Longer Summary:
Bella expected to be murdered by Victoria but instead she is transported to a parallel universe, where Vampires are no longer the top of the food chain and the Shapeshifters have all of the power. Where loyalties are everything in this new world, Bella must decide whether to risk her life, and save those trapped in this dark world or find a way back home and save herself. This alternate universe shows the evil incarnations of Bella (Bells), Jacob (Jake) and the rest of the pack. Bells is a cunning yet (sometimes) ditzy girl dating Jake Black, who may just be the devil reincarnated.
He said that I wasn't enough.
It was raining and I was crying.
Edward told me that he was never coming back. He told me that he didn't love me anymore.
I was just a distraction.
Was every time we kissed just a distraction? Was every touch and every interaction just a distraction?
My heart says otherwise. My body craves to feel his hands, to hear his velvety voice. I never thought that I would find someone more perfect than Edward.
He was my everything and now he's gone.
Charlie always said that trees attracted lighting, and here I was stranded in the middle of woods. Perhaps a tree will fall and crush me. That'll take me right out of my misery.
I didn't blame Jasper. Yes, he tried to kill me but it was my fault. Of course I got a fucking paper cut right when I was surrounded by seven blood thirsty vampires. I understood the consequences when I told Edward that I loved him. I understood the consequences when I promised myself to him forever and always.
He could crush my skull with the simple touch of his hand. He could suck my blood dry and kill me within a matter of seconds. But I didn't care. None of that mattered because I loved him and he loved me.
It was in their nature. Drinking blood is what kept them alive so of course I didn't blame Jasper. But Edward did. He blamed me for getting that fucking paper and almost killing myself. They were finally comfortable in Forks and I ruined it all. I forced them to leave because they couldn't be around me.
I was the dangerous one.
I collapse to the ground, screaming up at the sky, wondering if this was god's plan all long? For once in my life, I'm finally happy and then it's taken all away. Now I've been abandoned in the forest where I'm probably going to die.
Fuck Edward Cullen.
I wasn't even supposed to die! Edward promised that we would be together forever. I was going to become a vampire. We would never be apart.
But he lied.
None of it was ever true.
He lied about everything. Our whole relationship was a lie.
James was right when he said that I was nothing more than a pet. Was I just some object for their amusement?
No. I refused to believe that.
Alice cared. I could see it in her eyes. She and Esme cared about me. Esme loved me like a daughter. She was my second mother. Alice was my sister.
They cared.
Edward said that the others hadn't wanted to see me and that Jasper was furious. They left right away, not even giving me a chance to say goodbye.
My teeth chattered together and I huddled up in a ball on the ground. The rain had soaked through my clothes, making them transparent. I was going to freeze to death. No one was going to find me.
"Someone help me." I whimpered to the darkness. "Please…"
The wind howled around me as cracks of lightning lit up the sky. I felt this overwhelming feeling of dread wash over my body. I never liked the dark and ever since James… I was terrified. You didn't know what was out there. You didn't know who was watching. Anybody could be out there and here I was vulnerable to it all.
I wish that I could go back in time where the only monsters came from story books. I wished my mom could scare away the monsters under my bed. I wish the only thing protecting me from monsters was my father.
Nobody could protect me now. Vampires were real. Werewolves were real. Humans were no longer and never had been at the top of the food chain. We were at the bottom where we would stay forever.
I tried to stand up. I propped myself up with my elbow, attempting to get to my feet, but I was too weak. I fell back to the ground and let out a sob. I couldn't feel my fingers, they had gone numb.
I was going to die.
I stayed awake as long as I can but it became too much. I was so tired, I just wanted to sleep. Carlisle told me never to close my eyes if I was hurt. Your mind tricks you into thinking you are safe, but if you close your eyes, you may not wake up. I knew that I shouldn't do this. I could hear him in my mind, screaming at me to stay awake. I was done fighting. I was so… tired.
