(A/N) Thanks for answering my question's the last chapter!

Bella POV
Bella sighed as she played with the food on her plate. After her... Talk with the Cullens. Allison had brought them home. Or what Bella was coming to see as her second home. Mainly because Allison was here, but she did like Allison's family too.
"Are you okay?" Allison asked, concerned, her plate already empty of food.
Bella smiled at Allison's concern. "Yeah, I'm just thinking about Alice's words. And her number on that paper."
"Well." Started Allison. "I don't know her personally. But from what you told me, and her attitude there. I think she was pretty genuine."
Bella considered Allison's words but still couldn't decide. No matter what, Alice still left without as much as a goodbye. Then again, Alice did say she needed to explain somethings. Bella looked down at the phone in her hand. Should she?
Bella was saved from deciding as the rest of the agents walked in.
"Girls, we need to talk." Said Chris gravely as they entered the kitchen.
Both Bella and Allison glanced at each other, a little concerned. What had happened?
"But first." Interjected Kate. "I need to speak to Bella. You two can talk to Allison while we talk."
Bella and Allison were now getting more and more confused. But by the looks on the adult's faces. Something serious was going on.
Bella got up and followed Kate as she left the kitchen. While she was waking, she felt her phone vibrate. Bella glanced down at the screen and frowned as she read the words on the screen. 'Tell them.' It said, which was odd as the sender had no name. And Bella didn't know what she had to tell. Though she had a sinking feeling, it was from Alice. No one else she knew was that cryptic.
"Alright, Bella." Said Kate, with the both of them now sitting down on Kate's bed. "While my brother explains to Allison about the family business. We are going to talk about a few things. Mainly about your ex... And their family."
"What about them?" Asked Bella. Now she wasn't stupid, Bella had a feeling where this was going. However, she wasn't sure how the Argent's had found out about the Cullen's being vampires. But even if they knew, Bella was not going to say anything till Late did. Just in case she was wrong and what they wanted to talk about was something different.
Kate sighed and leaned back slightly. "During dinner, when we first met you. Chris noticed a bite on your wrist. He didn't mention anything for a while; it could have been a trick of the light. But when he was sure he told us." Kate's face turned serious. "Bella, we know about the Cullen's, and about the vampire bite on your wrist."
"How?" Bella asked, pale at the memory. How had Kate known? Or any of the Argents for that matter?
"Because of what we do." Said Kate. "Where hunter's, we normally hunt Werewolves which are real by the way. And then a cold one or vampire when we run into one."
Bella stared wide-eyed at Kate. She had, of course, considered the existence of hunters. She, unlike the Cullen, 's considered if any other supernatural creatures existed. She hadn't believed Vampires were the only ones. Now she knew that there were Werewolves and Hunters.
"I know that this is a lot to take in." Said Kate after giving her a minute for the news to sink in. "But, it's true."
Bella nodded her head. "I know, I personally never thought Vampires were it. But I never thought it would be confirmed." She paused as a thought hit her. "Why are you telling me this?
"Because Bella, you were being manipulated by them." Kate Grimaced. "Cold one's Beauty and voices are used to attract their quarry. I have fallen into the trap before as well. So I know what it's like."
Bella frowned, taking in this new information. That would explain why she would give into Edward. She was a wallflower, well she was one. But being with Edward made it worse. In fact, Bella couldn't even remember a time she told him no. "Why am I still alive then?" An idea was starting to form. And it wasn't looking good.
"That..." Kate hesitated. "I really don't know. They should have killed you after you were firmly enthralled with them. But they let you go. It's mind-boggling."
"I know why." Muttered Bella in horrifying realization. "I was a pet. When Edward broke up with me, he said I was a distraction, a pet, a way for them to appear human. It was all for there act!"
"They still should have killed you before leaving, though." Kate pointed out.
