BPOV
I couldn't believe that he left me in the middle of the fucking woods. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's gone. But still, I could have died. Sorry. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Isabella Swan. Bella for short. I moved to Forks, Washington so that my mom could travel with my step-dad Phil. When I got here I met the were seven of them. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Edward. They were different from everyone else and for some strange reason, I couldn't stay away. I started to date one of them, Edward. I also found out that they are vampires. Everything was fine until my birthday and I got a papercut. My papercut bled and bleeding is not something you want to do in a room full of vampires. Now they're gone. All because of a stupid papercut.
After they left I started to change. I was no longer the weak, sniveling human who followed Edward like a lost puppy. Never again. I was a new and improved badass Bella. I was cold, cruel and looked up to no one. I changed my clothes, my hair and my attitude. My clothes were more vampire-ish, I guess is the only way to explain it. My hair was a darker brown, almost the color of my eyes. My attitude was mean. I didn't take shit at all, but boy could I deal it. I was still a straight A student. But I was better off, happier, more extraordinary.
Monday mornings usually kill me, but today, for some weird reason I was in a good mood and up early. I got up, got dressed and grabbed my bag. On my way down the stairs I got a little help from gravity and promptly kissed the floor good morning. Well there goes my day. I picked myself back up and walked into the kitchen. Charlie had left early this morning on call. Another hiker disappeared last night. People around town said bears caused it, but I knew the real reason. So off to school. My truck was slow today. It was about to go and all, so I needed to find new wheels soon. As I got to school the whole parking lot was buzzing about two new students. I looked around and over by the Cullens old spots stood two vampires. Well fuck me, here we go again.
"Hey Arizona, over here." Mike Newton yelled at me. I sighed and stalked over. Mike and Jessica have this thing were one day they like me and the next the hate the dirt I walk on. Lauren wasn't much better. She only did what Jessica did. Stupid hoes.
"What do you want Mike?" I asked. I was sick of this place and couldn't wait to get out.
"Lauren had a question." I turned to face the blonde bimbo. She sneered at me and I fake smiled back at her.
"So those new kids over there, you going to screw with them like you did the Cullens?" She really asked me that? I didn't think she could get any stupider. I guess I was wrong.
"Gee Lauren, I don't know. Why do you want first dibs?" I asked sweetly. She stared at me like I had twelve heads. Well I was just being nice. I could have sworn I heard the two vampires laughing at me from across the parking lot. I glanced at them from the corner of my eyes and then looked back at the two idiots in front of me. I quirked an eyebrow and then just walked away. Or at least I tried to. Lauren grabbed my arm and pulled me back to her.
"Well? Are you?" I was pissed. I wrenched my arm out of her grasp and walked away. Mike jogged to catch up with me and then walked beside me. I sighed and just ignored him, though he kept babbling about random things. I was only half listening until I heard the words "you", "me" and "sex". Thats when I stopped walking and turned towards him. He just looked at me with half hopeful eyes.
"What did you say?" I hissed.
"You and me should hook up. I mean I'm hot and you're you." He shouldn't have said that. Trying to get into my pants and telling me I'm ugly in the same breath, bad idea. I narrowed my eyes at him and balled my hands into fists.
"You son of a bitch. Don't you ever fucking dare tell me I should sleep with you because you're better than me. I'm not having sex with a pervert like you." I gritted through my teeth.
"Bitch you'd be lucky to have me, now come on. Are you going to let me fuck you are not." He said haughtily.
"NOT" I tried to walk past him. He wouldn't let me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the woods. Oh hell no. I was dumped and ditched in the woods and now I was going to be raped. I didn't know what to do so I screamed. The next thing I knew Mike was being ripped off of me. The male vampire of the two had Mike pinned against a tree, while the female helped me up and held me close to her.
"You okay, sugar?" the female asked. She had a southern twang and a warm smile. I nodded and stood near her. She looked at Mike and the mystery vamp. Mike looked like he had pissed himself, he was so scared. I snickered at him and collected my things from the forest floor. Mike, had so carelessly thrown my bag to the ground before he attacked me. I fixed myself up and then walked up to Mike and mystery vamp. Mike whimpered when he saw my face. I was pissed. The male vampire got really close to Mike's ear and whispered too low for me to hear, but the look on Mike's face was priceless. Poor Mike. He pissed his pants and bolted. I doubled over laughing at him. The vampires behind me chuckled. Oh shit they are still here. I turned to face them and then noticed something. There was a crest nestled on a chain around their necks. A very familiar crest. One that I had seen before. It was circular, mostly green and gold,
with green vines, a golden comet and a celtic knot with three loops. Yes a very familiar crest
indeed.
