UPDATED (9/16/10): PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING!

So... This story is on Hiatus as of today. I am really sorry this story didn't go long before going on Hiatus. Reasons... do you wanna know? I mean they're really just excuses. So long story short, I am taking way too many classes this year. I mean I don't even have a lunch time. Too many honours and APs and... I really don't have extra time to work on this. If I do get some time (which I probably won't) I might continue this. If I don't, I'm sure you'll know.

Thanks to all of you who stuck with this story, even if it was only 7 chapters... I mean I've got until chapter 25 written up. I checked, like yesterday. So yeah... Sorry :(

-Iris-

This chapter is a little longer than the last one and we get to meet the wonderful Salena Masen. So lets get this going!

Thanks again always to my beta Tic Toc Tic Toc

Chapter 2

"Come on." Salena grunted, "Raining again?"

Seattle was so rainy… too rainy, she decided. Salena focused on the clouds above and, using her weather manipulation power, forced the clouds apart. Soon a few rays of sunshine peeked through the clouds, and Salena let out a small cheer.

"Yes! Go vampire powers!" she squealed.

She restarted her car and drove down the road, stopping at a café. She got out of her car andstepped into it, the aroma of coffee enveloping her as soon as she entered. She took a deep breath and sighed.

She went to the cashier and ordered a French Vanilla coffee. She stood there waiting for her order as the boy at the cashier, his name tag saying Ted, ogled at her, especially her chest.

Salena hadn't chosen the life of a vampire, and she wasn't really given a choice to begin with. She hated being the type of vampire she was, a half vampire. Part human, part vampire. Part vampire, part human.

She looked the same, no sparkly skin, and her eyes didn't change colour, a bright cheerful shade of green. She could consume food, she needed it. Her skin was as soft as a baby's, and she was not too pale but not tanned. But those were, of course, her human sides. Her vampire sides were bothersome even more. She needed to drink blood, human blood. Animal blood didn't work for her. She had tried it, of course. She was good at running, had heightened senses, weird powers and she was beautiful.

She sometimes wondered if the gods had cursed her. The beauty was great, but why couldn't she be just one? Human or vampire? Vampire or human?

But then she thought about what she had done to come all this way. Feelings of giving up and defeat were overwhelming, but she'd come so far and the possibility was too great. The chances still present. Her search for her brother could not end now. Her search for Edward could not end now.

Salena drove into the parking lot of the school. As she got out she heard the bell ring, signaling the end of school. 'Perfect,' she thought as the first kids came out. She leaned onto her Lamborghini and put on her sunglasses. The weather she had manipulated had resulted in sunshine over Forks, the wettest place in this whole state.

"Oh my god! Is that a Lamborghini L640?" she heard a whisper.

"Yeah, it's a real Lamborghini! Fucking hell!"

"That girl is so hot man. Is she new?"

The whispers flashed through her mind as they continued. A few seconds later, Salena started to eavesdrop on one particular conversation.

"She looks exactly like one of the Cullens." she heard a whisper from a blonde girl passing by.

"Edward, right?" 'Edward! Those girls were talking about Edward!'

"Hey!" she stopped the girls "Who're the Cullens?"

"You heard that?" the blonde one asked

"Yeah, good hearing." she smiled, improvising. How could she be so stupid? Jumping in like that…

"You don't know who the Cullens are?" The other girls asked

"Yeah. I'm kinda new here." Salena said shyly.

"Well, the Cullens are children of Mr. and Mrs. Cullen. They're adopted though."

"They are so hot though. So beautiful…" She saw in the girl's head, flashes of them and… JACKPOT!

"So they go here?" Salena asked excitedly

"Yeah… There they are now!" the first girl pointed.

Salena looked at the door and there he was.

She had found him.

Edward and Bella were walking down the hall. Bella seemed very tired to Edward, like she hadn't slept very well. Whenever he asked her if she was okay, she would answer that she was fine, even if she looked terrible. If he could just read her mind, everything might be better. Just in time, Edward saw Bella about to trip and caught her by her arm.

"Thanks Edward," Bella said.

"No problem, love," Edward told her in reply.

They continued walking down the hall in silence.

"Bella are you really o-"

"I'm fine Edward!" Bella screamed. Edward stopped walking and looked at her as she stood there shocked as well.

Edward had observed Bella for a few days. She had gotten dark circles under her eyes and her steps were clumsier than usual. She seemed to find everything annoying and snapped at people when they tried to talk to her. He noticed her dozing off in class, even in English where they were reviewing classics.

"I'm sorry Edward. I-"

"We should go see Carlisle Bella. We'll go straight to the hospital. I'll call him now." Edward took out his phone and…

The scent of peaches and lemons overwhelmed Edward as he opened the door. His throat burned, his eyes turning black. His hand dropped the phone and went to his throat. He looked sideways at his siblings and saw that it was also affecting them, whatever it was. But that question was answered when Edward looked around and spotted her. She stood out like a dot on a blank white page. Addison Salena Masen… Edward saw her looking at him and scrabbling for her keys and getting in a bright yellow car.

"Edward! Everything's blank! Gone!" Alice cried, attracting attention.

"Alice, take care of Bella! I gotta go!" Edward yelled at her as he ran to his car. Bella locked into Edward's eyes and saw many emotions. Shock, surprise and... fear?

"Edward!" Bella screamed, her facial expression displaying a mixture of emotions, chasing after him. "Edward wait!"

"Bella I'll come back okay? Go with Alice! I love you!" Edward screamed at her as he sped away after the Lamborghini.
