Heyy, these next few chapters will be primarily about the 3 years prior to Bella coming to Italy.

Not really sure what to write up here besides the disclaimer (Stephanie Meyer owns everything), and maybe even a little preview to what's to come. But here's the next chapter hope you enjoy.

Bella POV

Marcus had me in his arms after what I assumed to be him defending me from Caius, and he was carrying me through the halls until he placed me in the middle of a bedroom. He left again for a moment, and returned with a basket.

"I brought you some clothes for you to change into, and there is a bathroom to your right. Don't feel embarrassed if you do about urinating just now, the smell isn't that strong to us and it tends to happen whenever we feed... Plus, worse things have been excreted on that floor I'm surprised Aro hasn't changed the tiles of it yet... I'll leave you be now." Marcus said.

I nodded in appreciation when he handed me clothes, and took off to the bathroom. The basket had a towel, bar soap, and a single tunic with a cloak similar to everyone else's. There was a large mirror to my left, a tub twice the size of my own back home, and a toilet that probably cost more than my truck. I chuckled lightly at the thought of selling my old rust bucket for a toilet, and seeing Charlie react. My dad was a lot of things but resourceful wasn't one of them. I looked into the mirror and looking into my eyes I saw Charlie looking back at me.

He was gone.

My chuckling turned into laughter as I thought of how screwed up my life had turned in the matter of one day. I laughed at how after using my every being to hide from the supernatural I still ended up in the lions den. I laughed at how Victoria, Laurent, and Sir Chuckles a'Lot were sitting in s dungeon when I was supposed to be dead at their feet.

Tears started streaming down my face, and my sides started to hurt a lot. At some point, my body had transitioned from shaking from laughter to being overcome by sobs.

My father was dead, his killers wanted me to die because of a coven who didn't want me, and now I was in a palace full of human drinkers who were probably play house with their food. My vision started to darken, and my lungs started to burn from a lack of oxygen. I think I heard someone knocking on the door and calling to me, but maybe it was my imagination playing more tricks. Surrendering to the darkness, I let myself drift into a place that I was becoming much to comfortable with.

( Flashback)

Edward and I were going to our meadow today, and I would finally tell him about my new found ability. Ever since James had bit me, I was able to see energy and light coming from people. It was like an aura that surrounded everyone even the vampires, and if they walked away from me it left a train of itself behind them. Almost like a dust trail from a comet. After sometime I learned how to shut it off, which helped take the strain off my eyes. If this didn't show that I was meant for immortality I don't know what else would.

I decided I would meet him there just so that I could have the time to figure out how to break it to him, and surprisingly didn't trip on anything on the hike. I found Edward standing in the center of the meadow with his back to me and I smiled, but that was quickly removed when I saw the look of annoyance on his face.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Bella...we're leaving." Edward said coldly.

"To where? Has Alice already told a story to Charlie."

"Not us, my family and I. You're not coming with us."

"Wait...what."

"We've been here for to long, Carlisle can barely pass as 45 here, and people already think we're abnormal enough. It's time we left and start new somewhere else again, and truthfully I am tired of you. You were merely something to help pass the time, and help me fit in better. I only wanted to figure out your way of thinking since I couldn't read your mind, but I've realized you're just like the rest of humans. Boring and futile."

I was at a loss for words...

"But why aren't any of the others telling me goodbye? I thought I was part of your family..." I cried.

"No one wants to spend eternity with you. This is how things go for us, we meet people and then we move on. If we changed ever human we got close to we'd be suspected of making an army... I really just wanted this to be a clean break, and don't come looking for any of us. Everyone has already gone, I was just supposed to relay the message."

"That doesn't explain why you're being so hurtful...I thought that you loved me."

"You were puzzling, and I love a good puzzle. I promise it will be as if we never existed, just move on from me. You can even go after that dog if you want, or even Newton."

"..."

"Don't do anything stupid for the sake of Charlie please." He said, before running into the forest. Leaving me behind.

(One month later)

"Renee I don't know how to deal with this? She acts as if the entire family died, and she is basically a walking zombie. I had to pull her out of public school to home school her because she'd have these crazy meltdowns, and oh my god these nightmares are absolutely unbearable...she's not the same at all, and I think spending some time with her mother would help... I could give a rat's ass about Phil and his career, this is your daughter for crying out loud!... The one time your daughter needs you, you flake out again... and she just hung up on me" I hear Charlie say.

