Hey there! The response I got for the first chapter was amazing so I thought I'd post chapter 2. I'm working on Destined for Immortality and Chased To My Soulmate, don't worry. I'm just kinda swamped with school work and when I'm done, I need a break from the computer because I go to school online. Anyways, here's Chapter 2.

50ish Years Later

It's been about 50 years since my siblings unlocked my Reaper gene and 50 years since I left Forks. We've been traveling around, spending a max of 5 years in one place so we can travel the world. Not long ago, maybe 3 or so years, we were in Tennessee and found out that Dad had another child. A son named Sebastian Reese Taylor who's 10 years old now. His mom wasn't the most loving parent to poor Bash, and she'd yell at him constantly; verbally abusing him. During a particularly loud argument (Bash actually fought back this time), the neighbor called the cops and they took him away. He spent the night at the police station and, after letting slip that his mom had an affair with our dad, they released him into our custody since we're his biological half siblings. After we filled out the necessary paperwork, Hunter and I became his legal guardians. We brought him up and unlocked his Reaper gene when he was 9. Considering he has an eidetic memory and his background was awful, he's more mature than most people twice his age.

Now, we're back in Forks, Washington. I've missed this place, though I really hate to admit it. The last time I came back for more than a day was for Charlie's funeral 41 years ago. He got into a car accident and died on impact. Every year, I lay flowers on his grave and talk to his ghost.

Bash is sleeping against an also sleeping Eliza in the backseat while Hunter drives. We haven't said much since they fell asleep, just the occasional small talk about the city we're driving through or if we're hungry. Driving from Florida isn't so bad since Reapers don't need sleep. We can stay up for the rest of our lives if we want, but sleep is a way to pass time and we still dream. I've stayed up with Hunter for 4 days now, Eliza and Bash sleeping off and on throughout. We shadow traveled all of our belongings to the new house in Forks, which isn't much since we can just conjure the small things we need, and we're driving since Hunter doesn't want to leave his car. My older brother keeps stealing glances at me and so I take his right hand, which isn't on the wheel, and sigh. "I know you wanna talk. So what's up?"

His eyes never leave the road as he threads his larger fingers through my smaller ones, squeezing gently as a sign of affection. "You haven't been back here for more than a day since Charlie died...are you sure you wanna be back here? I hear Iceland is very beautiful or we haven't been to Italy yet."

I let out a breathy laugh, a small smile staying on my face from my brother's attempts to talk me out of this. "You know Italy is where the Volturi are. They'll find out about us and attempt to use that one who can manipulate bonds to get us to stay with them. When it doesn't work, they'll attack us and we'll have to wipe them out in self defense and that'll bring down the entire structure of the vampire world."

Hunter hums and lets go of my hand to pull into the driveway of our new house. It's pretty big with four bedrooms (though, Bash gets nightmares so he sleeps with me) with an en suite in each one. A kitchen with a gorgeous granite island in the middle with stools around it and everything you'd expect in your kitchen. A den with a flat screen TV in the entertainment center with surround sound, a blu-ray player, gaming systems, and the whole cabinet filled with games. Couches and beanbag chairs scattered around with a bookshelf on the wall to the right of the TV. A bathroom on the bottom floor used for guests. An attic and a basement that we use for storage. And finally, a nice sized garage where we keep our vehicles. Dad gave us each a card (though Bash can't use his until he's 18) with an unlimited amount of money in the account. Since he's Death, I suppose he's saved up quite a bit. We don't spend much, though we do treat ourselves around the holidays and our birthdays.

Putting the car in park, my big brother and I exit and open the back doors. Hunter grabs Eliza while I pick up Bash and we shadow travel to put them in bed. I tuck Bash into my bed, knowing he'd end up there eventually anyway, and turn on the TV. The noise helps him sleep and I don't need a night light because of the light coming from the TV. Kissing his forehead, I push his hair back away from his face and smile slightly. His dirty blonde hair is always getting into his face but he refuses to cut it because he says he wants to look like Hunter. See, Reapers get their physical features from their mothers. Hence the reason why Bash looks next to nothing like us. He has blonde hair and blue eyes while we have brown hair and brown eyes. Our facial structure and some of our personality traits are pretty much the only things that let people know we're even related at all.

I walk downstairs and am greeted with the sight of my older brother, sprawled out on his stomach on the bigger couch with his face in one of the pillows. Chuckling, I make my way over to him, lifting his head so I can sit down. He just turns over to lay on his back, placing his head in my lap with his eyes still closed.

"Why is moving so exhausting?" Hunter mumbles, letting out a content sigh as I gently drag my fingers through the long part of his hair.

