Disclaimer: I own NOTHING of Twilight, I'm simply using the characters for my own amusement.

This is just a short prologue; I'm leaving it up to y'all to decide if I should continue or not, though I'd probably continue anyway. Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter 1

"Bella, are you okay?" a frantic voice asked in panic. "Bella!"

Opening her eyes blearily Isabella Swan groaned as a sharp pain shot through her head. "W-what happened?"

"You fell, Bella, as we were leaving the house," a familiar voice said in concern.

Blinking slowly Bella's vision cleared enough to be able to recognize her mother. "Mom?" This isn't right, Renee died years ago. Last thing I remember is confronting that bastard for ruining our lives.

"You slipped on the doormat," Renee said softly. The older woman checked her watch. "Are you okay, Bella? If we don't leave now, you'll miss your flight to Forks."

"What? Forks?" Bella stuttered as she got to her feet unsteadily.

"We decided you'd go live with Charlie so I can go on the road with Phil, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember, Mom. I'm just a little dizzy," Bella muttered quietly, following Renee to the car. How is this possible? I'm 17 again! Is everything still the same? Do I have access to my powers? Can I change things so that what happened to us doesn't happen again? She was jerked out of her thoughts by Renee shouting her name. "What?"

"Are you sure you're okay, honey? You're awfully quiet," Renee asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, Mom," Bella replied. Discreetly checking her phone for the exact date Bella was a little surprised to see it was the middle of July instead of December. "Mom, do you think I can change my flight to Forks for the middle of August? I was on the internet and found somewhere I'd like to visit before school starts again."

"Where at, honey?"

"Volterra, Italy. They do tours of the Volterra Castle and I think it'd be really amazing to visit," Bella answered softly, making herself sound excited and hopeful.

Renee thought for several minutes, mulling over the pros and cons. "I don't know, Bella. You'll be alone in some foreign city."

"Please, Mom," Bella begged. "I've already researched the city and the closest hotels and the maps. I won't get lost or hurt, I promise."

"Okay, but I want you to call me every night," Renee caved as they reached the airport. Under her breath she mumbled, "I'm glad we got your passport last year."

Bella smiled as she followed Renee into the airport and up to the front desk. Stepping forward she talked the woman behind the counter into changing her flight plans for a lower fee and booking the next flight for Italy. Pocketing her new tickets Bella hugged her mom. "My flight leaves in about 40 minutes to New York, and my flight to Italy is at 7 p.m., eastern time."

"Sounds like you'll be flying all day."

"Yeah but it won't be so bad, gives me a chance to think," Bella said quietly. Checking her phone again Bella stepped forward and hugged Renee again. "I'll call you when I land in Italy."

"Stay safe, baby girl," Renee whispered before letting go and stepping back.

Half an hour later Bella was seated in First Class, eyes closed as she centered herself. I already have access to my powers, I just need to consciously awaken them. Lost in her own little world Bella followed the training she'd gone through with Carlisle to learn how to control her powers, and to find out what they were. Just when she was about to take a break she felt the 'switch' on her powers flip on. As Bella cringed as the thoughts of everyone within a mile of her filled her head she slammed her shields up to block out the thoughts. Inhaling deeply the brunette lowered her shields just slightly so that she couuld hear others' thoughts but they didn't overwhelm her.

-She really is gorgeous, I wonder if I can touch her in the guise of waking her up- a feminine voice floated through Bella's mind.

Mentally raising an eyebrow Bella slipped into the stranger's mind gently, searching for the stranger's name. Hmm, Claire. Wonder what she'd say if she knew I was only 17, though in actuality I'm close to 123. She opened her eyes when a soft hand was placed on her bare arm, locking eyes with a beautiful redhead. "Yes?"

"We'll be taking off shortly, Miss," the redhead said with a soft voice.

Letting her eyes fall to the woman's chest, idly reading her nametag, Bella glanced back up at the flight attendant's face. "Thank you, Claire."

Settling back into her seat Bella fastened her seatbelt and looked out of the window. So far the only thing that's different is going to Charlie's early, well besides this little trip. Edward must have killed me when I confronted him, that's the only thing that makes sense. I still can't believe just how much he manipulated my entire life, especially that he stole me from my real parents after killing them and gave me to the Swans, all right under the Cullens' noses. Shaking those particular memories off Bella thought about her ture mate..err, well mates. I never would have suspected them to be mine, seeing as they are quire a bit older than even the Volturi. Which reminds me that I need to change into my natural form. For the rest of the flight Bella worked on organizing her memories, locking anything important behind a separate, adamantium (?) shield.

Five hours later Bella stayed sitting as everyone else on the plane started getting up and making their way off of the plane. Raising her shields a little bit to reduce the volume of thoughts echoing in her mind the brunette stood as the last person stepped off the plane. Reaching up into the overhead storage she grabbed her carry-on and turned to leave. Before stepping off of the plane Bella stopped in front of the redheaded flight attendant, reaching out and pulling her into a long, deep kiss. Pulling back after several long moments she smirked at the woman. "You should ask your friend out, she won't say no."

"Wha?"

Leaving the speechless woman behind Bella quickly navigated her way through the crowded airport until she reached the rows of monitors showing the departure times. Double checking her gate number Bella started in that direction, easily weaving in and out of people. She'd just passed a scragly looking man when she froze, his thoughts echoing in her mind.

Gotta get the Hell out of here before the cops show up, knew I shoulda killed those whores after using them!

Turning sharply Bella stared coldly at the man, delving into his mind none too gently to view his memories only to pull out in disgust when she saw him raping several young girls brutally. She smirked at the man, implanting the suggestion to turn himself over to the police in the guy's mind, watching in satisfaction as he made his way over to a beautiful brunette woman in a brown leather jacket. Catching the brunette's eyes Bella gave her a half-grin and turned around, heading towards her gate.

"Excuse me, ma'am?" a husky female voice called after Bella.

Checking her watch quickly Bella sighed and stopped, turning around to face the other woman. "Can I help you, Detective?"

Shock briefly flashed across the older brunette's face before it cleared again. "What's your name, Miss?"

"Isabella Swan," Bella replied. "I have a flight to catch, Detective, so can we please make this quick?"

"Why were you watching that man earlier?"

Bella shrugged lazily. "I'm a people watcher, Detective, I watch everyone. He passed me earlier and the way he was acting caught my interest."

"That's it?" the detective asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, Detective. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a flight to catch." Bella didn't wait for a reply, instead she turned and headed to her gate. Handing over her ticket she quickly boarded the plane and settled into her First Class seat. This is gonna be a long flight.
