A/N Big twist!!

Soul of the Sun

Ch.2 Stranger

I had survived for three months without him it hurt but I could do it, for my baby. Then the other pain started I recognized it as the same pain I felt when James bit me but this I was sure had something to do with my baby.

What I thought was a few minutes after the pain started there was a flash of light and all of a sudden a woman was standing at the edge of my bed. There was something strikingly familiar about her but I couldn't figure where I had seen her. She came over to me where I was huddled up in a ball crying from the pain; she wrapped her arms around me in a soothing way. The strange woman said things to me I'm sure were meant to make me feel better however they didn't really make much of an effect to pay attention.

At some point I had a moment of clarity when I was able to think about something other than the pain; when my brain just told me: Trust her, she was sent to guide you. Do not ask questions for which there are no answers. I don' know what it meant but I trusted that moment, I needed to believe in it.

After three long days the pain stopped. Now I could get a few select answers. The woman I was staring at had brown hair that went just past her shoulders and bright green eyes. She was about my height and had on a plain white skirt, ballet flats and a light pink blouse; she looked like something out of an old move.

"Who are you?" Seemed like a good place to start.

"My name is Elisabeth, Bella I won't hurt you or your baby." She knew my name and that I'm pregnant this I not normal; but I guess in my world nothing is. Hell the father of my child is a vampire.

"Ok, Elizabeth what are you doing here?" Also a good question especially since my brain was in ten places right now.



"I was sent here to help you and your baby, by whom I cannot say but I know many things that you will need to know and I can help you threw this. First you need to trust me." She said in a motherly and loving way.

"Yes, I trust you." I replied weekly.

"Good, now you need to hunt." I was about to ask how she knew that and then decided she probably knew more about my situation then I did. "While you do that I'll pack we need to leave. This place does not seem safe."

I just left I didn't want to know what she meant by that. I ran deep into the woods surrounding my house. It was dark but with my new vision I saw perfectly. When I smelt the blood of a deer I let my senses completely take over, I pounced and snapped the neck before I sank my teeth into the deer. After another three deer I was done and headed back to the house.

Elizabeth had packed up most of the stuff in my room.

"Where are we going exactly?" I asked.

"Where going to Chicago, there isn't too much sun there so you won't have to worry about that and you need to go back to school." Elizabeth said.

"Well that's good and all but aren't you forgetting something? The fact that I can't be near humans because I will probably drink them dry." It came out a little meaner than it was meant to but I was already at my limit I didn't need to add being a murderer to my list of reasons why my life sucked.

"Oh dear, did I forget to mention that you are completely immune to human blood and that you still age. Well silly me, sorry." She really did sound like a mother is was sweet. "Besides you've been with me this whole time and I'm human."

"No you left out." I mumbled under my breath.

We got into my truck and were on our. I didn't leave a note I didn't think that my parents would want the truth and I didn't want the last thing I told them to be a lie.



We drove to the airport in Seattle and emptied out my banks accounts before buying two plane tickets to Chicago. Once we had boarded I realized that there was a lot more money in my accounts than there should have been. I supposed that Charlie had been putting money away for collage.

The plane landed in Chicago airport at nine o'clock in the morning. Once we got my bags we went to go get a taxi. When we reached the city we got out and walked. All of our traveling was relatively quiet Elizabeth could tell I had no interest in talking right now.

"Where are we going,we aren't exactly rolling in cash?" What was making me so sarcastic all of a sudden? It must be the hormones.

"We are going to get an apartment and then I am going to get jobs and then you're going to get enrolled in school." She said coolly.

"How are you so sure we can do that with what we have, I mean we have almost no money and what kind of a job are you going to get? Not that I'm insulting you but what criteria do you have." We are so screwed this is never going to work how does she not see this?

"Bella dear, don't worry we will work it all out. And as for my criteria I can poor coffee as well as the next person and I think that has to count for something. I'm looking for a job not a carrier. But I would ask that you really devote yourself to your studies if you want to go to college next year you're going to need a scholarship of some kind." She was smiling. I like it when she smiled and her optimistic outlook was good to because mine was the total opposite. Maybe we could make this work.

Elizabeth was right it did work out, she got a job at a local coffee shop, we got an apartment and I managed a partial scholarship to Illinois State University. We got furniture (cheap but it works) and a lot of baby stuff. The apartment was only two bedrooms but I don't sleep so I didn't need a room.

I never went to a doctor for obvious reasons, so Elizabeth delivered the baby when I went into labor on June 21 at nine o'clock at night. It seemed to me she had done this before but I thought best not to ask.

It hurt but not as much as other things. It was a girl, little Elena Elizabeth Cullen. Her name means light which I thought fit because she is the sun of my soul. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I loved her before I saw her but when I saw her she was real and I became scared of what could happen to her but I knew I would be there to protect her.

"Oh Bella she is breath taking." Elizabeth said as tears fell down her face.

She was with her reddish brown hair like her father not chocolate brown like me. She looked a lot like him, not at all like me. She was my little precious piece of him.
