A/N: Thanks to all my reviewers! You guys are awesome! You keep my spirit up and make me work harder. Sorry for the slight delay of the chapter. I have been really sick and was in no condition to write.

Hope you enjoy it. Let me know at the bottom :P

ELENA'S POV

I stood there with my mouth agape.

My head kept going from side to side; from the place where Damon had disappeared and to the house Bella was in.

I ran a hand through my hair, unsure of my next move. Should I go after Damon?

No, that seemed like a bad idea. He was too mad and hurt to deal with anyone right now. But the thing that had me worrying was that when Damon was in exactly this mood he had a habit of making some really bad choices. Been there, seen that.

I had heard the entire conversation. I had been practically chewing my lips of in anxiety, begging inside my head for Damon to keep calm. Secretly, I might also have been begging for Bella to come to her senses. Whatever senses she possessed. But normally I would have thought that her acting like that was her coming to her senses. Humans did not mingle with vampires and feel completely fine about it.

But I knew that she normally did feel perfectly fine around vampires, comfortable even. Maybe, even more than she did with humans. It was freaky but it was what made her so special. And well, it did certainly take something special in order to capture Damon's attention and be capable of keeping it. So, Bella coming to her senses would be her not feeling frightened of Damon.

She had rejected him. And Damon did not cope well with rejection. Never.

In Bella's defense, she had really been frightened. I had heard her heartbeat go nuts, I heard the fear latched in her voice and I could smell the adrenalin even from her room and all the way out here on the front porch.

I groaned. Okay, I couldn't go into house. No invitation, no entrance. I mean, I could go and throw something at Bella's window to get her attention but I bet she would figure out I was like Damon the second I asked her to invite me in. The vamp movies did mention the 'have to be invited in'- thing and she might draw the conclusion from there.

Finally, I made up my mind and decided to go back to the Cullens house. We would find out what to do.

I raced through the woods, not really taking in my surroundings. My thoughts were too jumbled.

I reached the house in less than ten minutes and was met by frantic voices from inside. I frowned unhappily and went in.

They were all gathered in the dining room as they had been when Damon had been here to tell us about Katherine.

Ah, Katherine. My everlasting pain in the ass. Well, we would have to deal with her at a later time. Right now, we needed to focus on what to do with Damon.

Alice was standing and growling at her brothers and her mate. Emmett, Jasper and Edward all stood in a circle around her with their arms crossed and stern expressions.

"What is the matter with you, guys?" Alice said through her teeth, her hands on her hips. I almost expected her to stomp her foot.

"Sorry, Alice. We can't let you go," Emmett replied. "We'll wait for Elena to get back"

"What?" she shouted frustrated. "How can you-"

She stopped her angry rant as she noticed me.

I lifted my hand and gave a tiny wave. "Err, hi"

Alice came charging toward me and I almost stepped backwards. She was kinda scary when she got like this.

"Okay, okay. I need to hear what happened," she demanded and dragged me further towards the others.

"Why?" I asked not able to stop the question from leaving my mouth. Of course, she needed to know. They all did.

Then I remembered. "Wait, don't you know already?" I asked her. "I mean with you gift and all-"

"Yes, yes, my amazing gift," she spat out the adjective.

"Alice, are you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay. Yes, I saw glimpses of the conversation the two love birds had but now I'm seeing things that really freaks me out"

"What?" I asked her. Now I was on edge. Had Damon done something and that was what she saw?

"It's Damon" she said.

Ding, ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

I flinched inwardly. Jeez, I was becoming too much like Damon. Not cool, so not cool.

"Why didn't you come get me sooner?"

Alice turned and glared at the three boys. "Because they wouldn't let me go," she pointed and accusing finger at them.

I looked to them. "Why not?"

Edward and Emmett looked slightly ashamed. Almost like school boys feeling the wrath of their teacher. But I noticed Jasper's expression the most. Completely indifference.

"Because Alice told us that Damon was getting upset and I was not about to let her go there while he was… out of control," he told me.

I sighed. I couldn't really blame him. Damon wasn't always trustable when he got like that.

"Maybe it was for the best"

Alice rounded on me. "How so?"

I snorted "Let's just say that when Damon gets in that kind of mood he can easily snap and… well, in my case; go for your brother"

"Or rather your brothers neck," I heard Stefan mumbled under his breath from his place by the table. Everyone looked to him in a heartbeat. Or… you know what I mean.

Edward was about to say something but I cut him off. "Never mind that. I need to know what Alice saw"

I turned back to Alice.

