It's been forty years since that day at the hospital. The whole ordeal really did work out in the end. I was let out of the hospital a week later and was sent to live with the Cullens for a few weeks until all of my ribs were healed. My dad still had to work and since I couldn't go to school I was sent there. I did everything with Esme and read more books than Jessica Stanley and Mike Newton will read in their entire life.

A few weeks into this I was sent home and back to school. It was sad going back to my home after I was so used to living with the Cullens, but Edward still came ever night and when Edward had to hunt Alice would come and stay with me. I think that she had too much fun while I was asleep, because I always woke up with my nails a different color and with my hair styled perfectly. School, was intimidating. I mean it wasn't too hard to get around once I figured out how to properly use my crutches but the stares and whispers started to get to me. Mike Newton found the need to tell me every time I saw him that the "thing with that big Indian kid" cancelled our trip to the movies and that we could do it now that I was out of the hospital. I swear, I'm kidnapped and nearly beaten to death and the boy's first words with me are him asking me on a date. Jessica Stanley was constantly digging into me. It was as though she was writing a book about the kidnapping. Lauren Mallory told the whole school that Jacob never kidnapped me. According to her, if I remember correctly, I whored out to Jacob and then got pregnant so I went back to Edward, because of the money of course, and he thinks it's his and that's why we're getting married. She ended up going to graduation with a broken nose. The day she got it was a day that I remember well.

Flashback

"I mean she's such a slut and she's convinced this entire town that she's like a victim." Lauren said loud enough for me to hear. We were all sitting at the same table and she was "whispering" about me. My hands balled up at my sides and I wanted so much to hit her. My wrist was still broken and I couldn't really move without my crutches, so any damage I could cause would only be to me.

"Mind if I join in your conversation?" Rosalie asked in her stern bitch voice. She'd been an ice-queen lately to Lauren because I could easily tell people that Rosalie was my sister now. She was like my older sister whereas Alice was like my twin. Your older sister will always be there for you and to give you advice whereas your twin is like your best friend.

"Look Bella, we all know that you're lying so why can't we drop this. We know what you did and I think everyone here would respect you more if you just come clean." Lauren said to me as easily as if she was explaining 2 + 2 = 4

"Lauren I'm not lying. Alright, if you're telling the truth then how did I end up like this?" I said gesturing toward my body.

"You like it rough and I'm sure Jake was strong enough to give it to you." I wanted to hit her so badly and the Cullens looked like they were about to jump across the table and attack her. Edward was about to talk when all of a sudden Lauren was sprawled across the floor with blood pouring from her nose.

"Shut up Lauren! All you've done since she got back is gossip about how she was being a slut for that….that monster! You weren't even glad that she was home! Don't you dare call her a slut! If you want to see a whore than look in the mirror you stupid plastic bitch!" Angela was shouting. She had punched Lauren in the nose and was now holding her hand.

End Flashback

Angela was the best human friend I could've asked for. In the weeks after I had gotten out of the hospital Angela would come over almost every day and review with me what I had missed at school. She was also the only human that never asked me about the whole "being kidnapped" thing. It was like she knew it would be bad to talk about so she acted like it never happened and waited for me to bring it up. Angela is now my sister 40 years later. One year after turning into a vampire we had a trip to Seattle.

Flashback

"Come on guys just this one really cute place I know." Alice pleaded as we all followed behind her on the streets of Seattle. We all groaned but knew not to voice our protests. Alice doesn't fight losing battles therefore she's already seen us there.

We had just left the "cutest place ever" when we heard screaming from a few blocks over. The screaming was definitely female. Rosalie and I shared one look when we started running for the origin of the scream. We were running as human speed as we could. However, we looked like human track stars at how fast we were running. To the outside world we looked like we were flying. But, to those of us that lived in the bodies we felt as though we were in a Porsche driving to save someone and forced to go at 10 mph. We made it to the alley in under a minute. What I saw was horrifying. Ben and Angela were being attacked by a vampire. The vampire was laughing as they screamed for help and was about to lunge in for the kill. No way in hell that was happening. Angela's eyes caught mine even as she cried she somehow knew it was me.

