"Bella? Come on we're going to be late!" Leilia yelled
"Leilia! Calm down! With the way you drive we'll be there in five minutes!" I yelled back
"Bella, I know haven't seen him for eighteen hundred years, but you do have a new boyfriend. We all know you love Jay and that he loves you. But ever since you found out that that the Cullens we're back ….you just seem down, depressed. We know you loved him, we even know that you might still love him, but Edward left you can't just run back to him like eighteen hundred years haven't ever happened." Justine told me in her calm-rational voice."You're right. No more sulking. He left, it's his loss. I have a new love, and that is why I'm taking even more time trying to find a outfit that will have him wishing he didn't leave, and that Justin will love." I say, because I know that she's are right.I'm back in Forks after eighteen decades. Edward left when I couldn't say yes to marrying him before he changed me. Well he also left 'cause I ran-away to Los Angeles after he proposed. He finally stopped looking for me twenty years ago, when he saw my fake headstone in a Maryland cemetery.
Of course he also stopped because he found a newly changed girl that had a similar sent to mine from when I was still human. It only took me three months to come across three vampires, Justin, Leilia and Harsker. Justin is taller than Edward by several inches, lean and muscular. Basically a mix between all three Cullen boys. He's super funny but in an intellectual way. I love him and that's it. Justin is special with two talents. One being telekinesis the other knowing when a coven member is in danger. I had no clue that he, Edward, had been looking for me until we found Emmaline. Our covens own mind reader. Only thing is she can also know what a person is doing at that time. Well, she can basically know what they are thinking but also able to see through the persons eyes at where they are. She can also feel how they are feeling. Apart from Me, Justin and Emmaline, there is Leilia, Justine, Harsker(Kerry), Christine, Mason, Johnathan and Jerik. We are all coupled. Justine and Emmaline are twin sisters born in England around the late 1800's, changed by they're stepmother. Justine can talk to animals, this being her 'gift'.
Leilia was changed by her husband Harsker around 1923.Leilia can put and pull happy and sorrowful thoughts out of peoples heads, which is quit creepy when its actually used on you.Harsker doesn't know who changed him, but knows he was born in Canada, just after the French settled there. Harsker doesn't seem to have a gift yet, but we think it has something to do with his intellect. Christine and Johnathan found us. Chris is one of my best friends, the other being Leilia. Chris, born in England under the rule of Queen Elizabeth the first, found Johnathan in a hospital after being injured during the Revolutionary war. Christine and Johnathan can talk to each other in their minds and talk to other vampires with their minds, but those other people have to answer verbally. Jerik being the newest member was changed by Emmaline after she fell in love with him when we were in Europe at an Army base. Jerik, is a shape-shifter. He wasn't going to live so she changed him.
Of course that was just after a President Harrington was elected and ended the war in Iraq around 2011. Mason just showed up in January one day looking for Justine. Apparently they had known each other before the twins were changed. Mason is our future teller, and his visions are always a little clearer than Alice's are. As for me, well I haven't changed much. My eyes are always a crimson color, though I have no idea why since I eat only from animals. My favorite being Swans, ironic isn't it? No, it doesn't satisfy the thirst but it tastes the best. I have already been married to Justin three times. My hair actually changed from chocolate brown to midnight black.My naturally pale skin completely white. I'm now 5'8 instead of 5'4. We have no clue why, but it seems that inside of those three change days, my growth hormones kicked in and I sprouted four inches in height. Of course it may be just the fact that the last time I measured my height I vaguely remember having heels on and being drunk.
My gift being teleportation. I can think of any time anywhere and there I am. I can go into the future and into the past though I rarely do either unless it's a critical situation. "Bella? Bella? Hello? Miss Swan-Carter? Get your head out of the clouds girl! We are seriously going to be late, if you don't get your butt down there and into that car!" Christine is now shouting in my ear. She has on a outfit that Alice would probably not approve of. You see while the rest of us get our outfits together to make us look even more stunning than we already are, Chris likes to wear outfits that tone down the beauty, and even after all that trouble of trying to tone it down, when she's done getting ready she looks even better than we do because she tries to tone it down. "Oh, hey Chris. Damn, girl you look great!" I say taking in the red ancient styled 1970's bellbottoms, than fit loosely.
