    Note : In this story, the Volturi had already known about Bella

    and her being human and with the Cullens. Besides this there is

    not much else from New moon/ Eclipse and Breaking Dawn as in

    my story Edwards visit to the Volturi and demand for death etc,

    does not occur however the Volturi did demand that Bella became

    Vampire before their meeting in this story. Some characters may

    have been altered/ adapted to suit this piece. Spellings and

    grammatical errors may be present.

    Inspiration taken from the fact that Bella never really took on the

    heroin role for me and rather waited for Edward or Jacob to save

    her. So here I am with my attempt at making her character more

    accident prone to say the least, and well almost opposite to how

    she is described through the actual series. Is it me or does Bella

    appear a bit too... skeletal, personality wise at times? I am NOT

    slandering Stephanie Meyer or her awesome saga, this is just my

    opinion. Disclaimer: Situation and Characters belong to Stephanie

    Meyer. Enjoy ^^

    Some things are never forgotten Chapter 1 - 4

    Prologue

    Some things are never forgotten...

    There was no Renesme...

    Edward had never returned...

    Alice hadnt had the vision of Bella dying... she had had no vision

    whatsoever... and would never have....

    Bella had fallen for Jacob yet everything was soon to change...

    Leaving the warmth of Jacobs arm, Bella left the werewolf sleeping.

    Carefully leaving the room she made her exit quiet, trying not to awake

    Jacob or alert his father that she had stayed the night. Envying Jacobsquick escapes via her bedroom window, she knew that with her attraction

    to the A & E wing of the hospital and her lack of balance, she was lucky if

    she even managed to run without tripping. Tiptoeing down the stairs,

    Bella shrugged her jacket on as the front door silently closed behind her.

    A cold breeze swept across the beach. The overcast clouds caused the

    sun to disappear. Shoving her hand in her pockets, Bella strolled across

    the moist sand, leaving a trail of footprints behind her. The bitter wind

    made her hair whip against her pale cheeks. Brushing the stray strands

    aside, she shuddered, hugging her coat tightly against her. The weather

    was worsening.

    Glancing towards the ocean, she watched as the waves crashed

    violently against the shore. Past memories resurfaced in her mind.

    Determined to rid herself of the ugly thoughts, Bella found herself tossing

    pebbles, sending wave after wave of ripples through the water.

    Suppressing a shiver, Bella fought the memories, past emotions that she

    had long since buried. A sense of calm swept through her as she centred

    her thoughts on Jacob.

    Human or not, he had quickly become her favourite person. She knew

    that the damage caused by those whom she had once considered family,

    would never heal yet Jacob, her werewolf friend had slowly mended her.

    Even if at first it was purely friendship, Bella couldnt deny her feelingspresently. She loved him, as much as her mangled heart could. It wasnt

    just friendship or love but a mixture of both plus a brotherly/sisterly

    connection. In her mind, Jacob was the only reason she was still in one

    piece.

    Even though she had calmed herself and had finally accepted the pain,

    Bellas mind occasionally wandered to what had been, what could have

    been, if he had stayed, Edward. Abandoned in the forest he had left her to

    die. An emotional wreck, Bella had Sam and his pack to thank for being

    alive. The weeks following had been difficult. Her mind still clungdesperately to the dreams of Edward. Hate coursed through her as she

    internally blamed the entire pack for the departure of her beloved Cullens.

    Still deluded with her hopes about the vampires returning, it wasnt till an

    unwelcomed visit from a certain vampire, Laurent, that Bella finally

    realised what Edward truly was, a liar, a cold blooded, deceiving, heartless

    liar. He had promised her dreams, hopes, love. Yet with Laurent cornering

    her in the forest, Bella found to her relief, Jacob becoming her saviour.

    Drawing back from her memories, she realised that it had started to

    rain. Yanking her hood up, Bella froze as the distinct words echoed around

    her.

    Whos to save you now? the voice menacingly chuckled. Shaking, she

    slowly turned to meet her visitor.

    Victoria Bella answered, her voice small.

