I've taken the some of the plot from Life on Mars (British version of course) and Lost in Austen for this story. I don't know if anyone has done anything like this before…
Isabella Marie Swan was well known because of a book written by Stephenie Meyer called Twilight. She was well known because of the similarities between her and the character Bella Swan.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Isabella Marie Swan and I'm now twenty-two years old. Now my life was absolutely fine before Twilight came out. I was happy with my small group of friends here in Chicago. Now my life changing event happened when the book became very popular so popular that people in my school started to notice me more just because of my name. Yep, I have the same name, same looks as described in the book. My personality is different from the Bella in the book though. I think of myself as a much more of a stronger kind of character. I'm a lot more confident and generally don't let things get to me. At least while people are looking, when they're not it's a different story. Plus I don't have that much of an issue with blood unless it involved needles.
Okay maybe there is a lot more similarities between that Bella Swan and me. Don't get me wrong. I have read Twilight and I fell in love with it and have myself wishing that a world like that could really exist and that I could be apart of it. I think I would be able to handle the Jessica and Lauren that is in Twilight. They're a lot tamer than the kinds of things I have to deal with in Chicago.
I was walking home from another pathetic day at work. I'm studying, ironically enough, English. I want to be an English teacher in High School. So to pay for my collage tuition I have to work. So I live a busy lifestyle. There were a bunch of people running towards me. I moved to the side so I wouldn't be hit and cause an even commotion. Unfortunately for me I was pushed on to the road. I don't remember much after that moment except for a lot of people screaming and telling me to hold on. That was of course before I blacked out.
"Bella, can you hear me?" I vaguely heard a voice calling out my name. I groaned a little at the pain in my head.
"Jake, get Dr. Cullen. She's waking up." I heard the same voice yell. Wait did he just say Dr. Cullen? "Bells, wake up sweetheart!"
I slowly opened my eyes and closed them immediately due to the bright lights of the hospital. I tried opening again and this time got a little further. I looked around and saw a man hovering slightly over me. He had black hair and a thick moustache above his upper lip. He was also dressed in a police uniform. I tried sitting up.
"Whoa, not so fast," said the doctor. He had blonde hair and his skin was peculiar cold when he took hold of my arms and helped me sit up.
I looked around in confusion taking in my surroundings. I didn't know what was going on or really how I ended up here.
"Where am I?" I croaked out.
"You're in Forks General Hospital. I'm Doctor Cullen. I'll be taking care of you while you are here," he said slowly. This was too much to think of. There was no way that I was in Forks with a Doctor Cullen. It's like I was taken into Twilight.
"Wh-who are you?" I said indicating to that man that with the police uniform. He gave me a sort of hurt look. I looked at both him and Doctor Cullen for answers.
"Bella, that's Charlie. He's your father," Carlisle said slowly. He looked at Charlie and indicated to him to take a walk outside. I still looked around confused. My head was hurting a little bit and I was feeling very tired and weak. A short amount of time had passed when Doctor Cullen returned with Charlie quietly following behind.
"Well Bella, Charlie is going to talk to you about your life to see if that will jog your memory a bit. You're suffering from a case of amnesia. Do you want someone to be here with you and Charlie?" I shook my head indicating I was okay with staying with Charlie alone. He was chief of police after all.
"So, umm. Where do you me to start?" Charlie asked nervously.
"The beginning?" I asked unsure.
"Well, you're Isabella Marie Swan. You were born September 13, 1990. Your mother is Renee who just remarried. Umm…you only just arrived in Forks yesterday. Do you still want to start school tomorrow?"
"Umm, I think that would be okay. What year is it?" Stupid question to ask but I really had to know every before I had to face whatever I was in.
"2007," he said uncertainly.
"So I'm seventeen." I said more to myself. I've not only arrived in a different story but I'm also five years younger. "Why am I in hospital?"
"Well you went for a walk and hit your head pretty hard. Edward Cullen, he's Dr. Cullen's son, found you and brought you in."
Edward Cullen? The same vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight, I really don't know what I am going to do now but I suppose I can just go with what is happening. Charlie still sat there looking at me with an expression of concern. I felt sorry for the guy. I obviously looked like Bella, but I was a completely different Bella to the one he knew. Dr. Cullen came back inside he really did look like how I had imagined him from the book.
"Okay Bella. Looks like everything is okay with you. You'll probably only have a mild headache but a small amount of pain killer can help with that. So you're okay to go. Charlie will be taking you home. Is that alright with you?" Dr. Cullen asked me.
"Yeah, that will be fine," I said quietly.
Charlie had filled out the necessary paperwork for me to leave the hospital and he thanked Dr. Cullen for his help and told him to pass the message on to Edward. Edward has already met me and I was unconscious for it. That is a bit of a bummer. It was a very short drive to the house I was now to call home. There was a truck outside of the house. I smiled at it. Could this be the famous truck that Bella fell in love with? Charlie smiled when he saw my face light up.
"Yep, that's yours. Got it for you yesterday. You were just as happy as you are now," Charlie said to me.
As soon as Charlie stopped I ran towards the truck and inspected it. It was even better seeing it in person then just imagining it in the book. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a secret fan of Twilight. I opened the door and sat inside. It smelled just the same, like tobacco. I finally got out of the truck and followed Charlie inside. It was a small little house. Comfortable. I walked upstairs to where I though my room was it was reasonable and quite purple.
We had dinner at the diner that night. Charlie didn't want me to cook for him since it was the first night there and I just got back from the hospital. I hadn't talked to Renee yet and I really didn't know what to say. I didn't' really know any of the people here. It was very awkward yet wonderful all at the same time. We went home that night so I could get some sleep to get ready for my first day at Forks High School. If it was anything like the book then this should be very interesting.
So what do you think?
For those of you that are following Finding Mum, I haven't finished with it yet! Just a small writer's block but hopefully I should have a chapter up shortly.
