I know you hated the wait, but it was more than worth it! Hope you like it!
Day 1
BPOV
Good news, Alice said that I'd have my voice back in three days, and that I'd be fine. Bad news, Emmett was making use of my not being able to talk, and was torturing me, talking my ear off, and of course there was Edward in the house who I managed to ignore with grace.
"Bella, are you really sure that you're going to be able to talk by Saturday? I mean because we have a show and all that day, and if you can't talk by then, then we'll have to start learning some lead guy songs." Aiden said with concern.
I rolled my eyes and pulled out the dry erase board that I had been provided with so that I could communicate with people and scribbled down something. What day is it today?
"Today is Wednesday." He answered.
Well Alice said that I should have my voice back in three days, so I guess I'll be fine by Saturday, but I want you guys to prepare just in case. I scribbled down again, and he nodded.
"Bella!" I heard someone calling me in the house, I wasn't sure where from, so I guess I'd just wait till they came and found me.
"Isabella Marie Swan!" The voice yelled again, Okay it had to be a Cullen family member, it had to be. I never told the boys my middle name.
Aiden looked at me for a moment then disappeared. I stared after him dumbfounded that he'd just leave me here, sitting in the living room all alone while I was about to be attacked by a Cullen.
"There you are!" A high pitched voice chided me from behind. "What are you doing here alone? I thought I told you to stay with someone." She said and pursed her lips.
I wanted to be alone. I scribbled down my lie; it was easier to lie when I didn't have to talk. I was actually abandoned by Aiden. Stupid brother of mine.
"I don't believe that." She said her eyes piercing me.
I don't care if you do. I wrote and looked away. I could tell that that had hurt her, but I did want to be alone right now, there was so much to think about. Damon, Edward, and I all in the same house was really troublesome.
Alice just shook her head and walked away. I lay down on the couch and closed my eyes, and allowed myself to drift, it was already dark out and if I just let some hours slide by, I'd be closer to getting my voice back.
Day 2
BPOV
We can't stay here. I scribbled to Sam, Damon and Aiden. We were all in the sound room trying to get the boys ready in case I couldn't sing. They all looked at me surprised; Sam was the first to speak.
"But don't you love the, weren't they your family before?" He asked. Looking very confused.
They used to be, and I used to be with Edward and it's just too awkward. I can sense that the entire family wants us back together, and I'm not about to put myself in that situation. I wrote there was a brief second of silence as they read and then thought.
"But, haven't you noticed how many times we've left and they just keep finding ways to bring you back, like the first time we all met them, when they came to our old house and they were prepared to kidnap you! We may never get a chance to get away from them." Aiden said looking at the ground.
We have to try, I'll suffocate here! I wrote down. They all nodded in agreement.
"The day that we leave to do our show at The Case we won't come back, we'll just run and keep going until we find somewhere safe." Damon said taking my hand. I nodded. We needed to get out of here.
APOV
"So Alice, are you ready to tell me what you say yet?" Edward asked coming into my room. But in the moment that he came in I was blasted into a vision.
Bella, Damon, Aiden, and Sam were all performing on stage, the show was ending, they left the stage one by one, only Bella looked back and the look on her face was heartbreaking. Damon turned around and took her hand.
"Bella, don't worry. If they really loved you they'd realize that you weren't happy, and they won't come looking for you."He said and Bella nodded. The left the stage, and ran through the backstage, and out of a back door, and they ran, and ran as fast as they could away from the show, and from our family.
They were leaving us, it had already been decided.
I had tried to keep Edward from seeing it, but there was nothing that I could do. Voice had turned deadly, and his anger spiked, this was not good. At that moment Jasper appeared and sent waves of calm through Edward, who then collapsed onto the ground sobbing tearless sobs.
"He's poisoning her mind; he's trying to steal her from me." He cried. "What should I do Alice; I don't know what I should do here. I love her so much."
I looked at him in shock. His pained and anguished eyes looked up to meet mine. I had never seen this Edward before. Not ever when we left Bella behind had he behaved this way. Now seeing him on his hands and knees on my floor, I was stuck at what to say.
His head dropped back down to the ground. "I love her so much, I can't lose her again. I know he doesn't care for her like I do, Alice. He told me that. He told me." He said getting mad again. Jasper, who was still in the room, sent calming waves through him again.
Day 3
BPOV
By Carlisle's orders I hadn't uttered a word in the designated time period, and was everyone gathered in the living room to see the affect his had taken, we were about to see if I was able to talk finally.
The tension in the room was so much that I felt Jasper trying to get rid of it, though none of the tension was coming from my brothers, which was odd.
"Alright Bella, let's see if you can speak." Carlisle said. Everyone waited for me to say something. I opened my mouth, but I had no idea what I should say. It would be my first sentence in a long time, and really it should be something lame, it needed to mean something.
I thought for a moment, and then finally came up with a good one. The tension in the room grew larger everyone was becoming worried that I couldn't talk. That was until I did.
"Thank you, Carlisle, everyone for helping me once again, when you did not need to." I said a smile half smile on my face.
"Oh thank God." Esme sighed loosening her death grip on Carlisle's hand.
