Attend the Tale of Bella Swan Chapter 9, a twilight fanfic

Well...I am so sorry that this is so late! I had no idea it's been over a month since I updated. I understand this is no excuse but whatever, I'm here now!

Don't own Twilight, whatever.

Let's not waste any time! Let's go!

The cool night air swirled around me as I stood in the pale lighted gazebo. I looked around at the wooded area, the only light I saw was the twinkling of the string lights above me. I was waiting but for what, I knew not. I looked down at the gown I was put in, a beautiful but simple black ballgown with a heart shaped neckline and simple designs. It almost reminded me of Belle's dress from Beauty and The Beast. I lifted my skirts and saw elegant black high heels, 'How am I not falling on my face?' I pondered to myself. I noted that my hair wasn't touching my back anymore. I placed a hand on my head and noticed it was in elegant curls wrapped in a bun. I put my hand on my neck and noticed my heart necklace was gone. 'There is no way I would ever go without that!'

I suddenly heard a soft noise from behind me. I then saw the back of a necklace fall in front of my face and get hooked onto my neck. I looked down at the pendant and saw a grey lion with a hand above him. Below was a ribbon with 3 shamrocks. I turned around and saw Edward, flashing the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. "Your change has done you well Bella." He whispered. 'My what?' I looked confused, he laughed a bit. "My beautiful bride." He mused to himself. 'Bride?!' I looked down at my left hand and saw a beautiful diamond, wedding ring. "Edward.." I tried to ask what was going on but my voice sounded like bells again. He put his hand on my cheek "The eyes won't last for long my love." He assured me "My eyes?" I asked. He laughed softly "Turn around my angel." I did and saw a mirror. I walked towards it and suddenly screamed. My eyes were blood red!

I sat up awake, still screaming. I looked around my room quickly. I took a deep breath and looked at my left hand, no ring. I got up and looked in the mirror, my dark blue eyes stared back at me. I sighed in relief, "It was just a dream, just a dream." I told myself. I looked at my piano and smiled a bit 'If this doesn't calm me, nothing will.' I thought to myself. I sat down and grabbed my newest song. I sighed and played the beginning notes, calming me instantly. I then realized that this song reminded me of Edward and I. I smiled and started to sing.

"There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too

Then one night, as I closed my eyes,
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan. That's what they call me.
I promise that you'll never be lonely."
And ever since that day…

I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."

Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough we reached Neverland
Peacefully my feet hit the sand
And ever since that day...

Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling,
Even Captain Hook.
You are my perfect story book
Neverland, I love you so,
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last

And for always I will say...

Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free."

I smiled and shut off my piano, this truly is my best friend. The one I can go to for anything, something that can always calm me down, no matter what batshit crazy scenario I'm in. I got up and went back to bed, 'That piano is the last thing I have dragging me back into reality.' I thought to myself. Maybe I was meant to be in that world, is that what that dream meant? I sighed and turned over, falling into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. I got up and showered, Charlie was already gone for the day. I checked the calendar quickly, "Saturday, thank god!" I muttered. I got dressed in a white, corset shirt, jeans and black high heeled boots. I put in my blue earrings and went downstairs to take my pills when I heard a car honk. I looked outside and saw Edward leaning against his Volvo with a soft smile. I waved a bit and grabbed my purse. Well, let's see how this goes.

I was sitting on a fallen branch and Edward was leaning against it. I sighed, I had to get some more answers. "So...Can I ask you something?" He looked at me and smiled "You just did." I playfully slapped his chest, "How long have you been like this?" His smile dropped a bit "Since 1918, when Carlisle found me." I could tell he wanted to leave it at that but I'm nosey. "Where did he find you?" "In a hospital, dying of Spanish Influenza. My parents had already died." I looked at the ground, "What was it like?" He sighed and leaned back on the branch "The word excruciating comes to mind. But what Carlisle did was much harder... not many of us have the restraint to do that."

I looked back at him, what? "Wait, don't you just have to….you know.." I made a biting motion, he laughed a bit "Not just. Our bite contains venom. And once we taste blood, a sort of… frenzy begins. It's almost impossible to stop." He lifted me off the branch and we started walking again. "But Carlisle did." I noted, he smiled a bit "First with me, then with his wife, Esme. He found her in a hospital, as well. The others followed." In the hospital? I'm noticing a pattern here. "Does someone have to be dying before they can become a vampire?" He looked at me "No, that's just Carlisle. He would never do... this, to someone who had another choice." I nodded as we got to a small cliff. He sat me down on the edge and sat down next to me.

