"Oh the weather outside is frightful..."

Bella sat in the guest room at the Gilbert house, rolling a pencil up and down her desk as boredom settled in like an old friend come to call. Resisting the urge to sigh for the umpteenth time, she slapped her hand down on the pencil and picked it up. Moving to a blank piece of paper, she proceeded to pepper it with little random dots, the thunk of the pencil hitting it marking each passing second.

The thought of where her cousins were crossed her mind once again, but she batted that away, mostly unconcerned with whatever drama Elena and Jeremy seemed to be caught up in – and there certainly was something, she knew. While she'd never really gotten along with Elena, she and Jeremy had always been tight and therefore he'd been easy to read when she popped up on their doorstep out of the blue the other day. Excited, concerned...worried and fearful...The emotions had crossed his face one after the other, Elena's expression broadcasting distaste and annoyance on top of that.

She and Jeremy always stayed in contact. Though years could sometimes pass between visits, it was always like no time had passed at all for them and they just picked up where they'd left off. Elena was more of a bitter pill for Bella to swallow. A strong sense of entitlement had always followed the girl and while Bella saw that a lot of her actions were done in what she deemed was best for others, a large part of her – especially recently – had no respect for someone who refused to allow people to decide for themselves. Someone who stole people's choices away because they 'knew better' than them.

It brought to mind Edward and his family, a large reason she had showed up on the doorstep the other day completely unannounced. Him leaving her in the woods was both the worst and best thing to have ever happened to her. Over a month of mourning had passed, of sitting in her room as nothing more than a shell, a husk of the girl she'd once been, before life bled into her body again. The weak shaking of her limbs settled, her mind cleared, and all at once she realized what had happened – what had been happening for months without her knowledge.

"Everything about me draws you in – my face, my scent..." Edward had said.

She didn't know he'd meant it quite so literally.

Her symptoms after his departure were in line with an addict going through withdrawal. As her body shed the need for his presence, realization set in, along with anger. Who knew if she'd ever really loved Edward or his family? She certainly held no love for them now. All she knew for certain was that their very nature had paralyzed her, drew her in and tied her to them – against her will, with their knowledge? – there was no way for her to know for certain.

But as her anger grew and Victoria started popping up, she decided it hardly mattered. Carlisle was a doctor, for fuck's sake, a scholar who had studied their species for centuries. They had to know what their presence had done to her – what their leaving would do to her. Yet they'd abandoned her all the same without so much as a fuck you very much...At least Eddie had said goodbye, if one could call the shit he'd shoveled on her that night a goodbye.

It hadn't taken Victoria long to appear after that, likely knowing of the Cullens' departure and wanting to target the weakest link of the group. Then Bella had discovered the wolves and her mind turned to the possibility of other supernatural beings...witches, ghouls, maybe traditional werewolves and vampires? Odds were they were out there, and she became determined to find a creature capable of killing a Cold One as it appeared Jacob and his puppy friends were crap at it.
