Miami, Florida

Real time and date

"We went to that party together and he helped me back to my room when I was drunk off my ass but didn't try anything with me…he was perfect…we became best friends quickly. We were attached at the hip." Bella said crying while remembering how they first met.

"It will be fine." Madelyn said while hugging Bella. "I know it hurts now, but it gets better…I promise."

"I miss him." Bella said while crying harder.

"I know it's hard…but sweetie it gets better. I bet you will meet someone a lot better." Madelyn said smiling.

"I know but he was so sweet and everything…even when it all went wrong back on New Years Eve." Bella said crying.

"Shh." Madelyn said while rubbing circles on Bella's back. "Let it out…I am here if you want to talk but if not…you can use my shoulder to cry on."

"I shouldn't have started the fight with him but I did. I was just so mad…his whole family wasn't happy that I was pregnant and that our wedding had to be rushed. So of course his mother took over the planning." Bella said while crying harder. "Not even letting me pick out my own wedding dress. She picked me out something I would have never picked…but of course to get the wedding out of the way before the baby came…because they did not want the Mackenzie name to be in ruins…if our child was born out of wedlock…to have anyone knowing that I was pregnant…so his mother picked me a high empresses dress to hide any weight gain I could have had…I wasn't even allowed to go to a doctor or the hospital…I had to use their personal doctor…I was stressed that day because his mother had just showed me my dress…we were at his parents New Years Eve party…I was wearing this beautiful white gown…that was form fitting to were it flared at the end…with beautiful beading around the bust and on my thighs, beading on the straps, it showed my cleavage off nicely…I was wearing the beautiful hearts bracelet that he had given me for Christmas. It had me and his birthstones on it…everything was perfect on the outside…but I was dying on the inside." Bella said stopping to stare at the old woman. Madelyn gave her a small smile. "I was even wearing my lucky ring that James had gotten me. I had hearts connecting together with one big stone and had are names on the side of the band." Bella trailed off while she looked down at her ring. "Well see." Bella said while showing Madelyn the ring. The ring had both of their birthstones on it, along with their unborn child's birthstone. "I remember when he gave it to me…he told me that it was showing that we were going to be together forever." Bella said looking down at her ring again. She never planned on giving it back to him; he could have everything else he gave her.

"Very pretty." Madelyn said while smiling at Bella.

"Thank you…this is one thing I won't be giving back to him." Bella said while playing with the ring on her finger and she laughed a little bit.

"Well you shouldn't have to give it back to him…for everything he has caused you.'

"Well I did start it…like I was saying. We were due to marry the week after the party in Martha's Vineyard, but I lost the baby and I stopped talking to James…because I felt bad that I had lost the baby and I was kind of happy to lose the baby." Bella said while crying. "I wanted the baby…don't get me wrong…I want children but I wanted to be older and married…and having a good job…I did not want to be like my mother." Bella said while wiping her eyes. "Then we got back together after four months and everything was good. I thought we talked it about it and got over everything." Bella said while looking at Madelyn. "Then I got and find him with that slut…we both know her…she is a damn Force and thinks she owns everything…including him…we were planning on getting married still and then I catch them together" Bella said while crying.

"I remember the Force's…their not so nice. I wonder if they remember that they are related to the Mackenzie's or not." Madelyn said while looking at Bella, who began to laugh.

"What really…they are related to each other."

"Well yes dear…you did not know that."

"No of course not." Bella said while laughing more. "I wonder if they know."

"Probably…but its was pretty far back in the line. It goes back all the way back to the early 1800's or so."

"Ah…far enough back that if James and Victoria wanted to marry it would not be a problem." Bella said with a scowl on her face.

"Well you know us blue bloods." Madelyn said while laughing.

"I just really don't like Victoria." Both Bella and Madelyn began to laugh harder at what Bella had said. "Well at least I threw my engagement ring back at him…along with my bracelet after braking up with him." Bella said while crying more. "Then I went to a crazy dinner with my boss…who tried to have me killed…so I ran down here." Bella said while snorting at the thought. No one was going to believe her.

"Did you call the cops?"

"No." Was Bella's only replay.

"Why not…you should have went to the cops dear." Madelyn said.

"They wouldn't believe me." Madelyn looked at Bella with a confused face. She did not understand why Bella had not gone to the cops. Bella just stared at the water. They would not believe Bella if she told them that a group of vampires was after her. They would throw her in a mental hospital.

"Well I am not one to pry dear…where are you staying?"

