Warnings: This chapter marks the last one for the end of the prologue leading into Twilight then the chapters are going to shift back and forth from the original text of my original story to new foundations for the first seven chapters as it begins in the first story, but the focus is going to be in the pack, she's less fixated on Edward and is spending more time around her father, friends and the packs and council.
Also as the story begins their future versions are going to feel their memories start changing with every change as it gets started, as Edward starts getting ostracized from this point forward, he's involved, just not the focus of her love life now, as he begins to become the menace and antagonist in the story, and now on with the show...
Disclaimers: Twilight doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to Stephenie
Chapter 4: The Cullens and Charlie Get the Truth
"You ever wonder where that bracelet I had came from or why I had a toddler version of it wrapped around my wrist in that photo on the wall?" I asked and Alice nodded. "It's a clan bracelet, my family color was green, here look at this." I said and passed it to them and her eyes narrowed as Emmett said it for her. "Red, sky blue, burgundy and navy blue, who's who exactly if they're mixed in with yours and why is that burgundy cord intertwined with yours, if you said Jake was your soul mate and betrothed?" Emmett asked and I dropped them bomb to them then.
"Sam is red, Jared is blue, Jake is burgundy and Seth and Leah are sky blue, I'm green, and between them, because our families have been friends for generations, dad grew up hanging around the tribe and my mother was a member on this side of the line. To answer the second question, my cord was tied in with Jake's, because we were betrothed when he phased finally." I said and Alice leaned forward at that.
"He read Billy's mind to learn this, this would be the day before we met you for real last year and with that, that's why he had me monitoring your actions?" she said with a growl angrily. "Yes, when he locked gazes with Billy the day before I met the six of you, he read everything in his mind and realized that when Jake phased and imprinted on me, that was it, after that he broke one of your biggest rules in that treaty you agreed to with Ephraim." I said and I knew they got what what I meant as Carlisle said it with a furious tone in his voice as he answered me and I knew he was beyond furious at what I said, before he could though Emmett answered that with a growl.
"Illegal weapons, we agreed to three key things in the treaty with Ephraim and Levi that day, alright what was the big one if the guys were that pissed off and Paul nearly ran me down when we tried to catch her?" he asked and I sighed. "Before I answer that I want you to keep your temper, dads gotten a practical demonstration with them so don't break the coffee table when I tell you this okay." I said and they all nodded as Jasper asked about that then and leaned forward about it.
"He knows about the pack?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah he saw the adult pack in the flesh two weeks ago, but he doesn't know about your back history with the quartet yet or that you're the quintet they met yet." I said and they nodded as Carlisle looked at me in shock. "The sextet are back on active duty, I thought they're retired now?" he asked and Jake answered that one. "Reddy' awake, but till we get his spine fixed, he's out right now, he's just doing his job as adult alpha right." he said and they nodded.
"Makes perfect sense here, where I'm concerned honey, my uncle is coming home in the next month so you'll be meeting him face to face, but Billy is retired from the paraplegia, alright I get that, he's partially active, but he's beyond pissed that Edward broke one of your key points in the treaty where I'm concerned." I said and Emmett answered that with a furious looks as he went into it them, before he could Quil looked at them.
"Are we what the quartet looked like when you met them, or did they look like our fathers at the time?" Quil asked and Rose answered. "They looked like Billy, Joshua, Harry and your father Quil, and how is it you guys got their colors anyway?" she asked and Sam answered that. "Hereditary, they've been passed from father to son for four generations, if you're wondering why we got the lighter versions to their colors, it's because we're still cubs." he said and they nodded as Emmett chuckled.
"Makes sense for our original nickname where you're concerned, we've called you pups for months since we found out you reactivated, so you're still cubs though you're young adults, if I'm remembering that correctly since our encounter with your great grandfathers, you've got five years, while the duo got seven and the others got nine to ten years, before you reach adulthood, wolf style here, but to take it back to the original conversation, is there a reason he didn't tell us, this is illegal in our treaty."
"By deliberately breaking orders that the omega gave us is illegal enough but then to continue breaking them and then lie to us, why would he do that, you were meant to be friends with us when you met us, but Jake is your soul-mate, why the hell would he do that, he could have killed all three of you by going to the Volturi?" he asked and I explained it, knowing he was going to break something when I did.
"He's crazy jealous now, Billy was getting ready to tell me everything when Jake sent me that message for them, and Edward heard everything in Billy's head and learned exactly what it would mean if I learned who I really am and started using that illegal hunting weapon." I told him and I knew he nodded as Carlisle read through that as he answered me, his tone turning from concentration to outrage and I knew he figured it out.
"One of our weapons that we agreed to never use on humans, there is only one weapon I can think of that can make a human look like they're recovering from a serious illness or looking like they were recovering from a narcotic withdrawal and it's the Eros, which is a narcotic like pheromone, that is like heroin, and it's against the treaty and I forbid the quintet to ever use it, because we never hunted humans, I decided on this code of honor back when Jack the Ripper was still running loose, before I moved to America."
"We don't hurt or hunt humans and I told Ephraim that we would never use it, hurt a human or go on their land, we were safe, we don't hurt humans and we never use our hunting weapons on the humans we're protecting and Edward broke that rule in it, when I said that they were to never do that, he nearly lost it in your biology class then."
"He used the Eros on you, that could have killed you when we left, this pheromone is like heroin and over exposure takes a month to four to get it out of the system of the victim if the vampire fell in love with him or her, honey, and he used it on you, right after he learns that he's going to be thrown out of your life because you're the mate of the great grandson of the original elder, Chief and Alpha of the wolf pack, and this results in nearly killing you, him and Alice when he tries to kill himself by going to Aro and Caius?"
"Alright let me get this straight, he overheard Jake tell you that his father, Harry and the council were doing what we were doing and were protecting you from a distance, and dosed you with it, seven months of this and the accident at your birthday party results in his tearing us out of your life, and you pass out in the woods from suddenly going cold turkey, that's the reason why you looked you were recovering from pneumonia and you did a bit of reckless cliff-diving and you look like you'd been put through the ringer when I finally get a look at you when you go over the decision of changing you."
