Disclaimer:
I don't own Twilight, cuz if I did then Twilight wouldn't be called Twilight.
It would be named 'How Isabella Turned Edward Down And Turned Into A Volturi, Earning The Name From Her Mate, Alec Volturi'.
Yup, it would be a number one hit.
Chapter 14- Cullen #1 and The Surprise
BPOV
I frowned as I stepped into the doorway with the money from the jar that said 'Food Money' in my hand. I had no ride and if I walked all the way to the store then I would have to walk back with all the grocery bags. I needed to think quickly if I wanted to have the food ready before Charlie got back. I sighed and frowned. I'll loose time just standing here thinking I guess I'll have to walk. At least it wasn't raining, a miracle that happened here in Forks probably once a year. I stomped angrily down the road toward where I thought I had see a store while I was in the cab, let's just hope I right.
I rubbed my hands up and down my arms to soothe the Goosebumps that were forming around them and grumbled a bit. I should have brought a jacket; this blouse that Chelsea made me wear was seriously freezing me.
Ten malicious minutes later, I was entering the warm store, with a ding coming from the door. I grinned at myself. Now that I've made it through that I'm sure that I could go through anything. And I quickly took it back. Having a destiny to being a vampire can bring great things, and not all of them being good. After all, I'm only human.
I took a cart and ran through the aisles, taking things that I'd need for tonight's Italian spaghetti, my special. I grabbed all necessary things and suddenly I felt as if I was being watched. I turned around to look over my shoulder and found no one. I shrugged. It was probably a stalker seeing who the new girl in town was. And I suddenly crashed into someone. I turned back around and first looked at the cart that was full bathroom utensils and not one thing of food. My eyes trailed up the body that was extremely pale. I mentally laughed. No food in cart and really pale. She would have passed as a vampire. And then I landed on her face.
She was a young woman with caramel hair in waves and was awfully beautiful and she had weird golden onyx colored eyes. I froze. Golden eyes. Where have I heard that before? My eyes widened. Carlisle Cullen. The vampire that was considered a freak because of his eating habits. The animal drinker. I shook my head and faced her completely. It could all be just a strange coincidence. Aro never mentioned Carlisle having family. Yeah, that's it. Just a coincidence.No need for me to have a heart attack already. I barely got here.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." The woman said. I plastered a fake smile on my face. The smile that could fool anyone. Vampire or human. Anyone but the Volturi. They knew me too well. Even Alec would rat me out when I would put the smile on to fool but he, of course, would ruin my lie and point out that it was fake.
"No worries," I responded, "I was the one who wasn't looking. Please forgive Ms…" I trailed off. Might as well know her name to completely convince myself that it was just her natural eye color. She smiled kindly at me, though I could tell that it was as false as mine. She probably didn't want to seem rude.
"Cullen. Mrs. Cullen." She completed. I froze once again. Cullen. She was a Cullen.
Shit.
That was the only thing going through my mind right now.
Shit.
I'm busted.
I forced myself to keep the smile on my face.
"Well, forgive me, Mrs. Cullen. I didn't mean to knock into you. I was just a little distracted." I said. She laughed.
"Oh, nonsense! There's nothing to forgive!" She replied cheerfully. I grinned.
"Well, I better get going. Goodbye, Mrs. Cullen." I said. And I really did. Besides having to cook food for Charlie, I had to sort things out in my mind. I just found a vampire here in Forks for God's Sake!
"Yes. Goodbye, Dear." She replied. I smiled and nodded to her and went the opposite way to where she was going, thankful that she didn't bring up that I was new to Forks.
I was barley going through the aisle next to where Mrs. Cullen was when my cell phone rang. I took it out of my jean's pocket and opened it without looking to see who it was. I already had an idea.
"Hello?"
"ISABELLA V-"
"Hello, Chelsea." I interrupted her before she could say my last name. I'm sure Mrs. Cullen could hear us clearly. Surely she knew that there were a lot of Chelsea's around the globe. She didn't know that it had to be a Volturi.
"I thought I made it clear that I wanted you to call when you made it to Forks!" She yelled. I sighed.
"It's nice to talk to you two, Chels." I replied. I heard Mrs. Cullen chuckle from beside me. Yup, she can hear us pretty well. Chelsea sighed through the phone.
"Just wanted to see if you were alive. Anyway, Fefi says hi, Heihei says hey, and Ar-"
"Chelsea." I interrupted. She huffed.
