Chapter 21: Riot

Bella POV:

My new neighbors, are very to themselves. I still don't care enough to go and introduce myself, they aren't either, so what's the point? They moved in 4 days ago, having neighbors doesn't stop me from going about my business, by no means. I still do everything I would normally do. I looked at the clock and it said, 7:38, which means the sunset is in 7 minutes. I went out the door, and ran to the meadow close by, to watch the sunset.

When I got to the meadow, I sat down on the big boulder I put dead center in the middle. It was very easy to move it, with the new powers I have gathered over the years. I now am telekinetic, I can control the elements, and I can find anyone in the world. Hmm I wonder what the Cullens are doing? I thought to myself. Then I heard a twig snap, in the woods, "Hello?" I called out. No response, but another twig snapped. "I know you're there," I said. I was looking in the direction I heard the twig snap, whoever it was, was hiding behind a tree. "I can hear you," I said, dumbly. "Well, I guess you got me." A man said. Wait, I know that voice. I thought to myself, as I got off the rock. I couldn't believe it, "Ryan?" I whispered. His expressions were confusion, shock, and then pain. "Bella?" He asked as he started to walk forward. "Hey." I said as I closed the distance between us. "Bella," he said, relieved, and hugged me so tight, if I wasn't immortal I would have died. "I've missed you," he whispered. "I have missed you so much, you have no idea." I said as I hugged him equally tight. "Trust me, Bells, I do."

"Lets go to my house. We have so much to catch up on." Ryan said as we walked through the woods. "Okay, lead the way." I said. He smiled and then ran, I followed him. Then he stopped at an all too familiar house, "wait, you live here?" I asked as we walked up the driveway. "Yeah, why?" He asked.

"Because, I live there." I said while pointing to the only neighboring house. He looked surprised, "no way?" he asked. "Yeah, I have lived there for 10 years." I explained. "Wow, what a riot." Ryan said as we reached the front door. Ryan grabbed my hand, "Are you ready Bells?" I looked at him, with a little smile, "as ready as I will ever be." I said while laughing about the first time he said that to me. We walked in, "Hey everybody, there is someone I want you to meet." Ryan yelled. Wait, do you live the Cullens? I asked him in his head, Yeah, what else was I supposed to do. He said back with a shrug.

When I looked into the house, everyone was filing in. I was behind Ryan, so none of them saw me. As I was watching them, they all looked really sad, and the emotions coming off of them, shit. I saw Alice slowly walking down the stairs, she didn't have the jump in her step that she always had, I saw her face and I couldn't hold it anymore. Ryan caught my drift, because he stepped aside, "Everyone this is-" he began, "BELLA!" Alice yelled, as she came crashing into me with a hug. She held me for a good 10 minutes, then let go and looked me over, "hold on, why are your eyes brown?" she asked confused. I had totally forgotten about that, "Contacts. Every time I looked at the blue ones, it pissed me off." I replied. Every one took turns hugging me, except Edward, where is he? I thought to my self. "Bella! Where have you been?" Emmett asked, "Next door." I said. "Huh?" He asked with a confuse look, "yeah, I have lived next door for the last decade." I said with a laugh. "Whoa." We all sat down in the living room. "Any new powers?" Emmett blurted out. Every one laughed at his eagerness. "Yes, Emmet I have new ones. I am telekinetic, I can control the elements, and I can find anyone in the world, mythical or not." I told them.

Emmett said, "Use one of your new powers, please?" he asked with a pout. "Okay," I said. Then I lifted Emmett off the couch, and he was now hovering above us. I put him back on the couch. "That was so cool," he said as a smile spread across his face. "Bella?" Carlisle asked, and I read his mind. "Yeah, I know. I will tell you." I said. I told them all what happened when I talked to the Volturi 25 years ago. After I told them all of their moves formed a perfect 'o'. "That's amazing." Carlisle said. "So you're telling us that you are the most powerful vampire? Even more powerful then the Volturi?" Jasper asked. "Yeah, pretty much. Think about it, why else would they want me dead?" I asked. Jasper thought about it, and then said, "yeah, that makes sense."

"Bella, why did you take Masen as your last name?" Alice asked all of a sudden. "What?" I asked, surprised I didn't see this coming. "When you were turned, why Masen?" she asked again, everyone in the room turned to look at me, Because I am in love with Edward, "Because, there was a memorial at Forks High, that says 'In the Loving memory of Isabella Swan' and if I had the same name as someone who supposedly died a century ago I think that would raise some questions. I was going to do Cullen, but because Carlisle is like famous doctor at Forks General, I didn't want the attention. I don't know, it was last minute and that was the only name I could think of." I explained. "I see," Alice said. Alice, what are you up to? I asked her. What makes you think I am up to something? She asked back, because you are Alice, and are always up to something. She didn't say anything back. "Edward should be home in a few minutes." Esme said, "Oh, no it's okay. I think I will head home. Thanks anyway. I will come by again, real soon." I said as I walked to the door. "'Bye Bells, see you later." Ryan said. "Yeah, okay. Goodbye." I said, and teleported home. I mean what the hell do you say to the love of your existence after, like, a century of not talking to him.

When I got home, I went up stairs to my room, laid on my bed with my old and beaten copy of Wuthering Heights. I put my headphones in and listened to my lullaby, remembering the days when he still loved me. I was at my favorite part when I heard a thud, "Edward, what are you doing here?" I asked him. "Remembering old times I guess." He said with a little chuckle. I knew exactly what he was talking about, I laughed, "Yeah, but there are only a few differences," He came over to me and sat on the bed with me, he looked at me, "like what?" he asked. "Well, lets see. I'm not human, Charlie isn't down the hall, I'm not human, you don't love me, oh and did I already mention me not being human?" I said, glaring at him. "there is a similarity though." He began, "and what might that be?" I pestered. He pointed to my book, "still reading the same book," he said with a smile. Then all of a sudden he stopped smiling, and looked at me, "what makes you think I don't love you?" he asked all serious. Does he really not know? I thought to myself. "Let me think…this sentence and I quote, 'I don't love you anymore, Bella', well imagine that." I mimicked his voice perfectly like when he said it. His expression was pained, his emotions were all over the place, as well; love, guilt, pain, then love again. "You don't understand," "I don't understand what Edward? How you left me, after you promised you would always be there? Yeah, I definitely don't understand." I said angrily. I still love him, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that he left me. "I thought it was the only way to keep you human." He yelled back. "Human, Edward? Really? That's the best you could come up with. You're gonna have to do better." I scoffed.

"C'mon, Bella. How can you believe, that after all the times I professed my love for you, you could so easily believe that I didn't. I lied, Bella, vampires are good liars. I saw it in your eyes, you honestly believed me. As if there was a way I could exist with needing you." He explain, okay now I really don't understand, "what?" I asked him. "You are the most stubborn vampire I know. I am here, I love you, I have always loved you, I will always love you." He said half yelled. He started walking towards me, "leave," I whispered. I needed time to process everything. He didn't stop. "I said leave." I said a little louder. Edward was now standing within inches of me. "I'm not going anywhere. Never again." He whispered and smiled the crooked smile. Before I could do anything, he pushed me toward him, of course my body melted to his. He kissed me, the only emotion coming off of him was love. Stupid power.

I didn't fight him off, because I…I didn't want to.
