Author's Note: Update time! So, my original ideas weren't panning out how I wanted to and my OC just about refused to do as I asked until I gave in and finally let her have her way! That being said, it's looking more and more like a Jasper/OFC story, as you can see by the changes made to the information at the start of the story. She'll still probably have a triangle at some point, it's a Swan trait after all, but I'm really starting to love the new way my brain is spinning the story. I hope you guys do too(:

Thank you bazillions for the story support in reviews, favorites, follows, etc. I seriously hope you continue to enjoy!

Happy Reading!

~Aurelia's POV~

It was surprisingly easy to completely forget that I was walking around, going on about my day, in a fictional world and a high school that wasn't mine. Sure, there were constant reminders; like when Jessica Stanley introduced herself once she'd followed us from Trigonometry to Spanish, when the shy but utterly sweet Angela Weber nearly tripped over her own feet and ran into me, or when I'd catch myself staring at Bella in complete confusion. But it was easy to forget it all as the two of us muttered sarcastic remarks about the teachers or the curriculum back and forth under our breath, trading notes as if we'd done it our entire lives.

Our banter was just so easy, natural…like we really were twin sisters.

It all came forcefully back into reality though once we'd followed Jessica into the cafeteria, through the lunch line where I'd wrinkled my nose at the mysterious food waiting to be served there before opting out for the al carte fruit and salad bar, and been ushered to her lunch table.

Only to be fawned over as if we were the new trophies in the display case.

My newfound 'celebrity status' came in handy for Bella in this type of situation where she gladly sat back, barely hiding her giggles and smirks behind food and her drink when I'd let out an exasperated huff or make some annoyed comment low enough that only she could hear.

"Bitch." I hissed at her, making her giggle.

Yes, I was blissfully ignorant, until her next words.

"Who are they?" Bella murmured, loud enough for Jessica to hear.

And it all came crashing back down.

Sharp tingles raced down my spine when I glanced up to find out what she was on about, only to connect with the most beautiful people I'd seen in my entire life, my real one and this one. They each sat almost stoically, very little emotion on their blank faces and even littler communication was shared among them. Their food was left untouched on their trays, unsurprising, and as I let my eyes drift over their figures, recognition dawned within my mind easily. I suppose it wasn't as shocking for me as it was for Bella, considering I was privy to previous knowledge of the Cullen's existence. Their pale skin, inhumanly perfect features, and near purplish bruising shadows around the eyes isn't what shook me to my core. It wasn't that seeing them was a cold slap to the face, another reminder that I wasn't where I should be and that I was swimming around in a book, though that was definitely still an issue.

No, what ripped the air from my lungs as I stared in the same direction as Bella, was the number of them.

There were six.

"No, that can't be right." I thought, shaking my head. "There's only supposed to be five."

One, two, three, four, five…six.

"Emmett, Rosalie, Alice…whoever YOU are…Jasper, and Edward." I thought, ticking them off one by one.

At the conclusion of my mental tirade while I named them each as I stared, pure panic shot through me and doused my system in an icy coldness that was probably not unlike their skin, and I swear I saw Jasper flinch before his head snapped up in my direction. I didn't get a chance to find out if I was right though because I ripped my eyes from the back table hastily and began reciting the alphabet in Italian (thank you ice skating, for teaching me more than just fancy tricks on blades), fear that Edward was listening in to my thoughts keeping me from responding to Bella's concerned murmur.

What if he could hear me?

He wasn't supposed to be able to hear Bella, I knew that, but where did that leave me? I was her twin sister but that didn't necessarily mean that I shared her unique talent to shield her mind…did it? I mean, there was just as much of a chance of me not being able to block him out as there was that I didn't have to worry about it. Oh Jesus, if they found out I knew more than what I should know, what would they do?

Lock me away?

Kill me?

"Please don't see me as a threat," I thought, wincing a little when it took over my mind. "I swear I'm not going to say anything, don't kill me."

"Auri?"

My head snapped up in fear, my heart still hammering in my chest loud enough that I knew all six beings in the back of the cafeteria could hear it, and my eyes connected with Angela's worried ones.

"Are you alright?" She asked, leaning closer.

HELL NO!

"Yes," I breathed, portraying a much calmer tone than I expected. "I just, forgot where I put my iPod. I think it's in one of the boxes at home, still haven't unpacked."

I frowned as I thought about it, the white lie that wasn't actually much of a lie at all. I seriously hoped that in the catastrophe that was my new room, all of my things had made the world jump with me. Even though it so wasn't the time to be worrying about electronics when there was a table of…well there was a table of people that might not like me knowing what I did sitting not all that far away.

"Anyway," Jessica murmured pointedly, drawing our attention back to her. "That's Emmett, Edward and Alice Cullen; and Rosalie, Hunter and Jasper Hale. They all live together with Dr. Cullen and his wife."

Adrenaline pulsed through my veins as my brain grasped this new piece of information and my eyes left Jessica's gossipy face to dart over the six people that were still sitting silently behind us.

Emmett and Rosalie seemed to have remain unchanged; the former with a small permanent smirk shaping his lips and the latter holding on to a slight scowl. Alice sat nearly still, her slender fingers spinning the apple that remained lonely on her tray was her only movement while the new one, Hunter, gazed blandly out the window. I took a second to look at him, searching for any familiarity, but there was none. He was obviously tall and was somewhere between Emmett's bulkiness and Jasper's leanness in muscle, with hair the color of wheat that resembled Edward's tousled style. I could easily see why they had aligned him as a Hale, no doubt casting him as a brother to the other two. It was Edward and Jasper that stood out to me though, drawing my eyes away from the new addition.

