New chapter

Bella's point of view

I just starred out of the window, watching Jake and Anna talk. I could tell that Anna felt uncomfortable talking to Jake alone, actually just being in his presence, period. I know it must hurt. I wouldn't know, so I really feel for her. I only wonder what it will be like when I find my singer. It must be painful. In my mind it seems like when you find your singer, it is like finding your soul mate. So, does that mean Jake is Anna's soul mate? Didn't Jake say when werewolves find their imprint, then that is their soul mate? I know he defiantly didn't imprint on Anna, but they seem perfect. I couldn't stand to see them not be together because of me! And I know my mind is made up on who is my soul mate. I know it will be painful, but it is painful without Edward, and everyday I'm not with him it hurts. I knew for fifty years that if he came back I would be with him, but when he did come back it was different. It felt like being betrayed. Like he only wanted to hurt me more, but actually we found him. He didn't find me, so I really don't know why I am so harsh on him. Maybe, it is exactly what I am saying, I found him, and he didn't care enough to find me. But I still know he is the one. I can't lie to myself any longer. And I know that my family will be all right with my choice no matter what. I know that they want me to be happy. They made that clear already. Actually, I haven't really seen them for a while. And I haven't been to school for like a month. So, maybe tomorrow we should go. Since it is Sunday. I think that is exactly what we need. And I know the girls have wanted to go to school for a while. So, it is settled, well at least with me. That reminded me that the girls are in bed and I haven't seen them for a good day or two. They must miss me so much. I know I have missed them like crazy. I wonder how they will feel when I actually say that their daddy is their uncle sort of now. And how will they feel when I tell them that Edward is their new dad. But me being as stupid as I am, realized that Edward might not even want kids. He might not even want to be near me, let alone be with me. I told him he could never be with me and now I am suddenly saying he can? He will be pissed and confused and probably taken back. I really hope he isn't mad at me. Seeing as though I am going to have to cause Jake so much pain that I know if I hurt Edward too, I would never forgive myself. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Anna came in, and she had a look of pure agony, and joy? I could almost laugh that she had so much love in her eyes and she probably doesn't even realize it.

"Bella, maybe you guys should go, it is getting late." Jake suggested as he entered without making a sound. I didn't even hear him come in so naturally I jumped. Everyone laughed at me and all I could do was just stand there and smile like an idiot and laugh at myself like everyone seemed to be doing.

"Okay, but we will probably be back tomorrow, seeing as though Syd has taken to Lanny so well and Dana must be dieing from not seeing Emma in so long." I said with a small laugh.

"Yeah, and I am the one who has to hear him talking about how adorable she is and stuff." Lanny said with a laugh. I couldn't help but giggle. Everyone had a quick laugh and I grabbed Syd and Anna to go home. I wonder how my family will accept them. I wanted to go straight home when I found them and see if they would be okay if they stayed. But I thought maybe the wolves would need to know, in case we need a new treaty. So I came here naturally but now I have to face my family. I knew it wouldn't be too good. They will be pissed completely that I didn't tell them first.

(Anna's point of view)

I started to go back in the house, when I saw that Bella had a look of pain on her face. Did she think that I am betraying her by talking to Jake? Since somewhat they are dating. No one can doubt that, I see the way they act. They seem like they are practically family. But I noticed Bella isn't looking at us. She is staring into space and she is deep in thought. So, maybe she is thinking of something else? I hope so. I don't know if there is anything between Jake and I, but if it does turn into something then I don't know how she will react. She might be angry, or betrayed, or even pissed. I should talk to her later about it; maybe she will talk to me about it. I can't be sure, though. Who knows, she might be happy if there is something between Jake and me. I mean I really don't think there is anything but a friendship. I mean I am not blind, I know he is insanely hot. I mean who can miss that. And he seems really nice and sweet. So, who is dumb enough not to feel attracted to him? But he is not dumb, first he hates bloodsuckers, I hate them too but I am one. Who am I kidding I hate myself. If I could change back I would. But I knew this was inevitable. I knew what my future held. I didn't think it would this soon, but it was going to happen whether or not I wanted it to or not. At least now I don't have to be afraid I will be turned or anything. Hey, when I noticed 'she' didn't come back when she was supposed to, I was happy and sad. I wanted to see her and know someone has actually cared about me, but then I realized I didn't have to go through pain anymore. I didn't have to be worried about being changed and have to adapt to a new life. But it didn't matter. Syd changed everything. But now I have someone. I have Syd. Even though she changed me and ruined my life, and I have only known her for about a day, I feel close to her. She is like a sister now. Maybe we can travel. Or go on in life together as best friends. She seems like someone I can trust. She is someone I want to trust. I just wish she trusts me. I want to be there for her, to know how she was changed and hear about her past. I want to help her and everyone else. I know that some Sara vampire chick changed her for some sick twisted plan on controlling the south. I heard her mention something about two people named Nettie and Lucy. Some Maria girl killed them. That is where she got the idea and started an army. I feel so bad for her. It must be hell remembering that as her life. I feel lucky that I can't really remember my life. I know I had no family. I know my name was Anna Johnson. And that Victoria enjoyed my blood. I know I met a family named the Cullens a while back. I know Bella mentioned them that is how I remembered them. I saw them at an old school. I was in their grade I think. I had known what they were and left, I only got so far before Victoria found me again and made me find somewhere more secluded. But other than that I remember nothing. I wish I could remember more but I can't. Bella said I have to meet them again, so maybe that will help. She doesn't know that I remember them. I hope they don't remember me.

