I'd recognise that voice anywhere, I spun around, ignoring Edward's warning growl. I gasped in shock as I gawked at the gorgeous man stood in front of me, he looked just like he did when I knew him. Damon Salvatore was here in front of me, how? No it can't be, they should of died over a century ago, unless, no Katherine wouldn't would she? Oh god she turned them.
I decided to take a good look at the gorgeous man stood in front of me, he was also wearing black fitted jeans, a black fitted t shirt that emphasised his chiselled chest that I remembered like it was just yesterday, he also had a black leather jacket on.
My heart shattered as I took him in, he hadn't changed at all, I felt my heart thud in my chest so hard it started to ache. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and plastered a smirk on my face, I had learned my smirk from Damon so he knew it well.
"Well it couldn't have been all that great if I don't remember it huh?" I teased him as I crossed my arms over my chest, Damon smirked back at my and my heart stuttered.
"Miss Swan," Damon said while taking my hand in his and bringing it up to his mouth so he could press a soft kiss onto the back of my hand, I closed my eyes at the feeling of his lips on my skin.
"Mr. Salvatore," I replied as I curtsied like the lady I was brought up to be. I felt Edward stand up beside me but I couldn't take my eyes from Damon, who was looking straight back at me.
I quickly glanced at Edward once I had managed to tear my gaze from Damon's and saw that he was looking at Damon with a look of deep concentration and frustration then realisation hit me like a Mac Truck. I stepped towards Damon, contemplating on whether to slap him or kiss him. I surprised the both of us by giving him a tight hug, my arms wrapped around his waist, I breathed in his scent and I felt as peace and at home. I frowned and whispered in his ear,
"The penny head is a mind reader, his gifts don't work on us," I whispered so only we could hear then pulled back, a felt a pang of loss as I did. I caught Jasper's eye then shook my head slightly then turned back to Damon.
"How are you here?" I asked quietly.
"I could ask you the same thing," He replied while looking at me.
"Long story but let me guess yours, Katherine?" I spat her name and he nodded sadly. I took a deep calming breath to control my anger.
I glanced around the cafeteria and noticed almost all eyes were on us as the human teenagers came up with ridiculous scenario's on how we knew each other. They'd never guess it in a million years. Just then Lauren Mallory's voice could be heard, ruining any resemblance of a good mood I had from seeing Damon and Stefan again.
"Oh my god, what is it with Swan and all the hotties, first she gets my Eddie's attention and he's all over her and then all of the guys at La Push fawn all over her like she's hot or something and now Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome goes straight to her, she's not even pretty. What a slut," Her nasally voice hurt my ears like nails on a chalk board.
I saw Damon look at me questionably so I just shrugged my shoulders and rolled my eyes telling him silently I don't know what her problem is, he smiled and nodded his head. I looked at Edward and saw him frowning at how close Damon and I were standing, its not like he couldn't hear the vile thoughts spewing from her head. I narrowed my eyes at the bitch is question, one of these days I'm going to hurt her and get payback.
I looked over to see where Stefan was hiding too and my whole body tensed when I saw her standing next to him. I hissed and glared daggers at Damon who took a step backwards in shock. I stalked over to the pair, my inner beast snarling as it fought to get out, I muttered curses under my breath along with how I was going to beat the bitch to a bloody pulp. I almost reached them when I felt a warm, familiar arm wrap round my waist and drag me back to the Cullen table. I hissed at my captor the whole way as the Cullen's just stared at me in shock. I didn't care, my focus was on the bitch Katherine who was laughing and joking with Stefan, well she wouldn't be for long, I owed the bitch a staking. Damon pulled me around so he was facing me, he stared deep into my eyes, I struggled but he pulled me into his arms and whispered.
"Calm down Isa, it's not her, it's not Katherine. That is the Petrova doppelganger," My eyes widened at this news. "Her name is Elena, she's a walk in the park compared to Katherine, she's Stefan's girl." Damon whispered into my ear, I was frozen in shock, the Petrova doppelganger was highly sought after in the mystical world but I'm guessing she already knew that seeing as she was a vampire like Stefan and Damon are, I pulled myself out of Damon's arms and huffed in annoyance, ignoring the pang of loss that ran through my body, I narrowed my eyes at Damon.
"Good, you better be glad it isn't her because the next time I see that home wrecking whore, she won't live long, mark my words, I owe the bitch some pain," I spat out, my voice barely audible. The Cullen's were still standing stock still watching us, I turned my attention back to Damon who was suddenly looking very angry.. If he was going to stick up for the bitch then I won't be speaking to him for long. The next words out of his mouth shocked me to the core.
