A/N: Thank you so much for your comments! Please keep the reviews coming. I am not sure how long this story is going to be because I keep adding chapters when I get overexcited. I think it will be longer than the first story but probably not as long as the second one. We'll see;-)

Cameron

When I woke up from my terrible dream that morning, Billie was already gone. I was shaking. I tried not to make noise because I felt the tears in my eyes. I knew I would start crying soon and they would all hear it. I ran to the bathroom and turned on the shower and some music before I let myself cry. I cried for what seemed like hours. I felt angry and betrayed by these strangers and by my own powers for not warning me about them.

They all lied to me. My mom wasn't asked to become human. She was forced to. They were going to kill my mother! They did kill her! My mother would still be alive if they hadn't taken her ability to turn into a wolf. My own aunt and cousins exiled her and left her to die alone as a defenseless human. And my mother… There was so much anger inside her. So much pain. It was as if she was a completely different person but at the same time, it was her. I could feel her pain and her anger brewing inside me with my own… It was all too much! I didn't want to be here anymore. I didn't want to be anywhere near them but I didn't know how to escape.

My dirty clothes had been cleaned folded on the side table when I came out. I changed my clothes and went downstairs to find almost everyone in the dining room having breakfast. As soon as I saw them, I felt my body tense with anger and distrust. There was a massive table full of food. Bella was setting up more food for them, smiling as if nothing was wrong. Jamie was happily chatting with Chris and Edward. Chris… I had forgotten about him. He was a liar too and it pained me because I liked him so much.

Nobody knew what I had just seen. Nobody realized that I knew what they did to my mother. That they all stood by to watch as Sarah and her family deloused my mother. Why did I ever trust them? Why did I ever think that they wouldn't hurt me? They already hurt me more than anyone on this planet because they took the one person on this world who loved more than anything else, my mother.

I sat at the table between Chris and Jaime. He was talking to Edward who was sitting at Jamie's other side. I could see the change in attitude with one look at Jamie's eyes. He liked them. He didn't know that they were liars. Chris quickly put a plate of pancakes in front of me.

"I saved these for you. Eat them before the wolves get 'em." Chris warned me. They were chocolate chip pancakes. My favorite but I couldn't even taste them. I just chewed mechanically as I looked down to my plate trying not to make eye contact. Jaime rubbed my back when I started eating as if he could sense something was wrong.

"Where's Billie?" I asked, realizing she should be at the table by now.

"She went out for a run with Seth. They should be back soon." Chris told me with a sweet smile that made my traitorous heart flutter.

Everyone was more relaxed, everyone except me. Bella brought more food to the table and then sat across from me. She was smiling but her smile faded as she looked at me.

"Did you sleep well?" She asked me. I tried not to fidget under her stare.

"Yes. I was very comfortable." I lied to her. My voice was all wrong. Chris was eating waffles but he served himself some pancakes when Bella brought them.

"You shouldn't eat so much, its not very healthy." I told him trying to divert Bella's attention from me. Chris chuckled.

"I'm a half vampire, LG. It takes a lot more than fats and starches to get me." He told me. He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that I was about to implode but Bella kept staring at me. I didn't like it.

I was quiet for the rest of breakfast and Billie never returned with Seth. I wanted to for my sister to return but I wanted to get out of that house as soon as possible. Jamie and I would have to look for her on our way home. I took Jamie aside and asked him to take me home to get Nala. We left her in our house overnight so she needed to get walked pretty soon. Chris overheard and quickly offered to take me but I told him that I wanted some time alone to get my personal things so he let it go.

As I Jamie ran home with me in his arms, I went over the dream in my head. I was scared and I knew I needed to tell my siblings what was happening. As soon as we got to the house I tried to pull away from Jamie's arms. I felt like I was going to explode if I waited any longer but we still had to find Billie.

"What's wrong Cammy? Are you feeling sick?" Jamie asked me. He let me down and I could feel my heart beating faster and faster.

"No. I need to talk to you about them. I know I said that I trusted them but I had a dream last night. They lied to us." I told him. He gave me a confused expression.

"What about?" He asked me, just as we heard Nala barking as she approached us.

"What the hell is she doing outside?" He asked. I just shook my head. Nala looked as if there was something wrong which momentarily distracted me from telling Jamie about my dream. She kept barking at us and whining before she ran to the door of the house. As soon as we entered, Jamie's nostrils flared.

"I smell wolf blood. Kinda smells like Seth." He told me. He ran downstairs to the basement entrance at vampire speed. I ran after him following him all the way into the safe house.

When I got inside with Nala I found him crouching over Billie. She was in a corner of the training room naked with a blanket over her shoulders. It looked like Jamie had placed it there. She was sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around her legs and her head on her knees. She was crying. Nala smelled her knee whimpering before she laid next to her.

