"Bella?" I snap my head to the pixie girl and glare; I hated that name with a passion and loathe when people called me it. Everyone in Volturi had always called me Isa, Isabella, or some other nickname. They learned to never call me that fowl name though. After one girl once mistakenly done so. Let's just say it didn't end to well for her.
"Don't ever call me that!" I snarl out. But then what just happened registers and I stare at her suspiciously–"How do you know my name?"
She smiles with a sad expression, making it almost look like a grimace. "I knew you when you were human."
I step back shocked, my eyes widening. What? I want to rip her apart for lying but a part of me is curious if she is really telling the truth.
I ask " how?" And She bite's her lip out of either nervousness or anxiousness. I read her emotions and find that its nervousness.
Demetri and Felix don't like this, and step forward to stand beside me, in a way of protection.
"Alice, don't." the bronze boy spoke for the first time causing my head to snap over to him, he was looking as though he were in pain. For some reason I felt I should send him some kind of comforting emotion but my more sadistic side thought it was funny that he was in pain. The Alice girl looks at him angrily. Making her appear almost intimidating.
"Why Edward? Look what has happen to her; she's a part of the Volturi… It turns out us leaving just caused more problems. She's with monsters. We could've had prevented this!" She snaps at him, and I feel her rage radiating off of her. Her mate sends her some calming and peaceful emotions. And for a moment she is calm…a little anyways.
I growl ferociously, and Demetri and Felix snarled as they heard the insults about our family.
I stepped closer to her causing the blonde empath to growl in warning. I glared hard at him, telling him to back down with my eyes because he would not win this fight
I turn my glare to the girl, "I have no idea who you think you are but I'll tell you once and one time only. If you value your life or your covens, you will NEVER speak of my family that way again. Or I will gladly rip your tiny head from your pixie body. Is that clear Ms. Alice?" I say in a sinister vvoice. Power and rage pouring out of every word that I say. Her eyes show me her fear, shock and also tons of hurt and anguish.
She nods, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."
I fall back to where Felix and Demetri were.
"How do you know our little Red, here?" Felix asks, and I knew he would want to know about my human life. He felt guilty about turning me after he found out I had no recollection of my memories.
It was the Caramel motherly lady that spoke this time, "We knew Isabella when she was human as my daughter Alice said. We met her in a town called Forks, Washington. Where she went to High school with my children, she caught the attention of..." she turned to look at the one they called Edward and he was looking at her as well. He shook his head 'no' and looked straight back at me. I look hard at him,analyzing his features. He did seem familiar but the only thing I got when looking at him is an ache from my chest. The woman continued to speak.
" My children, you see you were different from the other human students that went to high school with them. You didn't show any fear of them, and they saw that as intriguing. You were also one of the most selfless and compassionate girls we had ever met."
I raise my eyebrow in wonder. Me compassionate and selfless? I almost laugh at that, Those were two things I hardly ever showed.
"You say you knew me?Hmm..Were we close?" I ask in wonder.
This time the blonde leader spoke, "We were all very close to you in our own way Isabella, I and Esme love you as a daughter."
The pixie spoke sadly, "You are my best friend, and my sister."
The empath spoke in a strange calm voice, "You were my little sister, who I …loved very much."
The big muscular one spoke in a whisper which I found somewhat strange, his voice sounded pained "You are my little sister, who I played with all the time and picked on a lot but you would always get me back in your own clever way. You were always falling over and attracting danger which is why I would be very protective of you. You would always call me Emmy bear, even though my name is Emmet, but I loved it because it was …our thing. Anyways… I was your big brother."
I was surprised with the emotion in his voice, he felt pain and it didn't feel right coming from him. For some reason I didn't like that he was feeling like this so I sent comfort to him.
Jasper raised his eyebrow at me in curiosity feeling the emotion I sent him.
Felix moved closer to me, I could feel his emotions and I knew that he didn't like the whole big brother role that 'Emmet' was claiming he played in my previous life.
I looked to him and he looked down to me,his eyes worried for some reason, I send reassurance to him and he smiles.
"I was always mean to you…everyone thought I hated you even …You. However I loved you like a …daughter if you will. I wanted to protect you from this life, but it seems it was all in vain." The beautiful blonde one spoke to me, her voice staying even, but sincerity rolling off her in waves.
Everyone seemed to have said something except Logan and the female that was clinging to him on the ground still, he was still calming down from the pain. I smirked at that.
"Logan and Harper just came for a visit so they don't know who you are." The empath explained to me feeling my emotions.
Well that was six people who seemed to tell me how they saw me, but that didn't really tell me how I felt around them, what I saw them as, but I suppose I was close to them in some way.
I looked to Edward.
"What about you? What was I to you?" I ask curiously, I expected him to say something like little sister or best friend, but for some reason that made me feel ...sick.
He seemed to go over his answer making me feel slightly anxious.
"You were… my everything." He spoke confidently but I could hear the desperation and pain in his voice, but I could hear more than anything the love. I looked to him alarm, causing him to continue. "Don't be scared… You were my best friend, who I loved-love more than …anything." He spoke assuredly.
I felt as if he was lying but I didn't question him, best friends? I guess that was okay, even though my soul felt as though it were protesting. Something inside me wanted to know something that was bothering me, "If I was so close to you…Then why weren't you around when I was dying? Shouldn't you have been there when the vampire attacked me. Also I wasn't in forks when I was attacked. I was in New Hampshire for college, and Demetri said there wasn't any covens in that area .That's why Damon the leader of the newborn army was resident there."
Regret crossed all their faces minus Logan and Harper.
"We-" Esme was cut off by Edward as he interrupted.
"You left to go to college…we had recently been in New Hampshire before Forks and couldn't risk anyone recognizing us so we went to separate colleges and then you disappeared…we went searching for you but after about five years we just assumed you died since Alice couldn't see you anymore." Edward said evenly and hurriedly.
I looked at him suspiciously, I guess that did make sense, most vampires do have to wait a long time before returning to a place to stay.
The others glared at him disbelief rolling off him, I chose to look into there minds to see what they were thinking.
"What is he saying!"The empath thought.
"That idiot! He's just going to make it worse!" Alice thought.
"Edward…" Carlisle sighed in his thought disapprovingly.
"Why would he say that to her?Oh Edward." Esme thought disapprovingly also.
"That f***ing Idiot, I'm going to f***ing kill that a**h*le!" Rosalie thought very…angrily.
Wow...she's got a mouth that could put a sailor to shame. I think I was starting to like her.
"He's going to die…A terrible death." Emmet thought with aggravation.
"What the heck is going on?" Harper thought.
"When will the pain go away!" Logan thought, I snickered silently.
I decided to speak since it was quite obvious he was either leaving something out or lying all together.
"Why don't you tell me the truth, I know for a fact that that is not it. I can hear all your thought and I can feel the disbelief and anger rolling off of everyone of your family members. I will not stand here and be made a fool." I spat at Edward getting my point across quite bluntly.
