Chapter 4 (APOV)
"M-m-my g-god m-mother?" I stuttered out wide eyed.
Bella stopped laughing and glanced at me, but when she saw my face she started laughing again. "Yes your godmother. I wish you could see your face right now, Ali."
The name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. After Bella calmed down again she looked at me, I mean really looked at me. "You mean to tell me you don't remember me?" She asked quietly. I shook my head. "Hmm, well, that sucks. Oh, well, that just means I get to start new memories with you."
"How?" Was all I could manage at the moment.
Her face broke for a fraction of a second showing all the ancient grief she held. "I met your mother and father one day while I was out on a . . . . Stroll." She looked down at the grass, as if she were reading the words she was saying from between the blades of grass. "As you probably remember-at least I hope you do-you had the power to read the future when you were still human."
She paused as waiting for a response, so I gave her the only one I knew. "Yeah, I remember that. I also remember being put in an asylum." I said bitterly.
Bella looked up and gave me an apologetic look before looking back down. "Well, you had that ability your entire life, and I mean your entire life. That means when you were still inside your mother. That's when I met her. You see when I absorb a power it shows itself, god I'm probably not making any sense. Oh well, when I walked past your parents at the park I got a vision. It was of me playing with a three-year-old version of you." Bella pointed her finger at me.
"Anyway I quickly found where the power came from and introduced myself to your parents. They were such good and innocent people. They had just gotten married and found out they were pregnant. You could just tell from the look on her face she was delighted beyond belief and your father-" She gave a short laugh. "Your father was terrified. He had no idea what to do, but underneath you could tell he was excited.
"We became fast friends and I was there when they found out they were having a girl that was the day they asked me to look after you if anything ever happened to them, I quickly agreed. I was also there when you were born. It was a particularly hot day in August; your father had decided to see if he could get some fish out at the little pond. Your mom went into labor shortly after. I took her to the hospital and was there when she gave birth and I must say your mother had a very strong set of lungs. She screamed and then you . . . . . Were there.
"Your father came shortly after and cried with your mother. Your parents wanted do something special to remind you of me, so they named you after me, Mary Alice Brandon. My given birth name is Isabella Marie Swan.
"As the years past I had to leave more and more. Then one day I came and you were gone. I asked around and learned that your parents past in a fire. They put you in foster care until they saw you have a vision-you know what I mean, the blank eyes, and then the way you tend to repeat small bits of what you saw sometimes. That's when they moved you to the asylum. I tried to find you, but no one would tell me anything, so I had my friend search for you. He found and changed you, because you were being hunted. Then I could never found you." Bella finally finished telling me about my past and we all sat in silence absorbing everything we had just been told.
I hadn't noticed Jasper put his arms around me, or that I had leaned my head on his shoulder as if I were about to cry. It was so quiet that I jumped slightly when Edward started talking. "So what happened to the guy you sent to find Alice?"
Bella had been watching everybody's reaction, but now she just looked sad. "His name was Gabriel Scott; he was a dear friend of mine. When he found Alice he also found the tracker. He quickly changed Alice and hid her away while he stayed and tried to fight the tracker. The sad thing was Gabriel never believed in fighting, so he never learned. He died at the hands of that veil tracker." She spat the word 'tracker' as if it were a swear.
I felt overwhelming sadness for a man I had never met, but had saved my life. Jasper sent calming and relaxing waves at me. I smiled up at him. I had never really thought about my parents. I had always thought they were cruel people who never wanted a freak like me, I thought-
My thoughts were cut short by a quiet growl. My eyes shut up to Bella. She had an angry and sad expression. "Your parent knew exactly what you were capable of and they still loved you. Yes, your sister was extremely jealous of you and your ability, but underneath she loved you with everything she had. Not to mention I loved you and still do the way you are and don't try and tell me you believe everything you just thought." She said it with such fierceness that I had no choice, but to believe her.
I looked ashamed of thoughts. "I'm sorry, but what was I supposed to think when I can't remember anything from my past life?" I said slightly defensive.
She sighed. "I know. I'm sorry, it's just that There are only five people that I ever let close to my heart and those were your parents, your sister, you and Gabriel. Not to mention I thought I lost everyone, but then I found you, with Jasper no less."
That reminded me of my other question. "How did you meet Jasper?"

I waited for Bella to collect herself enough to tell us how she knew me. "When I fought in the newborns wars I never fought in my wolf form, it was just too dangerous. Well, during the fight I missed one and it got past my defenses. She grabbed onto my wrist and bit seconds later Jasper came out of nowhere and saved me. He took me to a safe place to help me with my wounds. After he cleaned it up we talked and he told all about himself. In return, I told him everything about myself, granted later on I did erase his memories of me, but he was a great friend." She spoke earnestly looking straight into my eyes.
I smiled, but then frowned. "Why did you erase my mind of you? You left Alice's family and that Gabriel guy why not me?" I asked a little hurt that she didn't trust me.
"And look where that got me. For over two thousand years I was by myself, and then I found Gabriel. We traveled for a few years before he decided to go on his own, I didn't mind it. Then I found Alice's family, another millennium later. Then within ten years they were all gone. I may have met you before Alice, but it still was hard leaving such a nice man. You asked me to stay and travel around with you and I wanted to so bad. I wanted someone to talk with about my three thousand years and all that I've seen, but I was scared that someone would come after you for knowing me. I didn't want you hurting as well, so I did the only thing I knew. I took myself out of every thought you had."
I nodded in understanding. I could feel how everyone was relieved that Bella wasn't a threat to us, but there was a small feeling of jealousy coming from Edward. I looked over at him with an expressionless face. What's up Edward? Your Emotions are out of whack, I thought to him.

I couldn't help, but feel jealous of Jasper. He got to save the most beautiful creature in the world while I wasn't even born yet. I wanted to be the one she came to when she was sad or angry. I wouldn't even mind if she yelled at me every day for the rest of my life, as long as she was by my side.
My eyes widened a fraction of a millimeter as I realized my thoughts had taken a turn of their own. I was falling hard for this creature and fast. I thought that thought was absolutely ridiculous because I had known her what- two hours.
I was definitely going insane. Why would she go for someone like me? She should be with some one that she loves and treats her right; I couldn't possibly treat her with the type of respect she deserves.
All of a sudden Alice was up and jumped at Bella. My first thought was she was going to attack her, but then I saw Alice dry sobbing into Bella shirt. Bella didn't look the least bit surprised and welcomed her with open arms.
Carlisle looked at Bella. "So I presume you will be living with us." He said slowly.
When Bella hesitated Alice pulled back and looked at Bella with pitiful doggy eyes. "Please, Bella. Stay with me and my family, please."
Bella frowned. "You do realize that's cheating and it won't work on me. I mastered the puppy look nearly a thousand years ago, but if it makes you happy and no one is apposed to the idea I guess I can stay for a little while."
I smiled to myself. This was going to be a fun school year.
