Summary

It's been 10 years since Edward left Bella in the forest. Bella has been changed but things in general haven't changed much in the world but this story is set in England for a bit of change!! Bella has made some new friends. This is all set in Bella's point of view.

"Bella!!!! Purrrlease!!! Will you stop doing that! You can't just start a sentence and just…. well…. float off!!" Ben threw his hands in the air and flopped on the chair. Ben is my bestest of male friends ever. Like in the whole world. And what's even better…. He's gay!!! He will never ever have feelings for me so our friendship will never go sour! Ever since that dreadful evening 10years ago Ben has been my rock. Never judging but always pushing.

"Ben, you know I hate talking about the past and no matter how hard you try and pull it out of me I'm just not ready to talk about it. I daren't even think about it let alone voice it... it still hurts" I said as I sat on the edge of my overly too big – a – bed for my dorm room.

Okay I'm a vampire living at University of Bedfordshire in a little tiny town in the middle of England and here I found 4 of the most amazing people (well vampires) I've known this side of my undead life. I came over here shortly after that evil evening 10 years ago, explaining to Charlie that I had to get away from Forks, well as far away from the USA as possible and amazingly he understood. At first I travelled. I've seen most of England now and I spent a quality few years in France and now in here in my dorm with Ben who is trying so hard to get my past out of me. He's been trying for the last… well since I've known him. But even though he pushes he knows when to stop.

As for the other three vampires well there's Elizabeth and Lee Jones twins and Tamika Smith. Lizzie and Lee are real twins and were both changed at the tender age of 18 about 90 years ago. They were born in WW2 and were in the London bombings. They were both badly burnt and weren't going to make it alive and as far as they can remember a doctor changed them. As for Tamika she doesn't really remember how she was made but has never complained or really wondered. And then there's Ben. Well he was what we would call a fairly young vampire only 20 odd years undead. He was changed one night when he was out with his friends; he left early and was dragged into an ally and changed.

"Bells… earth to Bella!!! Mmph Bella please concentrate!" Ben said getting rather agitated at me. "What… sorry." I shifted my position so I was lying on my belly on my bed. Ben had given up on trying to get the past out of me and had set up my sociology books up in front of me.

"Ok look are you even going to bother trying to study or should we just give up and go out.. I heard its student night in town." Ben was still sat in the chair but had his hands under his chin leaning on the desk facing me. His dark short brown hair was messing and his piercing green eyes just boring into my forehead. " Well… I'm really not in the mood to stick my nose in a book… yea why not." Ben squealed and jumped up

"You ring the other see where they are, I'm getting your outfit ready." Ben reminded me of a male version of Alice sometimes. Ouch that hurt thinking of any of them hurt. I flipped my phone out of my pocket and dialled Elizabeth's number.

"Hey Bella! How are you?" Elizabeth's musical voice sang down the phone.

"Hey good ta. Me and Ben were wondering what you were up to and whether you wanted to come town?" I asked as I watched Ben pull clothes out of my wardrobe and shake his head. "So need to go shopping bells" he murmured as his put them back.

"We've just got back from Luton. Yea why not? We'll come get you" Elizabeth said as I heard an engine come to life in the background.

"Ok see you soon bye" I replied and put the phone down.

"They're going to come get us. Ben please stop looking at me like that you know I don't do clothes if it fits I buy!" He was looking at me as if I'd made my own clothes.

"Isabella Swan if it is the last thing I do on this earth I will have you dressing properly. How will anyone ever see your gorgeous body if all you do is cover it with rags!" He sounds so much like Alice!

"Bella what's wrong? Hunni I didn't mean it!" Ben came rushing over to me and put his arms around me. Obviously my face betrayed me again. I could feel the tears welling.

"It's nothing just nothing. Found anything suitable?" I took a deep breath and instantly felt dizzy. Ben just looked at me with a disapproving look.

"Bella you shouldn't bottle it up like that. I know we're vampires but we still have breakdowns ya know and you are bee lining for one." He stood up and went back to the wardrobe.

"I think I can just about make something suitable" He pulled out my dark denim skinny leg jeans, a white long sleeve thin top and black vest.

"As for shoes I suppose you can wear these but I amgetting you a new pair soon." He was holding my favourite pair of black riding boots they are so comfortable. I looked at him and smiled "What would I do with out you Ben?"

"You'd be the most smelliest undressed vampire ever!" he said with the biggest grin on his face and it was infectious because I couldn't help but smile. I got up and got dressed.

"Well at least you know how to pick underwear" Ben retorted as he changed in to skinny leg jeans a white t-shirt and a grey waistcoat.

"Well the one rule I do know is they have to match" We both laughed and changed. As we were doing our hair (me my make-up) there was a knock at the door. Ben went to open it and there stood my other three favourite vampires.

"Hey hey people!" Tamika came running in giving us both hugs. Lizzie and Lee walked in after her looking stunning as usual. Tamika had gorgeous chocolate brown skin that seemed to sparkly even in the dark her face was of a goddess that men literally tripped over just to get a glimpse of. Lizzie and her stunning blonde hair blue eyed model looked like she'd just walked off the cover of vogue. And Lee well Lee was a male swimsuit model who was studying law. (Really) his matching blonde hair blue eyed gorgeousness was much like his sisters. All stunningly dressed as if they were off to fancy nightclub in London instead of a small town with a maximum of 4 nightclubs!

