The years passed quickly, and Minnie and I had been living in USA for the past 78 years or so. We had worked as FBI-agents, thought that was a quick affair. It was fun, but they questioned our strength. We were too strong, and we had to move away because of the suspicion. We tried out as police-officers and we made a great team. Many criminals had been sent to jail because of us. Me seeing the past, Minnie detecting the lies, and our looks combined, made the criminals confess fast.
We had just moved to Forks, WA, and I had decided to start High School over again.
We had both been High School so many times we had lost count. We had taken many degrees as well. I think we had been to all Ivy League colleges, had lived in so many cities. Minnie would pose as my older sister; she would work at the hospital. I had persuaded Ms. Cope to allow me to have Felix with me in school. It was rather funny actually. I made my puppy dog eyes, and told her that he was my only support. I told her that my parents had died, and that Minnie was hard working, almost never home. Felix was the only comfort I had. She had agreed after I had assured her that no-one could get allergic reactions to him. "I have allergies myself, but he's a special breed," I had explained. So I was able to have FeeFee with me in school the first day.
We had just finished packing out our things, when I decided I wanted to explore the forest around our home. In the time we had lived in the US, we had started living in houses we bought and not abandoned cottages. It was nice; we would normally buy 2 story houses, share the top one, and have kitchen, living room, study, guest room and dining room on the bottom floor. We had both a bathroom and walk-in closets attached to our rooms. Our garage was filled with cars; we both had a weakness for speed. We shared a Midnight blue Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Roadster, a red Ferrari California, a Mercedes McLaren and an AudiR8. Besides, I had a motorcycle. Minnie preferred to not drive them.
"Min, I'm going for a run. I need to hunt for tomorrow anyway, I'll see you later!" I yelled into our Victorian-style house. It was very beautiful, and there was forest all around it. We had already encountered the wolves, and they told us the rules of some treaty they had made with some other vampires. Of course we promised to keep them.
"Okay Bella! I'm just decorating my room!" She yelled to me. Grinning, I ran into the forest and just around. The nature of Forks was very pretty; everything was green; even the light was greenish. I came across a mountain lion, something I hadn't tasted in a while. Happily, I drank it and kept running. I was laughing and dancing around the forest, when I caught the scent. It wasn't more than a couple of days old, and it was vampire. Curious, I followed the scent. It led me even further into the forest, until it mingled with even more scents. There was 7 smells all together. I frowned. Vampires usually couldn't live so many together. If they lived off of humans, that is. The only exception I had heard of was the Volturi. I came to a large clearing where the most beautiful mansion was. I knew I had to keep quiet, so I held in the gasp and ran to a tree. I wasn't ready for confrontation yet. Crawling into the tree, I saw that from it, I could see an office. And inside that office, was a man I had never ever thought I would see again. My father. I was so happy my heart would have been fluttering against my ribcage if I was human. His blond hair and kind face shone with compassion and gentleness. I could see myself in him; my eyes, my cheekbones, my hairline, my nose. He had golden eyes. I could have screamed out loud and done a happy dance that I had found my father, and that we survived the same way. I wanted to run, not caring who saw, and attach myself to him in a bone-crushing hug; never letting go. I wanted to burst through the doors and not let anyone get in my way. This was what I had been waiting for, for over 300 hundred years. I never wanted to go away from him.
Suddenly, I was being dragged down by two sets of large hands. I screamed and fought with all my might. I had been attacked too many times by my uncle. And I was a vampire. I shouldn't be able to be caught. Fear shot through me; would they hurt me? I trembled with fear and tried getting free of the grasp I was in.
"No, no, please! Let me go!" I cried. I hadn't seen the vampires yet; I couldn't see their past. I had to see the person, whether it was just his or hers hair or look them in their eyes; I had to see some of the person to look into their pasts. Frantically I looked around and saw a huge fellow; his past flashed before my eyes; Emmett Dale McCarty, now Cullen, born 1915, turned 1935, husband to Rosalie; a whole lot of memories I didn't need and no special powers. He was curious, but at the same time angry; he wanted to fight.
I got a look of the vampire's, who held me, hand. Jasper Whitlock, now Hale or Cullen, turned 1863, born 1843, Major in the Civil War, newborn Army trainer. Husband to Alice; ability, empathy. He was a very experienced fighter, but I think I could win if it came down to it. 300 hundred years of fighting experience must beat his 150.
"How dare you spy on us?" He hissed. I felt the fear growing stronger; would they hurt me? Like James? I shivered at the thought. His plans were to fight me if necessary. I hoped it wouldn't come down to that.
