Previously on My Rendition of Breaking Dawn:

The family seemed to agree as we all divided off into our own little groups, Jasper and Alice headed out to hunt with Carlisle and Esme, while Rose and Emmet decided to grab a hotel for the night. This left Tasha, Joslyn, Edward and I in an awkward silence.

Joslyn decided to break the uncomfortable silence eventually. "I think I am going to hunt with the others" she said quickly before running into the woods.

Tasha was the second to speak "so can I talk to you now Bella, Edward can come to, I just want to talk."

I nodded and said "Ya, we can talk up in Edward's old room, follow me." I said before running up the stairs.

The Truth About Tasha

To tell you the truth, I was terrified. I was an almost indestructible vampire and I was terrified to let an old bully talk to me. Something must be wrong with me, but nevertheless, I told her she could talk to me, and I am not going to back down.

I sat down on the bed with Edward and waited for Tasha to come in. sooner than I would have liked she knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." I said softly.

She opened the door slowly and walked in hesitantly. She saw Edward and I on the bed and gave us a small smile before coming in and settling herself down on the floor. She looked up at us with big ruby eyes and we all sat in silence.

I was hesitant to start the conversation just because I really wanted to believe she was sorry, and it would be really hard for me to find out that she didn't really care. I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the chance that could happen, or if I just wanted to believe she was sorry and let her leave without letting her explain herself.

Edward seemed to understand what I was thinking because he grabbed my hand and squeezed, this was our signal that we wanted to connect withour spouses mind. I connected with him and immediately I was bombarded by his thoughts.

Love, you need to let her explain herself. You have already told her that she could, and you would listen. It won't do any of you any good for you to back out now. For all you know, whatever she is going to say may really change the way you look at her.

I understand the possibilities Edward, but you have to understand where I'm coming from. She already told me she was sorry, so if I accept that and let her take her leave now, I can just keep believing she honestly meant what she said. But if I let her explain her point of view I may realize that she is not as sincere as I first thought she was.

I do understand your point of view sweetheart, but the fact of the matter is you will never know the truth unless you give her a chance to tell the truth. You know love Emmet always says A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort (A.n. here is one of the quotes.). In this case it would hurt to have a positive attitude, what's the worst thing that can happen. Even if it doesn't work out you can use your positive attitude to annoy the others, Jasper especially.

He had a point, if I let her go without explaining herself I could guarantee that I would spend the rest of eternity wondering if she was being honest or not. Edward seemed to understand that I made up my mind because he looked towards Tasha and nodded his head.

I broke off my connection with Edward and turned my attention to Tasha. She was staring at the floor guiltily, I couldn't stand the silence. I cleared my throat to get her attention before speaking.

"Ok, Tasha. I am willing to give you a chance to explain why you treated me the way you did. But I would also like to here how you became what you are." I told her as warmly as I could.

She nodded and began with her explanation of why she treated me badly.

"Ok, I will start with my pathetic reasons for treating you the way I did. You see Bella I was always jealous of you."

"What." I yelled interrupting her, "Why in the world would you be jealous of me of all people?" I questioned.

"Well, if you let me finish I can tell you." She told me. I looked down sheepishly as she continued.

"Ok, so as I was saying I was always jealous of you, because you were what all the boys wanted and you didn't even notice. You were just the shy clueless Bella Swan. Whereas I did whatever I could to have the boys notice me for absolutely nothing. They were all to busy lusting after you." She said quickly, I could almost see the anger in her tone.

"So I told myself that maybe if I got you considered to be an outcast that the boys and the rest of the school would finally leave you alone. Then maybe I would get the attention I wanted. Well after you left to live with your dad I got everything I wanted. All the boys wanted me and the rest of the school wanted to be my friend. It wasn't till I had what I thought that I wanted that I realized it wasn't really what I wanted. The attention was fine but I began to realize my mistake. Because of what I did to get the attention. I couldn't stand to receive the attention, because whenever I did I remembered what I did to you. I started to realize hat I wanted to make things right with you but I never saw you again."

After she stopped I took time to actually contemplate what she said. She seemed like she was being sincere, and she seemed like she meant it but there was only one way I could be sure. I connected to her mind using Edwards's power and listened to what she was thinking.

I really hope she understands how sorry I am. Although I definitely wouldn't blame her if she never forgave me, I would love to have her as a friend. She might even teach me about their lifestyle. I need to figure out a way I can prove I mean what I say.

I had enough at that point and I broke off our connection. She truly wished for forgiveness, and I will give it to her fully. I don't want her to feel like she owes me anymore. Now I just need to here her story.

"Well, I have to thank you for your honesty and your apology. And I want to tell you that I accept your apology, and I forgive you. I want to make sure you know that you don't owe me anything. I hope we can be good friends." I said warmly.

She first looked shocked, then relieved, and finally happy. She was about to say something when I interrupted her.

"Sorry to interrupt, but can you tell me how you became what you are now?"

She nodded and began her story.

