A new beginning Chapter 4: Songs and vegetarians, a twilight fanfic

A/N: Hello again! I'm really sorry it took me so long to update, but I had a lot of homework to do... It sucks, I know. I'm not happy about it either, but it had to be done...

And I'm happy to say that I finally noticed that I haven't put disclaimers on my chapters so far, sorry! So here it is:

I don't own Twilight or any of its characters... Although I wish I did

So enough excuses, on with the story:

Previously:

„Bellissima?" I asked.

„It means 'beautiful' in Italian" he explained.

Oh well. I guess I'll just roll with it...

Now:

„Great, Felix" I said, rolling my eyes.

„So you like it?" he asked, his eyed shining excitedly.

Then Nick slapped him on the back of the head. „She was sarcastic, you idiot" he said.

„Oh" was all Felix said. „Then I'll think of a new one!"

„Felix, why don't we just stick to Bella for now?" I suggested hopefully. „Maybe later, when you get to know me, you'll think of something else"I really hope they don't, I thought. I hate nicknames.

„That's a great idea" Aro told us. „Now, let's go hunting, Bella" He looked excited.

„Ummm, yeah... I wanted to talk to you about that..." they all looked at me curiously. „Well, I don't want to kill people" I said after a long silence.

They looked shocked for a moment, but then Aro spoke up. „It's completely your choice. We don't force anyone into anything"

„Thank you. Hey, maybe you could try it, too" I suggested.

„Well, I'm not sure about that... You see, we've been killing people for centuries and..." I interrupted Aro.

„I didn't say that you should stay 'vegetarians' for all eternity. You can just try"

„Okay. We'll come with you. Someone needs to teach you how to hunt, right?" Aro said.

„Come on then"

I found out that the Volturi castle was just on the end of town and on the other side of it was a forest.

The nine of us – me, Jane, Alec(who had just recently joined us), Aro, Caius, Marcus, Nick, Demetri, and Felix – jumped through the window. It was becoming dark outside but I could still see everything so clear it was almost surreal.

Then I caught the smell of something. It was divine, so alluring... I didn't know what it was, but I immediately turned towards it. I was about to start running in its direction, when I felt a hand on my shoulder, holding me down.

„Bella, I thought you didn't want to kill humans" Caius smirked.

I just glared at him. „I'm a new born, I can't control myself... Plus, I didn't know it was a human. Let's go deeper into the woods, so there's no chance of me sensing the scent of humans" I said.

They all nodded and we took off. Then I felt an almost disgusting smell. „What is that?" I asked.

„Elk, I think" Nick said, sniffing the air.

„Okay, let's go then" I started running towards the smell. I found myself in a clearing that painfully looked like the one in the woods near Forks, but I ignored that. I just threw myself at the biggest animal I could see. It didn't put up a good fight, but I was almost sure my clothes were ruined. I drained the animal completely, the warm blood satiating the burn in my throat.

When I turned around, I found Nick, Felix, Demetri, Alec, and even Aro, Caius and Marcus, were looking me up and down. Jane was just glaring at them. I looked down and found out that the guess about my clothes had been right. They were literally torn apart and weren't covering much... I shifted uncomfortably. „Umm, if you're done eyeing me, you should probably go and hunt for yourselves" I hinted.

The guys looked embarrased, and Jane just laughed. I bet she was thinking the same as me: We're so going to harass them about that for the next few decades...

They all went their separate ways and I just stood there, mu back against one tree, waiting for them. I heard some'Ewwww's and 'That's not so bad's from all around me and I laughed.

Oh yeah, life as an immortal will be fun, I'm sure. Well, I still have to deal with a heartbreak, but I didn't feel so hopeless now.

The others surrounded me again and we headed back to the castle. I jumped through the window right into my room and I noticed that there was now a huge desk with an expensive looking computer on it. Apparently vampires really did have a thing with money on others...

„Aro!"I shouted, even though I didn't need to. He appeared in front of me in an instant. „Why did you spend so much money on me?" I asked angryly.

