Bella's POV

I was running through the woods, laughing as Alice tried to catch me. I felt elated and free. It was a especially sunny day today so we were, avoiding people. I had never felt so happy. Edward and I were together and for once no one was trying to kill us

Suddenly out of nowhere Alice was next to me. " Got you" she cried as excitable as ever. "Race you home!" I yelled running off. " Not fair." I heard her yell before I was gone to far to hear. I laughed, making it harder for me to run. My skin started to tingle and everything I saw suddenly went blue and froze. Then my feet were ripped of the ground and it felt like I was falling. Everything went black, yet it still felt like I was falling. I started to panic then I heard Alice scream "BELLA"

"Ooph" I said air escaping me lungs as I landed with a hard crash onto the hard wooden floor. Wait! Did I just say wooden floor? I asked myself confused. I gradually opened my eyes and looked around. I was lying on the floor of my old room in Phoenix with my bed sheets tangled round me legs. How did I get here? Is this a dream or what? I untangled myself and slowly got up. " Bells are you okay!!!" I heard my mum yell up the stairs. My mum I hadn't heard her voice in years! " Yes!" I heard a human voice call down to her behind me… my voice. How I hadn't noticed, smelt them before was beyond me. Slowly I turned around and came face to face with, well… me! Our eyes met her chocolate brown and my topaz ones . "I fell off my bed, that's all!" she yelled her eyes never leaving my face. With my vampire enhance ears I could here her laugh quietly to herself. I glanced around my room again and this time noted all the boxes and the fact that the room was practically bare. I spotted a calendar on my wall and with my sharp eyes took in the date, it was the day before I moved to forks!

"Who are you?" my voice brought my attention back to her, me. God this is confusing. I thought to myself. "Where did you come from?" she continued. I knew she wouldn't give up, I was always stubborn. A thought flashed though my head was this real even? slowly so as not to startle her I reached my hand forward and closed it round her warm, soft wrist. As I did this I felt something change. Our eyes met once more and then there was a bright blinding white light. That seemed to encompass the whole room, every crack ever corner. Then it was over and suddenly I wasn't looking at me anymore and I was facing the door. Frantically I looked around. where was she? Then memories I had never had started to filter into my brain. Memories of me, her…. Bella. I could see both points of views since I first landed in this room. But there wasn't two of us in her… my head just one, just me. What did I look like, was I human again? I certainly didn't feel it.

I ran into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, I still looked like a vampire, with topaz eyes and extremely pallid skin. This had to be a dream. I thought confidently . Then I remembered the blue light and Alice's scream and suddenly I wasn't so confident. I would play along I thought. I concentrated hard and managed to make my features more like they used to be when I was human, I even think I managed to change my scent a bit. I bit my lip and went downstairs to see if I had succeeded and what on earth was going on.

"Hi honey" Renée said smiling at me. I let out a sigh of relief, I had at least managed to look human. " Are you sure you don't want to stay Bella?" she asked looking at me sadly.

"I'm sure" I said, with sincerity that I hadn't had the first time. She nodded sadly and then said in a falsely cheery voice " Okay come on then lets go" We walked outside the house, me carrying the stuff I was taking with me; the rest was being sent there after me.

The car journey was fairly silent and uneventful with mum asking me again and again if this is what I really wanted. Before I knew it we were at the airport saying goodbye. "Bella… You don't have to go" she said again looking at me worried.

" I want to go" I answered truthfully.

" Tell Charlie I say hi." she said finally after a long pause finally excepting I was going.

"I will."

"I'll see you soon" she promised " you can visit and I'll be here if you need me.." she trailed off tears forming in her wide, brown eyes. " don't worry mum.. I love you" We hugged for several minutes before it was time to go. Then I was on the plan, flying home to Forks.