"Oh I believe you, I'll even help if you want, that bitch deserves everything we conjure up for her, knowing how our minds work it'll involve great pain for her, she deserves it though, she took everything from me," He said while staring straight at me.
I shifted uncomfortably. Damon sighed then rubbed his forehead with the heel of his hand, I raised my eyebrow and he mouthed 'later' in response. I nodded and turned in time to see Elena and Stefan walk over to our table.
Stefan froze for a moment when he saw me and then placed his tray down on the table beside ours, he took in my appearance silently and his eyes widened, I knew why but I hoped he didn't say anything in front of the Cullen's who were all staring at us like we were some kind of freak show.
"Isabelle, is that you?" Stefan asked quietly, I could see whether he was unsure whether it was me because I had supposedly died over 130 years ago. I nodded and was rewarded with a gorgeous smile from my big brother.
"Stefan!" I exclaimed as he opened his arms which I launched myself into, while trying to look human, he hugged me to him tightly and kissed the top of my head. I sniffled slightly; I had missed my big brother and was so happy to have him back here.
"I missed you so much! What happened to you? You just vanished! I tried searching for you but then after a few years I gradually gave up hope." Stefan said while pulling me out of the hug, gripping my forearms while studying me. "How? You haven't changed a single bit," He whispered.
I saw Elena eying me and Stefan warily, I think she was slightly jealous but then again so would I if someone launched themselves into my man's arms. I gave her a shy smile which she returned. I turned back to Stefan and before I could answer his questions, Edward pulled me out of Stefan's grip and into his cold, marble like side. I shivered in disgust but he thought it was due to his body temperature and let me go, thank fuck. I turned to answer Stefan's questions, he was standing there watching Edward with surprise.
"I had to Stefan, I just couldn't stick around after what happened, everywhere I looked was memories of what happened and then with the memories came the pain, I hope you understand that, I've missed you so much," I said sadly while looking at the ground.
When I looked up I saw Stefan glaring at Damon who had hung his head in shame. The Cullen's all had confused, gormless looks on their faces. Ha the know it all Cullen's didn't know this was happening. I turned back to Elena and smiled a sweet smile.
"Hi you must be Elena, I'm Isabelle Swan but you can call me Isa, Bells, Belle, Isabella or whatever you want, its so nice to meet the girl who caught Stefan's heart," I said while I held my hand out to her, she took it and we both shook hands gently.
"Its nice to meet you Isabelle, I'm Elena Salvatore, well originally Elena Gilbert, by the way did you have an Aunt in Mystic Falls, Virginia?" She asked me curiously. She whispered that her last name was Salvatore so quietly that only myself, Stefan and Damon could hear her.
"Yes I did, why do you ask?"
"I knew her, she didn't live that far from me," realisation hit me as Elena said that, I watched her warily and stiffened involuntarily.
"You said your name was Gilbert, as in Jonathon Gilbert," My eyes widened when she nodded. I remembered Jonathon Gilbert, he made a contraption that could find Vampires.
"Don't worry though, I'm nothing like him, as you can tell, I'm what he hated the most," I relaxed and nodded in understanding at her words.
"Thank Fuck for that," I said loudly; I could hear several Cullen's gasp in shock at my colourful vocabulary.
"All we need is alcohol, snobby people and a bunch of psycho's running around the place and we have ourselves a Founding Families gathering, oh the fun," Damon said sarcastically. I shared a look with Elena and we both started shaking our heads.
"Founding families of what?" Rosalie asked, sounding genuinely curious.
"The Salvatores, The Swans and The Gilberts are 3 of the founding families in Mystic Falls, Virginia, there are several other families. Back then most families married into another founding family," I winced at Elena's explanation and she looked at me curiously, I just shook my head and noticed Damon watching me.
"I've lived there all my life, Stefan and Damon moved back a few years ago and Stefan and I fell in love," Elena explained, everyone turned to me.
"I haven't visited in years, I used to meet up with my Aunt outside of Mystic Falls every few years, there's too many bad memories back there for me." I hadn't been back in over 130 years, the memories are still painful from Damon and mines relationship. "I avoided the council meetings like they were the fucking plague, they are so boring and snobby and almost everyone jumps to conclusions about you there," I winked slyly at Elena who nodded in understanding.
The Council in Mystic Falls knew about vampires and they liked to play vigilante. One time when I went to a meeting apparently they were suspicious of me so as I walked through the door I had a load of vervain water dumped over me, it didn't hurt me of course just embarrassed me. I mumbled the words 'silly old fuckers' and 'bastards' under my breath, which of course everyone at our table could hear.
