I woke up this morning feeling very at ease. The past couple of weeks, I haven't been feeling in love with Edward anymore. It changed from a romantic love to a brotherly love. Yesterday, I went over to his house to tell him when I saw that the Denali coven was there. I called Edward out to talk, and he came out with a sad look on his face. Turns out, he was feeling the same way that I was. So, we broke up on really good terms. I honestly spent the rest of the day there hanging out with the Denalis and the Cullens.
"Bella," I heard my dad ask. I turned away from the window to my door to see him standing there with a glum look on his face. He was also dragging a large trunk behind him. "We need to have a talk." He walked into my room dragging that trunk on the floor. He put it down beside my bed and sat down. I sat up with a confused look on my face. "Mom and I have kept this from you because we didn't know how to tell you, but you are eighteen years old now, so it is your decision to do whatever you want with what I am about to tell you."
My heart started to speed up. My stomach was in knots, and it was doing flips at the same time. My palms were starting to sweat. "What's going on, Dad?"
He took a deep breath. "You're adopted."
"Oh, that's not so bad." Hold up. "Wait? What? I'm adopted. Wh...What do you mean?"
"Mom and I were honeymooning in New Orleans. A lady came up to us one day with blood all over her. She begged for your mother and I to take you away from New Orleans. You were screaming and crying, and once we saw you, we couldn't turn you away. She gave us a whole bunch of stuff that I put in this trunk."
I just stared at the trunk that it was going to burn me. "Do you know my mother's name? Is Isabella Marie even my birth name?"
"Your birth name was Isobelle Melisendra. She asked that it change it to something that was near it. I don't know your mother's name. She never told us. She said that it wasn't important. Mom and I changed the o to an a, and we changed the e to an a. Then, we just used Grandma Marie's name as your middle name." He took a deep breath. "How are you feeling?"
"I just need to be alone."
My dad sighed. "I will be downstairs if you need me." He got off my bed and left.
I stood up off my bed and grabbed my towel off the hanger. I went into the bathroom used the toilet, brushed my teeth, and got into the shower. Once I was done, I threw my hair up in a bun and went back into my room. I put on deodorant, perfume, bra, thong, yoga capris leggings, blue socks, and a blue tank top. I turned around and stared at the trunk. "Come on, Bella. You can do this." I pulled the trunk over to the rocking chair, and I sat down. "Shit. That is heavy." I sighed. "Just take deep breaths, Bella. You can do this." I opened up the trunk to see a bunch of different papers and things in here. I grabbed out a white baby blanket that had a brown crescent on it. "I wonder what that means." I grabbed a blue dress that had red on it.
It was my biological mother's dried blood.
Tears started to form in my eyes. "Maybe, I shouldn't do this." I sighed. "I can do this." I grabbed a folded piece of paper and opened it up. It was a picture of me and two older people. "These must be my parents," I smiled and put the picture on my bed. I saw an envelope that said Isobelle's first birthday. I sighed and opened it up.
Happy Birthday, our little one.
We hope that you had a very special first birthday with your new family. We wish that we were there to witness it, but we couldn't because of what was coming. Enjoy your very special day.
We Love You Very Much,
Papa and Mama
I had tears the size of racquetballs falling down my face now. "What was coming to them?" I felt something else in the envelope. I saw that there was a wolf charm. I put that on the bed with the picture. I put the note back into the envelope and back into the trunk. I repeated the process until I hit the envelope that said Isobelle's eighteenth birthday.
I just looked at the little things that came in the envelopes.
First Birthday - Wolf Charm
Second Birthday - Crescent Charm
Third Birthday - Crescent Earrings
Fourth Birthday - Chain for my Charms
Fifth Birthday - Sun Charm
Sixth Birthday - Full Moon Charm
Seventh Birthday - Dreamcatcher Charm
Eight Birthday - Star Charm
Ninth Birthday - Wolf Necklace
Tenth Birthday - Ten Dollars
Eleventh Birthday - Eleven Dollars
Twelveth Birthday - Twelve Dollars
Thirteenth Birthday - His Wedding Band
Fourteenth Birthday - Fourteen Dollars
Fifteenth Birthday - Fifteen Dollars
Sixteenth Birthday - Her Engagement Ring
Seventeenth Birthday - Hundred Dollars
I sighed and grabbed the eighteenth birthday note.
