A/N
This is the first story I've posted to Fanfic and I hope someone likes it at least as much as I did when I thought of it. I have a mini addiction to Bellice stories (I like to call it mini because it makes me feel better but in reality it's actually pretty bad). I came up with this idea after I had finished another A/B story. No idea why but it popped into my head out of nowhere. The characters are very OOC but the Cullen's story lines are almost the same as in the books. I don't plan on repeating their histories if they remain the same, so assume they are the same unless I say different (I'm not rewriting them because it always infuriates me when I have to keep rereading their histories over and over again throughout all the Bellice fictions. I know it, trust me, and if you don't I would suggest reading another story first or possibly buying the books?)
Disclaimer: I don't own the story twilight, never have, but it might happen in the future... Of course if that were to happen I would have to sell it off to someone else. I have no interest in taking credit for what SM wrote. I would say that I wish she hadn't have written it at all but then there would be no Bella and Alice. The world would be a darker place then.
Ch. 1
What if I told you that myths were real? What would you say to me if I let it slip that the myths humans peddle off to their children to scare them into being good weren't really fairytales.
God how I wish they were. If they weren't true then I would have led a normal life. I could have continued to grow old, maybe fallen in love, and then finally found the sweet release of death. How I long for death; "To die, to sleep; to sleep perchance to dream". Yes, I dream of releasing this tired mind from the bounds that the body creates. Do not take my words to heart though; as much as I wish to end the journey of life I would never do so. My life is not a bad one, but at the same time I wish for the life that has a beginning, middle, and an end. Eternity is a longer than most would assume. I grow tired and weary of this life, but it is my burden to bear.
A deep sigh leaves my mouth along with my thoughts. I run my hands through my long brown hair and look into the mirror. Yes, it is my burden but I wouldn't change it. I see the face in the mirror break into a smile. I would never change it but I do grow weary of this world somedays.
"Bella! Are you ready yet?" I can hear Declan's voice coming closer. Good thing I locked the do- "Bella, we have to go!" she yelled as she burst into the door. I frowned deeply at her appearance.
"Dec, you know I love you like a sister right?" She looks at me wearily but she nods anyway. "Having that said, if you ever use your ability to unlock the bathroom again; I will be forced to hunt you down and teach you a lesson. You should know better than to burst in on someone in the restroom. Understood?" With another nod she leaves. She didn't look nearly scared enough for my taste but I think she understood me.
"You're gonna make us late." For the love of all that is holy!
"Pyske! We could run there in 10 seconds if we had the mind to. Learn some patients; you're worse than a fairy." I was irritated now. I walked down to see a very annoyed Pixie in the living room.
"Do not compare me the scum of the earth and you know I hate my Swedish name." I laughed at her anger. I knew the hatred between the fae and the pixies ran deep but I never understood why. Each side thought they were different as could be, and therefore better, but in reality I had never seen a more closely related species; the pixies preferred to be a little more wicked while fairies were almost angel like.
"Yes I know Declan. Shall we be going then?" I gestured toward the door hoping if we began our journey her anger would be slightly less.
"Very well Isabel." I winced at my given name. She wouldn't be forgiving this morning then. She sighed dramatically as she moved past me and out the door. I rolled my eyes at her theatrics.
"Is your luggage in the car already? If you want you can leave it in the trunk or we can check it in at baggage claim..?" She shouldn't have more than one or two bags. After all there would be plenty of clothes being shipped to our new home.
"Yes, it's there. Its small enough to do carry on so there shouldn't be any problems." She was waiting patiently by the driver's side of the car.
What did she think she was doing? Surely she didn't think she would be driving my car. She scoffed at the look on my face. "Please Bella?" the pout she wore could melt a lesser being, but I was not one of those said creatures. She knew she wouldn't have her way when she noticed my smirk.
I laughed when I watched her stomp away to her side. Moving quickly, I was in the driver's seat within a tenth of a second. "You should know better Declan. I drive in my cars, you drive in yours, and we toss a coin for the joint cars." Her scowl only deepened when I began to chuckle. She always acted like the child her body appeared to be, but looks are deceiving. The pixie next to me hadn't been a child in centuries but she persisted to not act her age.
"Whatever Grandma. Can you at least drive at a reasonable speed today? I would like to make our flight." Reasonable speed, I scoffed. I almost never drive under a 100 mph, but she thought it was too slow.
"Child, I will go at the pace I set. I would frighten the humans by going over 120. That's why you don't get to drive in populated places. You're likely to use the sidewalks if someone goes to slow."
"I am not a child."
"You're pouting like one." I muttered under my breath.
"Not everyone is as old and mature as you." Oh how I hated sarcasm when it was used against me.
"Well one day you might grow up and be as great as I." I decided to turn the tables and anger her by taking her words at face value.
