Previously on Moonlight:

She took a deep breath looked at all of us and then her gaze settle on Anne and Vivian, "Guys, as crazy as this is going to sound…the Cullen's are…vampires…"

Bella's POV

I stared at Vivian and Anne waiting for their response. They stared at me wide eyed like I was crazy; which was expected. That's what I had thought when Edward had told me he was a vampire.

All of a sudden they both started laughing really hard. I should have expected this since I had reacted the same way. I looked over at the Cullen's and they looked back at me with amusement in their eyes.

"Bella…that is the...most… funniest thing you have said…"Anne managed to say.

"That just…made…my day Bella…thank you!" Vivian managed to say as well.

I looked at them with no amusement and then looked at Edward. He squeezed my hand and smiled down at me telling me to have patience.

Once the girls calmed down and looked over at our serious expression their expressions became serious as well.

"You…you aren't joking are you?" Anne asked quietly looking at the Cullen's.

I shook my head, "No…"

"Holy shit..." Vivian whispered.

"I know right?" Emmett asked smiling.

Vivian smiled shyly at Emmett and nodded.

"We aren't going to harm you girls," Carlisle started, "…I hope you believe us. I know it's a lot to take in and I know you can't believe you think we might jump up and suck you're blood, but we're not. We drink animal blood we have resigned to the drinking of human blood. Though that doesn't mean that your blood doesn't appeal to us because it does, but we manage to control ourselves." He finished off and looked at them to gauge their reactions.

Their expressions were a mix of shock, scared, and fascinated. What I wouldn't give to be Edward right now or have his gift of reading minds so I would know what they were thinking. I looked over at Edward and he looked amused but at the same time guarding his expression.

"Well…" Vivian started, "that's good…I guess…"

Which made us all laugh because of the way she said it.

"I still can't believe you guys are vampire but I guess it explains how you're all sexy beyond words." Vivian said winking at them.

I shook my head and giggle of course she would bring that up. Everyone else was chuckling too.

"Bella how long have you known about this?" Anne asked at me looking curiously at me.

Edward squeezed my hand and I looked at him and smiled.

"Well remember the day that Edward took me hiking?" I asked and they nodded remembering, "Well that day he told me and showed me and I had the same reaction you guys had."

"Really? Wow! So you've known for a while. How come you guys hadn't told us earlier?" Anne wondered.

"Well we couldn't tell you…it's against our law to tell humans about us or else we could get killed." Carlisle said calmly.

Both Anne and Vivian gasped, "Then why are you telling us this? Now, you are gonna get killed!" Vivian freaked out.

"Don't worry! If we didn't think we could trust you girls with our secret we would have told you." Carlisle continued to say calmly.

"Well that means a lot that you would trust us with such a secret. Don't worry your secret is safe with us." Anne said smiling at the Cullen's.

"I second that!" Vivian said in agreement.

"Well that's great that you guys are finally in on the secret! I felt bad that you two didn't know." Esme said smiling sweetly.

"Thanks Esme, but why tell us now?" Esme asked.

That's when all the Cullen's looked at me; how were we going to tell them about Victoria? I was scared of their reactions.

"Do you want me to tell them?" Edward whispered to me.

I thought about this; did I want Edward to tell them or should I do it? I had to be strong and do it. I had to I owed them that.

"I'll do it…" I said taking a deep breath. I felt Esme come sit next to and squeezed my shoulders. I looked up at both Vivian and Anne.

"First off, we just found out about this…so don't think we kept this from you…"

"What are you talking about Bella?" Anne asked confused.

Could I tell her? Edward squeezed my hand tighter. "You can do this." He whispered in my ear.

"Hear me out first before you say anything okay?" I asked and they both nodded.

Deep breaths Bella, I told myself.

I told them how Edward had gone out to investigate and followed Victoria scent. "When he came across Victoria's scent he found something interesting you can say."

"What was it?" Anne said breathlessly.

I looked up at Edward because I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to tell them. He understood and nodded, then gave his attention to them.

"I smelt the scent of someone else with her and the scent was the scent of…a vampire." He said the last part quietly.

They both gasped and looked at us wide eyed.

"S-s-so a v-vampire killed her?" Anne said crying now. Vivian scooted over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Well not exactly..." Edward told her.

Both their heads snapped up immediately with hope in their eyes.

"S-s-she's alive?" Anne cried hopefully.

Edward's head nodded.

"Oh my gosh! That is amazing news! Where is she?" Vivian gushed while Anne cried happy tears in her shoulder.

It broke my heart that they were bringing their hopes up.

"Guys listen first please." I begged them while tears started to well up in my eyes.

Esme rubbed my back soothingly.

"What is it? Just tell us already please!" Anne begged.

"Well Victoria is alive, but she's not human anymore…she was turned into a vampire." Carlisle said calmly.

