A.N.: Second Chapter to this story. I decided to complete four chapter to this story, then ever other chapter update betweenthis story and my other one. (: I have a picture of Danielle, go to my profile if you care to see it.
I walked slowly through the forest, Danielle was walking beside me. The forest was dark, and perfect for my mood. I felt like sulking.
"So, do you care to share your story?" Danielle looked at me and smiled. I looked straight ahead ignoring the fact that her eyes were on me.
"I don't have a story." I grumbled. She laughed her soft, musical laugh.
"The more anger and sadness towards the past you carry in your heart, the less you are capable of loving in the present." I stood for a moment in the middle of the forest, as I stopped so did Danielle. I was thinking about the past and how much it would hurt to get it out, and the whole started ripping in my dead heart. Danielle looked at me, with sadness, almost as if she knew what I went through and was going through. She opened her mouth to speak, and for a moment no sound came out. "I have all the time in the world, we can talk."
"I don't know if I can talk about it." She smiled at me, and I grimaced back. "It is a long story." She shrugged, and sat down on the moss, in the middle of the forest. I did the same. "My story, starts before I moved here." Danielle raised her thin eyebrows. "I lived with my mother Renne, but she fell in love with Phil. Phil travels a lot for his job, and Renne missed him, so I moved here with my father Charlie. Even though I hated it here, in Forks. I met the Cullens." I paused, grabbed my stomach, this is going to hurt. "I don't know if you met Edward Cullen, but at first I thought he hated me. It turns out he didn't he only wanted my blood so much he thought that I was temptation to fail. I figured out what he was, and once I knew his secret, we started dating. James was visiting in town, and liked my blood, and Edward threatened him. We went on a wild chase, I surrended myself to James, and he bit me. But, I didn't turn, Edward saved me, he sucked the venom out. Edward killed Jasper. I love him so much. I don't know what happened. I turned 18, and I got a paper cut, and his brother attacked me, and then they all left Forks. I didn't get to say good-bye to any of them. There were my family," I was barely audible to myself, but I knew Danielle could hear me. "James' mate Victoria wanted revenge, mate for mate, and wanted to kill me. She sent out a hunchman Laurent, and he bit me. For some reason, he didn't finish, he ran away. I knew he would come back to find me and finish me off, so I hide. When I was able to I ran away towards Port Angeles, and met you." I didn't realize how fast I must have been talking, because I thought that story would have taken a lot longer. The whole didn't tear to shreds this time, it only ripped.
"That is quite a story. I knew Edward, very nice gentleman. Why did they leave, was there an accident?" I breathed in and out. "Sorry, do you feel a little better?" I nodded, even though I didn't know the answer myself. Danielle continued, "The thing people forget is how good it can feel when you finally set secrets free. Whether good or bad, at least they're out in the open. And once your secrets are out in the open, you don't have to hide behind them anymore. The problem with secrets is even when you think you're in control, you're not."
"I think it's time to go." Danielle nodded and we both stood up. "Do you have a place where you live?" I asked Danielle slowly.
"Kind of, I built my own house in the forest." She smiled. A five year old can build a house?
"What?" I asked confused. She laughed, and motioned me to follow her. I did. She started running in a different direction, and I knew I had to follow her. It wasn't long before we came upon a house in the middle of the forest. I don't think this was the same forest of Forks, the foilage changed a bit. This forest was more dark. The house was a small house, it was made of logs. There were two windows facing us, and a wooden door. I guess if you live long enough, even for a five years old, you can build a house. I like it, it seems perfect for my new needs.
"I built this a long time ago, this was my first house, on my own." Danielle walked inside the house, and I followed her. "I was bored here and went east, to Vermont, every now and then I switch back and forth between my homes."
"But, how did you manage, six year olds can't do a lot, or get away with a lot?" I was beginning to feel that Danielle could do anything she wanted. She laughed.
