Edward and I were packing up our room. We (all of the Cullens) were moving to Canada-British Columbia to be exact. The rest of the family had decided to surprise me by moving to a little town called Bella Coola (Yes, it is there!!) which is in the Coast Mountains.
It was not very close to a large city, but Alice said that we could just shop online and use her site for shopping. I was happy about that, because I wouldn't have to be dragged to the mall every weekend. Bella Coola was a tiny town, similar to Forks. We didn't know much about the town's history, but there was a Indian reservation about 25 miles West of the town.
I had thought that there being an Indian reservation was ironic, it was too much like Forks. Hopefully, it wouldn't hold the same secrets, besides ours.
We had found out that I didn't need to be away from humans for quite as long as we had anticipated. I had an aversion to blood. Hunting wasn't very pleasant for me, but I forced myself to drink it. Edward shown me what he had meant when he had said 'when we hunt, we give ourselves over to our senses, we govern less with out minds.' Watching him hunt was simply… intoxicating. His grace, and the quickness of how he moved-it entranced me.
Currently, Edward was packing up all of his cds and stereo, while I was packing up all of the clothes Alice had bought for me. She had known that my human clothes wouldn't fit me anymore, so she bought a whole new wardrobe-much more than I needed. She had mainly chosen blues, but there were other colors too. Also, lots and lots of accessories and shoes.
Just as I was done packing all of my new clothes, Edward finished.
"Finished, love?" Edward asked.
"Yeah." I walked out of the closet with the last box. "I see that you are done as well."
"Yes, let's take those boxes down to the semi." Emmett had rented a semi truck to move all of our stuff, excluding furniture-we were leaving that here. Emmett was going to drive it to Canada. He was very excited about that. He hadn't ever driven one before.
Edward and I raced downstairs with three boxes each. That way it only would take up three trips. That only took about one minute. When we were done, we saw Jasper struggling to carry the boxes he was carrying. I would be too if it was Alice's things.
"Having fun, Jasper?" Emmett asked.
"About as much as you will when you are carrying Rosalie's things up to your guys' new room." Jasper shot back. Rose had carried all of her stuff down, but Emmett was carrying it when we got to Canada.
Unfortunately for Jasper and Emmett, Alice and Rosalie had heard them. Alice raced to her husband and smacked his shoulder, while Rose smacked Emmett upside the head. During which, Edward and I were laughing.
Carlisle and Esme came into the house and saw us laughing.
"What happened?" Carlisle asked.
"Emmett being Emmett." Edward and I said together, still laughing.
"Well, it's time to go, if everyone is finished packing." Esme said, looking around. Everyone was nodding. "Then let's go!"
Everyone started to go out the front door, but I didn't. I stopped to look around one more time. I recalled all of my memories that I had made at this house, good and bad. The first time I had come, Edward playing the piano for me, after the baseball game, my 18th birthday party, the 'vote', coming here after Edward and I got engaged, getting married here, and finally, the Volturi. So many things had happened here, so many memories. It would be difficult to leave this beautiful white house- but leave we must.
"Bella? Are you alright?" Edward was now gazing straight into my eyes.
"Yes, I'm fine. I was remembering everything that had happened here." I explained. Edward would be able to understand-so much had happened for him here too.
Edward put his arms around my waist. "Yes, we have had many things occur here. Hopefully we will make many more memories in Bella Coola. Hopefully they are all good ones too."
"Come on you two love birds!" Emmett shouted, not that he needed to anymore. I could have heard him say it in a normal voice.
Edward and I walked out to the garage. We all had to drive separately, beside me, because of the numerous amount of vehicles. Alice was driving Edward's Volvo, Carlisle was driving his Mercedes, Esme was driving Emmett's colossal Jeep, Rosalie was driving her BMW convertible, Edward was driving his Aston Martin Vanquish, Jasper was driving his Jaguar, Emmett was driving the semi, and I was going to ride with Edward, or so I thought.
When Edward and I arrived at the garage, everyone else was surrounding a beautiful midnight blue Audi convertible.
"What's going on?" I asked hesitantly.
"We got you a car because you needed one!" Alice said excitedly.
"You really didn't need to do that." I said.
""It's the least we could do, Bella. Please don't argue, just accept it." Edward said, while looking me in the eyes again. My breath caught in my throat. He had just dazzled his way into winning, again.
"Cheater." I whispered. Edward just chuckled. I turned. "Thank you, all of you."
"You're welcome Bella" Esme said, speaking for all of them. "Let's go everyone."
Edward pressed a key into my palm- the key to my Audi. I smiled at him. Rosalie came over to where I was.
"I hope you like your car, Bella. I did some work on the engine, so enjoy the extra speed."
"Thank you, Rosalie." I said sincerely.
"Please, call me Rose." She said, smiling, as was I.
She left to go and get into her own car. I got into the Audi. The inside of the Audi was dark and cool. The windows were tinted and the upholstery was black. I turned the key in the ignition, and it silently came to life. You could tell this was a powerful vehicle, partly because of Rose.
I saw Emmett take off, followed by Alice. I was behind Alice, so I followed her. She quickly overtook Emmett, and I imitated her. I looked up at Emmett who didn't look so happy about having to go slower than he was used to. I just smiled and waved. He waved back.
After about six hours, I saw Alice turn onto a road that I hadn't noticed. We were in British Columbia, of that I was sure. Anything else? No. I followed Alice for about two miles, when I saw it.
It was our new house. It was a tan color, very modern. The closest thing that I had ever seen like it was a large business building with the modern look in Phoenix. It was very interesting, with the flat roof, and curved walls. But besides that, it was huge! There were four stories, plus an attic, and a basement. I couldn't believe this was my new home; it was just so beautiful.
It was at the base of a large gray mountain that had sparse vegetation, and I could hear the bubbling of the Bella Coola River where it forks off into the mountains. It was perfect, a paradise, an Eden. Our Eden.
