[Monday: 1st Day of School]


Bella drove the BMW X1 white SUV to school. It had all leather seats, and it had all the cool gadgets that Mason had in his truck. She felt odd driving the BMW because she had never driven something this nice. She didn't complain though and did what she was told. She wore her typical long sleeved, ribbed shirt and blue jeans and just her converse. She shouldered her backpack that had her laptop in it and her notebooks for school. Richard insisted on new phones. It was because the other phones were in Charlie's name and Richard didn't want any ties to Charlie Swan. Bella was even registered at school as Bella Lockwood. It would take some getting used to, but she didn't fight it. It didn't matter what she wanted at this point.

She parked at the school and sat there for a moment. Tyler pulled up right beside her. Tyler was arrogant in many ways. He was dominating to say the least so Bella just followed his directions.

Bella got out of the SUV and looked at Tyler's sports car. It looked like a BMW as well except it was bright red and had tinted windows.

Tyler had dark hair and dark eyes. His hair was sculpted perfectly. He wore a polo shirt that was a spring green color, and he wore nice 200-dollar pants and a nice pair of Nikes. He found out at the last minute that Bella was moving to Mystic Falls. He remembered playing with her when they were kids. She was quiet and awkward now. Nothing like he had remembered. Mason said that she had a bad break up, so he assumed her being awkward stemmed from that.

"So, our schedules are pretty much aligned. I have PE last though because I have football after school. Um we'll walk to classes together the first few days but it's pretty straight forward." Tyler said as they walked towards the school.

Bella nodded. "Okay." She said her voice was small like normal.

Tyler just looked over at her. "Hey, I don't know what your old school was like. If people were…rude or whatever. Bullying isn't tolerated here. So, if someone gives you a problem. Let me know."

Bella fiddled with her hands as they walked. "Right. Okay. Thank you." She said and they entered the school. She followed Tyler to the front office. He helped her get her locker information and then he walked her to her locker. It was close to his and she appreciated that.

Tyler leaned against the locker next to hers, his hands in his pockets as he relaxed. "So. Mason said something about a boyfriend?" He was curious about the boy that broke her heart. Bella seemed okay so he was curious why someone would just dump her randomly.

Bella felt her anxiety spike and she dropped her lock for the locker.

Tyler bent and picked it up and handed it back to her.

"Sorry. Um. I-I-I don't really know." Bella didn't understand why he left her. It pained her that he left. What was she supposed to do without him? She loved him. What had she done wrong?

Tyler saw her starting to shake and so he set his hand on her shoulder, but she jumped under his touch, and he removed his hand and held it up. "Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. Um. Well, whatever it is. He's an idiot." He said and the bell rang. "Oh. That's the first bell. We have 7 minutes to get to our homeroom." He said and people were already in the halls, and it was lively with people talking and laughing.

"TY! WHAT'S UP BRO!" A guy came and fist bumped Tyler. He had dark curly hair and brown eyes. Freckles dusted his face. He looked at Bella and whistled. "Oh, damn baby you're fine." He instantly went to flirt with Bella.

"Cut it out Connor. This is Bella, my cousin. Off limits bro." Tyler warned.

"Shit. My bad." Conner said and then held a hand out. "Conner Hanks." He introduced.

Bella nodded, not looking Conner in the face but she shook his hand lightly to be polite. "Um. Bella Lockwood." She said, barely over a whisper.

Conner blinked a couple times, but he nodded. "Alright then. Um. Welcome to Mystic Falls."

Matt arrived then fist bumping Tyler when he walked up. "Hey Bella. Nice to see you again." He said with a white smile.

Bella nodded, still looking down. "Hi."

Tyler cleared his throat. "Let's get to class. I'll see you losers in fourth." He said and slapped Connor on his shoulder and then he barely guided Bella away from the lockers and towards their homeroom.


Bella survived the day. She remained quiet and reserved, only speaking when she was spoken to. She felt anxious all day long and she just wanted the day to end, but she had made it. She walked out to the parking lot to her SUV. She dug through her bag for her keys and wasn't watching where she was going, and she ran into someone. She instantly fell back to the ground.

"Bella, I'm sorry." The voice of Matt Donovan sounded and he was reaching down to help her up.

Bella scrambled backwards away from him, but got to her feet pretty quickly. She was flustered a little, her cheeks reddened with embarrassment. "I-I-It's okay." She said and combed her fingers through her hair nervously.

