Victoria walked into Carlisle's study. She looked the same as she did in the clearing: red hair, red eyes, and a cat-like stance. She strutted in and sat on Carlisle's chaise.

"You know, if you want to know what happened to her, you could always ask me," Victoria said. She was toying with us. She knew I wanted Bella back. It was killing me and I wanted to rip her to shreds.

Carlisle intervened though, "Why would you ask us this? You have no idea what we are speaking of."

"Well, I might know a little more that you think.

"After you and your damned brothers killed James, I sought the help of a witch. She helped raise him from the dead- or, actually limbo. You see we don't die really. We stay just as we are except no one can see us, like ghosts."

I glanced at Carlisle to see him thinking very hard, but Victoria spoke again.

"Oh, don't give me that look. I'm not saying there's not Heaven and Hell. Just that we don't go to either one, but that's far from the point.

"Where was I? Ah, yes, the witch and I brought James back and right after we had our little reunion, he asked the witch for a time travel spell, for him and your precious human lover.

"As it happened, James had been watching you, your girl and your family the whole time he was… gone. He came up with a plan of revenge."

"And sending Bella back to the Titanic was his plan?" I growled.

"No, but it was his plan to send her to you, Carlisle, isn't it?" Victoria continued, "He wanted you to turn her. Although, it wasn't a foolproof plan, he ended up twenty years before the Titanic sank.

"He had to wait all that time to take his revenge."

"Why would he take his revenge on Bella? Why not come after me?" I yelled. Carlisle had to restrain me from killing her right there.

James would kill Bella if you kill Victoria.

"Sit down, Edward," she spat my name. "I am not finished, but to answer you questions, he is taking it out on you. Not knowing what happened to your dear Bella is torturing you. You will start to go mad when you finally give up and realize you will never get her back.

"But, unfortunately, something else unexpected came up. It turns out that your human isn't really human at all. She is a witch by birth, a good one at that. As you can image we weren't expecting that, and to add to it, her being a vampire further advanced her powers.

"She erased herself from your memories to prevent James from hurting you and your family as well. Personally, I think she knew all along James was coming for her. He's torturing her, you know, very slowly."

I had to stifle a snarl to let her continue.

"I'm assuming you know what this means, after almost eighty years of playing cat and mouse and being tortured, her powers are weakening. That is why you remember your dearest now. It won't be much longer until you can never save her."

"You bitch!" I screamed as I pounced.

With the help of Jasper and Emmett, we were able to chain her in the basement.
