From the moment I knew that was my Bella, I had to get her back at all costs. I really do not care what happened, may the heavens rain down upon me in the effort, so be it, I had to get her back. The picture was just a realization of what she'd been through. She actually had those thoughts; all the pictures in that book were dark and depressing so it seemed that not a single happy thought had gone through her mind. She had changed so much, not just on the outside but on the inside too. Where were the bright brown eyes I loved so much, where was the emotion shining from them. Although I could not see into her mind I could always tell what she was feeling from her beautiful eyes. Now they were so devoid of any good emotions, now they were full of hatred. She seemed to hate me so much. Her hair, it was always so beautiful too, such a rich mahogany shade, now it was dyed a somber black.

She quickly snatched the book from me saying accusingly "You looked through my sketch book!" she yelled "this is mine, it is private, how could you! Well it isn't like you care about us sad humans and our feelings anyway" she shouted.

"Bella....." is all I managed to say before she was screaming again "My name is Izzy, not Bella, Izzy, Izzy Izzy!". With that she stomped off and it was then that I really looked at what she was wearing. I could not believe it, she was wearing boots with heels... heels! My Bella didn't wear heels so I chased after her, first at human speed and when I was sure no other human was around, vampire speed. I caught her wrist, "Bella.......listen to me......please" and again she was yelling "I told you my name is not Bella, it is Izzy, seriously you Cullens think you're so much smarter then everyone yet you can't handle a simple name change! Ugh!" she pulled her hand away from me and ran down the hall and out the door. I reached the door in time to see her jump into a black Ferrari and drove off. I had no other choice to walk back to class after that.

I listened to the thoughts of my siblings during all of my classes and realized that Rose had seen Bella return to the school. I was relieved that she had come back and that she was safe. Rose however had not realized that it was Bella driving the black supercar so just categorized her as another gothic human with little or no importance. Oh how wrong she was, Bella was no ordinary human!

Later that day I meet my family for "lunch", we took our places at our old table. Bella, or should I say Izzy walked in, she was so beautiful but I missed her lovely brown hair, her warm chocolate eyes and her smile. All these things were missing from my Bella, no not my Bella anymore.

"So Eddy who's the new chick?" Emmett asked. Bella was close enough to have heard him, so before I had a chance to reply she spoke "Wow Emmett, you don't remember me? I'm hurt really!" her hand covered her heart in fake shock and hurt, the scent hit my family at the same time. Then suddenly "BELLA!" Alice screamed and threw herself into Bella's arms. Everyone in the room was quiet and watching "Get off me Pixie!" Bella screamed back at her and pushed her off. No this was not my Bella, definitely not; this girl "Izzy" was a completely different person. My Bella would never treat her best friend so harshly. The hurt on Alice's face was so plain to see and I heard her thinking "my best friend and sister hates me! We shouldn't have left, if we had stayed then we would all be happy together and Bella wouldn't have turned into this horrible person. We would all be happy, a family".

"Bella......." Alice was interrupted by a girl I remembered as Angela, she was always very kind to Bella I recall. One of her closest friends. "Leave Izzy alone! Haven't you people have done enough?"

"Damn human's got nerve!" Emmett thought. I glared at him, "sorry" he whispered so low no human would hear. With that Angela grabbed Bella's arm and marched her off in the other direction.

Yes, my Bella had gone but not forever, I would do everything in my power to bring her back, if it was the very last thing I ever did and if it took eternity I would do it, I would get her back, I vowed to do this, even if it led to my demise then so be it...........
