Here is the new story that I promised as my second Christmas/Yule present for all of my lovely readers. As most know Princess Lullaby has been going smoothing and right as planned. Yet, No More Happy Endings is in the process of being revised and continued at a later unknown date. My muse for PL keeps prompting me to write more, whereas my muse for NMHE is no longer around. I am trying to figure out where I was going with the story and finish it in her honor. As always, I own nothing but the posters and photo cutouts of any characters that are in this story, unless I specify that they are of my own creation. Now on with the STORY!
Bella Swan's POV~
I had the feeling all day long that something was going to happen today. At that moment I was sitting at Edward's house watching as Jasper and Emmett played Grand Theft Auto 5, when my phone began to ring. Knowing that anyone else who would call on that thing was either a sleep due to the time difference, or already being in the same house. I assumed it was probably Charlie, and he would soon be the bearer of bad , even though I didn't want to hear anything bad, I was extremely curious.
"Hey, Dad," I said, as I touched the phone's screen to answer it.
"Hey, Bells. I just wanted to tell you right away that I just got off the phone with your Aunt." He said, which left me in a stupor. As far as I know, I only have one Aunt, and nobody's heard from her since I was eleven. Charlie had been an only child, while Renee's sister lived somewhere in Great Britain.
"Aunt Jeanie?" I questioned, just wanting to assure myself that is who we were talking about.
"Yes, Jean. Anyways, she informed me that your sister is moving to Forks. She is to arrive at the airport in the morning. Now seeing as I have to work, I want you to go and meet her there. She will also be attending Forks High, so you need to take her to get registered at the school." He informed me. As soon as he mentioned Her I knew this year was to be doomed. She always found a way to ruin everything. I did something that I never would have, except She was involved.
"But, Dad! She will ruin my senior year! I can't stand to even talk to her, let alone live with and go to school with her!" I whined, sounding exactly like a 4 year-old.
"Isabella Marie Swan!" Charlie yelled, which shocked me, he never raised his tone, even when I ran away to Voltura. "You will do as I say and I won't hear another word against it, is that clear?" I didn't answer him, I just hung up my phone.
Jasper looked at me strangely, as well as Alice, Rosalie, and Emmett. Rosalie and Alice had come into the room during my 'talk' with my father.
"What's wrong?" Emmett asked. I threw my arms into the air in a surrendering motion.
"My dad just informed me that my stupid sister is coming here to live. We haven't seen each other since we were eleven. She came for the summer while I was living with Renee in Phoenix. All she did the whole summer was read really strangely titled books and brag about being excepted into a prestigious boarding school in the Scottish Highlands. She is the exact opposite of me, which makes me question if one of us was adopted. She is the type of person who believes that the world revolves around her and that she should be given everything that she wants handed to her on a silver platter." I vented my flustrations, glad that someone was willing to listen to my side of the situation.
"Why were you the same age?" Emmett was the first to get the question out.
"Because Hermione is my fraternal twin sister. She was born four minutes ahead of me." I explained, making it sound like it was an unimportant detail, even to my own ears.
"If she is your twin, then why does she live with someone other than her parents?" Alice questioned. I sighed, here comes the explaining of my creepy sister.
"I don't know the entire story, but it all starts with my Aunt and Uncle being unable to have children of their own. It wasn't so much that they were desperate to be parents, but they need a child to inherit the estate the my Uncle was given when his father died young. My uncle was what the English called 'Blue Bloods'. So they were constantly trying. Until my aunt found out that that she was never to have children due to an illness she had when she was a child, which I found in a letter to my mother when I was 12. So, that ended up putting a strain in their marriage. Soon they began trying different methods, surrogate mothers and possibly adoption. Most of the story I get is from the letters that my mother keeps in a shoebox at the bottom of her closest.
"Well, when Hermione and I were three, their were a few incidents. Soon Renee just explained away as she was seeing things, but then that day happened. Most of the stuff was minor, if I had been mean and took a toy that she had been playing with, it would fly out of my hand and into hers, if she dropped her cup while we were in our high chairs, it would fly back up to her. Well then that day happened. Mom had to go to a party for work, and we had to be watched by a babysitter. When mom came home and checked on us, I was lying in my crib, about to go to sleep, whereas Hermione was floating by the ceiling. She screamed and the babysitter came running.
"Mom ended up bribing the girl to not speak of anything. That night, while both of us were in our cribs sleeping, she packed a diaper bag full of clothes, toys, snacks and some pictures of just me and her. She wrote on the back who I was, who she was, and that she loved her. Soon, she snuck into our room, pick up Hermione and in the dead of night, left her in front of a hospital, only covered in a blanket laying against that diaper bag. The next day, the phone constantly rang, and Renee just sat there and let it. When she finally did answer it was around five at night, neither of us had eaten, and both of us were still in our pajamas. Aunt Jean was calling, and she and mom soon began to fight. Mom was religious, very religious, at the time whereas Aunt jean was an intellectual. She always tried to find an answer for everything. Well, seeing as the Safe- Haven laws hadn't yet been put into play, they tried to get ahold of both Renee and Charlie. Charlie was the only one to answer his phone, and he said at the current time he wasn't fit to raise a child, but he might be able to get ahold of someone that could. That someone turn out to be Jean. As soon as she heard what her sister did, they booked the next flight to Arizona and they weren't leaving until Hermione and possibly I was put into their custody. Well, the next year past, and the court fund them in favor to grant them custody of Hermione, but they stated that I wasn't in any danger. Two years later, Hermione was adopted and became a citizen of England legally.
"Her last name name changes and it is the biggest thing in the world. Mom comes back to life, never going back to church, but losing her depression. Whenever they came for a vacation, she was quiet, and constantly reading. She hated being around Renee, and with what happened I couldn't blame her, but she broke her everytime she did that. Then, the summer that we were eleven, she left, and never looked back." I said looking out of the window at the tree throughout the whole story, unable to face them with the stupidity that was my family. When I did turn around, everyone looked sympathetic, except Rosalie.
"How do you know that she's just not jealous of you? While you were kept, she was thrown away like trash?" Rosalie questioned. I didn't answer her, because over the years I've asked myself that same question many times, so I looked away again.
I wanted to get this out yesterday, but with us getting back home from the festivities so late, I had to put Nikki to sleep and put away everything that the both of us received for Christmas before I collapsed on my bed. Anyways, hope everyone likes it. Please Review