Bella winced. Right the Argent's didn't know about their particular lifestyle. "The Cullen's are the vegetarians of the Vampire world. They only drink the blood of animals."
Kate gaped in shock at what she said. "How's that even possible."
Bella grinned at Kat's reaction. Did she look like that when she was told? "I know, but there leader, Carlisle. He came up with it centuries ago. And once he turned the others, he converted them to his diet. Of course, there have been mishaps. But overall, they have stuck with drinking from animals.
"Bella," Kate said after a moment. Hesitation lacing her voice. "How much do you care about these Cullen's."
"The only one I care about is Alice; she was my best friend. Even if I am mad at her at the moment. Why?" Bella asked, Confused.
"...First, let me ask. Are you sure Alice never manipulated you? Maybe using her voice to cause you t do something you didn't want to do."
Bella nodded her head a little sheepish. "Many times, but that was only for shopping. Even then, she didn't always take me shopping. I mean, sure we would go for a while. But then she would take me to different places, bookstores, movies, lunch. Alice told me that I needed to get away from everything."
Kate frowned. "Why would she say that?"
"Oh, right, you don't know. Most of the Cullen's have gifts, and Alice can see the future. Or at least potential futures." Bella said, pulling out her phone and showing the text she received from Alice.
Kate stared at the screen and nodded her head thoughtfully. "Then, she knows what we plan to do."
Before Bella could reply, her phone vibrated.
'I do.' Was written on the screen, the text sent from the same number as before.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about that. We can't fight a seer." Kate sighed, not looking happy at that fact.
'No worries, already left with my husband. You will have no interference from us. Have Bella explain the rest of our past clan's gifts.'
Kate smiled as she read the text. "You know, I may hate the supernatural. But I think I can grow to like your friend here."
"What's going on?" Asked Bella. She wasn't sure what the texts meant between Alice and Kate. Why would Alice leave the Cullens, and why would Kate worry about fighting a seer as soon as the thought crossed her mind. All the pieces fell into place. "Your planning on killing the Cullen's, aren't you."
Kate raised an eyebrow. "Yes... Is that going to be a problem? You are dating and will eventually marry into a hunter family."
Bella blushed at the mention of marriage. After her mom, Marriage was not something she thought she would want in the past. But with Allison, and if things continue the way they are. She could see that happening. She stopped that train of thought before she went further off-topic. "Other than Alice and Jasper. I don't have a problem with it. A lot has happened since I was with them, opening my eyes to things I would have never noticed then."
"Good." Smiled Kate. "I'm not sure how to feel about Alice or her husband. But they did leave, so they shouldn't be a problem. As for you... Well, make a hunter out of you yet. For now, why don't you tell me about the rest of the cold one's gifts?"
"To be honest, the only one left is my ex, Edwards gift. He can read people's minds."
Kate's mind went blank. "You dated someone who could read your mind?"
Bella blushed, embarrassed. "He couldn't actually read mine. I guess that's what started his interest. But yes, it's something I regret now. Especially now that I know, I'm gay."
"Hmm... So a mind reader... Huh. Shouldn't be too difficult."
"Why?" Asked Bella intrigued. What would they use against a mind reader? Bella probably shouldn't have been as interested as she was currently. It was her ex's family that she had once felt a part of. But after this past year. Bella didn't feel anything for them. The only one she even remotely cared about had left. Not only that, but the rest had also treated her as a pet, someone that was unimportant. Like her choices didn't even matter. So she felt no guilt in being interested in something that could harm or kill them.
Kate glanced at her. An odd look in her eyes then smiled. It wasn't her usual, teasing smile that Bella had gotten used to. This was a cold smile. "Come with me. I'll show you."
Kate led her to a back room upstairs. It was hidden in one of the unused bedrooms. "We didn't have a hidden room in this house. So we improvised."