"And this results in the boys fighting over you till you agree to marrying him, because you've got an axe hanging over your head by Aro and Caius, alright that's not happening, what is going on if you called us and wanted to tell me this and why the hell would he do that exactly, we considered you part of the family and if I'd known sooner I would have killed him myself for nearly killing you at the time, if the wolves were that furious with us when we joined forces and he and Jake were fighting over you." he asked and I explained it to him, knowing they were going to kill Edward for this when they heard everything, before I could though Sam looked at him in shock.
"Jack the Ripper, you were around for that?" he asked and he nodded. "Yes, I was created fifty years prior to that, it took everything I could think of to destroy myself till I decided on prohibition when I attacked a venison and that did it for me, I could live off animals and control my thirst, after arriving in London I began my job as medical doctor and learned every medical procedure that was needed and helped Scotland Yard in hunting him down, I'm Catholic, I maybe a vampire, but I'm not throwing away my humanity out of crazed jealousy, I thought of her as my daughter since we met." he said and Sam nodded as Jake looked at him.
"When were you created exactly?" he asked and he smiled at their eagerness to know this information. "Mid 1700's, my father was a clergyman and was in on the old witch-hunt, basically werewolves, witches and vampires, and I got attacked by a red eye, I spent a year trying to think of a way to save my soul and was repressing my hunting instincts, till finally a stray venison got too close to my hiding place and I took it down, but that's when I realized I could hunt for animals, animal blood dilutes the color in the eyes till it reaches the color we have in our eyes."
"We maybe gold eyed, but it's best not to leave fresh blood lying around or one of us could have an accidental outburst, which explains the birthday party last year." he said and they nodded as he went for one of his questions. "What was the message that Billy and Harry gave her that caused him to break my orders exactly, and start breaking Renee's request she told me what she was to your fathers?" he asked and they sighed.
"They said were watching, by them, I think he meant the sextet and Sam's trio before our quintet started that summer and the following winter." Jake said and he nodded. "Direct translations, if we left you'd take over protection in her case. We may have been dealing with fast recoveries here, but if something happened and we left, you'd take it over, I agreed to that with your mother, she also made it clear if he broke that rule we'd be banished from Forks and the treaty was moot if he did do this.""
"She made it clear this wasn't turning into a tug a war for your love, but he did that anyway and she's going to kill him when she finds out, okay, why is it you knew how to deal with Paul when Jake was hurt?" he asked and I got ready to drop the bomb then. "I've seen his dad like that all the time, the guys are cub versions of their fathers, Jake and Paul are what my godfather and Elliot were like at our age, and with that in mind."
"You ever wonder why I able to relax so quickly when I saw you in action during the game or why I considered it normal when I was with the pack, how I knew my way around to not get my father suspicious of you at the time?" I asked and she answered me at that. "Yeah we did, but why, how could you relax that quickly in a world filled with fantasy creatures?" Rosalie asked and I dropped the bomb on her.
"I was born into 'this' world, and I've seen it in action for eighteen years, but my starting point was with the council, dad's best friends happen to be members of the tribe he raised me with the young pack, they're my childhood friends, eighty percent of the pack were members of my childhood gang, but here's the truth now, because it explains why it didn't bother me when I saw you in action at the game at the time."
"I've known for seventeen years what the pack and tribe are, and it's because the council, more specifically Billy, Harry, Josh and Daniel, they phased in front of me repeatedly from my toddlers years, but those memories were faded till now, because I hadn't seen them in five years, but that's where it gets worse in his attitude Carlisle, he's considered them dangerous in my case, since he got back and you returned to Forks, because he's been hiding this from you for eighteen months, but that's not true whatsoever and here's why, they're my adoptive family and relatives."
"Ever since the prom, he's been keeping me away from Billy and Jake so Billy couldn't tell me the truth, and that is that he and Sue are my adoptive guardians." I said and I then heard Esme's tone turn deadly as she asked the next question. "What do you mean adoptive guardians, I didn't see the look in his eyes when it came to you, but Carlisle said he looked like he'd given up, but why though?" she asked and I told them the truth.
"Billy's my godfather, and Harry and his family are my adoptive guardians, Sue happens to be my godmother, Edward torched my bonds with them by doing what he did, because, essentially by falling in love with me he killed Harry, through the heart attack, because of Victoria, which explains Leah's attitude with you, she's furious he got taken from her and the imprints, on top of the fact I'm her adoptive sister, because her mother is my godmother, but that brings it to the next question and I need to know, because of what you told me about the immortal children, with me still human right now."
"What's the penalty for getting pregnant from a vampire while you're still human exactly?" I asked and I could tell he wasn't expecting that as he answered me. "We never encountered that problem before, but the Volturi prohibited creating immortal children when they're younger than eight years old." he said and I felt my stomach turn over at that. "They're your godparents Bella, is that how Harry was killed, Seth and Leah phased at the same time right, before I came to investigate when you and Jake filled me in on Victoria and Laurent?" Alice repeated with a furious growl and I nodded.
" Yes, like I said the memories faded, but it was enough to know they're not dangerous, with their children, or godchildren, and with that he had you monitoring my decisions, because he didn't want them telling me the truth and that was that I was born half Quileute, and Jake is my betrothed, if I hadn't had that run in with those nomads and the Volturi, I would have activated the contracts when I hit eighteen and he phased and imprinted on me, and 'we' would have become friends, but he did too much damage to both tribes out of his greed, jealousy and hatred, which brings it to the next thing."
"Carlisle I got some information from Billy I hadn't known before. My great grandmother was Quileute, do you remember when you met Levi?" I asked and he quickly answered that. "Yeah I do, what did you find out if you're telling me this now?" he asked and I gently answered him. "His wife is my great aunt, as is David Trueheart's wife, to put it bluntly, I'm one of them, through my grandmother and mother, my great grandmother is the youngest of three sisters and the twins married the duo right after you met them."
