Edwards point of view.

Chapter 3

I watched as Isabella, gracefully left the room. I watched memorized not be her sent, not the fact that I could not read her mind, not her hair as it curled just perfectly into ringlets at the bottom, but the fact that at that moment Williams mind filled of pictures of Isabella and Loretta. They would still be described as the most beautiful creatures even thought you could clearly tell they were humans. Isabella was simply wonderful. Her laugh. Her smile. The way she scrunched her face up when she was confused. All thought Loretta was her exact twin they were different. Loretta had a larger grin which took on more dimples. She had her hair braided as Isabella would have it down. Loretta and Isabella both have charisma, but both, in a completely different way. I was pulled out of my reverie to Loretta's laugh. Which was two octaves higher then Isabella's I silently noted. Loretta was blankly staring at the wall half paying attention to us, and laughing just like she was when Isabella was here. When she realised what she had done and everyone was staring at her with confused and questioning stares she just fully blanked off. We were staring at her intently when a sorrow expression came over her face and she grimaced. Her eyes took on a more sparkly brown. I had not noticed that they had glazed a bit.

Weird people thought Rosalie. Of course. Rosalie was going to play the' I'm still better then they are even if they are slightly pretty' card. If knowing her she is jealous as hell. I turned and glared at Rosalie just as I caught Loretta's eyes. I locked gazes with her and something told me to look away. Something told me I did not want to look in them. But I couldn't look away even if I wanted to. There was something very sinister there. And I shivered. Then she finally let go. I gasped. Jasper looked at me weird. But surly he had not seen that encounter because it had only lasted a brief 3 seconds, if not, less. My gaze wondered to Rosalie's but I could only muster a week glare.

"I have got to go...go get extra homework." Loretta finally said.

"She's hiding something. Something big. I know it. I know her" William said calmly. But one look into jaspers head told me otherwise.

"Why do you need extra homework?" asked William. He was going to press an issue that should not be pressed on. I knew it. I am guessing he had not looked into her eyes, and if he has he is either, not showing what he felt, or he never felt it. That maybe it was only me. Only my imagination.

"um.. You know. First day of school. New kids. Want to make a good impression with the teachers, stay on their good side." She said.

"Loretta is a good liar when she wants to be. So either she has lost her touch. (Which I doubt) or she wants us to find out something" "but her sister... I remember that she can't lie for shit." William said. He has sort of a potty mouth. I am guessing Emmet rubbed off on him.

"Well ok. See ya, Retta." William said. Knew he had missed her and wanted to spend more time with her, I also knew that come schools end he is going over there, (Loretta's house) and spending as much time making up lost time. She quickly gave him a peck on his check as she handed him a piece of paper.



When she had left the room, we all decided to finish our lunches and head to our next class.

00000000000000000000...000000000000000000000000000000000...00000000000000000000000000000000000...

I lay sprawled out on my black leather couch, that was located in my room, recalling the facts of today. 1st I meet the most beautiful people on earth. 2nd those stunning beauties help play a part in will's happy life.3rd they have a secret that they will not tell.4th they are vampires as well 5th I got to spend my last period with Isabella who told me to call her Bella.

We didn't talk much, but enough that would satisfy me. She told me that she and her sister were highly repulsed by human blood. She said it was the most horrid thing she has had to smell and endure. She also told me that she lives with her "father" the vampire that saved her. Charley was the name she gave me. She said that he was a legal lawyer. But sadly she failed to answer any other questions, such as powers how she was changed, just the normal facts. She also seemed a bit, I don't know. Antsy?

I was feeling a mix of emotions. Frustrations. For she would not answer my questions and I could not simply go into her head and get them. Smitten. By her beauty. Her mysterious aurora. Her very demeanour. And again her secrets that she kept to herself. Unwilling to share. Sad. That she felt she could not share with us. Sad that I did not understand. Sad that I was away from her. Wow where did that come from. Why would I feel sad from simply not being in her company? I guess I could add confused to the list along with hope, disappointment, intrigued, inspired, safe. And whole.

There was a soft knock on my door. I knew who it was simply by the knock it's self. For Alice would have come in without asking. Rosalie would not even be out there but would shout out, afraid to break a nail and Emmet would have banged as hard as he could. Carlisle would call through his head. Seem would softly pock her head in and jasper would softly knock. So it was defiantly jasper.

