A/N: So here is another chapter, also you should know most of this story will be from Bella's POV. Also this is kinda like a flashback, but it's more like Bella just recounting events then actually remembering them. Anyway onto the story.

Chapter 1 - Broken

Bella POV

It has been a year since Edward left me broken in the woods and I haven't been the same since. For a whole week I didn't move from bed. I didn't eat or drink or react in anyway. Renee even came down to try and revive me, but it didn't work. I don't know what finally broke me out of that trance, but after that I changed. I wasn't the same Bella anymore. A few months after my breakdown I was still like a zombie. I did everything I was supposed to while shrouded in numbness. When I started hanging out with Jacob Black the numbness began to fade. He was slowly making me happy again. I knew Jacob loved me, but I also knew I could never love him the same way. We were extremely reckless. I loved it. I even got us both some old motorcycles that Jacob fixed up.

I had completely changed. I was no longer the sweet innocent Bella I used to be, I was someone dark. I had nothing to lose so I feared nothing. I thought I was free from the pain with my adrenaline clouded thoughts until the day Charlie died. He had died in a small shoot-out at a local store, it had been six months since Edward had left. I could feel the pain bubbling up again, but the pain was replaced by anger when after the funeral Renee told me she didn't want me living with her and Phil. I wasn't good enough for her either apparently. Jacob had invited me to live with him and his father, but I refused, I knew how he felt about me and I didn't want to be around that all the time. Then the day came that Jacob stopped talking to me. Billy told me he was sick, but every time I went down there neither of them were home. I knew Billy was lying to me. Jacob had left me too. Eventually I stopped feeling the pain and instead felt anger. People at school were afraid of me because I lashed out at everyone.

Then there was the day I got expelled because I broke Jessica Stanley's nose because she pissed me off, that was the day Jacob came by. I was pissed to say the least. I noticed he had grown a lot since I had seen him last, he was monstrous in size bigger even than Emmett. It didn't hurt me anymore to think of them, all it brought was a surge of rage as I thought about the heartless bitch they had turned me into. He told me that he was sorry that he hadn't been to see me, but there was some stuff he needed to sort out. He wouldn't tell me what this 'stuff' was but I kept baiting and goading and taunting him trying to get him to tell me. He was refusing to tell me, but I could tell he was getting agitated, he was shaking like a leaf. Finally he just ran out of the house. I made to follow him but he ran into the trees. I followed aimlessly. I wasn't really chasing him anymore, I was just wandering. I was deep in the trees when I could feel someone watching me. It turned out to be the Volturi of whom Edward had told me about. I wasn't afraid in the least and this shocked them. Aro greeted me and when he shook my hand to read my mind and realized he couldn't see anything, he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. He said if I joined him I would be free of this dreary place. I agreed and three days later I awoke as a vampire.

A/N: Okay so I know this story is a little rough. I kinda know where I am going with this, but for now it's still kind of up in the air. Anyway the chapter was pretty much just the basics of the year after Edward left. The next chapter will be Bella as a vampire. And don't worry, I promise the story will get better, I just needed to get the boring stuff out of the way. So please review and I'll try and post another chapter today.
