Chapter 4 Secrets

BPOV

Kate and Garrett looked at me with blank shocked expressions on their beautiful faces. I proceeded to tell them everything. How I met Edward, found out his secret, our love story, the ballet studio, my birthday party and his departure. I told them about Elizabeth and the time I spent at the Cullen's house in forks. I spoke about the day Victoria bit me and how Elizabeth saved me. The day Elizabeth changed into a vampire for good. I did not tell them about our abilities. I told them I was the human girl, Edward loved and killed Laurent's friend for.

"I always wondered why you girls looked so much alike, and now I see how much she looks like Edward too." Kate said.

"Sorry we lied to everyone but I had to protect Elizabeth not only from the Volturi, but the Cullen's as well." I said with remorse.

"Why would you keep her from the Cullen's didn't Edward have a right to know?" Kate said with a bit of venom in her voice.

"I thought about that for a long time and the reason I didn't tell him is, because he told me he didn't want me, and I wanted to respect his wishes. He told me he did not want to exist in my life when he left. It was hard for me, but I did what I thought was best for everyone. At first, I told Elizabeth that I would not seek them out, but as the years past, I told her if she wanted to find them I would not stop her. I wanted her to have the choice." I looked at Elizabeth with love and adoration.

"I choose to stay with my mother. I have often wondered about my father, but I didn't want to leave her and I know she will not go with me." Elizabeth said. I patted her hand and smiled at her.

"Please call me Bella now everyone else does besides your coven." I said with hope.

"Why now, why are you telling us now, Bella?" Garrett asked me.

"Because, we will probably go and help them. I may not want them apart of my life anymore." I lied, "but I don't want to see any harm come to them." I said blatantly.

"So, Garrett what are the details of this Volturi visit? What do the Cullen's need exactly?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"The Volturi will be arriving in two weeks, we will gather at the Cullen's compound in a little town just outside of Portland Oregon. They will give us more details when we arrive. We were passing through here from Alaska, we stopped to see if you would like to join us, it sounds like they could use all the help they can get." Garrett said.

"Mom, can I speak to you in private?" Elizabeth said.

"Sure, excuse us. Please make yourselves at home." We took off out our back baloney and went far enough to be out of hearing range.

"Are you sure about this?" She asked with concern.

"Yeah, I mean I guess, I sat in that meadow today and reflected over my life both human and vampire and I realized that I'm ready to move on. It is not fair of me to keep you from them, like Kate and Garrett said they are a very close family. I'm tired of being angry." I paused in reflection. "Do you see anything, Liz?" Liz is my nickname for her.

"Yeah, I see about 20 of them in hooded cloaks, the three brothers, the two child like creatures and several guard. I see a face off with them, the Cullen's with their many different covens in tow. The Cullen's will be thirty strong." She stopped to retrieve information.

"Do the Cullen's, for lack of better term, win?" She looked up at me out of her thoughts.

"I don't know."

"Do you think we should go now or just in time for the confrontation." I asked her. "Do you think we should expose our talents?" I added.

"I think we should go now so everything is cleared up between you and my father before their confrontation. The less tension the better, there is a small cottage just 10 miles from their compound that will be perfect for us to stay in, when we are not working with them or hunting. We will need to call on it immediately. We will leave tonight at twilight." She paused. "We will have to let everyone know of our talents, because Jasper will need to formulate a plan in case of a battle, like I said the only thing I can see is the confrontation with Carlisle talking to one of the brothers."

I started to laugh, she looked at me funny, "I can't believe I am going to help your father's mate, I guess vampires can change." I shook my head.

We chuckled for a little bit, "We should go and purchase our cottage, near the Cullen's." She said.

We ran back to our cottage. Kate and Garrett left us a note, they went hunting and would be back soon. Elizabeth called and purchased our cottage by the Cullen's, we decided to drive because we would have to take luggage and pick up necessities for the cottage. It came furnished, but we needed things like towels and such. After packing, Elizabeth and I took off for a short hunt. When we returned Kate and Garrett were waiting for us.

Kate is taller than me by a few inches. She has luscious dark hair. Garrett is a very handsome vampire, his hair longer like Jaspers, but straighter. He is very muscular. Today he is wearing button fly, denim jeans. They're kind of my weakness. Edward used to wear similar Jeans.

"So, are you girls going to go with us to the Cullen's?" Garrett asked.

"Yes, we bought a cottage near their place, you are welcome to stay with us if you like. We are going to drive down and we are leaving shortly. If you would like to ride with us we have room. If not we will meet you there." Elizabeth said to them.

"We would like that very much, are you sure we would not be imposing?" Kate shyly said.

"Of course not we are offering please join us" I tried to appease her.

"Ok, are you ready?" Garrett asked walking towards the door, Kate in tow.

I looked at Elizabeth, her eyes are golden like mine but there is still a hint of violet in them.

"Are you ready for this?"

"Let's go" she smiled.
