The Vampire that Bit Me(Completed)

Chapter 9

~Bella's POV~

     Carlisle just stood there as I waited for him to say something. I waved my hand in front of him but it didn't do anything. I sighed as I mentally reached out to Esme and asked her to come back alone for a minute. I heard her walk up the stairs and I looked back as she walked towards me.

"What's wrong?" She looked at Carlisle, her mate, concerned.

"If I tell you, it must be kept a secret." She just nodded but kept glancing back to her mate.

"I'm sure you don't know much about witches and their powers. If a witch depletes her powers too much at once we start to become more human. The only way that it can fully regenerate quickly is to consume vampire blood; yes it's a real thing. Carlisle is the only vampire in history to have blood and venom." Esme gave me a blank stare and slowly blinked.

"O-okay. How does that work?" She was choosing her words carefully and I didn't fault her.

"Honestly, I'm unsure. I would think just biting but I'd have to ask Aro. He was the one that gave me a flask of vampire blood before. If you'll excuse me and please wake him up somehow." She nodded and I left as I knew what she was going to do. I found Carlisle's office and his phone book. Aro's number was the first one there.

"Well, he was the first vampire he met properly." I hummed as I called the Volturi.

"Castello di Volterra, quanti ti aiuto?"(Volterra Castle, how may I help you?) I guess all calls go to the secretary.

"Ciao, devo parlare con Aro con una questione urgente."(Hello, I must speak to Aro with an urgent matter.) At least I learned Italian before I left Eleanor's coven.

"Naturalmente."(Of course.) Hopefully Aro isn't busy with trials.

"Questo è Aro."(This is Aro.) I silently thanked the gods.

"Aro, it's Bella."

"Ah, young Bella! What can I do for you today?" I hummed when he said young Bella.

"The last time I was there you gave me vampire blood. How did you extract it?" I heard Aro sigh like he was tired.

"As you know vampire skin is impenetrable except by vampire teeth. A vampire must bite deep enough into a vein closer to the top layer of skin for the blood to come out. It will only give you about a vial's worth so you must be quick. What happened to the vials I gave you?"

"I'm not sure. I came back to my coven to realize what Eleanor was doing. She's dead now and possibly Maxine. Sarah was-" A sob came up and I hurried to stop it.

"Bella? Are you okay?" I nodded but he couldn't see that.

"Yeah. Um, I killed her unintentionally. Fera found me and it wasn't pretty afterwards. I will visit so you can see yourself. I must get going though. Thank you Aro." I hung up not waiting for a response.

"Okay. I just need Esme to cooperate with this." I sighed and rubbed my hands down my face. I walked back to the kitchen and saw Esme kissing Carlisle who was finally back down from space. I let them have their moment until a throat cleared.

"So, how do we get the blood you need?" Carlisle asked as he walked up to me.

"We need a vein close to the surface." He nodded and rolled up his sleeve to show pale forearms. I noticed a very slim silver line on his wrist. I guess this is where they opened a vein up last time.

"Here. Do you have something small, a vial maybe?" Carlisle motioned for Esme to go upstairs.

"Top drawer." She was only gone a few seconds and was back.

"Thank you. Esme, I'm sorry, but only vampire teeth can penetrate vampire skin. It has to be deep enough to make him bleed." She nodded and looked up towards Carlisle.

"I trust you." She smiled at him and bent down towards his wrist. Carlisle groaned in pain but it was quick as Esme was against the wall with a crazed look. I saw blood start to come out so I held the vial under the cut until it healed itself a few seconds later.

"Interesting." I muttered as I pulled the vial away. Carlisle pulled down his sleeves and walked over to Esme.

"Love, are you okay?" She gulped and just stared. She must've nodded as Carlisle approached her. I swirled the vial a little and was mesmerized by the contents.

"Are you okay, Esme?" I asked as I ripped my gaze from the vial of blood.

"Yeah. The blood tasted like rotten food or something like that." I nodded in understanding. I sighed as I gripped the vial tighter. This might not taste good then. I took a deep breath and chugged the vial. As the blood touched my tongue something unlocked in my mind. I gasped and dropped the vial as so many images ran through my mind. I saw many glimpses of a cross and blonde hair. It was a village church and I saw the same cross Carlisle had upstairs. Many long nights and fear; so much fear. Dark tunnels and women being beaten to death or burned. The last witch that was shown was very clear as she locked eyes with me. I whimpered as the flames licked at her legs as she cursed me before the flames consumed her. Pain erupted in my body and I screamed like I was on fire. It stopped and the hunger started and it never stopped. Another few witches I saw but they looked familiar to me. I'm Ignus, Anabel's sister. Running and swimming were all that I saw for a while until a colonial house was shown. Esme's face came into view but she was much younger; she was human. Edward came through after she left but he stayed until Esme came back again. Happiness was all I felt even as the other members came to the family. I gasped as I snapped my eyes open from the 300 years of information. I just saw Carlisle's whole life but I also felt stronger than before.

"Are you okay, Bella?!" Carlisle and Esme were holding me up. I cleared my throat and nodded.

"Yeah. That blood packs a punch though." I chuckled trying to diffuse the situation.

"What happened? You screamed for a second and then it was quiet." I gulped and tried to figure out how to explain what I just saw.

"I believe when I tasted your blood I saw your past. All 300 and some years. I also know what Anabel did to you. The wolves will be needed indeed for this plan to work."
