A/N Just a quick note, this chapter is not beta'd. My beta is out of reach for a short amount of time and I did not want you to have to wait too long for this so I'm posting, so please ignore any mistakes. I tried my best.

Disclaimer: I do not own twilight! If I did the Cullen boys would be locked in my closet!

Previously on TWIWMTB:

"Something doesn't seem right, not having you in this world, and I promise that if I ever find Victoria she will pay for taking you from us. I'm going to miss you Bella, and I will never forget you." I felt venom pool in my eyes, something that was quite new to me. I didn't understand why my chest felt like it had been ripped open, and the pain I felt was paralyzing. Maybe this pain was because it was my fault.

I sat there until, rain started pouring down, like the heavens opened up and the angels were mourning her death. I wasn't sure about the afterlife, but I knew if heaven really did exist Bella would be there.

"Goodbye Bella." I said softly before going to my truck. I peeled out of the cemetery heading for the road out of town. Forks held nothing for me any longer.

My first stop was Seattle; I was starting a new life, so I needed a new name. I was going back to my roots, Texas, and to my other family. I would be Jasper Whitlock once more.

Bella's POV

Today was the day Peter and Charlotte's friend was arriving. The past couple of days have been spent trying to get accustom to my new life. Charlotte had been helping me control my new strength, and after 3 doorknobs and 2 laptop keyboards crushed to dust I was thinking I would never get the hang of it. Peter made it his mission to make me happy 24/7 and to show me the fun things about being a vampire, he really was like a big brother and I couldn't have been happier that it was him and Charlotte who found me in the meadow.

Peter received a call from the 'Major' about an hour ago he had just entered Texas and Peter reported he would be here in about 5 hours. My curiosity rose each hour about how this vampire was going to help me, vampire's could only survive two ways with human blood or animal blood, and both didn't sit right with me, but I couldn't live off the donated blood much longer, I felt bad for taking it from people who needed it.

Peter had just come back from the post office to retrieve a special package; he called before arriving to make sure I was in the living room waiting for him. He walked through the door carrying a large package with a large envelope attached.

"Ready for your surprise little one?" Peter asked with a bright smile on his face, his happiness radiating off him and it wasn't long before he almost had me jumping for joy, these newborn emotions were killing me.

"First you need to open the envelope, it's not part of the surprise but it's important for you to have." I gently tore at the envelope, probably a little too slowly but I was too worried my newborn strength would kick in and I would destroy the contents. When I finally opened it I dumped the contents into my lap, out fell a birth certificate, 2 passports, 2 different drivers' licences and social insurance cards, as well as a black credit card. I picked up the Texas drivers licence and looked at my name;

"Bella Whitlock?" I asked, curious about my new name.

"We were going to use Isabella, until you almost took my arm off about it." Peter smiled, smugly.

"Well when I tell you I despise the name and you call me it 47 times in a row, losing an arm seems like fair punishment." I said smiling as the memory replayed in my head of Peter cowered into a corner and Charlotte rolling on the ground laughing.

"I think we're getting off track here. Whitlock is the name Peter and I use. Is it alright? If there's another name you want we can change it." Charlotte said, and she actually looked nervous.

"Charlotte it's more than alright, I feel honoured you want me to use your name. Other than my human last name I have no others."

"You're family Bella, now you just have the documents to prove it." I smiled warmly at Charlotte and for the first time in 4 months I felt loved and wanted.

"Alright enough of this lovey dovey stuff open the box Bella." Peter said effectively ending that conversation.

I pulled the tape of the box and as the box opened my senses were assaulted with a familiar smell, it smelt like home. I opened the box further and gasped at was inside. Inside the box were items from Forks, I immediately recognized my battered copy of Wuthering Heights and some of my other favourites, I pulled out a stack of CD's most of them were my favourites and I was glad I wouldn't have to buy them again, but the next items brought venom to my eyes, there in front of me was a stack of photos. I looked up at Peter, with I'm sure shock written on my face

"How is this possible?" I asked, Peter just smiled.

"I have a friend who keeps permanent residence in Seattle. I gave him your information and had him find your house in Forks and grab some things so you could have a piece of your human life. The books he said he grabbed the ones that were most worn out assuming they were your favourites, the cds he said he grabbed the ones that looked the most played, and the photos are all copies, so no one would notice them missing."

"Thank you Peter, I'll never be able to tell you how much this means to me. I was so scared I would forget what my parents looked like." As of now I remembered every detail of my parents but I was scared years from now they would just become blurs...

"I know Sugar, that's why I wanted this done, one of my biggest regrets is forgetting my family. I didn't want the same thing happening to you." I was staring at a photo of Charlie and I that was taken when I first moved to Forks.

"Is that your father?" Charlotte asked looking at the photo. I nodded my head.

