Bit of a twist

Chapter 4

4 years. It had been 2 years since Bella had left Rochester, the Hale family and especially Rosalie. The 1 year old toddler was now 5, she no longer needed assistance getting dressed and she could talk rather well and play a lot with her friends. She now had blonde locks that reached her shoulder blades in waves, she has pearly white teeth and her crystal blue eyes seemed to look right through you.

During the 4 years that Rosalie had been growing up, Bella and her friends had spent most of that time hidden in underground caves all around the world, nurturing their powers to further be able to influence and control them and because they were all together they managed to aid each other during that time with improving.

"I think it's time we emerged within the world again, if only for a short while before we regroup and continue training." Bella said, not looking away from the enchanting moon she had come to love even more.

"Are you insane?!" Molly shouted, standing from her laid position against a rock and glared at Bella with her grey eyes.

Bella sent a quick glance at her before her gaze returned to the moon. "I don't see why not. We've worked hard the past 4 years, if we keep at it like this we're only going to exhaust ourselves."

Adam nodded his head. "I agree with Isabella. We can't stay together like this any longer or we will end up leading our enemies to our front door."

Louise and Daniel said nothing. They would follow Bella's orders, she was their leader and ultimately they put their faith in her to protect them all.

"We haven't been sitting around doing nothing these past 4 years Molly, we've been training every day, every hour, every second without a break! We're all exhausted and if the enemy came knocking on our door right now we would barely be able to fight! We need to split and gather our energy back from our elements before we start to train again." Bella said, her voice firm.

Molly growled at Bella, but she knew her place and stopped her growling. She turned around and walked to hole that everyone used to sneak into the cave with and didn't say one word as she left, jumping from rock to rock to get away from the others.

"She'll come back, she just needs time to calm down." Adam said, his eyes full of concern as he looked at Isabella.

Said woman looked away, choosing to stare at the full moon instead before she looked at the rest of her family. "Split up and stay safe. We regroup in 5 years, no longer since we're already pushing our luck with the last 4 we had. Visits to each other are day visits only, no more than that. Be safe and I'll see you soon." She said, flicking her wrist and everyone was gone.

She smiled to herself. "I'm coming home, Rosie."

Rosalie was at an event that was being held for her father's new promotion at the bank. She was surrounded by girls that are her age drinking juice and talking about dresses and future marriages and so forth, but Rosalie wasn't paying any attention to them.

She was wearing a frilly white dress, her hair was curled with small heels and everyone was gushing about how cute or adorable she looked. Her parents were having adult conversations, well her father was, her mother kept looking at her to make sure that she was fine and Rosalie would give her a smile to show she was. It was mostly because there was a strange boy hanging around her and he wouldn't leave her alone, but he was important because he was the bank chairman's son so she had to be nice to him.

Rosalie was more wound up than usual, she had this feeling that something good was going to happen, but she hadn't felt this feeling in a really long time. Eventually growing bored with the gushing girls and the creepy boy she went over to her mother and asked for her favorite jacket that she never left the house without.

Lucy smiled at her and helped her put on the blazer even though it was still too big for her, but wearing this jacket made Rosalie feel safe and secure because it was from her Bella.

"Mama when can we go home?" She asked, her hand tugging on her mother's silk red dress.

Lucy sighed, looking at the golden watch on her wrist and the holding the hand that Rosalie was tugging her dress with. "I'm not sure baby, when daddy is done talking to his friends we can go."

Rosalie pouted her full lips, her features taking on a scowl. She was about to go over towards her father and tell him she wanted to leave, but her attention was caught by someone making an entrance that caught everyone else's attention.

"Ah, Miss Swan! Please do come in and make yourself at home." Mr Royce said, gesturing into his large party room that everyone was in.

Bella nodded, dismissing him quickly and walking further into the room. She was looking for her very reason for living, but with all of the people around she couldn't see her, but she could smell her scent; vanilla and rose.

She walked to the centre of the room and spotted Anthony straight away talking to some other men. Out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Lucy, still as beautiful as she was when she first met her. They locked eyes and Lucy's lit up, a smile taking over her face. Bella's eyes wondered down to the small hand held in Lucy's and she looked at her life, standing there, and staring back at her with those stunning crystal blue eyes.

"Bella...?" Rosalie whispered, her voice a small timid whispered. Hey eyes were wide at she stared at the woman, tears rolling down her cheeks as her mouth hung open.

Bella smiled, rushing forwards towards the pair. She was quickly pulled into a hug by Lucy and she gave the woman a squeeze and a kiss on the cheek. She pulled back with a large smile. "I told you I would come back."

"Don't you ever disappear like that for so long again! I was so worried about you! Where did you go and why did you leave?!" Lucy said, jabbing her finger into Bella's chest repeatedly.

"Lucy calm down and stop jabbing me woman!" She laughed, gently prying away the jabbing finger. "Just know that I'm back for a while. It's safer for you to not know the reasons."

"Humph." Lucy huffed, shaking her head in exasperation. She looked down at Rosalie and smiled, gently tugging the little girl forwards. "Rosalie, sweetie, do you remember Bella?"

Rosalie was still in shock, staring up at the woman that had been there for her growing up. Of course she remembers Bella, she never forgot her.

Bella tilted her head curiously and pulled up her black slacks to crouch down to look the girl in the eyes. Bella was wearing dark glasses to hide her eye colour.

Rosalie let go of her mother's hand and tentatively walked closer, pulling the glasses off of Bella's face. "I like your red eyes. Don't hide them from me." She whispered, her cheeks blushing a rosy red.

Bella smiled at the girl, holding her hand out. "May I have a dance with the young lady?"

Rosalie's smile lit up her face and she took the offered hand. "You never have to ask."

The two danced the night away with each other until Anthony finally decided to call it a night and head home with his family. He had said his goodbyes to everyone and even to Isabella Swan, who he had a meeting with on Monday morning.
