Hey guys, like I said before, this chapter takes place a few years after the previous one.
This is because I didn't like writing Bella/Edward hate, so I skipped a few years where its not as bad.
So I got a review saying that they didn't like how Bella is rude, and Edward is the perfect gentlemen. Well, you see, I did this because number one: Bella is very pissed off at Edward for leaving. And Number two: Edward doesn't want Bella hating him, so he is being polite.
Anyway, Review please.(:
Author quickie: here is a link to what the house looks like: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
BPOV
The years went by very fast ever since Edward came. And now, sure enough, we have to move again. Carlisle wants to move up to Washington, but Esme and I want to move to England. I want to go there for the amazing shopping and dresses they have there, and Esme loves the Victorian houses there. Edward is just going along with wherever is decided to move.
I heard Carlisle and Esme arguing over where we are going to be moving downstairs. "But Carlisle. The houses there are new! I want an old, 1800's house in England!" I heard Esme saying.
"The 1800's are not old!" Carlisle stated as soon as Esme was don't talking. I laughed silently, Carlisle is picky about his age. I crept down the stairs to find where they were arguing, but saw Edward peering into the kitchen. Taking one look at his amused face, I knew that was where Carlisle and Esme were.
I walked past Edward glaring at hi, and through the kitchen doors. Carlisle and Esme didn't seem to notice my presence, so I went to the island and took a seat at one of the stools.
"Carlisle! We have to move to England!" Esme was saying as she emptied a cabinet into a box.
"No Esme. We don't. im sure we could find a Victorian in Washington." Carlisle said, also helping putting away the useless china we have. Esme looked heartbroken, so I interfered.
"Actually Carlisle, I think we do need to move to England. I mean, have you seen how many dress shops they have? Its amazing." I stated, staring at my newly painted nails.
Edward laughed, and then walked into the kitchen mumbling something about shopping problems. I turned to glare at him as he sat at the other end of the island. Carlisle and Esme were whisper-arguing quietly so we couldn't hear what they were saying.
I frowned, and crossed my arms over my chest. This is so unfair! I think we should have a say in where we were to be moving. I wanted to growl about how unreasonable Carlisle was being, but I held it in. instead, I looked back over at them to see that Esme's box was full. Quickly, I commanded the box with my 'power' to go to the top of the stack of boxes in the hallway. Once the brown box was off of the counter, I called for another empty box to replace where the box was previously.
I smiled a satisfactory smile at my work, and unraveled my arms to stare at my nails again. After a few minutes, their voices grew louder. I heard Edward groan, so I turned to Carlisle and Esme.
"Excellent." Esme said, practically squealing. I laughed at how she was acting. She was only like ths when she got something she really wanted, but couldn't have. Wait, so that means…"WERE MOVING TO ENGLAND?!" I screamed.
Carlisle sighed, and Edward groaned at how loud I was. Carlisle's sigh confirmed it, so I got up and squealed with Esme, but then ran up to my closet quickly. I have some packing to do, but this time I might need more suitcases. I ran into the back of my closet, and unburied the eight huge suitcases I had stored there. I was then around my room, grabbing all of my dresses, and under dresses, and shoes, and bonnets, and skirts, and blouses. After a while, I had a huge pile in the middle of my closet.
I closed my eyes in concentration. I didn't have enough suitcases to hold the huge pile I now have. I guess I could just use one of Edward's.
"NO! Isabella, you will not be using one of my suitcases! Where am I supposed to put all of the clothes you buy me?" Edward screamed from his room. Stupid mind readers.
I hissed at him. "Stop reading my mind. You know I don't like that."
He growled back at me. "I can't help it, now keep packing princess, maybe you can go to the store and get another suitcase." he said sarcastically.
I smiled, that wasn't a bad idea, sarcasm or not. Now I have some shopping to do.
*~*
After two days of non-stop packing, everything in the house was packed and ready to go, and our new house was already bought. The house was near the center of England, in a widely spread out neighborhood. The town shops were a few blocks away, and I couldn't be happier.
Edward groaned about how many suitcases of clothes I had, but I just replied with "It's 1933. These clothes could be worth a very large amount of money in a few years, especially with my vintage lace." he rolled his eyes at me, but I just held my head high. I think that was a perfectly good reason to bring all of my clothes.
Over the next few weeks, we will be on a boat to England. I had convinced Carlisle to buy a personal boat for us, that way we could get there faster. I also didn't want to be too close to humans, I wouldn't want Edward's control to slip, even though it has been a few years.
The boat trip hasn't been very fun, what with Edward telling us what some of the fish are thinking, and with the constant noises from the sea around us. It got quite annoying, actually. Esme and I were playing cards when I heard the familiar swooshing sound running made, and rolled my eyes. "Edward! Please stop running up and down the hall. It is giving me a headache."
"You can't get headaches Isabella." Edward said from the doorway, "And I was running to get you and Esme. Carlisle said that we're here and we need to run our luggage that wasn't already shipped to the house."