"Is there a problem there Sugar?" the male asked. I shook my head no.
"I was just wondering how you two know Jasper." The female was shocked to
say the least, while her companion had a smug smile on his face.
"What?" the female stammered.
"The crests around your necks. Jasper said that it was his family's. The
Whitlock family crest." I could tell the female didn't really believe me. The male just
stood there and watched.
"What do you think Dear?" she asked. He smiled and nodded his head in a
very enthusiastic yes.
"Okay. If you know about the crest was does the motto say at the bottom?" she
was testing me. I could understand. Jasper had been through hell and back.
"Virtus, Sapientia, Unitas. It means power, wisdom and unity." I stated
remembering the day Jasper told me.
Flashback.
Emmett and Jasper were put on what the family called Bella-sitting. I didn't like it
one bit. So here I was trying to read while Em and Jasper wrestled on the front lawn.
The noise was terrible and I couldn't concentrate. I huffed and set my book aside. Just
as I looked back towards the yard a piece of metal flew through the air and hit me on
the head with a audible thunk. I sat there dazed for a few seconds. Emmett and Jasper
didn't seem to notice me or my newest injury. I leaned down and picked up the piece of
metal. I noticed it was a crest attached to a leather cord. It wasn't the Cullen's that's for
sure.
"EMMETT! You idiot. You lost my crest." Jasper yelled. Emmett looked
sheepishly at the ground.
"I'll help you find it." Em offered and the two started searching the lawn the and
the outer woods. I then looked down at the crest in my hand. This must be Jasper's. I
looked back up and saw the two just at the edge of the forest.
"Hey guys."I called.
"Not now Bells. I gotta help Jasper find his crest. It's really important to him."
Emmett called back.
"Guys."
"Not now Bella." Emmett said.
"Guys."
"Bella later." Emmett answered and resumed searching.
"Guys." I tried again, my patience coming to an end.
"Not now Bella." Emmett pleaded.
"GUYS!" I screamed.
"WHAT?" Emmett yelled.
"Do you mean this crest?" I asked as I held it up by the cord. Jasper whipped his
head around and darted to me. His eyes lit up when he saw what I had. I gladly handed
it over to him with a smile. He smiled back. A real smile too. Not the fake ones he put on
for Alice. A real genuine smile. I took one last look at the crest and then turned around to
pick up my book. I was acutely curious about the crest itself and where it came from.
Jasper seemed to pick up on my curiosity and sat down in one of the chairs.
"Bella, what do you know about crests?" Jasper asked me. I took the seat across
from him. Emmett sat down on the porch steps facing us with a smile on his face.
"Not much really. Yours is definately interesting." I said. This made Jasper grin
that much more. I guess he was really excited that I liked his crest. Emmett watched the
two of us amazed. Why I couldn't tell you.
"Well, Bella. My human family wasn't rich with money, but my father always said
that we had everything a person needed. We were smart, we were strong and we were
a family. My creator had my family killed to punish me one day." Jasper's voice cracked
slightly. He cleared his throat and kinda shook himself a little. "When I finally left my
creator, I went to a jeweler and had that crest made. The comet represents virtus or
power, because us Whitlocks are strong people. The vines are sapientia, wisdom and
the loops at the bottom stands for unitas, unity. As Whitlocks, we are a family and as a
family we stick together," he finished with a proud smile. He frowned and then added.
"Bella where did that bruise on you forehead come from?"
End Flashback
The female smiled at me, her mind finally at ease. I kind of stood there
awkwardly until the male realized what was going on and introduced himself.
"I'm sorry little bit. I'm Peter Whitlock, Jasper's brother and this is my mate and
wife Charlotte." Peter said. Charlotte smiled wider at me. I knew right then that we
would be friends forever. Both walked with me to class. At lunch they sat with me and
then they walked me to my truck when school was over. For the next few days they
watched over me to keep Mike away from me and so on. We became fast friends. Pete
was a bit of a prankster and loved puling a fast one on people. Charlotte, Char as she
insisted I call her, became my best friend. She and I went shopping and hung out
together. Discussing what ever came to mind. I soon found out that they didn't have
anywhere to stay. They were living at a motel in town and feeding in Seattle.
"Pete," I said one day during lunch. "You and Char need to get a place of your
own here. There is a house up for sale not to far from mine and it is kind of secluded.
