Chapter 1

BELLAS POV

Running down the stairs as fast as could. I came over to surprise Edward and I was the one who got surprised. Noises were coming from upstairs when I came in.

My heart sank lower with each step I took. Before I ever reached his bedroom door I already knew the truth. But it wasn't enough for me. I had to see it with my own eyes.

Just two weeks before we were supposed to be married I found Edward naked on top of Rosalie in his bed. They were so lost in passion it actually took them a minute to realize I was standing in the doorway watching them. Witnessing them fucking each other and his betrayal.

"Bella wait. I can explain. It's not what you think."

Could Edward really believe I was so naïve and stupid I didn't know he was having sex with her? He might not have ever touched me like the same way, but I know fucking when I see it. There wasn't a need for an explanation as far as I was concerned. He was guarding the door so I couldn't get out.

"Move."

"Not until you hear what I have to say."

"Fine. Say it so I can leave."

"Rosalie and I became close the last few months. Since she started being better with you, we talk a lot. One thing lead to another. I never meant for it to happen. I'm so sorry Bella. I love you. Please forgive me?"

"No. Now move."

As if it wasn't enough for Edward to try to stop me from leaving, Rosalie was now.

"It's true Bella. Edward loves you so much. He never wanted to hurt you."

"Then why did he? And you. How could you do this to Emmett?"

"You have to understand. Emmett and I have been together for a long time. This wasn't about making love. This was about feeling wanted and the excitement in something new."

"I don't understand. Emmett is your husband and how you could hurt him?"

"Do you really think once you're married you will never find someone else sexual attractive or be excited when they find you sexy?"

"Yeah. It is exactly what I think. You get married and it is supposed to be for life. You don't marry someone then decide you want to fuck someone else. It doesn't work that way. Let's see what Emmett thinks about it?"

"Bella you can't tell Emmett. You will hurt him. This isn't a love affair between Edward and I. It was just a onetime thing. Despite what you may think, I love my husband."

"Yeah I saw how you love your husband while you were fucking my so-called fiancée. I have heard enough move so I can get the hell out of here."

Rosalie wasn't going to budge until I said I wouldn't tell Emmett. She was going to be waiting at the door for a very long time. It was Edward who made her move.

"Let her go Rosalie. I love you Bella."

Pushing my old truck to go as fast as it would go. I had nowhere to go or no one to run to. I had alienated everyone from my life except Edward. Jacob wouldn't care now even if I told him. It wouldn't be like anyone else on the reservation would welcome me with open arms either. I choose the Cullens over them.

The only others I knew in this town was Mike, Angela, Tyler and Jessica. I had done the same with them. The first time Edward left me. Now they kept their distance from me at school and when they see me out anywhere.

The only people I associated with at any given time was Edward, his family and Charlie. Charlie was working tonight and wouldn't be home for hours. The rest of the Cullen went for an overnight hunt. It was Emmett I was worried about.

As I drove around the rain started to fall. The wiper blades were wiping the drops away from the windshield. I couldn't find anything to stop the drops of tears running down my face.

Fumbling around in my purse I found my cell. Going down the contact list until I found his name. I push the call button.

"Hey Bella."

"Bella are you there?"

When I heard his happy go lucky voice on the other end I couldn't do it. I couldn't break his heart. One of us feeling this way was enough.

"Hey Emmett. I was just calling to see how the hunt was going?"

"It's okay. Jasper bet me I couldn't take down three deer in heard at the same time. Well you know I won the bet."

"Great. Well my battery is about to die so I'll talk to you when you get back."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah it's great. Bye."

Hanging up my cell as quick as I could. The bitch was going to win and Emmett would never know. As torn as I was about telling him; I didn't want to hurt him. He had done nothing wrong except picked an unfaithful bitch to love which, didn't love him back in the right way.

The rain picked up and so did the wind. It was so bad I was about to pull over because I couldn't see. When fate stuck it in my ass again tonight. I had a flat tire.

Opening the glove box up I found a flash light with a package of extra batteries, just in case. Charlie was always good about making sure I had emergency backup.

Putting my jacket over my head. It didn't help any. The rain was soaking me to the bone. I didn't know how to change a tire. I was fucked and needed someone to help. So I threw the wet jacket back in the truck on the floor when I got back in. I tried Charlie's cell and it only beeped.

"I have no reception. What else could go wrong?"

Headlights were coming from behind me. A guy got out and came to my window.

"Are you having car trouble?"

"I have a flat and I don't know how to change it."

"I will do it for you."

He was an older gentlemen. For some reason I thought I had seen him before. But it never came to me where it was from.

"Your spare is flat also. I can take you into town and get a tire."

