Chapter 1 (Bella's Pov)

She had to see this coming! She could have stopped it but she didn't, so here I am 55 years later forever eighteen. I'm not blaming her for how I ended up like this, for being the cold hard shell of who I was. No I don't, I blame him. She loved me, the whole family did well all but two him and Ro--no I can't say her name, it hurts to much to think about them.

(flashback)

It was cold and rainy, I just moved out of Charlie's and into a small house just out side of Forks. I was on my way home from work, when something moved in the ally, I stopped in my tracks. I took a small step in to the mouth of the ally,

"Hello? Is someone there?" I asked. There was another movement, I took another step then I saw it, the blur of white, the inhuman speed. No, I thought to my self, it can't be, not here, I just started to get over them and they show up in my city. They don't belong here, they left, and when they did the took my love with them. I braced my self and took a few steps in to the ally,

"I know someone is here, just come out." my voice sounded thick with fear and anger. She stepped out of the shadows, her fire red hair blowing in the wind.

"Ahh my dear Bella" her voice was cheerful and sarcastic,

"I didn't really think I was going to find you here, I haven't come across the sent of the Cullen's." as she spoke their name I felt a stab of pain at my heart.

"That's because they left." I replied, taking a step back to the mouth of the ally, but I knew it would do no good.

"Well then why are you here? I thought you were with Edward." When his name came out of her mouth I fell to the cold, wet ground in pain.

"Oh Bella don't worry it will be all over in a bit, you see I had a big plan on how to kill you but I am quite thirsty so it will be fast." With her inhuman speed she was standing over me with her mouth at my throat. She let out a small laugh then I felt her teeth rip into my throat. I closed my eyes and waited for it to be over, just as I was about to drift off into another world, something rammed into Victoria throwing her off of me. Snarls ripped out of the ally, all around me. I heard a scream and something rolled next to me, I tried to look but everything went to black and I screamed his name. It felt like my body was on fire. I kicked and screamed asking who ever saved me to make it stop and to kill me, but he just whispered that everything was going to be ok. He then he told me what I was becoming, but what he didn't know was that I already knew, as soon and he pushed her off of me I knew what I would become. The fire just kept burning and it was not letting up. I asked again for him to kill me, he told me that it would be all over soon, and with that I felt the fire to began to leave my toes and the tips of my fingers. I sighed mentally. Then for what felt like for ever the fire left my legs altogether. Next came my arms, and where the fire left I felt a cool relief, it was like soaking in a bath of cool water when you were sunburned. The last of the fire left my chest and my heart stopped beating, and I opened my eyes. I saw a beautiful man sitting next to me, we were in the woods, I took another look at the man who save my life, he was tall, and slim but he was muscular he had longish curly black hair, he looked like a mix of Jasper and Emmett. When I thought their names it felt like I had the air knocked out of me. He looked down at me with sad eyes. I gasped when I saw that his eyes were gold.
"How? Are you…?" I let my voice trail off.
He smiled "Do you know what I am?" he asked, kindness filled his voice.
"You have no clue how much I know about what you are and what you eat." I said, I sat up as I spoke, I put on a sad smile and said "Bella Swan, and you are?"
"Josh Kirk," his smile got bigger and he spoke

"and just how do you know what I am and for that matter what I eat?" he asked, so I told him all about everything all about them and what they did to me. About how they left and how I knew Victoria, and how he saved me so many months ago. As I told my story anger filled Josh's eyes.
"How could they do that to you, after they said so many times they loved you?" He asked, all kindness left his voice and was replaced with anger and hatred.
"Your guess is as good as mine." I said softly, my voice tinkling like bells in a soft wind.

(end flashback)

There was a soft knock at my door.

"Who is it?" I asked but I already knew it was one of my brothers. After talking to Josh in the woods he took me back to his house on the out side of Seattle with his two brothers, Kevin and Chris. Kevin was the first one I meet. He had sandy blond hair and was very short about 5'5" would be my guess. Chris was next. He has dark brown hair and is about 6'4". Josh, Kevin and Chris are all in a band and was looking for a lead singer, and that's where I came in. So I was now Bella Kirk.

"Its me" Josh said on the other side of the door.
"Come in, tell Kevin and Chris to put down the water guns. They are not that slick!" I yelled at them, I heard two sighs and a snicker.
"Cheater!" Kevin yelled from the hallway as Josh opened the door.
"Just give it up bro, we will never get her, its been what 55 years or so and we have yet to pull a prank on her. We have no hope!" Chris yelled
"Yeah yeah yeah, words words words!" Kevin shot back at him then turned to me.

"We will get you one day, just you wa--" He was cut off by Josh slamming the door in his face.
"Well that's one way to shut him up." I said laughing
Josh smiled and then said

"Are you going to be ok today? It being the day he left 55 years ago?" when he said "he" it came out more of a snarl then a word.
I put on my happy face and said

"Sure will, let's go, show starts in 30 minutes." I got up from my bed and walked to my door with Josh behind me. Kevin and Chris were already in the car. I had a Lime Green Dodge Charger 2069. The boys hated it but it was my baby. I slid into the driver's seat and pulled out of the parking lot at 165 MPH. We were at the bar in no time. We had 15 minutes to kill be for the show started. I could hear the crowd coming in. I closed my eyes and waited, leaning my head on Josh, while Kevin and Chris were sitting on the floor playing some kind of gaming system. Me and Josh were sitting on the couch behind them. Just then the door opened up and Molly came though the door.

"Are you four, Chosen?" She asked.
Kevin got up and walked over to her,

"We sure are, is it time for us to go on?" he asked, we could all hear her heart flutter as it skipped a beat.
"Umm, yes it is." she mumbled. Chris and Josh's laughter broke though the room, the woman look startled and walked out.
"Kevin that's hardly fair." Josh said jumping up next to him quickly.
"Sorry I couldn't stop my self." He laughed out. Chris got up from the floor and we all walked out to the stage.
Molly introduced us, just then I saw a few familiar faces but I couldn't quite make out, whose they were.
"Its show time!" I said so only my brothers could hear as I took the microphone.