"Alice what was the vision about?" I asked her. I wanted to know what had her worrying.

Her face became a look of uneasiness. She shuffled a little; clearly not happy about the information she had to deliver.

"All you need can be said in two words," Stefan answered for her. He stood from his seat and walked to me.

His look was so sad that I immediately got worried. "What?"

"Damon and blood" he raised a finger for both the things.

My eyes widened. "He killed someone?" I asked with horror.

They looked at Alice. She wrung her hands. "I'm not sure…" She said slowly. "It wasn't exactly death but there was blood for sure"

My eyes sought out Stefan's "He might have… fed from someone" I swallowed the lump in my throat.

I could see he really wished not to believe it. "He wouldn't do that… right? Not when he has Bella"

But that was the thing; he didn't have her. "I think that Damon's capable of doing anything when he's hurt like that" I muttered. My body collapsed into a nearby chair with my head in my hands.

"Hurt?" Ada asked in a small voice.

I sighed. "She rejected him. Refused to trust him, refused to have him near her. The way that she acted was so…" I shook my head. "It was only too clear that she feared him. She was so frightened of him. I can only imagine how much that must have caused him to… feel" I spoke the last word with an air of uncertainty.

"I think however…" I continued. "From the way she was speaking and what she was saying, well, it sounded like she didn't really remember everything"

"So, you think there's a chance that when she gets the rest of her memory back she'll… be more agreeable?" Ada asked me. Her voice was drowned in hope.

I stared her in the eyes. "Yes, I hope so very much"

"Okay, but what do we do about Damon?" Edward asked Stefan and I. He knew that we were the ones that knew Damon best. Of course, he figured we would know how to handle the situation. The only problem was that it was extremely rarely Damon got like this. It was so rare that he got so emotionally involved that he could get hurt like this.

"We wait," Stefan responded.

"What?" Edward asked shocked. "You're not telling me we're just gonna let him run around out there, probably hurting people"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you" Stefan said sternly. "If we start going after him he's gonna do something really stupid in order to escape us. If we just wait for him to calm down and come back to his senses then we might be able to talk to him when he gets back"

Edward crossed his arms "What's making you think he'll come back"

I smiled a sad smiled a sad smile and spoke instead of Stefan "No matter how strongly Bella dislikes him right now, he's gonna come back"

"Are you sure?"

I nodded "Oh, yes, I'm sure. He's never been like he is with Bella. She has a hold on him I've never seen before and no matter how much he wishes to forget her, he won't be able to. Even if she doesn't want him in her life he'll still come back just to watch over her and protect her. He sure as hell won't go anywhere with Katherine still in the area"

"Okay, then we'll stay and wait" Carlisle said with finality in his voice. No one questioned him.

"We can use the time to figure out what to do with Katherine," Ada said. She spoke Katherine's name with venom. Jeez, Ada hadn't even met Katherine yet and she already hated her. I liked that girl.

"How dangerous is she, really?" Jasper asked Stefan and I.

I shrugged "If it had been just Stefan, Damon and I then it might have caused some trouble. She is, after all twice Damon's and Stefan's age, but with you guys on our team…" I looked at Stefan who had a sly smile on his face. "It should be easier"

"Then let's go get her," Emmett exclaimed impatiently, his body restless with excitement.

"Wait," I said as he was already moving to exit the house with Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Edward and Ada hot in his heals "It could be exactly what she wants us to do. We don't know yet"

"But we can't just sit around and wait for her to hurt Bella again," Edward said heatedly. Ada nodded urgently.

I sighed. "Fine, go if you feel you must. But be careful. Do not take any chances with her"

"And…" Stefan said, making them pause again. "If she starts talking, then don't listen to a word she says"

They all nodded and then they were gone.

Esme and Carlisle stayed back with us.

"Is it dangerous for them to be out there?" Esme asked worriedly.

Stefan shook his head slowly. "I doubt it. Katherine might be sneaky but with Edward's mind reading, Jasper's empathy gift and Alice's visions I'd say they're good to go"

I nodded in agreement, hoping that he would be right.

BELLA'S POV

My entire head was a mess, Hell, I was a mess. Not just my head.

After Damon had left I hadn't moved from my spot on the bed. I had cried my eyes out over everything that had happened. Nothing of it made sense.

I figure that a normal person would have gone to the police already. I should have called my dad and screamed in the phone about the existence of vampires. But something held me back; something told me not to do it no matter how much I wanted to.

