Chapter 6 – Secrets Revealed

Things happened very quickly then. Edward made a move to shift me out of the way, while Emmett and Jasper advanced on Sasha. This couldn't be happening. I quickly dodged out of Edward's reaching hands and flung myself in front of Sasha's cowering form.

"Bella, get out of the way" Edward hissed.

I shook my head, and lowly stated, "You have to get through me first."

Stunned, they fell back. "You're one of them? You're a Werewolf?" hissed Rosalie.

I took a breath. "Yes."

"How?" whispered Edward in horror.

I took a deep breath and began explaining the second time I died. "I was driving home one night and got a flat tire. When I pulled over, I was attacked by one. It ripped up my entire chest. I was so out of that when Sasha knocked it out of the way I didn't even notice. When sun rose, I, well, wasn't human anymore. Sasha helped me after that with everything. I did school work at home on the air. When I handled graduation well, we decided to try college."

"God. That's why you smell all weird, why I can't see you and why you act all funny," whispered Alice.

Swallowing, I said desperately, "It doesn't change anything. I'm still me. Sasha said I'm the best at control she's ever seen and she's old. Sasha's cool too. She never hurt anybody. I never hurt anybody. Sasha saved me. Please. Don't leave us."

Rosalie was first to recover. "Well, I don't mind. Who's to say we can't exist in peace? If they can survive in college, they can do anything. Why can't we be a family of vegetarian vampires and werewolves? I promised Bella I wouldn't leave her."

Edward slid to the floor in agony. "It's all my fault" he moaned.

"Don't you dare leave me again! I won't survive," I wailed, tears coming thick and fast down my cheeks. I fell to my knees beside him and placed my hands on either side of his face. Looking deep into his eyes, I gave one last whispered "please".

Edward searched my eyes before exhaling loudly. "I don't think I could leave you again" he admitted finally. My response was an explosive and passionate kiss. After finishing the kiss, I searched the rest of their faces, hoping that they would take Sasha and me in.

"I think I speak for all of us by welcoming both you and Sasha into our family", Esme spoke with a beaming smile.

"Wait." We turned to Jasper in confusion as he stared down at Sasha with intense scrutiny. I felt Edward stiffen next to me and he turned to glare at Sasha. "It's very rare to find two werewolves close together. Was it really another werewolf who attacked Bella, or was it you?"

Sasha's face was furious. "How dare you accuse me of that!" she hissed angrily.

"You guys are nearly extinct. I was merely wondering how you were in such close proximity to counter attack the other werewolf", he stated calmly.

I was astonished. I had never actually considered this. Why had she been there? I thought queasily.

Sasha closed her eyes, no doubt in attempt to calm herself down. "I didn't attack Bella", she said coldly.

"Then, why were you there?"

"I was tracking him." She opened her eyes, the pain on her face evident. "You have to understand. We are on the brink of extinction. I would be the oldest one of my kind in existence. Your disgusting rulers have hunted us down to the brink. I had to do something to ensure our survival. I couldn't bear to make another, so I tracked others down in an attempt to prevent them from their gruesome fate at the Volturi's hands. If I tracked them down, I would like to hope that I could teach them control so they could hide from your kind.

"The werewolf that attacked Bella was the first I found. He escaped and I haven't noticed any werewolf signs since," She finished, looking down at her feet. Hesitating, she glanced up at Carlisle.

"Will you turn me over to them?" she whispered. "Because if you are, I would rather you kill me instead."

Carlisle looked shocked. "Of course not. If I had my way, you would have been released. I left instead, and haven't been there since." He hesitated, "if I may ask, why did they capture you ... and how did you escape?"

Staring hard at the wall, she swallowed and began to tell them her past.
