The Diner

Chapter 11

The Truth

***NOTE: If I don't get 7 reviews I will gladly take my time uploading the next chapter, let alone, writing it. I will most likely not able to post for the next week due to me being out of state for my dear aunts wedding. (: I will be writing though, and I will gradually post the few chapters left of this beloved story. Yes, my readers, there is only a hand full of chapters left. Sad, yes I know. But I will make them extra long, and extremely juicy! This story has gradually grown close to my heart and I will be disappointed to have to let it go. ):****

Classes went by slowly, but since I never finished my senior year I was paying attention to anything I might have missed or forgotten. Sara, Hunter, Steph, and Jordan also didn't think to go back and finish high school, so they too, were paying close attention to the teachers and the lesson. It was first day was hard on my entire coven- we could not remember much of our school lessons during our human years. I had many classes with my coven and the Cullen's, which sadly included Edward. I was in English sitting with Alice, Emmett and Jasper sitting behind us. Emmett and I were talking rapidly in vampire speed, as to not be heard by nosey others. Suddenly I felt a piece of paper thrown at my head- it hurt considering it was thrown with vampire strength. I looked over, to see Sara-who was to across the room with Hunter- nodding her head for me to open the paper. I un-wrapped the paper and read the elegant script, Meet me in the bathroom. I have something to tell you. Leave three minutes after I do. –Sara. I turned to her as she was leaving and nodded my head as a confirmation.

Three minutes later I was in the disgusting girl's bathroom with Sara, who was fiddling with the hem of her black shirt. I waited for her to tell me the reason of following her into the foul restroom. I soon became inpatient with her look up-open mouth-close mouth-look down routine of trying to tell me something, and blurted,

"What do you want, Sara?"

"Well," she hesitated, but quickly began to speak after my glare. "I wanted to say that I am sorry that I never told you about your past." I was confused by what she said; I gave her a questioning look.

"I thought you said that it was all dark when you looked at my past?"

"Well," Sara paused. "I kind of lied about that; the truth is that I thought that your past was too much of you to handle. We had found you in the middle of the woods, with a bloody baby! I had thought you would go into some sort of shock and want to go after Merrick, for doing what he did. Then I also didn't want you going off to find Edward, to reconnect, and become part of the Cullen coven." Sara looked guiltily down at her feet, to ashamed to look Bella in the eye.

"I can't believe you. I can't believe you would do something like that." I said while I backed out of the bathroom. Sara looked even guiltier than before, if possible. I ran out of the bathroom and down the empty hallway. My head was spinning and my thoughts were in a whirlwind, when I was suddenly hauled into a vacant classroom. It was Aurora, who had pulled me into the room.

"Shouldn't you be looking for your two friends?" Aurora's voice reached an extremely high pitch as she asked her question.

"Oh, well we followed their scent to this abandoned house and it stopped a few feet out the back door." I told her. "We know that there were three people, their smells were unique." I self-consciously sniffed the air- the scent was there; one of the three scents that were in the house. Aurora had helped capture Dani and Joe.

"Why? Why did you take them?" I questioned. Her eyes became wild, a wicked smile slowly crept onto her face while she answered.

"I had too; I had to help and save him."

"Save who, exactly?" I asked gently.

"Merrick," Aurora replied in a dreamy voice. "Your friend Danielle was the last person to have contact with him. The two of them were trading, making a market of goods; mainly drugs and weapons." She continued before I could interrupt. "Merrick got the goods, Danielle sold them. Then Danielle found out- some how- that Merrick was the father of your half breed child," She said this with disgust, causing me to growl lowly. "And she got scared, for how that would affect the trades they were making, he communicated less, and the trades slowed when he found out that she knew. Danielle threatened to reveal his hide out to you if he didn't make any more deals with her."

"How many people knew about him?" I asked in complete annoyance.

"Just about everyone in your coven, except for you; even your own daughter knew. He visits her, you know; he's visiting her now." At that she began to giggle, a terrifying giggle. One that sent shivers up my spine. I had to get to my daughter I thought to myself. I grabbed Aurora's arm and dragged her to Sara's black Mustang GT, and buckled her into the seat. I sped over to Elizabeth's middle school and found her out in the parking lot; with Merrick. I jumped out of the car- Aurora at hand- and did a protective stance in front of my daughter.

"Can I help you?" I asked, venom dripping in my voice. If looks could kill, Merrick would be screwed.

"Ahhh, Isabella, babe," Merrick said, using the name, babe, that he would call me years ago.

"Go to Hell." I spit at him.

"Now, now, now, that's not the language I want around my daughter." He said; Merrick had always been controlling, but he can't control something he can't have. "Besides, I don't need her following in your footsteps, being the whore that you are." That pissed me off, so I tackled him. At least, I tried too; I was intercepted halfway by Aurora- whom I had completely forgotten about.

"Forget about me, Princess?" She said, like she read my mind, but I knew she couldn't. Just about every vampire could tell another's power, and Aurora had none. Merrick's power was that his eyes would glow an eerie green and he could tell you what to believe and do. I called it the Believer, while others call it mind control. Aurora let go of my arm, only to hold both of them behind my back.

"Normally I would ask you what you've been up to, but I already know all of that." He laughed, Aurora joining along, her eerie giggle pierced my ears. Again, as I said before, if looks could kill….

"Fucker," I said. Apparently Merrick didn't approve of my aggressive behavior, because he quickly grabbed Elizabeth in a tight grip. That, of course, caused my anger to risen, making me pull against Aurora's firm grip, and to bare my teeth. Then suddenly I felt a sharp blown at the base of my head and everything went black.

Finish.

A/N: I don't know if vampires can get knocked out or not, but who cares: it's Fanfiction, and vampires aren't real. If you have a problem with the last part or any of my story in general you can go fuck yourself. (: Have a nice day.