"Um... I don't have any cash on me. Please don't take this the wrong way but, I don't really know you."

"How about I will go into town and you wait here okay?"

"I can't let you pay for my tire. It wouldn't be right."

"I can't just leave you here either. How right would it be to leave you sitting on the side of the road? Lock your doors and I will be back soon."

He took off and I only hoped he was going to come back. Oh well. I guess the worse thing would be he took my spare and I never saw him again. I would wait until the rain let up and walk if I had to. Or maybe someone else would come along and rescue me.

It was about an hour before I saw headlights again. A long hour of torturing myself with why wasn't I enough for Edward? Why couldn't I be prettier like Rosalie? The biggest one was why was I so stupid to believe him when we got back from Italy?

"Do you have a light?"

"Yeah. I'll hold it for you."

It was down to a sprinkle now. It wasn't like it really mattered because we both were still wet.

"I can't thank you enough for doing this. If you give me your address I will send you the money for the tire and your time."

"I don't want any money. I had a daughter about your age. I guess I feel better by taking care of you like I would hope someone would do for her."

He used the past tense, had a daughter. I didn't press the issue with him. He was being kind to me after all and went through a lot of trouble. He made general conversation until he had the tire on.

"Well thanks again. Are you sure you don't want to be reimbursed?"

"You're welcome. If you should need my services, call me."

He took something out of his pocket and handed it to me. It was a business card. But in the night I couldn't really read it. Tossing it up on the dash, I was going to get my butt home.

The rain had finally stopped by the time I pulled into the driveway. It figured it would stop since I really didn't care now if it rained the rest of the night. Charlie's cruiser was in the driveway when I got home.

"Hey Dad. What are you doing home so early?"

"Looking for you."

"What?"

"Edward called me because he couldn't find you. I called your cell about a dozen times. I was worried something happened to you."

"I'm fine. I just had a flat. I'm really tired. I think I'm going to go to bed. Good night."

"You need to call Edward. He is worried about you."

"Maybe tomorrow."

"Did you two have a fight or something?"

The phone rang and Charlie answered it. "Bella its Edward."

Taking the receiver from Charlie. I shifted it between my hands. I know I had to talk to Edward sooner or later. But I chose later as I hung up the phone.

"Bella talk to me. What happened?"

Charlie wasn't going to take no for an answer. He even made me some hot chocolate while I changed my clothes. My bath robe was good enough to lounge around on the couch. The cup felt good to my cold skin when I picked it up. Cold skin only reminded me of him.

"I broke up with Edward."

"Why?"

"I thought you would be happy to hear the wedding is off."

"Seeing you upset never makes me happy Bella. Although I can't say I'm not glad you came to your senses before you ended up ruining your life."

They have all told me the same damn thing; don't marry Edward. All for different reasons but, it was the general consensus he wasn't right for me.

Charlie was afraid I was too young to get married and he was right. I was to young too piss away life on someone who doesn't care about me. Because if Edward really cared he wouldn't have been with Rosalie. It still didn't hurt me any less though.

"Thanks for the hot chocolate and the talk. But I'm going to bed now."

Going up the stairs I thought about how I ended every night. Edward would always come through the window and spend the night in my room. He thought watching me sleep was the coolest thing. I thought him loving me was.

When I flipped the light on he was sitting on my bed waiting for me. Like he had done a million times before. Only this time it was different. Everything was different between us now.

"You need to leave."

"I had to make sure you made it home okay. Bella please, I am sorry with every fiber of my being. If I could take it back I would."

"Well you can't. So leave."

"If you love me. We can work this out."

"No we can't Edward."

"I forgave you when you kissed Jacob. You don't know how much it hurt me to see it. But I love you so much I got past it. If you love me half as much as I love you, you will too."

"Why? Why did you do it?"

Edward was no longer showing me his loving eyes I have come to love so much. He was looking down at the floor with his head hanging low. His hands came up to his face and he rubbed them down his cheeks.

"I really don't know. I have been so scarred about being with you the first time. I'm afraid I'll hurt you or worse. I didn't know what to expect sex to feel like or if I could stay in control during it. Rosalie was there and..."

"Are you seriously going to set there and act like you did it because you are concerned about my safety?"

"That's not what I'm trying to say Bella. I just wanted to be a good and loving husband to you. How much of a real man can I be if I don't even know how to please you without hurting you?"

"I'm tired and I want to go to bed. It's time for you to leave now."

"All I am asking is for you to think about it. I love you Bella and I'll do anything you want me to. I would get down on my knees and crawl while begging for your forgiveness. If it is what you want me to do."

