Guardian Angel

Chapter One: Horror

Bella stopped dead in her tracks as she stared at the destruction around her. No! This wasn't how it was supposed to be. Things were getting better! They were winning the war! They were good! Things like this weren't supposed to happen to the good guys!

'Okay Bella,' she thought to herself. 'Now is not the time to panic. You have to stay clam. Someone might still be here.' She forced herself to take a defensive position, scanning the room. Her dead family members were lying around the room, their blood still fresh. Papers were scattered, furniture on its side. Ransacked. No, it was obvious that the intruders were gone.

Sure in the fact that none of her family's murderers were still in the house; Bella proceeded to check for pulses from those that she loved. She found none. She went methodically from room to room, checking aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, even her grandparents. Tears silently streamed down her face as she realized just how alone she now was. Her family had been her support group, her life! Without them, well, life wouldn't be life. She hadn't even finished her training!

Bella had finished checking, and almost everyone was accounted for. And those who weren't, well, she was pretty sure she had seen pieces of them in the kitchen. She padded quietly into her bedroom, stuffing her things into a large duffle bag as quickly as possible. She just wanted to get out of there, and who know when they were coming back?

Just as she was slipping her family ring onto her finger, she heard a quiet whimper coming from her closet. Spinning and dropping her duffle bag onto the floor, she fell into a crouch, a growl slipping from between her lips. She heard another whimper and then full out crying. This puzzled her. Hadn't she been thought that her enemies were monsters? Was this a trick?

Trick or not, Bella's curiosity got the better of her. Staying alert, she pushed the closet door and let out s gasp. Sitting tucked in the back of her closet, hanging behind her nice clothed that she rarely wore, was her three year old cousin, Daniel, who was holding his six month old brother, Ethan.

"Bella!" Daniel cried lifting his tear stained face up to her, tightening his hold on his brother.

"Daniel, buddy, what happened?" Bella asked as she reached for sleeping Ethan.

"Mommy said that we should hide in here and wait for you. S…she said that no matter what we weren't allowed to come out until you told us it was safe. If someone else said it was safe, we were supposed to hide. She said if we heard screaming, we weren't allowed to come out. And there was lots of screaming. And a scary man came in and said we should come out. And Bella, I was so scarred!" Bella grabbed Ethan and placed him gently on the bed, covering him with a blanket. She turned back around and gathered the sobbing little boy in her arms.

"It's okay baby boy. It'll be alright. I'll make everything better."

That had been two years ago. A lot had happened since then. The boys had taken to calling Bella 'Momma Bella', and Bella had taken up her "training" again. They had moved from town to town, making friends everywhere they went. The boys loved it, calling themselves explorers. Well, Daniel called himself an explorer, Ethan just clapped his hands and screamed, making Bella chuckle.

But, all good things must come to an end. It was now time for Daniel to start kindergarten and Bella didn't want him to have to keep starting over again. So, they were moving to the tiny, rainy town of Forks, Washington. Bella glanced in her rearview mirror at her sleeping angel boys, a smile gracing her face. Little did she know, life was about to become very interesting.

A/N: So, I was really unhappy with all the things I had written before, so I deleted it all. Most of it wasn't finished anyway, but, eventually, SOME of it will be revamped and put back up here. Maybe. I also stopped writing for a year or so, but I am BACK now!