"Bella run!" She yelled to me. So, obviously she didn't want me to be attacked too.

"Gladly" I said back before racing forward and tackling the vampire that was threatening my friends' lives. Soon I felt a pair of arms pull me off of the vampire and I looked back to see topaz eyes and bronze hair. I looked down and noted that Jasper and Emmett had taken care of our new friend.

So, I walked back over to where Angela and Ben were and soon noted that they were still screaming. Did they think that I would hurt them too? Then again it is that natural human response.

"I won't hurt you Gelly" I promised holding out my hand to her. I was hoping that the nickname I had given her during all of our tutoring sessions would make her realize that it's still me. However, she continued to scream.

"Please put it out!" She screamed

"Please!" Ben pleaded with her.

No! I knew that irrational begging. My eyes raked Angela's body and sure enough there was a bite mark on the inside of her upper arm. That vampire was a freak. Who bites humans anywhere but their veins?

"Guys! They were bitten!" I shouted to them desperate for help.

In a flash three vampires were by my side looking over at Angela and Ben to see if what I was saying was true.

"What do we do?" I asked hoping that one of them could magically give the two their lives back

"It's too late to suck out the venom love. They're going to have to make the change." He said

"By this time next week we will have two more Cullens." Alice announced proudly but I could hear the undertone of sadness at the idea of their lives taken away at such a young age. I felt miserable about what they were going through. This wasn't fair to them. I hope they don't hate us for letting them make the change.

End Flashback

Angela and Ben had made great additions to the Cullen family. Ben had no real power, but he loved to learn and was quickly spending as much time in the library as I was. Angela on the other hand did have a power. She could make people forget things. It wasn't extremely powerful so she has to touch you and you could really only be made to forget the last two mins of your life. It may not have been extremely powerful, but when you're a vampire living among humans that gift becomes extremely helpful.

Angela and Ben liked being vampires. I expected them to be angry, but instead Ben thanked us for saving their lives. Angela pounced on me and said that she was so glad to see me again. I did feel bad about that though. Jasper witnessed the pounce and nearly attacked Angela until Alice stood in front of both of us.

Another great thing about being a vampire is my perfect family. I have brothers and sisters, awesome parents, a loving husband, and a beautiful daughter. Renesmee joined the world the day I was changed. She is now forty years old but she looks like she's seventeen. Lucky for her she found one of the greatest boys I've ever met who will live forever. About twenty five years ago we took a trip back to Forks. It was Charlie's funeral and I felt the need to be there. All of the Cullens stayed in the woods out of sight while the funeral took place. That night the wolves asked to have a meeting with us. They were under the impression that we were staying and worried that we would reveal the secret. It was nice to know that they held no hatred towards us so we happily went. We brought Renesmee with us. There was the usual greeting and each dog had to smell both me and Renesmee because of the fact that they didn't have our scent, well not my vampire scent at least. When one of the dogs went to sniff Renesmee they locked eyes and the dog stopped sniffing. For while they just stared at each other like we weren't even here. I knew what it was, I could still remember clearly the day Jacob told me about imprinting.

The wolf Renesmee married was the beta to Sam, but handed down the position to come with us. That wolf's name was Seth Clearwater.

They really were a great couple and Seth was a great guy so I had no problems. Edward had a few problems, but I thought it was cutes seeing father and daughter bickering about getting married when they both look as though they're seventeen.

Everything worked out for me. I can still remember clearly the day that Edward apologized to me about getting kidnapped. At the time I told him that it was no one's fault. After he had left everyone told me that they were so sorry I was kidnapped and that they wish that they could change it. I really wished that Jacob was still my Jacob at the time, but now I don't.

Things happen for a reason, I believe that more than most. I think that to have a happy ending there has to be trouble. You never hear about the person in the story who gets a happy ending after a happy life. You here about the knight who loses his princess and has to overcome the obstacles like dragons and witches and in the end live a long and great life.

So, now that I've faced my demons I'm going to spend eternity surrounded by love with my family by my side.
