I opened my email when I got home from a New Year's party and was super surprised on how many people put the story on their favorites, story alerts, and reviewed. Thanks to:

Now enough with my rambling and onto the story.

Chapter Two

Bella Swan

My family stood behind me quietly; as we heard their soft footfalls onto the forest floor. I had changed our coven's appearances so the people who trespassed didn't recognize us. Elena, being a natural dirty blond, wanted her hair to be jet black. She decided she wanted to try it and see if it worked on her beautiful heart shaped face. Everyone, excluding me, wanted to match Elena's hair color. I did it just for fun. I changed everyone's eye color to a shocking violet purple with golden specks glittering in them. I left my hair color the way it was, thinking nobody would guess who I was. We stood under the shade of a HUGE tree, waiting so we could confront them.

My body froze as they got closer. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I suddenly cursed myself for not changing my signature chocolate brown hair. It was too late. They had already seen me.

"Hello," said Jasper, sending us waves of calmness over to us. Typical Jasper.

Carlos stepped up and introduced us one by one to the Cullen family.

"And this is-", he said pointing to me before I cut him off.

"Isabel," I said, welcoming and cheery. "But, you can call me Belle"

I saw the pained look on his face as I realized how familiar the name would be to them…

I never told my family about the Cullens, especially with Nessie around. I didn't want to tell her about her father just yet.

Edward Cullen

Life was not the same without Bella. I refused to hunt or play music for weeks. My family was falling apart. When I left, Esme broke down in tearless sobbing. Emmett yelled at Rosalie. Jasper lashed out on poor Alice because of all of the emotions spilling out of us. It had been seventy years. Seventy years since I left her broken and on the forest floor. Seventy years since I messed up badly. We were moving… again. Our new home would be in Great Falls, Montana. When we left Bella, we waited sixty good years before we returned to our home in Forks. Alice decided to take us shopping for new clothes in Augusta, Maine. As we ran by a forest in Maine, I heard a loud splash, laughter, and voices. The smell that accompanied the sounds was surprisingly not human.

"Carlisle!" I called, stopping in front of a tree.

They all paused and ran back to me.

"Yes, Edward?" he replied back.

"There are a group of unknown people over there," I said pointing towards the people. "They aren't human. I think they are a different coven of vampires."

We walked over to them human pace just in case our suspicions were incorrect. We were all in the shade, the strangers and our family. The tall, large one stood in front of all of them looking absolutely calm.

I felt a big wave of calm wash over me. I whipped my head towards Jasper, raising my eyebrow. For precautions, I heard Jasper think.

He stepped up and introduced our family, muttering his thoughts in his head. The tall one, Carlos, told us the names of his family.

"And this is-," he started before getting cut off.

"Isabel, but you can call me Belle," a brunette said.

A painful tug in my chest commenced as I remembered her. Belle sounded like Bella and they both had the same chocolate brown hair. I ran away in a very non-human way, heading for a dark, uninhabited area. As I left, I took a glance at Belle leaving me unsurprised that she was a vampire.

Bella Swan

I frowned as I saw him run away, vampire speed, deep into the forest. I knew where he was heading for. He was trying to find an empty area, somewhere into the depths of the forest. In the direction he was going I figured he would be at the cliff in just a few seconds. The cliff was somewhere I went to when I was a newborn, somewhere no one would able to see my blood red eyes and my constant thirst. Alice, the small jumpy one, ran after Edward with Jasper trailing behind her.

Eh, sorry. It's kinda short. I have a lot of things going on right now. Boys, school, work. Too much to handle. I hope you forgive me for such a wait on an update. Anyways, I hope you like it. I personally think it isn't my best, but it's still something. Right?

Peace, Love, Cupcakes