    And I thought youd forget... Theres no one to save you now. No Edward.

    No Jacob. Nobody. How does it feel knowing that youre alone and you

    have them to blame for your death...? The red headed vampire almostsang her words, her eyes transforming to black.

    My death?

    Correct the vampire smiled as her lips curled up intentionally, revealing

    the razor-sharp tips of her fangs.

    Chapter 1

    Shuddering, Bella slowly began to back away, almost tripping several

    times over her own feet. Victorias smile appeared to be widening until her

    manic features became overshadowed by the sadistic grin that masked

    the vampires face. The sun seemed to eerily shine off the jagged fangsthat filled the vampires deadly mouth. A disturbing thought ruined Bellas

    concentration, Within a second shed be dead, her neck either drained or

    snapped in half, all with the skill of Victorias teeth.

    Desperate to escape, Bella broke into what she would have labelled as

    a fast sprint. However before she could even place one foot in front of the

    other, Victoria had unnervingly quickly moved in front of her, blocking her

    path. With very few options left, Bella resorted to yelling, hoping that the

    threat of angry werewolves would be enough to deter Victoria.

    Ja-! she managed before the vampire had sufficiently cut her off.

    With her hand clamped firmly over Bellas mouth and the sharp press

    of her fangs etching slowly closer to the humans jugular, Victoria had well

    and truly captured her prey. A distinct fear flickered through Bellas eyes.

    Laughing venomously, Victoria said,

    James would have been disappointed, such an easy kill but what can I

    do? Nobody cares about you and you are simply too good to waste.

    Falling tears continued to dampen Bellas already sodden cheeks. She

    knew that there was no chance of being spared, after all it was because of

    her that Victoria was now alone and mate-less.

    Glaring down onto the frail human, Victoria felt a moment of triumph;

    although her mate was now dead, he would soon be avenged. The death

    of the human would soon quickly reach her vampire and werewolf lover

    and then the real chase would begin. In her twisted mind the vampire had

    planed everything out, after Bellas death, when her two saviours would

    be alone, furious and determined for revenge they would hunt her, chaseher until only one amongst them survived.

    Her perverse ideas seeped through to her face, replacing her manic

    smile with an even more warped expression. The promise of an inevitably

    painful death caused Bella to return to her escape, she wasnt going to die

    easily. Struggling against Victorias iron grip, Bella found herself

    contemplating silently about her next move.

    Watching the resilient human with amusant, Victoria began to consider

    more excruciating methods of revenge. The girl was definitely

    entertaining to watch and her determination was nothing to ignore but

    would the humans death leave her satisfied, Victoria thought.

    Releasing her hold on Bella, Victoria stepped back. A puzzled yet

    malicious expression now covered her face. With dark eyes contrasting

    against her blood red hair, Victoria always appeared threatening.

    I could kill you now but why end the fun so soon? Victoria hissed

    tunefully. Tears continued to stream down Bellas face as she addressed

    the vampire.

    Why? Why me?

    Why! You killed my mate! Victoria replied, her voice echoing as her eyes

    switched to a bloody red/black.

    But... But.. I didnt, the Cullens did.

    The Cullens. Where are they now? Where are your loving family now?

    They had the common sense to leave you.

    No! Bella screamed.

    No? Why deny the truth? Why would anyone want to associate with a

    human?! Especially one as pathetic as you?!

    No!

    A hysterical chuckle rippled through the air, ending their conversation.

    Victoria stated a tall and stunning figure.

    Why Tanya, what are you doing here?

    To see if the Cullens had truly left answered the slender vampire.

    Tanya please! Bella cried helplessly.

    Both the vampires exchanged looks before glancing at Bella in disgust.

    As you can see they have.

  • 8/14/2019 Chapters 1 - 4 Some Things Are Never Forgotten

    6/16

    Why, Victoria, this is a dangerous game you are playing, killing the

    Cullenss pet..

    This time it was Victorias turn to laugh wildly.