"So is Carlisle the reason you don't...hunt people?" I asked as he looked out at the water below. "Yes but not the only reason," He looked at me very seriously "I don't want to be a monster." I nodded "You could never be a monster Edward." He smiled softly and laughed a bit "We call ourselves vegetarians, by the way... " He stood up, looking down at me "For our kind, hunting animals is like living on tofu. It keeps you strong but isn't very satisfying." I laughed a bit. Edward suddenly got up and ran back to the tree line before I could blink. I smiled and walked over to him. "Show off…" I teased. He laughed "Not that impressive really. Everyone in my family can do that." I got to him and we started walking along the water. "Can everyone read minds too?" He laughed, "They wish they were that cool! Nah, that's just me. But Alice can see the future." I smiled a bit "I bet she saw me coming." Edward stopped and turned to me, suddenly serious. "Her visions are subjective. The future can change." He turned quickly and kept walking. I sighed 'You know, I thought maybe once I found out about him, he would stop being a dick. Guess you can't win with Edward.' I thought to myself. "Hey!" I yelled out as he got further, "Wait for me!" I ran to him.

The next day, I decided my truck desperately needs to get washed. Of course Edward decided to help by just sitting on the roof, some help he was! I sighed as Hamilton played around us. Edward told me yesterday he wanted to learn more about musicals. Of course, I had to make the joke. "So let's start, cause you've got an awful long way to go." Wicked? Anyone? Ehh whatever. Suddenly, he jumped down. He's planning something, I can tell. "What?" I asked. He smiled "Come to my house tomorrow." I looked over at him. "Wait what?" He smiled softly "I want you…. to come to….. my house…... tomorrow." He repeated slowly, jackass. I glared but let it go. "With your family?" He shrugged "Yeah." He leaned down and fixed the dent from the van. "Thanks." I smiled then frowned "But what if they don't like me?" He laughed "You're worried, not because you'll be in a houseful of vampires, but because you think they won't approve of you?" I sprayed him with the hose and laughed. "You're mean!" He pouted. I laughed harder.

Suddenly, he became stone faced "Edward, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly. He sighed and looked at me, "A complication." I looked down and saw a black truck coming down the road. "I'll pick you up tomorrow." I nodded and he went to his car. I sighed and got back to my car. The truck pulled up by my house and Jacob jumped out, grabbing Billy's wheelchair. "Hey Bells!" He cried out to me and him and Billy came up the driveway. "Hey Jake!" I smiled. "Come to see your truck?" He laughed "Looks good, got the dent out." I smiled. Billy cleared his throat. "Actually we came to visit your flat screen. First game of the season." He smiled and winked at Jacob. "Plus, Jake here has been begging to see you again." I smiled and Jacob glared at him. "Thanks dad."

Charlie pulled into the driveway and smiled as he saw Billy. He got out of the car and pulled out two 6 packs of beer. Gross. "Pale Ale." Billy grabbed his bag from Jacob "Harry's homemade fish fry." Charlie smiled brighter "My man!" We all headed into the house and Charlie headed to the recliner, Billy sat beside him, Jacob sat on the couch and I stood in the doorway. "Any luck on the Waylon case?" Billy asked. Charlie sighed "Found a footprint out at the crime scene today. A bare, human footprint." I gasped softly and Jacob's eyes widened. "A person did that?" I asked softly. "A crazy person walking around barefoot." Jacob commented. Charlie looked at Billy, "Spread the word out at the rez, will ya? Keep the kids out of the woods." Billy nodded "Of course," He looked up at me "Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt." I shivered a bit at his gaze and excused myself to the kitchen.

'Well tomorrow's gonna be an adventure,' I thought to myself as I got ready for bed. 'I get to meet my now…...My boyfriend's…? I don't even know what we are, house and the icing on the cake, they're all vampires.' I sighed and pulled out clothes, would do you wear when you meet vampires? I just grabbed a simple dress and stockings, good enough I guess. I got into bed and turned on my Spring Awakening soundtrack, falling into a deep sleep.

"Awful sweet to be a little butterfly.
Just wingin' over things
And nothing deep inside.
Nothin goin', goin' wild in you, you know.
You're slowing by the riverside,
Or floatin' high and blue.

Or may be cool to be a little summer wind.
Like once through everything
And then away again.
With the taste of dust in your mouth all day
But no need to know.
Like sadness, you just sail away.

'Cuz you know I don't do sadness,
Not even a little bit.
Just don't need it in my life.

Don't want any part of it.
I don't do sadness.
Hey, I've done my time
Lookin' back on it all.
Man, it blows my mind.

I don't do sadness,
So been there.
Don't do sadness,
Just don't care."

Alright, now I gotta get back to work!
