You guys are just…awesome you know that? I mean, I barely update this story, the chapter's are short (and bad quality in my opinion) but I still am getting story alerts and reviews after all this time. That's just…wow.

I promise I'll update this story more. Kay? : )

Here's a flashback because you guys probably don't remember much.

"Bella…we're moving to Forks."

"…What?" was all I managed. That was where they changed me…and where Edward left me.

"Um, now before I continue..." the principle was cut of by some kids outside.

"Should we knock?" A girl asked.

"I don't know, do you think they're doing a test?" A boy answered.

"Why would they do a test on the first day of school?" Another boy said harshly.

"Uh, I don't know." The boy replied. We then heard a smacking sound and an 'ow'.

"Let's just go on in," a different boy said. They swung the doors open and sauntered on in, with their usual grace. I sucked in an unnecessary breath, and the others exchanged worried looks. The family that came in was the Cullens.

"Hi! I'm Alice! Sorry about Edward over there. He can get pretty mad when people mess up his car," she explained.

What? Don't they recognize me? I thought.

"So, what are your names," Alice continued.

Guess that answer is no.

"I'm Kristina, that's Shadow, Christopher, Jade, Michael, Katie, and Bella," Kristina introduced. They stiffened up when Kristina told my name, and Alice stopped bouncing, but they shook it off, although, the pain was clear in their eyes. Rosalie then sniffed the air.

"Does anyone else smell smoke?" Rosalie asked. We all smelt the air. It did smell smoky.

"Wouldn't the firefighters have put that school fire out by now," Emmett asked.

"Actually Michael can control fires, and that's why the one in the school started, but it's probably just a lingering smell. He wouldn't let it spread this far," Kristina explained. "Right, Michael?" She looked sternly at him. Michael had a sarcastic look on his face, but then it turned into one of realization.

"You've got to be kidding me. You didn't put it out?" I yelled at him.

"W-well, I was going to! But then we ran into the forest and I forgot," He stuttered. As Jade opened her mouth (probably to shout some unpleasant words at Michael) smoke got closer to us, and orange flames started to come near. Kristina dashed away to search the perimeter, but was back in less than a minute.

"We're surrounded! It must have spread without us realizing it, and it's getting closer by the second," Kristina told us worriedly. Sure enough the flames began to circle around us, devouring the trees and anything else it could get.

"Can't you just, you know, extinguish it?" Alice asked Michael.

"Not when it's this big!" Michael answered, and then we all formed a circle, our backs to each other and facing the greedy fire that crept its way towards us. Right now I could only think of two things. One, we were going to die. Two, if we did make it out alive, I was going to help Jade with the attempted murder against Michael she was probably thinking of.

" 'Kay you guys live, like, a minute away from us, and some of you need to hunt, so I'll let you go today, but tomorrow we WILL go shopping since the school will need two weeks of rebuilding and modeling. So, see ya!" She grinned, and then sped away the rest of the Cullens following after.

We followed suit, and as soon as we stepped through the door, I sped off to my room and the others didn't try to stop me. They knew I needed to be alone. My room was in the back of the house, had a balcony over looking the backyard, the other side was filled with books and CDs, and, even though I didn't need it, a single bed. I sat down on the bed, my mind swirling.

The Cullens were here, with us, and they don't even know who I am. I just don't get it. How could they forget? Do they want to forget me? Had I changed that much? I couldn't think anymore. Lying down on my bed, I took out my I-phone Nano (it's an I-phone and I-pod Nano combined. Each of us have one) and put the ear buds in my ear. But not that long after, my door opened and Kristina slid through. She sat next to me and I sat up, pausing Skillet.

She tried to smile. "Skillet?" I shrugged. Skillet was her favorite band. I didn't listen to it that much.

Kristina sighed. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know." I looked down at me feet. "It's just…how could they…forget me?"

"I'm not sure. But, by the looks of it, they didn't forget about you, they just think that you're a different person. A different Bella." She shrugged. "That's just what I think."

"You're probably right."

Kristina looked back up at me. "Is that what you want? You can tell them you know." I shook my head.

"That would be too…awkward. It's better this way. We can just, be friends."

"Are you sure that's what you want?"

I hesitated. "Y-yes." There must've been something in my voice, because Kristina pulled me into a big hug. This was why Kristina was my favorite in the coven. She's a tomboy, like me, and she can be harsh sometimes, but she does have a soft spot. Even if she rarely showed it. I heard the door opening, and we broke apart to see Michael standing in the doorway.

