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-
I repeat, once again, if you read my story, please leave a review! I want to know what you think about it. I'm not trying to be mean, but if I don't get at least 7 reviews for this chapter, I'm seriously going to cry (Figuratively speaking) and I won't upload another chapter in quite a while.
Thanks always to my wonderful beta Tic Toc Tic Toc.

Chapter 3
"Goddamit!" Edward exclaimed as he came to a stop. She was four cars ahead of him. Four! Why did she drive so fast? What was she even doing here? Thousands of questions ran through his head, so many that he couldn't even think straight. On one hand, Salena was back. Salena, his little sister that he had lost so many years ago. On the other hand, the guilt of leaving everyone behind, especially Bella, without an explanation of the situation hung over him.
He let out a frustrated groan as the light turned green and he raced ahead of the other cars and caught up to her, nearly getting in a car crash. He tried to read her mind but surprisingly he came to a blank wall. As if she could read his mind, she stuck out her hand and formed in it into a thumbs down.
"Screw you!" he growled hitting the steering wheel, causing the horn to honk, knowing she would hear.
All he heard in response was a short laugh. She stuck out her hand and formed it into a phone and immediately, as she wanted it to be, Edward thought of his phone and phone number. Soon enough Edward felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Flipping it open he saw that the number was hidden.
"You tricked me!" he screamed at her.
"Can't say much for you, Edward." Her voice replied causing so many memories to rush back to him.
"Answer this for me, why can't I read your mind?"
"Because I have a shield, why else?"
"Then how did you read my mind?"
"Because I have the mind reading power."
"You have 2 powers?" Edward asked astonished.
She laughed "I have a lot of powers" she said and sped ahead.
Edward grunted and sped up to match her speed.
"Addison can we stop and talk?" Edward asked as nicely as he could through his anger.
"It's Salena!" she screamed at him. "I told you to call me Salena everyday before…" and she stopped. No Salena couldn't go back to her past. The painful lonely days… Her mind drifted off.
"Before what?" he asked.
"Are you stupid? Before I was shipped off to that place because of you!" she screamed again and then hung up. Her speed was dangerously high but she made it higher. Stupid idiotic Edward, making her go through the hell he forced her to go through, all alone. A lone child… She shuddered as she thought about what he'd done to her.
Edward knew his Volvo couldn't go as fast as her car and he knew he had lost her but he sped on ahead looking for that yellow car. Why was she here? More importantly, how was she here? He had so many questions, and he was going to get them answered. He thought all of his family was gone but Salena had miraculously survived. He had talk to her. About 30 minutes later Edward saw the car again and this time he knew he only had one goal. He would not lose her again. Not after the last time he lost her.
The silver Volvo grew smaller and smaller as Salena's Lamborghini sped away from it. She drove for 15 minutes at the same speed until her car had to be refueled. She drove to the next service station and re-fueled the car as quickly as she could. She then sped off again for about 7 minutes at a much slower pace. She was afraid that she would cause an accident and hurt someone and the car.
Edward had changed. He wasn't one to swear, the bad guy. She was the bad guy, she always had been. She was the kid who messed around. He was the goodie-two-shoes. The perfect child anyone would want. She was the one lurking around in the shadows. But then, from what she observed, he could be selfish at time. Maybe it was her who brought it out of him. Was he jealous? Who knew….
Salena had been deep in thought, so deep, that she hadn't realized the silver Volvo creeping up to her Lamborghini until it honked and she was taken out of her day-dreaming.
"Oh damn," she muttered as he came up next to her.
She tapped on her GPS and it came to life. She went for the aerial map and it showed that they were somewhere around Redmond, Oregon. Taking out her Galaxy S, she set it to her blue tooth and called him. He picked up on the first ring.
"Come on Addison, stop the-" He stated but she cut him off.
"It's Salena! Do I need to spell it out now? Or did you forget again?" she spat out the words angrily.
"Sorry, I forgot-"
"Yeah you did, like mentioning to mom and dad that… That you were just like me? That you could hear the voices as well?"
"I'm sorry about that! I really am Salena!" he apologized like a little boy, but she showed him no pity.
"Sorry isn't enough you bastard. You ruined my fucking life!"
"Then why did you come looking for me?" he asked
"Who said I was looking for you?" She retorted.
"Your face said it all."
"My face?" she snorted. "Now you're insane."
"I know you enough to know how you feel." Edward said with a careful voice. He didn't want to make his sister mad. He loved her, no loves her, very much. He would do anything for his sister. He knew his sister didn't have much of a childhood… All because of him… He felt so guilty at that moment and wanted to take all her pain away.
"Well not enough to know that I don't like being betrayed and turned over like a stolen item."
"Salena, we need to stop and talk. Slow down and we'll stop somewhere, maybe go back to my place."
"We'll see about that," she said angrily and hung up,
She sped up and drove until she knew she had really lost him, for real this time. Just to make sure, she drove all the way down to Arizona where she needed to re fuel once again. After a coffee and a sandwich, she felt much better. Salena got into her car again and headed home. Here I come Los Angeles…
