Zach's P.O.V.
I looked again at the solid silver picture frame on my side table. I smirked remembering that Cullens don't get anything fake or that's not the originals. I grabbed it and brought it closer to me. I stared sadly at the picture it held. My mother was in the center, sitting on a hospital bed with me in her arms. Dad was in her left, holding my twin sister. The Cullens, Hales, Denali clan, Renee, Phil and a grimacing Charlie surrounded my two smiling parents. I looked at my sister. Jacqueline Isabella Cullen was her name, and I was Zachary Edward Cullen. Yeah, I know, strange names, but mom and dad took turns naming us. I sighed, leaned my head against the wall behind me, and closed my eyes looking back to that day. I concentrated on that time in history and I felt the all too familiar feeling of falling. The next moment, I found myself in the hospital I was born in looking at my family huddling around the two new parents.
The nurse put me in Bella's arms while Edward held Jackie. All of a sudden, everyone burst into the room squealing, congratulating, and making comments about us.
"So, what are their names?" Carlisle asked gently, holding me in his arms. Camille looked at me curiously, wondering how a vampire could have a child.
"I like the name Jack..." Edward started.
"But I like the name Zach!" Bella protested, holding me tightly when Carlisle gave me back only to take Jackie in his embrace. Andre and Camille exchanged a look of amusement and disbelief.
"Okay love," Edward chuckled. "He will be Zachary-"
"-- Edward Cullen." she interrupted. "And our little girl will be Jacqueline-"
"-- Isabella Cullen." Edward finished. Carlisle gave her back after kissing her forehead. Both of them looked lovingly at us in their arms.
"I like the name Zach too. He can be Zach-attack when he's older." Emmett said enthusiastically. Edward rolled his eyes and kissed my forehead.
"Jacqueline!" Alice and Rosalie sighed.
"That's such a pretty name, Bella!" Rosalie praised.
"I know! And we can take her shopping and spoil her like we do to Bella," gushed Alice .
"And we can give her makeovers and dress her up too!" Rosalie chimed in delightedly.
Bella sighed and glanced worriedly at Jackie. "But you two don't know if young Jackie will share my dislike for all that stuff." She pointed out.
Alice smiled and tapped a finger to her temple. "Ah, but I do know." She winked and laughed her musical laugh.
About two hours later, everyone except Edward was sent home and we were put to bed in the nursery. A few moments later, the door opened and Jacob Black stood in the doorway of the nursery. He stepped over to where we were quietly sleeping. His eyes inspected me, disgusted, but when his eyes moved to where Jackie was resting peacefully, his breath caught in his throat. Jackie looked a lot like mom and Jacob would never be able to get over her. Suddenly, Jackie was in his arms and he was running out of the hospital with her.
I was wrenched back into the present by my alarm clock screaming 7am . Sixteen years later and we still haven't found her. She was with Jacob, so Alice couldn't see where they were, and they disappeared the day my parents found out she was gone. I groaned and opened my eyes. Three inches away from my face was Emmett.
"What the heck?!" I jumped. "Do you not know the meaning of 'personal bubble'?"
Emmett laughed and leaned back sitting on my bed. "Hey Zach-attack! What were you watching?"
"Ever heard of knocking?" I ignored his question and glared.
"I did, but you wouldn't answer. Then, I called out your name several times and when you didn't respond, I panicked." He gestured casually towards the door. It was completely torn off its hinges and was now leaning against the wall.
I exhaled loudly. Now, they were worried that anytime I was left alone in a room, I could be taken away too. "Esme is going to kill you." Emmett shrugged and walked out of my room. "I'll miss you!" I called after him. I could hear his booming laugh from the hallway. I let my thoughts wander back to Jackie. I often wondered what her powers would be, since I could travel to any time in the past or present. Rarely in the future though, it depended on the circumstances, and I could levitate small objects. I always thought that we would have the same powers, and someday, I would find her and our family would be complete again. I looked at my clock. 7:45, it read, and unless I got ready and ate breakfast in 15 minutes, I would be late on my first day of school. I pulled on my favorite jeans and a brown t-shirt. I grabbed my brown baseball cap and rushed out of the room.

Jackie's P.O.V.
