Sorry i left you guys hanging. I'm only updating today because of hrricane Jay and there isn't any school. I'll probably update tommorow too. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight"What has she done?" I faked curiosity.
"Please, sit down and I'll explain."
I swear the entire Cullen clan winced when he said that. I sat down, and leaned back in my chair. "Please, do tell."
Carlisle took a deep breath before he began. "Forty-five years ago, we lived in a place called Forks in Washington state. My kids went to school, I worked at the hospital, and Esme stayed home.
"One day, a girl name B-Bella Swan moved there to live with her father. The first day she was at school, she shared a class with Edward. During the entire class period he wouldn't breathe because he didn't want to kill her. It turns out that her blood was the most appetizing blood he had ever smelt."
I saw Edward wince. When I looked into his mind, he was reliving that day in Biology in his minds eye. And so am I, my sigh went unnoticed.
"When school was over, Edward dropped the others off at home and rushed to the hospital to borrow my car because it had a full tank of gas. He drove to Alaska and stayed there for a week to clear his head and convince himself that Bella's blood was not as appetizing as he remembered." Carlisle stopped here, unable to go on. The waves of pain were radiating off all of them and I winced.
Alice then picked up where he stopped. "The day Edward went back to school, he was impatient all day. When he got to Biology, he introduced himself to her to erase last week's behavior. She was probably confused, but nonetheless talked to him that day. Their teacher had assigned a lab and everyone was to work with their partners. So, Edward and Bella talked when they were finished and he started to wonder about her even more.
"The next day, Bella almost got hit by a van, but Edward saved her. She was obviously wondering how he could have saved her with one hand and how he had gotten across the parking lot so fast. After that, Edward and Bella didn't talk for six weeks. During that time, neither of them was happy; you could just tell by looking at their faces. So, Edward finally broke the barrier and talked to her. The next day, they sat together at lunch and talked.
"A couple days later, Bella went to a reservation, LaPush, and Emmett and Edward went hunting. What happened during that time changed everything. Soon after, Bella and some of her friends went shopping in Port Angeles, and she was almost attacked by four men, but, miraculously, Edward saved her again."
Alice stopped and looked down at her hands. She looked like she wanted to cry, but I knew she couldn't.
Jasper spoke up next for her. "That night, Bella told Edward she knew what we were, but that it didn't matter to her. By then it was already too late for both of them; Edward was already watching her sleep at night. They developed a friendship in a couple of days, but that wasn't enough. Edward offered to take Bella to a meadow and they both knew that what would happen to them, and their relationship, depended totally on him and his instincts.
"The good news was that they both were joyous about how the other felt. Edward came home briefly that night to change his clothes and explain to us that he would be bringing Bella over. The entire time, he was so happy, I thought I saw clouds under his feet. The next day, he bought Bella over and we played baseball later. Then, a small coven disrupted our game. There were three: James, Laurent, and Victoria."
I looked over to see Victoria stiffen slightly under Anthony's hold. She too must be remembering that day.
"James wanted her," Emmett started. "He was a tracker and was elated at the fact that a coven such as our would be so hell-bent on protecting one human. Jasper and Alice hid her away while Carlisle, Esme, Rose, and I hunted the others.
"Unfortunatly, he lured her into a trap where she almost died. But we got there in time to save her and kill him. After Bella fully healed, things were great. It was like our entire family was complete. Then, her eighteenth birthday came around…" Emmett trailed of and looked over at Edward.
I think you should take it from here bro, Emmett thought to him.
I don't know if can, he thought to himself. But after a moment he spoke.
"The party was good at first. Bella and I had watched a movie over at her house and just came over. She was about to open my present when she-" Edward's voice faltered. "She cut her finger. There was a frenzy then and, after everyone calmed down, I took Bella home. The entire night, I could help but think about what I was doing to her. Then, a couple days later, I lied. I told the one person I couldn't live without that I didn't love her anymore. I couldn't stand it, not being able to tell her I was lying, but I couldn't, so we all left.
"The next day, there was a big news report about her being killed. Alice had seen Victoria," he snarled her name. "Killing her. Then, nothing; she was dead."
There was a silence after that. Then, I started laughing.
"That's really funny." I wiped my eyes. "You guys sure do know how to tell a story."
They stared at me in disbelief.
"You see, the thing is," I continued. "Vicky didn't kill this Bella of yours.
"Then who did?" Edward's eyes went black.
I chuckled again before I answered. "You silly naïve family. I killed Bella Swan."
I was against the wall in a second, Edward's hand around my neck. "What?!" He bared his teeth.
I chuckled again and ordered him to let go of my throat with my mind. As I stepped away from him I chuckled again. "I said, I killed her."
Didn't see that coming did ya? I was actually just typng this and the idea came to me. But don't worry, I'll explain what she means in the next chappie. Reviews please!
