Chapter 8 - 200 Years Later

Klaus has been faithful to me all this time. For 200 years. That's a long time, but now I need to go my own way.

He was out hunting right now and I was left to take care of the house. Yes we have a house, we move every 2 or 3 years, depending on how long it takes for people to notice that we don't age.

We were living in a small town now, not far from where I grew up.

We've traveled far, and to many diverse lands, shifting into animals if we choose. We can act human or embrace the vampire side of us. Although sometimes being a vampire is annoying. Running water weakens us. Crosses, holy water, and stuff like that are all myths. But the sun part is true, we burn. Without my ring or my necklace, I wouldn't be able to go out in the sunlight.

"Madam, you have a visitor." I heard a servant say. I turned around to see a familiar face. Long golden hair, the same ring as me, and blue eyes. Katherine. I nodded to dismiss the servant.

"Katherine." I hissed. She didn't look any older. So this is what she is, and what my brothers meant that night when I over heard them talking to her.

"Isabella, what are you doing here? I came here expecting to see Klaus." she said.

"Yes, well he's out hunting." I told her. "And how did you not know I was here? I could feel a surge of Power the minute you stepped into town. But, really, I am more powerful than even you."

"Well I heard you disappeared." she said. I think she was confused about me being more powerful than her. Well lets say being married to Klaus has it's advantages. Plus it seemed that I was powerful as a human too.

"Now you know where to."

"Yes. So when will Klaus be back?" she asked. Just as she said that Klaus appeared beside me and wrapped his hands around my waist. He gave me a quick kiss before addressing Katherine.

"I was wondering when you would show, my friend."

"Yes well, here I am." the blond said.

"You left me with a mess to clean up after you left the Salvatore brothers." he said. Oh. No. He. Didn't. I stiffened.

"I know, but I do see you got something out of it."

GAH! Don't they know I'm right here. Will you please stop talking like I'm not here! I sent out.

Sorry Katherine responded.

Sorry honey, Of course that was Klaus, always the gentleman.

I rolled my eyes then walked out of the room. Walking around the house didn't seem like an option. So I decided to go back to my brothers' grave. I haven't been back there in over a century. The last time I was there was only a year after I was changed.

When I got there I noticed the dirt was fresh, as if someone dug up the grave. Suddenly I fell to the ground as memories flashed through my head.

When I was about 15, sitting in a meadow with my brothers, when they use to like each other. My hair blowing in the wind, my skirt was spread out around me.

"Promise you'll never leave me." I said to them.

"Bella, we'll have to go start our own lives someday." Stefan said. I turned to where he was sitting on my left and he smiled.

"But you'll always love me?"

"Yes, Bells, we'll always love you." Damon said and kissed me on the cheek.

That was when we use to be happy, before Katherine came.

I was on Bello, in a beautiful meadow. My hair flowing in the wind. Damon comes up to me on Shadow.

"Bella, I'm going to the University." he informed me.

I saw this coming so I smiled at him. "That's great, but what ever you do, don't forget me."

"Never."

Damon promised me that he would always be there for me, and that he would never forget me. But he isn't here anymore, he broke his promise. He left me.

So did Stefan. Even though we weren't close, I still miss him.

I felt something wet on my face. My hand reached up and I felt tears falling down my cheeks. I haven't cried in forever.

DPOV

For some reason I felt a strong pull toward my old home, the place I refuse to go to. But there was a pull toward my grave. There was Power there.

The ring that Katherine gave me, before she died, gave me the ability to walk around in the sunlight during the day.

I heard someone crying from the back, so I didn't bother trying to get someone to invite me in, I just went around back.

When I saw my grave I froze. There was a girl sitting there. Her long mahogany hair blew around her with the wind, and her blue dress was spread out around her.

As if she could hear me she looked up at me. She had chocolate brown eyes that looked familiar, like my sister Isabella. But she was dead. Was my mind playing tricks on me?

I think I blinked because she wasn't there anymore, but her scent was all over the grave. Strawberries and freesia.

BPOV

I heard footsteps and I turned around to see who was coming. A man stood frozen. He had long black hair and dark eyes. My heart ached, he looked so much like Damon.

Were my eyes playing tricks on me? He was dead. I saw him die!

It must be this place, my old home. It must be bringing up old memories of when I was human. I need to get out of here.

In the blink of an eye, I was gone. I'm never coming back here, not even if my life depended on it.

I wasn't going to go back to Klaus either. If he truly wanted me, he would come get me. I shifted to a falcon and took off.

I'm leaving the past behind and going toward the future.