There were equal responses from everyone in the room, everyone but Edward who remained silent.
"I guess we'll all be performing tomorrow!" Aiden said happily.
"Can it cheese head, you're only happy because you couldn't learn the guitar solo for one of the songs." Sam said laughing
"Shut up!" Aiden said smacking him in the back of the head.
"RILEY!" Someone screamed from outside, I knew that voice!
We all ran out the door, Aiden, Sam, Damon and I all left. Once we got outside I threw myself into the arms of a red-eyed short blonde haired vampire that I'd missed so much.
"Riley, I missed you so much!" Caroline squealed hugging me tightly to her. It didn't take too long before the Cullen's also stormed out of the house, and dropped into a fighting stance.
I let Caroline go, and then turned to the curly blond haired man next to her who also had deep red eyes and gave him a big squeeze too. It wasn't just Caroline and Heath that had made a journey down here from Canada from the Coven that was often known as "The Freaks". Nope they had brought back up, two other vampires that I had gotten along with just fine, Natasha and Thomas.
Natasha was Russian, and was born in current day Russia in 1895, she was kind of short, my age in looks, had short red hair that fell to her cheeks, and a baby face with red eyes.
Thomas was Natasha's mate and was also from Russia, born there in 1892, he was tall with spiked black hair and red eyes. He was a bit older in looks compared to Natasha but they were in love, they had actually knew each other in their human lives and had been together ever since, they were really romantic.
"Nattie! Tommy!" I scream and threw hugs at both of them.
"Riley, we missed you so much." Thomas said while I hugged him. "I cannot believe that you left me with Natasha! I mean, how rude!" He said. We all laughed, well the Cullen's didn't.
The fact that they all had red eyes didn't g unnoticed by the Cullen's.
"What are you all doing here?" I asked them excited.
"Well we missed you all so much, and we figured it was about time you got your new power so we wanted to come and help you out." Natasha said smiling at me.
"Aw! Thank you Nattie!" I said. "I was so scared, I have no idea when it's going to show up, and I keep thinking that I might accidentally kill someone." I said honestly. The truth about this was, every time I had acquired a new power, we'd go to "The Freaks" for some help. They knew about the situation.
But I'd always been so out of it I never got to know any of them, that was until we all met up at the house when I discovered that Aiden and Sam were still alive.
"We'll always be here for you Riley." She said.
"Actually, my real name is Bella, I know everything now, I can remember. I had lied to everyone for the longest time, my real name is Isabella Marie Swan, and I'm from Forks, Washington." I said, and I went on to tell them the whole story about how I wanted to forget who I was until I was red in the face, well not technically.
"Oh, we don't care who you are, or where you're from, and you can be accepting of us and our habits…" She said pointing to her eyes, "well we can be accepting of you." She said.
"Thanks. I was going to ask about that. Did you feed on the way, because here…well it's strictly vegetarian, we have a pack of wolves the lives here. There's no human hunting allowed, the vampires that live here have a treaty with the wolves." I said nervously.
"Oh, of course we fed on the way here Isabella!" Thomas said making a weird face when he said my name. I admit it would be strange to have things changed on you like that.
"If you value your life you should call her Bella." Emmett said laughing.
"Oh, you can call me whatever you want Tommy." I said running my hand down his chest. This was a joke that Natasha, Damon, Tommy and I always like to play on people.
"Don't touch him you bitch!" Natasha screamed and launched herself at me. Everyone was laughing, but the Cullen's.
Natasha and I fought, kicking each other, punching, smacking, making it look real as we could, and I guess we did that pretty well because the Cullen's were getting worked up.
"Why are you laughing?!" Alice screamed at them.
"Do something!" Emmett echoed.
"Oh my…" Esme Breathed.
But it was Edward who stepped in and ripped Natasha from me and pinned her against a tree by her throat.
"Natasha!" I screamed and tackled Edward throwing him from her. As soon as I touched him, a loud noise filled my ears, and everything was hazy for a moment. Then there was an exploision, and my head felt like it was ripping in half.
I screamed out in pain, and collapsed to the ground.
"Bella! Bella are you alright?" I heard someone scream, but there was too much noise in my head to make out who it was.
"Bella what's wrong?" Someone asked.
"It's too loud!" I screamed. "It's all too loud!"
"Oh my…what's wrong with her?" A female voice asked.
Hope she's…
Holy crap this is going to…
Bella, poor poor Bella.
Can't she,
Edward is never going to catch a…
"Quit screaming in my head! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" I screamed at the voices.
"I think she can hear our thoughts, I think it's too much for her." Someone said calmer than the others.
"Everyone stop talking, and just think for a moment please." The voice said again. "Bella, honey tell me, can you still hear the voices?"
Just thinking
Hope you're okay…
No talking…
Still can't believe this…
All my fault…
"Yes they're still there, still in my head! Get them out!" I screamed.
"Alright everyone stop thinking, please block your thoughts." He said again. And just like that all the voices went away.
Finally I could open my eyes, and when I looked up I expected to see Carlisle, but instead, the calm voice that had been guiding me, and helping me hand been none other than Edward.
Hope you liked it. I know it took a while but I had to get all the votes in.
