A/N: Yes this is another "Edward never came back" story. But it's also a "Lost Past" story for one of the Cullen's. In this story Bella knew about the wolves but she never really became best friends with Jacob. It starts when she's about to jump off the cliff.

Chapter 1- A Stranger on the Cliff

Stephenie's POV

I was looking for Viktor in the Washington Forests when I heard a noise to my left. Why is he by the cliffs? But as I got closer the smell was clearly not my companions. It was a girl, with dark brown hair.

She took a step towards the edge and I did something completely out of character. I ran to place myself between her and the cliff face.

"Who are you?" she gasped.

"Stephenie, please call me Steph. And your name would be?"

"Bella," she replied nervously.

"Sooooo…Bella…Why are you about to jump off the cliff? That's not the best way to pass your time." I joked waiting for her to explain.

Bella sighed and then the whole story came rambling out. From her moving in with her dad to her vampire boyfriend leaving her to meeting me.

"That's quite a life," I said. I was mad that anybody could hurt such a nice girl, "And you still want to be changed? After all that?"

"Yes, of course. Oh would you please change me?"

Her eyes were so filled with hope that I couldn't turn her down.

"Yes." I reached towards her and bit her neck.

She yelped in pain. I scooped her up and raced towards our home in Canada. She writhed in pain and screamed for the next few days.

Half-way through the second day Viktor showed up.

"You just had to change her!" he scolded.

"Yes I did! She had such a terrible life…and she felt like a sister or something! I couldn't let her kill herself, Viktor!" I retorted.

Viktor didn't question me farther, those were the exact things he'd felt when he changed me.

I was dying of the flu and my only care-taker, my brother, was off fighting in the war. Sadly, I met my brother again 92 years later. He'd been changed too. He'd also found his mate and they were going to live with their coven, otherwise I might have stayed with him. We keep in touch but I haven't seen him since 1953.

I searched through Viktor's head and found that there was still doubt about Bella. I knew he'd come around.

When Bella woke up we took her hunting and started our lives together.