"You remember when you said I'm choosing wrong Rosalie, well I'm changing things now." I said and I could heard the relief in her voice at that as she answered me. "How exactly, to do that you would have to go back to the day we met when you started school with us?" she asked and I smiled as I answered me. "The spirits sent me a message and are sending me back to the day I moved here, I'm changing things, whatever information, I learn and I get the feeling I'm in the body of my seventeen year old self when I do this, I'll be meeting both of you face to face at the hospital."
"Everything I learn, I'm not keeping it from you and Carlisle, but we're becoming the friends we should have now and you and the pack can become friends rather than allies, through this." I told her and I could hear the smile in her voice. "In other words, you send me a message and I drop the cold demeanor with you and we work things out, before your mate phases the following winter, not a bad idea Bella, okay with that."
"The day of the car accident is when we combine forces, you keep you link open so we can talk, I can hear you, but the others can't till Emmett starts getting involved as well and you added him to the mental phone caller list if the bastard starts hounding you about the guys." she said and I nodded in agreement as Emmett changed the subject. "What's the other catch exactly, if he told you this exactly?" Emmett asked and I dropped the bomb then, knowing he and Jasper were going to tear a limb off for this.
"The council are retired werewolves themselves guys, that's why they're in charge of the pack, Harry's a retired hunter or I should say werewolf, because he was suffering hypertension for the better part of ten years, since my brother was born, Eric took off and the quintet are now active completely, as for the reasons why they wound up retired here, it's more an issue of quitting because of personal problems, physical and emotional, but, starting with Billy here, because he's the leader of the adult pack."
"Billy was retired due to the car accident and my uncle retired when Embry was born and left for some reason, while Eric decided he'd had enough and took off for Fresno when I was twelve at the time. As for the unasked question, my blood connection are the Josh and Daniel, their wives are my aunts, but that's where the Quileute connection is."
"The guys I'm related to are Sam, Jared and Embry, Josh Uley is Sam and Embry's father and Daniel Trueheart happens to be Jared's, you met their grandfathers when you first came here, their wives are my great grandmother's older twin sisters." I said and he quickly answered me at that, before he could though I passed him the necklace I had.
"That was given to me by Daniel Trueheart for my first birthday, between the necklace, the bracelet and my stuffed wolf, which was Billy and Jake in wolf form, as well as my middle name, and it means wolf, every single one pointed out the fact I was half Quileute and the two connected to me through blood were the Truehearts and the Uleys." I added and his eyes widened at that.
"Levi Uley and David Trueheart, they're related to you through your great aunts?" he asked and I nodded as I answered him. "Yes, to put it bluntly I'm half Quileute myself, I'm the human version of a werewolf Emmett, I'm an omega, if you've got you're own version of me in the vampires, I'm a peace keeper and with that, I'm the other leader to the pack, but that's what's really going on here if Billy and Harry were protecting me when I came into contact with the Volturi, but to do that we need to reverse this, and the only way to do that is by going back to when I first saw the five of you." I said to him and I went to the next one then as I thought over how to ask this.
"I've got a question, how big were the original pack in wolf form exactly?" I asked and Rose answered that one as the guys leaned forward at that. "As young adults, they're the size of a horse, but as adults they're the size of a grizzly bear, why?" she asked and I went into it. "I just saw my godfather and uncles that way for real today when I went there today, like I said they phased in front of me repeatedly as a child, and with that it became normal, so that's why I relaxed so quickly when I saw them do it front me."
"Like I said, they would never hurt someone they'd considered their cub, or mate, and with that Edward was using whatever means to keep me away from them during the previous six months before the new born outbreak, dad wanted me to balance my time between them, you and the gang in school and Edward was interfering with that by messing with my truck, Jake happens to by my father's godson, he was hoping our families would become one, but Edward destroyed that by the engagement." I said and he nodded as he gently squeezed my hand as he answered me.
"You got that photo, I want to see it?" he asked and I passed it to him along with the one of me with both packs. "Good grief, they look just like the quartet we met met ninety years ago, who's who exactly?" Emmett asked and I explained it to them. "Josh is the black wolf, Daniel is the brown, Harry the sandy brown and I think Billy was the adult version of Jake in wolf form, but if they were what Ephraim, Levi, David and Joseph looked like, it's genetic." I said and they nodded as Jasper asked the next question.
"Guys keep your temper, nobody phases in the living room and I'm too close to you guys alright." I said and they all nodded as he asked the next question. "How many deaths or disappearances did we have thanks to him keeping this from us?" Jasper asked with a furious look and I told him the truth, knowing they and my brothers were going to kill.
" Leading up to the newborn out break, and the murders before the accident at my birthday party, thirty five in total, as I said Riley was her puppet as were the army, Billy suggested I tell him and the entire council everything if I go back to the day of the car accident in school, which means a shift change, and we call a tactical meeting out of earshot of any bystanders, since the three phased by that point are Sam, Jared and Paul, and with that, Carlisle, we need to keep it from getting physical after that blow."
"Though dad is going to kill when he finds out the type of broken injunctions, and though he trusts you to help, his friendships will never be terminated with the council, the real truth is the bond he has with them is that of blood brothers, they've been a trio for forty years, and between that and mom being on this side of the line it was born half Quileute, had we started early none of this would have happened and you would be friends and allies." I said and they nodded as she clarified everything I just said with a furious look.
"Who's Riley?" Leah asked and I turned to her. "You remember the expression on dad's face when he was at your house, or hear him bring up the missing persons in his conversation with your mother and Billy?" I asked and she nodded as Seth's eyes widened. "He's the newborn who was with the red head and helped create that army Jake told you about, to put it bluntly, he was like her puppet, he turned his victims and thought she was his mate, but she was only using him, to get to me, because he was from here and knew his way around the city."
