Chapter One: My angel.
It's been four months, one week, two days, seven hours, fifty-seven minutes, six seconds, and still counting since he left me. Even now I can't think his name. It hurts too much. I have been lifeless for the longest time.
I looked down at my bandaged hand. I had hurt myself when I was clawing out the stereo they gave me. It was the one gift he forgot to get rid of, but I couldn't stand to look at it. It was just another painful reminder of what will never be.
I slumped over to my desk and stared at my finished homework. I didn't do anything anymore. I didn't read, I didn't listen to music, I didn't hang out with my friends. I avoided anything that reminded me of them.
Suddenly the air was thick. Sort of humid. I felt another presence in the room, and knew it wasn't Charlie. It was too early for Charlie to come home. I didn't bother to turn around, if it were a murderer, and I were to die, than it wouldn't matter because the central core of my life has already been removed. I was just like a big and empty space, with nothing there. My sun was gone, but I still had to please the other planets, or in other words, my family, friends, and teachers.
An icy hand laid on my shoulder. I looked up in hopes of one of the Cul—them, coming back. I was completely shocked with who I saw.
Her beautiful pale skin contrasted against the darkness of my room—which actually reflected my life—and had a glowing aura around it. She was tall and beautiful and wore a beautiful, long, white gown, and had a peculiar hair color. Not only was it peculiar, it was familiar. Too familiar. Her hair was reddish brown, like bronze…Her emerald green eyes stared down sadly at me. I instantly knew who it was just from description.
"E…Elizabeth…Masen…?" Elizabeth Masen was Ed—his mom. After the incident I had been told about his mother. I was told he looked very similar to his mother.
But why was she here? She was suppose to be dead!
"Hello Bella," she said in a musical voice. Her voice was like…a piano composition, very musical, and so similar to his voice.
"Elizabeth Masen…you…aren't you…"
"Dead?" I nodded.
She smiled a soft smile, almost crooked… "Yes Bella, I am dead. You want to know why I am here correct?"
I was too stunned to talk, so I nodded again.
"You see Bella, when my son left you, he left behind a very big mess. Not just you, but Victoria…Laurent…the werewolves…"
My eyes widened, "Werewolves?" I squeaked.
She nodded, "Yes Bella, werewolves. The legends from La Push are all true. Not yet, but soon you will be best friends with a werewolf, several werewolves actually."
"How do you know this?"
"When I was chosen to be your guardian angel, I gained ability. It was sort of like the change for a vampire…I have a power similar to Alice's." I flinched. "I can see the future, but I can only see your future, and mine. I can only see what is set in stone, and your befriending a werewolf, is most definitely set in stone."
"Alice," I cringed at saying her name, "Told me nothing is set in stone…"
"She was wrong, and right. The future is not set in stone, or at least, not all of it. Your destiny, is not engraved into tablets, but whatever happens in your life that is destined to happen, will happen. Like how you were meant to come to Forks and meet my son. That was set in stone. And now your befriending of a werewolf will also be set in stone."
I nodded, "So you are my guardian angel, but what does that do?"
"I am suppose to guide you through your life, and be sure that everything goes as it should. In an alternative universe, I probably do not exist, and how you get through your life then is very difficult…and stupid. In this universe I am here to make sure you get to the same finish, but through a smarter and safer way."
"And what is that finish?"
She smiled grimly, "Death."
"How do you get to death safely?"
"Bella, there are certain things I cannot tell you. Like how your life finishes. I am not even allowed to tell you whether or not this ends happily or not…in fact, even if I could, I couldn't because your future as of now is not set in stone. There are still several decisions you have yet to make."
I nodded, "Well can you tell me who the werewolf is?"
She shook her head, "It is not my secret to tell, I'm sorry."
"So, if you are an angel, how can I see you?"
"Well, when my son left, I was determined to guide you to your future, but just by simply controlling what happens wouldn't work. You see, as a guardian angel, I can control things, such as weather. If you are going to get in a crash, then I could make the weather so you would not want to drive to wherever and you would not crash."
She scowled, "Like that time Tyler's van came at you. I made it icy so you would be cautious, but that ended badly."
