Izzy's Point of View

I guess I can say that I missed Forks.

I was thirteen when I ran away. It took weeks until I met this satyr, who happily escorted me to camp. I'd been at camp for around three years. And I almost died in between those three years. I lost friends during the war lat year, and I'm still trying to get over their deaths.

Anyway. Yeah, I missed Forks. My friends and my mom, to be specific. There is no way in Hades will I ever say that I missed my step-dad and his daughter. His demon daughter was the reason I ran away in the first place.

Mandy, my best friend, snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Where have you been these past three years, Bella?" she asked as she locked me in an embrace. I winced at my name. I hate being called Isabella. I hadn't been called Bella since I ran away. "Bella" is a reminder that I was weak. I went by Izzy when I was at camp. It's much better than Isabella or Bella.

"I've been around the country." I replied dryly. She let go of me, sensing a change. Of course I had changed. I've fought monsters and seen deaths. I even killed a few monsters...

The day passed by. Aside from randomly b*tching out on random people, which I tended to do after the war, the next thing I knew, it was lunch time.

Mandy was sitting a few friends and I was about to walk over to them when someone called my name.

Bella's Point of View

"Did you guys hear?" Jessica asked as she sat next to me.

"Hear what?" Angela asked.

"Bella's back." she answered. I gave her a confused look and she rolled her eyes.

"Not you." she explained. "Isabella Meyer. She went missing a few years ago. Wait, there she is now."

Jessica called her name and I turned to see her. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She didn't smile when Jessica called her. She looked annoyed, but she did walk over to our table.

"Hey, Bella!" Jessica said as she gave the new girl a hug. She didn't hug her back. Jessica pulled away awkwardly.

"Can people please stop calling me that." she complained.

"Isn't Bella your name?" I asked.

"I go by Izzy now." she said. "Ever since I realized what a stupid name Bella is."

"Bella isn't a stupid name." Edward defended.

"You're right." she said. "But that name reminds me that I was once that weak little girl who let herself be pushed around by her b*tch of a step-sister." She said all that with a sickly sweet smile.

"My name is Bella." I told her. Izzy just smirked and left. I looked at Edward and found that he was trying to keep himself from attacking the girl. He probably heard her say something.

"That's not the Bella I knew." Angela said.

"I know." Jessica said. "She wasn't a b*tch. Going missing did something to her."

I watched as Izzy sat with some sophomores. I realized something.

"She's a sophomore?" I asked. Angela nodded. "She's sixteen. Went missing three years ago. Some people said she commit suicide, some said she was kidnapped. But today proves that she's still alive."

"And she wasn't a b*tch back then?"

"She was bullied by her step-sister."

"Speak of the devil." I heard Jessica mutter and I turned to look at what she was talking about.

Caroline Meyer. I guessed that she's Izzy's step-sister. She walked up to Izzy and dumped her soda on the poor girl. Izzy turned and glared at the girl who was smirking before rolling her eyes and walking out the cafeteria angrily.

"That definitely isn't Bella Meyer." Mike commented.

"What do you mean?"

"Bella would have ran out crying the second Caroline dumped her drink on her. Izzy actually glared at Caroline and stormed out ANGRILY." Mike answered. He put an emphasis on the word 'angrily'.

The bell rang signaling the end of the day. I headed out of the school building with Edward. He cursed when he found Izzy sitting on the grass. He still pretty much hates her for insulting me.

"Be nice." I told him and he sighed.

I saw that Caroline had already left, probably still being mean to Izzy.

I walked over to her, much to Edward's dismay.

"Need a ride?" I asked. Izzy looked up at me.

"Nah, I'll walk." she said, standing up.

"No, I insist."

"You're not mad that I called your name stupid?" she asked curiously.

I shook my head.

"Well, I'm sorry if I offended you." she replied. "But I really gotta go."

I frowned as she ran out of the campus.

Izzy's Point of View

I had to get out of there. My instincts were telling me to run. I mean, I know that monsters are anywhere, but I hate not knowing who the monsters are. Caroline isn't a monster, if you ask me. She's much worse. She's basically the devil's daughter. If there were such a thing as the devil. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up in the Fields of Punishment.

Anyway, I ended up getting lost in a forest. Stupid, I know. But I needed to get away. How did I get into the forest? I don't know. And I really don't care.

I kept walking around until I found a meadow. It was beautiful.

I decided to stay here for a while. I had been here for only a few minutes when the monster came into view.

"You lost?" the empousa asked. She was pale and her skin seemed to sparkle as if it were made of diamonds where the sun hit her. It was strange. Were there other kinds of empousa that no one knew of?

I smirked, even though I was completely terrified. But I didn't need the monster to know that.

"Well, aren't you a brave little girl?" she asked, and suddenly she was only two feet away from me. She smiled but it faded when the hellhounds came out of the trees.

Actually, they weren't hellhounds. They were just really big wolves. As big as hellhounds.

She glared at me before running off.

I watched as one by one, the wolves went after the empousa. Which left me confused. Why would they go after a much stronger being than the weaker one. I'm not saying that I'm weak, but I am weak compared to monsters.

My eye caught the eye of the sandy colored wolf. It seemed almost human. And I was drawn to it. Weird.

The wolf took one last look at me before reluctantly going after its pack members.
