Chapter 6

Dr. and Mrs. Cullen walked in hand in hand. I started to get nervous again. Carlisle quickly approached me.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I would assume you are part of the coven how just moved in a couple miles away?" he asked with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Y…Yeah" oh man I stuttered I always stutter when I am nervous. "We moved from Italy."

"That's interesting" Carlisle continued "Have you ever had any run-ins with the Volturi?"

"Yeah we lived in Volterra, Italy. The Volturi are the ones who changed Bella."I said keeping my eyes on the floor. A chocked gasp came from Edward. I felt guilty from telling my moms story. It just came out. I looked up to see the horrified and guilty face of my father's family.

"Which of them did it?" Edward asked in strangled breaths. It was too late for me to make up something.

"Alec, Aro, Jane, Marcus, Cauis, Felix, Chelsea, Demetri, Renata, and Heidi." I said without missing a beat. "The all bit her at the same time from her shoulder to the middle of her back." I growled. "Her changed lasted three weeks instead of three days."

Edward stormed out of the room. It was obvious he couldn't take it. I felt bad. I had nothing against Edward. He feels awful about leaving her. The rest of the family was speechless. I would be too upon just hearing this. All the emotions made me feel sick. I had to leave.

"Could you excuse me" I said and ran.

As I made my way to the door I could hear Jasper explaining why I had to step out for a moment. I grabbed the doorknob when I heard music playing in the other room. Debussy. This was my favorite CD ever. I owned it and listened to it every day. I walked in the room. Edward was lying down on a black leather sofa with his eyes closed.

"She still loves you" I whispered. Edward jumped up even though he must have heard me enter.

"What" he demanded.

"Bella….. She still loves you"

"How can she love me after what I have done to her" he eyes were filled with rage.

"It's what she wanted. She's happy now as a vampire. Sure you hurt her but through that you made her stronger. She's my hero. She has helped so many people." I now realized I was crying. Edward didn't question why. "She had never even tasted human blood because of your family's example. She has changed people into vampires but refused to swallow the blood which I have tried and it's impossible. She was tempted to taste human blood the first day as a vampire. Aro locked her in a room with a bleeding human. She was in there for three hours. They gave up knowing she wasn't going to give in. Your family has helped her in so many ways. I love Bella. We are very close. She is the best person I have ever known. All because of you so, don't make yourself miserable. I want her to be happy. That's all our whole coven wants. She's not miserable but at times she is missing you."

"You are so lucky you can cry." Edward whispered.

I now realized I was sobbing. I felt two arms wrap themselves around me and pull me close. I was my father's arms. WhereI should have always been.
