Chapter 2: Winter Chills
The flight(s) here had been great and I finally reached Forks.
"Oh my gosh." I whispered as I recognized the familiar fresh air smell of Forks. I got into the black limousine that Carlisle and Esme had sent for me and gasped as the air flew into my nostrils. I stuck my head out of the car and smiled. I think this is a very first time Forks has seen a limousine. Carlisle and Esme had decided we'd move here again and say that we got over her death and I'd just change my appearance. It pulled into our house and I smiled.
"Thank you, sir." I smiled kissing Jonathon's cheek a little to flirty and walked into the house. I had my Gucci bag over shoulder, with my chanel glasses.
"Bella!!" Alice shouted and just about killed me.
"Ohmigod!Ohmigod! Your alive!!" She shouted. I nodded and brushed off my dress. It was purple and part of the sleeves were cut off but there were still sleeves.
Carlisle looked like he was about to cry and Esme just had a passionate look of hope in her eyes. I quickly made sure my hair was raven black and my eyes were dark, dark, dark black. Back when I was in Forks I had brown hair and pretty brown hair. Now I looked emo.
"Thank you so much for sacrificing all of this for me." I whispered and pulled them all into a hug.
I pulled Emmet into a hug as well as Rosalie.
"I love you guys." I whispered. Emmet was sobbing now.
"I thought you were dead." He whispered. I nodded and Alice jumped me again. I hugged Jasper then and he murmured into my shoulder.
"It's so great to have you back." He whispered. I smiled and had to blink back the tears.
"Let's get you unpacked!" Alice and Rosalie smiled. I nodded and we walked up to my room. It was exactly the same except there were no clothes or anything.
"Hey Alice." I said while she started pulling out shirts and skirts.
"Hmmm?" she smiled up at me.
"Could you get Edward to give me my jewelry back?" I whispered looking up at her. Her eyes went downcast and she whispered.
"I could try." I could already tell she didn't want to.
"I'm sorry Alice, It's just there very important to me." I smiled up at her and she nodded. We started putting away all the clothes at vampire speed then and I got into a teal ruffled skirt and a black long sleeved sweater.
"Family Meeting." Carlisle announced as I walked down the stairs.
"Okay." I mumbled and we all sat down at the large table.
"Alright as we all know Bella is alive and well. How can this be, you ask?" he smiled and a power point came up on the wall from a projector.
"Her heart did stop beating, but she just turned back into a vampire. Mathias, the vampire you killed took your body for Aro's spirit. He possessed him." Carlisle explained with a frown.
"I killed Aro! Once and for all!" I shouted slamming my fist against the table.
"Apparently he found a loot whole." Carlisle whispered shaking his head.
"Shit." I muttered.
"Here you go, Bella." Carlisle smiled as he passed out files to all of us. They all had a picture of us in them, plus a small summary of who we were. Everybody was the same. But me.
"Okay Bella. We just adopted you this past fall. You've just arrived now and your parents died. Your mother had breast cancer and your father got in a car accident. No family members were left so your mothers good friend put you up for adoption. Your hair is raven black, your eyes are dark, dark, dark, black and your snowy pale. Your eyes and hair put up a real contrast to your skin as well. And remember, your posing as Alice's long, lost sister." He smiled and handed me back my file.
"Nice. What's my name?" I asked curiously.
"Elizabeth Cullen." he smiled brightly.
"Elizabeth Cullen, how nice of a name." I smiled at the thought to. That was Edward's mother's name.
"School starts in two days!!" Alice exclaimed. That's right, today was Saturday.
"Well it does for you." She added. I nodded and chuckled.
"Let's go upstairs." She smiled and Carlisle just smiled and murmured quietly, "Meeting Adjourned."
"Okay let's pick out your outfit…hmmmm." She whispered stroking her chin.
"I know! Let's go to the mall tomorrow." She smiled and took me by the arm.
"Okay." I mumbled.

