"Bella...please, don't walk away again." Edward's natural velvet voice sounded so strained this time. I slowly turned around and saw him looking at my arm, too afraid to look me in the eyes. He was afraid if he offended me awhile ago. The way Edward looked right now really tore me apart. He's normally so strong and brave, he's fearless. But looking at him right now, it shows me that he has a soft spot. I'm just shocked that this soft spot is revolving around me. I guess i am to blame in this current situation, it's my fault i wasn't completly truthful with Edward and the Cullens. Edward was still looking at my arm. I tilted his head so that he could look me in the eyes.

"Edward, are you scared of me?" I questioned him. He tried to turn away, but i firmly held his chin. He was a bit shocked to see that he couldn't move from ym grasp.
"Answer me Edward. Was that fight with Hathaway scaring you? Did it make you realize that i'm not the girl you fell in love with?" I asked him again. He looked me in the eye with a shocked expression.
"Tell me the truth Edward. I need to know. If my identity changed your whole perspective on me, i could leave you alone and you won't ever see me again." I quietly said. I let go of his chin and he let go of my arm. We stared at each other for a couple minutes before he whispered his answer.

"Yes." He said. I backed away from him. It was understandable, i've lost his trust, his comfort and his love. "That's all i needed to know." I said and broke off into a run. I started running away from Edward and everyone else for the second time. I just knew it. If Edward or the other Cullens couldn't accept me then i couldn't stay. I would put everyone in danger. Not even my mother could accept me. So what makes me think that the Cullens could do the same. They're my family. They were my family. I guess the next step is to look for Victoria. If i were a stalking red head vampir bitch with a need for revenge, where would i hide? Yeah, that's helping me. I believe i ran a good 12km from the clearing. I stopped near a tree and just sat down. I've screwed up big time.

"Bella? Why do you keep running?" A voice shouted behind me. I got up and got into a fighting stance. Edward emerged out of the dark. I backed up against the tree, i had a feeling he was uncomfortable with me.
"Bella. I'm not afraid of you." Edward snarled.
"You're just saying that." I said. He walked up towards me, but i kept walking backwards.
"Ugh, Bella please. Just listen to me. You never let me finish my answer." He pleaded.
I walk backed again.
"Yes, my perspective on you has changed. But what hasn't changed is my love for you. Don't you understand? When you ran away the first time, i broke down. I figured out that i messed up and i needed you. I don't care that you've kept a secret from me. All i cared about was you for the past 5 hours. I was freaking out because i couldn't find you. I didn't give a fuck about your damn secret. I just needed to know if you were okay. I needed to know if you were safe. I needed you back in my arms. So i ran after you. But i couldn't even i find you! I walked back to the clearing with a clear defeat and i was bringing everyone down. I felt so much hatred for myself, i couldn't believe i treated you like that. You leaving, just brought back those memories where we were apart. I couldn't handle it Bella. I need you, dhampir or human. I need you, because i love you." He started to advance on me, but i walked back. Everything he said touched my heart. I knew he loved me. I knew that i still love him. But i was still shocked about this. He groaned.

"Bella please. Don't leave me, i don't know what i'll do without you. I'm nothing without you." He whispered. He started to advance on me again. I didn't move. He took this oppurtunity and crashed into me with a bone crushing hug. It was a bit lighter than Emmett's though. He put me down and kissed me with a lot of force. He backed me up to the tree and he thrusted his tongue into my mouth. I wrapped my hands into his hair and he lifted me up so i wound my legs around his waist. Edward wasn't holding back, he did miss me. Even if it has been a couple hours. He snaked his hands inside my shirt and was caressing my body. I shuddered while our tongues fought for dominance. I came up for air and he kissed along my neck, I moaned softly. He let go of my neck and let me down. "Does this mean you'll forgive me?" He pleaded. I chuckled. I buried my head in his shoulder and nodded. He kissed my head.

"So what do you want to do now?" I asked him.
"Well i don't feel like going back to practice. You want to just stay here?" He asked me. We both sat down near the tree and just started talking. We talked about my training back at the academy. We talked about my achievements and how i was a legend back then. But there was one topic i didn't want to dread on, however he beat me to it.

