Yah, double digits! Don't expect me to update every day... I write this when I'm bored or don't want to do homework. Be happy I'm a lazy procrastinator.

Warning: more terrible geography (but I did do some googling.. Yeah, I thought Chicago was on the other side of the US. Fail).

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, if I did, so many trees could have been saved

I ended up on the coast of Australia. I was a few feet under the water. The sun was shining, very low in the sky, and there was a smiling couple walking along the beach, waves lapping at their feet, looking at each other like no one else in the world mattered. I smiled sadly. It was sweet, yet It made pain rip through me as I thought of my love and how I'd lost him. It reminded me of how people always said we looked at each other. I made sure they where out of view before my head broke the surface of the water, my skin sparkled as the sun hit it. I ran into town as the sun set.

I still had my waterproof backpack with me, but all of the clothing was slightly of date, and all the money I had was English. I shook my head sadly as I went through my current possessions. I took a deep breath as I waited outside of a small town. The sun still lingered in the sky.

When the sky finally went dark and the first stars began appearing in the sky, I walked into town. I kept my head down, not wanting too much attention. I came across the smell of vampires. A trail. It was fresh. I stopped, frowning. A few people looked at me oddly, there eyes where fearful. I debated following the smell. I was sure it was three vampires. I could handle them. I could probably take on the entire Volturi at once if I wanted to. I walked through the town quickly, following the smell, ignoring the townspeople and the looks I occasionally received.

I came across a clearing in the woods. As I broke through the trees, I saw three vampires standing there.

The first thing I registered was their red eyes. Bright red, as if they had just fed. One was a woman, with wild red hair. There where two men. One had sand-coloured hair, while the other's was dark, both with the same short haircut.

They all crouched down when they saw me, ready to fight if the need came. "Peace," I said, "I do not wish to fight."

They straightened, but only slightly. They did not believe me.

"Hello," said the man with dark hair, "I'm Laurent, and these are James and Victoria. And you are?"

"Isabella Swan, but please, call me Bella." I responded politely.

"Well, Bella, may I inquire what you are doing here?"

I took a deep breath, "wandering. Trying to escape the memories of my past. Wanting to start new."

He looked thoughtful, "I'd rather not ask what you mean."

I smiled gratefully at him, "I'd rather not talk about it."

"Why are your eyes golden?" He asked.

"I drink animals, not humans." I explained. They looked shocked, as if they could not comprehend not killing people.

"Why?" the woman, Victoria asked, staring at me as if I'd grown ten heads.

"I don't want to kill people. He wouldn't have wanted me to kill people," I responded. They didn't ask who "he" was.

"Do you feed in this town?" I asked.

"Yes, we do," James answered.

"Don't. I received many strange looks when I walked through there. They suspect something," I said.

"What are you going to do about it? We will hunt wherever we please, and some young vampire girl is not going to stop us!" James yelled at me. I wasn't worried. With my shields, I could probably take down the whole Volturi. They hadn't let me leave without a fight, but I was set. I was done killing vampires who did something wrong.

"Look, I don't want to kill you, but I will of I have to," and James lunged at me.

I threw my physical shield around him, tightening it so that he could not move. I beheaded him, then tore the rest of him to shreds. I was about to set him on fire when Victoria tackled me. I made quick work of her, easily tearing her body into pieces. When I was done, her body was in a pile with James. I looked at Laurent, raising an eyebrow. "I will not fight you Bella," I took a lighter and threw it on the pile, lighting them on fire, still staring at Laurent. "Though I must ask, what is your power?"

"Shielding." I answered. "Both physical and mental."

"Wow," he breathed.

We talked for a while, standing around the burning bodies of James and Victoria.

I stayed with Laurent for twelve years. He stopped killing humans, and I became a nurse, working only the night shift. We moved around a lot, traveling the world together. I missed Edward dearly, but least I knew I had someone. I never told him my story, and he never asked. He knew it was of love and loss, that much was obvious, but he didn't treat me worse. Like I couldn't do anything, simply because my heart was broken. I was stronger than that. I had done my grieving. Five years on the bottom of the ocean.

Ohh! Yeah, I just wanted some event, so I thought, James, Laurent and Victoria! Why not? I was gunna make them lose, but then I remembered Alice, then I thought "that other vampire can change her Without James' threat." So I made them lose anyway.

Give me ideas! Where should Bella go next? No Epov, sorry! If I'm gunna do that, I'll make it a separate story. Sorry that Im bad at chapter length. And spelling. I cheated on all my elementary spelling tests... Thank you spellcheck.
