Thank you so much for the reviews. [: I'm actually glad people enjoy my story so far. To be truthful,I was a little skeptical on the popularity of the story I have formed in my mind. Thanks again. And just so everyone knows,granted this is Twilight world. But I'm using today's dates to make the story flow. For instance,Charlie died in 2042. Which was twenty years from the time line of present day in this story.

Chapter 2:

Where To Go From Here?

The plane ride to Forks seemed to have taken longer then I expected. After receiving my envelope of 'vacation goodies',I confronted Victoria about it. How could she send me to the one place I've been avoiding all these years? She knew how I felt about that cursed place. Victoria simply told me that she thought it was time to span her army to the North,and that I should be the one to do it. Ha! Like she could do it all herself anyways.

"Remember Isabella,you must have this army ready for me within one year. If you're not ready by then...well,I guess I was mistaken about who you are." Victoria's voice echoed in my mind over and over again as the plane began to land at the Seattle Air Port. I bit my lower lip and grabbed my bag from the council overhead,and my purse. This was it...I was back home.

The taxi driver politely placed my luggage in the trunk,and opened my door for me. The drive to Forks was too short for my liking. The trees...oh how I had missed the trees. Is it bad to say I actually missed the color green? Nothing had changed in all the years of me being away. Everything was exactly how I remembered it. Could I really do what Victoria asked and make an army of the people I basically knew? Make them like me,a killer?

When the taxi driver pulled up to my new home for the year,I just rolled my eyes. Leave it to Victoria to make me live in a simple cottage in the middle of nowhere. I suppose it was to give me cover from wondering eyes and to hide suspicion about me being in town. I can already tell my visit was going to be an emotional one.

When I turned into a vampire,all those years ago,I cut off all my ties to my human life. Only thing I kept was a simple picture from when I was a baby,that held my family within it. All emotions were immediately cut off. Victoria thought this would be my ability. Cutting off emotions to anything and everything if possible...but she was wrong. My ability is far worse then simply cutting off emotions. Just one simple touch and I can have anyone's ability in an instant. Victoria was so pleased when she found out my ability,that she wanted me closer to her as ever. But my ability is unknown to the vampire world. Only she and I really know about it. The army only knows one thing about me. Mess with me or rub me the wrong way,and they are considered dead in my eyes.

I'm not one to pity slime like them. Since Victoria found out my ability,she's been giving me out as rewards for anything,to see who has abilities and who doesn't. I don't question it. How could I when she's the one who saved me from the life I had? I don't know anything else besides what she's taught me and made me do. As much as I want to leave the life I'm now living,I can't bring myself to do so. After all,where would I go? At least with Victoria,I have a place to live and a place to call...well,somewhat of a home.

After I payed the taxi driver and grabbed my luggage,I walked up onto the porch. The home reminded me a little bit of something from a story from a book I once read when I was younger. I opened the door and eased it open,the sudden smell of musk and wood filled my nose. It was a comforting smell,but very strange to me. I set my luggage on the floorboards as I began to look around. Off to the right was the living room area,that held a television,computer,dark blue couches and a rocking chair to match. I flipped the switch on the wall and watched the lamps around the room give off light,just enough to give a comforting glow onto the areas that really needed it. There was a fire place built into the wall beside the rocking chair. It's been a while since I've been anywhere near a nice,warm fire. I already know I'll be using it more then necessary.

I didn't bother looking at the kitchen that was right across the hallway,but instead ventured upstairs to the bedroom areas. There were four doors upstairs,two of which were bedrooms. There was a small bedroom,probably for 'guests',and a master bedroom that was mine. There was a simple bathroom,that was nothing spectacular,but it was what I needed and wanted. I walked to the last door on the right and eased it open slowly. It was an office. Books among books towered on the walls of this room. There was a dark wooden desk in the middle of the room,right in front of the window that over looked the woods behind the house. This is where I would be coming up with all the plans for Victoria's army. Where I would stay for the year to come.

It only took an hour to get situated and unpacked. I refused to use my vampire abilities at a time like this. There was no point. All I have now is time. So why waste it by rushing through unnecessary things? Victoria had told me she would call to check on me half way through the year. It's good to know I'll have months away from the crazy,psychotic red head.

As much as I wanted to stay inside the walls of my new home,I couldn't contain my curiosity. I wanted to visit my Dad's grave while I'm here. I could do this now and get it out of the way. I grabbed the house key that was sitting on the side table beside the door,and locked the door behind me. I was dressed in the perfect clothing for Forks rainy weather. Simple jeans and a long sleeved red sweater,with black boots.

As I walked down the dirt paths that led to my house,questions began to form in my mind. Was Jacob still living here? Did he imprint and have his own little family. A smile formed on my lips at the thought of Jacob moving on with his life. He took it the hardest I think when I had to leave for Jacksonville. The memory burned into my mind forever...

FLASH BACK

I walked along the beach of La'Push with Jacob at my side. He could tell almost instantly that something was wrong with me. He's the one person who has been there for me through almost everything. He knew what Edward did to me. Knew how broken I was,and yet Jacob still stayed by my side.

