Chapter Two 'Bella's Secret'
Bella had hugged her mom tightly before getting back onto the plane to Forks. She had told her mom everything about Edward and his family. Well not everything not that they were vampires. That would have been kind of awkward. After getting some time to think she knew she had to tell him. She had to tell all of them what she was. To give them the chance to decide if they wanted to be near her. They gave her that curtsey it was only fair that she did for them.
Bella had got off the plane expecting to her dad but instead she saw Edward. He had a smile on his face and she smiled over at them. "What is this?" Bella asked as he took her bags.
"Well," Edward said putting her bags in the back. "Your dad got in a call and needed me to come get you so I couldn't resist," he said touching her face and kissing her softly.
"I miss that," Bella said closing her eyes.
"I missed you very much," Edward said. "Not being able to watch you sleep or see you," he said. "Was torture for me," he said causing her to look down. "What?" He asked.
"You might change your mind about that," Bella said causing him to arch her eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Edward asked never letting go of his hold on her.
"I need to talk to you and your family," Bella said. "I haven't been honest with you guys," she said. "And you deserve to know the truth," she said causing him to nod his head.
"They are making you some dinner," Edward said. "You haven't eaten have you," he said.
"Does a bag of peanuts count?" Bella asked causing him to laugh. They drove in silence the whole way she was preparing herself for any reaction. Even death.
Edward had pulled into his home and went to open the door for her. 'She would miss that about him,' she thought to herself. They walked into the house and she could smell stake.
"Something smells nice," Bella said coming into the house.
"Bella," Alice said running to hug her.
"Hey," Bella said with a smile on her face and then looked at the others.
"Please tell me you haven't eaten," Rosalie said harshly causing her to look down.
"I think she wants to talk," Alice said causing her to look up into her eyes. She reassuringly nodded at her and they went over to the table. "Go on," she said gripping her hand.
"What's the matter love?" Edward asked sitting next to her.
"I have been hiding something from you," Bella said. "And you have been so open and honest with me that it doesn't seem fair," she said causing him to listen attentively.
"What is it Bella?" Esme said. "You can tell us anything dear," she said.
"I'm," Bella said. "Well I use to be," she said causing Alice to nod her head. "A hunter," she said causing them to arch their eyebrows.
"What did you hunt?" Emmett asked. "Deer or something," he said causing her to sigh.
"No," Bella said. "Mostly vampires," she said causing them to look in shock. "Sometimes demons and then the occasional werewolf," she said causing them to remained silent.
"I knew it," Rosalie said. "I knew she couldn't be trusted," he said.
"Rosalie!!" Alice said. "If she couldn't be trusted she wouldn't have told us," he said.
"She has killed our kind," Rosalie said looking at them.
"And we have killed hers," Alice said firmly coming closer to Bella.
"I am sorry I didn't tell you," Bella said. "I just didn't want to bring up my past," she said looking down not hearing a sound from Edward.
"What started you in hunting?" Carlisle asked causing her to sigh.
"I had a best friend his name was Tommy," Bella said. "We had been friends for years even when I moved around because of my mom he was still always my best friend," she said. "We were sitting on his bed watching movies ironically about vampires," she said laughing.
"Here dear," Esme said handing her a cloth seeing her tears forming.
"Um we were fifteen at the time," Bella said. "His father was a hunter but we didn't know it we thought he was a salesmen," she said. "That night the door burst open we thought it was a burglary so we called the police and hide in the closet but they found us," she said. "One focus on Tommy while the other two went at me," she said. "They took kitchen knives cut me, they touched me, they um hurt me in many ways and then I saw the one kill Tommy," she said crying.
"Oh Bella," Alice said hugging her loosely.
"He ripped apart like he was a rag or something," Bella said. "And then he came after me but Tommy's dad and friend came into the house shooting at them," she said softly. "It was dead mans blood in the make shift bullets they got one but the others ones managed to escape out the back," she said softly.
"What then?" Carlisle asked causing her to take a deep breath.
"I went to the hospital I was told to say it was three men trying to rob us," Bella said. "When I got I demanded answers and justice," she said. "He gave me a gun," he said. "And he let me join his salesmen club," she said laughing. "From then on I killed every vampire, demon, or wolf that crossed my path because I was angry and hurt," she said with anger in her eyes.
"Your accident," Edward said speaking for the first time.
"They took my life that day and I was going to get it back," Bella said looking down. Rosalie still had her arms crossed and was glaring.
"What made you stop?" Emmett asked causing her to look down.
"He had called me to help with a nest," Bella said. "It was in Flagstaff and my mom was out of town so it was perfect," she said. "I went to help him when I got there it wasn't what I thought," she said. "What it usually was," she said looking down.
"What was it?" Carlisle asked.
"It was a family," Bella said tearing up. "A mother, a father, and a little boy," she said. "No sign that they were evil, no killings in the area nothing but he slaughtered that boys parents," she said. "I took the boy and I took him to one of my informants," she said. "She took him in for me and then I went to leave to go back home," she said causing her to nod. "But it didn't happen like that," he said.
"What do you mean?" Jasper asked.
"When I got home they were waiting for me him and his right hand man," Bella began. "I uh got the crap knocked out of me and they left me to die," she said. "I guess they thought they did because they never came back to finish the job," she said softly. "And six months later I moved here," she said.
"Wow," Emmett said running his hand along his face.
"I should go," Bella said standing up and she felt a hand go around her wrist.
"Don't go," Edward said looking into her eyes just like the night at Port Angels.
"Yeah stay Bella," Alice said causing her to look at all of them. They had forgiving expression with the exceptions of Rosalie but she expected nothing less from her.
