Chapter 48: Questions & Answers


Bella's POV

It takes me 30 minutes to calm down again. Edward still hasn't let me go and I'm taking that as a good sign.

"Any questions for me?" I ask softly

"Bella I don't think we should continue this today. You look warn out", Daddy says looking at me concerned

"No let's do this today. Let's get everything out in the open", I say firmly, "And I do mean everyone. Anyone can ask me a question and I'll answer it honestly"

They all look at each other. They don't know where to start. It takes them a couple of minutes before the questions start.

"You said it took you 4 days to leave", Jasper stated looking at Emmett quickly

"Yes", I say slowly

"Did you see…", Emmett says

I give them both a soft look. I know what they are talking about now.

"Yes I did see. Emmett you are my brother and I'll always forgive you. Jasper you are my brother too and I'll always forgive you as well", I say

I reach out of Edward's arms out to Emmett. Seeing that he needed comfort. Edward quickly gets of the bed seeing what I'm doing. Emmett looks at me unsure of what to do. He probably doesn't want to hurt me. I nod my hand my arms reaching out for him again. My body is still not quite healed enough for me to get up yet without hurting myself. Emmett seeing my struggle quickly comes to my side and takes me into his arms sitting me on his lap and hugs me tightly.

"I'm so sorry for everything Bells", he whisperers in my ear

"I never blamed you for anything Emmy Bear", I reply with a smile

Emmett smiles and hugs me tightly.

"Before you said you can read-mines. Did you read ours when Jasper bought you back to us?" Alice asks nervously

"Yes I did", I say softly, I'm not going to lie to them

Emmett stiffens and Alice looks down they both know what I heard. And they both feel bad for it.

"Forget about it. It is all in the past. I don't hold it against you", I say to both of them

They both nod but I can tell they are not going to let it go. I'm going to have to talk to them both about this later.

"Where did you go after you left us?" Mum asks

"I went to New York. I had to get my passports and money from my safely deposit box", I reply quickly

"Why would you need more passports?" Rose asks

I sigh, "Each passport had a different name on it. I didn't want anyone to find me"

"That's why we couldn't find you", Caius mutterers

"You were trying?" I asked surprised that was something I didn't know.

Aro sighs, "Yes we were. We didn't understand at the time why you left"

"Oh. That makes sense. You didn't find me", I reply smiling

They all grumble.

"What names did you use?" Maggie asks

"I kept my first name the same and changed my last name I used Cullen, Denali, Volturi, Whitlock, Platt, Masen, Hale, Brandon, Black, and McCarty", I say listing all the names I used

They all look at me stunned. Well I did use their last names.

"Are you joking?" Alec asks me

I give Maggie a pointed look

"She's not lying", Maggie says

They all look at me stunned.

I chuckle, "Just because I was trying to stay off your radar doesn't mean I couldn't use your last names"

They all chuckle with me.

"What is your real name? That you use", Alice asks

"Isabella Marie Denali Volturi Whitlock Cullen", I reply immediately

This shocks all the Cullen's besides Esme after all I ready told her this.

"Denali because I consider all of them my family, Volturi because I'm Marcus's daughter, Whitlock because of Peter, Charlotte and Jasper and Cullen because I consider you all my family", I say explaining why I have all the names

Suddenly realization flashes on everyone's face. About time. I think to myself.

"Did you say you middle name is Marie?" Aro asks

"Yes I did. Why?" I ask sweetly

"Are you the one that got all of us here?" Peter asks me

I grin at everyone, "About time you all figured that out"

Everyone groans.

"It is so obvious now", Peter groans

I grin evilly to myself.

"Uncle Peter can you please come here", I ask him sweetly

Everyone one but him would have noticed my tone. But Peter is an idiot and he hasn't noticed it.

"What can I do for you Bells?" he asks me coming closer

When he is in arms reach of me, my hand snaps out and grips his wrist tightly bring him closer to me.

"Ow Bella that hurts. What have I done?" Peter whines

I pull him down until he is eye level with me.

"Firstly you down right ticked me off. Secondly you messed with me when I was giving you important information. Thirdly you tricked information out of me and Fourthly…", I say, I take my grip off his wrist and move it down to his man hood, "You made me waste 2 days searching for you", I finish ripping his man hood off

Peter cries out in pain. Everyone else busts out laughing. Charlotte the worst of all.

"I take it you went with option B", Charlotte says laughing

I grin, "He's lucky I haven't decided to burn it. Yet.", I say waving it in front of him.

