Sorry for the long update. I got an infraction! sigh my questions fanfic is gone tear IM SO SAD!!

We headed back to the house, everyone was quiet. It only took us a couple of minutes because we ran as fast as possible. Bella was FASTER than me. That deffinately caught me be surprise.

As we approached the front door, Bella sighed. She looked troubled. Uh oh, I hope the little dear isn't afraid That was Esme. She was just as worried as I was.

"I think I owe you an explanation" Bella stated and sighed.

Everyone nodded at once.

"Okay, it all started when I was changed..." She hesitated.

"Go on dear" Esme said.

"I was changed, and I had the ability to block those powers of mind-readers and such." I tried to read her mind and came up with nothing. "The volturi found out and came after me. They brought me to Volterra to try and make me stay with them. I refused."

I gasped. "What did they do?"

"Well, Aro was not very happy. He kept trying to convince me to stay but I didn't want to. For one, they drink from humans, and I never liked the even thought of human blood as a human, so that didn't help any. I drink from animals for my own good and obviously you guys do too." We nodded.

"I tried to escape. They caught me the first time and ordered me back to stay. I was forced to stay for a couple of years until I finally cracked. They wanted me to go..hurt somebody...to get out of my animal-drinking habit and go hunt humans. I refused and that got them really ticked."

"I ran away again, to find that I had another power. I was so desperate to leave, I turned into a dog. I ran and ran and they didn't catch me this time. I was scared to endanger somebody else, but when Emmett found me, I just wanted somebody to be with. He seemed strong enough to handle them. I guess I was being selfish."

"No you weren't. We all love you and this family would still be lonely if you didn't show up" Emmett said.

"I honestly doubt that"

"I don't." That was me this time.

"Why did you stay a dog for such a long time? After Emmett found you..and brought you back here..Why didn't you just turn into a vampire again?"

"I was afraid, that you wouldn't except me"

"Of course we would've!" Alice said, thinking of all the shopping trips she could have with Bella.

"How old are you Bella?" Carlisle asked

"Physically 17, but um...32."

"Wow. Obviously you think a few years is more like 14. I'm surprised Aro didn't try and make you hunt humans earlier"

"I was only there 10 years. I've been on my own for about 4 years, until you guys came along."

"How excactly were you changed?" Carlisle again.

"I lived here actually. A coven of three vampires came along and one of them named James caught my scent. He went hunting for me...But after he bit me something happened, and I don't know what. The only thing that I can think of was that Laurent stopped him and killed him, Laurent was the third in Jame's coven along with Jame's mate Victoria."

"Why did you smell so good as a dog when you weren't even human?"

"Because dogs have blood in their systems and since I was a dog for so long I actually had blood. It dissapears though when I turn back to a vampire. When I was human, I smelled even better than I did as a dog."

"Were you scared of me?" I asked.

"At first I was, just a little bit. I was mostly afraid that i would have to turn back in that moment in the kitchen. But I didn't."

I nodded.

"Will you stay?" Esme asked.

"Um..."
