CONFESSIONS
Bella wasn't sure how long she'd been sleeping. She couldn't even remember why she was in a car. Until she looked over at Edward.
Edward- Bella, we're here.
Bella- What?
Edward- We're here. Are you ready to tell him?
Bella- Tell who what?
Edward- Are you all right,love?
Bella- I don't know. I think so. Has Alice had any visions lately about a visitor?
Edward- Not that I know of. Why?
Bella- Well… I…just had a dream about something but I think maybe we should handle Charlie first.
(Edward got out of the car and rushed over to open Bella's door. They walked up to the house and saw Charlie sitting in the living room)
Dad? Um… we need to talk?
Charlie: What's going on?
Bella- Well Edward and I have something to tell you… we… we… we… I can't do this… I just can't.
Edward- allow me, love.
Charlie- Don't call her that!
Bella- Dad!
Charlie- Sorry… reflex reaction.
Edward- what my lovely Bella is trying to say is that I have asked for her hand in marriage
Charlie- You have? Bella, what did you say? Did you tell him about how you feel about getting married so young?
Bella- Yes I told him, dad. But I said yes.
Charlie- You WHAT?! I won't let you do this?! You are too young to get married! At least wait until after college!
Bella- Dad, I'm not a child anymore and you can't change my mind about this. We already set the date to August 13th we can't change it now.
Charlie- OF COURSE YOU CAN!
Bella- NO WE CAN'T! I want to get married before everything changes. I was hoping I could get married before I leave so my father can walk me down the aisle and I can see my friends and family one last time. You know, we almost thought about doing this in Vegas alone. But I realized that wouldn't be fair to me, you, or anyone else. So, please could you try to accept this.
Charlie- ( to Edward) You… Let me make this perfectly clear. You left my daughter and I'm not sure I can ever forgive you for that. But she's seems very happy with you so Edward Cullen if you do anything to hurt her again I will come after you with my shotgun and make you pray to god you hadn't!
Edward- I'll never leave her again and I'll take good care of her, Charlie. I promise.
Bella- Come on, let's go upstairs for a little while I need to talk to you.
(She takes Edward and drags him upstairs)
I had a dream on the way over here. It was a about a girl I'm pretty sure she was a vampire. She lived with the Dracula family. Anyway, she had… what she called a "blood urge" and accidently attacked one of the Volturi. They sentenced her to 100 years in their dungeon but she came here escaped and tried to attack Carlisle…. Are you sure Alice hasn't seen anything?
Edward- No. Wait you said she lived with the Dracula family? Did she give a name for herself?
Bella- I… I can't remember…
Edward- THIS IS IMPORTANT… DID SHE GIVE A NAME?!
Bella- Uh let me think… she was talking to this friend of hers and he called her… something… um…Alicia
Edward- Alicia? Did she have something with her?
Bella- What do you mean?
Edward- was there a scrub brush with her?
Bella- yea… he said his name was Billy Scrubman.
Edward- And they came here?
Bella- they went to your house.
Edward- Damn! Excuse me ( takes out the phone and starts dailing) Alice?
Alice- Hey, Edward.
Edward- Your vision been fuzzy?
Alice- No. I don't think so… why?
Edward- Bella, had a dream about Alicia Starr coming to our house and attacking Carlisle.
Alice- Alicia? Alicia would never attack Carlisle… if it was Courtney or Cody then we might have to worry but Alicia… wait… why would Alicia be in Forks? I thought Dracula never let her out of the house?
Edward- He doesn't. And she's not the problem. She was being held captive by the Volturi. They're after her now.
Alicia- They'll get here twice as fast?!
Edward- my point exactly.
Alicia- How did I not see this… wait, maybe it's because she hasn't decided to leave yet because she hasn't been taken yet.
Edward- just keep an eye out for her.
Alice- Don't worry I will.
(They get off the phone)
(1 week later)
(The Cullen house)
(Alicia is on a couch she blinks a few times and then opens her eyes)
Alicia- Where am I? What's going on?
Carlisle- How are you… I am Dr. Carlisle Cullen and you're in my home. You blacked out after your meal.
Alicia- My meal? (feels my lips and gasps) Who did I hurt this time? ( sits up) Where's Billy? Billy? BILLY!
Carlisle- ( holds her down) young lady, please relax… your friend will be fine. Now, would you mind answering a few questions now or shall I save them for later?
Alicia- Now I suppose.
Carlisle- You seem awfully familiar… what's your name,dear?