    But Tanya. Dont you see? Theyve left her. They dont care about her.Nobody does. A smile broke across both the vampires faces. Would you

    care to join?

    Wrinkling her nose in revulsion, Tanya replied, No. I may loathe the

    human but I am still vegetarian.

    Fine but surely you will watch the kill?

    No. I have matters to attend to, perhaps next time? Tanya rejoined as

    she speedily exited, leaving no evidence of her presence.

    Returning her attention to Bella, the vampire felt a smile tug at her lips

    as the humans noticeable distress mixed with her scent. Up until then

    Bella had found herself frozen with fear, unable to move she could only

    watch the conversation regarding her death. As she realised that Victoria

    was preparing to kill her, Bella felt a scream escape her lips.

    Swiftly Victoria lunged at Bella, grappling the humans neck with her

    immense grip. Deafening cries filled the scene as Bella could feel the

    vampires fangs break through her thin skin. Crippling in Victorias hold,

    she could feel the rough points of Victorias fangs deepening into her

    neck. With her faltering sight, Bella could only make out the distinct red of

    blood, her blood, trailing down her body. A sickening emotion enveloped

    her as she fell into unconsciousness.

    A pulsating anguish flowed through her entire body. Engulfed by an

    increasing darkness, Bella felt lost as her screams of pains failed to leaveher mouth. Individually moving her limbs, an agonizing pain jolted through

    her back causing her to wince. Blinking, she immediately noticed the light,

    or lack of it. Completely surrounded by utter darkness, Bella could only

    think of one reason, she was dead.

    7/16

    Chapter 2

    An intense heat burned through the centre of her back as she stumbled

    more into unconsciousness. Now beyond a comatose sleep, Bella was

    aware of only one thing, the excruciating, inconceivable pain that now

    tore through her entire body. What had once started as a mild flame now

    felt like a blazing fire which had engulfed and trapped her. However as

    soon as the pain had become unbearable it had seized abruptly and had

    begun to fade away. Even though the burning anguish had now left her

    she could still feel its tormenting presence.

    A cool breeze washed over her stinging body. For Bella it was a

    welcomed change. At first the difference between the two sensations

    startled her. The breeze felt like a refreshing waterfall consuming her

    whole body. The pain seemed to wash away with the soft touch of the

    wind, as if like two forces working against each other. Her mind finally

    started to work once more. With the smouldering anguish now lost to the

    gentle wind that carefully caressed her skin, she summoned the strength

    to open her eyes.

    Blinking several times, it took her a while to adjust to the bright light.

    Moving hesitantly, she cautiously stood up.

    What the... she managed before being silenced.

    Looking around she was startled by the preciseness of everything,

    nothing lacked detail. Each curve in the pebbles stood out, the sky was no

    longer a plain sheet of blue but a canvas of tiny blue dots. As each wave

    crashed she could hear the loud roar of the water that she had never

    heard before. Glancing down at her feet she noticed the grainy sand.

    8/16

    Once deemed soft and golden, Bella now could see how far off she had

    been. The sand was more of beige/brown, not yellow enough for gold and

    certainly not smooth enough to be soft. Returning to the entire scene, she

    absorbed all the new information in, as if she had never experienced the

    world before.

    Youre alive.

    Startled by the voice, Bella froze.

    What have you done? Bella asked.

    Nothing. I thought I had killed you, I certainly didnt mean for this

    Victoria rejoined, her speech showing her seriousness.

    This?

    Why, youre a vampire now. Like me Victoria happily informed her,

    emphasising on the latter part.

    No!

    No?

    I am not like you! Bella yelled, placing her hand against her temple in

    an attempt of controlling her sudden dizziness.

    A smile replaced the blank expression that had covered Victorias face.

    Allowing her eyes to turn to a deadly shade of black, the redhead sprang

    at her, forcefully knocking into Bella. Slamming into the rough pebbles she

    had previously admired, Bella was surprised when she felt nothing. Rising,

    she watched Victorias grin falter.

