Chapter 1: Death Comes Barging In
November 2009
Isabella "Bella" Swan and her father Charlie Swan decided to get away from Forks, Washington and travel to Sokovia, Eastern Europe. Bella has never heard of that country before and also thought it would be something new to visit. Plus, she also needed to get away from the drama at school. Edward broke up with her, he and the Cullens left with no note to when they will be back, her friends are still not talking to her, Jake continues to ignore her and she has Victoria still after her and wants to kill her. Victoria still believes Bella is still Edward's mate. Bella scolded at the thought of Edward. This is why she needed to get away. Everything reminds her of Edward. Sokovia is the place to start new memories. Get her out of depression. For once, she smiled. It's been so long since she smiled. The different scenery is good. Being away from home is good. Bella wrapped her arms around her dad's arm and leaned her head against his shoulder. She felt her dad kiss her forehead and rest his hand on hers and the other tangled his fingers with hers. They finally could have father and daughter time.
"I'm glad we came here." She looked up at her dad and smiled. "Thank you dad." She felt her dad kiss her forehead once again.
"You're welcome Bella. I will do anything for you to keep you happy." Her smile grew even more and hugged tightly on her father's arm and squeezed his hand.
"Just being here with you makes me happy." Her father looked down at her and noticed how her brown hazel eyes have come back to life once again. Her whole appearance is now different than before. She's wearing a nice dark red cotton dress, a halter one to be exact, she's wearing black ankle boots, a black shawl over her shoulders with a unique design, she's wearing different kinds of bracelets. A wide leather one with a dragon insignia in the middle of the bracelet, two thin leather ones with silver beading and another leather one with a charm that looked like a teardrop encased around it. Her long brunette hair shined in the sunlight and her pale skin became more peach like color. Yes, Bella is on a road to recovery from her depression. Metaphorically.
"It's beautiful here, isn't it?" Bella looked up at her father once again and nodded.
"Yeah it is." The whole city of Sokovia is beautiful. They were now walking through the market, looking at everything being displayed until something caught Bella's eyes. She stopped in mid stride and tugged on her dad's arm. "Dad come look at this." Following her, she found a necklace that looked vintage. The sapphire gem is encased by a silver cage and threaded with black leather strings. She gently picked it up and held it in her fingers.
"It's beautiful Bella." She nodded as she is still memorized by the gem. "How much is it?" She heard her father ask the marketer.
"For the beautiful young lady, none and I'll throw in four beautiful silver rings." One has a dragon engraved all around the ring, the second one has the Celtic sign in the middle, the third one is a little wider and has a vintage design with little diamonds scattered around the ring and the fourth has the infinity symbol in the middle of the ring. Bella's eyes widened and she looked at her father who has the same expression. "Are you sure? We can still pay for them." The marketer waved his hand like it was no big deal.
"First time here in Sokovia?" They both nodded and the marketer gave them a kind smile. "Then think of it as a welcome gift." Her heart felt touched by the kind marketer and gave him a smile.
"Thank you so much." The marketer nodded a 'you're welcome' gesture. However, Bella sneakily went through her dad's pocket of his leather jacket and grabbed some money. When her dad wasn't looking at the marketer anymore and wondered off to the next cart, she looked at the marketer, gently grabbed his hand and slipped the money in the hand of the marketer. "Thank you for your kindness." With that she walked away from the marketer and headed towards her dad. She is still holding the necklace and the rings in the palm of her hand and lightly bumped her shoulder to her dad's arm. They both let out a chuckle while Bella is clipping the necklace around her neck. The length of the necklace went down just above her cleavage. She put the Celtic ring on her left thumb, the dragon ring on her left index finger, the vintage ring on her right middle finger and the infinity ring n her right thumb. She is already wearing her class ring on her right engagement finger. It was silver with black coating underneath the engravings of the letters, numbers and symbols. The gem is purple and a hint of rainbow colors when it hits the sunlight. Bella smiled at the new addition of jewelry. She didn't really wear much jewelry. Only if they were handmade she would wear it. It's rare nowadays. They continued to walk around the market and see different sights. As they looked at a cart with shawls and scarves, an echo of an explosion rippled through the air. Bella and her dad looked towards where the black smoke was building in the air. Her face shift into a concern look and looked up at her dad. "What was that?" She asked and saw her dad shake his head.
"I don't know Bells. Maybe we should head back to the hotel for a little bit." She nodded and they turned around in the direction they first started. Bella wrapped her arms around her dad's arm and her hand grabbed his. She felt him squeeze her hand rested his free hand on hers. Two minutes of walking and suddenly another explosion ripped through the air, this time it was much closer. The screams of the Sokovian people ringed through the air. Bella ducked down and her dad used himself as a shield to protect her from flying debris. They both glanced towards where the explosion was.
"That was a little closer." Her eyes widened in fear along with her dad.
"We gotta go." She didn't hesitate to nod, but let her dad pull her away from the market. They followed the people until another explosion blows through the air. Screams erupted around them and Bella lost her grip from her father's hand and arm.
"Dad!" She screams and she blacks out.
A throbbing pain in the back of Bella's head brings her back to consciousness and the ringing in her ears is high pitched. She sits up and touches the back of her head. She feels something warm and sticky against her hand. She pulls her hand back and her eyes widened. Blood. Her blood covers the palm of her hand. Her heart is pounding against her rib cage and looks around. Everywhere she looks there's rubble, smoke, small flames, dead bodies and falling ashes from the sky. Bella stood up with her shaky legs and started walking. Her brown hazel eyes survey from body to body until her eyes landed on a certain body.
