PAST AND PRESENT (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 16

I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, MEYERS AND L.J. SMITH DO. I ONLY OWN THE PLOT, AND THE EVENTS THAT GO WITH IT.

BELLA'S POV

Sam and I had just gotten home. The conversation we had, made us closer. He understands a few more things, but he also understand that sometimes people do things because they think it's the right thing. Whether or not it really is, is for them to find out later.

Edward was waiting for us at the back door.

"What took you guys so long?"

"We bonded a bit." He looked at me.

"A bit?" I nodded. He chuckled and pulled me to him.

"C'mon it's alomst 8 and Alice wants to talk to all of us before the kids have to go to sleep." I followed him.

We sat on the love seat. I was on his lap when Alice came in all scared. Something's seriously wrong.

"Ali what happened?" I asked, you could tell how worried I was.

My kids were in the room, but some of us were ready to distract them is needed. Damon and Stefan were standing by them, along with Esme and Jacob. Everybody was standing or sitting on the chairs, couch or by them.

"Tanya." Was her answer.

What the hell could my sister see that would make her act like that. I started to think and I got a few, but they didn't make sense. I kept thinking hoping something would come, but nothing did.

I gave up. It would e better if I looked in the future and see if that helps. I tried and got nothing, except a few things I really don't want to mention. Nothing told me what could make her act like that.  Think, what could she do to make your sister be scared.

She would have to kill someone, torture them, and hurt them.

Jasper's out.

Emmett's out.

Rosaile's out.

Edward's out.

Esme's out.

Carlisle's out.

My kids are out.

Stefan's out.

Damon's out.

Hell even Jacob's out.

That just leaves...me.

"Alice, she doesn't? She can't. she's not that strong." I gasped out.

Sis are you okay? I couldn't answer my brother.

"Bella?" My husband asked me.

"I think I know what's got Alice like that?" I said unsure.

"What?" I looked at her, just to make I got right. She nodded.

I looked at Jacob. "Why don't you guys go out for a walk?" They nodded and left, but not before gave a me a look.

I couldn't say it, I just couldn't! Thankfully Alice did.

"I saw Tanya killing Bella." She whispered. Everybody was shocked at what she said. Including my brothers.

"That's not possible." Damon spoke,  louder than a whisper. Almost everyone looked at him.

"I know.It's not possible unless..." I trailed off.

"Unless what Bella?" Stefan asked. Nobody else was talking they were all in shock and couldn't say a word.

"Vervain, steel, the sun." Was what responded. That made them think.

"Even then." Damon spoke.

I shook my head my head, "Not if she used all three, and I was already weak from not hunting."

"How do you know that?" Edward finally spoke.

"That's what Katherine would do." I answered. Damon and Stefan knew what I meant.

"Here's what we do, we make sure Bella doesn't face or see Tanya alone. Someone should always be with her..."

"I can take care of myself Damon. You of all people know that. I did it when I found out you guys were vampires, when mom died. I know how to protect myself."

"She somehow killed you." Stefan responded before Damon could. Wow he's pissed.

"Then I'll just be a hell of a lot more careful. I'll make sure I hunt every three days, I'll practice fighting, I'll make I always have my ring."

"What about the vervain, you can't do anything about that." Damon stated.

"Then I always carry blood with me somehow. Happy problem mildly solved." As much as I love Damon he was really starting to piss me off. How dare he think I can't protect myself from another vampire. I don't need someone with me 24/7. If he doesn't, i sure as hell don't.

"I'm not going to win am I?"

"No dear brother you're not."

"You're so stubborn." He whispered.

"A trait I picked up from you." We were both ready to snap.

"We have a matter a hand, and we sure don't need you two at each others throats." Stefan said knowing how we get when this happens.

Damon backed down, as did I, but I knew he would start it again the first chance he got. UGH!

Ignoring what happened between me and my brother, we got back to the crap we had to deal with.

We finished in two hours, 3 minutes before the kids came back. I was emotionally tired and just wanted to go to sleep. My prefect husband made up a prefect excuse and was able to get me home. The kids followed. Since we were short on room, Ness and Zoey had to share, not that they minded.

Edward carried me to the room, and put us both on the bed.

"Belle, I need you to promise me something."

"Depends on what it is."

"Promise you won't go anywhere without telling me where. I can't bare the thought of you being killed."

"I don't like it, but I promise. I'd feel the same way if it was you."

He that crooked smile that I love, and kissed me, "Thank you."
