Bellas POV

Chapter 2

I had just left the Cullens and Washington behind. Tears streamed down my face. Cut it out I told myself severely. I needed to keep strong.

Currently I was flying over some area in California. I was wearing the necklace, charm bracelet and clothes that I had received from the Cullens and Bella upon my departure. More tears slid down my cheek. I quickly wiped them away to see 10 Flyboys appear. I dropped 5 feet went behind them and kicked them on their spines, making them drop. I was jut trying to keep airborne when one slashed my arms while two grabbed me fro behind. Three others started punching me and kicking me. I tried to ignore the pain. Then, I saw two more bird-kids fly out and join the fight against the Flyboys "Sorry to crash this party but it looks as if I don't really care," a girl snarled at them, while the other bird-kid started fighting the extra three . "It is time for you to die" one said in a monotone voice at her.

"Oh, please. Like I haven't heard that one before," she scoffed back.

I just hung there taking the punches from the Flyboys. I was about to pass out. Then she flew over to me and started fighting off the Flyboys of from me. As soon as they let go of me. I tried to keep air-borne but I felt myself falling. Darn wings. I thought right as a pair of arms caught me. I heard the girl yell something and another pair of arms draped one of my arms across a pair of shoulders. I passed out at that point.

Then, I woke up on the stone floor of a cave. There was a dimmed out fire that looked as if it had just been put out. The girl and the boy were peering over at me and I heard the girl question where I came from and things like that. Of course she would suspect me to be with the School. I told her the basics: name, come from School, on the run, how they found me and please trust me.

A guy came up to us and asked me "Are you all right?" "Yeah," I looked at him and noticed the slight cloudiness in his eyes. Oh. He was blind.

I looked around and saw more bird-kids. There were 6 of them all together and a dog. Hmm. Weird. Oh well.

I learned that the girl's name was Max, the guy that was with her in the fight was Fang, the blind guy was Iggy and the others were Gazzy, Angel and Nudge. And the dog was Total.

I fell asleep after that.

My dreams were terrible. More like nightmares. They began as my fondest, most awesome moments of my 14 years of life. I started dreaming of the Cullens and Bella again. I don't know why but I felt so close to Bella. Like I knew her for all my short, horrible, nightmarish life. Maybe it was because of the fact that we had the same name. Hmm.

My dream, I mean nightmare, of a memory that seemed so distant, although it was only a few days back, started out at the Cullens' white, mansion-ish house back in Forks. The family was bored and Bella was over. Everyone was gathered around the living room. So, we started talking about stuff. The Cullen's started asking me questions about the school. "So where is it located?" asked Emmett, a hint of anger he was trying to hide showing in his voice. Out of all of the Cullen's, Emmett seemed the most outraged when I had told him about the School, although Edward had told me that Rosalie had the biggest temper. I looked around at all of them. They were all so inhumanly beautiful, each of the faces showing compassion and…like they cared about me.

"Umm, somewhere in California. One of the branches, anyway. Another mutant had told me that the School is connected with a company Itex and that there are hundreds, well a bunch, of branches located all over the world." Emmett, Edward and Alice growled at me when I said mutants, they didn't like me calling myself a mutant. When I showed them my wings which were brown-ish on the outside, then tan and white on the innermost parts, speckled with occasional and random gold, silver, tan and brown feathers, they had been so awed. It was so unusual. Bella's eyes had been like dinner plates. I think that's what my eyes had looked like when I learned that they were vampires.

I would have offered to give them a ride, but I had a feeling we would drop like rocks. Edward chuckled at my last thought. Grr. Mind readers. At that thought he flashed me a smirk and I shot him the bird.

I couldn't believe it here I was bonding with actual people. Well, vampires but whatever.

Alice jumped up and said "Lets play a game!" just as Carisle's beeper rang and he went off to the hospital and Esme said that she to run some errands.

"'K, how about…Truth or Dare?" I suggested after we had all said our mumbled goodbyes.

"Yeah!" Bella exclaimed. She seemed excited, but I had no idea why.

