Lets all give a round of applause to the legend that is Stephanie Meyer, she is a truly talented writer. And without her the world would be deprived of the Cullens. I claim no rights to the story, my story is based on her characters but exploring a different plot.
Here it is the sequel to 100 Years Later! I havemanaged to get this out a lot faster then I had hoped for, so all is good :) If you are one of the readers that have decided to read this, but haven't read the prequel, I recommend you read that first before this one, to fully understand how the story.
Thank you to all my regular readers, who review on a regular basis. It is you that made me want to continue writing with this story, had I not got reviews I probably would have given up on the story.
Dedication: I would like to dedicate the first chapter of When Time Stands Still to Zukolover45, KoopoBrianJebus, Jasper says Relax-X - This chapter goes out to you guys for making me realise how much people enjoyed reading my last story
Also, I would like to thank everyone for reviewing Chapter 20 of 100 Years Later, I got 22 review for the one chapter, which is more then the usual 13-17
Anyway.... ON WITH THE STORY!!!!
Chapter 1
BPOV
I sat in the Cafeteria on our first day back to school as seniors after the long summer holidays. A year and a half had passed since Shayne had left Forks Washington, for what we could only guess was somewhere in Brazil before moving on again.
A lot had happened since we had last seen Shayne, me and Edward were now married legally married, although no one else other then us Vampires know, Chris and Milla had sold our old house due to it's lack of use, and we'd moved in properly with the Cullen's who very kindly gave us all bank accounts to their fortune that had amounted over the years. Due to spending the large amount of time with the Cullens, the name Izzy had been stopped being used by both Milla and Chris after they picked up the habit of calling me Bella like the others did.
Another thing that had happened sine Shayne left on that fateful day, the change in Seth had been slow, but showed how much he truly missed Shayne. Like he had with Shayne he slowly drifted away from his friends, until he no longer spoke to anyone but Erin on occasions. He still attended classes, but even then he was still content to keep himself to himself, ignoring the teachers when they directed questions at him... He was totally different from the Seth I had met on occasion when I was human, and the one who had been with Shayne.
"Bella," Alice whispered to me as she waved a hand in front of my eyes, "You there?" she asked.
"What?" I asked as my thoughts were brought from their wandering to the Cafeteria where I was sitting with Alice, Rose and Jasper while the others had gone hunting with Esme and Carlisle, she followed where my gaze had been a mere couple of seconds ago, she frowned slightly before turning back to face me.
"Bella," she whispered sympathetically, "I know how you feel-" she was interrupted by a cough from Jasper, carrying on once she had turned to smile at him and then back to me, "Alright, Jasper knows how you feel, and he knows how Seth feels... But you can't feel guilty over this, it isn't your fault."
"I know," I whispered just loud enough for them to hear, "But if I'd talked to Shayne, he might have stayed."
"We all know he wouldn't have," Rosalie added as she picked up her apple of off the table and played with it in her hands, while Alice frowned at her. "What?" she asked as she saw the look on Alice's face, "He was more of a nomadic Vampire; he only came here to get Bella from Jake and stayed for Seth..."
"Yeah... But it's worse for us then it is for humans, time doesn't matter to us as it does to them. It's like time stands still." I said nodding as I closed my eyes, my mind wandering back to where it had been earlier.
SPOV (Seth)
I looked up from my tray of food as I turned to face Bella who simultaneously turned to talk to Alice, Rose and Jasper. I wanted to go over there right now and ask if any of them had heard anything from Shayne.
"Seth?" I turned to face Erin as she walked over from the table where the rest of my friends are sitting, "do you want to come sit with us?" she asked gesturing to the others who all gave a small wave before turning back to their conversation.
"No thanks," I said before returning to pushing my food along the plate with a fork.
"C'mon Seth, you got to stop acting like this. It's been over a year, you have to more on sometime."
"Please," I started as I felt tears appear on my face, "I don't want to talk about this; it still hurts too much."
"Please Seth; we want the old you back."
"You don't understand-" I replied before being interrupted by Erin.
"Exactly, you never explained it to us, we don't know how you can react this way to someone who you couldn't have known more than a month, two or three tops."
"I'm sorry," I said as I stood up and walked away, dumping my tray at the bins before walking outside looking at my watch on my wrist saw it was nearing the end of lunch and walked in the general direction of my next class inhaling the fresh pine air. I wish I could explain to Erin and the others why I had reacted how I had when Shayne had left me. But I couldn't without revealing the full reason for my sudden full blown love to Shayne, without referring to being a werewolf and the imprinting process.
I inhaled slightly again as my thoughts returned to Shayne, bringing along with his potent scent that appealed so much to me, weirdly growing stronger until it disappeared again along with the wind. It had happened quite a lot ever since Shayne had left; I knew he hadn't come back as the first few times I had tried looking for him. I had only found areas where his scent was so concentrated that it hadn't been washed away by the continuous rain, and when I had failed to find these areas I put it down to my mind playing tricks on me, and wishful thinking.
BPOV
English class with Miss Morgan was one of my favourite lessons, ever since my first day here just over a year ago when I first had her we had got on really well. Sitting at the back of the classroom, my eyes were averted down onto my notebook in front of me, with much practice my drawing skills had increased from stick men to drawing people with incredible detail. My current picture which I hadn't started too long ago was now forming into an incredibly detailed picture that only a vampire could draw of Edward in the sun from memory.
"Afternoon class," Miss Morgan said as she walked into the classroom
"Afternoon," I muttered along with the class as I kept my eyes on the drawing in front of me, continuing to add more detail.
"You can sit there next to Izzy," Miss Morgan, unlike Milla and Chris still called me by the name that I had introduced myself has. Like last year, the chair next to me was either saved for new students, who quickly moved when they found other friend in the class, or for the students that were misbehaving. I heard the chair next to be scraping across the floor as it was pulled out, the person next to me sitting down quietly tucking themselves in at the same time.
"Wow," I heard a familiar voice say, "I remember your stick men drawings seventy years ago," I turned to face whoever it was my mouth simultaneously dropping open with shock.
Who is it sitting next to Bella? (I had to edit what I wrote in the Document Manager as it didn't make sense and made it seem like someone from her human life) I think I made it pretty obvious, if no one guesses correctly I will be shocked :)
I should have asked this in the A/N on Chapter 20 of 100 Years On, but I forgot :S Anyway, how many of you liked the song I chose for Shayne to listen to in chapter 19? It's called "Hold on Me," by a band called Phixx. If you haevn't heard it before, I recommend you listen to it; as itis one of my favourite electro-pop songs.
Read and Review, tell me what you thought of the first chapter, and whether you want me to carry on :) Also, if you listen to the song I recomended, let me know what you think when you review this chapter :)
