The Future…

I made my way through the corridors. I was currently in the newest night club around, Back To The Future, with my boyfriend Edward Cullen, and my 2 best friends Rosalie and Alice. Rosalie was flirting with a guy at the bar, and Alice was dancing with her boyfriend, Jasper. I had just been talking with Edward, when Mike, a guy from school who was obsessed with me came up. I was currently now trying to hide from him.
"Bella? Where are you?" I heard Mike calling from somewhere behind me. I quickened my step and walked straight into Mike. He caught me.
"Bella? Are you alright? Why are you running away from me?"
I turned on my heel, and walked away. I opened the first door on my right and slipped inside. I listened carefully. Footsteps walking past the door. I sighed in relief and tried to open the door. It wouldn't open.
"Oh no. This can't be happening." I rattled the door handle but it was well and truly locked. I banged on the door with my fists.
"Is anyone there? I'm stuck in here! Someone please help me?" I called out but there was no reply. I checked my watch. It was midnight. Edward must be wondering where I had got to. I sat down getting ready for a long wait. I looked around the room. It was a small room, no bigger than a storage closet but it was completely empty except for a panel in the far corner with some buttons on it. Curious, I walked over to it. There was a big purple button on top of two smaller red buttons. I fingered them but did not press them. They could be dangerous, but on the other hand they could help me open the door or alert someone to help me. What was the worst that could happen? I took a deep breath and pressed the purple button. Nothing happened. I sighed. Now what? Then suddenly the room started shaking. I was thrown to the floor. I screamed. The floor shook for what seemed like forever until it finally came to a halt. Cautiously I stood up. Nothing had changed, the room looked exactly the same so what could have happened? I reached out my hand for the door handle, and pushed. The door swung open. I looked outside, and shrieked.

Gone was the corridor from where I had entered this strange room. In it's place was a pretty little garden. I turned around and the room had gone! It seemed like I had just stepped into this garden from nowhere. Just then, a little girl ran into the garden. She was small with spiky black hair. She looked really familiar but she can't have been more than 5 years old. I didn't know any 5 year olds.
Confused, I stepped towards her.
"Umm… Hello, I'm Bella Swan. Can you tell me where I am please?"
The girl completely ignored me. She carried on playing with a teddy bear she had brought with her. I walked towards her and tapped her on her shoulder.
"Excuse me? I'm really sorry but I don't know where I am. Could you help me?" I asked, but yet again she acted as if she hadn't heard me.
"Caitlyn? Come on. Lunch is ready…" A woman called out. The little girl ran inside the open door. I followed her and knocked on the door Caitlyn had just run through.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" I called. No-one answered. I peered in through the open door. Standing with her back towards me, was a woman who I assumed was Caitlyn's mother as they looked so alike. I stepped inside and walked over to the woman.
"Excuse me? I'm not meaning to be rude, I did knock, but can you help me?" I asked. Like Caitlyn, the woman ignored me and walked over to the table and served lunch to Caitlyn. The woman turned around. I gasped. It was Alice!
She walked straight towards me. I smiled and waved.
"Alice! I'm so glad to see you here! Do you know where we are? Where did the club go? What happened?"
Alice just walked straight through me. It's a weird feeling to have someone walk through you. I shivered. What did this mean? I didn't exist anymore? I looked carefully at Alice and realized she looked different. She wasn't the 19 year old I had seen dancing in the club but she must have been at least 30.
What had happened?
"Mummy, I wan some ketch!" Caitlyn cried.
"Yes, darling, here you go." Alice handed her some ketchup.
Mummy? Alice had a daughter?
Just then I heard the front door open.
"Alice?" a man called.
"In the kitchen, honey" Alice replied.
Caitlyn jumped out of her chair just as a golden-haired man came into the kitchen.
"Daddy!" Caitlyn yelled before throwing herself at the man.
"Heya Princess! Eating lunch?"
Alice smiled at the man before kissing him on the cheek.
"So, how was work Jasper?" she asked.
"Same, same…" he grinned.
Of course. The man was Jasper. Alice's boyfriend, or husband it looked like…
I left them their chatting to explore the rest of the house. As they couldn't see me, I didn't think it would be too much of a problem. I went into the living room. There were pictures everywhere, some of Caitlyn and others of Alice and Jasper. I picked up a dusty photo album. The first few pictures were of their wedding. I recognized Rosalie as one of the bridesmaids and the guy Rosalie was flirting with at the bar next to him. Alice had labeled the picture.
'Rosalie and her husband Emmett'
Husband? It seemed like everyone was married. The next picture showed 3 men in suits, grinning at the camera.
'Edward, Emmett and my husband Jasper'
My heart ached when I saw Edward. Where was he now? Was he married too? Angrily brushing away tears, I turned the page to see my own smiling face. It was a picture of me, Rosalie and Alice at graduation. We all looked so happy. I put the album down and leafed through the others scanning the titles.
'My Wedding' 'Caitlyn's 1st Birthday' 'Rosie's Wedding' 'Bella' 'Caitlyn's 5th Birthday Party' 'Graduation'
My breath caught in my throat. Slowly I pulled out the album named 'Bella'
The first page showed me, Alice and Rose as 5 year olds. I smiled. We all looked so innocent. I flicked through the first few pages which all showed me with my 2 best friends. The next picture was the one with me and Edward. He had his arm around my waist and was smiling his crooked grin. I sighed and turned the page. There was our whole gang. Me and Edward, Alice with Jasper and Rose with Emmett. That was taken in 'Back To The Future' just before everything had happened. The next page showed a newspaper clipping. It was faded. As I read the headline my breathing became more rapid.
'Girl Goes Missing At Night Club'
Underneath was a picture of me. The caption read,
'19 year old Isabella Swan who went missing at 'Back To The Future'
Isabella Swan went to the bathroom and never came back. Her friend, Mike Newton talks. "Bella asked me to meet her, and so I followed her to a room where she went in. I opened the door but she wasn't there. I looked all over but I just couldn't find her.
Isabella's mum, Renee talks to us. "I know she's alive. If anyone has any details please help us find her."
Everyone is very worried for her.
I read the article a few times. This couldn't be happening! The article was dated 10 years ago! I had been missing for 10 years!
"Mummy, ghost!"
I whipped around and saw Caitlyn pointing at me. I realised that all she would see was this photo album floating. I quickly placed it back just as Alice came running in.
"What do you mean, sweetie? There's no-one here!"
"No! Photo floating!" Caitlyn started crying.
Alice hugged her and took her away. I looked at my watch. It was nearly 2am. I looked at the clock Alice had placed on the mantel piece. That said 8pm. I suddenly realised how tired I was. I'm sure Alice wouldn't mind me sleeping here. Wearily, I climbed the staircase and opened the first door. It was completely decorated with Barbie toys. This must be Caitlyn's room. I kept checking the doors until I found a room that looked like a spare room. I sunk into the bed and closed my eyes. Then it suddenly hit me. I had travelled into the future!
