I was packing in a frenzy, tossing everything over my shoulder into what I hoped was a bag. Everything that I could touch was going into bags. I was so absorbed with packing that I didn't hear anyone come in.

"Woah. What blew up in here?" I turned around in time to see Alec lower his raised eyebrow. Jane, Heidi, Alec, Felix, and Demetri trailed in after him, and only then did I see the mess that had once been my room. Every inch of my bed was covered in clothing. The bags lay empty on the floor.

"What the hell were you doing?" Jane asked frantically while Heidi picked up a pair of my jeans to set them aside so she could inspect the rest of my clothing.

"Packing?" I asked in response to her question. She looked at me and burst into laughter. The others wasted no time in following suit. Well most of them laughed, Heidi just shuffled through my clothing mumbling incoherently to herself. After a well-aimed pair of pants flew past my head, I turned my attention back to Heidi. She was picking things up and throwing them over her shoulder, away from the bags, without looking at them. I frowned.

"Heidi..." I said with caution. "My things are supposed to be going into bags." As I took a step towards her, she looked up, her lip curled over her teeth in a snarl.

"You're packing everything except the things I got you. What the hell is this?" She asked, holding up denim. I assumed them to be pants.

"Jeans?" I asked. Her eyes narrowed dangerously.

"These are not just jeans... these are bell bottoms." She made a disgusted sound. "Bell bottoms!" She stressed, shuddering. She flung them behind her. "Have you ever heard of skinny jeans?"

I hid behind Alec as another pair of jeans came hurling at my head.

"Don't eat me." I squeaked when she snarled, retrieved the thrown jeans, and ripped them in half. She reached over for another one of my jeans but her hand paused in mid air. A creepy smile worked its way onto her face, the kind where I knew she was up to something. Something that, more than likely, would not benefit me.

She dropped the jeans, turned to me, cocked her head to the side and looked me up and down. If she had been a robot you would have been able to see the wheels turning in her head. Then before I could blink, she was gone, leaving my room in an avalanche of mess and me in slight fear. The rest just laughed. I shrugged and turned away from where she had been standing.

"So, are you just going to stand there? Or are you going to help me pack?" I demanded, fisting my hands on my hips.

Demetri picked up a fallen suitcase, and Jane picked up the clothing on the floor that was most near her. Alec and Felix began to fold the clothing near them.

Thus the long and arduous task of packing commenced.

XXX

We had finally finished packing about an hour before the jet was going to take me to my destination.

Of course, we hadn't been packing the whole time.

In the middle of packing shirts into one of the suitcases, something occurred to me. It was going to be a long time before I was going to see my family again. I was going to miss them all. All the way from Demetri's over protective brotherly ways to Felix's gross, perverted ways.

The one person I was dead sure I wasn't going to miss was Aro.

Pun intended.


So, we began to drag on the packing experience, talking and joking around, reminiscing things from my human and vampire life.

As the time to depart got closer, the mood in the room became sullen. We were practically sitting in silence except for the occasional comment.

The silence was getting too much so I decided to break it. "I have a plan, you know? The plan is to gain freedom, be independent, and not let anyone or anything get in my way. I will live on my own and I will not be held in this castle." I will also find Edward Cullen. I will not stand for an I think I love you. I had been brooding for almost a year now. I was going to tell him the next time I saw him. They nodded. I knew they knew the said part of the plan, just not the part that I keep thinking now and then. I said both plans from time to time to reassure myself that I wasn't doing anything wrong.

When the hour came to an end, no matter how much I protested, Demetri and Felix carried my bags. Jane carried my jacket. I carried Milo.

Turned out Milo, my original dog, had been female. Apparently, when Alec got me the dog, he failed to tell me that Milo's name should actually have been Mia. You can imagine when I saw Milo getting it on with a female dog.

I had to question the sexual preferences of my dog. Not one of my best days. But when Milo got pregnant well, I had been in shock. The outcome was simple: Milo had puppies.

I gave one to Gianna. Felix accidentally drank the second one, and I kept the third one, this time making sure that it defiantly was Milo, notMia.

We got to the gates of the castle and I saw Aro, Uncle Caius, and Uncle Marcus standing there.

"So, where am I going?" I asked. Uncle Marcus handed me my passport, boarding pass, and itinerary . I glanced at the destination and then looked at him in confusion.

