A/N- I am not using a beta and I was having a hard time trying with my son trying to cuddle stealing my right hand and arm. So I am sorry for any errors that were left.

Chapter 12: Reunion

"You don't remember me?" It was the softest voice that sounded so beautiful and held such sorrow. I turned and standing near me was the most beautiful boy. And boy do I wish I could remember him. Looking into his eyes I could see his sadness. I had to look away knowing I was going to hurt him more.

"I'm sorry." I felt my own eyes feel like they were tearing up. I felt a hand brush my cheek.

"Forgive me, I did not mean to upset you. Please look at me." His fingers reached by chin to raise it up.

"I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you and I know me not remembering is hurting you."

"Don't think about that. We will help you. You will remember in time and there is nothing to worry about. I will be fine. I was just a little shocked, but my main concern is you. What do you remember that led to your change? What happened afterward that brought you to here?" He was was so gentle and caring trying to comfort me. I felt guilty. Why can't I remember him. He seems like such a wonderful boy. The only thing I had to give in return is what little I could remember so I would tell him what I did know.

"I will try to remember what I can. I recall a man in flames when I was burning. I can feel the gratification of seeing him set ablaze. When I woke up after the change I was on a boat in the ocean." I started to feel the pain of what I did to that family. I looked up at the boy who I now know is Edward and tried to bring myself to tell him what I did . I think he could see it in my eyes the struggle for he pulled me close and held me whispering soothing words. He was reverberating that what ever I was going to tell would not make anyone upset. That nobody was going to judge. It is like he really knew. "There was another boat that came along and drove up along side the boat I was on. When I awoke there was a man leaning over me trying to help me I think. I am not sure how long he was there. I only remember him talking to someone else. He said he thought I was still alive and to call for help. It happened so fast. My ability to hear the words they were speaking was turned off as the sounds of their rushing blood through the veins was pounding in my ears. My reaction to the sound was fast. When I stopped the whole family was dead and lying on the deck. There were other bodies on the deck but their smell told me that I did not murder them. They were the kills of the vampire that turned me. The thing that shattered me was the boy that I killed. He was maybe ten to twelve. How could I kill a child? Why did I not stop? "

Edward stopped me there rocking me telling me that it was not my fault. There was nothing that could have changed the situation. He tried to communicate that he was not upset with me and he said no one else would be upset. He just continued to stoke my hair and rock me as I cried out the pain with tears of venom. Someone handed me something to dry my eyes and face. I turned and saw a man with short blond hair. This must be Carlisle. I then took a look around and noticed a woman with long caramel hair. I was so wrapped up in my own mind that I did not noticed they arrived.

"Thank you."

"Of course sweetheart. I am so sorry you had to go through that alone. I wish we could have been there to help you through that. We would have not let you wake up alone in a strange place with no one to help you. So the other vampire burn to ash?"

"Yes. That is one thing I do remember."

"Do you remember how he was set on fire?"

"I think I know. Just because something happened when I was on the boat after my change. I was wondering what to do with the ...the bodies...I recalled that vampires were to be kept a secret and that I was suppose to bury the animals I feed off, so I new I had to destroy the evidence that a vampire killed these people. I thought about burning the boat and the...people. I was thinking about how the vampire burned and I was picturing the boat on fire and the next thing I knew it was. I tried to set other things on fire later to test and I was able to. I think I set the vampire on fire.

"Amazing. It looks like you are gifted. Eleazar, Is that what you see in Abby?"

"Yes, I just was not sure if it manifested yet or it would soon. Now I have my answer."

"Abby since the boat have you been hunting?"

"Yes. When I was able to get to land I stayed and traveled in the woods. I hunted animals. I remembered some of what I was told. I guess your family is the one that had me well informed?"