This definitely took the girls by surprise they sat there eyes wide open and mouth hanging open. I felt bad that they were getting all this information thrown at them. They were probably overwhelmed by so much.

"What? How?" Vivian asked. Anne just sat there frozen.

"Well the vampire who attacked her and bite her. We know this because when we were out hunting after you guys left, we came across her…"Carlisle stopped when he saw the shocked expressions on Anne and Vivian's face.

"Y-y-you s-saw her?" Anne stuttered.

"Yes and she freaking attacked me! She was strong, I'll give her that!" Emmett said shaking his head.

The girls stared wide eyed at Emmett; they could not believe that Victoria would do such thing.

"Emmett!" Rosalie chided, slapping Emmett on the arm.

"Hey! It's true!" He defended.

Rosalie just rolled her eyes at him.

"How the hell did she attack Emmett? He's huge!" Vivian said putting her arms out motioning how huge Emmett was which made us all chuckle.

"Well, Victoria is a newborn. She is at her strongest right now because her human blood still lingers in her tissues." Carlisle explained to them.

"So if you were to see her right now her eyes would be red and also she's feeding off humans so it makes her eyes even redder." Alice explained.

The girls gasped again. "She's drinking h-human blood?" Anne screeched.

"I'm sorry you girls have to hear all this. I know it's all overwhelming, but you girls have to know the truth."

"Why doesn't she just drink animal blood like you guys?" Vivian asked.

Edward took a deep breath and said, "Well whoever created her feeds off humans, so he's teaching her what he knows. Plus when you are a newborn, you only crave human blood. When you are a newborn you are uncontrollable. You have only one thing on your mind and that's blood; you really don't care who it was. You only care about quenching that thirst."

"That's why we had to tell you girls, because Edward heard what she was thinking and she wanted to come and see you girls, but first of all that's dangerous because she could attack you girls at any moment. Second of all when she was thinking about you girls, she thought about…how you would smell and taste…" Carlisle said softly looking at the girls with sympathy as their eyes widen.

But then he continued, "I'm so sorry about all this, I really am and wish I had something in my power to help, but sadly I can't. We can't talk to her because newborns can't focus much on anything. We can't control her we would have to wait a few more months for her to become a little more controlled to be able to talk to her."

The three of us were crying now. I didn't know it would be months until I saw her! It was hard to know she was alive and I wasn't able to see her.

"Bella it's going to be okay sweetheart, it will all work out at the end." Esme said soothingly.

Edward wiped away my tears with his thumb and whispered soothing words to me.

"So we beg you girls that if you see her do not approach her and call us right away. Hide if you have to, do not let her see you okay?" Carlisle said.

"We will be guarding you girls from now on because Victoria could come at any moment and that would be very dangerous." Edward said.

"Okay, that's fine. I guess at the end the wait will be worth it, if it means we get my sister back. Well almost since she won't be the same…" Anne said looking at her lap.

Alice got up from her seat and danced her way over to Anne's side and wrapped her up in a hug.

"It will be okay, I promise." Alice told her.

"Let's cheer up guys! I hate seeing you girls cry! How about you girls give us a strip show?" He said looking at us and wagging his eyebrows at us.

"What the hell Emmett!" Rosalie said hitting him on the head.

"What? I'm trying to lighten up the mood!"

We all giggled at his expression.

"Ha! You see! Now everyone is laughing! Mission accomplished!" He said proudly.

We all laughed even harder. Emmett was such a child!

We chatted after that; happy things. I looked at my sisters and I felt happy that they finally knew the truth. I was sad though that Victoria wasn't part of this…

Victoria's POV

"I need to go see them James!" I whined.

"Why? You can't even be with them anymore. They won't accept you once they know what you are. Plus, what are they but worthless humans!" He growled.

I growled at him. "What the heck is your problem? You will not talk about my family like that! You don't even know them!"

"They are human Victoria! They are only food to use!" I growled and attacked him.

"What the hell Victoria! Get off me!" he growled trying to push me off, but I wasn't going to move.

How dare he say those things about my sisters?

I know I hadn't thought about them, until a while ago when I saw the Cullen's…Who would have ever thought they were vampires? I mean I guess that explains their beauty, but how was it possible for them to be around humans without wanting to attack them and suck their blood? Since I got distracted thinking about that James took advantage and pulled me off him and pinned me to the ground.

"Get off me you idiot!" I yelled in his face.

"No! Now you listen to me Victoria. Stay away from them! It isn't good for you to be attached to worthless little humans. Unless you plan of going over there and having them as your food, you stay away from them understand?" He said looking me in the eyes very menacingly.

I knew I wasn't going to win this right now so I just nodded, but this wouldn't be the last time we would talk about this.

"James, leave Victoria alone!" Laurent said with a hint of his French accent.

