I don't own twilight and I do not own the vampire diaries

Chapter 1 : first day of school

"Bella, we're leaving."

She took a deep breath, . This was an acceptable option. she thought she was prepared. But she still had to ask.

"Why now? Another year–"

"Bella, it's time. How much longer could we stay in Forks, after all? Carlisle can barely pass

for thirty, and he's claiming thirty-three now. We'd have to start over soon regardless."

His answer confused her. She thought the point of leaving was to let his family live in peace.

Why did we have to leave if they were going? She stared at him, trying to understand what he

meant.

He stared back coldly.

With a roll of nausea, she realized she'd misunderstood.

"When you say we–," she whispered.

"I mean my family and myself." Each word separate and distinct.

She shook her head back and forth mechanically, trying to clear it. He waited without any sign of impatience. It took a few minutes before I could speak.

"Okay," she said. "I'll come with you."

"You can't, Bella. Where we're going… It's not the right place for you."

"Where you are is the right place for me."

"I'm no good for you, Bella."

"Don't be ridiculous." The brunet wanted to sound angry, but it just sounded like she was begging.

"You're the very best part of my life."

"My world is not for you," he said grimly.

"What happened with Jasper–that was nothing, Edward! Nothing!"

"You're right," he agreed. "It was exactly what was to be expected."

"You promised! In Phoenix, you promised that you would stay–"

"As long as that was best for you," he interrupted to correct me.

"No! This is about my soul, isn't it?" she shouted, furious, the words exploding out of her–somehow it still sounded like a plea. "Carlisle told me about that, and I don't care,

Edward. I don't care! You can have my soul. I don't want it without you–it's yours already!"

He took a deep breath and stared, unseeingly, at the ground for a long moment. His mouth

Twisted the tiniest bit. When he finally looked up, his eyes were different, harder–like the

Liquid gold had frozen solid.

"Bella, I don't want you to come with me." He spoke the words slowly and precisely, his cold

eyes on my face, watching as she absorbed what he was really saying.

There was a pause as she repeated the words in her head a few times, sifting through them for

Their real intent.

"You… don't… want me?" she tried out the words, confused by the way they sounded, placed

in that order.

"No."

She stared, uncomprehending, into his eyes. He stared back without apology. His eyes were like topaz–hard and clear and very deep. She felt like she could see into them for miles and miles, yet nowhere in their bottomless depths could she see a contradiction to the word he'd spoken.

"Well, that changes things." she was surprised by how calm and reasonable her voice sounded.

It must be because she was so numb. She couldn't realize what he was telling her. It still didn't make any sense.

He looked away into the trees as he spoke again. "Of course, I'll always love you… in a way.

But what happened the other night made me realize that it's time for a change. Because

I'm… tired of pretending to be something I'm not, Bella. I am not human." He looked back,

and the icy planes of his perfect face were not human. "I've let this go on much too long, and

I'm sorry for that."

"Don't." her voice was just a whisper now; awareness was beginning to seep through her,

Trickling like acid through her veins. "Don't do this."

He just stared at her, and she could see from his eyes that her words were far too late. He

already had.

"You're not good for me, Bella." He turned his earlier words around, and so she had no

Argument. How well she knew that she wasn't good enough for him.

And so , the lion left the lamb in the forest,…..

To decay .

RINNNNNNNG "SLAM! Bella growled in her bed, twisting within the cover, willing to escape the day, Ohhh how she longed for a bottle of wine, to just drown in the numbness of her drink and forget the horror of her life, but Nooo she has to get up and handle a class full of hormonal teenagers, Ohhh who life sucks

'Nothing beats the good ol' hot shower,' she through as the hot water cascaded along Bella's shoulder blades, making little rivers down her back which was filled with scars so deep that they left creases in the lithe body of the woman,

She took her time dressing and pulled a simple black short that went bellow her kneecap and a black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to elbows , and wore her jet black eye patch to hide the claw mark that marred her left eye , she sighted, remembering "that night,"

Flashback

Bella cried silently as she tripped along the forest ,looking for a way to go back home, the forest was silent, so awfully silent, it did nothing to ease the girls fear, she heard a soft cracking, a blur in the trees ,a black mass stalking her, then her instinct told her to run,

And run she did, but of course tripping was her profession.

Sprawled on her back Isabella Marie swan starred at her captor, almost fainting,

Almost , if it wasn't for the sudden pain on her side, the … thing bit her, a blood curling scream escaped her mouth as she tried in vain to escape her captor , tried to free herself of her aggressor, her feeble attempts did nothing but annoy the creature who clawed her face which resulted intro more pain as a her eye bleed out,

The searing pain in her body made her weak and tired.

She knew no more…..

End of flashback

Bella shock her head clearing it of the painful memories as she pulled up intro forks high school parking , her black mustang GT already drawing attention , so did a black Mercedes she knew too well, the owner of the car, who ironically was just leaving it turned around making them both gasp

"ESME?"

"BELLA?"
