Chapter Two: The Lies and One Shocking Discovery

When I had got back home, I saw that everyone was still waiting for me, then I sat back down next to my mate, and Alice said, "So Bella, what did you talk about?"

I froze, I didn't know what to think, lies, lies, lies. I just heard Alec's words repeating in my head, I didn't know what to say, I just stayed quiet, then Edward had wrapped an arm around me, but I did something that I would soon regret, I went tensed, I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, I held my breath, and I didn't say anything, but I just stayed quiet.

Edward said, "Love are you alright?"

Lies, lies, lies….

I put on my best smile, and I said, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Alice said, "NO! BELLA PLEASE DON'T GO!"

Everyone all froze, then she started crying, and Carlisle said, "Bella, what did you talk about?"

Lies, lies, lies…

I said, "Oh… just some stuff. That's all."

Esme said, "We all know that you're not a good liar Bella. Now just tell us what did you talk about with that guy?"

Just trust me, I think you could do a lot better at lying than your two crazy older brothers.

I just said, "He had offered me a job, but I will have to leave sometime in August."

Edward said, "When?"

I decided to put on a little show, I didn't want to hurt them all, I sighed, and I just said, "Sometime in August."

Rose said, "Where are you going to work?"

I said, "Somewhere in another country, but none of you can't come with me. He told me that if I do bring someone with me, then he'll kill you all. So don't even think about it. I will know."

Emmett said, "Well I'll take him down!"

I laughed, I secretly enjoyed lying to everyone, but I knew that if I was going to keep this up for so long, then everyone would all know that something's going on, and there would be some arguments for sure.

I said, "I don't think you could take him down."

He said, "Oh yeah."

I said, "Yeah."

Then out of nowhere, I heard the woman's voice, "I just want her to grow up with her family. That's all I want for our little witch."

Then I heard a man's voice, "I know Molly, I know. But we have to make sure that Ginny is safe from those creatures of the night remember?"

She said, "Don't you dare talk about those leeches! No one will never take her from us!"

Then I heard a boy's voice, "Mum, when is Ginny going to Hogwarts?"

Molly said, "Oh Ron, she's going to go a year after you, because remember Fred and Gorge are going to be in their third year by the time you go for your first and when they're in their fourth year and you in your second, she will be in her very first year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Then I heard a girl's voice, I had become unaware of everyone and everything around me, unaware of Edward who had become very concern for me, unaware of Alice who had become very confused about my future, unaware of everyone who were just looking at me, unaware of Nessie who had come home after spending a day at Jacob's house in La Push, I just focused on the little girl's voice, and she said, "Mummy, when am I going to Hogwarts? Mummy, can I go to Hogwarts with Ron? Please mummy?"

Molly said, "Oh Ginny. You're just too little to go to Hogwarts. And you know that when you're eleven years old, then you know that's when you will get your letter and then we could all go and get your new school stuff."

Ginny said, "Yeah! I get to go to Hogwarts with my brothers! Oh thank you mummy and daddy!"

Then it had ended, I was speechless, I didn't know what to do or what to say, all I could think of was that I had just heard my own voice for the very first time and we were afraid of some creatures, and I knew that what Alec had said was true after all.

Edward said, "Bella? Bella are you alright? What's wrong?"

Without telling them, without telling them where I was going, I sped off to my own room, there I found Alec, I didn't know how he had gotten into the house without being seen, but I didn't care, I shut the door, then he had said something, and I felt something go around the room.

I said, "It's true."

He smiled, he said, "Now you believe me?"

I nodded, I didn't trust my voice, he came up to me, and hugged me, but then I burst into tears while I was in his arms.

He hugged me until I was calm down a bit, then we went to go sit on my bed, but while I was sitting next to him, I began to feel strange.

I looked down at my hands, and I saw that they were long, and skinny, then I felt like I was turning into something, and Alec gasped out loud beside me.

I looked at him, he smiled, and then I noticed that he had broken into tears, and I said, "Hey, what's wrong?"

He said in tears, "Go and look in the mirror."

I did what he said, I went into my huge bathroom, then I looked in the mirror, and I gasped out loud. I saw that I wasn't looking at the girl who had grown up with a loving family, I didn't see the girl who had become a vampire just because she had fell in love with one.

No, I didn't see any of that, what I saw was a ten year old girl who had bright red hair, who had a smile on her small round face with dark brown eyes, a pointed nose, slim cheeks, small pointed ears, and shell like lips. I just stared at her, she stared back, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, I jump when I heard a silent knock at the bathroom door, then the young ten year old red headed girl had vanished, and I was face-to-face with the vampire that everyone all knew.

I slowly opened the door only a little bit, I saw that it was Alec, he said, "You ok?"

I just nodded, I didn't want to tell him that I had seen my true self with she was younger, he said, "Hey there's someone just outside the room. I think I should go, I'll be back here tomorrow to check up on you. Are you ok for now?"

I nodded, he said, "Are you sure?"

I just nodded, he said, "Alright then, if you need anything, I had left my number on the bed for you."

I opened the door, then I went back into my bedroom, then I turned around to face him, and I said, "Thank you."

He said, "For what?"

I said, "For telling me the truth about myself because if you hadn't done this, then I wouldn't have to say good-bye to them all."

He sighed and said, "Do you know why you're doing this?"

I shook my head, he came up to me, and he said, "I know that you're not going to like what I say but it's the only way I could say it so here it goes. The reason why you have to leave is because… well… with you as a witch and with me as a wizard, we are afraid of two things. Do you know what they are?"

I shook my head, I noticed that he had begun to pace up and down in my room, I just sat down on my bed, and then he said, "Well… we're afraid of a certain wizard, and this wizard is getting stronger every day, and he has followers, and these followers are of course witches and wizards, but this wizard also had a secret weapon. Now don't attack me or anything like that, I just want you to know that his secret weapon are the Cold Ones, I don't know if you had ever heard of them. But the Cold Ones are also known as vampires, or what your family likes to call them leeches, or sometimes dark creatures of the night."

I sat frozen, I didn't want to believe it, I just couldn't imagine myself hating the family I had become a part of just about a year ago, and then I slowly began to drift off, I didn't know what was going on, I just couldn't believe that my husband and his family were once my enemies, then it hit me, and I knew that I just had to face them once more.

But how do you face the family that you had fallen in love with when you had just found out that they weren't your family after all when all along they were your enemies?

And how could you even face your own husband for that matter?