"Bella! Why are you cursing so? It's so unbecoming of a lady like yourself," Edward and Alice bitched at me, at the same time may I add. Damon and I rolled our eyes while Elena shook her head in amusement. Stefan just gave me a 'WTF' look and I nodded which made him chuckle.
"Isabelle ladylike? Well I'll be damned, that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long while," Damon exclaimed. Stefan and Damon were in hysterics until I whacked them
around the back of the head and grinned when they winced.
"Damon, you are damned," Elena piped in, I gave her a high five and stuck my tongue out at the two pouting man stood in front of us.
"Elena, I think you and I will get along just fine," I commented.
Alice decided she'd had enough of not being centre of attention so cleared her throat rather loudly, I almost sneered at her but I restrained myself. Damon glanced at me and smirked knowingly at me. I shook my head with a smile. We were able to tell how the other was feeling at times. I shook my thoughts and turned back to the Pixie.
"Yes Alice?" I raised my eyebrows as she rubbed her temple. Looks like Edward's gift isn't the only one not working. Ha, take that Pixie Bitch, you're not so powerful now are ya? I saw Jasper smiling at my glee.
"Aren't you going to introduce us to your 'friends' Bella, its quite rude of you not to have done so already. Instead you chose to carry on a conversation while we're right here being ignored by you." I saw her sneer at the word friends. I stiffened, I was so tempted to give her a wave with my middle finger but I just plastered on a fake friendly smile.
"Of course, how rude of me, I apologise," I said while turning away and rolling my eyes. "This is Stefan and Damon Salvatore, their last name is Italian and it means 'Saviour'," I said with a smirk, I saw the Stefan grin at me. "This is Elena Gilbert, Stefan's girlfriend," I pointed them out individually.
I know I didn't introduce Elena as a Salvatore but it would look weird if they are married while still attending High School. The only ones being friendly-ish was Rosalie and Jasper. Biggest surprise there. The others were just openly glaring at them. Stefan was like my brother, I expected them to at least be civil.
"This is the Cullen and Hale's, this is Emmett Cullen and his girlfriend Rosalie Hale," Emmett frowned when I said Rosalie was his girlfriend, hmm I wonder what's wrong there. "This is Rosalie's twin brother Jasper Hale and his girlfriend Alice Cullen and finally we have Edward Cullen, they are all adopted by Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen." I explained.
Alice and Edward just glared at the Salvatore's, Emmett didn't pay attention, a few months ago he would of high fived them, made an inappropriate joke but no he just stared at the table, something was seriously wrong there. Rosalie surprised me by actually giving Damon, Stefan, Elena and I a small smile, Jasper did the same when none of the Cullen's were looking at them. I raised my eyebrow at her, she just shrugged then Edward decided to ruin the moment by stepping forward.
"I'm Bella's boyfriend," He said possessively while wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me to his side.
I rolled my eyes, so did Rosalie. Damon narrowed his eyes at me, I glared right back at him, he had no right to judge me after the stunt he pulled over 130 years ago. Elena, Stefan and Damon said goodbye and then went to sit on the table behind us, I could feel all of the Cullen's eyes on me as I poked at a piece of fruit unhappily. Why couldn't Edward just let me be and let me choose what I want to eat and when I want to eat it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a piece of pizza come towards me with a hand attached it, I turned around and saw Damon smirk at me as he placed the pizza in my hand.
"Thought you might like something a bit greasier than apple Isa," He said.
I jumped up and hugged him, placing a kiss on his cool cheek, I blushed when I realised what I had done but I was too happy to care.
"Thank you Damon, I think you just shot up a place on my 'favourite people' list," I squealed and took a bite of pizza, letting out a moan as I chewed on it, I saw Damon watching me intently, I smirked and let out another moan to tease him, it worked cause he cleared his throat and shook his head. He smirked then leaned in and placed his mouth by my ear.
"Well at least I still know what makes you moan," Damon whispered, his voice made me shiver, he pulled back and I heard a warning growl from Edward.
"Dude, did you just growl at me?" Damon asked feigning shock. I continued to eat my pizza.
Elena came over and handed me a bag of chicken nuggets. Nom. I started eating a chicken nugget and hugged Elena to me. I saw Edward step towards me with a frown, he tried to grab the bag of chicken nuggets but I danced out of the way.
"Thank you so much Elena! You're officially my most favourite person to date," I declared much to the Cullen's and Damon's disappointment while Elena and Stefan grinned in response, I think Stefan was happy Elena and I got along.
"Hey! I'm the most important person in the world to date," Damon protested with an adorable pout.
"Maybe when your ego isn't as large as it is now then maybe I'd consider it," I smirked.
"That's not the only thing of mine that's large," Damon replied suggestively while waggling his eyebrows at me, I just giggled.