"Billie please. You're scaring me. Tell me what the hell happened." Jamie begged her. His voice sounded so worried it made my heart ache even more. Billie looked up to us and her chin was covered in blood. Jamie took a corner of the blanket and cleaned her face.

"I messed up Jamie. I messed up…" She told him. Her eyes were distraught. Jamie and I looked at each other. He had the same worried expression that I probably had. He turned back to her and kissed her forehead.

"It's going to be ok. Just tell me what happened." Jamie told her softly. Billie started shaking and then she cried again.

"I let him in." She sobbed. "We were talking and… and he reminded me so much of daddy…" She said, her voice breaking because she was crying so much.

"Its ok, Billie. Just calm down and tell me what happened." Jamie repeated. She shook her head.

"Its not ok! He knows! He reminded me of dad and when we phased to our wolf forms our minds connected. He read my mind! He knows about Cameron! They all do!" She told him desperately. I gasped and stepped back. I never imagined that Billie would be the one to rat me out. I was sure it would be Jamie.

"Its going to be ok. He's family. They're…" I immediately cut him off.

"They're liars Jamie! That's what I was trying to tell you. They can't be trusted!" I told him. Tears were starting to form in my eyes as I realized in how much trouble we all were.

"What are you talking about?" Jamie asked me.

"I had another dream last night. I saw everything. My mom was sentenced to death by her sister Sarah and the Volturi, the same Sarah they want us to meet. I saw everything. All of them were there and they just stood there and let Sarah and her children destroy my mom. They took her wolf away by force and said that she may never be a wolf again. That even if she is in danger she will not be able to phase. Do you understand what that means?" I asked them but I didn't wait for them to answer. "My mom would still be alive if she still had the ability to phase and heal herself! She died because they took away her ability to phase forever. They wanted her to be defenseless. They sentenced her to die a human life without her immortal family. Jake said they would go to war and tried to defend mom at first but then he just allowed them to exile her. Grandpa Kal was the only one who stood up for her. He didn't want them to sentence her but they did it anyway while the rest of them just watched and did nothing!" I told them.

"No. No way. This doesn't sound like them at all." Jamie said but Billie growled.

"That's not the only thing they lied about." She told us as her anger started to calm her.

"What?" I asked her.

"Grandma and grandpa are alive. When I phased, Seth was talking to grandma Leah in his wolf form. She and grandpa have been alive this whole time. They've been spying on us. They were even there in our parents' funeral but they never told us they were alive." Billie told us. Jamie instantly stood up, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Your wrong. There's no way they are alive." He insisted. Billie got even angrier and got up while tightening the blanket around her body.

"For God's sake Jamie you just met these people! I knew that they were being too nice, too accommodating. They were trying too hard because they felt guilty. Because they were tricking us!" Billie said. Jamie shook his head at her. I grabbed his hand to get his attention.

"I don't know what to say." Jamie finally admitted.

"They can't be trusted. We have to leave now. Its going to rain soon so they can't follow our scents or read our minds so if we go now. Please let's get Nala and go!" I said as I pulled him but he wouldn't move.

"Where? Where can we possibly go?" He asked me.

"I don't care. If Sarah was willing to kill her own sister then what is she going to do to me. She doesn't even know me." I said. Jamie rubbed his brow which he usually did when he was really frustrated and confused.

"In know you are scared but aunt Leanna's case was different. She broke their laws… You've done nothing wrong and neither have we." Jamie told me. Billie let out an exasperated gasp. I could tell she was scared and frustrated by Jamie.

"Are you really willing to take that chance?!" She asked him.

"I don't think we have a choice Billie. I'm not happy about the fact that they lied to us and I 'm extremely pissed our grandparents for abandoning us but they are the only people who can help us now." He told us.

"How can you possibly say that? What makes you think that they won't kill Cameron the moment she shows signs of becoming a werewolf?" Billie asked him. He glared at her.

"Because they love her and more importantly because Cameron is more than just an infected mutt." He told her angrily.

"Why are you defending them?" I asked him frustrated.

"I don't want to run away anymore and aunt Leanna was obviously a complicated person. I am tired of living this type of life. I am tired of being afraid. I just want out lives to go back to normal and they can help! They want us to be normal, to be happy. Maybe they didn't tell us because they were afraid of this…" He said pointing to Billie and me. "That we would overreact and run away. This is your family Cam. Do you really think they would hurt you after what happened to your mom? Her death destroyed them. We have to give them a chance to make things right. Not to mention that they know way more about your condition than we ever will and they can help you in ways that Billie and I can't so I just think we need to give them a chance." He told us. I was too shocked to even respond but Billie snapped into the conversation immediately.

"There is no way I am letting you take that risk with her life!" Billie yelled at him. I has to agree with her on that one.

"You can go back to them. I'm not going back there or to Volterra." I told him.

