Summary: Bella finds out she's a dark witch after her adopted father died a week after the Cullen's left town, so Bella decides to sell the house and move away to start fresh. (Bella/Dwayne)

Chapter 1: Fresh Start

After her adopted father had been murdered in front of her by a blood-thirsty vampire by the name of Victoria, Isabella had been so consumed with rage that the binding on her powers was destroyed. In a fit of rage, her powers had broken free and enveloped Victoria in a sea of flames. She was dead before she knew what had happened. Thankfully, the flames hadn't destroyed her house, so she discovered that her father had bound her powers and erased her memories of ever having powers when she started using them for revenge when she was bullied. Well, she quickly stopped mourning her father. She hated that he had taken away a part of who she was.

After receiving her father's life insurance and his pension from years on the police force, Isabella was a very wealthy woman. Even more so after her mother and Phil were killed in a plane crash, seeing as Phil had been a major league baseball player, while her mother had owned worldwide fashion bouquets. Isabella was set for life. She had also sold her mother's and Phil's houses in Florida and Phoenix, along with their cars. Isabella hadn't been all that close to them, but they were still her family.

As she gained control of her powers, Isabella was struck with information. As it turns out, Alice and Edward had known about her powers from her father, and they worked together to enthrall her to keep her in their control. They quickly lost interest when she refused to give up control, even under their thrall. Isabella wasn't a controllable person. They did all they could to keep her from finding out about the other breed of vampires, but she has known about them for years, seeing as she was related to one. Max Lawrence.

After finding out what Edward and Alice tried to do, Isabella cast a bad luck spell on them, and a truth spell, so now they were making enemies left, right, and center. Isabella also destroyed their belongings and hacked into their finances and bled them dry. They were now the bottom feeders of the vampire world. She made sure that they knew who was doing it also. She also destroyed the victuals that they left at the Fork's house. Edward no longer had his baby grand piano, and all of his belongings were consumed in flames.

Alice, on the other hand, her fashion was what Isabella targeted. She now had nothing, including her vintage clothing from different eras. They had been donated to shelters and charities.

Isabella would have targeted all the Cullen's, but she discovered that Edward's gift wasn't just mind-reading, he also could control minds. While Carlisle is the true leader of the Coven, Edward was the one calling the shots. She had plans to help them, but first, Isabella was going to get her life together.

Anyway, Isabella has been in contact with Max since she was fifteen. Max was her biological father. Not many people knew that male vampires could sire children. Isabella was the product of a one-night stand. Not wanting to keep Charlie's name after years of lying to her, Isabella changed her name to Isabella Maxine Lawrence. She hadn't wanted to keep her grandmother's name either, seeing as she had mentally abused Isabella her whole life before she had caused Marie to have a heart attack. That had been her last act of revenge before her powers had been bound, along with her memory having been erased.

Needing to get away from all the bad memories, Isabella moved away to Santa Carla, California for a fresh start. She had decided to move to Santa Carla because she knew her father lived there, and she wanted to be closer to him after years apart. On her first day there, Isabella arrived in her brand-new red 1994 mustang convertible, she purchased a large Victorian mansion in a secluded spot behind the cliffs. There was a reason why she never dated or had any friends, Isabella was never a people person, as she liked her peace and solitude. Aside from that, she knew she did not belong in the human world. She knew her true mate was a vampire, and she was hoping it wasn't a cold one. They sparkled. True vampires do not sparkle.

Anyway, her new home was on 900 acres of nature's finest. To be exact, 18,280 square feet of plans, but it was her dream come true. The house was amazing and Isabella knew she would not live in any other house. The property itself cost well over $500,000 Mil, but that wasn't a problem with what she had inherited and from what she had stolen from Malice and Fuckward. The property was 60,280 square feet, it was big and beautiful, and it was perfect.

The house had seven full ensuites, with three smaller bedrooms, three guest bathrooms, a library, a home entertainment room, a billiards rooms, six offices, a weapons room, a safe room that could fit until to ten people comfortably, an underground garage, a family room, a huge kitchen that was every chef's dream, a basement home gym, with an in-ground swimming pool, a complete patio with an outdoor kitchen and grill, and last but not least, a hot tub, swimming pool, and a big yard. It was an amazing house.

After she had purchased the house, she looked up what the security system was, and she was very disappointed. It was basic, well that wasn't going to work. Isabella decided to get the best security there was, and it was now running all over the property and perimeter wall. On the highest setting, which it would remain at, nothing could get within a hundred feet of the wall without the alarm sounding. The house can be locked down tighter than Fort Knox. The security also had heat and facial recognition identification, so Isabella would know who was at the gate before she pressed the intercom button or looked at the video camera.

The perimeter of the house was soundproof. If any of the outside doors or windows are open, that rule doesn't apply. When they're closed, anything said inside the house can't be heard outside, the alarm wouldn't be heard if the doors and windows are closed. The windows were unbreakable, so if ever the house is being shot at, nothing would happen. The house can be locked down to where the windows and doors are covered by thick sheets of titanium. One button is all that it will take for any TV in the house to let her know where and what made the alarm go off. Now, with the safe room, there were two entrances. When they have locked them from the inside, the titanium plates came down to lock down the windows and doors on the inside, they were all made from triple-thick shatterproof glass, as well as how the security panel in the safe room made all the others useless when someone was locked up tight in there.

