Hey guys. I know, I know...I still have We're Not Monsters, Destined for Immortality, Chased To My Soulmate, and Heroes of Twilight to complete but this story and many others have been nagging at the back of my head and I have to try and at least start them. This story will be in Bella's POV and I got my inspiration and many aspects in this story from the story Reaper Twins by BiteMyTongue in the Twilight/Vampire Diaries section.

Disclaimer: I, in no way shape or form, own Twilight. If I did, many things would be different.

It's been a year since the Cullens left me alone and it still surprises me to this day how Edward could leave me how he did. I mean, he left me in the woods for God's sake! I thought I meant more to him than that. I changed who I was for him so he'd be happy. I'm a shy person, yeah, but once you get to know me, I'm funny, sassy, mischievous, and fun to be around. I held back so much for him because I thought he genuinely loved me like he'd claim to every day. I even let him climb through my window at night and tolerated him watching me sleep. Who the hell does that? It's creepy and a total invasion of privacy, in my opinion.

In the year that's gone by, I pushed myself to my limits and graduated at the top of my class. I was sad when the Cullens left me, all but Edward without a goodbye, but I couldn't let it ruin my life. Now, I'm taking my pre-recs online so I can spend another year with Charlie. I didn't get to spend much time with him after I met Edward, so I want to spend as much time with him as I can before I go to college.

Right now, I'm walking through the forest, tripping every so often on a fallen branch or a raised root. I've gotten better control of my balance issues, so I can go hiking more. Hell, I'm happy just being able to walk without constant fear of glomping the ground. Over the course of the year, since I've been walking more, I've lost the remainder of my baby fat and I feel more comfortable in my body now that I'm more physically fit.

I walk out to the middle of a clearing, wondering briefly if I'll ever find the meadow Edward would take me to. The beauty of it is still fresh in my mind. I sit on the ground in the middle of the clearing, the grass tickling my palms. With a sigh, my mind goes over my life thus far. Renee didn't want a kid; she said that a child would be too much of a burden and she wouldn't tolerate that. But Charlie was persistent and so they compromised and adopted me at 5 years old. Charlie and Renee divorced a couple of months after and Renee got custody of me. From then on, I became Renee's little servant girl while she went out and partied. When I turned 17, she married Phil and he saved me by taking her away so I was forced to move in with Charlie.

I'd get to visit my dad during the summer and every other Christmas, but Renee wouldn't allow any more than that. Charlie would always try and make me feel like a kid rather than the small adult Renee would treat me as. He'd buy me presents, play dress up with me, have tea parties...he's the reason I had a childhood at all. I remember once, when I was about 6 or 7, he and I were playing dress up and the doorbell rang. Charlie had to answer the door in a tiara, make up covering his face, and fake eyelashes on his eyes. I've never seen Billy or Jacob laugh that much since.

Jacob...he was the bandage over my heart after Edward and his family left. He held me together after the initial abandonment. Then he had to go and rip off the bandage in one swift motion by ditching me to be in Sam's gang. I think his leaving broke my heart more than Edward's. He was my best friend, my protector...but he left. He made his choice, you know? Nothing I can do to change that now.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I've always been an insecure person. I always thought my insecurities would hold me back, but so far, they've been spot on. They told me that Edward and his family would abandon me. All but Rose and Jasper. Rose never pretended to like me; she was always straight forward with her dislike. I can tell it was just because of my insistence that Edward change me, and I can honestly say that I don't blame her. I was so enamored with him that I didn't think through what I was really asking for. Jasper, on the other hand, kept his distance from me so he wouldn't lose control and drain me dry. He tried so hard, I can't hold him responsible for anything that happened. I still love them, but everyone except Jasper and Rose lost my trust.

Before I can get much farther into my thoughts, I'm pinned down by a bubbly girl who looks no older than 17. She has the same brown eyes as I do and she's just as pale, but her hair is black with red tips. She looks like she dipped her hair in blood. I can tell she dyes it, her roots are showing her natural hair color as brown, but it's a good look for her. Wait...she looks familiar. My eyes widen as I take her in.

"Elizabeth?"

Her face breaks into a grin and she hugs me tight. I waste no time in reciprocating. "Isabella! It is you!"