"The airport in Port Angeles doesn't have enough terminals to accommodate the jet," he explained. "And besides, landing in a jet isn't exactly fitting in." I laughed and gave him a hug. Felix, Alec, and Demetri put the bags down and came to stand next to Jane who stood next to Aro. She knew I didn't like him anymore, but she was still his favorite and she couldn't just overlook that. Jane loved drama.

As I looked at my family standing in front of me, the bags and jet behind me, I realized how much I would miss them. It wasn't fair, I had to choose between my family and my freedom. But I knew what I wanted and knew that if I wanted to come back here I could.

"So I guess this is it." I said. Don't break down, don't break down, I chanted in my head. Alec was the first to hug me. It was deja vu from when I went on vacation, only this time it was permanent.

"I'll miss you Bells," he said. "You know, you always have a home here, right?" I nodded, and tried to smile, continuing the chant in my head, Don't break down, don't break down.

Jane was next, she pushed him out of the way and grabbed on to me, wrapping her arms around my midriff. Jane was fairly shorter than me, and even though she was older than me, in physical years she was still just a child.

"Don't go, Bella." I felt lost and helpless. Jane was my best friend and seeing her this way was different for me. She was usually angry or happy from causing other's pain for being angry.

"Jane I need to go. I'll come visit, though." I assured at her crestfallen face. "You know I won't be able to stay away from this big gloomy castle and you horribly annoying people for long." I tried to joke. She smiled.
"Fine... just before you decide to kill someone unsuspectingly, call me, okay?" I laughed and nodded in return. It was something that Jane and I had bonded over. Dropping in and killing people when they least expect it. One of the Volturi's best offense was the element of surprise. With my power, most couldn't detect us when we were coming, or when we got there use their powers against them.

My mind was a large forcefield. If I walked into a room and didn't have my forcefield under wraps, the Volturi would be defenseless, as would anyone else in the room. Thats why most of the time, my shield is under control, except for those moments where I am totally and utterly out of control for some reason that keeps me from containing it.

Demetri went through the normal big brother lecture and added a "Love you Bells." at the end. Felix kept the passes at me to a none and hugged me wordlessly, without trying to grope me. Shocker.

I moved on the Uncle Caius and then finally Uncle Marcus.

"Thanks Uncle Marcus... for everything." He smiled and gave me a hug.

"I don't know if it will help, but I think you should know that Carlisle Cullen lives in Forks, Washington. His children go to the same school you will be enrolled in." My eyes widened and my dead heart soared. I threw my arms around him again. No one understood the exchange between us, and why that is so important to me, but I didn't care.

I was going to see Edward again.

When I finally got a hold of myself again, I let go of Uncle Marcus, the biggest amount of gratitude in my eyes. I said my curt goodbye to Aro, and turned to see Heidi standing beside my bags.

"Heidi, where did you go?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Nowhere special," she replied. I looked at her skeptically, but brushed it off. Whatever she did couldn't be that bad. My bags were still there, looking the same and intact. I gave her a hug and said my good bye. Antonio put my bags in the jet and I followed him up the ramp, taking one last look at my family.

"Hey Bella." Felix called. I popped my head out the door of the jet. He smiled flirtatiously and blew me a kiss. "If you don't meet a guy, you know my number." Everyone turned to look at him in shock.

"What? In my defense, I just think she should know she still has options." He defended himself. I chuckled.

"I'll keep it in mind." I called to him. He gave me a thumbs up, and I went back into the jet.

I arrived in Port Angeles fifteen hours later. Between trying to ignore people's staring and almost punching a guy for grabbing my ass time, passed quickly. Demetri had rented an SUV for me, so all eight of my suitcases would fit. I grabbed the directions to my house from my bag and began to drive.

It took me about an hour to get where I needed to be.

Port Angeles happens to be a little farther from Forks then I thought that it would be. The house that they had gotten me was fairly big for only one person. It had two floors, and was a lot cozier than the castle.

There was a small kitchen and a living room on the first floor, and a staircase that led up from the kitchen to two bedrooms and a small bathroom. A linen closet fit snugly between the two rooms and everything still had yet to be furnished. The kitchen and the living room had hard wood floors and the upstairs bedrooms had carpeting as well as the stairs. The tiling in the bathroom was fairly old, so that defiantly needed to be redone.