"So, if you're a dhampir? Then I'm guessing Renee and Charlie aren't your real parents." He asked. His arm was around my shoulder and i leaned on him.
"Uhm, no their not my real parents." I said. I didn't want to talk about this, but he didn't get the hint.
"So, who are your real parents? I would love to meet them." He said while kissing my head.
"I don't think you would."
"Of course i would. They're going to be my parents in law soon right?" He eagerly said.
"I know, but, they weren't really my parents. They still aren't. Well i guess my dad is okay, but i don't even know him. My mother is a whole other story. She abandoned me and doesn't regret anything." Edward looked at me and just held me close.
"I'm sorry i didn't know that this question affected you." He said.
"You didn't know, it just bothers me a little bit. I've gotten over it."
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but Jay said that you had a sister. How old is she?" To be quite honest i had no idea how old Rose was.
"I don't know, it's been awhile." I whispered. I thought we were done witht he uncomfortable topics, apparently not. Edward chose a new one.

"Did you train with Jay before? Because she's never been defeated by one of us, only her daughter came close to winning one time." He asked me.
"Uh yeah, i've trained with her once or twice. But i mostly trained with Dimitri or Rose."
"How come it looks like Jay hates you? No offence, but why?"
"See that's my problem too. I don't even know. But i don't even care." I said.
"Ah, i see."
"No matter how hard i do something, it never pleases her. Sometimes i think that she doesn't even care about me."
"You want me to talk to Jay? Maybe i can find out why she's acting this way." He offered. If he does that, he's going to find out that 'Jay' is my mother. I wonder how that's going to turn out. Somewhere during the night i fell asleep to Edward humming my lullaby.

"Bella, wake up love. We need to go back to the house." Edward whispered in my ear. I slowly woke up to Edward's eyes staring right into my own. I smiled and snuggled into his arms. He chuckled and whispered, "You know, as much as i love staying here just with you, we need to go back. Everyone is wondering what happened to us."

"Fine, have it your way." I said. He pulled me up and put me on his back while he ran back to the house. The house came into view after a few minutes. Edward entered the house with me still on his back. I jumped off and saw everyone just watching us.

"Where have you been?" Esme scolded us.
"Sorry Esme, i was just upset, so Edward came to find me. I guess i just fell asleep there. Please don't blame Edward, Mom." I told her. When i said 'mom', my own mother's eyes just got a bit bigger when she saw i was addressing Esme as my mother.
"It's okay baby, as long as you're safe. Come now, i have a breakfast for you." Esme brought me to the table. I scarfed down sunny side up eggs and orange juice. Everyone was still in the living room. I went into the living room and everyones eyes were on me. I just noticed that the wolves were also there. Jacob, Embry, Quil and Sam.

"Bella, i think you need to explain a couple things to us. I mean we all accept the fact that you're exactly like Jay, but we want to know everything about you being a guardian." Carlisle asked me. I knew this was coming.
"Okay." I started off with my stories of training with Rose and Dimitri, then my battles with Strigoi's, the reason why i left for a new life and my friends there. The one thing i didn't talk about was my family.

"Well, that's sure something Bells." Jacob told me. I shrugged.
"So, Charlie isn't your father isn't he." Jake asked me.
"No, Renee isn't my mother either." I said.
"Then who are your parents. Surely, their dhampirs like you?" Esme asked.
"Uh yeah. My mom is. My dad is a Moroi."
"Who are they Bells? We would love to meet them." Alice said.
"Uh..."
"Yes Isabella, who are your parents?" My father, Abe asked me. My sister was looking at me with such curiosity, she knew that i didn't want the Cullens to know who my true parents are.
"Dad, isn't that a bit personal to ask, plus, don't you know them?" Rose covered for me.
"Of course." Abe said.
"No, Abe. You're asking the right questions. Isabella, how are your parents?" My mother asked me.
"I don't know. I don't know them." I said. I knew what she was doing. She wants me to feel bad about this whole thing.
"Surely, you know them. I mean i just saw you last night with them." My mother said.
"Oh they're here Bella? Where? We shouldn't leave them outside, they're family now." Esme said.
"Come on Bells, tell us." Rosalie said.
"Uh, i-i, uhm." I kept stuttering.
"This is making Bella uncomfortable, can we stop talking about it." Edward said. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Don't Baby her Edward. She's brave enough to tell us who her parents are." Mom kept on saying. I said nothing.
"I mean, it seems to me that her parents mean nothing to her. Obviously, she's just trying to avoid them. I know that her parents work hard to keep her living. Yet, she does nothing to appreciate them. Everything they do is for her. Or that's what her mother told me." My mother said. My father was shaking his head at her. Adrian was recording the whole thing. Jerk.
"Jay, stop it." Emmett warned her.
"I'm just saying. Why is Isabella so ashamed of her parents?" I was getting pissed. She just smiled at me.