Our Beautiful Isobelle Melisendra,
It's time that you know the truth about us. Mama's name is Nora Louise Labonair. Papa's name is Marcus Daniel Labonair. We named you Isobelle because Mama loves that name. You named you Melisendra because Papa was obsessed with that name for a reason. Mama has no clue why.
Little one, we are werewolves in the Cresent Moon Pack. That means you are one too. Don't panic, you will not change into an actual werewolf unless you have killed someone. Mama and Papa had to admit it, but we have taken someone's life because they threatened to kill us. The only time that you change into a werewolf is when there is a Full Moon, but you won't change unless you have killed someone. We are not going to lie, the change is excruciatingly painful. Just know, that we will be right next to you helping you every step of the way.
By the time that you read this, we will be long gone. Your Aunt, Your Uncle, Mama, and I were trying to keep your cousin safe. Our old pack alpha didn't like that idea, but he thought that it was just your aunt and uncle, so he murdered them for betraying him. Your cousin was sent away to be safe. A couple years later, Mama and I tried again when you were born, and we were getting the same fate. Mama and I gave you away before Richard found out, but he will find out soon enough.
If you are every curious about your cousin. Her name is Andrea Labonair.
We love you with every fiber of our being. We will be watching over you.
Love,
Papa and Mama
By now, I had so many questions running through my head. Is my cousin still alive? Does she know about me? Am I really a werewolf? Their alpha killed them? Does that explain why I have a crescent moon birthmark on my shoulder?
I grabbed the little gift out of the envelope with tears falling down my face. I saw that it was my mother's wedding band. "Oh, Mama. Oh, Papa. I understand why you did it now," I said to no one. I put her rings on my fingers and looked at more things in the trunk. The rest of the things were explaining werewolves, the bayou, and my family history. There were about two thousand dollars in there too.
I know what I need to do now.
I sighed and stood up out of my rocking chair. I walked out of my room and went downstairs to see my Dad sitting there watching the game and drinking coffee. "Dad, I know what I need to do."
My Dad looked at me with somber eyes. "What do you need to do?"
I wrapped my arms around my waist. "I need to go to New Orleans." He just nodded. "I'm not going to wait for school to be done. I want to go there tomorrow. I need to know who I am. I need to know where I come from." He nodded his head. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I knew that you were going to choose this route. I called the school while you were upstairs and called you off. I also talked to him about online classes. You have to go pick up the information from the office."
"Okay, Dad. I'm going to go get that right now." He stood up. "Why aren't you at work?"
"I didn't know how you were going to react to that. So, I called the both of us off. I'll book your ticket to go." I nodded my head. I walked upstairs to my room. I put on a white t-shirt that said, Pheonix High School, and I put on blue flip flops. I grabbed my backpack and went back downstairs. "Bella, what are you going to do about Edward?"
"Oh, we broke up mutually. We are just friends now." I saw the happy look on his face. "They are off today too because they have family in town, so I'm going to go over there after to say goodbye." He nodded his head, and I walked out to my truck. I got in and drove to Forks High School. I got out and walked to the office. "Hi, Mrs. Cope. I'm here to pick up my online school stuff and to drop off my homework."
She nodded. "You can go to Principle Greene's office." I nodded my head and walked to his office.
"Come in, Bella," he said. I walked into his office. "Sit down. Let's talk about online schooling." I sat down across from him, and we discussed online school. "We will see you at the end of the year to walk across the stage."
"Thank you so much for this Mr. Greene." He smiled, and I left. I got into my truck and started to drive to the Cullens' house. I started to cry as soon as I turned down the winding road. I will miss the Cullens a lot. I parked my truck, and Alice was immediately standing on the porch with tears that would never fall in her eyes. I got out of my truck and walked up to her.
