I looked at Edward and frowned. He didn't look right. His eyes were all wrong; they were a deep ruby red and they stared at me as if they had never seen me before.
"Edward?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" his syrupy voice asked.
"Edward, its me, Bella."
"Bella. Hmm, I don't seem to recall knowing a Bella."
The lump forming in my throat froze, as did my plea for recognition. He didn't recall knowing a Bella? How could that be? I certainly knew him. I mean, when you meet someone as beautiful and different as Edward. You don't forget them. I guess I knew that this would happen. Somebody as ordinary as me, I knew he would eventually forget about me.
"I see." I mumbled.
"I'm sorry, you seem to know me, but I don't know you." He said, taking a step forward. "But you do smell simply delicious."
That I was used to. Vampires telling me how appetizing I smelled was an everyday thing in my life.
But Edward not knowing me, now that I didn't like.
"Edward." My frown deepened as his crooked smile dazzled me, even though it didn't have its full effect this time.
"Yes?" he asked, inhaling my scent.
"Are you still a good…"
"Bella!" a voice sang out.
I turned to see Alice bounding gracefully toward me.
"Alice." I murmured, she seemed to remember me.
"Hey Bella!" she wrapped her arms around me.
"You remember me?" I asked, hugging her back.
She pulled back and frowned, then smiled. "Of course I do." She glanced anxiously at Edward. "Why wouldn't I?"
"Because Edward doesn't." I whispered.
"Oh?" Alice frowned again. "Edward?"
"I'm sorry, you are…?" he smiled apologetically.
"Alice? Bella? What's wrong?"
The crease of confusion in my forehead deepened as I turned to face Edward and all his god-like beauty.
He glided to a stop and kissed me lightly on my check. Then he wrapped an arm around my waist and turned to face his apparent clone.
He froze more than ever and took a deep breathe before growling out a single word, or name. "Edwin." He hissed.
"Hello Edward, my dear brother."
I blinked. "Edward…Edwin…is your…he's a…" I fumbled. "Huh?"
"Alice, Bella, meet my…twin brother…Edwin." He hissed the name between his teeth.
Alice and I gasped at the same time.
Two Edwards? I didn't think that was possible. I should have known better than to think it was.
