"Come for a walk with me."

"Bella, we're leaving."

"When you say we-"

"I mean my family and myself."

"I'm no good for you, Bella"

"Bella, I don't want you to come with me."

"You…. Don't… want….. me?"

"You're not good for me, Bella."

"It will be as if I never existed."

"Goodbye, Bella."

6 Months later- BPOV

Even now, months later, I could still hear the words. Doesn't make them any easier to believe. I got up, grabbed my shower bag, and headed to the bathroom to start my routine to appease my father. I refuse to go to Florida, he may come back. I've already realized that we would never be together again; that's not why I wait for him.

Once I threw the tantrum convincing Charlie to not send me to Florida, I snapped out of my daze. Then, I became very angry, and determined. Angry for the lies of forever, angry for him taking my second family away, and a little angry at myself for being so naïve. Most of all, I was angry for him so easily breaking my heart. I became determined to make him pay for the pain he put me through. I've come to always keep lighter fluid and my shiny new zippo at ready in my pocket.

I showered and got ready for work. It was Saturday, so I was working a double. Charlie believed I was saving for college but, I had other plans. A few nights ago, I had broken into the old Cullen mansion. In Carlisle's study, I found information on several different estates that they owned. I will find him, and I will make him pay.

What was great about it all was that I wouldn't even have to worry about Alice seeing my plans. I went to Port Angeles with Angela one day, to prove to Charlie that I was trying to be 'normal' again, and found a supernatural shop by accident.

We were walking back to the car with Angela still not finding the 'right' dress to wear to the Valentines Day dance at school. "Maybe we could try the mall to find a dress you would-" I stopped mid sentence and stride as we passed a hole in the wall store that looked no bigger than my bedroom.

Angela stopped a few paces in front of me. "What is it?" After about twenty seconds, "Bella?"

"Hey, I wanna check this place out real quick. It will only take a few minutes."

Angela looked at the window sign, "Supernatural Protection?" She raised her eyebrow, then shrugged her shoulders and said, "Yeah, sure. I've always been curious about this stuff."

We walked in with a ring of a bell, and immediately, the store clerk was in front of us. She was a kind of scary looking older woman, with long white hair and a dress that looked like it belonged in the sixties. She had several rings on each finger, and so many necklaces of different sizes, they just looked like a jumbled mess. Hell, the store looked like a jumbled mess with things tucked into every nook and corner.

She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the register. "I already know what you need, child." She proceeded to pull a box from under the counter and slide it toward me. "I've been waiting to give this to you."

When I looked at her quizzically, she simply gestured for me to open the box. Inside was a topaz oval pendant on a long, tarnished chain. "What is this?" I asked

"It will block you from the dark-haired, future-seeing one." She stated with a smile.

My eyes grew wide as I looked at her and whispered "How do you know of her?" She simply smiled again, and pushed the box toward me. "How much?" I asked.

"For you child, this is a gift. You will need it to accomplish your goals." With that she shooed us out of the store.

End flashback

Since that day, I had never taken it off. I never knew if it actually worked or not, but it gave me the confidence to proceed making preparations for my plan.

Charlie was fishing on the rez with Billy for the day, so he was already gone. After eating a bowl of cereal and cleaning my dishes, I grabbed that ugly orange vest I had to wear and my keys. I locked the door and turned around to get going, when I ran into what felt like a brick wall, and promptly fell on my ass.

I looked up to see none other than-

"Jasper…" I whispered. I then passed out.
