The Other Salvatore
Chapter 1
Hi everyone! I'm back with another The Vampire Diaries fic! Try to check out my other one, Eternal, although this one does have different pairings to the other. Also, as this is a crossover, I also have a family-fic Twilight fic, We Are Family.
I have played around with the timelines a bit. In doing this post Breaking Dawn and during season 7 of The Vampire Diaries, but Stefan and Caroline are seniors as they haven't graduated yet. This story does include all of the Cullen's and mentions of Charlie. I will not be including the wolf pack as I did not like the way Stephanie Meyer did the whole Renesmee and Jacob imprint. Furthermore, this story will also not be including any issues with the Armory and I won't be delving into the Heretics too much.
Pairings: Bella/Edward, Alice/Jasper, Rosalie/Emmett, Esme/Carlisle, Caroline/Stefan, Bonnie/Enzo
Lots of love!

I ran through the forest, my husband and our daughter running besides me. Now that all of the drama with the Voltori was over, I was free to live my life with my family, but there were two people missing. For years, I had been in love with Edward Cullen, and I knew that once I found out his secret, I had to tell him mine. I had to tell him the truth. The truth is that I am a 170-year-old vampire, not the same kind of he Cullen's, the kind that burns in the sun. I lived in Mystic Falls in 1864 with my father and two brothers, Stefan and Damon. My mother died when I was ten, and my father never had that much time for us, so Damon looked after Stefan and I, although he was only five years older. Stefan and I were twins, born in 1847 to Giuseppe and Lily Salvatore, Damon was born five years before. I was changed in 1864 by a girl my brothers spent their lives swanning over, Katherine Pierce. I knew why she changed me, she saw me as a threat, she saw me as someone who took my brothers' attention away from her, so she killed me with her blood in my system and sent me away. I haven't seen Damon or Stefan since, I am sure they are dead now, and they have been for years. I never bought myself to return to Mystic Falls, knowing that it would hurt too much.
I made the final leap over the river towards the house, Edward and Renesmee following behind me. Although Edward loves to think he's the fastest, he knows that my age gives me an advantage. I walked into the room to find everyone congregated on the couches.
"What's going on?" I asked, I looked towards Edward, his face was showing a look of realisation.
"We think it's time to move again, we have been here for almost six years, the longest we have ever been in one place. As Bella, you are the newest addition to our family, we think it's right that you choose where we move next." Carlisle said, reaching up to put his arm around Esme's shoulders.
"Virginia, Mystic Falls." The words were out of my mouth before I even registered them in my brain.
A look of understanding crossed Carlisle's face, and I looked around the rest of my family, looking for any reason why they wouldn't want to move there. Thankfully, nobody objected to my decision.
…
It only took my family a few days to get organised. As we were all supposed to be at college, there was no need to worry about school. Carlisle tied loose ends with finances and investments in Forks before he resigned from the hospital. Esme found a new house on the outskirts of Mystic Falls, and furnished it to perfection. Finally, Edward and secured our little cottage, him promising me that one day we would come back for it. Finally, everyone was ready to leave. I wasn't thankful in the slightest that it has only taken four days to take care of everything here in Forks. Every day was one day closer to returning to Mystic Falls, the place I was born, the place my brothers died.
"You ready love?" Edward asked me.
He was leaning against the bonnet of his Volvo, the others had already left as we were driving from Forks to Virginia. Edward was driving his Volvo, Carlisle was driving his Mercedes, Esme was driving her Jaguar, Jasper was riding his Ducati, Rosalie was following them in her shiny red BMW, Alice was driving to Mystic Falls in her Porsche and Emmett was with Renesmee in the Jeep. I was following behind everyone in my Ferrari, which had come my second favourite thing on the planet, after my family of course.
"No, but I have to be ready to go eventually…" I trailed off. I leaned up and kissed him before walking over to my car and starting the engine. As we didn't need to stop, it only took us eight hours to drive from Forks to Mystic Falls.
