Chapter One

Its been 60 years since Edward left me. I thought as I wondered the streets of another small town looking for prey.

It was a cloudy night, only a slither of the moon was visible. It didn't effect my sight though. I was a vampire now. No thanks to Edward.

A homeless man ambled around the corner in front of me. I instantly turned seductive.

"Hello. I'm new in town. Do you no where the high school is?" I purred.

"Yes ma'am. Why would a young thing like you be out this late? Its awfully dangerous around this part of town."

"Why do you say that?" I ask and walk to his side.

"Because there are people like me out here." He suddenly pulls my arm. I let him drag me into a dark ally.

"Bad guys like you always pay." I mumble and he turns around and smirks.

"Are you gonna make me pay little girl?"

"Actually, yeah I am." I sink my fangs into his neck. He was reasonably clean.

Soon I was done so I threw down the lifeless man and walked away. I walked all the way across town to my Lamborghini. I loved it. It was sleek, black, and on a night like tonight, you couldn't see it without vampire eyes.

I drove back to my house as fast as I could.

As I walk through the front door I shout, "Harley! Are you in?"

Harley comes gliding down the stairs. "Okay, I have news, but first I need your advise." Her hair changed colors rapidly. "Black, blond, or red for this town?"

"Red, but make it dark. I'll do mine black." As I talk my blond hair goes black. "So whats your news?" I walk into the hall bathroom to fix my make-up.

Harley hesitates. She never does that. I look at her questioningly. "Well, you know Bella... I was there when he left you. I know how hurt you were-"

"I wasn't hurt. I was angry. I don't care anymore though." I snap and put all my stuff, back in its drawer.

"Well, um, its hard to tell you this but..."

"But what." I snap again.

"Um, their here-"

"What!" I screeched. I sniff and know their in the same house as me. "Why the f**k did you let them in!" I hear one of them flinch. They were obviously listening in. Good.

I run into the living room at vampire speed. There they are. Sitting on my couch in my home. All of them.

"Bella-" Carlisle starts.

"Get out." I say coldly flashing my eyes crimson. They all stare at me.

"Just hear us out." Carlisle pleaded.

I laugh evilly. "You should get out while you still can."

"Bella. Don't do this. We've heard about you. We need you're help."

"Oh? You need my help? After 60 years?"

"Don't worry. Shes not always this bitchy." Harley said sitting down next to Alice. Traitor.

"Shut up Harley." I snarl.

"Bella. We're really sorry." Alice whispers staring at me.

"Well, I'm not so get the f**k out of my house before I have to hurt someone."

"Shes obviously not the same Bella we once knew. We'll get help from Tanya." Edward says from a dark corner.

Esme, who has been looking at her hands in her lap the whole time, looks up and mumbles, "They would be useless. We need Bella's powers."

"Oh this is terrific! You only need me for my powers! Oh the irony. Well when I needed you guys when Victoria came back, were you there? No." They all flinch a little. Now get out."

"But Bella, you don't even know what we're asking you for! Please." Carlisle stands up and starts walking towards me. I lift my hand threateningly.

"Stay back and get out."

"Bella-" His words are cut off by an ear piecing scream. Everyone but me and Harley jump. Rosalie jumps off the couch.

"God damn him." I look out the window then back at them. While I go quiet him down you had better leave. This is your last warning." I jump out the only open window in the room and jog down the well worn path that leads to my beasty.