The T-shirt that she got at a flee market last weekend with the truest words ever in my book anyways "Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does, Love is a battle, Love is a war, Love is growing up"."Hey! You're back from lala land thank god. Thank you. But I've got to say you look great yourself. Edward is so going to wish he never left you. As Justin, I wouldn't bet against him being a little worried, I mean you've never dressed like that for him. He might get a little bit jealous. But I mean I love it. But we got to get moving if we want to get there early enough for you to rub it in Edwards face. I wonder if Alice knows we are at their school, much less the same town they are." That's Chris for you. Always talking, always thinking about things.But I do have to say I do look good in my black tank top with red writing that says " I don't bite, usually" that stops just above my Belly button, showing my belly piercing. My ultra Black pleated mini that sits about two inches under my belly button, meaning Im showing about four inches of unneeded flesh. That along with my thigh-high black stiletto three inch heels and I feel ( and probably look) like a smutty movie star. Which, by all means is my intention.
"Thanks, Chris. I just hope Justin doesn't flip out and demand I change.""Bells, yes he'll be jealous, but also happy that you're his and it wouldn't hurt if you remind him of that when we know that Edward notices you." She says matter-of-factly. We both crack up at that. When we are downstairs and in the living room where of course everyone is waiting, all I hear is gasps and a few whistles from Mason no doubt. I look up and they are all
staring at me and I swear I would have been tomato red if I was still human. Justin finally speaking after what seems like an hour goes by.B-Bella? How come you never dress like that for me?" He asks me with puppy eyes."Who says I didn't? I love you Justin, I just want Edward to wish he could die, instead of watching u and me be together." I say, walking over and giving him a passionate kiss."Now lets go. Who's driving?" I ask. Its going ton be too hilarious when Edward sees me. "Emmaline's taking the H2. We thought you and Justin should show up together alone. You two can take the Corvette." Jerik piped up. "Oh, thanks you guys. I love you people. Come on Justin" I said, grabbing the Corvette keys from the rack holding our many cars keys. "Coming, Dearest" He said with an excited grin on his face. As he got in I started the car and was at 150 mph before even getting out of the driveway. As you can probably tell I'm nervous and excited and just plain confused.

I sat there against my Silver Volvo waiting for first bell to ring. I was waiting for my love, and newest member of the Cullen clan, Kulpriya (Priya), when a Black with Neon Blue flames, Corvette screeched into the space a few spots down from my own. A gorgeous Girl in the driver seat along with a boy in the passenger seat. I couldn't help but notice that the girls eye were that of a crimson color, which was beyond normal, but this girl wasn't normal, no not normal at all, with the palest of pale skin color and black hair. She was inhumanly Beautiful, meaning one thing and one thing only, she was a vampire. I started to examine the guy next to her and saw that he too was a vampire. I tried to read the girls thoughts and found I was blocked which had only ever happened to me once before with my deceased soul mate, Isabella Swan. I looked into the boys thoughts and was only shocked by what I saw. Damn, I wish that she'd dress that way all the time! Bella, is so hot when she wants something. I just hope she doesn't go back to that Guy…what's his name again? Oh, yeah that Cullen boy that broke her heart three months before we found her…what eighteen decades ago? I don't think anything could
have made her any happier than to be changed. But being married to her has its advantages though…of course they aren't even that different…oh here come the rest of the coven…if only I could get my hands on that Edward Cullen, but Bells said not to do anything to him…………… No! It couldn't be! That girl is my Bella? No! She cant be alive! I saw her grave! Emmett interrupts my thoughts by saying "Hey, Edward. Listen to this... Apparently we have ten new students…all who are in the same family, although there is one couple that go by a different last name and a girl with an interesting name... Couple are Christine and Johnathan Blankton and you'll find this very interesting " A Miss Isabella Marie Swan-Carter" there is a guy named Justin Carter and The rest are Leilia, Emmaline, Justine, Harsker,Mason and Jerik all with the last names of Edwards. From, whoa, Rockville, Maryland." He says reading off a piece of paper but all my mind can comprehend is that Bella's, My Bella's, Last name is Swan-Carter and that the guy that must be at her side is Justin Carter. "So, Edward what do you think? Someone trying to impersonate Bella or a different vampire got her before you did?" Jasper snickers at me. "SHUT UP!" I growl, my eyes never leaving Bella. I just barely notice that a
Hummer Turbo has just pulled up next to Bella and that they are all already staring at me and my family.

"Bells? Have I told you how hot you look today? 'Cause I love this outfit on you." Justin asks me. I smile so no and noticing Edward has already noticed us kiss him passionately until I hear the Edwards and Blanktons pull up, in other words my family. "Ahem, Bella? Justin? You can at least try and hide that your married...people are looking, they are going to start thinking you've already done it when technically its illegal to before you're married, and you're not married technically, so you've got to stop, besides we have other things that need to be taken care of, like for one making sure Cullen over there knows you are back and taken who didn't leave you, who much to your liking also changed you which is another thing Cullen wouldn't do for you." Leilia whispers into mine and Justin's ears. "Fine" I say groaning...so who is going to tell him? Or are we just going to go up to them and introduce ourselves?" I ask not really liking either solution but I don't really have a say in this matter. "We figured we just go introduce ourselves, you know, be clueless about the whole ordeal" Justine puts in. "Ok...fine but can I just say Carter and not Swan-Carter? I don't want to kill him...just shock him a little." I say because even thought telling them that me and Edward are bound to have at least one class together and most likely the teacher will want me to introduce myself, that would be a bad idea. "Good, then now that that's decided lets go introduce ourselves to the Cullens." Mason says and starts to head over to Edward's new-modeled silver Volvo.
