Chapter 7

BPOV

Did you know that moving 74 newborn vampires, all under six months of age, is a pain in the neck? No? Well, now you do. Not even the use of my 'calm' power helped ease the journey.

It took a full week just to get here to Fairbanks, because we were constantly stopping to feed off the locals. I made sure to make a significant dent in smaller town populations, so that the Cullens knew that we were coming. I wanted them to be nervous.

My other plan has been working out perfectly. There is some serious tension within their ranks. They are all suspicious of Alice, Carlisle and Edward. Well, all but Jasper –who has once again brushed my warnings off like they're nothin'. I'm now convinced that he has had his head removed, one too many times, since becoming a vampire. The feared Major of the South; is now a pussy-whipped veggie vamp idiot. I actually feel bad for Victoria.

At least their squabbles have kept the girls entertained. I thought to myself off hand.

Today is the 'big' day. The day I reunite with my so called 'family'. It's the day that Victoria and I can know that revenge is mere hours away. My revenge for my ruined human life and Vickie's revenge for the death of James - even though he wasn't her true mate, she still cared about him, they had a very strong bond between them.

We all fed before running into the forest, surrounding the Cullen mansion. I knew that they hadn't noticed us yet, which was perfect; it gave me time to put my illusion in place and wait for the triplets to join us.

Once the triplets arrived, they informed me that Ayasha was in position to short circuit all gifts on the enemy's side. Now, I only had two more ends to tie up. I grabbed Charlie and Abigail and pulled them aside to speak to them.

"Dad, Abbie. You are going to meet your mates today. They are a part of the Cullen Coven, but before you freak out, they are not in any danger from me, or any of the others. I can't tell you who they are; just that you will know them, when you see them." I spoke calmly and waited for their reactions.

There was a slight pause, while they both absorbed the information before the inevitable happened - making me eternally grateful for my physical and mental shields, surrounding us like a big, bubble-shaped, sound proof room.

"What! What do you mean 'our mates are Cullens'?" They both yelled simultaneously, it actually sounded kind of cool the way they were yelling, well it would have if the weren't yelling at me.

"I never said they were Cullens. I said, they were a part of the Cullen Coven. They are the only ones in that house hold that aren't hiding something twisted and appalling" I said trying to reassure them.

It seemed to work, because before long they were both calmed down enough to join the group.

I added some final touches to my human illusion; sound of blood in my veins, heartbeat, human temperature, softer flesh, able to cry real tears. Then I checked with Vickie to make sure I looked good and tortured.

Weeping cuts, multiple bruises, vampire bite marks, thin white sparkly venom scars, dishevelled hair, ripped and bloody clothes, black swollen eyes, busted lips, a few broken bones, some previously broken bones. I lowered my weight down to just skin and bones, making my skin paler, pasty, dry and sickly looking … you know the works - for a torture victim I looked good. I even had blood all over me that I made to smell like my human scent.

After double checking that I looked as human and tortured as I could and confirming the plan with Vickie, I started limping as fast as I could toward the Cullen mansion, I made sure I tripped a couple times, dirtying myself up. I didn't need to rip my clothes, I had picked out a special set of filthy, ratty, ripped, rags for me to wear especially.

As soon as I was in vampire earshot I started crying and calling for help. Even if I it disgusted me to call out to 'Fucktard', 'Doc' and 'Pixie' I knew I had to, human me would have.

"Edward! Carlisle! Alice! Somebody! Please help me! Help!"

I cried out, making tears run down my down my face, mixing with the blood and mud that covered me.

PPOV

Today was a bad day, a very bad day. I don't know why. I just know that something is coming for the fucked up Cullen family today.

We were all sitting in the living room, relaxing as much as we could with all the tension in the air; when a pain-filled cry for help rang through the room. We were all up and running outside, toward the smell of blood and sound shallow breathing.

As soon as we came upon the scene, all of the Cullens stopped and stared in - what looked like - shock. There was a small human girl, limping toward us. She had long, chocolate brown hair, that had red highlights running through it and she had the most beautiful brown eyes I had ever seen.

When I looked at the rest of her I was appalled; she had cuts, gashes, bruises and marks all over her far too thin body, some were as old as a year old and some were as new as three hours old. Then something caught my eye; through the rips in her shirt, I saw bite marks, and not just any bite marks, vampire bite marks.

How in heck is the chick still human?

It was about this time, that the 'Doc' snapped out of his shock and spoke, just above a vampire whisper, "Bella?"

Oh. My. God.

This was Bella? The same Bella who played pet to Fuckward? I do not believe it! What the hell happened to her?

I came out of my thoughts, just in time to see Carlisle flash by me into the house with Bella cradled protectively in his arms, the rest of the family following closely behind.

Before I followed them inside, I looked toward the direction she had come from, looking for… well looking for something. I didn't know what was there, just that something was. This entire situation felt wrong, it didn't fell right. My gift seemed to be itching to tell me something, but just not telling me it.

Once I got inside the house, there was quite the scene. Esme was sobbing on the couch that was across from the one Bella was on, Carlisle was trying to check her wounds, Edward was looking at her with lust. Freak. I thought to myself. Emmett was holding Rosalie trying to keep them both calm, Alice was flitting around Carlisle and Bella, telling Bella that her outfit was horrible - yeah like that's important right now - and Jasper was trying to get Bella to tell him what happened.

