Chapter 1

Prologue

Looking left to right, I searched the entire room, but there was no sign of them any where. It was if some one had walked into our house, pulled out every one of our possessions and gently laid them on the floor. Not as vandalism, but more as an obstacle, or a barrier.

He couldn't have done this; everything would have been broken and scattered haphazardly. No, this looked more like the girls had done it themselves. Oh no, the girls knew this was a trap. They knew that we would try and find them , to save them. They knew that he was after us, not them! And they were willing to keep from getting rescued to keep us safe?

They were pulling a "Bella" move, as Emmit like to call it. They were willing to sacrafice themselves to keep us safe. Well, it didn't work the first time, and it wasn't going to work this time. We would find them, and we will save them. But first, we had to get to them before it was to late...

"Hello?" I spoke into a shiny, new cell phone Edward had just thrust into my hand. He had an amused look on his perfect face; the kind of look that usually meant something humorous was about to happen at my expense.

"Hey Bella! Guess what!" Said a perfect voice from the other end.

"Hey Alice! How are you? And…" I closed my eyes for a second to picture what the 'what' part of guess was. "You are at the airport about three miles from here and you have decided to visit!" I squeaked into the phone. I heard a pause then a grunt.

"Know it all." She mumbled. I laughed. "I still haven't gotten used to that you know." She griped. I smiled; she was talking about my new 'power' that I had gotten less than five years ago. I was very much a worrier when I was human, and now that I'm a vampire I always know what people are doing and where they are… and mostly if they are any kind of trouble. However, Alice always found it annoying when I foiled her surprises. That was another perk to the gift; I have always hated surprises, so now I typically can figure out what the surprise is before any one is given the chance to surprise me! Unfortunately, it doesn't exactly work like Alice's gift though; I have to be thinking about that person for me to know.

"Well, now you know how we feel about you." I sang smugly into the phone. I heard her laugh.

"Well, you only got half my surprise! Me and you are going to go shopping in that really huge mall near by! And, to make it all even better, you're not even going to argue!"

"What? No way! I am not going to go shopping!" I said, probably more loudly than I needed too.

"And why not? You and Edward live about ten miles from the Gallaria! It will be fun!" The Gallaria was this over sized shopping mall that sold practically everything. The whole mall seemed like it was much to large to fit in such a small state, of course, it was basically the only mall in the entire state, so that may have made up the difference.

"Alice, I am not going to go sho…" I started, but I was rudely cut off when I felt the phone be quickly snatched away from my ear. I looked up and saw Edward, who now had the phone to his ear, smiling that crooked smile that always made my insides melt.

"Alice? Yes, of course, I will make sure." He looked at me and I did my best to glare at him. However, the force of glare was nothing to what I wanted it to be, but how could I be angry at an angel face like that? Edward was smiling hugely, his strange red hair was messy and his eyes were very gold today. He was giving me his best innocent look as he hung up the phone.

"What?" He asked, had I not known better, I would have thought he was being genuine. But, being married to him for five years I knew Edward far too well to go for that 'what-did-I-do?' look.

"What? You are kidding right? You know I hate shopping. That's the reason we moved to Vermont, the stupid state is supposed to suck on shopping!" He shrugged, grinning. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine, then, but you are coming too."

"I don't think so."

"Of course you are, you silly little vampire. Who else is going to carry my purse?" His smile dropped and he looked at me insanely. Mimicking him, I put on my best puppy face and asked "what?"

He glared for a second, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Alice is here!" I sang as I ran to the front door and opened. I herd him mumble "I know that too." And just as we knew, Alice was standing there, gracefully leaning against the door frame. "Ready? " I asked, she grinned and nodded.

"I have my sparkly red purse in the car, Edward. You know the one that says, 'Hot chick' for you to carry." She sang as she danced to her beautiful, light blue Porsche sitting in the drive way. We laughed, as Edward climbed into the back seat grumbling.

We arrived very shortly and it wasn't long before Alice had dragged me and Edward all over the mall, and back, at least six times. We each supported at least eight bags. Unfortunately they were all for me, Alice had insisted I needed everything from basically every store we passed.

Me and Edward had both grown very tired of shopping, and rather irritated of Alice's giddiness toward it.

"I just wish" Edward grumbled into my ear. "That one of these days, she would realize what a waste of time this is!"

