A/N: Here it is, the sequel! Okay, so this is a few months later than the epilogue in Starting Over.

Chapter 1- Visitor

Bella's POV

It seemed like it was coming at us from all sides. I was still being pursued by both Victoria and the Volturi. Graduation was only a couple of weeks away and we were no closer to finding out who my visitor was. So, Edward and I decided to go spend some time at his house; maybe someone could come up with an idea of what to do. When we walked in the door Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett were waiting for us.

"Edward, I know this comes at an inconvenient time, but there is someone here to see you." Carlisle said. Edward began sniffing intently.

"No..." His eyes got wide, then angry. Suddenly, there was a woman standing at the top of the Cullen's massive staircase. She was dressed rather oddly. For one, she was barefoot. She had on a ripped denim skirt, black leggings, a torn purple t-shirt. Her hair had been bleached blonde and streaked thorough with fluorescent purple. She had it up in two spiky Thumbelina- type buns. She also had on an ill fitting red silk necklace that had a rather large, teardrop shaped ruby. A mocking expression lay on her beautiful face. It was like she was making an effort to look rebellious. Against what, I have no idea. She stood with one hand on the banister, the other on her hip.

"Hello, Edward. Did you miss me?" He pulled me behind him as he slipped into a hunting crouch. "Oh, come now, Edward. You can't still be angry with me." A small growl ripped out of his throat and the woman looked hurt. "Apparently, you can." Unexpectedly, her face brightened. "And you must be Bella!" She seemed to disappear and reappear in front of where Edward and I were standing, vampire for sure. I was instantly suspicious of her; her tone reminded me of Aro. "My, my, my you are a pretty one! Oh, where are my manners? I haven't introduced myself. I'm-"

"Your name is Rosabelle." Edward growled. That was confusing. Why did he cut her off?

"Oh, Rosabelle, schmosabelle. That name is for rivals and enemies. I choose to believe you are neither." She glanced at Edward, which made me look at him, too. His eyes were only slits and I could hear a harsh rumbling, that sounded like the Volvo revving it's engine, coming from inside his chest. Why would that comment upset him so much? It sounded like a compliment to me. "Please," She looked back at me. "Call me Angel." I heard the back door click ever so softly.

"ANGEL!!!!!!!!" Alice screamed. She ran into the room and jumped on Angel, her arms around her neck. Angel spun, flinging Alice's feet outward. Then, she set her down and gave her a big hug.

"Hey there, chickie. What's kickin'?" She laughed. She turned toward Jasper and held out her arms. He walked into them without hesitation. "Jasper!"

"Hello, Angel. I've missed you." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and stepped back to where Alice was.

This happy reunion only made me feel sad and pathetic. Edward's family all loved Angel, even Jasper. And all I do is cause problems. They've risked everything for me and I keep putting them back in danger.

"Rosabelle, can I talk to you?" Edward growled. He still looked furious. I touched his arm, a panicked look on my face. Even though I just met Angel or Rosabelle or whatever, I didn't want him to do something he'd regret. "It's okay. Stay here." I nodded and he disappeared, leaving Angel in the middle of the room. She raised one eyebrow, shrugged, and then sauntered off upstairs taking her time, walking human speed.

EPOV

I waited for what seemed like an eternity for Rosabelle to get up the stairs. She's just torturing me, I'm sure of it. She slowly opened the door and sashayed inside my room. She flopped down on the sofa and half smiled, waiting for me to begin. It was all I could do to stand there, my fists clenched, fuming.

"So, what's new with you?" She said in a mocking tone. "I assume you understand what happened, after I left, from my letter. A smart boy like you should be able to figure it out."

"Why are you here, Rosabelle? You want something, I know you do, what is it?" She had this really innocent look on her face.

"Why whatever do you mean?" I decided to pick her brain for information, I don't have time for this. Edward, I'm shocked! To think that you would stoop to such lows. Reading my mind, tisk tisk. Her half smile had turned into a full blown smirk.

