I Know What I Am
Our quiet time, your beautiful mind
They're all part of the list
Things that I miss
Things like your funny little laugh
Or the way that you smile
Or the way that we kiss
Part Of The List- Ne Yo

Chapter 3: Part Of The List

"Right, now are you sure you want to do this?" Esmerelda asked. I sighed, we'd been having the same conversation for three months, it always ended with me getting annoyed and storming off.
They had been putting off going back to Forks for a while now. I finally won the argument and was now allowed back to Edward, back to home.
"Of course I'm sure, I have to see him even if I can't speak to him I don't care!" I pleaded.
"Yes but Bella we've been through this you will care, that's all a part of who we are, what we are. If you do talk to him and believe me you will." Alexis started as she saw that I was about to interrupt. "You cannot let him realise that you are you. He's already going to be suspicious because you look a little similar, you smell the same and your name is Bella."
"Well no crap Sherlock, I'm going to get people to call me Isabella, something human me would never have done. I'm already dressing differently and I have piercings and tattoos, human me would never do that plus I'm even wearing make-up. As for my scent, well I can't do anything about that but still, the Cullens will just think it's a coincidence." I said the last part uneasily.
I knew Edward wasn't that dumb, Emmett might believe it but I'm pretty sure Alice will see straight through me. Rosalie still wouldn't care and Jasper will sense my emotions immediately. It would be a little strange for the new girl to have such a strong love for Edward when I'd 'never met him before'.
"We do support you honey, we just don't want to see you get like mom. You might be too young to remember what she was like when Charlie left her but we do, she was broken. Our kind can't live without our singers once we've found them." Esmerelda smiled. I hugged her and carried on packing my things.
Seth came up a short while later with Giacobbe and they carried my bags to the car. The boys were taking our horses in their trailer and the girls were driving in my Mercedes A 160, it was a sky blue and very cute, very girly. It was so much better than that horrible brick I used to drive. (A.N: On profile)

We pulled up in front of a huge house! As I walked in I felt overwhelmed by the sheer size of the place, it was like walking into the Cullen home for the first time. Each one of us had our own floor with its own bathroom and spare bedroom.
I ran up to my bedroom, typical, the top floor. I walked through the door and was amazed. The landing was so light, so bright but once you stepped into my bedroom it was a different world.
There was a scarlet red feature wall, the rest were cream. I had a dark red fluffy carpet with a cream rug. The bed was king-sized with a big warm bedding. On the wall was a large plasma television and on the bed was a white apple laptop. I smiled to myself, my sisters knew me so well. I walked over and sat down, this bed was as comfy as I'd thought.
"BELLA, GET THAT CUTE LITTLE BUTT OF YOURS DOWN THESE STAIRS NOW!" Alexis shouted from the living room. I rolled my eyes and flew down the stairs, I would have to get used to this new-found gracefulness.
I was just about to open the door when Seth beat me to it.
"Haha, I was just on my way to order pizza, what do you want?" He chuckled.
"Oh, I'll just have pepperoni thanks." I laughed as I brushed past him and took a seat in the big, soft armchair.
"Did you want me for something?" I asked the girls.
"Yeah stupid, its your turn to pick a film this week." Esmerelda said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh and don't pick something like The Lord Of The Rings because those films go on for ages, we've got school tomorrow." Alexis reminded me.
"Umm... Drop Dead Fred then." I just picked a random one from the shelf before sitting back in my chair. I started thinking about school tomorrow.
Would Edward be there? Would he recognise me, would any of the Cullens recognise me? What would happen if they did recognise me? What would I say?
All these questions floated around in my mind, blocking all other thoughts. I was so busy daydreaming about school tomorrow that I didn't even realise that Seth was wafting a pizza in my face.
"Oh, sorry Seth." I smiled half-heartedly and took the pizza from him.
I didn't really pay attention throughout the film, I laughed in all the right places but I inside I was a nervous wreck. Oh, what I'd give to have Jasper here right now. I'd called him my comfort blanket. This had made him laugh. I sighed quietly.
I couldn't stop thinking about going to school tomorrow, I didn't even know if people would accept me now. It was like being the new girl all over again.
"Well, I'm off to bed now." I yawned as the credits flashed.
"Night." Everyone chorused.
I dragged myself up the stairs to my room and collapsed on top of the covers. I tugged off my jeans and just lay there staring at the ceiling. I could shower in the morning. I tossed and turned waiting for sleep to overcome me but all I could see was Edward. I could even smell that intoxicating aroma that always seemed to follow him.