I looked up to see Laurent staring at us. Laurent was tall, had black hair and was buff. James was tall too, but not as tall as Laurent, had blond hair that was in a ponytail and was kind of buff.

Laurent was very sweet while James was well as you see was a douche. James let go of me and I got up and ran towards my house. I wanted to see the girls and I would. I felt someone running behind me and assumed it was James.

"James leave me be!" I yelled.

"It's not James." Said the voice I looked back and saw Laurent following me.

"Oh hey..."I said not stopping.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"I'm going to go see my family." I said.

I heard him hesitate, "What? Are you going to tell me that they are worthless humans and I shouldn't get close to them?" I screeched.

"No! I just think it's a bad idea. It's very dangerous for you to be near humans, you can't control your thirst when you're a newborn and plus I don't want you to do something you will regret later." He said sweetly.

"I appreciate that but I want to see them and tell them that I'm okay and that they shouldn't worry about me."

"That isn't very smart. You know we have laws that we aren't allowed to tell humans about us or else we can get killed by the Volturi." Laurent informed me.

"Well I don't care! They're my family! I don't want them to suffer because of me!" I said and my eyes started to prick in a strange way. I'm pretty sure if I was human, I would be crying right now.

"I understand, but do you want your family to get killed?" he asked.

When he said that I stopped and looked at him, he was right I didn't want that.

"No, but I just want to see them." I said looking at the floor.

All of a sudden I felt arms around me. I was shocked that Laurent was hugging, but I hugged him back because I needed to be comforted.

"Thanks." I said.

"No problem. How about I come with you so I can help you in case you go out of control?" He asked smiling at me sweetly.

"That would be nice. I would like that." I said smiling back at him.

With that we ran towards my house.

When we got there I could smell the Cullen's. I stopped in tracks.

"What's wrong?" Laurent asked concerned.

"The Cullen's are there!" I whispered.

Laurent just looked at me confused.

"They are vampires too, but different. Their eyes are golden brown, they are always around humans. Bella, is actually dating Edward…" I said and then my eyes popped wide open, "Oh my gosh! Bella is dating a vampire! Does she even know! Oh my gosh! She's going to freak out if she doesn't! How can they even have a relationship?" I kept ranting.

"Wait you're telling me, that a human is dating a vampire?" he asked in disbelief.

I just nodded not being able to answer.

How was it possible? How can he be so close to her and not want to suck her blood out? How is Carlisle a doctor? How can he stand being around blood all day long?

All these questions kept popping in my head and I didn't have any answers to them.

"Wait you said their eyes are golden brown?" Laurent asked curiously.

I nodded.

"How strange…I've never heard of such a thing. I would like to meet them…" He mused.

I started walking closer, but I was careful in case they smelled my scent or heard my approach.

I heard them talking.

"Y-y-you s-saw her?" I heard a very familiar voice stuttered. Anne.

My chest clenched at the sound of her voice. How I missed her.

"Victoria, are you okay? You look pained." Laurent asked concerned.

"I just heard my sister." I explained and he just nodded understandingly.

I motioned for him to be quiet so we could listen.

"Yes and she freaking attacked me! She was strong, I'll give her that!"

I heard a familiar deep voice say. Who were they talking about?

"Emmett!" I heard a girl yell then I heard a thud.

"Hey! It's true!" the deep voice defended.

"How the hell did she attack Emmett? He's huge!" I heard Vivian say surprised.

"Well, Victoria is a newborn. She is at her strongest right now because her human blood still lingers in her tissues."

That's when I froze. They were talking about me? They know I'm a vampire?

I looked over at Laurent in shock. His eyes were as wide as mine were I bet.

"So if you were to see her right now her eyes would be red and also she's feeding off humans so it makes her eyes even redder."

I heard the girls gasp "She's drinking h-human blood?" my sister screeched.

I felt terrible when she said that. I was a murderer.

"I'm sorry you girls have to hear all this. I know it's all overwhelming, but you girls have to know the truth."

"Why doesn't she just drink animal blood like you guys?" Vivian asked.

Both Laurent and I froze. They drank animal blood? Why?

"Well whoever created her feeds off humans, so he's teaching her what he knows. Plus when you are a newborn, you only crave human blood. When you are a newborn you are uncontrollable. You have only one thing on your mind and that's blood; you really don't care who it was. You only care about quenching that thirst."

He was right… I only cared about stopping the fire in my throat….

What? I had? I don't remember! Wait! I did! Oh my gosh! How could I? My own sisters! I would never want to harm my sisters. They meant the world to me.

"I'm so sorry about all this, I really am and wish I had something in my power to help, but sadly I can't. We can't talk to her because newborns can't focus much on anything. We can't control her we would have to wait a few more months for her to become a little more controlled to be able to talk to her."

