Chapter One: The Truth is revealed.

Tyler Simms was the youngest of the sons of Ipswich, he was going to ascend next month and as his ascension drew nearer he had begun to have weird dreams, dreams of his childhood so it is more like memories, he was remembering a girl, about his age Isabella or Bella, they had been close, so close as were the rest of the boys with her, she seemed important to him but for the life of him he couldn't remember her, she was like a ghost of the past and he knew he would have to ask his parents about her, maybe they could tell him, maybe they remember her, maybe they would sort out his messed up mind.

As he sat at the kitchen table that night, he watched as his mother handed his father his dinner before sitting down, he took a deep breath.

"Mom, do you remember a girl named Isabella or Bella" he asked, his parents both had different reactions, his father who had been mid chew began to choke on his dinner, his mother dropped her fork and turned towards him, her eyes wide before turning to her husband.

"It's time Gerard" she said to her husband who had composed himself, nodding he stood up,

"I'll call Michael and Colin, you call Evelyn" he told her, Tyler watched confused as both his parents left the kitchen table, they left him there without an answer, but he knew it had to be big if they had to call the other families, he just wanted answers, with a sigh he began to eat his dinner in the hope that once he was finished that it would be time and they all would be there.

It took an hour and a half for all four families to be in the same room, the four boys sat on the large couch watching as their parents talked, they were whispering and hissing at one another, it was confusing because this seemed important, intensely so.

"It will take them 2 days to get here, we can get the room ready, Carlisle said that she has improved greatly and is also remembering but more than Tyler, she knows of the families and the covenant, she knows who she is and is looking forward to seeing us" Gerard said, Evelyn nodded and turned to the boys with a sigh

"It is my job to tell you this, please don't say anything until I finished, wait until everything is out in the open" she told them, they didn't say anything but nodded, Evelyn took a deep breath and turned away.

"Isabella, or Bella as she always liked to be called is Tyler's twin sister, she" she stopped when Tyler jumped up.

"What, my Twin, I don't have a twin, I'm an only child, mom, dad what is she talking about" he pleaded with his mother, he looked at her with wide eyes, she shook her head and teared up, she hid her face in her husband's chest.

"Tyler sweetheart sit down and I'll explain" Evelyn told the young teen, he sat down and looked down

"Isabella is the first daughter to be born in the covenant in 6 hundred years, we didn't know what to expect, it wasn't until she turned 12 that we knew she had the powers, but she also changed slightly, her brown eyes turned blue, ice blue so your fathers went through the book and found a prophecy that said

A daughter will be born, she will be powerful, she will meet her soul mate and bring her covenant into the immortal life, she will lead with her soul mate, they will be the most powerful coven in the world, and the other supernatural groups will look to them for guidance.

We had to put her into hiding, she was in danger, a group of Vegetarian Vampires that owed us a favour have looked after her for the past 5 years, we erased yours and her memories, now it is time to bring her back, we will give you back your memories, then you have two days to get used to it, she will arrive about this time Thursday" she told them, the three remaining eldest power yielders came forward and stood in front of the boys and together they chanted

"Le memorie portate sono scritti re, una vita di figlie non è più nascosta" (Memories taken are re written, a daughters life is no longer hidden) the memories floated through the boys minds,

Pogue

"No Christopher I will not call you Pogue, I really don't understand that stupid nickname" Pogue looked at the younger girl, she had a strict look on her, her hands on her hips, her hair flying behind her, her brown eyes glaring, he laughed

"Oh come on Bells, come on you know I don't like my name" he said, she shook her head and tapped her foot, he looked at her again and sighed

"How about Chris, come on Bells I don't want you to hate me, I don't want you to ignore me, please" he said, she nodded with a sigh

"Chris so" she said, he grinned and lifted the tiny girl up and swung her around in a circle, she giggled and hid her face in his shoulder, this was his little sister, maybe not by blood but she was everything he could ever want in a kid sister.

Reid

"No, Reid I don't want you to be my first kiss, I mean it would be disgusting, ugh you are like my brother" Bella said as she tried to walk faster, he had been badgering her about it for a week, she wanted nothing to do with it

"Bell, please, I want to show you the technique Kira showed me" he whined as she sat by the big apple tree in the back yard

"You kissed Snider, no, definitely not I mean ewe" she scrunched her nose up, Reid sat beside her with a pout.

