Chapter 01 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Ever since the debacle on her 18th birthday at the Cullen house, Bella had distanced herself from the Cullens, which was a little hard to do when you were living in a small town, and Bella decided to finish her school elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It meant that she was leaving Charlie behind, but Bella needed a fresh start, far away from the Cullens. While the Volturi\u2019s demands were still a threat to her, she hoped that keeping her head down and ignoring everything that happened would suffice and she wouldn\u2019t lose her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella had moved to Beacon Hills in December and she was expected to start school at Beacon Hills High after the holidays. Beacon Hills was chilly for December, but still warmer than Forks and Bella didn\u2019t mind the cold so much. She was sharing a house with a few other people who couldn\u2019t afford renting an apartment by themselves, and most of them were working individuals, which was alright, Bella just wanted to finish her school year, graduate and travel the world and learn things for a year before applying for a different college than the one in Alaska so she could become a history teacher. Yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was still the plan, and the plan was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella had done extensive research on where to go next, and she focused on areas where she\u2019d be safe during the daylight, places that were relatively cheap to live in, and small towns where she could disappear in. To be honest, to disappear it would have been better to go to a big city but she wasn\u2019t ready for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing that had made Bella a bit hesitant to move to Beacon Hills were the headlines in the newspapers; she\u2019d seen them in Forks, slightly, but there were plenty of headlines seemingly covering up something but Bella couldn\u2019t find anything on the internet regarding vampires or werewolves in Beacon Hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headlines were the usual coverups; \u2018Unexplained Animal Activity Raises Concerns Among Residents\u2019, \u2018Local Animal Shelter Raises Awareness About Increase in Bites, Urges Pet Safety\u2019 or \u2018Search for Missing Persons Continues, Authorities Cite Possible Runaways\u2019 for example. But a) vampires made sure that their victims were never found and bites didn\u2019t stay on corpses in the shape of a bite, and b) shifter wolves like the Quilleutes didn\u2019t bite anyone for funsies – nor was there a strong connection to any Native American tribe that Bella could find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, on paper, Beacon Hills was perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her first day attending Beacon Hills High School was mostly filling out paperwork and showing her paperwork; despite all schools providing the same curriculum, there was always a difference in how things were taught. When she first moved to Forks, she was slightly ahead of things, and now she was desperately behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella was going to have to work hard to catch up, but she wasn\u2019t too worried, she wasn\u2019t going to make friends or go out, she was only in Beacon Hills as a pitstop. She could dedicate her time to catch up on school work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school was just like any other school, but instead of basketball being the school sport, it was lacrosse and she saw a lot of boys with lacrosse sticks in the hallway as the school administrator showed her around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course she was being stared at; new girl and all. Nothing she wasn\u2019t used to, she was glad that there were no Eric types at this school so far, while Eric had been the cause of Bella gaining some friends back in Forks, she really didn\u2019t want that to happen here. She was going to give it a few days and the novelty of a new student in school would wear off quickly. She was sure of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella joined the rest of the student population during English class, an hour before lunch break. According to the curriculum the subject this week was \u201cExploring Folklore: Myths, Legends, and Cultural Narratives\u201d and the class of today focused on oral traditions and how certain stories evolved over time becoming their own thing in society, such as the story of the Changeling, a story rooted in Irish folklore where babies would be replaced by fairies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In class, Bella became acutely aware of the lingering stares from a few classmates, their gaze fixed on her as if she emitted an unusual scent. The unsettling scrutiny triggered unwelcome flashbacks of her encounter with Edward. She instinctively shuddered and, seeking a sense of protection, pulled her sleeves over her hands. Focusing intently on the words in front of her, she tried to immerse herself in the teacher’s lecture, determined to block out the distracting memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she was walking to the lunch room after class, Bella found herself to be pulled into an empty classroom by two of her male classmates. The shorter one, was lean and athletically built, brown eyes and brown short hair, dressed in a grey henley shirt that hugged his muscular arms. The other was tall and slender and had dirty blond hair but the most gorgeous blue eyes Bella had ever seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet go of me or I\u2019ll scream bloody murder,\u201d she declared with a mix of frustration and anger, her defiant tone cutting through the unexpected and unwarranted situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t sense a wolf in her,\u201d the shorter guy observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWolf?\u201d Bella squeaked in a panic, swiftly ducking under his arms and making her way towards the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, a werewolf,\u201d the guy clarified, trailing after her, while the other one smacked himself in the face with the palm of his hand. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, sure, let’s enlighten the new girl about werewolves,\u201d the boy hissed, rolling his eyes. \u201cGood job, Scott.