"Ok, Alice. Truth or Dare?" asked Edward a mischievous grin on his face.

"Umm, dare." she said.

" I dare you to..dress up in the old chicken suit, do and sing the chicken dance, outside in the rain while splashing around in the water. And, when you come back you will eat popcorn off the ground like a chicken!!" demanded Edward.

Wow, evil much?

Alice looked like she was going to scream and start jumping around whining. "Fine," she growled. Jasper went over her to comfort her and Edward left only to appear a second later, next to Bella, holding a chicken costume and a boombox.

Alice grabbed it and left the room for a second appearing back in front of the door. Emmett grabbed a videotape. Alice started sending him death glares. She marched out as Edward clicked the play button. "I don't want to be a duck…….," she continued singing the song, doing the moves furiously, making the water splash all around her. Even though she looked ridiculous, she still looked so inhumanly beautiful in the rain. They all did.

Then she stomped inside and started pecking at the popcorn on the floor that Rosalie had thrown around, all while being videotaped by a shaking Emmett who was laughing so hard that he was doubled over. As was everyone else, Bella looked like a red tomato and Jasper that looked like he was trying really, really, hard to not laugh. Alice ran upstairs as fast as light… no as fast as a vampire and was back in a new outfit in less than a minute, standing next to Jasper and furious.

Then, just as we were gathered around, the door burst open. There, sanding in the doorway, were my worst enemies. Stupid Flyboys.

I ran up to the first one in the doorway kicked it in the ribs..or metallic ribs, only to have it grab my foot twist it and make me fall over backwards. I looked around to see Bella covered by Edward in a corner while 2 Flyboys gathered around him. Emmett and Rosalie were holding of 3 Flyboys each, as was Jasper. Alice however had 3 Flyboys holding her while one ran his claws through her, shredding her stomach. "ALICE!!!!NOO!!" I shrieked, tears starting to form in my eyes, just as she screamed. Edward ran over to her and started fighting the Flyboys there. Which left Bella unprotected. I spun around kicked down the Flyboys and kicked its spine. I unfurled my wings flew over at hyper-speed to Bella and stood in front her. The Flyboys charged at me. I flew over them and kicked the first ones spine, it immediately dropped. I started fighting them off, but there more had gathered around us and now there were at least five of them. and in a matter of seconds, four Flyboys had me and Bella both held captive. Dammit. I always mess everything up. This is all my freaking fault. If I had just left as soon I was turned and well none of this would have happened.

"Lilly, don't you dare blame yourself for any of this," growled Edward.

I smiled, hearing him call me Lilly. The memory of that day flooded back to me and fresh tears sprung to my eyes. Bella and I had gotten so confused when someone said Bella and Bella absolutely refused to be called Isabella, though everyone did have fun calling her that. So Emmett said "Hey, lets call that Bella," pointing at me "Lilly!" "Why Lilly?" I asked. "I don't know, but you look like a flower. So colorful and I once had a falcon named Lilly. Your wings remind me of her." I had been so touched. "Ok…so my new temporary, falcon/flower name is Lilly." I had announced. I pulled myself back into reality, tears still in my eyes as I tried furiously to blink them away.

"But it is my fault! If I would have left as soon I was better none of this would have happened!!" I yelled at him. By now Emmett and Jasper had beat the Flyboys they were fighting and Edward had just finished the one that had shredded Alice's stomach. I winced, looking at her.

"No, this isn't!" Edward practically yelled at me, while Bella, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie furiously nodded their heads in agreement, figuring out what I had been thinking a few moments ago.

"You," said a flyboy in a metallic voice pointing towards me. "No. I have a name. It's Bella. Or Lilly…Hmm lets' give you a name…how about Dumbhead?" I snarled at it.

It punched me, hard. Ouch. "Look, just let her go," I said pointing at Bella. "I'll do whatever you want, just let her go!" I was yelling at the Flyboy now. Dumbhead, as I liked to call him nodded to the two idiots that were holding Bella and they let her go. She half stumbled, half ran to Edward, tripping over something invisible only to have Edward catch her in his embrace. I sighed, tears trailing down my cheek as I looked to my family. I had stayed with them for over a year now. Tomorrow was supposed to be a special day. Edward was supposed to propose to Bella, again. Bella and Jake were on good terms. Everything was perfect.