"Oh." Esme quickly cleaned up the cards, and was out the door to her room. I ran around the room I was in, quickly collecting bags, and was out the door. I couldn't wait to get out of this boat. I walked down the narrow wooden door, carrying all nine of my suitcases, and onto the deck, meeting with Esme.
"They already left for the house." Esme explained, noticing me looking around the empty dock. I nodded my head, and turned to follow their trail to the house with Esme. It was nighttime so nobody noticed our quickly moving figures, not that they would anyways. The trail led to a huge Victorian style white house. The house had many points and bumps in the roof, and was three floors. The porch went on the left side completely, and a quarter of the right side of the house. There were many windows, but it didn't have a window wall like the last two houses. There was a giant chimney on the left, and the house looked amazing.
Esme and I set our bags down on the porch, and walked inside. It was magnificent. It was very open and inviting, and had all of our furniture already in it. The loft was just as big as our last one, but it didn't have the fireplace. The dining room had a new oak table, and the fireplace was directly behind it. The furniture movers went above and beyond, with adding flower vases, paintings, polishing the floors, and magnets on the icebox. Esme was dashing around the house adding family pictures, more paintings, and all sorts of decorative pillows and blankets. When esme was done adding things, she went back to the boat and got all of the new paints she bought. We painted the rooms in silence, until Carlisle came down at ten in the morning to go to the hospital.
Looking outside, it was dark and rainy. Perfect weather for vampires. Esme finished painting the piano room, and went outside to tend to the flower pots and plants. Edward got bored watching me stand there and do nothing after a while, and walked to the library mumbling about reading. I took this as my chance to shop. I grabbed my coat, my purse, and was out the door in a flash.
I walked two blocks until I found the shopping center. In the middle of all of the stores was a huge store with a sign that read "kings bank". nobody was out here except for two people standing in front of the bank I will never need to go to. The one girl was shorter, had brown straight hair, and a friendly face. The other, however, had long golden blonde hair, was tall, and had ice blue eyes. She was very beautiful for a human, and I couldn't help but wonder how she would look if she was a vampire.
The one with the brown hair noticed me looking at the empty shopping center smiled and waved at me. "I've never seen you around before. Did you just move here?" she asked In a warm voice.
I nodded my head. "Yes. I actually just moved here yesterday. My sister sent me shopping." I lied easily, smiling back at her.
"Oh. Nice to meet you. My name is Vera." she greeted me.
"I'm Isabella swan." I responded, using my real last name, because after all, I am Esme's sister now.
When I said this, however, Vera looked shocked, and the blonde was just glaring at me rudely. After a minute she finally said, "The doctor? Im assuming you are Carlisle's sister in law?"
I smiled and nodded again. "Yes. Im just staying with them right now because I am studying to become a nurse." I lied again.
"That is neat. I'm sure you'll do wonderful, with Carlisle helping you." she said just as warmly as before, completely oblivious to my lieing.
"Yes, well, I better get shopping before Edward gets angry with me."
"Who's Edward?" Vera asked politely. I completely forgot about not saying anything about him. I couldn't believe I was so stupid. I scolded myself silently, but she didn't seem to notice my pause.
"Edward is actually Carlisle's brother. He is staying here with us as well." I lied through my teeth again. I have to say, I felt guilty. Vera seems so nice, and I don't like having to lie to her. I glanced at the other girl, and saw her still glaring at me, but with a look of concentration on her face.
"Oh. I see. Well, I don't want to get you in trouble. Nice meeting you, I hope to see you again." she smiled at me again, and held out her hand.
I took it cautiously, and saw her flinch at my cold body temperature. She smiled again, and then parted ways with the other girl, dragging her along. As they were walking away, I heard her say "lets go. I want to get back to Henry. She seemed nice."
I didn't hear the other girl say anything, I just saw her nod her head in response. I sighed, not liking how I didn't know what the other girl had against me. I've never met her before, but she didn't seem to be that nice.
I then turned to look at the signs above the shops again. There was a diner, a tailor, a telephone store, a construction store, a shoe store, a grocery store, a malt shop, and a dress store. Smiling, I walked to the store with the sign of the dress store, and inside.
I saw many dress racks, some coat racks, and a purse aisle. I quickly went to the dress aisle, and looked at the small section. There was a blue lacy dress that I liked, and a lilac dress that was mid calf, and poofed out at the bottom. I bought them both, knowing they would fit, and left the store. I stopped at the construction store for some new paint brushes for Esme, and was quickly on my way back home.
Walking inside, I smelt human food, and quickly went into the kitchen to see why. Esme had the kitchen done so it looked exactly like our old one, because she loved it so much. She was sitting at the table with a woman who looked to be middle aged, with a jello on the counter. A welcoming gift im assuming.
I quickly backed out of the room, and into the third floor to my room. I got the room with the three windows that formed a circle. It was very big, and again, looked exactly like my human bedroom. I wanted to have something that reminded me of home, and my room was the perfect thing. I laid down on the bed, and sighed. Why did that blonde girl hate me so much? What did I do to her?
