Chapter 2
Bella, 20 years later:
Life has been a bliss. I now call Aro Father or Daddy. He's been nicer than any of the Volturi. People in Forks think Isabella Marie Swan is dead. I am, however, Isabella Marie Volturi, Princess, and Angel of Death. I am responsible for delivering death to any vampire who wishes it, or breaks the rule, or to any human who finds out the truth. I have copied some 40 powers from vampires who came alone as well as the guard.
I even have a throne in the throne room, though I don't really bother sitting on it.
I also have my own power: the ability to change appearences.
So, I'm not just a guard. I'm head of the guards. I also developed a good sister relationship with Jane, Heidi, and all the other female guards. I also was friendly to the wives of Caius and Aro. I also found my mate. Uncle Marcus (I call him Uncle) told me I was true mates to Alec. We officially confessed of our love, and Father has given me and Alec a blessing for becoming mates.
Edward probably thinks I'm dead. I don't care. Ever since I got turned into a vampire, I have a more mahogany colored hair, pale skin, and of course red eyes, as I've been drinking from humans the whole time.
I was called down to see Aro.
"Yes, Father?" I asked him.
"Ah, Isabella, dear. I have a mission for you. It seems as if your old boyfriend Edward has a knack for finding human girlfriends. He's told this human everything of his existance. Well, I need you to go to Rochester, NY, where he is right now with the rest of the Cullens, and either change the human, or kill her. Understand?" asked Aro.
"Yes, Father," I replied and bowed. "Also, I don't need any guards to help unless I call. If I call, I want Felix and Demetri."
Aro nodded his head. He gave me whatever guards I needed. I changed my appearence to a young girl with brunette hair and golden eyes. I needed them to not think I was dangerous, and have them reveal everything to me. Then, I looked like what Bella would look like if she became a vampire. That would surely get Edward to reveal everything to me.
Then, I will have the proof to come and kill her. I also blocked out Alice's vision seeing so she wouldn't see me coming. Finally, I transported myself to his home.
Edward, Rochester, NY:
It's been 20 years. Life has been terrible. My Bella is dead. That's right, dead. I wanted her to live a full human life, yet she gets herself killed. She was only 17 when she died. I remember when I went to see Charlie after I couldn't stand not being with my Bella. In fact, the whole family moved back to Forks.
Charlie told me that Bella left all because of me. I just wanted her to live a full human life, yet she left! 2 weeks later, we find out that she got killed in a car accident in Seattle. Why would my Bella be in Seattle in the first place? I wish I never left her in the first place.
Even Alice didn't see her dying. If she did, we could have stopped her before she died. But it was my fault. I made Alice promise to not look in Bella's future, so she didn't bother to look.
We moved to Rochester, NY, Rosalie's old hometown. We haven't been there since we found Rose a long time ago. Rosalie felt that it was time to go back to there.
At school, I met a girl. She had brunette hair just like my Bella. What made me drawn to her is the fact that she has chocolate brown eyes, just like my Bella. However, I can't read her thoughts, just like Bella, and she is somewhat the opposite of Bella. She doesn't mind shopping with Rose and Alice. Also, she found out what I was, and like my Bella, wants to become a vampire to live with me forever. However, this girl is not my singer. I don't feel for her blood. Maybe she is Bella's reincarnation, since she looks so much like my Bella.
What made me even more drawn to her is that her name is Isabelle, and she prefers to be called Belle, and she is now 18. That is one step closer to Bella. My Bella.
Carlisle and Esme encouraged me to move on, though it was painful to be with anyone other than Bella. They understood my pain but want me to be happy instead of moping around upset for the next century. They think I will be happy with Belle. However, Belle is not the same as Bella.
Rosalie actually doesn't mind Belle and Alice absolutely adores her since she saw in her future, ever since Bella died, that Belle and I will live blissfully forever. Though it was painful for Alice to lose her best friend Bella, she has managed to move on and make Belle her new best friend.
Jasper still isn't forgiving himself for almost killing Bella, but he isn't as drawn to Belle's blood, so he approves of Belle, that is to put it mildly.