Edward placed a kiss on my forehead and went out through the window. The same damn window I sat at for months pining for him when he left me. Part of me was still sitting before the window wanting to get my life back.

At first I thought I could fall sleep if I could just get the image of them being together out of my head. Keeping my eyes open wasn't helping either. Staring up at the ceiling in the dark was like a giant screen replaying what I saw when I opened the door. Every movement they made together and the noises coming from them were all my mind could think about.

"I might as well get up and do something productive."

No matter what I did, it always went back to Edward and Rosalie being together in my head. The kitchen was spotless and the laundry was done. I had washed, dried and folded it all. Looking at the clock, I let out a sigh. It was only five thirty in the morning and I was still wide awake with nothing left to do but, kill time.

Charlie was coming down the stairs. He went into the kitchen to start the coffee, only I had already done it for him. Along with baking three dozen chocolate chip muffins.

"Bella did you sleep at all last night?"

"I slept for a couple of hours."

"I'm going with Billy this morning. You're welcome to come along if you want to."

"I think I'm just going to hang out here today. I hope you have fun."

"I can stay home if you want me to."

"You should go."

Charlie was willing to sacrifice his Sunday morning to stay home with me. Only I wouldn't be much fun and I couldn't bring myself to tell him what really happened.

After Charlie left I laid down on the couch and flipped through the channels. It wasn't going to matter what I watched anyway. The only thing in my head was them. But I must have dozed off because I was woke up by a knock on the door.

"Emmett. You're home early."

By the look on his face, he knew. He stood there with sadness in his eyes like he was broken. "Can I come in? I don't have anywhere else to go Bella."

"Sure come in."

Emmett came home when Edward called him. He confessed what happened between him and Rosalie. Edward was having a hard time with the guilt and of course Rosalie denied it all.

"Is it true?"

"Yeah."

"I am so fucking blind. I should have seen it coming with them. They have spent a lot of time alone and go hunting together all the time. I just never thought Rosalie would do that to me."

Even though I was having the same emotions, doubts and blaming myself for not seeing it coming like Emmett was. I still didn't know what to say to him about it. The initial shock was always the worst part. Mine came last night and his didn't come until now.

"She looked me in the face and lied to me. I got this bullshit story about how Edward came on to her and he was pissed off because she turned him down is why he called me. I'm sorry Bella. How are you doing?"

"I'm doing about like you are. I wish I would have never met Edward. I wish I could just pack up and disappear from the face of the earth to never be found again. Most of all I wish the pain would stop."

"Yeah I know what you mean. I wish Rosalie never saved me and just let me die when she found me. Now I wish I would have punched her in the face before I left the house."

Rage, anger and ill feelings make you say and do crazy things. I couldn't help but to laugh a little. Because I wanted to punch them both in the face too. Only I wasn't strong enough but, Emmett was. The look on his face went to a hard cold look. His jaw tightened and he wore a frown for the first time.

"What's wrong?"

"Rosalie is here."

At least she was polite about it. She knocked before she went ahead and let herself in my home. This was as awkward as it was last night with Edward. So I excused myself so they could talk.

"Anything you have to say. You can say in front of Bella. It affects her too."

It's not like I wasn't wanting to be supportive to Emmett. I just didn't really want to hear anything Rosalie had to say. I sat down on the couch and let them talk.

"I don't know what to say Emmett. I am very ashamed of what I did. I never meant to hurt you. I would like for you to come home so we can be husband and wife again."

"I can't do that. I could never stand to be in the same room as you and Edward. You shared with him the most precious thing, yourself. He knows the expression your face makes when you're about to cum. The little cooing sound you make if you get excited. It would have been bad enough if you fucked around with a stranger. But you fucked around with my brother, our brother. At the time neither one of you stopped to think what it would do to me or Bella. Or how it would tear our family apart if you got caught."

After Emmett was done talking. I only thought I had it the worst by having to see it. Being sexually inexperienced was the best thing to happen to me. I never shared those things with Edward. Not that I didn't try to, he didn't want to.

Rosalie took something away from Emmett, he would never get back. At least Edward didn't do that. Although Emmett got stabbed by the double edged sword; his wife and brother.

"Please Emmett."

Rosalie put her hand on his arm. He shook it off. "It's best you leave before I get mad."

Going over and opening the door for her to take the hint it was time for her to go. "I'm sorry Bella. I truly am."

Slamming the door shut behind her. I was slamming the door on both her and Edward. Emmett and I agreed on one thing, there was no way we could be around both of them together again.

Emmett stood at the window with his arms crossed while he watched Rosalie walk away. She walked away from a good man. One who would have never hurt her like that.