"Keep telling yourself that sweetheart, if it'll make you feel better," I said in a placating tone which made Elena burst into hysterics.
"I could always remind you of how large it is," Damon winked; I knew he was doing this to wind Edward up and it looked like it was working so I decided to play along.
"I'm sure you would try and probably fail sweetheart, it takes talent to please me," I winked back with a wiggle of my eyebrows.
"Oh darling if I remember correctly, I pleased you many times before," He whispered.
"Then that means I must have pleased you too baby, if I remember correctly." I replied.
"Bella how can you be so vulgar?" Alice asked sounding completely disgusted with our conversation.
"If you don't like what you're hearing then don't listen in to peoples private conversations that have nothing to do with you Alice," I snapped, she blinked in shock which earned me a smile from Rosalie. I wondered what was up with Rosalie today, she was actually acting civil when normally she acted like I was the bane of her existence.
"Don't be so rude Bella, she was just pointing out the facts," Edward said defensively, I glared at him and he flinched back slightly, if I was human I would of missed it. Luckily for me I wasn't human.
"And so was I," I spat angrily at him, Edward and Alice were starting to piss me off Royally today.
I needed to get out of here before I said something I would regret later. I glanced down at my ugly clothes and grimaced. I needed to go shopping, Bella Swan, the Cullen's thought they knew hated shopping but Isabelle Swan, the real me absolutely loved it. I was tired of dressing like a pathetic, waste of space, fragile human when in fact I was anything but. An idea suddenly hit me and I smiled sweetly at Stefan, Damon and Elena, I made my eyes wide and innocent. Stefan and Damon narrowed their eyes, they knew this expression was something I used when I wanted something.
"What do you want Isabelle?" Stefan asked warily.
"Guys, you know you love me?" I asked innocently, making my famous puppy dog eyes, Edward growled but I just ignored him.
"What Isa?" Damon asked cautiously.
"I need you three's help," I grinned, they frowned. "Nothing bad, I just need some stuff moved from my storage compound and then I would like to get some retail therapy, get to know Elena," I pushed my bottom lip out into a pout, hoping they wouldn't turn me down when suddenly Mr. I'm-Trying-To-Piss-Bella-Off-Today Edward Cullen stepped in and opened his big mouth.
"Bella, I'm sure whatever you have in storage could be handled by myself, Emmett and Jasper and I'm sure Alice and Rose would be thrilled to take you and Elena shopping themselves." I sighed and looked over at Damon who looked like he was trying to contain his anger, so did Elena and Stefan to be honest.
I was trying so hard not to pummel his sparkly emo ass. I needed time away from them otherwise I was going to explode. Alice just sat there with a smug smile on her face. That's it bitch, say goodbye to Bella Swan human pet, say hello to Isabelle Swan, queen bitch.
"I am going with them and you will not stop me, Stefan, Damon and I have some catching up to do, its been years since I've seen them last and I am going to get to know Elena and I don't want any of you there butting into my private business," I started to walk towards the trash can with my still full tray when Edward grabbed my arm and spun me to face him. My tray clattered to the floor and all eyes turned to us.
"Bella, love I want you to stay with me and not go off with them. I don't like them, you will stay here with me and not argue with me, my word is final," he looked me in the eyes, his voice sounded hypnotising, his eyes were widening as he breathed over my face, smiling his crooked smile.
It suddenly hit me that he was trying to dazzle me into submission, I pulled my arm from him and he frowned in confusion. I saw Alice and Emmett doing nothing to stop him, in fact, they had hold of their spouses who looked furious, dazzling was a prohibited vampire talent. Alice, Emmett and Edward didn't care about me at all, I noticed at that moment, I was really some pathetic human pet, they really were the most selfish people I know. I saw people murmuring around us
"No Edward I will not stay here, no I will argue with you and I don't give a fuck if you don't like them. I'm leaving and if you ever try to use a prohibited vampire talent such as dazzling on me again I won't hesitate to report you to the Volturi, I'm supposed to be your girlfriend not your prey." I spat at him as I glared, I turned to the Cullen's who's mouths were all open in shock.
"How.. h-how did you know about that?" He stuttered. I smirked.
"I know a lot of things Edward and I also know that you've just put your entire coven at risk by doing this, we have witnesses and Aro will be able to read it from your mind straight away. Good luck in hell." I glared at Alice and Emmett.
I gritted my teeth as Alice rubbed her temples whispering 'I didn't see this, why didn't I see this' Jasper was trying to soothe Alice but she wasn't paying attention. Rosalie fixed her ice glare on Edward as Emmett held her back from ripping his limbs off.
I've edited this one also.
