I would like to thank My Beta and Pre Reader

Bella POV

Watford City, North Dakota

"Bella would you like start school in the new school year?" Dad asked.

"Yes, I would like to try." I said, hoping I would be able.

"I will set it up for you? What year would you like to start in?" He asked, almost as eager as me.

"I think starting as sophomore would be a good choice." I picked.

It was my first day at Watford City High School, it was a short day with only two classes Math and English. The second day was a full day of seven classes. It was the fifth class, when dad got called to take me home. I don't know why, but I knew dad had my best interest at heart so I left with him. I let him pick me up and carry me out of the school.

When we arrived home I turned to dad.

"Go hunt, NOW! Sweetheart, I will explain what happened when you get back." He said pointing to the woods behind our house.

I was desperate for the reason why I got pulled from school. I just had a quick hunt. Once I had drained the first deer, I started to be able to hear the wildlife around me. I wondered if that was the reason.

"Dad I was having fun, why did you pull me out early?" I questioned, not really understanding what was going on.

"Well I got a call from the principal asking me to come and pick you up from school because you were shaking and breathing funny. When I got there, it looked like you were minutes away from going into full bloodlust." Dad explained very carefully.

After the eventful day dad arranged it so that I could leave the school's property each lunch to hunt.

As I got used to the life as a high schooler, and the routine of hunting each and every lunch so that I would not be anywhere close to being in bloodlust thing, became easier. I was enjoying school and finding it fulfilling. I was learning so much.

It was the Christmas holiday and I was lying on my bed reading the next books I needed for my classes. I had gone on a hunt earlier and was waiting for Carlisle to come back from his hunt.

I heard the front door open and close. I started down the stairs, and stopped because I could smell blood. Continuing down the stairs I found Carlisle looking very sheepish with a small smile on his face.

"Bella I found her injured at the school. It looked like she tried to killed herself, why I don't know, but I have mated with her. Will you help me change her?" Dad pleaded as I walked up to them and brushed her hair off her face.

"She is stunning Carlisle, of course I will help you change her. Why don't you start while I look for our new home." I told him, knowing we would have to move soon.

The woman was quite, like Carlisle told me I was during my transformation. Three days later I heard her heart start to slow down and stop. I walked into Carlisle's room to help transition the new Cullen into our world.

Carlisle went through the same questions and tasks he had me run through. From moving slowly, to the needle and thread, the puzzle tasks.

"Bella, I'm going to take your mum out for her first hunt." Dad let me know.

"Ok Dad, I have found us a house in Michigan. I will pack for us all okay" I informed him.

"Yes sweetheart thank you, we will be back in a few days." He said leading his mate out the door.

It was a few days later when they came back dirty and rumpled.

"I have organised the new house, it is in Escanaba, Michigan. Where there is a hospital that you can choose to work at." I explained to dad.

"Thank you little girl, we will move when Esme is human ready, oh you two have not met officially yet, hang on." Dad said almost bashfully.

"Its okay Dad, I knew you would get around to it eventually introducing me to Mum." Carlisle walked up to bring mum to meet me.

"Bella, this is my mate and your mother Esme Anne Platt Cullen." He introduced her.

"Esmé, this is my daughter, now your daughter, her name is Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, who

prefers to go by Bella. She, like me, is here to help you in this new life in whatever way we can." Carlisle spoke in a soothing tone.

It took mum 7 months to get human ready. We spent a few more years in Watford City.