"Are you all coming or what?" He yelled at us and we got out of the car and walked over to the place where the Cullens stood. "Hello, I'm Mason Edwards and this is my family, we didn't know anymore of our kind were here. But it's a good thing that you are. Maybe you can help us out with stuff if we get stuck on something." Mason talked everyone else in my family and Jasper was staring at me, aware of how nervous I was. "Hello, I'm Alice Cullen and we would be honored to help you if you ever get stuck on anything. This is Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward and Priya. Who are the rest of you're family?" Well its nice to know that Alice is still her happy-go-lucky self. "Um...Emmaline why don't you start you can all go in a circle that way, ok?" Mason whispered to us. Him and Justin Share the title for lead man. "I'm Emmaline Edwards" "I'm Johnathan Blankton" "I'm Justine Edwards" "I'm Christine Blankton" "I'm Jerik Edwards" "I'm Leilia Edwards" "I'm Justin Carter" " I'm Isabella Marie Sw-Carter" I said quickly to catch myself before saying Swan aloud. "What was that you wee about to say? Before you said Carter" Edward asks shooting Justin a nasty look. "Oh, nothing. I just keep forgetting that that girl Isabella Marie Swan isn't me...we were best friends you know, before she died, back in Maryland. We were really close. I mean we had basically the same name, we looked a lot alike. But she was never really happy for some reason. I mean as close as we were she just couldn't tell me exactly why she sad...all she told me was that it seemed like her heart had been cut out of her body and then stomped on by some guy she had thought was her soul mate but little did she know she'd find someone else, someone who wasn't afraid to make her dreams come true..." I say putting a sad expression on my face. If tears could come I'd try and make them but it was worthless.
Bella! Get a hold of yourself, girl! He's not that stupid...no im not saying that you were stupid saying that, it was a really big, hard thing to do but it was also a huge guilt trip...we love you Bells...Chris I looked over at her and nodded slightly. "You knew Bella?" Emmett asked with a frown. I nodded at him. Just then the bell rang. "By hun, and don't forget you have to stay till lunch...don't go off school grounds, please babe?" I asked Justin before giving him another kiss. "Only if you swear you won't run off on me with some guy before lunch. I might end up like that Swan girl. All depressed and lonely until Tony came along, only I wouldn't fall in love again..." Justin said "I swear" I said. "Good" And he turned and went off down the hallway. "So what's been going on Miss. Swan? Or should we call you Mrs. Carter?" I looked back to two furious vampires, namely Alice and Edward. "I'd prefer Mrs. Swan-Carter, thank you very much, Alice. How did you two know it was me anyway?" I asked very pissed that I should have known and got away quicker. "Silly, Bella. You're husband gave it away. Plus, you about to introduce yourself as Isabella Marie Swan but caught yourself. Priceless. But tell me really why are you with them? Why aren't you dead and most importantly where did you come up with that outfit? Its adorable! I didn't know you had your belly button pierced!" I just laughed.
"I should have known...Justin is known to think about me way too much. I'm going to kill him! He really does need a good yelling at, about what he thinks about. That was a mistake and the skirt I got from Barney's in New York, Top: Custom-Made Silk-Screen T-Shirts in Maryland...boots I borrowed from Justine... I got the pierce the week after you all left." I say avoiding the question I know she's just going to ask me about again. "Oh, but that doesn't explain your grave in that cemetery in Maryland. Well you see about fifty years ago we found Emmaline and Justine. Emmaline has this gift that's cool and freaky at the same time. She can see and read your thoughts but can also see what you are doing, where you aren't it's like a little person in a big head and she can see through those persons eyes... it's pretty cool really." BELLA MARIE! Where are you? Justin is freaking out! You didn't go back to Edward did you? Please tell me you didn't because Justin would be so heart broken...WHERE ARE YOU!? We are going to wait for you 'till the end of lunch to show up...if you don't then you're screwed 'cause I know for a fact no one in this coven with let you back into the house. If you're not leaving call please. I really don't want to lose you. We all love you...Christine "Edward where are we going?" I ask "To our house. We need to talk and Carlisle and Esme would like to see you again." He answered "Ok, well then Alice can I use your cell? Mine's in my purse which Justine has" I ask, pleading with my eyes.
