How can she think she is not special? Is she crazy? I guess we have to try to befriend her and get her to trust us before we can tell her that she is apart of us. Apart of us in everyway, apart of me, the person that completes me. She makes me smile when I don't even realize it. It is so good to see her after all these years, but something needs to be done about that vile creature she is leaving with.

"We better get to class, don't worry Edward we will get her to trust us. Don't forget she is in our English class and you have her in your bio. Befriend her" Alice was telling me with a smile, I know she is right, but I feel like she should remember me, I remembered her. Then again I did not live the life she did, I ran my fingers through my hair it's the one thing that helps me calm down. I realize it I usually do it when Bella is involved some how some way.

Alice and I walked to English class, and there sat Bella in all her glory. She looked radiant; she had her hand on her cheek I knew she was trying to cover up the bruise. People seriously couldn't be that dense in this town to not see what is happening.

We went to take our seats and she turned and smiled at me. Wow, she had a beautiful smile. She has vampire qualities defiantly. She has crystal white teeth, they almost look a bit sharp, but not noticeable to a human, but to me I can see it. Her hair gets shiner everyday. I wonder if she gets hunger pains for blood. Yeah I can see me walking up to her and saying so Bella did you hunt down and delicious blood lately? She would really have me hauled off to the white room with the white jacket. I have no idea what I am going to do.

Class was boring beyond anything I have ever faced, if I could sleep, I would have been out cold by now. I glanced over at Bella and I couldn't help but smile. She was playing with my heart bracelet that used to adorn my mothers wrist. She kept it on the same wrist as I stuck it on when she was three years old. I wish I could tell her that is my heart that she was touching, but it was not the time yet. I didn't want her running off or worse hating us.

The bell rang and she got up with out saying anything. I think she thought we would try to force her to talk about what happened to her. I really have no idea what to do about this situation.

The morning passed by so slowly it felt like a decade went by before lunch. I wanted to see Bella again, I was going to get her lunch because I never see her eat, and that girl needs to eat. I remembered her favorites for when she was a little girl; I still hope they are her favorites still. I picked up a disgusting looking orange try I saw chocolate pudding, I laughed to myself I remember when she was two and Esme made her homemade chocolate pudding her face was priceless. She acted as if she won the lottery over something so small. Esme was not to happy that she got it all over the white carpet, and the pillows and then she threw it up on Alice… and that was quite funny. They had pizza, but it didn't look appetizing nor did it smell pleasant so I skipped it. I saw a chicken sandwich I know she loves chicken. She would always beg Esme to cook chicken I remember she tried to eat it raw once. I am so blessed to have these memories and she doesn't even remember doing it. It hardly seems fair. I grabbed her a 

drink and French fries and paid for it. I made my way over to my family where they had there props, but today this was not a prop.

"I have never seen you look for what you actually wanted to put on your tray. What gives?" of course Emmett always has to ask the stupid questions.

"This is for Bella; I want her to join us today for lunch. I can't stand seeing her by herself. We have left her alone far to long." As I mentioned her name she was taking her seat at the table across from us.

I was just about to ask her to come to our table, but Alice beat me to it

"Hey, Bella" Alice was waving at her to get her attention. She looked at us weird again. I so wish I knew what was going though her mind at this very moment.

"Hi Alice, hi guys" she gave a little wave. I can tell she didn't like to be in center of attention because as people started to stare at her for talking to us she made a curtain with her hair.

"Would you like to join us for lunch" I asked gesturing to the seat across from me

"Who stuck you up to this?" what did she me

"What?"

"This is a joke right? I mean no one here wants to have lunch with me or sit at a table with me, but yet the most beautiful people in this school are asking me to sit with them? "she asked, she had that little stance that Alice taught her when she was three. It was cute then, now it's just hot.

"Would you just sit and not be difficult?" I asked her hoping she would not take my words the wrong way but I had to let her know that we would not hurt her not on purpose.

She pulled out the chair next to Emmett and just looked at him wide-eyed she saw his arms. Yes any human would because scared of them, but she was not human nor did she look scared just amused.

"What steroids are you on?" We all busted out laughing that people started to stare. She was just the one who was not laughing. We have not laughed like this in awhile

"I'm on none why do you ask?" Emmett was enjoying having this conversation with her. He liked talking about his body. God him and rose were a pair.

"Uh, I never saw a man have arms like that before. Sorry if I assumed something"

He patted her on her head, she smacked his hand away. It was fun to watch, she did the same thing when she was younger.

