Twilight Laurent AU

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I own nothing and what if when Laurent finds Bella in the woods he already knows the Cullens are gone and not coming back? He's just there to scope things out for Victoria as a last favor, but seeing the almost completely broken human girl… it reminded him of a little sister he had as a human… now he adopts her and takes her back to Denali. AU OOC some femslash some bashing)

"Bella." Laurent said softly, attracting the girls attention and watching as she put on a mask to hide how broken she had looked a mere second ago.

"Laurent. How's Alaska?" Bella asked looking at him blankly and causing his undead heart to ache a little. He had seen her stumbling lost through the woods and how broken and frail she had seemed a moment ago before making his presence known but now here she was looking so blank and masked…so doll like almost…

"It's good. I'm beginning to adjust to the new animal diet but sometimes I cheat using a criminal that I find in the bigger cities. I've even found my mate." Laurent said smiling gently at the girl who gave him a small smile in return.

"I don't like innocents being preyed upon… but if it's a criminal that deserves it then I can only thank you for making the world just a bit safer for humans…I'm happy to hear you've found your mate. I wish you all the happiness in the world Laurent." Bella said causing Laurent's eyes to widen slightly in shock and surprise. He honestly thought she'd be disgusted with him for preying upon humans, criminals or not, and her words about being happy for him. They were so genuine… and they reminded him so much of the last moments he shared with his sister before he was turned.

'I know you didn't ask to be married off to a woman in another village but… promise me you'll be safe and won't forget me?' A brown haired green eyed girl of about ten asked staring up at her twenty year old brother who smiled and kneeled down to pat her on the head.

'I'd never forget you Snug Bug. You're my baby sister and I'll always love you. If you ever need me then just send a messenger for me. I'll come as soon as I'm able.' Laurent said smiling and earning a sad nod from the girl before she smiled slightly and kissed his cheek.

'I love you to Lar and I wish you all the happiness in the world.'

The memory only took a few seconds but for Laurent he felt as if it took minutes before he came back to himself and gave a soft smile.

"Thank you Bella. It means a lot that even after what I did you'd still wish me happiness." Laurent said smiling gently at the girl who didn't even wince at the memory of his old coven as she smiled back at him.

"I'm not one to hold grudges against those who don't deserve it, and you certainly don't deserve any grudge. Besides everyone deserves happiness and to find someone to love and who will love them unconditionally." Bella said softly making Laurent smile wider as he sat down in front of her, surprised and pleased when she didn't even flinch.

"You are a rare soul Bella, and I'm glad to have met you. And no worries Irina and I love each other so much that it hurts sometimes, and I'd never do anything that would risk hurting her." Laurent said before looking confused as he took in the girls thin and frail appearance. It was as if she had forgotten to eat many times recently, which was strange…he'd have thought that the Cullen clan made sure she was taken care of before they left.

"Where have the Cullens gone do you know? I ran by their house to thank them for sending me to my Irina, but they weren't there and it seems they have not been there for at least two months by their scents." Laurent asked, that caused Bella to flinch and curl in on herself a bit which honestly alarmed and worried the former nomad. The memory of James and Victoria didn't get so much as a wince but asking about the Cullens nearly made the girl go into the fetal position!

"They're gone. They left me here. I…I was just a toy, a distraction, and…they didn't want me anymore so they left." Bella said softly, so quietly that if he weren't a vampire then Laurent wouldn't have heard her.

"Why would they do such a thing?! Victoria is still out there and most definitely planning on coming after you in revenge for James! Them leaving you here alone is basically a death sentence!" Laurent asked and said all this shocked and angry, surely the Cullen Clan knew that if one mate was killed then the surviving one would take revenge and then die as soon as possible didn't they?! Since Bella was the 'weak link' by being the only human then Victoria would certainly go after her instead of a coven of vampires!

"Maybe that's what they wanted… maybe that's what he wanted. Me to die after they broke me." Bella whispered quietly causing Laurent to scoot closer to her.

"Bella…can you tell me what all happened? I want to know what reason they could possibly think was good enough for them to all leave you here unprotected but only if you want to tell me." Laurent asked softly, reaching forward and placing a hand on Bella's shoulder in an act of comfort that actually seemed to help the human as she loosened up a little from her ball. Bella looked up at Laurent for a minute before nodding slowly.

"Alright… it started with a surprise party that I didn't want on my eighteenth birthday." Bella stopped when she heard several loud growls nearby as Laurent stood up alarmed, standing in front of Bella protectively as he glared as some large wolves that began to walk towards them. The smell of the air told him all that he needed to know about them, they weren't normal wolves. Crap! If he hadn't been so focused on Bella then he'd have heard or smelled them coming!

"Great Wolf Shifters." Laurent growled sarcastically barely loud enough for Bella to hear as he glared at the wolves before stepping backwards so that he could grab Bella and make a run for it at the most opportune moment.

"Do you mind if I carry you and we get somewhere safe before we finish this little heart to heart Bella Bug?" Laurent aimed not even noticing the nickname fall from his mouth while Bella looked at him surprised and confused but strangely not minding the nickname. Taking one long look at the growling and snarling wolves Bella thought about her options.

On one hand there was the La Push wolf shifters that hate her and looked really hungry and feral at the moment, on the other there was a former human drinking vampire who used to be friends with the woman trying to kill her… yeah she was probably screwed either way… might as well go out with a small amount of pizzazz. Bella made a snap decision and Laurent positively beamed at her answer and nickname as he grabbed her and used all of his speed to make a retreat, kicking up enough dirt and dust to blind the wolves slightly despite the fact that her answer shocked them silly.

"No I don't mind Lar. I'd rather not end up as a happy meal for a bunch of half feral liars and mutts from La Push."