"Cameron…" Jaime started but I cut him off.

"No! You don't understand. Nobody understands!" I cried out of desperation and then I started crying. Billie quickly came over to me while Jamie grabbed his hair, not knowing what to do.

"Let's just get Nala and go. If we head west we'll be in Alaska within a day and at the coast within two." Billie told Jamie.

"We don't have any money or clothes or id. Let's just calm down and talk to them. I don't want to spend the rest of my life like this and I don't want you to either. We can all have a normal life." He said again. Billie turned to him angrily.

"Is that all you care about?! How can our lives ever be normal after all this? How can it be normal without our parents? Do you realize that Cam was right? If aunt Leanna was a wolf, she could have survived that accident and even saved our parents!" Billie yelled at him.

"You can't think like that. If aunt Lee stayed a wolf, she probably would have never gotten pregnant with Cam." Jaime told her then he hugged us both before he continued in a softer tone. "Our parents would still be dead, Billie. No matter what, that is the one thing that would not have changed. Mom had no siblings, we would've had to go live with uncle Jack who was a stranger to us and who could possibly have killed us if he were still a werewolf in this scenario." He told Billie. Billie had tears in her eyes but she seemed calmer than before.

"I'm not sure what happened with aunt Leanna and I am upset that she and our parents are gone but we still have each other. You don't have to trust them, just trust me. I would never allow anything to happen to you." He told us just as we heard a loud banging on the forest entrance. The banging outside got louder and Nala started barking.

Jamie ran to the panel and opened the screen to see who it was. It was Chris, Seth at the forest entrance and my grandparents at the front one. Jamie looked at us.

"I'm going to open the door and we are all going to talk. Ok?" He asked us. I was unsure but I nodded. Billie nodded too.

"I guess we don't really have a choice anymore. I'm going to change. I'm sorry Cammy." She whispered and before I could say anything, she went to down the hall to the bedroom. Jamie sighed and opened the doors. Instantly they were in the room. Chris looked so relived that he let out a deep breath.

"I was sure that you kids were gone. I am so glad I was wrong." Chris told us.

"Where's Billie?" Seth asked.

"I'm right here." She told him from the corner. Seth looked at her and sighed before he went over to her.

"You bit me." He told her.

"You lied to me." She responded.

"We were going to tell you when you were ready." Seth told her and then he hugged her. Billie growled at him.

"I don't care how mad you are at me, I am never going to give up on you." Seth told her.

"Where's Jack?" Chris asked Jamie. Jamie looked at me but I shook my head, begging him with my eyes not to tell them.

"We know he's the werewolf you're protecting. Please, we need to get him to safety and start working with him as soon as possible." Chris insisted. Jamie sighed and I knew it was over. He was going to tell them the truth!

"Jack is dead. He died trying to protect us from a vampire."He told them. Chris looked confused.

"Then who are you three protecting?" He asked. Jamie took me into his arms and Billie walked over to us with Seth.

Edward was watching me. He looked at the three of us and then he looked at Seth as if he was reading something from his mind. Edward's expression changed for a moment before he looked at me again. He walked over to Jamie and me before he stroked my check with the back of his fingers.

"Please Cameron. Is it?" He asked me. I could see the pain and fear his eyes.

"Yes." I told him. He nodded and looked at Bella. They exchanged a look and Bella's expression became full of concern.

"What the hell is going on?!" Chris asked them.

"Its Cameron." Bella told him. Chris had a horrified expression but Seth was just somber as if he already suspected it.

"That's impossible!" Chris yelled at them. He looked at me for confirmation but I just nodded.

"How did you know?" Jamie asked them.

"When Cameron turned 10 we were concerned that she would start showing signs of being an immortal. If she did, we would never take Cameron's powers without her consent. The family got together privately to discuss the possibilities for Cameron. It was just Nessie, Jacob, William, Sarah, Duilio and us. We were considering allowing Leanna to return home with Cameron. Leanna foresaw it before we even came to a decision. She called us and told us that there will never be a place for her daughter in our family no matter what she becomes. Now we understand why." Edward told us.

"She did that to protect me from you." I told him quietly. "And I am starting to think she had the right idea. I'm sorry, but we know the truth about what happened to my mother. We know you sentenced her to death." I told them. Chris's eyes widened in surprise but Edward just nodded.

"I'm sorry Cameron. We just didn't know how to tell you something so painful." Edward told us. I nodded.

"We have been through a lot because of what you all did to my mom and because of the secrets and the lies. Even grandma Leah and grandpa Kal turned their back at us when we needed them the most. I guess its a good thing I never got to meet them. We may be related, but you're not our family. You're strangers… strangers who took my mom's ability to defend herself, to heal herself. She may still be alive if it wasn't for her sentence. She would still be with me if you had defended her when she needed you." I said and regretted it the moment he lowered his head. I could see the pain on his face. Bella looked held on to her stomach as if I had just munched her in the gut. She was trembling.

