Embry POV:

I felt so ashamed to have failed at my first chance to prove myself worthy of my mate.

I let a vampire steal her sister away, I failed as a shifter, an imprint, a man. I would never be good enough for her now.

She hadn't said anything in over 14 minutes.

We sat around Sam and Emily's living room somberly soaking up what had just happened, excluding Paul he was on Blondie duty he didn't exactly have the sensitivity required to be around Bellamy right now and neither Sam nor I wanted to risk him saying something that would just make everything 100% worse.

My thoughts were interrupted when Bellamy leaned forward about to speak.

Bellamy: "was what Rosalie alluded to correct? Was she... my sister, I mean, was she... When the red head took her...did you see, was Bella one of them?"

A vampire? She was, I wasn't a expert but I knew what I saw, Bella Swan was no longer human. I looked at Sam, I was her mate, I should be the one to tell her no matter how difficult.

Embry: "she was... is a vampire. I am so sorry."

Bellamy: "you needn't be, I believe you I don't know how she did it but if she was a vampire then she was dead before Victoria took her, there would have been nothing for you to bring back to me. Excuse me, I have to go home and inform my father."

She spoke like she had no more emotions left in her, this was my first girlfriend, if that's even what she was, we hadn't even had a proper conversation about it yet. But I was completely ill prepared and equipped to know how to handle grief or denial or whatever Bellamy was dealing with or trying to deny she was dealing with. I wanted to be someone for her to lean on but I didn't know what I could possibly do for her that would lessen the reality of what had just happened.

Bellamy POV:

How did this happen? How? I don't understand.

I've just told my Dad what has happened to the best of my understanding anyway and it was the most excruciating thing I've ever had to do.

After we held each other and cried, Dad started to get angry and demand answers and the only person I knew who had them was Rosalie.

He was shocked and wanted to confront her straight away but we still had to make the very painful call to Renée.

Renee would get hysterical every time Bella even scraped her knee, I wasn't entirely certain she wouldn't burn down the whole state of Washington and her grief and hysteria... not that she wouldn't be justified, I was a little tempted.

Renee got to the house the next afternoon flying out straight away. Dad and I didn't sleep we spent the night in Bella's room just staring at the floor trying to come to terms with what happened.

When Renee got here she came taring through the house looking for someone to blame. We tried to cover down and tell her it was nobody's fault except the Cullen's but she wasn't having it.

She turned to me suddenly, fire in her eyes.

Renee: "you! you did this this is your fault!"

Bellamy: "what?"

Charlie: "Renée don't."

Renee: "no, how did she know? Did you ask yourself that Charlie? How did she know anything about witches or vampires?"

Charlie: "we explained the Cullens..."

Renee: "NO! I DONT BELIEVE YOU!"

She stormed up to me and began thrashing me about.

Renee: "ANSWER ME! I KNOW IT WAS YOU, YOU TOLD HER DIDNT YOU! THIS IS YOUR FAULT, I NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET HER COME UP HERE! ADMIT IT WAS YOU! YOU KILLED MY BABY, YOU TOLD HER, ADMIT IT!"

Bellamy: "I was trying to save her!"

The room fell silent and my Dad looked to me in shock.

Bellamy: "I just wanted her to know that she was special on her own she didn't need the Cullens I didn't want her becoming one of them I was trying to protect her, protect us from losing her to them."

I desperately try to explain.

Oh god was this my fault?

Renee: "you selfish little brat! You were always jealous she got to have a normal childhood and you didn't, you just wanted to spoil it and now I've lost her forever and I will never forgive you for it. As far as I am concerned both my daughters are dead." Renee told me firmly and I could feel little cracks forming along my heart and then Charlie spoke.

Charlie: "I think it's best if you stay tomorrow so few nights." He said without looking at me. And I knew he blamed me to, and that's when my heart broke completely.

I gathered a few essentials and started to walk down to La Push, it would take me a couple hours and it was getting dark and I didn't care.

I finally made it to Embry's house and I knew know what I needed to do I just hope he would be on board with helping me and I wouldn't be completely alone now. But either way I would arrest until it was done.

Embry: "you're here please come in don't know what to say or how to be there for you I am so sorry you got stuck with a dud of an imprint but I promise you I will never stop trying to be better to be deserving of you and I will always show up for you, always."

I wasn't expecting something so tender and sincere... I broke down weeping in his arms.

After some time I looked up at him and told him what came next, "I am going to avenge my sister, I will make sure all the Cullen's pay for this."

Embry: "what do you mean, what are you gonna do?"

Bellamy: "i'm going to kill them all."