"You want to know my story?" She paused and I shook my head, yes. "I was born in 1859, two years before the American Civil War. My father was young, and sent to the army. He was one of the first to die. He left my mother and I alone. She blamed him, and me. I was only two, but she made her sister come and get me. My aunt raised me, when I was bitten I was five years old. I don't remember who, or where, or even why. I was bitten, and at first I couldn't control my hunger, I killed my Aunt, I had no idea why, and I was scared. I ran into a girl my age, at night, after the night I killed my family. She brought me to Italy with her. She helped me understand. I was unhappy in Italy. When I met Carlisle he changed my way of thinking, by the time I met him I had been un-living for 59 years. I understood a lot. I moved to the new world after Carlisle left. Aro helped me move, I wanted to be close to Carlisle as a contact, he offered me to live with him. I declined. So, I moved close to him, this was when he was living in Alaska, and here I was only a little bit away. I built my house, in the forest so I would not be tempted to feed on humans. I became used to hunting on animals. Now, I can ignore humans all together. It took me awhile to build this house. But, I was a vampire, I can pick up a tree if I wanted, so I built my house. After awhile, when I knew I could live on my own I moved to Vermont. Carlisle and I still keep in contact every once in awhile." Danielle finished her story and moved to the kitchen. I was already sitting in the chair in a small livving room, the rooms were small.
"Wow."
"Yes, I know, wow." She laughed. "Follow me, you can sleep in my guest room, I only have five rooms, so you will be able to find you way around easy enough. That was the living room, and the kitchen. Here is the bathroom. My room, and here is your room." Danielle opened the door. The room was small, there was a closet on the right side, a drawer to the left, on the drawer was a stereo, and a bed in the middle of the room. "Since you live here now, you can change the room around, if you want to. I realized you don't have any bags of clothes, if you want your clothes I can go and grab them from your house, or we can go shopping." Danielle smiled, at the thought of shopping i'm sure. I think I once knew someone that eager to shop with/for me.
"I am going to go back tommorow." I said sternly, she shrugged and walked out of my room. I laid down on my bed, I closed my eyes. I wish I was invisible, I wish I didn't have to deal with this problem, I hope Charlie is taking this well, and Renne. I couldn't fight the feeling that something was wrong, I could feel it, and it's driving me crazy. I jumped out of my bed, and found Danielle in her room, I opened her door, and she looked up from the computer screen confused, then scared.
"Danielle, I have to go-" She looked around.
"Bella? Where are you?" I looked at her, what was she talking about.
"I'm right here," I said and I felt more energized.
"Bella, your power. You can become invisivble, I couldn't see you. Then you came out of thin air." I couldn't tell either she was really impressed or still scared. I smiled, then shrugged.
"I'm leaving tonight to go to Forks, I have to." I knew she understood, after what she has been through, she must understand. She nodded and turned back towards the computer screen. "I will be back, I promise." As soon as I said that I was out the door. Now, how do I become invisible do I think it, and I am. Is it that simple? I was running towards Forks, Victoria is still out there. Oh no! What if she tries to hurt Charlie? I have to go back, I have to protect him. I am an idiot, why did I leave him there, alone. Oh no! I continued my thought, of wanting to be invisible and then I was, I could feel it. I arrived in Forks within 30 minuetes of running. I was worn out, running and staying invisble was horrible. I found my house soon enough. I went to the window, the rain was getting harder outside, so I went to the porch, Charlie was in his chair. The tv was on, but Charlie wasn't looking at the tv. There was something in his hands, it was a picture of me. It was of Charlie and I, I had him take that picture of Charlie and I. I wanted to go inside and hug him so badly. I was thankful he was safe though. I walked off of the porch and went to my bedroom, I jumped up, and climbed in through the window. My room was a mess, my clothes were on the floor, and my things were all out of place. My luggage was under the bed, I grabbed it.
"I can't believe this." I muttered to myself. I put clothes in my bag. I ran out as soon as I could. Where is there a place I can go, be myself, not to far in town in case Victoria comes back for Charlie. The old Cullens house would be perfect, except it might hurt. But I need to be in this area for Charlie. I ran towards what I knew to be the Cullen's house.
The house, was just as they left it. The furniture meant something to me, it was just like me, they didn't care to bring it along with them. I stayed in the living room, I won't go upstairs if I can help it. I want to be seen again. My energy picked up. My bags were on the side of the couch, and I sat on the couch waiting for daylight. Someone pulled in the drive-way, I ran upstairs, and hide in Carlisle's office, I want to be invisble. Someone went in through the back door, and came forward. I heard someone scream.
"This is my house, I know someone is in here, and I have a weapon, show yourself!" It was Alice, I could imagine Alice closing her eyes to see if I would show myself. "BELLA!!!" Alice screamed, and I knew I would. I ran down the stairs and dropped my power.
"Oh, Alice." I said and we hugged. Alice was here, and I knew I would be okay.
