Chapter 2

Isabella P.O.V

The next morning, I woke up, took another shower, and dressed in clothes that would be comfortable for travelling. I headed downstairs to see that Charlie had already left for work. I spent the whole day reading 'The Magician's Guild' by Trudi Canavan. I really enjoyed this book. It was different. It had magic, but it had its own take on it, and the plot was original. When Charlie came home, I cooked dinner.

"So, when are you leaving, Bells?" Charlie asked.

"Tomorrow Charlie. Early afternoon."

"Do you need a lift?"

"Oh, no. Jess said she can take me. Thanks for the offer though. I thought you were working."

"I could have taken the time off, switched shifts or something."

"Well, it's done now." I said.

We fell into silence. It was comfortable. Then, when we were done, I went and washed the dishes. I put the plates away, making sure there was no clue in the kitchen to my existence. I knew the house would be thoroughly searched and cleaned later by the members of the guard that came with dad, cleaning it of all evidence. All my records from the hospital and the school would be erased, and I would be forgotten. That was the plan all along. It had been carefully thought out before I had been allowed to come here. I sat down when I was done, and watched the game with Charlie.

After an hour, I noticed him falling to sleep quickly. I smiled sadly. I knew what was happening. Lucas was using his gift, causing everyone who had any memories of me here, and in La Push to fall asleep, so he could erase them. It didn't take long before Charlie was snoring in his chair. I stood up and lightly kissed his temple.

"Thank you for everything Charlie." I said, before sitting back down. Not five minutes later, several cars pulled up outside the house. I stayed where I was as doors opened and closed, and then the front door opened.

"Isabella."

I looked up. "Daddy." I said, before standing up and running to him, and getting caught in a hug.

"What happened, Isabella?" He asked.

"The Cullens left. They led me on."

"What do you mean, Isabella?"

"Edward. He told me I was his mate. That he loved me. And I believed him. Then yesterday, he told me that I was a pet to them. A distraction."

I heard growls, and felt dads. "He what?" Dad asked. "He called you a distraction, after convincing you, you were his mate? He'll pay for this. Did any of them say anything about turning you?"

"No. They all seemed to want me to stay human. I guess they knew, and didn't want me to find out."

I felt him growl again, as he held me in a tight hug. "Are your things packed, Isabella?" He asked after he calmed down.

I nodded. "Yeah dad. They are."

"Good. Felix, Demitri, get Isabella's things. And make sure that there is nothing here to prove she exists. Come, Isabella. It is time to leave." Dad said. He kept an arm round my shoulders, as he guided me out of the house, and to the car. It didn't take long for the members of the guard to finish, and then we were on our way to the airport. A sleek black motorbike pulled up next to us, and I saw Lucas dismount. He came round to my door, and opened it, and offered me a hand up, which I accepted. We didn't have so long to wait, seeing as we were travelling on the Volturi's private jet. All we had to do was get through customs. The jet was already fuelled and waiting.

I went straight to a seat on the jet, and strapped myself in. I settled down for a long flight. Dad was sat next to me.

"Isabella, are you alright?" Dad asked me.

"Not really. How the hell can he tell me that I was his mate, and then leave me like I was yesterday's trash? I mean, even if I had been raised by humans I would have quickly cottoned on to what a mate meant." I was crying again. Dad pulled me into a hug, and comforted me. After a while, I cried myself to sleep.

When I woke up, dad was on the phone to someone, talking at Vampire speed. I sat up straight, and stretched, clicking the cricks out of my body. Dad hung up. "Your Uncles and the rest of the guard are aware of what has happened. But we'll need the full story."

"I'll tell you when we get home, then. I don't want to have to repeat myself."

"That is understandable Isabella." He said, nodding. "I hope you haven't changed your mind during your time away." I could hear the joke in his tone.

"You know that would never happen, dad. I was raised to be a vampire. I will not change my decision now. Or ever, for that matter. You know that. And any way, it's not as if I have a choice in the matter."

"None whatsoever." Dad agreed. "The laws concerning humans who know our secret are clear. You are no exception."

"The only exception I am is that I've been around vampires for years, and up until Forks none tried to kill me." I stilled as I realised what I had said. I was in deep now. They were all going to freak. The whole jet was silent, and then, in union; "WHAT?"
