Bella McLeod

Healer

This is my first Twilight fic, and it is a femlash, featuring Bella and Rosalie as a couple. So, if you don't like, please head somewhere else.

As an introduction, you may want to read "Snape McLeod" since the Bella that trained Tobias there is the same one here, only a decade later. It's not a requirement for you to read it, especially since I will try and untangle things as the story progresses. I altered the timeline to fit my needs, so… she met Snape in 1997, they parted ways in 2000 and it is now 2011, when she moves to Forks with Charlie.

Bare in mind that I do not own Twilight, nor its characters, so if you recognize any of them, THEY'RE NOT MINE. I only own the idea of making Bella Swan part of Clan McLeod.

I also not own the Highlander series, characters and concepts.

Chapter 06

Healer

"It's too bad you didn't figure that out earlier," She hissed through her teeth. "You could have saved yourself all this regret."

"Regret?" She caught me off guard. She was not telling a lie. "Regret for what?" I asked.

"For not just letting that stupid van squish me." She said. To say I was astonished is an understatement. It was hard to form words after she said that. She actually believed in what she was saying

"You think I regret saving your life?" I asked, trying to confirm that.

"Oh I know you do," She snapped.

"You don't know anything." I told her getting angry myself. She turned her head sharply away from me, while she gathered her books together, then stood and walked to the door.

Under the door frame, she stopped and looked back at me.

"Please go back to ignoring me and pretend I don't exist" and with those words she left me quite confused in the classroom.

What was left of my lessons went out in a blur that oddly dragged itself for too long, I just wanted to go to her and keep her in my arms, to make sure she knew I did not want her dead. I was literally aching for this human.

"Let's go home" said Edward

We were in the parking lot heading to his Volvo when I saw her, and Eric leaning on her truck. We kept walking to the car while listening to their conversation.

"What's up?" She said unlocking the door.

"Uh, I was just wondering… if you would go to the spring dance with me?" Eric asked her. His voice broke on the last word.

"I thought it was girls' choice," She said, clearly annoyed.

"Well, yeah," he admitted, shamefaced.

"Thank you for asking me, but I'm going to be in Seattle that day." She said. Apparently she was sticking to Seattle, even when it was a lie.

"Oh," he said. "Well, maybe next time."

"Sure," she agreed, "Though not in the way you are planning Eric. I already told you that I'm not into boys, Remember?" She said as if telling a person with Alzhaimer.

"What? When?" He asked clearly surprised.

Bella sighed "My first day. When I told you I don't like tulips but roses" By this moment we had just reached them and were barely past them.

"Oh… Angela said I should pay attention to that. Sorry, I'll… I'll just leave now"

I couldn't contain the chuckle that escaped from me. However, I tried to keep looking straight forward until I reached Edward's Volvo.

"You'll like this" Edward told me. A grin on his face. He formed to get out, even when Alice and the others had not come outside yet. He stopped just in front Bella's truck. A line was beginning to form behind Bella. Directly behind her, Tyler Crowley was in his recently acquired used Sentra, waving at her.

"He's going to ask her out too" He said to me. I growled and he just chuckled, forcing me to concentrate my attention on the rearview mirror in order to get a good look at that while listening on their chat when Tyler approached Bella's truck.

"I'm sorry, Tyler, I'm stuck behind the Cullens." She said clearly annoyed.

"Oh, I know… I just wanted to ask you something while we're trapped here." He grinned. "Will you ask me to the spring dance?" he continued.

"I'm not going to be in town, Tyler." her voice sounded a little sharp. And now she was not lying.

"Yeah, Mike said that," he admitted.

"Then why…" He shrugged.

"I was hoping you were just letting him down easy." The guts of this guy, I wanted to get out that very moment and rip his chest open. That was until I felt Edward move beside me while reaching to hold me in place.

"I hate you when you do that" I told him

"I know" he said.

"Sorry, Tyler," said Bella, with a slight tone of irritation. "I really am going out of town." Which I could tell now was truth.

"That's cool. We still have prom." And before she could respond, he was walking back to his car. I could see the shock on her face. At that very instant, Alice, Emmett, and Jasper were sliding into the Volvo. I kept my eyes on Bella through the rearview, and oddly enough I was by then shaking with amusement. Then, in just an instant, Edward was speeding away.

"Alice. Did you know she was going to ask me to stay away from her?" I asked my sister when we arrived home. She shook her heard no.

I proceeded to tell her what had happened. Of course by telling her, living in a house full of vampires, everyone in my family knew about it right away.

