I had a secret. I wonder how long it would take for anyone to realise that secret. My daughter Clare is 17. The age I was when I moved to Forks. She is more and more like her father every day. My daughter and I live in England with many other vampires. Yes, I'm a vampire; I have been a vampire for about 18 years now.

It seems just like yesterday that I was found by the Franely's. They took me in as if I were family. Now here I am, Isabella Franely, sitting with my daughter, looking at the people on the ice rink down below. Their happy faces, the families sharing the joy and me and Clare, just sitting here looking at them.

People from around us just kept on sitting down and getting up, until this one couple just sat down next to us. They didn't move for a long time. They weren't talking out loud but I could here them talk to each other by thought. How could it be? Were there other vampires in the town that Clare and I didn't know about?

I couldn't risk the fact that they could find out about my secret. I got up and told Clare to come with me. But when I looked at her she was talking to the other group of people. Clare wasn't allowed to have real friends in case they found out our secret but she was always looking for people to talk to. She was deep into conversation and realise me getting up.

It was like she was introducing me to the group because she turned around to find me. I wasn't there of course but I was now beside her. "Oh, and this is my…" I had to stop her.

"Um, I'm her sister, Isabella. Izzy for short."

The girl looked at me. She looked awfully familiar. "Nice to meet you Clare and Izzy. I'm Alice and this is my… well, by brother was here a minute ago. I don't know where he has gone."

Oh no! Alice, I was just talking to Alice. I hope she doesn't realise me.

"Um, Clare we have to go. We have some…" Come on think of a good excuse, "We have some visitors coming over. So, sorry but we must go."

Where was Edward? He just left me. I'll kill him. What will he say when I tell him that I found Bella?