"You look a lot like him. Tell me about him." Charlotte said resting her head on my shoulder. I launched into stories about Charlie showing her different pictures for different memories. I showed her pictures of Renee and told her about my mother's craziness showing pictures of us doing a different thing every week. I was at the last couple of photos when I saw one that broke my heart and brought shakes to my body and I felt Charlotte freeze and a growl from Peter. The picture was of me and Edward on my birthday, I thought this picture was gone how did it end up here? Peter's gaze was directly on Edward like he was trying to burn a hole through the photo.

"Sugar, I think it's time to tell us how you know about the vampire world, and I mean time is of the essence." Peter said, sharing a look with Charlotte. I knew they deserved answers and I knew it was time.

"It all started when I moved to Forks. There was a boy at my school, there was something that drew me to him, but for some reason he kept his distance, until one day in biology. It was like he was a new person, friendly and talkative, even his eyes were brighter." I felt the hole in my chest open once more at the memories of his golden eyes.

"Over the next week, it was like Dr. Jackal and Mr Hyde; I never knew who was going to show up. Finally he told me that it would be better if we weren't friends, but I was determined to break through this wall he had built up. He was a complete mystery to me, and his emotions were giving me whiplash, I was sure I would never understand him. Then he saved me from death, a van hit a patch of ice and would have killed me if he didn't step in, the circumstances were odd and it wasn't until a childhood friend told me the legends of his tribe did I start to realize something was up with him." I recalled with perfect clarity sitting on First Beach with a bright-eyed Jacob, as he told me about the 'cold ones'.

"The tribe believes they are descended from wolves, and that one day while protecting the land they ran into a group of vampires or as they call them 'the cold ones'. The group promised that they were different from others so the tribe let them go with an agreement they didn't kill anyone. The tribe believed that this boy and his family were the original cold ones." I chanced a look at Peter and Charlotte who were staring at me intently.

"At first I thought I was going crazy and there really wasn't anything strange about him, that I was just hallucinating, but one night changed that all. I was in Port Angeles with some friends who were dress shopping, I split from them to go to a bookstore with the agreement we would meet at the restaurant, but I'm a danger magnet and couldn't stay out of trouble. I was walking through an alley when a group of men approached me." I shivered at the memory and I heard growls come from both Peter and Charlotte.

"They were all drunken frat guys, I didn't know what to do, and I thought I was going to die, that is until I heard a car come to a screeching to a halt behind me. The boy from school got out of the car and ordered me to get in. I was just so glad to get away from the others I ran to the car. A few minutes later he got back in and we drove out of there. He was so angry, and that's when he slipped he told me he could hear their vile thoughts. We talked for a while and he told me that he was sick of trying to stay away from me, and I told him I didn't want him to stay away." I still remember the smile on his face, when I told him that.

"A couple of days passed and I had more questions than answers so I did some research online, and found the legends of vampires, that my friends tribe believed in and all my questions were answered. His eyes going from black to gold, his speed saving me from the van, his cold touch. The next day at school it's like he knew I figured it out. He took me into the woods, and I told him, I knew. He told me to ask the first question that most people would ask, what does he eat. That's when he told me how his family was different they didn't kill humans, they hunted animals." Peter and Charlotte were still silent.

"Everything was going great I had met his family and they soon became a family to me. A few months later we encountered some nomads while we were playing baseball. The one vampire, James wanted me to be his next meal, but my family protected me. During an altercation I was bitten, my family destroyed James while the venom was sucked out of me. James was Victoria's mate that's why she wants' revenge on me. After James was destroyed Victoria disappeared and my life went on." My voice caught in my throat, as I started the next part.

"I thought this family was my future, I thought one day I would become one of them, that was until my 18th birthday. His sister insisted on throwing me a birthday party, I hated the idea but she was hard to say no too. I was opening up my presents when I got a paper cut. Everything happened so fast I heard a growl I looked up to see the newest addition to the family growling, it wasn't his fault, after all his instincts just kicked in." It was true I never blamed Jasper and I wished I could tell him that.

"In an attempt to get me out of harm's way I was pushed back and landed in a pile of glass. The room quickly cleared out while the head of the coven stitched me up, he had an incredible tolerance to blood. That night changed everything. 3 days later we took a walk in the woods." The hole in my chest was splitting open further.

"He told me him and his family were leaving, at first I thought that included me. That's when he told me he didn't want me anymore. He told me he was tired of pretending to be something he wasn't, human. He told me I wasn't good for him. He promised it would be like he never existed, that I was human and my mind was like a sieve. When I asked about his family, he told me a clean break would be better and they had already left. He turned around and left without another word." Finally the hole in my chest was fully open and I couldn't stop the sobs that broke from my throat. Peter pulled me into his lap and held me while I sobbed. Peter just held me and Charlotte rubbed my back, I didn't stop crying until I heard Peter mumble 'shit' and a pull in my chest. With that I looked up and gasped, there in front of me was a ghost of my past, I felt frozen in shock staring into his golden eyes, and eyes that I thought would destroy me if I saw again. I couldn't speak all I could do was stare as he did the same, after what seemed like an eternity he spoke, his voice full of shock, relief and sadness;

"Bella?"
