A/N I am so sorry about the lack in updates. This chapter was extremely difficult to write so sorry if it sucks!

Chapter 7: Revenge

Bpov

"I don't want Bella to be my daughter." She laughed mirthlessly, her red eyes glowing in the darkness. "I want revenge."

She's wants revenge? But Carlisle never did anything wrong. How can she believe that it was his fault?

"It wasn't his fault!" Rosalie yelled at her.

Her crimson eyes glinted and her head snapped in Rose's direction. She raised an eyebrow at her and strode towards her. Emmett jumped in front of her to protect her. He was crouched, ready to attack when he froze. The only thing he could move was his eyes. I saw Annabelle glance towards Antoine. He nodded his head.

"Now, now, I'll have none of that," Annabelle said to him. "I wasn't going to hurt her."

Not yet anyway, I heard in her mind. Edward growled beside me.

"I only wanted to explain to her why exactly it is your dear father's fault," she spat out. "I was happy. I had a husband who loved me, and we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. But that was taken from me, and it's all his fault. He said he would do all in his power to save him. He could've changed him into one of us," she yelled at Carlisle.

"I wouldn't have been able to, Annabelle. I wasn't strong enough. I had just mastered being able to be around humans. Do you have any idea how much more difficult it would have been to be around them once I had tasted human blood? I would have killed him," Carlisle explained, but she wasn't listening to his reasoning.

"You as good as killed him," she spat out and looked at him in disgust.

"Don't you dare call our father a killer," Jasper growled at her. "He's worth more than ten of you."

She chuckled at him. "Do I look like I really care what you've got to say, little empath? Of course, he's not the only killer, is he? I've heard a lot about you from my dear friend Maria."

Jasper tensed at the mention of his creator.

"Oh yes, Maria and I keep in regular contact. I was able to find out all about you and your family."

Jasper looked furious but confused.

"How does sh—" Annabelle cut him off.

"She knows a lot more than you think," she said stressing the a lot. "She was able to tell me all about you, Jasper, and your little Alice. She could also tell me when you met up with my darling Bella. Then when I learned from her that you were going to live with a family of vampires called 'Cullen' with topaz eyes, I knew fate had been kind to me. I knew it had to be Carlisle. Bella going to live with you had finally made me able to formulate my plan of revenge. You would care for her, make her your daughter, and then I would call for her. She would come, of course, knowing that I would hurt you all if she didn't. I used my ability to change her memory, but her connection with you was stronger than I had anticipated."

Edward growled at her. "Why bother taking Bella? Why not just kill us yourself?"

She laughed at him. "Of course I want to see him and his family dead. But simply killing him myself? HA! I want him to feel unbareable torture. That wouldn't happen if I killed him myself. But, seeing his family slaughtered by a most beloved daughter—now, that would be torture. Of course, I was going to finish Bella off myself and then have Carlisle watch again. I would keep Carlisle and then let him live forever without his family. Only then would he know how I feel."

I could feel the horror emanating of my entire family. Jasper was trying his best to stand up straight, but I could see the pain in his face.

Esme inched closer to Carlisle, and he put his arm around her. Alice tried her best to comfort Jasper. Emmett was finally released from Antoine's power and he moved towards Rose. I grabbed Edward's hand and cradled Allie to my chest. I couldn't believe that she was going to make me kill my family. She was going to make me kill my mother, father, my brothers, and my sisters. What hurt the most was that she was going to make me kill my soulmate and my daughter. She was the sickest, most evil person I had ever met.

I was scared because what if I hadn't remembered them? Would I be standing there along with her? Would I be just as willing to kill my family as the people who I thought were my friends were?

"Antoine." I looked at him. His eyes were cold and distant. He wasn't my friends anymore. "How could you? I thought you were my friend."

"I was given orders from my mistress, and I obeyed them. I was told to become close to you so I did," he replied. His voice, which was usually filled with warmth, was like ice.

His words hurt me, but I expected an answer like that from him.

"Dawn? Christian?" I asked.

"We were given orders just like Antoine," Christian replied. I looked to Dawn, and I thought I saw sadness flash in them before returning to the same coldness as her mate's eyes.

"Bella, Bella, Bella," Annabelle chuckled. "You really think that they cared for you? If I told them to kill you, they would just like that." She snapped her fingers.

Antoine and Christian nodded. Dawn glanced quickly at Annabelle, looking slightly unsure before nodding again.

I tried to see what she was thinking, but Annabelle must have blocked me.

"As much as I love catching up with you, Carlisle, I really think it's time we got this over with. Since I can't use Bella, I'll have to kill your family myself. Antoine you know what to do."

Carlisle was frozen to the spot. Antoine was using his power again.

Annabelle moved towards all of us, Dawn, Christian, and Antoine flanking her. All of us crouched down in front of Carlisle to protect him.

"It's time for you to watch Carlisle, while we take care of things," Annabelle said.

She crouched and jumped.

A/n I'm so sorry if this is so shit. It's short anyway so short it's hardly worth posting. Sorry sorry sorry! I've been having major WB for this while for my other story I can't stop the ideas coming. I'll try to get the next chapter written soon. Review if you want.
