Frozen Tears Chapter 2

Again I don't own Twilight or its characters. I play with them and put them back on their shelves. This chapter will be in Bella's point of view.

Chapter 2

I stomped up the steps of the bus, ticking off the reasons I hated my parents. The biggest reason of all, sending me to a camp, a crazy kids camp to beat all. All because I chose not to speak. If they had listened all those years ago, I might be talking today. I forced myself to stop thinking about him, that day and my eyes from leaking those traitorous tears. I let my hair fall over my face as I walked down the aisle of the bus and stole glances at my fellow campers. Most were blank faces with nurses hanging over them. It was an interesting bunch to say the least. There was a small girl looking about my age, staring out the window smiling at something no one could see, a jock tossing a baseball into the air over and over again trying to impress a cold looking barbie doll. Said barbie doll was trying to ignore him. In the back, wearing a huge cowboy hat, dark shades and a scarf, was a think rail of a boy or man who looked very uncomfortable. In front was a waif of a boy my age or older, that was glaring at everyone around him.

I chose the only empty seat next to the small smiling girl. I smiled as I sat down and made sure I was hidden behind my hair. I pulled out my worn book and tried to ignore everyone around me along with the feeling my parents was sending me to the looney bin or worse even death. The girl turned to me and smiled. "Hi I'm Alice Brandon. We're going to be great friends. I can just tell."

I just smiled at her and went back to my book. She continued to talk the whole trip but I honestly couldn't tell you what she was talking about. Soon we were getting off the bus at this very beautiful estate. It didn't look like a camp or a hospital. On the steps was a very gorgeous couple standing at the bottom of the steps smiling at us.

"Listen up. For those of you that are new, I am Carlisle Cullen and this is my wife Esme Cullen. To my left is Mike and Jessica Newton. Welcome campers, new and old. Listen for your names to be called. If it is called you will follow the Newtons."

He proceeded to call everyone but six of us. The others greeted each other like old friends and followed the Newtons and their nurse aids down a path towards the back of the house.

"Bella Swan, Edward Masen, Alice Brandon, Jasper Whitlock, Rosalie Hale, and Emmett McCarty, you six will be joining Esme and myself here in the main house. I hope your trip was enjoyable and you are ready to enjoy yourselves." Carlisle said.

We all followed Carlisle and Esme into the house.

"Excuse me Doctors." Emmett said as we toured the bottom level of the house.

"Yes son?"

"Why are we being separated from the others?"

"Yeah." Chimed in Rose.

"Now before you get all upset, you will be joining them for games and meals and activities. Esme and I decided that based on your files, we would be able to help you more than the newtons. They are therapists. They help enforce behaviors and routines established last year."

"So?"

"I just feel that we may be able to help you more."

"Fair enough." Emmett said as he shrugged his massive shoulders.
