AN: I decided to give you a little perspective of the Cullen's. I hope you enjoy it!

Alice POV

I couldn't believe what they had done. How could they! They had hunted down citizens of Forks! The question more important than the why was the how. How had we missed them? We could have prevented this!

"I can't believe this happened!" Esme exclaimed, her face full of regret and anguish. "We were just about to move, and now I'm not sure if we can. If we leave everyone in town will be in danger!"

Carlisle looked around himself at the disaster. His family was on one side of the yellow tape, and he was on the other. He met my eyes, and a look of sadness passed behind them. I knew that he put a large part of this mess on his shoulders. He thought that if he had been more prepared he could have stopped Bella from choosing the path she did. What he didn't understand was that Bella wasn't the same shy, clumsy, fragile, human girl anymore. He knew that she wasn't, but he didn't take it into account that she was now a bloodthirsty vampire with very vague memories and almost no information about her past. If he did then he wouldn't feel so guilty, but I knew that if Carlisle didn't believe it when the evidence was right in front of him, then he wouldn't believe it just because I told him it was the truth.

I then looked at Edward. He wore a blank face, giving away nothing. He might have been insistent on not showing us anything, but his ignorance spoke loud enough. He was in pain over it; I could tell. I would have bet anything that everyone else knew that as well. He didn't have to pretend around us. We all could remember when Bella woke up. With our vampire memories, we could recall every detail. Looking back on it, I could understand why Edward was so upset and why he had the right to be.

*Flashback*

Bella opened her blood red eyes and stared at the ceiling. A look of confusion passed over her face, and she turned her eyes to us, looking at each one of us with that same confusion. She met my eyes, and I kept ahold of hers, understanding that first waking up is always perplexing for everyone. She didn't make any movement, and neither did we. Edward then took a bold step toward her. Her eyes flashed toward his feet and then to his face. He took another step and Bella suddenly flew off the handle. She hissed, jumped off the table she had been lying on, and backed up against the wall, crouching there and looking dangerous.

Edward's frown was evident. It turned the corners of his mouth down as he continued to watch Bella. He kept walking towards her until he stood directly in front of her. He reached his hand out, and nothing happened at first. Bella then smiled, Edward reciprocating the action. Without warning, Bella yanked his arm and slammed him into the wall. He flew through it and hit the ground with a thud. I knew he could have landed on his feet if he had been at all prepared for Bella's violent reaction. She then brought her foot up and smashed another hole into the wall. She jumped through it and ran off, trying to dodge her vampire husband that she had just thrown onto the ground. Edward, of course being stupid, caught up to her and grabbed her shoulder.

With a hiss of defiance, Bella lunged for Edward, biting into his throat. She wasn't an experienced fighter, but she was a strong newborn. She also had the advantage of fear on her side. Edward threw her off of him, and she bolted, running in the direction of Seattle. This time Edward did not follow. He stared after the love of his life, barely understanding what had just happened.

Carlisle stepped forward. "Do you want to follow her Edward?"

Edward shook his head no. "I don't think that would be such a good idea, Carlisle. Let's give her some space for now."

*Flashback*

It has been three years since then, but Edward still did not want to go after Bella. Now we knew it was too late. She needed to be contained and talked to, and we had missed our chance. Not only was she attacking the citizens, but she had taught her daughter to act the same way she did, making Nessie a part of the attack too. I just hoped that Edward would come to his senses so that we could reason with Bella because this conflict was slowly driving our family apart.

Renesmee POV

Mother and I sat in a tree far enough not to be heard but close enough that we could see. It was truly foolish that the Cullens didn't notice our scent. "Shall we make another appearance, Mother?"

Mother thought about this, her eyes showing that she didn't think it was such a good idea. "Who do you propose we make our next meal?" She seemed hesitant to even ask the question, and it definitely seemed that she didn't want to follow through with it.

"Are there any other families from high school you remember to be particularly annoying?"

Mother finally answered, "Eric. He was almost as horrible as Mike to have to be around, but we can get him another time."

I nodded in agreement. "Alright. We can go when they're out hunting some time."

"Good idea." Siding with me, Mother turned her eyes back to the crime scene, only to notice that Edward was missing. Her eyes scrunched up in puzzlement until she felt the dead weight hit her back.

Mother let out an irritated hiss and rolled out of the tree and onto her side. She now had her hands free and used them to push her opponent off of her. I took my move, jumping down from the tree to land on his head. I hit my target and covered his eyes so that he was blind to our next attack. It was a childish move, but it worked. Mother and I always played it dirty, and taking away a sense was the perfect way to do it. Mother growled and grabbed his arm, yanking it off. I bet the vampires near the crime scene rushed towards us because they were alerted to Edward's predicament because of his scream of frustration and agony. Mother and I abandoned Edward, running away to a safe haven for the time being. We wanted to finish what we started, and we weren't going to give up easily. In fact, we weren't going to give up at all.
