I walked upstairs to my room and once I was inside I plopped down. I stared at the ceiling and played with my car keys. I felt the sting at the back of my eyes as I stifled a hiccup as I remembered how alone I was now. I had no one else left but my mom and my dad. Alone. Harsh word. I blinked fast and kept my tears at bay. Curiously they weren't venom anymore, simple, salty water made its way down my cheeks. I sat up and considered my options.

I could stay here and mope around- live my pathetic life without any friends as I lost even my school's ones.

Go back to Renee and Phil, impose in them and mope around there

Go travelling. Perhaps pay a visit to the famous Volturi coven.

Go to LA.

I reviewed them again and ignored the pain in my throat as I kept my tears at bay along with the constant thought that said 'None of this would happen if he hadn't left' somehow anger began to reign and I made my choice. I would go travelling when I graduated. But first I need to pay a visit to Bartholomaeus. I heard Charlie pull out and leave. I sighed and went out of my room. I grabbed my car keys and headed outside. Destination: the warehouse.

***

I stood just outside the warehouse and tried to open the door. 'Locked' I thought. I applied a bit more force and the door slid flying forward. I cringed at the thought of how I couldn't control my new strength. I stared at the broken lock and knew someone would come- after all the ruckus I made it was impossible for them not to know someone had opened the warehouse. I heard a door open and Bartholomaeus stood there looking at me.

"Isabella" he said with fear.

"Bartholomaeus! Hi, it's been so long since I last saw you, hell I bet you thought you would never see me again, am I right? I don't think it's exactly host like to try to eat a guest" I said as I made him wince slightly.

"But… how… your scent, it's different, not human but not vampire. It's unbelievably sweet yet refreshing, it makes me wonder how you would taste" I smiled as I walked forward.

"Let's say I'm a different type of vampire I'm lucky you didn't drain me. You could've killed me!" I said in mock shock. He chuckled along with me and walked vampire speed towards me and held my neck in a tight grip.

"I was aiming for that, but I guess I can fix that now" he said as he licked his lips and a sadistic smile appeared on his lips. He tried to break my neck and I just moved, apparently too fast for him for he had a look of utter shock as I slammed him against the opposite side of the warehouse. I appeared beside him before he could realize it and grabbed him as I raised him on the air.

"Your name is Italian, right? Where are you from?" my tone left no space for another answer but the right one. He struggled against my grip but couldn't even apply as much strength.

"R-Rome! I moved to Volterra afterwards!" he said as I felt his overpowering fear.

"So, I guess that means you know about the Volturi, right?" he nodded. "Good Boy. Next question. How do I find them?" he kept on struggling.

"T-There are guards everywhere, you'll be able to see at least one. They lurk on the dark places, keeping guard of their home!" I nodded.

"And I can ask them to allow me to see the Three leaders, right?" he nodded.

"They are called Aro-" interrupted him.

"Marcus and Caius, I know. Thanks for your help old friend" I opened my grasp and he fell down. I walked outside the warehouse and looked at the sun. I walked to my car and headed for my house to grab my bag.

Afterwards I was in my car, with my bag and heading for school. I knew I had missed two periods already. I arrived at school and got out of my car.

I kept going to school for what was left until I graduated. My grades turned to straight A+'s … somehow…

It was weird. Everything I read once or heard once even if I never paid attention would stick to my brain like a post it. I shrugged it off every time and was happy with my grades. I became friends again with Angela and Mike and I was happier. Then, before I knew it, we were graduating. Time went by like a blur and I was finally free. The first day of freedom after the graduation day I waited for Charlie to get home. My last grades had gotten me admission letters for all the universities I applied for and I was going to tell Charlie I was going to LA. It wasn't that I loved UCLA I simply would use that as an excuse for going. I told him all about it and he was happy with it. A month after I had packed everything. I kissed my father's cheek and then headed for LA.

