Bella's POV
All five of us, Jacob, Mim, Izzy, Em, and I, were sitting in his living room that was starting to feel very small with all of us in it. Jacob just finished telling us his legends, and boy were we in shock. He actually showed us, but he went far away before transforming into what half of his soul was. As he came closer, I slowly backed away, but I could see in his pitch black eyes that he was still the Jacob I loved. Loved? Ok, I admit it now. I was in love with Jake. But what's not to like? He was sweet and funny, caring, adorable…And hot. Definitely hot. I chuckled and Jake looked at me strangely.
"So, any questions? Are you guys okay? You haven't spoken for about ten minutes," Jake looked at us, concern flashing in his eyes.
"We're okay! Just trying to take it all in ya know! It's not everyday-," Izzy started, but Em interrupted.
"OH. MY. GOD. No! Wait, I do have a question. What was with the cloudy looks in the guys' eyes?"
"Oh, you noticed that huh? Well, they um, imprinted on you guys." He held up his hand as Mim started to open her mouth, most likely to ask what 'imprinted on' meant. "It means that…Well, technically, you're their soul mates. Once a werewolf imprints, it becomes hard to be too far from the person, and you're in love with them forever. You would do anything to have them, and Quil imprinted on a two-year-old. Don't panic. It depends on the age. For example, Embry and Seth imprinted on Izzy and Em. Since you guys have a bit of an age difference they will start out by trying to be your best friend. However, since you guys are visiting this will be a problem when you leave.
"So, it would be best if you technically lived with Bella. Sorry Izzy, Em, and Mim but you have all been imprinted on and there's no way to change it. I think you guys have actually made a legendary moment! It's very rare for us to imprint, and you have three guys imprinting already!" He ended on a teasing tone, but I could see that this was much more, and that it would mean a lot more than he was saying. I wonder…He looked at me with those cloudy eyes…Does that mean he imprinted on me? I decided to ask, since he didn't seem like he was going to say anything else, but Izzy beat me to it.
"Hey! Jake, have you imprinted on someone yet?"A smile was playing across her lips and she had a smug look on her face. She raised an eyebrow, her eyes boring into Jake's.
"Yes."
"May I ask who the girl might be?" Em teased, quickly catching on Izzy's idea. I frowned at them, but let them continue. After all, I did want to find out who the lucky girl might be. Some part of my mind was saying that it was me, but I couldn't let my hopes get a hold of me. Jake turned to face me, and he had a forgiving look in his eyes, as if he was silently saying sorry to me. I smiled in return, hoping to take away some of the agonizing look his face was starting to form.
"Bella."
"I knew it!!!!!" Mim shouted, obviously happy.
"I'm so sorry Bella." Jake whispered before looking down at the floor.
"Why are you sorry? I'm happy! You should be too! Besides, you don't have to wait for me to grow." I snickered at the three girls who glared at me. They really wanted to be with their soul mates too. Jake brightened at that, and gave me a bear hug. I decided that since he was a new thing…I should be a new me. I decided to start with my name.
"Hey, Jake, since you're a new you, I want to be a new me. So from now on, I will introduce myself as Isabella, and you all have to call me that. I won't respond if you call me Bella! Can you guys help me spread it around school? Also, I want to get revenge on Edward, not pull a prank. Pranks are too childish." I announced. Everyone started at me in shock, but Jake soon snapped out of it and said, "Isabella, my love."
I grinned widely at that one and kissed him on his cheek. I swear I could saw him blush, but I pretended I didn't notice. We started planning my revenge.
Edward's POV
So many things have happened since Bella left us, and I didn't like the way my own family was acting towards me. I wanted Bella back. It amazed me how that sounded so true in my head. I couldn't make up my mind. I loved Tanya, but I think I loved Bella more. I broke her heart twice, how could she accept me back? I decided to try anyway, during Biology, a class we had together with only us two. I would pass her a sweet note, and then she would say that she would take me back and we would live happily ever after. Not. But a guy can fantasize can't he? It was already Monday, another start of a new week. Another week of school. At least I got to see Bella and hopefully, let Tanya down easy. That is, if Bella accepts me. When we were together however, everything felt right. Surely she would take me back. That gave my confidence a boost, and I was no longer troubled. The day passed quickly and soon it was time for lunch. I realized a second late, that Alice's vision was supposed to come true today. The minute I heard Bella's laugh my head whipped around, but this time she was with someone. The boy towered over anyone that walked near him and probably everyone in this school. He had muscles and he had short cropped hair. His grin was larger than Bella's, and they were holding hands. That stung. But it didn't bring down my confidence.
She looks happier than before…
So she can live without him after all…
Ha! I knew she would be happy with him. But he's a werewolf. How dangerous.
I wonder if she knows…
I shut out my siblings' thoughts, but Alice had a vision of me passing a note to Bella in Biology class.
