Chapter Ten

In light of all of my deductions being nothing more than just a theory I had to ask Carlisle what he had mean about what he had said about different personalities. It can't be a coincidence that Alice was being controlled by Robin and that Robin was in Carter's mind, I told myself.

"Bella, are you okay?" Carlisle asked me as we made our way into the living room.

"I'm fine, but I need to ask you about werewolves like Carter." I told him. He motioned for Jake and me to sit, but I stood. "You told Sam yesterday that wolves made like Carter often developed different personalities when they transformed, right?" He nodded his head and I continued. "How does that work?"

"It's a parasite of sorts that takes over during the transformation that forces the victim to kill and spread it," he explained.

"But it didn't happen to him," Jake interrupted. Rosalie growled a little, and I felt like everything was normal again.

"Yes, than that would mean that he's repressing it somehow," he sighed. Then asked me, "Why do you need to know?"

I was about to answer when Emmet and Rosalie answered for me.

"Because, she thinks that Carter and Robin are one in the same." they said in a zombie-lie monotone.

"Yes and you would be right." Esmé and Edward stated in the same zombie-voice. I scooted away from them and closer to Jake. This was getting weird. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Carlisle stood and made his way for it.

"Who could that be?" I whispered to Jake.

"Probably a new victim," he huffed. I was about to tell him that the Cullens didn't do that when Edward interrupted.

"Actually it's a guest that's been dying to meet you, Bella." He snickered. That wasn't Edward, because Edward didn't snicker. A loud growl rose from jakes throat and I looked to the door to see someone I wasn't expecting.

Sam stared down the wolf-man before him with awe and a little bit of fear. He knew that Carter was the one that they had put in there, but the one in front of him wasn't. It didn't feel like the one that had been in all of their minds for the past two days.

That's because I'm not

"Then who are you?" Leah growled. Instead of answering her he lunged and smashed her against a large tree trunk. Behind him immediately to back her up were Paul and Embry, but they were quickly thrown far away.

You may call me Robin.

Robin head butted Leah and then ran for Sam, but he was too quick. Sam knew that he would need to get away somehow and quickly phased back to his human form behind a tree. He knew that his mind was safe as long as he didn't daydream. He knew that he had to be quiet or he would be heard. I have to go get the others, he thought running through the woods.

Too bad you won't get there in time

Sam phased back as quickly as he could, but Robin's large, clawed paws still did their maximum damage on his ribs.

I looked back and forth at Edward and the guest in shock. I had seen him in one of Carter's dreams one night, and faster than I could blink I found his name form at my lips.

"Jonas," I grunted as he entered the living room with his entourage. Their names I also suddenly remembered. "Roxx, Manny, and Shizuka."

Jonas sat on a chair and stared at me expectantly. His little group tried to stay poker faced, but I could see the same look on their fasces as the one when I first met Edward. Remembering Edward I felt a wave of betrayal wash over me. I was about to ask what was going on when I noticed that Jake had stopped growling. As a matter of fact he looked completely at ease.

"Surprised aren't you?" Jonas asked with a twinge of amusement in his voice. "I can tell you're wondering why we're here."

I nodded, trying to keep myself under control. If I lost it then I would feel like a damsel in distress and even if I was I didn't want the reminder.

"Why, we're here for you, Bella." He chuckled waving his hand. "All of this was for you."

"Jonas, why are you explaining this to her?" Roxx demanded. "Why can't we just feed?"

"I don't want the poor girl to die without knowing how or why," Jonas said in mock patience. He turned back to me, "you see, 'Carter' is working for us if you will. When we found him interestingly enough his Human mind and Wolf mind were one and the same. After a while I decided that I needed to find out why this was, so I liberated Robin. It's a gift I have; I can make hidden qualities, emotions, or otherwise become public. It doesn't seem to work n you though, but I digress.

"After talking to him I figured that Carter's mind reading gift allowed him to repress Robin. So I made him a deal, if he could find me," he paused and motioned to his coven. "And mine one hundred gifted humans I would make him the dominant personality, and free him."

"Which one am I?" I demanded feeling the bravery inside me rise. Jonas began to chuckle evilly and Shizuka looked sadly at her feet.

"You're lucky number one hundred."
