Chapter 4: The Story That Explained It All

BPOV

We arrived at the Cullen's house. It was extremely large like their one in Forks. Beautiful, too. I took a deep breath as we slowed to a walk up to the house. I felt Chase's hand on my back and looked up to see her smiling at me. Nick was on my other side. I slowly walked up the steps and into their house. Edward called everyone down before I walked in. I had heard him say before I got there, "I've got a little surprise. Someone we ran into on our hunting trip tonight." I walked in.

"BELLA!?" I heard the chorus ring, all of them dumbstruck at the sight of me.

"H-Hi, everyone…" I said, "I know you're all really confused. So I guess I'll just start explaining." I looked around. Esme looked at me with shocked eyes at first but then looked at me with love and kindness. Carlisle looked relived. I guess he thought I might be someone else. Emmett looked excited, at least someone still liked me, even after 50 years. Rosalie still just looked dumbstruck. That I could deal with. Looking at Jasper I felt shock but it soon turned to a wave of calm as he smiled at me. Alice looked at me with encouragement as did Nick and Chase. Edward didn't look at me; he just stared at the floor. I started to tell my long story.

"Well, when you all left Forks, I basically turned into a zombie. I finally resurfaced sometime in January and I went to see my friend Jacob Black. I started to get a lot better when I was with him. It was kind of like he was my personal little sun. It still hurt that you had left, but it wasn't always so hard when I was with him. It was easier. Then Jake started acting strange. He wouldn't talk to me and he had a new crowd of friends. People who he had said he didn't like and didn't want anything to do with before. It all just made me confused. I don't know what happened to him. But he just acted really weird. But before he had changed, we had tried to find the meadow that Edward had taken me to a year ago. I had to go there, just to see if you were all real. Well we hadn't gotten to the meadow before he stopped talking to me. So one day I tried to find it. I found it. I stayed there for a good couple of hours and when I went to go home, I ran into someone. Laurent. He told me that he had been staying in Denali with Tanya as you had suggested. He also said that he had met up with… V-Victoria again." I paused there to see their shocked faces. Edward's head snapped up to look at me when I said Victoria's name. I decided to go on.

"Well, he told me that she kinda held a grudge against me. Because Edward killed James. He said she thought it a better trade to kill me instead of Edward. Mate for mate. But, or so he thought, luckily for me, he went back to Forks to check everything out and was really thirsty. So this would be a much better death according to Laurent. He would make it fast. He said that Victoria was planning a long and extremely painful death for me. Then he came at me and bit me. He started to drink my blood when he was attacked by wolves. I didn't understand. They left me alone and went after him. Because he stopped drinking my blood, the venom started to work. 

And there in the woods I went through the three day transformation. When I woke up, the first thing I did was hunt for animals. When I felt less thirsty, I ran. I ran up to Canada where I ran into Nick and Chase. They weren't vegetarians but they enjoyed company. So when they came across me they wanted to take me in and help. That's when I told them about the way you live. How we could live off animal blood and settle in and live amongst humans. They were reluctant at first but they agreed." I stopped. I didn't know how much they wanted to know. That's when Rosalie spoke,

"But, you died. They said you were killed by wolves or something. We all went to your funeral. There was no body because the wolves had taken it or eaten it or whatever but still. You-you died." She said. I was completely shocked. They came to my funeral! Why in the world would they come to my funeral? They didn't care about me. Or at least Edward didn't. Rose said that they all went, that means Edward. Carlisle and Esme probably made him. That would be the only way he could ever go. But, still. Even if Carlisle and Esme made him go, he I know that he didn't care, like the others seemed to. Even Rose. She seemed like she cared enough to go to my funeral. I knew she never really liked me but I didn't think she wanted me dead.

"Well, after a couple of weeks. We planned how to fake my death. We made it look like wolves had killed me. We were having a problem with these really large wolves in the forest at the time. So that story was believable. I felt so bad when I saw Charlie. It almost killed him but, I had to do it. I asked Nick and Chase if we could leave before the funeral. I didn't want to see who would be there. I didn't need to know who I was hurting and leaving behind. And then we moved into a house in Montana. And I took on Nick's old last name so I could start going to school, as Isabella Bailey. You know, keep up appearances. And we've been moving around just like you. So, yeah… that's it." I finished. I couldn't look at anyone and I didn't know why.

"Do you have any powers? I mean you've gotta!" said Emmett. He was the only one who didn't look shocked. Even Alice and Edward were speechless. Alice speechless, that is a rare thing to find.

"Yeah, when I want to, I can block any power. Like I could block Alice's power if I wanted to. My future would disappear. I can also attract other vampires' powers whenever I want. No matter the distance. And Chase can see the future like Alice, and Nick is telekinetic."

"Wait, so like, you could take one of the Volturi's powers? Like you could take Jane's?" asked Emmett with excitement in his eyes.

"Yeah, I could take any one of their powers. I could take Aro's power but, he would know if he didn't have his power. And I'd rather not have the Volturi after me." I said with a small smile. I looked around. Everyone seemed to have come out of their shocked state. Except Edward. He probably was upset that I was now in their lives again. Well, I didn't have to be. I would stay a little bit and be on my way. Just how he wants it.

"So how long are you guys planning on staying in the area?" asked Esme. The question took me by surprise. I had no idea what to say. I quickly looked at Chase for help.



"Well, we actually have a house a little north of here. We moved in about a year ago so we'll stay for a couple more years." Said Chase. Before they felt like they had to make friends with us I decided to say something.

"Listen, I know that you guys don't really want me here so, we'll be out of here soon. You won't see me again. I won't intrude anymore." I turned to leave when I felt a hand on my shoulder stopping me. I looked up.

Sorry! Cliffhanger, I know. But I thought what happens next would be best in a whole new chapter. Please review though! And thank you for all that have!