"What's going on Bells?"He asked,looking at me. We had stopped walking by the log that was laying against a tree. I sighed and sat down. The cold weather not helping with the numbness in my heart. How could I leave him behind? How could I not see him again?

I bit my bottom lip and looked up at Jacob with tears in my eyes. He instantly crouched down in front of me and took my hands into his,instantly warming them with his werewolf body temperature. "Bells...what's wrong?"He whispered.

"I'm leaving..."I Managed to say as tears ran down my face. "Charlie...he's sending me to Jacksonville to live with my mom." Jacob's body tensed at my words. "It's my fault...I told him to if he thought it was best for me. But I didn't think he really would,you know?"

Jacob's body began to tremble like he was going to burst. "You're...leaving? When?"He asked.

"Tomorrow morning. I wanted to say goodbye."He didn't let up on the trembling,making me frown. "Damn it Jake! I'm trying to talk to you. Don't you dare go werewolf on me now."I cried,putting my face in my hands.

I didn't know when he calmed down,but when I felt warm arms wrap around me and began to rock me slightly,I knew I had him back. "I'm going to miss you Bella."He whispered,kissing the top of my head. "Just...promise to come and visit. I don't care if it's one week or one day a year. As long as you come back and see me,I'll be happy."He smiled weakly.

I looked at Jacob and did the only thing I could really do. I pressed my lips to his gently. "I promise."I whispered,looking at him deep into his dark brown eyes. "I love you Jacob. Thank you for everything you've done for me."I whispered.

Jacob pulled me closer and kissed me deeply,pouring all his feelings into the kiss we were sharing. I wrapped my arms around his neck as tears began to well up into my eyes. "I'll always love you Bella. This is my promise to you. My heart will always be yours." And with that,I left after one final glance of my walking Sun.

END FLASHBACK

Who knew I had broken my promise to him. Who knew I was never going to see him again. If he saw me now,would he try and kill me,or hug me like an old friend? I sighed as these thoughts ran through my mind. Knowing Jake,he was probably still on the Reservation. As much as I wanted to go see him,I couldn't bring myself to. The pack would try and tear me apart and I know if they tried,I would rip their teeth from their skulls.

The weather was just how I remembered it. Cold. Damp. The sun seemed to have vanished from the cloudy sky above. I could tell that the day was coming to an end,probably turning towards 7 o'clock in the evening. To me,this was the perfect time for me to enter town. Nobody would be able to really see me unless I engaged in conversation with them.

It took maybe an hour to walk across town to the Cemetery. While I walked the streets of Forks,I could make our a few of my old classmates. And it seemed they had all grown up to be respectful in the community. I smiled slightly as I spotted Mike Newton holding the hand of a little brown haired girl,who was more then likely his grand daughter. I had wished I was able to grow up,have a family of my own,and then grow old with my grand children running around the front yard of my house. But it was only a dream,of which would never come true.

The cemetery was dreary and quiet. Any visitors had long left their loved ones headstones. I scanned the stones sticking out of the ground and instantly found Charlie's in the back row. Emotions began to build up inside my chest as I got closer to his grave. Emotions I had locked away for years,never wanting to surface. My heart stopped cold when I spotted the headstone next to his. I smiled softly and got down on my knees in front of the headstone. They knew I was missing. They knew I was gone forever.

Isabella Swan

Born- September 13th,1987

Died- Unknown

"Last night,I was on the threshold of hell. Today,I am within sight of my heaven.

I have my eyes on it;hardly three feet to sever me!"-Emily Bronte,Wuthering Heights.

As I looked on the soft grass beneath my stone,I noticed fresh roses were placed there. Roses that only seemed a day old. I wondered who had come and visit my grave so recently. I shrugged it off and focused my sights on the grave I originally came to pay my respects too. I never understood why people talked to graves,until right this moment. I had so many things I needed and wished to say to Charlie. Things that he should have been able to hear from me in person. But that would never happen.

Charles Swan

Born- March 1st,1964

Died- February 23rd,2042

Respected officer,husband and father. Now he can be with his daughter,Isabella Swan.

Let us hope they meet again in heaven.

Reading the stone over,I couldn't help but feel guilty. If I had let Victoria kill me all those years ago,I would be with Charlie right now. Who was with Charlie in heaven,if there was one? Was he alone? This was all my fault. I did the one thing I swore to never do again. Even though,nothing would fall,I sobbed into my hands for the first time in fifty years.

"Dad,please forgive me."I whispered softly as I looked at Charlie's name. "I should have been there. I should have been there to say goodbye."I ran my fingers over the headstone and closed my eyes. I didn't want to leave. I wished I could dig up the empty box below my own headstone and place myself in it forever. But it would never happen. "Goodbye Dad."I whispered as I slowly stood up and started to walk back to my home for the year.