"Please, Please, please with a cherry on top" he asked, she shook her head and hit him with the book she was reading, with a sigh she began to read and Reid went back inside to the other guys.

Tyler

"Tyler can I stay in here with you, please the thunder and lightning is frightening me" Bella whispered as she crept into her brothers bedroom, he nodded with a sigh he pulled his covers up so she could climb in beside him, he pulled her to him

"Don't worry I will protect you, you know that" he whispered, she smiled and closed her eyes; Tyler looked at his little sister and kissed her forehead.

Caleb

He watched her as she played with the stray dog that had come into the yard, she was giggling and talking to the thing and he could feel the jealousy bubble up in him, he was jealous of a dog, how sad is that.

But Bella was sweet and perfect and even though he had only began to see girls clearly he could see that she was every guys dream, at 11 she was beautiful and he couldn't wait to tell her, he wanted to marry her, he loved her.

Tyler looked up at his parents, tears in his eyes he didn't even bother to wipe them, he wanted them to see how much he hurt, and he wanted them to know he was angry; they betrayed him, took his sister from him and expect him to thank them for giving her back.

"You, you bastards, the whole lot of you, you can't just erase someone from our, no from my memory and think that you can just say 'here have her back' and think everything will be ok" he said standing up glaring, his eyes turning black

"Tyler Nathan Simms you calm down and take a breath, I'm sorry but she needed to be protected, she needed to be kept safe, once she started showing power people began to come looking for her, they came wanting her, some of them could have forced a relationship, the safest option was to put her into hiding" his mother said softly, he looked up at her, his eyes filled with tears again, this was of pain, he was hurting because he knew now he was missing a piece of him, his baby sister.

The adults left the boys to think, none of them spoke, they were all in different places remembering times with Isabella, remembering times and memories of how close they all were, shaking his head Caleb stood up,

"I can't be here right now, I have a date with Sarah" he said as he pulled on his jacket, Reid scoffed

"This is important and you decide to go out with that cheating whore, tell me I thought you were supposed to be smart, that isn't smart" he said, freezing on his way to the door Caleb spun around angrily

"You think she is cheating, you think all because you are jealous she picked me, can't you just be happy for your friend" he hissed his eyes flashing, Reid laughed

"Yeah I really want that bitch, I mean she had Abbots dick shoved up her last night but I'm the one who is in the wrong here" he said standing toe to toe with his 'brother', Caleb shoved him back

"Fuck you Reid, she has never done anything to warrant you saying this" he hissed, Reid's eyes turned black but Tyler and Pogue stepped in front of them

"Stop it, I don't want to think about this, my sister will be back in two days and I don't want to have to deal with the two of you and your inane need to fight" Tyler said with a hiss, Reid looked at Caleb with a glare and then turned to his best friend

"I'm sorry Baby Boy, I really didn't think about it, I really am sorry" he said placing his hand on his shoulder, Tyler nodded and turned to Caleb

"Go on your date" he said, and he walked upstairs, with a sigh Caleb left for the date with a heavy heart, he was messed up, the memories of Bella have stirred something inside, he was in love with her when they were younger and now he wasn't sure how to get over it, this was all new to him.

That night after he dropped Sarah at the dorms he headed home, he needed to talk to his mother and hoped she would give him some answers, she may have not been born into the covenant but she was married to his father for over twenty years, she had read the book more than once and was always the go to person when anyone was in trouble.

When he arrived at home she was sitting in the living room of their mansion, she had three different books in front of her and a glass of wine, and she was waiting for him, so he sat opposite of her and waited.

