Chapter Five

BPOV

Once upon A time, there was a princess...

Silver light poured into the room, and gently woke me from a deep sleep. As I glanced at the window, I noticed It was a dense, gray morning. The air swept heavily with an uneasy feeling, as a storm curdled the air outside. I could feel the relief rise in my chest as the weather glared back at me. Bright weather always meant Joshua would be inside all day, saying there was no need to be outside to...hunt or track when it was sunny because they, whoever they was, couldn't go in the sunlight, because they would glitter like crystal. My father confused me that way. He talked about things I never really understood.

I lay under heavy blanks that cloak my porcelain figure. Or, maybe it wasn't pale anymore; Yellow, from all the healing bruises, or purple, from the new ones, even pink; the faint scars that marred my chest and arms. I wished I didn't have to live this life; a life, where I never knew when the next beating would palette my body into a sick new shade of torture. I flinched. No need to think about him Bella, I reminded myself. Joshua would be in a good mood today...Who was I kidding? Things never changed.

Rubbing my eyes in a circular-like motion, I took a deep, heavy breath and let out a sigh of hope. I was right. It wouldn't change, and there was nothing I could do to convince myself that it would. I has been like this for a long time, as long as I can remember.

Still half asleep, I forced my eyes towards the small, square window that centered the left side of my bedroom wall. My eyes followed its structure, closely glaring at its every detail and that of the material that heavily dressed it. The striking of raindrops against the window peered through the gray material, refracting a pattern similar to that of tinted crystals, in all directions across the room. Unaware of the time, I struggled free from the blankets and quickly sat up. Dizziness struck my head for a few moments, and then suddenly vanished, along with the dreaded thoughts that questioned my mind. Kicking the blankets away, I swung my legs sharply until they hung off the side of the bed. I sat quietly for a few moments whilst my head darted toward the floor, and my eyes awoken from their slumber.

With a very sad, slumped posture, I trudged to the door, and poked my head out to check if Joshua was there. Nope. I continued my journey, and took a step foreward, before realizing, 'Joshua doesn't have wood flooring in his house...'

Everything came flooding back to me In a flash of brightness and color. Scarred, doctor, Cullens...Sam. Sam and...Emily...wait. I'm not at Joshua's I'm...at...

With new found giddiness, I scampered down the hall, and into the light oak kitchen, where Emily stood, a frying pan in her hand, and that familiar smile on her face as she swatted Paul's hand away from one, untouched plate as he tried to grab a piece of bacon. i rolled my eyes. That boy would do anything for food. Emily then grinned accusingly at Nessie, who was now chewing a piece of bacon, when Paul now had one missing. It's funny how, even when she tried to be strict and angry, she wound up smiling and doing that loving look toward them. I admired her for it.

Around Emily were all the boys (Plus Leah, Kim, Claire, and Nessie), stuffing there faces and poking fun at each other. It was something I thought only existed in a really bad episode of 'Friends'. I leaned against the wall of the kitchen in awe, admiring the huge family in front of me. I smiled, and giggled to myself quietly as Paul snatched a piece of bacon off of Embry's plate. At the slight noise, I saw Collin's crazy head of spiky black hair pop up, and turn toward me.

"Mornin' Bella." He smiled sweetly at me, and fumbled with his hands. "I hope you slept well- Ah! Paul! Give me that!" His cute little greeting was interupted by Paul's grimy hands snatching a piece of Collin's bacon. The man has got a bacon problem...

"Ahh. That's how I am greeted in the morning, with Paul stealing everyones bacon? Love you too guys!" I shook my head, and let out a tiny giggle. A few others chuckled at my poor attempt of sarcasm. I made my way for Emily, and, as Nessie began to buzz about a new fashion she was trying out, and Jacob babbled about how pretty she was and how she didn't need to change herself, I gathered my sister in for a hug. Shocked, Emily patted my back lovingly. Warmth just radiated from her skin, unlike Joshua, who's temperature was hot, but touches, Icy and painful.

In that split second, when I looked around, and Felt Emily's arms around me, I knew. i knew that this was my family. It felt good to be here, with all of them smiling, surrounding me. Almost too good, because it practically hurt to love a family so much. It created a sweeling heart, like in the Grinch, 'his heart grew three sizes' er whatever the quote was.

"Hey Bella! guess what babe?" I heard Brady yell, and then another pair of arms surrounded me, followed by a few more. In the middle, I stood, confused as hell, and wondering why everyone was hugging me. I raised an eyebrow at Emily, who also looked confused, but laughed with freedome, and yelled,

"Everyone! get off of poor Bella here! She is going to suffocate!"

After about three minutes of laughing and trying to untangle each other, I, still fucking confused as ever, turned to Brady with a cautious face. His eyes were smiling at me, but his mouth was turned into a straight line. Brady never was really good at that. His eyes were like an open book. He was going to do something, and I knew it by the way his eyes just gleamed with a happy tint. He never answered my silent question, but

"SECRET HANDSHAKE!" We yelled in unison. I jumped up to smack his hand, and as I did, right before my hand reached his, I noticed a large, purple bruise going all the way around my wrist, and up my hand. Brady obviously did not notice this, and slammed his hand into mine with force. I heard an echoing cracking sound smack off the walls, and I screamed.

"Ouch! God FUCKING DAMMIT!" I whipped my hand away, and it ended up slamming into the glass cabinets behind me. The blood was just pouring out of my hand, and I was screaming my mouth off. Collin immediately rushed over to inspect my bloody hand, and, with worried eyes, scanned my face, Which felt hot, and wet. Shit...I was crying again. as Collin saw my tears, he whipped around and glared at Quil, who was looking like he was about to shit his pants. Sam stepped in between the two, right as Collin dove at him.

"Nessie! Take Bella to Dr. Blakelee!" Yelled Sam, who was now restraining Collin from killing Quil. I was still blubbering, Her eyes never left my purple-red bruise and the blood that scorched my skin. I saw her eyes visibly darken at the sight. I withdrew What was she thinking? Her lips lifted slightly over her pearly white teeth, and Jacob touched her shoulder. Her breathing paused, and she dove into the drivers seat as Jacob lifted me in the back. I think I just missed something?

Jacob sat next to me, and I cried into his shirt at the pain of my hand, which was strange for me. I didn't usually cry around people i knew well, let alone someone I just met yesterday...

I found out two things that car ride. One, Nessie was a fucking speed demon, and two, Jacob was...like the big brother I never had. His words were soothing and soft, and his touch was kind and warm, like Emilly's, and like Sam's. I felt like I was finally Treading this water of a family instead of drowning.

It didn't take long before we arrived at forks hospital. I didn't get why we were even at Forks. Shouldn't we be at La Push? I shook the thought out of my head as Jacob took me inside, and began setting up an appointment for me. Nessie led me down into a chair, and ignored looking at my hand at all costs. We began talking a little, but i was sobbing my brains out. Nessie's words were stiff and uncomfortable. I heard a door fly open, and in the doorway, was-

"Carlisle?" His head whipped around to look at me. I was right. His golden eyes stared at me in amazement. Behind him, Alice stepped out, her pale Kitten face supporting a hug, excited grin. Just as I was about to greet her also, and ask why the hell they were even here in Forks, Nessie's amazed voice broke out. She stepped forward, and looked up at carlisle with large innocent eyes.

"Daddy?"

AN-Oh my! I left ya hanging! ;) Is it true? Is carlisle Nessie's real father? the one she hasn't seen fr so long? and why in the world can't she see blood? =o

For anyone who didn't read the AN at the top, whoever reviews will get a sneak peak to the next chapter!

TTFN,

Crazed
