Not your normal family
A/N:This is my first try at writing fanfiction, but i'll try to keep my story interesting and update frequently. I'm trying out a story that just popped into my head, I will be switching POV's and try to give the characters justice. Sorry in advance if some of the feel out of character. Wish me luck!
Italics-Thoughts
Chapter 1
1933 NY
The cold creeped up my skin as my vision started to darken, laughter surrounded me while my body was forced into the ground. This was not how my life was supposed to be, I felt my body growing colder as well as my hatred that the last sound I would hear was from my attacker. Just as I was about to succumb to the darkness I heard the most angelic voice scream out in horror.
"Mom!"
Bella POV
Bella was practically able to feel her life slipping away as she watched the man fix his clothes for what felt like the tenth time. Honestly all he had to do was ring the doorbell it's not like he was going into battle.The man straightened his shoulders and emitted an aura of confidence as he brought his hand up to ring the doorbell, only to drop it. I let out a quiet groan when once again the man stepped back from the door."You'll thank me later." Bella moved her hand outward toward the door and not a second later the doorbell rang out through the house. Her irritation grew as the pair on the porch made small talk all they had to do was leave the house and I could go.
Watching the car drive off Bella got to her feet and walked up to the house. Grabbing the door handle she focused on the energy around the door until a small click was heard. Here goes nothing I suppose. Get in get out, no errors. Looking around the house Bella could see what appeared to be a normal american household for a single woman. There was not a single object out of place as Bella went through every room, searching every picture. After two hours of searching Bella lost her patience and started to goad her target."Come on out! I won't hurt you if you choose to leave this house. I won't let the woman who lives here be your snack!" Bella's voice echoed inside the house. Slowly putting on her gloves Bella turned to look at the top of the stairs where a figure stared down at her with cold dead eyes. With Bella using her enhanced eyesight she was able to clearly see the figure's body which was not a pretty sight. It's skin looked like it would belong to a dead carcass was peeling off even if the figure wasn't moving showing off all of the veins that were in it's body, grey cat-like eyes peeked out from it's rotting eyelids and torn cloth was hanging from it's pointed horns. Bella was able to see through it's hands revealing the purple liquid that flowed through the veins when the creature clenched it's talons.
"This my home…. woman is snack..kill you..leave." The creature spoke with it's broken english, but all Bella heard was a rejection to her offer. I was hoping this would have been an easy task. " I gave you a chance to live, should've taken it." Bella shook her head while the creature lunged at her with it's talons stretched out. Bella dodged it's attempt and stretched her palm out at the creature and with one word destroyed it."Fire." Bella smirked at the creature who was withering in the center of a blue fire that only seemed to be affecting ashes rose from the ground and disappeared without a sound. Running a hand through her hair Bella walked out the door not once looking back at the car that arrived in the driveway. After walking into the forest Bella stretched her back allowing her silver/grey wings to uncurl, reaching ten feet on her sides. Bella looked at her wings with a solemn look. I guess it was too much too hope that a lower class demon could change their colour. With a sigh Bella flew high into the sky until she couldn't be seen by anyone's wandering amount of time Bella spent just hovering in the air staring at the moon was unclear, but as she turned to her right the sun was there,another day, another unsuccessful day.
Bella started to descend so she was able to see the houses aligned together and the children playing in the in the landed in a tree and her wings disappeared from her back with only a grunt escaping her off the branch Bella started to walk towards her house. "Maybe I'll travel the world again…there are probably stronger demons in Europe, and I could go climbㅡ hmmpp!" Bella was not expecting the ground to greet her so early in the morning, but hey at least someone was happy to see her, Bella sat up meeting a pair of brown eyes that reflected her own eyes. "Are you okay miss?" The little girl's voice still held that childish tone even if she looked to be about six, but there was something that made Bella's wings burn. The girl was about 4ft with golden locks in a french braid accompanied with flowers wearing what looked to be a standard school uniform consisting of a blazer and skirt."Yeah, I'm okay just tripped over my feet is all." Bella met the girl's eyes and gave a small smile. "If you're okay do you want to play on the swings with me, my mom is busy." Frowning Bella looked around the park for someone who resembles the girl but came up empty "Maybe another time why don't we go find your mom I have a question to ask." Holding the little girl's hand they walked past groups of children, some of them stopped to wave at the little girl but continued their game, Bella glanced at her and spoke softly even with all the loud noise the children were causing. "Why is an upper class demon hanging around children in human form? If you're going to try and eat them don't bother because I will destroy you before you get close to them." The little girl didn't spare Bella a glance but a sad smile graced her face and she squeezed Bella's hand. The pair walked in complete silence as they passed a few more kids who also gave their greetings until they reached the entrance into the park.
Letting their hands dropped the little girl spun to face Bella and with a determined look in her eyes spoke with confidence. " I would never harm any human who has done nothing wrong. You asked why I am in my human form, it's so the children can see me. If you know what I am then you know that human's won't be able to see me if I was in my true form." With every word Bella's eyebrows rose and her mouth started to drop. " I just wanted to play with other children, It gets lonely not being seen so I transformed. I don't even eat humans I eat the other demons that try to harm anyone who enters the park. So please, I don't want a fight..I mean no harm, truly." Surprised at the little girls rant Bella felt a bubble of laughter from her throat and started to laugh holding her stomach earning her a few stares from pedestrians and a glare from the little girl. "Why are you laughing at me." A pout formed on the child's face just as Bella got her bearings straight. An upper class demon fond of humans, this one is new. I guess this means I can leave her alone. Bella gave the girl a bright smile and rubbed her head affectionately, like a little sister. " Pardon me, I didn't mean to laugh it's just amusing that a demon of your standing is interested in humans. Especially children." The girl's response was a bright blush covering her cheeks. Glancing at her watch Bella saw that she had a few hours to spare, "If the offer still stands I would love to play with you. Also my name's Bella what's your name?" Smiling at the offer the little girl nodded her head and headed towards the swings. "Celeste."
After hours of playing with Celeste Bella decided she had to go back to Renee before she got worried. "Bella wait! You're leaving tomorrow right? To live with your dad." Bella nodded her head as the pair once again headed to the park's entrance. "Yup. I'm moving to Forks, Washington. Sorry I won't be able to play with you anymore, but hey! you have all eternity to play with the children." Seeing the sad look in Celeste's eyes bella gave her a grin and walked with Celeste on her back. " Why are your wings grey?" Bella stopped walking, stopped breathing, and tried to come up with a believable excuse. Deciding that the partial truth would be better than a lie Bella continued to walk and spoke in a whisper. " I disobeyed the rules and tried to intervene in a human's life so my white wings were turned black as punishment. I have to defeat a number of strong demons to regain their original colour." Celeste looked at Bella with understanding and slid off her back to hold her hand as they reached the entrance. " You'll get your wings back and when you do come see me again so I can tell you I told you so, promise." My heart clenched at the idea of my original wings, but I gave a small smile and agreed to the promise. Turning my back on Celeste I headed towards Renee's house until… " Who was the human you intervened for?" Looking back Celeste's hand was in mid-wave when she posed her question, eyes filled with curiosity Bella decided again to be honest.
"My mother." Reaching Renee's house Bella went to sleep after greeting Renee preparing for her six hour flight to forks. Even if Charlie's not my dad he did adopt me so maybe I'll give him the title instead of calling him by his name. Rolling to her side Bella stared at her watch which held the number 768 in scarlet red lining. Just a few more demons. Bella closed her eyes and with a smile on her face went to sleep. My white wings huh, I wonder what demons I'll see in Forks.
