Guys I am soo sorry- welll it's not my fault. The laptop stopped charging and we had to get a new charger, and now it works. Well, somewhat works... So don't worry. I am posting and the story continues...
Technically- this is a new story (A New Life- The End) But I'm continuing it on here.
Isabella's POV
I stayed on the bed, waiting for something or someone to happen... other than the Cullens. I sighed, and looked at the time. It was 8:56. I wasn't as tired as I should've been... since I had taken a nap on the couch a while ago.
My phone started blaring a classical tune- which was Charlie's ringtone.
"Hello, daddy?" I said into the phone.
"Bella, sorry for hangin' up on you like that. I had to keep Phil in check." Charlie said, he sounded irritated.
"It's fine... I guess. When are you guys coming back home? This town is giving me the creeps." I said.
"Now why is that?" He asked.
"Well, for one thing, all the people in the neighborhood are weirdos. They're too nice. I need some mean people around..." I said.
"Yeah, that's... normal." Charlie joked. "Your mother and I are packing, so I'll check on you later."
"Night." I said.
"Night." He said.
I stepped into my night clothes and got into bed. I laid there for a while thinking of what my life would have been, if it were normal. But nothing in my life is normal. And I think I just need to get a hold on that.
...
When I woke up in the morning, I felt like a brand new person, in a new life. I started by taking a shower, brushing my hair and teeth, and walking downstairs to get breakfast. While I was walking downstairs, I soon got a bad feeling throughout my body. Either something wasn't right... or someone was here.
Before I reached the bottom of the step, I looked around, making sure there were no burglars. I silently took off my shoes, wanting to make no noise what-so-ever. I peeked around the corner again, then thought to myself- maybe I was just being afraid... Maybe I was overreacting about this entire Cullen vs. Swan situation.
I sighed and touched the wooden floor with my foot. But a sudden rush went through me- someone has been inside this house. Then the floor creaked above me. I silently ran to the phone, wanting to call Charlie.
"Hello..." Charlie answered, he sounded tired.
"Daddy... I think someone's in the house." I whispered, keeping my back to the wall.
"Stay hidden... and do what you think is best." He said. "You'll know what to do..."
And with that, he hung up the phone. Thanks for the help Charlie... I rolled my eyes, and hung up the phone. I stayed where I was, ready to do anything that would lunge it self at me. When I heard another creak, it came from my left.
Then I pulled out my elbow, without even thinking, and elbowed someone in the face. The intruder fell to the floor, groaning. She was blonde, pale- a vampire. I gasped, and stepped back.
The blonde girl stood up and looked at me- she had a crack on the side on her face. She growled at me, and was ready to attack, however another blonde came into the room.
She looked at me, every quickly, then grabbed the girl that was trying to attack me and left. They were vampires- no doubt about that. And the girl was either hunting or trying to kill me.
Edward's POV
I watched the Denali's escape Isabella and run towards our house. I was following, but not close enough for them to hear me. This is exactly what I didn't want- a vampire hunter trying to rise up and kill everyone, even her father was here, or coming here.
They were able to reach our house before I could. My family was already out, waiting for them to arrive again.
"Do you know that there is a possible vampire-hunter here Carlisle?" Eleazar asked. Eleazar knew much about vampire-hunters, considering that he has ran into one before.
"I am aware of that. Though, the girl doesn't seem to know a lot." Carlisle said. "We have confronted her, her father does not know that we are here. Only she does, we only hope that she hasn't said anything to him."
"And if he does?" Carmen asked.
"Then we would have a problem on our hands." Carlisle responded.
"Well bad news, I've been watching her." I said. Esmé was about to say something about my safety until I continued. "Wait, I've been keeping a distance, to the point where she wouldn't suspect me. She has called her father, but he isn't telling her anything in the time-being."
"Keep away from the house..." Esmé whispered to me. I nodded.
"We need to warn the Volturi..." Irina stated.
"Absolutely not!" I said.
"We don't want to involve them, Irina. That would start a war between the vampires and all the hunters." Carlisle said, more calmly than I did.
"We need not to involve the Volturi, Carlisle is right." Eleazar said. "They would kill them, and anyone in the way. We have to keep quiet about this."
"And if they find out? What's to say what will happen to us all?" Irina asked.
"Sister... I am asking you, not to say anything." Tanya said.
