This is my first Twilight fanfic, I hope it gets some good reviews. Anyway, it starts off twenty years after Edward left Bella in the woods. I will put up the second chapter as soon as I get three reviews. There are going to be quite a few new characters in this story and I dont plan on having Bella forgive Edward so darn easily as Ive read in other fanfics. Also she is not some all powerful being as Ive also read in others. She only has her mind shield... thing... o.O and is still learning to extend it past a five foot radius. I hope I can get their characters right to avoid a lot of OOCnes. If you have any suggestions please PM me or leave the idea in a review, of course I will give credit to those whose ideas I use. Oh and I will attempt to make as many references to the first book and beginning of the second as possible to keep to the book timline. If an event would happen regardless of how Ive changed the story then I am going to try my best to fit it in there. Well enjoy (I hope) ^_^

I own nothing of Twilight, I do however own the new characters and the idea of how to use them otherwise I own nothing.


Things hadn't changed much in Forks except that all of Bella's friends were twenty years older and even taking their own children to school this morning. Some of them who didn't have children were hurrying on to work or to run errands for the day. Most of them were in their late thirties and had forgotten about Bella who twenty years earlier had disappeared the day her boyfriend Edward Cullen had broken up with her and announced his family's choice to move away from Forks. Her father, Charlie Swan had searched for her high and low but found nothing. He now was retired spending his days with his best friend Billy Black fishing or watching games at either ones home.

Bella was now living in Las Vegas. Taking a break from the normal cloudy atmosphere she had to be in. The great thing about Vegas was that there was absolutely nothing suspicious about only coming out at night and sleeping during the day, especially when you worked on the famous Vegas Strip. Since she didn't have the power her old best friend Alice Cullen did of seeing the future Bella had to work to not raise suspicion. Upside was she didn't need to eat, among other things as normal humans did. Another upside was that she wasn't alone. No she hadn't gotten herself a boyfriend or anything, in fact her new 'sibling' was a girl.

"Sakura" Bella knocked on her 'sisters' door.

The door swung open revealing a petite pale girl. Her black straight hair reached her waist and her honey colored eyes were perfectly placed on her heart shaped face. "I've got the tickets to Forks already" a smile graced her lips.

With a sigh Bella shook her head, "I don't see why you want to go back there"

"Don't worry we wont run into them" Sakura assured.

"Now your psychic too?" asked Bella a bit irritated.

With a chuckle Sakura sat on her bed letting Bella into the room. "No but what are the chances of running into them when its only been twenty years? Chances are your old friends would recognize them if they're seen in town"

"They'd recognize me too" Bella didn't want to go back to Forks. Even if the Cullens weren't there anymore.

"But they've only known you as the human Bella. You're a vampire now" Sakura smiled triumphantly. "Plus you'd get to see your father"

Bella flinched. Seeing her father would mean everything to her but how exactly would she explain her absence for the past twenty years and the fact that she hasn't changed much physically? "I cant"

Sakura rolled her eyes, "Come on Bella please. I know you want to go. Don't you want to see everyone? Even if it is from afar?"

"Well…"

Seeing that she was winning the argument she continued, "and were only going to be there for the weekend"

"Only two days and two nights" Bella hated that Sakura was winning, and even more that she was right. Seeing Charlie from afar would be better than nothing. Even if she couldn't speak to him or let him know she was there she could at least see that he was doing alright instead of only imagining the worst possible scenario for him after she'd left.


Few hours later (Friday night)

The two vampire sisters had gotten off of the plane and had rented a car for the visit. On the drive down to Forks Bella felt herself become anxious at going back to where she had spent her last human year. Sakura trying to be oblivious of Bella's mood drove to a small hotel where they would be 'sleeping.' After checking in and going up to their room Bella felt as if she should go see her dad now since it was night and he would be sleeping. No one would notice her slip inside the house she once inhabited and she could be close to him even if he wasn't fully conscious about it.

"Sakura is it…" Bella started but stopped when Sakura put her hand up palm facing Bella in a motion to stop.

"Just go. I'm going to catch something to eat. Just be careful, I hear there are werewolves out here"

With a smile knowing Sakura wasn't one for physical affection Bella headed out into the night. The would have been dangerous streets to her human self were now in the easiest sense, safe and boring to her vampire self. It didn't take her long to reach the Swan residence. Slipping inside avoiding the porch light that was on she smelled the familiar scent of her father. He was upstairs in his room in a sound sleep snoring away. Bella appeared by his bedside smiling at him. She brushed back a few strands of graying hair of his to see his face clearly. He looked different with his gray hair and more wrinkles adorning his face.

"Renee… she's home" he mumbled in his sleep.