Alicia- Alicia… Alicia Megan Starr.
Carlisle- Starr? Do you have any siblings?
Alicia- Yes, I have an older brother and sister
Carlisle- Cody and Courtney?
Alicia- Yes. How did you know that?
Carlisle- You're uncle Vladmir never stops talking about them… gloated about them for hours when I met them… and I don't like to pass judgement but they are very
Alicia- bratty, obnoxious, rude, vain, bitchy… dastardly….
Carlisle- Yes, I think those would suffice…
Alicia- You might have seen me sweeping of something… my uncle hates me… hardly ever talks about me… in fact if he didn't order me around so much I'd be under the impression that he didn't know I existed. That's why I have Billy.
Carlisle- Unfortunately he'll be hard to mend… the piece of his neck we found was wood.
Alicia- I'd usually zap it but I don't want him to get upset with me. It's the first time I ever hurt him.
Carlisle- He's should be out for a little while longer I have him a lot of pain medication for bleeding. Actually it was more like sapping. Thought of putting some in syrup bottles and giving it to the Swans.
Alicia- Why would you do that?
Carlisle- just lightening the mood.
Alicia- thank you but I won't be calm until I see him with my own eyes. That's the only way I'll know… you aren't… you aren't…
Carlisle- working for the Volturi?
Alicia- You're a mind reader?
Carlisle- No, that's my son Edward's ability. I just guessed.
Alicia- Best guesser since Albus Dumbledore.
Carlisle- I suppose I am.
Alicia- might have given Voldemort a run for his money. So, when can I see Billy… where is he?
Carlisle- He's upstairs with my wife Esme if he's feeling up to it I could let you see if in about an hour.
(Meanwhile up in Carlisle's office. Billy wakes up and looks over at Esme)
Billy- Where's Alicia? Is she all right?
Esme- I think she'll be fine. It's you we're worrying about, dear.
Billy- I'm fine. I'm very sturdy… that's what being made of wood does to you. Anyway, when can I see her? I just need to see her… I need to tell her I'm all right.
Esme- Maybe in a little while we don't want you to over do it. Getting bitten can be very stressful.
Billy- I know. I've seen Alicia go through this every month for 4 years. I'm the only one who can calm her afterward usually. By the way, who are you?
Esme- My name is Esme. My husband Carlisle and I live here with out make shift family.
Billy- I guess a lot of vampires have make shift families… well expect Alicia… see she was born half- witch… half- vampire. But you know, something like that is very difficult. The Volturi never approved but they stayed out of it but when Lord Voldemort was trying to get vampires to go back on his side Alicia's mother was one of the first people he went to because she was Dracula… Lotus Dracula… She opposed him once but knew she couldn't do it again and it was getting too dangerous for her family so she left. A year later he came to her house looking for her and ended up killing her husband Henry. He was going to kill the children too but something changed his mind and he left. They went to live with their uncle Count Dracula and have lived there ever since.
Esme- I knew her… I knew Lotus Dracula.
Billy- You knew her? Do you know where she went?
Esme- I do.
Billy- Where is she?
Esme- I don't know…
Billy- you just said you did.
Esme- It was so long ago. You see Carlisle and I got married and after a while things didn't seem right so I left and went to find someone else. He was a wizard. His name was Henry Starr. I started a family with him and had to sneak around being a mother to two separate families. One night Carlisle got suspious and followed me. I had gone to Henry's because the children wanted to go hunting and he couldn't take them. Carlisle saw me go to his house and kiss him. He also heard "Lotus… how was your day?" see Carlisle didn't know I changed my name for him. He confronted me about it and Henry and Carlisle finally met. I explained everything. I was Lotus EsmeDracula and I was married to both of them. When Voldemort was coming for me Henry suggested I go back to Carlisle. So I did. I never called myself Lotus again. The only thing I regret it not taking my children with me.
Billy- You're Alicia's mother? We have to tell her.
Esme- No.
Billy- She deserves to know. She deserves to know her mother is alive!
Esme- No wait…
(Billy runs down the stairs)
No! Let me tell her. Hello, Alicia…
Carlisle- Esme?
Esme- I know what I'm doing. Alicia my name is Esme… Lotus Esme… Dracula…
(Enter Bella and Edward)
I'm your mother.
Alicia- Mom?
Esme- Yes, baby.
( they hug and Alicia starts to cry)
Bella- This family gets more interesting everyday.
Edward- Which is more dangerous…
Bella- for me?
Edward- No, for us.