I was in my room looking at my computer screen, when I hear him come upstairs.

"Bells, I'm coming in." He says and opens the door," Look Bella, I understand that this has been hard on you but you need to get a grip. I can't keep going on like this, especially with that Weber girl still missing."

"Angela?" I said.

"Yes, her. She's been gone for 2 days now, and the fact you're just now finding out leads to my next point. You have a life to live, and believe it or not I want you to live it and be a part of mine and other's. Before she disappeared, Angela would call me everyday just to see if you were okay. Billy tells me that Jake isn't really the same anymore either since you got in this depression. Please try to wake up. I don't expect you to be back to normal overnight, but your hurt doesn't just affect you."

"Dad..." I looked at him and saw the new wrinkles in his face, greying hairs, and proof of lack of sleep. I did that. Standing up I practically ran to him and wrapped him in a hug. Eventually he hugged me back and we just stood there in a warm embrace, that somehow lead to us crying on the floor. With Charlie needing to work in the morning, he bid me goodnight and told me to try to sleep.

The next day I decided I was going to try to explain some things to Charlie over diner, and maybe help him understand. I made fish fry and green beans for diner, and even made cookies. When Charlie got home he was definetly surprised.

"What is all of this Bells?" He laughed.

"Dad, we need to talk and I just want you to listen until I'm done."

"Okay kiddo, lay it on me."

I proceeded to tell him everything that happened since dating Edward. I told him about the James incident, Jake being who he is, and my ability.

"Let me grab a beer real quick... do you need one?" he said

I shook my head.

"I must say, I've heard a lot of crazy shit in my life, but this is on a whole new level..."

"If you don't believe me dad"

"No I believe you, and to tell you the truth I already knew about Jake and the boys on the rez. After my buddy died last year during some of the disappearances, I saw this red head outside the station one night. I went into the woods to check out if she needed help, but was met by this giant wolf that was fighting her... it was Sam and he'd explained that he had just saved my life but didn't tell me from what."

I started laughing and couldn't believe it, the thing I wanted to protect Charlie from was already common knowledge.

"I do have one thing though, about your power thingy... Do you think you could locate Angela?"

"I mean, I've never really tried to track someone before."

"I know this might seem like a shot in the dark, but I need to know this girl is alive somehow. From what you've said you either see everyone's or no one's at all. Why don't you close your eyes, think solely on her, and see if that does anything." He said.

I nodded, and tried his suggestion. I thought of Angela's face, her greeting the first time we met, her old lady glasses, and eventually felt something latch onto my mind. Opening my eyes I saw a bright blue strain of energy illuminating in my face, and looked at Charlie with an open mouth.

"Did it work?" he asked.

"Yeah, yeah it did."

"So what now then? Do we just follow it?"

"I-I guess. Put on a coat, and bring a gun." I said.

We were soon running through the forest in our back yard, and we came across this rundown old cottage in the woods. I pointed at it not wanting to make any sudden noises, indicating that Angela was in there.

"Stay here." He whispered, and stealthily made his way to the small building. I could see him take a deep breath before busting down the door, and yelling something. There was silence for a few minutes until a scream erupted in the air followed by a gun shot. Getting out of my spot I ran to the cottage, and at the same time Charlie came out with an unconcious Angela in his arms."

"Oh my god Isabella, you found her you just saved this girl's life. Check on her I need yo call this in. Thank you so much Bella." He gushed.

"Bella?" I heard and looked down to see Angela awake, and then fear crossed her eyes."Did Mike bring you out here to? Where are we?"

"You're safe Angela, my dad found you and we're waiting for help to come." I said.

Bursting into tears she threw herself at me, and clung to me as she cried. Getting in a more comfortable position, I began to rock us both back and forth to comfort her. Little did I know that this was for me as well. When help arrived Charlie brought me into a hug and didn't say anything after it was all over, but I think we both had a mutual feeling. Angela was going to be okay, and so was I.

(End Flashback)

I decided to end the chapter here, mainly cause I'm tired lol, but yeah there's the backstory of her new gift. I'm lowkey regretting that I killed Charlie in the first chapter :'(

Also what kind of relationship should Marcus and Bella have? I haven't decided yet and am open to your opinion, since wouldn't make a decision until 3 or 4 chapters from now.

Leave a review please and tell me what you think!
