Chapter 1

Bella's POV (time lapse)

It's been three weeks since I left Forks. Three weeks since I've been living in San Francisco. Three weeks since I learned of who I really am. Three weeks since He left me. The pain is still there I can't escape it but its not so bad. I think it would have been worse had I stayed in Forks. But being here with Halliwells was what felt right to me. I belonged here. This was my home now. Piper was the mother figure I had always needed. I loved Renee she had been good to me. But with Renee it was like I was the adult and she was the kid. Piper was different she was responsible. She'd even enrolled me in the local high school insisting that I finish my high school education.

Phoebe reminded me of Alice in away she was always up with the latest fashions she gave brilliant advice. Which wasn't surprising seeing as she was an advice columnist. I suppose what really got me was her power like Alice she saw visions of the future. All though there powers were different it still reminded me of Alice all the same. I missed her like crazy we should have been sisters. I shook my head no I wouldn't think about what I had lost I would only remember what I had. I was sitting in the attic of the Manor as it was called. Starring bleary eyed into the Book of shadows.

I was supposed to be studying up on my demon lore but I couldn't seem to focus. My mind kept drifting back to the pain of his leaving, to how I had changed so much in just three weeks. I was as witch with powers I'd never thought I could possess. I could move things with my mind. It was the power my mother had when she was alive. I could astral project (although that one was rather tricky and would take some time to master) I could cast spells make potions and do other cool witchy things. I was of course also half Whitlighter therefore I could orb, which was kind of like teleporting from one place to another, I could heal any wound weather it be supernaturally inflicted or not. I could not heal demons. Not that I'd want to I just knew that couldn't. among other gifts that I wont bother going into detail about.

I suppose I had my Cousin Chris to thank, for bringing me here. If he hadn't found me I 'don't even want to think about what my life would be like. He and his twin Wyatt and I had grown very close in the short time since Chris and Piper had insisted that I move in with them. We were more like brothers and sisters rather than cousins.

Along with Piper and Leo they were teaching me how to be the very best witch that I could. Of course Phoebe and Paige who were both newly married helped on a occasion too. I loved my new family very much, although I missed the Cullen's I winced at the thought of there name. I would always miss them but being a Halliwell which is what I considered myself now. It was my birthright after all. Was good for me.

I sighed I wasn't getting anywhere with my studying . I needed to do something else.

I'd go see what Piper was cooking up for dinner. She was an amazing cook, and was teaching me a thing or tow in the kitchen.

"Piper" I called as I walked down the grand staircase into the front room.

" In the kitchen Bella" she hollered and I smiled I already knew that was where she was but I felt the need to let her know I was coming.

Since she hated it when I just came in to the room silently and scarred the crap out of her. She had the radio playing and Tim McGraw's song Just to see you Smile was drifting lazily out of it's speakers. It was a song I'd come to like very much even if it made me think of him , I d grown accustomed to the ache in my heart. A constant reminder that insured I would never forget him. Of course my aunts and cousins knew nothing of Edward and his family or why Chris had found me broken and alone in the woods. I winced just thinking about it brought about a flare up of pain. I closed my eyes for the briefest of moments, but it was enough to alert the ever intuitive Piper. She knew that I was keeping a secret but she didn't pry and I was grateful for that. Someday maybe I'd tell them, but for know I couldn't talk about it.

"everything okay Bella honey?" she asked as I sat at the snack bar directly across from her. I smiled a fake smile and shook my head

"I m fine Piper." I assured her. " what's for dinner?" she shook her head I'm sure she saw right through me but didn't bother to pry.

" Fettuccini pasta with chicken and my special sauce." I smiled my stomach growled. She laughed and so did I.

"that sounds really good" I told her enthusiastically. She laughed and rolled her eyes.

"sure sure" was all she said before she turned to stir the sauce. I laughed again suddenly remembering what I was supposed to do tonight.

"shit " I muttered standing up fast nearly knocking the stool I'd been sitting on over.

"Bella what's wrong" Piper asked eying me with concern.

" I completely forgot that I m supposed to sing at the club tonight." She frowned.

"Bella how could you forget that?" she asked.

"I don't know shit sound checks in an hour ."

I said frantic.

" Piper I have to go can you bring me some of that when you come to the club." she laughed.

"seeing as its my club and I m going to be working no problem Bells." I laughed too. Piper was the proud owner of a club called P3. Where I would be tonight's main attraction. It was mostly Chris and Wyatt's fault. They'd caught me playing guitar and singing something I hadn't done in a long time. Told piper and with the help of all my aunts convinced me to play at Pipers club along with the house band.

Reluctantly I had agreed deciding that maybe I could have some fun. Boy if only I'd known how 'fun' my night was going to be.

A/n ok so there you have it a look into Bella's life in San Francisco. Promise next chapter will be up soon and much longer with some action and tension. Much love please review.
