Last Chapter
"How you became a Vampire," she said, staring directly into my eyes.
"…"
"How I became a what?" I squeaked out.
"Don't play dumb Isabella; I don't have time for this nonsense." She said.
"How did you…"
"Our family are Protectors, for centuries it has been our responsibility to protect what humans think are simply mythical creatures; Vampires, Werewolves, Witches and more. Of course, you already knew of the existence of two of those."
So many thoughts ran threw my head, continuously crashing with one another. It all seemed so surreal, this just could not be possible, but who was I to say it was impossible, after all, I had dated a Vampire.
Wait, Charlie, had he known all along. I turned my head towards him.
"Did you always know?" I asked quietly, sure, I already knew his answer.
Charlie seemed to understand I wasn't talking about our family's history.
"Yes, I always knew who the Cullen's were." I involuntarily flinched. The hole in my chest ached, and the sudden need to cry started to consume me.
I coughed clearing my throat.
"So, am I the only one who doesn't know?"
"Of your mother's children yes, nobody is made aware until their eighteenth birthday, or until the experience the change."
Well guess that explains why my siblings had become increasingly distant these last couple of years.
"When married into the family, the spouse can also choose to become a Protector." I again turned towards Charlie, the question evident on my face. Was he a protector too?
"Yes Bells, I am a Protector."
"What do you protect?" I almost whispered.
"Jake's pack."
Now that hurt, Jacob knew too, he couldn't do. If he did, he was a brilliant actor.
"Does Jacob know?"
"No, none of them do. I didn't want to tell them until we had told you."
"Come Isabella, there are many things to do." 'The Grandmother' ordered rising from her seat.
"Go where?" I questioned
"To France." She stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"France, I can't just go to France, what about school, and work, and Jake?"
"You'll be home tomorrow evening."
"Is that possible?" I questioned
"It is the way we travel." She sighed obviously frustrated.
"Grab some clothes and meet me down here in ten minutes." She instructed.
I turned and in a daze hurried up to my room.
Millions of thought were still swimming around in my head. The loudest screaming 'What the hell just happened?" over and over again. I could not believe it, after all these years nobody had told me. I wondered how my siblings had reacted on hearing the news and made a mental note to ask them the minute I had the chance. I still couldn't believe that Charlie had know all along about them.
I stuffed some clothes and my toiletries into a bag and raced down the stairs, nearly falling on the last one but catching myself at the last minute.
"Good you're ready, let's go." She held out her arm to me. I looked at Charlie,
"It'll be ok Bells." He said awkwardly wrapping his arms around me, then pushing me in the direction of 'The Grandmother'.
"Grab hold of my arm, and don't let go." She ordered. I did as she said, baffled as to what was going to happen. Then suddenly I felt this weird tingling feeling, like I had pins and needles, and I was no longer inside my living room, but instead outside a rather large mansion, that looked pretty old. It was a creamy colour, and looked to be about three stories high. I knew this place. I had been here, yet I could not recall where here was.
"Where are we?" She looked at me and smirked
"My place." She said then proceeded up the stairs. Now I knew why I did not recall where we were, I had not been here since I was five. We were somewhere in the South of France…
AN: So what do you think? Please review, even if it's just to tell me you don't like it. I'm desperate for feedback!
