A/N:
I'm back and chapter 5 is finally here. Happy reading!
CHAPTER 5
BELLA POV
Now, you know that I am a Mikaelson, but what you don't know is that out of my whole family, I am the most powerful. You see, my brother and I are twins. So by default that means I carry the werewolf gene. Not only that, but I was also the only one of my siblings to ascertain the witch gene from Esther, my mother. Nobody knows this other than my siblings. It is much too dangerous of a secret to have out in the open.
It was now the next morning which meant that today was a school day. Although Edward was angry with me, I still expected him to pick me. That's what any chivalrous man would do. However, I waited as long as I could and there was still no sign of Edward. Fine! If that's how he wants to play. We'll play.
I got in my truck and made my way to school. I hated this truck. I wish I could use my own car, but that's ridiculous. I had to be inconspicuous which of course wouldn't happen if I drove anything other than my truck.
When I arrived at school, I noticed the Cullen's were there, standing by their cars. Edwards Volvo and Rosalie's red BMW. I made my way over to them, hoping by now Edward had calmed down.
"Look Bella, I'm sorry about how I've been acting. You know how I can be when I let my emotions get the best of me. I didn't mean it. I'll do anything to make it up to you."
I sighed, I was still annoyed with Edward. I decided to tell him I forgave him even though I hadn't. It's in my nature but I didn't want to cause any trouble. Especially for Carlisle.
"Edward. It's okay, you're forgiven. We can talk about this later because right now we have to get to class or we're going to be late." I said as I walked towards the building.
EDWARD POV
"What was that all about, what happened?" Asked Alice who was standing beside me. "I've never seen you guys like this. Is something the matter?"
"Alice." I whispered, "I have reason to believe that Bella might be cheating on me. I don't think it's a good idea to trust her. Maybe we should follow her and see if anything that she does is suspicious. We can take shifts."
Alice laughed, "that's ridiculous Edward. Do you think that after everything she's been through with us, that she would just up and leave you for another man? This isn't an easy life she's had. She's been around us long enough for me to know that she wouldn't just up and leave at the drop of a hat. She loves you!" Maybe Alice was right, but I still had my doubts.
"I'm telling you Alice. She's cheating. As of late she's been acting very suspicious. I have proof, which I'll show you. But first I need to gather some more evidence. Please help me." I begged. There was no chance that I was going to let Bella get away with this. She was going to pay.
"Fine, Edward! I'll give you three days. And I'll help. But if we can't find any evidence that's damning enough, then don't bother me with this again. Do I make myself clear?"
I grinned. "You have a deal."
CARLISLE POV
I wish I had recognised Isabella earlier. I don't know her very well, but I have spoken to her a few times. She had been very kind to me the first time I spoke to her. I had been walking in the garden of the Volturi castle when she appeared.
Flashback
"So. What brings you here working for the Volturi? I know you aren't one of them. I noticed your eyes the second I stepped into the throne room, your eyes are gold." She was curious.
"Well, I drink animal blood. I couldn't find it in me to take the life of an innocent human. I don't want this life. I came here to die." I sighed, wishing I could go back to the days when I was still a human.
"You know. I've crossed paths with many cold ones. All of them had eyes which were crimson red. I have never seen a vampire with eyes as gold as yours." She smiled. "You may be a vampire but that doesn't mean your life has to end. I think you can do great things in this world. You seem to be very compassionate. I wonder if compassion is a gift?" She mused. "I'll tell you what. I'll give you a century to find meaning in your life, and if you still aren't happy then you come back here and ask Aro for me. If you're still not happy, I'll grant your wish, which is death I assume?" I nodded solemnly.
I was curious. "How do you know of our kind if you aren't one of us?" She laughed. "Well my dear. I'm more like you than you think. I may not be a Cold One like yourself. But I'm a vampire. The classic ones that you hear about in myths."
I was shocked. "They exist!?"
She smiled. "Well when you were growing up as a child, did you believe that any kind of vampires exist? Of course not. But here you are now. Anything is possible. Well my dear, I must be going. Don't forget, a century. The offer still stands, though I don't think you'll be needing it. I never asked, what is your name?"
"Carlisle. Carlisle Cullen."
"Carlisle, that's a nice name. It's very unusual, I've never heard it before. Anyway, I must be going now. It was nice talking to you, I hope to see you again soon. Good luck, Carlisle." And then she was gone.
