Chapter 2: World Travelers

Soon, we left the Cullen's house. We wanted to explore and travel the world, I took some of Alice and Jasper's money and invested it so I was able to acquire quite a bit of wealth for Elizabeth and I. After I made enough money I replaced the money I had borrowed. We traveled the world mostly on foot since we had not need to sleep or eat anymore. We traveled as sisters, we used the Masen last name, mostly. It is only recently we started using Swan again, now that my father has passed away. We reframed from using Cullen, because I didn't want them to find us. I didn't want him to know that I was a vampire, or about Elizabeth. Not a day has passed that I didn't think about him.

In our travels we spent time with many vampires, some practiced our lifestyle as vegetarians, some didn't. The ones that did usually mentioned the Cullen's or the Denali coven, we just acted like we did not know of them. Our excuse was we just don't want to kill humans and we have learned to control our bloodlust, so we could live among them. The regular vampires were always really curious about us. In our travels of course we learned about the Volturi. Elizabeth and I tried to moved around as much as possible to not be tracked by them, for we both have unique abilities. I am a shield, also I can use other vampires abilities, when I'm touching them. Elizabeth can show her thoughts with a touch, and she is a lot like Alice. She's intuitive.

We traveled for about 20 years, then we decided to buy a house in Alaska, we really couldn't pull off high school so we went to college. We have earned several degrees over the years. We just did our best to stay under the radar. We actually met the Denali coven. They never asked about Elizabeth's resemblance to Edward, we were grateful. I did not tell them my real name they know me as Isa Masen. They never knew I was Edward's human girlfriend. I enjoyed their company and hospitality. That is when I first learned that Edward and Tanya were together.

In casual conversation Carmen had asked me if I knew the Cullen's, of course I played stupid. She was excited because she had received an email from Tanya telling her that she and the Cullen's were now living in Nova Scotia, Canada. When I asked why she was living with them, she went on to explain to me that she was with Edward and they had been together for 15 years. Needless to say I had to leave Alaska as soon as possible. We traveled across the northern part of North America for the next 35 years, going to college, settling in small towns, opening local businesses and selling them when we left.

Five years ago we settled just outside of Seattle, we stopped by the Cullen's house in Forks to have a look at it.

"They've been here recently, they left about a year ago." Elizabeth said to me. We were standing in the drive way.

"Did they know we lived here for a while." I asked.

She chuckled "They wondered about the missing blood, but Alice covered for us."

"What do you mean Alice covered for us?" I looked at her confused.

Alice told them that she had to stock that freezer with blood, but she did not know why. Alice went on to tell them that whatever purpose that blood was to be used for already happened, I guess they bought it." Elizabeth looked at me and smirked.

"Does Alice know about you?" A wave of panic hit me.

"I don't know" Her face was blank.

We went home.
