Chapter1: Forks once again
APOV
It has been nearly a 100years since we left Forks, a small rainy town, almost permanently overcast with clouds. An ideal place for us to settle down, though just for a few short years…something equivalent to a few weeks in the life of a mortal. My family has never been the same ever since we left this town so many years ago. Edward has never been the same since he left his Bella. I missed her too. All of us did. I had kept my word to Edward. I had tried not to look into her future and eventually, I could not see anything about her, even those rare flashes that came by themselves.
But now we were going back to that town…which held both the most beautiful and horrifying memories for all of us. Just like I had foreseen Rosalie had been the most difficult to convince to go to Forks. She had hated Bella with all her soul. Edward had not reacted in any way at all. He was just a reflection, a shell of the person he used to be. Before he met Bella, he was not really alive but he still spent a lot of time with us and we had been really close. Edward was my favorite sibling and a great friend. Because of our strange gifts, we could have private conversations when no one else could follow or when no one even bothered. But when Bella came into his life, it was like someone had brought his soul back to him, he smiled, he laughed, he spent more time composing happy music on his piano…there was a twinkle in his eyes. I had seen Bella become one of us even before Edward fell in love with her. The vision was one of the reasons Edward decided to leave Bella. When I had pleaded with him to stay in Forks, he told me…"She deserves to live a normal, full and happy human life. I shall not take her humanity away from her for all my selfish needs and neither shall I place her in constant danger because of what we are. Alice, please promise me that you will stay away from her and not look into her future. This is all that I ask of you Alice, for me, for my Bella." And I had promised. Edward left us for a few years once we left Forks. I could see him spending his time wallowing in the darkest and creepiest sewer-like places. But he had come back, once he realized the pain he was causing all of us, Esme especially. He was her first child in so many ways. Though Carlisle had created most of our family, Edward had kept us together.
It has been a century and it is now time to go back to Forks. For some reason I get hazy visions, visions of Bella. Only I am not sure if she is our Bella. I have not told anyone about this vision yet and I have kept my mind busy trying to write the Bible in the mandarin script. Edward knows that I am keeping something from him but he does not bother with any of this, he has not in nearly a century. Edward died when he left his Bella.

We are going back to Forks. Everyone except me agreed with Carlisle. No one cares about how I feel. If we go back Edward is going to behave worse than he already does and everyone in the family will be worried sick about him. Does he not know that everyone cares so much about him. When has he ever bothered about how any of us felt…except of course his precious Bella, the one human pet who destroyed my perfect family.

Carlisle spoke to me again in private, at least in what little privacy we can get in a house full of vampires. I was indifferent to his decision about going to Forks. Forks, where I had met my beautiful Bella. Bella… I understood that we did not have any other place to go to in our constantly moving lifestyle. Forks would be safe. No one would remember anything about us after a century. But going back to Forks high school would be the most difficult thing for me to do. I only hope that a century would have been sufficient to remove the scent of my Bella from the air… the air that now would not be worth breathing…but would make it a little easier than it would otherwise be. But the strangest reaction to our decision has been from Alice. She is trying to keep something from me…but its long since I paid attention to any of her visions…after all she had kept her promise about Bella… her best friend whom she had left behind upon my request. We still had our white Victorian style mansion in Forks. Esme had left earlier today with Emmet, Rosalie and Carlisle to restore it to good condition, meaning to make sure that none of our acquaintances were around and make the house free from any "Bella scent". It will soon be time for Alice, Jasper and I to leave for Forks with the luggage. I have spent the past century in memories of her… even after such a long time everything about her is etched in my eternal memory. Her pale skin, her inviting scent, her beautiful dove-like brown orbs that see past my pretenses, her silky mahogany hair…everything about her…Bella…my Bella.
I do not play my piano anymore…the last song that I ever wrote was the lullaby for my love. After I left her, there have been many instances when I had travelled nearly half the distance to Forks to just look at her from far away, just to make sure she is fine…but every time I forced myself to turn back…I promised her a peaceful life. I will not go back on my promise…it will be as if I never existed in her life. I knew that she would keep her promise as well…to be safe. The last time I saw her face…her beautiful crumbing in pain, was etched in my memory, constantly reminding me of the monster I was…I am…
But I shall not trouble my family any more…I shall go by their wishes. I loved my family too…Even though I have been really harsh to most of them. Esme and Alice were the ones I had hurt the most…But I had done so to keep myself from combusting in front of them. I could not let them in on my pain. My pain was nothing in comparison to Bella's safety, my family's happiness.
I shall go back to Forks for my family…after all this is the least that I can do for them.
(AN: I tried to do my best in writing from 3 different POVs. I know that Edward's POV is not perfect, I have not done justice to him. I hope you enjoyed it though! This story is with the assumption that there were co-ed schools in the early 1900s.)
