Chapter 2

After the night of Bella's transformation, 60 years had gone by. Bella had stayed with the coven that had found her in the woods the night of her transformation, but Bella's new family hunted humans. Bella didn't appear the same as she was when she was human. She had dark brown hair. It almost looked back to her mid back. It was straight but had very light waves in certain parts, and she had crimson eyes. Her skin was paler than it used to be, her skin was like every other vampires. She is called Isabella by her coven.(she doesn't remember she had changed it to Bella.) She discovered she had the power to block other powers from being used on her and to imitate other powers as well.

I someone hugged me from behind. "Hey Isabella. Happy b-day."

"It's not exactly my birthday Nicole." I said with a laugh (Nicole was the girl with short reddish brown hair.)

"Well no but it is the anniversary of the day we first met you." She was right, it had been sixty years since my family had found me and took me under they're wing.

"So what do you guys have planned for this decade?" I asked.

"Well..." Blake and the others entered the room. "We decided to head down to Forks, where we first met you and have us a nice meal with...no limits this time.

"Really?!" we all asked Blake in unison. We always limited our hunting. It was three or four people a month (each) to not blow our cover to humans.

"Yep" we all let out an light evil chuckle. So that's why he told us not to feed in the past month.

"Blake, are there others, like us, in the area?" asked Calvin.

"Hasn't been a coven there in years. We can claim it as our territory and stay there for a while" he responded.

"This is going to be one of the best anniversaries you guys have ever given me!" i said already excited. We were currently living in Vancouver, Canada. We don't stay in one place for too long. A year at max. Last year we were in Russia.

"Anyways we have to leave soon so everybody go get your stuff." Blake stated.

I'll never forget the how she looked when I left her. If only she knew how it tore me apart inside to have those words come out of my mouth. If only she knew I could tell her that it wasn't true, I didn't mean any of it, that I still loved her with a passion...before she died.

Years ago Alice had a vision of how she jumped off a cliff. She was declared dead by the city. It was all my fault. I'm the reason she died. I wasn't there for her, I wasn't there to protect her, I just left. It's been 60 years since she died, and here is was once again in Forks. We moved back about a month ago. We all agreed that it was our one true home but I wasn't sure if I could handle coming back here. It brought back so many memories, and everyday I would go to our meadow and spend hours and hours sitting alone, imagining her next to me, and I know she never will really be there ever again. Finally I left and headed home just as twilight ended and the sun was minutes away from setting.

I entered through the door of our large house and headed for the stairs.

"Edward?" I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Yes Alice."

"We're going hunting and it's been a while since you've hunted with us. Please come."

My family had also gone through depression after Bella's death. I hardly ever spent time with them. I can't do this to my family just because I'm depressed. They were the only thing that stopped me from killing myself when I found out...well we all know.

"Sure." I told Alice. She gave me a light smile and we went to meet the others.

We all ran in a together gracefully through the woods on the outskirts of Forks it was pretty close to the place we usually hunt but everyone thought we actually camped there. As we ran, we split up into our groups. Emmet with Rose, Carisle with Esme, and Jasper, Alice and I.

We stood quiet as we listened for sounds of animals. We all picked up a scent, it was a deer.

"May I?" asked Alice.

"No problem." jasper and I told her.

She rose to a tree and began to stalk her meal as it moved slowly by the trees. She lowered back to the ground once she was with in reaching distance of it. Her foot made a light crack on the floor of the forest and deer began its run, as did Alice. She fluently ran through the trees, not at her full speed then made a far leap, tackling the deer to the ground and so she began her meal.

I really wasn't in the mood for hunting for I was still too depressed but I continued listening for my meal in an area close by. I could hear Jasper, ready to leap onto a bear about quarter mile away, and I could hear Alice finishing off her deer. Finally, about half a mile away, I heard feet, and low growls. I knew what it was.

"My favorite." I told myself. I sped off at vampire speed and was there in a matter of seconds. The lion had sat down on the tall grass now. I was right behind it, standing 25 feet in the air. Just one leap is all it takes for me to take the creature down. The lion started to stand and that's when I decided to make my move. I sprang into the air and held my arms out ready to attack the mountain lion with full force.

"Jasper! Edward!"

It was Alice. I lost my concentration and landed just a few inches away, but the lion caught on and ran back into the dark trees. I could still catch it but Alice needs us right now, so I headed back towards the direction I came from.

"There you are." Alice stated as I approached them.

"What is it Alice? I'm finally out hunting with you and you cost me a mountain lion."

"Sorry Edward but this is important."

"What is it?"

Alice hesitated before answering "...I had a vision...and...I saw other vampires...they're here in Forks, and they're hunting later tonight."

"We have to go tell Carisle." said Jasper. Then we all headed back to find the others. I still remember the last time other vampires had come to Forks and how i had to protect Bella from James. That was another thing I did to danger her life. This made my depression return, I couldn't ever get her out of my head. I knew I was responsible for destroying her life.

"Edward, I can sense your emotions." Jasper told me. "You can't stay like this. Its night right. I'm not saying to forget her but to clear your head of emotion for we may have another situation coming up with this new coven."

Jasper was right. Who knows what might soon happen. I noticed Alice had a look on her face, it was a shocked and worried look. I could tell she was deep in thought. I had a feeling there was more to what was happening than what she was telling us, but i didn't question her about it or read her mind, for now. Right now we have to focus on warning the others.