"It's not like you actually got tired." I roll my eyes, letting my head fall back and breathing a sigh of my own.

It's silent for a few minutes before Hunter decides to break it. "It's not too late to move again. We just have to snap our fingers and most of this stuff will be gone...aside from the games, systems, and the other electronic appliances."

I let out a laugh, making my brother twitch slightly in surprise. "You just don't like the idea of a small town with literally nothing to do. It's fine, Hunter. We'll move again in another 3 to 5 years. You can wait that long."

Hunter just hums, not giving me anymore than that. After a few more minutes, he's asleep and I'm forced to take him to his room or he'd spend the night on the couch. Once he's in bed, I make my way to my own room. Crawling into bed, I lay next to Bash and hope I didn't wake him. Unfortunately, I hoped too soon.

"Isa?" His sleepy voice seems louder in the quiet house, his dirty blonde hair a mess about his head as he rubs his tired ocean blue eyes.

"Shhhh...it's fine, sweetheart. Sorry to wake you." I wrap an arm around him and he lays his head on my shoulder, his breath blowing over the collarbone with my tattoo. I think he's asleep and I'm almost out myself when his voice rings out again. "This place hurt you, didn't it?"

I look down at him, confused. He elaborates when he sees the question written on my face. "I can see the sadness in your eyes."

I chuckle softly, my eyes displaying humor to cover the sadness that's constantly there, and pull him close. "You're too grown up for being only 10 years old. Get some sleep, we have to register for school tomorrow."

He sighs but nods, kissing my cheek before wrapping his arm around my middle and lays back down. Before long, he's out like a light and I follow not long after.

"Okay, does everyone know the story?" Hunter asks, stopping us before we can get out of the car.

Eliza sighs and crosses her arms. "You're the new 'Teacher Trainee' and our legal guardian, Isa's a junior while Bash and I are freshmen. We found Bash a year ago and we decided a small town would be better. That all?"

"If anyone asks where our parents are, we tell them they died in a house fire when we were young and were staying with an aunt until Hunter was old enough to take care of us himself." Bash says, trying to get comfortable in his 15 year old body. Aging 5 years in less than a minute makes you feel uncomfortable in your own skin.

"Let's get this over with." I sigh, getting out of the car.

We walk into the office building. I'm taken back to my very first day here, how Eric Yorkie greeted me and walked me to my first class. I'm hit with a sharp feeling of sadness, thinking of my old friends. Eric, Ben, Angela...Jessica wasn't really a friend per say. Maybe a friendly stranger. Mike just followed me around like a lost puppy. Lauren didn't really like me. I wasn't all that friendly with anyone else.

"May I help you four?"

The voice broke me from my thoughts and I see a kind looking lady sitting behind the desk. She has greying red hair cut somewhat short, dark brown eyes, and is on the heavier side. She looks so much like Mrs. Cope, it's creepy.

"Um...yeah, we're starting school here today. Hunter as a TA and us 3 as students and we came for our schedules." Eliza says, compelling her.

Blinking rapidly for a few seconds, the woman – Ms. Nell – smiles at us. "I'm sorry, dears. I forgot to make out your schedules. Can you wait a moment until I have them ready?"

"Of course, take your time." I smile, leaning against the wall for the wait.

She looks up at Hunter then. "You should head over to Professor Crass' room. He's the Biology professor and they're doing blood testing today. I'm sure he could use your help."

Hunter looks at me curiously, asking a silent question with his eyes. I nod, telling him to go ahead and he walks out. A few minutes later, Ms. Nell gives us our schedules. "Junior and two freshmen, right?"

"Yes, ma'am." I take the schedules and turn to the door, walking Eliza and Bash to their first period.

Rounding the corner, I run into what feels like a brick wall and fall right on my ass. Funny, I don't remember a wall there.

"I'm so sorry, I-" Wait...I know that voice..."Bella?"

"Hey, Alice..." My voice comes out confused and a little surprised as I dust myself off. Bash offers me his hand and helps me up.

Before Alice can say anything, Eliza's switch flips from laid back little sister to protective, I'm-gonna-kick-your-ass-if-you-make-a-wrong-move little sister. "Alice? As in Alice Cullen?" At my sigh, she knows she's hit the nail on the head. "Do you have any idea how much you hurt my big sister? Your whole family broke her heart! If we weren't in school, I'd have no trouble starting you and your entire coven of dickheads on fire..."

Feeling the heat coming off of her, I put my hand on her arm. "Eliza, stop. Like you said, we're in school."

"Then let's get Hunter and move again. I already told you, I was gonna have a bonfire when I saw them and if you don't stop me, I'll start with this one." Eliza says, eyes ablaze with barely contained anger.