"Come in Jasper." I said. In walked Jasper, with his blond hair wind blown out of his face. A blue prep shirt on covered by a vest. He wore a dark washed jean, and white sneakers. He strode confidently over to the end of my couch and picked up my legs swinging them over so he could sit.

"So how are you?" he asked even thought he could feel every emotion running through me.

"Fine" I replied not liking where this was going.

"Well I was down stairs playing Xbox with Emmet when you got home. You remember?" he asked. What a silly question of coarse I did. Emmet was shouting for me to come watch him whoop jaspers ass only to fall on his ass. I was really funny if you ask me. Sometimes they could get so, so, immature.

I smiled and nodded my head once to indicate that I indeed remembered.

"Well it just so happens that I was winning and going for a new record to beat Emmet in when I was hit with a tidal wave of conflicting emotions. There was so much that I had to leave. Now do you want to 

tell me how you are? I'll ask again. Hello Edward. How are you?" jasper was enjoying this. I knew because I was reading his mind and the expression in his eyes. Sighed defeated and began

"Truthfully Jasper. I don' know. I have never felt some of the feeling I am feeling now. I feel hope so that maybe I am not put on this earth to be alone, maybe I am here to wait for the one I am supposed to be with. Maybe that someone has finally come. I am also kind of disappointed that maybe this person does not feel the same way of me and that I will never get to fulfill that possibility of love. Because frankly jasper, now that I have found who I am looking for, I do not intend to settle for anything less. I feel confusion and irritated over the fact that I cannot use my gift on this person and that I am unable to fully know what it is that person is thinking. I have never found something like this. It is not even like William. With William you know there is a force field thing. With William I can feel the barrier to within his mind. But with this person." I shook my head." With this person it is like they are not there. Then I feel scared and maybe like... what's that term for a fish out of water... Um... uncomfortable?.. Yeah uncomfortable. I feel highly scared and uncomfortable for the face that I have never feel this feeling of attachment and not even that. But I am feeling it so, so soon. I haven't even had a proper conversation and I have know the for less than a day, and I feel so strongly. Like I would sacrifice myself. But the worst part is. I am scared that if I shared my feelings with her..." I pause unable to finish. I looked away.

"Continue. I won't judge. "Jasper spoke in a tone that told me he knew the rest of my statement but was waiting for me to say it aloud. That he understands. But if she did then why would he want me to say it aloud. I have no idea. But already I feel better so I continued.

"Jasper I am afraid that if I was to express my feelings with her then I... I might scare her off. That she would reject me. And worst. That she would not feel the same way, I do as her. I couldn't bear to see her with someone other then me. But what can you say. Be with me or only me. If I can't have her then no one can.? No I could never force that upon her." I finished. Or so I thought. But jasper knew there was something that I wanted to ask. So he stayed quiet for a half hour until I finally asked.

"Jasper do you believe in love at first sight. Or long lasting love." I waited patiently for his answer.

"I do." He replied. "There is a saying I like to refer to. "Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, will never, never forget it.". It's by Curtis Judalet. "

When I met Alice I knew at that moment that this was the women I wanted to spend the read of my eternity with. I finally knew what all those trays romance novels meant. I finally understood what Romeo and Juliet felt. I know I sound really cheesy when I say this. But seriously. I don't know where I would be today had Alice not been a part of my life. So what you're saying is understandable. But man, you he got to brighten up. Stop being such a pessimist. He finished with that and walked towards the door. And on his way out he told me.

"Don't shoot the bullet unless you have a clear shoot." I guess he meant don't think that someone doesn't like you, unless you ask them.



I thought over what jasper said for about an hour. Then came the second knock of the night.

It was more of a drum roll. So I knew it was William.

"Come in" I called and walked over to my stereo. I put on rides again "infected". The I went and sat on my couch beside William. William turned to face me.

"What would you like to know?" he asked bluntly but a hint of a smile in his voice.

"What do you mean? What would you like to know? I have no idea what you're talking about." I didn't wait for him to answer I checked is mind.

