Years later when Edward is in Alaska because he ran away from Bella's scent when he first met her (Beginning of Twilight)...

It was a nippy January day but Rosalie didn't feel a thing as she stomped out of the car and trudged her way to the door of her house. Her siblings trailed behind her afraid that a sudden movement might crack her.

"Rosalie…?" Alice called from the doorway. Even though Alice spoke in a mere whisper Rosalie heard her from her room. She marched downstairs with her head up high.

"Alice, you are my sister," Rosalie spit the word sister out, "and I love you but I can not understand why some human girl had such an effect on our brother." As Rosalie spoke Alice saw her getting angrier by the word so Alice spoke calmly and reassuringly.

"Rosalie, you have to realize…"

"I REALIZE THAT EDWARD," By then Emmett was by her side stroking her to get her to calm dawn. She pushed him off, "IS GOING TO DESERT US ALL FOR SOME LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT HUMAN LIFE THAT I COULD EASILY TAKE CARE OF!"

Alice seeing her future, understood she was serious and in a stern voice said, "How would Carlisle like that? Rosalie are you delusional? Edward left so he wouldn't bring harm to us like that. Why would you jeopardize us? If you can't think of your family think of yourself. You would need to go into hiding for you don't know how long. Do you really want to do that to yourself, and us?" Jasper calmed Rosalie down with his power and she sank to the couch. Esme slid her arms around her.

"What's really bothering you?" Alice asked

"I've been keeping a secret from you Alice," Rosalie said in a hushed tone. "In fact, the only ones who know are Edward, Carlisle, and Esme. You see the story of how I came to this family wasn't because Carlisle wanted Edward to have a mate. Carlisle knows you have to choose your own mate. I was never a human. I grew up in a small town in Switzerland. The whole town was, and still is, all Witches." Emmett hardened then relaxed. "My dad was running for leader of my town but lost. He couldn't deal with losing so we moved to America. That's where I found out about Vampires. The thought of living forever was so euphoric I only wanted to hang around them. I never thought about their diet.

"One night I was walking home from the store. My mother needed potion ingredients to make my father well. It was almost the end of his lifetime. He was nearly four hundred and seventy. The average lifetime for a Witch is about five hundred years. As I was saying, I was traveling home a secluded road when a mugger nearly attacked me. Naturally I wasn't afraid, I was the daughter of a very powerful Witch. But, I was flattered when Edward jumped between the mugger and I and ate him." Rosalie's eyes were far away, almost a lifetime ago, "He almost ran away when I grabbed him and hugged him for all I was worth. Then I thanked him. I wasn't aware how powerful Vampires were until then. My euphoria only grew." She said with remorse. "He was so stunned that I hugged him, he nearly fled. I knew then the only way to keep him with me was to put a love and devotion spell on him. So I did. Since he did whatever I told him to do, and him eating people frightened me, I convinced him to eat animals as we do now. We spent the next five years in happiness, my happiness. But perfection gets boring, year number six was drawing to an end when I wondered what would happen to my great powers if I were to become a Vampire. So, on a whim I had Edward turn me. As you all know, with the exception of Alice, that the transformation wasn't pretty. It was horrific, I felt my Witch blood fight the venom, and lose. So much for my amazing powers. As the Witch in me faded, so did my spell on Edward. He was angry to say the least. He covered up his weakness with the story about Carlisle and Edward's mate. I lost everything. Even my name, Aurora." Vampires can't cry, so Rosalie sat there. Her eyes came into focus.

"What happened to your family?" Alice asked.

"I never brought the ingredients to my mother, my father died. I never said goodbye, and I never saw my mother again. I'm too ashamed of my choice."

"What does this have to do with Edward leaving?" Emmett asked

"I love you Emmett, but Edward was my savior. Even if it wasn't necessary. I love you like my husband Emmett, but some of my heart will always belong to Edward. I will love him even if he doesn't love me, but that little girl is ruining my brother…" Rosalie threw her finger in the air, "…I should know by now." Rosalie ran into her room, Emmett close behind.

"Uh…wow." Was the first thing Jasper said.

"Why didn't you tell us Esme?" Alice asked

"It wasn't my secret to tell." Esme said. Walking to the phone, Esme slowly dialed Carlisle's number.