No one will see your sparkly asses." Char looked at her mate excitedly. I kind of envied
the love that flowed effortlessly between them. Pete smiled at her and then looked at
me.
"I'll take a look at it. Thanks Lil-bit." I scowled outwardly at the nickname Pete had
given me, but to be honest I liked it. It made me feel wanted. From lunch we moved on
to gym and then home. Char stayed with me while Peter went and checked out the
house. Char was jumping up and down excited in a very Alice like fashion, yet different.
Charlie came home while Char and I were waiting, took one look at us girls and huffed.
"Geez Bells can't you hang out with a guy for once." Charlie had been pushing to
get me to hang out with Jacob at the Rez. But Jacob and I had a falling out on my
choice of friends, meaning Char and Peter, especially since his first time phasing. I had
told Charlie this leaving out the werewolf and vampires. He wasn't impressed.
"Give it a few minutes Dad, Peter will be here." I said knowing it would piss him
off.
"That isn't what I meant Isabella." Ouch. I got the first name. Yikes. I snorted and
then went back to talking to Char. She gave me a look.
"Listen Sug. He's just trying to look out for ya. Be more respectful to him." She
chastised. I managed a pitiful look and fake sighed.
"You're right Char. I'll be nice to him." I said dejectedly. Char smiled smugly to
herself proud of what she had done. Pete walked in the door a couple of minutes later,
kissed Char on the cheek and sat down in between us.
"Well you were spot on Babygirl. The house is perfect for the three of us." Pete
said happily using the other nickname he had given me.
"The three of us?" Char and I questioned in unison. Pete waggled his eyebrows.
"Yep." He said over pronouncing the p with a slight popping sound. Char and I
looked at him as if he had three heads.
"Sorry Lil-bit. But you're dad will be back down here in a few minutes and he's
gonna tell you to get out. If you ain't gonna date Jacob Black you ain't gonna live in his
house. Though he ain't gonna live here much longer anyways. He's moving down to the
Rez to marry a Sue Clearwater. They've been havin' an affair." Pete said.
"He wouldn't." Char gasped and with that Charlie walked down stairs.
"Bella, I've made up my mind." He started
"About what dad?" I asked, knowing the answer. He sighed and then looked at
Peter and Char.
"Can you leave?" He spat out in distrust. I was shocked by the blatant dislike
toward them. I opened my mouth to defend them but Peter held up a hand.
"Don't bother Bella. We'll talk to ya later." Peter said getting up with Char at his
side.
"No. I want you here." I insisted. Charlie grimaced but continued.
"I want you to date Jake or get out of my house." he said. He waited for my
reaction and was surprised when he was met with calm and patients.
"Is that all?" I asked. Charlie nodded. "Alright then." Charlie smiled and looked
hopeful.
"Oh great Bells. I'll give Jake a call right now." He said excitement and happiness
leaking in his tone.
"Oh hell no Dad. I'll be upstairs packing. I'll move out of the country before I go
out with a prejudice jerk like Jacob Black." I stated adamantly. Charlie's face fell then
turned to one of disappointment.
"There is a connection between you two. You guys could be so much more is you
just gave it a try. Love is a sacred thing between a man and a woman." Charlie yelled. I
snorted
"Is that why you've been having an affair with Sue Clearwater? I threw back at
him. I watched amused as Charlie took in what I said.
"How... how did you know?" He asked surprised.
"I have my ways." I said He sat down and glared at me. I normally would have felt
bad, but I was angry. He was kicking me out all for not dating the boy of his choosing. I
was pissed.
" Fine. Out. Get out then. You've got until tonight to get out of my house." And
with that Charlie walked out.
Peter, Char and I walked upstairs to my room. Thanks to Char and Pete's
vampire speed I was all pack and ready to go with in the hour. We loaded all of my stuff
in the back of Pete's truck and then drove away. Char had been unusually quiet during
the past hour, until now when she spoke up.
"Hey Bells, remember what I said about respectin' your dad and all?" she said
"Mmhmm."
"Well fuck it. If your daddy's gonna treat you like that he don't deserve any
respect at all." Char said. I smiled at her and squeezed her stone shoulder letting her
know that I heard her. She smiled back at me, which got wider.
"Well lets go. We've got ourselves a new home." Pete and I laughed at Char's
excitement about their new house. Well our new house.
So this is chapter one... This is definately going to be multi chapter and multi POV... I'll hopefully have the next few chapters up soon... Til then please R&R Laciekat16 :3