"You and Bella always had a special bond, it was odd and I was frightened of it, your father was too addicted to tell me what was happening, and I was so scared, I thought I was going to lose you, I was the one who decided to hide Bella away, they trusted me to do what was best for their daughter, but Caleb I didn't do it for her, I did it for you, you would have died for her and you were so young, I couldn't let that happen" she said as looked pleadingly at her son who gaped at her

"Mom, god you messed up their lives, you really fucked up, so what if Isabella is my soul mate, yes I get that is what your pointing to, you denied me and her, her mostly, she was taken from her family from her twin, you might have seriously messed her up" he spat, standing up

"Caleb I did it for you, you wouldn't have met Sarah, well you might have but you two wouldn't be together, you love her, you really love her Bella will mess that up, she will ruin it, I wanted you to have a choice, not to be destined to marry Isabella Simms, she had this hold over you" she pleaded, cried nearly but her son laughed harshly

"Sarah, yeah she is so fucking perfect, so perfect that she has been cheating on me, yea your perfect angel Sarah has been fucking Aaron Abbot, I have known for ages but I really didn't want to admit it, she did her best to hide it but she just isn't that good" he hissed, his mother began to cry but he really didn't care, he looked at the books

"What are they" he asked, she sighed

"Photo Albums, my Diary and Bella's Diary, I found it when they packed her bags" she said, he glared at his mother and took the books and went upstairs.

He sat on his bed and looked at the books, he really didn't think he should read them but he wanted to know what Bella thought, what Bella wanted, he picked up the purple diary and sighed and opened it in the middle,

1

Tyler and the guys are hiding something from me, something big, they don't even hang around me much anymore, not since Caleb's birthday, we never do anything as a group anymore, Chris still talks to me but we don't spend much time together, Caleb is ignoring me which hurts really bad, Daddy said it's because I'm a girl and their boys, that its only normal for us to grow apart, but that really doesn't help.

But Tyler told me that I will see, that I was too young to understand which is stupid because he is only 10 minutes older than me, am I to wait ten minutes for him to tell me,

Reid was at me again to kiss him, he wants to be my first kiss but I really don't want anyone but Caleb to be my first at anything, my first and last everything, well that's what I want but Caleb wouldn't like me like that, I mean there is nothing special about me, Caleb though, he his perfect and sweet and smart, I can do my school work with him, I can laugh with him, I can cry with him.

2

Today is the worst day of my life, Caleb told me that he didn't want to be my friend anymore, he told me I am too childish and too girly and that I annoy him, I tried not to let him see me cry but it was hard, Mommy told me that Caleb would get over it, that he is only getting used to something, what she wouldn't tell me, she told me not to take it personally that when I get older I will understand.

That was the last entry, he remembered telling her that they couldn't be friends, he remembers telling her that they couldn't be friends but he doesn't really know why he did, he wouldn't have been annoyed by her, he was in love with her, with a sigh he picked up his mother's diary and looked for the date that matched Bella's diary

I had to do it, she has a hold on him, he would do anything for her, he has done anything for her, that is why I made William compel him to break ties with her, I can't deal with my son growing up and not living a life because of that little harlot, she won't remember soon either, I convinced Gerard and Emilia to send her away until she ascends, that gives my son 5 or 6 years until he has to deal with it again.

Shaking his head he couldn't believe his mother could do anything like that, she had been cold while he was growing up but he never thought she could be so heartless, pulling out the photo album he began to look through it, they were all of him and Bella, from when they were babies up until they were about 10 or 11 he wasn't sure, but they both always had a hold on the other, whether it was holding hands, linking arms, hugging each other, but they also looked so happy and so content, with a sigh he shook his head and closed the album, he was with Sarah now, and no matter if she was cheating he hasn't actually seen it, until he does he is with her and even Bella wouldn't mess that up for him.

The two days went quickly, Tyler stayed with his parents getting Bella's room ready, it was hard because they weren't sure she liked the same things she did when she was younger, Tyler was withdrawn from everyone, it was almost like he was in a depressive state, his parents couldn't get him to talk to him, he wasn't answering the phone when the guys would call and he would eat his dinner in his room, he was hurting and he had no one to talk to, his parents shouldn't have taken his sister and now she was coming home he was going to make sure that she would never leave him again, he would make sure that his parents wouldn't even think about it because they would lose him too.

