Ταυτότητα

Ταυτότητα means identity in Greek.

Identity is the key, without one you are lost in the world, but when you have to hide your true identity, and take on a new one, complications arise. "The sun may rise in the east, but may not always set in the west" in other words, no one can truly see the future, that is why the words 'mystery' and 'unknown' were created.

"The unknown is the known, yet it remains the unknown"

Life is not always fair.

Preface;

"Ms. Cullen we assure you that you will be in best hands, Mr. Hale, and Mr. Mason are the best students this school has seen," His robotic voice told me.

I nodded.

The scenery passed at a steady rate. Trees blurred, cars passed by, the common head turning to look at the uncommon car beside them. Sighing I sunk back into my seat.

Sure my life was great, huge house, tons of money, but like the saying, despite how cliché, 'money can`t buy you everything'. I wasn`t allowed a normal life, I was forbidden to step outside the gates of my home unaccompanied, not like I could go anywhere, in any event. Always in the lime light, people trying to get information on your personal life. If the information was no good, they would spice it up.

Not my idea of the perfect life.

I didn`t notice the car had come to a stop, and the door open waiting for me to come out.

"Ma'am"

I stepped out of the car. One quick glance at myself, I still needed to look in order. Good, I smiled to myself. My white Prada blouse still tucked neatly into the black pencil skirt, I had purchased not too long ago from Fendi.

"Ready?" His arm bent at the elbow, waiting for me.

I nodded, slipping my arm into his.

My DKNY heels clicked along titled floor, ever so often you would see the odd person staring. I could only imagine why.

Thick wood doors opened on our arrival.

"Ms. Cullen this is Mr. Hale and Mr. Mason"

Holding my head high and pulling on one of my many masks, I nodded.

"I'm assuming you already know who I am, and why you're required to be of service, so I don't see the necessity of a long speech"

"Straight to the point, I like that, Mr. Mason will be your 'twin'-"

Cutting in, "Wait hold up there, 'twin' no one said anything about having a twin"

"Well we figured that he looks more like you than Mr. Hale-"

I cut in once again, "Then who was Mr. Hale going to improvise as?"

"Your boyfriend, but since you are against Mr. Mason being your 'twin', we can have Mr. Hale be your stepbrother, and Mr. Mason can take the role as boyfriend"

"What!" I'm sure that even people outside heard my scream. "Why can't they both be brothers? Or just friends of mine?"

"Two friends stalking you everywhere you go? You need variety, you can't have too many of one persons, so who shall it be?"

"Ask my father I don't want to deal with this; I have an appointment at noon, bye." Spinning on my heel I left.

Why can I not just go to university like a normal person?

""""""""""""""Few days later"""""""""""""""

"I'm sorry that we can't come with you, but we trust you," Tears streaked my mother's face. "My little girl is growing up"

"I'll miss you mom" Kissing her cheek.

Her arm engulfed me into a hug, "Alice, I love you"

"Love you too mom, well that's it, bye" I turned to leave but was stopped by her arm on my own.

"Alice before you go, your father and I wanted to give you this," She handed me a small black box. "He's proud of you, and sorry he couldn't make it"

The mention of how my father was away instantly soured my mood, trying not to let it show, I said farewell and climbed into my car.

The scent of the leather interior brought some ease to the troubles in my life.

Mr. Mason drove my car at a horribly slow pace, but then again slow for me if going 10 m/ph over the speed limit. Glancing in the rear-view mirror at my crying mother; I let out a quiet sigh.

"Quite a journey ahead of us, don't you think Ms. Cullen"

"Alice, please call me Alice, and yes I agree with you"

"Alright Alice since we are on the first name basis call me Edward," He glanced at me. "Did your father tell you how this is going down?"

"No" Anger was present in my voice, but Edward didn't comment on it.

"Well then you and me, twins-"

I mumbled my protest, too out of it to really care.

"Hale will be our friend, we'll make up a story on how our parents are friends"

"Alright, fine, anything else?"

"I presume you're enlightened to minor details such as your last name, our parent's names, and also know that we will not be in dorms but locate in a condo near campus," I nodded confirming his assumptions. "Good, couple of thing you might need to know, Hale and I will be armed, not always but on some occasions, you will be accompanied with one of us at all times, but as long as you are within range of sight and a respectable distance away from us, you may chat or do whatever is needed in private with friends or teachers."

"Makes sense to me"

"Yes, and one last thing, for safety precautions if you ever for some reason are separated, from us, we have fifteen minutes at maximum to find you before the place becomes swarmed by federal agents, please keep that in mind."

I took a deep breath, this was a lot to take in, even after I left home, given a new identity I still wasn't allowed freedom.

The hum of the engine, the feel of the road and the soft melody Edward whistled allowed me to rest.
