Not wasting any time I turned to Nessie, "What exactly are you? You are not a full vampire nor are you human." She looked to Edward then Carlisle.
Edward nodded in reply to a thought from Carlisle, who answered "Nessie is the daughter of Edward and Bella who was human at the time. Bella had to be turned during the birth in order to survive"
I turned to Edward enraged. "You had sex with a human! Are you insane! You could have killed her! Hell technically you did."
He looked down ashamed and had obviously felt guilt for a while. Bella spoke in his defense angry, "he was only doing what I had asked. He did it for me. I knew the risks."
I suddenly had another thought and turned to Nessie, "How old are you?" Had they hidden her and Bella from me growing up or was she younger than she looked.
"I was born four years ago though physically and mentally I am about eighteen."
I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. Then I turned to Jake who had been silent so far. "And you? You're obviously not a vampire." He growled and grumbled "Hell no, I'm not. I'm a werewolf." I nodded remembering the stories.
Rose took the moment of silence as an invitation to question me. "Who are you and how the hell do you know about us?" she asked angrily and suspiciously.
"I'm not surprised none of you seem to recognize me." I said angrily and continued coldly, "as for how I know you all told me." I left it at that to see their reaction.
I got various levels of confused looks as they all studied me and tried to remember. As I tried to block my thoughts from Edward so he couldn't cheat I was struck by a horrible thought.
I was going against the contract by being here. I started to panic and stood. "I have to go now." I needed to get out of town quickly before He found out I had made contact. I should have left this town the moment I saw Carlisle in the ER.
Edward grabbed my arm and turned me to look in his eyes as I tried to leave. "Who is He? What contract? What are you afraid of?" I had let my block slip in my panic.
"It doesn't matter. Let me go I have to leave now." I didn't bother to struggle knowing it would only hurt myself.
Carlisle walked over calmly and went to put a hand on my shoulder but I moved it. "If you are in trouble we can help you. You just have to tell us what's wrong and who is trying to hurt you."
I started laughing uncontrollably at that, shocking them all. I let myself be led back to the chair as I laughed for a few moments. I was still laughing and crying when I looked up and replied "you want to help me? You all are the reason I'm in this mess to begin with."
