Okay so here's what happened to the Cullen's, like I said, it's not great...the italics are the flashbacks/memories...*tear*

I arrived back to the house to find an empty sofa, empty living room. I immediately panicked, that was until I heard water running, and her steady heart beat. I breathed a large sigh of relief and decided to leave her to it, to let her become comfortable in the house. I busied myself with tiding the blankets and pillow away.

When she came downstairs I was immediately was assaulted by Alice's scent. I looked at Bella, she was wearing the same blue blouse as before, I briefly smelt Jasper on her, but Alice's scent was the strongest.

"Bella?" I was stunned, why had she gone in that room? The scent hit me harder than it should have,

"Whose room is the one with all the drawings?"

My eyes closed, I could not have this conversation with her, it hurt too much. My hands came up and rubbed my temples,

"Edward?" her voice was sweet, how could I not tell her the truth?

"It was Alice and Jaspers room," I sighed I defeat, collapsing on the couch behind me, such a dramatic human gesture. She walked towards me and knelt in front of my knees,

"Alice and Jasper?" Just hearing someone else say their names brought back their memory, I had fought so hard to keep it out.

"They were my family; they were killed, along with my mother and father." My voice was lower than a whisper, she placed her hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes, silently pleading me to continue, this angel would be the death of me, I shuddered,

"Your human family?"

My eyes shut and I shook my head, the grief of their deaths flashing before my black vision.

The red haired female launched herself at Jasper, he had experience in fighting, but this woman, Victoria, was a skilled opponent. She and Jasper fought, snarls and growls errupting from everywhere, Emmett and rose were tracking the leader, James, while Esme and Carlisle were trying to control the newborn, Riley. The older vampire, Laurent, didn't take much from my part,

"We were attacked, by a coven, they heard us in the woods and were offended when my father asked them not to hunt in the immediate area. They attacked naturally, to claim the territory. The leader thought that because we were bonded, that we had human feelings we were weak, he planned to claim the territory and raise his own coven," I shook my head thinking of Carlisle and Jaspers feeble attempt to diffuse the situation.

"James," she whispered, "that's why you were hunting us," her hands dropped from my face and her own went strangely blank, "he told me, he said he tried to take out a larger coven, and succeeded, Edward..."

"he did succeed, he, two other older vampires and a newborn killed four of my family, my mother, Esme, my father, Carlisle, and my siblings Alice and Jasper," I fell back into the sofa and closed my eyes, again.

Alice left me to help Jasper, he was going to receive a blow to the chest that would momentarily knock him off balance, Alice had seen it and left me to finish off Laurent, with our gifts we had chosen to go after the oldest vampire. I threw the pieces onto the pyre and let them burn, I turned to help the others when Alice's voice rang through my mind, she had a vision, the second I saw it through her it happened.

Victoria had made a split decision to take out the smallest member of our coven, going straight for her head; I launched myself across the trees, but only made it in time to see Victoria throw my sisters body onto the large fire at the end of the field. I raced over to her but it was too late, my sister was gone. My grief buckled me to the ground, I faintly heard Jasper roar and I heard his incoherent anger as he flung himself at the red head.

"Esme NO!" Carlisle shouted in my head, not only out loud, I saw my adoptive mother being torn at the waist by the blond haired newborn. Her scream rang out in the clearing, Carlisle rushed at the uncontrolled vamp, but clashed into James.

Victoria was getting the better of Jasper, he wasn't concentrating, his thoughts only of Alice as he snapped at the smiling vampire. Emmett and Rose were lost on James' trail, I couldn't hear their thoughts, but James was here, holding my creator to the ground as he watched, as did I, through his mind, his wife burn.

I was torn, I couldn't move, on one hand my brother was about to be killed, on the other Carlisle's throat was exposed to James teeth, I sped across the clearing to my father, and knocked James to the ground, I growled and snapped at his throat but his strong arms were holding me above him, I struggled against him, he pushed me off and threw me into the boulder situated more than fifty yards from him,

In the back of my mind I heard Jaspers cries as Victoria's teeth plunged into his neck, ripping his head clean off, her thoughts of triumph. Carlisle raced to help his son, he just kept repeating over and over, 'not them too, please no.'

"they were smart, all of them, they shouldn't have died," my voice broke my reverie, I looked over at Bella, he face was heartbroken, she had tears in her eyes, "Carlisle wasn't strong enough after watching Esme and Jasper turn to ash, James and I fought and I tried to get free to help him, but Victoria, and the newborn finished him."

"Edward I'm so sorry."

"It happened long ago, its okay." But it wasn't okay, their faces, their thoughts kept screaming at me now I had relived them, I needed to get out into the fresh air, I needed to run.

"What happened to Victoria and the newborn?" she inquired quietly,

"Go on Victoria, escape this... run...I'll just follow."

She leapt towards me, snarling. Her white venom coated teeth inches from my face, I pushed her to the ground and straddled her chest. She bucked wildly beneath me, trying to get free. Her dark eyes almost reflecting mine, she hadn't hunted in a while, I idly thought if that was my doing, chasing her through state after state was time consuming, I wasn't even sure she had time to get a kill in before fleeing each of her temporary hideouts. My hand came round to grasp her throat, she tried to pull me off, but I was stronger, my teeth cut into her neck, severing it. Her body writhed again; it made it slightly more difficult to dismember her.

Afterwards I just stood and watched the smoke billow into the murky clouds.

"Victoria turned on the newborn, after he had lost his strength,"

"And Victoria...?"

"I took care of it," my voice sounded cold, I could only imagine how terrifying it must have sounded. "Bella, I'm sorry, I need to leave you for a few hours, I will be back soon, I promise..."

She nodded as I stood; I walked at human pace to the door, and then hit full vampire speed before I hit the last step on the porch. Running was much easier to me, I could smell the leaves, the earth, each animal I passed, everything. I could temporarily try to forget the horrors I had witnessed, the ones I had lost, but it wasn't so easy,

"YOU LOST HIM EMMETT!!"

Rosalie snarled at me and stood beside Emmett, who was crumpled on the floor, dry sobbing.

"Edward...he led us south...we went south." He mumbled shaking,

"Edward it is not our fault, you need someone to blame, we will not accept responsibility." Her voice was nothing short of a growl, her thoughts, were distraught. She blamed herself for catching the wrong scent and telling Emmett to follow her,

"We can't stay here, Edward." She whispered, Emmett shot his head up, but his thoughts agreed, I never even noticed her thoughts led to that course of action, "there are too many reminders... we have to leave Forks."

The silence that hung in the air that night was almost too unbearable, both of their dead hearts broke when I told them I was staying, they begged and begged for me to come with them, masochistic is the word I believe Emmett used.

The night they left I began my hunt.

Now, flying through the trees it was too easy to remember it, I was running just as I had ran before, to track him, the only one who had escaped. I ran straight past an old oak and my body stopped before I had the chance to catch up with my actions. There, on the bark...was a fresh trail.

Dun Dah Dah Dun...

Next chapter either up tonight or tommorrow..depends on how impatient I get...