If vampires could get a headache, I was sure that, once again I would have one right about now. I figured that it was about time to bring order to this giant cluster-fuck.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP. RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!" The whole room went silent instantly. I took a deep breath trying to clear my head and get rid of the almost headache. "Now. I say you all shut your god damn mouths and allow The Major here to find out what on earth happened to Miss Bella. Once he's done that you can all freak out however much you bloody well want to. Deal?" I said this a little calmer, but not much. Carlisle needed to pull his thumb out of his ass and start being the head of this damn coven. Or, preferably, The Major needed to subdue pussy-whipped Jasper Hale and get the hell out and control this shit-tip of a situation, before it went tits up more than it already was.

When they all stayed silent, The Major started questioning kitten. What the hell? Why did I just call her kitten? My gift was being annoyingly silent still. Thanks so much for the help.

"What happened to you Darlin'?" He asked her gently.

One question at a time, good, seemed like Jasper had his big boy pants on and knew what he was doing. Unlike the rest of these pussy ass vampires.

Bella whimpered and curled up into the fetal position, rocking herself as tears poured down her cheeks, her tiny frame shaking.

"It all started when you guys left me. After Edward left me lying on the forest floor, heartbroken, telling me… telling me I wasn't good enough".

Bella broke off sobbing, Carlisle, Emmett, Rose, Jasper, Char, Esme and I all growled at Edward, strangely enough Alice didn't seem bothered by this.

"Shhh, its ok Darlin' please continue".

Jasper said soothingly. Bella nodded and took in some deep breaths, trying to calm herself.

"I-I was catatonic, for four months. I nearly killed Charlie with my brokenness. My friend Jake brought me out of it. After that, I started getting better, I spent two months hanging out with Jake on the rez and started opening my heart again. I couldn't ever love again, I was too broken, but I tried to live."

Bella said and it was clear it was getting harder for her, the memories more painful.

"Then he stopped talking to me. When I confronted him, he told me… he-he told that- that I was worthless, and that I couldn't be saved. All because I had fraternized with Vampires, with you, with the Cullens".

Char gasped and I looked to my sister, pulling her into my arms to offer her comfort, we both knew what it was like to be ostracized because of the company we kept, most people kept well away from us, because of our scars. We looked dangerous and it was clear we'd been in many fights.

"I-I decided that, that I was going to kill myself; If didn't matter to anyone, no one would miss me. The only thing I wanted to do was to say goodbye to you all. To get the say the goodbye you all denied me."

Esme gasped and Emmett pulled Rose along with him to comfort his 'mother'.

"I got up early and drove to the trailhead. After four hours of hiking, I found the meadow and broke down, in the middle of it. That's when I heard bushes rustling. When I looked up, Victoria was standing there, staring at me with the darkest grin I had ever seen. Before I could scream, she had me in her arms and was running away from Forks."

At this point she dissolved back into wracking sobs, everyone in the room was sobbing with her, Rose, Esme, Char even Emmett and Carlisle. I was barely holding my shit together myself, The Major looked pained at this knowledge, but what surprised me again was Alice, she didn't seem to care one iota that her 'best friend' went though all that. Edward just looked nervous, well it was clear she wasn't his mate anyway and he had no interest in her.

When her sobs calmed down, she looked around the room at all the vamps surrounding her.

"Victoria did this to you?"

Jasper asked and Bella nodded, grimacing in pain.

"She wanted revenge for the loss of James, my life for his. Only she didn't want to kill me quickly".

Bella said pulling her right wrist into her chest, I could literally hear the grinding of bones; it made me want to be sick. How could a human survive this? It was then I noticed her fingers. Holy fuck. She had no fingernails, just bloody holes where they should have been.

"How did you get here?"

Jasper asked, he sounded horrified.

"She kept moving around, constantly keeping me by her side, torturing me whenever she could, but one day she was distracted. I knew I had to escape or die. That was my only option".

Bella said shaking.

"I didn't realize we were in Fairbanks, Victoria had told me you were close by, that she was going to… she was going… she was going to make you watch as she finally ended my pathetic life. So I ran to the woods, ignoring all the pain, I had to find you. I just hoped you would help me. I couldn't… I need to see my Dad… let him know I'm ok".

Bella said as she continued to sob.

No-one knew what to say. How could we tell her, her Dad was dead, after all she's been through?

Carlisle looked pained.

"Bella, may I examine your wounds, some look pretty bad".

Carlisle said and even I had to agree, as twisted as the sick fucker was, Bella needed urgent medical attention, and taking he to a hospital was out of the question, how would we explain the bite marks?

Bella nodded and uncurled, flinching and wincing as I heard more bones grinding she had to be in serious pain.

Carlisle bent over her and started examining her, shaking his head at her multiple injuries and wounds.

Bella suddenly froze and bolted upright, looking around frantically, like she expected something to attack her. Then she jumped up off the couch and tried running out the door.

That's when something happened that confused, surprised, and terrified us all.