They were in what looked to have been another bedroom. But with a wall in place hiding it from any who looked inside. From the other room. The walls inside the room were covered with weapons of all sizes. Snipers, handguns, rifles, submachine guns, and other weapons. Such as knives and bows as well. "This is incredible." Bella breathed out as she took everything in.
"I thought you might like it. Especially with how much you liked the gun show on your and Allison's first date," Kate responded with a grin. "Now, what I am going to use is this sniper here. Along with incendiary ammo." She said, pointing to the gorgeous black and silver sniper on the wall.
Bella said nothing as she admired the sniper. She didn't know what to say. All of this was incredible, and quite the information load. "What now?"
"Now..." Kate said, slowly dragging out the word. "We go downstairs and see how Allison took the news on having a family full of hunters. They should have finished by now."
As soon as Bella heard the words leave Kate's mouth, she rushed out the door and down the stairs. She was anxious to see her girlfriend again and was not sure how Allison was going to take all this. Finding out your girlfriend used to date a Vampire, along with being told the family you thought you knew are secretly hunters of the supernatural, was... Astonishing? Bella couldn't really describe it.
Entering the kitchen, Bella found Allison. Still sitting in the spot, she left her in. Allison was staring at Chris and Victoria. In shock, if her dropped jaw was any indication.
Bella winced, it looked as if they had finished talking, and Allison was still processing everything she was told. Probably not the best time to enter. Unfortunately, before she could leave, Allison recovered from her shock and noticed her.
"Bella," Allison said in a clipped tone.
"Err yeah?" Bella asked a little worried. Was Allison okay?
Allison stood and walked towards her. Still confused, Bella stayed where she was. Her confusion was slightly abated when Allison started kissing her. "Mmm..." Bella groaned into the kiss. Unfortunately, Allison broke it before Bella could really get into it.
"What...?" Bella mumbled her confusion back. She was getting sick of being confused and not knowing the full story.
Allison stared at Bella, not saying a word. Glancing at the Argent's, Bella could see the resigned expression on their faces.
"I'll be outside. See you there." Allison said, speaking to Bella for the first time since she came down.
Bella watched as Allison left the room, flinching a little when the door slammed shut. Did the kiss mean they were alright? She wasn't exactly sure how Allison felt about Bella dating a Vampire in the past. "I take it your talk didn't go well," Bella muttered bringing her attention back to Chris and Victoria
"Understatement," Chris replied, downing a glass of beer.
"How do you feel about it, Bella." Asked Victoria curious.
"It... Was a lot to take in."
Victoria nodded her head in sympathy. "I can imagine." She paused and hesitated for a moment. "Do you think you can speak to Allison for us."
"Of course," Bella said." She had already planned on doing that. "I'm sure Allison will come around eventually. She just needs some time to process everything."
Chris nodded and gave Bella a small forced smile. Whatever was discussed in this room, did not turn out well.
Heading out of the Argen's home, Bella spotted Allison's sitting down on the grass. Her head in her arms. Bella hurriedly walked over and sat down, waiting. She would let Allison decide if she wanted to talk or not.
"I feel as if my whole world has been flipped upside down." Said Allison after a few minutes of silence. "How am I supposed to act. Now that I know that I have been lied to my entire life. I mean, it's no so bad. They only lied about there profession. But what bothers me the most is how they hid all this from me: all the moving, the missed birthday's, which admittedly was more Kate than my parents. But the worst, in my opinion. Is that they never planned on telling me!" Shouted Allison in frustration. "Dad said that he had hoped for me to live a normal life, away from all the supernatural. It's the reason Dad and Kate didn't start training me to be a hunter."
Bella rubbed her girlfriend's hand in an attempt to soothe her.
"And don't think you're off the hook, either Bella. Why didn't you tell me about you dating a vampire! Demanded Allison angrily, although she did nothing to remove her hand from Bella's.
Bella frowned and stared in space. " I wasn't sure how." She confessed. "You could have thought I was insane or making it up. Not only that, after they left and I had my downward spiral. I wanted to put the past behind me - a fresh start."