And then out of from the darkness appeared a woman- no- an angel. Perhaps I was already dead. This angel was taking me to heaven. She moved closer, almost gliding, and knelt down beside me. Her hair was a vibrant red, matching her blood red eyes.
This was no angel.
"We meet again."
Victoria.
A tiny smile danced upon her lips that sent chills down my spine. I knew who she was and she knew that I knew who she was.
She was going to kill me.
"I'm not going to kill you." she read my mind. "I'm sending you to a far greater hell. One you may never escape."
I couldn't speak, I was paralyzed by the fear. I begged with my eyes, pleading with her not to do this. Her laugh sounded like bells and I began to scream. Her teeth cut through my skin and ever so slowly, the light left my eyes.
"A mate for a mate." is the last thing I heard before everything went black.
"Bells," a voice called. I was floating in an empty darkness. I was all alone before the devil appeared. My body felt numb and detached. I felt gone, cold. Now, I wasn't alone. Somebody was with me and I felt… warm. I wanted the feeling to stay. I wanted to feel this way forever.
"Bells?" the voice called again in a more playful manner. My eyes felt heavy and all the energy had been drained from my body. I was laying on a soft, lumpy surface. It was even more comfortable than my bed.
"Wake up, Bells." his hot breathe tickled my ear.
This… man… wasn't Edward… and who the hell is, Bells?
I feel his lips move softly along my collarbone to my neck to my… lips.
This wasn't Edward.
I gasp as his tongue entered my mouth and suddenly alarmed, my eyes flutter open. I flinch away from him, pushing hard against his bare chest. With wide eyes I stare at the man- wait no- boy in front of me.
Jacob.
He's shirtless… and so am I.
We're in bed.
We're both naked.
It's fucking eight o' clock in the morning. The sun is shining into the room and a midnight blue dress is crumpled on the ground. Jacob's looking at me, confused. I grab the blankets, hastily covering my breasts and stare at him in horror.
What the hell was going on?
"What's wrong, bunny?" he reaches out to cup my face but I hit his hand away.
Something wasn't right.
My heart races against my chest as ragged breathes escape my mouth. I'm going to be sick.
"Did you have a nightmare?" he sighed. "I told you that we shouldn't have watched that movie last night. I knew you would be scared."
Movie? Last night?
"Wha'…" none of this was making sense. I was laying in bed naked with my best friend. The last I recall it was the middle the night and pouring out. I was stranded in the woods and on the brink of death.
"Get out." I finally found my voice. I start to tremble and stare at him in utter shock. "Get the fuck out!"
"What did I do now?" he looks genuinely lost. He runs his hand through his tousled black hair and tries to kiss me again. This time I stumble out of the bed, dragging the blanket with me.
"Get out!" I try to keep my voice calm but was teetering on the edge.
Was I hallucinating?
"Bells, what the fuck!" he holds his hands up in defence. He gets out of bed with his… junk… on full display. I gasp and quickly shield my eyes. I was as pure as they come.
"Now!" I let out a frustrated cry.
"Alright, Jesus woman." he mutters. There's a lot of movement and shuffling and he finally says, "you can open your eyes, bunny. I'm decent."
I peak through the cracks of my fingers to see he's put on shorts. I clench my jaw and move away from him as he comes around the bed. He stares at me as if I've grown two heads and walks to the door.
"Come find me once you've calmed down from whatever… is going on." he slowly says. "I'll be in the kitchen."
Jacob walks out of the room, closing the door shut behind him.
Bunny? Bells?
That's me. I'm Bells. The name left a poor taste in my mouth. I look around the room seeing everything looked the same as usual. The walls were a plain white and his king sized bed with black blankets were situated in the middle of the room. His brown bureau was pushed against the right side of the wall beneath the window and next to the closet. A bookcase sat on the opposite side of the room across from the door. My toes curled up in the grey rug as my mind raced with questions.
I bend down, keeping the blanket wrapped around my body, and pick up the dress. My mouth drops open when I hold it out in front of me. It looked to be at least three sizes too small on me and went barely past my butt. A long slit went down the middle, obviously meant to show off my breasts.
