Note: Hey people! I hope you all like the last one; again I'm sorry for the time it took. It's time to explain everything to the boys about what happened to Bella.

Chapter 24: Revelations

BPOV

We all sat in the kitchen. It was late, almost 3, but of course we weren't tired. Bree and I were on a love seat, Edward, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie were on the couch, and Jasper, Esme and Carlisle were standing.

"Well...it's been a while." I couldn't look at Edward so I looked at Alice instead. She had a smile on her face and I knew it took all her control to keep from jumping up and hugging me. I knew she loved me as a vamp. They all did. Except Edward.

"Bella, why don't you start by telling us what happened?" Esme's gentle voice calmed me, or maybe it was Jasper. Either way I calmed and talked.

"James took me about two months ago. We were somewhere outside Seattle. I don't know why we came here for the concert...Anyways...um, for about two weeks I was human. Laurent fed me and I was free to roam the house." I didn't want them knowing that I had to stay in my room for a while first. And nothing about James' advances.

"One day I was washing the dishes because I was bored. Laurent was talking to me and I was distracted. The knife I was cleaning slipped and cut my arm. There was a vein too and it sliced through. Laurent changed me because I asked him too...I didn't want to die and I didn't want to leave you all so he changed me." I waited, to let it all sink in. No matter what Laurent had saved me. After a minute I started again.

"After my change, as you can see, I didn't want to have human blood. Only animal blood. Bree can vouch for me." I smiled to my self-appointed sister and continued.

"Even though they didn't agree with my life style they still brought me food. Mostly because Bree would annoy the hell out of them at first. But after some time it came naturally. Though they'd all try to get me to switch."

I saw both Alice and Rosalie look at me sadly. They had Emmett and Jasper when they were turned. I didn't have the love of my life. Only a friend. And she was so fragile herself I didn't want to lean on her.

"I spent my time playing the piano," I smiled at Edward for a second. I had wanted to remember him, that's why I played." And I also sang and read. I taught Bree how to play and we started playing regularly. Laurent heard us once and said we should start a band. I didn't object. I was bored anyways." I knew the next part my elicit some growls.

"Riley, --" A growl came from the throat of Edward, Emmett and Jasper. "He got us a place to record. And after recording day and night for a week, we got a show contract. That's where you found us..." I looked away. I couldn't cry, but knew I would have if I could.

"Bella, why didn't you try to escape when you were turned?" Emmett's normally loud and crazy voice was low and sad. It hurt me deep down.

"I couldn't I was afraid...I was sure something would happen to Charlie before I could get here. I didn't even know where we were until we left yesterday...and I also wasn't sure if I could resist human blood if I was in the open..." I looked away again...

"Laurent also had her under his spell as you can say..." Bree's low voice would have been impossible to hear if not for vampire hearing.

"He told her Edward didn't like her anymore and that he wanted her out of the picture...he wanted to hurt you for not following him when he turned you. James had stayed in touch and they wanted to hurt you. That's why they took Bella."

Everyone looked deep in thought, Especially Edward

EPOV

He made her believe I didn't love her! I can't believe that asshole! I'll show him what happens when you mess with someone I love, especially such a beauty as Bella. And she was beautiful! Her pale skin and dark hair contrasted so much it was beautiful. I couldn't think of anything other than beautiful.

"Bella, I could never stop loving you." I looked at her. She was pained...

"how can I be so sure anymore...I...I don't know what's the truth and what's a lie!" She got up and went to the corner. She sat on the floor and started dry crying. I wanted to go to her but Alice went first, followed by Rose.

"I think you should leave her for a bit Edward. C'mon, you need to eat. Your eyes are as black as Laurent's heart."

Which is going to be out of his chest.

He added in thought. I knew what he meant.

He and the other two went hunting. They are probably close to here.

I looked at Bree, she nodded and went to Bella. The girls were bringing Bella to a room.

"Put her in my room. It has a big bed..." And with that we left.

BPOV

I was being brought to a room. When we entered I recognized it as Edward. There was a big bed with black blankets with purple lace around the edges and black and purple pillows.

"He got it for you...He thought you'd like it." Alice told me.

"It's perfect." I barely managed to whisper.

They put me down on it and all sat around me. I could tell both Rosalie and Alice had questions but were worried I would break down again.

"What is it girls?" I asked.

"Well..." Alice hesitated.

"Go on Alice, I won't bite...hard..." She smiled at my attempt to joke around and lighten the mood.

"You know Edward loves you Bella...He was the one searching the hardest. He kept going to see Charlie to see if there was any news on you and he and Charlie practically never stopped talking about possible ways to find you. He loves you Bella..." Alice finished in a whisper and slipped into a vision.

She was staring at the distance and we were stuck not knowing anything. After a few minutes she snapped back to us and jumped up off the bed.

"Rosalie, stay here with Bella. Bree, come with me!" Without giving the small girl a chance she was yanked up and brought downstairs. I heard words, but couldn't make them out. Then I heard a car start and drive away.

Both of us didn't know what happened but we weren't about to ask.

"Let's get you changed Bella. I'm sure you'd like a hot shower and some new clothes." She got up and offered me her hand.

"Yeah, a shower sounds great..."

My last thoughts before going into the bathroom were of Edward.

I do love you!

Note: it's short, I know but I wanted to have something up before the weekend and it's a long one. Also my computer has been freezing a lot so I will only be able to update when I'm at school (just over a month left!) so I'll probably only post on Tuesday at the earliest. I love you all for reviewing and please continue! R&R!
