Chapter 2 : Forks ... Again
Bella's point of view:
'Where are we going this time?' Matt asked. We had to move again and we weren't decided on where to move.
'Forks.' I said and Victoria eyed me suspiciously. 'Oh come on! It's been 120 years! If anyone was still alive it would be the wolves and they already know! Besides, we already have a house there - Charlie's. me and Victoria can go to Forks High school and Matt can work at the hospital.'
'That's not what I'm worried about, hun. What about the memories. We aren't going if they'll make you depressed again.' Oh. Now I got why she didn't want to move back. It was all about me.
'You can't re-open wounds that never healed. And why should I let him keep me out of my home town. I want to go back and he's not scaring me away.' Victoria sighed.
'Fine. Forks it is!'
-A few days later in Charlie's house at Forks-
'I'm gonna sleep in my old room. You two can have Charlie's - it's bigger.' I bolted up to my room several times with boxes of clothes and other things. We'd changed the house making each bedroom about double the size and adding an en-suite and walk-in-wardrobe and expanding the kitchen and lounge downstairs. I started putting my clothes in the wardrobe and was glad it was so big. Over the years I had acquired a love for clothes, shoes and shopping and I had a collection that even Alice would be proud of. Then Victoria called upstairs.
'Bells! I talked to the school and you're starting tomorrow and you're okay with being called Haley aren't you?' She called up to me, even though I could hear if she whispered. Acting human.
'Sure. I'm gonna give myself a new look then go out to hunt okay?' I called back.
'Sure thing hun.' I walked to the mirror and couldn't decide on anything so I flicked my iPod on random hoping for inspiration.
I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top,
She's got a body like an hourglass,
It's tickin' like a clock ...
Wow, that song was still awesome, even after a year! Then an idea hit me. I went back to the mirror and got to work. I went from 5'4" to 5'8" and made my legs and arms slightly thinner. I left my face alone, only making my nose a little thinner, eyes brighter and lips paler. Then I started on my hair, I made it a light golden blonde and just under my shoulders. I put choppy layers in then feathered it adding a sweep fringe. But something was missing. I changed the bottom layers to a dark red then looked in the mirror again. Prefect! I shoved on some black skinnies a tight white tank top and some converses. I put a white one on my left foot then a black one on my right foot. It was emo but it was awesome.
I ran downstairs to Victoria and spun around in front of her.
'What do you think!?!' I asked. Matt walked in as well.
'Oh my god! Hun you look awesome! Emo-indie but not too emo! Let me guess ... Paramore?' I nodded and gave her a hug.
'Yep. I'm going to hunt now see you in a bit okay?'
'Sure. Bye!'
'Bye! Bye Matt!'
'Bye Bells.' I ran out of the door and into the woods. I was trailing after a small black bear when I saw a large white house. The Cullen's. It was years since I'd been here. I crept closer making no noise at all and I heard voices inside.
'Why did we come back Jazz!?! It's just making Edward even more depressed than normal!'
'Not just him. Everyone. I can feel it! Why did he leave Bella!?! We weren't even close and I miss her so much Al!' They missed me. The Cullens missed me. He missed me! Before I could think what I was doing I was on their doorstep ringing the bell. Carlisle opened the door and I had to try hard not to just run and hug him.
'Ummm .... Hi. I'm Haley and I just moved here with my friends. I was hunting when I smelt you so I thought I'd come see who it was.' Carlisle looked bewildered.
'Ummm ... Come in. Let me introduce you to my family. I'm Carlisle Cullen, nice to meet you.' He led me into the lounge.
'Nice to meet you too.'
'Esme. Alice. Jasper. Emmett. Rosalie. Edward you too. Come downstairs to the lounge please. There's someone I want you to meet.' The rest of the Cullens came downstairs and I felt a stab of pain when I saw Edward. He trailed along behind the rest, eyes lifeless, hair messy and dirty and wearing the same clothes he'd worn when he'd said goodbye to me except now they were ripped and covered with dirt. 'Go ahead and introduce yourself.' I stepped forward then whimpered.