"Whatever you say dear sister. Be careful you're slipping again; your speech pattern and accent are coming back." She was right. I was forgetting my façade. That always happened when I wasn't near humans for long period of time. I would soon be returning the world though and I would need to get better about it or the humans would ask questions.
We couldn't have the humans questioning us now could we?
Even though I had millenniums of practice with waiting, something about airplanes made all of that practice disappear. Maybe it was the smell; Like stale air, human anxiety, and unclean fabric. Or it could be the constant sound of the engine and people around me. Declan was different though. It was almost like my patience transferred to her while in airplanes. She was always so calm in the air; this only furthered my irritation.
"How can you be so relaxed?" I hissed in ancient Greek to her. I knew someone overhearing us was unlikely but I didn't appreciate eavesdroppers. She looked calmly back at me; we had been traveling together long before the commercial use of airplanes and she was well aware of my lack of patience for them.
"Bella, listen to your iPod if you're unhappy sitting there doing nothing." Her reply was also in Greek. Of course! How could I have forgotten the magical device? A small smiled appeared on her face when she saw my eyes light up. "It's in the bag I packed for you, Second pocket." She turned back to her magazine while I turned to dig out the best invention ever made.
"Thank you." I whispered as I Turned it on and before my eyes slipped closed I saw her nod.
We were finally off the ghastly machine meant for faster traveling. Walking out of the airport, we searched for Shane. Declan decided to hire him to take up one of her cars from Phoenix to Seattle and meet us at the airport so that we wouldn't have to hire a car to take us to our new home.
"I don't see him anywhere. Can you look for him?" I nodded and closed my eyes and let my mind free. I immediately could hear the thoughts and see the minds of everyone within a hundred miles. I looked for a familiar one and frowned when I couldn't find him. How strange. He's not even within a hundred miles? I pushed my mind out further and decided to focus on the small town he would have been staying until our flight arrived. I finally found him in our new home town. Excitement was the first emotion that registered when I pushed into his mind.
I knew I was invading this humans privacy but my curiously was too strong to resist. What could distract him so much that he couldn't remember to pick us up? My breath caught when I saw what had captured his attention so strongly. I quickly sifted through his memories to see how he ended up in this situation. Apparently he had sleep late and when he stopped to get some coffee hoping it would wake him up some, he had run into this woman.
"Bella?" Declan's voice cut through my surprise at what I had seen. I quickly came back to myself. "Where is he?"
"He's still in Forks. He is currently talking to a vampire."
"There's a vampire in forks?"
"I guess so..." I shouldn't be surprised. Washington isn't very sunny so it would make since for a blood drinker to settle here. This complicates things a bit. I tried not to engage in contact with vampires much manly because of their royalty. The Volturi irked me on more than one level. The thought themselves rightful rulers of an unruly race and there means of doing things angered me. I had come close to losing my temper with them on multiple occasions and almost made the decision to eliminate them on several others. They didn't fear me and it was a very bad idea to not do so.
I was Isabel Valkyrja or in English Isabella Valkyrie. I was the reason for the first feeling of fear ever felt on this earth and I plan to be the last. I've been called many things Gimnir, Ankou, Yamraj, and other such things from every culture. I was not to be tested or played with and the Volturi are not above my rule. Such arrogance will not be tolerated and I will have to visit them soon to make them see the truth of who they are truly dealing with. I felt a cruel smile tug at my lips when I thought of the vampire royalty. Yes, I will teach them that there are greater things to fear then them.
"BELLA!" I was once again pulled out of my thoughts by the small pixie. I turned to her quickly and took stalk of her frustrated expression before raising an eyebrow in question. "I've been trying to get your attention for the last minute."
"I apologize. I was thinking on the problem of the Volturi."
She rolled her eyes at my obvious pleasure in the thought of destroying them. "I know you dislike their arrogance but we need to focus on this vampire first."
"Oh yes the vampire… Well I guess I should do a little searching when we get to our home, yes?"
A/N
Feel free to ask questions about the story. It's a little confusing in the beginning; most things will be cleared up sooner or later, but still feel free to ask. Most of the names that Bella calls herself have a meaning and if you are interested don't hesitate to PM me. Her given name also has a meaning which will be explained further down the road. I know most like reviews and while I don't mind them you don't have to feel pressured like most authors make me feel ;). I would ask if you see in mistakes (I'm sure there are tons) that you let me know.
Don't get me wrong if you go grammar Nazi on me I'll be put out, but I still want to know... I can't think of anything else that is important. Let's review: Ask questions when curious, PMs are cures for confusion, no need to review just put story on alerts and I'll get the drift, and point out mistakes if you see any please. I'll get back to you soon if you PM me; mainly because I check my email a lot because my phone gets upset if I don't. Oh another thing, if you are looking for good Bellice stories I would suggest looking at my favorites (if you aren't looking for good A/B stories than I suggest you check yourself... They are amazing. In truth I just want someone else addicted to them like me.)
