Bella was nervous; she didn't know how to tell Jacob what happened. Bella took in a deep and struggled to let out the words to her painful memory.

"Jake, the Cullen's are gone," I whispered loud enough to know Jake heard.

"Why did leave Bella?" Jake asked trying to hide his happiness.

"I think it had something to do with what happened to me last night," I tried swallowing every tear that threatened to surface.

"Bella, you can tell me anything, I'll always be here for you," Jacob said as he put his arm around my shoulders.

I told him everything and in seconds of finishing a small tear fell down my check, I felt a sense of relief being able to tell someone, to be able to get my anger out. I knew I still had some issues to face, but I felt better being able to share with someone who truly cared for me. Jacob seemed furious, but he didn't leave me. He was there where no one else was there for me.

Few Months Later…

Jacob has been my rock, my best friend throughout everything that has happened to me. After the Cullen's left Jacob discovered he was a werewolf, he soon imprinted on another girl from the reservation but he still remained my best friend. Jacob's pack became like a family to me, they understood everything and helped me heal. Without any distractions I applied to an Italian music school and was accepted. I leave today; I grew from everything that happened. Victoria was there the day I told Jacob what happened; she became a close friend of mine too. She went through the same thing in her human life and was there to help me through everything. Victoria is still a nomad and travels the world sending me the occasional postcard or email. She's offered to change me, but I don't think I'm ready yet. I moved on, it still hurts to mention his name, or his family, but with time I know it'll all be gone. Soon I'll be on my way to Italy to start a new life. Volterra, Italy here I come.

My flight is set to depart in 30 minutes, everyone is here, Charlie, Sue (Charlie's Fiancé), Jacob and the Pack. I said my teary goodbyes to my family and boarded my flight. I sent one last text to Victoria who was meeting me in Italy. I found my seat which was next to the window. I sat down quietly and got out my phone which was on the verge of dying, and my charger was in my luggage. I sighed and sat back on my seat. As I closed my eyes I felt someone take the seat next to me. I opened my eyes slightly to notice a gorgeous young boy occupying the seat next to me. What caught my attention the most were his eyes, dark burgundy eyes. They were captivating; I looked at him and noticed a familiar symbol on the necklace on his chest. I thought about what it meant, and it took me a few seconds to realize it was Volturi symbol… He was a human blood drinking vampire. I gasped and his head instantly turned to look at me, I haven't been this scared since James.

"Hello, are you okay?" His voice was angelic, it sent a slight shiver down my spine, I couldn't answer so I just nodded. This was going to be a long flight.

I couldn't text Victoria, I needed a charger. I looked around and noticed the vampire next to me had the exact same phone as me.

I tapped his shoulder trying to get his attention, "I'm really sorry to disturb you, but I was wondering if I could borrow your phone charger?" I tried to not sound nervous.

"Sure," He reached in his pocket and handed me the cord, "Why are you headed to Italy?"

I plugged in my phone quickly, "Escape Forks, I'm attending college in Volterra."

"What do you plan on studying?" he asked sounding curious.

"Music, I write and sing songs," I answered becoming more comfortable. "Why were you in Washington?"

"Business vacation," He answered, I could feel his eyes burning holes in my head.

"Does it bother you?" I asked genuinely curious.

"Does what bother me" he said.

"The bloodlust, I mean don't you feel bothered being around so many humans in a small space?" I was genuinely curious this was the reason Victoria never took planes, too much blood.

"You think I'm not human?" He said.

"No, I can tell you're a vampire, and from the necklace around your neck I can tell you're from the Volturi guard." I forced my voice to stay calm when I said this.

"How do you know so much of my kind?" He seemed to sound curious and a little bit angry.

"I was dating a vampire for a while, but things went wrong and it was over." I said straining to keep the tears from flowing forwards.

"Hmm what happened between the two of you?" He asked sounding extremely curious.

"Am I supposed to tell you my life story now? I mean I don't even know your name?" I was trying to keep away from talking about Him.

I heard him laugh, it was an angelic laugh, I had to contain myself from smiling. "Excuse me, my name is Alec Volturi, and what is your name?"

"Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella," I said looking at his beautiful smile.

"The name suits you Bella," He said with a small twinkle in his eyes.

"Thank you," I quickly got my phone and sent Victoria a message.

"So what happened between you and your boyfriend that caused you to drift apart," He asked in a smooth calming voice. I didn't want to answer, but I felt a pull telling me it was okay to answer, that I would be safe.

"The nigh of my birthday, there was a problem I got a small cut and one of his brothers attempted to attack me. He tried to save me but ended creating a larger cut; his father was doctor so he healed me up. He took me home; my father was gone so it was just me and him. At first I didn't think it was strange, but then something seemed to click in him and he started to get a bit aggressive. I tried pushing him off but he was a vampire so it was no use. He took it from me and left, he never apologized. The next morning they were all gone, never a letter or an email nothing." I felt a flood of tears roll down my cheek. I was stunned; Alec let out a small growl and wiped my tears away.

"Why didn't you do anything?" He asked sounding angry.

"What was I supposed to do? He and his family were gone, I couldn't exactly turn him into the police, that would potentially reveal the vampire secret, and from what I know of the rules that's not allowed." I was beginning to get angry.

"I'm sorry Bella, no one should go through that," He sounded genuinely sorry.

"You shouldn't be sorry it wasn't your fault. I managed to heal a little bit, it took some time, but I was able to try and move one. I'm still angry that he was never punished, but I don't want to wrap my life around it and not be able to move on." I tried sounding calm but I soon felt a wave of tears overcome me. I began to cry, I tried controlling myself, but it all came at once, everything I was containing was hitting me all at once.

I heard Alec growl, and he put his muscular arm around me. I instinctively leaned into his touch and felt myself go to sleep.