"When Cullen sent Seth away from the camp, Seth was hiding behind the trees, till Riley tried to attack, and he got a hold of him." I said and she nodded and he answered that in disbelief. "He's the newborn I killed to protect her during the fight, but she used that second laceration on her arm to get their attention, and while I took down Riley, Cullen took down the red head." he said and I nodded to answer that as Sam looked at me.
"Second laceration, you mean to tell me that you used one of our histories to get their attention?" Sam asked and I nodded. "Which one was it?" Jake asked and I quickly answered that. "The story of Taha Aki and the third wife, Jasper said that for a human drinker, human blood triggers a feeding frenzy and their hunting instincts took total hold, so I just used that against them." I said and they both nodded with annoyed looks.
"Don't try that stunt twice or you could give our parents a heart attack when you have to do this a second time, especially my father, because he really will tear a limb off when he hears you're in danger and wasn't around to do anything about it, to him you're still his adoptive daughter and he's furious enough as it is right now, with that stunt you pulled last spring and that's not happening twice either." Sam said to me and I nodded to answer that as Leah changed the subject with a slight smile at that.
"Unfortunately she won't be able to try that or the cliff diving with our parents gang in one piece this time, because I'm her personal bodyguard when I get started, and with that Seth and I are taking him out together, while my father and Billy help Emmett with dealing with the redhead here." she said and sighed as she answered him.
"Alright Riley Biers, twenty others, and fourteen more in the space of six months, before the guys and I killed the Jamaican leach to protect her, what the hell is the reason for your relatives not helping us out, they could have kept the one that nearly killed Jake and me from killing us, I mean twelve good vampires and and eight fully trained werewolves would be more than enough to end the fight in twenty minutes?" Leah asked and I sighed as I explained that to her then.
"Another 'eye for an eye' incident Leah, his mate happens to be Irina and is one of the five from Denali, she said they would help on one condition." I told her and Sam turned to me as he felt the sick feeling in my heart at that statement. "What was the condition exactly if it has you looking like you're about to lose control of your stomach here?" he asked and I told them, before I could though Carlisle answered that one firmly then.
In exchange for helping us, she wanted vengeance by wiping out the pack for killing Laurent, as her medical doctor I wasn't risking a relapse emotionally, when you just healed her and we were helping with the rest and called off that idea, because I know what you mean to her and vice versa, it took another month, before we got the details and you arrived at the right time for us to join forces to protect her, but Edward destroyed that by stabbing Jake in the back with the proposal." he said and Sam nodded.
"With the fact she's my baby sister, I would have died to protect her, the same is said for Jared and Paul, and with that, our bonds as allies are resurrected Carlisle, but we need to get them into place sooner if she's going back to the day we found each other and you'll be meeting us sooner than you did." he said and Carlisle nodded as Alice repeated that with a beyond pissed off look on her face then at what I just told them.
"So allies and friendships ruined, because Edward's become a menace to the entire region out of his jealousy that you made your choice and chose Jake, I'm your best friend in our tribe and Embry and maybe Jared on the pack end, your adoptive uncle is dead, because he triggered an eye for an eye incident, and has destroyed multiple lives by becoming an incubus out of his psychological state which is going into crazy jealousy and stalker behavior." Alice summed up and I nodded in answer to that and they nodded as I turned to him to ask about the incident while I was visiting my mother.
"Emmett what really caused the near altercation between you and Paul, while I was out of town?" I asked and he sighed as he answered me as he and Paul exchange looks, knowing I wasn't going to be happy with the answer. "I was chasing her down and didn't realize I crossed the line before he barreled into me, I'm lucky I froze when I did, but I was furious at him, because like him, I think of you as my baby sister Bella, and with that, if we start early we become friends and can work together without it getting dangerous anymore." he said to me and I nodded in agreement as Esme asked the next question and I knew she was ready to go mother bear on me then as she asked it.
"What's your suggestion honey, if we start at the day of the car accident?" Esme asked and I explained it to her. "When I arrive at the hospital,you guys are going to have to capitulate with Harry and my cousins, since I'm making sure he gets a cholesterol check, because I'm having the adult pack reactivate as well, so that brings it to thirteen on protection duty for me and my father, since we're telling him the night of the game."
"From there, I'm going to divide my time between my friends in school, the tribe, and then right after I see the you of that time, your family, after that, we combine forces and work together, while I start building immunity to that pheromone, Billy said it doesn't work on a wolf-mate and I start work on honing my powers by the Embry gets started, since Embry phases that summer, and Jake does in late January to early March."
"So by the time the battles arrive and I learn what kind of threat that having children with Edward would do, if I was still human and why Irina would turn us in, we prepare and if they do decide to come here and we give them the choice, stay away from here, or we and the tribe and any witnesses we gather, we meet and if they make any type of threat we wipe them out." I said and Jasper answered me at that.
"Whatever reason for that to come up has to be valid, but I'm guessing whatever your mental power is, has to do with how you can block out mind violations, but not input, like you can with Alice and me which explains how I can handle your mood and she reads your future and with that we train you to control it and whatever power your omega abilities give, if it explains you're just as strong as we are in that case, so we stay friends and you're our adoptive sister and family here on in." he said and I nodded as Alice interjected and I heard the business like tone in her voice as she answered that.
"He's been lying to us for the last eighteen months, alright so you were born half Quileute, you're the female leader of the young pack and Jake was meant to be your future husband, but thanks to Edward, you got an axe hanging over your head, Harry is gone, Jake took off, but you called him back and we're on the edge of getting them here, if this keeps up and with that, your tribal spirits are sending you back to when you moved here last year, when we first saw each other in school."
"Alright I'm calling the wedding off, whatever is blocking him out of your head is connected to why Aro wants you as a member of his guard and why you're a magnet for the nomads, so your best bet is if we combine forces, before we did in the last eight months, so with that we start early, like, say, the day of the car accident, that will end the rivalries altogether and you get to learn more about yourself and background." Alice said and I nodded in agreement to that, before I could answer the door crashed open and Edward came in with a furious look and they all stood up.