    Im not fragile anymore Victoria. In fact Id say Im stronger than you

    Bella announced, her voice malicious. A brief flicker of fear raced through

    Victorias eyes before being quickly hidden. However before Vitoria could

    answer there was another voice.

    Bella? said the figure running towards them. Immensely tall, well

    built and tanned, Jacob moved speedily, a fierce expression replacing his

    natural softness. Reaching them he only then realised what had

    happened.

    Bella... youre a...

    Vampire she finished.

    Why? How?

  • 8/14/2019 Chapters 1 - 4 Some Things Are Never Forgotten

    9/16

    Victoria she answered, only then noticing that the redheaded vampire

    was no longer present.

    Victoria!? he questioned, his speech and eyes becoming engulfed in

    rage. She did this? That little he said before being cut off by the

    piercing look she was giving him.

    Abruptly Jacobs attitude changed. He became conflicted. Nearing him,

    Bella asked,

    Jacob?

    Stay away from me he said through gritted teeth as he slowly backed

    away.

    Jacob?

    Shaking, the werewolf refused to speak any further or look at her.

    Jacob?

    SHUT UP! he yelled, his body heaving as he lost control.

    Shocked by his reaction, Bella immediately took to a defensive stance,

    something that she had never done before.

    Look at you he spat.

    Still in a defensive crouch, she gradually rose.

    What?

    Youre like them. Hell you are one of them!

    But...

    Youre a bloodsucker, a leech, you make my skin crawl.

    Staring at him, she understood what he was getting at. Picking herselfup she questioned,

    You hate me?

    Yes.... No... I cant help it.

    But why? I havent done anything wrong.

    Yet he corrected.

  • 8/14/2019 Chapters 1 - 4 Some Things Are Never Forgotten

    10/16

    Jacob listen to yourself! I have done nothing wrong. So Im a vampire

    your point is? Im still the same Bella you once knew. Im still that girl, the

    girl you love.

    Advancing towards her, he radiated a threatening power.

    The girl I love is dead. DEAD! You are a vampire. You are a killer! Youre

    a selfish creature and I hate you! Everything about you.... Your evil.

    Stunned by what he had said, Bella was most pained by his final words.

    If Im evil then kill me.

    Glaring at her, he walked away.

    Kill me! she ordered.

    With little time to react, Bella moved just in time before Jacob hit the

    empty air where she had once stood.

    If you want death so bad go to the volturi.

    Why wont you kill me?

    I think you should leave Bella.

    Why?

    Ill tell everyone you were killed, Ill make sure its believable.

    Why wont you kill me?! she repeated.

    Slamming her into the water, Jacob released his anger. As she stood

    amongst the waves she heard his retreating figure say,

    I love you.

    Chapter 3

    With very little choice, Bella could only think of two options, either

    returning home and risking her fathers life or leaving, leaving everything

    that she had considered hers and home. Taking one lasting look at the

    beach, she shut her eyes and breathed deeply in, an action which felt

    awkwardly unnatural. Surprisingly it didnt take her long to deliberate.

    Even though her father would be left heartbroken at least he would

    remain alive. That thought alone allowed her to leave, nothing little of herparents protection would make her depart.

    Opening her eyes, she knew that if she could cry than she would have

    done so. The stretching rays of sunlight appeared to be reaching across

    the sky, clawing the clouds. Looking at the sand she expected to see her

    usual deep footprints. There was no trace of her presence, no shapes in

    the sand, nothing. Knowing that she was delaying her departure, Bella

    took a sweeping glance before running.

  • 8/14/2019 Chapters 1 - 4 Some Things Are Never Forgotten

    12/16

    Quickly hitting the forests past her house, Bella only briefly reflected

    on her speed, it felt faster than any of the Cullens had managed. A twinge

    of pain stabbed through her mind before swiftly calming.

    No Cullens. Not today. They ruined everything. They caused this she

    mumbled, inaudible to anyone else.

    The crunching of breaking twigs beneath her feet rang loudly in her

    ears as she moved. Unsure of where exactly she was heading to, Bella

    was shocked when she found herself surrounded by familiar scenes.