"We were fixing to go hunting," he told us. "Do you two want to come?"

"Yes," Kristina said, standing up. She looked at me. "Bella?"

I nodded. "I'll come, too."

We all ran into the Canadian Mountains, the whole time I was telling myself that this was better. It was better for the Cullens not to know me. To be…forgotten.

Kristina

"Guys," I whined, switching on my power. "Can me and Bells go to the bookstore? We're so tired." Katie and Jade, knowing what I was trying to do, made sure to avoid me eyes. Alice and Rosalie didn't know that.

"Well, I guess just for a little bit," Alice sighed, and let go of the grip on my arm. Rosalie did the same with Bella. Katie and Jade let go to, having figured out that they couldn't win. We dashed off as fast as we could out of Macy's without rousing suspicion. As we were running across the mall to Borders, I heard Alice's voice echo behind us.

"Wait! That's so not fair! COME BACK HERE!" Being who we are, we just laughed and ran on. She and Rosalie weren't too bad, but it'd take a while before they earned my trust after what they did to Bella.

Alice

Then there's Bella. Her behavior, her looks, her reaction to things, they're just like the Bella I once knew. I can't help thinking that it is her. There was proof that she had died all those years ago, but it might've just been a really good cover up right? When we were alone, I voiced my thoughts to Rosalie, but she just frowned and shook her head. She never really did like Bella, because of her humanity and Edward falling for her. But there's still a chance. This was her, Bella, my best friend. I'll prove it. No matter what.

Katie

Kristina and Bella always find a way to get out of shopping, even if we try to avoid Kristy's power! It's so not fair. After 100 years you think they'd give in or at least start to like it. I'll crack them eventually though. I seem to get along with Alice and Rosalie better than I thought I would. They're just like Bells described. Rose is a lot like Jade, if you think about it. Both are closed off to people they doesn't know, but kind and warm to people they've been with a lot. People seem to think that Jade doesn't like me, but she really does. She's, like, my best friend. She just doesn't show it all the time. I want to become just as good friends with the Cullens, but with everything that happened to Bella because of them, I don't know if I can.

Bella

We all sat in our grey and blue toned living room, me on the couch with Chris, Katie, and Michael and Shadow and Kristina on the love seat.

Shadow leaned his head back and groaned. "Jade!" He called upstairs. "Hurry up!"

"I'll be down there in just a minute!"

"More like ten…" I heard Kristina mumble.

"Oh my God." Michael groaned and stood up. "I'm gonna go ahead and go before we're late again." Katie followed him out to the garage.

"I'm out," I said and quickly followed after them. I heard Shadow sigh and him and Kristina followed us.

"Guys…" Chris started.

I waited for him at the garage door. "Coming?" I asked.

His amber eyes flicked to the stairs then back at me. He sighed and shook his head, but got up and came anyways. Everyone else had left in Shadow's McLaren, so I took Chris in my Jaguar. The ride was silent, since neither of us were big talkers, but it was still slightly awkward. I realized that Christopher and I never really spent much time alone together. That's saying something since we've been in the same coven for one hundred years.

I pulled in right next to Shadow's car where the others were waiting.

When we got out Michael looked at Chris and grinned. "You left her there alone?"

Chris shrugged. "She needs to get ready faster."

I rolled my eyes, knowing as soon as Jade showed up she'd go up Chris all pitiful and he'd apologize and do anything to make it up to her. She just had him wrapped around her finger. We all started to walk to the building.

"You guys left without me?"

Speak of the devil.

We all turned around to face Jade, her eyes flaring with anger and her hands on her hips. Shadow stepped forward to take leadership.

"You were taking too long to get ready Jade. We didn't want to be late again."

She scoffed. "Yeah, like we actually care about our attendance."

It was true. We'd already skipped a whole bunch this year, and it was now late September, and we could only afford two more absences each unless we want to fail. Which to us, it doesn't really matter either way. After going through school for as long as we have you don't care as much about failing or passing.

Kristina frowned and looked over Jade's shoulder. "Where's your car?"

Jade shrugged. "Didn't bring it. I ran here." Everyone gaped in surprise.

"You ran all the way here?" Shadow scolded. "That's dangerous! What if someone saw you?"