I brought the bags in and grabbed my phone to call Volturra. The phone had barely rang before Jane picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jane." I went into the living room and sank down to the floor, my back against the wall that was opposite of the window.

"Bells! Come here! Bella is one the phone." She hissed, her voice muffled from, what I assumed to be her hand, covering the speaker. I heard shuffling and Jane announcing that she was putting me on speaker. "Hi, Bella." Everyone chorused. I laughed.

"You guys really need to learn a different way to greet people." They laughed. "Thanks for the house, guys."

"Welcome, Bells." Demetri said. "So, unpacked yet?"

"No, I just got here. The drive is an hour away and I didn't want to speed until I knew what the police condition was around here."

"Okay, then. So, when you do unpack, make sure to call Heidi's cell phone." In the background I heard Heidi screeching, 'Demetri you jerk don't say that!'

Now I was curious. I got up and went to the bags, unlocking and unzipping one of them.

I almost dropped the phone. No, No, No , No, NO!

I quickly unzipped all the bags and laid them down. None of the clothes that I packed were there. Every piece of clothing was different. Much, much more revealing, and defiantly not what I would wear.

"Heidi, where are my clothes?!" I yelled into the phone.

"Before you get mad, listen. The clothes you packed were absolutely horrible. I couldn't let you go out there making your first impression wearing Plain-Jane clothing. You're a vampire, Bella. Dress the part." I growled into the phone and I knew she would be cringing by now. I sighed in defeat.

"You know I can always buy new clothes here, right?" I asked.

"No you can't because you'd feel guilty and if you did, I wouldn't talk to you in at least a decade." I sighed in defeat.

"Fine. But it's only because you're like a sister to me."

"Love you too, Bells," she sang into the phone. We talked for a little more and then hung up. I took Milo the Second out of his carrier and took the emergency Beneful, a brand of dog food, out of my bag. I glanced at the clock. Three A.M., it read. I went through the math in my head; in about five hours I had to be at the high school.

I sighed and sank down to the floor of the living room for the second time in as many hours

Furnishing would have to wait.

Today I started high school.

Before I left the house in the morning, I put out the dog food and did a once over in the mirror. I had put on the most modest thing I could find in the suitcases for the first day of school, which wasn't a lot, but then again, the word modest didn't register in Heidi's vocabulary, and if it did, I was willing to bet that it differed greatly from my definition.

I had learned a thing or two from Heidi, so I had enough sense to wear leggings with my brown striped mini dress hoodie. It was basically just a long brown striped sweater. I wore brown leggings under it and wore brown ugg's.


I grabbed my black jansport backpack and quickly but a binder and some pens into it. Heidi really had thought of everything. I put in my wallet, iPod, house keys, and car keys into my bag, said goodbye to Milo, and ran out. I pulled a silent vote on whether I wanted to take a car to school, or run. I could run in the woods and come out about a block and a half before. No one would notice. Deciding to go with that one I began to walk, just at the edge of the woods, I broke into a run.

Within five minuets I was at my destination.

Before I even got to the front door of the school I had eyes on me. I could feel them when I couldn't see them, and it unnerved me.

She looks like the Cullen family!

Do you think that they're related?

She's so hot man, I hope she likes me!

The whispering began. I tried to ignore them and just keep going, walking up to the registration building.
An old women sat at the desk, glasses on her nose, writing something in a book. The plastic-gold nameplate on her desk read A. Cope.

"Hi, Miss Cope, I'm Isabella Swan. I was told that I was to come here to get my program." She smiled politely at me.

"Oh. Yes, you're that Italian girl who was to come today. Forks has been waiting for you." I wasn't going to lie, that was a little creepy, but this was a small town, and in small towns news traveled fast. I grabbed the papers she gave me, agreeing to get one of the sheets signed by every teacher. The bell rang and I made my way to first period.

English.

The day passed by slower than I thought it would. By lunch I had names and personalities mastered. There was Jessica, the gossip queen, Lauren, the mean queen, Mike,the mini mix of Felix and Alec- won't take a hint but certainly nice enough, Angela, the nice girl, Ben, her follower, Eric, the quiet drooling puppy and Tyler, the overly persistent, and thoroughly annoying boy.