"You're leaving me?" She asked with a broken voice.
I nodded my head. "I need to do this," I said with an equally broken voice. She grabbed my hand, and we walked inside. I saw that everyone was sitting in the living room. The Cullens looked upset to hear that I was leaving. "I found out that I was adopted this morning. I have so many unanswered questions that I need to go there to figure out the answer to them. I'm moving to New Orleans." The Cullens looked at me with a painful expression. "I will come back here to visit when I can, but I think that I need to live there to figure everything out." I decided to the keep the fact that I'm a werewolf out because I don't know anything else about it. "I just came to say my goodbyes," I said and my voice broke at the last word.
Edward stood up and walked over to me. He wrapped me up in a tight hug. "Text me if you need anything. I will be there if you need me too." He kissed my head. I nodded and kissed his cheek. "Goodbye, Bella."
"Goodbye, Edward." I moved onto Esme. She pulled me into a tight hug. "Goodbye, Mom."
"Goodbye, my daughter." She kissed my head. "Don't hesitate to call us."
I nodded my head. "I know," I said. I walked to Carlisle. "Goodbye, Dad."
He gave me a tight hug. "Goodbye, my Isabella." He kissed my head. I moved to Rosalie. "What are you going to do about school?" Carlisle asked.
"Mr. Greene is letting me finish online." I turned to Rosalie, and I just stood there "Goodbye, Rosalie."
She shocked everyone and pulled me into a hug. "Goodbye, Bella."
I moved to Emmett. "Goodbye, Emmy."
I scooped me up into a big hug. "Goodbye, Belly. If anyone gives you hell, just let me know. I'll come down and kill them." I just shook my head and rolled my eyes. He put me down.
I moved to Jasper. He pulled me into a gentle hug. "Goodbye, Bella."
"Goodbye, Jasper." I moved to Alice, and I started bawling my eyes out. "Goo..."
"Don't say it," Alice said. She started to dry sob uncontrollably. "You are staying here."
"Ali, I have to go," I bawled out. "Goodbye, Alice." I reached out to hug her. She just shook her head and stepped back. My heart broke. I just sighed and turned to the Denali Coven. "It was nice to meet you guys." I turned to walk out of the Cullen's house when I felt a pair of cold arms. I turned to see Alice hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her as tightly as I could. "Goodbye, sister."
"Goodbye, Sister." We stood there for five minutes before we pulled apart. "Don't you dare get another best friend. That spot is mine."
I nodded. "I promise that I won't."
"I'll walk you out," Edward said. We linked hands and walked out to my truck. He opened the door, and I got in. I just sat there facing him, and he stood by the door. "Bella, just because we broke doesn't mean that I stopped caring about you. If you are having any trouble with anyone, call me. I will be there in a heartbeat." He wrapped me in a hug.
"I know you will. I still care about you too, Edward. Go inside. Go be with Tanya. I can see the way that you two look at each other." He grabbed my chin, and he gave me a gentle kiss. "Bye, Edward."
"Bye, Bella." I got into my truck. "Text me when you get to where you are going. Just so we know that you are safe."
"Okay," I said and drove away. I cried the whole way back home. I didn't bother going to La Push because Jacob told me to go to hell the other day, so I wasn't going to associate myself with them. I parked my truck and walked inside. I saw that my dad was at the computer printing something. "Hey, Dad."
I walked over to him. "Hey, Bells. How was everything?"
"I don't want to talk about it," I said with a sigh. "I will be walking with my class for graduation."
"Good." He handed me two pieces of paper. "As an eighteenth birthday present, I'm going to help you get an apartment or house in New Orleans. Are you wanting to drive or fly to New Orleans?"
"You didn't have to do that, Dad. I could have gotten an apartment. I have two thousand one hundred sixty-two dollars upstairs in the trunk from my biological parents. I have about a thousand in my account." I hugged him. "I'll want to drive that way I can have my things, but I don't have a car that can do that."
