The past has a funny way of catching up. I never thought I would see my sister again and then she walked into my art class with him. It was a year after my dad had died. She took a seat at my table, seeing as it was the only one with two open seats. I stared at her trying to catch her eye. She was so different. Her hair had highlights in them and her eyes were no longer the chocolate brown of our father. She looked my directly in the eye and frowned. "Can I help you?" she snipped. She obviously didn't know who I was. "Yes you can. You can remove yourself from my table. No on sits here. NO ONE." I hissed. She held my gaze but the he touched her arm. "Come along, love. We can find other seats." He said. She followed him to a different table and sat down. She shot me a glare just as my brothers walked in and took the seats on either side of me.

They weren't actually my brothers. We just had become really close over the last year. "Hey B. How's it going?" Chris asked. "The new kids actually tried to sit here." I grumbled. "Pissed you off?" Chase asked. They were twin brothers who were so different. "What do you think?" I asked. He frowned and I heard his thought in my head. "Did you hurt them?" I laughed and shook my head. He constantly worried about me. "Hey Swan, do you mind if I actually teach today?" Mr. Bennett asked. "Whatever dude." I sighed as I sat back in my chair.

The entire class period I could feel their eyes on me. I brushed it off by laughing and joking around with Chris and Chase. When the bell rang, we headed out into the hallway and she bumped into me. She sent me sprawling and I glared at her as I hissed under my breath. "At the next stroke of the 12th hour, you will forget the ones you love until you remember those you left behind. If you do not complete this task, you will suffer this fate for all time." I kept my eyes locked on her to make sure my threat hit its target. My brothers helped me up off the ground but not before I noticed their eyes on him. I brushed off the dust and headed to my next class.

The day was pretty uneventful until lunch. I could tell that my spell had worked because Bella kept brushing him off. I sat at the table with my brothers and laughed. "So you made her forget and we made him fall in love." Chris asked. I nodded as I laughed again. "Which love spell did you use?" I asked. "Eternity." They replied in unison. I hated it when they did that but what could you expect from twins. "Mind if I join you?" someone asked and I looked up thru my bangs. The person I had least expected to talk to me was standing there. I looked at my brothers to get their approval but they just shrugged. "Sure, sure, Jasper. Have a seat." I said. "How do you know my name?" he asked. He sat right across from me and blocked my view of Bella. "I know all about you and your siblings." I said. "Like what?" he asked. "That your vampires. You only drink animal blood, that's why your eyes are gold. I also know that Bella is my wicked half-sister." I stage whispered. He looked taken aback before he composed himself again.

The entire cafeteria seemed to go quiet. It was actually quite loud in reality but the vampires stopped talking, bringing the noise level down a decibel or two. All of the Cullens, except Bella and him, got up and moved to my table. "I don't remember saying you were invited to sit here." I snipped. "We invited ourselves." Rosalie said back. "You're welcome to sit here anytime." I smiled at her. She rolled her eyes and I knew we would get along just fine. "How do you know all of that about our family?" Alice asked. I rolled my eyes at her. "You're Belly's half-sister?" Emmett asked. "First off, what kind of nickname is Belly? Second, I established that five minutes ago." I snipped. They were really starting to annoy me. For vampires they were really dumb. "That was mean." Alice said. "Guys, does it look like I care whether it was mean or not?" I asked my brothers. "Nope." Chris said. "Not really" Chase said. I gave Alice a pointed look and gave a wicked smile as the words formed on my lips. "Those who treasure prosperity shall now know what it feels like to live in poverty. Let the lesson be learned or never again shall the money be earned." I spoke while keeping my eyes on Alice.

They continued asking questions for the rest of lunch but I answered with smart comments or not at all. They eventually gave up and I went to class. I had 8th period gym which I shared with Bella and Emmett. Bella was always glaring at me when I looked up, while Emmett kept sending me blinding smiles. I laughed in disgust and headed to the locker room to change before the bell. "Hey B." Chris said when he caught up to me. "What's up?" I asked. "Mom said you are welcome to dinner if you want." He offered. "No thanks. Maybe another time. There is a football game on and I have money to collect from suckers." I said. "Rain check granted. See you later." He said. I headed off to my car only to be stopped by Jasper. "What?" I asked. "We need to talk." He said.

I have no idea that those four words would change my whole life.
