Driven To Desperation (Twilight/Vampire Diaries)

"Renee when are we going to tell her?" Charlie whispered as he ushered his wife into the other room away from Bella. He was cautious of her hearing because he knew for a fact she had better hearing and senses than normal humans. Renee had her suspicions of Bella not being fully human but rather something else.

Renee sighed and began to chew at her nails nervously,"She needs to know at some point. She knows about Vampires at the very least. I mean, she's dating that damn Cold One who is just after her gene" If only she had given birth before the attack. She never wanted to bestow this curse upon her child. She never wanted to move to a small town where no vampire would find her.

Charlie sighed. "I know"

Renee began to contemplate what she should do for her daughters sake. Should she tell Bella or keep her in the dark still until another time? But that would be cruel. She didn't want her daughter to fall in love with Edward before she told her.

"We shall tell her now" Renee decided as she clamped her hand around Charlies in a comforting way. She needed the strength and support from him, "She needs to know" Renee murmured as she glanced at Bella through the glass door that lead to the living room. Bella seemed oblivious as she texted - most likely Edward - on her phone.

Charlie gently kissed his wifes cheek and smiled at her. He was happy that his wife had came to that decision. This conversation was long over due.

The couple quietly slid back into the room just as Bella looked up from her phone. The space between her eyebrows creased in confusion.

"What's wrong?" She asked her parents as she watched them nervously glance at eachother. Her mother looked saddened while her father just looked worried. What had happened?

"We need to have a chat Bells" Charlie told her in a whisper of a voice as he sat down next to her, dragging Renee along. He pulled his wife down next to him.

"We know what Edward is Bella" Renee admitted to her daughter as she placed a gentle hand upon her daughters. As the words fell from her lips, Bellas eyes widened.

"W - What? H - How? What are y-" Bella began to splutter out unintelligible responses to her mother but her Renee cut her off.

"He's a Cold One. We know"

"And we are also a different kind of...supernatural" Charlie stated as his grip on his wifes hand tightened slightly. He could already feel his palm begin to get sweaty and clammy.

"Shape shifters?" Bella guessed - even thought she didn't believe it, her parents obviously weren't supernatural - as she scrutinized her parents. They didn't look like it. They were both very pale and had no upper body strength. And both of them were quiet without a single strand of a temper.

"No Bella" Renee shook her head as she pulled her hand from Charlies and held Bellas hand in her two instead, "We are vampires. But a different kind. We are nightwalkers"

Bella raised an eyebrow in confusion. What were they? And when were her parents turned? She thought back to her life and vaguely remembering her parents never ageing. She just assumed that it was normal. You know, good genes.

Seeing her daughters confused expression, Renee carried on with her explanation, "To die, we must be staked through the heart. Vervain is a herb that weakens us and we have heartbeats. Our blood heals humans and other creatures and we can feed from a human without turning them. We also have our own vampire faces and have soft skin rather than ice cold hard skin" Renee finished with a sad smile. She could see her daughter didn't believe her. So with a sigh, she leant her head against Charlies shoulder. Immediately her wrapped a comforting arm around her and pulled her close.

Shock was an understatement for what Bella was feeling right now. They must be joking. Some weird prank that they were playing... There was no way that they were vampires...But then Renee suddenly shot forward and her face suddenly shifted...The whites of her eyes turned red and strange veins travelled down from her eyes. Her mouth stretched open wide and small fangs popped out. Bella flinched.

"Its true" She whispered out as she trailed her finger across the strange veins as they disappeared. Renee gently plucked her daughters hand from her face and placed it on her lap. She sighed again.

"But thats not all" Renee murmured quietly with a distraught look on her face. She paused for a moment with great hesitation. How would Bella react? , "I was turned when I was pregnant with you"

The news hit Bella hard and she suddenly felt sick. What did that make her? Was she secretly a vampire? She didn't understand and she was scared. She leant forward and clutched her mothers arm tightly.

"It seems that you were born with a gene that lets you..."She hesitated as she glanced at Charlie who had an embarrassed look on his face. Bella didn't like the look of things as her grip on her mothers arm tightened, "Reproduce..With male vampires"

Bellas cheeks flared up suddenly as soon as the words left her mothers mouth. But then thinking of her love, Edward, she covered her mouth in shock as she choked a strangled sob out, "Edward.."

Charlie sighed sadly as he patted his daughters shoulder in a consoling way, "I'm sorry Bells. He only wants you for the gene" Charlie finally spoke up, wanting to be apart of this conversation as he should of. It was all his fault that this had happened so the least he could do was put some input in the conversation.

"Daddy..." Bella rasped out as she jumped up from her seat and ran into her fathers arms. She snuggled into his lap as she sobbed loudly against he chest,"I loved him"

"I know you did honey" Charlie whispered against Bellas hair as he stroked her back gently. He hated Edward for this but he hated himself for letting this happen to his family, "You need to leave him"

A soft whisper fell from Bellas mouth but anger and disgust shook through her tone, "Oh I will"
