So this is my third Twilight fanfic.... wow I never thought I would write that many.... I came up with this story because I read so many of 'what if Edward came back and Bella wasn't exactly welcoming him back with open arms?' and personally these stories sorta annoy me because Bella would never be angry at Edward like she is in most of those stories. Hurt yes, sad yes, anger no. So this story is how the problem is not between Bella and Edward, but between Bella's old and new families. If this is the first story of mine you've read then please read The New She-Wolf In Town because out of all my stories so far (not including this one) it is my favorite. Anyway enjoy and review!!!!

New Life In An Old Place

Bella POV

Forks really hadn't changed much in the last century. It was still cloudy, wet, and had way to much green. This place had so many painfull memories for me, but it was time I visited Charlie's grave and my La Push friends that never continued to age. Shane said that if I ever wanted to heal, I had to come back here, and when it comes to things like this Shane is always right. He said it would help to see my own grave to.

The day I left the house with my family to visit Charlie's grave it was raining, as if the sky was crying in my place. When we got to the cemetary I started shaking a little. Cassie, my best friend took my hand trying to tell me that she was there to help in anyway she could.

Cassie, or Cassandra as she's known to outsiders, was the first human I changed into a vampire and I never regreted it. She was 16 when I found her dying in a car wreck that had already killed her whole family, so I changed her to save her just like Carlisle used to do, and like him I partly did it because I was so lonely.

She had very good control as a newborn and it wasn't to long before she could walk in society as well as I could. It was just the 2 of us until she rescued Shane from his abusive parents and fell in love. When he became old enough to change and begged Cassie to change him, she did and they have been blissfully in love for the last 48 years.

8 years later we came across Brian, who after drinking himself silly and stumbling into the middle of a road, was on the brink of death. As a newborn he was uncontrollable and worse then I've ever seen, well that is until we lost controll of him for a second. In that second he attacked a blond haired beauty who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. That blond haired beauty became the most recent member of our growing family and Alexandra, or Alex as we call her fit in better with our family than we could've ever hoped. Alex calmed the raging beast of Brian's soul, forgiving him without question, and they were perfect for eachother. They reminded me so much of Rosalie and Emmett it was amazing, except Alex and I were very close. It is actually quite funny how because of their physical age they have to act as the parents in front of society when in reality they needed to be looked after more than Shane and Cassandra who were both changed at 16.

They all worried about how I was the only one without someone, but they understood when I told them of my past, after all vampires mate for life. I may have not been a vampire at the time, but they understood that my transformation didn't change anything, which ment it would always be him and no one else.

Sometimes I let my mind drift to the forbidden zone, where I wondered if he would want me now? After all, I was no longer human, and my shield ability made me special, so maybe? My chest started to hurt where my heart was no longer beating. Of coarse he wouldn't....

We always looked for the Cullens though, in every town we visited and stayed in, but so far we had seen no trace of them. Part of me always hoped that we would find them, but another part, the part that was scared of being rejected again, always was glad when we didn't.

When we got to the tombstones we had been looking for, I wished I could relieve the pressure behind my eyes, by crying. There was Charlie, his name, how he served as Fork's police chief, and his date of death. It was only a few years after the date of death on the tombstone next to his. Of coarse that tombstone belonged to me.

It broke my heart to see when he had died, when he still had another 30 or more years in him. That ment that he died not long after I left La Push. What had happened to Charlie that had caused such an early death?

The year of death on my own tombstone was exactly 100 years ago, little did Forks know that I was still very much alive, well okay undead.

It was then that I smelled them. Vampires. They had been here in this spot only a few hours before, about 3 of them, but because of the rain it could've been more.

I froze. What if these vampires were protective about their territory? Would it mean a fight if we tried to stay? Why had they been in front of these particular graves anyway?

"Bella what is it?" Cassie asked me with concern written across her face.

"There are other vampires in the area. They were here a few hours ago," I stated, still trying to figure what the best coarse of action would be.

They froze as they caught the scent of other vampires for the first time too. We were all statues until Brian, of coarse Brian spoke his opinion.

"We should go meet them, see if their friendly." By the look on his face as he said that I could tell he was hoping they weren't. Stupid overly aggressive guy.

He was right though, as much as I hated to admit it. If we wanted to stay in this town, we needed to meet with this coven and see how long they would be here and if they minded sharing the territory. Most likely their idea of territory would be the town though while ours would be the forest. It seemed strange to me though that they hadn't already come face to face with the La Push werewolves.

"We'll go visit now." I decided with a sigh. I wasn't looking forward to this, but we needed to get it over with.

We ran on foot, folowing the trail they scents created. It wasn't long before we reached a house (A/N – yes it's the Cullen's house, so since everyone already knows what it looks like I'm not going to bother describing it). This house sent a very sharp stab of pain through my heart, but I couldn't understand why.

I looked over to Shane, but he kept his head forward purposefully ignoring my gaze. This confused me. Shane had never ignored me before, something was going on and he knew all about it.

As we krept closer to the house warily a small figure rushed out of the door, sweeping her gaze rapidly over the lawn until her gaze fell on us. Strike that, I ment on me.

If I thought I wished I could cry before it was nothing like this moment. Of coarse I recognized that small, gracefull figure, with a head of spiky hair.

"Alice," I wispered.

She let out some sort-of pain filled sound, then she had barreld into me. There was the loud sound of our bodies coliding, but I couldn't of cared less.

"Bella! Oh Bella! I saw! I saw! I couldn't believe it! But here you are! Oh Bella!" She dry sobbed.

My body was locked down and I couldn't seem to react at all. Finally Alex let out an uneasy snarl, unsure of what to do.

"Bella? What's going on? Is she a Cullen?" Brian asked tensed to fight, unsure of what to do. When he spoke Alice finally raised her head, glaring at him.

At this point we had an audience no doubt curious about why Alice ran out of the house and was sobbing. I noticed a blonde vampire nearby with a lot of scars looking at Brian with worry. It was Jasper. I noticed others staring at us from the doorway.

The Cullen family really was back in Forks.... they were the ones at the cemetary....

"Yes Brian, you don't have to worry this is Alice Cullen." I wispered still trying to grasp the situation while calming down my coven.

"Bella are you okay?" Alice asked now looking at me with concern. "Bella? Bella?"

"Hold on she's just adjusting. This is hard for her." Shane said, stepping forward with Cassie not far behind.

Not even a second later Jasper and a big hulky looking vampire I realised was Emmett was between them and us.

"NO!" No, no, no , no ,no! I would not let anyone hurt my coven not even the Cullens! I was up, spreading my arms out behind me in a protective crouch, in front of Shane and Cassie while snarling at Emmett and Jasper.

Oh god kill me before I would ever EVER hurt any of the Cullens, but these vampires behind me were so much more than atopted family! They were like my children and God or no God I would never let anything hurt them!

Emmett and Jasper stared at me eyes wide like they couldn't believe what they were seeing. They probably couldn't. Afterall the last time they'd seen me I was nothing more than a pathetic fragile human, well not anymore.