The first place we headed to was the new house. We drove through town and past the high school we would be going to on the way. Only Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and I would be starting school as Renesmee was too young. Carlisle, would we working in Mystic Falls General, of course. Esme would stay at home, to take care of Renesmee when we weren't there, as she was an excellent tutor for her. We spent the night unpacking and by 3AM I found myself at the gates to Mystic Falls Cemetery, but I couldn't make my feet move from under me. I reached over and took the old padlock in my hands, twisting it until it snapped. I pushed the gates open and walked slowly to the Salvatore crypt. I stopped in front of the locked doors, I couldn't bring myself to walk inside, I knew that my brothers were in there and it was breaking my heart all over again. After what felt like hours, I slowly began to walk away from the crypt and towards the gate, closing it securely behind me. I quickly made my way back to the house, knowing that Carlisle and Esme had enrolled us in school for this morning, much to my disappointment. I quickly ran back into the house and up to my room to get ready before Renesmee woke up, Edward was in there reading on the couch.
"How was it?" He asked quietly, knowing where I had been. He walked over to me and put his arms around my waist.
"It was fine, I think, but I really need to shower and get ready before Renesmee wakes up. Do you think I can drive my car to school today?" I wondered, pulling my best puppy-dog eyes.
Edward smiled slightly, wrapping me in his strong embrace.
"You know that I can't say no to you, just don't make a habit out of it." He said, kissing my forehead before leaving the room to allow me to prepare for the day.
It took me less than half an hour to get ready, and by that time Renesmee was awake and eating breakfast downstairs.
"Morning, honey." I said, kissing her forehead.
"Hi, mommy." She smiled a brilliant smile that reminded me of Edward every time.
"Will you be okay here with her today, you know she can be a handful sometimes." I laughed, going to give Esme a hug.
"I'm sure that everything will be fine, and I have your number if I have any difficulties. Besides, Carlisle doesn't start work until next week so maybe we can take her out, how about that honey?" Esme asked, looking at Renesmee.
Renesmee giggled at her grandmother, nodding her head wildly.
"Okay guys, time to go." Alice announced, coming down the stairs and throwing me my car keys, knowing I wanted to drive today.
Everyone bid a goodbye to Esme, Renesmee and Carlisle before we walked out of the front door. I got into my Ferrari, Emmett followed after announcing that he was riding with me today, and everyone piled into Rosalie's car.
It had been decided that Edward, Alice, Renesmee and Emmett would remain as Cullen's and Jasper and Rosalie would be the Hale twins like before, and I would go by my given name, Isabella Salvatore. I was hoping that the surname Salvatore would not raise too many questions, as Salvatore was one of the founding families. I sped into the parking lot, Rosalie following behind me. We all got out of our vehicles, and moved away from them, knowing that the whole of the student body would be surrounding them soon. I looked around the parking lot and noticed nothing but small hatchbacks and Ford pick-ups. The only other car that stood out remotely was the shiny black Tesla that was parked in the corner. Two people were leaving against it, with another girl standing beside them laughing. None of them looked familiar, that was until I noticed the hair colour and the cheek bone structure of the boy that was leaning against the hood, his arm around the waist of a beautiful blonde girl.
"Stefan…" I whispered to myself.
The boy suddenly stiffened and turned around to face me.
"Isa… Isabella." He muttered to himself. The girls beside him just looked confused.
It took me about ten seconds to get across the parking lot. I jumped into Stefan's arms, he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. Eventually we both pulled away from each other. He cupped my face with his hands, brushing my bangs away from my face.
"How… what… I don't understand?" is stuttered.
"How are you here Stefan?" I asked, confused.
"I was changed in 1864 by Katherine, how are you here? How are you alive it's been over 170 years?" he whispered, dumbfounded.
"I was changed by Katherine too, she made me leave you and Damon. I'm so sorry, Stefan." I choked on my tears, falling back into his arms, he put one hand on my back and used the other to stroke my hair comfortingly.
"Shh, it's okay Isa. I can't believe after all of these years, my sister is alive." He whispered. If anyone didn't understand before, I'm sure they did now.
Eventually Stefan and I pulled away from each other, the bell had already rung but we just ignored it. We hadn't seen each other in 170 years and I was finally home, with my twin brother. If only Damon was here too.
