Life makes us wonder who we are. Why we live, how we came to be. When I came to Forks I uncovered secrets that I never knew existed. They were stories, fairy tales to scare children. But I was foolish, caught in my own world. But I was caught in another world to a different species. We Swan's had our own legend far through time. I guess all stories are real. Compared to what I am, and will be. What flows through my bloodline, I am the last pure swan. There are others like me. But to different families, our once great race all but gone. The spirits, our blood carries the gene something like shape shifters. We are chosen by a spirit, and only females change. I stared at my ice blue eyes in the water .The moon cast a beautiful glow. I am checking the area for Victoria, her flame like hair, and glowing crimson eyes were enough to scare anyone. I knew the local pack here was trying to get to her, but it was my foolishness that brought her here. And I would be the one to fix my mistake. The wolves were not as strong as me. Though I am a wolf myself, a sprit.
Chapter one Edward Cullen
Bella pov:
"Come for a walk with me," he suggested in a unemotional voice taking my hand. I didn't answer. I couldn't think of a way to protest, but I instantly knew that I wanted to. I didn't like this. This is bad, very bad, the voice in my head repeated again and again. But he didn't wait for answer. He pulled me along toward the east side of the yard, where the forest encroached. I followed unwillingly, trying to think through the panic. It was what I wanted, I reminded myself. The chance to talk it all through. So why was the panic choking me?
Some walk.
"Okay let's talk"I said. It sounded braver then I felt.
He took a deep breath.
"Bella, we're leaving."
I took a deep breath, too. This was an acceptable option I thought I was prepared. But still had to ask.
"Why now - another year?"
"Bella, its time. How much longer could we stay in Forks, after all? Carsile can barely pass for thirty, and he's claiming thirty-three now. We'd have to start over soon regardless."
His answer confused me. I thought the point of leaving was to let his family live in peace. Why did we have to leave if they were going ? I stared at him, trying to understand what he meant.
With a roll of anger, plenty of it, rage came into my being, something was wrong. I shook from the anger that coursed through me. I let out a huff, slowing calming down. And returning my gaze back to his butter scotch eyes. It took me a few minutes to answer.
''Okay I'll come with you."
"You can't, Bella. Where we're going … It's not the right place for you."
I shook more, rage entered me like a water fall. My eyes glared at him. My anger seeping through.
"Where you are going is the right place for me." My voice loud, almost a demand.
"I'm no good Bella, my world is not for you."
"NO! This is about my soul isn't it?" I shouted, my entire body shook. The demand was there in my voice. To an authorize level. I clenched my fist, I wasn't weak.
"I'm not a porcelain doll Edward I can take care of myself and If this is what I choose so be it, take my soul I don't want it, if I could be with you."
"Bella, I don't want you to come with me."
All the anger with me, no gone. A numb feeling covered my body.
"You….don't..want..me?
His cold gaze turned toward the tree's, but so quickly turned toward me though it was all in slow motion. I blinked confused, I caught Edward's movements?
"Well that changes things."I sounded calm, If this is what he wanted.
"Of course I will always love you. . . . in a way. But what happened the other night made me realize that it's time …"
I cut him off.I couldn't take the rage in my body, my face courted in anger. I growled. It sounded like a wild animals.I felt something seeping into my body, I could actually feel it, seeping through my very bones twisting itself inside of me, coming alive, and my anger was letting it in. I glared at the cold, pale faced vampire in front of me. My senses coming alert. Smelling and hearing things I never heard before.
"SHUT UP, IF YOU WANT TO GO JUST LEAVE I DON'T CARE ANY LONGER FOR YOU BAD EXPLANATIONS, IF YOU THIS SO LONG WHY EVEN HAVE TALKED TO ME, IF I WAS JUST A MERE HUMAN, MOST OF THE TIME YOU FED ME LIES ANYWAY, ALWAYS KEEPING SECRETS FROM ME, KEEPING ME AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS, FROM LA PUSH, FROM JACOB, BUT YOU WANTED TO GIVE ME EXPERIENCES, HA! IF KEPT COVERING YOUR TRACKS, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO ME TO BE A VAMPIRE WITH YOU IN THE VERY BEGGING, HOLDING ME OFF. YOU WERE BEING SELFISH, IF YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO BE WITH YOU, WHY BRAKE MY HEART IN THE FIRST PLACE,LEAVE….IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT LEAVE, YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME , MY SCENT PROBABLY THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT YOU AROUND."
