"Watch what you do. And don't lie to us." Emmett said threateningly.
"What the HELL is going ON?!?!?"
I walked up to the cullens and who I guess were the clan from Denali. I guess that in my hast to find Sarah's creator, I forgot that the cullens would be here. It was very rare that I ever forgot about the cullens. Something must be happening in the near future.
"What's going on?" I asked more politely. Although I knew what was happening I still wanted to know why it was happening.
"B…..Bella?" Alice stuttered. I smiled warmly at her.
"Yes, Alice?"
"OH BELLA!!!!" Alice ran up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I noticed a few guards walking in our direction to remove Alice. I slowly shook my head at them and they backed off.
"Hey, Alice. It's nice to see you too." I was surprising my self by being this nice. It was nice to see her again. And yet I knew that once they left I would be in worst shape than before. No matter how many people I kill or how many lies I tell to other people and myself, I will always love the cullens. I struggled to get her off of me, only because I didn't want to hurt her. I guess Jasper saw my struggles because he stepped up and untangled Alice's arms from around my neck.
"Thanks." I whispered to him while rubbing my neck.
"Bella." Emmett said hoarsely. He appeared next to me in a second and lifted me up into a giant bear hug. "How's my favorite human?!?!?!"
"Not…..so human…..any…more." I chocked out. "Can't…..breathe." I tried to tell him but he wasn't paying attention. I looked at some of the guards and slowly nodded my head as much as I could. They rushed over to me and threw Emmett off and onto the ballroom floor. I gulped as much air as I could. Although I didn't need it, I still couldn't talk without it. So in a way I did.
"Hello Carlisle, Esme." I said as I nodded in their direction. "Can you please tell me what was going on here?"
"Well, Victoria was just saying some things that got us angry. She was provoking Edward and that provoked us. You know, since we're family." Esme told me as she stared at me curiously.
"And what was she saying?"
"She was just saying how you were very close to her. And we didn't like her lying about her relationship with you just so she wouldn't get what she deserves." Carlisle replied this time.
"And what does she deserve?" I asked politely. I was trying to hold back my laughter.
"She deserves to rot in hell." Edward snarled at her. I noticed how he hadn't said anything throughout the whole conversation.
"Is this true?" I turned to look at Tori.
"Well, yes. But I wasn't provoking the little boy. I was just stating the facts. And I don't think I deserve to rot in hell, as the boy puts it. I think that being forced to vacation there once a year is enough." she said. Tori and I had always called Volterra hell when we would be forced to come visit by Aro.
I turned and looked into Edward's black eyes. When they met mine they immediately turned gold. Then I remembered what Sarah had said about her creator.
Flashback
"But then some strange man that was beautiful but older with gold eyes came in."
End Flashback
I ran up to the front of the ballroom and cleared my throat loudly. Everyone turned to face me. I saw a look of curiosity on Aro's face. I smiled slightly to him.
"I have narrowed down our search. If you were a 'vegetarian' in the 1930's, then please come see me. If you don't, then I'll be sure to find you." I ended in a threatening voice. "Thank you." I ended in an extremely hyper voice. I looked and saw that most of the people had relaxed.
I walked back over to Tori and the cullens. "Tori, let's go find Sarah. Maybe she recognizes someone." I grabbed her arm and walked away.
EPOV
"Tori, let's go find Sarah. Maybe she recognizes someone." Bella said as she pulled Victoria away.
"Wow." Jasper whispered.
"Who would've known?!?!" Emmett laugh quietly to himself.
"Tori obviously did." Alice said bitterly.
"I knew she was trouble from the very start." Rosalie said with her nose in the air. I growled softly.
"I can't believe it's really Bella. She seems so different now." Esme said softly.
"She sure is. She has an air of power around her." Carlisle said to himself in a daze.
"I wonder what she does. I know she has a business, but what is it?" Emmett asked to himself.
