Angel Summary-When Carlisle was changed, nobody realised that he left a very precious thing behind, his five year old daughter Bella. Unknown to him Bella was also changed 14 years later age 16, will everything work out with them and could he handle his Edward falling in love with her?

Carlisle Cullen was sick of doing these stupid vampire hunts, all he wanted to do was stay home with his angel Bella. He had already lost Bella's mother in child-birth, he didn't want to take any risk of her becoming an orphan, but he knew this would be a way to make his father proud, he had already disappointed him my marring and having a child at 18.

"Father, the men are waiting outside, I'll be back just before sunrise, take care of Isabella for me"

"Carlisle, you have a maid, she can look after the child" Carlisle sighed knowing it was a useless battle to get his father to bond with Bella, it would never happen.

"Victoria, Bella has to be fed, bathed and put to bed by 6, no-later" He smiled to himself knowing Bella would go to bed a lot later than 6 as she could wrap even the hardest men around her finger, never mind her gentle maid Victoria.

"Very well father, I will be back soon"

Unbeknown to Carlisle he wouldn't be back soon, as lurking in the shadows were a group of weak unfed vampires waiting for any-sort of prey, and that prey would be-of course-Carlisle. When the vampires emerged his men ran, leaving him there to cope on his own. He felt the razor sharp teeth of the monster sink into his neck and the fire coursing through his veins. That night Carlisle hid under bags of old potato peelings, trying anything to muffle his screams, thinking of what he was becoming and what would become of his angelic daughter.

*************************************************************************************

It had been 3 days and 3 nights since the pastor had last seen his son, the child had not stopped crying since her father hadn't returned, the maid had tried to comfort her, but to no avail, nothing could prevent the little girl crying. On the forth night Isabella abruptly stopped crying, Victoria raced to the girls room, worried something had happened, but instead saw her smiling at the window.

"Daddy came!, he twas der, he ad wed eyes, he smiley me" Victoria was worried about the little girls health, she had started seeing things.

"Father Cullen!, its Isabella" Knowing he wouldn't reply Victoria whisked the little girl up and carried her out the house, she knew a family that would happily take little Isabella in, they had a son of their own, but at least the beautiful girl would be loved.

*************************************************************************************

"Happy 16th Birthday Izzy" The little girl wasn't little anymore, she had been adopted into a wealthy family, she seemed happy, but underneath she was miserable. She had never forgot about her father and missed him so much each and everyday, her adopted parents were lovely and generous to her, but they didn't fill that void. Ever since Victoria had taken her that night she had never let anyone call her Bella, that was her fathers name for her.

A problem for Bella was her adoptive brother Henry, he was 1 year older and had always been a bit cruel to Bella, the odd punch here and there, but recently it had been taken to the next level, he would use his brute strength to break a rib, her petite body was covered in cigarette burns. The bullying wasn't all physical though, it was mental, with little whispers when she walked past "Mother and Father hate you", "Your father never loved you", "Ugly, Fat, Despicable, A laughing stock", Bella's confidence was in tatters until exactly three months after her 16th birthday, Henry and Bella had to go to the next village to get their shoes tailored.

"Were taking a short cut through the forest"

"Mother said we weren't to, she said there are dangerous things in those woods"

"Well mother isn't here, I am and I'm in charge, there's nothing more dangerous in there than me" Henry smiled at Bella threatening "Come on then".

Bella and Henry made there way to the clearing, there was a root sticking out the mud which Bella tripped over , her knee gushed with blood.

"Why don't you smell pretty, I could just eat you up" A voice sounded from the thicker trees. Bella looked over at Henry, his eyes had widen in fear as he looked into the forest.

"What's there Henry?" Bella didn't feel any fear as she looked up at Henry, she felt finally things were happening for a reason, things were falling into place.

A creature stepped out from behind the trees, its eyes a deep crimson piercing into Bella.

"What's there Henry?" the creature began to mimic Bella's voice "Little girl, have you never been told a scary story, about witches, dragons, werewolves…vampires?"

