A/N

Double update! I just started typing and it all really just came together!

I hope this clears up some of the questions I had with Charlotte, Peter, and the others helping the Cullen's and so on.

Thanks for all the reviews!

Chapter 10

I finally finish our story and look around at the others surrounding us. Peter and Charlotte have their hands clinched, and even though they knew most of my past, I know hearing me talk about it more has really ticked them off. Rosalie and Emmett are both growling low and I'm pretty curious as to why since they also left along with the Cullen's. Poor Parker looks confused as ever, and I'm sure she is shocked to know that I knew of her father and her family before I arrived. I'm sure Edward never mentioned me to his mate or child.

All of the Amazon's eyes are pitch black, I know what Edward had said to me will be a serious crime to them, along with leaving Victoria alive after doing away with James. They know what happens to the other mate when their partner had been killed.

Esme's eyes are glassy, and I know if she could cry, she would be right now but when I look at Carlisle and Edward, their faces are blank, no emotion what so every. That infuriates me as I know the two are more to blame than any of the other Cullen's.

Tanya is gripping my hand tightly and she is shaking slightly while she is glaring at Edward. I'm not sure what all Irina had informed them off, I'm sure Victoria and my parents were included, but I have a feeling she didn't know exactly what Edward had said to me that night in the woods, or how involved they were with my past.

Leah and Seth are shaking also, and I know it's taking everything in them not to shift while Irina and Bree comfort them. Leah is glaring at Carlisle and Edward and I know she wants her chance at them again. Sue and Charlie are never far from their mind.

The rest of the Denali coven are glaring at Carlisle and Edward also, while Eleazar shakes his head at his old friend. To him, even telling a human of the vampires existence with intolerable. He tries to stay within the laws of the Volturi, as the laws were made for this very reason. Telling a human who is not your mate is one of their top laws, especially to keep our existence away from humans. Carmen is a very peaceful vampire, and anyone that would intentionally hurt a young girl was beyond her.

Kate was a female warrior in her human life, and treating any woman like will make her want to rip Edwards head off his shoulders and of course Irina was beyond livid at hearing her mates past again.

I look over toward Rosalie as she begins to speak again.

"Bella, I am deeply sorry for what happened to Charlie and Sue. I know that can't mean much to you right now, but that's all I can offer. Jasper and I both told Carlisle that Victoria posed a huge problem and would be out for blood, but for some reason he was convinced that Victoria would go after Edward and our family, never you. I thought differently and I should have stayed or at least came back to check on you, Emmett wanted to many times, but I couldn't abandon the family that took me in. I am here for you now though, and will back you in any decision you make" Rosalie breathed out.

I am a little taken back how sad and affected she looks when she used to be what many dubbed as the ice queen, but I can see that is the image she wants outsiders to have of her. She never liked many people around her.

"I'm sorry too Bella Bear, I should have been there for you. I should have gone after Victoria myself. Me and Jasper almost did but Carlisle had us convinced she wouldn't go after you and we wanted to be near our mates in case she did come after us. We can't bring them back from the dead, but I won't be part of the Cullen family anymore. I shouldn't have been when I realized they could just abandon family like that. Where you go, we go. Right Rose?" Emmett chimed in.

She nods her head while she gives me a small smile. Parker is beaming at the two. She really is a cute kid, regardless of who fathered her.

"You can't!" Esme gasps out while clutching her chest.

"Please, you can't leave us. I know you both are upset, as am I, I had no idea Carlisle had been warned about Victoria, and I didn't know what Edward had said to Bella when we left. Truth be told, I thought maybe she had wanted us to leave since she never came by the house after her birthday party fiasco, but I see now I was just being naive, but you can't leave the family. You are my daughter and my son" Esme pleads.

Rosalie just shakes her head at Esme and looks away from her, as does Emmett. We all know once Rosalie has made a decision, she will stick with it.

I feel bad for Esme, but I can't say I blame either of them. Who wants to be part of a coven that lies and are that deceitful?

"We are only here because of Jasper. Honestly, we could care less if the lot of you were done away with, well, besides Rosalie and Emmett who we have come to care for while here. Especially when Bella joined us here, we won't abandon her, but you Edward and Carlisle, you can both burn." Charlotte hisses out.

Tanya is still really tense next to me and her eyes haven't moved away from Edward once. I'm curious as to what is running through her head right now as Edward is eyeing her in fear.

The Amazons step up in sync and move to stand by Charlotte and Peter against the wall behind us.