The Flyboy punched me in the stomach, my breath leaving me in a audible oomf. Be strong. Pain is just a message, I told myself.

Emmett roared and stepped forward. But a click made both him and my heart stop. I looked up and saw a metallic gun pointed Bella's head.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!!..JUST TELL ME WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT AND LEAVE THEM ALONE!" I screeched at the Flyboys.

"Lilly we aren't leaving you to go WITH THEM!" Edward roared hearing the meaning behind my words.

"What do you want?" I said through clenched teeth to the Flyboy, ignoring Edward, instinctively trying to step forward towards Bella.

" We are to take you to the school and you are to go silently."

"Fine," I managed to get out through my tears and anger. Realization hit me as I figured out that I wouldn't ever be able to see the Cullen's again. Edward roared again.

"Edward. Listen to me. It's the only way. And, it was probably only a matter of time before I decided to go," I saw he was going to say something and I added "What about Bella? Do you think they will let her go if I don't go with them?" That stopped him. He stepped back, looking defeated

Tears seemed endless in my eyes. They were pouring out like waterfalls down my face.

I turned to the Flyboy and said "Ok, I'll go with you. But can I just have a moment with them?" I was surprised to see the Flyboy nod.

I ran over to where my family was standing and into Rosalie's embrace. She had been very sisterly to me. She was basically my sister, as was Alice. I cried into her shirt and ripped myself away, tearing my heart apart along with it. I went over to Emmett and he gave me a bear-hug, hugging me so tightly that I would have been crushed if I hadn't been half a vampire. I went to Edward next and thought Don't worry about me. Take care of Bella and your family. Tell Carisle and Esme goodbye and tell all of them I love them very much. You guys are my first family and always will be. And, give Bella what she wants; once you guys are married, turn her. It'll be for the best. I hugged him and he whispered "What about you?" I'll fly out right now and make sure they follow me so they won't bother you guys again. And neither will I. "No, visit as much as possible. We need you. You are our family," he whispered as I went over to Bella. "Take care, Bells" I whispered as we hugged so tightly it was as if we would never see each other again. Oh, wait we wouldn't.

"Bella. Please be careful and come back. Please, we all need you." She whispered back, and I could see in her brown eyes that she meant it while she searched my emerald eyes, that were outlined in that golden color that the Cullens had, to see if I would.

"I'll try, Bella."

I went over to Alice who was on the floor, before she could say anything else.

I looked at Alice and how terrible she looked. She was healing but there was dried blood everywhere. "Alice, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me," I said as I hugged her.

"What?! Bella Lilly Cullen," I winced when she said Cullen. My FAMILY, I was being ripped away from my family "You did NOT have anything to do with this." She scolded me. "We are your family and we stick together. Vampire or beautiful bird-kid vampire. We stick together, and you better come back to visit us" she said hugging me tightly again. I nodded and went over to Jasper. "I'm sorry about what I did Jasper. Alice would have never been hurt if it weren't for me. I'm so sorry" I said, now sobbing into his shirt. "Shh. I swear you're just like Bella. Always blaming yourself for everything. It isn't your fault. Now take care and come back" he added fiercely. I nodded again and hugged them all again. They all gathered around me as the Flyboy barked "Lets go, vermin," roughly grabbing my arm. "No, its ok. Follow me, m'kay Dumbhead?" I said , unfurling my wings fast as heck and taking off outside through the open door. I turned around and saw the five Flyboys grab each Cullen and run their claws through them. I started sceaming, sobbing, shrieking, yelling and zoomed back into the house. I went between the Flyboys and the Cullens, using my body and wings to cover the Cullens.. the Flyboys shredding me to pieces. That's when I woke up, knowing that I was probably screaming while sleeping, and saw four anxious, nervous and confused faces peering at me.
