Chapter 6 ~ The Talk

Bella's POV

We reached our house and just went straight to our rooms. We had one hour before we had to go to meet them. I took this moment to think about him. He looked exactly same, of course. He didn't look happy. I thought he would look happy because he left me because I was just a distraction but he was sad. Why??? Why was he sad? The whole family was sad. Why?

We had five minutes until we had to meet them. I called everyone and rushed to our car. We were going to be late or may be not. Not with my driving. I love speeding. Another thing that changed about me when I turned into a vampire. We reached there in time. We got out and went straight to the door. I was about to ring the bell when Alice came. I should have known that she saw.

"Hey Bella and friends!" She said in a high voice.

"Hey" Kim.

"Hi" Adam.

"Hello" Kevin.

"I guess I'm left. Hi." I answered. Alice chuckled.

"Come in." Alice

We entered in and saw all of them waiting for us in the living room. This evening should be very interesting. We went to them. Alice introduced all of them to my family.

"As you already know; Rose, Emmett, Jasper, Edward and myself. These are our parents; Carlisle and Esme."

"Nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Cullen." Kim said

"Oh please call me Esme. Nice to meet you too." Shaking her hand with Kim and the boys.

"And you call me Carlisle." Stepping up and shaking their hands. "Nice to see you again, Bella." I smiled back. "We should be sited." Everyone went and sat down.

"So where do we begin from?" Esme asked.

"I – We believe you have some questions for us?" Adam asked looking at all of them.

"So why don't you explain yourselves. I mean tell us about what you…" Jasper trailed off.

I knew this had nothing to do with me. Actually it had everything to do with me but I won't talk about my children until they ask me something. Kevin started to talk. They knew very well about what to tell them.

"Well we are half humans and half vampires. Our mom was human and our dad was a vampire. They loved each other so much but apparently something didn't work out. My father left my mom. After he left, my mom found out she was pregnant. We are triplets. When my mom gave birth to us, she died. So that's what we are." Kevin.

"What's with your eyes? Are you guy's vegetarian?" Rosalie asked.

"All of us have different eye color because of our parents. Kim – Kimberly has chocolate brown eyes like our mom did. I have green eyes like our father did. Kevin has grey eyes. We don't really know why he has them. Maybe because we are half humans. And yes, we are vegetarians. Bella helped us with that." Adam.

"How do we believe that? I mean we can't tell because of your eye color. How do you explain yourselves?" Jasper asked again.

"I don't know. I can't do anything to make you believe us. We have been here for two weeks so we would be thirsty. We didn't hunt any human yet." Kim surged.

"Speaking of hunting, how do you feed yourselves? Since you're half human." Emmett.

"We have to hunt and eat food. We hunt twice a month and we eat human food three times a month." Adam.

"Okay, well what about the other stuff? What about your body?" Edward talked for the first time in the evening.

"About ten percent of human blood runs in our body. We cannot sleep. We have a heartbeat, which runs slower then humans. Our temperature is a little bit colder then humans. Our skin is a little harder than humans." Kevin.

"Do you shine in the sun?" Alice.

"Well not really, our skin shines but not in a rainbow form, it's just plain shining. We don't know why." Kim.

Everyone was silent. They all were thinking about the information they were provided with. Then Esme spoke.

"How did you guys meet Bella?" Everyone looked at me. Kevin, Adam and Kim looked at me. They didn't have a story. So I had to make one up.

"I met their mother in Canada. I was there when they were born. After their mother died, I took care of them." Wow where did that come from? Weird.

"What happened with their father?" Emmett asked me.

"Emmett remember, he left their mother. She was alone when she gave birth to them. I was her friend and she knew I was a vampire. So she didn't mind me as a friend." I answered back. I had to admit, I'm better at lying now.

"Who turned you?" Alice asked quietly.

"Laurent." I answered back normally so they won't know that I was lying. Seriously, where is this information coming from? I heard everyone gasp. I looked up and saw all of them angry. It was silent for a moment.

"When were you turned into a vampire?" Edward asked in an angry voice.

Why are they making me lie? I hate lying. "After a month you left me, Laurent visited Forks. He was surprised to see me and see your family not being there. He changed me because he was thirsty; apparently we met when he was hunting." I answered in a soft voice. I saw everyone's shocking faces. They were all thinking very deeply. I waited silently for them to recover or at least talk to me.

