Chapter 1

BOV

My name is Bella Denali. I used to be called Isabella, Bella for short, Swan; before I was changed into a vampire.

I don't remember much of my human life. But I do remember that my parents separated when I was young. I also remember deciding to live with Charlie, my father, because Renee, my mom, remarried and wanted to spend time with Phil, her new husband. I decided to move to cold and rainy Forks, Washington.

Forks High School passed uneventfully. I only remember bad friends and annoying guys trying to date me. I only dated one person.

Jacob Black.

I only went out with Jacob to please my dad, but in the end I ended up liking him. We spent a year together; he stood up for me whenever people made fun of me. He kept those annoying guys away from me. Then we both realized we loved each other more like siblings and best friends.

Then came that horrible night. I shuddered at the thought.

After wondering in Alaska for 6 months of solitude and silence, I ran into Kate. She says she was hunting.

Flashback

I was completely confused. "Hunting out here?" She simply replied," Yah"

At that moment I looked into her eyes and noticed they weren't that sickly red as mine were. "Why aren't your eyes the same color as mine?"

She looked at me and chuckled, "Well I don't drink human blood, I drink animal blood. Plus you are a newborn. If you drink animal blood your eyes will look like mine."

"I- I don't know how to-to hunt for ani-animals" I stuttered.

"Don't worry about it, I'll show you. It's not much different from hunting humans." She looked at me curiously.

"What?" I was getting annoyed.

"Why are your eyes pitch black? When was the last time you hunted?"

Oh! Now I get it. "Well… I try not to hunt until I can barely stand it. I can't stand hurting humans."

Kate smiled sweetly and replied, "You should hunt with me and then come back to my house. I'm Kate Denali. The Denali clan is one of the two clans that refrain from human blood. I'm sure you'll fit right in."

"Thanks Kate. I'm Bella…. Swan I guess. That was my human last name and-"I rambled.

"Don't use Swan. Use Denali. I can assure you, you will become a part of our fam-"I didn't allow her to finish her sentence because I had already tackled her. Hugging her like she saved my life! I couldn't contain my squeals.

Flashback End

The only thing that now kept me distracted was Kate, Eleazar, and Carmen. Irina has never liked me and I don't think she has any intention of changing her mind anytime soon. And I'm okay with that.

Tanya was nice, but she seemed fake to me and she never stopped talking about Edward Cullen. From my understanding they were mates, but I never could understand why they never say each other. Apparently I came to the Denali Clan's house right after the Edward and his family left. The Cullens and Denalis are very close; I've met every member of the Cullen family, but Edward never EVER came!

You would think that he would live with us, but he doesn't. I tried to understand it, those little pieces of info I've gotten form Tanya talking about him don't seem right. I don't want to ask because I'm much happier here then wondering around with no one to talk to.

"Bella, Bella! What are you thinking about?"

"Sorry Kate, just thinking about my past." Kate has always been able to sense when I'm sad. She's like my best friend. I love Carmen and Eleazar too, but they always seemed so happy together. I'm jealous I want that kind of bond with someone, same with Kate. That's probably why were so close.

"Well stop thinking about it. The past is the past. Now you're here with us!" Kate exclaimed.

"I know. I know."

"Now, let's get ready for the Cullens visit. We haven't seen all of them together for a year! I mean you remember Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie right?"

"Of course!" How could I forget them? Carlisle was kind and smart. I loved Esme the moment I met her, she became my second mother. Alice is pretty much a ball of energy ready to burst! Jasper's perfect for her, he has some weird way to manipulate emotions. It's the only way she doesn't explode. I only met Rosalie and Emmet once, they seemed like they were forced to be there. They only stayed for two days.

"I'm not sure if Edward will come. He doesn't like to come over."

"Why not? I thought Edward and Tanya are ma-"

"Are you kidding me?" Carmen interjected.

"Huh?" was the only thing I could think of.

"Tanya's in love with Edward, but he hates her." Eleazar said as he strode in and came up next to Carmen and sweetly kissed her cheek.

Tanya stomped in and screamed, "He loves me, he just doesn't want to leave his family and live with me!"

"Whatever", Carmen, Kate, and Eleazar said in unison.

"We need to get ready for their visit." Kate said.

For some strange reason I believed Tanya. The way she defended herself made me want to believe her and Edward were together. If there an argument broke out over this I would support Edward and Tanya. True love should not be held back.

All of a sudden Kate skipped in the room singing "There Heeeeeere!"

I took a deep breath and braced myself for the chaos that was this reunion.