Dad stood up and grabbed his keys. "Come on, Bells. Go get the money, and we will put it in your bank account." I nodded my head. I walked upstairs, grabbed my Michael Kors purse, and the money that Mama and Papa gave me. I grabbed my phone off the charger and put into my purse. I walked downstairs and grabbed my wallet out of my backpack, and I put that in my purse. "Ready?" I nodded my head. We walked out to the truck and got in. He started it up and drove us to our bank. "Now that I think about it, I don't think that the bank that we have here will be the same in New Orleans. Do you just want to take that money out and as soon as you get to New Orleans, you can put it in a bank?"
I nodded my head. "That would be better." He parked the truck, and we got out. We walked into the bank and was stopped by Monica Stanley - Jessica's older sister. "Hey, Monica. I need to empty my account," I said.
"Okay, Bella. Follow me." We followed her into her into her cubicle. "Can I ask why you are closing your account?"
"I'm moving to New Orleans. I'm going to put all of my money into one of the banks that are there." I said. It's going to get out sooner or later. I like Monica more than I do Jessica, but she gossips as much as her sister. She nodded and grabbed out some papers.
"If you could sign these," she said. I grabbed a pen and signed them. "Well, Bella it looks like you have fifty-four thousand nine hundred ninety-five dollars and eight six cents in your account."
"Huh?" I asked with my jaw on the floor.
"You can see here all of the transfers into your account," Monica said.
"The transfer from 2332 that is ten thousand is from Poppy Charles. He wanted you to have it at eighteen. The transfer from 7612 that is ten thousand if from Nana Joan. She wanted you to have it at eighteen. The transfer from 6565 that is fifteen thousand is from Grandma Marie and Grandpa Joe. They wanted you to have it at eighteen. The four thousand if from mom and I each. I don't know where that fifteen thousand came from."
I looked at the numbers, and I immediately knew who it came from. That is Carlisle and Esme's account number. I've used their account before to get food for their house because Alice invited Angela and I over one day, and they didn't know what to get. I grabbed my phone and hit Esme's number in the messages.
Bella: Mom and Dad? Really? I don't need the fifteen thousand.
She replied immediately.
Momma Esme: Dad and I want you to run out of money. We consider you our daughter, so hush up. Plus, only ten thousand only came from us. You can guess where the five thousand came from. We will not take it back from you. So, don't try.
I just sighed.
Bella: Thank you.
Momma Esme: No problem, my darling. We Love You.
Bella: I love you guys too.
I hit Edward's name in my messages.
Bella: Were you the one that put the other five thousand in my account?
His reply was almost instant.
Edward: I don't want you stranded in wherever without any money. I'm not going to take it back.
I just sighed and shook my head.
Bella: Thank you.
Edward: No problem. I will keep doing it, so get used to it.
Bella: I'm taking all of my money out of my account, so that's how I found out about it.
Edward didn't reply. I put my phone into my purse, and I brought my attention back to Monica. "You okay?" I nodded my head. "I'll be right back." She walked out of the cubicle.
"I wonder who gave you the fifteen thousand," my dad said to me.
"I figured it out." I shook my head. He just nodded. Monica came back with a big thing of cash. "Whoa."
"I still have to count it." She sat down and counted all of it in front of me. I made sure that she counted right and everything. "Here you go, Bella." She handed me the money in a big manila envelope.
"Thank you," I said and grabbed it. I put it in my purse. Dad and I got up and left. We got into the truck, and he started to drive. "Where are we going now?"
"We are going to the car dealership." I just nodded my head. I grabbed the envelope out of my purse, and I grabbed my wallet. I put the money from Mama and Papa into the manila envelope too. "Do you know what kind of car that you want?"
"No," I sighed. "I want a good car for traveling. Edward's car is nice. I think I will get a Volvo s60." Dad nodded his head. "Thank you for doing this, Dad."
"It's not a problem, Bells. I just want you to be set when you get to New Orleans." I nodded my head. "What are you hoping to find in New Orleans?"
