Author Notes: This chapter was very difficult for me to write. I had a hard time with it. Typing, deleting, typing up something else and finally settled on this gem. Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter Five

Bella looked at Carlisle's eyes, frowning. She was becoming more aware of their lifestyle. The way they don't eat or sleep, or even go to the bathroom. It wasn't natural not to go to the bathroom! Carlisle looked up at her and smiled. She smiled back, but still looked into his black eyes. Weren't they a different color a few days ago?

"Can I help you, Bella?" He asked, softly, aware that she was looking at him funny, aware that she was catching on to things. She even questioned Rosalie about her cold hands yesterday and Rosalie said that she was just cold, but Bella didn't believe her. She went to ask Edward, but he was playing his piano and no one disturbed him when he played.

She nodded, "Your eyes are dif'rent" She said and Carlisle frowned. He hadn't realized he had gone so long without drinking. He would hunt tonight. "And you never eat or sleep or go potty." So she had noticed and finally speaking up. Carlisle motioned for her to come over and picked her up, setting her on his lap.

Carlisle thought for a moment and looked down at the little girl in his lap, "We are different, Bella." He told her, "We're different than from you. We don't need to do the things you do." Bella looked confused. "Bella, have you ever heard of Vampires?" Bella nodded and her eyes widen. She jumped off of Carlisle and stared at him.

"T…The monsters…" Bella finally understood. The monsters that killed her parents were vampires. The Cullens, the sweet, loving family that took her in, were vampires. She suddenly had the desire to run from the room and she turned and left, running as fast as her little legs could carry her.

"Bella!" Carlisle called after her, but Bella didn't stop. She ran outside and into the forest. The Cullens were vampires, monsters!

NO! A small voice in her head said. The Cullens are good. They love you! Not bad, not monsters! They're good and they love you! Bella stopped running, listening to the voice. It was right. They were good. Why did she thinks they were monsters? Why was she suddenly fearful? Never once had they hurt her, just always loved her. She panted. "Not bad." She whispered.

Carlisle came running up to her and bent down. "Bella," He whispered softly and she wrapped her arms around him, crying softly. "Shh, Bella. It's alright." He cooed and picked her up and walked back towards home. "Are you okay, sweetheart?"

"Am now, daddy." She murmured and closed her eyes. Carlisle smiled and took her home. "Sorry, daddy." Carlisle was surprised. Why was she sorry? She reacted the way a normal human would. He rubbed her back soothingly. By the time they arrived at home, she was asleep. He took her to her room and laid her down, covering her up.

Emmett looked at his father figure as Carlisle came down the stairs. "What's going on? Why was she upset?" He asked. He didn't like it when his baby sister was sad. He didn't like it when anyone was sad. He was a cheerful, teddy-bear type-of-guy. Carlisle sat down and looked at his family.

"She knows the truth, now. Who we are." Carlisle said. "She was questioning it and I told her. She reacted badly, but she'll be fine." He studied the faces of his children and wife. Esme looked happy, pleased that Bella finally knew. Rosalie didn't look pleased or displeased.

Emmett was grinning like an idiot. "Now Jasper and I can be loud and rowdy!" He laughed and everyone rolled their eyes, and then Emmett's face got really, really serious. "We have one possible problem, guys." He said, dead serious.

"Volturi." Edward and Emmett said at the same time.

"If they discover that Bella knows about us…" Edward said.

"They'll kill her!" Jasper finished, with sadness and regret in his voice. "We've all but condemned her to death." Alice took his hand and squeezed it and everyone exchanged looks. They forgot about the Volturi, an annoyingly powerful family of vampires that uphold the laws of their world. Everyone turned to Alice.

"I keep a watch out for the Volturi." She promised, everyone relaxed for the time being. "I promise, if I see them in any vision, I will tell you right away. But we should move for a while. Maybe we should take Bella to Isle Esme for a while until we find a new place to settle, then in a few years or so, we can move back here." It was a solid plan and they agreed to it.

"We'll tell Bella in the morning. Right now, I think we should relax." Carlisle said, "And I do have to go to the hospital tomorrow and do some work and prepare and find a hospital to transfer to." He stood up and held out his hand for Esme to take. Esme took his hand and Carlisle lead her to their room and shut the door. Edward shuddered at hearing their plans.

Bella woke with a start and climbed out of bed. The house was silent and dark. She went to Carlisle and Esme's room and opened the door after hearing low grunts and growls. "Mama? Daddy?" She whispered into the dimly lit room and everything went deathly quiet as Bella's eyes widen upon seeing Carlisle and Esme naked and they stared at her. Bella wasn't sure how to react to that.

In the forest, a mile or so away, Alice stopped eating and looked up. "Oh. My. God." She said out loud, pronouncing each word. Jasper looked at her. "Oh my god…"