    Standing in the meadow, she could remember every detail of the day she

    had spent there with Edward. Although it was blurry Bella could recall

    exactly how she had felt, feelings that she had long since buried.

    Shaking herself off the memories, she clenched her fists; she would not

    allow herself to dwell on past lies. Looking up at the branches, she was

    pleased when she saw and though of nothing but the wood that stood in

    front of her. Still Bella longed to test her limits. If I could just prove that I

    didnt feel anything then Id be fine, she thought.

    Accelerating, she soon found what she had been searching for.

    Devoured by overgrown foliage, the Cullens house was barely

    identifiable. Weaving through the increasing forestry, Bella navigated her

    way to the front of the house. It had only been five months since the

    Cullens had left yet the house seemed to have aged incredibly. Allowingher hand to brush against the walls, she shuddered each time an old

    memory would resurface. Finally she let go feeling triumphant. She had

    imagined it to be torturous however it hadnt felt like that at all. A sense

    of peace and calm now overwhelmed her.

    Smiling, she soon remembered what had happened. Thinking

    systematically, Bella tried to decide what to do next. Im a vampire. Im a

    newborn vampire. Which means what, she heard her conscience ask.

    Which means Im unstable and I drink blood, BLOOD! Rather than confuse

    her further, her internal conversation she had just had had alerted her tosomething that had always repulsed her, blood. The Cullens, the many

    stories and Jacobs fears had all confirmed to her one thing, vampires

    were blood drinkers. No matter how moral the vampire was, they always

    devoured blood, even the vegetarians.

    Feeling no hunger, Bella was far from complacent. She had seen the

    hunger strike before, it possessed you, even the strongest of vampires fell

    to the pull of feeding. Desperate to do the honourable choice and resist

    feeding as long as she could, Bella knew that it was impossible and if she

    was to become overwhelmed by the hunger, than it was best if she was

  • 8/14/2019 Chapters 1 - 4 Some Things Are Never Forgotten

    13/16

    isolated from humans. A shiver passed through her at the thought of such

    a thing. Nonetheless if isolation meant her not murdering humans then

    isolation was her only choice.

    Taking one last look at the house, she washed her mind blank before

    racing away towards the mountainous region, which she had heard was

    where the Cullens used to hunt. Speedily climbing the rocks, she reached

    the top of the cliff-like area. Surrounded by animals, Bella hoped that her

    first kill would be easy.

    The sun began to set, its red rays illuminating the sky before being

    replaced by the night. The moon gradually became evident, bringing with

    it an array of glowing stars and a chilly breeze. Mesmerised by the stars,

    she found herself acknowledging that she had never seen such natural

    beauty; her human sight had done the world an injustice. The choppywind that usually would have caused her teeth to chatter had little effect

    on her.

    Quickly time passed, soon she had waited an entire day yet the hunger

    had still to appear. Pacing around, she remained always vigilant. A

    passing deer mixed with the wind, causing its scent to travel to where

    Bella was. Expecting such a situation to end in a fast kill, she was

    surprised and frustrated when she felt nothing. Yeah its a deer, so what,

    she thought. Another day passed and it was swiftly becoming clear that

    the hunger was either waiting or there was something wrong with her.Perhaps she was only attracted to human blood? Maybe it was a certain

    type of animal that she liked? Or maybe she didnt like blood at all... the

    latter solution made Bella laugh. All vampires liked blood, it was what

    made them vampires and she was one.

    Chapter 4

    Knowing that her presence in Forks would soon become an unavoidabletrouble, Bella had only one choice, to leave. Surprisingly, she felt ratherunmoved by such news. Guessing that it was the vampirism finally

    settling in, she dismissed her lack of emotion, her only real problem waskeeping her family and friends alive and that meant distancing herself.

    Clambering up the tall trees with ease, Bella took a sweeping glance ofthe place she had once called home.Beautiful isnt it?