Alice POV

We were all sitting in the living room watching the news. I had a slight flash of a change in Bella and then I couldn't see her any more. I knew I promised Edward not to look for her but she loves us, I love her, she's my sister and I needed to know if she was okay- and she clearly was not. Sure, Edward couldn't read her but I could always see her future, always. Now, I didn't know anything about her, the last thing I saw was Bella walking in Port Angeles and heading for a Warehouse. He knew what I saw and he had a bad feeling about it. It had been a while since that vision (more like an year since the vision) but maybe something new would lead to some info on her.

"You are now tunning on to TMZ. The famous singer Adonaї was seen coming out of a club in down town New York with his new girlfriend. Here are some pictures of the couple. Adonaï claims they are really attracted to one another and that perhaps there is love there"

When we heard that we paid a bit of attention. Truthfully, this singer was a real vampire. Adonaï actually was an old friend of Carlisle and the Volturi leaders. Adonai was almost a son figure to Marcus and a really good friend to Aro. He had a vampiric aura, the kind of aura I guess humans thought Dracula gave off. He was unapproachable and gothic. However he was really Womanizer and always appeared in the TV with a new vampire girlfriend. Though… he was really handsome.

I saw Edward turn to me and cock an eyebrow. I pouted and kept watching. He was holding onto a beautiful girl that resembled, somehow, Bella. She had auburn hair though longer and dark red eyes. Her skin was so pale, yet not as sickly pale as ours, she looked healthy and beautiful. She was short, that much was obvious but she was about Bella's height. Bella. Once again her name pops up. She was curvaceous, not like Rosalie, yet more than me. The thing that caught most of my attention was the fang that stuck outside of her lower lip, barely noticeable. I groaned. Where did these humans get the idea that we had growing fangs when we ate. We did not, we have a normal set of teeth- just like them. Then I stared at Adonaï who grinned when they asked her who she was and showed his normal set of teeth. I frowned slightly.

"It is strange, Alice" Edward answered my unasked question. The others turned to us.

"She looks like Bella" he winced and his eyes averted to the floor. He still regretted leaving her; he loved her so much it hurt him that she was there alone; however he still had the idea that she'd have a normal life this way. Rosalie for once stood up and stared at us.

"She really looks like Bella! Think, if she was changed, wouldn't she look like that?!" I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at the pictures they began passing.

"She really resembles her" Carlisle said calmly. I nodded furiously. I began fidgeting and soon I couldn't take it anymore.

"I'll be right back!" I said as I sang the Hymn of Surinam in my head. Edward cocked an eyebrow and his pained look was still present. I ran out to the woods and further. Finally I took my cell and dialed Bella's house number. The phone was picked up by Charlie.

"Hello?" he asked softly as I heard the game in the background.

"Charlie? It's Alice Cullen. Hi! I wanted to know if Bella's there…" he chuckled.

"Hi Alice! No, Bella's left the house. She's studying over in Los Angeles." he said happily. Alice cocked an eyebrow.

"And she's fine?" he chuckled.

"Yes, she's good, she even met a boy, she'll bring him over in about two days. How about you come, I'm sure she'd be really surprised and happy to see you" I gasped softly.

"Oh! I'd love to! I'll just tell Carlisle and Esme and I'll be ready to go!" I said as cheerfully as I could. So Bella moved on, and was happy, and was in LA and was alive. She was alive. If she was alive how come I couldn't see any part of her future??! He laughed.

"I'm glad. Tell your parents I said hi" I 'mhm'ed and laughed.

"See you in a few days then Charlie! Bye!" I hung up and closed my phone. Why did this sound fishy? I sighed and started singing Beat it in my head as I entered the house with a bright smile. Not fake at all as I'd see my best friend.

It had been a while and I was busy. I had gone in my past vacations over to Italy and things had gone weirdly.

Yes, don't worry I do know this chapter is a three page short one but it's better. For a few chapters I'll show the flashback of Bella in Italy so chill. That's why this isn't the only update today. I'll update the others sooner if I can. Love ya! Thank you all so much for your reviews I feel happy that you like it, especially since I was pretty sure it sucked. :P anyway, I hope you enjoyed it!!
