Chapter 1 – 5 years

It's been 5 years since He left, It still hurt just to say His name, I was a changed person, no not like that, my personality, my looks, everything, I was still plain Bella but things were different about me such as,

My boring brown curly hair was now dark mahogany with red streaks, it fell in soft curls down to my waist, which framed my heart shaped face and made my strong cheek bones stand out, I was still as pale as ever but that didn't bother me the slightest, my eyes was still plain brown but now popped with the eyeliner, mascara and smoky eye shadow, my lips full an pouty made them kissable and irresistible and my nose was still the same button nose that I still loved.

My sense of fashion changed rapidly, I would only wear designer clothes now, and would actually wear high heels, don't look so gob smacked, I grew out of my clumsiness which I was so happy about. All in all Alice would be proud of me, I flinched.

In the last 5 years I was a changed woman, still a virgin but that didn't bother me as such.

After He left, Charlie said I should start to talk to Jake more, my best friend but even he was ignoring me, So I lost everything in the space of a few months, shit isn't it?.

I fell into depression, I would eat or go out, I would just sleep most of the time and make Charlie dinner as usual. Charlie threatened to send me back to Renee's which I really kicked off about. He backed off as soon as I told him I would go out more and be social.

After that I decided to not let anything get in the way of my future and I knuckled down and did my school work, After graduating school I went to Dartmouth College, Which He would of approved of, after College I went to university to study English literature, I graduated with amazing grade and now I was a free woman at the tender age of 23 years old, I have my own house, with my own money and an amazing car which Rosalie would absolutely love! A black Ashton Martin Rapide, Amazing right?

Anyway back to the present day, I was walking to the parking lot to retrieve my baby, It was dark outside seeing as it was 9:00pm, it was a cold November night, and the crisp wind was blowing in my face, making my nose tingle and go bright red, my hair flying loosely masking my face, too cold to push my hair out of the way I carried on my journey to my car.

I felt footsteps closing in behind me but I was too cold to turn my head, I walked faster, My baby in sight, the footsteps got closer, closer till I could feel their presence behind me, I sprinted well more like ran for dear life to get to my car, I felt a cold well more like freezing hand on my shoulder, gripping for dear life, the hot searing pain was building up and my arm started to ache, Too scared to turn around I asked.

''Who are you?'' I asked, my voice breaking slightly.

''Aww dear Isabella, I thought we was on first name bases now'' A smooth bitter sweet voice called out, I instantly knew who it was.

Victoria.

''What do you want Victoria?'' I tried my best angry voice, Failing terribly.

''Ahh you do remember me then, Well you know what I want, why not give it to me willingly and no one will get hurt. . .Well only you will'' I could sense a smile on her face as she chuckled a sickly sweet laugh.

I turned around in her grasp,

''Victoria I know you want my blood but why now?'' I asked, my confidence finally showing, Kinda.

''Well it was the element of surprise young one, but don't you remember, A mate for a mate?'' she flinched at the thought of James being torn in to pieces and burned on the fire.

''Ahh but that's where your wrong Victoria'' I asked, confidence still there.

''Whatever do you mean?'' She asked getting a bit pissed off with my attitude.

''Well Edward'' Flinch ''He left me, saying I was good enough for him, therefore it's not mate for a mate no more. Sorry'' Offering my best smile I could think of, She on the other hand had other plans.

''Well that's a different turn for the books'' she mused.

''Mmhmm'' I agreed.

I turned to leave but she reached out to grab my arm.

''Wait, how do I know that this is just not some trick your trying to play on me''

''You'd think I'd joke about something like that?'' I asked getting angry, I turned to glare at her, Wise move Swan wise move, I thought to myself.

''You know what? I WISH it was some kind of trick because then I could go back home to him and have him love me like he used to, But now. . .but now he left me saying he DIDN'T love me'' the tears started to fall down my rosy pink cheeks, ''Saying I was NO GOOD for him'' I was angry now at him but mostly at myself, I knew he didn't love me but I let my defences down ''WHY THE FUCK WOULD I JOKE ABOUT IT?'' She said nothing, just stood there staring at me in shock that I could actually stand up to her, ''HUH?'' I goaded her, ''that's what I thought'' I turned to walk away leaving her stood there in shock.

''Don't even think about leaving!'' Victoria finally snapped out of it, that's when I felt it, Sharp teeth piercing my neck, I let out a blood curdling scream, the pain, fuck it hurt so much. I know how He felt when He was telling me about it but this. . .This felt like dying hell, I felt the blood drain from my body and I knew instantly I was dying, I withered in pain, begging for her to stop but no such luck came to me, every time I struggled against her she would growl and hiss at me to stop, I really did see my life flash before my eyes, Me growing up, Charlie, Renee, Grandma Swan, meeting Edward and his family, Kissing Edward, oh god those lips, amazing against my own, I gave up, death might come easier if I just let it be.

''I love you Edward'' I whispered taking my last breath before the darkness overcame me.
