Chapter 1
To say that night Bella had met the blonde woman, a Miss Hale, also known as Lucy Hale, had changed her life was a rather big understatement.
Lucy had stayed overnight at the hospital just to make sure everything was okay with no problems with herself or Rosalie and had returned home the very next day. Of course, Bella had gone with her.
Bella then learnt that Lucy's husband, Rosalie's father had been working over late at the bank where he works and didn't know of Rosalie's birth until they had stepped through the front door.
Mr Hale, in other words Anthony Hale, was ecstatic upon seeing his first born child with his constant cooing and words of love. However, only Bella could see the disappointment radiating off of him, probably because he had wanted a boy like all the other men in this time period.
Anthony had never seen this Bella that his wife mentioned on numerous occasions because Bella had decided to keep her presence unknown to everyone other than Lucy. The last thing she needed was the attention of the people of Rochester on her.
Days went by, which turned into weeks and then a few months, but Bella remained with the Hale family, always helping out whenever Lucy had to do chores and errands while Anthony went to work.
(1 month)
"Bella, I need to nip to town and do some errands!" Lucy called, knowing that Bella would hear her from wherever the place she was hiding at. "I need you to watch Rosalie for me please!" She asked.
Bella was stood in front of her the next second, helping her put on her jacket with a giddy smile on her lips. "Do you really have to ask Lucy?" She laughed.
Lucy couldn't help but to laugh too, finding Bella's happiness with her daughter strange, but comforting in an odd way. She knew Bella would never hurt her daughter. "Well I have to, it's called manners." She winked.
Bella nodded, opening the door for the woman. "Have a good day Lucy, don't stay out too late and be careful alright?"
"You're such a dear, you should find yourself a wife to take care of you." Lucy giggled, her right hand palming Bella's cheek in a friendly gesture before she left.
Bella frowned at that, but bounded off to Rosalie's bedroom to see the one month old that had caught her heart completely.
Rosalie was wide awake in her pink crib, her crystal blue eyes looking around the room in fascination as she lifted her head a few times. She blinked when she heard the door to her room open and when the view of her favourite person came into her sight she smiled and laughed in glee.
Bella stared down at the baby human, gently lifting the baby into her arms, and holding her little hand. She moved around the room, holding Rosalie high in the air and spinning slightly.
"Does baby Rosalie like that? Does she like being in the air?" She weirdly coo'd at the baby, but wasn't that bothered when Rosalie gurgled a laugh and a big smile overtook her face.
Bella walked over to the chair in the corner of the room and sat down, Rosalie on her lap. Bella made sure to keep her legs together, her hands under Rosalie's arms and her body hunched forward slightly all so that Rosalie wouldn't fall.
Said baby looked up at Bella with the vampires support, finding the ruby red eyes of Bella's enchanting to look at. Bella titled her head curiously.
"Rosie likes my eyes?" She whispered, bringing her face closer to give Rosalie a better view. "My eyes are different from your mommies and daddies, mine are special because I'm special." She said, finding the curious look on Rosie's face adorable.
Rosalie reached out her hand, only just managing to touch Bella's face after she moved even closer.
"You see, I'm not human Rosie, I never have been. I was born what I am, what I will always be for eternity. This thing that I am…it scares people because things like me can be bad sometimes, but my kind, we're not like the others. There are only 5 of us in the whole world, and I am the leader because I am the other 4 of them combined and more, but this power I have…I don't know how to use it yet." Bella rambled, slowly bouncing her knees.
"My friends and I decided to split up for now, to go and explore the world for ourselves and learn about our powers and how to use them and then one day meet up again, but I came across your mommy, and then you were born, and I just can't leave you…I don't want to leave you…" She continued on, swearing she could feel tiny fingers stroking her cheek.
"You're only a month old, but I promise to be with you for as long as you want me to be Rosie." Bella promised, cradling the baby to her chest in a hug. Tiny fingers bunched up her wing tipped collar shirt, and she also felt a bit of drool on her shoulder, but she didn't mind, not one bit.
(6 months)
Bella sat atop the roof of the Hale's house, staring up at the moon and feeling the gentle breeze caress her face. She did this often, every night to be precise, but she wasn't just enjoying a calm night, rather she was practising with one of her powers; wind.
Out of the 4+1 powers that she possessed, the wind is the easiest to learn how to be used and controlled to her advantage. She had started with gentle breezes and could now create a tornado if she so wished, but she knew there was so much more she could do with the wind if she wanted.
Lucy and Anthony had gone for an evening stroll together, just to have some quality time with one another. With Lucy caring for Rosalie and Anthony working to provide for them they hadn't had much time to themselves.
Much to her disappointment, Lucy had asked a neighbour to watch over Rosalie instead of her because Anthony still didn't know that Bella was always around and t would seem weird if Lucy had asked her.
Nevertheless, Bella was still in a way watching over her because she was only on the roof, listening to everything going on in the house. The neighbour was sewing in the kitchen, and Rosalie was supposedly 'asleep' in bed, but Bella could tell that she wasn't by her heartbeat and breathing pattern.
Bored, Bella stood and dropped down to the window below her, climbing through and was then stood next to Rosie's crib. She peeked her head over, chuckling quietly to herself as Rosalie's eyes lightened up, cheerful gurgles escaping her mouth and waving her feet and arms in the air in excitement.
