Although My father and I had bonded the same couldn't be said for the sad/ dreary town of Forks. There was no love to be had for this small town. We had hailed from a small town but this really took the cake. It rained all the time and school was very cliquey. With me and Charlie the talk of the town. Apparently they never got any new kids here. Since me and Charlie were the same age and twins they placed us in all of the same classes. Except for biology and PE.
Biology was utterly dull. It didn't challenge me enough and Charlie had taken the last place for the advanced class. The bell rang signaling the start of the class in question.
I walked into class only to find the vacant seat next to mine was occupied by a strangely familiar and handsome stranger with onyx eyes.
CPOV
The Bell rang and I walked into advanced chemistry without Bella. I hated this class but I needed it for college credit and Bella had all of hers done. It was weird not being by her side. Even if it was only for a little while. Bio and PE. Then I felt a weird sensation only explained by our bond. I waved down the teacher who was late for his own class and pointed to my books he nodded giving me permission. I ran down the hall writing a note to get Isabella out of class.
I feared her brain had begun filling the black part of her memory. I rushed into her class. Her hair was in curtain mode shielding out the beautiful boy I had met during the Spanish influenza pandemic. The boy who was Isabella's soul mate. He was no longer human of course but one of the immortal life. I knew he was of no harm to Bella but he could cause a spark. If he tried anything Isabella would just freeze time. His eyes turned black and I looked at Bella. She finally noticed I was in the room. Grabbing Edward and freezing time she gracefully surprised him enough to take his mind off of harm.
She hadn't been able to stop time around him due to his genes being altered from vampire venom. Interesting I tucked that fact into the back of my mind. I grabbed Bella away from the blood lusting Edward. He looked at me strangely then. The three of us stalked out of the class room only to be met by four more mysterious vampires. Edward looked at them in askance. They moved to allow us through only to trail directly behind us.
Time freezing took a considerable amount of concentration for Bella and this was by far the longest she had to do it within such a big area. She leaned up against my frame. The strength pouring out of her. Shivering but not from the cold, her knees buckled and she fell unconscious. We had just made it out to the parking lot. Away from prying eyes and eavesdroppers. Time resumed once again. Fastforwording behind us. Edward looked at me, his eyes asking a million questions. The others just looked overwhelmed.
Isabella was trembling in my arms. The override had begun and I could not do anything for her.

The bell rang and I waltzed right into Biology sitting at the empty work table. Everyone's thoughts were so chaotic I shut them out. Then I looked up to meet a strangely familiar deep chocolate gaze. Her face was in a mask of sorts as she walked over to me and her scent was dazzling. My nostrils flared. The vampire in me wanting her blood. My fists clenched as she seated herself pulling her hair around her face. Her scent was so intoxicating as I forced myself to control the urge to drain her. Then after the second bell rang another stranger came into the classroom handing a note to the teacher.
I met his eyes instantly knowing that he was the girl's brother.
She grabbed my sleeve pulling herself up. I looked around. Everyone's thoughts had ceased and time had frozen. Amazed I let Bella drag me to the front of the classroom.
The twins seemed to communicate through other means as we headed out of the classroom. We were met by Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper.

I knew this strange girl and her brother though I had received very unclear visions concerning them. We all hopped in cars. The twins went in Edward's Volvo and the rest of us into Rosalie's corvette. We were headed to our house. We had to have answers or the Volturi would catch wind of them and that was never a good thing. We arrived in record time. Edward carried the girl's limp body and we walked to the door.
Carlisle and Esme were there to greet us. When Carlisle's eyes laid on our two guests they widened in recognition. I could tell we had a long day before us and that was saying something for a vampire. We could accomplish many things within a day. Like running around the world. Reading a ton of novels. Learning a language. Endless possibilities but you get the drift. The young man did not leave his sisters side. He almost took on a possessive pose when he was in her proximity,
It was very animalistic. I noted that. The vein in the girl's neck was throbbing rapidly even though she was unconscious. Then the young man spoke.
" I am Charlie Swan Jr." and this he gestured to his sister is Bella my sister." He offered no other explanations and uttered no other words.
Then Carlisle stepped to the front his eyes gazing at the twins. "I met you in the early nineteenth century. How is it you are here" he demanded. Charlie's eyes went cold
at the mention of the period of time. He sat down and as he did his sigh was one of pain.
" I could not protect her no matter how desperately I tried. Alice you know better then anyone what premonitions do." I gasped Then he launched into a dark tale of what he and Isabella had gone through.
Charlie one year ago flashback
Walking through the halls of lakeside high was not a piece of cake. Empathy is what they call sometimes I got glimpses of what people were feeling. Being within the vicinity of some at feeling a range of things at the same time was gut wrenching. I found ways to deal though. Music helped numb the feelings take the edge off of everything. Everyone was rushing eager to leave the place that they least wanted to be. I could not of cared less about leaving or staying. I just wanted to be neutral to everything, avoid conflict when possible and keep Isabella safe from Wes who had set his eyes on her.
Mom had told me that she thought I was born first because I was supposed to shield Bella from harm. Deep down inside I knew that those words were not flowery and sweet. They held a strange truth and I had always done so. It just came naturally. Kind of like impulse and very strong instinct.
I whistled taking care to make contact with anyone's body. I stopped at my locker feeling happy. Bella and I were planning an awesome weekend together. We tried to spend a lot of time together even though it struck other people as odd. We just ignored the snide remarks that were made behind our backs. I opened my locker heaving my bag into the small compartment meant to be convenient to students. The lockers at lakeside High had not been changed since the school was first established over a half a century ago. IT creaked open and out dropped a blood red envelope with my initials on it. I picked it off the floor wondering if it was a joke.
As soon as my fingers touched it an electric jolt was sent up and down my body. The sender was evil and bordering on mad WES. On impulse I wanted to burn the damn thing.
" I would open it if I were you" a voice whispered close to my ear. Meg who was one of his minions had come up behind me. I cracked open the seal fingers fumbling. Nothing that had Wes written all over it was good. A fine yet expensive paper lay inside.
Carefully sliding the message out of its foreboding envelope. Crimson words were ablaze on the paper.
"Join us or she will be mine" was scrolled across the delicate paper in an angry elegant cursive.
Flashback ends
"Then they tricked me into attempting to time travel. Somehow my soul got stuck in neutral for a while. Isabella came after me but I failed her and made her forget. Now we are on the run. We want to be happy and live but there can only be four not five." He started to break down in anguish mumbling unintelligible words. I kneeled by her side finally whispering words that had been gnawing at my insides for two weeks.
" I am sorry Bella" tears rolled down my cheek. Then I felt her hand upon my cheek. It was sweaty and feverish. " Do not fret I am stronger than you think. She looked around the room." We have quite the audience don't we."
She sat up with my help.

My eyes fluttered open at my brothers anguish. I had never seen him reduced to such a state. I touched my palm to his cheek. " I am stronger than you think." I moaned while getting into a sitting position with my brothers aide. I gazed at the cullens. Half of me wanted to quickly get out of the room.
" I lived for months thinking you were dead, nothing humbles one than finding a loved one dead." Trembling slightly I looked at the familiar boy who struck a cord within me. I stood up slowly ignoring my brother's protests. I stood in front of the bronze haired boy. Gazing up at him. I felt my eyes change then.
"what color have my eyes turned" I whispered. He looked confused but he answered gruffly they are purple with specs of green and gold. I gasped. Covering my mouth. He looked even more confused. I could see he wheels turning.
" Does that have any significance" he snapped.
" Yes it does you and I are soul mates"