"Yes, of course. Here" She says cheerfully. I dial Justin's cell automatically. "Bella? Is that you? Why are you using a Cullen's phone? No, that doesn't matter, what matters is that you're alright. Bella? Babe, talk to me." His voice pleading " J-Justin H-h-help m-me please...they have me locked up help!" I say fake crying "Bella! Are you alright? Where? Where are you? I'll kill them!" I Laugh at the sound of him worrying. "Justin! Calm down I'm just kidding. Yes I am with Edward and Alice on the way to their place to say hi and because me and the Cullens have got to talk. I Love you all, I'll see you later, bye hun." And shut the phone handing it back to Alice. A few seconds later we are at their house and for once I'm happy with my gift. "Bella? What just happened?" Alice asks me
"Um...well when I'm really emotional I don't really have control over my gift. My gift being teleportation I can go anywhere, anytime. I can even go back in time and in the future. But I only go into the future when I need to. I mostly dwell in the past and present, literally. It still spooks me out sometimes. It's only out of control when I'm very emotional." I say, explaining my gift to her and a shocked Edward. They both just stare at me for what seems like an hour. "What? Is something wrong?"
I ask not liking the looks on their faces. "Um...nothing its just that that's called time travel...not teleportation. But you do have teleportation. Does anyone else in your coven that has more than one power?" Alice asks thinking. "Yes, Justin does" I tell her, earning a growl from Edward. "Telekinesis and he can sense when any member of our coven is in danger. Why?" I ask curiously. "Oh...just because it could have something to do with genes and whatnot. Justin changed you right? Has he changed anyone else In your coven?" She asked, getting another growl from Edward. "Yes he change me, according to Leilia he never left until the three days were up and even then he wouldn't let me out of sight...come to think of it he acted a lot like Edward did when he changed Priya. Interesting, but it was kind of creepy knowing that the only room I wasn't being watched was in the bathroom. They kept watching my every move for three weeks. I don't think Justin wanted to lose me...he's always been afraid I'll run off and get killed like..."
Deep breath Bella, deep breath... "Like...like Sophia did. He didn't love her, she didn't really love him, but he bit her anyways...unlike Edward, over here, he bit she asked thinking they loved each other. As soon those three days were up, Leilia, Harsker, Justin and I all went hunting, when we got back she was gone. It took him a day to get over her leaving. Of course after that he started crushing on me, I was a human, I take him just then, heck, I was still hoping all of you would come back. Leilia helped ease the pain away her power, which is similar to Jasper's. She can pull the bad memories out of your head so you never remember them or she can just tuck them in a tiny space where you may come across them later on in life but doubtful...she can do the same thing with happy memories except she can only put happy memories in, can't take them out. She took the memory of Edward saying goodbye and put it in a "file" marked with all of the other painful memories. I come across it sometimes but never really pay much thought to it anymore. Besides," I said turning my body to Edward, "Edward, you leaving was the best thing that you could have done to me" I say, meaning every last word because if it hadn't been for him leaving I wouldn't know or would have seen half of what I already have. I look up to see him staring at me with a shocked expression on his face.
"What? What do you mean by that? You don't honestly think that you don't love me anymore do you? You can't possibly feel that way, Bella!" He says with a little more force than needed. "Alice? Can I please talk to you brother alone?" I ask her and she nods, walking outside. "Edward" I say with a sob, "I never said I didn't love anymore, I simply implied that I had moved my life, and you need to too. I sent Priya to you to try and ease some pain of losing me. As much I love you, I can't help but feel like I belong with Justin right now, and with me goes my heart, though you will always have a place in it, you may not always place in my life, and you need to accept that, because until you do you will always, always that hole in your chest. You need to find someone you can love,
even if you can't love them as much as me, you need to find a new love, and Bella Marie Swan Carter! PLEASE tell me you haven't told Edward you still love him! Please! That's the only way Justin won't be there to kill him. You can't hurt him like Sophia did! You just can't. THINK EMMALINES NAME AND TELL HER WEITHER OR NOT YOU'VE TOLD HIM OR NOT!!—Chris. So that's what I did and I told them I did tell Edward I still loved him, but that I also love Justin more than I've ever loved Edward. Also, Emm, keep him put until I get there in one minute, please. Love you, thanks. "Bella? Are you alright?" Edward asked me, while walking towards me. I held up my hand, as if to tell him no,but that didn't stop him from picking me up and carrying me to the couch. "Edward, let me go! I have to go or else Justin is going to flip!" I say. Grateful that he put me down, I tell him to stay back and snap my fingers and I'm home. Unfortunatly, at the last second he grabs my wrist and is teleported, with me, back to my covens house.