Chirp, chirp, chirp
What the hell was that awful chirping sound? I opened my eyes an infinitesimal amount, there was no sunlight coming through the cracks in the curtains, what were the bloody birds doing up at this hour? I rolled over and pulled the covers over my head, trying to block out the sound.
Suddenly something heavy pounced on top of me. I screamed and sat bolt upright. A huge collie dog was sat on my bed wagging it's tail at me, it seemed as though it was laughing at me.
The dog then became replaced by Esmerelda who was rolling around, laughing at me.
"Haha Bells, the look on your face!" She gasped. I scowled at her.
"That's not funny, what did you wake me up for?" I demanded.
A loud chirp sounded right in my ear. I screamed again and slapped my shoulder. A tiny robin fluttered out of the reach of my hand. A few moments later Alexis stood on my floor giggling at my silliness.
"How are you both doing that?" I wondered.
"Oh you can do it too honey. Now that you're one of us." Esmerelda smiled when she'd calmed herself down.
"You see, each one of us has our own animal morph type... for example, I have different types of dog for mine and Alexis has different types of bird for hers." She continued.
"So what, you're like a rough collie but you can also be a dalmatian?" I asked.
"No, no, I mean Different types as in, ones that live in towns, ones that live in the wild and domesticated ones." She tried to explain but I just wasn't getting it. She sighed.
"How can I explain this? Okay, my morphs are a wolf which is wild, an African wild dog which is also wild, I then have a fox which is a type of dog that comes from the town or city and my last morph is a rough collie dog which is domesticated. They are all canines that can fit into any landscape. So if I live in the forest I can be a wolf, if I'm in the city I can be a fox, if I'm in the savannah I can be the wild dog and if I'm just on the street around houses then I can be the rough collie." She said.
"Oh, I understand now." I laughed. She shook her head.
"What are your morphs?" I looked at Alexis. She smiled.
"I am a dove, a toucan, a golden eagle and a robin. If I'm the dove then I can be in the forest, if I'm the robin then I can live around homes, if I'm the eagle then I can be in the mountains and if I'm the toucan then I can live around the rainforests." She exclaimed.
"What am I then?" I felt really dopey asking all these questions.
"You my dear, are feline, your morphs are a mountain lion, a house cat, a tiger and a cheetah. That is why our tattoos are as they are." Esmerelda told me, pointing at her chest.
I pulled my pyjama top down a little and looked at the tiny tiger on the top of my breast, Esmerelda had a wolf and Alexis had a cute bird, both in the same place. It made sense now. (A.N: All pics on profile)
"Oh yeah, did you both wake me up to show off or were there other reasons, it's..." I looked at the clock. "Not even six a.m. yet and here I am awake."
"We need you to go to Charlie's house and ask him what he's told everyone about you, where you went, if you're coming back. We just need to know so that we can get our story right. So far we're just three sister's coming to a new school but if Charlie has said something else then we'll have to change that." Alexis told me. I nodded, grabbed my car keys and walked out of the door.
As I pulled up outside the house that I had long ago not called home, I realised that this would probably be the last time I ever entered this house.
I stood on the porch and tentatively knocked on the door, he was home, the cruiser was here. Not a moment later Charlie answered looking tired, I guess I wasn't the only one to be woken up early.
"Who are you? What do you want?" He grunted, his voice thick with sleep.
"Why father, do you not remember your own daughter?" I feigned hurt.
"Bella? Bells is that you?" He gasped. I nodded silently and brushed past him.
"Wow. So it happened then, you found your singer." He smiled. I nodded curtly, Charlie and I had never really spoken much, I'd always blamed him for my mother's early death.
"You look just like Vani." He whispered, mostly to himself but my new hearing senses picked it up just fine.
I knew that I shouldn't blame Charlie but I found it hard not to. He was my mother's singer, he was only supposed to be with my mom, never Renee. He chose her over my mom just after I was born and that left my mother unable to cope. She got really depressed and eventually the strain was too much, she died not long after I turned three. I'd never forgiven Charlie and neither had Esmerelda or Alexis, they had refused to even see him.
"I'm just here to ask what you've told people about me, where have you said that I've gone and am I coming back?" I asked.
"Oh umm..." He seemed quite disappointed that I'd only come to see him for that. "I've told everyone that your Renee and Phil bought a new house in Florida and you've gone back to live with them."
I smiled and stood up from the shabby sofa.
"Okay then Charlie, that's all I came for. I'll be off now, school is starting soon and I need to be there. Just remember that my sisters and myself are new girls now, you cannot show that you know us in any way." I said.
He looked sad but nodded anyway. I didn't like being this way with him, he was still my dad and he couldn't help falling in love with someone else, Lord knows that I shouldn't judge people for who they fall in love with but still. I was quite glad that karma had come back to bite him though, Renee had fallen in love with Phil, leaving Charlie like he left my mom.
As soon as I got home I was dragged up the stairs to be changed. I ended up wearing a long blue chequered top that stopped around mid-thigh and pale wash cut up skinny jeans. I had deep blue studded heels and a deep blue studded bag. My make-up matched my blue theme.
Alexis had white skinny jeans on with a green t-shirt that had sunglasses printed on it. She had some green chucks and a green bag. Like mine, her make-up was green.
Esmerelda wore a red flannel shirt with a black belt around the middle and dark skinny jeans with black boots that came up to her knees. Her make up was very subtle.
"Come on the girls, time for school." Alexis smiled as we waved goodbye to the boys.