Bella listened to the mumbles before exiting the room. She didn't have to be a mind reader or something of the sort to know he was dreaming of the day she would go home to him. Guilt sprang up inside of her easily because of that. Knowing she would never go back to him. At least not to his knowledge. Silently walking to her old room she saw that it was just as she had left it. A thin layer of dust covered most of her things making her think that Charlie hadn't been in there for a while. Her computer and bed were just as they had been back then. The same purple blankets she'd adapted to when she had first come to live with her dad, the same wheezing computer, the same red journal… wait…

'Red journal?' she went over to pick up the small book but before her fingers could touch it she heard Charlie getting up from his bed. Hiding behind the open door she watched him shuffle awkwardly into her room and look around. "It felt so real…"

He turned on the light as if waiting to see Bella sleeping on her bed. The dust irritated Bella when he had shuffled in making her hold her breath. Charlie scratched his head before letting his shoulders slump and turning off the light. He stopped at the door, "just another dream" he sighed sadly.

At that moment Bella wanted to more than to reach out to her father who wasn't even at an arms length away from her. She wanted to comfort him and tell him she would come back. It took a lot of her restraint to keep quiet and let him crawl into his bed to try and sleep. Once he was snoring again Bella jumped out of her bedroom window landing softly on the ground below. After seeing her father that way she didn't even want to see the rest of the house. Not feeling like going to face her sister just yet Bella made herself go to the one place where she had so many memories but no chance of ever fitting in, even as a fellow vampire.

The Cullen home was empty just as she expected. No one had been there in years and the flowers and weeds were taking back their land. Peeking inside she saw Edward's piano covered in a white cloth. "Why would they leave it here?" she mused.

Not wanting to step inside the empty house she headed back to where her sister would be waiting in the hotel room. When Bella stepped inside the room she was surprised to see her sister wiping blood off of her chin.

"Rough night?" Bella leaned against the wall facing her sister.

"It seems the rumors are true about wolf like creatures here in Forks" Sakura frowned, "I almost had a nasty run in with them by the reservation."

Bella sighed, 'if its not one monster here in Forks its another' Sakura looked at her sister curiously but said nothing. Both females decided to watch a movie on the hotels television. Good thing it had cable or else the task of watching tv would be even more unappealing to them. At three in the morning Sakura sighed, "This is SO boring"

"I told you Forks doesn't have much to offer" Bella huffed.

"Yes but that was what, few days after we first met?" Sakura frowned recalling meeting Bella in the woods. It was a few hours after Edward had left her there broken on the forest floor.

FLASHBACK

Bella stared at nothing in particular leaving her with a dazed look. In her mind she was trying to convince herself that it made sense. That someone as godly and perfect as Edward Cullen, even the name stung her, could never fall for someone plain and boring like her. That of course the Cullen family would not want someone as clumsy and fragile as her as their daughter and sister. Bella felt as if a hole had been ripped in her chest making it hard to breath or ignore. She was only semi aware of the fact that it was dark, cold and her current position of the fetal position was making it worse. Bella had heard someone calling out her name, someone who she did not recognize. Lights cut through the vegetation around her reaching her face slightly as her name seemed louder in her ears. Even being out of it she knew it wasn't Charlie calling her name. It was someone younger and the voice sounded smoother, deeper to her ears.

"Bella!" it called out again.

She thought about responding, getting the feeling that she should. Trying to move her neck in the direction of the calling she realized it sounded like more than one voice. Gathering as much air as she could she wondered if they would be able to hear her if she called out.

Sakura had been watching for hours now contemplating helping the broken girl below her. So many things were considered in the possible helping including losing control and killing the girl. Of course Bella wasn't in any real danger, if the vampire that had left her had really been the last to leave then there would be nothing more dangerous than she right? Sakura decided she would wait until the team of people outside the forest would find the girl. At least this way Sakura would know the girl was safe with her own kind. Yes this had been her choice until a sickly scent had reached her. It was like nothing she'd ever smelled before and it was rather disgusting to her senses. A large animal was heading for the girl on the floor sniffing the air searching for something. Without a second thought Sakura jumped down from her seat in the tree to pick Bella up and run as fast as her inhuman abilities allowed her to. A growl was heard behind her but of course Sakura only sped up without so much as a glance back.

FLASHBACK OVER

"It took you three days to stop mumbling about them and actually try to listen to what I was saying" Sakura frowned. "Then months to seem less dead"

Bella avoided her sisters gaze focusing it on the patterns on the beds. Sakura sighed again, "so are you going to go see your father later today?"

"Yeah" Bella seemed a bit lost in thought.

"Am I allowed to come with?"

"Of course" Bella smiled.

Few hours later when humans were actually waking up the two sisters got ready to go see Bella's dad. Sakura wore a black winter coat over a thin white hooded shirt. Her dark blue skinny jeans were tucked into short boots. Bella wore the same only with different colors. She had on black skinny jeans tucked into dark gray boots, a white shirt and a navy blue coat with white lining. Going over to her dads house Bella realized that her dad wasn't home. The taxi had dropped them off right in front of the Swan residence and Bella didn't need to knock to confirm that Charlie wasn't home. His scent alone was proof enough that he'd left about an hour ago with someone.

"Do you want to follow the scent?" Sakura suggested.

