Chapter 1

Carlisle wanted to speak with Bella one to one. Edward received Carlisle's thoughts and Alice had seen the decision, with a glance the family left the room with Edward more reluctant to leave than the and Carlisle stood silent as they both acknowledged that she had changed but Bella wasn't sorry for what she had become. It had been her destiny to be an immortal and she accepted that fact.

"Bella may I ask about your healing properties, venom from a vampire is lethal and if you had been bitten it should have killed you".

Bella had to admit to herself that she missed how fascinated Carlisle was with the world and anything extraordinary that it contained.

"The venom would have stopped my heart but my heritage as an immortal would have stopped the process and I would have revived, having vampire venom coursing through your veins might have been classified as a violent death due to the excruciating pain you feel before you technically die" she smiled.

Carlisle smiled at the explanation as it answered his question but Bella swore she could see a hint of sadness in Carlisle's stone features.

"Carlisle what's wrong?". Carlisle's golden eyes stared at Bella's dark brown eyes.

"Bella I wanted to apologise to you about what we did, we only thought that we would spare you more pain when we left. We all have missed you since then especially Edward and Alice" he said ever so kindly trying to make sure he was not being too personal. Bella's heart starting to ache thinking about the past, the only downfall to being an immortal was that the past would never disappear like the many wounds she had endured.

"Everyone had left me, E-Edward left me and so did Jacob. I wanted to run away from the pain that was inside me slowly turning me into a hollow shell, I wanted peace" Bella said with sadness in her voice.

"Its alright Bella, I understand how you feel but I'm hoping that you can forgive us for what we did" he said taking Bella's hand.

Bella was momentarily shocked at how cold his hand was until she remembered that vampires were also known as the cold ones. Grabbing Carlisle she hugged him and fought back tears from her eyes, chatting with Carlisle reminded her of Charlie.

"It's ok I never blamed any of you, I was hurt but now I understand, I forgive you" Bella said soothly making sure that Carlisle knew how much she meant it.

Esme was watching the scene from above Carlisle and Bella. She had missed Bella so much and the guilt that she had carried was finally beginning to ease away. Bella didn't know whether she regretted seeing the Cullen family again but she had to admit she was glad that she knew someone in her new life that knew her. Esme walked down to meet Carlisle and Bella, she gave Carlisle a brief glance which Carlisle knew straight away was his cue to leave them to talk.

"What have you been doing for the last century then? You have changed so much since the girl I knew in forks" Esme asked cradling Bella's face so she could have a clear look at this girl who was now a women in Esme's eyes.

"Since becoming an immortal I have met so many people and seen so many new places. I haven't been alone I have had Duncan and Methos, in fact Methos was the one who found me after I had crashed my truck. He helped me, guided me and taught me how to protect myself from other immortals who wanted well to chop my head off" Bella said taking a sip of her coke.

"Oh Bella I'm sorry you have had to kill". Esme had always wanted to protect Bella from ever killing another human.

"I have only ever killed immortals and only if they attacked me first. Methos and Duncan have been amazing to me. I've enjoyed the company of Richie and Joe although unfortunately Joe succumbed to old age and had to leave us behind". Esme looked puzzled.

"Why did Joe succumb to old age, was he immortal or a human". Esme didn't fully understand Bella's world yet but wanted to learn more.

"Joe was a watcher, all immortals are assigned a watcher who must document and monitor them and he was one of the best watchers that could have ever been, right now I'm using his surname Dawson to honour him.".

Esme gazed at Bella in wonder and wished she had been there to see Bella grow into the strong independent women she now saw before her.