"I won't. But I am warning you, this secret will get out, and fast." Irina said.
"We should move away." Kate suggested. "It's too dangerous here."
"You can all move, however I have made an agreement with Charlie when we first came to Forks. He knew we didn't drink human blood, so he gave up some space."
"Do you think it will still apply here?" Kate asked.
"I believe so." Carlisle said. "The Swans would make some advantage for us."
"Swans! The hunters are Swans!" Irina said. "We will all be dead in seconds."
"We do not know that Irina. Please, keep calm. I have decided to go to Italy, to talk to the Volturi about the vampire-hunter legends. Hopefully, the Swans have changed over the years, but I cannot make sure of it. Not until I get a close view." Carlisle said.
"Aro will read you mind." Tanya said.
"No. Sometimes I have gone up to the Volturi to seek for reasons. Aro has not read my mind in all the times I have been there. I am safe." Carlisle said.
"I will go with you." Eleazar said.
"I cannot ask you to do that." Carlisle said.
"Well, I want to know as much as you want to know." Eleazar argued. "And it's best if I go. The Volturi do not dislike me, so there's no worry in Aro."
"If you'd like..." Carlisle gave in. "As for everyone else. You need to stay here. Leave the Swans alone until further notice. If you don't, it will cost us our lives." We all nodded, agreeing with what the Swans are capable of doing.
I was to watch over Irina, in case she didn't agree with Carlisle, and wanted to hurt Bella. I wasn't going to allow it in the first place, but something told me I needed to watch over her, just in case.
For the rest of the night, we let Carlisle and Eleazar get ready for their trip. Esmé was worried, as usual, but I knew Carlisle would end up letting her go with him, and he did... So now Esmé was going. I rolled my eyes, as well as Emmett.
"We will see you all later. Keep your phones on you." Carlisle said. We nodded, and they left. Now we just needed to act normal for the time being. But I knew no one would be calm about the leaving of Carlisle and Eleazar, and that there was a vampire hunter family out. No one would be calm. Not even Jasper.
Isabella's POV
I was bored the rest of the day, as usual. Other than the almost-fight with a vampire, or whatever she was, nothing crazy happened. Helen and Drew kept walking past the house, like they were waiting for something to happen. I would watch them out of my bedroom window, since it faced the front.
Drew seemed like he didn't want to be there, wanting to get out of there. Helen was... well curious. But a strange curious. I think she knows something, but I didn't want to confront her about it. I wanted to wait... to see how things played out.
And then there's Raven, the girl I ran into in the restaurant. I didn't know if I was going crazy or something, but I've seen her car drive by at least three times. It was weird... or I was really losing it.
Around 4 in the afternoon, Helen and Drew finally knocked on my door.
"Hi." I said, not wanting to seem like I knew they were here.
"Hey." Helen said, with a smile on her face.
"Hey Bella..." Drew said, who obviously didn't want to be here.
"We're just checking on you, to see how you're doing." Helen said.
"I'm fine. Just like yesterday." I said. "Thanks. And if Charlie is putting you up to this, I'm sorry. He can be very..."
"Stubborn." Drew said, using the word I was looking for.
"Yeah. Sorry." I awkwardly said, scratching my head.
"See you later Bella." Drew said, wrapping up the conversation. Helen was about to explode, but Drew dragged her away from the steps. I almost wanted to laugh, but I held it in, for another day.
I wanted to be productive, so I started to put things away, also noticing that some of the things have been put away, but I ignored it. By 6 o clock, I was more than halfway down with the house. Now when Renée came, I would have more things to put away, a lot more...
I made myself dinner, cleaned, then just laid in bed. There was nothing else to do. School was going to start soon, but not soon enough. Part of me missed Forks, but I wanted something new. I wanted to get away from my old life.
Isabella...
I jumped up, at the sound of my name. It's like the house just whispered my name. I gasped and sat up. I looked around, unsure of what to do. So I ended up calling Charlie.
"Hey baby girl." He answered.
"When are you guys coming?" I asked.
"Well, we were able to load your mother's things onto a plane, we'll be leaving tomorrow." He said. "Why? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"No. I'm not hurt. Just a little freaked out... I'm going crazy I guess. I thought the house whispered my name. Ha, how crazy am I?"
