--I know, I know. I shouldn't be starting a new story. But this one and my other two are goingto be top priority. The other ones are ones I write when I have writers' block. Anyways, I'm writing this one because MY computer's motherboard is shot (for the SECOND TIME) because I leave it on for weeks at a time XD. Anyways, I'm writing this on my little sisters PC, so updates will only be once per day. Sorry. Lol. My brothers GF is back in town, so my PC may not get fixed until the weekend.

BE WARNED: I do not know if this story would be considered an AU (because I have no idea what that means), but just be warned and DO NOT flame me about it in future chapters. (I don't want to give anything away)

Setting: This story STARTS 17 years after Edward leaves in New Moon

Summary: After Edward left, Bella was changed by Laurent soon after she has a baby. 16 years later, Alice returns. What will unfold? (Summary sucks…)

Chapter 1: Volvo

Bella looked up into the charcoal colored sky through the dark tinted windows of her silver Ford '97 Taurus. She shook her head as her eyes returned to the road. She drove incredibly fast - ninety miles an hour - so that she could get to the school as fast as she could.

Pulling up to the front of the main entrance, Bella grabbed the keys and jumped out of the car. As she walked to the office, students on lunch break stared at her. She walked into the office and looked at the clock. Madison would be at lunch right about now.

"Can I help you, Bella?" A kind, older looking woman behind the huge mahogany desk asked, peering over her glasses.

"Oh, yeah, I'm here to sign out my daughter." Bella walked over to the sign out sheet she had seen several times - some on better occasions than others.

"Do you need me to call her to the front office?"

"No, thank you." Bella's tone changed mid sentence. "I know exactly where she is." She gave the old lady a smile as she turned on her heals and walked out the door.

She felt more stares as she walked through the hallways. Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see girls divert their eyes, while some even scooted closer to their boyfriends. She sighed as she saw the group of friends that encircled her daughter.

They weren't the worst kids in the school. But they weren't the best. Madison was wearing black - black nail polish, black tights, dark wash jean mini skirt, a tight black shirt with Jack Skellington on it, and black eye make up. Black, black, black. Her boyfriend, Christopher, with his black baggy jeans and long hair, was not the best boyfriend for Madison, but he wasn't the worst one she could have.

Christopher was a good kid. It's not like he did weed or anything, but it's not like he would care if he did or not. He does care about his grades, Madison does not, but he's not worried about what college he wants to get in - something a junior should know.

"Good lord mom," Madison complained as I walked up to them. She had been sitting on Christopher's lap outside at a picnic table. "Can you be more paranoid, please!?"

"Madison, just get in the car…unless you honestly want to stay for another three hours." Madison turned and started to kiss Christopher good-bye. After nearly ten seconds, I grabbed her by the collar and began to drag her away from the small group.

Madison groaned as she got into the car. Bella started the engine and watched as the rain started to come down.

"Crap, crap, crap!" Bella shifted the gears and pulled out of the parking lot. She sped up to 100 miles an hour and raced through the cars on the highway. "Almost there…" she mumbled. Just when she thought she was clear, she started to slow down a little, going the usual human speed.

"Mom, calm down. I don't even know why you pull me out of school when it rains. I mean, you can't even go out in the light."

"You know exactly why. I don't want to risk it..." She growled in a hushed tone.

She could see the edge where the rain stopped. Just as she was about to speed up to get there faster, a silver glint caught her eye.

"Madison, when did they stop making Volvos?" She asked hesitantly, not taking her eyes off the car directly behind her. She strained to see the driver, but she could only see the hood from where it was positioned.

"Um, four or five years ago; they're kind of rare now - something to do with a malfunction in the steering system. Not a lot of them left." She replied, taking down her long, dark bronze-brown hair.

"See if you can see what the driver in the Volvo behind us looks like." Madison stared at her mother as if she had just asked her to fly. "Just do it!"

Madison rolled her eyes and climbed over the seats to get a better view. She studied the female driver. "Short cropped black hair. She's kind of short. Can just barely see over the dash…" She chuckled. "Her skin is really pale. Either albino or…"

Realization flashed across her face as she climbed into her seat in the front.

"You didn't honestly think it was…" Bella nodded. They were in the sun now. She looked back in her mirror. The Volvo was still there. "Maybe it's not them. Go down a random exit and see if they follow."

Bella took an exit that led to a small abandoned town. The Volvo did too.

She sped up and then slammed on the brakes, turning the car around.

The Volvo kept on going. As the car passed, she saw the driver clearly.

"Alice…" She had seen the surprised look on Alice's face. She kept on driving. "She should have seen that move coming…"

"Mom, who's Alice?" Bella had forgotten that when she told Madison of the Cullen's, she didn't use names.