"You should listen to her. She is a danger to us all" said Edward from upstairs. "I still can't hear her thoughts. Not a single one."

"Only your power is useless around her, though" said Emmett.

"Yes, that is troublesome" said Carlslile.

By this point, my whole family was gathered around me in the living room.

"What are you planning to do?" Esme asked me

I smiled gently at her. "I don't know. But I won't stop from trying to get to know her. There must be a reason for me to feel this urge to mark her" And with that I left the house for a hunt. Lately I'd had to feed more often, I guess it's because of all what Bella's making me feel.

Somehow, after my dinner was over. I found myself outside Bella's house. I approached her home and listened intently to what she and Charlie were discussing.

"Um, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to Seattle for the day, a week from Saturday." She told him

"Why?" He sounded surprised. "Is Clara still there?" I growled thinking about my Bella being near that human.

"Well, no. She left for Belgium, I think. We were planning to go there when the accident… anyway I wanted to get few books, the library here is pretty limited… and maybe look at some clothes. Do you need anything that might be hard to get around here?" Accident? What had happened to her?

"That truck probably doesn't get very good gas mileage," said Charlie, clearly concerned. And I had to admit, he was right, that truck wouldn't get that far.

"I know, I'll stop in Montesano and Olympia…and Tacoma if I have to." Said Bella determined

"Are you going all by yourself?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Seattle is a big city, you could find others there," he fretted. Others what? I wondered

"Charlie, you know I can read a map right? And I can certainly take care of myself, don't worry about it. Plus this is me letting you know, as a cordiality for you letting me stay under your roof. Do not get too invested in the Father role"

"Do you want me to come with you?" he asked sighing

"Nah, that's all right, Charlie, I just need some me time. Probably a spa."

I wouldn't mind going with her. Wait, I can do that, I can offer her a ride to Seattle. With that in mind I headed back home.

I was starting to feel like a stalker creeping around her house and listening to her every conversation, but I honestly couldn't help it. I was drawn to her, and not in the sense of 'mmh, you smell delicious, I want to feed of your blood' which by the way, she did smell nicely and tasty. I just wanted to have my scent all over her, and hers all over me. I wanted to mark her as mine and every time it was getting harder and harder to walk away from her.

The next morning, when she arrived to the parking lot, she parked as far as possible from Edward's Volvo. However, I was by her side in an instant. She fumbled with her key and it fell into a puddle, I bent down faster than her so I grabbed her keys first. Forcing her to look at me.

"How do you do that?" She asked with irritation.

"Do what?" I held her key out as I spoke. As she reached for it, I dropped it into her palm.

"Appear out of thin air." She said

"Bella, it's not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant." I told her, amused by her reactions.

She scowled at me. "Why the traffic jam last night?" She demanded looking away. "I thought you were supposed to be pretending I don't exist, not irritating me to death."

"That was for Tyler's sake, Edward's idea. Kid had to have his chance."

"You…" She gasped… anger showing on her face.

"And I'm not pretending you don't exist," I continued without pause. "You may have asked me to, but I did not agree." I said smiling at her

"So you are trying to irritate me to death? Since Tyler's van didn't do the job?"

Anger crept on me. My lips pressed into a hard line. "Bella, you are being absurd," I said. Then she turned her back and started to walk away. "Wait," I called. She kept walking, sloshing angrily through the rain. But I was next to her, easily keeping pace. "I'm sorry, that was rude," I said as we walked. She ignored me. "It was rude to say it, I'm sorry."

"Why won't you leave me alone?" She grumbled.

"I wanted to ask you something, but you sidetracked me," I chuckled, remembering why I was actually waiting for her.

She sighed. "Fine then. What do you want to ask?"

"I was wondering if, a week from Saturday… you know, the day of the spring dance "

"Are you trying to be funny?" She interrupted me.

"Will you please allow me to finish?" She bit her lip in that adorable way of hers and clasped her hands together, interlocking her fingers. "I heard you say you were going to Seattle that day, and I was wondering if you wanted a ride."

"What?"

"Do you want a ride to Seattle?"

"With who?" She asked, mystified.

"Myself, obviously."

REVISED A/N (June 2021): Hopefully you are still here. We start to divert a little bit, just little so far… but in what I consider, important ways. And this time around we are getting deeper into Rosalie's perspective of things… She is all for love and feelings but we know she doesn't know it yet. She will soon. Coming soon another visitor… and eventually, Rosalie will see Bella get a Quicky.

A/N: Okay. Hope you liked it so far. Short chapter. But hey… Rose is still tough to write. I might stick with her POV for a while in order to perfect her.