"I am so sorry for telling about all this…you don't even know me." Bella said while putting her head in her hands.

"Shh dear…I don't have anything better to do with my time. All my kids are grown and raising their own kids now and playing with grandchildren…I don't mind listening and look it did you some good…did it not?" Madelyn questioned.

"Thank you." Bella said while getting up to leave. Looking down at her Blackberry Torch for the time. Three hours had passed already since they had begun talking and she really needed to get back to the hotel to check out. Check out was at 12. P.M. and it was already 11 A.M.

"Where are you staying and your welcome dear." Madelyn said smiling.

"Downtown part…I know long way." Bella said while laughing.

"Yes it would seem…when do you check out?"

"Today actually…I need to get back before 12." Bella said while checking her time again.

"Where do you plan on going dear…are you going back home?"

"No!" Bella replied quickly. "I actually have no idea."

"Well how about stay with me… I have a pool that empty now since my dear son left me for his boyfriend in France." Madelyn said giggling, which made Bella laugh.

"What…I can't." Bella laughed more.

"Yes you can…like I said…I have 7 kids of my own and they are all grown up with their own kids and grandkids. I am living by myself now…I would be more than glad if you would stay with me…me and husband are separated right now."

"I just couldn't" Bella said while looking down at the old woman.

"Yes…a criminalist lawyer but I still have to take my bar exam in July."

"Mmh…I need a divorce lawyer." Madelyn said smiling. "You see my sixth husband is trying to take me for everything my family left me."

"I took a couple classes in that subject…what help you need"

"I have a prenup but my stupid lawyer does not think that will help… I do not see why not…my family made sure that no one without Frost last name or without the Frost blood cannot take anything that belong to the Frost name."

"Really." Bella was shocked. "Wow…mmh."

"Yes…now dear go get your stuff." Madelyn said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes…now go get your stuff and come back here." Madelyn said smiling.

May 27th

Bella was sitting on the beach in front of her new house. It was a nice three-story house done in a grey color with a nice orange roof and white railings for the wrap around porch and white glass doors and windows. There was pool out front. It was an island paradise, so serene. The house was huge; it had three bedrooms with four bathrooms. It had a huge kitchen that was connected to the living room and dinning room. They were separated but the all connected together. Bella still could not believe that the little old woman gave her this house. Picking herself up, she began her way up to the house. The cold air danced on her skin as she opened the French doors to her living room. Stopping to take her sandals off, placing them by the door before closing the door behind her. Looking around, you could see little touches that said she lived here. The couches had been changed to match the dark blue walls. Now the couches instead of the white ones they were are now soft dark blue ones. Placed around fireplace, back of the couch facing the three large windows that overlooked the beach and deck area. Moving her way towards her bedroom, it was all the way down at the end of the hall. Opening the French doors, she began to strip down to her underwear, not caring that the windows were open to the public. There wasn't anyone for miles, so no fear of anyone seeing her naked, one thing that she really liked about the house. The one room throughout the house that she made sure to change, the walls used to be a light tan color but now were white. Her bedspread was also all white, along with the white netting that went around her bed. It was huge queen size canopy bed. At night she would loosen the netting that was tied around the bedpost and let them fall around her bed as she slept. The room also overlooked the beach. The windows she loved the most, they were beautifully white French windows. It was nice waking up and seeing and hearing the waves crashing into the shoreline. Out of the three bedrooms she could have, she chose this one and left the other two the way they were. The reason for choosing this one was because it was only one on this side of the house overlooking the beach and they happened to be on the second floor. This one was on the first floor. Bella hated going up steps at night to get to her room. She remembered her bedroom at her parent's house, it was on the second floor too and she hated it. The third floor was a beautiful library where you could go and read and watch the waves. It had a huge window facing the beach. The second floor was the bedrooms and bathrooms along with the door leading to the wrap around porch. The bottom floor was where her bedroom and bathroom and even the kitchen, dinning room, living room. Both the living room and dinning room had huge French windows overlooking the beach area also. The kitchen overlooked the pool area, which in its own right was like paradise. It was a huge in-ground pool with a smaller sitting pool. She had already been in the pool every morning since she started living here. She was already starting to support sunburn because of her pale skin. She had forgotten to wear sun block on her day being down here. There are palm trees planted around the pool. The house set on a massive expansion of land from the larger house that Madelyn lived in. The drive that circled around the fountain out front and ended a little before the pool, connected to the larger drive going up to the main house. This was the only pool house that but Bella couldn't see how it was. She remembered her parent's pool house and it was nothing like this, but Bella had to admit that her parents pool back home was a lot bigger, almost Olympic size big. Moseying her way into her bathroom. She needed a shower before the court hearing. Bella didn't know if she could really do anything. She study criminal law, not divorce and she wasn't even legally a lawyer yet. She was only shadowing Madelyn's lawyers. Stepping into her bathroom, she began to take off her bra, turning the water on in the shower. This room happened to be her favorite. The walls were done in purple and everything looked old fashion but modern at the same time. The tub was claw bathtub with a window view, looking out at the beach. The sink was old fashion too, done all in wood. The shower was the only modern thing and it could fit about six to seven people in it. It was perfect.