"Anna?" Jake asked as I sat and starred at Bella while babbling in my head to myself.

"Sorry." I muttered as I walked into the house. Bella snapped out of her thoughts and muttered a goodbye to everyone as she pulled Syd and I out of the house. I said a quick goodbye to everyone and waved as we ran to the door. I gave Embry a smile and a wave, and then disappeared out of the house. We ran in silence until we reached a beautiful mansion. It is three stories high and one whole side of the house is a window. It is in the middle of the woods and the wood that makes up the house is a dark cedar. I just stood and gawked at the beauty as Bella laughed.

"This is where I live, our family is pretty big so it might be scary at first, but don't worry they will love you, but I have to warn you. A human lives here so no hurting her." Bella started to whisper with worry at the end. I nodded showing I understood, and Syd did the same. She smiled and we ran to the door in one quick motion. Bella seemed to gawk at me but I couldn't help but notice her grace and pose as she ran. She is the most graceful vampire I have seen.

"Let's go." She said as she opened the door and held her breath, once I stepped inside I smiled. This is where we are going to live. I have a family. It all dawned on me. I finally have something to live for. I could smell the human. It didn't make me thirsty though. It made me happy. We can live in peace. I noticed that Syd did the same.

"Guys, come down here." Bella said normally and walked into the center of the room. I saw girl with dark brown hair walk down the stairs. She has golden eyes just like Bella. She froze when she saw my crimson eyes. I only laughed.

"Bella, what the?" She couldn't say any more though.

"Ang, get everyone." Bella commanded. Ang did as she said. In less than ten seconds the room was crowded with 6 other people. I saw Ang, as Bella called her, with a man about her height with brown hair. He had the same eyes as the rest of them.

"Bella, what's going on?" Some man asked. He has the cutest little baby, with blonde hair. He has his arm around some girl waist. She is about 5'6 and has deep brown hair like Ang. I saw two other girls too. One has bleach blonde hair to her waist, she is about 5'5. And another with Red hair, like Haley Williams from Paramore. I think she will be someone I can hang out with.

"Everyone, when I was hunting I came across a girl lying on the ground. She was about done with the change and I couldn't save her. But I knew she could have a home with us. This is Anna and Sydney. Anna was the one that had been changed, and Syd changed her. She didn't know about this life, so she promised she would not do any harm to humans again, and so did Anna." She explained in a rush.

"So, they are family our family now. We will accept them." Said Ang with a smile.

"Yes, thank you." Bella said with an proud smile.

"Anna, Syd, this is Angela, and her mate Ben, this is Jess, and her mate mike, and this is Jamie and Lindsay, they are new to this life too-." She pointed to everyone but was interrupted by two bouncy little girls, about 6, running down the stairs and jumping in her arms. She kissed both their heads as they laughed and smiled. She turned to us. "These are my daughters, this is Lizzie and Emma." I noticed how Lizzie is human. I stiffened, but not because of her blood, but I feared that she might be hurt in a house full of vampires. Everyone noticed my stiffness but Ang reacted differently.

"She is safe with us, and you guys, you are family, so we trust you." Ang said with a smile and walked over to give us each a hug. I smiled at the gesture and hugged her back. I could tell I am going to like this family.

"Bella, the Cullens are on their way." Jess whispered. I stiffened. Looks like we are in for a night of chaos. I noticed how Bella smiled and nodded. How will they react to seeing me, and will they remember me?
