An i dont own twilight or vampire daries
For the sake of keeping her arrival a surprise Bella had decided to set up her room which included her bed after she got there. This meant at least for the first two nights back home she was sleeping in the living room on the coach. That did not bother her because she knew that no one else in the house would be up before her in the morning and she could make anything that she wanted for breakfast. This was fine with her because she was still on Greek time and was up at five that morning trying and failing to get back to sleep. Looking in the fridge she decided that she could try out the recipes from Greece after she stocked up on what she would need. She started the coffee pot around 7 mostly because she needed to get an early start to her day if she wanted to have a room to live in that weekend. Deciding on stuffed French toast to start since it would take the longest to cook she moved around the kitchen getting everything she needed out before she started to make anything. She was glad that Aunt Jenna had kept up the habit of having fresh fruit in the house at all times. Just as she was putting it in the oven to bake she was joined by her aunt who walked right up to the coffee machine and poured herself a cup before leaning on the counter in front of the machine. Bella giggled quietly knowing until Jenna had at least one cup she was like a dragon protecting her horde in this case her horde being all the coffee it would take to wake her up. Bella got started on the eggs and bacon and as she watched the pans to make sure nothing burned she felt arms wrap around her from behind.
"Izzy I love your cooking but I hope you do release that it's Saturday and your suppose to sleep in on those." Jeremy's voice was rough from sleep though he sounded happy as he let her go to sit on the stool around the island that was closest to her.
"Hey be nice I am still 7 hours ahead of you plus I made your favorite food. I figured I could use it as a bribe to steal you for all of today to help me with my room and my car," Turning around as she spoke to set out the cooked food.
"Hey, the bribes are not needed I was going to do that anyway,"she grinned as she spotted Elena trying to sneak around her Aunt to try and get some coffee. She only succeeded in getting her cup after Bella lured Jenna to the table by pulling out the French toast that had the cream cheese filling oozing out of it. She added the strawberries and the banana slices to the top before filling her plate and watching the others fill theirs.
The food vanished in no time when the food was done Jenna cleaned off the table to allow the cousins to go get ready for the day. Bella watched as Elena and Jeremy raced to reach their rooms to see who could get to the bathroom first. She leaned on the wall and just watched as they tried tripping each other only for Elena to win by slamming the door into Jeremy's face. Messing with his hair as she walked past him the door at the end of the hall which lead up to only two other rooms one being Bella's bedroom since Aunt Miranda Convinced her husband to make it livable for when she would visit and the other was the attic. The room had been empty of the furniture because it all needed to e replaced with things more her age. Nothing else remained in the dust covered room other than the boxes that had been shipped for her and her backpack from the trip. Heading to her personal bath room she showered quickly before putting her wet hair into an eight stranded braid. Putting on a matching bra and under wear set she quickly changed into a pair of overall shorts and one of the fork police shirts she "borrowed" from Charlie. Digging throw the box marked shoes she pulled out her worn converse before heading back down stairs.
Once she reached the bottom step her purse and phone were shoved into her hands by an impatient Elena. "I'm going to drive you to the dealership then I'm heading over to the hording house to see Stefan."
The trip to the dealer ship was spent with Jeremy grilling her on her trip to Greece and what were her favorite places. She managed to only get a word in edge wise after she promised to show him the pictures that she had yet to place on her computer. Once Elena pulled into the Jeep/dodge dealership it was only a short wait while they found the paperwork for her car that Phil had bought her. She was now a proud owner of a 2010 Jeep Wrangler convertible SUV, it was a limited edition for that year but she managed to talk him out of getting her a brand new one.
"You do realize I'm stealing your jeep when I can right?" Bella could only shake her head as she drove out of the lot and towards the furniture store to pick out the stuff for her room so it could be delivered the next day. "Jay as long as you tell me your stealing it your free to drive it when you want" she could see the smirk he gave her for that comment. Between her and Jeremy they managed to get all her furniture picked out and ordered in 2 hours of wondering around and Bella second guessing her picks sometimes just to see the look Jeremy would get on his face. Before she let him drive to the last store to get paint for her walls and groceries because she had him wanting to try Greek food after hearing her speech about wanting to try making some herself. After eating a quick lunch she convinced him to at least allow Jenna and Elena to share the experience though he called dibs on the next one being just the two of them.
Heading back up to her room they made sure all the doors were open and the one small circular window was open as well to help regulate the air for the painting. Laying down sheets over the carpet to protect it from any droplets her walls were remaining white and only needed a few touches here and there. What they were painting was the ceiling which would a messy job as well as the door and window frames. The ceiling was going to be a deep Royal blue while the frames were painted a slight lighter version. She decided that she would create her room her version of a Greek get away. As the finished Bella decided to take a picture of them together as they were covered in paint it was going to become part of her wall collection Jeremy was going to help her create after dinner.
In the mood for a fast meal Bella headed down to the kitchen with Jeremy trailing behind both their heads still covered in paint. "how does Gyros sound to you, Jay?"
Looking over her shoulder at him after opening the fridge to get the ingredients out "Sounds Greek to me," his voice had laughter in his answer.
Pointing a knife at him she spoke "Just for that you can help me make them" she grinned when he held up his hands in surrender. Before he grabbed the cutting board and the onion and tomato so he could slice them, while Bella started cooking the meat and warming up the pita bread. Elena walked in looking very torn like she didn't want to believe something to be true. Though she masked that quickly when she saw Bella raise her eyebrow as is asking her silently if she was okay.
"Aunt Jenna is going to e a little late she got held up or something though I could have sworn I heard her mumbling about Logan Fell again." She sat down next to Jeremy after getting a drink from the fridge.
