Chapter One: Life as it is
Jane and I arrived in my bedroom to retrieve everything I wanted. As I stepped lightly over to my bed, a floorboard squeaked. I leaned over, lifted it up quickly, and found everything I had gotten for my birthday and on top was an envelope. I opened it and pulled out a letter. It read:
My Dearest Isabella,
I am doing this for your own good. You will never fit in my world. Of course, I want you still. I love you still and I always will. My family loves you. This is the hardest thing I have had to do. I Love You, Bella.
Be safe,
Edward Cullen
I gasped covering my mouth. Jane came over and took the letter from me. She bit her lip. She smiled. I nodded and jumped out the window before I went to the door. I knocked. Charlie opened the door. He burst into tears at the sight of me. Charlie looked a lot older when it had just been two years. "Bells?" He choked out. I nodded and was engulfed in his warmth.
"Where were you? I had thought you'd run off with Cullen." He cried not releasing me.
"Dad, I left the day Edward broke up with me. I got plastic surgery and changed my name I wanted to leave this life in the dust. I wanted to forget him. I really wanted to come back but I thought you'd hate me." I sighed.
"Well, we have to go stop the funeral." He pulled me towards the cruiser.
"Whose?" I asked putting my seat-belt on.
"Yours. Edward came back and said he had not seen you since he dumped you. We searched everywhere." He said as he sped off towards the cemetery. We arrived and in the very front was half the town. Charlie got out before me and when I got out everyone stopped and stared. Then I saw them. The Cullens. Edward gasped. I looked down.
"Everyone, Bella is back!" Charlie yelled and Edward was suddenly in front of me.
"You're a vampire?" He whispered. I tapped Charlie's shoulder.
"I need to leave I have a photo shoot at two. " I turned and speed walked out towards the road. Edward rushed over to me.
"Bella?" He whispered.
"You did it for my own good, I understand that. I still don't forgive you and neither do they." I kept on walking. I turned and kissed him as passionately as I could.
"That's what you're missing out on." I jumped up and ran off. I laugh at the memory.
"Bella, come on lets do something fun tonight!" Jane squeals.
"Like what?" I laugh. God forgive me for asking.
"Well we could get manicures and pedicures, go shopping, get make overs, flirt with human guys. I don't know, FUN!" She scream.
"Fine whatever I need something that'll make Edward want me again." I sighed.
"Bella, I was there with you we found the note. We know he still loves you plus you could just change your appearance anyway." Jane laugh poking me.
"Yeah, I know. I just miss him. It's been a long fifteen years and why would I change my appearance for him?" I ask narrowing my eyes. She smirk.
"You'd better stop or I'll reverse the aging." I laugh. She got tired of being picked on for being young so I aged her till she was about twenty-two. She pouts.
"Fine," I sigh."Let's go." I sigh slipping on two tanks, skinny jeans, knee high stiletto boots, about ten necklaces, and some light make up.
"Alice would be proud." Jane laughs coming back in wearing a black tank, distressed skinny jeans, hot pink stilettos, and pink and black bracelets. Her perfect blonde hair was down in waves.
"And Rosalie would be saying to stop stealing her look." I giggles.
"Well, it's not my fault I'm so damn hot." She grabs her bag off my bed and grabs my arm. I teleport us to the huge garage.
"Which car?" I ask.
"Something flashy." She says. I have my shield up because I'm getting random visions of every little thing. We get in the black Ferrari I had first arrived in. We pull up to the mall…..and find the Cullens. Damn! Alice is leaning out the driver's side of a yellow Ferrari.
"Bella? What the hell? Why are you in Italy? Who is your friend?" She asks glaring at Jane. I had aged her and Alec because everyone was picking on them. Jane now looks like Avril Lavine and Alec looks like Justin Bieber. Jane smiles at her and Alice clutches her head. I nudge her arm and Alice glares.
"Jane? Bella you joined the Volturi?" Edward demand.
"Yes, what choice did I have?" I ask.
"I love you Bella. Will you forgive me? Be with me?" He pleads.
"Yes and yes." I say and kiss him.
"Really?" He asks incredulously.
"Really." I agree.
"Bella, come on we have to go shopping!" Jane whines.
"Bella, shopping? You're kidding right?" Rose says getting out of the mustang.
"Really! She's a total shopaholic now." Jane giggles.
"Wow!" Alice squeals happily. Rose grimaces and walks over to me. She hugs me tightly.
"Bella, I'm so sorry I was such a bitch. You always were Edward's world. I guess I was just upset that Eddie thought you were more beautiful than me. And the truth is you are." She whispers quickly. I look up into her golden eyes. Suddenly I feel wetness on my cheeks. I wipe the tears; they are stained pink because of happiness.
"You can cry?" Alice asks amazed.
"Yeah, it one of my gifts." I laugh.
"One?" Alice gasp. I laugh.
"I'll explain later. But I have a secret to tell you." I sigh.
"What?" Carlisle said curiosity alight in his warm eyes.
"I'm the princess of the Volturi." I whisper.
"No way." Rose giggle.
"Yeah," Jane giggle.
"So, let's shop. I need something sexy for tomorrow." I smile.
"You are sexy." Edward whispers wrapping his arms around my waist. I look up and smile. I smooth my shield over all of us.
"Yo, Bella!" I hear Felix call. I ignore him. We walk into the mall happily.
