That's Rose's balcony. Kat has one too, but not as big.

Katherine's POV
I woke up the next morning. I got off my bed slowly.
Good. I felt normal again. I made myself decent and went downstairs.
The entire day went by normally. Except for Emmett.
He decided he wanted to be like Avril Lavigne and ran around the house singing Girfriend.
Thank goodness we were out of civilization. Sorry for the animals though.
It was in the evening when I lay on the ground, bored. I went up to see Rosalie.
She opened her door and let me in. We went and sat on the chairs on her balcony and talked for a while.
I showed her the stars through the telescope. Rosalie had never used it before, but I knew a lot of the stars.
I wanted to be an astronomer, but gave that up when I found out about the Bermuda Triangle. I pointed out Orion's Belt and Pegasus to her.
"Katherine, I don't wanna make you sad or anything, but, what happened to your parents?" she asked.
"Do you wanna know everything in my past or just that?" I asked her.
"Everything," Rose said.
I started.
"Well, when I was younger, I was at home with my parents. I lived like a normal child. I never knew the pack, or knew that I was a werewolf."
"My parents knew about werewolves though. They just didn't know if I would be one, since my dad was a werewolf but my mom was human, so they never said anything."
"I was taking a walk in the forest in the night. I was fourteen. I remember it well. That night was a full moon. Werewolves don't need the full moon to shift, but the first time you're shifting, it always happens on a full moon."
"I remember I fell to the ground, in so much pain, screaming like I don't know what."
"Every single bone cracked out of its joint. God, Rose it hurt like crazy."
"When I finally turned, I ran around and got the feel of things. The first two or three times you shift, it hurts a lot, but not as much as the first time."
"After that I told my dad what happened and he explained everything to me. I was okay with it."
I stopped. "What happened to your parents?" she asked me.
I took a huge breath and started.
Edward's POV
I just came home from Bella's. I had to leave before her dad came. Sadly.
I was passing Rosalie's room when I heard her say to someone," What happened to your parents?"
She was probably talking to Kat. Katherine never told anyone about what happened. And I hate her with every inch of my being, but I still wanted to know.
Call me eavesdropper, but hey, I'm curious.
She began.
"I was at home, eating dinner with my parents. We talked as usual. I was an only child so I usually told my troubles to my parents."
"After that we sat down and watched TV. In the middle of the show, the door burst open."
"Five men came in with guns and knives. I was effing terrified. Two of them kept guns pointing at us and the others swept everything off the dining room table."
"They grabbed my mother and and father and tied them down on the table."
"My parents fought like crazy, but it was five against two. Four of the men stood at the table and each of them pulled out knives."
"One of them stood behind me and held my head in their direction. The men lowered the knives to their skin."
Katherine took a deep breath.
"I was forced to watch my parents get chopped to death."
"Before they left, I took a deep breath to get their scent and ran like the wind. Straight out the door and that's when I found the pack."
"They took me in and took care of me. But I hunted down those men. And I killed them."
I stopped listening. I couldn't hear anymore.
Katherine was forced to watch her parents get killed.
It must have been horrible. Oh hell, it is horrible.
I felt sorry for her right now. No wonder Sam told us to be careful with her.
Sometimes when she spent the night over here she would wake up screaming. I never went to find out why.
I thought it was just some nightmare. Dear God, she was probably dreaming about this. I left and went up to my room.
I sat down on the couch and thought about what happened to her for the entire night.
Even if I was able to sleep, I knew I couldn't. I just thought about what she said.