They were willing to help me? My eyes were pricking again. I wanted to be able to get to see them, but I didn't want to wait months! It was taking everything I had not to run inside and squeeze the life out of them.

"So we beg you girls that if you see her do not approach her and call us right away. Hide if you have to, do not let her see you okay?"

I froze. They wanted to keep them away from me? Who did they think they were?

"We will be guarding you girls from now on because Victoria could come at any moment and that would be very dangerous."

I was a danger. I was a murderer. Why did this have to happen to me? Why couldn't I go back to my old life?

"Okay, that's fine. I guess at the end the wait will be worth it, if it means we get my sister back. Well almost since she won't be the same…" I heard Anne say.

It broke my heart to hear her heartbroken. I hated hurting them, I was monster; uncontrollable.

They continued chatting and I couldn't take it any longer and ran.

"Victoria, come back! Where are you going?" Laurent asked.

"I can't be here. I can't stand hearing them so heartbroken! I am a monster! I can't be near them without hurting them! Now they are going to be guarded so I won't get near them! You know how that makes me feel? Like crap! Useless! Terrible! I have so many emotions going through me right now that I feel bipolar!"

I ran deep into the forest wanting to be alone.

I was glad when Laurent wasn't following me. I reached this cliff and sat at the edge of it starring out into the night.

How could my life get so messed up? How did I go from being in charge of my three sisters and the owner of a strip club to becoming a vampire?

James! Why the hell did he change me into a vampire! I wanted to go over to him right now and tear him limb from limb for doing this to me.

All of a sudden I heard someone running in full speed coming towards me; Laurent no doubt.

"Laurent go away! I want to be alone!"

"It's not Laurent…" said the voice.

Wow this felt like déjà vu. This had happened with Laurent before.

I looked over at James and glared at him. I was so pissed off at him.

"What the hell do you want?" I growled.

"Victoria, I am so sorry about before. I wasn't thinking about your feelings…" he said looking down.

I felt kind of bad seeing him like this, but I tried pushing that feeling back. He didn't deserve my forgiveness.

"Whatever." I said angrily.

I felt him sit next to me and he took my hand. I tried pulling away but he held on tightly.

"Can I ask you something James?" I asked angrily.

"Anything…" He said looking into my eyes.

I felt uncomfortable and looked away.

"Why did you change me? Why me? Why not anyone else?"

I looked at him and he was staring out into the night avoiding my gaze.

"Answer me!" I commanded.

He took a deep breath and looked at me, "I chose you, because…I…like you Victoria… There I said it."

I stared at him in shock. That is not at all what I expected to hear. I pulled my hand away and he let it go this time. I stood up and gave us some space.

"How do you know you liked me when you didn't even know me?" I demanded.

"Well I followed you…" he said like it was nothing.

"What? Since when?"

"One night I was out hunting and I saw you coming out of The Big Bang and was amazed by your beauty. I followed you home and saw how sweet and caring you were. After watching you for a while, I started liking you more and more. So I decided enough was enough and decided to change you…"

"Did it ever occur to you about how I felt? You can't just force me to like you!" I yelled in disbelief.

"I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking! I was just thinking about how I wanted you that I didn't think about how you would feel!" He protested.

"Well you know what? Because of you I was separated from the three most important people in my life! I will never be able to see them again because I am a monster and could kill them! So thanks for that!" I yelled. I wanted to cry so badly, to let out all this anger and pain.

I saw James flinch, "I'm sorry okay! If you want I'll change your sisters too so they can be part of your life if that makes you happy!"

I froze, "Are you crazy? I would never do that to them! I wouldn't force them into being something!"

"It was just a thought!" He defended.

"You know what I've had enough of you! I'm leaving!" I said and started running.

"Victoria! Wait!" He yelled and ran towards me. "Please listen to me! If you want I'll help you see them!" He said.

"I can't see them! They are being guarded so I won't get near them because if you didn't know I'm a danger to them!"

"I'll help you get passed their guards!" I froze.

Did I want that?

Yes.

Was that smart for me to do?

Probably not.

Should I take the risk?

I don't know.

"Victoria, I don't have to be a danger to them. Just don't breathe when you're with them or we can have Laurent with you to help you. Although I don't think Laurent would be much help, but he has experience." James said persuasively.

Hmm…his plan was intriguing, but what if I did something stupid like attack them?

"Victoria I would do anything for you, know that. Just think about it okay?" he said standing right next to me.

I was so confused, but nodded.

"Okay, I'll think about it. I want to be alone, so please don't follow me." I said and ran off before he could answer me.

Now it was all up to me. Part of me was telling me that it was too risky, while the other part of me told me that it would be okay and the only thing that mattered was that I got to see them….

Could I do it without hurting them? Was I willing to test that theory?
