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.

Remember to leave your reviews…

Bella McLeod

Chapter 11

Healer

"Rosalie!" said Jasper a little louder now, his grip still strong on me. "You have to trust her" he said. "If you want this to work out, you have to trust her."

Deep down I knew Jasper was right, however I couldn't stop struggling against him, I really wanted to take Tobia's life right then and there.

"Tobias, I'm heading to Billy's place after breakfast, if you wish I could give you a ride down there" I heard Charlie offer to Bella's FIRST

"Try to calm down" Said Jasper once again. "Don't make me drag you back home!" I turned my head slightly, just enough to see what he was talking about. "You could just knock on their door and ask Bella to take a walk with you, she might tell you she has plans and you may tag along." I smiled at the idea of spending the day with Bella. "But I won't let you here unless I'm sure you are calm, if I am not convinced I will take you back home where I'm sure Esme will not be as nice as I am right now" He said determined.

So I tried to comply with Jasper's demands to let me spend the day with my Bella. In order to accomplish that I stayed perfectly still in his strong grip and focused my attention again to the conversation held indoors.

"Yes, I will be leaving by Friday. I think I might go back to England, maybe teach at Scotland too. I miss Spinners End" said Tobias.

"You shouldn't" came Bella's voice coming down the stairs, which made me wonder how long had I been growling and trying to get past Jasper.

"Why?" asked Charlie to Bella

"You know better than to ask that. It's too soon to go back to his home town."

Tobias grunted. "The only people who might try and visit my neighborhood is the insufferable know it all or the Potter brat"

"Whom, by what you've said, are both smart and famous. So the press might follow them around. Let's not forget that if you go back to teach there, of course the dunderheads will tell their parents, to whom you taught, remember? And what about the Headmistress?" Said Bella between a few bites of whatever she was having for breakfast.

"Maybe it is not such a bad thing" said Tobias. "I could speak with Minerva first"

"No!" Stated Bella harshly, then she sighed. "You know what, I'm leaving now" she said a little mad.

I turned around to look at Jasper, who had already loosened his grip on me. He smiled nodding at me and nudged me toward the front door. As soon as came into the porch and was about to knock, the door flew open.

Bella stood there, taken aback by my presence and I knew that if I could blush I would because of the way she glanced at me when, my hand frozen mid air. I noticed though that Bella's grip was strong on her coat and that Tobias and Charlie were a few paces behind her, both surprised too.

"Good morning Bella" said Jasper behind me. Bella turned her head to look at him. "I hope we are not intruding" he said.

Bella shook her head and I smiled lowering my hand now.

"I… I…" I started, I could not believe how nervous I was at the moment. "Well, we…" I said referring to Jasper and myself "came back from our hiking, which is quite obvious seeing as we are both here, but I wanted to come by and ask you if you'd like to take a walk with me…" I said looking at her face, which had a frown now. "that is if you do not have any plans for today." I said smiling to her. She immediately returned the smile and the frown she had vanished from her face. "I really want to talk to you and…"

"She does have plans" said Tobias from behind Bella. "Right Isabella?" he said smugly

Bella glanced back to him nodding, then she turned back to me. "I have to run some errands in Port Angels, don't know how long that'll take" she said truthfully.

"I could come with you, help you out." I offered, trying to sound calm and nonchalantly. Tobias' interruption had made me angry again, but I had to keep calm if I didn't want Jasper to drag me home.

"You sure?" Bella asked me. "This might be a little boring"

"I don't mind" I said softly.

"Ok then, hop up into the truck" she said, after a second thought she looked at my brother "Will you come too?" she asked him

Jasper shook his head. "No, I'll head back home" he said smiling at me. "Stay calm" he said too low and too fast for human ears to catch that. I nodded. "Bella, bring her back in one piece" he said smirking

"Sure" said Bella. Jasper then turned around and headed back home.

"Isabella" said Tobias in a serious tone. Bella looked back at him, in time to catch a pouch that he had thrown at her. "You will need this and do not forget what to say if you are asked about your purchase"

"I won't forget" said Bella visibly irritated "I already drank you stupid vial" statement which made me freeze, what was she talking about? "And I do not need your money" she said trying to give him back his pouch.

"Do not be ridiculous. It is a loan. Currency, remember?" Said Tobias sneering at her in a way which made growl, however I caught myself just as it was building up and I fake a few coughs instead.

"Damn." Said Bella blushing at the same time I was coughing. She turned around to face me. "You okay?" she asked visibly concerned. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I was swallowing and it went through the wrong pipe, but I'm fine now"

Bella turned around to face both Charlie and Tobias. "Will you be here for dinner Charlie?"

