My first story! Please read and review!
Disclaimer: All belongs to Stephanie Meyer. Except Edward. HE'S MINE!!! Just kidding :P
Okay, so a little summary of what has happened before now: instead of Laurent in the clearing in New Moon, it was Victoria. She had tried to kill Bella but one of the Volturi, who had been on Victoria's trail, stopped her before she succeeded. Bella turned into a vampire and went to the Volturi. She didn't want to but didn't have a choice- where else could she go? Unlike some vampires, who forget lots of their human lives, Bella remembers everything, especially Edward.
Bella's POV
Forks, Washington, I thought, as the private jet touched down on the runway. The rain was already streaming down the small plane window, making the view outside blurry and distorted. I wasn't sure why I had missed Forks so much. I had hated all the green trees and endless rain when I was human. Why had I decided I wanted to come back? I tried to tell myself I had no idea. But I was just fooling myself. I knew why Forks was so special to me. Him. He had changed my life here, and no matter how many times I tried to deny it, and was still unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
"Come on Bella!" Alec called me from the front of the jet. "Let's go!"
I stood up gracefully, no longer the clumsy human I once was. I followed the Jane and Alec off the plane. We gathered our luggage and I stepped outside into the small town of Forks for the first time in 56 years. Alec insisted the first thing we do is buy a new car. The Volturi had no shortage of money, so each of us was free to pick any car in the lot. Jane chose a pink Maserati; it was girly, but still cool, which was Jane's style. Alec picked the most ostentatious car he could find: a bright yellow Ferrari Enzo. I had trouble finding a good car for me. I had noticed an Aston Martin in the lot, but had quickly looked away. I didn't want to even think about that; it would bring on a flood of memories and I would probably start sobbing. And vampires don't cry.
In the end, I picked a bronzy-orange Pontiac Solstice. It was small and cute and it felt great to drive. We sped away in our cars after we paid, and had fun racing each other on the highway. Eventually it started to rain harder, and Jane was afraid of getting her new pretty pink car dirty so we decided to drive to our new home.
I had missed Forks so much! We drove past Forks High School, which we would be attending in two days, and all the memories came back to me. I thought about Mike Newton and Jessica Stanley and Angela Weber. I wondered where they were now. They would be over 70 years old! The thought was crazy. For a moment I felt a pang of sadness at the thought of them leading normal, human lives while I was stuck at 17 forever. We also passed Charlie's house: my old house. I wanted to stop, to see who was living there now but Alec and Jane wouldn't let me. They had strict orders from Aro to not let me get in touch with my old life too much. And I remembered Charlie, my father. He had died 2 years after I left. I hated myself for leaving him. As much as they told me it wasn't my fault, I felt responsible for his death. He had died of a heart attack, but I think he died of sadness. I had disappeared without a trace and had never come back until now. But now it was too late.
Victoria had turned me into a vampire. I had been taken to the Volturi and have lived with them since then. As much as I disagree with some of the things the Volturi does (drink human blood, for example) I am eternally grateful to them for taking me in when I had no other place to go. Aro had told me they had abandoned me. The Cullens. It was hard to even think about them. He said they left me, and would never come back. He told me the Volturi was my real family. I believed him, but I didn't hate the Cullens. How could I? I loved them, even though I knew I'd never see them again. For 56 years I'd been trained to be mad at what they'd done to me, but the training didn't really work. I'd wanted to look them up but Aro refused. As I said before, he had very strict rules. I was not allowed to look for the Cullens or anyone I had known when I was human. Even Charlie, my own father. He had done it to protect me, but it just made me yearn for them more. I sighed. Sometimes I loathed myself. I had everything I needed: a loving family who cares for me, an endless supply of money, perfect looks, cars, houses... so why wasn't I completely happy? I even had perfect boyfriend who loves me: Alec.
And I love him too. I said to myself. But the little nagging part of myself knew this wasn't completely true.
We arrived at our beautiful new house within 20 minutes. Aro had bought it for us online. This was Aro's birthday gift to me. I didn't turn older, but September 13th was technically still my birthday. After 56 years with the Volturi and no contact with anyone from my human life, Aro let me come back to Forks for a year. I had been begging him for month, and finally, he relented. Not without rules though: if anyone remembered Isabella Swan and suspected I was her, we go back to Italy. If I see anyone I used to know from my human life, we go back to Italy. And I only had one year before I had to go back so I planned to make the most of it. Jane and Alec wanted to come with me, so we planned to buy a house and live in it together. We were going to go to school and pretend to be humans. Aro had been concerned about the fact that Alec and Jane weren't "vegetarians" as I called it, but we had decided they would try to survive on animal blood and once a week they would go to Seattle or some other major city to hunt. I was always trying to get other members of the Volturi to convert to "vegetarianism" but they wouldn't have it. Jane and Alec thought it was absolutely disgusting, but I got them to agree to try to live with it for just one year. Besides, they'd get a treat once a week when they got human blood. I refused to drink human blood. Aro hated this because I had got the idea from the Cullens, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Our house was amazing. It had four floors: the basement, where we had a sound studio with every instrument imaginable for Alec. He had had his most prized possession, his piano, shipped from Italy. Alec loved piano. He was amazing at it, and wrote me many songs, but none of them compared to the one he had written me. On the main floor, we had a kitchen that we never would use, a dining room and huge TV room. We had a enormous flat screen that took up an entire wall and every single video game imaginable: another of Alec's obsessions. The third floor had Alec's room and the study. And the top floor was where my room and Jane's room were. Jane's room was pink and fluffy, with pink walls, pink bed and a creamy white vanity. Her makeup products were already categorized and her closet was already stuffed with all her frilly dresses and short miniskirts. My room was across from Jane's. It was big and spacious, with a white shaggy rug in the centre, wintery green walls and deep purple curtains. My favorite part was the balcony. It had a table and chairs and had the most amazing view of the forest and ocean. I unpacked quickly and then just sat on the balcony, staring out into the trees.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
So that's the first chapter. Hope you liked it! Review and tell me what you think! I'll try to update soon.
PICTURES OF THE CAR'S ON MY PROFILE.
I realize Bella never flies straight to Forks- she always lands in Port Angeles. But this is the Volturi private jet and in this story they can land wherever they want. They're cool like that.
I also realize Alec and Jane might look to young for highschool (didn't they get changed when they were 14 or something?) but pretend they look 17, okay?
You'll have to tell me what you think about the cars. I don't know cars very well, so I just put down some cars I think look cool. I don't know how realistic it is to find these cars in small town Forks but... oh well, it's a story Tell me if you think they're good.
I'm basing Alec's description on Cameron Bright, who's going to play him in New Moon. Link to pictures of him on my profile.
Please review!!
