So here is the first chapter if the new and hopefully improved story. I have been wanted to fix this for a long time now and have finally found the motivation. This version will all be in Bella's point of view. So read and enjoy and give me and review. Please :)

All Italics are thoughts. Just in case its not clear.

So here we are again. All packed up in our respective cars and trucks. Or at least the ones that we will be taking with us. Emmett in his big black Jeep Wrangler. Rose in her flashy red convertible BMW that she customized herself. Alice and Jasper in their beautiful blue Audi. Carlisle and Esme are in their black BMW Sedan. Me I was riding in my baby. She is a dark green 1967 Chevy Impala. I love this car so much. I call her Kayleigh. She is my forever true companion. Bought her brand new and still she is in pristine shape. We are on our way back to Forks Washington. We lived there before, but that was a long time ago. You see me and my family are vampires. Which is why we never get to stay in one place for very long. Its not because of any death rate or disappearance's that alert the humans to our existence. We don't feed on humans, we feed from animals. Its the one way we can hold onto our humanity. We leave because we do not age. Once people start to notice this we have to pick up and move on. Usually faking our deaths or just disappearing with out a trace. Over the years we have gotten very good at this but it is still disheartening. I really liked this little small town in this small corner of Alaska, but just like all small towns everyone knows everyone and they start to notice much earlier.

I look in my rear view mirror and I see the small inferno that was our little house and I felt a pang of sadness in the pit of my unbeating heart. It is far enough away from all the other houses that it will be able to burn to ash before anyone notices. The bodies that are in there will be so destroyed that no one will be able to identify them. It will just be known that they are us. After all who else could they be. In this town Carlisle worked in the funeral home. They are bodies that were supposed to be cremated, but we held onto them just for this purpose. Emmett was worried that this wouldn't work this time but Alice saw that it would be a success. She has visions of the future. It is her gift, a gift that has helped us many times in the past. It is always nice to know if others like us are going to come into town or if people are going to set fires because they think we are witches. She is a useful little pixie. Other not so nice covens who know about her have wanted her for years. The only hitch in their plan is that she loves us and we love her. I pulled my eyes from the burning memories we made in that house and looked forward to the new life we would have in Forks.

I felt a buzzing in my pocket and pulled out my cell phone and saw the little pixies face lighting up the screen. Alice oh Alice what could you want now. I flipped it open and answered.

"Yes Alice, what is it?" I said.

"You need to stop being all daisy downer on me and perk up. Jasper can feel it from here and it is just emanating off him. I don't like feeling this bummy. This move is going to be great. I just know it."

"Sorry Alice and tell Jazz I'm sorry too. I just really liked it there. I actually had friends and some semblance of a life and now we have to start all over." Normally when we move we don't have people who will morn the loss of us. Here I had a friend. A best friend. She was a lot like me. Loved reading books and watching old movies. She is shy and didn't mind awkward silence or the fact that I was abnormal. She never asked questions and didn't have the mind of your average teenager. I'm going to miss Becky.

See Alice isn't the only one with a gift beyond the norm. Me and Jasper were gifted as well. Jasper can feel and manipulate the emotions of people around him. I think he has it even harder than me. I can hear the thoughts of people around me. Sadly its not something I can turn on and off it is always there in the background. I have learned over the years to focus and it isn't so loud and overwhelming. But still it never goes away. Jasper has learned to block it out as well but it is much harder for him. As vampires we are plagued with a vicious thirst for blood. It is much harder to resist the draw of humans when you feel the thirst of all the other vampires around you. It is also a bit harder when your diet is not normal. We survive off of animal blood which doesn't fulfill our thirst as much as human blood, so that thirst is always there.

"Bella just give this a real chance. Plus look on the bright side you wont be alone here either." I started to ask what she was talking about but all I got was the click of her hanging up on me. Which means she is giving nothing up on this. So I will just have to wait and see what happens like a normal person.

We arrived at the old house earlier than planned since we had to make no stops to hunt. I bought us some good hefty thermoses and made a few adjustments to them so we had some warm blood on the run. I was able to catch our animal of choice. Use an IV to drain the blood right from the animal straight to the thermos. It stays warm and is air proof. So it stayed nice and fresh. I call this a very big success. I wonder why I didn't think of this earlier. Jasper was the most excited by my invention. It will allow him to carry blood with him so that when we were around humans and he finds himself overwhelmed by the thirst he can quench it and gain control. Jasper did not have the same upbringing that the rest of us did so it was harder for him to make the switch.

As soon as we pulled in the driveway I felt it instantly. I was home. Through the thoughts of my family I knew I wasn't the only one feeling this. Jasper and Alice have never been here so it was all new for them. But the rest of felt it. The peaceful comfort of home. It is something our kind can rarely find. We are never able to stay anywhere for more than 10 years so building a home isn't really in the cards for us. But we were able to stay here for nearly 5 years before anyone knew we were here. So when we introduced ourselves to society we had another 10 year span before we had to move on. Now it has been so long since we were here no one will know us. Its a fresh start in a familiar place.

We all got out of our cars and stood in front of the house. Just looking. Carlisle put his arm around me and kissed the top of my head. Welcome home Love. I just looked up in his eyes and smiled my thanks. I loved looking into his golden eyes. He was the only father I had ever known. Even in my human life I never had a father. He was it.

"Lets get unpacked and don't worry Bella I have gone through it a million times and it never worked. You get to keep your room and your amazing view." Said Alice sounding slightly bummed. I had seen it in her thoughts for the past 5 months. She had tried changing her mind over and over. Looking into the future to see if there was anyway that I would give up my room to her and Jasper. But that will never happen. Its nice to know she finally gave up.

Within 2 days we had to house renovated to make a room for Alice and Jazz, everything cleaned up, set up, and put away. Now all that's left to do is register for school once again and Carlisle's welcome party at the hospital. None of us were looking forward to this party. We had to act as human as possible. If anyone got to suspicious we would not be able to stay. We would have to eat and converse with everyone. Keep heat packs in our pockets so that when we shook hands with everyone our abnormally cold skin wouldn't be so noticeable. Oh yes and my sarcastically favorite part. We will have to come home and vomit up the food we eat so it doesn't rot in our bellies. The only thing I am looking forward to about this party is that it is going to be a small one. The little town is just excited about having a strapping young gifted doctor willing to work at their little hospital. I know its strange for a vampire to be working at a hospital but Carlisle is the most controlled of our family and loves helping humans. Using his enhanced senses to make them better. Saving those who would have died if he didn't exist.

All in all it could be worse. As much as I will miss Alaska I am happy to be back in Forks. I love it here and am very curious about who I am going to meet. The hint of excitement in Alice's voice has me a little worried but still curious. Only time will tell.

Well there it is. I think I got all the typos. Had a little issue with the transfer to the website. So please leave a review. I hope you like it.

Thanks, Raelynne