"Maybe, I'll call you and let you know" he said.

"Okay. See you in a few days Tobias" He nodded reluctantly and walked back into the kitchen followed by Charlie.

Bella then headed to her truck, she opened the passenger seat and slided her coat before prompting me to climb inside. I did and as soon as I was seated she closed the door and headed to the driver's side.

She turned on the engine and we began our journey to Port Angels in complete silence. I was not sure how to approach her now, she confused me all the time. So after a few minutes we reached our destination, she parked the truck and climbed down, taking her coat with her.

As soon as I was down too she put the coat on herself, which made me wonder why she did, it was not chilly out here and I didn't think it would rain either.

"Listen Bella…"

"Listen Rose…"

We started at the same time, I smiled and kept silent nodding toward her letting her know that she could speak first.

"You can go first if you want" she said smiling. I shook my head. "Sorry for the ride. I was not the best of companies back there" she said motioning for me to walk along the street with her. "I was just mad for something stupid over breakfast" After a few seconds of her silence I took that as my cue to speak.

"Don't fret about it, we all have crappy days" I told her smiling too. Damn her, if I'm not smiling from ear to ear when I'm around her, then I'm ready to jump her, or I'm growling all the time. Speak about mood swings. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

She shook her head. "Nah. Tobias is as stubborn as I am, so if he wants to go back there, then it's totally his choice. I just don't think it's good idea, it's too soon." She said, then she caught herself noticing the glance I gave her.

"Back where and why it's not a good idea?" I asked her, hoping she would say something more than what I heard at her house.

"I'd rather not speak about it" she said.

I nodded, though I was disappointed, she still did not trust me. "What would you want to speak about then? I asked

"Let's start to why you came to my house after your hiking, instead of going back to your home to rest a little?" She said smiling

I smirked. "Well, I overreacted last week and aside from apologizing, again, for not letting you know I would ignore you" I said looking at her noticing she had stopped on her pace. "I just want to hang out with you and make sure we're okay. I know we spoke on the phone, but…" I trailed off.

"That's sweet." She said smirking too. "Tell you what" she said after pondering it a few seconds. "We do have to talk. However I must run this errands first" she said taking out two pieces of paper. "How about you help me with half of them" she said handing me a list with some food supplies and other stuff. "And we meet at the store across the street in about an hour" she said pointing to an old looking drugstore. "That will be my last stop, so after I'm done there we can look for a restaurant to eat and chat all day. Then maybe we can walk through the streets here."

"Sounds like a solid plan to me" I said grinning now.

"Here" she said handing me half of the money on her wallet.

"I can't accept it" I said refusing to take it.

"You have to. I will not take no for an answer. I'm not going to let you spend your money on the supplies for my home." I was about to protest when she placed her index finger on my lips, effectively stopping me. "If you want to spend it next Saturday on Seattle, or even today on extra supplies for your home, or after lunch while we hang out, I will not protest." I smiled, her finger still on my lips. "Agreed?" She asked me extending her free hand towards me.

I kissed her finger while accepting her money taking it with my right hand. I smirked when she froze by my actions.

"We have a deal" I said heading to make some purchases. I knew that the faster I was over with them, the faster I would be back with Bella.

REVISED A/N(November 2021): Oh get ready, because here comes a big one… well, next chapter. I originally divided this and next one into two because they felt too long as one. Now I actually feel like this was too short.

A/N: Sorry for the delay! There's no excuse, I'm a terrible, terrible author.

I did not get the job, or any job at all, even when I've been going to several interviews. Which actually got me a little depressed, so my grandma-amazing as she is- actually lured me into watch some TV shows with her (she bought for me Buffy Seasons 1 to 5, both Seasons of Dollhouse, Both seasons of Jericho, First season of Epitafios, and we watched all of them on my time home-which is when I don't have interviews-! Plus we are watching now Dark Angel.)

So no excuses for me not updating, I've got the time, I just hadn't scheduled some of it to actually keep writing. Hope you can forgive me.

I'll work on the next chapter between Monday and Tuesday, and hopefully have it uploaded by Wednesday or Thursday at most.

However, please keep wishing me good luck on my job hunting, I've had several interviews(at least two each week), but I haven't nailed any of them yet. I'm starting to get worried, I know I'm good at what I do so I don't understand.

Can you believe an interviewer actually told me that they were looking for someone younger for the position? I mean, I am 27 for God's sake! 27! I'm not that old!

Anyway, rant aside, remember to leave your reviews… they nourish my imagination.
