My Healer's Sunshine
Chapter One:
"Uncle Bill," Bella said, smiling slightly once she spotted her uncle at the bus station, in the town of Forks.
Bill was a tall man, so fairly easy to spot. At 6"5 he stood out quite nicely, from the small crowd that had gathered at the station. He still wore his Police Uniform which indicated he was still on duty that day. He had brown eyes, like her dad and herself, but unlike the eyes of her dad that were always smiling, his tended to be quite guarded. As if it held many secrets. She sighed, she couldn't fault him for that, she guessed in some ways she was more like her uncle than her own father. A lump started forming in her throat, as she thought about him.
But she was shaken out of the moment when she felt herself being hugged tightly by the tall man. "Bella, I am so glad you decided to come."
"Of course, how could I have missed out the chance of spending more time with my favourite uncle?"
They both knew, though she liked visiting him, this was not the reason she was here in this small town of Forks. But she knew her uncle, appreciated the effort. Much like her father, he was never good at handling emotional woman. She smiled again when she heard his deep chuckle.
"Bells, you say the sweetest things," he said simply, grabbing her luggage from her. "My car is packed around the back," he said, starting to walk along the sidewalk of the station.
She walked next to him in silence. This was going to be her home from now; Forks, a town of less than three thousand people. The town she used to visit with her father when she was very young, and then later when her parents were divorced and her dad had moved back to Forks working with Uncle Bill as the chief of Police. She only visited a few time after the divorce, as her father preferred coming over to Seattle to see her. The town where her parents had spent their childhood, gotten married and were buried less than a month ago.
She blinked her eyes fiercely, keeping the tears at bay as her Uncle loaded his van. The drive home was in comfortable silence, where she thought back to the last time she had seen her parents.
Renee and Charlie, who had always made her feel, loved, despite being divorced for nearly all of Bella's life. They were so very different, at times she would find it very hard to picture them together at all...Renee's childlike attributes versus Charlie's simple homely nature. If she concentrated hard enough she could still Renee's childlike grin when she closed her eyes. She sighed.
They were together that day. They had planned to carpool, as Phil her stepdad was out of town and her mum had given her car for an annual check. They were to drive together as Charlie was in town to see her end of year music concert.
As she sat there trying to focus on her violin while her eyes searched for those two familiar faces in the crowd, she had gotten the gut feeling something was terribly wrong. She was broken out of her reverie by her uncle again. He must have been trying to get her attention for a while, as he gave a small laugh when she replied with a "huh?"
"I am saying, isn't it too early for those?" he asked, pointing at the thin white gloves she was wearing. He had always been more observant than her father.
"Allergies" she replied, thinking quickly. She couldn't share her secret with her uncle. What would he think? She couldn't help her own parents with it. It was useless to her now and she did not want it.
" You want to get it checked out by the local Doctor here?" he asked again.
"No thanks Uncle Bill, I already got it checked and the doc at Seattle has given me some lotion to put on" she said, smiling, hoping it would convince her uncle enough to leave her alone.
It was. They reached her Uncle's place within ten minutes of that conversation. She did not want to acknowledge the fact that her dad used to share this place with him. She knew it would be a painful process for both of them.
" I have cleared up your old room. So you can make it however you want it," he said as he brought her things inside the house.
"I wish I could stay longer and help you unpack but..." he paused when she held her hand up to him.
"Its okay Uncle Bill. You go do your job. I am a big girl, I will be okay. We will have dinner together when we get back okay?" she said, trying to put him at ease. She knew he was being sincere about wanting to stay.
"I wish you didn't have school tomorrow, we could have spent some more time together before you started off," he said, finally picking his sherrif hat from the counter and heading towards the door.
"Me too, but now that I am here we will have plenty of time to catch up," she said, waving goodbye.
She couldn't go into pity mode now, she needed to unpack. School tomorrow, she thought to herself, sighing. She had never been a social person like her mother; she liked to keep to herself for the most part, which had resulted in having very few friends. She had been taunted in middle school for looking too sickly, and not fitting in with the popular crowd. Being too mature for her age she had simply put it all under the category of growing up, and had stood her ground. The only time she had cried was when they had tried to harm her hamster; that was the first time she had used her gift. In High School she was mostly left alone, except for a few guys who had tried to ask her out. She had assumed it was because of the challenge of getting something they couldn't have, for she knew she was in no way like the beautiful girls that were in her class. She had politely turned them down.
She pulled out the white gloves to examine her hands. They looked like any other, except she knew they were different. They were different, but they hadn't been enough to save her parents. She angrily put the gloves back on. She had vowed to herself she would never use it again. She started unpacking, letting her frustration flow in the work.
A few miles away, Alice Cullen suddenly stopped laughing at the joke made by her husband Jasper. She had seen her in her vision. She was here. She had to tell Edward.
Alright, that's it for the first chapter, please review!
