Ali: I own nothing but the plot... R&R

Bella's Pov:

She walked into the hotel room and leaned against the door. She couldn't get the agonized face on the man out of her head. She felt tears well in her eyes. She felt so horrible to be the cause of his pain. She curled her hands and pressed them against her eyes to try and stop her tears.

I caused that, she thought.

Her thoughts were filled with him. Carlisle's agonized face, Carlisle's smile, Carlisle's laugh, Carlisle everything. She got up in an attempt to be normal. She put her bag on the bed and she noticed something white on the desk. She opened the letter and read it.

"Cassie."

Bella,

I sent this without any addresses. The Division won't find you if you stay there. We're under control, you don't have to come. Nick sprained his wrist... using chopsticks. Stay there forever.

Cassie

Bella sighed in frustration. Why did she have to stay there? She went through her bag and cursed. She left her pistol under her pillow at the Cullens. She prayed none of them found it.

Carlisle's Pov:

He sat in Bella's room, regretting not telling her his secret. He felt terrible pain in his chest having her away. He laid down on the pillow and felt something that shouldn't have been there. He knitted his eyebrows together and pulled out something he didn't think it was.

A gun.

He had a bad feeling that it had something to do with the fight Bella had earlier. There was a knock on the front door and he looked out the window. His heart was light and happy, given the wieght of the gun. Bella was back. He watched her enter the house and he sat back on the bed, again upset about the gun.

He heard her walk up the steps and looked up as she opened the door. She paused and looked at him with shocked, ashamed eyes. He held the gun by his thumb and index finger.

"What is this for?"

Like he didn't know. He wanted to hear it from her. He wanted to hear the truth from her lips. He mentally shook himself from continuing down that road. He watched her open and close her mouth.

Finally she spoke. "You want to know the truth?"

He simply nodded.

"I'm a Pusher and Mover. You've never heard of this before because the Division is keeping us secret and trying to use us for experiments. The Division is made up of scientist and my kind, though I am a person too, to hunt us down and use us to make weapons for war.

"There are Pushers, Movers, Bleeders, Stitchers, Watchers, and a few more. I know that Alice is a Watcher. I use that gun for self defense like with that Bleeder I fought before."

Carlisle sat there in stunned silence. He wrapped his mind around it and nodded thoughtfully. Finally he had the truth about her, but he knew what she would ask him in return. He looked at the gun in the silence.

"I told you my secret... What's yours?"

He looked up at her with pained eyes. "I can't tell you."

Her face held anger and pain. "I tell you all about a world that is secret from everyone and you can't tell me the truth about you?"

He looked down in shame. His heart broke with every word she uttered. He felt tears prickle at his eyes but they would never fall.

"I'm sorry," he said, his voice cracking. "I want to tell you but I have to protect my family."

"I wouldn't do anything to hurt people that help me. I swear, I swear on my survival, my life. If anyone tortured me I wouldn't tell."

He didn't look up.

"Tell her Carlisle," he heard Jasper say.

"Don't tell her, she'll ruin everything," Rosalie hissed.

He looked at Bella, his heart shattering as he looked at the pain, he's causing that. He shook his head slowly, opening his mouth.

"I'm so sorry."

She turned and walked away. He sat there, listening to her until she was gone. He squeezed the gun before throwing it at the wall. He watched it shatter like his heart did. He turned and saw Rosalie with her arms crossed and her eyes cast down.

"Thank you Carlisle, she would have ruined everything."

He stepped closer, she was what caused him to send Bella away. "You're welcome. I just sent the best thing that's ever stepped into my life away. You are very welcome!"

He pushed past her and went into his office. He slammed te door and dry sobbed at his desk. He would never forgive himself for what he did that day. He would be forever in pain because of the decision he made.

Bella's Pov:

She sat on the bed and cried. She just told him everything, but he couldn't tell her what she wanted most. She packed her things and stormed out of the hotel. She would leave Forks and face the Division. Her heart couldn't take it anymore.

As soon as she walked outside she felt something watch her. She gasped at red eyes on the other side of the road.

Carlisle's Pov:

He heard Alice gasp as she pulled out of a vision.

"Bella!"

Carlisle ran downstairs and stood in front of his daughter. "What is it? Where is she?"

"Hotel, vampire."

He took off without a second thought towards the hotel. His thoughts were filled with Bella's blood being drained by an unknown vampire. He ran impossibly faster and saw a vampire in the bushes and Bella frozen, looking at him. Carlisle stood in front of Bella and glared at the vampire.

"She is not prey. Hunt elsewhere," he talked quickly so Bella wouldn't hear.

The vampire growled but agreed. Carlisle turned to Bella and looked her up and down. She was fine. He shushed her and told her to calm down, her heart rate was faster than it should have been.

"It's alright Bella," he whispered, leading her away from the hotel.

"Now you have to tell me what you are," she said.

He took her into the forest where if it rained it wouldn't be as bad as in the open. He looked around for the vampire or any others before speaking.

"I and my family are vampires..."

She stood there looking at him. "You've kept that from me? I could have died!"

"We're vegitarians," he said, holding her. "We only drink blood of animals so we don't hurt humans. My family will never hurt you... I will never hurt you."

Bella's Pov:

She looked into his eyes and felt her breathing becoming heavier. How could she forgive him for keeping a secret like the one he just told her. He bent down and kissed her. She never felt something so right. She kissed back and held him to her.

She ran out of breath and he broke their kiss. She looked into his beautiful gold eyes. She loved him, she could never do anything to hurt him, she knew. She regretted hurting him before.

"I care about you," he said in an alluring husky voice.

"I care about you too," she whispered, not willing to delve deeper in her emotions.

She stood in front of the door, looking at Carlisle doubtfully. She wasn't convinced they would accept her after what she did. She felt himm grab her hand. She breathed a calming breath and let her emotions go and her face put on that well practiced neutral face.

Carlisle opened the door and she saw the family standing there wide awake. She blinked and wondered why. They should be asleep, she may be wide awake, but normal people shouldn't. She thought for a second, they're nocturnal, but why were they awake in the day?

"We don't sleep," Edward said. "And the sun doesn't kill us."

They sat down and explained about vampires. She didn't take her suspicious eyes off of them. They seemed nice and she finally understood their situation. She thought aout the Volturi.

"If I had known I would have left and not pried."

"You should have," Rosalie said.

Bella kept her emotions and face neutral. She'd dealt with people like her before. She saw Jasper get a confused face from the corner of her eye. She remembered he could read emotions, her acting like she had none confused him. She leaned back and looked at the blond female.

"Well I didn't, so you need to deal with it."

"Our lives were better without you."

"I don't disagree," Bella said. "My life was worse though, running, fighting, barely eating ot sleeping... You've never had to do that in your life, I've done it since I was born."

Rosalie's jaw tightened. "Do explain."
