Bella's POV

Recap

" I bet your all wondering what's going on.." I paused and Emmett nodded. I smiled then continued " and to be honest I don't know all of it myself. But I'll do my best to explain what I do know…. I guess I should begin when I was human.."

(A/N recap over)

I paused and looked around at all of them my gaze lingering briefly longer on Edwards beautiful face. " You know some of it already, I came here to Forks to live with my father after my mum got married to Phil… and there I met a vampire, I loved him and I thought he loved me…" I paused wondering whether or not to lie to them. I glanced again at all of them. No I answered myself I couldn't but I couldn't tell them the whole truth either. " I, we fell madly in love but he found it hard to resist my blood, it called to him" I saw Alice glance over at Edward, his face was still cold and unwelcoming, this hurt so much. Jasper feeling my emotions coughed to get my attention. "Bella, do we know..?" he asked his question trailing off. I looked at him thoughtfully

"No" I answered and saw Alice look at me confused "You will but not yet." I finished and they could hear the honesty in my statement. "As time went on he accepted me and for the most so did his family, but one day when we, they" I smiled "Were playing baseball another coven of vampires, three.. James, Victoria and Laurent came to play and they noticed straight away I wasn't human. James was a tracker and when E… he tried to protect me James decided he wanted to track me, I was more of a challenge with a whole coven of vampires trying to protect me." I paused waiting to see the effect my story had on them. Edward still looked uninterested, the others however were looked amazed, confused, sympathetic and understanding all at once and I realised how hard all these emotions must be for Jasper. I smiled apologetically at him before continuing.

Edward's POV

I cant believe what I'm hearing , wait how could her Dad still be alive, how old is she? I thought my head in turmoil. "Hold on.." I heard my voice say and was surprised to hear how could it sounded, what am I doing? she looked in my direction smiling slightly, her eyes asking me to continue. "How old are you?" I looked around and saw my family looking at me incredulously. "What?" I mouthed at them puzzled.

Emmett- that's what he ask her?

Jasper- he really should be nicer to her

Alice- why would he ask that?

I stopped listening as she answered. " Hmm… well I guess.. Eighteen… fifty… huh? Apparently I'm sixty-eight." she muttered looking confused. Carlisle smiled and said "Don't you know?" She looked up and then glanced at him.

"Oh I just never really thought about it not since I was changed."

"How come your fathers still alive?" I asked ignoring the reproachful stares I was receiving.

She smiled patiently at me and I felt a delighted by it.. She was so beautiful. I thought. I couldn't think that, could I? "I'm getting to that part."

"Where was I? Oh yes. They chased me back to Phoenix and he bit me." She said fingering her hand, absentmindedly i couldn't help but wonder why. FOrsome reason I wanted to know everything about her. "But he sucked the venom out of me.. And saved my life." Silence greeted her words, I didn't know about the others, but I wanted to know more, she fascinated me. "It was fine after that.. Till my eighteenth birthday, they insisted on celebrating despite my objections and I gave myself a paper cut.. One of his family attacked me, I was fine, but then he started to distance himself from me" Her voice had become flat now yet full of so much anguish I wanted to comfort her, be there for her. I shook myself, trying to clear my head. " He left." She stated, her breathing sharp and erratic. "Eventually he came back.." She continued and I had the feeling she was skimming over something big. "However while he was gone Victoria and Laurent attacked.."

Bella's POV

30 minutes later

" We lived happily " I finished. Waiting for their reactions, especially Edwards. I glanced over and was pleased to see his attitude towards me was slightly warmer. "But how did you get here? And why is Charlie still alive?" Asked Emmett a confused look on his face.

"Well.. I was out hunting with Alice and there was this blue light.. Everything seemed to freeze.." I stopped and shuddered at the memory and suddenly I felt a pair of familiar arms embrace me trying to comfort me, Esme's. I looked up to smile gratfully at her and saw inches away from me Edward watching me with concern. I smiled and she let go of me and Edward looked away seeming embarrassed. " It felt like I was being dragged down a long tunnel, and then I was in Phoenix about to leave to get here." They waited for me to continue and when it was obvious that I was finished Carlisle said "But how?"

I looked at him and said frustrated " I don't know, that's why I need your help.. I've already done enough damage as it is."

"Bella?" Asked Edward from the corner.

"Yes"

" Who was the vampire near you in the forest?"

Everyone except Emmett and Jasper turned to look at Edward shocked, they however had their eyes fixed on me. "What Vampire?" I asked.

NOPV

In a large room a stunning, blonde vampire walked rapidly towards a veiled curtain which through which sitting in a dark corner you could vaguely make out the shape of somebody. Kristina was incredibly anxious, the mistress would not take the news lightly and she was likely to be punished for it even though it was Dolan's mistake. Useless, mindless idiot. Kristina thought. Why couldn't he do anything right. "Why are you here?" a voice asked coming from the shadows. The voice was cracked and harsh, like sandpaper.

Kristina gulped nervously and knelt before the figure. "Mistress, Dolan thinks that we have been discovered."

"HOW!" screeched the voice making Kristina's eardrums hurt. Wincing she replied. " He thinks he was spotted."

"We will have to act quicker than. You know we only have one chance… I have waited too long sacrificed too much for this to fail. We must move faster. They will pay." Said the shape in the corner. " Leave me."

"Yes mistress" Said Kristina, bowing deeply then she scurried out of the room relived to be still alive.
