Part 3 - Telling The Elders

As soon they pulled up at the council hall of the tribe, Bella was helped out of the car by Jared and Sam went ahead and held the door open for them all, as the talk inside was subsided for now, as they too heard the door and the car pulling up to the house, and now turned to see who had come and wanted to disturb their meeting, as the car that had pulled up had been at a rush of stopping outside.

Soon after that, they all saw Sam and Jared, but also a female, that some of them knew, and one of them was Billy, who gasped out;

"Bella, what are you doing here?!" Bella stilled in her step, and stepped closer to her Sam and Jared, who wrapped a gentle arm around her each, and pulled her closer. Neither of them said anything as of yet, and Old Quil who also recognised her, said

"Bella?" Bella looked up and over to Old Quil, and all of them then saw her give a big, wide smile towards the Eldest, and said

"Uncle Quilly." At that he chuckled, and smiled aswell, as the others were shocked of hre admission of what she called their Eldest Elder. He held a hand out, and she stepped towards him, and taking his hand in hers, and he felt that she was sweaty, and when looking closer to her, he saw she was rather pale, paler than normal, and he gently laid his hand onto her cheek, and she leaned into it, and he said

"My sweetheart, what happened to you?" And Bella just broke down, and told him in Quileute that she knew from him, and he had shock and anger on his face, before pulling her into his arms, and he said

"I always will believe you, my sweetheart. You are of my blood, therefore family. Always will." And Bella was crying into his chest, as he held her rocking her gently. Sam and Jared shared a shocked look, as they didnt know that she could their language nor that she was niece of Old Quil. Same with the others around them, and Bella soon pulled away, and he rubbed her face clean from the tears, and he said

"It is alright now, you are safe now." Bella gave him a small smile and nod at that, for she knew by his words she was very safe now. She then stepped back to Sam and Jared, who wrapped their arms around her waist or shoulders again. Sam's father said

"What is going on here, Samuel?" Sam sighed, then Old Quil said to spare both him and Bella for telling her story all over again;

"Bella is my grand-niece by blood, as her grand-aunt, Molly, my wife was a Swan and sister to her grandfather Geoffrey. She calls me Uncle over grand-uncle for I am alot closer than a grand-uncle supposely are to their grand-nieces and nephews. And I think if I am right, that Sam and Jared here, has imprinted on Bella."

Bella blushed, as the others gasped, and Billy had only anger and disbelief on his face, and Sam said

"You are correct, Eldest Elder, we both have imprinted on Bella, and she has not only accepted that but we also are on the friendship stage, as to what has happened to her back in Phoenix, and also for we don't know each other that well to go for a relationship."

Old Quil nodded and was rather pleased with this, and Bella smiled gently, and said

"I always will choose my men over anyone or anything else. Sam and Jared are my men and my future."

Many were confused of what Old Quil meant by his statement of what had happened to Bella in Phoenix, and Billy still rather pissed off, just blurted out;

"What happened in Phoenix, and why are you not with my son?"

Bella sighed, as most were shocked of his question, as they could see the pain flicker on her beautiful face, Sam and Jared both had growled under their breaths, and Bella said

"First off, your son is nothing to me, never was in first place. Jacob is just a little boy with a horrid crush on an 18 year old girl, that has no feelings of sorts towards him, Billy Black. He is nothing but a spoilt brat of yours and my father, his god-father, for you can't see what he is about to become unless you reign him in and tell him to grow the fuck up and move on from his silly crush on me. That I never will return, nor love him for he is not ever my choice never will be either. My choice is both Sam and Jared, who is not only closer to my age, but they also imprinted on me earlier on the beach, and I have accepted it all, for I know in due course of time, I will love them both like a girlfriend later a wife will do. Something Jacob never ever will have a shot at, for I do NOT love that boy in that way. Never did, All i ever felt was scared of his behaviour egged on by you and my stupid arsehole of a father who never been a true father to me, same with my mother. But unlike my father, my mother has moved on, and found love again, and Phil is an amazing man for sure. Your wish to have me in the family ends today, Billy Black. And you should tell Jacob the same thing, for he never ever will have a shot at having me as his girl or whatever else he wants me for. NEVER."

