Chapter 6

Edward's POV

We were out hunting in Boston, our new home. I was in the middle of sucking the life out of a deer when Alice got a vision.

Bella, the real Bella, ripping of the head off Victoria.

I ran faster than I ever had in my life while Alice told the others what she just saw. This time it was the real Bella. My Bella. I was sure of it.

Victoria was trapped in between two invisible walls and couldn't move, no matter how many times she struggled. Bella was beside her with her hands on either side of her head, ready to rip Victoria's head off.

"Bella?" I called incredulously. My Bella was never the violent type of person. Was this really her? Could this be another Sam? God forbid, I don't need another Sam!

"Just a sec," said Bella, not turning to look at me. She ripped the pieces of Victoria to the ground and lit them on fire.

"Bella?" I called again. She knew I was there, but wouldn't turn to see me. I heard noises around me, which means my family just got here. Their thoughts of happiness and disbelief rang through my head, but I ignored them and kept my eyes on Bella.

"Is that really you Bella?" Alice said. Bella turned around then. I felt a twinge of jealousy towards Alice. She can get Bella to look at them, but I can't?

"Yeah, it's me," she muttered quietly, as if she wished she wasn't Bella at the moment. Did she hate us that much? I noticed her looking at Sam.

"Whoa," the girls that could be twins said simultaneously. As Bella looked at Sam, lost in thoughts, I couldn't take it anymore. My Bella was alive! I ran gleefully towards her to give her a hug, but slammed into an invisible wall. This must be Bella's power. I felt pain, physically and emotionally, run through my body.

"Stay away from me," she growled at me. She must not remember who I am, because Bella would never do this to me.

"But, Bella, it's me, Edward," I said, seeing if she would remember me now.

"I know who you are," she said coolly, "That doesn't mean I want you near me."

More pain went trough me, enough to make Jasper wince. Thoughts ran through my mind.

Dude, you just got rejected! -Emmett. I'd kill him for that later.

Serves you right for leaving her! -Alice. Yup, she still hates me.

My poor daughter! -Carlisle and Esme. Good to know they feel sorry for their daughter and not their son.

Can we get this reunion over with? I miss my mirror! -Rosalie. Stupid vain chick.

Ha-ha. She hates you! -Sam. She enjoyed taunting me, but I ignored her.

Ow. –Jasper. I tried to calm my emotions for his sake. Didn't help.

"I'm so sorry I left you, I'll never forgive myself for that!" I pleaded for her to understand.

"But you'll just replace me no problem?" she snapped, with a sharp nod in Sam's direction. If the situation wasn't as tense as it was, I would have laughed at the idea. Me and Sam? HA!

"What? No, that's Sam, we're not . . . she's just . . ." I stammered, trying to explain. I didn't know how to say what I wanted to say. 'Sam's just a pain in the butt that lives with us and hates us,' would have worked, but I couldn't think under the evil glare my Bella was giving me.

"Sam is just a friend," Alice said, who I didn't realize had walked, or danced, up to stand beside me. I would thank her for the help later. She attempted to hug Bella like I had, but whatever blocked me blocked her also.

"Whatever, I'm not in the mood for this," Bella said while turning away.

"Wait!" Alice called before I could, "At least explain what Victoria was doing here!"

Bella seemed to ponder the idea of talking to us, but decided to tell us anyway. "She was here to attack you, well, Sam I guess, because she wanted revenge for you guys killing James," she said as if she wanted to leave as soon as she can.

What's with her, thinking she can come and save us from Victoria. We don't need her to help! -Rosalie. She really irks me.

Why would she save us if she obviously hates us? -Emmett. Good question, Emmett!

If she saved us, that means she still loves us! She loves us! She loves us! Maybe we can go shopping tomorrow? -Alice. Of course Alice has to think of shopping at a time like this.

How sweet of her to save us. –Carlisle.

I hope Bella didn't get hurt by Victoria. She doesn't look hurt. –Esme. Is she hurt?

This Victoria chick was going to attack me? What the hell did I ever do? Damn, it's all these weirdoes' faults! Why do I live with them again? -Sam. Yes, Sam, why do you live with us?

Ow. These emotions are going to kill me one day. –Jasper. Poor Jasper.

"So you killed her?" I asked. I was impressed that Bella was able to kill her, but scared that my poor Bella had become a monster.

"Pretty much," she said as if it was no big deal. Silence grew and no body said anything. "If you're done with the questions, I'm out of here," Bella finally said and turned to leave again.