"Yes, you were told of many things about with vampires by the family-mostly Edward and Alice. You spent your free time frequently with them. I am happy you were able to bring the information with you through the change and that it aided you in your time since. This is the best location for you to be as a newborn. We will move back up here. We have a residence not too far away. I will have Emmett and Jasper pack and close out the Forks house. Rosalie will help Esme prepare the house for us to live in. Edward and Alice will stay here with Abby and help her adjust. Eleazar and Carmen are kind to let you three stay until the house is ready. I am going back to Forks to settle our affairs and set up our reasoning for our sudden departure. I think we will go with the tragedy of loosing Edwards gi..and Alice's friend is too much for the family to bare that we think it is wise for a change of scenery as to not bring up too many reminders of our loss."

"Forks? My father lives there. You are not from Phoenix?"

"No you were living with your father and sister in Forks this year. You met my children at school."

"I don't remember moving to Forks. I wonder why I can't remember that since it was so recent."

"Maybe you link your traumatizing experience of being changed to the time and people you spent time with in Forks. You mind is just trying to protect itself from what happened to you leading up to your change on the boat."

"Carlisle she bares many marks for her ordeal. I was able to see them when I first found her." Carlise looked stunned and came closer to me.

"Abby, I am assuming you do not remember I am a doctor. Can I take you into another room and see what evidence there may be from your attack? I like to be able to understand so we can help you. I have a theory I may be able to answer if I see what Eleazar mentioned." I was not sure why he needed to but I agreed. I do not feel like these people would hurt me in any way. I trust them even though I do not remember them. "Edward I know you don't wish for Abby to be out of your sight, but I like you to wait out here to give Abby some privacy. I will bring her right back out after a quick exam.

"Is that what you wish Abby?" I was not sure how many of my clothes were going to be coming off so I really did not want anyone to see. It is enough that Carlisle will be seeing me with so little.

"Yes, please. I will already be feeling exposed."

"Fine Carlisle, but please be quick." Hearing Edward talk this way makes me feel like there was more to our friendship than what I thought. He is a very caring boy. He had been doing all he can to make me feel better. I hate that I can't remember him. Gosh he is beautiful.

"Edward, Can you please contact the rest of the family and tell them what I need them to do? I think we should settle this quickly." Edward nodded to him then passed me along to Carlisle.

"I will be right here waiting for you. I will see you soon." He leaned down and kissed the top of my head. He just kissed me. Granted it was not on my lips, but it was still a kiss. The evidence is adding up that we were really close if he is doing that.

Carlisle lead me into a room off the living room. It looked like a library or office. "I am sorry that I do not have a gown for you to wear. Could you please strip down to your undergarments?" I just nodded and took my shirt off and placed it on the desk. I then took off my pants and put that with my shirt.

Carlisle took my hand and lifted it turning my arm so he could view all sides. I was looking too and saw crescent marks that looked like scars all along my biceps that looked like a band that went all around. There was another similar band that went around my stomach. I am not sure if it went completely around. There was another series of marks from my elbow to my wrist.

"Carlisle what made those marks on my skin. Is this normal?"

"Abby I am sorry this has happened to you. Those marks were made with vampires teeth. From the amount you have I will say that you were given them all before your change. The only reason for this many would be to cause you pain."

"He said they made a pretty design and that we was make a tattoo." Oh my. "I recollect something new. I conjure up the pain and the smile on his face. He would bite me and let the venom stay in my blood sometimes to let me feel the burn. Other times he just would place one bite after another with no venom entering any blood streams. I can even relive his laugh as he watch me whither." I did not even realize I was crying venom tears and shaking until I felt someone wrap me in their arms and my face being caressed as my tears were swept away. I realized who it was when I head the comforting words that were coming from Edward.

"Carlisle I think this is enough for tonight. I will bring her to her room and let her rest. This is too much right now." I never head Carlisle respond. He obviously was overrulled by Edward. I realized I was in Edwards arms with very little on when he helped me put back on my clothes. He picked me up holding me bridal style and carried me to a bedroom. He placed me in bed gathering me up to him and just cuddled with me as he petted my head. He made me feel safe. I did not sleep but fell into a relaxing trance listening to Edward hum a melody.