Alice's eyes widen and she gets a panicked look on her face. "Wait, you can't go!"

"Why the hell not? You don't have any say in her life anymore." Eliza says, crossing her arms.

"Because..."

Surprisingly, Bash is the one to answer. "Because isn't an answer." The tone of his voice sends chills down my spine. I've never seen Bash angry and I don't think I ever want to. The look of fear in Alice's eyes breaks my heart though, and I can't figure out why.

"Bash, take Eliza the rest of the way. You're almost there."

Hesitating, Bash does as he's told and they disappear down the hall. Conjuring a note that says 'Wait for me after school, I'll tell you where to meet me to talk. Bring Jasper if you want.' Handing it to Alice, I walk to my first class. I'm only about half an hour late.

Surprisingly, none of the Cullens are in my classes so far. However, I don't think that's gonna last. Getting two trays, I sit down at an empty table and wait for my siblings.

"Where are you guys?" I ask telepathically.

"We're almost there. Our class is on the other side of the school, it takes longer to get to the lunch building." Eliza answers.

Looking at the entrance, I'm taken back to my first day of school again. The Cullens entering, again in all white. First is Emmett and Rose, looking like the next Hollywood "it" couple. Next is Jasper and Alice, twirling in like a couple from the 50's. And lastly, Edward. His broody aura even more prominent than it was the first time. I'm wondering what I saw in him in the first place. But now isn't the time to dwell on the past.

When they're all seated, Alice looks up and scans the crowd before her eyes fall on mine. Holding her gaze, I can't help the leap my heart makes nor the spark that threatens to electrify me. It takes me a few seconds to notice that the rest of the table is looking at me with surprised expressions.

"Wait, is that Bella?" I hear Jasper whisper.

Alice never breaks eye contact as she nods and I can practically feel Edward's broody aura grow darker. "What happened to her?" Edward asks, his eyes on me even though mine aren't on him.

"She's still human. Her heart's beating and I can smell her blood." Rosalie says, looking me over.

Seeing Edward get up through my peripheral vision, I finally tear my eyes from Alice's. "He's coming over. If you wanna start your bonfire, Eliza, you better hurry."

My eyes are drawn to the door when it opens and Eliza runs up to me. Barely having enough time to get up, I catch my little sister when she lunges at me. "You won't believe what they're making us do in Algebra II..." "You okay, Isa?"

It always surprised me how she could drone on about one thing out loud but have a completely different conversation in her head. "I'm fine. But no bonfire. Edward seems to be the only one who's upset that I'm still alive."

I watch as Edward sits back down, glaring at Eliza. I'm about to get up and knock his head off for looking at my sister that way when I'm suddenly stopped by an armful of Sebastian. "Isa, I don't know how I'm gonna be able to go all day without seeing you...it's torture."

Patting his back, I smile. "You see me when we get home and I'm the first thing you see in the morning."

"Your point being...?"

Shaking my head, we sit down at the table. A few minutes later, Hunter walks in. Naturally, all the girls stare as he walks by but he doesn't seem to notice. Sitting down, he starts picking at one of the trays with Bash. Eliza looks at our older brother. "So, he decides to grace us with his presence? I thought you were eating with the teachers."

"I can leave if you want. Just thought I'd spend some time with my little brother and little sisters." Hunter smirks, reaching across the table for my water.

Lunch went by like that, small talk with the occasional glance at the Cullen table. After lunch, I have History with Jasper and PE with Rose, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper. I also have Bash and Eliza for PE, so they didn't try to approach me like they would if I were alone. The glares Eliza kept giving them were more than enough, not to mention the way Bash would always stand protectively next to me when he could. I think what shocked them the most was when I smiled and waved at Rose and Jasper. I even went so far as to say Hi to them. Like I said, I don't blame them at all.

After PE, we get changed and walk out to the car together. I conjure the key to the car and unlock it, letting Eliza sit in the back. Dropping the key, it dissolves into black and gray smoke. "So, how was your first day?"

"Boring." They both answer.

Looking back, I see Alice talking with Jasper. "I'll be home later, okay? Tell Hunter not to worry."

"Are you sure, Isa? I don't trust them alone with you..." Bash says, looking at me in concern.

Smiling, I kiss his forehead. "I'll be fine, fratellino. Don't worry so much."

With a sigh, he smiles back. "Go on then."

I kiss Eliza's forehead as well before walking over to the Cullens. Conjuring a note with the place to meet, I slip hand it to Alice without stopping and walk into the building. Making sure no one's watching, I shadow travel out.