See, I wasn't born an only child. I have an older brother, Josiah (but we call him by his middle name, Hunter), and a younger sister, Elizabeth (but we call her Eliza). Hunter was 7 and Eliza was 3 at the time. As I said, Renee didn't even want me, nevermind two other children. So I got adopted and never saw my siblings again...until now, anyway.

"Ease up, you two. Do you wanna morph together or something?" I'd know that voice anywhere, even though it's deeper than I remember.

I break from Eliza enough to look at Hunter. He has our natural chocolate hair and his eyes are like chocolate syrup mixed with a drizzle of caramel from our dad. He's pale, like us, and his hair is neatly trimmed on the sides but grown out some on top, like Matthew Lush. I notice a tattoo on both of his wrists...my name and Eliza's.

I have a tattoo as well, though I had it done after the Cullens and Jacob left me. It's on my collar bone and it's of my family name: Kane. Josiah Hunter Kane, Isabella Marie Kane, and Elizabeth Kalee Kane. Our mother died a year after having Eliza. Her body wasn't supposed to be strong enough to have one kid, much less three. Her body shut down little by little and eventually, it just gave out completely. I don't remember much about her, but I remember she was an amazing mother to all of us. We spend two years after she passed in Foster Care and eventually, I was adopted by Charlie and Renee. You know the rest. I didn't tell the Cullens or anyone because I didn't think it was all that important. I mean, what could anyone do? It's in the past, you can't change it now.

"You'd only have one sister to deal with if that happened." Eliza says, sitting sideways on my lap. She doesn't let go of me, but I'm not gonna protest.

"Where's the fun in that though?" Hunter smiles, sitting behind me so I'm between his legs and his arms are around my middle. If I wasn't so hellbent on never letting go of Eliza, I'd tackle my big brother and attach myself to his side.

"How did you guys know where I was?" I ask, leaning back against Hunter.

"When you got adopted...Eliza followed a few weeks after., She was adopted by these two men who took very good care of her. They let me visit her whenever I could and treated me like I was family, but they didn't want a son. I bounced around from home to home, but never got adopted. When I was 16, I got emancipated by telling the judge both of my biological parents were dead...but Dad...he found me shortly after..."

Before I could even utter a sound, Eliza took over. "They found me and explained the situation to my dads, who were sad to see me go but understood. We were all on our way to find you, but Dad had to leave before we got here. He's very busy and can only come visit for short periods of time..."

My siblings share a look I know all too well; one Edward and Alice would share when it came to something they weren't sure I could handle. This makes me upset, but I just take a deep breath and let it out slowly. I feel the some of the weight lift from my chest, making me lighter in a way. "Whatever you two aren't telling me, you better say it. I've had enough secrets from my ex boyfriend, I don't need them from my brother and sister too."

They look a little startled at my well controlled hostility, but it's Eliza that speaks. "We're Reapers...Hunter and I weren't sure exactly how to tell you so you wouldn't freak out..."

Okay, the natural response to finding out you're a Reaper is to freak out, like Eliza said...but I dated a vampire for the better part of a year. Normal is pretty much a response I don't know how to give.

So to say my siblings are shocked when I laugh is an understatement. "Looks like I know where my lack of self-preservation comes from now."

"You're not freaking out?" Hunter states, though it comes out as a question.

"I dated a vampire, Hunter. Nothing can truly freak me out anymore." The response falls from my lips before I can stop it and when I realize what I said, I'm looking at an angry Eliza who's eyes are locked on the bitemark James left.

"Isa...tell us everything that's happened since you moved in with Charlie..." Hunter says, angrily eyeing my mark as well.

So I tell them. How Edward would avoid me at first then eventually let himself get closer, how I figured out what he was, dating him, the incident in Port Angeles, the baseball game, James, Edward and his family leaving, Jacob holding me together than stepping on my heart, everything. By the time I'm done, Hunter looks murderous and Eliza looks like she's trying not to track Jacob and the Cullens down to torture them.

"How could they just leave you like that? Did they not know what they had when they had it?" Hunter growls out, closing his eyes and using the breathing technique I used. I can feel his grip tighten around me and it looks like he's mouthing lyrics to a song. Ever since we were little, he would use song lyrics to keep himself calm.

Eliza looks at me, eyes shining with barely contained rage. "Hunter's right. Jacob I get, but vampires are supposed to be smart. They sure made a stupid mistake for supposedly being the superior race."

