Chapter 8

"I'm so amazed by how you look like Katherine," Isobel said.

"Why are you here? How do you know Katherine?" Elena said to her.

"She found me after I was turned. Gave me a necklace, so I can stay in the sun." Bella stayed silent, just looking at the person who was her mother. It unnerved her how she much she looks like her. She could see that she had gotten her hair and curls from Isobel.

"Why did you make that man kill himself? The one who you sent to tell me to stop looking for you," Elena demanded. Bella cocked her head to the side curious for the answer.

"Traumatic impact. Too bad it wasn't as effective," She said coldly, uncaring.

"Human life? Does it mean so meaningless to you?" Elena questioned, appalled.

Isobel shrugged. "Absolutely. I have no care for these useless humans. It's a part of who I am."

"You're wrong. There are others that do care. Not everyone's like you," Elena said strongly, glaring at her.

"You mean like your boyfriend whose waiting for you outside. Stefan Salvatore. Why him? What about Damon? Or do you like toying with both? Like Katherine," she said, genuine curiosity in her voice.

Elena balled her fists, as her breathing got deeper. She hated being compared to Katherine. She was nothing like her.

Isobel stared at her for a moment, before turning her eyes to Bella "And what about you? My little one. My youngest child. Did you enjoy having a vampire as a boyfriend like your sister? Though he was of a different kind."

Bella blinked. "How do you know about that?"

"You don't think I've watched you, and the way you grew up. I knew your sister's adopted parents. I could trust them with her. But the people who took you, I knew nothing about them. So of course I kept tabs on you from time to time Stella," She said, almost caringly.

Bella stiffened at the nickname. "How do you know-" She began to say, but was cut off by Isobel.

"That's all I have to say about the subject. Now, on to why I'm here. That device your Uncle wants, I want it."

The girls looked at each other, and agreed it was finally time to go. "We don't have it, forgive us." Elena said, and the two girls began to get up. Very quickly, almost at a vampire speed Isobel grabbed both of their arms.

"Sit down. I'm not finished. I want the device."

"We don't have it," Bella argued at her.

"I know, and I know that Damon does. I need you to get it for me Bella," Isobel smiled at her.

"How do you know he'd give it to me and not Elena? Better yet, how do you he'd say yes?" Bella asked.

"Because I know he will. Now you better get it, either one of you. I don't care. But if you don't, then the blood that will be spilt is on your hands," Isobel said as she got up. "Nice to finally meet you two," She continued as she walked away.

Neither girl noticed the tears that streamed down their faces as they got up. They turned around to see Bonnie coming through the door. Bonnie, seeing the tears on their faces began to walk toward them, but suddenly stopped as she looked at something behind them.

Bell turned to see whom Bonnie was staring at; it was Stefan. She then looked backed to see Bonnie looking sorry before she turned away. She looked to her sister who looked even sadder than before. Bella sighed. "Come on. Let's go home," Bella said, She grabbed Elena's hand and the two walked to Stefan's car with Stefan right behind them.

Once they got home, Bella left to go to her room. She took her jacket off and jumped onto her bed. She laid on her side, and curled her legs into her. As she stared at the wall, she began to cry as the emotions brought from today got to her.

Meanwhile…Downstairs with Elena and Stefan.

"And that's what happen," Elena said, just finishing off explaining to Stefan what had occurred.

"Elena," Stefan said softly. His arms opened, and Elena climbed into them. Tears spilled through her eyes, and she hated it. She hated the effect her mother's visit brought-to her and to Bella.

The two lovers stayed like that until they heard the door open. Stefan released her, but still held her hands as they looked to see Jeremy and Alaric appear.

"You know it'd be nice to wait for us before leaving," Alaric said as he walked toward them. He paused slightly as he saw the tear trails on Elena's face.

"What happened?" Jeremy asked curiously, all been filled in on what was going on from Alaric.

The couple filled the others in on Elena had just said before.

"Wow," Alaric said as he leaned back against his chair. "So what do we do now?"

"Wait, where's Bella?" Jeremy asked, looking throughout the room to notice his favorite cousin not here.

Elena blinked, just realizing that Bella wasn't in the room. Before she could answer Stefan spoke. "I saw her go upstairs when we arrived." Jeremy left the living room to go find Bella. "Where's Damon?" Stefan asked.

"He left after he saw you three enter Stefan's car. Where he went, hell I know. Let's just hope he's not causing trouble," Alaric responded.

No one spoke, as they heard quick footsteps come down the stairs. "She's not in her room," Jeremy said in a rush as he walked into the living room.

"What do you mean she's gone? How could she leave? We would've heard something," Elena said as she sat up in alarm.

"I don't know Elena. You two were the ones who brought her home," Jeremy said harshly.

"Now hold on. We don't know if someone took her. Try calling her," Stefan said-ever the voice of reason.

Jeremy dialed Bella's number, but it went straight to voicemail. "Okay, let's not get too worried. She may have went out. Probably wanted to clear her mind. If she's not back by tonight then we'll figure out what to do next alright?" Stefan said before any of the siblings could freak out. Everyone nodded, as it was a reasonable possibility.

WITH BELLA…

Bella continued to walk as she looked at everything around her. She missed this. Walking mindlessly through the wood trials, admiring the nature around her. Here, everything looked so peaceful. Everything had a place…it was perfect.

She headed toward the lake that was hidden in a pretty forest part of the woods. She smiled as she felt her shoes make prints in the wet ground. She looked up and smiled. It hadn't changed at all. The lake still sparkled as the sun set light hit the body of water. It was a breathtaking sight. She walked on to the wooden dock, and sat down. She took her shoes and socks and dipped her feet into the water. She sighed as the coldness spread though her in a soothing way.

She closed her eyes, as her mind drifted off. Her meeting with her mother was nothing like she expected it to be. She wanted answers, but it was like her mouth was glued shut and no words would come out. And that thing with "Stella." How had Isobel knew that. She frowned as the thought drifted through her mind.

"Well now. A pretty face like that shouldn't have something as ugly as a frown on it," a voice said above her.

Bella jumped as the sound surprised her. She looked up to see whose voice it was.

DUN DUN DUN! So whose voice was it? (: Hehe. Where's Damon? Sorry it's kind of short, but hoped you liked it. Please review!
