Hey just a warning the timeline is a little bit messed up in this story. If you have any ideas or comments please comment and I will be sure to take them into consideration. Thanks and enjoy.
Edward hasn't been the same since my 'birthday' party. Jasper attacked me and now Edward is going a-wall. If I didn't love him so much we'd be broken up by now. But I haven't loved someone like I love him since forever. It sucks that I have to lie to him though. It sucks that I have to pretend to be some weak little human. I could have torn James, Victoria, and Laurent to pieces in that clearing. I wouldn't have had to compel the doctors to do exactly what I said or send a make up artist to my hospital bed. Let's just say I would've ditched Forks, Washington a long time ago if it wasn't for Edward and my need to live a small normal uneventful life for a few years.
But I just sigh and pull into my driveway. I frown when I see Edward parked in Charlie's spot. It means he isn't staying, I wonder how long this will last. This Edward that I didn't fall in love with. The withdrawn Edward that barely talks to me. He opens the door to my truck and I hand him my bag and then get out like usual. I frown when he shoves it right back into my truck, that is not normal.
"Come for a walk with me," he said flatly without any trace of emotion. I looked at him and put my hand in his in a silent yes. He led me to my backyard and into the woods on a small trail. We kept walking until we were deep in the woods. He stopped suddenly and walked around so that he was facing me. He bent down and kissed me on the forehead his face in a mask of pain.
"Bella I love you, but I also love my family." He said his voice so full of heartbreak. "I did it here she is, leave my family alone," he shouted. Then I heard clapping slow and loud with a hint of arrogance, and my face went blank. No emotion or even the slightest hint to show I'm somewhat alive.
"Brilliant if I do say so myself." Purred a voice I'd know from anywhere. My hand whipped out and slapped Edward.
"Why would you do this to me?! I loved you! Key word being loved." I shouted out as Nik grabbed my arms and held me back from tearing Edward to shreds.
"He was going to kill Carlisle and the rest of them if I didn't hand you over." He said unemotionally, but I saw the signs of sadness, and pain under his facade. I bit my lip and went into action first I kicked Nik in the groin using my right heel soon followed by an elbow as soon as his grip lessened. He fell and I took off running back to the house. I ran upstairs and shoved my stuff into a bag. I wrote a quick note to Charlie thanking him for the hospitality and explaining that I won't be coming back for a while. I grabbed one of the wooden stakes I kept in my room just as there was a loud banging at the door.
It was Nik I smiled enjoying the look on his face that he always gets when something he wants is just out of reach. I turned revealing the stake that was promptly shoved right through his heart. He turned gray and looked really dead. I threw his body into the woods and took off again it'd be only an hour or two until he is after me again. I went to the Cullen's house and rapped on their door daring them to answer. Sadly Edward was the one they sent I thought they'd be smarter. I grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the wall he pushed me into not too long ago. The I was holding him against the wall.
"Why in hell would you do this to me! I spent most of my life running from him. I thought you loved me, I was stupid enough to love you," I yelled then Emmett and Jasper were there trying to pull me off him. I didn't budge though, I'm an original why would I? "Oh just give up already boys I'm much older than you and much stronger than you too."
"What are you going to kill me?" Edward managed. I smiled and shook my head.
"Oh no, I'm going to make you live with this the rest of your life. You won't be able to forget me, what you made me go through. Every time you close your eyes you will see my face. You will keep on surviving remembering the girl who loved you, whose heart you tore to shreds, and it will kill you every moment of every day. Your life will be a living hell in which you can't escape," I compelled him easily. Then I threw him into Emmett and grabbed Jasper's arm that was still trying to restrain me.
"Get out of here, if Nik finds you then he'll kill your whole coven. I'm sorry for what happened and my involvement, but if he finds you, you will all die." He nodded and got everyone moving I was just about to head out myself when Alice skipped to a stop in front of me.
"I had a vision about you, it was different from usually more concrete but very vague. It's time to stop running." She trilled and then she was gone. I took off again and made it to the bottom of their deck when I was knocked over and someone shot me with a good dose of vervain more than any vampire could take but I'm not any vampire. I pushed whoever knocked me down off me and was caught with another needle of vervain. I heard the crunch of bones and then faded away.
