EPOV

I was sitting in my room, listening to an old record when Emmett came in.

"Hey, little brother." He said happily. I was still mad at so I didn't answer.

"What? I'm getting the silent treatment because I didn't tell you a secret?" No reply.

"Damn it, Edward. She told me not to tel you, okay! Her life wasn't all lolly-pops and rainbows you know."

"No, I don't know, Emmett!" I yelled at him. "Enlighten me. Please."

"Their dad hated them, her and Damon. Hell, Damon raised her." He said, then stopped. "Talk to her, Ed. It's not my business." He left me then.

I got up and grabbed my coat. I ran to Bella's house and stopped. Her window faced the yard.

She and Damon were playing cards and laughing. Every now and again, he'd take a drink from the bottle next to him. I stood there for a moment then stepped back. A twig snapped under my foot.

Faster than I thought possible, Damon was gone from the room and in front of me.

"You." He growled, glaring at me. "Don't you think you've done enough?"

"I don't-"

"Oh, please. You know what I mean. You can play dumb with Stefan all you want, but I'm not going to have it. Stay away."

"But-"

"Shut-up. I don't want you near her, okay? She's gone through enough. So, play your little games with some other girl."

"I thought she was human." I whispered "If I had known she was a vampire I would have stayed."

"So, you wouldn't bother with her if she was human?" He asked. "Take a bite and leave? Maybe kill her so she wouldn't tell anyonme about you?"

"I would never hurt her-"

"But you did!" He yelled me. "You did, Cullen, and I'll make damn sure you'll pay fro that. For every tear she cried, for every scream she screamed, for everythimg you put her through."

He scarred me, now. He looked like Bella did earlier, veins under his eyes standing out, but he was showing his fangs. He came at me.

"Damon! Stop!"