"Dad!" She quickly runs toward her father and skidded on her knees not caring if she broke skin and bleed. Her eyes widened with horror as she looks at her dad. His eyes wide open with no life, his mouth open like a scream that will never escape from his lips and his skin cold as ice. Bella tried to feel a pulse, but there was none. Tears trailing down her ash cheeks and a choked sob escape her lips. She grips his leather jacket as she leans forward to rest her forehead against her dad's chest. Her shoulders tremble with each sob she lets out, blood trailing down from the back of her head to the back of her neck. Through the tears and the sobs, she was able to get her father's leather jacket off and hugged it close to her chest. Pain erupted in her heat. Unbearable pain.
"Hello!" A heavy accented voice yelled out that reached out Bella's ears. She is still sobbing and hugging her dad's leather jacket. "Is anyone there?" Bella looked up with her ash, tear stained face and sniffed. She sat up on her shaky legs. Before she could walk any further, she collapsed next to her father's body, bent down and kissed his forehead. "I love you dad." She closed his eyes with her trembling hands. "May Valhalla welcome you with open arms." She stood up on her shaky legs once again and started to run to the voices that are still calling out for survivors. She is still hugging her father's leather jacket as she runs. It led her to a few men, some of them have guns and one was a guy with a crew cut and an eye glass on his right eye. Bella stopped in mid stride when out of the corner of her eye caught something. She looked towards the missile that hadn't exploded yet. It was covered up in small layer of ask, but she could still see the writing. She walked up to it and wiped it away, it read Stark Industries. Rage started to build up. She clenched her fists together as her nails dig into the palm of her hands. A scream rippled from her throat and fell to her knees. She screamed as her throat felt raw and scratchy. Tears continued to stream down her ash cheeks. Her anger is towards Stark. How could he do this? Killing innocent people. Her screams died down, but continues to let out sobs. She didn't hear the upcoming footsteps or the hand on her shoulder.
"Why?" Her voice is hoarse and slightly winced at the pain of her throat.
"He's selfish." Bella buried her face into her father's jacket and continued to cry. She felt an arm wrap around her shoulders and helped up on her shaky legs. She let the man guide her out of the wreckage and into his vehicles which looks like giant hummers. A soldier helped her up to the back and gently guided her to a seat. She felt a warm blanket being wrapped around her shoulders and instantly felt the warmth. Bella hasn't stopped crying the whole ride to whatever they were going. She felt someone wiping the blood away on the back of her neck. The car eventually came to a stop and she finally looked up to see a huge castle like building that had other soldiers patrolling the area. The man with the eye glass came into her view and helped her out of the car. His arm wrapped around her shoulders and guided her inside. She's glad that his arm is helping her walk steadily. Exhaustion takes over her body. The man led her into a room next to two others. She is gently seated in a chair and stared at the floor with a blank expression. "What is your name?"
"Isabella Swan, but I prefer Bella." She said softly.
"I am Baron Von Strucker and I wish to help you Ms. Swan." She looked at Strucker with a blank expression, but tears continue their trail down her cheeks. "Who did you lose?"
"My father, we were walking around at the market. Everything was fine until we heard an explosion. We started walking back to the hotel until we heard another one and it was closer. We started running then we heard a third explosion. I lost my grip on my father and I blacked out. I woke up and found that everything was destroyed. I felt a ping of pain on the back of my head and saw it was blood. Then I walked around and found my father." She closed her eyes and bit the bottom of her lip. A fresh batch of tears trail down her ash cheeks.
"You don't have to explain anymore." She nodded and buried her face back into her father's leather jacket. "Bella I am going to introduce you to two people who understand what you just went through. They may be able to help you with your grieving and get you back on your feet. Soon I will talk to you about something and it is up to you for what you want to do." She vaguely heard what Strucker said, but nodded anyway. The pain in her heart is unbearable. Her whole world just fell apart. Home is wherever her father is and home is not back in Forks. She can't go back. She won't. Her father died here and she will too. She heard the doors open and heard two pair of footsteps walking into the room. Memories of memories started to give her a headache. Bella removed her face from her father's leather jacket and saw two arrivals. One was a beautiful woman who could look enough to be her sister. She has long brown hair and green eyes. The other was a handsome man who has silver hair, a beard scruff and icy blue eyes. They noticed her ash stained cheeks, pained expression and her entire figure tremble because of the cold. They grew concerned immediately. Bella didn't pay attention; she just buried her face again in the leather jacket and praying for the memories to stop.
"What happened?" Bella heard in a deep concern voice with a heavy expression. She heard the girl's footstep stepping towards her and felt a hand on her shoulders. Bella tried hard not to flinch, but she did. The hand disappeared from her shoulder and continued to tremble.
"She was just in the middle of a bombing and survived. Her father didn't make it." A whimper escapes from her lips. All she wanted to do is curl up in a ball and cry. She's shaking like a leaf. She's lucky she still has her shawl and the blanket.
"What's your name?" She heard the man ask softly.
"Bella Swan." She muffled out. She's too exhausted to continue the conversation. All she wants to do is sleep. Her eyelids became heavy and her vision started to blur. The next thing she knows, is falling off her chair forward and blacked out again.
