Be Careful What You Wish For

Adopted from Kactus Wrynn

A/N: Hiya folks! SteampunkFairytale here. I've adopted this lovely story from Kactus Wrynn, who wrote the first five chapters. After that it'll be all me, though I promise to do my best to keep to the original spirit of the story Wrynn began.

Bella groaned as she opened her eyes, she felt like she'd been run over by a truck. She looked around then, this was not Forks. She staggered to her feet; it looked like she was in an empty lot. She wondered how she got here, the last thing she remembered was falling asleep in the meadow after making a wish on a falling star, and 'I wish I was somewhere I could heal, no matter how broken I am.' Well she was certainly not in the meadow; she didn't think she was even in Washington anymore. She stumbled slightly as she walked out of the lot and onto the sidewalk in front of it. She looked left, it looked deserted and cold and lonely, she looked right, there were people hustling and bustling in the distance, she went right. As she walked towards the people, she thought about why she'd made that wish in the first place.

- Flashback-

Bella sobbed as she ran from the Black's little red house. She'd given all her heart to Edward and then he left and she'd gone practically comatose, Jake had brought her out of that, and had helped her heart mostly grow back, but now he was ripping it out again. She loved him, she did, but it was just not the way he wanted her to. She could remember very clearly the harsh, angry words he'd shouted at her,

"Get out Bella! Get out and don't come back until you can get over the leech! I can give you everything he can't! We're perfect together! But you can't see that because your eyes are still blocked by that leech! Leave Bella! Just leave!"

Just remembering those words made the brand new hole in her chest throb painfully. She ignored the tears and the rain streaming down her face as she scrambled into her truck-'I rebuilt the engine', a flash of that boyish grin-she sobbed even harder, finally she got the truck started; she peeled out of their driveway, out of La Push altogether, probably for good. She headed to the Cullen's old house, glancing at the matches and four cans of gasoline in the passenger seat, she'd gone to Jake's-her chest throbbed-that day to ask him if he wanted to help her commit arson, namely burning down the Cullen's house. She pulled into their drive, drove straight up to the house, turned off the truck and climbed out, grabbing two cans of gasoline and the matches. She headed to the door, turned the handle, it was unlocked just like she hoped it would be, she walked in and removed the lid of the gasoline, she went through the house pouring it over everything, when it was empty, she dropped it and headed for the door, the rain had stopped. She exited the house, leaving the door open and setting the trail of gasoline leading into the house on fire. She climbed into her truck, eying the last two cans, and started driving away, watching as the house exploded in the rearview mirror. She had found the meadow not too long ago, granted Laurent had also been there and planning to kill her before the wolves chased him off and she was pretty sure she could find her way again. When she got to the edge of the woods, she climbed out of her truck and grabbed the two cans of gasoline after she put the matches in her jacket pocket and started walking. It was dark by the time she found the meadow and the sky was clear above and she was tired so she lay down and just looked up at the sky, trying to ignore the pain from the new hole in her chest. A shooting star passed over head 'I wish I was somewhere I could heal, no matter how broken I am.' Her eyes closed and she fell asleep never even noticing as the star glowed even more brilliantly above, and as it passed over her she shimmered and faded away.

-End of flashback-

She came out of her memories when she reached the people, she glanced around, and this looked like the pictures she'd seen of New York. Only one thing went through her head, 'How on Earth did I get from the meadow in Forks to an empty lot in New York?'
