Chapter 2: 8 Years...

Charlie's POV

It has been 8 years since I lost my little girl. She went missing after going for a walk with Edward to never to return again. After many years I learnt the truth of that walk was for Edward to break up with Bella for her safety.

5 years after Bella was gone I re-married. When I married Sue I found out about werewolves and then vampires. I couldn't believe it when Sue told me the Cullen's were vampires. But after talking to each of the Cullen's I accept them for who they are. They are all really nice people, Edward didn't mean the things he said to Bella and has regretted it ever since. He maybe with Leah now, but a part of him will always love Bella and he has never forgiven himself for what he did to her.

After searching for Bella for a month the courts declared her legally dead from an animal attack. We had a little memorial head stone in the Forks graveyard it said 'Here is the memory of Isabella Marie Swan. Beloved daughter, friend and so much more. Will be dearly missed by all and remember by all'. I wish every day that she would come back to me, but she never has. Now I have a new wife and two stepchildren that are both werewolves.

I'm now part of the council so I know everything that is going on. A vampire named Victoria is still around trying to kill everyone. The wolves and the Cullen's expect her to be the reason why my Bella is dead and also one of the wolves named Paul who was out looking for Bella is dead also. Victoria has a lot to answer for. They had a memorial for Paul too added next to Bella's because he died trying to find her it seemed right. His said 'Here is the memory of Paul Thomas Lahote. Beloved son, pack mate, friend, brother. We be dearly missed by all and remembered by the people of La Push for years to come'.

Billy explained a lot about werewolves including the thing called imprinting. So when Leah my stepdaughter imprinted on Edward I couldn't really be angry with either of them. According to Billy it is impossible to fight the imprint. Those two were destined for each other. I'm sure Bella is watching them now smiling. Also Jacob imprinted on one of the Cullen's 'cousins' Tanya Denali. It made her able to have children so they have two now one 3-year-old and one 2-year-old. Now the Denali vampires live here as well. Embry imprinted on Bella's high school friend Angela. Angela is really a sweet girl; she didn't deserve that Ben boy cheating on her with Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory. I'm glad she is happy now she is like a daughter to me. They had 4 children now and where happy. Angela said when she married Embry she would leave the Maid of Honour spot open. Because Bella had been her very best friend and that spot rightfully belonged to her. I nearly cried when she told as that.

Paul's father Thomas Lahote came back 5 years after hearing that his son was dead with his three other children. One boy older then Paul and two girls. They were very upset they never got to say goodbye to Paul or see him again. Thomas Lahote decided to stay in La Push it was where his children belonged. His son imprinted on Billy's daughter Rachael. They had one child. Billy was ecstatic to see at least three grandchildren and spoiled them all rotten.

Victoria has started to raise a newborn army and she will attack as by the start of the New Year. The Cullen's and Denali's have called out for aid so far only Jasper's friend Peter has shown up. In my opinion he won't be any help because he is so down and upset. But Jasper said that is just because he just lost his mate Charlotte. She disappeared without a trace. My heart goes out to him. The Cullen's are hoping for more help. But I can't see that happening. We are outnumbered and we need help. I wonder if any one else will come to our aid…

Edward's POV

It has been 8 years since I left Bella in the woods and left Forks. THAT was the biggest mistake of my life. Leaving her there in the woods all alone and forgetting about Victoria. I honesty thought she was not a threat and I paid the price for my mistake in judgement. The whole family returned 8 months after we left because we all couldn't stand to be away from her any longer, only to find out she died hours after I left. I was totally heartbroken. At the time I thought if I was dead. Then I meet Leah at one of the meetings we went to with the pack and I fell in love with her. I still love Bella, but now I love Leah. I will forever regret what I did to Bella. I also will forever blame myself for her death. I hope she is in heaven watching over us. I also hope she approves of my relationship with Leah.

Because of Leah imprinting on me my family is now aloud on the reservation. We actually have built a house on the border now and we help the wolves with patrols. Also 3 years ago the Denali's came to visit and we got a surprise when Jacob imprinted on Tanya. Before Tanya was very lonely and now she is happy and in love with Jacob. Her family saw how happy she was and they decided to stay with us.

Bella's Father Charlie now knows the whole truth about werewolves and vampires after he married my girlfriends mother Sue. He has forgiven me for leaving Bella. Saying that she would be happy for me now. I can only pray that he is right.

Now Victoria is after us and we all expect her to be the reason Bella and the wolf that was out finding her our dead. The wolves and us our out for revenge. Carlisle and Esme thought as Bella as their daughter and Emmett, Rose, Alice and Jasper thought as Bella as their sister. Now Victoria is raising a newborn army to kill us all. We are outnumbered, we have been calling for aid from our friends but so far the only one to answer are call was Peter. When Peter arrived and Jasper asked where Charlotte was Peter broke down sobbing saying that Charlotte was gone. She went out hunting one day and never returned. Peter has been broken ever since. We are still calling for aid but we still don't know who else we will get. Who will come next?...

Sam's POV

It has been 8 years since we lost a brother. I still blame myself for that every single day. If Jared and I hadn't phased back to talk to Charlie. I didn't leave Paul alone. If I had of told Jared to talk to Charlie alone. If I had stayed with him he would still be alive right now. But I didn't and Paul died because of that red-haired leech. She killed Charlie Swans daughter too another innocent. So much death at the hands of Victoria.

After all these years both Jared and I still haven't forgiven ourselves. Our imprints try to tell us that none of this is our fault but we still haven't managed t let it go.

I found out a year after Paul died that Embry was my half brother. I wanted to murder my father. But I settled on disowning him. He had all put us through a lot of pain. I accepted Embry as my little brother. He was happy he finally had answers to the long not answered questions.

I now have a 2-year-old daughter named Pauline Isabella Uley. She is the angel in my life. She has helped erase some of the guilt in my life. I also have a 5-year-old boy named Samuel Embry Uley the II. I had twin 4-year-olds Caitlyn and Samantha.

The Cullen's our now good friends of ours and we even let them on our land. Thanks to Leah and Jake imprinting on vampire we are now on good terms.

Both the Cullen's and the pack are after one thing. That is revenge. The Cullen's lost Bella, she was like there daughter or sister and the pack lost a brother. Now we are all working together to kill Victoria. Now she is coming to us with a newborn army. There is not enough of us to protect the town. We can only pray for a miracle. I don't think we'll get one…