"That's okay just means more for me" Jeremy was trying t steal a piece of the meat Bella was slicing to put on the plate. Once she showed the how to put it together Jeremy and Elena at as much as they could before Bella put some away for Jenna to eat later.
Once that was done Jeremy joined her back in her room as she started downloading the pictures of her summer on to the computer then printing them out. Jeremy had asked for copies of a few that he liked and she had a feeling that he was getting inspiration to start drawing again. Hearing the door close down stairs Bella stood up quickly and got into her backpack and pulled out two wrapped packages and placing all but one back on the floor.
"Aunt Jenna, Elena if you want the gifts I bought you, need to come and get them!" her shout had Jeremy covering his ears as she sat down next to him.
Once in the room and joining them on the floor Bella opened the box and pulled out three small wrapped gifts and handed each one out. Elena opened hers first and squealed at the sight of the leather sandals that she was examining in her hands. Aunt Jenna was next opening to find a Bottle of Ouzo a Greek alcohol that she had mentioned Bella getting for Charlie in one of their talks over the phone. Jeremy was last and he opened his package that held a silver Greek flag charm with lucky eye beads that made a Komboloi.
"The colors are called the blue eyes they are meant to protect from evil and they are worry beads like I have only mine are lapis lazuli beads instead of the blue eyes of yours. I can show you how they work later they are mostly as a form of stress relief or you can keep them on you as a bracelet," She saw the small smile that came across his face as he pulled her into a hug. They hung out in her room the rest of the night showing them the pictures and roping Jenna and Elena into helping hr finish her room the next day.
As she slept that night filled with the different ways she was going to be introduced into the supernatural part of the town. When she woke in the morning the only thing she could remember from her night of sleep was guarded blue eyes and blood. Shaking herself out of it she was glad to see she managed to sleep until 8 this time around though she felt like she had slept in. She woke Aunt Jenna up with the smell of coffee again and waited until she was more awake before getting her to help make quick breakfast. Jeremy and Elena joined the just as they were finishing eating and fought for the leftover food while Jenna and Bella went to go get dressed. They helped her turn one of her empty walls into a giant collage by putting up all the pictures from her trip and some from her childhood and the one taken the night before. When the truck pulled up with the furniture Jenna and Bella directed the men up stairs Elena and Jeremy started opening boxes.
When finished Bella had a nice white dresser between the closet door and her bathroom door she also had a desk on the left of the window and a white chaz lounge with Greek Flag pillows on it on the right. And on the last blank wall that had the door to the bedroom in the right corner was her bed which was a queen the frame was designed like an old bench and had no head board. The pillows and comforter were white with a royal blue throw at the foot of the bed.
For lunch they decided to head to the Mystic Grill so that they could see the looks on everyone's faces when they see Bella again. Jenna opted out of it having to head to work so she decided to eat the leftovers from the night before. Bella double checked her outfit in the mirror before they left she was wearing a pair of light skinny jeans and a graphic t-shirt she double checked for any dirt or wet paint before putting on her shoes. They decided to let Bella drive and Jeremy called shot gun as soon as it was decided.
Bella noticed it that the Grill looked the same as it always does nothing really had changed there she noticed Matt working and waved when he saw her. Snickering when his eyes widened when he realized who she was he waved back. Elena led them to their usual table which allowed Matt to get a hug from Bella when he came over to take their orders. No sooner had he left did a squeal pierce the air as a blonde bullet rammed into Bella for a hug.
"Bella I am so glad your back I want to know everything about Greece it has got to be way better than this old town." Caroline squeezed her real tightly to let her know that she had missed her Bella being the only one in their group that seemed to not be bothered by what the others called her neurotic tendencies. Caroline continued to have Bella rehash all of her trip to Greece as she chatted with Caroline and ate her food. She noticed that Jeremy slipped a way to go play pool while Elena had walked away to answer a call from Bonnie. When she came back she was being followed by two men that Bella recalled from her visions she had been having throughout the summer. The taller of the two was dressed completely in black and had raven hair with blue eyes and a smirk on his face the younger one had his Brown hair coifed perfectly with a kind smile though his brown eyes though showed how weary of her he really was. Though she knew that only the blue eyed one as she had begun to call him was a recurring person in many of her visions and not because he caused the problems. He was always in the visions that showed her fixing the wrongs and he seemed to be one of the ones she relied on most. Elena was smiling the biggest Bella had seen in a long time when she grabbed the hand of the younger brother and pulled him in front of her.
"Bella this is my boyfriend Stefan, Stefan this is Bella she's my older cousin and just got finished moving in. She is why I wanted to see you so soon today I really wanted you t meet her." Bella smiled at her younger cousin before sticking out her hand for Stefan to shake.
"Where did you come from?" the voice from behind the two asked which caused Stefan and Elena to sign in annoyance.
"Forks Washington originally but I just got back from a trip to Greece. Do I get the name to go with the face, kópanos." Bella had a strange feeling that the only reason he had opened his mouth was to get exactly that reaction from her cousin and her boyfriend.
"It's Damon Salvatore as in savor I'm this guy's old and better brother" he taunted while staring Stefan down. She noticed that though he glanced at her his focus seemed to be else were as he scanned the Grill before heading to the bar. "I bet you are kópanos." Shaking her head she turned to face the others with a smile noticing the hurt look in Caroline's eye because of Damon's presence. Throwing her arm over Caroline's shoulders she asks if they want to head back to the house with her so she can get to know Stefan better and catch Caroline up on her trip. Once they agreed she waved Jeremy back over and they headed back to the house.
Lying in her bed later that night she grinned to herself for not giving away that she knew what Stefan and Damon were. Delving into her gift to she tried to see that if meeting Damon had triggered an event for her to fix the only thing she could see was Damon stumbling around in what looked to be a Catacomb Shouting "She not here!"