I wonder what you wrote. Better not be something evil or about that nice kid that she's hanging out with. You know better than that Edward! You better not hurt her…
I glared at Alice. How dare she assume that?! But she had a reason to; after all, I already did my damage. The bell soon rang and I started to go to Biology, but when I passed Bella's table, the boy glared at me.
"Jake, not now!" I heard her whisper, and he instantly calmed down. I couldn't believe she was hanging out with a wolf! A dog! I anxiously waited for her, sitting in my seat. I already wrote the note. It said, 'I'm sorry Bella. Take me back?' She sat down and her scent washed over me, but this time I welcomed it. Two days without smelling it…How I missed it. The burn in my throat did nothing to me; I was so used to it by now. I quickly passed her the note and she looked surprised. She should, I haven't spoken to her in such a long time. She read it quickly and scribbled something down. She passed it back to me, and went back to listening to Mr. Banner. I opened the note as quickly as I could without using my vampire speed and read it.
Talk to you after school. Meet me by my truck.
That wasn't a direct no, but it wasn't a yes either. Maybe I could adjust my voice into something that would make her take me back. Yes that would work. Her truck, I haven't been around that thing in ages. The rest of my classes passed in a blur and soon it was time to talk to her. To see if she would take me back. How I loved that beautiful fragile human. Lovely. She was fumbling around in her backpack.
"Hello," I whispered in her ear, making sure she could breathe my breath. I knew that always confused and dazzled her. She whipped around, glaring at me. That was a first. It didn't affect her at all. How strange.
"The answer is no," she spit out, her eyes flashing furiously.
"Aw, c'mon Bella! Don't be like that," I whined, but it just seemed to make her even more furious. If she was a vampire she'd be snarling and growling like crazy.
"I'm not Bella," she retorted, acid dripping in every word.
"Well, then who are you?" I was starting to get mad. All I wanted was her, and she refused, while being extremely rude.
"Isabella." She spun on her heels then, amazingly not stumbling and climbed into her truck. I did nothing to stop her, I was seething. As soon as she was gone, I realized I was the only one left, since my family now rode either in Emmett's Jeep or Rosalie's BMW. I strode quickly to my Volvo, yanked open the door and jumped in. I revved the engine and sped off, not caring whether or not I was speeding.
Bella's POV
As soon as I was out of Edward's sight I went to the dentist. I had an appointment, and I didn't want to be late. Jacob went to his home, he was exhausted. I would see the girls soon, and I knew they could keep themselves entertained for a while. I sped off in the direction of where the dentist office was, careful not to over-work my truck. When I got there, I parked and hopped out. I entered the building hearing a clang as the bells announced that someone entered or left.
"Isabella, Dr. Dave will be right with you," the assistant announced and I nodded in acknowledgment. I went to sit next to a beautiful blond…That was so pale…And her eyes were a liquid gold…A vampire. A vegetarian vampire. Interesting, why would she need to be here? The only seat that was available was next to her, so I reluctantly sat in the red stuffed chair.
"Hi, I'm Tanya!" She introduced herself, speaking as if she already knew me. She seemed friendly, so I decided I would let myself talk to her.
"Isabella. Um...You're a vampire?" I whispered the last part so low, only she could hear. Her eyes widened, but I quickly reassured her.
"Don't worry! No, yes I know your secret, but whatever. I was friends with a coven once." My voice betrayed my anger that was starting to wash over me again, and she didn't ask the name. I was glad.
"So, Isabella. I want to get to know you more! You know, since you seem to know everything important about me! Can I have your number?" I quickly scribbled down my cell phone and home number on a piece of paper and handed it to her. She waved bye to me and I stared at her confused, until a few seconds later I heard Dr. Dave call, "Isabella? Your turn." I nodded to her and got up, following him.
As Dr. Dave was messing around with my teeth I thought about Tanya. She seemed friendly enough, and respected me. I decided to give her a try. Maybe she would replace Alice. Who knew? When I was done at the dentist's I left, feeling happy. My cell phone rang and I didn't recognize the number. I clicked the button and pressed the phone to my ear.
"Hi Isabella! Tanya here! Can you hang out tomorrow after school? I'm bringing along some of my friends so you can bring along your and we'll meet each other!" Her voice was thick with enthusiasm. It affected me instantly and I immediately replied, "Okay! See you then! Meet you…?" I trailed off, not knowing where to meet her.
"Starbucks?" She suggested.
"Sure! Bye Tanya!" I shut the phone off when she said her good-byes, and went home. I had another vampire in my life, and this one was extremely friendly. Rare, from what I've seen. I was glad I went to the dentist's today, and I would try my best to become her friend. I was anxious for tomorrow.
Did you guys enjoy it?! Haha...Any guesses where this story is leading to?
