Disclaimer~ I don't own any of the twilight characters but the story line and new characters are my idea.

Chapter 1

75 years have passed since I awoke to a whole new life. I wanted this life when I was with him; after he all I wanted was to die. A lot of people believed I did. 75 years and here I am, I vaguely remember my last days of human life. I was friends with Jacob Black, well we were close, until he left me for Sam's pack. They always leave in the end, even though they saved me.

Bella took a deep breath and jumped from the tree branch she was sitting on, she landed on her feet with grace. She was living in North Dakota at the moment. The coven she now belongs to has a house in the mountains. She started walking home, she knew they were planning on moving again. They had been there going on five years and Bella liked it here. She hated the idea of going to Maine, but they had a routine. They had moved there right after she joined the family. She never liked being to far east, even though they traveled the world every few years. She missed Washington; she missed Forks and her family. She had never gotten to say goodbye to Charlie and Renee. She thought about going back, Charlie's house was hers now had been since he'd died. When he died she remembered getting the news from Jacob, he'd tracked her down up in Canada. She had all the information up in her room. 'Oh Jacob' Bella sighed, she never knew if he'd grown to have a family of his own, if when he died he was buried by his father, or if he'd left the tribe liked he talked about. Then there was the Cullen's, they would have been back and left by now. They were still a painful memory of hers, one that never seemed to diminish with time, one she was learning to live with, and people she learned to live without.

She walked in the back door of the house and there her family sat in the living room. Sara the five foot six beauty with her blonde hair and blue eyes and perfect body. She was one hundred and fifteen years old. Next to her on the couch was her soul mate Ivan, he's six foot two with bright red hair and piercing green eyes and one hundred percent Irish and one hundred and eighty three years old. Then there is Thomas, he's the head of the family, the oldest at five hundred and nine years. He's six foot seven with black hair and brown eyes and would be a perfect tan if he was alive. They all turned to look at her.

"So I have an idea." Bella said resting on the arm of the couch, "why don't we go to Forks instead of Maine." Sara and Ivan turned their gaze on Thomas.

"Why do you want to return there?" Thomas had a couple theory's in mind.

"Well, for one it's home to me, two it's damn near always under clouds, three I have a house there and plus there is plenty to hunt up there, I was reading up on it the other day and they say that there is an over population of wildlife running around." Thomas put up his hand and Bella fell silent, she'd prepared to fight him for this.

"How long have you been looking into this?" Bella looked down and replied,

"Once Jacob came and gave me the paper work I've had the house looked after, I only thought of us going there this last year. I've researched for all information that you might question." Bella finished Thomas nodded to himself she knew that he was upset.

"You waited till you were prepared for an argument against us. Why do you want to return there now. There has to be more reason than that Bella. We've traveled the same route for years and now we're suppose to just divert on a whim. For what?" Thomas started to raise his voice at her.

"Why not Thomas, gives us a new adventure. How can you not get tired of your routine? There is a bigger world out there, and I'm just asking to take a couple years out of forever to be in that town." Bella's temper started rising as well.

"What about the wolves?" Ivan asked stepping next to Thomas, sticking up for his brother, Bella noted not like Thomas couldn't fight his own battles. Bella shoulders stiffened and she didn't move for a moment.

"I know all about how the wolves are and I will go make contact with them. They will not hurt us as long as we respect them by not crossing the border lines. I understand the treaty they have and you do to, I've explained it back when Jacob found me." Bella finished in a firm, I'm not a kid tone.

"Isabella tell us the real reason you want to go, and stop telling us all the facts that we already know about. Why do you really want to go back there? Do you want to see them? Are you hoping that it will be as you left it and they will be there with their arms open waiting for you?" Thomas said in a quite hiss. Bella's anger shot up and threw the roof, he said everything that he knew would hurt her.

"I miss it okay, not them but the town, my house, the memories." Bella then turned and ran to her room they heard her door slam seconds latter. She knew no tears would come to fall but it all hurt the same.

Sara turned to look at Thomas, he let a breath go even though he didn't need to take another one. She shook her head and went towards the stair case.

"Wait Sara, let me go." Thomas said calmly walking past her. "Tomorrow we'll start making the arrangements to go to Forks, we'll need to have the house cleaned."

"She already took care of that, she's been having the house maintained since it became her possession when he died." Sara clarified then turned to the kitchen. Thomas climbed the steps one at a time he's never been good at this.

He walked into the room they shared, Bella was laying across the bed.

"I'm sorry Bella, if it's that important to you we'll go honey." Thomas sat down next to her. She rolled over and looked at him. He brushed her hair out of her face.

"I'm sorry too, just understand that it's not about them, I need to find me." Thomas nodded, leaned down and brushed his lips against her check.