Matt frowned. Tyler wasn't joking when he said that Bella was skittish. He knew that she was shy from their encounters at the Grille, but she was panicked looking. "Are you alright?"

"Yes." Bells said and then grabbed her bag and turned away from Matt and hurried the rest of the way to her SUV. She found her keys and she opened the door and got in. Her heart felt like it was pounding hard in her chest. She closed her eyes and took a couple breaths before she turned the SUV on and left school.


Bella arrived at the Grille to meet her mom like her mom asked her to. She walked in and walked quickly to where her mom was sitting with Damon Salvatore. She sat down, her eyes on the table.

Renee's smile faltered a little when her daughter sat next to her. "How was the first day of school sweetie?"

Bella nodded. "Fine."

Renee smiled and looked up at Damon. They were catching up after so many years of not seeing each other. "Um. Bella, honey. Damon is here."

Bella just nodded again. She had barely looked at him when she met him the night, they got in. But she glanced up now. Her blue eyes met his briefly. "Hi."

Damon smiled an easy smile at Bella. "Bella, it's nice to see your face." He said, taking in her appearance. Her eyes were so blue that he felt like he was looking back at a mirror, which made him look to Renee, who seemed nervous somewhat.

Laughter filled the air as other teens filed into the Grille to hang out and eat after school. One of the girls was Caroline Forbes. Beautiful blond hair and blue eyes and she was the queen of the school to say the least. She was always so bubbly, and Bella had to endure her during third period earlier today. Bella glanced in her direction but then fiddled with her hands a little more and looked back at the table.

Renee smiled at Damon. "Um. So Stefan goes to high school now. You said football?"

"Yeah. He's playing football this year. He's dating Elena Gilbert." Damon said and nodded to the girl that was with Caroline. "She was Grayson and Miranda's daughter. Grayson and Miranda died in a car accident a couple years ago." He explained.

Renee frowned. "Oh no. That's horrible."

"Well, they're doing okay now I believe. Their aunt is watching over them. Jenna."

"Oh Jenna. She was so sweet growing up." Renee said with a smile. Her phone rang and she pulled it from her pocket and frowned when she saw the number. "How…"

Damon frowned too. "What's wrong?"

"Oh…um. It's nothing." Renee waved it away, silencing her phone and picking up her glass of water and taking a drink. She didn't want to say out loud that it was Charlie calling her and that she was puzzled how he even got her number.

Damon didn't believe what Renee said, but he left it alone. He looked back at Bella. She seemed so fragile and broken. Renee had told him about her experience in Forks. Being dumped by her boyfriend that she had dated for two years. It was Bella's first love, and she was crushed. She did appear thin, and Renee worried about her not eating well. "So, dinner is on me." He said with a smile.

"Thank you, Damon, that's so kind." Renee said with a smile. Damon was always charming. When she met him eighteen years ago, he was charming then. He was passionate and he was a beautiful specimen of a man. "I'm running to the restroom." She said and eased Bella out of the seat. Bella sat back down after her mom left. She was quiet, not making eye contact with Damon.

Damon continued to study her. "So, how are you liking Mystic Falls?"

"It's fine." Bella lied. She really was missing Forks. What if Edward came back?

"Bella, I'm a good friend of your mom's. I want to help you with whatever it is that is hurting you. I can tell you aren't happy."

Bella swallowed and looked back up at Damon. "Um. Thank you. I'm okay though."

Damon knew that was a lie as well. "When you're ready…I'm here to listen." He offered.

Bella looked away, feeling tears burn her eyes as she thought about Edward. Why did he leave her? It wasn't fair. Why did he tell her he loved her and then tell her that he didn't? She closed her eyes and memories swirled in her head.


Trigger warning!!!!!


"You do what I tell you to do!" Edward roared at Bella. She cowered in front of him, trembling at the sound of his voice. He moved towards her, backing her against the tree I the woods. Their woods. "I take….what I want to take."

"Edward….I'm not ready yet. I don't know how-"

Edward's hands ripped the front of her shirt open, and he snapped her bra, exposing her to him. "This is mine. All of it." He commanded and his cold hands groped her hard, bruising her flesh. His mouth replaced it, sucking hard on her nipple, causing her pain. He then bit into her, venom rushing through her body, and she cried out in pain as she trembled. He bit her again and again, before he started sucking the venom out of her blood.

Bella felt relief when he pulled the venom from her body. It left her light-headed and high feeling. Blood trickled down her body, and he licked at it. He grunted, becoming more animalistic and then he pinned her to the forest floor, his hands gripping her wrists hard. She struggled a little, but it only made it hurt worse. "Edward. Please."

