Summary- Bella wasn't real, neither was Charlie. The Cullens noticed certain things when James kidnapped Bella but they never questioned it. What happens After the Cullens leave? Who will Bella become? (FYI normal vampires with fangs, eyes are sensitive to sunlight but it won't kill them. Silver weaponry and decapitation can kill them)
Prologue
Flashback BPOV
I crawl backwards my hands catch on broken glass from a broken mirror. The vampire, James, just continues to walk slowly forward like a cat stalking its prey. My heart is pounding in my ears and I know he can hear it as clearly as if it was his own dead heart. A lazy smile slinks across his face as he gets close enough for me to see his black eyes. I bring my hand up to look at and see it covered in blood. My eyes lock back onto his. He lunges at and grabs my hand in his iron grip. Fangs pierce my hand avoiding any glass shards left behind. The phone rings behind us echoing off the glass.
The receiver beeps. "L'orologio batte le cinque."
Any trace of fear disappears from my mind. I bring my other hand comes up and hits him in the throat sending him back. I can see the shock in his eyes as he notices to change in my behavior. I pick up a glass shard and, as he returns, stab him in his shoulder. He falls back again and I take the time to run out the back door. I know he has lost as much blood as he's taken from me and that the sun will blind him if he comes all the way out. I circle around as he comes out. He flinches and I know he can't see me, so I run into the studio and lock the door.
"L'orologio batte le dodici."
James's hand crashes through the door and I scream. He's back on me as soon as possible. His fangs find the spot on my hand and begin to drain me dry. Seconds later Edward crashes through one of the high windows and James throws me into the mirrors. Pain explodes through me and the glass shatters splintering and cutting into my back. My head hurts from the fall so I can't catch what they're saying but I know they're trading threats and insults. Cool hands brush across my head and around my other wounds. Carlisle tends to me as Jasper and Emmett help Edward with James.
"Bella, we're going to get you to a hospital, so just stay with me…" as he says that I black out.
I wake up to the stale smell of hospital cleaners and sharp medicines. Edward is talking to Rose and Carlisle and I can just make them out. I keep quiet and pretend to be asleep for a little bit longer so I can listen.
"I'm just saying it's a little weird. He was in bad shape, Edward, and, you were there, the only scents in there were Bella's and James's. They were alone meaning she did that to him, you shouldn't trust her." Rose says.
"You just don't like her, Rose, you never liked her." Edward says angrily.
"Calm down, both of you. If Bella did anything it was probably out of a mix of adrenaline and fear. For now, let's let her recover and see if she remembers doing anything she feels comfortable talking about."
L'orologio batte le cinque-The clock strikes five.
L'orologio batte le dodici-The clock strikes twelve.