All my classes were repeats of things that I had already learned, I had never been to high school before, but Aro had private tutors for me, therefore I was years ahead of these people academically, and quite literally. Gym was no problem because, even though I had never actually played the games before, picking them up was a fairly easy task.

Lunch was hardly a problem, Jessica had invited me to sit with her friends and not really knowing anyone, I took her up on the offer. Food was still an issue for me, sitting with them and not eating would be a problem, and eating would result in coughing it up later. I took the safest route for now. I would come up with excuses for why I didn't eat later.

After I got my pizza and my water, I sat down next to Jessica, only half listening to what she was saying. I began to nibble on my pizza, then deciding that take bigger bites and swallowing would minimize the dirt like taste in my mouth. I ate half the pizza and drank water, more than uncomfortable with its weight in my stomach. I was dreading the next trip to the bathroom.

It was about ten minuets into lunch hour when they walked in. They entered in a perfect line, walking next to each other but in such a way that I could see who was paired off with whom. They looked exactly like how they had years ago. The only difference that I could see was the girl walking next to Edward.

I turned to Jessica and looked at her questioningly.

"Who are they?" I asked after they were seated, my voice barely louder than a whisper. I knew who they were, oh boy, did I ever know who they were. In fact, I was in love with one of them.

"Them?" She asked dumbly, before realization hit her. I wanted to roll my eyes. If reality was a frying pan, then I would have wanted to be that frying pan. "Oh. Them." She grimaced. "They're the Cullen's. The girls are Rosalie, the blonde one, Alice, the black haired one, and Tanya,the strawberry blond. The blonde boy is Jasper; next to him are Emmett, and lastly Edward."

I opened my mouth to speak, but Jessica beat me to it. "Don't waste your time on them, though. They're all together. Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett, and Tanya and Edward." She sighed then, before turning to Lauren to listen to what would be her newest tidbit of gossip. I didn't pay attention. The words kept replaying themselves in my head, or, rather, three words in specific. 'Tanya and Edward'.

I screwed my eyes shut, feeling my stomach lurch. I didn't think it was the food.

Tanya and Edward, Tanya and Edward, Tanya and Edward.

I think I would have cried if I could have. When I opened my eyes, he was staring right at me. Edward. The lurching became brutal churning, the acid battling against the mucus-covered walls of my stomach.

"Excuse me," I whispered, standing and making my hasty retreat.

The blank, white tile walls of the bathroom did little to sooth me as I vomited into the porcelain toilet. What a wretched existence.

"This isn't how it was supposed to be!" I cried into my arm. "It was supposed to be..." I trailed off. What? What was it supposed to be like?

I sat in the little cubical until the bell rang, when I got up to wash my mouth and hurry to my next class. I had Biology, something I really didn't want to go to. Not in my sorry state of mind. I would just mope through the whole class. Why would I want to study the living if I was already dead?

The lettering stared at me from the frosted glass, big, black, bold, capital letters in Arial. Capital letters that were intimidating me with only their existence. I inhaled deeply, and pushed the door open.

The room was moderately sized; standard black marble top lab tables stood in rows, a chalkboard at the front behind a desk cluttered with many old papers and coffee mugs. A normal biology room, I supposed.

After having my slip signed and being assigned to my seat, I found out, much to my chagrin, that my lab partner was to be Edward. Edward Cullen, to be exact. I had squeezed my eyes shut when he had walked in through the door, hoping in vain that he wouldn't notice me, and if he did, that he would ignore me. Of course, it wasn't my lucky day, and he did notice me.

I was wrestling with my sanity, or maybe it was my insanity, when he sat down next to me. He had offered me a polite 'hello', to which I had replied with pursed lips and a curt nod of my head, never once meeting his gaze. I was shocked that he didn't recognize me.

Most of the period was spent this way silence or one-worded answers being thrown back and forth between us. If a question couldn't be answered in one word, then we kept it as limited as possible. I don't think we got more than ten words out.

The class was never going to end, I knew it. It was going to drag on until I died or Hell swallowed me whole where I sat.

Please ring, I chanted in my head. Please, please ring.

And as if hearing my silent plea, the bell rang. I stood, gathering my books to me. I was half way to the door when I turned to look at Edward. "Marcus says hello." I mentally congratulated myself for not letting my voice shake, but it was a small victory, and hardly that.

I quickly left the building and headed for the forest.