"What does she DO?!?!?!?" a voice from behind us. We all turned to see Jane with a look of pure shock. "She's basically the world's best hit man. A damn good one at that. She scares people like us so much that our dead hearts BEAT when we get on the wrong end of her business." For the first time since I've met Jane she looked truly scared. She quickly turned around and walked away before we could ask her any questions.
BPOV
I laughed quietly to myself at what Jane said. I knew people talked about me behind my back. I just didn't know what they said. I didn't know Jane thought that way about me. I make their dead hearts beat. That's crazy.
"When did Sarah leave? I left her with her." I asked Tori.
"I don't know. I was too busy trying to figure out what in the world you were doing, to pay attention to her." Tori grabbed my arm and stopped me. I turned around to face her with curiosity showing on my face. "What were you doing?"
"Remember when Sarah said that the man who pulled the boy off of her had gold eyes? That means that he was a 'vegetarian'. So that limits our search." I continued to look for Sarah while I said this.
"Well, I know a few 'vegetarians'." Tori stated with an evil smirk.
"Who?" I demanded. If she knew then why wouldn't she speak up earlier.
"Think about it." she said simply.
"JUST TELL ME!!!" I screamed at her.
"THE CULLENS." she yelled back. "THE FUCKIN' CULLENS!!!!"
I stood there gaping at her. "Wh…….what?" I asked after I gained back my composer.
"The Cullens. Wasn't Carlisle and Edward 'vegetarians' back then?" she replied quietly. "It all fits from what you've told me about them."
"No. We don't have time for this right now. We have to find Sarah first. You're wrong. I know it." I turned and walked away from her. The was no way that Edward would have done that. And to even think that Carlisle would be involved with something like this was just ludicrous. Besides Edward would have told me.
But he didn't love you. So why would he?
He didn't love me. So he didn't have a reason to tell me. But what about Carlisle?
He never trusted you. Why should he have? You were just a stupid human.
I was just a human. All I did was endanger their existence. Nothing but a danger magnet. Even now.
Yes. You're nothing but trouble. Waltzing into people's lives and ruining them. You made Tori lose James. You also made Irina lose Laurent. You destroy people's lives. You take away their happiness.
But I didn't mean too. I didn't know.
You didn't have to know. But that still doesn't change anything.
I don't have time for this. I started looking for Sarah again.
"Hey, Demetri. Have you seen Sarah?" I asked as I walked up to him.
"No. Sorry. But hey, I think that you should go to Aro. He can help with your search. He knows a few who feasted on veggies in the 1930's." he said trying to be helpful.
"Thanks. Tori knows a few too." I mumbled bitterly. I was still troubled about her theory about Edward and Carlisle.
"Yeah, I heard. Well, actually. I think everyone in here heard. She said it pretty loudly." she said with a small laugh.
"Yeah, I know. But I have to find Sarah first. Then I can deal with that. I don't have time right now for her prejudice against the Cullens." I told him while walking away. "If you see Sarah, can you tell her I'm looking for her?" I called over my shoulder.
"Will do." he yelled after me.
"Thanks."
After looking for Sarah for a few minutes I decided to change. I walked back to my room and took off the dress and shoes. I threw on a pair of tight dark wash jeans and a light blue halter top. I put on a pair of boots under my jeans and threw my hair in a high ponytail. I slowly made my way back to the Grand Staircase to go to the ballroom. Some guards opened the door for me. I politely thanked them and walked down the stairs. I didn't fail to notice that a lot of eyes were on me.
When I reached the last step my mind was set on finding Sarah.
"Bella." I turned to see Sarah running towards me. "I know who bit me!"
"Who?!?!?!!" I asked excitedly. I wanted to know just as badly so I could prove Tori wrong.
"Him." she pointed her finger behind me. As I turned I noticed now that everyone in the ballroom was looking behind me also. I turned to see her pointing at none other than Edward Cullen who was ten feet away.