„Oh, yeah, apparently you don't like presents... Take it as a welcome home present. And no arguments, everyone gets it" I didn't say anything, so he left the room.

I sighed and turned on the computer. They gave it to me, might as well start using it. I went to Youtube to listen to some of my favoutite songs, when something caught my attention. I clicked on a video called 'Skillet – Say Goodbye'. The song started playing and I found myself thinking about Edward again...

Things are changing
It seems strange and
I need to figure this out
You've got your life
I've got mine
But you're all I cared about
Yesterday we were laughing
Today I'm left here asking
Where has all the time gone now?
I'm left alone somehow
Growing up and getting older
I don't wanna believe it's over

Don't say goodbye
'Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight
'Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I
And although we knew this time would come for me and you
Don't say anything tonight
If you're gonna say goodbye

Do you remember in December
How we swore we'd never change?
Even though you're leaving
Our feelings would always stay the same
I wish we could be laughing
Instead I'm standing here asking
Do we have to end this now?
Can we make it last somehow?
We both know what we gotta say not today
'Cause I don't wanna live this way

I slid down to the floor, sobbing. This was exactly the same way it was with me and Edward. I couldn't help but notice the resemblance.

And if it's over
It hurts but I'm giving you my word and
I hope that you're always happy like we were
Happy like we were

Yesterday we were laughing (If you're gonna say goodbye)
Today I'm left here asking (If you're gonna say goodbye)
And although we knew this time would come for me and you
Don't say any thing tonight
If you're gonna say goodbye

My heart was breaking when I listened to this song, and I guess I was a masochist, because I listened to it non-stop for the next week. And, meanwhile, I thought I found my gift – I could cry with real tears. No one else knew that, because I hadn't gone out of my roon yet. I had to hunt, but I still couldn't move. I was curled in a ball on the floor beside my desk and was rocking back and forth. That's when the door burst open.

„That's it, Isabella Marie Swan Volturi!" shouted Felix. „You've listened to this song at least a thousand times this week! I'm getting depressed!" Then he saw my face. „Bella?" he asked, he looked almost afraid, but he took a step towards me.

„Hey, look, I found my gift!" I said in a small voice, trying to change the subject.

„Why are you crying, Bella?"

„I... It's just that this song reminds me so much about... I guess I never really told you my whole story" I called everyone in my room and they came, sitting in a circle around me, concern and worry written in their eyes.

I told them the whole story, holding nothing back. I told them about Edward and his family, every small detail right up to the day I came to Italy. They listened carefully and when I was finished my story, Jane started screaming... „That little bastard! I'm going to rip him to pieces... He's gonna pay for what he did to you, I swear!"

„Jane, calm down. Really, I meant what I said the first day. They are my past. You are my present and future. I'll just... Forget about them"

If I could...

1 month later

I promised myself I'd get over Edward exactly one month ago.

It was going good, actually. In this month, I learned to speak Italian fluently, though I prefered English, and how to play the guitar. I was expressing my feelings through music now.

Now I just learned how to play White Horse by Taylor Swift. It was my favourite song now and I was thrilled to be able to play it myself. And, apparently, being a vampire meant having a heavenly voice, so I now had singing skills as well...

I was sitting in my room and I decided to play the song...

Say you're sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
'Cause
I honestly believed in you
Holding on,
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known

That I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

Baby I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
I never really had a chance.
My mistake i didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upper hand.
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings;
Now I know

I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness,
Begging for me
Just like I always wanted,
But I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not your princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone, Some day
Who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world,
That was a small town
There in my rearview mirror,
Disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your White Horse
Now it's too late for you and your White Horse
To catch me now.

Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh
Try and catch me now
Whoa-Oh
It's too late
To catch me now

There were applause from all over the castle when Aro came in my room.

„It's wonderful, darling, but you have to get ready" he said. „Eleazar will be here in five minutes, and his family is coming with him"

Here goes nothing...