Bella looked at the girl, taking in the bigger Rosalie. Rosie's hair had gotten a bit longer with her light blonde curls, her body longer and twice the size she was 6 months ago. Her body was still chubby, but it made her all the cuter. Rosalie could now sit up on her own, crawl around, roll over and she sometimes tries to chew things.
With a grin, Bella held a finger up to her lips, grabbed some blankets and wrapped them around her before holding her in her arms and cradling the well covered 6 month old to her chest. One second they were in Rosalie's room and the next they were on the roof.
Bella let Rosie's head pop out from the blankets, her eyes wide as she stared at the moon. She tried to reach her hands out to touch it, but pouted when she couldn't. She turned to look at Bella upon hearing her laugh. She gurgled.
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry, but you're so cute!" Bella gushed, a charming dimpled smile on her face.
Rosalie looked at her, eyes wide, a slight pink hue to her cheeks. She buried her head back into Bella's chest, happy and content.
"You're getting bigger everyday Rosie, one day you'll be able to do this by yourself, once you're big enough. It'll be our thing, just yours and mine." Bella said, placing a light kiss to blonde curls.
(1 year)
"Happy birthday Rosalie!" Bella heard. Everyone the Hales knew had come over to the Hale's house to celebrate Rosalie's birthday.
Bella, of course, was out of sight as usual, but she wasn't alone this time. One of her kind had found her a few days before, his name being Adam Smith.
"Why do you stay here, Bella?" Adam suddenly asked her after sitting in comfortable silence. He fell back on the roof and rested his head on his hands.
"Why do you live?" Bella asked back, blowing the smoke from her cigar out of her mouth and not looking at her friend, more like a brother.
Adam didn't say anything for a minute. "I see. You have found her then." He said, closing his eyes and basking in the peace.
"I have. She may be young now, but I will wait for eternity for her if I have to." She breathed, flicking the cigar from her hand and watching it shoot far away in the distance.
"I wish to meet my other half soon as well, but she's taking her time." He laughed, and Bella joined in laughing with him.
"How are you doing with your powers so far?" Bella dared to ask, her eyes meeting his as he sat back up, deadly serious.
"It's harder than I thought it would be…I can influence it, so I have reached my full power, but I still need time to fully learn how to use it. You have it much worse than me and the others, so how are you doing with it?"
Bella looked away, standing up to her full height and taking a deep breath. With her right hand she shot it out, and a ball of flames lit up slightly higher in the sky. With her left she swayed it around, and Adam watched in fascination as the ball of flames swayed around with Bella's hand movements.
"That's amazing Isabella!" He shouted, excited at such a display.
Bella, feeling rather confident and cocky, expanded the ball of flames and let the swaying become faster, but too caught up in her excitement she couldn't stop the flames violent thrashing around, growing bigger, spreading over a larger distance.
"Shit!" She shouted, trying to shrink the flames, but they only spread to large trees in the area and they began to burn. Suddenly, the flames died after a large amount of water dropped on them and the burnt tips of the trees were no longer burnt, as if nothing had happened.
Bella panted, trying to catch her breath. She had gotten too arrogant with the flames. She could have put Rosalie in danger.
"You did really well considering you were influencing 4 elements at once, Isabella. You've already mastered the first half of your powers, now all you need to do is to be able to control them." Adam encouraged her, gently patting her back.
Bella nodded, calming herself down. "Influencing the elements is one thing, but controlling them is another."
"Well the flames was the best part, but that's probably because my element is flames." He grinned to himself.
Bella punched his shoulder, rolling her eyes. "Are you leaving now?" She regretted to ask.
Adam sighed. "You know we can only be together for a few days before the Volturi and Hunters catch on Isabella, I'm sorry."
"I know," She whispered. "I know. It was my order after all…" Bella sucked in a breath of air, not that she needed to, and gave Adam a bear hug. When she pulled away he was gone.
After waiting a few more hours for the party to end, Bella snuck into Rosalie's room when it was just Lucy and Rosie, Anthony had retired to bed early.
"Mama…Bella…" Rosalie gurgled.
"Look baby, look who it is! It's Bella!" Lucy said, pointing to Bella.
Rosalie, who looked to be pouting and ready to cry snapped her head up, a smile immediately on her cute face.
"Bella!" Rosalie mumbled.
Having been placed on the floor, Rosalie stood up on her legs and managed to walk over to Bella, who squatted down to greet the little one.
Letting out a squeal, Rosalie quickly clung to Bella, gripping whatever she could of the clothes Bella was wearing.
"Looks like she missed you." Lucy smiled, smoothing out her dress.
"Rosalie always misses me!" Bella laughed, picking up the little one and twirling her around. "Are you 1 now? A big girl?" Bella coo'd, causing Rosalie to giggle and laugh at her.
"Missed Bella…Bella…" Rosalie gurgled again. She knew 4 words; mama, dada, Bella and missed.
"I'll let you put her to bed. Goodnight Bella." Lucy said, waving at them both as she left the room to retire to bed herself.
Bella and Rosalie looked at each other and laughed. "You ready to see the moon?" She whispered, tickling Rosalie's stomach with a smile.
Rosalie nodded her head with a small smile of her own.
Little did Bella or Rosalie know that Bella would disappear in the early hours of the morning.