"Wait!" called Sam. I was surprised that she didn't make any sarcastic comment the whole time. "Can I come with you?" she asked, shocking the whole family.

"Why?" Bella asked in shock as well.

"These people are way too messed up," she said simply, insulting us like usual. She was right; our family has been messed up without Bella.

Bella agreed. Poor Bella didn't know what she was getting herself into. "Sure, come on," she said and ran into the forest before we could ask anymore questions like how the hell did you become a vampire and who did it to you so I can go rip their throat out? Sam ran after Bella and they were both gone before we could even get a chance to run after them.

Five Years Later (A/N: Sorry we've been skipping around a lot lately.)

Bella. Bella's alive. That's all I could think for the last five years. Bella is alive; we can all be a family again.

But no, she ran away with Sam. Sam of all people! She doesn't want our family; she doesn't want me.

I did keep hope, though. Jasper and his awesome power told me that among all the hatred Bella felt, she felt love. That's a good thing, right?

The last five years, our family has been better. We are all still depressed about Bella, much to Jasper's disappointment, but as long as Bella's alive, we are happy. Alice shops everyday now and Emmett jokes around again. Jasper hangs out with the family now that the emotions are better and Rosalie isn't pissed anymore. Esme doesn't dry sob anymore, or at least that's what the family thinks.

The last couple of years, we've been searching for Bella and Sam, but we never seem to find them. Rosalie kept saying that if they didn't want to be found, they wouldn't be. Sadly, she seems to be right.

We decided that we would go back to school in Wisconsin for awhile to take a break from our search. We haven't been to high school in a while, so we figured it was a good idea.

What's worse than another two years in the hell of high school is that Alice has been blocking her thoughts. That's never a good sign. What if she's planning to take me shopping and dressing Emmett and me up in girl's clothes again? Or what if she played a prank on me by disassembling my car again? Or what if she replaced my classical music with Brittany Spears again? Wait, no that was Emmett. Oh god, I'm starting to become paranoid now!

Bella's POV

I must say, the last five years have been some of the best of my life. Sam is my best friend, even though she can be rude and annoying.

She told me some stories about her year with the Cullen's. I do feel a little bit guilty for being the one who ruined their family, but its payback for ruining my life.

We've been working on our diets a lot lately. You would think I wasn't as temped to human blood as much as Sam because I've been a vegetarian longer then she has, but surprisingly, her determination makes her less temped to the blood. We've decided to put it to the test by going back to school.

We are going to a school in Wisconsin. Apparently, Sam's always wanted to go to Wisconsin. She was obsessed with cheese as a human.

Anyway, that's why we are headed down the road, going 100 mph (I like speed now) singing random songs on the radio out of key. I know, we are vampires and have musical voices and all, but what's the fun of singing to the radio in key? Singing out of key is so much more fun!

It was the first day of school for everyone because it was a new year. We were twins in junior year, how fun is that? We already got our schedules before the school year started and sadly found out that we only have two classes together, English and math.

We pulled into the school parking lot, almost running over three students, and jumped out of the car. A lot of people were staring at us, no shocker there. I wore a pair of dark jeans, and a boring t-shirt. I didn't want to wear anything that would attract more attention to me.

Sam, on the other hand, wanted the attention. She wore a neon blue cheetah print tank top with a long sleeve black shirt under it. Her jeans were cut off at the knee and had holes over them. She wore tights with rainbow colored skulls under her jeans and long converse boots with zebra stripes on them. Her goal to get attention was definitely accomplished.

I realized that the other half of people that weren't staring at us was staring at another group of kids. Sam noticed this before I did.

"Oh great, they're stalking us," she muttered under her breath. I looked where she was looking. It was the Cullen's, of all people. Fate sucks, doesn't it? They were all facing the other way, still oblivious to the fact that we were here. Alice probably had a vision and was blocking Edward out of her mind because she had a thumbs up behind her back.

"Damn!" I cursed a little too loudly. It was loud enough for their vampire ears to pick it up and they all whipped around to look at Sam and me.

"Good job, moron, you got their attention," Sam said sarcastically.

I didn't respond because my eyes couldn't look away from the topaz eyes that met mine at least 50 feet away. The bell had rung and Sam had left, but I was still frozen in place.

Unfortunately, even across a high school parking lot, Edward Cullen can still dazzle me. Talk about pathetic.

So what do you think? I loved writing the other people's thoughts in Edward's point of view. :P
