Gone

Chapter 1

Edward POV

After I left Bella I felt terrible. I knew I wanted her back. I need her. She is my oxygen. After 6 months of torture I told my family that we shall go back to Forks and hopefully Bella will forgive me. We all packed up from our house in Alaska and made our way to Forks. When we got there I went straight to Bella's house to find that she wasn't there neither was Charlie. And their scents were months old. I saw blood too. What happened to my love?

I told Carsile about this and he signed us back in school. Our first day back I found Angela. She had always been a good friend of Bella's. Not jealous, she was a true friend. "Angela." I said. She turned around and you could tell she was surprised to see me. "Edward Cullen?" She asked. "Yes. Where is my Bella?" I asked. Angela became saddened. "What happened?" I asked. "You better sit down." Angela said. Then she told me the story.

"After the day you left Bella came to school. And wow. She had bags under her eyes and her eyes were red from crying.. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were ruffled and her skin was paler than it normally was. She didn't talk to any of us. Just stared into space. We didn't exactly know how to help. The next day she didn't come to school nor the day after that. She never came back. A week later I was watching the news to find out that Chief Swan had died.. And Bella was missing or had run away. No one knew. And no one could find her." Angela said, finishing with her eyes downcast.

My breathing stopped and I swear my non beating heart broke. "So she just disappeared?" I asked. She nodded. "Okay. I have to go. But thank you Angela." I said and ran from her. I ran home. I told the family. We have to figure out what happened.

Bella POV

I am currently living in Saratoga Springs, New York. I have to admit it is nice here. I liked not having rain 24/7. I am living right on Broadway street which is where all the entertainment is. I have one of those little apartment houses. Mine has 3 floors, I have the second floor. It has one bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, living room, and a small work room. My bedroom is painted dark blue with hard wood floors. I have a queen sized bed with a flower print for the cover. The bathroom has a shower, tub, and toilet. The kitchen has an island and granite counter tops. And the work room has my desk with my laptop in it and millions of books.

I just finished my shower and I grabbed some clothes out. I picked out a white lace tank top over that a black vest with dark jeans then I put on my black converse. I started to walk to work. I work at Nicole's Motel. (A/N: I made it up.) At Nicole's we all treat each other like the family I never had. I walked into the resturant and immediately got hello's from everyone. There was Lillian, George, Becca, Corey, Samantha, Ashley, and Nicole. I said hello back went to stand behind the desk with Becca. Ashley and Sam were the maids while George and Corey were the cooks. Nicole was the boss but she helped sometimes. And when I was bored I helped everyone else out also.

"Hey Annie." Becca said. "Yes?" I asked. Now I bet you are confused. I changed my name to Annie Tessa Jones. I used to live in Forks, Washington before this and before that I used to live in Phoenix, Arizona. When I lived in Phoenix I lived with my step father, Phil and my mother, Renee I believed they needed alone time so I sent myself to Forks to live with my real father, Charlie. He is the chief of police. I soon made some nice friends and then I met the Cullen's.

I felt a stab of pain as I thought about them. But this needs to be said.

I soon learned that they are vampires and Edward became my boyfriend. We went through many challenges but always ended up together.. Always. Until it happened, Edward made his family move away. He left me. He told me that I don't deserve him. That he never loved me and then he left me standing alone in the dark forest. The next day when I came home from school I found Charlie dead on the floor. Victoria was standing over him drinking his blood. Something happened in me then. I was so furious. I growled and I felt myself shaking then I transformed into a werewolf. Victoria freaked and ran. I wanted to go after her but was a little creeped out myself. It turns out that I am the second girl to become a werewolf and I have done research on it.

It said and I quote, 'Werewolves are usually men dogs who together run in packs hunting down their pray. Werewolves or I guess you can call them shape shifters, have certain qualities. They have their human form but when they would like or when they lose their temper they might change. The werewolves all eat regular food and everything but they do not age. In 1894 there was a girl wolf. The first one. She was the same as the male wolfs except she didn't have a scent. There haven't seen any since.'