'Damn! Victoria had to be right didn't she! Of all the times to be right she chose this one! "Old wounds wont re-open if they've never healed" my ass! How could I be such an idiot!?! Why did we even come back here!?! Why did I suggest it!?!' I realized all the Cullens were staring at me.
'Are you okay?' Alice asked stepping forward and touching my arm. I looked down at her and the way her eyes filled with kindness made me feel slightly better.
'Sure. I'm okay I guess. Thanks. Anyhoo introducing myself ... Ummm ... Well, I'm a vampire and I'm a vegetarian-' Edward looked up for the first time and interrupted me.
'How do you know the term 'vegetarian' only us, the Denali and ... And ... B-Bella,' he winced visibly at my name. 'Use - used - that term. And why can't I read your mind?' Again everyone was staring at me. I backed up a little, my eyes wide with horror. I whimpered. Alice came to my rescue again.
'Shut up Edward! We know what you've been through, we all went through it as well! But don't take it out on her! Your scaring her!' She didn't even know my "name" and she was standing up for me. She took my hand a looked up at me. 'I'm sorry about that. Continue.'
'Well, as I was saying I'm a vampire and I'm a vegetarian. And my names Haley Wills. I just moved here with my ... Ummm ... Brother and sister, I guess, Matt and Victoria and I'm starting school tomorrow as a junior.' Alice got up and gave me a hug. I gave her a hug back slightly awkwardly.
'I'm Alice! We're gonna be friends! And that's Jasper.' Jasper stepped forward and shook my hand. 'Then Esme, Rose and Emmett.' They all gave me a hug. 'And the guy really grumpy guy in the corner who looks like something out of a horror movie is Edward.'
'I don't care what I look like Alice! I'm not changing! And I'm sorry for scaring you Haley.' I nodded at him.
'I love your hair! Let me guess based on Haley Williams from Paramore?' Alice asked reclaiming my attention. I nodded. 'Awesome! Me and Edward are juniors too! Well, he will be if I can get him to change and go to school. Do you have any powers!?!' I laughed at how the subject changed so quickly.
'I can make a mental barrier against some vampire's powers and can change my appearance just by thinking about it.' I concentrated for a millisecond switching myself so I looked like Alice. She laughed so I concentrated to turn myself back to normal. Unfortunately I got it wrong and went back to Bella but I managed to make it look like nothing by switching to Haley twice as quick. 'I'm stronger and faster than any vampire I've ever met and I have a natural talent for fighting. What about you guys?'
'I can see the future, but it changes depending on your choices. Jasper can mess with you emotions and is good at fighting. Edward can read minds and is the fastest and Emmett is super strong.' I turned to Emmett and raised an eyebrow.
'Arm wrestle?' I asked and he laughed.
'Easy. Right this way.' He led me outside to a large, flat boulder. 'Alice, judge.' She nodded and sat in front of the boulder.
'On 3. 1 ... 2 ... 3!' Emmett shoved against my arm but I didn't move a fraction. He grunted with the strain. I yawned then checked my nails.
'Is that all you've got?'
'You haven't won yet.' He snarled.
'Oh sorry! Did I forget to finish!?! Again!' I slammed his fist into the rock and everyone laughed except Emmett. Then Edward started to chuckle and all the Cullens stopped to turn and stare at him.
'What!?!' He cried indignantly.
'This is the first time you've laughed in over 120 years! Edward it's great!' Alice ran over and gave him a hug and the rest of the Cullens smiled. Esme came over and hugged me.
'You made Edward laugh! The first time since ...' She trailed off but quickly regained her composure. 'It's wonderful!' She hugged me again and I laughed.
'Glad to help. And I'm here if you ever want to talk ... Or race.' I added slyly at the end, a challenge in my words. I threw my barrier over Alice so he couldn't read her mind. He picked up on the challenge.
