Chapter 2

BPOV

184 years later – yeah, that's right. I said 184 years later – and I live with my family; My daughter, Miranda (Mimi), her husband Matthew (Matt), Skyler, her husband Tyrone (Tai), and Thomas. We all had supernatural gifts because we are vampires – not 'Count Dracula' vampires, but 'vegetarian' ones, we refuse to feed on humans. Mimi is an empath; she can sense, control and channel emotions. She also is an elemental, manipulator of an element, Mimi controls earth. Matt is telekinetic and a tracker. Skyler can control the weather, while Tai can create and control fire. Thomas is telepathic, telekinetic and can see the future, and I can create force fields for physical or mental defense and I can shapeshift into an animal – well, only three; a white tiger, a wolf and a fox.

We just finished packing our stuff and are on the road to our new house in Forks, Washington. When we got to the small town I loved it. It reminded me of my time with Jasper, my happy time as a human. My cell phone rang and brought me out of my nostalgic mood.

"Mom? Why are you feeling so happy? It's making me giddy."

"It's this place. It reminds me of being human with your father." I admitted.

When we reached our house Mimi loved it, as it was surrounded by a forest. It was a three story house, or a miny mansion as Matt calls it.

"Okay guys. We need to hunt tonight, as we start school tomorrow. But, first we need a background story; I will be Isabella Whitlock, but people will call me Izzy, my cousins Mimi, Tai and Thomas Swan and Matt and Skyler Chase." I informed them.

"Okay! Let's go hunting. I'm starving." Tai exclaimed. And with that the six of us ran into the forest. After thirty minutes of hunting, and satisfying my thirst, I caught the sickly sweet scent of a vampire. Two vampires. Thomas. I smell a vampire. I'm going to stop it from killing a human. I projected to him. Do you need any help? He asked. No. I ran following the scent until I heard footsteps behind me. I was about to turn around when a large vampire tackled me to the ground.

"Who are you? And why were you following us?" A female voice chimed from behind me.

"I'm Bella Whitlock. Me and my family just moved here. I caught your scent and thought you were hunting a human, so I followed you."

"Hang on! Your name is Bella Whitlock? And your husband is Jasper Whitlock and your brother is Emmet Swan?" The man who tackled me asked.

"How do you know who I am?"

Then he did something unexpected. He pulled me into a painfully familiar bear hug.

"Emmet?" I asked unsure.

"Yep!"

"Emmet! I thought you were dead!" I screamed.

He cowered behind the female – who I presumed was his mate – and whimpered.

"Hi. I'm Rosalie Hale. I'm Emmet's wife. And we don't hunt humans. We hunt animals. You said you had a family. Where are they?"

"They're out hunting. So Emmet. Mister 'I'm not gonna get married'. How ya been?"

"Great, come on. You have got to meet my family."

"Okay. I'd love to meet the people who took care of my brother."

Emmet ran and told me to follow him, I did. And a minute later we were outside an amazing white house.

"It's beautiful." I said absentmindedly.

"Why, thank you." A new voice said. I looked around to see where it came from. There stood three people.

"Hello, I'm Bella."

"I'm Esme. This is my son Edward and his wife Alice."

The girl called Alice ran over to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Bella! I'm so happy to meet you."

"To meet who Alice?" A familiar voice called from behind me. I turned around and there stood a man who was like my father – Carlisle Cullen.

"Carlisle!" I screamed and threw myself at him.

"Bella? I've missed you." He told me hugging me tightly. "Where's Mimi and Matt? I'd love to see them again." He said smiling.

"We're here Dad!" Mimi stated from behind him. She ran over to Carlisle and hugged him tightly.

"Hello, Carlisle." Matt said.

"Matt. I hope you're looking after my girls." He said gesturing towards myself and Mimi.

Emmet then moved over to Mimi and picked her up in one of his lethal hugs.

"Mom! Who the hell is this?!" She yelled.

"That, sweetheart. Is your uncle Emmet." I said and Emmet stood there frozen.

"What did she call you?" He said in a strained voice.

"She's my daughter. When you and Jasper left, I was pregnant."

"Oh – My – God," He said slowly. Then he smiled, "I'm an uncle!" He shouted lifting me up and spinning me around.

"Who's an uncle?" A husky but heavenly voice asked. I instantly stiffened and Emmet put me down on my feet. I turned around to meet the topaz eyes of my husband. He stood there shock evident on his face.

"Bella?" He asked, worried that it wasn't.

"Hello Jasper." I said. If I was human I would be crying. Before I could do anything else his lips were locked on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, while he grabbed my waist and held me to his chest.

"Mom!" "Bella!" Mimi and Emmet screamed.

Jasper then broke the kiss and stared at Mimi, "What... did she call you?" He stuttered. "Jasper. This is your daughter Miranda Emily Whitlock."