"You're not crazy at all doll. Remember that." He said. I answered by nodding, knowing that he couldn't see my nod then said okay.
"Talk to you later." I said. "Love you, night."
"You too, night."
We hanged up and I laid in the bed again.
Isabella...
I almost wanted to scream, but I didn't. Someone would hear me. Just as I was about to put my headphones in, to block the sound, I got a text from Charlie.
Look this name up for me: Jane Meredith Swan. Please write what you find, we'll talk about it later. Love you.
I didn't respond and went straight to the computer. I typed in her name, and what I got was... strange.
"Jane Meredith Swan. Jane ran around the town of Talkeetna yelling that vampires actually existed. Jane was then put into solitude, being mentally dangerous. However, a year later, she was found killing someone, but not in a natural way. Jane was then sentenced to immediate death. While she was jailed, Jane continuously drew pictures of monsters-or as she called them-vampires. Before she was hanged, Jane warned her fellow town that vampires existed under their noses, as to the strange deaths of blood loss. Jane Meredith Swan died at age of 21 and had no children. It is a myth that Jane walks around the town screaming at the people about vampires or she whispers someone's name for help."
I stayed where I was. Charlie knew something, and then there was the strange whispering of my name. I put my head down on the desk, not wanting to believe what I read. There was no Jane... this isn't real.
With that on my mind, I walked away from the computer after taking down some notes for Charlie. I didn't want anything to happen that has happened in my "dreams".
I laid down on the bed, without looking at the time and somewhat easily drifted away into my sleep.
In the morning, I did a daily routine of showering, cooking my breakfast, then unpacking what ever was left. There wasn't a lot left so I was able to unpack quickly. That, or my energy was very high.
Charlie and Renée would be coming home today, so I was excited for that, knowing that my parents can actually stand each other by living under the same house. Though, I did wonder if they would end up fighting, so I had to make myself aware in the situation.
I also kept my iPod in my ears. I didn't want the house to whisper my name, or should I say Jane? I shuddered just by thinking about it. Then I got bored. So I just ended up driving around the town.
The town was small, though a little bigger than Forks. I did get out the car for awhile to take a picture of the sun and the mountains. Alaska was beautiful... no beautiful isn't even the word. It was perfect... gorgeous... Just knowing that I lived in Alaska was amazing. A true opportunity.
When I was about to leave the view, after staring at it for a long time, my car would not start. I rolled my eyes, knowing that this would happen to me.
"No surprise there..." I mumbled to myself.
Thinking that I was a mechanic, I popped open my engine, and stared at it. Yeah, not helping...
Just as I was about to call somebody, anybody really, I felt the presence of someone... no two vampires.
"What do you want?" I asked. I knew they heard me. They weren't deaf.
"You're stuck." a male voice said. It sounded like Edward. Sure enough it was him and Emmett.
"Well, nice statement." I said. "You had some balls showing up here."
"We might as well help, considering that you would have been stuck here." Emmett said. "Alice said you wouldn't be able to contact anybody, especially since you know no one and your parents are on a plane."
"Ha ha... Hurry up and fix my car, so I can leave." I said.
"Pushy much?" Emmett asked. Edward tapped Emmett's arm to shut him up, which would be best for Emmett to do.
Emmett looked at my car and moved some things around. But whatever he did, it was able to start up my car again.
"Thank you." I said. "Maybe if you weren't a vampire, I would have hugged you."
"So, you're actually starting to believe it." Edward stated.
"My father is hinting it at me. And since you and your family decided it was best to show up at my front door, it made me realize I wasn't asleep again."
"Nice..." Emmett said. "See you later Bella."
"Bye." I said. "Oh, and the next time any of you come into my house again, I'll kill you all." I was being serious too. These guys were vampires... I was starting to wonder why Charlie didn't do anything to them. They all have at least killed someone in their lifetime.
Emmett and Edward only nodded at my little threat. They knew I would be able to hurt them, it wasn't a joke. They both then disappeared into the trees of the Alaskan forestry.
I hopped in my car and took my time driving back home. Surprisingly, Charlie and Renée were just arriving when I showed up.
"Bella!" Renée said, opening her arms. I smiled at went into her embrace. I hugged Charlie also.
"We need to talk." I whispered into his ear. He nodded, knowing what exactly I was going to say to him. And he better had prepared himself for this talk.
