Chapter One: Bad Move

Bella sat in the lush green park soaking in the sun with her puppy that she had gotten herself. She grinned at the thought. She had finally got herself a pet. She looked back at how much her life had changed in the last year and half.

She didn't know her life would completely change when she left Phoenix to go live with her dad in Forks. She was independent from a very young age. Her mother, Renee, was a free spirit. So Bella was the responsible one between them. Always taking care of her mother. Cooking food, checking if the bills are paid on time, going to school and studying hard to get good grades.

She didn't have a life. Home and school, that was all there to it. So there shouldn't have been any major changes to her life with the move right? Wrong. She was oh so wrong.

Her life had been a major clusterfuck from there on. One wrong decision after other. How had that happened? There is no putting it mildly. She had been an idiot and was played like a fool. It had cost her so much; caused her so much pain. And for what?

She had met Edward and had been fascinated by him. It wasn't his looks that had drawn her to him. She was curious because she knew he and his family weren't normal. Which was only further proved by series of incidents. She wondered if they had been this careless in their past with other humans, it's a miracle they had managed to keep their existence a secret.

She doesn't remember it now but after confronting him of being a vampire they had gotten into a relationship somehow. Relationship, she snorted. They had hardly been together for some odd months. Majority of which had been spent on running for her life and then in hospital recovering. They had never actually dated in the real sense.

Not even a week into the so-called relationship and the Cullen's had put her life in danger. Edward had called her a danger magnet. But it was him and his family that had brought most to the table. She had managed to stay alive and well till she had met them, thank you very much. The James incident left scars that were both physical and mental.

But what followed had marred her. Edward had left claiming that she wasn't good enough for him. And that he had gotten bored of her. When it had been him who had pursued her and told her that she was the love of his life. That he wouldn't be able to live without her all the while refusing to change her in the name of protecting her soul.

She had been heart broken and miserable after they had left. Her parents had tried to help her but she was far to gone to her.

The pack had saved her from Laurent but not before he spilled that Victoria was after her. She had just begun to get her life together when she lost her mom, Phil and dad. Victoria had killed them as part of her revenge plan she had for Bella.

But with darkness comes light. Her grandmother who had never been much involved in her life had called after her father's death to offer condolence and had asked if she wanted to come live with her. As Bella had no one left and with Victoria on her trail she decided to give it a go. What else could go wrong, she thought.

So she left after getting everything legally settled. She told no one where she was going.

She had always wondered what went wrong between her father and grandmother. They hadn't been on talking terms with each other. He had completely severed any connections to her and had not let her in his or Bella's life.

The question was soon answered. It seemed that magic had skipped a generation in Swan line. While her father was not a warlock and had been able to live his life normally; Bella had been blessed. She had started coming into her powers early in her life but her father had all but demanded grandma Marie to lock them and never speak of it again. He had forbidden her to tell anyone about it. And had completely cut her off their life.

Bella had been furious when she learnt about it. She had told her gran about the Cullen's and Victoria. Her gran had then done some spells to protect her and keep her hidden from Victoria and as well as anyone who might be looking for her. Especially if Alice Cullen had a sudden urge to peek into Bella's future.

She was pissed at knowing that her father had kept this from her and had asked her gran to unlock her powers.

That was the beginning of a beautiful journey.
