Time Hurts Part 2

Isabella's POV

It felt good, I not only had my son, but the daughter I lost a hundred years ago.

I noticed she didn't want to let go of me, and she had tears, and I felt the same way. Seeing your daughter/mother for the first time in a hundred years is going to be emotional.

"I don't…I don't know how I never knew," she said wiping non-existent tears.

"You were so focused on so many other things. I'm just so glad to finally see you. I was wondering what ever happened to my baby girl," I said hugging her again.

Edward touched her hair, and Anna put her hand on his. She had his hair, something we would have never known.

"Anna?"

I looked over, and so did Anna. It seemed to be her mate, boyfriend, or husband, whatever he happened to be.

Anna took her hand off of Edward's and walked over to him.

"Michael, thank you," she said.

When Michael kissed her, I felt Edward tense. Anna was our daughter, and we had never got the chance to meet her arranged love, or experience them fall in love.

She walked back over to us, and I felt Alice put her hand on my shoulder. I looked back and she smiled.

"Michael is Anna's mate. They were destined for each other," Alice said to me.

I looked over to Anna, and saw how happy they seemed. She surely looked like she loved him.

"Michael…" Anna said.

Before she could speak again, Edward spoke up.

"Nice to meet you Michael. How did you ever meet my daughter?" Edward asked.

"Grandma Masen and Grandma Swan set up my arranged marriage," Anna spoke up.

"What happened to your grandpa's?" I asked.

"They died of the influenza in 1918," she said.

I felt like crying. In just three years, my father would have died a hundred years ago.

"Michael. Did you ever, feel anything before the marriage?" Edward asked.

"Edward!" I said.

Michael felt uncomfortable, I could tell by how he was moving around.

"I know I should have expected the questions from Anna's parents eventually, but I didn't know it would be today," he said.

Parents of Anna. The realization hit me hard.

"How old were you when you were changed?" I asked.

"Nineteen," Anna said.

Two years younger than her father and myself.

"Did you finish school?" I asked.

"I did," she said.

I felt proud.

"Michael?" I asked.

"I was change at twenty one, and did not finish high school due to the war," he said.

Ah yes, World War II.

"Did you serve?" Alice piped in behind me.

"Two years before my death," he said.

"So Anna is older than you in life. Anna was born in 1912, and according to what I think, you must have been born in 1921," Edward said.

"Ah, that is correct. I've never noticed that before," Michael said.

"I want Anna to tell me what her childhood was like," I said.

"It's hurtful," Anna said.

"I can take it. I know it had to be. You didn't have us to nurture you," I said.

"Let's sit," she said.

We all walked into the living room, and I sat on the couch, crossing my legs. I was interested. I noticed Alice was too, because she followed.

"Start…with December 2nd," I said.

"Okay…"

I bit my lip.

"The day you guys "died", I was still a baby of course, so when Grandma Swan came over to check on you guys knowing you were sick, she refused to take me. Grandma told me when she came home, she held onto me tightly and cried. Grandpa Swan asked what was wrong, and she told him that you guys were lifeless. He immediately called the doctor, and the doctor rushed over to the house, checking to see what had happened. He had thought you died of dehydration. Grandma Masen and Swan were in tears, knowing all they had left of you was…well, me. Grandma Swan and Masen arranged they were going to move in together, to raise me. Grandpa Swan and Masen both agreed and they all moved in together.

As I got older, they noticed more changes in how I acted so much like you guys. Grandma Swan always pointed out how I couldn't walk without getting a bruise like my mother, and loved to play music like my father. When I was four, and started school, Grandma would always drop me off, and I never bothered saying she was my mom, I knew she wasn't, and glad I knew. When I went to school, kids teased me because I didn't have parents, and I didn't have parents because nobody loved me and that's why they left me. I told the teacher about my problems and she talked to the students but they didn't stop. When I told Grandma Swan, she talked to the teacher herself and explained the situation. Though, I wasn't in school for three days after that.

In 1918, we all fell down with the influenza, and soon Grandpa Swan and Masen both passed away. Grandma Swan and Masen, and I, all survived. While six years old during the time, I wanted to die, wanted to be with my family again, but I didn't. Years passed, and kids still didn't understand the situation of what happened to my parents, but I didn't care anymore ignoring them. I met Michael when I was eighteen and he was twelve. When I turned nineteen, on my birthday I was attacked.

I…I was raped and left to die. Someone found me, and I went through what seemed like years of pain, before waking up again. I noticed a lot of changes in myself, including the thirst for blood. I killed a lady who was already dying in the street as my first meal. I continued to feed on humans for a couple of years, before I re-met a dying Michael. He was dying, close to death, and I felt an attraction toward him, so I bit him. Wanting to kill him, but changing him instead. When he woke to me three days later, he didn't recognize me, or his human life, he was bare. He didn't know he he died, or how he changed, but he knew he needed to stay with me to survive. We stayed and hunted humans for the next thirty years, before marrying on our own.