"Alice you can't do that." he said and she growled at him at that. "The hell I can't, why did you do that Edward, you could have killed her, she's lucky to be alive from that over exposure, you know what heroin does and this is just as dangerous, the games over, I know everything you were keeping from us, so do Emmett, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle and Rosalie, because your plan to get him out of her life just backfired here, the wedding is off." she snapped and his eyes widened as he looked at me and Jake.
"The games over Cullen I'm back and we're changing things now, did you honestly think I'd never find out or she wouldn't, if not than you're dreaming, because we did, she's mine now, and you're history." Jake growled at him as Sam added on to his sentence as he, Jared, Paul and Embry moved behind us and Leah and Seth move to Jake's side and stood on both sides of us as I got started then, before I could though.
"You really thought she'd never question her bonds with us, we know and remember everything, Cullen, the show is over and with that we got the information, my brother, Jared and I are her cousins, we're her brothers and sister, the shows over, just wait till her father hears this he's going to execute you himself when he finds out." he said with a growl as I went into it as I removed my bracelet and held it up then "I spoke to Billy, Sue and the pack barely twenty minutes before I called them here, I saw the adult pack and learned everything you were hiding from me." I said and pulled my clan bracelet out.
"Do you know what this means exactly and why I had them, the wolf pedants, Billy's wariness of you, Sam and the guys hatred of you, the fact that Billy was wearing his bracelet and it had my color in it, Jake's protective love of me, or why mine has the family colors of four members of the tribe exactly?" I asked dangerously and he started to shake his head, before he sighed and nodded and I felt my anger surge then.
"You knew all this time, you destroyed me, and I'm not letting you get away with it, I'm Quileute, you've now got my anger and hatred as well and with that, I'm fixing this, my tribe spirits are sending me to the day I re-found my family, you see me and you'll never remember who I am and with that, you can't break into their heads or mine that way."
"I got the information from Billy, I know who I am, you killed my uncle, my sister's pissed at me, though we're fixing that and my mate was running as a wolf, well I'm fixing this, the wedding is off, I don't belong to you at all Edward, I belong to Jake, the next time you see me I'm his and 'we' will destroy you and the red eyed demons, stay tuned, you're my next victim." I snapped, and he tried to step forward before Emmett moved in front of me protectively as he and Rose positioned themselves next to Leah and Paul.
"My father will kill you when he hears everything if he knew the truth or what I really am, he's pissed enough that you've nearly gotten me killed five times, he hears this and you're toast." I said and before he could answer I heard the door slam and Carlisle stood up at that to head off a fight as my father walked into the room with a furious look on his face, and I knew he heard half of that conversation as he was coming in the door.
"I heard most of that when I was walking in the door, but I'm keeping it quiet, what's the deadly secret if it nearly killed you last year and why it has you looking like someone tore your heart out baby, what is it you have to tell me, I need the truth now?" he asked and I sighed as I told him then his eyes scanned the group and landed on Jake and he smiled in relief as he struck up a conversation, before we started this one.
"Son, when did you get back?" he asked and Jake gave him a hug. "She called me back, but you're about to get the reason for that, and you're not going to like it either dad." he said and dad nodded at the wording. "Dad?" he repeated with a smile and I nodded with a smile as Jake hugged me. "I chose Jake dad, the wedding is off, and the contracts are fully activated, I belong to Jake now and forever, his attempt to keep me from finding out fell apart." I told him and he nodded with a smile as he turned to me as I explained everything to him as Sam gave me a nod to give permission.
"So what caused this exactly, what made you change your mind in Cullen's case and why are both groups here?" he asked me and I explained it to him, knowing he was going to be furious at this. "I just learned the truth of what my bracelet meant dad, my betrothal contract was supposed to activate six months ago which was when Jake took on his hunter training, Edward, after doing a bit of mind rape, read Uncle Billy's mind and saw that the minute Jake started, the contracts would activate and I belong to Jake."
"After seeing that he knew he'd lose me and it lead to another violation in the treaty they had with each other, your appeal of having me with Jake and the guys was healing the emotional damage at the time and I was on the edge of choosing the pack, before he mistook that bit of cliff diving for a real suicide attempt and tried to kill himself."
"After that it turned into a tug a war, something said explicitly was never to happen, after dealing with the outbreak, he deliberately did the unforgivable, which was bring up the wedding when Jake was still in ear shot and he was in so much emotional pain that he nearly got himself killed in the accident two months ago and took off on me, and I blew off the engagement." I said and he nodded as he answered me at that.
"The bracelets, the betrothal contracts, your memory of your time with your godfather just came back finally?" he asked and I nodded. "Here, take a look at this." I said and he moved over to me and I showed him the scar. "What caused that exactly, if you wound up with a broken leg?" he asked and I explained that too as he rubbed his thumb over it.
"The murders were due to a trio of homicidal maniacs that the family was investigating as well, and the leader did this to me, Edward turned me into a magnet for these parasites and I mean that word as in literal parasites, the trauma was enough to trigger P.T.S.D., which explains the frequent nightmares leading up to my birthday and got worse, because it wasn't nightmares, he had me fixated on him which explains the catatonia, just before Jake started healing me after Edward took off and took the family with him." I said and took a deep breath as I said it then.
"You remember when Billy ask you if you had any new information, and your request to have them tell the reservation kids to stay out of the woods at the time." I said and he nodded as he asked the next as his face turned red in anger. "Yes I do, but why did he, Harry and your parents need to know that exactly?" he asked and Sam answered that.
"Billy and the council were also involved in hunting down those maniacs and killers, and by that I mean parasites, and I mean as in literal parasites, which explains our prejudices for the Cullens, because it wasn't social prejudices, but species Charlie, our fathers were retired hunters hunting down what we considered leaches." he said and dad nodded as he looked at the eight members of my family.