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Scott\u2019 paused for a moment as he held the door so Bella couldn\u2019t leave. \u201cOh, yeah, but she smells like\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI smell?!\u201d Bella countered angrily. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t, let me go, I don\u2019t want to deal with this crap.\u201d As Scott blocked her exit, Bella’s frustration peaked. Her heart raced, a mix of fear and annoyance fueling her defiance. She could feel her palms sweating and her breath coming in short, ragged bursts as she squared her shoulders, appearing to get ready to stand her ground, but her anxiety was spiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just let me go!” she demanded, her voice trembling with a blend of anxiety and frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott hesitated for a moment, studying her reaction. The other boy, the one who had smacked himself in the face earlier, chimed in, “Scott, seriously, we’re revealing our supernatural secrets to the new girl? What’s next? A PowerPoint presentation on the supernatural wonders of Beacon Hills?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignoring his friend’s sarcasm, Scott finally released the door, allowing Bella to escape the confines of the classroom. She hastily retreated into the bustling hallway, leaving the two boys to exchange uneasy glances. Bella had to get out. Leave. She stumbled outside and tried to find a quiet spot as her heart nearly burst out of her chest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the fuck was she? A supernatural magnet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella found a quiet spot and tried to breathe and to stop shaking. She needed to calm down, and once she\u2019d done that, she was going to leave. Surely there was a place on Earth that had no supernatural community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella looked up to see a bottle of water and she cautiously took it before looking up who gave it to her. It was the boy with the gorgeous blue eyes. \u201cThanks,\u201d she murmured as she set it down next to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cName\u2019s Isaac,\u201d he said as he squatted down in front of her. \u201cAnd I want to sincerely apologize for my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Bella and It\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour panic attack says something else,\u201d he said with a warm smile. \u201cI know what it\u2019s like.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella met Isaac’s eyes, finding an unexpected understanding there. She took a deep breath, grateful for the small act of kindness in this confusing situation. “I appreciate it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac nodded sympathetically. “From your reaction, you must have experience with werewolves or at least the supernatural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re correct,\u201d she said as she tugged her sleeves over her hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut you\u2019re not a werewolf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella took a deep breath and decided to share a little. \u201cI hung out with shifters, I likely smell them,\u201d she eventually said and shrugged. \u201cThey weren\u2019t the bad part. I honestly thought Beacon Hills would be supernatural-free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac laughed then. \u201cIt is, on the surface, when you don\u2019t know about it, but on a more positive note, there aren\u2019t many of us here. Whatever you\u2019re running from, you\u2019re safe here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tension that had gripped Bella began to ease as Isaac’s words offered a glimmer of reassurance. \u201cMaybe\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHonestly, you can try running, but once you\u2019ve been in touch with supernatural beings, you\u2019re kinda marked as \u2018in the know\u2019 and you\u2019ll be dragged back in, whether you want to or not,\u201d he shifted on his feet a little and then decided to sit down in front of her. \u201cAt least in our small community, we can make sure you won\u2019t be exposed to it too much here at school and you can hide as much as you want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr, I could find some other place to go or keep moving and do my school online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere\u2019s the fun in that?\u201d Isaac picked up her bottle of water and helped her to her feet after getting to his. \u201cCome on, lunch is over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was almost as if Isaac had taken it upon himself to slowly introduce Bella to the rest of his friends over the course of the next month and she found herself not really minding it; but she also knew that she wasn\u2019t going to make permanent connections to them; after graduation, she was going to move on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had wanted to move on, of course, after her first day in school, but also knew that Isaac\u2019s words that day held some truth; she knew of the supernatural, of course she was going to find it elsewhere too now that she knew about it. And he\u2019d been right, their community was small, and laying low mostly because of hunters and a recent supernatural crisis or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac also helped her with the schoolwork that she was missing when he wasn\u2019t in practise for lacrosse – Bella still hadn\u2019t attended a game. Isaac proclaimed he wasn\u2019t the smartest in school work, especially English, but he also didn\u2019t quite fancy hanging out with Scott a lot. While Scott was his Alpha, Isaac still felt a little bit hurt about how things unfolded when his girlfriend got killed and died in her ex boyfriend’s – Scott\u2019s – arms and Isaac had realised that Allison never loved him like she\u2019d loved Scott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac also knew it was immature and stupid, but his feelings got hurt and he only stayed at Scott\u2019s because he had no place to go and Mrs. McCall was an awesome woman. And while Isaac appreciated Scott as a friend and Alpha, it was still awkward for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella got the idea that Isaac was damaged, and then some. He also had some anger issues, but seeing as he was a werewolf, she understood. She still didn\u2019t tell him much about herself, it was better that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac’s unexpected question about Valentine’s Day interrupted their concentration on math problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella blinked in surprise. “That overly hyped day where you’re forced to be nice and spend a fortune on people, despite there being 364 other days in the year for the same?