We started to hunt animals when we met another family, the Denali's. We lied about our ages, and our names, and they showed us the real way to hunt, without having to kill innocent humans. When I was human, we used to always visit your graves the day you died, and I continued to do that in this life. That's when you met me a few years ago in Chicago…" she said.

I was shocked to hear so much about her, that I didn't know. How could I not have known her when I met her a few years back?

"You met your own daughter a few years back and didn't know it was her? Wow!" Alice said.

I glared at Alice, and she backed away.

"Please don't glare," she said.

"You were raped?"

I turned around to see Rosalie, and thought immediately how Rosalie's story was like Anna's.

"Yes," Anna said.

"And left to die?" Rosalie asked.

"Yes," Anna said.

Rosalie went and sat next to Anna.

"I know how you feel," Rosalie said.

"Rosalie…" I said.

She shushed me, and I stayed quiet….for now.

"You've never told me that before Anna," Michael said.

"It's not something I tell a lot of people," she said.

He nodded.

"I mean it's not like I go up to people and tell them my life story," Anna said.

"I agree, I promise," he said.

He looked afraid at what would happen, and when she kissed his cheek, the wind blew.

"You control the elements!" Alice squealed.

Anna looked like she was going to blush, and I smiled, she got that from me.

"I do, but I've controlled when it happens," Anna said.

"It always happens. She really hasn't controlled it yet," Michael said.

She hit Michael, and giggled at the same time.

"I've only ever met one other person who controls the elements. It's a rare gift."

Carlisle.

"Anna," she said.

"Nice to meet you. I've only ever heard nice things about you," he said.

"You know who I am?" she asked.

"Alice is a psychic, she saw this coming," he said.

"Alice!" I said.

"Well why else would I go to the grocery store? We don't eat!" Alice exclaimed.

"I would have liked to know. It would have really prepared me," I said crossing my arms.

The door opened again, little feet. Liam's feet.

When he clung to my leg, I immediately put him on my lap.

"Liam, we need you to meet someone," Edward said.

He looked over at Edward with his toothy smile.

I looked over at Anna and saw she was sitting at Liam's eye level.

"What about him? Does he have any abilities?" Anna asked.

He put his hand on her cheek, and held it there, and her eyes widened when he moved his hand back.

"That's so interesting," she said.

"His ability will grow as he gets older," I said.

"It already seems so strong," she said.

"Well everybody's powers take a while to grow. I doubt any of us just could do everything with them when woken up," Edward said.

"When I first woke up, and realized my powers, I couldn't even blow the wind," Anna said.

"I couldn't see anything but glimpse a few weeks into the future," Alice said.

"It's all different when we are all young. I have the same power as Marcus, I can sense the relationships in people. I knew the parents thing was true when you guys were all together," Michael said.

"I don't even have a power," Rosalie said shrugging.

"You have beauty," I said.

"I've always had beauty, It's just something I brought into this life," she said.

"Exactly. We all brought something from our human life," I said.

"Just like me, I brought my compassion for children," Esme said.

She sat down next to me, and smiled.

I saw Anna move back to her spot by Michael, it made me nervous.

"I can sense emotions. Just like Anna is excited, but so nervous at the same time," Jasper said coming into the room.

She bit her lip, looking so more nervous than myself.

Jasper looked at me, understanding. He knew me so well.

Michael stood up, and Anna followed.

"We have to go," Michael said.

I shot up, knocking Liam on the ground. I didn't want them going anywhere.

"No." I said.

"We can't stay in this home, we do have a life," Michael said.

I wanted to cry. I meet my daughter and then she leaves me, again.

"You can't leave. I just met you," I said.

"And we can't stay. I have a life outside of this. I'm kind of glad we stopped by, but we can't stay here. We need to move on. Just like everyone else," Anna said.

I wanted to cry as she told me she was leaving me, again.

She walked over to me, and embraced me into a hug, a mother-daughter hug. One of our only hugs.

When she let go, I wanted to cry even more, but tears would never form.

"Thank you for letting you meet me. I'll always remember this," Anna said.

And they were gone, out of my life. When the car was out of hearing and vision range, I silently sobbed.

Okay, I wasn't planning on expanding this "one-shot", but I felt like I was leaving you on a cliffhanger with the end of the first "chapter", so I made this. It won't be long! Five chapters max, maybe not even five, maybe four.

I hope you like the next part :)
