FAITH | E.D

I.

My name is Bella, my mother gave me that name because her grandmother was called that and she was a strong woman who never went down.
But I did, exactly 15 years ago.
I'm 23 years old now and I'm back on my feet.
I died at the age of eight and a new Bella was born.
I would have loved to hide somewhere and spend my life in the darkness but that was not an option for me because my father's blood will not remain on the ground.
My father is under the ground and I am here, here as a completely new, vengeful and dangerous Bella or better said as FAITH.
That's my new name, to leave everything behind I had to change the only thing I had left and take on the a new name.
Here I am now, 15 years later as Faith.
You killed Bella but thanks to you Faith came and I will be your end.
Did you hear that?
Grayson, Cameron, Jennifer, Paul and last but not least, Ethan. I will be your end. ( Jennifer and Paul are their parents in my story, I didn't want to be disrespectful and include Sean's and Lisa's names. rip Sean, you'll always be loved. )
Here I am, in my dark room, boxing against the sack of sand as the past caught up with me.

*15 years ago*

Bella's POV

"Mom, I'm scared" I said while I was scared in my bed "Bella there is nothing to be afraid of as long as I'm here" my mother replied but of course that didn't calm me down.
My father's on a mission with Ethan's mother right now.
The two are policemen and have a mission tonight where I'm afraid they won't come back.
Whenever Jennifer and Dad go on a mission, Ethan, Grayson and I meet at our tree near the park.
It was already dark but I had to go out to the twins.
So I quickly took a candle and matches and quietly left the house to meet Ethan and Grayson under the tree.
Once I got there, the boys were already sitting with their candles and waiting for me.
We always light candles and pray for our parents while they are on missions.
By the time I got there, their candles were on, but Grayson was asleep, as usual.
I sat next to Ethan and we encouraged each other that everything would be fine and just waited.
I was so tired that I fell asleep by accident but I didn't sleep for too long because Ethan woke me up and told me to stay awake. Gray was awake too.
Ethan and I had a strong bond, of course I was very good with Grayson but Ethan and I were very good together.

Adam's POV (Bella's Dad)

I turned to Jennifer and whispered, "Are you ready?"
She nodded and pulled out her gun.
I gave a signal to Simon, our colleague, that he should turn on the camera, because this is a secret mission and the authorities need to see whether we did the right thing or not.
We moved on and on in the quiet and watched as the businessmen packed the drugs and luckily the boss was there, too. Jennifer gave me the signal and we stormed the huge hall.
Everywhere were lights but it still seemed very dark and it was freezing cold in there. Jennifer shouted "Hands up, POLICE!" and the men immediately pointed their weapons at us, but their boss told them to take their weapons down.
Then they put their hands up and we arrested them, but this surprised me because it was so easy, easier than I thought.
"Something's wrong here, this can't be it." I whispered to myself.
Jennifer didn't notice, because she was staring at all the money in the huge bags next to us. So much money in one pile, this money could help Jennifer to bring Paul to expensive hospitals because he is sick and they need money and every help they could get could save his life.
I think all of this went through her head when the boss said "a lot of money or not? You can keep the money. I'll get my return anyway, because the policeman who's going to arrest me doesn't exist yet."
When we brought him and his men to the car, we discovered our colleague Simon on the floor.
The camera was next to him on the floor.
The camera was shattered and he was covered in blood.
They killed him.
They killed Simon.
Before the whole thing got out of hand I had to act so I took the camera and brought the men further out.
This mission was done here.
That's what I thought.

The day after

Bella's POV

"Ethan come sit next to me" I shouted as I sat at the table waiting for my father to bring us the meat from the grill.
My family and Ethan's family gather every Sunday and we always barbecue or eat together.
Ethan smiled and sat next to me but Jennifer called him.

Ethan's POV

"Ethan, come here for a second" my mother called and I went to her to ask her what was going on.
„We're playing a game now, okay? But you can't tell anyone, Ethan. Not even Bella or Grayson. This is a secret game." She said and I nodded because I really wanted to know what this game was about.
She gave me a small brown package wrapped in duct tape and asked me to hide it behind the fireplace in Bella's house.
I did it without a doubt and with the thought that it was a game and sat down again at the table with Bella's mother Lauren, Brandon, Bianca, Grayson and Cameron. Dad couldn't come because he was sick in bed.

Jennifer's POV

"Too bad the camera broke" I said to Adam and he replied "the camera is broken but I have the SD card here with me."
That's when my mood sank, there must be no evidence of this night.
I made a deal with the boss to give me the money and give Paul the help he needs and take him to expensive hospitals.
In return I had to betray Adam and make it look like he killed Simon and that's why this video has to disappear.
It HAS to disappear at all costs.

Bella's POV

Suddenly I heard loud sirens.
Police sirens.
I didn't know what was happening, so I got up and went to my dad.
I could see in my mother's eyes that something was wrong.
The policemen went into the house and searched the house until they found something behind the fireplace and what they found was a brown package.
They opened the package and there was a white powder in it.
Then they immediately arrested my father and said, "Adam Wand, because of the fact that you are working with the enemy and hiding his goods in your house, you will be arrested for treason and for the murder of your colleague Simon McKeen."
I, as an eight year old girl, knew exactly what was going on and right there my world was falling apart.
I thought it couldn't get any worse.
My mother screamed and begged them to let my father go.
Jennifer didn't have any emotions on her face but Ethan looked at his mother totally questionable but this was not my topic at that moment.
They arrested him.
My father got arrested right in front of me.
I yelled at the policemen "LET HIM GO, MY DAD WOULDN'T DO THESE THINGS. HE WOULD NEVER!" and clung onto my father's leg.
He looked at me and said "Everything's going to be fine Bella. "
I wouldn't let go of him and the policeman pushed me and I fell onto the ground, my right hand landed in the glowing coal and it burned my hand.
I got up and ran after the police car in pain, I ran as fast as I could but the car was too fast.
I thought it couldn't get any worse, but I guess I was wrong, really wrong.
