Chapter 14: Family Stories
I leaned back in my chair and listened to Charlie.
"I was told a story by my grandfather when I was a child, of course I thought it was a fairy tale or something my family had come up with to keep their children in line and not to do reckless thinks…my grandfather told me that a very long time ago, he was unsure of how many generations but the Swan family was cursed, any child born of Swan blood or any woman or male to marry into the Swan family line – even if they don't take the Swan last name become curse.
"This curse was that if any Swan was to die in an unnatural way such as a car accident, being shot, stabbed, suicide or well I'm guessing what happened to you – the Swan family member would be reborn and come back as something else, something that wasn't human, you would come back as a vampire however this curse wasn't a natural way of becoming a vampire so there were some side effects.
"These vampires were a very rare and unique kind of vampire known as a Strigoi, these vampires had all the same things as normal vampires, the fangs, the pale skin, normally red coloured eyes, and they had the speed and strength and also the enhanced senses. However Strigoi vampires had other abilities, special abilities, some had powers of compulsion – so mind control, they could compel humans and mystical creatures alike, some also had other special gifts…I don't know any my grandfather didn't given any specifics into that." I nodded at all the details he was giving me
"When did this all happen?"
"Um I think my father said the story started back in England in 1120 when Henry the first ruled over England, it was your extremely great grandfather who was supposedly curse by a witch who he and another knight had beaten and raped in the forest. Your grandfather of course had killed the witch after she threatened to curse him, it was three nights later his throat was cut in his sleep and after his wife found him she ran off screaming for help but when she came back his body was gone. No one ever heard anything again from him."
"Do you know of anyone else is our family that became a…Strigoi?" He nodded
"There were people here and there throughout the centuries but none of them seemed to stay in home, your great grandmother, my grandmother was the only one who returned, my grandfather found out she was a vampire and didn't want her to leave again because he loved her, he couldn't look her, so for years she stayed hidden in this house right here, of course the house is bigger now but he would let her feed from him every night, he took care of her and once my father had moved out she disappeared again, my grandfather was heartbroken for many years and died on his 87th birthday in his bed, lucky for him he didn't become a vampire." I nodded and asked
"So it was a curse that caused me to be like this." He nodded
"Yep it's a family curse and if you're telling the truth it is Renee's fault."
"Dad…" I grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly in mine "I swear to you I'm not lying…every detail is true." He smiled softly and squeezed my hand back. It was then my phone rang. I apologized to him and pulled it out, Edward was calling. "Hey Edward what's up?"
"Renee turned around and is coming back to the house, she said something about forgetting something but I think she thinks something is wrong, you need to get out now." I frowned. I had two choices, one I could stay here and confront Renee and make her tell my father the truth, have her become divorced by my father – hopefully – and then go back home or second I could slip outside before Renee got home.
I decided I would face her.
"It's ok I need to talk to her anyway, get back here first and just walk straight in. It's time I get some answers from her as well."
"Are you sure?" He sounded concerned
"No…I'm not." I hung up and said to Charlie
"Renee is coming back, my…arrh…" what was Edward? A friend? I guess he was now. "…my friend just called to let me know." Charlie nodded
"So are you going?" I shook my head
"No I need to have a quick chat with her." He nodded again and took my hand in his
"Bella I can't promise you anything, she has been my wife for almost 20 years, it's hard to believe she would do this." I smiled at him softly
"I know dad, it's just that people changed…I mean I thought she was my mother up until a few months ago, I would never have believed that she had me kidnapped so she could torture me for not being her daughter." He looked at me with tears in his eyes now
"I'm sorry all of that happened to you Bells, I never wanted any of this to happen to you. I always planned on making sure you had everything you ever wanted and I thought Renee had loved you as her own; I never saw any sign that she didn't." I wrapped him up in a hug when I heard the front door and seconds later Edward appeared in the door way. I pulled away from my father
"How did things go?" Edward asked
"Fine, I will fill you in later." He nodded
"Where is Renee?" Before anyone could say anything she appeared
"I'm right here darling and who the hell is that…" she pointed to Edward and then looked at me "…oh Bella sweetheart your home." She went to step towards me but Edward stopped her. He growled slightly
"Stay away from her." Renee glared at him
"Who the hell are you? You have no right to tell me stay away from my daughter!" I glared at her
"Your daughter really Renee I mean didn't you say only a few months ago on the phone "…I want you to hunt that little bitch down, and then kill her. I'm sick of having some other bitch's daughter as my own…" I mean unless I heard someone else in your office with the exact same voice as you on the phone then I guess I'm not your daughter am I?" Her eyes open wide; she knew I knew everything now. Well not everything but I knew enough.
"So Renee, are you going to explain why you kidnapped my daughter and why you had her killed?" She frowned
"Charlie…you can't honestly believe the crap that is coming out of her mouth, it's all lies I promise." I rolled my eyes
"My god, it's over Renee you have been busted. Now why the fuck did you do it? Is this all because I'm not your biological daughter." She scoffed
"I don't give a shit about any of that…the only reason any of this happened because of the stupid Swan family curse." I looked confused
"What the hell do you know about the Swan curse?" She smiled
"Now why would I tell you that? That would ruin all of my plans." I stepped forward so I was right in front of her
"So you do know what I am then, what he is?" I nodded towards Edward. She nodded
"Of course I do sweetheart, I'm not stupid and plus you weren't meant to die then, well not in the basement anyway…your cage hadn't been finished yet."
"What cage?" Before she could respond multiple police sirens were heard coming towards us. Charlie ran to the window and then yelled
"What did you do?" She smiled
"Darling your daughter who assaulted you and me is in our house trying to kill us, so I called the police." I glared at her
"I haven't done anything to you." She smiled and pulled a gun out of her purse and pointed it at me
"Not yet you have." She went to pull the trigger but I acted quickly and knocked the gun out of her before she slammed into the wall and fell to the ground, she was out cold. I turned to my dad
"CRAP! I cannot believe I just fell for that." Charlie ran over
"Bella you two need to leave now, go out the back door and I will distract them." I shook my head
"What about you?" He smiled
"I will tell Renee that I see that you are crazy, she won't hurt me, I might be able to get some information out of her so maybe I can help you. Now go." I nodded and hugged him quickly before Edward grabbed my hand and let me at vampire speed out the back door and over the back wall.