We loaded everything into the house, well the stuff that they brought from the plane. Renee's stuff would be flying in from the plane tomorrow.
At night, Renée was cooking dinner, while Charlie and I were sitting in the living room waiting. This would be the best time to talk to him now, since it seems like Renée doesn't know anything.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked him.
He smiled, my reaction made him smile... "There are a lot of things that happen in this world that even the supernatural doesn't know about."
"And I do?" I asked. "What is going on?"
"You're a vampire hunter Isabella. You were born one. So was I. No matter how many times we turn our back on it, it just keeps coming back. It's in your blood." He said.
"And Re- Mom?" I asked.
"She doesn't know anything. And I'd like to keep it that way. I didn't really want her dragged into this mess."
"But you married her." I said. "Doesn't that sort of bring her into this?"
"To a degree." He said. "I just don't want her to find out about the supernatural."
"Are we considered supernatural? When were you going to tell me this? And why are the Cullens here? Why do they keep messing with me?"
"Isabella, slow down." He said. "Yes, we are considered supernatural only because we are able to run faster than the average human, and we're stronger. But not to the degree of a vampire nor a werewolf. I was going to tell you when you were 18, but then you got into a serious accident... And pretty much your mind told you the truth instead of me."
"But why was it based off of the Cullens? I have never met them." I said.
"I don't know about that. That's something I'm going to have to figure out later." He said. "The Cullens are here because they moved her right after the first time you woke up. You actually scared them. They apparently keep messing with you because they're still scared. You are a vampire hunter Bella, they're vampires..."
"This is too much..." I said, burying my head into my hands.
"I know." He said. "That's why I am telling you slowly. There's a lot to learn. Or, you already know what's going on. Maybe your mind told you."
"What's more to learn about?"
"Do you know who the Council is?" He asked.
"Yes. I know about the Council, Cronus, The Volturi, the wolves..." I said. "I could go on if you'd like."
"Actually, I'm going to need you to write all the things that you know." He said. "Then I'll read it, to see what you know. But it seems like you know everything."
"Possibly." I said. "Oh, and I talked to them today. Well, two of them. The car stopped working for some reason... And they helped."
"Stay away from them Bella."
"They're the ones that keep showing up. Not me." I said.
"I'll talk to them later." He said. "And also va-" He stopped talking because Renée walked into the living room.
She sat on the couch, and sighed.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah..." She answered. "But Charlie left the toilet seat up..."
"Oh jeez woman, don't start."
"I wouldn't... if you left the toilet seat down..." She said.
I rolled my eyes at them. "Mom, dad loves you. He just didn't want to tell you. That was what we were talking about a second ago."
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" Charlie barked. Renee's jaw dropped, which made me think she believed me. But I wasn't going to tell her that I was joking.
"I'm going back to the kitchen." Renée said, and hurriedly walked out.
"What was that?" Charlie asked.
"Don't leave the toilet seat up again. If you do, I'll keep telling mom a lot of things you've never said." I said and smiled. I was evil.
"Now that you know part of the history of the Supernatural, you need to know the Swan's history. When I told you to look up Jane Meredith Swan, it was because she was the first woman to become a vampire hunter. This lead to many generations of Vampire Hunters." He explained. "It wasn't supposed to be in our blood, it was supposed to go to another family, however, the other family that was supposed to continue the line of vampire hunters had died off in a fatal accident. We ended up with the hunters blood. Something no body knew about Jane was that she had a child, a boy. Alexander Swan, which then lead to us.
The only thing different about back then and now, was that your mother isn't a vampire hunter. She was a mortal, and I fell in love with her. Usually, vampire hunters date on another, but I didn't care. The only thing bad about it, is that she's in danger no matter what. I had to learn, with the time of her being there, how to make sure she was safe. When your mother left, I thought it would be best. Also, you weren't supposed to become a vampire hunter, well, that's what I thought. It was never my intention for you to become like me. You were supposed to be mortal, and live your life, but it happened. I don't know how or why, but it did.
And now, I have to teach you how to live in paranoia, how to live with and without fear, and how to survive. It isn't easy. It's difficult. You can't take this life back, Bella. That's what you need to know, once it starts, it stays."
I nodded, wondering how my life was going to be now about my life. Was I looking forward to this? Not by the slightest. Charlie was afraid for Renée, and then I was born, with put more pressure on him. What if I have a family one day? Will I be able to live and handle it?