"Well a few months after you left to live with your dad, I was out with a bunch of friends camping, we decided to play hide and seek, but they said to stay near camp but i9 didn't listen. I ran off into the woods and before I realized what had happened I was officially lost.

I wandered around for about an hour when I saw a figure in the distance, I walked towards the figure and I realized it was an amazingly beautiful woman with bright blonde hair. I was so entranced by her beauty that I didn't notice someone creeping up behind me, I was about to say something when I felt something sharp pierce my neck. As quickly as they came the person behind me pulled away and I dropped to the ground as the fire consumed me.

I faded in and out of consciousness and finally after what seemed to be an eternity I awoke. I jumped up and was surrounded by 2 people with bright red eyes, one was the women I saw at first her name was Annabelle, the other was a large man with pitch black hair he was called tanner.

They explained what they were and what I was; they also explained why I was alive. Apparently they had attracted attention form a very powerful vampire coven, which I later found out to be the Volturi. This coven was coming to get rid of them because they had left evidence of there murders. When I asked what I had to do with anything, they told me that they were building an army to fight, and that I was the first of many to come.

They took me to hunt for the first time, I remember feeling sickened by my actions but I found myself unable to stop. Later that day I was sitting in the woods while the others were scouting for new recruits, when I large group of vampires came out of the woods. They had Annabelle and Tanner restrained and looked like they were going to attack me. I was frantic; I knew I didn't want to die. I sat there and watched as they tore apart and burned Tanner, and Annabelle.

I thought for sure I would be next, but much to my surprise one of the Vampires approached me and placed his hand on my head. After a minute he pulled his hand back and offered me a spot with there coven. He explained who the were and what they did. He told me his name was Aro and he introduced his 'brothers'. At that point I was willing to do anything to live so I agreed.

They brought me back to Volturra and I started training to be in there guard. I quickly found out that I had a power, I could freeze time, when Aro found out he made sure I was always by his side. Finally after a few months I began to realize how wrong this lifestyle was. I tried to escape and I was caught by Jane Volturi, I was tortured for days and they brought before Aro again. He informed me that I would be staying with them or he would wipe out all of my family and friends. Anyways I obviously agreed and he made sure I had my power perfected. I lived there and all I did was kill, and train. Finally we came to destroy the wolves and I met you.

That about concluded what happened to me." She finished quickly.

I couldn't believe everything she went through, it was just as bad as what I went through, and all this time since I left phoenix I spent it blaming her for all of my problems. These truly had been something that changed y opinion about her. I understood where she was coming from and I sympathized with her.

I looked over at the vampire sitting on the ground and realized that she was waiting for my response. I quickly shook myself out of my daze and broke the uncomfortable silence.

"I am so sorry that you had to go through those things Tasha, I feel like I have misunderstood you ever since high school, I feel better now but I should probably explain why and how I am here.

So I explained everything that had happened to me since I left phoenix, I told her about falling in love with Edward, and finding out what he was, I told her about James, Laurent, and Victoria. I told her about Edward leaving, and me meeting Jacob who turned out to be a werewolf. I even told her what I went through when Edward left.

B the time I got to that point I told Edward to go hunting so he wouldn't have to beat himself up over what I was feeling.

We e left I continued talking. I told her about jumping of the cliff and Alice seeing what happened, I told her about Edward going to Volturra to ill himself. She told me she remembered seeing him and Alice and I from a distance.

I then explained about what we promised Aro and what happened when we left. I told her about Victoria and the new born army. I told her more about the wolves and how they helped us. I told her about Edward proposing and our wedding, and honeymoon and finally my change and discovering my power. I even told her about our troubles with Tanya. She already knew of the visit we made to the Volturi so I didn't have to explain that part.

When I finally finished telling what had happened to me I realized 5 hours had gone by while we were talking.

It may have taken a long time but we finally understood each other. I had agreed to teach her about our vegetarian ways, and she decided to live in the town near us and attend school with us. Luckily because of her being with the Volturi she had already built up her tolerance of being with people so she actually could attend school.

After we had everything sorted out Edward and I decided to take Tasha out for her first hunt as a vegetarian.

We asked the family if they wanted to go but all of them were busy with there spouses so it was just going to be Edward and I. we were headed to the door when Edward grabbed my hands and held the above my head.

"Edward, what are you doing to my hands?" I questioned. (AN. This was one of the quotes.)

I am using them to hold up my wife while I get a kiss that I have been waiting for, for 5 hours" he said huskily before latching his mouth onto mine.

A few minutes later we were interrupted by a small cough. We untangled ourselves and looked up to see Tasha standing in the doorway with an amused look on her face.

"So are we going to go or am I suppose to stay here and watch you and Edward make out all day." She said sarcastically.

She smirked at us and ran out the door, we followed her quickly.

Here comes another adventure, I thought to myself. Hopefully this one goes well.

A.N. First of all sorry I only used 2 of the quotes but I kind of got caught up in this chapter. I am trying to listen to same advice I got from an awesome reviewer about making my chapters more detailed, so that's what I did here (I wont say the reviewers name for confidentiality but YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE anyways I wanted to say thanks, and tell me if I did any better.).