As I walked away,memories of my Dad flooded my mind. How when I was five,he took my fishing for the first time. How happy I was when I saw him every summer. How Charlie's eyes lit up when I walked off my plane to live with him for the remainder of my high school years. I would never see my Dad's brown eyes or smile ever again. I couldn't help but feel like I had let him down as his daughter.

I didn't reach the front gate of the cemetery until a scent filled my nose. Three vampires were nearby,but I couldn't tell if they were nomads just passing through,or part of Victoria's stupid army to spy on me to make sure I did as commanded.

I was fighting the urge to flee,which was something the old 'Bella' would do. My inner vampire wanted to stay and find out who these vampires were. If they were a threat,I didn't know. I stayed where I was,only feet away from the giant gate leading back into town and away from the smell of death and soil.

"Peter,why are we coming here again? A cemetery? Really?" A female voice said with a sigh. She sounded a little agitated,and was getting closer. I could faintly make out three distinct figures down the road. As they came closer,I could make more things out in their appearance. All had light hair,blonde. Two were male,one female. The male's were a foot taller than I,as the female was my height and size. I narrowed my eyes as they continued to come forward. That was until the three of them stopped where the gate stood,and stared at me.

"Well Major,what do you think?" Peter had said,with a grin plastered on his idiotic face.

Charlotte stared at me with a smile and a squeal. "Isabella! It's been such a long time!" She ran over to me and hugged me tightly. But I ignored Charlotte and Peter. My eyes were on the man next to Peter,who had a shocked expression on his face.

Let me explain something. I had met Peter and Charlotte years ago when I was first in my newborn stage. I had grown quite fond of both of them,until Victoria wanted them killed for interfering with my 'training'. So to protect them,I told them to leave and never come back. Of course,Peter knew I didn't mean a word,and they left peacefully without a fuss. They knew nothing about my human life...at least I would like to believe so. Peter's gift was 'knowing shit',as he would like to put it. But never in my mind,did I even suspect they knew...

"Jasper." The name left my lips before I could even register it. What were the odds of running into a Cullen after all these years? On my first day in town nonetheless.

Jasper's eyes scanned over my face and then my body,obviously wondering how I became a vampire. His eyes were not golden like I had thought they would be. Instead,they were crimson just like my own. I knew of Jasper's past from stories told by Victoria and a few of the older vampires in the camp. He was known as the God of War. The most feared vampire in the vampire society.

My mind felt like a whirlwind going 500 miles an hour. If he was here,that meant the rest of the Cullens were here. And if they were here,Edward was here...And I wasn't ready to face him. I slowly pushed Charlotte out of my way and bit my bottom lip. For the first time in years,I felt like my old self. The 'Bella' of which I was when I was human. Weak and pathetic. Afraid of her own shadow.

"I'm...I'm sorry."I said quietly as I ran passed them at vampire speed. Within minutes I was in my front door,slamming it shut behind me. The picture frames on the walls shook slightly from the doors impact in the door frame.

I didn't know how to handle this. So many old memories,old pain was coming back to me. If only I didn't flip the switch off at Charlie's grave. I wouldn't be feeling any of this at all! I was stupid! I took a deep breath and sat my head back against the wooden door behind me. I slid to the ground and tried to relax. I have to lock everything up once again. Turn it all off.

I closed my eyes and began to return to how I once was. Cold,heartless,emotionless. When I opened my eyes,I didn't feel the pain in my chest any longer. I was fine. I stood up and sighed. I walked into the living room area and sat down in front of the fire place that would soon be turned on for my own comfort. I just hoped I didn't run into any of the Cullens again.

If I ever ran into Edward again,I don't know what I would do. Probably rip his head from his neck and use it as a soccer ball,before I slowly began to burn is body parts to ash. Oh yeah,I can be quite the violent girl when I wish to be. Edward would hate to run into me. I would make his existence a living hell. I'd probably burn his dick off. Not like he ever used it anyways.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my long brown curly hair. This year was going to be a long one. I could just feel it in my gut. With Jasper and them in town,who knew what would happen. They can't know why I'm here. It would ruin everything. If I do this for Victoria,maybe she'll let me go. A girl could only hope.

I leaned forward and placed logs into the fire place,before lighting it with a Zippo lighter. Once the fire started,I sat back in the rocking chair and watched the flames dance in front of me. Where do I go from here? Do I continue like I never saw Jasper,or do I try and avoid them all together? I groaned and ran my hands over my face. Today was just an emotional roller coaster.

I looked at the picture of Charlie,Renee,and myself as a baby. The picture was now framed and sitting on one of the end tables beside me. "I love you Dad."I whispered softly as I rocked myself slowly,and closed my eyes. It felt like dreams. A smile graced across my face as I began to recall a memory of Charlie and me for my 9th birthday. He tried getting the perfect cake,only to end up wearing it.

And that is how the whole night was for me. Recalling memories of Charlie in his honor. The next morning would be a whole new ordeal. No more mourning for the one I lost. The next morning would be nothing but business. But for right now,Charlie deserves to be remembered. Deserves to remembered for all the good he's done in his life. Goodbye daddy. I'll miss and love you forever.

Comments? I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Love,.