"Jackie. Jackie! Ugh, Jacqueline Isabella Black, wake up or you'll be late!" I heard my dad call. He shook me, but I stayed frozen with sleep.
Then, I heard a loud noise in my right ear.
I screamed and rolled out of bed. I looked around, dazed, for the source of the sound only to find my annoying kid brother, Andrew, holding a siren and laughing his head off. I swear that that boy is the devil in a kid disguise. He even looks like one! Sure he was cute, but weren't all those evil guys in movies and stories cute? I was also convinced that he was only wearing his shaggy jet-black hair in spikes because he was covering up his horns, and his "innocent" blue eyes were just for show. Behind them, he was plotting against me.
"Andrew!" I screamed. My hair was a mess and I looked like a wreck. How dare he! I grabbed a pillow from my bed and threw it as hard as I could at his head. I watched as it hit its mark and sent him tumbling backwards. I sniggered triumphantly and watched as his blue eyes filled with fury and he ran out of my room.
Dad came back into my room after hearing a loud thump. "What happened-" he sniffed the air and his face contorted. He seriously looked like Quase Modo when he did that, I'm not playing. "What is that smell?" He looked around the room and his eyes fell on me. "Jackie, go take a shower or something. It stinks in here!" His nose wrinkled again.
"What?!" What was he talking about?? "Are you sure it's me? It could be your son." I sniffed the air, it did smell bad. It smelt like a wet dog.
He shook his head. "No, Jackie, go take a shower. Now."
I narrowed my eyes at him. Sometimes, when I concentrated hard enough, I could actually get him to forget things, like what he was getting mad at me for. I didn't try that now though, I was just too upset and it was my first day of school. I growled and stomped to the bathroom.
After a half hour of drying my hair, I went to my closet and pulled on a red and black checkered skirt and black leggings. While I was puling on a black tee, I thought about my life so far. Ever since I was one, we have been moving from place to place, not staying in one area for more than one year.
I had always thought that I didn't really belong in this family. No one understood me. At times when my dad and I would get into huge fights that made me think that we were supposed to be enemies, not father and daughter. I always thought I was adopted because I wasn't dark skinned, and had golden-brown hair that waved down to my waist; my bright green eyes contrasted with my family's dark brown ones. Dad would always joke that he kidnapped me when I was born, but somehow, I felt as if he was telling the truth.
I dashed down the stairs and ran into Andrew playing on his DS. "Boo." I said casually. He jumped, startled, and stared at me wide-eyed.
"Where'd you come from?"
"I'm pretty sure you talked about it in school. But if you insist, when two people love each other very much, they have to-"
"I didn't mean it that way!! I'm going to be scarred for life now!" Andrew covered his ears with his hands and trudged up the stairs. I pranced into the kitchen to find my mom cooking waffles, bacon, and eggs. The typical American breakfast.
"Mmm! Smells good, ma." I pecked her on the cheek. I grabbed my book bag hanging on a chair and took a buttered waffle with me as I rushed out the door. "I'm going to walk today, 'kay? Thanks, love you, bye!" I ran outside to face my first day of school.

Zach's P.O.V.
I climbed into the back of Rosalie's M3. After I told the folks about my visiting the past to see Jackie, everyone got depressed, grieving for their lost child. Alice went with my parents since she wanted to talk to them privately. Jasper slid in next to me as Emmett and Rose slipped into the front. The car ride was unusually silent and grim.
When we got to the school, I was the first one from the clan inside. I entered my homeroom and sat down in the back with the only people like me. Camille and Andre were new to the Denali coven, only having lived with them for two years. As I sat down with a glum expression, they exchanged a look.
"So," Andre began trying to draw my attention to them. "Have you heard that we are having a new student?" He ran his pale fingers through his short black hair.
"She hails from Oregon , and I heard she's very pretty…" Cam trailed off suggestively. I glared and threw my hat at her. She laughed, her red curls bouncing and caught it with ease. She slipped it on her head as the teacher claimed the attention to the front of the room. The next three periods passed by in a blur and before I knew it, I was standing in line to buy my lunch. I sat down in an empty table in the far back and began wolfing down my pizza as Cam and Dre sat on either side of me. Camille wrinkled her nose in disgust and began to fan herself with my hat. I hadn't noticed that she had had my hat for most of the day. "How can you eat that?" she looked at my half eaten pizza in abhorrence. I shrugged and kept on eating.