"Edward, take a look at this." Alice said as she skipped into my bedroom.
It had been three months since Bella had gone, Charlie said that she'd gone to live in Florida with Renee but I knew better. My mind had come to the conclusion that Bella had left for her own safety. She must've realised that, after the James incident, my world just wasn't for her. She must've realised that my world was too dangerous.
(A.N: Alice's vision are in italics just like peoples thoughts) A new car pulled up in the school parking-lot, a shiny blue Mercedes. Three inhumanly beautiful women stepped out. The first one had curly black hair that looked blue in the light and familiar brown doe eyes. The second girl had long red hair with silvery-grey eyes, they looked as though they could be twins.
The last girl was younger that the first but equally, if not more, beautiful. She had long, curly mahogany hair with those familiar brown eyes, the same as her older sister. These girls weren't human.
"What are they Edward? They certainly aren't human but they're not vampires either." Alice stressed. She didn't know if these women were going to cause trouble for us.
I just shook my head. I had no clue. I had certainly never seen anything like them in all my years.
"That last girl reminds me of Bella." Alice whispered.
I saw the girl again in Alice's mind. It was true, she did look a lot like my Bella. I now realised where I'd seen those brown eyes before, they were Bella's brown eyes, the same eyes as her father. That was impossible though, Bella was in Florida with her mother and she wasn't coming back.
"I'm going to speak with Carlisle." Alice spoke softly as she glided out of the room.
'That was probably the wrong thing to say.' Jasper thought.
'Oh for Gods sake. Bella this, Bella that, we all just need to get over her, the sooner we do that the happier it will be for everyone.' Rosalie grumbled.
I growled quietly, knowing that she could hear me perfectly.
'Oh come on Edward, you know deep down that I'm right.'
'Don't you dare listen to her Edward Cullen.' Esme threatened. I smiled to myself, of course I wouldn't listen to her.
I lay back on my bed and looked out of the window. It was raining, no surprises there. The droplets collected in tiny pools on the leaves of the trees that surrounded our house.
"Edward it's time for school." Jasper called up to me.
I sighed and forced my body down the stairs, I'd become like a robot recently. Dragging myself around in a boring routine. It was just like when Bella wasn't in our lives, all I did was move around like a zombie. I hunted, played my piano and went to school.
'Jasper and I are coming in your car with you, Carlisle said that we should just leave it and see how it all pans out.' Alice told me. I nodded as I came down the stairs.
The drive to school was quiet, of course Alice and Jaspers minds were buzzing with thought but I turned up the radio and tuned them out. Once I pulled into the school parking-lot I saw that Mercedes and those three girls getting out.
Emmett and Rosalie pulled up next to us and we, too, got out.
That's when it hit me. That luxurious scent, her luxurious scent.
Bella.
(A.N.): Ooooh so the drama really begins now then. Sorry that Edward's point of view is so short compared to Bella's but I just think that this was a good way to end the chapter :P.
I've put a poll up on whether or not I should change the title of this story, I'd love it if you could tell me what you think :).
Love you xD...
