Bella's p.o.v.
Nine bloody hours later we arrived at the Elder Tower. Nine! I knew it was a bad idea to swap and let Jayden drive half way here.. or what was supposed to be half way here.
I pulled my full sized duffelbag up on to my shoulder and just held my half sized one by my side. A smile crept onto my lips as I looked up at my true home; as much as I love Kyron and consider the Pack house my home, this will always be my real home. This was the first true home I had after mum died, those people in there, they were the people to save me from... my past. Man it felt good to be home!
"Ready?"
Jayden took in a deep breathe before answering "always".
We pushed open the huge mahogany doors leading inside, all eyes were on us. A cheeky grin spread across my face as i caught Jayden's eye and sucked in as much oxygen as my lungs would allow.
"WE'RE HOME! " Jayden and I shouted in union grins spread across the room.
"Isabella!? " A happy voice called. I'd know that voice anywhere. I let everything I was holding drop to the floor before sprinting... without supernatural spead... to my best friend. I leaped at him and he easily caught me in a hug spinning me around.
"I've missed you so much!" He mumbled into my shoudler as he let me down.
"I've missed you too Evan" I smiled pulling out of the hug " and don't call me Isabella!" I told him hitting his chest "you know I hate it!" He rolled his eyes at me.
"Always so dramatic Iz" I glared at him, he had always called me Izzy or Iz, he's the only person allowed to call me that. Very few people know my full name, I hate it! Mainly because it was named after my 'father's' sister.
"Belly?" I heard a small voice ask from behind Evans leg.
"Rebekah" I breathed crouching down to the small child's height. She stepped out from behind Evans leg and fell into my arms knocking me backwards so I was now sitting on the floor.
"Is Jay Jay here too?" She asked looking up at me through one blue eye and one green eye.
"Mhm shall we go see him?" She nodded enthusiastically she'd always preferred Jayden, but that didn't really bother me.
I lifted myself and the five year old child up a walked back to Jayden and all my stuff.
"You've got so big Beka, what are you... 5 now?" I asked
"Yes!" she nodded happily, the last time I had seen her she had only just turned 2, it seemed like just yesterday.
"JayJay!" She suddenly squealed leaping from my arms to Jayden. I smiled as I saw Jayden embrace her, there were so many emotions mixed into that hug; happiness, protection, love.
I felt a tear drip down my cheek as I took in everything I had forgotten the smells, the colors, the people. I hadn't realised how much I missed this place, until now.
"I'm going to go put my stuff in my room" I told Jayden before heading in the direction of the maze like corridors.
I remembers the route to my bedroom like I had walked it yesterday, I guess somethings you just don't forget.
I pushed open my door expecting to see my room with all my things in it and my bed still made from the last time I had slept there like it usually was... boy was I wrong.
I pushed open the door and my eyes wandered to a scene I did not want to see. A topless guy hovering over a girl just in underwear doing... well things my innocent eyes did not want to see!
"Fuck! Sorry!" I called before slamming the door shut a shouting "EVAN!"
I heard two sets of footsteps thundering down the corridor along with burst of giggles here and there. An out of breathe Evan and a perfectly fine Jayden - whom had Rebekah on his back - appeared infront of me a few minutes later.
"Izzy? What happened?" Evan asked bending over struggling for breathe.
"Evan. Do you really think if I was in danger, I'd have time to to call for help? Come on, give me some credit! I'm a bloody Mikelson!"
"Well, what did you need then?" Jayden asked
"Yeah Belly! What did you need?" Rebekah asked
"I don't need anything!"
"What's the matter then?" Evan asked
"This! This is the matter" I said pushing open the door to reveal the exact same scene as before except they had moved on to my bed and the girl was fumbling with the guys belt buckle.
"No no no no no!" I shouted storming into my room "Not my bloody bed!" Two shocked faces stared up at me as I shoved them both off my bed, I looked over at Evan.
"Care to explain why two people were fucking in my room!?"
"I have no idea! Iz your room has been empty for three years! No one would think to look here, it was inevitable for people to come here to... uh... get away"
"Couldnt you have padlocked the door or something" I whined lumping down on my bed and then quickly standing up again as I realised what had just happend on it.
"Bella?" I looked down to the two people currantly scrambling to get up.
"Mark?" Shocked I went over and hugged him.
"Yeah" he chuckled
"I thought you left?"
"I did" he replied.
"So why are you here?"
"I came back"
"Any particular reason or..? " I pushed
"I kind of nearly died so"
"Right. And your with Emily now?" I observed, my tone changing to one of disgust.
"Yup" he nodded.
"Hay Bella!" She sang. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Get out"
"Excuse me?" She questioned sounding offended
"Get. Out. Now." I told her pointing to the door.
"You don't have to be mean Bella" Mark told me
"Actually! I think I have plenty of reason to be mean! And if your gonna pick her side, you can go to!" I told him, hurt he'd picked her over me.
"Come on Em" Mark said before leaving my room.

"Man have I missed this food!" I groaned shoveling another fork full of curry into my mouth. "Thankyou Alezaveta that was amazballs!"
"Spasibo" (Thankyou in Russian) "Eto priyatno videt' vas domoy"
(Its nice to see you home) I smiled in reply.
When Jayden and I first arrived here I took an instant liking to Alezaveta, she's like a mother to me she took me under her wing the moment she saw me and I will forever be grateful for that. She taught me Russian, a little bit everyday, I picked it up pretty quick, and I was speaking it fluently in no time, there wasn't many people here that took the time to learn Russian for Alezaveta so I guess I did it to repay her for everything she does for me.

"Bella can we talk?" Mark.
"Fine"
Mark lead me to his room, it hadn't changed a bit. "Look, I'm sorry for moaning at you for being mean to Emily, it's just things have changed, I love Emily... I really think she's changed." He pleaded. But I couldn't. I could ever be nice to Emily not after everything she put Jayden and I through.
"I'll believe that when I see it."
"Please Bella! Just try. Try to see how she's changed and not allow your hate from the past blind you! " he begged.
"Mark! She put Jayden and I through hell when we came here! Our mother had not long died, and we'd just escaped from torture! You can't blame me for hating her! She was a bitch!" I explained "do you know what my last memory of her before we left is?"
"No... but it can't be that bad" he tried convincing me.
"She stopped me just before we left, looked me dead in the eye and said 'I hope you get hit by a bus... so you die... just like your mummy did'" I recited the memory staring emotionlessly at the wall past Marks head.
"I didn't know... I didn't know she could be that bad"
"Well now you do. But I'll try and see if she's changed... for your benefit but only for your benefit, and not for her." I told him before walking out and blurring to Jaydnes room.
