So onto chapter 4!!

I slowly walked up the steps of the porch only to be greeted by Esme before I could even reach the top step. She pulled me into a tight hug and whispered in my ear, "It's so great to see you Bella and I'm sorry that we even left in the first place."

I pulled out of her hug and looked her straight in the eyes. I saw nothing but sincere apology in them and realized that there was only one Cullen that really hurt me. I could never be angry or upset with Esme who had always treated me like her daughter.

I gave her a big smile and another hug before she led me inside.

When I walked in, I noticed everything was exactly the way it was the first time I stepped into it. I was greeted by the massive staircase and the walls, high-beamed ceiling, wooden floors, and thick carpets, still the same shades of white when I had last stepped in the house. The river was still visible through the all glass southern wall of the house and opened up to the forest.

Esme guided me to the living room where Carlisle and the rest of the family waited. I nervously shuffled my feet, silently hoping that Edward would not make a sudden appearance as I was about to reveal why I was here.



"Alright, Bella. Now you have to tell us everything since we're all here," Alice said from the couch next to Carlisle.

I took a deep breath and began explaining. I figured I should start off with what happened right after they left. I told them that I resembled a zombie, according to Charlie's analogy for me. I didn't want to do anything and eventually I just went through everyday step by step, not really showing any emotion. When I got to the part of how I was changed, they all had rage written on their faces. Victoria had been the one to change me on a trip to Port Angeles. I was about to continue when Emmett interrupted.

"But I thought if Victoria ever came back she would just kill you, not that I'm complaining," he finished in a rush.

"That's the part that I was just getting to," I said with a smile in his direction. "I guess there was another vampire there that dragged her off of me, but I haven't heard anything about either of the two since then. They both just left me there to complete the change."

Carlisle looked like he was lost in thought, but as soon as I started talking again, he gave his full attention to me. I went into my newborn years and discovering my powers. I told them that I was somehow able to keep many of my human memories along with gaining a more active power. My active power I figured could be split into two parts: the first was to be able to sense the qualities of other vampires, like what type of blood they drank and if they had an ability. The second part was that if I came into even the slightest physical contact with another, I would temporarily be able to "borrow" their power.

With this said Alice gave a little, "Oh!"



"That explains why we shared that vision in the cafeteria. It's because I grabbed your hand and that might have triggered the vision in the first place," she said with the most enthusiasm I had ever heard come from her.

I gave her a quick nod returning her smile and continued about moving around to various locations. Next came the Volturi. I quickly explained my run-in with them not wanting to give them all the details. Long story short, they wanted to use me solely for my power and to start following their feeding habits. I told them how I've only encountered them once since my first refusal when Aro had sent Jane and a few new recruits after me while I was in a very secluded part of Alaska, and that was about 5 years ago.

When I was finished, I gave them a few minutes to process everything. My thoughts drifted to the vision I had earlier once again. I was just about to ask them about it when Alice suddenly scream, "MAKE-OVER!"

I groaned and attempted to run for it, but Alice grabbed my arm and Rosalie, surprisingly grabbed the other. They pulled me upstairs and into Alice's room and when the door was opened revealed her entire wardrobe. Her room still looked the same too, just with more clothes (if that was possible) added to it.

They both pulled me towards the bathroom and sat me down in front of the mirror, but had me facing away from it. It had to have been at least an hour before they finally finished my hair and make-up. But during that time I finally decided to ask Rosalie why she was being so nice to me.

"Hey Rose? Why are you acting just as enthusiastically as Alice is over something for me?" I asked.



"Bella, you're not human anymore. The reason I acted that way to you all those many years ago was because I was jealous of your humanity," she sighed. I turned to look in her direction and by the look on her face, I had to say she was apologizing to me, so I didn't take the matter any further.

I gave a quick nod in her direction and let them finish it silence. I also figured that this would go faster if I didn't try to put up much of a fight or argue, since it wouldn't change the fact that I was stuck there. However, it felt like it took just as long, if not longer, and I groaned inwardly, not wanting Alice to yell at me.

Finally, Alice told me to put on a mid-length midnight blue summer styled dress and told me to look in the mirror. Once again, I almost didn't recognize who I was when Alice decided to give me a make-over. My hair hung in light curls down my back and around my face. I had a subtle amount of make-up but enough to bring out my cheekbones. There was a pale pink shade of lip gloss on my lips and a matching shade of blush on my cheeks.

When I was done examining myself in the mirror, my suspicions grew. "Alice, why did you give me a make-over and decide to give me a blue dress?" I asked, turning to face her directly.

She gave me a smile and said too innocently, "No reason, just thought you would look nice."

That's when realization took over.

"When is he getting back?" my voice asked, shaky and uncertain.

Nobody answered me and I thought that was the best time to run. I grabbed my keys and started to make a run for the door, but was slowed down slightly by the protests coming from everybody.



"Bella, please just see him. He's been…different since we left last time," Esme said in a sad voice.

"What do you mean, different? He's the one who said he didn't want me!" I almost shouted.

Then, everyone just looked at each other with a confused and shocked expression on their faces. If I didn't know any better, by their expressions I would have to say he didn't tell them the reason he wanted to leave Forks in the first place.

I gave a bitter laugh and told them, "Yeah, at first he tried to pass it off with the excuse of Carlisle's job, but then so I wouldn't follow you guys he told me plain and simple that he didn't want me!"

This time I lost my temper and made a run for my car but was stopped short once again by something I almost collided with at the front door.

And there he was, my old Greek god in all his perfection with his bronze hair messier from running through the forest. His overall appearance looked the same except for the expression that he wore on his face. It was a look of extreme confusion and pain that had looked like he'd been feeling for a while. He looked me up and down and took a deep breath in of my scent.

Realization became dominant on his face and he breathed in a low voice only I could hear.

"Bella."

Ok everyone I hope you liked this chapter!