The morning that Bella was to arrive, everyone converged at the Simms place for a barbeque, it was something they all did when they were celebrating something, Everyone was tense, they were barely talking to each other, Tyler smiled when Reid came in with a bunch of roses,

"What, I gotta make a good impression because the last ones she had of me weren't the best, I mean she always looked as if she wanted to kill me" he said as he lay them on the table

"That's because you were always trying to be her first kiss, you know she was keeping that for Caleb" Pogue said as he shook his head, they all laughed, they didn't notice their parents watching them, but when Caleb looked up and glared at his mother, they knew something was up.

"Evelyn whats wrong" Sandra Parry asked,

"I told him I was the one to advise for Bella to be sent away, he confronted me on his memories and I told him, I'm sorry but I not only sent her away to keep her safe, my main reason was to keep her from Caleb, their relationship scared me" she said,

"It scared all of us Evie but there was nothing we could do about it, its destined and fated, I'm sure William told you that" Steven Garwin told her, she shook her head

"He was lost by then, he had been using too much, he forgot he had a son, he forgot he was married it was all about the power" she sighed, Gerard placed his hand on her shoulder

"It will be alright, once she is back and everything goes back to normal then we will be just fine, she will ascend and we all will be immortal, I mean living forever, no more fear of the powers" he grinned, showing his dimples.

"I just really wish that William was alive to see this" she whispered, Emilia took her in her arms and let her friend cry, she would never understand the pain of loosing her husband, but she had lost her daughter for six years and that pain is almost as bad, just she knew she was getting her daughter back.

"Dad, you told us that she was with Vegatarian Vampires, could you tell us about them before they come" Tyler asked, this was the first time he had spoken to his parents since he found out about Bella, Gerard smiled at his son and nodded.

"The head of the coven is Carlisle Cullen he is over 600 years old, his father was a clergyman in England who hunted Vampires, one night Carlisle was on the hunt and got bitten, he hid in the woods, he has never tasted human blood, though he has turned 4 people, first was his now son Edward, who was 17 and was dying of the Spanish Influenza in Chicago 1916, his parents had already succumbed to the disease, next was his wife Esme, she had tried to kill herself after her new born son died, Carlisle had met her once when she was 16 and knew she was his mate, when she arrived in the hospital she was near death so he turned her, then came Rosalie Hale, she was raped and brutally beaten by her fiancé and a group of his friends as she returned from visiting her friend in 1932, finally was Emmett, he was attacked by a bear in 1935, Rosalie came across him while hunting, she knew he was her mate, she ran one hundred miles with him in her arms so she could get Carlisle to turn him, those are the ones he turned, but three more joined there coven, Alice and Jasper were first they are mates, Jasper was made during the civil war, he was a major during the vampire wars, Alice was made in 1936, she was placed in a mental institution when she was 17 because she had visions of the future, she was turned by a doctor who worked there, she and Jasper met in 1941 in a diner, lastly is Edwards mate, Tanya Denali, she is over 1000 years old, Russian, she and her biological sisters were turned by their mother after she was turned by a rogue Vampire, her sisters are in a Coven in Denali" he told them, Tyler nodded

"And Bella was safe with them, right" he asked, his mother smiled

"Yes Baby, she was safe with them safer than she would have been here, four different groups came looking for her, one was the Vampire royalty the Volturi, they came in hopes of turning her, which they could do so before she turned 18, she would have been a very powerful vampire and would have been forced to mate with one of the kings" she told him, he nodded with a sigh

"I'm sorry I have been a jerk lately, its just I understand you had to put her into hiding, but I have been away from her, my twin the other half of me, I just wish we could have kept our memories" he said, his mother hugged him and pressed a kiss on his cheek

"You have nothing to be sorry about baby, she is your sister and my baby, I got to keep my memories, I should have left you keep yours, but she's coming home, should be here in about twenty minutes and then we can make new memories, we will forget she was gone and make sure she never goes anywhere again" she told him, he smiled and hugged her tighter, the hug was soon joined by Gerard who engulfed his wife and son in his arms, soon their hugs would be complete, they would have Bella and their family would be whole.

They sat around waiting for the arrival of the Cullen's and Bella, the sounds of cars pulling up and stopping in front of the house had the parents go out front, the guys were told to wait until they all came back, it was almost torture for Tyler whose legs were bouncing with excitement, they looked up when the sliding doors opened, and they were all struck dumb.