It is true I don't have a scent. I couldn't believe that I became a werewolf. I packed up my things and fled. I had a backpack of a couple outfits along with pictures, and the cd Edward made me. I put it on my back and transformed into a wolf then a ran until I got tired. I ended up in Saratoga Springs, New York. I bought a apartment and got the job at Nicole's hotel. I decided I wanted to put the past behind me so I changed my name from Isabella Marie Swan to Annie Tessa Jones. My wavy brown hair wasn't brown anymore. I had now put blonde streaks in it. I have light blue contacts in.

So this is the new me. Annie Jones the girl with dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, lives in Saratoga and works at Nicole's Hotel. I liked the new me. I liked my family. I have been with them for 6 months. Since then I haven't changed into a wolf. I also bought a cell phone.

"Annie?!? Are you in there?" Becca yelled. I jumped and fell off the stole and onto the floor. "Ow." I said. I sat up and rubbed my shoulder. Becca helped me up and said, "What were you think about so hard?" "Nothing." I responded. Becca let it go. I was relieved she did. I knew I would have a bruise there. Suddenly another couple came in. Every time a couple came in holding hands I would try to not go back into the memories. They came up to the desk and the man said, "Hello my name is Fred O'Brien and this is my wife Lynn O'Brien. Can we have a room just for tonight?" I nodded, writing the names down. I grabbed the keys and gave them to them. "Here. Have a good night Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien." I said, forcing a smile.

"What is wrong?" Nicole asked me. "Nothing." I said. Nicole yelled, "It is always nothing, Bella. We just want to help you." I was surprised. Nicole never yells. I felt my anger rising. "It is nothing. Nothing for you to worry about, non of your concern. Nothing anyone could help me with." I yelled back. "Whatever it is you need to face your problems. Until you figure it out you are fired." She yelled. Fired? I am fired. My anger suddenly left and tears came too my eyes and streaked my cheeks. "Nicole." I said. She shook her head looking down. "I'm sorry Annie but until you get things sorted out you cant work here." She said.

Suddenly I felt anger again. Why couldn't anyone accept me the way I was? "No. You know what. I am not coming back. Because nothing will ever be sorted out. I am sorry that I wasn't good enough to work here. I'm sorry that I am so unacceptable. Now just go on with your lives like I never existed." I screamed and felt pain as I said the line that he said. "Annie." Becca whispered. But I couldn't stay my hands were shaking uncontrollably and I knew soon I would transform without my willing. "I'm so sorry." I choked out before I ran.

I ran back to my apartment and then I remembered something Nicole said. 'Whatever it is. You need to face your problems.' Nicole was right about that. I might not face the Cullen's but I should at least be able to go back to my home town. I quickly packed my books, clothes, photographs, and the cd. I gave the keys to the land lord then I transformed and was off.

I made it to Forks about 4 hours later. I couldn't decide whether to go to La Push or Forks. I ended up picking Forks. I found a nice little cottage in the woods. It has 1 bedroom, one and a half baths, a kitchen, and living room. I made sure to decorate it just like I wanted it.

The outside was all log with a little gravel path and a small garden. When you walk in the first thing you see is the living room. It has brown carpet with a set of black furniture and a coffee table and a flat screen television. The kitchen has cabinets made of glass and the floor is hardwood, and the counters are also a gray type of granite. The bathrooms are just bathrooms. My bedroom has a queen sized bed, a side table, a bookshelf, with a comfy little chair. It is beautiful and perfect.

I decided to go out and get a car and maybe change my hair a little. I ended up getting a cherry red motorcycle cruiser. Then a Nolan cherry motorcycle helmet. I also bought some blonde hair dye and brown hair dye. I drove home on my awesome new motorcycle. Instead of brown hair with blonde streaks, I know had blonde hair with blonde streaks and it now went to only my shoulders. I didn't like my hair being too long when I was a wolf.

I then used my cell phone and I made a call that I didn't think I would ever make. I signed up for Forks High School. But not as Isabella Swan but as Annie Jones. I made sure I had all my school supplies and then I put my book bag by the door. I would start school tomorrow. Since tomorrow is October 4 I will have already missed most of the quarter but I shall catch up.

I decided I might as well get to sleep if I want to be ready to face high school tomorrow. Pfft like I will be anyway. This will be hard.

I just didn't know how hard it actually would be.

What did you think? I hope you liked it. Thanks everyone!!!! :]