"And the ones done supposedly by oversized wolves, Billy said you were descended from wolves, he meant that literally?" he asked and the guys and Leah nodded. "Yeah we are, we're protectors and hunters, I'm the leader of the gang, after Cullen took off, I decided she was going under our protection during her healing process, that photo you saw on the desk in her room was us a month into her recovery, before Harry was killed."
"The bond was falling back into place, which explains why Billy suggested you having her over nearly every weekend and you unknowingly snapped her out of it by using Renee to do it, but she argued to stay here, and we healed the damage he did to her." Sam said and he nodded as he looked at me to ask the next question.
"What happened exactly to cause this exactly, if you were nearly killed at the time and the council put you under their protection after Carlisle left?" he asked I explained it to him. "By killing the leader he triggered an 'eye for an eye' incident, the leader's girlfriend became obsessed with me and turned into your stereotypical homicidal maniac and decided on I was going to be taken from him, that she and..., and a friend went on a killing spree, and Embry and Jake started on their hunting training to take them out."
"Which explains the thirty five kills in the space of nine months, the fifteen hunters in the woods and the twenty five missing or dead on top of them, my statement on the over sized wolves after seeing them in action and why Riley went missing in the first place, my being gone for three days, and looking like I was suffering from pneumonia in the first place, and my frequent nightmares over the last eighteen months, her friend was more than just a parasite, but bordering on rapist." I told him softly and he nodded, and I could tell they could hear the hesitancy in my voice in the case of Laurent.
"Did this character try to hurt you in that way baby, because if he did, I'm killing him a second time?" dad asked as Carlisle's eyes narrowed and I nodded as their eyes flared up with a furious look. "The girlfriend's intention was to do a lot of damage before the kill, and when I told Jake and the guys this they turned into my bodyguards, before things started getting out of control." I said and his narrowed in rage as he went to the next one as Emmett tried to keep from breaking the table as Alice stood up at that.
"How close was it exactly guys?" she growled angrily and Sam answered that. "She was interrogating him and then we heard what the redhead's plans were for her and he was about to attack her when I showed myself to him, looking like a beyond furious black wolf when I did, and then the guys came out behind me, but we stopped him, by making it clear we weren't extinct." he said and she nodded as Charlie turned to us then.
"What the hell did Edward do to you to cause those nightmares baby, if Carlisle is as furious as I am at him for whatever you told him just now, what with being your medical doctor and former father-in-law, and would this be the reason for all the reckless stunts last spring as well?" he asked with a dangerous growl and Carlisle explained it to him.
"He dosed her with a narcotic like pheromone that we have for seven months before the betrothal contracts activated Charlie, she was in withdrawal for four months, which explains the frequent nightmares you were dealing with and the screaming, she was in withdrawal from that pheromone, had the guys on the council known sooner."
"Sue would have taken over because she knew how to counteract and deal with it, through the tribal knowledge and we'll explain that, but it explains Billy's reaction as well when you told him as well and with that, this was a portion of the treaty that was between us and Billy when we moved here, because his grandfather met our relatives when your father was her age, which was under no circumstances were we to use our hunting techniques on innocents, because we're defenders of the innocent against the real garbage running around the peninsula at the time, but she didn't know what he did."
"They didn't know what he did, or why she looked like she did, but were healing the damage the drug did, before Alice came to check on her and saw her complexion and told me, Edward tried to kill himself when he thought she committed suicide, by that bout of cliff diving, which half drained her, and between that, the recovery from the withdrawal and her emotional recovery I was working at making sure she healed up and took over again, as I took care of healing the rest of it and her body triggered a relapse, because it traded one addiction for another and turned it in for a craving of adrenaline when she did that jump off the cliff and she nearly drowned in the process."
"I took back her medical care, to help her heal, in both ways, but she's got an axe on her head thanks to some old acquaintances of mine in Italy, and it involves the multiple murders last year leading up to how she wound up in that cast, and why Riley went missing as well, and the thirty four missing or dead victims as well on top of him." he said and dad nodded with a furious look as he looked at the six of them and my relaxed demeanor with them and knew they would never hurt me.
"Pheromones, literal parasites, the treaty, the look on my trio's faces when it came to her after you left, the bracelets, the stuffed wolf and a bunch of other clues, alright, if she's been hiding this stuff from me when I'm just as good as she is at figuring things out, it points to the fact that those lunatics are a bunch of parasites, and I'll take that to mean vampire, because no human can drain the body that easily without a fight and the treaty with your clan or tribe was because you were another version, and from the gold in your eyes, you're the good ones Billy had a slight wariness to and it brings it to them."
"So you're the cold ones Billy told me about in their legends, the quintet his grandfather met when my father was fifteen?" he asked and Alice answered that. "Yes, Carlisle created that treaty with Ephraim, we're vampires it's true, but we're the good kind, we don't hurt humans, we and another coven like ours, we are the ones dedicated to protecting humans from our kind and the real parasites you arrest, like the quartet that attacked those girls, that pheromone was forbidden as well, dad told us to never use it against humans." she said and he nodded as he looked at my stuffed wolf as he asked.
"And the oversized wolves, would they have any connection to us and why I kept that stuffed red wolf in her bedroom on her bed, let alone his saying you were descended from wolves, boys, Leah?" he asked and I answered that one, before I could Sam said it for me. "The black shape the hunters saw in the woods was me Charlie, the wolves you were hunting are us." he said and dad looked at him in shock. "You guys are the oversized wolves who hunted down one of the red eyes doing the murders?" he repeated and I nodded as I answered that as Jake wrapped his arms around me.
"The wolves are the guys dad, they're werewolves, my memory of the early years are back completely, that grizzly sized red wolf you saw me with is Billy, the stuffed wolf was him and Jake in wolf form, before the car accident that put him out, Harry was the same, as were Uncle Josh and Uncle Daniel." I told him and he nodded. "Your memory of the wristbands are back completely now honey?" he asked and I nodded and he nodded.