"But anyways, I was abstract, so for the past, how long have you counted? Well, for that long I have been training to be human, so I can be concrete. That was why my skin is icy. I am basically like a vampire, but I don't drink blood, sparkle, change eye colors, or anything. In fact, I will be returning to my seventeen year old body so I may go to school with you and help you make your choices."
"Wow, déjà vu," I muttered. It really was déjà vu. I was going to school with a stone hard, ice cold, stuck at seventeen, incredibly beautiful, bronze haired person who can't die.
"Well Bella, I must be going now, see you at school…" Elizabeth faded into nothingness. I must be dreaming. This could not be real. I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes. Darkness swept over me as I was removed from my numb state.
"Bella…Bella…" said a soft chiming voice.
I cracked my eyes open and saw a beautiful girl standing over me. She had a pallid skin tone, emerald eyes, and loose bronze ringlets tied up in a pony tail. She wore an outfit that would make Alice proud of her, whoever she was. She had on a thin black, long sleeved shirt that went up to the beginning of her fingers and was off the shoulder, there were pale green straps that held it up, and she had on a mini skirt that matched the color of the straps, and last she had on thigh high white stockings and black shoes. (sorry, but I don't talk clothes and wearer. No images sorry)
"Who are you?" I asked in a groggy voice.
"Do I really look that different?" She asked.
I squinted, "Elizabeth?"
She grinned, flashing her pearly whites, "That's Eli to you!"
I sat up. She looked so much like him. This would be a long day…
"Well, Eli, why are you wearing that kind of clothes in Forks?"
She grinned wider and pulled open my blinds, letting the dull yellow light shine in the window. It was actually sunny!
I gasped, "It's…!"
"Your welcome," Eliza—Eli said pretending to shine her nails.
"Bells, you up?" I heard Charlie call, "Hey Bells, um, Eli said she was one of your best friends from Phoenix and Phil's god daughter, so I let her up, is that okay with you?"
"Yeah dad, of course!" I said enthusiastically.
He was shocked for a moment and then smiled warmly at me. He left the room as Eli flittered to my side, "So Bella, come, come, we must get you ready for school!"
Eli pulled a dark purple ¾ tailored shirt (picture on profile) and black flared jeans out of a large shopping bag and then ripped off the price tags. She shoved the clothes in my arm and forced me into the bathroom. I pulled the clothes on and then walked outside only to be spun around and into my room. Eli sat me down and then pulled my hair into a neat pony tail. She grabbed my arm and my bag and then pulled me downstairs.
"Well Charlie, we will be going now!" Eli called as she dragged me out the door.
"Bye girls!" He shouted as Eli closed the door. She walked over to a shiny silver car. She opened the passenger door and zipped over to her side of the shiny silver car. It almost reminded me of his car…
"What kind of car is this?" I asked feeling a sense of déjà vu again.
"An M6."
"I don't speak car and driver."
She laughed, "It's a BMW." She started to pull out of the driveway. I was really starting to feel déjà vu.
I paused, "You know for someone who is older than Ed…Edward," I choked on his name feeling the seams of the hole ripping wider, "You sure do act a lot like a teenager."
She laughed, "Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I can't be cool."
"So do you have a license?"
"Yes I do, it was in the training after all."
I nodded, "So, Phil's god daughter?"
She nodded.
"Won't it be odd that you look so much like…Edward did?"
She shrugged, "I'll just say my biological mother is Edward's mother's cousin."
"I guess that'll work…Hey wait a minute, where did you get the money for all of this stuff?"
She threw her head back and laughed, "We guardian angels need money for when we go 'human' and all, and we have people who are exactly like Alice. We also have some friends who can control the stocks."
I nodded, "Mother and son alike…" I mumbled.
She laughed at this. She sped into the school parking lot and screeched to a stop causing everyone to stare. She opened the door and stepped out, giving all the girls a blow at their self confidence. I opened the passenger's side and everybody gasped.
"Is that Bella Swan?"
"Who's the new girl?"
"Check out the car!"
