Bella POV
"Hello, I am Bella, Isabella Whitlock." I said while looking at Jasper for a reaction. His eyes popped open wide. They looked like they might fall out of his head any moment. That thought made me giggle.
"Whitlock?" Alice asked because Jasper was just gaping like a fish out of water.
"Yes Whitlock. My mother was Renee Whitlock." I told them. I started to send out calm waves to Jasper and he snapped up stand in an instance. Maybe I shouldn't have done that just yet?
"Empath? You're an empath?" Jasper asked shocked.
"Not completely. I cant feel what others feel but I can send out any feeling I want." I said shakily. I was scared they'd send me away because of my gift. "I could tell you were in shock. I just wanted to help. I'm sorry if it was wrong of me to do."
"No, no. I'm sorry. I was just stunned. I'm an empath as well. But I can also feel what everyone is feeling." Jasper told me with a small smile while he sat back down. "Renee Whitlock was your mother?" He asked once he relaxed in the seat next to Alice.
"Yes. I don't know who my father was other than that he was a vampire and my mother was human." I told him. I wonder if he even remembers his human life. Does he know that we have the same mother?
"Renee Whitlock was my mother in my human life but my father was human as well. His name was Charlie." Jasper said with confusion in his voice. Then he looked at me with realization on his face. "You're my half sister?" he asked.
"Yes" I stated
"Oh my god I have a sister in law!" Alice squealed as she attacked me with a hug. I laughed and hugged her back.
"I have a sister?" Jasper whispered. He seemed to go back into shock.
"Apparently you do bro." Emmet laughed
"Ok so what, you came looking for Jasper?" Rosalie asked me with a scowl still on her face. Why does she hate me already? I haven't done anything to her.
"Actually no. I was told Jasper was dead." I told her with a scowl on my face.
"Ok well if you don't mind Bella we would love to hear your story." Carlisle asked me.
"Well I was born during the Civil War. After they told my mother that Jasper was dead. Apparently she ran off into the woods because she was so upset about loosing her only child. While in the woods a male vampire found her. I was told that he seduced her and well you know." I said while blushing. I don't want to think of my mother having sex with someone.
"Well apparently she found out she was pregnant a couple of days later. She knew it wasn't her husbands child because well they hadn't done anything in a long time. So she told her friend Jennifer about it. Jennifer actually believed mother. Mother started having craving and couldn't keep human food down. While one day walking in the same woods she met the vampire she caught a bunny and cut it's throat and drank the blood. Jennifer was with her then. Jennifer said she was stunned. She didn't know what to do, she knew that baby was not good. She tried to talk mother into killing the child but mother refused. So her and Jennifer stayed in the woods." I paused here. I didn't want to tell them I had to chew my way out of my mother.
"Why are you scared Bella?" Jasper asked me. Shoot I forgot he can feel my emotions.
"Because you all are going to think I'm a monster. I had to chew my way out of my mother." I sobbed. I really was a monster. I killed my own mother. I never got to know her just of her.
They all gasped.
"She couldn't have me naturally. Jennifer told me that her belly was hard as stone. That she bet a knife couldn't cut through it. I remember it clear as day. I remember wanting out and being in a very small cramped place. My only way out was to tear my way out." I told them with tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Oh you poor dear." Esme said as she sobbed. She couldn't shed tears but if she could I knew she would be.
"So mother died giving birth to you?" Jasper asked me with a frown on his face. He looked sad and hurt.
"Yes. I'm so sorry. I loved her. She talked to me while she was pregnant. I still remember her voice. She talked about you and how much she loved you. She told me everything I know about you. She told me she knew I wasn't human but she loved me." I sobbed. I hated myself for killing my own mother. I wish she could have lived.
"Who raised you?" Rosalie asked. She looked sad as well.
"Jennifer. My mother's best friend. She stayed with my mother. Mother asked her to take care of me if anything happened to her. To not tell anyone about what my mother told her. To protect me and keep me as her own." I felt a small smile come to my face when I talked about Jennifer. Oh how I miss her. I loved her as if she was my mother.
"So she did?" Rosalie asked. I decided to tell the rest of my story.
"Ok I will continue telling you my story if you save your questions for when I'm done, ok?" I asked
They all nodded to go ahead. I took a deep breath to calm myself. Well here I go….
