STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS TWILIGHT NOT ME

BPOV- 1 YEAR ON

I glanced around the dark forest sure that someone was following me on my way home. I couldn't hear or smell someone but I just had that sense. I sent out a shockwave just in case but apparently there was no one in my general area, the closest being back in the town four miles away. Even with this confirmation I still couldn't shake the feeling. It hadn't been the first time either. For the last month I had been getting this feeling and yet there was never anyone there and never any scents. It just didn't make sense. I had only had this feeling once before and that was when we were being hunted across the country by Victoria's creator although we didn't realise it at the time. See like the pixie-slut-whore-Alice, Victoria had no memories of how she was turned. She only remembered waking up with James and after that she just presumed he turned her. But he didn't he stole her from her true mate Antonio, and tore up Antonio. James never burnt the pieces of Antonio, he wanted Antonio to feel pain and so decided that he should live. Ant stayed like that for hundreds of years until recently a blond-haired vampire found him by accident and put him together. This made Victoria nervous; she seemed to know the other vampire but didn't tell me. I suppose that she must have met a lot of vampires in her time being a nomad. The only ones we both knew were the Cullen's and they wouldn't be that far down not in Texas. Anyway it turned out that Antonio was Mama's true mate and so that was that. He joined up with us and our little family of two became three.

Looking up at the sky I noted that while I had been internally rambling darkness had fallen. Shit how long had I been rambling for? I was about to set off again when I remembered why I had stopped. Was someone following me again? Should I be worried? Although since becoming a vampire I had developed amazing co-ordination as well as some other skills I was still a slight danger-magnet. Like with the were-wolves. I mean there I one wolf left in the whole bloody earth and yet it was me who found it and me who it tried to attack. Perhaps there was another one this time. But still. Better safe than sorry hey? I pulled out my phone from my pocket, quickly dialling Ant's number. He answered immediately his voice filled with concern.

'Bella darling, where the hell are you? You were meant to be back four hours ago. Are you lost? Do you need help? Do you want me to come find you? Are you hurt? OMG has something attacked you please baby girl tell me you're safe. Did you slip up? Oh god are you ok look we all do it, it's nothing to be ashamed of darling it happens don't wor-'

I cut him off. 'Daddy, I'm fine I just lost track of time that's all I was just thinking about stuff. I'll be back soon I promise.' I hung up before my over protective father could respond. I set off in a run back to the house, well more mansion, I shared with my family.

It seemed odd that not a year ago I had had visions of myself living out forever with the Cullen's but atleast I know better now. The Cullen's didn't want me, I was nothing to them. At first I was devastated with what Edward and Alice had done but that wasn't hard to get over. It still hurt but not as much as the fact that they had not bothered to even try to contact me. I expected as much from Eddie-kins and his new pissing pet, even from Emmett and Rosalie but Carlisle and Esme. No I'd thought that they at least would want to know how I was getting on or even just what had become of me. For all they know I could be dead now and they don't care? Then again I suppose when you look at it, they were already dead to me after the betrayal so why would it be any different for them? It wouldn't I was a distraction. I remembered what Edward had said the first time he left. That was when he was speaking the truth, how could I not see it. Had Alice not been more upset than a sister should be when she found out? Had it not been her urging me on? She had wanted me to go and then Jacob had warned me. Why had I not listened? I missed Jake and the pack. I missed La Push. I missed Charlie. Hell, I even missed the green of forks. But most of all? I missed the person I had had the least contact with. It felt like half of me had been taken when I thought back to my awakening with only Victoria where was he? Not there.

I had always pictured my newborn days to be ones where I lived in seclusion with one of the Cullen's, most likely Jasper. I don't know why jasper but he seemed to be the one with the most experience with newborns. That's another thing they never bothered to tell me, Jasper's past. I had asked once but Alice had cut-in saying that it wasn't something that I would be interested in. Perhaps not, but I wanted to know and her cutting in just increased my curiosity. Why had it seemed like she was trying to keep something from me or was she just keeping me and Jasper far apart?

I could never fully understand the relationship between Jasper and Alice, they were never affectionate. Even with the whole looking-into-the-eyes thing they had going on. All of the other Cullen's thought that the little 'conversations' they had were dull of love and care, but to me? Nah the look in Jasper's eyes was one of annoyance not love, and the midget-pixie-bitch-called-Alice? She just seemed downright pissed half of the time, how anyone could mistake a look of fury for one of love I don't know. It just never really seemed right that they were together. Surely they couldn't have been soul mates? But then again there is no way that they were soul mates just because the whole cheating thing isn't very soul mate-y, then again this is Alice she probably predicted that it would be for the best and so went along with it anyway.

See that was another thing, how did Alice not see me coming or if she did then why didn't they stop? Did she just want the secrecy to be over? But if that was the case then why did they not just come straight out and say it? Why let me find out like that? ARGH so many damn questions that will never be answered. It just doesn't make sense to me.

This last year had seen us far away from forks. I took far longer than the average vampire to change. I was in that hell hole for two weeks and it was literally hell. From the moment the fire took over spreading through my body I was unable to move. I could not scream or anything. The fire continued to torture my body for the next two weeks and I couldn't hear anything. But even the pain of the fire was not what hurt me the most. I truly felt like Jasper had betrayed me, lied to me. He had never mentioned any of this, nor did he mention that I would have to relive every human memory and find all of my flaws. I know now that I was the only know vampire to have ever gone through all of that but at the time I didn't and it was horrible.

My change wasn't the only 'weird' thing about me. I had more than one extra ability and was apparently the most powerful vampire in existence. Ant thought that that was why my change had taken so long, because I had the extra abilities. You see whilst I was sub-consciously going through my human memories it seems that I was finding my flaws to find abilities, like I was meant to be powerful and the venom was making me flawless by giving me extra abilities.

My abilities were ridiculous not only were all of my senses stronger aswell as my streangth but I also had every ability know to vampires accept for Alice's, and Edward's gifts and to be honest I was grateful, they were gifts I really did not want.

I was nearing the house, well mansion now and could feel that something was not right. There was no noise. Only silence. I could smell five other vampires and feel their emotions, fear of me. They couldn't even hear me yet and already they were afraid. I felt around for their gifts. Hmm interesting, it appeared that the Volturi were here. But why?

I walked in to the house, glancing around.

'You know Aro hiding won't do you any good, you can come out from behind the sofa, you to Felix, Jane, Alec, Heidi.' They nervously stepped out from where they were hiding, for god's sake they are meant to be vampires did they not realise that I would be able to smell them from miles off. 'Where are my parents?' Aro smiled darkly.

'Isabella, I see immortality suits you well.'

'Cut the chase.' I growled, what was with this creep?

'They have decided to join the Volturi, will you?'

I thought about this as a family we had been considering this for the last three months, it was something we all wanted.

'Yes, on one condition. Jane stops trying to use her power on me, it won't work. Felix stops lusting after me, it won't happen,' He looked away sheepishly at this while the others laughed, 'You too Alec,' now he looked embarrassed. 'I get to carry on with my animal diet. That is all.' Aro stepped forward.

'I agree, welcome to the Volturi Miss Swan.'