'You're on! Carlisle will judge.' Everyone was staring at him in wonder and Carlisle stepped up.
'Run to the trees and back. First one back wins. No fighting or disabling your opponent in any way. 3 ... 2 ... 1 .... Go!' I threw myself forward leaving Edward behind. I was back before he'd got to the trees.
'Okay. I'd say Haley wins that one.' My shield snapped off Alice just as Edward came to a graceful standstill by my side. Then the wind blew, hitting me and blowing my scent straight at Edward. He whirled and faced me.
'Bella.' He said. Uh oh. Act confused Bella, act confused.
'Ummm ... Sorry what?'
'You smell like Bella.' I worked to keep a confused look on my face, which was hard considering I wanted to throw myself at him and beg him to take me back.
'Who's Bella?'
'Ummm ... Never mind. Sorry.'
'Oh. Well, I have to go now. To see Matt and Victoria and get ready for school. Oh! What should I wear!?!' I shook my head and started to run through my closet in my head, mouthing my outfits to myself.
'I'll come help!' Alice volunteered.
'Oh you will!?! Thank you!'
'That's okay. Come on.' We ran through the trees in the direction of my house.
'Ummm ... don't fight with Victoria.' I said as soon as we were out of hearing and I had put my shield over Alice again.
'Why?' She said, confused. I had to tell her, she was my best friend.
'Because it's James's old mate. The one that visited when we were playing baseball.'
'Oh my god! I knew it! Your staying back at Charlie's! please change back! To Bella! So I can see!' I laughed at her but changed back to my normal Bella look. Alice screamed and launched herself at me. 'I missed you so much! I knew you weren't dead! Edward gave up hope 30 years ago but I didn't! And you're going to have to be more careful around Edward until you're ready to tell him. If he wasn't half crazy from losing you he'd have worked it out by now!'
'I know. When I flicked back from looking like you I went to Bella then Haley 'cause I forgot. But I missed you so much! I had to tell you or I'd start to say something and you'd get confused! But don't tell anyone else yet. I'm not ready.'
'Sure.' She hugged me for what seemed like the millionth time today. Not that I was complaining. I missed her that much as well. 'Wait. You said Victoria was your sister but didn't she change you? And she was evil to you!'
'Well, she changed me because I was dying. Then she realized how lonely she was and we bonded. "Loves rejects" she used to say.' I laughed at the memory. 'It took me 14 years to convince her to become vegetarian and then 26 years after that she met Matt. That was sad. I had never felt more alone. Then we spent the next 80 years travelling like you lot do. Here we are.' I opened the door and saw Matt and Victoria sitting on two chairs in the lounge. I ran in and jumped on Matt's lap, flirting in a totally joking way. We always did and our bond was totally brother and sister.
'Hi honey I'm home.' The three of us laughed and Alice stood looking confused in the door way. I gave him a hug then stood up. 'I brought a friend. And please don't kill her.' I went and grabbed Alice towing her forward. Victoria caught sight of her.
'Alice Cullen. Long time no see.'
'Yes. 120 years. I still haven't forgotten the video your darling James made.'
'Urghh. Darling? That scum? Wait. What video?' Victoria had come to hate James after she found out how he had tortured me and she didn't know about the video.
'James made it. While he was terrorizing Bella. He killed my creator and left me.'
'He what!?! That lying bastard! He never told me!' Then Victoria did the one thing I never thought she would. To one of the Cullen's at least. She gave Alice a huge hug, rubbing her back. 'Awww sweetie! I'm sorry! I never knew!' Alice wrapped her arms around Victoria, hesitantly returning the hug.
'Right, Alice. That's Matt - Victoria's husband - and don't worry about the whole me jumping on his lap thing it's just our little joke. And will you please help me choose something for school tomorrow!?!'
'Sure Bella. Let's go!' I led her upstairs to my wardrobe.
'It's in there.' I said and she ran off. The last thing I heard for the next few hours was an:
'Oh my friggin' god! Your wardrobe is awesome!'
