A/N: I know it's been a long time since I last updated, but you have to understand, I've got exams next month!! In Singapore, we call these exams Prelims, and if you know anyone from Singapore, ask them about PSLE, the exams I'll be sitting for in October… So hang on there, I'll try and update sooner than later.

Okay, this is a shout-out to cassandrajane, the author of Crescent Moon. This story is just pure gold!

Go on, go read it, but open it in another tab, and read my story first. Just kidding, if you really wanna check it out, I don't mind! Just remember to read my story later on…;P

Chapter Twelve: Bella's POV

When the prize giving ceremony was finally over, I changed out of my riding clothes and into a pair of dark skinny jeans and a blue flowery mini dress that reached somewhere in the middle of my butt.

The outfit was simple but sweet, and stated the fact – this girl's sophisticated & sexy. I liked that.

But when I looked at myself in the mirror, I didn't find it that pleasing anymore.

It wasn't anything like the other girls always complain about, like, This jeans make my butt look big! or I look like a potato in this top! kind of problem.

No, the fact that it looked too good on me and it was too blue!

Now, that was a problem… Even though I was a vampire, I was half star too. That meant I hadn't gotten the 'forget about your human past' trait.

Definitely not.

In fact, if you asked me if I remembered how boring classes were back then, I would have still remembered.

Just kidding.

No, but in fact, I could remember even better now. I could remember what I did back then when I was three, heck, I even knew what I did when I was two!

Trust me, no human or vampire can say they've got that good a memory.

So all this concluded to the fact that I could remember everything he, had said to me. All the lies.

I bet that when he said that I looked good in blue, it was a lie too.

I knew that at any moment now, the Cullens would come barging in to the changing room to get some answers. It was only a matter of time.

So I decided not to give them a chance to see my temporary changing room, took a deep breath, and walked out.

I would have liked to say that I didn't care about the fact that I was going to see the Cullens soon – in fact, too soon for me – didn't faze me at all.

But of course if I said that, I would have been telling a lie.

A humongous lie.

The truth was, I was so nervous, that I could almost hear my heart beating in my ears, and I was a vampire. At least, on the outside.

As I walked by, I had a great idea. If I was going to see the Cullens, I was going to let them see me in all my glory, even if they didn't know who I was.

I wasn't going to let them remember the weak old Bella, the one that had been tricked and victimized, no, I was going to let them see the new me, the new me that was the Princess of the Volturi, with the Volturi guards as my friends and the Volturi itself, as my fathers.

That would shock them. Obviously, it would shock anyone who knew me before the change.

I knew that Charlie and Renee were still upset over my 'death', but I also knew they would get over it. I had gone to check on them from time to time, even though they weren't my real parents.

Renee had Phil, so I wasn't that worried about her. I was more worried about Charlie.

Charlie.

He had no one except me. And now I was gone too.

I cheered myself up with the fact that Billy and his friends were there to accompany him after I was gone.

Come to think of it, it had been 2 months since I last saw Charlie!

I paused in my tracks, thinking…..

So it was decided, I would go to Forks as a 'tourist' for 2 weeks and return in time for the ball held for me. So long I didn't cross the border, everything would be fine.

Going to Forks would give me a chance to see all my friends, but they would probably be in college now.

Wait a minute! They would be home since it was summer. I shook my head, being a vampire really made you lose track of time.

I thought a little while, would my little 'visit' let everyone know I'm alive (or dead, depends on how you look at it)?

Then, I remembered the reflection I had seen in the mirror just now.

Black hair with red streaks, instead of plain brown ones.

Violet eyes in place of my plain Jane brown ones.

An hour-glass figure instead of a block of wood shaped body.

Full, plump lips instead of thin, normal ones.

I smiled. The only thing that the old and new Bella shared was the pale skin. I hadn't changed my color that much. My skin color was still the same, less pale than the other vampires, same as the old Bella, but much clearer skin.

I turned and walked towards the stables, where Haine was currently residing in.

I didn't even have to enter the stables, Haine, sensing my intentions, had already come out to greet me.

I stroked her nuzzle and smiled again when I realized one thing.

I wasn't going to see the Cullens after all.

A/N: So, how was it? Good? Bad? Sucked? Rocked? Tell me?!

Q: When is Bella going to meet Edward?

A: Soon, probably in the next 3 or 4 chapters.

So I repeat once more, hang in there! LOL! ;D