My eyes fluttered open and I was instantly aware of Edward's absence. I shook my head remembering what went down the other day and I jumped up onto my feet and looked around. It looked like the cabin of a plane, but the seats were made from a blonde leather and very comfortable looking. However it was empty. There are two pilots and a two flight attendants toward the front of the plane. Then he stepped into the cabin. I felt my muscles contract and my fangs slide out from my gums. It felt good, I haven't bared my fangs since I moved to Forks about a year ago. I turned and snarled daring him to take another step closer
He just grinned and looked at me with his mischievous blue eyes. Then he was right in front of me barely a centimeter away. I glared at him and froze when he pushed a strand of hair out of my face I let out a breath and retracted my fangs. He let a breath out and sent shivers went down my spine. He moved his hand to the back of my head and closed the space between us catching my lips in his. He molded his lips to mine and I sighed and welcomed the familiarity. Eventually I reclaimed what was mine and kissed him back. He was home, my real home or at least was a long long time ago. He wouldn't leave me, he didn't leave me, he was my survival, but I left him. He was my best friend, but his brother was my life, until he broke my heart. I pulled away finally gasping for air.
"Why so sad?" he asked picking me up off my feet and sitting down on the couch. I didn't realize I was crying until he wiped a tear away. I shook my head and then buried it in his shoulder. The shoulder that was always there to cry on. He didn't bug me for answers and just held me and let me cry. But all good things must come to an end. "Why were you in Forks anyways?" It was an innocent question, but I heard the hint of jealousy that was under it.
"It was the only place I could go where I wouldn't be followed by a bunch of supernatural crap. The supernatural stuff I found was just a bunch of bull. I was going to move on soon, I knew you'd find me sometime, beg me to come back with you. I was hanging out with Kol until you daggered him. And you still wonder why I made a point to run from you the past six hundred years. So I escaped found a town barely on any maps and decided to be human, I was about to give up on that charade when I met Edward. I fell for him, but as we both know, love is a vampire's greatest weakness."
He nodded and yelled something to one of the flight attendants. Then one of them came rushing out with two glasses of red wine. She looked at both of us waiting for approval eyes wide and clearly showing her fear. I rolled my eyes fighting my instinct to drain her of all her blood and kill her that was slowly creeping it's way back into my mind now that I was released from the human act. She wandered away after a look from Klaus and I lost the chance to change my mind and have a sip, I needed one, getting shot with large doses of vervain drains you of your energy and blood is a vampire's lifeline. I took a sip of the wine and smiled when it tasted sweet, laced with blood he remembers how I like it. I drained the glass and got up and moved to a seat on the other side of the cabin away from Nik.
He doesn't protest this and let's me go, but his eyes never leave me. He may try to be discreet about it but I knew he was watching. He was always watching me, ever since we first met. My mother didn't trust their family, sometimes I wish my father didn't introduce our families, but overall I wouldn't change the fact we did. It would've saved me many heartbreaks, and all this supernatural drama but I am my experiences. I must've zoned out because when Nik stood up and grabbed my arm I nearly jumped out of the plane.
"We are landing, can I trust you not to run away?" I rolled my eyes and remained seated and watched the plane land on a small airstrip in the middle of nowhere. One of the flight attendants came in to tell us we could leave the plane and I gave up on behaving. She was drained of her sweet blood in a matter of seconds. I wiped my mouth on my wrist and ignored the smirk Nik was giving me and skipped down the short flight of stairs. He beat me to the car and held the opened the door for me. I stepped in unimpressed. The Mikealson's were always over the top when possible. No doubt we were on our way to the mansion they are settled in right now.
"Tonight there is a council meeting, I need your help to get my family back." He said speeding down the road away from the air strip.
"What do you mean by family and getting them back?"
"Kol, Finn, Rebekah, Elijah, and... and my mother." I froze and shook my head rapidly.
"No! Your mother tried to kill me, you should know you're the one that I was killed for! If she finds out you know what or becomes not dead I'll be the first one on her hit list!" I shouted at him causing him to swerve the car.
"She won't find out, and she won't rise again. However the people that have the coffins are most likely trying to open it, if they do she gets released and we both are dead. are you going to help me or not?" I looked at him, and finally nodded.
"What's the plan?"
"I need you to watch over Elena for me, make sure Stefan doesn't do too many stupid things. My hybrids and I will handle everything else." I narrowed my eyes and he looked over and smiled at me.
"Did you break the curse that lost me all chances at a human life?"
"Yes and I also killed my father for good." He said obviously pleased. I smiled and looked out the window at the town we were now surrounded in. I recognized it immediately, Mystic Falls, my home town, it's changed a lot but I've always managed to come back periodically. He pulled over in a parking spot and pointed to two girls and a guy a few steps behind them walking down the sidewalk near a school. "Elena is the doppelganger by the way, not as pretty as you of course, but very similar."
"Yay I get to practice my acting skills." I said unenthusiastic. She was walking to a car with some African american girl and a blond boy they were holding a bunch of signs that looked like a unicorn threw up on them. The other two of them walked away and I opened the door and jumped out of the car when Nik wasn't looking. I was sitting in her passenger seat when she sat down. She turned to me and jumped about a foot in the air.
"Katherine." She gasped, I pursed my lips like I just ate a warhead for the first time in years and was remembering how sour they were.