I growled again, this time fiercer. My eyes stared into his shocked ones. Sorrow and grief filled his features. I laughed sounding so bitter. I could feel it I was bitter. The sneer glued to my face my heart slowly was tearing itself apart, I was barely breathing, this thing inside of me twisted again. I grabbed onto my chest. I shook so hard my knees fell to the floor.
"Good bye Bella." He stepped near me. I dropped to the floor my knees fell to the soft ground. I held my hand up, as saying stop, my eyes could follow his steps toward me.
"Don't touch me parasite, liar is the better name for you, I'll give you a promise, if you give me one."
He nodded his butter scotch eyes held no emotion.
"I promise to never think, feel, or talk about you ever again."
"And in return you better promise to never come back, because I had a feeling you were going to say that any way, plus I can look after myself."
He nodded.
"I'm sorry Bella."
"Really, because I don't know what to believe anymore." And with that I heard him leave. His footsteps loud., beating against the dirt surface going around a hundred to hundred five miles per hour. My body felt over stretched. My sense zeroed in my hole body was filled with regret. The darkness pulled into me, it was almost evil in a strange way, like ripping away my soul. I screamed. My skin felt like fire, the rain pouring down touched my skin, but I was dry. I could see the steam that came from my skin. Though that did not matter, I stared were Edward once was. The memory constantly burned in my head. Playing like a broken record player. Though it sent fresh wounds in my heart. I could barely breath from the pain.
"Edward"
I sat there a second longer, my feet ran toward his direction, making powerful strides, never falling, I tried chasing after his scent but it was everywhere, confusing me. Maybe he headed north toward Canada. It was the only thing I do, find him my soul. There was nothing in this area but old scents the dark tree gave a comforting feeling slightly, but soon as that feeling came it went. My hole reopened causing me to lose my breath; I slowly got back up, but held my chest as hard as I could.
"Edward"
My body slowly broke down piece by piece I could see my heart was gone, nothing but dust and pieces that were once there. I screamed so loud it struck my own ears echoing off into the tree. It felt as if my bones were being shredded apart. Heat, coursed through my veins, he more energy came in. As if something lived within me. I was growing stronger I could hear it, though this pain was holding me to this earth. The material seeped through my skin. Spikes, came through my shoulder, I heard my own clothes shred. A glow, a energy came around me. My vision I could no longer see. My senses gone I blacked out. Nothing but a contains darkness.
"Hello Isabella."
I circled around nothing but darkness surrounded me. I could see silver eyes staring at me from a distance though they were at a lower level. I closed my eyes for half a second. I opened them, as I jumped back in shock. A white wolf staring at me, his coat was fresh like snow. His ice blue eyes perfectly matching his fur though the tattoo like marking his face. Did his eyes just change color?
"Hello" I felt so stupid talking to this creature. I looked down and saw what I was wearing. I instantly blushed, though I felt no discomfort, it was something you would see drawing by artists. I barely had anything on. The wolf nodded, looking at me.
"Always so good with weird, I finally get to see my swan, and the last pure blood I waited centuries, to meet with you, I am daemon, I have chosen you, My soul has enter twined with yours. You are apart of me as I am with you .I will always be with you even when we die. Also a friend to a wolf I see, to the shape shifter Jacob Black, the swan family and the blacks have been friends since the 1800s." My brows scrunched in confusion.
"Jacob, my Jacob."
"Yes it flows through his bloodline, as it flows through the swan's though you are entirely different you are something like the spirit warrior of the Quileute , though entirely different all the same. You great grandmother was a spirit , on her eight teeth birthday on a new moon she changed. When the coven was around, and was a friend to Ephraim Black. Our purpose is to destroy vampires like shape shifters, though we must destroy other evils as well, we are souls after all. Were very strong, more so then a vampire. You can shape shift in three forms depending how angry you get. First the warrior stage your visible, second your wolf, and last form your truly a spirit."
The wolf paused as he turned his head. Looking in the direction behind him.
"The shape shifter Sam Uley is looking for you, I am with you Bella."