Standing against a tree, I wait patiently for Alice and possibly Jasper to show up. A rustle brings my attention to my right and I see Alice walk up to me, Jasper in tow.

"Alice. Jasper." I greet.

"Bella..." They say in unison.

Clearing the ground with some wind, I conjure a blanket and set it down. Sitting, I pat the blanket in front of me. "Take a seat, spend some time. Take a load off."

They do, however they're still shocked from my little magic tricks. Surprisingly for me, Jasper speaks up first. "What happened after we...left? If you don't mind me asking..."

I tell them all about Jacob ditching me because of his gene, Hunter and Eliza finding me, and about how we've been traveling before finding Bash and moving here. I told them about how I was adopted and a bit about my past. I didn't tell them what I am, though. It's fun watching them struggle to figure it out.

"That doesn't really explain how you're still young, though." Jasper points out, clearly wanting to know.

Alice looks frustrated as well. "And how come I can't see your future? We assumed you were dead when it first went black...but you're here and it doesn't make sense."

"My real father." I say, answering both questions. Since my gene was unlocked, I've been really restless and very easily entertained. Like a cat. So naturally, I conjure up a tennis ball and start tossing it around.

They look at me expectantly, so I decide to elaborate. "Hunter, Bash, Eliza and I are Reapers. Children of Death. We're immune to all other supernatural talents, we're immortal, and we have a bunch of other talents."

Alice looks at me, hurt in her golden eyes and the look sends a stab of pain through my chest. What the hell? "Why didn't you tell us? Edward never would've left had he known..." The hint of jealousy when she says his name surprises me, though I don't show it. 50 years has given me enough time to learn how to mask my emotions.

I toss Jasper the ball and hold my hands out, indicating I wanna play with him. With a chuckle, he tosses it back and I toss it to Alice. "I didn't know about it until a year after you guys left. Trust me, I would've told you eventually had I known..."

We sit in silence for a while, just tossing the ball back and forth to each other. I start analyzing them out of habit. They're sitting pretty far apart, but not so far as to say they're strangers. Though, they're not close enough to indicate lovers either. Confused, I have to break the silence when it becomes too deafening. "So, how have you two been?"

Smiling slightly, Alice answers. "Things have been pretty depressing without you."

Raising an eyebrow, I give her a look that says "elaborate."

"Rose and Emmett only came back to the family a year ago. They left a few months after we left because Emmett couldn't stop thinking about his baby sister and Rose loved to torture Edward with her thoughts. Esme feels like she lost a daughter and Carlisle buries himself in his work. Jasper feels all of our emotions, so he went to Texas to stay with some family down there and only just came back last week."

"Wait...you didn't go with him?"

"No, why?" She asks, looking genuinely confused.

"I thought mates couldn't be apart from each other for long."

She gives me an understanding look. "Jasper and I aren't mates. We're only together for appearances. We don't like getting hit on by humans, so we say we're together."

Well this is news...I'm about to answer when I get a call. Tossing the tennis ball away in a trail of black and grey smoke, I pull out my phone and see it's Eliza calling.

"Hello?"

"Isa? Where are you?"

"I'm with Jasper and Alice, why?"

"Bash had a nightmare again and he's looking for you."

"Shit, how long have I been gone?"

"A few hours. Hurry home, you'll see the two traitors tomorrow."

Not answering, I end the call and start standing up. "I gotta go guys. And don't worry about Eliza. She's very protective of me when it comes to my past. Pretty much everything that comes with my past."

They get up and I give them both a short hug before I flick my wrist to make the blanket disappear and shadow travel back to the house.

Appearing in my room, I don't see Bash on the bed. So, I walk across the hall into his room and see Eliza and Hunter on either side of him. They hear me walk in and get up, walking out of the room because they know I have it covered. "Bash?"

He looks up at me, eyes filled with fear and body drenched in sweat. His hair is sticking to his face. "Isa? Can we go to your room?"

I pick him up, ignoring his sweatiness, and set him on my bed. While I'm brushing my teeth, I sense someone outside. Spitting into the sink, I rinse my mouth and turn off the bathroom light. Making sure all of the windows are closed and locked, Sending a mental note to Hunter to close and lock all of the windows and doors, I crawl into bed next to Bash.

Feeling him shift and curl into my side, I wrap an arm protectively around him. "Goodnight, Isa..."

"Goodnight, Bash..."

Before I close my eyes, I look out the window. Seeing golden eyes and bronze hair sitting on the tree outside my window, I'm glad I locked it. Closing my eyes, I'm surprised when the last thing I think about are golden eyes but instead of messy bronze, the hair I think about is black and in a pixie cut.