"Stop. it. Now." I said.
"Stop what darling? I'm just stating the facts." She said. This was between me and her.
"You know why i don't think my parents are my parents, it's because they were never there for me. They never showed one piece of affection for me. They abandoned me to figure everything out on my own. Even when i was the best i could be, everybody adored me, except the person that mattered, my mother. She doesn't care, she thinks of me as a piece of trash, that she could easily discard anyday. My father, well i don't know him that well, but at least he has the decency to actually give me advice. He actually cares for me. Maybe i like him better than my mom. But still , he wasn't there for me when i was younger. He wasn't there for Rose. You and him weren't there at all. Until today." I ranted. I went through what i said and i realized that i said You and Him, then i said Rose.

"Bella, i didn't know you felt this strongly." My dad said.
"I'm sorry, i didn't mean say those things, sometimes it just aggravates me." I said.
"How dare you?" My mother screamed.
"What?" I innoncently asked.
"You are ungrateful. You're nothing like Rose." I shrugged.
"That's because i'm not Rose, Mom. I'm Bella. The other daughter you've neglected." I said.
"I will talk to you later." My mom said and she went upstairs.
"I'll try to become a better father to you Bella and to you too Rose. I'm so sorry, i'll go talk to your mother." Dad said. He went after my mother. Rose was smiling at me.
"How did you get through that?" I asked her.
"I don't know, she just started to get used to me." She said.
"She'll never get used to me." I said. I forgot that the Cullens and the Wolves were still here.

"Oh sorry you had to see that." I said.
"Bella, Jay and Abe are your parents?" Jasper asked me.
"Uh yeah. Rose is my sister." I said.
"Well then." Sam said.
"Yeah, welcome to the family. It's going to be like this for awhile." I said. Edward was holding me tighter and kissed my cheek.

"Shouldn't you try to reason with your mother?" Rosalie asked me. Rose and me laughed.
"Try to reason with our mother is like asking for death. She always gets what she wants. But i don't know what she wants from Bella." Rose said.
"I see." Alice said.
"However Bella, those words probably hurt your mother more than anything." Esme said.
"Don't worry Esme, she deserved to hear that. Everything Bella said was true. She abandoned us to figure everything out. Abe was a mystery to us until we found him in Russia, even then he was threatning us. But he got soft too. However, our mom, she always thinks she's right even if she's wrong. There was a time where even I hated her. Bella raised me. Nobody really helped us." Rose said.
"That's why when you see these two fight, they fight hard because they're taking their anger out." Adrian said. I threw a pillow at him.
"Ow, little dhampir that hurt." He said. He ruffled my hair and sat next to Rose. But since Dimitri was there he pulled Rose tighter to him.
"Ouch." I said.
"Don't even Bella." Rose said.
"Whatever."

"So, now you know everything about me." I shurgged.
"But i have a feeling we still have much to learn about you love." Edward murmered.
"I heard that." His head snapped up and he grimaced.
"That's going to take awhile to get used to." Edward said.

"So about this strategy?" Jake said.
"Right, we'll discuss it when Jay and abe come down." Carlisle said.
"Which won't be for a long time." Rose and I said at the same time.
"In the meantime, who wants to play games?" Emmett suggested.
"Nope." Jasper said.
"I never win in this." Emmett said.

Just then Alice had a mysterious gleam in her eyes, she wasn't having a vision though...she was smirking at me and Rose. What does she have planned?
