Chapter 5: 12 Years Later

BellaPOV

It's been 12 years. Twelve long years since my family and I became vampires. We are still disgusted with ourselves for taking the lives of innocent human beings just so we wouldn't be hungry, or in our case thirsty. Aro allowed us to drink animal blood after the first few days. We were thankful for that.

Two days after our transformation Anna became our small coven's leader. I know shocker right. Well there is a reason for this. We all have powers, but you see Anna and I are the only ones that have more than one power. We both have two. Anna can have a conversation with someone in their mind. She can do this with several people at one time, and the can say something back to her but that's only is she keeps their minds connected. She can also see someone's past.

Anna had offered the position of our coven's leader to me but I didn't want it. I was nowhere near ready to make the right decisions for our family, she was, and still is. Also Anna is the one who keeps Will, Brandon, and I in line.

Anna is still the sweetest person I know. But now she is also the fiercest. She can be scary when she wants to be , like REALLY scary. She still extremely pretty. She still has her lovely red hair, that can definitely mach her temper sometimes. The one thing I will miss about her as a human is her beautiful green eyes. Her eyes and all of ours are golden now.

My powers are very different from hers. I am a shield. I can block mind readers, and pretty much any other ability of others vampires. I can also tell if someone is telling the truth or not. My appearance is also different, but not by much. Oh and also, if anything happens to Anna then I will become the coven's new leader.

Will's can see relationships between people. Most likely because he was so sure of his and Anna's relationship. Becoming vampires only made them even more in love with each other.

Brandon can also tell if someone was telling the truth or not. Speaking of Brandon, our relationship had taken a turn and BIG turn. Exactly one year ago Brandon taught me something I thought I would ever know how to do ever again. He taught me how to love again. Of course I was still madly in love with Edward, a small part of me had also come to love Brandon. He's just so sweet and understanding. I honestly don't know why all of me can't love him and then I remember Edward. Brandon was also completely understanding about my feelings. He knew how I felt when he told me he loved me, he knew how most of me still loved and longed for Edward and he still told me that he loved me. He also told me that he would take what was ever left of me to give or whatever I wanted to give him. When he told me this I was actually happy and I wanted to give him all of me but I couldn't. So I gave him what was left and he took it, knowing that a grater part of me loved someone else. At first I felt SO bad that I couldn't give him more but what was left of me needed him and he told me that as long as I loved him, even in the slightest bit, then he would be happy. And I did love him, I really did.

"It's raining," I said.

"Really? I haven't noticed." Anna said sarcastically.

"Oh, shut up,' I said. Hitting the back of her chair and then resting back into Brandon's arms. Anna just chuckled.

We were driving to our new house. Aro had decided that it would be a good idea if we took a break from our 'work'. I actually wouldn't even call it work, I would call it 'taking care of what that needed to be taken care of, a.k.a killing who needed to be killed.

A few days after our changes and we discovered our talents, Aro gave us special positions amongst the guard. We took care of the most dangerous of 'problems'. Our family was known as the most dangerous and powerful vampires in the world. They called us 'The Four'. They also gave us individual names. Will's was 'The Watcher' since on our missions, he watched for relationships that our enemies might have with others, that could help us out in a way. Brandon's was 'The Listener'. Witch was given to him because if someone lied he could hear it. It wasn't like that with me, for me instinct would just tell me. Mine was 'The Black Hand'. I was given this name because I was second in charge of our coven. Anna's was 'The Angel Of Death'.

We had just recently taken care of a vampire that wanted to become the ruler of all vampires. We had been taking care of things like this for twelve years and we really did need a short break. Witch is why we will be living in Main for three years. The four us were all going to go to East Road High School. We decided to go as sophomores. About a week ago we had purchased a beautiful, white, three-story house (sorry if I misspelled, I'm writing this when I'm supposed to be asleep).

We came up to the driveway. We all got out and claimed our rooms. Mine had baby blue walls, a walk in closet and a balcony. Anna's room was white, hers also had a large walk in closet and a balcony. Will's room was also white. Brandon's was dark blue. All of the rooms were huge, actually the hole house was huge. A few minutes later the moving van came and a few guys helped us with our stuff. After the moving guys left we decided to go hunting. Our house was about a mile into the forest. The forest was full of wild animals, both dangerous and harmless. But there was a larger amount of dangerous animals then harmless so the humans weren't allowed to walk around in the forest, witch worked out perfectly for us.

After hunting Anna said that we should all have our own cars. And we went car shopping. Will got a black Hummer, it was huge. Brandon got a black Truck. Anna bought a yellow Camaro with racing strips. And I have a silver Mustang. Then we went home in our new cars.

When we got home we all got ready for school the next. We were starting in the middle of the second semester. So that means we would be the new kids and we wanted to make a good first impression. So we decided that the boys would tack Will's Hummer and Anna and I would tack her Camaro. The story we set up for the humans was that Anna and I were sisters and Will and Brandon were brothers and we were all adopted by a couple who's last name was Turner, but then they died three two years ago in a car accident and left their children with a fortune. Yup, that was the story we were going with.
