends shivers coursing through my body. In my once again cloudy mind I'm surprised that I even have the strength to shiver. Her lips brush my collar bone and travel up my neck.
Finally her lips rest on my Adams apple, against my racing pulse.

EPOV
We make it too the clearing but I fear we are too late.
"Bella!" I scream as I walk across the field of lilies. The ones around her have turned a deep crimson.
It's blood. Her blood.
"Let her go Mona!" I scream as Emmett slowly makes his way behind her.
"No! Not after so many years! You don't understand, I can't go on anymore. Let me finish what I've started!"
"I won't let you hurt her!" I growl as I crouch down, ready to pounce.
"Mona," the voice is barely above a whisper.
"You still haven't told me…why do you need my blood?"
"So I can be free."
"I don't understand."
"You hold the key to my release from this hell. You share my DNA and Ethan's and my beautiful Elizabeth's. You have the power to save me. To reverse my DNA. To fix it. To make me human again. I've waited too many years… I want to see Ethan again; I want to see my daughter."
…………………………………………………….
Edward could not believe what was going on. Mona only wanted to be released. She wasn't a demented maniac. She was… a heartbroken mother and wife who wanted to be reunited with her family.
But he wasn't going to let Bella die to fulfill that dream.
"It's ok," Mona whispered as she brought her lips to the place where Bella's neck and shoulder met, "I don't need as much as I thought."
Then her sharp teeth pierced Bella's pale neck, and she drank Bella's blood.
…………………………………………….
"No!" Edward screamed as he dived for Bella. Emmett knocked Mona out of the way as Edward reached Bella.
"Bella! Bella its ok, I'm here."
"Edward there's too much blood."
"No you're going to be fine."
"That's not what I meant," Bella said as she sat up despite her dizziness from her continued blood loss, pressing down on the wound on the top of her shoulder, "are you sure you can handle all the blood."
"Your ok? But she bit you, the venom…"
"Has no effect… we share the same DNA… I'm fine; it's just a flesh wound."
Edward pulled Bella into the tightest embrace he could without hurting her. The smell of her blood not bothering him in the slightest. "Thank God… I was so sure that I was too late."
"Whoa!" Emmett called from where he was standing.
Bella and Edward looked up in time to see Mona's transformation.
Slowly but surely, she began to age, each year that she had never experienced as a vampire finally catching up with her.
"Mona!" Bella called as she staggered over to the now older women lying in the bed of lilies.
Mona looked up and met Bella's gaze. "I'm sorry… I just wanted to be free."
"It's ok."
Then Mona's eyes started to glaze at she looked at Bella again. "Elizabeth. Look at how you've grown. I've have missed you so much. So very much… Ethan is that you. Ethan…Ethan."
And then the now old, old women turned into dust and blew away on the night breeze.
"Come on," Edward whispered as he helped Bella up, "everyone's worried; let's head back to the Manor."
"Ok," Bella nodded as Edward led her into the trees. She got up onto his back and the last thing she saw before she was carried away, was the lilies, shinning in the light of the full moon. Some of them glowing crimson red. Blood Lilies.

EPILOGUE
Weeks later Bella sat in Edward's room, curled up on the couch with him. Carlisle had re-inspected the bite marks, making sure that there was no infection.
"I'm quiet surprised that the venom didn't effect you at all," he had remarked, "but how did you know it wouldn't?"
"I don't know…I just did."
Now everything had somehow gotten back to normal. Alice had regained her strength and Jasper was so happy that at this moment he was treating her to a shopping spree. Carlisle had decided to research more on the remarkable ability that Bella's blood had on Mona and Esme was out in the town buying food for dinner (of course all for Bella). Emmett and Rosalie were out camping so that left Edward and Bella by themselves.
"How are you feeling?" Edward asked as he pulled her back into his arms, keeping her protectively against his chest. His chin rested on her shoulder and he lightly kissed the healed bite marks.
"Alright. I was very proud of you, before, how you were able to ignore my blood and stay."
"I was rather pleased with myself as well," he responded, deeply breathing in Bella's delicious scent.
"I have been wondering though," Bella whispered softly.
"About what? About how a vampire invaded out family, tortured Alice, and me, with the idea of losing you. Then took you hostage just like who knows how many others before you and tried to kill you. Or about how you decided to let her have your blood and you now think of her as a good person."
"She wasn't really as bad as she seemed. She was just desperate to be reunited with her family. She had been alone for a long time, living with what she had done, until she came to the conclusion that she didn't care anymore…that she was going to do what it took to finally be released."
"You really have given this a lot of thought haven't you?" Edward questioned as he turned her around so she was cuddled into his chest.
"And other things… I also was thinking about Ethan and Mona… she was a girl who fell in love with a vampire. Just like me…and…"
Edward silenced her with a kiss, the sweetest kiss he had given her to date.
"We are not them Bella Swan. We won't suffer the same tragic fate that they did. We will survive…and we will always…be together."
Bella pulled him closer and Edward began humming her lullaby, while placing several kisses over her head and neck.
"We're going to be ok." Edward whispered.
"You know what I've also been thinking about?" Bella asked.
"No love what?"
Bella pulled back a little and met Edwards gave with a mischievous one of her own. "How you would be a great father."
"My God Bella we aren't even married yet and you're thinking about children. Not including the fact that children we could never have!"
"There's always adoption," Bella giggled as Edward nipped playfully at her ear.
"What am I going to do with you?" Edward joked as he pushed Bella onto the couch
"Love me," she said as she smiled up at him.
"Always," was his response.
And he leaned down and sealed it…with a kiss.
(A/N and I'm finally done!! Omg I can't believe it took me soooo long to finish this…neways I hope you review even if your terribly mad at me )
