"No more darkness, and no more night."

Ethereal hated what had become over the course of her 17 year life.

Ethereal grew up too fast, and everyone around her encouraged it because she is, for the lack of a better term, a genius.

Ever since Ethereal was a toddler, she was active learner, and a troublemaker.

But no matter how smart she was she couldn't figure out her sister Isabella. It had been a couple of months since she last been in her presence.

Eight to be exact.

Renée, their mother, wanted to check up on her estranged daughter when she was in the hospital. She was unconscious and sedated for most of the visit, which mostly consisted of Renée and Isabella crying.

She woke up three days after they left, completely healed. 'The Miracle Child' is what the doctors of Forks Hospital called her.

To ensure that she got emotionally better, Renée began calling Tuesday at 3 o'clock on the dot. Isabella only called when Renée forced her to. Those conversations were less than five minutes long.

Back to the point, Isabella and Ethereal aren't close. Isabella was a closed book while Ethereal was so open no one could really make sense of her. Hell, Isabella's future plaything, Edward Cullen, has a hard time figuring out her mind even though he can hear everything she thinks.

Ethereal and Isabella also didn't look all that similar which caused a major drift in their relationship. Ethereal had naturally curly brown hair which she dyed a mixture of blue and purple. Isabella's hair was brown as well, but straight. Plus, Ethereal has electric blue eyes with a moss green surrounding the pupils. The recessive colors come from her father's side of the family. Meanwhile, Isabella had just regular brown eyes. In addition, Isabella is sadly pale which is odd since she lived in states known for sunshine. Ethereal, on the other hand, has an all year round tan. Making her look Hispanic.

As the years grew by, Ethereal began growing tired of always explaining that Isabella was her fraternal twin—people are really ignorant when it comes to the variety of twin types—so much so that she just stopped identifying her as family. Her lack of patience toward people frustrated was a factor of that disassociation, and future disorder. It was cruel, but then again Isabella and Ethereal haven't really associated with each other since their tenth birthday party. So, no hard feelings actually occurred.

But, nonetheless, Isabella was back home in Forks, Washington, and became infatuated with the Cullen's, aka the Boo Radley equivalence of a family.

Charlie, the twin's father couldn't have been any more happy, even though he never showed it. He's a bit emotionally unavailable. He wanted this time to be different. So, he asked Ethereal to make Isabella comfortable as she could in Forks. That was basically mission impossible for Ethereal. Considering the fact that Isabella doesn't vividly express her opinions.

It didn't matter because Ethereal was eternally indebted to her father. If that meant that Ethereal had to pretend to want a stable relationship with her emotionally unavailable sister then, why not? Ethereal and Bella agreed that every day before school for atleast 15 minutes they would be near each other.

Today was one of those days.

Bella was reading something while Ethereal grabbed her dance duffle bag that she forgot while leaving this morning from the back.

"Hey, Izzie I—"

Edward ran across the parking lot, and pushed the van away from Bella. The close intimacy of their position made them extremely unaware of anything except themselves.

But it was, a scream that filled the silence that surrounded Edward and Bella's moment.

They turned to look at Ethereal who was stuck between Bella's truck and Tyler's.

The Cullens quickly fled the parking lot as the smell of blood met their noses.

"ETHEL!" Bella yelled completely ignoring an apologizing Tyler as she rushed to her sister.

Ethereal tried talking to her sister, but the only thing that came out was blood.

"Oh, my God!" Jessica said as she came rushing in as well. "I'm calling 911 right now!"

And at that moment everything went black for Ethereal.
