I woke up to Bella shaking me. "What is it Bella?" she looked at me panicked.

"We need to go to mum's house. James has her Mary. Please come with me" Bella begged whispering. "Alice had a vision of the old ballet studio that I went to when I was a kid. He changed course. He realised that the Cullen's were leading him on a false course" Bella explained. I was scared. My mum never really liked me but that didn't mean that I wanted her to get killed by a Vampire. I got out of bed quickly.

"As much as I don't want mum to die or get hurt, what makes you think that we will do much better? What makes you think that mum will survive?" I asked her, someone had to think rationally. Bella looked at me exasperated.

"Alice and Jasper are downstairs checking out and getting on a plane for us. Now you are coming with me to save our mum" Bella said tugging at my arm and out of the room and the hotel. I wanted to call out to Alice and Jasper, so they could stop Bella from being so stupid. But a twist on the grip Bella had on my arm and the fiery glare that she gave me was enough to keep me quiet. I wish that I had the courage to do scream to the Alice and Jasper but what Bella said to me made me feel guilty. "Don't you not care that our mums in danger?" she said accusingly "I mean I know that she's never really shown much of an interest towards you because you chose Charlie. But she's our mother!" she screamed at me.

I decided to stay silent as we don't need to argue at this time. Plus I hope that isn't what she really thinks and it's just the stress of James hunting us down to kill us that has made her say such a cruel thing. I just lowered my head and let her drag me to a taxi. We were silent the whole ride. I may never have talked back to her about her little comment but that doesn't mean I have to be nice and talk to her. We pulled up at Bella's old ballet studio. Why are we here?

"Bella?" I asked her as we got out of the taxi

"Yeah, James took her mother here. We have to go in and he won't hurt her" she said as we walked into the ballet studio.

"You told me we were going to mum's house, not the ballet studio; which meant that you lied to me back in the hotel. Didn't you?" I asked her.

"Yeah, he already told me. I just thought that would be the best way to get you to come with me. Surely dying in the place of someone you love is a good way to go?" Bella asked me. I just looked at her incredulously; doesn't she not remember that our mother couldn't care less about me? So why would I die for someone that hates me?

"Sure but what about me? She's never cared. So who am I dying to save? Dad is safe" I argued.

"Mum does care about you Mary. She just never knew how to show it since she left you with dad all those years ago" Bella replied. I gave up; we were just delaying the inevitable anyway. I knew as soon as we walked through those doors that we most likely are never coming back out. It was a dark room that was covered in mirrors. This is creepy. "Mum!?" Bella called.

"Bella... Bella, where are you?" mum called out.

"Mum?" Bella ran towards a cupboard. But when she opened it there was no-one there. It was just a video of Bella hiding in the ballet cupboard talking about how she sucked. Well we were just tricked by the Vampire by a stupid video that he got from mums house.

"You were such an annoying child. Weren't you Bella?" James said as he appeared from the mirrors. "Mary, how lovely to see you dear. You weren't in the house you mother owned. Why is there no trace of you?" James asked tauntingly.

"She never cared. I grew up in Forks" I told him defensively

"So how are you here with your sister?" James asked

"She tricked me. I thought that we were going to mums and guilt tripped me more like into coming with her to die" I told him spitefully. Bella winced at my words knowing that I was right. James nodded and smiled.

"See Bella, she's smart she knew that she was going to die as soon as she came in here and yet you still did. I smelt her when she came in and all I smelt was defeat and acceptance. Whereas with you Bella I smelt hope and determination. You thought that you get away alive didn't you?" James told her, I stared at him with a blank expression. Bella looked down scared and guilty.

Suddenly James grabbed me by the hair and threw me across the room. I noticed he had a camera and he turned to Bella and done the same to me. I felt blood coming from my head and black spots in my vision. I heard her scream and heard people fighting. All I could see was blurred images. I felt light-headed. "Edward, you need to suck the venom out" Carlisle told Edward in the distance. They sounded so far away. I then came back to when I felt hands around me, picking me up. I felt heat and I heard screams and the smell of burning. I rolled my head to the side and completely blacked out.

LATER THAT NIGHT

I heard beeping and I opened my eyes slowly to bright white room. Not the best thing to see when you wake up. "Hey baby girl" I heard my father's voice. I reached my hand out and he grasped it in his.

"What happened daddy?" I asked him groggily. I finally managed to focus my sight on him. He looked so tired and his faced creased in worry lines.

"You were with your sister in a hotel room where Carlisle and Edward came to visit to apologise to Bella about what happened so that she could come back home. She grabbed you and ran down the stairs, she tripped and fell which caused you to fall and hit your head on a concrete step. Bella went down a few flights of stairs before going through a window" he explained. To be honest it sounded quite believable, so the Cullen's managed to conjure a story to cover up James's attempt at killing us.

"Sounds joyous and painful" I said to dad sarcastically which caused him to smirk.

"Hey?" I heard a feminine voice say, I looked from my dad to find my so called mother standing in the doorway.

"Wouldn't you not rather be visiting Bella dear mother?" I asked thickly. She looked down

"Bella is talking with her boyfriend and I thought I would go and see how my baby is doing" she said.

"Your baby? I have never been yours! You have never cared about me mother! I am dad's baby and that's it. He's been there for me all these years whilst supporting Bella too. You have never been there for me. It takes it for me to hit my head on the stairs for you to finally take proper notice of me!" I cried with tears in my eyes. She flinched at my words.

"I appreciate what you did for your sister. How you have supported her despite our past"

"Mum I done that for dad and my sister. My choices have nothing to do with you" I told her straight. She began to look angry then.

"You're my daughter. I carried you. Show me some respect!" she shouted at me.

"Why should I? You never acknowledged me before. Yes you carried and gave birth to me, but it takes more than that to be a mother. Sarah Black was more of a mother to me, she still is and she's dead!" I shouted back at her. Dad held me back so I wouldn't strain myself in my bed trying to get to my mother.

She had tears in her eyes. It was her own fault. It sounds harsh but it's the truth. She has just never had the guts to face it and admit that she hasn't been here. Maybe if she did and apologised sincerely then maybe I would consider trying to make a better relationship with her. She left the room in tears. I took a deep breath as tears were running down my cheeks.

"Shh, it's okay baby girl. I'm here, I will always be here" my dad soothed and he held me in his arms.

"Thank-you dad"