"Relax, I made sure to take the back roads. No one saw," she reassured us all.

Shadow groaned. "You can't just go running around places Jade. It's way too dangerous."

Jade rolled her eyes. "Oh please. Humans are so ignorant. They couldn't find us if they tried." Then she grinned. "In fact…"

She dashed out of Christopher's arms and into the woods, slamming into Michael on the way by and screaming, "You're it," over her shoulder.

For a few moments we all just stood there, but then- previous argument forgotten- we all ran into the woods and away from Michael, who was still standing in the parking lot.

Then I heard him yell, "Hey! No fair!" And he began to chase us as we all laughed at him.

Soon enough I heard Michael gain on someone to my left, Katie, I think, and then they started laughing. I laughed a little to, just at how much fun it was to run and push my limits. Of course, being a vampire, I didn't really reach those limits often. As a human I remember hating running, but that was because I wasn't good at it and I was a clumsy ox then.

Then, as I burst into clearing, I tripped over something and fell face down onto the grass, getting covered in mud. Okay, so maybe I still am a clumsy ox. I sighed. I mean come on, I'm a vampire for goodness' sake, shouldn't I have some gracefulness? I laid there for a few minutes, listening to the shrieks of my coven as they were chased by Michael, who was still it. I eventually sat up on my knees and scanned my surroundings.

I realized darkly that I'd tripped into a cemetery. I could see many crumbling headstones and crypts; almost everything was covered in green vines and nearly engulfed by the untrimmed grass. I out of bored curiosity, I scanned the row of headstones I'd fallen in front of. When I reached the one in front of me, I froze.

A cold numbness shot threw my body, and my mind shut down. I couldn't think, or move, or process anything. The sound of my coven sound muffled and distant, like I was listening to it from underwater. Not that I was paying them any attention anyways. I wasn't even here anymore in the graveyard, not really. My mind was replaying that day a hundred years ago again and again. When everyone was crying and I had to watch but couldn't do anything because I was supposed to be dead.

There was a burning sensation behind my eyes that I recognized as venom. That's the equivalent of a human crying, a burning in the back of your head. Somehow I missed crying, being able to just scream and sob and let all of your emotion flow out of you. But I couldn't do that, because vampires can't cry. They can't physically show all the emotions that they're feeling. Not like I could move or make a sound anyways.

Somehow I registered as Michael burst out of the woods and ran past me, smacking me on my shoulder as he went yelling, "You're it!" I didn't move or look towards him, making no signs that I had even seen or heard him. I just sat there on the damp ground, and stared at the headstone.

Michael stopped and came back over to stand next to me. "Bells?" He looked at the grave and sucked in a breath. Completely unnecessary for us, but it was a leftover human habit. Then gradually my coven came into the clearing looking for us, just to stop dead and stare at the grave with me.

My grave.

The memory of my funeral came flooding back to me, even though for years I had repressed it. Having to watch in the shadows as everyone was crying and shaking, and I realized how much I really meant to everyone. I hadn't thought that I could cause everyone pain like that. And watching them all cry, Charlie, mom, everyone from school, that was the worst pain.

But I wasn't even gone, not really. I was so tempted to go out there and show them and say, here I am guys! I almost did too. But Shadow had caught my arm and looked me in the eye, just slowly shaking his head.

For a while I had hated him. I'm not sure why really, looking back. I mean he couldn't have let me go out there. It would have been chaos. And the pain was quick to fade, or at least quicker than I would've thought. Just fade though, never really go away entirely. But it's not that bad now, thanks to my coven. They're my family.

"Do you want to go home?" Kristina asked me after a while. Her and Shadow sat on either side of me. She didn't ask, are you okay? I was glad for that. It was a stupid thing to ask, and she knew it.

I nodded. "Yeah, let's go." Looks like we'd be skipping school again. Oh well. I doubt anyone cares.

We walked back to our cars in silence, just taking our time. The burning behind my eyes lessened until it dissolved completely. And the silence didn't last too long. By the time we got back to our cars Jade and Michael were in a heated argument about something stupid. I smiled slightly. This was my family. I love all of them.

Notice I did my best not to mention my old family, the ones who forgot about me. My family now, they would never do that.

I'm sorry it's a little boring! There's a little bit of plot development in the beginning though. Slightly.

R&R? Those of you that didn't completely lose faith in this story…