"I'm hoping to find out who I really am. I want to know about Nora and Marcus. I want to know where I was born. I always thought that I was born in Forks, Washington. I just found out that I was born in New Orleans." I also found out that I am a werewolf. "I just feel drawn to go."
He nodded his head. "I'm happy that you want to do this for yourself, Bella. I just want you to be safe. I want you to call me every day." I nodded my head. Dad and I finished the drive to Port Angeles with some small conversations. He pulled into the Volvo dealership and parked. We got out and walked over to a black Volvo s60. I immediately walked to the Volvo s60. "I like this one, Bella."
I nodded my head as a worker walked up to us. "How can I help you?"
"How much is it for this car in black?" The man told me the price. I nodded my head.
"Now, what all does that include?" Dad asked.
"That comes with a sunroof, heated seats, Bluetooth, touch screen, and comfortable seats," the man said.
"She is moving out of the state, so can she wire me the money for the monthly payments?" He nodded his head. "Bella, why don't you sit in the car to see if you like it?" I nodded my head. Dad shut the door and kept talking to the man. I thought that it was weird, but okay. The worker pulled out a machine, and my dad pulled out his wallet.
I scowled and got out. "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry about it, Isabella." Okay, where the hell is he getting all of this money from? He signed something on the IPad, and the man gave me the keys to the car. "Your mother, Phil, and I all put money together for this."
"Thank you, Dad. I'm going to head home now. I want to start packing and stuff."
He nodded his head. "I'll meet you at home. I'm going to stop at the station to get boxes and stuff." I nodded my head. "See you at home."
"Thank you, Dad." I got into my new car and started it. "I love this." I backed out of the lot and started to drive home. I turned on the radio, and I listened to music on my way home. When I got home, I parked my new car and walked inside. I immediately went upstairs to start packing. I everything from that I took out from the trunk earlier, and I put it back it. I could most likely fit it in the trunk. It's that that big, it's just heavy. I looked at the desk and saw a picture of my mom.
I sat down on my bed and grabbed my phone. I dialed her number. "Hey, Bella," she said with a sad voice.
"Hey, Mom. Thank you for everything."
"Oh, baby. Please don't forget about me," she said.
"Never," I said.
"Okay. I have to go. I'm in the middle of a conference with Phil and his team. Call me when you get to New Orleans. I love you."
"I love you too, Mom." We hung up the phone. I packed a couple suitcases full of clothes and shoes.
"Bells?" I heard my dad call from downstairs. I left my room, and I went to the top of the stairs to see Dad standing there next to Esme and Alice.
"Hey, guys." I walked down the stairs.
"I have to go to the station. Something about a brawl at the high school. I brought you pizza. Esme and Alice said that they will help you pack." He grabbed his badge and gun. He quickly said bye and left.
"Let's go upstairs." We walked up to my room, and she saw that I was somewhat packed. "I still have a little bit to do still."
"What are you planning on doing? Can you tell us that?" Alice asked as she grabbed a picture of the two of us.
We all sat down on my bed. "Well, I'm originally from New Orleans. That is where I am going. I'm going to either leave later tonight, middle of the night, or early morning. I looked online on the way to Port Angeles, and I saw that it will take almost two days to get there."
Alice's phone rang. "It's Jasper." She answered it and put it on speaker. "Hey, Jas."
"Hey, darling. What are you and Esme doing? Do you want to come hunt with me tonight? Edward, Garret, Lucas, and Emmett want to go now. I said that I would call and check in with you."
"It's fine. You go with the guys. Mom and I are at Bella's house. We are talking to her about her plans, and we are going to help her pack." I opened up the box of pizza and grabbed a piece.
"Rosalie just said that she is on her way," Jasper said. "She is running."
"Okay," I said with a mouthful of pizza. I put my pizza down and walked over to the window. I opened it and sat back on my bed. "Have fun hunting."
Jasper chuckled. "We will. Bye, ladies. We love you."
"Love you," the three of us said at the same time.
Rosalie came through my window. "I wasn't going to stay there. All of the boys wanted to go hunting. The Denali girls are gossiping about something." She sat on my bed after taking off her shoes.
