Previously: "Isa my mate are you sure you're alright? Marcus, Chels, Jasper and Rose asked Isa"

"Yeah I'm alright it just feels weird to have finally gotten revenge for my parents, I just don't know what to do with all this left over hatred towards the Volturi I mean it's not like I can walk up to them and kill them for what they did that would just make me just as bad as them. Isa explained"

"Isa I know that you really want to kill the Volturi for what they have done to you but to so you could easily lose yourself while getting revenge. We can't lose you Isa if we did it would kill us. Jaz said"

"Isa why do you use your hatred for the Volturi for something good like training or other things? Roza asked"

"Yeah I guess. I just need some time I'm gonna go for a run I'll be back later and I'll be careful. Isa said"

"Mum, Mama would you like some company? Lizzy, Lexi, Renesmee, Jay, Emily, Tyler and Ty asked"

"No thank you I need to be on my own for awhile. Isa said"

"Ok well enjoy your run. Chels said"

"Yeah mum really is beautiful in her panther form just wait until you see her in her wolf form mum is even more beautiful in her wolf form. Renesmee said"

"Can Isa really shape-shift into any animal form that Isa want's to? Emmett asked"

"Yeah mum can. Mum is probably one of the most powerful shifter's in the world. Ty said"

"What do you mean? Jaz asked"

"Well mum has a gift that mum calls a sponge so mum can get any power mum want's. Lexi explained"

"Ah. Why don't we take this conversation inside so we can be more comfortable. Esme suggested"

"Si. Everyone said"

"So why don't we take turns getting to know each other. Chels suggested"

"What a good idea Chelsea. Esme said"

"Well I'll go first. Esme said"

(A/N: In this story Esme didn't get married and she has a past similar to Roza and Isa.)

"Well as you know my name is Esme. I was born in Texas in 1896, I was born into a family of five. I had two sister's and a little brother, their names were Jake, Anna and Annabelle. Myself and Belle were twins we did everything together. Our parents names were Austin and Isabelle they married young at the age of twenty, they were high school sweethearts and they did everything together.

By the time my little brother Jake was born we were living in a beautiful country home, as we grew up our mother home school us while our father was at work. He worked for a family with the last name of Platt. My father's boss had a son that was the same age as my sister Anna and my father and his boss had an arrangement that when Anna come of age that she would marry his son.

My fathers boss's name was Jackson and his sons name was James. When Anna was 16 James started to court her, he would take her on horse rides and send her flowers. It was just nearing Anna's 18th birthday when James and Anna got engaged Our mother, Belle, Anna and I were really excited.

On the night before Anna's wedding I was out in the garden picking some spices for dinner when suddenly James jumped out of no where and knocked me over. He had managed to land perfectly on top of me when I asked him what he was doing he said that he was doing what I wanted him to do. It was then that I realized that he was going to rape me.

I started to struggle but he tied me hands and feet he also stuffed a gag into my mouth so I couldn't scream it was then he started to strip me of my clothes and preceded to rape me after he was finished he spat in my face and said that I was only worth to be used as someones slave to be fucked and abused he then ran off after he was gone I got up and stumbled to the cliff near the bottom of our garden and I jumped.

But what I didn't realize or notice was that my sister Belle saw the whole thing and while I was jumping she had run inside to get our parents by the time I got to the hospital I was pronounced dead it was after being put in the morgue that Carlisle found me and changed me.

After I had woken from the change Carlisle and Edward explained to me what had happened and what I now was it was after a month of controlling my thirst that I went after James and killed him.

It was about 7 years before we moved to New York and found Roza. It was then about 50 years before Emmett, Jaz and Alice joined our family. Then we moved here to Forks and found Isa. Esme finished telling her story"

"Woa Esme were so sorry for what you had to go through. Peter, Charlotte, Marcus, Chels, Jane, Alec, Lizzy, Lexi, Renesmee, Jay, Emily, Tyler and Ty said"

"Thanks guys. So who's next? Esme said/ asked"

"I will. Edward said"

"As you all know my name is Edward. I was born in Chicago in 1901 to two loving parents whose names where Edward Sr and Elisabeth Masen. I grew up in a home of privilege where I didn't have do to anything for myself. By mother home schooled me as well as taught me manners and how to be a gentle man.

My father Edward Sr was a very busy business man who traveled a lot but when he was home he would take me aside and teach me all about business. It was seventeen years after my birth when my father became sick with the Spanish Influenza he had only recently died when my mother and I became sick as well my mother and I were in hospital when we were assigned Carlisle as our doctor.

Carlisle had always told me that before my mother passed away she begged Carlisle to do everything in his power to save me so after he had transported my mother to the morgue Carlisle came back to me and bit me.

When I woke up I was in Carlisle's home it was then that Carlisle explained to me what I had became and what my mothers last words were. After I had gotten over the shock I realized that I could read his thoughts when I told him he automatically started to hide his thoughts back then I just thought that he did that to make me more comfortable but after hear about his past I knew it wasn't that he just didn't want me to know about what he had done

Over the next 17 years we traveled from town to town before we settled in Texas it was about five years after we had moved to Texas that Carlisle came home with a changing Esme.

When Carlisle told me what had happened to Esme and that she was his mate I helped him set up the house to be newborn safe. When Esme woke up I was blasted with her thoughts of her last human hour.

As Esme has all ready told you she went after her rapist and killed him then we moved to New York and we were there for about five years when one night Carlisle came home carrying a changing Rosalie Hale.

While Roza was changing Carlisle and I got into a fight about why he had started changing Roza it was then that he told me about how he found her. Three days later Carlisle, Esme and I were waiting for Roza to open her eyes when she did she attacked both Carlisle and I because we were both males.

It was then that I heard in her thoughts about her final moments as human that I stopped trying to control her I just let her attack me once Rose had finally calmed down Carlisle and I explained to her what she had become. It was about two months after Rose was changed that she disappeared for three hours it was when she got back that we found out where she had been.

I'll let Rose tell you where she went when she tells her story. It was 50 years later that Emmett, Alice and Jasper turned up asking which room they could move into that I found my mates in them.

It was another 50 years before we moved here and now we are here with more members joining our family. Edward said after finishing his story"

"Woa that's a lot to go through. Peter, Charlotte, Marcus, Chels, Jane, Alec, Lizzy, Lexi, Renesmee, Jay, Emily, Tyler and Ty said"

"Yeah. So who's next? Edward asked"

"I'll go next. Emmett said"

"As you all know my name is Emmett is was born in Tennessee to a family of four I had a big brother and a big sister and two parents. Whose names were Jack, Jessica, Jay and Annie. My siblings and I were home schooled our mother while our father worked on the rail ways.

It was ten years after I had turned 8 that my parents were killed in a car accident, my siblings were older enough to look after me so while my brother Jay worked at the rail ways my sister Annie finished home schooling me.

It was just after my eighteenth birthday I was out hunting when I was attacked by a grizzly bear. This was how Alice and Jasper found me half dead Jasper bit me to start my change when I woke up three days later Jasper and Alice explained to me what I had become.

We spent the next 50 years exploring the world before Alice had a vision of us going to Denali, Alaska and joining the Cullen coven so we traveled to Denali and here we are almost 30 years later. Emmett said while finishing his story"

"Woa. Peter, Charlotte, Marcus, Chels, Jane, Alec, Lizzy, Lexi, Renesmee, Jay, Emily, Tyler and Ty said"

"Yeah that was what I said when they told me I was a vampire. So who's going to go next? Emmett said/ asked"

"I will. Then Jasper will go after me. Alice said"
