Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Twilight.

I know it has been forever since I've updated, and I really don't have a good excuse. The best one I have is finals (they were brutal) and writer's block. I couldn't think of anything. I know it doesn't make up for the wait, but I hope you like it.

The next chapter should be up very soon

I glanced around and recognized the scenery as from my vision. All of a sudden, Bella came to a complete stop in the center of the field. Emmett and I took our places in the circle surrounding her. Bella looked everywhere for an escape; her features showing defeat when she found none.

"B, what's wrong? Why'd you run?" Austin stepped forward.

"Bella," I wanted noting more than to run up and hug her, but I didn't know how she felt about us, so I resisted the urge. I noticed the conflict in Edward's eyes, and knew he wanted to sweep her into his arms, kiss her, and never let her go. He feared her rejection, as well, and kept his distance. I asked what I and everyone else wanted to know, " What happened to you?"

I noticed her family tense. They stared at her warily as Jared turned to me. "How does that concern you?" he asked, tense.

"Bella," Esme took a step forward, and I knew she wanted to run up and hug her as much as I did.

"Why the hell do you give a damn what happened to me?" Bella asked, her voice roiling with anger and pain, nearly a growl.

"B," Austin breathed, obviously surprised. The rest of her family looked equally taken aback at her livid outburst. This made me, for the thousandth time, wonder what Edward had told her when he left.

The tall dark-haired female stepped forward and attempted to wrap Bella in a hug, but she took a step back.

"Of course we care about what happened to you. We all love you." Shocked, I turned to Rosalie, along with the rest of my family and a wide-eyed Bella.

"Yes, dear. I had come to think of you as a daughter." Esme said, recovering from her shock.

"Whoa, what?" Jared was surprised, as well as the rest of Bella's coven.

Bella, however, was still looking for a way out. She had a calculating look on her face, and I began to feel trepidation. I remembered that she had escaped from us a few times as a human.

Suddenly, she began to run at Emmett. He looked shocked, but before he had time to react, she had jumped into the tree directly behind him.

Jared immediately was in the tree after her, and I began to follow.

"Wait," Austin said before I had taken more than a few steps. "Let Jared help her calm down. He's an empath."

I fell to the ground and began to sob. Why had my best friend and sister run from me, from us? Did she no longer love us?

I felt Jasper's arms around me. Everyone else slowly came and sat in a circle. Last came Edward. As I saw him, I suddenly got pissed off. I leapt up and began screaming at him.

"WHAT DID YOU TELL HER WHEN YOU LEFT? WHAT DID YOU SAY THAT MADE HER THINK WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HER?"

I was fuming. Everyone stared at me, surprised. Edward just stared at me, the pain and torment etched on his face. I felt my anger drain, but I knew it wasn't Jasper. Edward looked so hurt and lost that I couldn't help but pity him slightly. "Why did my best friend run from me, from all of us?" I asked softly, all the anger gone.

Edward looked at the ground, no longer able to meet my gaze. He still looked completely dejected as he told us. "I said I no longer loved her." His voice was no more than a whisper.

"YOU WHAT?" I shrieked, furious again.

"Wait, what's going on?" Austin interrupted.

"I'm sorry. We haven't been introduced. I'm Carlisle. This is my wife, Esme. Our daughter, Alice and her husband, Jasper." He waved a hand to us. "Our other daughter, Rosalie, and her husband Emmett." Another hand wave. "And our son, Edward." He shook their hands.

"I'm psychic, Jasper is an empath, and Edward is a telepath," I said quickly, smiling at them.

"I'm Austin, this is my wife, Melody," he hugged the tall black-haired female closer. "This is our sister, Beth" the nodded to the red-head. "The guy that ran off is Beth's husband, Jared, and I guess you already know B."

"I'm telekinetic, Melody can see and share memories with others, Jared's an empath, and B can shield herself and others from other vampires' special abilities." Beth said with a huge grin at us.

"How do you know B?" asked Austin.

"Why do you call her B?" Emmett asked at the same time.

"That's what she asked us to call her. What do you call her?" Beth asked curiously.

"Bella," we said simultaneously, then we began to laugh. It was slightly hysterical and stopped almost immediately.

"That suits her better, I think." Melody mused.
