So I'm back for good. Hope You Enjoy
So here I was in the woods, listening to the silence that had developed between Edward and I. Something was going to happen and I knew from the change in the air that it was bad. After my horrifying birthday, he became distant. Alice and Edward began skipping school. This was the first time I had seen him in a few days. His face was devoid of emotion. He finally looked at me and what I saw in his eyes shocked me. They were black. His mouth was set in fine, tight line. I mentally shook myself out of my stupor. It seemed he wasn't going to say anything, so I spoke up.
"Why are we here, Edward? In the middle of a cold damp forest instead of my nice warm house," I glared. He glared back at me but I held my ground.
"Just say your piece and so we can leave." There was hostility in my eyes now. How could he disappear for a week and now show up all angry and shit? I'm the one who's supposed to be angry, not him. He finally decided to speak.
"Bella we're leaving."
"Are you saying that you brought me into this forest for no reason whatsoever? Just to glare at me and say nothing. What the he-"
"No Bella, I mean my family and I are moving on."
A part of me knew that this was going to happen. I was still speechless. Was he really breaking up with me? And to think I was going to tell his family about my secret. You see, I'm a vampire but not like the Cullens. I'm an original vampire. My skin doesn't sparkle in the sun like a diamond but it does burn like fire on paper. I can eat regular food but only when I have human blood in my system. I can be staked and vervain but, well... that doesn't bother me anymore.
"So, I'll come with you."
"Bella, I don't want you to come with me." His cold eyes becoming harsher and harsher.
" You… you don't... don't want me?" I finally choked out the words.
"No."
"Well, that changes things."
For some reason, my voice was surprisingly calm, when in reality I really wanted to burst out crying. Not because Edward was leaving but because this had happened before. Unknowingly he used the same words that my ex husband Klaus had said to me the night he left. Soon I was sucked into the memory of that night.
*Mystic Falls 1867 Klaus's mansion*
Klaus had been acting strange lately. We'd been married for 3 years and on our wedding night he turned me. I was a natural, it was like I was born for it. Its been going great but a week ago things started to change, Klaus had gotten a strange letter and when he read it his tan face turned pale. I had asked him what was wrong but he brushed it off as nothing and kissed me. From then, he was staying out all night feeding and when he did come home, he wouldn't even touch me. Finally Klaus came home. Without a second glance at me, he started packing his clothes and rather quickly too. He was rushing around the room gathering his things as if he was afraid of something… or someone.
"Klaus?" Silence
"KLAUS!"
"WHAT ARABELLE?"
I stiffened, he never called me by my full name always Ara or Belle.
"Where are you going?"
"Arabelle, I'm leaving."
"Ok, I'm coming with you."
"No, it's too dangerous for you."
"Klaus, I know I can help you but not if don't tell me what's going on. Who are you running from?"
Finally Klaus stopped packing, his usually warm sea green eyes were dark and cold "That's the thing Arabelle, I don't want you to come." His voice calm but cold. Dripping with malice.
"I… I… don't understand." My voice began to stutter.
"What don't you understand love? I don't want you anymore. You were just a pastime. An easy prey. I never loved you," he smirked and that set me off. Soon he was flying across the room into a wall. He started laughing.
"Is that all you got love?"
Soon enough he was on the floor in pain.
"Just leave."
My voice came out as only a whisper. It was almost inaudible, if he wasn't a vampire, he wouldn't have heard it. I collapsed onto the ground with tears in my eyes. How could I have been so stupid? I looked up and thought I saw sadness in his eyes but it was quickly gone and replaced with pity.
He walked over and knelt down so our eyes could meet and he kissed me.
"Darling, it was fun while it lasted."
and he walked out of my life.
*Flashback over*
By the time I was sucked out of my memories, Edward was gone. I felt wetness on my cheeks and soon tears were pouring out. Not for Edward, but for Klaus. My first love.
As much as I wanted to just sit here and sulk about the past. I had to get back to the house before Charlie got home. As I ran through the forest, I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to stay here for much longer. It was time to move on with my undead life. I was going to the place I was born. I didn't want to be the weak and clumsy Bella Swan anymore. I wanted to be me. Arabelle Salvatore.
I walked into the house and walked straight to a mirror. I reached for my necklace and tore it off. My appearance changed. My once brown hair gradually lightened to a dirty blond and my mud brown eyes turned a seafoam green. I smiled because I missed that girl in the mirror. I went to my room and found a loose floorboard and was surprised to find everything that would remind me about Edward there. Why would he do that? I pushed them aside and further across was my jewelry box. Hidden in it was my engagement ring and wedding ring that Klaus had given me. I still wore them for some reason.
I needed to change out of these clothes. I went to the back of my closet and pulled out my black leather jacket, a black floral crop top, black jeans and my favorite black spiked heels (outfit on profile) that I loved to death. If that pixie could see me now she would die... well, again. I went back to my box and took out my passports and ids and debit cards. I took out my duffle bag and packed it up with the essentials. I had clothes at the place I was going, the room was locked with magic so no one could get in. So they should still be there.
Downstairs, I could hear Charlie come in and I knew it was time.
"BELLA!"
"I'm coming!"
I took one last look at "my room" and went downstairs with the duffle bag on my shoulder.
"Bella, you dyed your hair and got contacts?"
I tore the bracelet with vervain off of his wrist.
I looked him straight in his eyes and began to compel him.
"Bell…what are..."
"You never had a daughter. She never existed. You will learn how to cook for yourself and if the Cullens come back, you will slam the door in their faces. Take care of yourself Charlie. Get a girlfriend you love. Get over Renee she's nothing special. I love you Charlie. Goodbye."
Charlie said bye back and I kissed his forehead and left to compel the rest of town and La Push. Isabella Marie Swan never existed. I ran to the nearest car dealership and bought a 2010 ducati 848 in black. And soon enough I was on my way home.
After 4 days on the road I was finally in Mystic Falls, heading towards the Salvatore mansion. I went inside, flitted up to my room threw my duffle bag on the floor and jumped on my king sized bed, tired. My room hadn't changed at all. Same grey walls and black furniture. If you hadn't guessed by now I love black and leather jackets. Suddenly I remembered the other reason I wanted to come back. My nephew Zach lived here. I missed him.
"ZACH WHERE ARE YOU? I TOLD YOU I'D BE BACK!"
No answer
Hmm, he's probably at the Grill getting dinner. That boy couldn't cook to save his life.
I hopped on my motorcycle and rode off to the Grill. I got this strange feeling when I got there. When I walked inside everybody stopped and stared, wondering who the new girl was.
One of the faces I did recognize, I gasped.
"Arabelle is that you?"