I walked Eli to the office and we got her schedule. She had all the same classes as me. We walked off to English. I went to m seat in the back as Eli spoke to the teacher. She came to the back and sat in the seat Edward once sat in. Everybody gasped and we rolled our eyes.
"Hey Bella," Mike whispered. I anticipated his next words and I was right, "Are you coming to work tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is Saturday isn't it?"
He nodded, "So it is…um…do you know who that is?"
Eli waved at him. He looked like he was dazzled. I stiffened at the old term I used for what he used to do.
The bell rang and the teacher called order to class.
"Everyone, we have a new student. Her name is Elizabeth Masen, please stand up and tell us about yourself."
Eli grunted and stood up, "My name is Elizabeth Masen, obviously, but I prefer Eli. I'm eighteen years old, I like to play the piano, and read." She sat down and crossed her arms.
Class went on fairly boring, as usual. All the classes went on as is, the only other class she had to introduce herself in was Trig. We made our way to the cafeteria and sat down at my usual table. Everyone went silent. Jessica spoke first.
"Hello, I'm Jessica Stanley, and you are?"
Eli looked over at me. I soon caught on. She wanted to pretend she was shy, so she wanted me to introduce her.
"Guys, this is Elizabeth Masen. We were best friends in Phoenix and she is Phil's god daughter," I said. Everyone was silent. I hadn't spoken in months, so it probably shocked them.
"But she looks so much like Edward Cullen!" Lauren shouted. I flinched. Everyone had learned not to say that name around me, but Lauren never liked me so she didn't care.
"Yes, because my biological mother was the cousin of Edward's biological mother," Eli lied smoothly, "And by the way, call me Eli."
Jessica's mouth hung open, and then she grinned, "Eli, I think we are going to be great friends!"
I rolled my eyes.
"Wait; if you're related to him, then do you know why he ditched Bella?" Lauren asked. I just noticed she had cut her corn silk hair.
Eli glared at her, "Wouldn't a small town like Forks know? Carlisle got an offer in LA and they all moved." Lauren rolled her eyes and turned to Tyler.
Angela leaned over the table and whispered, "It's good to have you back Bella." I smiled back warmly at her.
"Oh joy, Bella's back!" I heard Lauren say. I childishly stuck my tongue out at her when she turned around, causing Eli and Angela to laugh.
They day went on as before, boring and uneventful. Eli drove me home and we worked on homework together. Then she left and said she would be back tomorrow.
"Wait, where are you staying?" I asked.
She smiled grimly, "You don't want to know."
"It's fine, just tell me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Alright then, I'm staying at the Cullen's house." I froze. She was right, I didn't want to know.
"Ah…alright then…see you tomorrow."
I went into the kitchen and busied myself. I pulled out a fish from the freezer and started to thaw it. I quickly made fried fish and then sliced some mango as the rice cooked (Sorry the only dishes with fish I know of are the Asian kinds, unless its fish sticks, fish sandwich crap, etc.)
Charlie came home just as I had finished setting the food on the table. We sat down and started eating.
"So that Eli girl, real nice…" he said trying to start conversation.
I nodded, "She's the best."
He smiled, "You know Bells, it's nice to see that you are moving on…"
I shrugged, "I don't know, it's like whenever she is around, I feel so happy…" Maybe because she is a reminder of him.
"Yeah, but I'm sort of worried," he swallowed, "She kind of looks like…him."
I nodded, "Yeah turns out that they're related. Her biological mom, and his biological mom were cousins."
"So Bella…do you mind if Billy and Jacob comes over tonight?"
My eyes lit up, "Yeah, that'd be cool, I haven't seen Jacob in ages! What suddenly brought this out?"
"Well I noticed you were in a better mood this morning, so…" he trailed off as he stuck another piece of mango in his mouth.
The rest of dinner was silent. Charlie offered to do the dishes so I went upstairs and lay on my bed thinking about why I was so happy.
Was it because Elizabeth was a way to always remember him?
Or maybe because she was such a kind and loving person?
It was hard to explain, something about her just made me happy. I heard a car door open and then slam shut. I sat upright. Billy and Jacob were here!
