Izzy's return. -SEQUEL TO BRING BACK BELLA.

Please bare with me whilst I get Bella's character sorted. The next chapter will be longer, this is just a introduction. Thank you.

Summary: Bella has been reunited with Edward and her friends in the twenty-first century. But now they've just received a message from the future explaining that they can't return to the year 2817, their own time. And suddenly, a mysterious girl appears, claiming to be Izzy.

Chapter one. Bella's Return.

I grew up with five friends. They were always there for me. We did everything together.

The twenty-ninth century was a dangerous one. You didn't know whom to trust and whom not to. One minute, your closest friend was one your side, the next they would be after your blood. My parents were important people and for that, they paid with their lives.

The three people in their company who were supposed to be their friends betrayed them and murdered them. Victoria, James and Laurent Nomad. All siblings. And now they were after me. They had picked out three more recruits to come after me. Trained individuals, each with their own special gifts to kill me.

So I did something against my will. I ran away. I was told to run and hide, to save myself until the three culprits would be caught.

I was sent back in time, to hide in the twenty-first century. To blend in until the Nomads would be apprehended and I would be safe to return home.

I had to leave my five friends. My two sisters, my two brothers and my one true love.

I was waiting patiently. I knew what had happened now. At first I thought I was dead. My Jewlzo time pod was shaking viciously and going out of control, then everything around me was black.

It was like that for a while; I was just stuck in this black state. But then suddenly I was in my body again and I saw my friends.

There was only one problem. I was in my body, but I wasn't controlling it.

Apparently another part of me was controlling my body. A figment of my imagination. It was the oddest sensation to be in my body but not control it. It felt like I was paralysed.

But then I returned to the darkness. And when I did, I knew that there was hope. That I wasn't dead and that my friends would bring me back.

I hoped on it so much. So I waited and waited. Time did pass when I was in the black darkness but I didn't grow impatient. Instead, I grew strong as I waited for my friends.

--

There was a change and I knew immediately that it was time. Something had grabbed me and was pulling on. Hard.

Suddenly I felt myself shift. My heart was thrashing at such a speed I didn't know was possible. My fingers twitched and it gave me so much hope. The hope that I had been living on for the past weeks and months.

I felt myself flying. Like a rope was attached around my chest and was pulling me.

At such a speed, I was being pulled out of hell.

My hands twitched again.

With all I could, although there was nothing, I grasped the rope and held on tight. My mind was racing just as fast and hard as my heart and my whole body was being reactivated. And it felt good. I was finally emerging and it was the best feeling to be alive once more. I opened my eyes slowly.

"…Did it work?"

"Bella?"

"Izzy or Bella?"

"Emmett, get out of my way! I wanna see her."

"Bella?"

There was a light that hit my face, making my eyes automatically squint. I was certain that something was holding on to my right hand and one to my left. I was in a sitting position. My neck was sore.

I turned to my left to assess my location.

I could smell cinnamon, hyacinth, pear, vanilla, leather, apple, moss, chocolate and coffee…

I could hear four deep breaths breathing in, one breathing out and one person holding their breath.

Then someone squeezed my left hand.

My immediate reaction was to go to self-defence mode that I was taught to. I ripped myself away from the two hands that held on to me. I jumped off the sofa and found myself crouch behind a familiar Jewlzo Time Pod. It was my time pod.

At first, I held my defensive pose for a couple of seconds before I suddenly realised the scene in front of me. Edward Masen was seated on a large brown leather sofa on my right of the room we were in. Also on the sofa sat Alice Brandon. In the middle of the room stood Jasper Whitlock holding a Tracking Device in his hands.

On the left of the room, lay Rosalie Hale and sat Emmett McCarthy. Edward, Alice and Jasper had cautious faces on. They were not armed. Emmett and Rosalie were smiling. Rosalie looked weak. She was the easiest target out of all five of them.

Before I could stop myself, I had begun planning ways to disarm and neutralize the five people in front of me. Until he spoke.

"Bella?"

That was when I broke away from the defensive mode. Ever since I was little, I was trained to defend my back, assess my position then think. But now…

His face looked radiant. His hair was still in it's messy sticking up form. A lock of it was dangling dangerously on his forehead. His eyes were bright and green, just as I had remembered them. Those eyes helped me wait patiently in the dark.

"Edward", I gasped out, breathing finally. He stood up immediately, too quickly, and flitted to my side, grabbing me.

I flung my arms around Edward's neck, pulling him close and holding on tight. It had been too long. I felt the shape of his body against mine as our embrace lasted what felt like forever.

--

The wave of happiness that was enveloped around me made me feel like I was in a dream.

Alice, short and bouncy as always, hugged me tightly blabbering at top speed, oblivious to the fact that I was barely listening to her. She quickly explained that we were still in the twenty-first century and now on an island called Mauritius or something. There was no immediate danger in the area because Kenzo, Darcy and Marcus had been caught a sent back to a Borstal Imprisonment Centre. Shame, I had been waiting to get a rematch with Darcy for a while, ever since she took out her anger on poor Izzy.

I thanked Jasper over and over again for his brilliant mind, for not giving up on me and for helping to bring me back. Emmett gave me a big bear hug, which could've probably crushed one of my ribs. Then I went to Rosalie.

"What's wrong?" I whispered, my happiness suddenly fading away as I watched her frail state. She was sitting up on the sofa now, her skin paler than I had ever seen. Almost a light greenish colour. Her face was shallow and grim. Her hair was plain and lifeless too. There was a fading mark on the side of her neck.

"You don't remember any of Izzy's memories?" asked Jasper. I shook my head at him.

"Only mine", I said, "but I'm supposed to, aren't I? I mean…we're the same person. She's in my head somewhere."

"Yes. She is", said Edward nodding, "she's still alive. I'm sure. She's still here."

Sounded like he was trying to convince himself.

"What happened?" I asked again, turning back to Rose. She smiled faintly.

"Saved your sorry arse and ended up getting shot", she laughed, half coughing. I cringed at her state.

Furiously, I turned to Jasper.

"Fix her", I commanded, "she's just been shot. Just regenerate that bit of her skin. Use the healing mechanism, the Jewlzo Aid Kit. The bullet's out, right?"

"Yes, I got it out myself", answered Alice, nodding, "and we have fixed her, Bella."

"Then why does she…I mean, she doesn't…" I trailed off not knowing what to say without hurting Rosalie's feelings.

"She lost a lot of blood", explained Jasper, sensing where I was going with this, "when she eats and regains the energy, she'll be fine."

"Should we go to a hospital?" I asked him, "She needs blood, give it to her."

"That's not wise", Edward cut in quickly, "and they have odd chemicals in their blood here."

I turned to face Rosalie again. I sat myself next to her. Rosalie was more than a best friend to me. She was like a sister.

"I've miss you", I whispered to her. As I watched her, it suddenly reminded me of something that I shouldn't be thinking of at that moment. A dying person. Frail, weak and looking carcass.

"Bella…I've miss you too."

Reviews would really help.

Tell me if you have any suggestions or ideas of how Bella, Izzy and Edward's relationships with one another should be.

Thank you for reading.