"So after a month we left you were changed. Then when and how did you meet their mother?" Alice.

Please stop making me lie. I can't even think of a story anymore. "Umm… we just… umm… bump into each other. And she knew that I was a vegetarian vampire so she asked me to help her with her pregnancy. So I did help her."

"Well the past is past but I believe we have something to apologize for." Esme said that while looking around to her family. I just stared in confusion.

"Yes, we do." Carlisle answered her and then turned to me. "We are all so sorry for leaving you, Bella." Only then I understood what they were talking about. I just stared at them like a dumb ass.

After a long while of silence, I heard Kim sigh. I quickly turned to her. I saw in her eyes that she wanted me to read her mind. I immediately turned my mind reading on.

*Mom what are you going to do?* She kept repeating this in her mind. I took this advantage to read Adam and Kevin's thoughts as well.

*Mom I know you are reading my mind right now. So what are you going to do? Are you going to forgive them that easily?* Adam was slightly annoyed.

*What are you going to do?* Kevin.

Then I turned my mind reading off and turned back to the Cullens. They all were staring in between me and my family. They all then moved their eyes to Edward for an explanation. They knew we were having a conversation somehow. Edward had the same expression as they did.

"I don't know what they were talking about. I couldn't understand. I can't read any of their minds." Edward answered their gaze. They all turned to us.

"One of you is a shield but whom?" Jasper asked. My family all turned to face me.

"I'm the shield." I answered him. Now everyone was looking at me.

"Do you have other powers? And we know all of you are gifted. So what are your powers?" Alice asked. Kim answered her first.

"I can change things into anything I want. I can change people as well. I can change what they are going to do and I can change their faces. I can also return things as they were before." Kim.

"I can invisible anything and I can invisible myself as well with other people. I can also causes you pain mentally. Something like Jane does in the Volutri." Adam.

"My power is like Kim's but it has another advantage, I can change myself as well as other people and things. I can also sense if anything is wrong or if something is going to happen. My last power is to take away someone's strength." Kevin.

Now it was my turn.

"I am a mental shield, physical shield, and I could read their thoughts. My mental shield helps me when anyone tries to get something from my head, they can't, like read my mind. My physical shield helps me when I need to protect myself and anyone else, I can spread the shield very far." I answered.

They all stared at us. It took them a while to come back from wherever they were. Alice spoke.

"You're saying you can read their thoughts?"

"Yes but I can turn it off. Mostly I keep it off." I answered back honestly.

"But why can you only read their thoughts?" Emmett asked.

I immediately froze. I wasn't supposed to tell them that. I couldn't tell them that they were my children. Edward and mine. What was I going to tell them? I saw that everyone was staring at me with curiosity but only my family looked at me with worry deep in their eyes. They knew what I was thinking. I unfroze and answered Emmett.

"I don't know why." I answered in a soft voice. They all kept on staring at me. Before they could ask anything more, Kevin spoke.

"Umm… Bella we have to go." I knew he just came up with that but I was so thankful that he saved me. I turned to the Cullens.

"I guess we have to go."

"Don't go please." Alice said in a soft depressed voice.

"Alice, I have to go."

"Are you going to come back?" Alice.

"Sure. We will meet in school. Right?" I asked.

"Of course." She came running to me.

After a second, Alice was hugging my tightly. I just stood there. I didn't hug back, I was still angry. Alice noticed and unwrapped her hands around me. She stared at me with sad eyes. I knew she felt bad about this.

"We better get going." I told her. I started to walk and my family followed me. Alice came in front of me.

"You explained your part of the story. Now we will like to explain our part of the story. When could we do that?" Alice asked.

I thought about that for a moment. I knew they had something to tell me but I wasn't sure if I wanted to know. I stayed quiet, thinking deeply. I finally answer her.

"We can meet again. Maybe. But not now."

"How about tomorrow?" Alice asked.

I was thinking again. Did I want to know it that soon? I don't know. Oh well. Might as well get it done with it.

"Sure tomorrow will be fine. Now if you can excuse us. We really have to go. We do have plans." Answering her and turning around to the door.

"Bye." Alice called out to us. We all answered back.