Emmett also likes Belle as his new favorite sister. To put it mildly, my family approves of Belle, though they are still upset over what I did to make Bella die.
Belle visited me one day. I decided to propose. I would not lose Belle as I did Bella. I will make Belle my forever, and not hurt her like I did Bella. I will not make the same mistake. I got down on one knee.
"Isabelle, I promise to love you everyday of our forever. Would you give me the honor of becoming my wife?" I asked her.
"YES!" she screamed and hugged me. Unlike Bella, Belle actually wanted a ring more modern and liked me getting her lavish gifts. I bought her an engagement ring from Tiffany's instead of giving her my mother's ring. She admired her ring.
Alice came running down. "Belle! I heard you and Edward are engaged! Esme and I really want to plan your wedding! Pretty please?" she asked. "I saw in your future, Belle, that I will be planning the wedding!" Alice was jumping up and down.
"Yes, Alice! I would love the wedding to be planned by you!" cried Belle. I'm sure Bella would've wanted something simpler, like just a quick trip to Las Vegas. She is so different personality wise from Bella, yet physically she looks the same as Bella.
I didn't tell her about my Bella for fear that she might hate me. However, after Carlisle told Belle of the Volturi, I'm afraid that they might find out the truth and that Belle is still human. I needed to change her quicker.
"Love," I began to Belle. "Belle, love, when do you want to be changed?" I asked. I was going to offer Belle vampirism. I wasn't going to refuse like I did Bella. That almost got us killed and risk getting the Volturi involved. Plus, this was what made me leave Bella, hurt her, and ultimately cause her to die. I didn't want this to happen to Belle. Though I didn't really feel for Belle as strongly as I did Bella, I still wanted her to be happy with me. I didn't want her to hurt like I did Bella.
"Edward, can we do it after we get married? I don't want to have that newborn lust year during our wedding. I want to be able to control myself and drink animal blood," said Belle.
Her voice sounded sweet, yet it wasn't Bella's voice. In my head, I told myself to stop beating myself for Bella and start moving on. It was what Bella would've wanted me to do.
"Anything, love. Now, go to sleep," I said, and hummed Bella's Lullaby. I told her it was Belle's Lullaby and that she was the one that inspired me to write it.
Suddenly, Alice came into the room. "Belle, wake up! Edward, you too. A girl is here. She also has golden eyes! I think she wants to be one of us. Though funny thing is, I didn't see her coming," said Alice.
"Come on, love," I told Belle and gently carried her to the couch where the girl was. When I got there, I froze. She had brunette hair and golden eyes. She looked like my Bella. Knowing Bella, I probably should've guessed that she would become a vampire and drink animal blood. Where was her coven?
Alice had a huge smile on her face. "Belle, Edward, meet Bella. Bella, meet Edward and his fiancee Belle," said Alice.
"Bella?" I asked, frozen on the spot. It couldn't be my Bella, yet could it be? Maybe it was just a coincidence.
"Hi, Edward. I still remember when you decided to LEAVE me in the forest!" accused Bella. No! It can't be! My Bella is dead! Charlie said so. She died 20 years ago in a car crash. I couldn't read the girl's mind. Could it be Bella?
"Edward, love?" asked my Belle. "What's happening? Who's Bella?"
"No one, love," I told her gently. "She was just someone I loved before you. Of course, I love you, and only you."
Belle relaxed. I guessed that she must be really jealous that Bella, who is now a vampire, could compete with her.
"Well, Belle, Edward was my boyfriend before he left me to die in the forest. I got changed by Victoria! Then, I wandered throughout the world as a nomad. Finally, I settled down with the Denali," said Bella.
"Edward, you never told me that," said Belle.
Finally, Carlisle spoke, "Bella, why did you make everyone think you're dead? Everyone in Forks thought you died in a car crash in Seattle."
"Well, I could hardly ever just waltz up to Forks with my new appearence. What would people think? So, I faked my death," said Bella.
"Well, now that you're here, Bella, what is your power?" I asked.
"I am a mental shield," said Bella. That explains why I couldn't read her. "After you left, it just hurt. I started hunting animals."
