A/N**

(EsPOV)

I just sat there stunned for a moment. Rosalie had jumped out the window shattering it as Sam told us about killing a vampire who had come to town to see Bella. I knew I had to find out if it was my son, my child that they killed because if so I knew I would have to keep it from Bella. It would destroy her if he was gone. It would destroy all of us.

"What did I say wrong?" Sam asked puzzled. I looked at him.

"Sam what did he vampire look like. I need to know if it was my son. Please tell me" I said as I grabbed onto his shoulders begging him to tell me.

"It wasn't your son" he said. I looked at Jacob. "It wasn't Edward"

"How do you know it wasn't?" I asked.

"This man wasn't pale like you and the rest of the Cullen's. He was a light shade of black. Before we destroyed him though he said his name was Laurent. He also said that he wasn't the only one after Bella" Sam said. "Do you know what he's talking about?"

"Laurent was in a coven with another male and a female. Bella's accident last spring was caused by the other male James. He was a tracker, when he got a whiff of Bella's scent it made him crazy. Bella was getting away from him is how he got her. He tricked her into thinking he had her mom, so Bella went to him to save her mom. Our family took care of him, but not before he bit Bella. I assume that the female vampire Victoria had asked Laurent for help in taking care of Bella or something like that. I'm not sure" I said trying to stay calm.

"If this James guy bit Bella, Why isn't she a vampire" Billy asked me. I turned towards him.

"My son Edward wouldn't allow Bella to lose her humanity to become one of us. He would live a lifetime without Bella than to see her go through the pain of becoming a vampire" I said turning toward the broken and shattered window.

"You mean he despises what you are enough not to turn Bella" asked Jacob in a half laughing attitude.

"You know nothing of my son or anything about my family for that matter. Do not speak as if you do. My son would move the heavens to keep Bella safe even if that meant hurting her by leaving" I said as a stared blankly out the window. I could sense someone moving closer to me.

"Esme, what does Bella think of what your family is" asked Emily such a beautiful woman even with the scares she endured from an attack. One side f her face was all mangled up as was part of her arm. She was such a beautiful creation and even in love with a creature that shouldn't exist, much like our race.

"She wished Edward hadn't sucked the venom out. She wants to be like us, to spend eternity with her soul mate, my son" I said without thinking of how they would react.

"You expect us to believe that Bella wants to be a bloodsucker. You are crazy lady" Jacob screamed at me as he lunged for me, but was too slow as Sam pulled me out of the way. Jacob ended up out the window in wolf form. He took off into the forest.

"I'm very sorry. I shouldn't have said anything" I said as I moved toward the door to leave. "I will stay behind and look after Bella. You and your pack don't need to worry about her. She would rather be with bloodsuckers anyway" I said as I darted for Rosalie's car and took off to head home. I couldn't believe that they thought so lowly of us. We have never harmed them. Just outside of La Push I noticed Rosalie along the side of the highway. I pulled over and got out of the car.

A/N **This is a short chapter because I have writer's block and I don't know what to write next. I was going one way, but then decided I wanted to go another direction. Anyway thanks for all the feedback. I hope to reach 60 reviews before posting another chapter.