"Bella we got welcome home presents for you!!" Alice shouted. I smiled and ran downstairs with Alice.
"Me first!!" Emmet shouted. I nodded and he threw a box to me. I laughed and tore at all the wrapping paper.
"A journal!" I beamed at him.
"I knew you wanted one." I held it to my chest and smiled.
"We'll go next." Carlisle and Esme handed me a beautiful box gingerly. I pulled off the top and saw a gorgeous white dress, it was off white with a layer of lace and sparkles.
"Oh my gosh." I whispered feeling the embroidery.
"Do you know this belonged to?" she smiled. I shook my head.
"It was your mother's wedding dress. She asked us to trim it a little and give it to you." She smiled warmly at me.
"How'd she contact you?" I asked curiously.
"Alice has her ways." She smiled and I remembered Amber, Amethyst and Ruby. How couldn't I? She winked at me and I hugged the gorgeous dress to my chest.
"I can't wear it thought, it doesn't go with my hair at all." I smiled sadly and put it back into the gorgeous golden box.
"How about Jasper and I next." Rosalie raised her hand. Alice looked like she was about to pee her pants of anticipation. Rosalie had two boxes on her lap while Jasper had one. Rosalie gave me the smallest box and I found a beautiful pair of gloves.
"Rosalie! Their gorgeous." I whispered.
"The 2nd present was from Edward." Rosalie whispered slowly.
"He doesn't know you're here, but he wanted this to be put around you when you were put in the casket." Rosalie handed me a small ring, an engagement ring around a tiny chain.
"He said it was his Grandfather's to Grandmother and that his Grandfather wanted him to give it to someone special." She smiled sadly. I nodded and put it on, my eyes welling up. Jasper handed me another tiny box and I tore off the wrapping paper which had little soldiers on it.
"I'm not sure if you'll like it… but." He smiled as I opened the box to find a book. A book I've been wanting forever!
"Uglies by Scott Westerfeld! Thank you Jasper!!" I smiled and hugged him tightly.
"It's a great book." He smiled and I nodded when Alice basically threw her gifts at my head.
"Alice, breath." I smiled and she nodded with a huge grin.
There were two small silver boxes, one an inch larger then the other. I opened the smallest one and found my mother's ring.
"Oh my gosh Alice!! You got it back!!" I shouted and through my arms around her.
"Open the other one." She encouraged. I did and found my mother's necklace.
"ALICE YOU GOT THEM BOTH BACK!!!!" I shouted and jumped her.
"Edward said he understood and everything." She smiled and I held them and they tingled under my touch. I put them on and beamed at them all.
"Thank you so much for the gifts! You really didn't have to, but you did and I appreciate it." I said softly and pulled them all into a hug.
"Who wants to go hunting?" Alice smiled. Jasper and I nodded so we all went hunting.

We got back and Alice went onto you tube.
"You've got to watch this!!" she shouted.
"What is it?" I mumbled.
"It's this video!! Oh my gosh! Ha!" she shouted.
"World's Greatest Freak out #1 (Original)?" Emmet said out loud. The kid started sticking a remote up his but.
"Haha!" Rosalie started to laugh. I sighed and went back upstairs. This was going to be a long week.

"Let's go to Victoria Secret!!" She smiled, wiggling her eyebrows. We were out shopping for back to school clothes.
"Alice. No." I whispered.
"Come on! You need good support for your first day." She smiled. I mumbled a "fine" and she squealed of delight.
"This red silk and black would go great with the outfit your wearing.." she smiled
"Which is?" I asked curiously.
"A pair of purple skinny jeans, and a spaghetti strap black tank top and then we'll add a pink and black neon checkered scarf, plus a Aeropostale hoodie. You'll look awesome!" She smiled as she paid for my bra and panties. I growled at her softly before she dragged me to Aeropostale.
"Ugghh!" I growled as she threw a bikini at me.
"It's winter Alice, where'd you even find this?" I hissed.
"In the back." She chuckled.
"You look like a Victoria's Secret model, the curve's are gorgeous and oh I wish I had your body!" She whispered quietly.
"No you don't." I growled back. I got hit on all the time, and it was beyond annoying. As we exited I saw Lauren and Tyler Crowley.
"Hi! Alice, whose this?" Tyler said raising an eyebrow.
"This is my sister, Elizabeth – we call her Liz, Liza or Lizzie."
"Cool." Tyler smiled and Lauren actually looked like she liked me.
"Hi. I'm Lauren." She beamed.
"Nice to meet you, Alice and I are half sisters and were separated when we were littlies." I smiled glancing at Alice.
"I see the resemblance – your hair." Tyler noted.
"Yeah. Most people say our hair is alike." I chuckled.
"Yeah, well it was nice meeting you, Elizabeth. See you tomorrow, at school." Lauren smiled walking away with Tyler in tow.
"Lauren likes you! Like you guys could be best friends." Alice chuckled and I groaned as we exited the shopping mall. I couldn't wait until tomorrow, I'd get to see Edward. Even if he didn't know me, I knew him.