"Oh come on Edward. I know you like Bella. So what do you want to know about her? Because I can tell you things that you would die over. But after all this time I am not so sure." He said as his train of thought continued until it trailed off.

"Well what is she like? She seems so shy and venerable?" I asked I hoped he could give me an answer. But I quickly threw that hope away when I saw his face fall.

"Well that the thing bro. She is, I mean was, never like that. Quite the opposite really. She was a wild one. She was always running away to go camping in the forest. Or jumping off cliffs into water. Or even running around in the night." He let a chuckle escape his lips there. "I remember for their fifteenth birthday, we all went camping. My buds Joseph, James, Jacob and Laurent. Then Isabella and Loretta. Loretta and I were together at the time I started hanging out with my buds. I was always the leader. You know. But Bella. Bella was a flirt. She was not so much promiscuous, but she liked her fun. She would toy with you; drag you on and on and on. Then just when you thought you could real her in. She cut the rope. Just like that. She would hang out with the guys. Enough for them to kiss her and then when they asked to date or marry her she would just cut them off. Never call. Rejected. So one night on their birthday we all went down by the lake for a camping trip. And Bella used to talk in her sleep. So she was babbling when James decided to waked her up. Oh what a horrible move. She woke up. And she was still beautiful. But she was tired and said she needed her 'beauty' sleep. As if. So James was the latest 'victim' per say. So they went outside and about fifteen minutes later you hear the biggest splash. Everyone rushed outside to see what is was.

It turned out to be James Bella was in her high gown, sitting on a tree branch hanging over the water, laughing hysterically. So what had happened was when he went to kiss her. She asked him why he likes her. That was sort of a famous question. She would either ask before or after the first kiss. When he said because you sexy. She pushed him into the water. No one has ever gotten past the question. Well at least that was since the last time I saw them. Then later that night I had asked Loretta why Bella did this and what she said struck me dumb. Shy said that Bella had told her she was trying to find her true love. She said that Bella said that the person would either know what to say or she would feel sparks when she kissed them. She said that they would make her feel special inside when the loved her for her and not her beauty. She wanted someone who was not a slut like the Jessica's and Laurens of I guess our time. She said that she wanted to be treated with the respect she disserved. That not to sound 

conceited, she said. "It is not that I am higher or better then anyone. It is that I deserve the best for when I hand out the best. How and I supposed to love if I treat everyone else with respect and love and I get none in return." Bella was always nice but I never knew she was this deep. It is like I always used to say. Isabella and Loretta were very nice and caring. But in different ways. If a dog was dying in a fire that you just escaped, Loretta would say. As long as were ok that is great. We can always get another dog. She cared for people's safety. But Bella would say. We can't leave that dog there. I going in. And she would proceed to do so until she either got the dog or new it was dead. If so that was the case she would have a funeral and visit its grave every year. She cared deeply for everyone but herself. She always thought she was never perfect. That she was just plain Jane. That there was never anything special about her."

"So when I saw her at her house today and at school. I was wondering. What happened? She was never this reserved. And the way she snapped STOP at Loretta. That would never have happened. Bella would have laughed right along with her. And usually she would start up a great conversation with everyone. I asked Loretta. But she said she didn't want to talk about it. And later when I had asked again her Brock down and told me, it wasn't that she didn't want to tell me. It was that she was not allowed. I asked her questions that I knew she wanted to tell but didn't. Like if she did it pained her. Or something inside of her." William just stopped talking. But truthful I think that is all I could handle. What he had just told me left my mouth hanging open. I was literally struck dumb as William had put it. I surly do hope I can figure what happened to Isabella. But I guess he was not done for he had one last thing to say before he left.

"I was a year later that I found out from Laurent, because he was now dating someone, that they were only hanging out with me because of Isabella and Loretta. I was then that night I stopped hanging out with them I told them our friend ship was over. And it was so funny because I would have been the next day when they went missing; I ended it the day before their birthday. They never did show up at the party. Isabella said they were but they never did." And with that he got up and walked to the door leaving me in my own jumbled thoughts.

And as William said a quite good bye and left the room I couldn't help but think.

What happened to the mysterious Isabella?

Ok so I hope you liked it. And I was wondering if you can review because it makes me feel happy. Lol