"Yes. How can you be eating?" Dre asked, amused as I finished the last of my pizza and went for the apple.
"Gramps says that I'm half and half, so I have human necessities, but when I turn eighteen, the venom in my blood will spread so I will become a full vampire." I whispered the last part. People would think I was a huge nut if I said it loud enough for other people to hear. Camille handed my hat back and I pushed it on my head as the senior Cullens joined us.
"Hello, Camille. Andre." Mom, or Bella (I couldn't call her that in public. People would get suspicious as to why a seventeen year-old girl has a sixteen year old son) said politely.
"So, Zach, what're you doing for your birthday?" Camille asked innocently. I looked at Edward for help, but he just smirked at me.
"Um…yes…" Bella and Camille glared, and Jasper and Emmett snickered at me. "Alright, no. I don't know yet, but I definitely don't want to party with a bunch of succubi." It wasn't that I didn't like Denali girls, they were really nice. It was just that they used to try to seduce me; it always got awkward at their house.
"Aw! But they promised not to try anymore!" Cam whined. Edward coughed to hide his laughter.
"The problem is that they tried in the first place. I'm only sixteen, and that experience will stay with me for as long as I exist." I shuddered at the memories.
"Fine." Camille pouted, obviously displeased and turned to talk to Rosalie about the new shoes they just had to have.

Jackie's P.O.V.
"So, Jackie, how are you liking your first day?" a short girl with curly brown hair and blonde highlights, named Brianna, asked as we sat down with five of her friends. Everyone at the table turned their attention to me.
"It's…good." I smiled half-heartedly. The kids surrounding me stared. Now, I've been told that I was pretty, but I didn't understand why the guys were close to drooling. "So," I began, trying to force their attention to anything other than me. "Anything I should know about the adolescents in this school?" Each teen at the table named themselves and the others around them.
"So, how are you liking your first day?" a blonde named Damon asked intently. I looked at the girls with an eyebrow raised.
"I just asked her that, you idiot!" Brianna snapped at her friend. To me, she apologized. "I'm so sorry; this moron hits on any girl he doesn't know." He glared at her and flushed crimson. He suddenly became interested in the slice of pizza he got but didn't touch.
A bleach-blonde named Maddie, abruptly gasped. "You need to tell her about the Cullens!" she cried excitedly. Cullens? That name sounded familiar… oh yeah, dad and mom used to get into arguments over something about the Cullens finding them. Hmm…interesting.
"Cullens?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, they are the hottest family ever. They look like freaking gods!" Maddie gushed.
"The only problem is that they are all taken. The only one available is Zach, but he doesn't date," a red-head named Ashleigh pouted. She obviously got turned down by him.
"They are also the snobbiest, richest, and smartest family in town." an Asian kid in glasses, named Jon, added. Maddie's eyes swept the cafeteria and Brianna pointed them out. There, at the far end corner of the cafeteria, sat the gorgeous Cullen clan. They looked familiar, like I'd seen them a long time ago, but I barely remembered them. I turned my attention back to the table I was currently sitting at. Everyone's eyes rested longingly on the Cullens.
Pathetic.
"Hey, why don't you go say hi to them?" Maddie unexpectedly asked with a wicked gleam in her eye. Ashleigh looked at me with a challenge in her eyes. I looked at Brianna, only to find her silently communicating with Damon. I looked back to Maddie and sighed.
"Fine." I said curtly, getting up to throw away my uneaten food. After dumping my food very slowly, I took a deep breath and walked over to their table.

Zach's P.O.V.
I was asking Alice about Mr. Rudi's class when her eyes glazed over and she stopped listening to me. When she finally came back to the present, she started giggling animatedly. I looked at her inquiringly, but she shook her head and began to bounce in her seat. I looked to my dad; surely he knew why Alice was acting peculiarly. Okay, she always acted strangely, but right now she looked way too happy. Edward's face was paler than his usual pale and his eyes were widened in shock. Just then, a girl with golden-brown hair and brilliant green eyes identical to mine walked up to our table. Her every movement was graceful and unnatural, and her beauty was beyond human. The only explanation was that she was a vampire, but not only that, it was Jackie. "Hi," she said awkwardly.
