Edward's POV

Josh and Anthony were up and ready to go. It was their first day of school. Bella and Esme had home-schooled them for the last 14 years. They were half vampires and grew at the normal pace. As I read everybody's thoughts, the name Elizabeth kept popping up. Elizabeth, Bella and mine's daughter; Josh and Anthony's triplet. If only the Volturi hadn't have come.

They took poor Lisabeth and told us they were going to put her in with a normal family. They wanted to see if she could keep sane while growing up with humans. We never saw her again and never heard any word of her. As we arrived at the school, a suburb in Iowa, I noticed that our cars would not be too out of place. We walked in and I heard a tinkling little laugh, almost like a vampire's. Jasper must have heard it too because he looked at me and thought.

Is it another vampire?

"I don't know" I said in a voice that only vampires could hear.

The girl looked up at me as we were really close to her and her friends now.

"I'm sorry, what don't you know? I could help you find your classes or what not." She told me.

My family gasped softly but she ignored them. Impossible, she had a heartbeat.

"He didn't say anything, Av." One of her friends told her.

She blushed deep red and I finally saw her eyes. They were chocolate brown.

"Excuse me." She told me as she dragged her friends out of the room.

I could still hear them.

I swear I heard him say something! The girl said.

Avery, this can't be happening again. Do you know anything about your past that might have something to do with supersonic hearing and taste or something? Her friend asked.

My family and I found a table to sit at as we listened. I felt Bella squeeze my hand and I looked over to see tear that would never fall.

"It's okay love." I told her.

I heard a sob and then heard Avery stutter out some more.

I j-just wish I-I knew something about th-them. I'm s-sorry. I shouldn't c-cry. I'm so glad you are m-my best f-friend, Laya.

They then walked back into the room. I saw Avery glance at us as they walked by. Avery was quiet for a few moments more when they got back to the table but then jumped right in again with the conversations.

It's her. It has to be. - Emmett

Our sister. Avery? They changed her name?! – Josh and Anthony

Oh Edward! Our baby, that has to be her. I just wish we could explain it all to her. – Bella

The bell rang for first hour and I watched as she picked up a violin and French horn, one in each hand, and walked off toward her locker. She followed me and was a musician. Cool. The rest of the day I continued to see her throughout the school.

She looked stressed but I noticed she had a lot of friends. She also wore a purity ring and a bracelet that said 'saved for my spouse.' I was glad about that. Emmett noticed that she wore a tiny Saint Cecile necklace.

Jasper said that her emotions were very mixed up. It was at my locker though that something extraordinary happened. Alice raced up to me, her mind so jumbled I couldn't read it.

"Edward!" she said, "I was following her and a couple of her friends. She turned to her friend and said 'Math'. When her friend asked what she meant, she told her that she had asked what class she had next. The girl never said anything! She must have read her mind!" Alice almost softly yelled at me.

I didn't know what to do until she walked around the corner with her head down. She was clutching her books and her heart beat harder as the bell rang. She was late for class, yet she didn't hurry. I quietly followed her to the student phone.

"Mom," I heard her say.

"Avery, what's wrong. Shouldn't you be in class?"

"Something happened. Can you come and pick me up? I can't explain here. Please mom." I listened to her beg.

It broke my heart to see my baby with tears running down her face. The lady agreed and Avery was off. She hurried to her locker without noticing me. She had her books stuffed in her bag and was at the door waiting in nothing flat. The others had gotten their things and mine and were in the car waiting. I was the only one left.

"Hey." I said and she jumped.

When she looked at me, I saw fear in her eyes.

"Hi." She said softly.

"I'm new here. My name's Edward, what's yours?" I asked.

"Avery." She told me.

"Well, what are you doing Avery? It's the middle of the school day." I said.

"My mother's picking me up. Something happened." She looked at me out of the corner of her eye.

"What?" I asked as I stepped forward.

"Nothing I want to talk about." She said shaking.

Her head then snapped up at me.

"In the lunchroom earlier, did you really not say anything? I could've sworn…" she asked as she trailed off.

"Yeah, I said something. It was too high pitch for your friends to have heard. You, on the other hand, are like me. Why don't you come to our house to speak to my family? We can explain some of the weirdness in your life." I told her.

"I don't know…" She said hesitantly.

Luckily, Bella and Alice came around the corner.

"Edward?" Bella asked.

"This is my sister Alice and Bella. They will be there tonight too." I told her.

"Well… I guess so." She said.

I handed her our address and heard her mother's thoughts.

What's wrong now? Oh I hope she didn't get into anymore trouble. What if something odd happened again like the faucet incident?

I watched as a red mini-van came into the parking lot. She turned at the movement and exclaimed

"Oh, there's my mother. I have to go. Thank you."

She ran out of the school and quickly got into the car. Time to go home and explain to Carlisle and Esme.