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, that,\u201d he laughed. \u201cI\u2019m guessing you\u2019re doing nothing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a reason to,\u201d Bella replied with a shrug. \u201cI\u2019ll likely curl up in bed with a good book and hot chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood?\u201d Bella laughed. \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, at least you\u2019ll be safe,\u201d Isaac shrugged. \u201cUh, the veterinarian and Mr. Argent warned about the full moon during the night, that there\u2019d be a lunar eclipse at the same time and things have the potential to go a bit crazy. Seeing as this is Beacon Hills, I think it\u2019d be best if you stayed indoors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI trust you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slight blush appeared on Isaac\u2019s cheeks. \u201cThanks, but I don\u2019t trust Liam, and if shit does hit the fan I\u2019d rather focus on making sure he doesn\u2019t do something stupid than worrying about you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She let out a slight chuckle. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to worry about me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnfortunately, Bella Swan, I do care and worry about you and I told you before, I want to do my best to protect you from all things supernatural,\u201d he stuck out his tongue to her. \u201cI\u2019d prefer it if you\u2019d go out of town, to be honest, but then I won\u2019t be able to protect you anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She narrowed her eyes on him. \u201cI can take care of myself, thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh I know, and you likely would look cute all cut up by a werewolf and the sheriff would have to spin yet another story to parents about wild animals in the woods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella sighed as she took a sip of her drink. \u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you,\u201d Isaac replied with a lighthearted grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Valentine’s Day approached in Beacon Hills, Bella found herself torn between Isaac’s concern for her safety and her own desire to assert independence. Despite Isaac’s warnings about the potential chaos during the full moon, she couldn’t shake the feeling that staying indoors felt more like succumbing to fear than exercising caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She would, of course, stay indoors like she had been doing every day for the last few months the moment it started to get dark outside. She wasn\u2019t afraid of werewolves, she was afraid of potential vampires coming and finding her. Bella wasn\u2019t going to make things easy for them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes she wished she could break her own self-imposed rules and tell Isaac the truth on why she was hiding, because he knew she was hiding, but she also didn\u2019t want to endanger him. However, should the Cold Ones come to Beacon Hills for her anyway, the local community needed to know the potential dangers, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was something that was gnawing at her mind, and it had been for a few weeks. It was almost as if she could sense that the vampires were closing in on her and while she didn\u2019t want to make friends, she didn\u2019t want people to get hurt or taken by surprise. She knew something was coming and she could warn them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After school, with Isaac in lacrosse practice, Bella went to the veterinary clinic, a place she had been avoiding. Isaac had told her about the veterinarian, Dr. Deaton, and how he wasn\u2019t just a veterinarian, but also some sort of guide for the supernatural community in Beacon Hills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She entered the clinic and found it empty. \u201cHello?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the back! Come on over!\u201d A voice called out to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding it strange that someone would call her over to the back of a clinic where people worked, she refused. \u201cThat\u2019s a little strange to invite someone to come in the back of the shop when you don\u2019t know who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A head popped out of a doorway with a smile on his face. \u201cWho says I don\u2019t know who you are, Ms. Swan? Come on in, I\u2019ve been expecting you.\u201d He nodded towards the wooden gate for her to pass through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sighing, Bella opened the gate and passed through it before joining the veterinarian in the back. \u201cDid I pass your test?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFlying colours,\u201d he said as he continued to clean his instruments. \u201cI\u2019m Alan Deaton, and seeing as you don\u2019t have a pet with you, I\u2019m guessing you\u2019re here for something else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow did you know who I was?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsaac told me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh,\u201d Bella nodded slowly. \u201cHe\u2019s how I know about you too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood, how can I assist you?\u201d Deaton briefly looked up from cleaning to give her a little smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t told anyone this and I hope this can stay between us, or at least where you got the information from,\u201d she said as she started to slowly pace the room, fiddling with her sleeves, her anxiety spiking a little. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about it but I have to because I don\u2019t want anyone to get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsaac believes you have some supernatural trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d she nodded. \u201cIt\u2019s not werewolf or shifter related though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo on,\u201d he encouraged, still cleaning, intentionally avoiding direct eye contact to ease her discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHave you\u2026 have you ever heard about vampires?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deaton nearly dropped his instrument in surprise. \u201cWhat kind?\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you mean, \u2018what kind\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, there are those that have blood in their veins, and then there are the Cold Ones with poison running through their veins,\u201d he explained carefully. \u201cJust how there are shifter wolves like the Queillutes, there are also the kind of wolves that are not like that, like our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, what kind?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCold Ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sheer knowledge of knowing about them is dangerous, Bella. I really hope you\u2019re not joking about it,\u201d Deaton said intently. \u201cI know about them, but I\u2019ve never met them, so I\u2019m relatively safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella approached him, revealing the scar on her wrist. \u201cI was briefly under the spell of a coven, and this is the work of one of their enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear appeared on Deaton\u2019s face as he studied the scar on her wrist and looked at her. \u201cDo the Volturi know about you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella bit her lip and nodded. \u201cI either turn or die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not good,\u201d he understated. \u201cWhat are your plans?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy plans were to finish school and do a year of travel, and then see what happens but I feel that they\u2019re close\u2026 maybe that\u2019s paranoia on my part\u2026 but I just have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, this Valentine\u2019s Day\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsaac told me about it, don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll stay inside,\u201d she said quickly. \u201cBut it\u2019s not that. I don\u2019t feel like it is,\u201d Bella sighed. \u201cBut I don\u2019t know what to do. Do I stay and risk Beacon Hills to become a wasteland because people are looking for me, or do I go?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deaton let out a breath as he watched Bella start pacing again. \u201cHonestly, I don\u2019t know. We\u2019ve faced worse here in Beacon Hills but what worries me is their venom and how it may affect them. Breaking Cold Ones should be relatively easy with the strength our wolves have, it\u2019s likely quite similar to the wolves up in Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella stopped pacing and looked at Deaton with a mixture of desperation and determination. “I can’t let Beacon Hills suffer because of me, but I can’t just run and hide either. There has to be a way to face this without causing harm to everyone around me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cForgive me, I\u2019m a little bit curious. From the stories I\u2019ve been hearing from them it\u2019s that you\u2019re trying to maintain your distance, almost as if you don\u2019t want to form any connections, and yet, you worry about them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted to keep my distance because of this. It\u2019s easier to leave when I have no ties to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shrugged. \u201cBeacon Hills might be growing on me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deaton met her gaze, a thoughtful expression on his face. “We’ll need to prepare. If the Volturi come, we’ll face it head-on, but strategically. I’ll consult with our allies, and we’ll create a plan to protect Beacon Hills and deal with the threat.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella nodded, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. “Thank you, Dr. Deaton. I don’t want to be the cause of any more trouble for this town.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deaton offered a reassuring smile. “We’re in this together, Bella. Beacon Hills has faced supernatural challenges before, and we’ve always come out stronger. We’ll do our best to ensure it stays that way.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust\u2026 I have nothing to do with this, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlright,\u201d he laughed. \u201cOne crisis at a time though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella nodded as she headed out of the clinic and picked up a pizza on her way back to the building she was sharing. When she returned, there was a small package waiting for her on the side table in the hallway. Having spent the entire day either at school or the small stop at the clinic, she had no idea what it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t order anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrigued and a bit cautious, Bella carefully picked up the small package, examining the pristine envelope. The handwriting was meticulous, elegant, and unfamiliar. As she opened it, a foul, acrid scent filled the air, sending a chill through her bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, she found a handwritten letter, written in a script that seemed to twist and contort with malevolence. Alongside the letter lay a small, ominous-looking pendant, its surface etched with strange symbols that seemed to writhe and pulse with an unholy energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter began:
\u201cDear Isabella Swan,<\/em>

Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a dark object created by one of the world\u2019s greatest minds.<\/em>
Should you have turned, this beautiful pendant will do no harm to you.<\/em>
If you haven\u2019t, well, I suppose all I can tell you is, \u2018good luck\u2019 on the next lunar eclipse.<\/em>
Should the challenges that lie before you become too much for you to bear, I invite you to join me in Volterra at your earliest convenience, where your future shall be decided.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours sincerely,<\/em>
Aro Volturi.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
