The Arrival
Bella's POV
Running.
I was running so fast and it felt wonderful.
I was getting used to the speed at which my body could move, I moved miles in a matter of minutes dodging trees with very little movement. For most, the trees in the forest would have been a blur of greens and browns blended together, but not for me, I could see everything in crystal clarity with my topaz eyes. Topaz wasn't the original colour of my eyes, since I had died and been reborn almost four years ago a lot about me had changed including the colour of my eyes. My transformation hadn't changed one thing, the love I had for one man, one vampire, Edward. Our lives together had become a peaceful cocoon of love and happiness. Along with our daughter, Renesmee, and extended family we lived in bliss in the small town of Forks, Washington.
Our beautiful family consisted of our daughter Renesmee, Nessie for short, who Edward and I had had when I was still human. Edward's parents, Carlisle and Esme, his brothers and sisters, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper, all of whom are also vampires, and my best friend Jacob, who, while not a vampire, could still hold his own with our pack being that he was a werewolf. Our family was considered different as we lived on a diet of animal blood verses human. Many of our kind thought this to be disgusting but it bonded us together and allowed us to blend into human society around us.
I was running in the forest around the small town of Forks, where my father Charlie lived, back to our mansion just on the outskirts. I had gone to visit my father for the day, having not seen him for a while. The family had just gotten back from a four month long trip to the Amazon. We had been visiting the Amazon coven including Nahuel, a half vampire, to gain more information about my own daughter's half vampire/half human state. I had gone alone to Charlie's this afternoon, having found no one to go with me. Edward, Nessie and Jacob had gone hunting. Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett had gone to Seattle University to check on the starting of fall classes and enrol the family for the semester. Alice had gone shopping to the local mall to pick up everyone new school clothes. Esme had gone with her to pick up groceries and some painting supplies for a new renovation project and Carlisle was working a shift at the hospital.
As I made my way back to the house I considered how much longer Edward, Nessie and Jacob might be and whether or not to join the hunt. I decided in half a second to go back to the house and change my clothes before joining them, as, even four years later, I was still a bit of a messy eater and didn't want to ruin the nice clothes I had on now, donned in order to impress Charlie. As I slowed at the clearing of our mansion I moved to pass by the house and to Edward and my little cottage a short distance away. My hearing was attuned to the sounds of the forest around me, so when I heard someone moving in the house I stopped abruptly. Nobody should be home yet, everyone had a much further distance to travel then myself and I hadn't been away visiting for that long. I listened more closely; I could hear someone shifting there weight back and forth, creaking the floorboards in the process. I could also hear someone softly humming, the song sounding like some sort of lullaby. I could also hear a tiny flutter, a fast rhythmic pounding I couldn't place. I walked toward the house slowly, listening intently to the sounds coming from inside wanting a clue as to who would be there when I opened the door. I walked up the front steps and took a deep breath, something I didn't have to do often as I didn't need oxygen to survive, but took anyway in order to steady me before facing the intruder. When the oxygen rushed in, the sweetest smell bombarded my senses. It was the smell of human blood, so sweet and pure. The thirst that I usually kept stated burned in my throat like someone had just poured a gallon of gasoline on a dying fire. I tried to steady myself, holding the breath that I had taken, not wanting to take in anymore of the sweet smell or I would lose my hold on the control I had managed to muster up. I opened the door quickly looking for the would be human trespassers hoping that just by opening the door I would scare them off and not have to fight anyone, that would just increase the chance that blood would be spilled and I would lose it if that happened. My eyes travelled around the room and I locked on to the figure standing dead centre in the living room.
I would know the form anywhere. This was the person I had envied so much when I was human, the gorgeous supermodel with long blond hair, my protector during my pregnancy, Rosalie.
I walked further into the room "Rose?" I started, questioning her presence, especially with the scent of human blood everywhere.
Rose turned towards me with a surprised look on her face. In her arms was cradled a small beautiful baby, looking up at Rose and cooing. Rose look towards the baby again with an adoring look on her face and then back up at me.
"I-I came home and he was lying in a small bassinette on the doorstep" She started with amazement in her voice, "There was a note with him, it said 'Please take care of my little boy Daniel.' Bella, don't you see, my hopes, my prayers, have been answered. God has finally heard me, given me a baby, a little boy, Danny."
