Hi, so I don't know if you checked out my profile but, I don't really get a lot of reviews so when I checked my email and saw 3 reviews and follows/favorites/alert lists in less than an hour it made me really happy so have another chapter. Chapter 2!

Guess: To answer your question I don't really have exact dates that I update, I post the next chapter as soon as I write and proofread it. So, really, it's whenever I have the time and motivation to write. Hope that answers your question. =)

Italics mean thought or flashbacks I'll make it so you can tell the difference.

-Bella P.O.V.-

Holy shit. I think staring at the vampire from last night, in the meadow. We are staring at each other openly not even trying to hide that we are. Alice clears her throat and my head snaps back to her.

"What did you want to talk about Alice?" I say praying that my voice does not crack during this conversation. I look towards the rest of her family. I first look toward a guy with dirty blonde hair, and I pained look on his face. Which is enough to bring a smile to my face before I turn to look at the next guy sitting next to the first guy, the difference between the two guys was big, this guy was a muscular. That wouldn't be surprising, quite a few vampires become more muscular after the change, but the fact that he had his arm rapped around a fricken Barbie doll! Although the expression on her face was not of a barbie, that face had the look that she wanted to rip me to shreds. I won't ask. Finally, I look towards the vampire from the meadow, copper hair not too muscular body but not scronnie at all, just right. All of them have a different shade of amber. My eyes linger on Meadow boy a little longer than they did on the others before turning back to Alice once again.

"What do you need?" I say the irritation showing in my voice.

"Oh, Bella I just wanted to know how you're a Vampire and your heart is still beating, faintly, but still beating, and I want to know how." Alice stated and near the end it sound much more like a command to tell her the truth.

"You all get to ask me one question, no more, and to answer your question Alice I'm a hybrid that's been alive for hundreds of years, things worked differently then," not exactly a lie. "and before you ask anymore questions, think about if you want that question to be your only one." I said slumping into one of the open chairs next to where Alice had sat a few minutes prior.

"Oh, and I have one question if you don't mind me asking one." I say sheepishly.

"Ask on Bella" Pain faced guy said facing me.

"What are your names?"

Pain faced guy smiled before telling me their names, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and lastly Edward. All old-fashioned names.

"I want to go first!" Emmett said almost bouncing up and down. I nod him on, "How old are you exactly?" He says with the biggest grin on his face.

"3,400 years old in a few weeks." I say and almost all their jaws dropped, and I chuckled at their reactions, "Anyone else have questions for me and my past?" Jasper keeps glaring at me, and I turned my head his way and hissed, "What are you staring at?"

"I can't read your emotions." Was all Jasper said, glaring harder.

"No matter how much you try to break through to my emotions, it won't work, it's never worked for anyone not ever Jane and Aro could break through and cause me pain or read my thoughts. It's very amusing." I say thinking of all the fights I've had with Aro because he wouldn't stop touching me.

"You know the Volturi!?" Alice said gasping, even though she didn't need to breathe.

"You just used your question Alice, and yes I've known them for years, I knew them before they were the Volturi."

"How, and why?" Rosalie said, with a curious expression.

"That Rosalie is a good question, but not for here, I'm ditching classes, what about all of you?" I say standing up and walking back over to my table to clean up my tray and get my bag seeing that class started five minutes ago.

I walked up to my car and smiled at it. It might a little old, but she loved it and could no bear to separate from it.

"Nice car." Emmett said from behind me.

"I know that's why I bought it however many years ago." Bella said getting into the car and starting it before rolling down the window and sticking my head out, "My house or yours?" I call out.

"Yours will be best, we'll all follow behind you, okay?" Alice said from inside the backseat of the silver Volvo parked next to me. I nod and back up and am off down the road to get to my secluded house.

-o0o-

I pull up to my driveway and pushes the button to open the garage and slowly parks it in there. The Cullen's pull into the driveway behind me and turned off their car. And one by one they got out all looking at my house they expected I lived in a tiny cottage that's underground.

"Well come on guys, I have to give you a tour before any questions that aren't related to my house can be asked. I waved them into the garage and all their heads turned to the piles of wood and tools around in a way that looked very unorganized, but were, in my own weird way, no one ever said I was normal.

"This is obviously my garage I do my woodcarving and sometimes art." I said as I walked to the door and held it opened open for them.

I go throughout my five story house and show them everything, the library, kitchen, living room, guest rooms, office, art room, music room, and pause as I reach my room on the top floor, "And this is my room." I say opening the door revealing my huge room with my bed in the far side with a dark comforter on it, on the left side of my bed you, have my redwood night stand with an alarm clock, book, and a bottle of water on it, on the right side you have double stacked books shelfs to the corner of my room that had the ladder (you know, the latter that you can slide over to other parts of the shelf?) my desk a few feet from my book self with scattered papers about boring stuff and a few more stray books. At the other end of the wall you have a door that goes to my bathroom on the last wall you have a few small desks with sowing stuff and designs on it with my closet door a few feet reveling my walk in closet which needs to be restocked soon, because I tend to shift with my clothes on. I hear Alice squeal excitedly next to me and I give her a sharp look, "You can come, but we buy what I want okay Alice?" I say and she nods with a passion. I shake my head and look towards the rest of the Cullen's. "Any more questions about me?"

"You never answered my question about how and why you know and knew the Volturi before they were the Volturi." Rosalie said.

"You see Aro…Aro's my brother."

I feel evil leaving it at a cliff hanger like this, but this is what you get if you want an update soo…How is Aro, Bella's brother? Why did Bella change him? Why is she not part of the Volturi? If you have any questions or suggestions that you want to tell/ask me about then you can leave a review or PM me. Have a good Day/Night!