"Are you okay Em?"

"Yeah and you?"

"I'll be okay."

"We need to get out of here."

"There isn't exactly many places to go in Forks."

"I mean get out of Forks. You said you wished you could leave here. Do you have something to keep you here now? I know I don't."

Throwing just a few things in a bag. Emmett said he would buy anything I needed. I wrote a note for Charlie while he went back to the Cullens to get his jeep. This was something I never thought about doing, running away. Until yesterday it wasn't something I thought would ever happen either, Edward hurting me again.

Scooping my sunglasses, maps and all the other shit on the dash of my truck into my bag. I was pacing in the driveway waiting for Emmett. He was gone a lot longer than I thought he would be. Maybe Rosalie made him change his mind about leaving.

"I was starting to think you weren't coming back."

"I'm ready to get the hell away from them and this town."

"Me too."

(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)

A change of scenery was a new start for me and Emmett. We couldn't decide where to go or what we wanted to do. But we knew one thing for sure, we would do it away from Edward and Rosalie. I didn't even mind the napping in the jeep because we weren't stopping.

"Are you hungry Bella?"

"Not really."

"You need to eat or at least try to. You didn't eat anything yesterday."

We stopped outside Butte Montana. It was beautiful here. Not really a lot different from Fork. But for me and Em, it was like being in a different country.

Emmett was messing around with his phone while I waited on my food. Rosalie kept calling and texting him. He finally tossed it on the table. I could tell he was upset and probably teetering on the thought of did we do the right thing by leaving.

"We can go back if you want to Emmett."

"I don't want to. It's just... "

"Just what?"

"I really wanted to believe her when she said Edward lied about it happening. It runs deeper than her betraying me with sex. She is the only person other than my family I have ever been close to in this life."

"We need to decide where we are going to from here. I have a map, you decide where Em. I haven't ever really been anywhere so any place will be new to me."

Taking the stack of papers out of my bag, I found the map. The red business card fell on the table.

"Where did this come from Bella?"

"I had a flat tire last night. A guy stopped to help me and gave it to me. It's written in a language I don't know."

"It's Japanese. It says he is a Shaman, a median between this world and the supernatural. He can reach spirits and cleanse your home to get unwanted spirits to leave. His name is Wind Talker. He is about an hour from here."

"He was a nice old man. He bought my tire and didn't want me to pay back the money."

"Maybe we should stop and see him. I can give him back his money."

Emmett acted strange after seeing the card. I never heard of a Shaman before. While were driving he kept picking up the card and looking at it.

"What is it Emmett?"

"I don't know. Call it a feeling, this is where we are supposed to go."

If this would take his mind off of our existing problem, I wouldn't try to stop him. However, I wasn't sure how this guy would react to us just showing up. Taking a few deeps breaths before knocking on the door. He came dressed in a long robe when he answered it.

"Hi. I don't know if you remember me or not. We happened to be in the neighborhood and I want to pay you back."

His were huge when he saw Emmett. "Come in."

The old man took a group of sticks it looked like to me and burned them. It smelled good whatever it was. He asked us to sit down and if we would like something to drink. When we said yes, he disappeared.

He shook as he poured our tea from the pot into the cups. He handed one to me and one to Emmett. Then the old man sat down in the rocking chair beside the couch.

"I have expected your arrival Bella."

"How do you know my name? I don't remember telling you what it is."

"I know many things about you. Like you are conflicted about your life now. I also felt a presence with you the other night. After meeting Emmett I know what it is. So Emmett how did you die?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am sitting here talking to you so how can I be dead."

"You don't have to pretend with me. I have walked with many supernatural beings in both worlds."

We were speechless. The more he talked to us the more he proved he did know a lot about us. He knew Emmett wasn't human but he never said the word vampire. He knew I wished I could disappear without a trace. It got to freaky for me. It was time to leave. I stood up and the old man took down a picture from the wall.

"This is my daughter, Nico. She died a horrible death many years ago. I have tried to reach her and I can't. But you can Bella. I can make your wish come true if you do this for me. You would have to go to the year 1952 and warn her of what is coming. In return I will make it so you never met Edward Cullen and take your pain away. As well as yours Emmett. If you change your mind along the way, after seeing Nico, you can return to your life and nothing will change."

"Travel back in time? You know what, this is the money for my tire. I have to go now."

"Bella lets at least listen to what he has to say."

Emmett talked with Wind Talker about some crazy shit. How do it and what he wanted done. The old man definitely had a few screws loose as far as I was concerned. But I stayed for Emmett. All we have now was each other.

"Come with me and I will prove it to you."

