I got up and walked around, trying to find something that would give me a clue as to where I was, but there was nothing but furniture. There were no pictures, letters or anything that told me someone lived here. But they had to, otherwise, how did I get here? Who brought me here? Is what I should be asking myself, not how I got in.

I heard footsteps approaching and looked for somewhere to hide. It was my first instinct, just in case the person in the room was a rapist or a killer, though if he wanted to do something to me, he could've already done so. I don't know why I assumed it was a guy, but they normally were. I ducked behind the sofa just as the door opened.

From where I was, I could slightly make out their shape in the light from the place they had come in from. I doubted they could see me in my hiding place but I didn't dare move. I saw their hand go up and suddenly, light flooded the room.

I jumped from where I was and threw myself into Jasper's arms before remembering the way we had parted. He had tried to kill me. I should be afraid of him. I should not be hugging him. I released him from my embrace and stepped back with careful steps so that I didn't set him off.

"Bella," he chuckled, "it's ok, I don't need human blood anymore. It is no longer an object of temptation. You are safe."

I wanted to believe him, but I couldn't. I just couldn't forget that he tried to kill me and I guessed he sensed that as he sighed.

"Look," he began, "I know you can't forget what happened, and neither can I. Every time I think about the way I behaved, I want to die. I was a monster, I behaved like one too, and for that, I apologise from the bottom of my heart. Can you forgive me Bella?"

He sounded so torn up and sincere. There was no way I couldn't forgive him. I understood that he had little control over his urges then and was glad he was more like the others now. I stepped closer to him still slightly wary but all that was washed away when he hugged me tightly.

I let myself cry the tears that I had been holding for so long. I hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to any of the Cullens when they left and I missed all of them. Even though Edward hurt me, I would take him back in a second, I still loved him. I was waiting for one of the others to step out and join in with the reunion but when no one did my hopes fell a little.

"Where are the others?" I asked, still kidding myself when I just knew that they weren't here. Jasper looked torn again, this time with the indecision as to whether or not to tell me where the rest of his family were. His look made me worry.

I knew that Alice would never intentionally leave him so something must have happened. Was there an accident? Did other vampires attack them? Just picturing Esme's still body made me want to cry again.

"Bella," he began slowly, "after I attacked you, I ran from the house because I knew that Edward would kill me for trying to hurt you. I haven't seen the others since then and I don't know where or how to find them. I was never good at locating people, Edward and Alice always used to do that."

He looked pained as he said her name. I could tell that he still loved her and I wanted to help them find them but how would I know where to start?

By the time I got too Carlisle's house, it was almost midnight. I could him and Esme talking, their voices were worried and excited as if something big were about to happen. I knocked softly on the door knowing they'd hear. Their talking ceased immediately and footsteps came towards the door. I knew they knew it was me, they'd probably known for a while but refused to acknowledge my presence until I knocked.

I could hear their thoughts, hoping that I had changed. The pictures of me that ran through their minds sickened me. How could that person that held no respect for anyone, least of all himself have been me? What the hell was I thinking of? I had thrown everything they had given me back in their faces and I was sorry. They had every right to hate me yet they didn't. Only Alice, Emmett and Rosalie despised me. Carlisle and Esme still saw me as their son and I was glad of that.

"I'm so sorry," was all I could say as Esme opened the door, Carlisle stood behind her. If I was able to cry, I would be now. My shoulders heaved at the realisation of the monster I had become. Esme stepped towards me and hugged me, rubbing my back and telling me that it would be ok.

I doubted that because I had messed up so badly, but I allowed myself to be comforted by the thought that maybe, if I worked hard enough, it would be almost ok. I needed to right all my wrongs and this was the place to start.

As we entered Seattle, the smell of wet dog filled the air. There were no dogs anywhere and as far as I knew, it hadn't rained for over a week in Seattle. I was wary of my surroundings as I entered, checking every shadow and alley that could hide the owner of the stench. As we passed La Bella Italia, something shot out and stopped in front of us. In the corner of my eye I could see Emmett brace him for a fight and Rosalie unbuckle her jacket so it wouldn't be ruined if there was a fight.
