Coming home, Twilight and Vampire Diaries crossover.

Summary: Bella Gilbert has had her heart broken many times, but this time she decides it's time to head home and face what she never was able to recover with the help of her sister, Elena Gilbert and her brother Jeremy Gilbert but she comes home to a pack of lies.

A/N. Just clarifying that Bella and Elena are sisters, but they are NOT twins. They are just sisters; they are not identical besides the colour of their hair. This is set during new moon of Twilight and set season 3 of vampire diaries, which will be a little different. When I say little, I probably mean massively different. Let me know what you think in a review.

Chapter 1 – prologue

Bella's POV

I could do this, I tell myself. I could face back home. I could face anything, I need to do this. I owe it for myself. I am strong enough, I have to do this.

I have been away from my sister and brother for too long, and even though I talk to them weekly, and they insist their okay, I haven't seen them in a while and I need to spend my time with them. I need to see them; I need to be around my family.

I hadn't notified them I was finally coming home; I wanted it to be a surprise. I knew my way to Mystic Falls perfectly, it's like I occasionally visit here to know, but I don't. I just know it.

As soon as I was at the Gilbert house, I turned my engine off and took my suitcase out, I only needed one suitcase. I wasn't the type to bring everything with me, I would usually think about the most important stuff, and then I'd just bring that, and one suitcase was enough for me.

I walked along the driveway, it had been a long time since I'd walked this driveway, since our Mother and Father died, and I'd gone to their funeral is when I was last here. It has been far too long, of course.

I tried not to think about Edward, but I couldn't help the thought of him from glimpsing in my mind, I have lost many people. I have lost them to death, to love, to heartbreak, and I'm still here. I'm still breathing. I don't know how, or why, but I am and I should at least be thankful for that, right?

I knocked on the door, feeling slightly weird that I don't have my own keys here anymore. Technically, I do but Elena told me a while back that they had changed the locks because Aunt Jenna was paranoid that someone could get in or something, but Elena assured me everything was perfectly fine, and so did Jeremy so I hadn't worried.

I looked up, as a presence opened the door but it wasn't Elena, neither was it Jeremy or Aunt Jenna. It was a man, actually. A very strong, muscular man with dirty blonde hair. Very tall and handsome. I am pretty sure my sister never told me about this guy, otherwise I wouldn't be so surprised. Or speechless, for that matter as I am stood here without one single word, gaping at this man, a stranger.

"Can I help you with anything?" The stranger asked raising his eyebrows.

"Yes… I'm erm… I'm looking for Elena?" I asked him, curiously wondering if I'm even at the right place. I mean, I haven't been in Mystic Falls for at least 2 years, so it's understandable if I'm in the wrong place, "Or Jeremy?"

I knew I sounded desperate, but now I am desperate for answers, because I'm pretty sure, 100% sure I'm standing outside my childhood outside, only to be met with a stranger. Not my sister, or brother, or Aunt. A stranger.

"Jeremy's at work, and Elena, she's out at the moment with a friend. Can I ask who you are?" The guy asked.

I didn't know if to answer him, or head somewhere else like the Grill since I'm pretty sure Jeremy works there. He told me about his new job last year, when he got the job.

"Well I could ask you the same question actually." I stated, I know I sound really mysterious, but so was he. I mean, if he is connected to Elena and Jeremy in some way, surely they would have spoken about me before? Or even Aunt Jenna, surely she'd have spoken about me?

"I asked you first." He only replied. He didn't have a specific type of expression; I looked down and noticed a ring on his finger. I squint my eyes, thinking for a moment that it is a daylight ring until I realise it's not. Thank god, I feel relief, happy that Elena or Jeremy hadn't invited any vampires in. They were safe, safe and sound.

"I'm Bella, and if you don't mind, I'm really hungry. And thirsty. So, I kind of would appreciate waiting for them in here," I suddenly found myself saying, and figuring out that I was in fact hungry. I pushed myself and my suitcase through, and past this weird guy, I will get to the questions soon.

I left my suitcase at the bottom of the stairs for now, as I headed straight to the kitchen, got myself a drink of water, and opened the fridge and got myself something to eat.

I sat at the breakfast counter, and all I could think about was the memories. The memories when Mother and Father were alive, I did miss them. Life goes on though, and mother and father would not have wanted me to be sad, they'd want me to be happy.

