2000s
"Why are you being so nice to her?" Jasper asked. It was a question that Edward and Rosalie were thinking.
"You don't seem to understand how important she was, and still is to me." Carlisle said as he walked down the stairs. "Without her I would probably be dead by now. She taught me everything. She was the one who suggested I become a doctor." He grinned thinking about the memory. "You don't have to worry about her hurting us, Jasper."
"Her hands were on fire and she wasn't burning!" Jasper shouted. Edward grimaced as he saw the memory of that day in Jasper's head.
"Yes, her gift is fascinating. Knowing Bella as I do, she will probably leave once she's learned everything she can here. It's best to just bring all the books we can find in the house and leave her be."
"But she hunts humans, you need to tell her she can't hunt here."
"She already knows. Even though I don't have the area marked it is obviously ours. Bella would never hunt in someone else's territory unless she was looking for a fight." Carlisle grabbed two large boxes, then handed one to Edward. "Come on help me bring these to her." Edward let out a frustrated sigh, not believing that Carlisle was just going to let this vampire completely take over his office. Jasper was growling again.
"Fine! I'm taking Alice with me and we'll stay at the house in New York. I'm not going to wait for her shadow to come here and burn the whole house down." Jasper said as he ran back up the stairs. "Call me when she's gone."
I'm sorry to say that this story only has a few more chapters to it. I'm thinking about tacking on a long chapter about Bella becoming a vampire at the end. Anyone interested?
