Bella:
"What? Why?" Why did they say it was good I hid my identity? What was going on?
"Well… We haven't been told much by Riley of why we've been created, and he doesn't really seem to know too much either. All he said was that it was something to do with Isabella Swan and the Cullen's. Something about the Cullen's, something they did years ago, before we were even born." Diego tells me. I gasp at what he says. The Cullen's… How do I know them?
"How would they not recognise me?" Surely they would tell I was Isabella Swan when they changed me? And why target me if it was something the Cullen's did?
"I don't know. Maybe the person who changed you did not know to look out for you." Fred says, and it sounds logical. I'm not listening at this point, because something in what they said about the Cullen's helps me to remember things. I reach into the back pocket of my jeans. I find what I'm looking for, a small picture. I pull it out, and look at it. I'm met by the face of Edward Anthony Masen – soon to be Cullen at the end.
I gasp again, and everyone looks at me. I think they were already waiting for me to say something.
"I…I remember. This picture, it's Edward. He's a vampire, and we were dating. We were mates. I remember his adoptive siblings, Alice and Rosalie, and their mates. And Esme and Carlisle…how could I have forgotten?" They all stare at me. They stare a lot. "I have to go! I have to find them!" I'm about to take off running, when Diego stops me.
"Think about it. If you just take off running, they're going to suspect something. Who was it that changed you?" Diego reasons with me.
"I don't know her name. She had fiery red hair, that's all I can remember." I answer as honestly as I can.
"Right. She's not in charge, but she's higher up the ranks, you could say, than Riley. We know his name because he's only one step up from us, the newborns. Then there's this redhead, and then there's whoever in charge." Diego explains.
"How do you know all this?"
"We've been trying to work out what's going on. We've been listening in the conversations." Fred answers.
"We can escape, now! We can be free! Come on, let's go! What happens if we go back and they discover I'm actually Bella Swan, not Marie Dwyer. It's not even a good fake name!" I protest.
"Why not? It's different, but not too obscure." Bree asks me.
"Marie is my middle name and Dwyer is my mother's surname. She remarried." Yeah, that doesn't go down to well.
"They're bound to figure this out, then! Why didn't you think of a better name?" Diego practically shouts.
"Because I had no idea I had to give a fake name! I'm not going back; they'll know who I am for sure!" They can't stop me.
"They'll know even sooner if you run away!" Diego shouts back. I'm about to speak up of flee, but Bree stops me.
"Stop! Both of you! Bella, Marie, whoever, for some reason you can be close to Fred and not be repelled? Well, we go back, with Bella. They will know she's back, but they'll stay away, because of Fred. That will give us some time, try and work out what to do." Bree suggests. I nod in agreement.
"Ok. But if we learn nothing after 3 days, I'm going to find Edward. Now I've remembered him, I miss him." Everyone nods at my statement.
"Before we go back I'm taking you hunting. And, everyone remember to call her Marie." Diego and I run off into the forest, and my senses all focus on the sounds of animals I can hear. I can hear a deer's heartbeat, and I run towards it. It doesn't hear me coming, and soon enough I'm latching on to its neck and draining it. I finish off three more deer's before Diego and I run back.
Once we're back at the warehouse, I immediately go to Fred. Everyone continues their fighting, until Riley walks into the room. What's he doing here?
"Everybody. We're going to be moving soon, but first, I need to find someone. I believe there is a Miss Marie Dwyer somewhere in this room. Or, perhaps I should call you by your real name?" Shit, I knew I should have run away. Now what do I do?
"Alright. Isabella, or Bella, Swan, come forward." Riley shouts into the warehouse.
"Right. I'm going to walk forward, and you stay as close to me as possible. I'm going to repel Riley." Fred whispered quietly in my ear. Since Riley was at the other side of the warehouse, he couldn't hear him.
"Ok." I whispered back just as quietly, and we stated walking. Once we got there, Riley looked even more scary than when I first saw him.
"I asked for Isabella, not you, Fred." Riley sneered.
"Well, I'm just protecting my friend." Fred replied, whilst keeping walking. He got so close to Riley that Riley visibly cringed and backed away.
"How are you staying so close to him?" Riley demanded. I didn't answer, I just kept walking with Fred, and soon, we broke out into a run.
"I WILL FIND YOU, ISABELLA!" Riley screamed, but his voice was soon lost as we kept running.
"What do we do now?" Fred asked.
"Now, we find the Cullen's!" I squealed happily.
A/N: So, Bella has remembered things and broke free! Yay! Let's see if she finds the Cullen's in the next chapter! :D
Review please :)
