Part 2 - Telling the Family

After few more hours, the front door was opened and shut, and a voice called out;

"Mom, Dad I am here, where are you, what was the crisis?"

Patrick called out to his other sons and only daugther that had come over after their message about a crisis meeting at their home;

"We are in the kitchen." And Bella had awaken from her nap and sat near to Patrick and Mary, who last mentioned held Bella's hand in hers. Soon they all came in, and didnt see her at first, then Eddie said

"Ok what is the crisis, papa?" Bella smiled despite her sorrow of hearing his voice again near her, as Patrick looked over to her quickly and after a quick nod and said

"It is the Swan family." Michael said in worried tone;

"What about them, what happened?" Bella whom had been quiet said

"My parents were murdered few days ago."

Most of them gasped, as they looked over where the voice came from, and Eddie being closest he also got to see her bruised face and that she had tears in her eyes. Mary, his mother who sat next to her, wrapped an arm around her shoulders gently, as Bella cried in her shoulder.

Then many yelped out what, how. And Patrick took over, and said

"Calm down with your questions, Bella, sweetheart, do you want me to tell them, as only I and Mary knows the full story?" At that Bella nodded her head, while biting her lip in worry for what they would say or react on the news.

And so he did, and when he was done, Lesley had gone down onto her knees, as Matthew held her in warm embrace, and Michael with Ryan and Clay stood swearing up a storm. Eddie then walked over and pulled her gently up and into his arms, where she broke down in them, and he just held her in them.

His parents looked abit shocked or taken back of her reactions when she went into their son's arms, and wept in the way she did, as she whispered something in his ear, that he first stiffened then he just held her again in his arms, while rocking her gently back and forth.

What was being said there, was her pleading with him not to stop loving her or letting her go, and he promised he would never stop either of those things, for he really loved her more than just a friend, and wanted her to be his when she was ready for it. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Patrick went to answer it, while Eddie said in soft tone;

"What happened after it had happened, baby?" Bella looked up at him, and said

"I took off running, for I c-couldnt stay any longer where I didnt f-felt safe anymore. The FBI's had to be involved due to me running here and crossing state-lines."

At that he nodded and just held her gently in his arms, while his siblings sat around them, and he found a seat, and gently he sat them both down on the chair. And Patrick, his dad, came back in and two agents behind him, and they after all greeting and presenting themselves of who they were, then they turned to Bella, and asked

"We got words of what happened to your parents, divorced Charlie and Renee, and Renee's new husband, may we ask again what happened 3 days ago?"

Bella nodded, then she re-told as best she could and most of them were shocked of her tale to hear it again, while she spoke in monotone voice, Eddie rubbed her arm gently. One of them then said

"We got also hold of the rape-kit they did at the hospital in this town, and we gave that over to our labs to test out any DNA that might be found in any samples that the doctor took from you. And we are filing your complaint of rape, murder and burglary of your former father's house."

Bella nodded her head, as she then said

"What happens now, I mean what is next?" The agent, said

"We will go to Forks, and ask around for witness and also let the people know what has happened in their town, for we will need to have forensic over to the house."

Bella nodded as she then reached into her pocket, and gave keys to the agents, and said

"Those are the housekeys to the house of my father's. You will find the bodies of my father, mother and step-father in the living-room to kitchen. Where my rape happened, was in my bedroom on second floor, the door straight forward from the staircase. All of it is in same place and order."

The agents nodded then took the keys from her, as they knew she couldnt be there herself, for it held too much of the things that happened that day for 3 days ago. Eddie rubbed her arm gently, while Bella leaned back onto him. Others was in silence mode while this was going on, but his parents looked still taken back of the actions that Eddie and Bella did with each other during all of this talking, as the agent then said

"Well we should get going then, but we will phone you whenever we have an update on the case. I promise you will get your justice, Isabella."

Bella nodded and thanked them before they let themselves out of the house and get on the road to Forks, Washington. Bella slumped back onto Eddie, who took hold of her gently with his hands on her arms, and just held her while she was exhausted of everything and all the talking she done today.

After a while, he helped her up and took her back to her room and when he came back, they asked him what was going on between the two. He felt he had to tell the truth, and Bella came back after hearing it too, so she too could tell her part of it too.