"Who's ready to party!" Tamika squealed literally bouncing off the walls

"Who gave her sugar?" Ben asked as he smiled watching her bounce.

"Hunni I've been trying to get Bella out for ages… I'm excited!" She said as she squeezed his shoulders.

"Ok let's go before she changes her mind!" Lee smiled as he put his arm round me. "You ok?" he whispered in my ear as he gave me a gentle squeeze. I nodded and smiled

"Let's go peeps!" I said smiling for the first time in what seemed like years.

As we walked to the car park an odd feeling came over me. A feeling I hadn't had in nearly 10years. I had butterflies in my stomach

"Bells you good?" Lizzie asked me as we walked to her car.

"Yea just nervous ya know. It's been a long time since I've felt good about going out." I smiled as she slowed to walk with me.

"Babe I dunno what happened to you but all I'm going to say is that no matter who it was or what happened… Time does heal wounds. It just well takes time. He must have meant a lot for you to still doubt your self" Lizze put her arm through mine. She was so beautiful it made jealous.

"I know I'm just really glad I found you guys or who knows where I would be right now" broken and in a hole under the earth were know one would ever find you. I thought to myself it hurt so much just to think of the possibilities of could have been

"Well that's why you found us!" She smiled radiantly the car park around us seemed to light up.

"Lizzie it is cold our here" Lee said faking a shivering effect

"Oh hush, and get in, hey Bells you wanna drive?" Lizzie rattled her car keys at me. At that point Lee jumped out of the car.

"Hold on how come she gets to drive!?!" he looked honestly hurt

"Because she knows the speed limit and is a good driver!!" Lizzie replied sarcastically. She smiled at me as she threw me the keys. Her shiny new Bentley Continental GTC Convertible stood out like a sore thumb amongst the corsa's nova's and ford fiesta's that scattered the car park.

"Lizzie you really shouldn't bring this here… people will get jealous" Ben said as we all buckled in.

"Yea but its dark and I like it… it's purrty" she giggled in response. I turned the engine on and smiled to myself the power of this car was gorgeous. As we drove down the embankment heads turned and people stopped walking just to look. I smiled as I drove into a secure car park and parked the car.

"Ok where to first?" I asked as I unbuckled myself.

"How about that new club on the Broadway? Stance?" Ben asked as he looked at his hair from the back in the rear view mirror

"Yea I heard it's good" Tamika said flicking a stray hair.

"Ok off we go" Lizzie said getting out of the car.

Walking down the high street was fun. People just stopped walking and turned toi look at us as we walked down the sidewalk. Blokes whistled and girls glared Ben loved the attention as well as Lizzie. We soon made it to the Broadway and the new club.

"Huh seems like opening night" I said as I looked at the queue. The butterflies seemed to turn into small birds as they fluttered in my stomach. The other just seemed to walk straight on through I stood there thinking well that doesn't seem right. How come we walk through? Ben came back out and seemed to read my mind

"Vampires own the place, we get automatic VIP status" his smile could not have been big enough. I so don't like the sound of that! The birds were now eagles as they tried to break free from my stomach

"Ben I.. I can't go in there." I started to back away from the club

"Bella of course you can. What's wrong? Bella?" Ben tried to clam me but I had to get away. Why are you doing this? You don't know who they are. Exactly. I don't know who they are. They could be anyone. It's not going to be them. Here!! In Deadford? I don't think so! Mmm. I stood in the street looking at the club. I closed my eyes.

"Bella babe.. Come on. If anything happens we'll go somewhere else ok promise." Lizzie had come out. She held my shoulders looking at me. I took deep breaths and opened my eyes.

"Ok." I opened my eyes and exhaled. I straightened my shoulder and put a smile on my face. Lizzie let go of my shoulders and took my hand. We walked passed the bouncer who nodded as we passed. The scent hit me like a brick wall. Vampires and humans mingled together. All five of us were 'Vegetarians' so we could handle the scent but I had gotten used to Ben, Tamika, Lizzie and Lee's scent to new vampires stung my nose.

"Whoa." I gasped as I walked through the doors. The place was completely black all the décor. The tables and booths were red and the lighting was minimal.

"how do humans see?" I wondered to myself

"They don't, that's the good bit" a luring voice sang from behind me. I span on the spot almost taking Lizzie to the floor.

"eh sorry you scared me" I tried to steady myself and Lizzie at the same time.

"That's ok. Welcome to stance I hope you enjoy your evening. Its free bar for our friends" she smiled and winked at me. Lizzie seemed to take a liking to the gentleman where as he creeped me out. Lizzie bee lined for him giving him her winning smile. I weakly smiled and walked over to the bar leaving Lizze with the creepy guy and head for Ben. He stood at the bar ordering the drink. The music played softly in the background until about an hour later when it turned up a few notches. Looking at Lee surrounded by less beautiful women I decided a walk to the garden was needed.

As I exited the club, a deep breath welcomed the cool breeze. Even though Bedford had its dull moments sometimes it was beautiful in its own right. I took at seat in the corner with my back to the club. I could hear screaming and applause as someone started to talk over the mike. A scent that I knew all to well rushed over me and I turned slowly

"Bella"

For a first in vampire history.. I fainted.