"I didn't spy!" I was getting angry, but the fear was still there. I had been through too much to not feel it. He didn't buy it. But I hadn't been spying!
"Let me go, let me go, let me go!" I screamed. I was getting really angry.
"No! You have no right to spy!" Jasper yelled. I just wanted to throw him off, but that would mean fight. That wasn't the smartest move right now.
"I did not!" I screamed at him in my British accent.
"So sitting in a tree, watching Carlisle through the window is not spying?" Emmett said. He sounded like he was always curious. According to his past, he liked to prank and tease my father about his accent.
"I. Was. Not. Spying! Listen I'm sorry okay? I just really want to meet him." Even to myself I sounded strangled. Why wouldn't they let me see my father?
"Why?" Jasper asked. He was struggling to keep in place; I nearly had him.
"Because, I have been looking for him. Now let go of me, Empath." I whispered. I was getting tired of this. I screeched.
"Emmett, can you just hold her?" Jasper asked. My statement about his power and my screech had surprised him; he was losing his hold on me. Emmett held me again his chest with my hands in front of me. I thought fast; I threw myself forward and landed on my hands; my one foot flew upwards and hit him, sending him flying over me and into a tree. He roared as he flew through the air. There was a loud crash from the impact. Poor tree; the dude was huge. I did a front flip and landed on my feet again. But then Jasper got a hold of me.
"Oh for Christ sake!" I screamed. Realizing it helped nothing, I just stopped struggling; there was no point anyway.
"I'm sorry." I whispered and started sobbing. Here I was, within 20 feet of my father, and I was fighting against his family. I slumped and just let him lead me to the house. Wait, he led me to the house! I almost turned around and gave him a hug. But I didn't. I was really mad at him. Emmett was on his feet again, he had gotten over the surprise, and he opened the door. Once inside, I sighed quietly once, and looked up, directly into the eyes of my father. My happiness spiked again, and I leapt for him, Jasper had loosened his grip, so I was free to run for my father. What I didn't expect was his wife, Esme, to stand in front of him.
"How dare you?" She yelled. I cringed back. I felt like I could cry. I knew my father knew who I was; when he saw me, he looked like he was going to faint.
"Esme, please. Let me say hi. I haven't seen him since 28th September 1676." She looked confused, and I used that to my advantage. I jumped around her and flew at my father. I ran so fast that is knocked him over. I hugged him, and started dry sobbing with happy tears. He hugged me back, and I was so happy in that moment, that I felt nothing could happen to me; no one could burst my bubble. How very wring I was. Jasper, I think it was, tore me off of my father.
"NO! Papa!" I yelled. Everybody froze. Jasper let go of me, and everybody stared at me. Sheepishly, I looked down on the carpet and put my hands behind my back.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have disturbed you this way. I'm just going to go." I had never done anything to hide my British accent; I was proud of it. I turned around to leave when my father's voice cut through the tense silence.
"Choco! Wait!" He said. Choco? I smiled as warmth spread through my being. He hadn't forgotten.
I turned around and ran to him again. He was standing again, and he held me tight. I didn't care; I had found my father after seeking for him since I found out he was alive from Aro.
"Oh Isabella. I thought I would never see you again. I'm so sorry about what happened back then. The hunt went wrong and I was changed." He said.
"I know Papa, I know. I saw it." He stiffened.
"When you say saw what do you mean?" I looked at him and grinned. Then I looked at Alice, and her past flashed before my eyes. She couldn't remember herself, but that was because she had been in the Asylum for so long. I gasped, let go of my father and ran to her. She was very surprised to say the least when I took her into a hug.
"Oh, Alice, I'm so sorry. Parents shouldn't do that, not at all." I said to her. She was frozen.
"W-what do you mean?" I had noticed Jasper was very tense.
"Relax Major, I ain't gonna hurt her." I smiled at him. He looked confused to say the least.
I looked Alice in the eye and said to them all: "I think it's about time I tell you about my power." They nodded, but Alice still looked fearful.
"Can I just call my sister?" I asked. Carlisle frowned at that but shrugged.
"Of course dear, you can use our phone." I smiled at him. I didn't want to let go of him, but I needed Minnie there when I told my dad about my past.
"Thanks!" I danced over to the phone and called Minnie, the euphoria still very much present.
"Minnie!" I screeched when she picked it up.
"Jeez, Bella what's up?" She laughed.
"Min! My Papa lives in Forks! I found him! Follow my scent and come here, bring Felix." I told her.
"Bella! That's great! We'll be there in a few."
"See you Min!" I said and hung up.
There, the reunion at last! I hope it was worth the wait! :)
Cheers!