"So I believe introductions are in order." Stefan said, looking at the Cullen's.
"Well, this is my husband Edward, my sisters in law Alice and Rosalie, and my brothers in law Jasper and Emmett." I said turning to Stefan as he looked over the Cullen's appreciatively.
"Well, this is our resident witch, Bonnie, and my fiancé Caroline." Stefan informed me.
"Well, we've missed the bell, maybe we should go somewhere and talk more privately. Let's go back to the boarding house?" Stefan's fiancé, Caroline, asked.
Everyone agreed and we decided it was best to follow Stefan in his car back to his house. We drove through the town and over Wickery Bridge, which I was surprised was still standing, and down a long driveway to a large boarding house. Everyone cut their engines and got out of their vehicles, slowly taking in the beauty of the house that stood before us.
"Bella, we have another surprise for you." Stefan said, putting his arm around his shoulders like he used to.
The sound of the front door opening interrupted my question.
"Stefan, what is…" the person trailed off, seeing everyone on the driveway before his eyes landed on me.
"Isabella." He whispered, but I was already running into my older brother's arms.
"Damon, I've missed you so much." I whispered, squeezing harder.
"Isabella, what is going on? How did you become like us?" he questioned, his eyes trailing over the Cullen's for a second before returning to me.
"Katherine." I spat her name like it was poison, and by the way Stefan and Damon growled, I assumed that they didn't like Katherine that much anymore.
"She turned you? How? When?" Damon asked, his eyes laced with confusion.
"October 1864, she changed me and told me I had to leave otherwise she would hurt you, but she did anyway, didn't she? That's how you're both standing in front of me right now." I muttered, cursing Katherine.
"What happened to her by the way?" I wondered.
"She's dead." Stefan muttered darkly, walking into the house. I followed him, expecting to have to be invited in, to my surprise I walked straight through. Damon must have noticed my surprise.
"Nobody living lives inside the house so technically nobody owns it, although with all of the issues we've had maybe we should have changed that years ago."
The rest of the Cullen's followed everyone in easily and took in the vast living room in front of them.
"Well, this is completely different to the Salvatore Mansion back in the 1800s." I said, glad that the decor had changed, I hated those ghastly colours and bulky furniture that took up all of the space in my old home.
Once everyone was comfortable in the living room, Alice called Esme and Carlisle and asked them to bring Renesmee over to the house. Soon enough the doorbell rang and I leapt up to answer it. Damon and Stefan followed me.
"Damon, Stefan, this is my mother and father for all purposes, Esme and Carlisle. This beautiful little girl is my daughter Renesmee. Renesmee you know you have Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Well, these are mommy's real brothers from when she was human. This is your Uncle Stefan and your Uncle Damon." I said. In put Renesmee on the ground and she took off running in their direction. She stopped in front of them and raised her hands slowly and put one on each of their cheeks. Firstly, they were startled, but then they understood what was happening.
"She's gifted?" Stefan asked, he picked up his niece and balanced her on his hip.
"Yeah, a few of us are actually. I'm a mental shield, Edward can read your minds, Alice can see the future and Jasper is an empath." Stefan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"So, Isabella are you ready to tell us your story? I'm sure that Steffie will be happy enough to tell you his and I'll tell you mine afterwards." Damon said, guiding me to the couches in the centre of the drawing room.
Everyone gathered around. Damon and Edward sat on either side of me, whereas the other Cullen's took seats on the various couches and armchairs on the other side of the coffee table. Bonnie was leaning against the arm of the couch closest to Damon. Stefan was sitting with Caroline besides him and Nessie on his lap. Caroline was fussing over Nessie making her giggle, I was sure that Caroline and I would be great friends, and given by the size of the rock on her ring finger I'm sure she would be my sister soon enough.
"So, everything started on the twenty-fifth of September 1864, six days before mine and Stefan's birthday…"
AN - Just a little note that Renesmee looks like a seven or eight-year-old in my story, picture how she looked at the end of Breaking Dawn Part 2
I really hope you guys enjoyed that chapter and I'm so sorry I left it on a cliff-hanger! I'll be back with another chapter by the end of the week I promise!