I't's in the past, guys. Can't change it. Anyways...how are we Reapers?"

"Dad's Death..." Hunter manages, whispering the words now. It sounds a lot like "Love Bites" by Halestorm.

This catches me off guard. Our father...is Death? The Death?

"Okay, so what makes Reapers so special? Aside from the fact that our father is Death."

Eliza loses some of her rage and smiles again. However, her eyes are alight with murderous intent and I just know she's thinking about all the ways she can torture the Cullens and Jacob. "We haven't unlocked your Reaper gene yet, so you can't do many of these things. However, a Reaper is immortal, we can't die. Ever, no matter what. We can conjure things, it's like magic but not quite. Only inanimate objects like weapons or a lamp. Nothing big like a house, but bigger things like a bed or a body pillow are fine. We can shadow travel, which is like teleporting but using the shadows to transport you and whoever you're in contact with somewhere else. It drains you a little bit and the first few times you get nauseous, but it gets easier. The Death Touch, as Dad calls it, is pretty self explanatory. Touch someone and they die, but only if you want them to. Dad also named this one, it's called True Face. You know Tamsin from Lost Girl, how when she shows her valkyrie face it's half skull and it strikes fear into her enemies' hearts? Kinda like that, only our faces don't actually turn into skulls. It's only an illusion we put in someone's mind. We can bring someone back to life, but it messes with the balance of nature. It should only be used in extreme situations or if Dad says it's not their time yet. We can turn someone back into a human if we want, but it has to be something that's not genetic, like vampirism or a werewolf who wasn't born one. We can manipulate our age, so one minute you can be 42 and the next 14. It's handy when you're pretending to be human. We can talk to ghosts, as long as they haven't passed on to the other side. The only way to talk to a ghost on the other side is to be at their grave on the day they died."

Hunter continues on, seeing that Eliza needs a break from talking. His eyes are still closed, his chin on my shoulder and his head leaning against mine. "We have wings, though the colors only range from black, grey, and white. Eliza's are white with grey tint and mine are grey with white tips. Healing things transfers the injury to you, but with our immortality it's not a problem. Compulsion is a trait we share with the traditional vampires, it's basically like mind control. Telepathy only works between us Reapers and Dad. We can generate and control the elements. We have heightened senses with the strength and speed of a vampire. We're also immune to all supernatural talents and qualities. So you wouldn't have turned into a vampire, even if that asshole tried to change you. That pretty much sums it up."

They give me a few minutes to let everything sink in. That explains why Edward couldn't read my mind and why Alice had trouble seeing my future. They wouldn't admit it, but my future's always been fuzzy to Alice. I wonder if it'll disappear completely when my gene's activated...only one way to find out.

"Will it hurt?"

"Hmm? Will what hurt?" Eliza asks, sitting up and looking at me confused. She had her head on the shoulder not occupied by our older brother.

"When you unlock the gene. Will it hurt? The process of changing into a vampire feels like someone injected you with liquid fire mixed with the sensation of liquid nitrogen poured on dry ice is being dragged across your skin. I just wanna know what to expect."

This makes the murderous look flash in Eliza's eyes again and I feel Hunter mouthing song lyrics again. "No. You'll just feel like you're sleeping. During which your body will develop and adapt to the new gene. Shouldn't take longer than 2 or 3 days."

"Okay, let's go back to Charlie's. I'm sure he'll understand. Like your dads, Eliza."

We get up and Hunter grabs my hand. My world goes black and I panic internally until I remember his hand is still holding onto mine. A few seconds later, we're in my room.

"Was that shadow travel?" I ask, my eyes adjusting to the sudden light after pitch blackness.

"Yeah. Now lay down. We'll talk to Charlie while you're under." Eliza jokes, pulling back the covers.

I do as she says, a little nervous but mostly excited. I feel Hunter touch my forehead and next thing I know, I'm out like a light.

Enjoyed it? I've been wanting to write this for a while. Like I said, this is a Bellice story. Also, my cousin and I have the first chapter of our original story up on Wattpad. My username's IllegitPrincess (if you hadn't already guessed haha) if you wanna check it out. She's the one who drew the cover art for Chased To My Soulmate. I think that's it...hasta luego, mi pastelitos. Good damn bye