"Then why didn't you come back to me? Bella, love, I missed you," I said sincerely.
I saw Belle tense and run out the door crying. "Well, you hurt me, so I could hardly ever just come back. Now I did, because Tanya made me!" Bella said. "Go see your fiancee. She seems very sad," Bella said, pointing to the door.
I ran after Belle.
"Go away!" she screamed when she saw me.
"Belle, love, I only said that because I missed her. You know I love you and only you. I used to love her. Well, guess what, I no longer love her. It was just surprising, a girl who everyone thought was dead shows up alive again. Believe me, I moved on from her. I love you," I said gently and kissed her.
Belle seemed to forgive me, and I brought her back to the house.
Bella:
I arrived and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" trilled a voice I recognized as Alice's.
She opened the door. When she saw me, she gasped. "Bella?"
"Yes, Alice, it is me," I said. Though I didn't want to be here, I had to, for the sake of Aro. Then, I could go back to Alec.
"Come in!" she cried. I saw her run upstairs.
Belle, wake up! Edward, you too. A girl is here. She also has golden eyes! I think she wants to be one of us. Though funny thing is, I didn't see her coming," screamed Alice. I guessed this Belle was the girl I was supposed to kill.
"Come on, love," Edward told Belle. When he got to where I was, he froze.
Alice had a huge smile on her face. "Belle, Edward, meet Bella. Bella, meet Edward and his fiancee Belle," said Alice.
"Bella?" Edward asked, frozen on the spot.
"Hi, Edward. I still remember when you decided to LEAVE me in the forest!" I accused. Though I no longer have any feelings for Edward, I still wanted to mess with him. He needed to get me information so I could kill the human.
"Edward, love?" asked Belle. "What's happening? Who's Bella?"
"No one, love," Edward told her gently. "She was just someone I loved before you. Of course, I love you, and only you." It didn't bothered me because Alec was waiting for me at Volterra.
Belle relaxed. I guessed that she must be really jealous that I showed up.
"Well, Belle, Edward was my boyfriend before he left me to die in the forest. I got changed by Victoria! Then, I wandered throughout the world as a nomad. Finally, I settled down with the Denali," I lied.
"Edward, you never told me that," said Belle.
Finally, Carlisle spoke, "Bella, why did you make everyone think you're dead? Everyone in Forks thought you died in a car crash in Seattle."
"Well, I could hardly ever just waltz up to Forks with my new appearence. What would people think? So, I faked my death," I told him. 20 years ago, with the help of Alec, Demetri, and Aro, I did fake my death.
"Well, now that you're here, Bella, what is your power?" Edward asked.
"I am a mental shield," I told him. I wasn't going to reveal my other powers. "After you left, I started hunting animals," I lied to him. I hunted humans, not animals, and right now, Belle had a nice smell. However, I had very good control and only hunted during Feeding Time.
"Then why didn't you come back to me? Bella, love, I missed you," Edward said sincerely. Well, after all these years, I wouldn't imagine Edward still drawn to me.
I saw Belle tense and run out the door crying. "Well, you hurt me, so I could hardly ever just come back. Now I did, because Tanya made me!" I said. "Go see your fiancee. She seems very sad," I said, pointing to the door.
Edward ran after Belle.
"So," I said to the rest of the family. "Who is Belle?"
"Well," began Alice. "Belle is this girl that Edward met in Rochester. She looked so much like you, Bella, when you were human. Edward couldn't read her mind either. Those two were drawn to each other. Edward doesn't plan on changing her until after the wedding, so I hope the Volturi won't come after her.
I mentally smirked. I was Volturi. "Why did Edward propose?" I asked.
"Edward didn't want to lose her as he did you, so he proposed," said Alice.
"Thanks, Alice," I said. Then, I made my eyes look black. "I have to hunt!" I cried.
"Sure, Bella," said Alice. "We all hunted already, so won't be coming."
Esme said, "Bella, I truly missed you."
"I missed you too, Esme," I told her sincerely.
I headed out the door so I could call Aro and change back to normal.
