AN: Hi again everyone! As I have said in previous chapters I'm leaving for Florida on June 20th and while I'm there I will NOT have access to a computer. :( Well, to solve that problem (for this story at least) I'm going to speed type so that this story is completely finished. Well, on with the story.

Disclaimer: Again, I own nothing but the idea.

Chapter 9: The Monster Within

The next day, Renee and I had caught up on absolutely everything. Then the Cullen's started to tell her everything about their way of life. I just sat to the side and waited. Then Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie took her hunting.

I paced back and forth. I had a terrible feeling that something was going to go wrong. But what? Edward tried to calm me, as did Jasper, but it did no good. Emmett eventually pulled out a random board game and forced me to play with him. Great…

For about five minutes everything was semi normal. Then suddenly, I got a splitting headache. I groaned and held my head. I was vaguely aware of the others yelling to me, trying to figure out what was wrong.

I closed my eyes and an image appeared. Renee was running wildly, madly. Then a city came into view. I quickly recognized it as Seattle. Then a small girl appeared. She could only be 8 or 9 years old. Renee leapt at her and I screamed.

I snapped by eyes back open and found Edward leaning over me while the rest huddled around. "Bella, Bella calm down. Please. Sh… it's okay Bella." I stopped screaming and began to tremble.

"No it's not," I said in a shaky voice. "Renee is killing humans again. Edward how could she?"

"Bella, you don't know that. Everything is fine."

"No Edward, I saw it. I have to find them." I stood up and the rest looked at one another, thoroughly confused. I took off, running towards Seattle.

When I arrived, I saw the small girl from my vision. Her body was drained of blood and had been discarded on the sidewalk. I quickly spotted another person in the same condition a few blocks down. I listened for a minute and could hear a scream about a mile away. I ran towards the scream, passing multiple discarded bodies. When I arrived, I saw Renee tossing the now dead woman aside.

"Mom," I whispered. "How could you?"

She looked at me, a wild look in her eyes. Her voice was filled with hate. "Because Bella, when did you ever tell me the truth? You told me the Cullen's were just a normal family, and that it was just a crush. You told me that your life was fine. You faked your own death!

"All of your lies made me good at lying. That's my power. I can lie and you will believe anything that I saw. If you can do all of that, then I can do what I want. Your life was taken. These people were all living their happy lives. If I never got to live my life, then why should they?"



I stared at her in shock. How could she do this? Why was that her excuse? "Why mom? You want to know why I lied as much as I did. I wanted to become a vampire, just not the way I did. The Cullens' secret was not mine to tell. Why are you killing them all? Especially the 8 year old? They never did anything to spite you! You are a monster mom. A monster!"

I stared at my mother, at the monster I could now see she was. The monster within her was unleashed, and now I had to make a decision; a decision I never thought I would have to make.