    The sudden voice did not alarm her. She had previously had the

    feeling that she had sensed a non-human. Leaping from a great height,her feet barely made a noise as she connected with the ground.Demitri? What brings you here?

    An increasing smile overtook his other fine features.Allow me to congratulate you on your change. I must say it suits youwell.Thank you she replied, her tone icy.Very well indeed he continued, stepping closer towards her.

    Glancing up, she challenged his gaze, instantly adopting a strong act.Thinking that he would soon break her down, Demitri quickly grewhesitant as he discovered Bellas power.Now tell me, what are you doing here? Are you alone?Personal arent we? he chuckled, stepping back.What business brings you here?Youre no fun. The Volturi shouldve kept you human. It does not concernyou but I was sent to check for the Cullens.

    Moving further away, she maintained eye contact as she applaudedherself mentally for not flinching at the mention of her former family.

    They are not here.As I discovered. What I did not expect is for them to turn you and thenleave.

    Clearly the Volturi knew little of the true circumstance or whereaboutsof the Cullens, Bella thought.If it is information you seek I have none. I myself have no idea wherethey are or why they left.

    Her words caused the guard to grow bemused yet he persisted.But you chose to stay?

    Amazed at her own skilful lying and adept improvisation, Bellasustained her nonchalant act, hoping that he would finally leave.I am not as close to them as they would have you believe she shrugged.As she tried to move past the brawny vampire, she found herself beatenand blocked off by Demitris natural talent and instinct.So you will have me believe that the human the Cullens risked their livesfor, knows nothing?Exactly.You lie. I can sense it.

  • 8/14/2019 Chapters 1 - 4 Some Things Are Never Forgotten

    15/16

    Unprepared for such an accusation, she knew that if she had beenhuman, her body would have been shaking intensely.Then you sense nothing. The Cullens became bored of me, found melacking interest.Perhaps Edward loves another?

    The mere suggestion ripped her heart into pieces. The most logical ofall explanations had not disturbed her thoughts. Yet here with Demitriquestioning her, she could only agree with the guard,perhaps he did loveanother, she questioned silently. Shirking her doubt away, Bella presentedan indifferent exterior, as if the suggestion had not affected her.

    Perhaps.You are not hurt? he asked, a certain curiosity filling his voice.No. Why should I be?Forgive me for stating but from what I have heard, you Miss Swan arepresumed to be extremely naive and delicateYour point? she questioned, folding her arms.My point is, from what I have seen you are the complete opposite. Not afrail, pure, pretty but a dangerously attractive beauty.I am sorry but I dont understand you.

    Understand this; I believe that you will prove to be a promising assetto the Volturi he rejoined enthusiastically.You want me to join the Volturi?Exactement.

    I thought the Volturi were Italian?I have French ancestry he answered proudly.

    As exciting as Demitris personal history was, Bella still remainedawestruck by his proposal.You want me to be a guard?Yes but I will have to present you first to the others.What if I dont want to be a guard? she challenged.Then you dont but do you really want to be a newborn vampire alone,especially with so many already after your precious head? Demitri said,mimicking Bellas earlier blas attitude.

    What would it entail?Nothing much. If you have any talents then them of course, otherwisejust what is expected of a bodyguard.But why me?Lets just say you have a certain je ne sais quoi he replied. So you saythe Cullens are missing?

    With her casual shrug in response, he became silent and thoughtful.Mercifully the string of questions, suggestions and conversation stopped

    entirely there. Taking this as her cue to escape, Bella began to back away,

    16/16

    still watching the puzzled guard as she moved. With no movement on hispart, Bella darted through the trees that surrounded the cliff.

    As she moved her mind was consumed with only a single thought, thevolturi are in, or will be in Forks, searching for the Cullens. Her muscles

    continued to surge on as she remained unsure of her destination. Theexercise proved to be helpful as she attempted to piece together a plan.Desperate to elude the vampire royalty at all cost, she knew that she hadto flee Forks swiftly. Demitri may not have been able to track her whenshe had been human but now vampire, she wasnt taking any risks at all.