Bella then stood back and held onto to her boys, who had only pride and joy of what she had said so far. Billy like the others were shocked of her words at Billy, who only turned more red of anger or embarrassment or even both was incensed of what she had said so far, and Josh, Sam's father, said

"And what happened in Phoenix, if you are able to talk about it, as I can see the pain in yours, like my son's and Jared's face when that was mentioned earlier?"

Bella sighed, then looked up, and into Josh's eyes, and said

"I was raped after a late night shift at the diner I worked as a server, a man older than you, but alot younger than Uncle Quilly attacked me brutally and raped me visously. He took my virginty that evening and feeling safe. He is in jail now, for not only did he attack and brutalise me with rape, he had raped 10 more females in the area, before I managed to get him caught by his DNA and semen found in me after a re-traumatising rape-kit at the hospital was done on me. He is the reason why I am not able to be with your son and Jared in the sexual manner just yet, for I am still hurting and terrified from that ordeal, while I know your son and J would never do that, it is just a fear of mine, that I have to let go something, as I do want to be with your son and J in that way one day of course. I am also not in love with them yet, but I already know I do love them, for they are perfect as they are and I know they will care and love me back for the person I am today. Something others would not be able to let me be, for their sick needs of me being who they want from their sick dreams and crush, will not happen. Jacob Black can go to hell and grow up and move on. Charlie, my dad, if he ever believes in me, and reads what I said in my report of my rape, he will also see the damn truth that I never will go for his precious god-son who is sick boy of a sick crush on an older woman that I am. No thanks to himself or my mother, who never allowed me to have a normal childhood, for I was the one who took care of them, not them of me. Ever."

Many were in shock, disbelief and anger of what she had said so far, while both Josh, and Jared's dad, who was also here with his own wife, Jeremy and Caroline, had only pride and joy on theirs, despite also anger of what their son's imprint had been through. Billy only had disbelief and anger on his for now. Old Quil said

"I am so proud of you, my niece, for telling them what had happened to you, and I hope to gods that man suffers now he is caught of what he did to you and those other women."

"4 of them were younger than myself is, uncle, and the others around my age, and all of us were virgins until his attack on us. So yes, I do hope he suffers badly in prison, being a child-sex predator, we all know his life in there will hard and short for no other prisoners likes those people who prays on children."

Many chuckled or choked on her tone of this man's fate was rather cold and hard one. Sam and Jared just grinned by her side, and still held her waist or shoulders in gentle manner. Sue said

"What was your injuries of that night? And is they still bothering you to this day?"

Bella smiled softly at her, and said

"I was raped brutally, but also beaten black and blue. I also had a broken arm, that is healed now. But I still have bruises on my inner thighs and chest area, as it would take time to heal those, for how brutal that man was towards me. So I still have some issues of certain positions to sleep on or sit down. I also have flashbacks on and off, aswell difficulties of being touched unless I give permission of doing so first. I do go in therapy even here, for I need it still. I trust Sam and Jared despite we don't know each other that well, call it intuation or that our bond makes us trust each other. I also have alot trust towards Uncle Quilly, for he is family afterall. And he would never ever hurt me."

Sue nodded, and others were shocked of hearing what her damages were, and that she actually already trust these two boys or men by her side, and that Quil Sr was her uncle by blood, was a shocking revelation for sure. Harry by Sue's side, said

"I will also trust, and believe in you, dear. For I don't know if you know this, for while Billy believes he is your god-father, that is not true, for that is I and Sue your god-mother, something that your mother before she left with you in her arms that evening she did, became, for she could see that Billy was not thrustworthy of your life, that he would care for you like we will do from here on out."

Bella smiled, and said

"I did know, Harry, for my mother told me a few years ago, when I asked if I too had godparents, like Jacob has my father for some reason. And my mother told me that she was asked to be his god-mother but like with Billy, she had no good feelings of being his god-mother for she didn't even know Billy nor Sarah that well, that Charlie seemingly thought he does to this day. She felt he was just a troubled boy, who would need a harsh hand in how to raise him and how to teach him what love is about really. My mother wishes to give her hello and love to both of you."

At that Harry and Sue both grinned and nodded, as Sue said

"If you talk to her, tell her to give us a call aswell. For we do miss her."

Bella smiled and nodded her head at that. Sam and Jared just grinned still, and held onto her the same way. Billy was just incensed by her words about Jacob, himself and Charlie, that she called her father by his name over calling him father, it was shocking not to him, but to the others. But they could somewhat understand her now on that matter for sure.
