New Divide

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own any Twilight characters. However, I do own Bella's powers. They are awesome, if I do say so myself.

Summary: Edward left in New Moon and never came back. What happens when the Cullens see Bella again? She's no longer the sweet, innocent Bella they knew and loved. Something's off about her, though. If she's not a vampire, how is she alive?

Chapter One: An Announcement

EPOV:

It has been 20 years, 6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, and 7 minutes since I had left my angel, Bella, in the woods alone. It also happened to be the same day that Bella went missing and was never found. I blame myself for that everyday even though my family has forgiven me. Everyone felt depressed and guilty for leaving Bella. Even Rosalie.

Since that incident, I've kept myself locked in our basement in our home. I never left unless I had to go hunt, and I would do that alone. Everybody has tried to talk to me, but I would just ignore them and continue my wallowing. Eventually, they all just stopped talking me. Oh why did I leave my sweet Bella?

My wallowing was interrupted by Alice. I looked at her questioningly with hollow, dead eyes.

"I had vision…. You should see this." I let her drag me into the living room where the family was seated.

Emmet was the first to speak. "He's alive!!!" Rosalie smacked him in the back of his head.

"Ouch, Rosie! I'm just excited to see my brother. Is that so wrong?"

Everyone laughed at Emmett, even I did.

"Okay enough of the jibber jabber! Shush and watch the TV!" Alice commanded. She flipped the channels until she got to the music channel, Fuse. A guy named Jared was announcing the next music video.

"This next artist came from a really small town by the name of Cataula, Georgia."

Hmm, Cataula. I wonder who the artist is. Probably some small town hick with an annoying accent.

"She's incredibly talented and very beautiful. We will be talking to her later. Right now, here's Izzy S. with her new single, 'It's Alright, It's OK.'"

The video started with people jumping around and a girl knocking over a lawn gnome to get a key.

You told me
there's no need
To talk it out
Cause it's too late
To proceed
And slowly
I took your words
And walked away

I gasped at the girl. She looked exactly like my sweet, innocent Bella. The girl pushed away from the window.

No looking back
I won't regret, no
I will find my way
I'm broken
But still I have to say

It's alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, Ok
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burnt down
I'm stronger now
Alright , Ok
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry

The video flashed between the girl sitting on a couch, fighting with her boyfriend, a guy entering her ex-boyfriend's house, and singing on a stage with her band.

You played me
Betrayed me
Your love was nothing but a game
Portrayed a role
You took control, I
I couldn't help but fall
So deep
But now I see things clear

The girl had started taking pictures with the guy on her ex-boyfriend's couch and another guy entering the house. (Who also wasn't her boyfriend.)

It's alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, OK
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burnt down
I'm stronger now
Alright , OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry

The Bella look-a-like started taking pictures with the guy who had just entered the house. He was wearing an untied tie with a few buttons open with the Bella look-a-like in his arms.

Don't waist you fiction tears on me
Just save them for someone in need
It's way too late
I'm closing the door

A totally different guy showed up in the ex-boyfriend's bedroom; taking pictures on the bed with the look-a-like.

It's alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, OK
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I won't return
Our bridge has burnt down
I'm stronger now
Alright , OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry

All kinds of people marched through the house into the backyard, listening to the girl sing. The video flashed with clips of the girl taking pictures with those guys. At the end, the ex-boyfriend came home to a trashed house. The girl left the pictures.

"Alice, what was the point of seeing this?" she just shushed me and pointed to the TV. The Bella look-a-like was now being interviewed by the Jared guy.

"Ok ladies and gents, this is the ever beautiful Izzy Swan!"

Wait… did he just say 'Swan?'

Izzy Swan chuckled a bit at his compliment and thanked him. "Okay, Miss Izzy how did you \get discovered?"

That was Bella! My Bella! Well, she's Izzy now. She's alive. I glanced around everyone was bug-eyed and in shock, except for Alice. She must've had a vision.

"Funny story actually. I was sitting in the food court at North Georgia Outlet Mall, waiting on a tow truck because my ancient car broke down. It's like 9 o'clock at night, the outlet mall's closing and everybody's leaving, it's one-oh-five outside, even though the sun was long gone. So I'm just sitting there, sweating, completely bored out of my mind, waiting for the tow truck. So to pass the time, I start singing 'Battlefield' and this guy comes up and says, 'You're pretty good, here's my card, give me a call.' It turns out it was Tommy Mottola of Sony Music Entertainment. You can figure out the rest."

"Wow. That's amazing. I should sing at an outlet mall in the middle of the night." That was a really lame joke, but Bella laughed anyway.

"Next question: Did your family encourage you when you wanted to pursue music."

Bella tensed visibly but answered the question anyway.

"My mother and stepdad encouraged anything I did. It didn't matter if I wanted to be a rocket scientist or a stripper, they always encouraged me. But my father… He was a bit apprehensive. Even though neither of us showed any real emotions, I knew he was afraid of me doing something drastic or becoming a wild child, if I became famous."

Jared asked what her parents were doing now. Bella's eyes began to water.

"My parents and stepdad died a while back." She chuckled humorlessly and said, "Isn't it time for a commercial?"

Just then a Colgate commercial popped up. Everyone was silent. Alice spoke up. "I can't believe Bella's alive. I wonder how her family died…"

After about 30 seconds, everyone unfroze. Then they turned to look at me.

I wonder how Edward feels about this. Are you okay, dear? – Esme

I have my little sister back. YES!!! More pranking! – Emmett

I need to apologize to Bella for being a bitch. – Rosalie

Too much happiness. I feel really guilty about what I did to Bella on her birthday. – Jasper

Alice was brimming with excitement. Bella's alive! Now I can play Barbie Bella! YAY! – Alice

Hmm… that's peculiar. How is Bella still alive? She's not a vampire and she can't possibly be human. – Carlisle

Bella wasn't human or a vampire. Then what was she? Just then the show came back on.

"OK, we're back with Izzy Swan. We have one more question before Izzy makes an announcement. So what inspires most of your songs?"

Bella smiled brightly at that question. "Well most of my songs were inspired by some of the experiences in my life. Like when my boyfriend left me and when my best friend abandoned me."

I wanted to yell at Bella that I left because I wanted to protect her.

Jared smiled sadly. "Wow that's deep stuff. Anyway, tell the viewers about your important announcement."

Bella turned towards the camera and smirked. "Two days from now, I am starting my countrywide tour. Tickets are on sell now. If you buy tickets, you might win a chance to sing onstage with me. But you must also know the lyrics to all my songs or else you're gonna look like an idiot."

"Alright, that's all the time we have for today. Remember to live, laugh, and love."

Just like that the show ended. Everyone was buzzing at how we should buy tickets to Bella concert. Alice smirked and pulled out 7 tickets and backstage passes. I get to get my love back.