"I don't know why you didn't tell us about the Cullen's Bella, especially when they came up in conversation, but we will not abide by their actions. We would not have come if we knew this is how you treat those you call family. We will stay for Bella and her family, but we are no longer here for you Carlisle, after we leave, we cut our ties with you" Zafrina spat out.

The rest of her coven nods while they glare at Carlisle.

"I'm sure if the other covens that you have invited knew what you did to Bella, they too, would not agree. While they do not know Bella, I'm sure how you treated her would not sit well with them. We thought you to be compassionate and friendly man, but obviously we were wrong. What man could possibly harm a young woman, and there is no way you didn't know what Edward had planned for Bella. You are just in the wrong as he is" Senna adds.

Edward and Carlisle are still just sitting there stiff as a board. Edward hasn't lost eye contact with Tanya and Carlisle is just looking around at everyone nervously. I'm surprised he hasn't stepped in yet as everyone is coming down hard on him. He normally has way more to say, especially when it comes to justifying himself and his favorite child.

I look between Edward and Tanya again. Finally one moves.

Edward jumps up and starts to flee the house as Tanya growls out and follows. I blink in shock as I follow them out. What in the heck?

Tanya catches up with Edward and grabs his shoulder hard throwing him to the ground as she glares down at Edward. He has his hands up trying to calm Tanya down but everyone can see that's not working as she holds him down with her foot on his chest. Carlisle has now run out of the house and is trying to get to Edward but I stop him, grabbing on to his shoulder and forcing him to his knees, holding him still.

"You are every bit of the asshole I always knew you were. I just thought you were a prude and stuck in your generation of men, but you are just a man trying to power over any woman. You can't stand it, can you Edward? You knowing that someone is better than you, and that someone being female. You just had to degrade her, and hit every one of her insecurities, destroying the girl she was. She had done nothing but love you and your family, and I honestly have no idea why. None of you deserved it!" Tanya hisses out.

She is really attractive right now and if it wasn't for all the tension in the air I'm pretty sure I would march up to her, grab her, and run away for some privacy away from all these other eyes. I see Leah smirk at me as I'm sure she smells my arousal, and I just roll my eyes.

She is trembling in anger; eyes pitch black, as the wind blows her long hair out of her face. She really could be my avenging angel, and I'm more grateful now that I have met her, especially with having to deal with the Cullen's.

"You don't deserve to live Edward, especially not with your new mate. You don't deserve to have a perfect child you don't even care for, that you didn't even want. All you deserve is death, and I for one hope the Volturi give it to you! If I didn't think they already knew who was here, I'd pack up my coven and we would leave you to them! It's too late for that though, as I'm sure they believe we are all here for a fight."

She bends down and punches Edward in the face causing cracks to appear in his cheeks. Dang, she can hit hard. She does it again several times as she releases her anger.

"I'm going to do you and your family a favor" she continues with a certain gleam in her eye.

She bends down and tears Edwards legs off, throwing them into the woods faster than I believed she could move. Edward screams as Carlisle struggles below me, Esme just shaking her head at her eldest child, not daring to move towards him.

"Now you can't run again, from any part of your family. Now you have to stay and face every demon you have created and every action you have committed. When the Volturi arrive, I will make it clear I want nothing to do with you and your family. Hopefully we can leave in peace and you get what you finally deserve" she snarls out as she releases him.

She finally straightens up and looks over at the crowd that has now arrived behind her. I'm not concerned with the Irish and Egyptian coven showing up and watching the events that are going on, or even a new vampire who I'm guessing has just shown up, all I'm concerned about is Tanya and calming her down. I can't even be angry right now as she defended me so well, plus watching her is truly magnificent.

"I don't care what the rest of you decide to do, but I cannot stand by this family any longer. I shouldn't have come in the first place knowing what little I had already known about Bella and her past with you, but my coven will not be helping or what was it you called it Carlisle? Witnessing, we will not be witnessing for your purpose anymore. I know Rosalie can protect Parker and somehow convince Aro to leave her be but I'm not so sure he won't punish you for your crimes. I can also promise you this, I will do everything in my power to protect Bella, and if that means leaving before the Volturi arrive, then we will. You have dug your own grave Carlisle, and burned many bridges" Tanya finishes as she glances over to me and nods towards the forest and runs off.

I toss Carlisle in Leah's direction as I follow and try to catch up with Tanya. I know she needs to get as far away as she can right now, and I'm going to do everything I can to calm her down.