What pained me the most was that even though I felt so scared with him close to me, I still felt a bubbly, tingling feeling inside of me. A heat went through my veins like fire at the thought of him so close to me. I just couldn't help but feel attracted to him.

Somehow it had pained him to watch my fear for him. It was clear to me that he felt horrible about the fact that I was scared of him. And I knew how my rejection of him at hurt him.

But something didn't quite add up.

I had known Damon before losing my memory. Apparently long enough for us to get pretty close. I must have known about him being a vampire back then too. I must. But why did I fear him so right now? What had changed so dramatically?

A ringing brought me out of my thoughts. Someone was at the door.

I got up from the bed slowly, grimacing at the pain my broken bones caused me and made my way down the stairs and to the hall.

I opened the door and was met by cold brown eyes.

I frowned. "Who are you?" I asked her.

She smiled sweetly and swung her curled brown hair back over her shoulder. "I'm Katherine"

I nodded warily "I'm sorry, if I know you then I don't quite remember. I was in an accident not long ago and my memories are a little sketchy," I explained apologetically.

She shrugged and continued smiling at me. "That's quite alright"

She didn't say anything else so we stood in silence for a couple of minutes.

"Can I come in?" She asked me, gesturing with her hand to the doorway.

Something told me that that was not a good idea. It sounded nuts but I was already going crazy so I might as well just go with the flow.

"I don't think that's a good idea," I said. She cocked her head to the side in response. "I'm not feeling so good right now. My injuries from the accident are still in a bad condition and I have a bad headache"

I lied to her. I didn't want her to know that the ache I was really feeling was heartache.

Suddenly, she stepped closer to me and looked me directly in the eye. "I think you should invite me in"

Her eyes changed. Her pupils dilated and then became smaller. I felt something weird, like something soft brush against my brain trying to enter my head. I shook my head trying to clear my mind.

I looked at her and noticed her stare locked on my neck. My hand automatically went to it.

"Nice necklace," She said as she met my eyes again. "Can I see it?"

I wrinkled my eyebrows but saw no reason why she couldn't. I reached behind my hair and unclasped it, took it from my neck and reached out to give it to her.

"Bella!"

Katherine whirled around and my eyes shot to the trees behind her.

A group of people emerged from there. All ridiculously beautiful, might add.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the famous Cullen clan," Katherine drawled somewhat mockingly.

I flinched. Something about the name made a clock ring.

My eyes looked at each one of them. I could feel my mind recognizing them. But there were something else that was just out of reach. Something important about them.

One of the guys stepped forward his body tense. "Step away from her Katherine"

"You know what, I don't think I will," she looked back at me and the craziness expressed in her eyes made me take a step back into the house.

My yes then fell on the guy that had spoken. Something about him made my stomach clench. His bronze hair, those handsome features, that lean strong body, his soft voice…

I gasped. I remembered him. He was the one that had sat in my window, he was the one that had carried me through the woods. He was a vampire.

They all were.

I whimpered and stepped further into the house.

Katherine shot me an amused look, "Well, isn't this interesting. The little one is getting her precious memory back, or at least some of it," she grinned evilly. "It looks like my job here is done"

And with that, she disappeared.

Some of them were about to go after her but the bronze haired guy stopped them. "Don't"

"Why not?" a dark haired, big and strong looking guy asked almost sounding frustrated.

"It won't do any good," the guy replied reasonably. "Go back and inform Elena and Stefan"

The big one disappeared into the woods and the blond haired girl.

A tiny girl with short hair went and whispered something in the bronze haired guy's ear. He nodded.

She turned to me and gave a happy wave. I returned it awkwardly and then she too was gone along with the blond haired dude.

Left back was him and another girl that I oddly enough also seemed to remember but not in the same way I had with… the Cullens.

They took each other's hands and cam towards me. They moved slowly, for which I was grateful for.

I couldn't keep my eyes off him. I wanted to cry. I was just so confused and none of it made sense. I knew him. Like knew him knew him.

I pointed a shaky finger at him and spoke with a weak voice; "Who are you exactly?"

"You don't remember?" he asked me cautiously.

I shook my head frantically.

"Are you sure, Bella?"

My face morphed into a pained grimace "I don't know. I mean, I think I remember you but at the same time I don't"

He nodded understandingly.

"Then let me introduce myself," he said and smiled at me. He held out a hand. "I'm Edward. Your ex"

My eyes widened.

Holy shit, this was getting more dramatic than a soap opera.

I was in deep shit. But then again, when wasn't I?