No way in hell was I putting this monstrosity of an outfit on! Not even Alice would approve… and that's saying a lot!
I toss the dress across the room and sit back down on the edge of the bed, almost crying. I bit my bottom lip, trying to think of what to do.
I couldn't walk out there naked!
Distressed, I look around the room, hoping to find, something when I notice a lacy blue bra and underwear peaking out from under the nightstand, next to the bed. I pick them up, dusting them off. They were provocative just like the dress.
It was better than nothing.
With reluctance, I slip on the underwear and bra, feeling even more uncomfortable. I keep the blanket wrapped over my shoulders so I wouldn't be so… bare and walk over to the closet. A mirror hangs on the inside and I let out a startled gasp.
I was hallucinating. This was a dream. Wake up, Bella!
I was a skinny plain looking girl. There was nothing special about me. I didn't draw anyone's attention.
But this girl I was staring at… was beautiful. Almost as beautiful as Rosalie. She had curves in all the right places and large but not to big breasts. Her lips were pink and full giving a nice contrast to her rosy cheeks and milky white skin. There was a shimmer in her usually dull brown eyes, and her mahogany hair was thick and luscious, flowing down her back, almost to her hips in waves.
I was the girl in the mirror. It was me. Except… it wasn't me. I wasn't this pretty. I could never be this pretty.
I shut the door, unable to stare at myself any longer. Next to me, I pick up a picture off of the bureau and upon closer inspection, a strangled cry escapes my lips.
It's me and Jacob. We're kissing, his tan arms are wrapped around my waist and I'm pressed against his body. There's a field of flowers in the background.
The meadow- Edward's meadow- our meadow!
We're in love! The picture screams.
Why haven't I woken up yet?
This isn't a dream.
I refuse to believe that.
Then why did you wake up stark naked in bed with Jacob fucking Black?
I look at the clock realizing it's been twenty minutes. He's going to come back if I don't hurry up.
He won't care if I wear his clothes, right?
You're dating, aren't you?
I guess we are.
I open the drawer, not caring what there is, and pull out an extra large t-shirt and sweatpants. I slip them on and again, open the closet the door, staring at myself in the mirror.
At least I looked less like a stripper.
Wherever I was… whoever I am… I needed to figure out soon. It was blatantly clear that I wasn't home anymore. The last thing I remember was… Victoria. Her voice haunts my mind. She wasn't going to kill me.
"I'm sending you to a far greater hell. One you may never escape."
I wasn't dead but I wasn't where I was before. She did something to me. She sent me some place.
"I'm sending you to a far greater hell."
Jacob and I were obviously dating.
I looked… different.
It was morning.
There was no evidence of the night before. It's like everything had just disappeared.
Victoria swore revenge when we killed James. We knew that she had a powerful gift. When Laurent warned us about James and Victoria, he said that she had a gift… a dangerous gift far more deadly than others.
"She can send you places." his voice was low. "Far away places that will haunt your mind. They can be your worst nightmare. You only comeback when she decides and sometimes… sometimes you're better off dying."
"What are you talking about?" Edward pulled me closer. "What is her gift?"
A haunted look flashed across his face. "Our world is not the only world out there." he gulps. "You think you're dreaming but you slowly start to lose yourself and all time blends together. You lose all sense of reality."
"What-"
"I can't say anymore." he growls. "I have to go!"
"Wait!" Carlisle yells but he's already gone.
"What was that?" Rosalie breathes.
"A parallel universe." Alice breaks the tense silence. Everyone turns to her, taken aback, unsure what to believe.
"Impossible!" argued Edward.
"At one point in time we thought werewolves and vampires were just a myth, a fairytale. Take a look at us now."
"Oh my god." I cover my mouth with a shaking hand. Tears pour from my eyes and down my cheeks and I lean against the wall, suddenly light headed.
I was a long way from home.