Isabella will have the security codes until she can give her father the information, so he can come and go as he, pleased. The lockdown code was the year her mother gave birth to her, and the all-clear code was the date and time Isabella found out about Max. The thing was, if someone tried to enter the property without the passcodes, the perimeter wall and fence will electrocute the person attempting it.

Not wanting to stay at a hotel before she furnished the house, Isabella went shopping for everything she would need and had everything shipped to the house. After she was finished shopping, it was eight o'clock at night. She magically placed everything in its place and left for the boardwalk, not knowing that she was about to meet her mate.

Chapter 2: Meeting of Mates

When Isabella got off of her bike, she got more than a few looks. She was hot, and she knew it, but they were looking at her outfit. She was in black leather pants, a white tank top, a suede jacket, and heels. The outfit left little to the imagination, as it hugged her curves in all the right places. A few years ago, Isabella hadn't thought that much of her looks, but now, she enjoyed the looks she gets as long as it never led to anything bad. She didn't want anyone thinking that they had an open invitation. It has happened, once with a group of guys but Fuckward had saved her in time, and again with Jacob. He thought that just because the Cullen's were gone he could do whatever he wanted, well he learned the hard.

Isabella beat the hell out of him. Broken arm, broken eye socket, and a few bruised ribs. Isabella knew how to defend herself, hell she may have come to hate Charlie, but he had made sure she knew how to defend herself. Anyway, after Isabella was done with him, the pack took turns beating him up also. Hell, his sisters wanted nothing to do with him since he forced himself on Isabella.

She sensed someone watching her, looking up, she saw two eighties reject kids. They were nowhere near men. They may be well into their thirties, but that didn't make someone grow up.

"Is there a reason you are staring at me?" she asked, not knowing that her eyes flashed with barely concealed rage. Isabella had a short temper.

"Here," they said, thrusting a comic into her hands. Flicking through it, she saw that it was a vampire comic, and she smirked.

"No, thanks," she said as she flicked her lighter and burned it before walking away, not knowing that there were four guys and a child watching her.

Later that night, Isabella was at the concert dancing and having a good time before she had enough of the crowd and walked back towards the shops. She noticed a kid on his own, and before she could do anything, a gang of surfers surrounded him. She heard a slap and a small whimper and growl before she moved. No one beat little kids.

Coming up behind the guys, she spun the ringleader around and punched him so hard teeth flew out of his mouth and kicked him in the junk hard enough that she could see blood coming through his shorts. Turning towards the other guys, she didn't see any people or cameras, so she gripped one of the guy's heads, and twisted until it broke, she turned towards the last two guys, flicked her switchblade out, and slit their throats, leaving them to bleed out.

"Are you okay?" she asked kneeling down in front of the kid tilting his head to the side to look at the bruise and noticing his split lip that seemed to be healing, noticing that he had his eyes closed, and he seemed to be holding his breath.

"Sweetie, open your eyes," she said, knowing that he was a half-vampire child. She wanted to know where his pack was. "What's your name, honey?" she asked as he wrapped little arms around her neck in a hug.

"Laddie. Thank you for helping me," he said before pulling away.

"Hello, Laddie. My name is Isabella, but you can call me Izzy. Now, where is your pack?" she asked, and she could tell she shocked him.

"How?" he asked, making her pull up her jacket sleeve showing him a bite mark on her wrist. She was bitten by a cold one, he thought, stunned.

"Can I tell you a secret?" she asked, making him bob his little head in agreement. "I am a witch, and I am a hybrid. My father is a vampire," she said, smiling as his eyes widened in amazement.

"My dad and uncles are hunting. They told me to wait by their bikes, but I got hungry," he said, almost making her heart melt. He was such a cute kid.

"Well, let's get you something to eat. What would you like?" she asked, standing up and taking his hand.

"Pizza and ice cream," he said, making her laugh.

"You got it," she said finding a pizza vendor and ordering four pizzas since she didn't know if his pack would be showing up. "Try this," she said, handing him some orange juice.

"What's in this?" he asked before drinking it down, making yummy noises.

"Orange juice, sprite, and tiger's blood," she said, not knowing that Laddie's family was standing behind them. They had been flying back when they saw this woman killing four surf Nazis for harming Laddie. They watched them as Laddie got answers out of her, and they were stunned. This deadly woman was a powerful witch and a hybrid. They knew none of them fathered children, so that meant Max was her father.

"Laddie," they heard behind them making Izzy and Laddie jump, before making them look, and saw the guys.

"Is this your family, honey?" she asked, not wanting to leave him unless she knew he was safe.

"Yes," he said before running towards his father, as Dwayne pick him up, holding him close. His son seemed to make it a habit to run off and scare everyone to death.

"Thank you for helping him," Dwayne said towards the beautiful woman. When she smiled, his breath caught in his throat as he and the guys sat down next to her, and when his hand brushed against her, Dwayne knew that she was his mate when he felt that electrical current pass through them. He knew Izzy had felt it too, as she stared at their hands in shock and started rubbing her chest above her heart.

"Where did you learn to fight like that?" David asked when he felt Dwayne's connection to this girl.

"My adoptive father was a police chief. He taught me everything I needed to know," she said, and they could see that Izzy held no love in her heart for him.

They got to know each other well into the night, but Izzy was getting tired and needed to get home.

"It was nice meeting you guys, but I need to get home," she said, standing and hugging Laddie before she left.

"She is definitely supposed to be part of this family," Paul said, Izzy sped away on her bike. It was a sweet ride. It was a blue 1980 XLH-Harley Davidson Sportster.

They all agreed before they went to see Max.
