Summary:
Did you ever wonder why Bella was so comfortable around vampires? After meeting someone she never expected in the clearing after Victoria's death, Bella hears a story and realizes her acceptance of all things supernatural may just....run in the family.
*Attention - the story has been given a makeover! Chapters have been deleted and it is starting new and fresh and how I wanted it to go - but the idea is still the same, just a little different look.*

This is Isabel's POV for the next few chapters or so, from her human life. She's 15, almost 16 at this point, in England in the early 1800's.

Yeah, so I'm a liar and didn't update like I said I would. And B and E didn't fit in this chapter like I thought, so they're starting out the next one. Sorry!
And happy late birthday to me. :) I made cupcakes that looked like monkeys and took them to the classrooms I work in and my middleschoolers told me they looked like bears, then mice, then dogs. Three guesses later they came up with monkeys. The elementary kids didn't care, they just scarffed them down.
Oh well. :)

Sorry it's been a bit - I've been sick and busy and hurt my back. I work in a kindergarten clasroom with itty bitty tables and chairs and hurt my back so badly I couldn't sit in the same spot more than a few minutes.
Enjoy!

If you read my story before I revamped it, you'll recognize this chapter. I really liked it and though it fit in here. Enjoy again!

Yes, well, I still live. I regret that I've been busy plus more in the mood to read fanfic than write. When the site went down I went through withdrawls. I actually had to spend time with my husband. It was horrible. :) Well, I hope people are still reading this despite my absence!

Well, here's another chapter, much quicker than I thought, but mostly because I'm stuck in my house from YET ANOTHER SNOW STORM!!! AHH!!! I have things to do, people!
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Here it is, the next chapter. I really am horrible at updating but work is back in session and working with kids never really gives one a lot of free time. Plus, I had to change some things after I read a lovely review by Anya. I tried to reply but it got confused, but anyway, she said she didn't realize that Carlisle knew about Bella and was going to read the story again, which made me go back and read and realized I never included that. In my mind I had this meeting and Carlisle knew but had kept it a secret ...however, you're not all privy to my mind, so I had to rewrite. And also, to kate_and_garrett, in case you didn't get my reply, this is fanfiction, more specifically, fanfiction written before Breaking Dawn came out. When I submitted the chapter to my lovely twilighted beta qjmom that revealed Isabel was Marcus' granddaughter, she promptly moved it to AU since it wasn't a SM thing, vampires getting humans preggers...and then a few weeks later we were all shocked and confused. :)
I hope that clears it all up for any who were confused, and if you are, please, don't be afraid to say something. I'll try my best to fix it.
Thanks to all the lovely reviewers who always make me laugh - you guys are great especially those like hhawkes who I am so happy she finally had all her questions answered and Jace Nox whose reviews always make me laugh.
On to the story now, I've rattled on enough, but one more huge thanks to qjmom who catches things I've forgotten were even in my story. :)