"Get off, I'm not your dog" Alice had to try to keep her mouth in a hard line from laughing. She did not succeed. I thought Emmett would be upset but he just grinned. It was like having family back together again. I almost forgot about her food



"Here eat, you need to eat" she looked at me while I pushed the tray in front of her. I can tell she was hungry. I'm surprised when she didn't protest "are you sure, I don't want to eat your lunch" I saw her lick her lips. "You have my favorites on this tray, I love chocolate pudding" she smiled. It was so easy to please her.

We all watched her eat, it has been so long since we saw her eat and it was still fascinating or maybe it was because we were just bored with each other. Thank god she didn't really notice us watching her.

"Thank you" she said, I smiled back at her. She then put on her headphones and leaned back on her chair against the wall. I thought she might fall so I stuck my food under the chair to help balance it.

Then out of the blue a male was standing at the front of our table next to Bella. I felt a rumble in my chest, he had vile images about her. It's like she didn't even know his presents, but then something strange happened the kid was about to sit down next to her. With out her opening her eyes she put on of her legs on the chair he was about to knock it off and she said "touch me and I'll break your wrists" we were shocked my the harsh tone in her voice. Well he had no right to touch her, it's like she had a sixth sense about things. I know she had powers when she was three, I wonder if she got more powerful. Duh Edward of course she did, I wonder if she knows what she is.

After lunch she didn't talk much, the end of the school day was finishing. We got in the car and we dropped her off.

"Have a great day Bella!, call me if you need anything maybe we can go shopping" of course Alice had to get the shopping bit in

"we will be here tomorrow morning to pick you up for school" she smiled a true smile at us.

"Thank you all really, I'll see you later Alice and I don't know about the shopping thing" Alice frown and it made us all laugh

"If it means that much to you maybe I can sneak away for a day but I can't promise anything" I didn't want her to get in trouble to make Alice happy.

"She will survive if you can't go, she has enough clothing to last the next 500 years with out ever going shopping again" she looked stunned at this confession.

"Well thank you for the ride, I better get in I have stuff to do have a good day all of you and give my regards to your parents" she was so kindhearted she got out of the car and walked up to the front of her house. I wish she knew my parents where hers as well. Technically they were hers I was just stand in adopted boy.

"Lets go home you guys, we have to talk to Carlisle and Esme"

I had to come up with a plan to get her back at the house so we can talk.

We can ask her to come for dinner tomorrow night, Charlie is going fishing for the weekend



She will come if you ask her too.

I was so happy to hear that I can get her to come to the house for the day, but I was afraid that Charlie would still find out. Not afraid for us, but for Bella's sake. We pulled in the drive way and I heard panic thoughts coming from both Carlisle and Esme. Something must have happened.

How could this happen, we were so careful, I gave up my daughter for her safety. Carlisle thoughts were going haywire

We all walked in the house and we were stunned at what we saw. Carlisle was angry and Esme was cleaning up broken furniture.

"Did something happen?" I asked afraid of the answer

"It's ok I lost my temper that is all" Esme lost her temper? Emmett and I looked at each other afraid. We backed up to the wall we never seen Esme mad.

"He has the nerve to stick his hands on my child, I never wanted to kill someone on my life, I want to get my hands around than mans neck and snap it or make him suffer some painful death. He would have to beg for death a thousand times before I'd kill him" Esme knows from her past how it feels to be beaten and to have her child go through the same fate was to much to handle. The next thing that shocked us all was the next thing she said

"I will bit him a little bit everyday, tick in a little bit of venom and then suck it out and then repeat the process and watch him wither in pain for days, then I will dismember him and then set him on fire and watch him burn" oh, angry Esme is scared.

"Calm down, we will get her back don't worry, I want to do the same thing to that bastard as you Esme, but we have to think of Bella" he was trying to calm her down but I couldn't keep it in any longer. I kept it in to long.

"We did think of Bella and look at where it got her. He has no life in her Eyes Carlisle. Do you remember when she would look at you with the big topaz eyes of hers and then they would sparkle?" he just nodded " she lost that, I look at her, she is not the same person anymore. She would have never went through this if we would have thought it through. The women I love gets her ass beat every night because of what we did. Your own flesh and blood don't even know who you are and I know it's killing you inside" I had to stop for a second I had to calm down or I would completely lose it. "She don't even remember me" I said just above a whisper it was so much pain to even admit that she didn't even remember. Remember that she was my beautiful Bella. "Do you know what she said to us this morning? She told us, there is nothing special about her, she is a nobody" I know that cut a knife right through his heart, but he had to know I see her and I know she suffers more than she lets on.

