The Truth
Vampire diaries and Twilight crossover
She couldn't remember the last time she wanted to escape more than right now. She was getting tired of Edward always being so over protective. If only he knew her secret. She wanted to tell him but now she didn't see him as trustworthy or even worthy for that matter. And now he was pulling this stunt? Telling her that he wasn't in love with her anymore. She could read bullshit when she saw it.
She fakes sadness, "Edward, don't do this to me. I love you."
Isabella Swan was no fool, but apparently Edward was. She couldn't see why she was so attracted to him in the first place. She had to admit that she was fascinated by him being a cold one and not like most vampires. She had never come across vampires like the Cullen's before. It had been that fascination that had drawn her to him but the closer she got the more she realized how the rumors about them were true.
Edward looks sadly into her eyes, "I'm sorry, Bella. I just can't be with you anymore. I don't love you."
Bella lets a tear slip down her cheek, "That makes sense. How could you love me?"
Edward's frown deepens as if that statement hurt him. Inside Bella was laughing. How stupid does he think she was? He steps closer and kisses her forehead.
"Bye, Bella."
He speeds off. She could have easily followed him, but what would be the point? She had played the part of pathetic human long enough. It was time for her to go home. She needed to be around family.
The next morning she walks downstairs to find Charlie reading the newspaper. She stands at the bottom of the stairs and watches hi for just a second. She would miss him. He had been kind and loving. She only wished that he had been her real father instead of her compelled one. He looks up and smiles.
"Morning, Bells. I left the cereal out for you."
Bella laughs, "Thanks, Dad. But I am not hungry. I actually have to tell you something."
She sits across from him and looks deep into his eyes, compelling him, "You never knew me. I am not your daughter, if anyone asks I never existed."
Charlie nods and she walks out the door with her few belongings. She stands outside for a minute trying to stop the tears. She would miss Charlie and it hurt a little knowing that he wouldn't give her a second thought.
She arrives in Mystic Falls 3 hours later via plane and hops in the rental car that she had ordered. She kept trying to call her brother, but he seemed to be out of service. She rolls her eyes and drives up to the Mystic Grill. She orders a drink at the bar and looks around. She frowns when she sees someone who shouldn't be there. She watches closely. The girl wasn't acting like Katherine. She seemed more genuine. Something Katherine could never pull off. She listens to their conversation.
"Come on, Elena. We can't let one incident derail us from having a fun senior year."
Elena smiles, "Ok fine. But I still think we should be more careful."
Bella sighs with relief. She believed this girl was who everyone thought. She hears a familiar voice beside her.
"A bourbon, please."
She smiles slightly and walks closer to him.
"Bit early for a drink, don't ya think?"
Damon turns around, grinning, "Well, well if it isn't the beautiful Isabella. I have missed you."
She raises an eyebrow, "Oh, Damon. You have no right to miss me."
Damon pouts, "Don't be like that, Bella. What is in the past is the past. We could move on to the future. We can start by going between the sheets."
Bella laughs, "That line only works on someone you didn't screw over."
Damon smirks, "I really am sorry for the way we ended. You deserved better."
Bella shakes her head, "I'm over it. So tell me about the Petrova look-a-like."
Damon glances behind him towards Elena. She watches as his face changes and she smiles widely.
"You are in love with her. I can't decide if that is pathetic or just sad."
Damon grimaces, "Not like she feels the same way. She is currently dating my brother and stringing me along."
Bella shakes her head, "You two just love repeating history, don't you? If she can't see how great you are then she doesn't deserve you. I should know. There was a time that I fell for you."
Damon smiles slightly, "Well look who is being nice to me again."
She rolls her eyes, "Don't get used to it. Now information, please."
Damon sighs, "Fine. Her name is Elena Gilbert. She is the complete opposite of Katherine. And her doppelganger."
Bella frowns, "Please tell me Klaus doesn't know."
Damon shakes his head, "No such luck. He already broke the curse and has successfully made hybrids."
Bella stares, confused, "How is she still alive?"
Damon laughs, "Well the dark haired girl with her is Bonnie Bennet."
Bella rolls her eyes, "She is a witch."
Damon nods, "Bingo."
Bella frowns, "And he found out that he needed her blood to make hybrids."
Damon tilts his head to the side, "How long have you known?"
She gives him a stern look, "You remember why I was turned right?"
He smirks, "How could I forget? You are one of the smartest researchers of your time. You do love to hold that over everyone's head don't you?"
She laughs, "Well someone has to. So have you seen my brother?"
Damon frowns, "I avoid him as much as possible and considering what he has done, you can't blame me."
Bella sighs, "He does love to be hated. I don't even know why I have a soft spot for him."