Peter looks at me with fear in his eyes, "Please Bella don't do that"

"We'll see", I say smirking

Peter is still looking at me in fear. I chuckle to myself maybe he will think before he speaks now.

"Hey Char will you hold on to this for me?" I ask her throwing her Peter's man hood.

Char grins evilly, "I'll hold on to it for you aright"

I grin right back at her. Everyone is not laughing their heads off. Peter is looking really scared. After everyone had settled down the questions start again.

"Did you keep an eye on us?" Daddy asks

"Yes. I never really left you", I reply

"You saved Esme", Daddy states

I smile at him, "Yes I was the one that saved Mum. I got the vision when I was in the Amazon and I knew I couldn't let that happen. So I rang her and I talked her through the fight"

Daddy comes over to where I sit on Emmett's lap and hugs me tightly.

"Thank you so much", he whisperers in my ear

"There is no need to thank me" I reply as he lets me go

"Bella do you know why we didn't see Vladimir at the fight?" Father (Marcus) asks me

I grin, "Because he is dead"

"He's dead", Caius echoes

I nod and grin again.

"How?" Daddy asks

"I was always going to get my revenge on him. It was just a bonus that he happened to turn up when I was in Romania", I reply smiling

"You're the one that saved Didyme, Sarah and Natalie", Rosalie shouts

"Yes. I got a vision of Didyme being held in the Romanian castle. I didn't know it was her at the time. I didn't know about Sarah or Natalie either until I was there. When you guys called me I was in the middle of hunting one of the Romanian minions. That was the fight that you heard. At the castle once I knew it was Didyme, Sarah and Natalie and who they were related too I knew I had to get them out no matter what the cost. I managed to get them out of the castle. That's when the guards attacked me. Let's just say they are all dead. Then Vladimir appeared and decided to attack me. He didn't think I'd put up a fight. Boy did he get a surprise", I say grinning

"You're the one that burned down the Romanian Castle", Demetri says

I laugh, "Yes that was me. I needed to destroy the bodies so I just burnt down the whole think"

Everyone laughs again except Peter who was still pouting.

"You got us here. How long did you stay afterwards?" Didyme asks

"I stayed for Christmas", I reply softly

Realization comes across all of their faces again besides Jasper

"You're the one that gave us the presents", Daddy says

"Yes. I hoped you liked all of them", I ask nervously

"We loved them sweetie", Mum says coming over and hugging me tightly

"Thanks for my kitten Aunty Bella", Natalie says smiling at me

I smile at her, "Are you taking go care of her?"

"Yes I am. Can I show you?" Natalie asks excited

I laugh, "Maybe later"

"Bella needs to rest now", Rose says pulling Natalie back into her arms

"Bella when did you find this bracelet?" Didyme asks me

"When I first arrived in Volterra. Something told me to hold on to it so I did. I knew when I first saw you again that it was time that it was returned to you", I say

"Thank you", Didyme replies softly

"You're my mother. You don't need to thank me", I reply

"Really?" she asks

"Yes. Marcus is one of my fathers so that makes you one of my mothers", I reply

Didyme looks at me for a second then comes over and gives me a hug. Once she let's me go I let them throw questions at me again.

"Bella where were you when you called about wanting to know where Maria was?" Demetri asks me

"You sounded really down", Jane adds

I take a deep breath and say, "I had just arrived in Forks and I was sitting by Charlie's grave. After the call I walked to La Push as soon as I saw Jake I collapsed. Grief finally catching up with me. I had a complete breakdown"

Everyone looks at me with concern when I say this.

"Trust me guys I'm alright now", I say softly

They all look at me not believing me.

"The pack, and Tony talked some sense into me. So I'm alright now", I reply smiling slightly

"Why were you late to the battle?" Benjamin asks

"A group of newborns had split of from the main group and we took care of them", I explain

"Do you remember the battle? Because when I go to the major I don't always remember what I do", Jasper asks

"Yes I remember the battle. It wasn't clear at first but all my memories have returned. I remember killing Victoria, Maria and Charlie", I say

"Are you ok with that?" Daddy asks me with a concerned look on his face.

"Yes. Your more my family then Charlie ever was. As soon as Charlie attacked you he was doomed. I would have killed him myself if the Commander hadn't of taken over. In a way I did kill him myself", I explain to them

They all nod in understanding but I can tell they are still worried about me. I'm just going to have to give them something so they are not worried about me.

"Alec, Demetri, Felix, Afton, Santiago", I say their names sweetly

"Yes Bella?" they all reply

"What happened to my room?" I ask them innocently

They all look at each other in fear then they run and jump out of the window. They can run, but I will catch them…