"Cameron!" Seth scolded but Edward raised his hand to him and shook his head.

"She has every right to be upset. She's right." Edward said in a broken voice. "We'll be back in the house if you need us." He said before he took Bella's hand and they both walked away.

"How could you say something like that to them?! You don't know how hard this has been on our family. Our family is huge but we are very close. Do you realize that they had to live with the fact that their own great granddaughter would never know about them? Harry and Liam both also had to learn to live without their little brothers. Do you know how hard that was? It was hard on all of us and especially Edward. You are the dream that he never allowed himself to have because he was a vampire. The rest of the Cullens have adopted kids but you are his blood. You have his whole heart just by existing. Do you think he gives a damn about anything else? He would burn for all eternity if it meant having your mother back!" Chris scolded me. I was used to seeing him cheery and happy. I had never seen him so angry.

"Calm down man. Don't talk to her like that." Jamie said, defending me.

"You think that was just for her. This is for the three of you!" Chris told him.

"You were the ones who lied about aunt Leanna and our grandparents." Jamie reminded him.

"Who the hell knows what else you kept from us." Billie added.

"We have lived for over 200 years. There are tons of things we haven't told you yet. Did it ever occur to you that we wanted to save you from some of the pain that we've been through? We are your family! When are you three going to get that?!"

"That's enough Chris. They're just children." Seth told him.

"Then they need to grow up! This one broke her great grandparents' hearts and this one nearly ripped your leg off. They can't just go around attacking the people that love them and would give anything for them. They want the truth so its time that they know what really happened." Chris said.

"Chris!" Seth said in a warning tone.

"What truth?" I asked indignant.

"Your mother was responsible for the deaths of 17 humans and 5 werewolves by the time we realized what she had done. There were countless others after that before we were able to take back control of the situation but by then your mother was back at the rez while I was out there cleaning up her mess. I told you that the werewolves are crazed. They cannot control themselves like the original children of the moon. They turned on each other and they turned on the humans around them. Forty two is the total number of lives Leanna's stunt cost, 45 if you count Jameson's family." He told us. Jamie put me down on the ground. From the corner of my eye, I saw Billie was shaking.

"Is that true?" Jamie asked Seth. Seth nodded.

"What?" I asked. My voice was breathless. My mind went back to Jameson and his family. My mom had set him free and he killed them. The little girl was only ten years old and the boy was closer to my age. I never occurred to me that my mother was responsible for their deaths. Chris closed his eyes and nodded. I looked at him with eyes full of tears.

"I'm sorry Cameron. I never wanted you to know about this but you need to know the severity of your mother's actions so you can understand why your mother was sentenced." Chris explained. He took a step towards me but I quickly took a step back.

"My mom was a good person! She couldn't have known that would happen." I said quickly because I couldn't believe that my mother could be responsible for so many lives. Seth came over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Their leader, Jameson, made her believe that the werewolves could control their beast and that they could contain themselves without the help of the Volturi. He wasn't completely wrong and he knew it. The newer werewolves did have this ability and some of the people she released had successfully locked themselves at night and managing their pain through drugs and alcohol during the day when we found them. But the others… The others started forming packs of their own for 'protection'. Its their instinct to form a pack. There was no amount of training and awareness that could take that instinct away. They started to grow madder and madder and they started killing humans who got too close to them during the day. At night they would get into fights with other own pack members and rip each other to shreds. They couldn't control themselves." He told us.

"Your mother was a good person. She just put her trust on the wrong person. He fed her mind with poison. I would catch them talking all the time but that's as far as I remember. I never remember their conversations because your mother took those memories from my mind." Chris told me. I started crying. I was heaving and sobbing loudly. I couldn't even control it. Jamie quickly picked me up and hugged me.

"You people really should consult us before you tell her these things." Jamie told them angrily. I wasn't really looking at him but I could imagine the angry look he was giving Chris and Seth. When he let me go I looked to Jamie and confirmed it. He was pissed.

"I'm sorry but some things are too important. Cam… You mother was one of the kindest people I knew. She valued human life so I don't know what possessed your mother to do something so thoughtless. The only thing I could think of is that she really and truly believed that she was doing the right thing. She could feel everything the werewolves felt for almost fifty years. It was too much for anyone to bear, especially someone as kindhearted as Leanna. I knew her and in my heart, I know that's the reason why she let those werewolves go but it doesn't change the fact that she was wrong." He told me. I was still crying, remembering her anger from the dream. He wasn't wrong. She did think she was doing the right thing, but there was something more. There was a hint of desperation when she defied her family. As if she was doing something more important than just saving the werewolves. I just needed to figure out what. What was so important that it was worth risking the lives of innocent people?