"Rosabelle, I only have one thing to say to you. Bella doesn't know about you. Who you are, what happened between us... I'd like to keep it that way. It would kill her if she knew."

"Funny, I was under the impression she was already dead." That did it. I let out a growl so loud that it reverberated off the walls.

"You can say what you will about me, but you stay away from Bella! She's good and kind and sweet. Everything you're not." It was a low blow but she didn't even look hurt.

"There was once upon a time that you would've said those things about me."

"I prefer not to talk about it."

"Maybe we need to talk about it, Edward! I didn't hear from you for six months!" She yelled. Instantly furious, that temper of hers again. "The only reason I knew you were even alive was because Carlisle called and told me after you got back from your little suicidal escapade."

"Well, what about you? Were you too involved with your royal duties to come save me?" That knocked her back, which was my intention.

"I tried, Edward. I tried so hard." Her voice was softer than ever before. Though pain and anguish tainted it. "The door to my room has five padlocks on it now because I tried to escape so much. Five! And don't even get me started on the windows, they've been welded shut. I just figured out how to escape two days ago." I stared at her incredulously. I shook it off. I don't want to feel sorry for her.

"You still haven't answered my question."

"I'm not planning to." This time she didn't even have a hint of mocking on her face. She was serious.

"Rosabelle, what happened to you?"

"You happened to me, Edward. Like it or leave it." Abruptly, she got up and left. I could only stare after her.

A/N: This next chapter is called Enmity (meaning hatred) for a reason. Angel is not going to go easy on Bella. Friends and family of Bella Swan may want to look away now.

Chapter 2- Enmity

Angel's POV

I stalked down the staircase, quickly this time. I can't quite say I'm fuming, I'm not that angry. But, I am definitely mad. I think it's the perfect time for little Bella and I to get to know each other better. I stopped about 10 steps from the bottom of the stairs and vampire ran the rest of the way, so it appeared I materialized from thin air. Bella jumped when she saw me. Good. She should be scared.

"Oh! Hi there... Angel?" It's not a question, sweetheart, it's my name. I raised one eyebrow and cocked my head. When she didn't continue, I walked past her and flopped onto the couch.

"What's on your mind, Isabel?" I said, letting my accent creep into my voice. Not much, I'd bet. I thought.

"Oh, I was just wondering... have you known the Cullens long?" Chicken. I know what she really wants to ask me and this is not it.

"Yeah, me and Edward, we go way back." She tensed up and I could hear her heart quicken. I smirked at her, hopefully confirming her suspicions.

"How, exactly, do you know Edward?" Her voice was tight. She is quite upset with me. Good. I could hear Edward approaching the stairs. I kept my answer vague, even though that was the last thing I wanted to be right now. I wanted Miss Isabella Swan to know exactly how deep in trouble she is.

"We lived together for a few months."

"I see." Her voice was barely a whisper. Edward had made it down the stairs finally. He gathered Bella into a protective hug and glared at me. I gave him the most innocent look I could muster and shrugged.

"Enough." He said. His voice was stern and angry. I just turned back to the television that I wasn't watching. Edward was speaking in a soothing voice, trying to calm Bella's hysterics. After about 30 seconds, I stood up.

"Well, not that this isn't fun, but I'm gonna go get something to eat." Even though I'm not hungry, I head toward the kitchen. I simply wanted to be out of the room. Bella stopped hyperventilating and looked at me.

"Wait, you're not a vampire?" A confused look on her face. Oh, look, something new. I thought. I'm glad I'm good at mental blockers. Otherwise, Edward would have my head on a silver platter.

"Not quite. Edward will explain it." I chuckled. She turned back to Edward for an explanation. He still looked angry. I threw him a wink before disappearing into the kitchen.

A/N: So, what'd you guys think? Please review, it'll make my day, you'll be my best friend forever, I'll give you cookies, etc. =)