Whilst I was eating, I totally had forgotten about the guy that was in my house, well old house as I heard footsteps entering the kitchen, I looked up, seeing that he was just standing there and just staring at me. Well, that sure as hell is creepy.

"What?" I straightforward ask, not caring how I sound.

"I'm just, I don't know, I've never heard about you before." The guy said, the guy that is still a stranger to me, and still I don't know the name of.

"You've never heard about me before? I sure as hell have never heard about you before, either, hell, I don't even know your name." I laughed to myself, I don't know how I can be partly myself in front of this… man. I have never met him in my life before.

"Sorry… I'm Alaric." The guy introduced himself,"Sorry I didn't introduce myself before, I was just curious… I mean who isn't after everything that has happened in this town." Alaric chuckled.

I don't understand what he means, exactly? After everything that has happened in this town? Everything was fine in this town right? Nothing mysterious or supernatural, well at least Elena kept telling me nothing had changed in this town much. Alaric must have been talking about the past. Yes, most definitely was, maybe that's why he laughed.

"I guess so," I said and I don't offer anymore conversation whilst I'm sat here. I've finished eating my snack; I just have half a drink left of water.

"So, how do you know Elena and Jeremy, if you don't mind me asking?" Alaric asked.

I laugh as if it is obvious, "Elena's my sister, and Jeremy's my brother. To say you live in this house, you don't much about us do you?" Elena and Jeremy must have told him my full name, if he does not know me by Bella. They would not let anyone live here, without knowing about their family, right?

"I wasn't aware they had any other sisters. I mean… they never mentioned anyone…" Alaric said, looking confused.

I suddenly don't feel thirsty anymore, or feel like I should be here for that matter. I've never been mentioned, to a guy that lives here? To a guy that clearly knows my brother and sister, yet doesn't know, isn't aware, that Jeremy and Elena have a sister. And that sister is me! How the hell is that even possible?

"They… They never… t-told you about me?" I stuttered. No, this can't be right. If Jeremy and Elena didn't speak about me, clearly Aunt Jenna would?

Alaric shook his head. Well that was my answer. I don't even remember why I came here in the first place now; I clearly do not know my sister or brother as well as I thought?

"Not even A..Aunt Jenna?" I stand up, wanting to leave but istraight at Alaric, but when I mention Jenna, his whole body freezes like he's wary of the name, like he doesn't like talking about her…

Who even is this guy to my family? Why is he in my house?

Something is obviously up. Why would he not answer me, when I question about Jenna? I feel uneasy, like I am about to faint because of lack of energy.

"What is it that you're not telling me?" I urge from him.

"Maybe… maybe we should wait until Elena and Jeremy get back." Alaric looked down at his feet.

"No, I'm not waiting until they get back because I will be gone, tell me, Alaric?" I say his name for the first time, I don't know how I sound, frankly, I don't care, I just need to know.

"Jenna's… Jenna's gone."

Jenna's gone. Aunt Jenna is gone. She can't be gone.

Then it suddenly all makes sense, well not all, but the part about Jenna. Every time I would ask to talk to her, Elena would claim that she's gone on holiday. They lied to me. My siblings lied to me… all this time.

What else are they hiding? I find myself thinking.

I feel a tear come down my face, no. I cannot cry. I promised myself I wouldn't since that night.

I need to leave. I should leave here. I don't belong here, I need to be somewhere else.

I walk out of the kitchen, and headed straight for the hallway, where my suitcase lays. I grab it, and I head to the front door, I'm about to open it, but the door opens anyway. I look up, and I'm too late. Elena's back.

She looks up, and she sees me, her eyes light up, but then she sees my expression and she looks behind me and sees Alaric probably looking as confused as ever. I don't care, I need to leave.

"Bella? You're… You're here." She seems shocked, but I sense happiness in her voice somewhere. I tell myself that I don't care. All I can think about is that I need to leave.

"Not for long. If you'll erm, if you'll excuse me, I have to… I have to leave." I replied.

"N-No… Bella, don't, please… stay?" Elena asked.

I look at her and for a second I feel slight pity, but then I remember that she has lied to me, both her and my brother.

"Why Elena? So that you can lie to me over and over again? No, I don't think so. When were you going to tell me that Aunt Jenna died? And when were you going to tell me that I no longer exist as your sister?"

I sigh when I get no reply. Instead, I push past her and leave the house. I head straight to my car, and I head straight to a motel.