"She begged for him to kill her the night I found out that she was getting beat, she said death couldn't come fast enough. Your own daughter wants to die. She doesn't think life is worth living anymore. She thinks she has nobody out there and Charlie is her only way out. I know she tried to commit suicide I saw 

cuts on her wrists. I have been to medical school, I know when someone tries and fails" if he could be crying he would be by now.

"It's my fault, I stuck my daughter into this, we have to get her out" Carlisle said holding on to Esme mostly for support. It was getting late outside and we all looked out the window we smelled a familiar sent, Bella.

BPOV

Today was the first time in a long time since I smiled and laughed it felt so good. I think I made friends for the first time in my life; it was like they accepted me. They were different like me. I hurried up with cooking dinner; I wanted to get it done before oh Master Charlie came home. I don't know if I could control myself if he started beating on me tonight. I had a wonderful day and I was not going to let him ruin it. Shit I cursed to myself I burnt the potato's oh this is not good. I didn't have enough times to fix new ones. Panic was rising in my chest, I hope he had enough food. I cleaned the dish before he knew what happened. And then the front door opened.

"Ah, the bitch is home. Nice to see you are keeping up with your duties and not whoring around the town. I'm leaving tomorrow, no funny business do you hear me. When I call this phone I expect you to pick it up" I just nodded my head and looked down at the floor. I put food on the plate for him and stood there till he was done.

"This is it where is the rest of it? I work all day I expect to have dinner" I couldn't hold in

"I'm not your wife; if you want one go get one. For the life of me, I have no idea who would want you" every word had anger in it. "You couldn't even keep your first wife" I knew that was hitting below the belt way bellow the belt. I was sick of being the poor girl that would cry over everything if I wanted things to change I would have to stand up for myself no one else would.

He flipped over the table and he picked up the knife and stuck it to my neck.

"I dare you to do it" I challenged him, I felt the blade pressing against my skin, I felt the cold fluid drip from the dip of the knife that pierced my skin.

" I will kill you in a heart beat and no one will go looking for you body. Do you know who I am?" he asked me like he was god or something.

"No the question is, do you know who I am?" I made my eyes go cold black and he backed away, I heard his heart speed up. "Wha-at the hell are you?" he stuttered with his question I just let out an evil laugh. "Your worse nightmare" I lifted him up in the air with one and threw him into the wall, hard. "How does it feel to not be able to fight back, huh Charlie?" I felt the power surge through my body I sent an energy ball into his stomach, he fell over in pain. I knew I should have stopped, I should have never showed him this, but I couldn't help it. I wanted to kill him, the monster inside my head wanted to see his lifeless body. I stuck out my hand and I burnt the hand that was reaching for the gun, like a gun can kill me. I tried that already. I melted the gun with one look, and then I looked back and him. I brought my leg up 

and kicked him in the head, I'm sure I heard bones crush. I didn't know if he was dead or not, I dragged him into the basement took all communication contact and locked him in there "now you know how it feels like to be trapped in your own hell" with that I ran. I had no idea where I would run to, but I just ran through the forest. I had remorse stupid conscience. I saw the big white house in front of me, I had no idea what I would say, but I needed to talk to someone and they are the only ones that I am close to trusting.

I ran up to the front door, before I even got my hand up to knock 7 pairs of eyes were staring at me, maybe I shouldn't be here. I was about to turn around when a hand grabbed my arm "Bella, what is wrong?" Edward asked, he was such a sweetheart. Who could not fall in love with him? Wait what did I just love? Weird.

"Why are you bleeding?" Esme I think that was her name asked me. I actually forgot that I was bleeding until she said something.

"Come in get out of the cold" he had such a nice family. He had a nice father.

"do you want to tell us what happened?" his father asked me, for some reason I felt like I can trust them.

"I guess, I don't know who else to go through" I looked up for the first time in the house, the house was beyond beautiful. It had a spiral staircase that led to the second floor, the floors were marble there was a big chandelier handing the entrance way, the living room you had to step down to get into. It had beautiful leather seats and a TV that was the biggest that I have ever seen I was certain of that. I looked to my right and there was the most beautiful piano I have ever seen. "wow" is all I could say.

"you have a beautiful home truly" Esme shocked me by pulling me into a hug I was surprised when I hugged her back. I breathed in her scent she smelled so good. It almost seemed like she was doing the same thing to me.

Carlisle took me hand "come sit tell us what happened please"

Well it all started when..