"Walking out of the court room, Bella had a big smile playing on her lips. She had just won her first case, well not her case but she helped the old lawyer. Bell flagged a cab down, she could not wait until she got home and was laying out on the beach.

"Where to miss?" The cabby asked. She gave him her address. Heading down the street, she could see the palm trees all lining the highway, flashing past her. Finally making home, she threw the money to the cabby and made her way inside. Dropping her stuff on the kitchen cabinet, she slid out of her heels. Throwing the door open, she smiled to herself at the sight she was seeing. It was beautiful, it was paradise. Sinking her feet into the sand. The warmth of the sand felt nice against her skin. Sitting at the waters edge was great. The beach was so serene. Bella could spend an eternity looking upon the water. Winning her first case, even if it wasn't her first case really. She had mock trails back at Yale but nothing quit like what she just experienced. Madelyn was off to somewhere in Japan, visiting a friend. She invited Bella along but she declined saying she was done hopping planes for a while. Madelyn also asked if Bella would become her private live-lawyer after she took her bar exam. Which Bella said she would think about. Pulling off her dress pants, she began taking her top off too, so she could lay down in the nice warm sand. While the water splashed on her feet. She hadn't even got her top off when she felt someone standing behind her, which could be, because there wasn't anyone for miles. A shadow loomed over, trying to look up at the thing blocking her sun, her warmth. Before she could speak or even turn around to see what it was. She was being yanked up.

"What the hell?" She yelled.

"Shh now poppy." In all too familiar voice said, it sounded British and way too familiar. "Wouldn't want to disturb the neighbors." The voice said laughing. "Oh that's right…there isn't any." The voice laughed more.

"Frank shut-up and get her back to the van." A deep masculine voice said from somewhere.

"Who are you?" Bella screamed as she began to kick and hit the person holding her.

"Shut her up." The same voice said, while hissing the last part.

"I won't shut-up until someone tells me who the hell they are or what the fuck your doing." She screamed as she kicked her legs around. She tried hitting the person in the back, but nothing was working. "Put me down." She screamed louder until someone hit her up side her head. "What the fuck," She thought, while she tried to look at her kidnappers but they were all dressed in dark military clothing and ski masks.

"Oh shit Frank…why the fuck did you go and do that for?" A new voice said, it made him sound sweet. "What the hell," Bella thought. "I shouldn't be thinking one of my kidnappers is sweet," She cursed herself at that thought. "Felix man…Frank just hit her in the head with the butt of his gun."

"Oh shut-up Alec…your such a girl." The deep masculine voice said, whom she took as Felix. He sounded so scary.

"Yeah man…shut the fuck up." The one with the British accent said. It sounded so familiar but her eyes were so unfocused she couldn't see anything but that she sat in the back of a van of sorts.

"Francis shut the fuck-up." The deep voice yelled.

"Oh come on…he is a girl." The Francis guy said. "And you can't tell what to do solider. I am the Marquess of Berwick Upon Tweed and the Earl of Kirknewton and Lorwick, in the British Coven. I am your superior." He yelled. The voice sounded just like Mr. Parker from New York. That she had been trying to block out. God she hoped wasn't

"I don't care if you're the High King himself…I still wouldn't listen." Felix shouted back.

"Would both of you shut the fuck up." Another voice said. "His voice made him sound so hot," she thought but soon cursed herself once she thought it. "We need to get on the road…his majesty is expecting her at a certain time and you two bitching like a bunch school girls isn't getting us their any quicker." He screamed.

"Boy remember who you're talking to." Felix shouted at the other guy who just talking. "Now Frank this is my mission so sit back and shut the fuck up." He hissed. "Alec get the directions out." Was the thing she heard before everything went completely black.