"If I learned this eighteen years ago, nothing would change my blood brother bond with the guys, let alone if I'd met you sooner, the quartet in our family gang were Harry, Billy, Josh and Daniel, your mother tied that bracelet around your wrist when you were a year old, and never took it off, she let me have you every summer for ten years and you grew up with the young pack, before the repeated trips, you come home and things get started, Cullen here starts screwing with you emotionally, which I would have killed him for had I known sooner, so let me sum this up, so I know why you looked like hell the last fifteen months after the accident at the ballet studio."
"So Edward dosed you with a narcotic like substance, to keep you away from a man who's like my brother and keeping him from telling you the truth of your background, which is you're engaged to the future chief of the tribe, and my godson is a hunter, or I should say oversized wolf, who's got the job of hunting down these red eyed demons."
"He brings up the wedding to you when your true mate is barely out of ear shot and this sends him on vampire killing spree, before your sister nearly kills herself fighting one of them and he nearly gets killed himself in a so called motorcycle accident, which explains why he looked like been hit by a truck, when in fact one of the red eyes, that were one of the missing victims, who is now a vampire and it breaks half the bones in his body."
"You get told that if you're not changed they'll kill not only you, but me and the entire town and you chose becoming immortal and tell Jake you're giving him up to protect him, and this results in breaking both your hearts and my godson was now running around as an oversized wolf to escape the pain but you got him home, because of this little bastard and my brother is dead, because he turned you into a magnet for these red eyed demons, he died, because one of those demons nearly got the drop on me in the woods and he saved my life, but it caused a heart attack, is that what happened in March?" he asked and I nodded as he turned and looked at Edward with a furious look.
"What happened, why do you look like you were crying, baby?" he asked and I sighed as I told him. "My memories of Harry are back completely dad, I've been holding it in for six months since the funeral, I didn't go, because I didn't want to admit he's gone for good, I was looking at my pictures and saw several of him and me together, before it came out now." I told him and he nodded with a beyond furious look at that as he turned Edward then, and I could tell he was now ready to kill him himself then.
"If you thought I'd never learn what my friends are, think I'd consider them a danger and have them shot, you don't know me at all pal, they're my best friends, nothing will change things between us and nothing will and with that in mind, I'd rather half a werewolf for a son-in-law than cruel, emotional damaging vampire determined to destroy my daughter to save himself from losing her to your rival, said rival my godson."
"You son of a bitch, I'm not like you, but I can guarantee that if I was I'd help Carlisle and my blood brothers destroy you, get the hell away from my daughter." He snapped as I pulled a lighter out of my pocket and moved it close to Edward's clothes and he backed up in fear at that. "Get out of my house, dad I'll explain it, but stay out of range." I said and he moved to me as Carlisle took it from there with a dangerous look on his face.
"Stay away from her you son of a bitch, you lost, not only her, but us as well, you're a rogue with no family, hand over the tribal wrist band you're a nomad now." Carlisle growled with a dangerous tone in his voice and I shook my head as Emmett positioned himself on one side of me and Rosalie and Esme on the other with furious looks at him.
"Don't bother, I'm getting sent back, and I'm telling them everything, including the Eros, and we're changing everything, before any of this happens, and you, Cullen, are getting this warning, I'm saying it for my father, godparents and the pack here, but come near me and you're getting torched, Sam is my brother as are Embry, Jared, Paul and Seth, you are toast when they hear this and with that so does my father, so watch it you asshole. Get the hell out of my house now." I said with a low and dangerous tone in voice and he quickly left the house and I heard the car drive away, as I turned to them.
"What's this meeting about, if you brought up your bracelet baby?" dad asked and I explained it to him. "I got a message from another version of us, the spirits, Taha Aki or Ephraim are sending me back to the day I came home, I'm changing the outcome and we become part of the tribe, so the tribes work as one to protect us." I said and he nodded. "So I'm not going to remember this conversation if I pick you up to bring you home and Billy gets to you first, before Cullen does, right?" he asked and I nodded.
"If I know myself, either my future self or this me is sending you and Billy a message to let you know that this me is going to be arriving the week before I start school with you guys or it's the me right now, and with that, expect a message the day you hear that I'm starting school with you, and we need to do some rearranging in the case of the starting point, I'm not sure when the spirits are sending me, but it should be before we see each other the day I started school with you, because the girls were telling me a bit about you, but whatever block I've got to keep him out you can tap into to talk to me that way, so if there's need for private conversations without outsiders listening in, we're safe."
"Carlisle I don't doubt if we meet that day in the E.R., that Sam, Jared and Paul are going to be with me this time, so we need to head off a physical fight if my father comes into the room with Harry behind him, and with that, you guys are starting early than now in terms of my protection, okay?" I asked and he nodded as he answered me, before he could though my father turned to him with a serious look on his face.
"Carlisle, if I'd known sooner, I would have kept it quiet, why didn't you tell me, I would have kept your secrets as the only human aside from my daughter to know the truth and your secret would be safe with me like it is with her, and the same is said for my friends, and they would have decided to capitulate with you on protection detail, before she took off to protect me, when we could have had my friends take her to the reservation?" he asked and Carlisle sighed as he answered him.
"No human can know what we are, my acquaintances forbid our secret getting out and if someone sees us exposed they wind up dead, we were trying to protect you, by keeping you in the dark, but between both us and the wolves, you now have the added protection you need, for both yourself and her, with her getting sent back, you'll be under both our and the wolves protection from now on." he said and dad nodded gently to that.
"Alright see you in a few days, we go back to the day he saw you, but test him with certain things like say the fan in your biology class since I remember our term for that, and keep track of each clue, but keep your guard up till you confront him, and just play along, the night of the game tell the six of us and we let the council tell your father, and I'm calling your father and sending him to Billy's house for a show and tell." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"My other suggestion here, is write down everything you remember when you came home honey, catalogue the dates, each event leading up to when we met for real and the night of the game, with your ability there has to be a side effect here, but hopefully it doesn't lead to exposing us." he said and I nodded in agreement as the pillow suddenly shot off the couch and threw itself at Emmett and smacked him in the head.