Edward tore at her pants and his own. His cock was so hard. Her struggle excited him, her pain excited him. He didn't give her a warning. No warmup, no pleasure. He shoved his hard cock in her and watched as she cried, sobbing.

"It hurts." Bella begged him to stop.

"You. Are. Mine." Edward grunted out and he took what he wanted. His cock was a spear, penetrating her deep. "Tell me."

"I'm yours." Bella cried as he took her virginity. Her body felt numb after a while. She didn't know how long he could go, but he was still going. Time seemed to pass by so slowly for her, but she lay there, and he pleasured himself.

Bella's body shivered from the cold wet ground, and his cold hard body. His hands continued to bruise her as he wrecked her body. His mouth covered hers suddenly and he was kissing her hard, making her lips swell, but she let him. She let him do what he wanted because she loved him. This was love…right?


Trigger over!!!


Damon frowned as he watched Bella pale, she was getting trapped in her own head now, and he saw it happening right in front of him. He reached across the table and grabbed her hand. "Bella." He called her and nothing. He squeezed her hand a little and she still didn't respond to him. He rolled up her sleeve to look at her wrists as he turned them over and saw bruises. He frowned and then reached up and swiped her hair back from her neck and he saw the faint crescent shape scars there and on her collarbone. "Bella." He called to her again, and she shook now, trembling as she stayed trapped with her memories.

Renee returned and saw how upset Damon was looking and she frowned. "What's wrong?"

"She's in a catatonic state." Damon said and stood from the table and gathered Bella in his arms. People looked their way, but Damon ignored them and he left the Grille with Renee following behind him. He put her in his car in the backseat and then Renee got in the front.

"What's going on with my baby?" She asked Damon.

Damon started the car and pulled away from the Grille and headed towards the Salvatore Boarding house. "Renee, something happened to her. She's been broken."

Renee covered her mouth with her hand. "Oh no."

Damon didn't like seeing the crescent marks on her. A cold vampire got ahold of her and he was sure that is why she was so skittish and resigned. He drove, listening to Renee cry some. "Renee. I'm going to ask you a blunt question. Tell me the truth."

Renee sniffed and looked over at Damon. "What is it?"

"Bella…is she mine?" Damon suspected because they shared the same eyes. He didn't know how it would be possible, but crazier things have happened.

Renee swallowed. "Yes."

Damon felt weird then. His suspicions were right, but now he had to figure out how it happened. "It shouldn't be possible."

"I know, but it is. When I found out I was pregnant, I had…I had already moved on to Forks to be with Charlie and…and I thought maybe she was his, but then when she was born and she looked like you. I…"

"You never told me. Why didn't you tell me? Renee I would have taken care of both of you."

"I know, but you were doing your own thing. Damon, you're a vampire. How was I supposed to…tell you this? You wouldn't have believed me anyways." Renee said, and wiped the tears from her face.

Damon shook his head. "There are so many supernatural aspects in this world. I would have believed anything." He said and parked at the boarding house. He turned the car off and got out. He opened the back door and he gathered Bella back in his arms, and he carried her inside, with Renee following, tears still rolling down her face. He brought Bella into the parlor and gently lay her on the couch. He pushed up her sleeves to show Renee. "She has bruises Renee. Did Charlie put his hands on her? On you?"

Renee shook her head. "No! I swear, he only put his hands on me Damon, he never touched her."

Damon felt angry inside. Angry that he lost seventeen years with his daughter he should have been helping raise. He wanted to kill something now. "Someone, hurt her." He said and then pushed her shirt back off her shoulder some. "She's got marks on her body Renee. Marks from a cold one."

Renee gasped, her eyes wide. "No. How could I not see this?"

"Either you're very blind or she's good at hiding it. This boyfriend how was he to her?"

Renee shook her head. "Um. Edward. He was nice. Every time I met him he was so polite and friendly and Bella…she didn't seem afraid or anything." She looked at her daughter. She was staring off in a catatonic state now. "She was like this when he left her. She did this and Charlie beat me for it." She looked down, wiping her face again.

Damon sighed and then reached for Renee and pulled her into his arms. She went to him, into his embrace. "I'm sorry." He murmured and he let Renee cry, her tears wetting his shirt, on his chest. He stroked her back, a calming motion. He looked over at Bella and he was worried. What all had this cold one done to her?