"It's not a problem. As I was saying, I'm either going to leave tonight or early morning. I'm going to stop at a hotel, and I will shower there. Then, when I get to New Orleans, I'm going to get an apartment or small house. It depends on what is available. I plan on finding a bank and putting my money in there. After that, I'm spending the day finding furniture for my apartment and house." They nodded their heads.
"I want to know about your schooling in detail," Esme said.
"I'm allowed to do online schooling through like what they do for the alternative school. I promise that I will be back to walk."
"Good," Esme said. "What are you wanting to figure out while you are there?"
"Why they did what they did. I have letters and everything from them." I showed them my right hand. "These are my mother's rings."
"Those are pretty," Rosalie said.
I started to take a bite of pizza when Carlisle came through my window. "Hi," we said.
"I got bored," he said and laughed.
I just shook my head. "I can't believe that I'm moving again. This time, I'm moving because it was my choice," I said as I looked around.
"Whose black car is that downstairs that is not ours?" Carlisle asked.
"Mine. It's an eighteenth birthday present from Mom and Dad." I shook my head. "I woke up this morning with two sets of parents, and now I have three. That's normal." I stood up and grabbed my laptop. "I'm going to look at houses and apartments in New Orleans to meet up with the realtor." They nodded. I turned on my new Mac and searched for houses in the area. I saw one that I really liked. "I like this one."
"Let me see," Alice said. She and Rosalie walked over to the laptop.
"It's a two story house. The first floor has a kitchen, dining room, closet, living room, and a room that has a lot of window for light. The upstairs room has a master bedroom with master bathroom, a guest room, and full bath. I really like it." I grabbed my phone and dialed the realtor's number. I put the phone on speaker.
"Hello. O'Connor realty. My name is Henry O'Connor. How can I help you?"
"Hello. My name is Bella Swan. I was wondering about this house that you have for sale." I told him the address.
"Oh, yes. That house just dropped in price because no one is buying it." He told me the price. "What question do have about it?"
"Well, I'm moving from Forks, Washington to New Orleans. I was just looking at around for places to leave. I came across that one, and I fell in love with it. I'm hoping to be there in two days if I leave tonight. That means I will get there Wednesday morning. Could I possibly set up a meeting time to see about the house?"
"Absolutely. Does noon on Wednesday sound good to you?"
"That sounds perfect. That's all I have to ask you about the house. I will see you then Henry. Thank you so much."
"Thank you, Bella." He hung up the phone.
I couldn't help but squeal. "I'm so excited. I really need to get packing if I'm going to leave tonight. I won't stop to sleep if I am going to make it in time." I closed up my laptop, and I loaded it up into my backpack. I grabbed a box that Esme and Alice brought up. I want to put my pictures in this box. I put all of the pictures that I had around my room. I put the pictures in my boxes, and I felt a breeze all around me. I looked around to see that they had my room packed up. "Thank you," I said to them. They all smiled at me. "I'm going to miss you guys," I said with a pout. "Now, that I'm packed up. I want to leave now."
Rosalie and Alice wrapped their arms around me. "We will miss you too."
"Bells," I heard dad from downstairs.
"Just in time." I got off my bed and met my dad at the top of the steps. "Hey, Dad. Carlisle and Rosalie are here too. They helped me."
He nodded and walked into my room. "They really did help you." I nodded my head. "When do you plan on leaving, Bells?"
"Soon," I said.
He nodded. "Let's load your car up." All of us loaded my car up. We said goodbye the Cullens, and they left. I turned my attention to my Dad. "You leaving?" I nodded my head. "Goodbye, Bells," he said with a cracked voice.
"Bye, Dad. I'll call you every day. I'll keep up with my schoolwork." He hugged me tightly. "I love you, Dad."
"I love you too, Kid." He kissed my head. "Be careful."
I nodded my head. "I will." I got into my car, buckled up, and put my destination into my GPS. I gave my father one last wave, and I was on my way to my new home.