"But…"
"I will talk to you again."I watched his eyes turn to a steel color he was nothing to mess with I could feel the strength pull of in waves. Soon he was gone like a whisper in the wind.
I nodded. I slightly opened my eyes, seeing the forest perfectly clear. Though I felt so weak the angry waves still washed through me. I was so weak, my muscles tensed; there was bleach like smell in this entire area. My nose twitched the spirit inside of me wanting to be released. I heard the thrumming of paws, coming in fast of a distance .I felt my body change once again back to its first form. I growled in excitement my senses constantly throwing me everywhere. My only option right now was to run, my heart grazed its own wounds .The holes that would never be refilled because of Ed….him. I was too weak at this moment my body felt as if on fire though also in a blizzard personally I don't know how I could stand up through the pain. But I did, my wounds on my arms healed over as if looking weeks old. I sniffling sound took mind from its own accord, I've been so distracted with the pain I didn't hear the animal come closer. I could see the animal perfectly clear. This was no Mere wolf, too much intelligence was in its eyes, I could make out a human inside of it perfectly clear as if the wolf was a solid spirit. It large coal black body was observing me, you could see the shock in its eyes. So this was the qulieute shape shifter daemon said Sam Uley was looking for me. This was him, his eyes were too human….The pain was too much for my body, my shirt clamps to my skin dirt caked it till it matted, I felt myself slowly change back into a human, then senses were disappearing but were still there. Just not as strong, the wolf watched me. I was not as alarmed with him though he was a huge as horse. My armor completely disappeared. The waves of pain washed over me, he….was gone.
"Bella Swan"
I looked at the man; his height was around 6'5 to 6' strong features stood out from the moon light. His dark eyes filled with knowledge. As the wolf before him, I could see the wolf cloaking his figures how it spread around him, they shared a body. I grabbed at my chest lifting myself….. why should I go through all this pain because of him I wasn't weak, and I would let this man see me this way.
"Sam Uley Alpha of the Quileute tribe?"
He set a calm façade on his face. His eyes narrowed slightly. Judging on what to say or do. Having an inner battle, pain slightly took his eyes.
"No Cullen told me, so no agreement or treaty was broken."
I stood up, I could feel the blood dry over my face, my jacket a t-shirt was completely shredded, I could smell a fimalr scent linger on the ground , very similar to mine, but off. My old scent?
I turned my eyes back on Uley, worry and shocked etched in his eyes, though his face placed a cold mask.
"Thank you."
I saw the wolf outside its body it was evaluating me ways more than one. It soul was intertwined with his, for life.
He slightly smiled though the sun began to rise, a slight fog filled the air around us, the clouds began to cover the sky eagerly. I looked down at my clothes once more.
"May I ask Alpha why you are here?"
His brows scrunched in confusion.
"How-"
"Its easy the way the wolf soul is intertwined with yours, plus the scent, is a dead giveaway, you are important I can tell, you have to be the Alpha."
Especially, the soul of black leaf. The soul stared back at me with surprise but gave a slight smirk.
My limbs were so weak, just standing was draining the fire still was in my body, and the whole was cutting deeper into my heart. I shivered, tears came to my eyes, but I held them back. I FELT FIRE SURGE AROUND ME. Stronger then before, bones turning to ash and slowly reshaped themselves.
"Bella what's wrong."-
He sounded frantic he picked me up slowly just in case I was injured. I tried to answer him but I couldn't. The pain was too much on my body.
"Are you hurt, do you need a doctor."
I tried to bullied enough strength to talk. I let out a shrill scream. I slightly opened my eyes, and shook my head no. I locked my teeth in frustration. The fire spread around me more become unlike anything I ever felt. This was nothing compared to before when James bit me. I opened my mouth to speak. I gasped quickly.
"Human not human can't."-
I closed my eyes, the darkness pulled me in once again, and I let it. I saw Daemon he showed me his wolfy grin. I ran toward him running over the was beautiful here, butterflies flew everywhere and a large water f I could still feel the fire, but I could think around it. I slowed down falling down by his side laying my head on his stomach, I knew he would never hurt me. He nodded in approval, he turned his head toward the lake his eyes closed as well as mine…. I slip in my dark void and let the fire consume me. For I knew what I would be when I fear started to enter me... I slightly prayed hopeing I can control this.