"I didn't come here to stare at an empty house" Bella replied heading in the direction her fathers scent led.

What would have been a fifteen minute drive was a three minute run now. Bella didn't have to have altered senses to know she was now on the Quileute reservation. 'No doubt Charlie's with Billy' Billy, the name sent a whole new wave of memories for Bella.

The day Billy had shown up to her fathers house unexpectedly to watch a game hinting at knowing that Bella was with Edward then. She remembered sitting through the game with them to make sure Billy wouldn't say a word to Charlie about Edward (Twilight though I forgot what page .). Now that name made her un-beating heart ache unexpectedly. Bella had been sure she felt nothing more for… him. And lest we forget the 'subtle' warning he had given her in her fathers kitchen about the Cullens.

"Bella?" Sakura was starting to think that maybe coming here wasn't such a good idea for her sister. She'd never seen Bella so spacey. Maybe bored or uninterested but never like this.

"Hm?" Bella and her sister stood in front of Billy's house.

"Nothing…" Sakura saw the way Bella looked at the small house. Bella looked as if she wished she could walk in and tell everyone she was there.

A loud growl was heard behind them. Both turned to see what it was and were to say the least shocked to see four giant wolves baring their teeth at them. Sakura crouched in front of Bella defensively ready to attack if needed while Bella was still in shock at seeing wolves the size of a horse before her. One of the wolves, the obvious leader of the pack stepped forward slowly still baring his teeth menacingly at them.

"Bella… you need to run" Sakura spoke low enough hoping the wolves wouldn't understand.

One of the other wolves, a russet colored one whined and stepped forward. The leader looked back and growled a response making the russet wolf stop in his tracks and whine. Bella knew there was something familiar about wolves in Forks. Someone had told her something about them when she was human but she couldn't remember who or when. She searched through her human memories but it was like looking through a blurred camera lens. Even the voices seemed off in her mind.

"Bella" Sakura whispered more urgently. "Please" her tone was desperate now.

Bella shook her head focusing on the russet wolf who hadn't taken its eyes off her, "I wont leave you"

"Now is not the time for heroics" she scoffed starting to calculate which wolf she should take down first and wondering if they were good fighters. Her instincts told her to avoid their teeth at all costs.

"Then don't tell me to leave" she countered crouching next to her sister.

Sakura frowned, "If I would have wanted you to die then I would have left you a human in the forest twenty years ago for those animals to eat you"

The leader of the wolves stared at Bella while the russet wolf whined. The wolves retreated into the woods for a minute before coming out as boys. They each wore only a pair of black pants and had their hair cropped up. They came out closing the distance between them and the sisters easily with their long legs. The first to speak was the leader, "Are you Isabella?"

Bella stood straight shocked at the familiar name, "How…"

"Bella do you know them?" Sakura still crouched in case of a surprise attack.

Bella tried to search through her human memories but nothing came up of knowing four boys who transformed into wolves. She was so sure in fact she replied, "No"

"Bella" one of the boys behind the leader spoke. "Its me… Jacob… Jacob Black"

Bella blinked a few times unbelieving. This person who claimed to be her old friend Jacob was an exact replica of him. But it had been twenty years! 'How could he still look the same if not just a bit older?' Bella shook her head, "Your not Jacob"

"I don't age Bella." he explained knowingly. "I've been stuck at this age for years."

"No, my friend wasn't a… dog" she muttered.

"I resent that" he acted hurt. "Okay how would I know that you're here to see your dad Charlie? don't you remember the truck my dad sold to your dad for you? Or how about the walk on the beach we had when I told you about the Cullens?"

The name lashed out at her. If she were human she was sure she'd be hyperventilating by now. Good thing her perfect body would not betray her in such a way. Instead she stood there staring at Jacob for the longest time. Sakura was tired of waiting and shifted closer to Bella, "Look Bella if you don't know them then lets go. I don't want to be responsible for killing four wolves"

One of the other boys behind the leader scoffed, "Who said you'd be able to kill us leech?"

Sakura's eyes narrowed on the wolf boy, "I've killed bigger than you mutt"

"Sounds like a challenge" the wolf boy replied.

"Paul" the leader snapped.

"Bella…" Jacob stepped forward extending his arms in a sign of no threat.

"Sakura lets go" Bella stepped back lightly.

"No Bella please…. Its really me" Jacob frowned.

"I want to leave" Bella pulled her sister back slowly in retreat.

"You can talk to Charlie" the leader voiced making Bella pause. "He now believes in our stories. He knows about us Bella"

Sakura looked at Bella's torn expression getting angry at the pain her sister was experiencing due to the leaders words. With a snarl she snapped, "How dare you use that against her?"

"I'm not using anything against her" he defended.

"I'm going to rip your throat out dog" Sakura was about to launch herself at him when they all heard the door of the small wooden house creak open and someone shuffle out.

"Bella?" Charlie said unbelieving.

Bella's eyes widened before she turned in his direction, "Charlie…"