"Would you have ever told me?" Asked Allison, looking away from her.
Bella hesitated but ultimately decided to be honest with Allison. "I don't know."
Allison sighed, then threaded her fingers between Bella's. "At least your being honest. I thought about it, and if I had dated a Vampire, I probably never would have told anyone. Mainly for the same reasons as yours. It's insane to think about, the supernatural, beings from books and legends being real."
"I felt the same way, still do really," Bella said softly.
Allison turned fully to face her. "Don't think this mean's I forgive you. I understand why you kept this a secret. But I'm going to need some time to think everything over."
'It's okay. Take as long as you need." Bella replied. Even though that hurt a bit, she understood why Allison needed time. At least Allison didn't break up with her.
Bella and Allison both stood up and looked at each other. Bella could see the hesitation on Allison's face and waited. It was Allison's choice. After a second, Allison leaned in and pressed her lips against hers. Bella held in a smile as they kissed. At least Allison could still kiss her.
"Bye, Bella. See you... I'll call." Allison mumbled quietly after a little hesitation.
Bella nodded her head and watched sadly as Allison entered her home. Hopefully, Allison could come to a decision soon.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Allison POV
Allison ignored her parents still sitting down in the kitchen as she ran upstairs to her room. Talking with Bella had felt good. She felt as if some weight had been lifted off her. Still, she was a little angry at her girlfriend at the moment. Or more like, she tried to be angry. Then she thought of Bella and couldn't help but smile. That was her real reason for telling Bella she would call instead of seeing her tomorrow. If she saw her, she would forgive her instantly and start kissing her.
Truthfully though, Allison didn't have a reason to be mad at Bella. As she had told her, if she had dated a Vampire, she would have most likely done the same thing. Who she was mad or more like furious at, were her parents and Kate. Unfortunately, Bella was in the crossfire. Her secret, plus Allison's families were just too much at the moment. Finding out her family was from a centuries-old line of French hunters was a lot to take in.
Allison sighed as she laid on her bed. She caught sight of her phone on her nights and resisted the urge to call Bella. Why did she have to have a gorgeous girlfriend who she couldn't stop thinking about? Rolling over in her bed, Allison tried to fall asleep, but couldn't. Why was she having so much trouble?
Sitting up, Allison grabbed her phone and opened it, a smile sneaking its way across her face as she saw her screen saver. It was a photo of her and Bella, both of them grinning with there arms wrapped around each other. She raised her finger and traced Bella's face.
As she was doing so, a stray thought appeared that caused Allison to drop her phone in shock. How had she not realized this before? Allison glanced down at her phone and opened the messaging app. There was no way she was going to bed, letting Bella think she was mad at her. Especially now that Allison realized she was in love with her.
Allison's fingers hovered over the keys, thinking on what to send. She couldn't exactly write I love you in her text. Well, she could, but she would prefer it to be in person and maybe a little bit more special.
'I forgive you.' She wrote after a few more seconds of thought. She would keep her discovery to herself for now. She wasn't positive here, Bella stood. Allison would wait and see for a little longer before admitting to Bella that she loved her.
Closing her phone, Allison grinned, feeling giddy as she lay in her bed. "I love you, Bella." She said, testing out the words aloud.
Wrapping herself in her duvet cover, Allison watched the night sky from her window. Although today had been a big shock, with unexpected and unwanted surprises, it has still been good. She knew, of course, that she would eventually forgive her family. But for now, she was going to enjoy her newfound revelation, and think of ways to reveal to tell Bella that she was in love with her... "Maybe roses," Allison muttered, deep in thought.
OoOoOoOoOoO
(A/N) Alice and Jasper leaving the Cullen's will be explained next chapter.
I also need to go back to the previous chapters and fix the autocorrect mistakes. I swear I wrote closest last chapter. But now it says closet.
*sigh* The joys of writing on the phone.