"Dinner's ready." Renée said.
Charlie and I stood up to eat dinner. It was simple, since Renée was simple. We just had chicken and rice, but while I was eating, I couldn't stop thinking about what Charlie said. Now it was my turn to keep the generation going.
"Was grandpa a vampire hunter?" I blurted out, without remembering that Renée was at the table.
Her eyes were wide, filled with concern and confusion. "You don't really believe in that nonsense, do you?"
"No. It was a movie that dad and I were talking about. I was just stuck on the movie." I lied.
"OH." She said. Her concern was gone and she relaxed. Charlie stared at me, which almost made me laugh.
"No, the grandpa was not a vampire hunter. But the grandmother was." He said. My grandmother was a vampire hunter.
"Really?" I asked. "That's interesting." I would have to talk to her soon, I want to hear stories.
"What movie is this anyways?" Renée asked.
"Umm... I forgot the title. What was it again Bella?" Charlie said, setting me up for disaster. But it was my fault, I did just ask about my family out loud...
"Umm... Oh... Uh... Blue Sky, Dark Sky." I said, then had Charlie start laughing at me. I rolled my eyes. Nice Bella... Blue Sky, Dark Sky... Idiot...
"Interesting..." Renée said. "What is so funny Charlie?" Man, Renée was clueless... I groaned and stood up from the table.
I washed all the dishes for the night, while Renée and Charlie were in the living room talking about who-knows-what.
When I walked into the living room, Renée was putting on her jacket. "I'm going to the store real quick. Just gonna grab some things." I nodded.
Once Renée left, not soon after, the doorbell rang. It was the presence of a vampire... Vampire...
Charlie and I looked at each other, he felt it too. Maybe it was a vampire hunter thing.
"Stay here." He whispered. He walked towards the door, but I didn't want to stay. So I went with him.
He saw me before he opened the door, and frowned. But I smiled.
Once we opened the door, it was Edward and Alice.
"You have a lot of guts coming here at this time of hour." Charlie said.
"We came to apologize..." Edward said.
"Even though Carlisle told us to stay away from you..." Alice mumbled. Edward tapped her shoulder.
"Where is Carlisle at the moment?" Charlie asked.
"He's in Italy. Looking up some past stories." Edward said.
"About what?" I asked.
"Just some history on vampires. He's looking deeper for some evolution about us."
"Oh." I said.
"You're lying." Charlie said, without any hesitation. I only looked at him, unable to say something. "What's he really up to? And don't lie to me next time. I'm a very skilled hunter."
Edward sighed, and Alice rolled her eyes, mumbling something about 'should have seen that coming'. "He's in Italy because the Denali's, the other vampire coven, is afraid and he doesn't know a lot about vampire hunters, so he went to go look up some information on hunters. Things have changed over the 400 years he's been a vampire. We want information about hunters, mostly the Swans."
Damn... They had history books about us in Italy? We're we that deadly?
"That's unnecessary, really." Charlie said.
"It's a precautionary thing. Mostly the Denali's know nothing about you guys." Alice said.
"Was that the blonde that tried to attack me?" I asked, not knowing that Charlie would blow up.
"Excuse me?" Charlie asked. "You better tell your friends to watch what their doing. The next time they step on this land, I will kill them... without hesitation. Understand? But tell Irina, the one that probably tried to attack her, that I'm watching her. That she needs to be the one afraid. The next time I see her anywhere, I will do something to her that will start a war. And give her that warning."
My jaw dropped. He wasn't playing...
Again, so sorry for the super duper late update. I truly apologize. It's back up, and I'll try and post real soon. If you have any questions or you're confused, please talk to me. I'm here :D
Review! The review has been lacking a lot lately... it's very disappointing. Makes me want to cry...
Review!
Oh, and I will give you guys a sneak peek since I kept you guys waiting.
Next time on a New Life:
"Dad, you really have to stop making me feel so small. I'm can handle this." I said. "I will not be in danger. You've taught me well."
"Bella, you are too young to handle this. I'm going alone." He said.
...
"Daddy, don't." I said, pulling his arm.
"I told you the next time I see her, I would kill her!" Charlie said, staring into the eyes of Irina. There was no way that she would be able to bypass this situation.