"Why do you keep interrupting me when I'm about to say anything that has to do with you and the V-"
"Chelsea." I said more sternly. She sighed, hopefully finally comprehending.
"I hope you can explain."
"I'll call you later, Chels. Love ya and tell everyone I miss them already." And then I hung up. I hope that when I get back over there in a year she'll completely forget about my cutting her off but knowing vampire's memory, I knew that my chances weren't big.
I was finally in line in the counter when suddenly my phone beeped with a new message and I flipped it open.
What I was SAYING before u hung up on me was that Aro had finally commanded Renata to put her shield around Alec and u so not only will no vamp will be able to use any mental gift on u and Alec, but no other.
Btw, Talking about Alec, how's it going with ur torture with him? Killed him yet? Call me l8ter to explain urself with all the cutting me off.
P.S. Don't think that you're off the hook with that. Love ya,
~C
I sighed and wrote a quick response.
Tell Uncle Aro I said thanks. And no, I haven't killed Alec yet. I haven't seen him. We sort of made an agreement.
I'll call u l8ter to explain.

After I paid for the food I began walking with the heavy bags, trying not to stumble with all the weight when suddenly it began sprinkling, then drizzling, until it began raining and I tried to cover myself up. I groaned. Great. I might catch a cold. Then a black Mercedes slowed down next to me and the black tinted window went down.
"Want me to take you to your house?" Mrs. Cullen asked with a smile. I gave her a nervous smile back.
"I wouldn't want to trouble you." I told her. She smiled and leaned over to the passenger seat to open the door without saying anything.
"Get in." She told me. I smiled and got in the passenger seat, putting the bags on my feet and closing the door.
"Thank you." I said. She smiled again.
"Where to?" She asked. I grinned.
"Swan Residence please." I told her. She raised an eyebrow.
"May I ask why there?" She asked as she drove the car to that direction. I mentally sighed. I knew that it wouldn't last for her not to ask.
"I live there." I responded. She smiled.
"So you're Chief Swan's missing daughter? Bella?" She asked. I chuckled.
"Guess so." I responded and I saw her features soften.
"I heard about your mother, and I'm terribly sorry." She said. I sighed. This was not an easy subject for me, considering that it was the people I now considered as family that killed her.
"Yes." I responded shortly.
"So does Charlie know that you're here?" She asked. I smiled gratefully at her for the sudden change of subject. She smiled back.
"I'm actually looking for a surprise." I said. She laughed.
"Yes, I figured. If Charlie would have known then all Forks would be talking about it by now." She said while laughing, I laughed with her.
"Yeah, I guess so." I told her and then noticed that we were already pulling into the driveway. Wow, time went fast, or maybe it was that I had thought that it was a long journey from my house to the store and back because I was walking.
"Well, thank you for the ride, Mrs. Cullen." I told her as I got out of the flashy car. I got my groceries and prepared to close the door but she stopped me.
"Please, call me Esme." She said with a smile. I smiled back.
"Well, thank you, Esme." She gave me a warmer smile.
"I hope we meet again." She said. I chuckled.
"Well in this town, I doubt we won't."

I was setting my special oven made spaghetti on the counter when I heard the door open and close. I smiled. Charlie's back. And I heard other voices laughing. I chuckled quietly to myself. Good thing that I made enough food to feed an army. I wasn't sure if Charlie would come home hungry or would bring someone else. I recognized the voices coming from the living room as three. A man –who I expected to be Charlie-, a woman and a boy.
Charlie entered the kitchen, still laughing and froze when he saw me.
"Bella?" He asked. I grinned. He still hasn't changed a bit.
"Dad!" I yelled and ran to hug him. He froze again for a bit but then reacted and hugged me back. He wasn't one for feelings but I could tell that he was happy to see me.
"I see that you've lost all your clumsiness, Bella." Charlie chuckled. I laughed and nodded and all of the sudden a throat was cleared. I looked toward the entrance of the kitchen and saw a lady with two kids around my age. One boy and one girl. The boy had a curious expression and the girl was glaring at me. They had russet skin and were beautiful. Charlie chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his neck.
"Sue, this is Bella." He said and instantly Sue smiled at me and hugged me. I awkwardly hugged back. Charlie must have seen my confused face because he sighed and turned to me.
"Bella, this is Sue," He pointed to the lady, "Seth," he pointed to the boy who had a grin on his face and he waved happily, "and Leah," the glaring girl, "They are moving in today. Sue and I are getting married."
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Seth is going to be Bella's step-brother,
Woohoo!