"You know Alice. Once she's going there's no stopping her… Hey! Alice, what do you think your…" I had run into the back of Alice, rather hard. She had a blank stare plastered on her face, and I realized almost at once she was seeing something. She blinked twice, then caught Edwards's eye.

"What is it?" I asked, quietly.

"There are other vampires here." She whispered.

"How many? And what do they want?"

"Two, but they recognize you. They want to talk to you." She said, her eyes weren't worried, so I didn't really know what to make out of all this. Why was she acting so weird?

"Um. That's a bad thing usually… what's different this time?" I asked, looking to Edward. He also had a strange expression on his face. Not anxiety like usual, but it was more of an incredulous look.

"They recognize you from a picture, from when you were fifteen."

"What?"

"They will be over here in a second. You new them, but they were different then, much younger. You'll know who they are, just be prepared. What ever you do don't freak out." Alice warned me. My thoughts started to whirl. What were they talking about? And when I was fifteen? I was in Phoenix then!

"There they are." Edward said with an emotionless face. I searched the room, looking for two white skinned, red eyed people who were searching me out, but I didn't see anyone who fit that description. All I could see where families bustling by, every once in a while I would catch someone doing a second take at Edward, Alice and myself, but nothing unusual.

Then I felt it, a little girl pulled down on my shirt to get my attention. When I looked down I was shocked! In front of me stood two very young, beautiful, identical twin girl… vampires?

"Oh." I gasped in shock when I looked down. "Well, hello." I managed; I didn't know what to say. These girls looked like they couldn't have been more than six, seven years old.

"You're… You're Isabella!" One of them said. I was shocked, they obviously knew me, but I hadn't the slightest idea who they were.

"Yes." I managed.

"You knew our Mommy." The other said, so quiet it was almost like she was whispering.

"I did?"

She nodded. "Our mommy was Tina McGrolen." Then it hit me! When I was fourteen, fifteen years old my mother had tried to get me to be friends with, at the time, her boyfriend's younger sister. Of course we hadn't really hit it off, she was nineteen and I was almost fifteen. But she was very pregnant, and I had come over to baby sit her twins when they were very, very young. Of course these couldn't be them… could they?

"Gabriella and Abigail?" I asked uncertainly. The both looked up and nodded. "Oh my god!" I gasped, and looked up at Edward. I felt my heart break. These girls would have only been six years old when they changed. They wouldn't have ever had a chance to live. They had never had a chance before becoming monsters…

"Bella." He said uncertainly. I swallowed hard, but I managed to keep my composure. "Girls, how did you two get here?"

"We came with the man." One of the two said, smiling. "He said that he thought he knew who we should be with. He's way over there now, though." She said pointing.

"Ya, and I think he heard Abby." The one who was not Abby said. I assume this must be Gabriella. She was giggling. They seemed more relaxed now, more their age. "She said he smelt really bad!"

"Gabby! I didn't mean too! But he did, he reeked!" The other giggled back.

"You came with a smelly man? He knew me and he took you to me?" I asked getting the story straight. I looked over at Alice, to see if she had seen anything. She shook her head no. Then it hit, literally. He hit me softly on the head! And as soon as he had done that, I smelled him.

"Jacob Black!" I squealed. I hadn't seen him in over two years.

"In the flesh." He replied smiling. I, with out thinking, whirled around and hugged him.

"God Bella, you reek!" He exclaimed, playfully holding his nose. I laughed, I always smelled a little bit of a foul smell with him, but being around him so much before I changed defiantly had kept him from reeking to me.

"Shut up!' I said, hitting him on the arm. "What are you doing here?"

"I found these two when I was… er, 'out' thinking that they were intruders. When we saw they were just little ones we figured that we couldn't hurt them, so they lived with us for a little while, but eventually the pack couldn't stand babysitting vampires, so we thought about bringing them to you. Esme's idea really." He explained

"You talked to Esme?" I exclaimed. He nodded and grinned.

"These girls need a home, and parents." He nodded at me and Edward. I quickly looked at Edward, who looked slightly less enthused by the idea of being a parent. Then I looked to Alice, who's face was lit up.

"Of course I'll be the godmother!" she grinned at me. Right that instant, it had hit me. I had made one decision; Edward had made the exact opposite one. However, this was one fight that I refused to loose…