"Hey what was that for Bella?" he asked laughing and I smiled. "That's the side effect guys, he pisses me off in the emergency and something is going to get thrown across the room, so with that in mind we got two big problems if a vocal brawl breaks out in your station Carlisle, my powers and the guys going wolf right there in your station, with dad Tyler and thirty five outsiders in the room with us." I said and he nodded as they tried to keep from laughing at the demonstration.
"Nice test run Bella I've been wanting to do that to him, since we've moved in with them." Alice said laughing and we started laughing at that. "Guys if the pillows start getting thrown around the room like that you're all busted got it." Dad added with a chuckle then. "I take that happened all the time when they were Cubs huh?" Carlisle asked with a smile and he nodded
"Alright test check here." I said and looked at Rose then. 'Rose can you hear me?' I asked and she nodded with a smile. 'Yeah no problem Bella.' she thought back to me. "Alright telepathic powers I can use with you guys, but with the fact he can't hear my thought I set up a shiel so he can't hear our conversations, when I add each of you one by one to the link, dad, I think it works for humans as well, but I didn't try it yet."
"Alright, but from here I'm acting like a normal teenager from here, so expect things to shift directions after the car accident, with my school gang." I said and he answered with a smile in his voice as dad smiled maliciously and I knew he was looking for a reason to arrest Edward for everything he did to me as he answered that with a smirk in his voice.
"He tries to start a fight in there and I'm arresting him before a fight breaks out." dad said and I hid a smile as I hugged him and he tightened his arms around me then as I answered him. "With the fact I'm going back our bonds are only going to get deeper, none of the awkwardness when I came home last year, we build the bond we should have had, my place is here in Olympia and with you dad." I said and he smiled at that.
"Billy would have told me sooner if it hadn't been for the fact Edward read my back history and had Alice monitoring my actions, I resorted to skipping school and split second decisions so I could be with Jake and guys, Edward has turned into stalker and with that, I'm reversing the process, I'm with the tribe, but we become friends and allies with Carlisle and his family, you know everything, but we are the only humans who do, and with that, complete and total secrecy from here on okay." I said and he nodded.
"No doubt they're going to get more comfortable with us if he does something stupid that way like insulting your friends and the tribe, he's more prejudiced than we are with the kids pack and with that if it does turn physical I'm helping you and Harry shut it down before we have anyone getting caught in the crossfire, especially with your father in the room and he takes it seriously when it comes to altercations in a public space, though altercations in the hospital happen a lot if someone is drunk, and if that does happen, I'm going to say and make it seem like the boys are drunk and not feuding species."
"Alright, take care honey and see you soon, because if he does anything to aggravate your condition I'm grounding him for a month for nearly triggering a fist fight in my E.R. station with you in the middle of it." Carlisle said and I nodded as we exchanged hugs and they left the house, and I wrote two letters to give two both groups. "Dad, the bomb is getting dropped the night I left town, which is two months after I move back, okay." I said and he nodded as he answered me, as he looked at the photograph than.
"So my best friends were werewolves, and I didn't even know it, well that explains the four wolves you were always with as a baby and toddler every summer, with the fact I'm getting the truth, in reverse order, I'm heading off the animal hunt."
"If they want me as the chief to both departments I'm taking the job, and I get you back for good now, good grief, so this is why Renee left me, she didn't want to live up to the fact that whatever your position, it was going to activate when Jake became a wolf, alright, the spirits are sending you back to the day you came home and from there our bond is going to get stronger, because I'm not giving you up without a fight honey." he said and I smiled as I finished the letters as I used a few terms for them.
"Who's who exactly?" he asked and I showed him the one of Billy. "The fur coloring is genetic, the horse sized red wolf is Jake and Billy is the grizzly sized one, it's the same for Seth and Harry, Sam and Uncle Josh, and Jared and Uncle Daniel, I don't know what Brady White and his father looked like, because I never saw them in wolf form and it's the same for the Denalis. Who were your closest friends out of the tribe exactly?" I asked him and he smiled as he answered me.
"I'm friends with the entire council honey, but my blood brother bond was Billy, Harry and your uncles, which explains the coloring in your bracelet, I didn't know your mother was Billy's omega till now, whatever that means, or that she was half Quileute herself." "If I had I would have agreed to the betrothal contracts automatically, alright her family was cast out, because Tala married a Caucasian and it started circulating through the generations up to you and you were supposed to marry Jake and Cullen drives a wedge between you and your cousins, as well as your godparents and the pack."
"Alright with her marrying whoever she had when they met Ephraim, that pushed her to our side of the line and it went from generation leading up to us, but with you half Quileute you're marrying him, and that causes you to get yanked back into the tribe at puberty and with that, they offer the leader position within the department, and we move to the reservation protecting you from Cullen, because they can't cross the borderline." he said and I nodded in agreement to that.
"Where's the information coming from here?" he asked and I thought it over. "Advanced knowledge, probably from Tala or the spirits and personal experience of the last eight months, but it explains the supposedly stupid statement of the cult on the reservation, the cult is the young adult pack, the terms 'protector ' and 'hunter' really meant werewolf for the ones in the know, and certain memories started coming forward after I was three months recovered from the withdrawal." I said and he nodded firmly to that.
As we were talking I grabbed two envelopes as I finished the one to the council and used a title I was going to use for Billy when Jake and I were married, and using added information and the other one to Rosalie and Carlisle, just as I finished a couple photos appeared and I put one in both letters and they disappeared and I relaxed as a portal opened up in front of me and I walked through it, not knowing where or when it was going to take me, but knew I was going to change future now.
Alright that's the last Chapter to the prologue leading into the book, from here its going to be following the pattern of the book, but focused on her time with the pack as she gets used to doing it for a second time and things start shifting directions and her relationship with Jake replaces the one she had with Edward starting the first day back. As she fakes her attitude with him, and it starts going from there.