"I have, but there all make-believe, there's nothing real about them" Bella responded strongly, the creature began to laugh, "Such a strong-headed girl, but not very clever" he sighed and looked at Henry

"I'm very thirsty, and my mother told me never to play with my food, did yours?"

"Y-y-yes she told us not to" Henry spluttered,

"Well I better not then" The creature darted at Henry, he allowed a blood-curdling scream escape his mouth "Please please don't hurt me…wh-what are you?"

"Silly boy, I'm a vampire and like I said, I'm very thirsty"

"No don't hurt me, take her, I have things to live for, she's already bleeding"

"What a nasty boy you are, trading your sisters life for your own, this will make it all the more fun"

The vampire shot at Henry, his body became gradually limper and the screaming faded, the vampire quickly disposed of the body and turned his attention back to Bella.

"Now you, what to do with you?"

Bella looked dumbfounded, though still no fear passed through her veins, she was as calm as when she entered the forest. The vampire sighed, this meal was no fun she wasn't scared of him, she didn't shout and plead she just stood and waited, so he did as she wanted and lunged.

Bella could feel the fire coarse through her veins, burning everywhere it went, the vampire must have killed her, she must be going to hell for allowing Henry to die, that was it she was going to hell, the minutes felt like years, but with her only feeling she had apart from burning, she felt different, more alert more defined.

*************************************************************************************

When Bella awoke, she was in different surroundings, she seemed to be lying on a cushioned chair, her throat felt dry and sore, but she was mostly relieved the pain was over. Surprisingly graceful she jumped of the seat and turned to the window.

"Ahh, your awake then" Bella quickly turned around and growled, startled she backed into a corner.

"No-no its okay, don't be scared, I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that, I'm Alistair, I found you in the forest, whoever changed you didn't stick around"

"Thank you, Sir, for not leaving me" Bella gasped at the sound of her voice it was like bells tinkering.

"Surprised at the change?, here I brought a mirror, so we get the appearance check out the way" Alistair laughed and handed the mirror to Bella "Take a look" Bella gasped at the sight of her reflection, her hair was longer with a slight wave it looked velvety and soft, she had curves in all the right places and her complexion and bone structure, was that of an angel, what shocked her most was the colour of her eyes.

"My eyes!"

"Don't worry you'll get used to it"

"Used to it?, that means I have to kill humans?"

"That would generally be the idea" Alistair laughed "You remind me so much of someone, I just don't know who, anyway you didn't tell me your name"

"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me, I'm Isabella, but people generally call me Izzy"

"What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl" If Bella's heart was beating she would have been heavily blushing at the moment.

"How old are you, you seem so young"

"I celebrated my 16th birthday a couple of months back" Alastair gasped

"Your only 16, so young, what kind of monster would take such a young girls life away?, so Isabella what's your last name?"

"Well I got adopted when I was five so I'm Isabella Marie Cullen-Kingsley"

"Cullen!?, I knew I recognised that way of speaking, the no-killing humans policy, but I didn't know he had a daughter, why were you adopted?"

"My mother died in childbirth and my father went out vampire hunting" Bella giggled at the irony "But he never returned"

"Good god, Carlisle Cullen is that your fathers name?"

"Yes, yes it is why, do you know him, is he alive?"

"Yes of course, he stayed with me for a while, while he was a newborn, the last I knew he had gone to Italy to find a reason for our existence" Alistair laughed "He was a strange one, at first he tried everyway to end his life, them turned to only feeding of animals" Bella gasped, she must find him, Alastair saw the urgency in her eyes, "You should go, I've been on my own for centuries, a few more won't hurt" He looked at Bella, he had already fallen in love with this girl, he had already dreamt of her calling him father, but to keep her there would be cruel and wrong "Go through the forest, deep through, humans don't tend to go there, you will attack if you come across one so be careful".

Bella stayed with Alastair a few more days to learn as much as possible, on the last day he handed her a diamond chain for luck, she thanked him and flew out the door. Alastair was never the same since Isabella left and his loneliness became all the more pronounced.