He opened adjoining doors into a room of darkness. He lit candles around the room. He put a funny looking hat on and sat down at a small table.

"Please sit down. With these. It will move you forward in time until you reach the destination. Please put them on."

It was a man's wrist watch and a ladies necklace watch. Neither one of them were moving. They both had stopped at twelve on the dot.

"These broken watches are going to make us travel through time?"

"Yes. Once they are joined to together and the words are said. But I must warn you. There are a few things that can never happen. You can't divulge your true identity or what you really are Emmett. History has already been written and you can do nothing to alter it or the consequences could be catastrophic. Never be in the same place as yourself in the past or you could stop existing in the future. You can only do the things we discussed and nothing more."

"Um... this is crazy. Thanks for the tea but we have to go now."

"I see you are a non-believer Bella. So what can it hurt to sit through this? If I'm a fraud like you think I am, then nothing will happen."

We humored the old man more than anything. Emmett seemed to be buying in to this but, I wasn't. Wind Talker took out three black stones, a small blue bottle and a wooden cross from a silk bag.

Emmett started laughing "This shit doesn't work on me dude." He tossed the cross over his shoulder.

"It wasn't to be used for that purpose. It is a part of my trance state."

"Oh shit. I'm sorry." Emmett picked up the cross and laid it back on the table.

The liquid from the bottle was drizzled down the center of the table. Wind Talker then splashed it towards me and Emmett.

"Both of you please join hands and repeat after me. Great spirit world take me to another place and time."

Emmett said it but, I wasn't going to. Wind Talker squeezed the cross in one hand and the stones in the other.

"Bella I need for you to say it and mean it."

"Um... okay. Great spirit world take me to another place and time."

Looking around nothing was happening or different just like I thought. I went to stand up when the table started to shake.

"What the hell?"

(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)

We landed with a hard thud in the dirt. It hurt my ass and didn't affect Emmett at all. There was nothing around but land as far as you could see.

"Where are we?"

"I don't know Bella. But Dorothy we aren't in Kansas anymore."

Emmett held out his hand to help me up from the ground. We started walking to find something to tell us where we were at.

"Do you believe now Bella?"

"There has to be a reasonable explanation. Time travel isn't possible."

"Neither are vampires and werewolves huh?"

There was no time for me to comment back to him. He had me and was running until we were in the woods. He put his finger up to his lips. I heard nothing but obviously he did.

It wasn't long until men were riding by us on horses. We looked at each other. Emmett bent down so I could get on his back as we followed after them. It would end up taking us somewhere.

A whistle was blowing. With Emmett's speed hopping the train was easy for him. Hell I was just happy to be on something solid again. We peeked into the box car through the small window in the door.

"We need to blend in. If they see us dressed like this, they will know we're different. Come on."

Emmett was jumping from car to car with me until we reached the last one. We searched through suit cases until we found some clothes to wear.

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

"I believe those are called bloomers Bella."

Hook after hook to get into the damn thing. I went behind a stack of boxes to change. Only I couldn't get this damn thing on by myself.

"Emmett can you help me?"

Most of my body was covered by this contraption except for my back side. When he walked around the boxes he looked handsome in the black three-piece suit he had on. The jacket was long and he filled it out well. His spurs wrapped around the black boots jingled with each step. Only the hat was all wrong for him.

"The hat is too small for your big head."

"I don't have a big head."

"Yes you do Emmett. Can you fasten this for me?"

His fingers worked fast. When they would brush against my skin, I shivered a little. He had a smile on his face as I turned around to thank him.

"What?"

"If I was told yesterday we would be here today. I would have called them crazy. But I'm glad you're with me Bella. This maybe just what we need to get through our problems."

"Maybe it is. I'm glad you're with me to Em. Now I have figure out how in the hell to get the rest of this on."

"I'll let you finish getting dressed."

It took me forever. With more damn pearl buttons on the dress needed to be buttoned. Women back then, I mean now. Hell I don't know what I actually meant. They had it rough. I would throw on a pair of jeans and shirt, a simple kind of girl.

"What do you think about this one?" As Emmett flicked the brim of the black cowboy hat with his finger.

"Much better."

"We will ride to the next stop then figure out where to go next."

Slipping into the car and mingling with the other people. We watched what they did and how they talked. So we could fit in better.

When five men came into the box car wearing bandanas over their faces. The one tipped his cowboy hat to me.

"Evening Ma'am. We mean you no harm as long as everyone listens and does what they're told. What's your name?"

"Bella."

"Well Ms. Bella. I'm Jessie James and this here is a robbery. I would like for you to take the fancy watch from the gentlemen setting beside you and put it in the bag for me."

I hope you enjoyed reading me!
