Two years after Breaking Dawn, a vampire stranger meets the Cullens, having a special gift that they all wish to experience. But when it is Bella's turn, it will not be her life that she she's before her…it will be her once possible human life.
The Other Bella Swan
It was two years ago that our life was on the line. As in me, Edward, Renesmee, and the rest of the vampires and shapeshifters I loved dearly.
The Volturi were a group of the oldest vampires, kind of like royalty. They mean to keep the peace amongst humans from to many vampires, but their ideas and strategies make me dislike them greatly. Because of them (mostly their leader Aro) I had to live through hell during my last year as a human. The year I chose to become a vampire.
But now, a long time has gone, and soon my family will have to leave Forks to another area, where we could start over without people getting suspicious of our non-aging.
It will be hard. Jacob Black is the soul mate of my daughter, yet they share no romance for she still seems to be under ten and will not reach appropriate dating age for another three years. There is no doubt Jake will come with us, because to depart from Renesmee is like taking out his heart. It has been easier at first, because Edward says we could still live at our distant house in Forks, as long as we don't make it seem we are still here. But Carlisle says to stay in one place for too long will make it more risky, especially if after another ten years go by and someone from high school would see me and Edward, having not aged a bit.
There aren't many here in anymore. Carlisle and Esme has already left to Canada with Jasper. Alice visits every day, while Rose and Emmett spend the time out in the mountains (doing what I wish to not say) and of course my father Charlie comes ever so often.
The wolf pack in La Push hasn't changed much. The newer younger wolves were ordered to stop phasing for too many wolves to watch is too much. Jared has gone to college with his imprintee, Kim, and Emily and Sam are happily wed expecting their first born. Paul, Collin, and Sam are all that remain of the original pack while Jacob still has the Clearwaters, Embry, and Quil. It seems both Jake's friends will be around for a longer time, since Embry doesn't have a need to grow old and Quil still has some years for his five-year-old soul mate to reach marrying age.
It was the middle of the day when I agreed to go hunting with Edward more up north. I had phoned Alice to meet us with Jasper, and we were to meet in the mountains in search of mountain lions, because it was the perfect season. Rose and Emmett decide to stay home with Renesmee and Jake, where Jacob and Em will watch the football game and Rose will teach Renesmee how to fix a engine in one of the cars.
"Don't be out to late," hollered Jake as Edward and I started to the door at human pace.
"Why does it matter to you?" asked Edward jokingly, "are you going to make out with my daughter." He purposely dragged out the word daughter.
"Ed, you know it's not like that," insisted Jacob, using the nickname Emmett and Jasper has for him. Edward locked eye contact with Jake, trying to read his thoughts in hope to find a slip of Jake imagining a sick thought. But it seemed Jacob was telling the truth, because Edward turned back to the door and started with a full sprint at vampire speed to Canada. With a sigh, I quickly followed.
A cover of clouds hid the sunlight, as usual. Yet the gray tones of the forest and rumble of miles away thunder made me just as happy… as long as Edward is with me though, I wouldn't care if we were in the artic.
After an hour of dodging fallen trees and jumping rivers, we crossed the Canadian border. Through the brush, we came to our central spot, where Alice and Jasper were waiting.
"Bella!" cried out Alice in delight. She jumped into me with a large huge that sent me back a few steps. "How's Renesmee? What's been happening?"
"Alice, I just talked to you on the phone this morning. Plus, you can see what's going on in the future." I informed her when she dropped from me.
"Yeah but Jacob, remember?" I nodded in agreement, but still, can't she see Edward and me when we aren't hanging with Renesmee or Jake?
"Are we ready? I'm parched," joked Jasper as he sniffed the air. Edward agreed, sniffing the air as well. Once his muscles tighten, I knew he caught wind of something juice.
"This one will be fun!" said Alice in pleasure. And she was right, because once we found the group of bears, there was more then a few, but a bunch! We were extremely lucky to stumble on a bunch of them fishing on a waterfall.
"I want the male with the crooked back," stated Jasper who was staring at the bear that I could easily tell was in bad shape from the zigzag of his spine under his mattered fur.
We all agreed on the bears each would take down, but before we could move a centimeter of an inch, Edward froze with shock on his face.
"Edward, what's wrong?" I asked in fear of my love. He shook his head while staring towards the east.
"There's another vampire here," he stated.
"It's ok," Alice spoke with her eyes out of focus from her 'seeing', "he won't harm us. His interested."
"Why?" I asked.
"He heard of our stand up against the Volturi," said Edward. Then he suddenly went ridged. "He is coming to greet us." Then, for some odd reason, Edward glanced at me with… confusion?
"What's wrong?" I asked seriously. He sighed before answering just as the brush on our left rustled.
"He wants to meet you."
