Empty Promises, Broken
Ch 4 Explanations
Bella POV
The rest of the day went by in a breeze. It was like I was in a daze. We all walked to my car.
"Are you okay?" Josh asked.
"Yea, I'm just nervous."
I drove us all to the familiar Cullen house. I heard gasps from behind. Just as I stopped the car Alice bounded out skipping.
"Ah, it's a good thing you're here. I was beginning to worry. You need to explain soon because Edward and Jasper are trying to figure out what I'm hiding."
"Sorry Alice."
"It's ok. It was actually kinda fun. Come on in."
We all followed in. It looked the same as it did fifty years ago. It was still gorgeous.
"Wait here. I'll get everyone. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Edward come here please."
"What is it Alice?" Carlisle asked. Everyone filed into the room.
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet the new coven that just moved in here." Since I was the leader I spoke up first.
"Hello, I'm Isabella I'm the leader but you can call me Bella."
"Hello Bella." Carlisle responded.
"This is my family. This is Jennifer, Brett, Joshua, and Jordyn."
"Hello, nice to meet you please call me Jenny."
"Yo, call me Josh please."
"Nice to meet you all." Carlisle responded again.
"Ugh, Alice what's so important? I was in the middle of something. Rosalie said already bored.
"Well Rose, we already know one of them. Isn't that right Bella?"
"Ummm, yea." I replied.
"So then who is it?" Rosalie asked.
"Well, it's me Rosalie." I confessed.
"What do you mean? I don't know anyone named Bella. The last time I heard the name Bella was over fifty years ago when Edward-" I simply nodded.
"OMG! You're-" Rosalie started.
I cut in " Isabella Marie Swan." When that was said Edward abruptly got up and left.
"Don't worry about him Bella he'll come around. He's just shocked that's all Esme said.
"It's alright Esme, I haven't worried about him in fifty years."
"Yea right" Josh snorted. I slapped him upside the head.
"Shut up." I said through gritted teeth. Alice quickly changing the subject spoke up.
"So Bella, tell us your story." Before I began Edward came back. He went and sat down. I took a deep breath and began.
"Well basically after you guys left, I felt as though part of me was gone. My happiness was gone. I didn't want to live anymore. There was no point. I tried to be as normal as possible for Charlie. Then a couple of days before I went off to college, I met Jenny. I was walking around and I collapsed in front of her house. Later she told me that I was sobbing and that she had never seen someone in so much pain." My voice broke on the last word. I regained my composure and continued.
"When I woke up, I saw her there. I asked her what happened and she told me. It was then I realized she was a vampire. When I told her she was shocked. She asked me how I knew and I told her the story of you guys. I asked her to change me. She agreed so I told Charlie that I was leaving for earlier for college. Then she changed me. It didn't take long for me to be able to be around humans. And I've been with Jenny ever since and everyone else joined later. They all voted em to be the leader though. I finished
Then Carlisle spoke up. "And what's your power?"
"Oh, you'll love it! I have five." I explained. "My first is I can absorb powers. My second is that I can read minds but also put my thoughts into someone else's mind. My third is that if I feel any strong emotion such as pain I can unleash it on someone and they'll feel what I feel. My fourth is that I can see the future like Alice but I can only see it when something bad will happen like a bad decision was made or something. And my fifth is that my eyes change color according to my mood. But I can easily control that if I wanted to. So I blend in." by the time I finished explaining all the Cullens were staring at me each with a bewildered expression on their faces.
Emmett spoke up first. "So that's why the Volturi wanted you so much? AWESOME!"
Alice spoke up right after. "Okay! Time for makeovers for Jenny, Jordyn and Bella!" I groaned but the other two were happy.
Alice had finished our makeovers and we were all dressed up. For Jenny, she picked dark blue skinny jeans and a bright pink tank top with accessories of course. For Jordyn, she picked a purple umpire dress with white leggings. And for me she picked some jeans and a baby blue baby doll and a lime green camisole under it.(A/N: links to pics of outfits on Profile) We all went downstairs after to go and get acquainted with everyone else. Josh and Brett were already with Emmett and Jasper playing Guitar Hero III on their PS2. I was in a trance again and I walked to Edward's room and just as I was about to knock I snapped out of it and ran downstairs to tell everyone that I needed air and I ran to the meadow Edward and me used to go to. When I got there I saw Edward and he apparently heard me because he started walking towards me. I froze in place as he came up towards me
"Hello, Bella. He murmured.
Edward POV
"Isabella Marie Swan." She cut in. immediately I left. I couldn't believe it. I left to save her but my Bella still changed herself. She is so stubborn. I feel terrible though. I better go back.
Alice POV
"Isabella Marie Swan." She cut in. then Edward left. Poor Edward. This must shock him. She still wanted to become one of us even though we left. Poor Bella. She must have gone through so much pain when we left.