They were both utterly and completely stiff.

I watched as Edward's fingers ripped a bagel to shreds from the corner of my eye while Jasper kept a death grip on the tabletop, and I wondered just what exactly had them so on edge. Besides Bella of course, I knew Edward would be having a hard time with her soon enough, but it wasn't supposed to be quite yet. He was just supposed to be frustrated, and Jasper was supposed to be attached to Alice's hip! I chanced looking up quickly and had to bite down on my lip to hold back the gasp that threatened when I met Edward's irritated expression, his eyes darting back and forth between Bella and myself hurriedly. It was way more intimidating than I had expected and I flinched ever so slightly when a sliver of fear trickled down my spine after holding his gaze for too long, watching as his irritated curiosity turned into a glare.

Missing the low growl that echoed shortly after.

"Can you hear me?"

It was ridiculously stupid, taunting the pretty vampire when he looked so infuriated, but it was a risk I had to take. I needed to gauge his reaction, to know if I was totally screwed and would need to be trying to protect what was in my mind. I wasn't skilled in the art of hiding my thoughts like Alice and it was hard to think for myself and do something to drown him out as well.

But he didn't even move.

No jerk of surprise, no twitching of the lips, nothing.

"Edward?" I tried again, just in case, hardly daring myself to hope.

Still though, nothing.

A rush of happiness and relief doused me and sapped the energy from my muscles as I turned away, elated at the new development I had managed to find.

"Old names." I murmured, arching an eyebrow in Bella's direction.

She gave a jerky nod, trying and failing to keep her eyes from their table while I fought the urge to smirk. "They're very…nice looking."

A giggle escaped me, for a reason completely different from Jessica's, and I felt a gentle warmth settle in my chest while something tickled my senses. I could feel a gaze on me, intense and almost…comforting, and I soon found myself with a light blush creeping over my cheeks while I too fought the urge not to look up and over at the Cullen's table.

It was ridiculously hard.

"They're all together though," Jessica snipped, and I felt a wave of irritation surge up as she spoke. I hated when she went on about this. "Emmett and Rosalie, and Hunter and Alice, I mean."

Wait…WHAT?!

That wasn't right!

"Oh yes, because any of this is actually right Aurelia." My conscience snapped, rolling her eyes.

Whatever, it didn't make it any less surprising.

"And they live together!" Jessica hissed, finishing in a disapproving tone.

"So?" I snapped, unable to control myself.

She stuttered her way through an answer, caught off guard by my narrow eyed glare."S-So, it's…um, weird!"

"I'm sure that if you explored this entire town, heck probably just the entire school, you'd find something even more surprising than that." I rolled my eyes, waving away her statement with my forkful of fruit.

A sharp jab of pain seared up my shin when Bella's foot connected with it, nearly making me spit out the mouthful of Sprite I'd sipped, and my glare was quickly transferred from our newfound gossipy friend to my twin.

"That hurt!" I hissed, grabbing for my leg, and missing yet another growl from the back of the room.

"Shut up!" She hissed in reply, then turned back to Jessica.

Ever the peacekeeper.

"Which ones are the Cullen's?" Bella asked. "They don't look related…"

"No shit Sherlock." I grimaced inwardly, refraining from rolling my eyes once more.

Jessica quickly latched on to Bella's question, happy with the distraction from my reprimanding. Had it been anyone else, I had the feeling she would have easily and quickly thrown her own little bitchfit, but the fact that I was new and apparently well liked (even though I hadn't met half the people here in my life and remembered even less than that) kept her from doing so. She went on to explain that they were not, surprisingly, related while I played with a lock of my hair in hopes to cover up the blatant sarcasm that was running ramped in my mind. For a moment I wished that my sister's future love could hear inside of it, just so I had someone to make my crafty retorts to.

"That's really nice, for them to take care of all those kids like that, when they're so young and everything." I heard Bella murmur, pulling me back into the conversation.

"I guess so," Jessica sniffed, clearly jealous. I didn't even need the book to tell me that. "I think that Mrs. Cullen can't have any kids though."

My eyes narrowed again, anger rippling through my veins. "I don't see how that's any of your business."

The urge to defend Esme was strong, even catching me off guard.

I wasn't the only one.

Feeling the intense gaze on me once more, I finally gave in and decided to glance up, searching it out. My eyes met with Alice's first, her openly kind and proud expression capturing them before I could move to the right of her where the feeling was coming from. She blinked at me once before her lips lifted in a bright smile, nearly taking my breath away with the beauty of it. Though I was surprised that she looked at me so boldly, it didn't stop me from flashing her one of my own as a foreign wave of surprise hit me from the direction the heated gaze was located in. Alice gave me a quick wink and rose gracefully, her hand clasped around Hunter's, before she practically danced her way out of the cafeteria while dragging him along behind her.

"She knows something." I thought, frowning just a bit at her retreating back.

Or, you know, she's just nice.

Alice is Alice after all.

"And who are they again?" Bella queried, drawing me back to her conversation. "The one with the reddish brown hair and the one next to him?"

I glanced back from where I had been staring after Alice's disappearance to find Bella hunched over her lunch a little, her head turned at an awkward angle in an attempt to peer over her shoulder. A giggle passed my lips and she sent me a death glare while I rearranged my features into an innocent expression, holding up my hands in mock surrender.

"That's Edward, and the blonde next to him is Jasper." Jessica supplied, her voice taking on a snobby tone. "They're both gorgeous of course, but don't waste your time. He doesn't date, either of them actually, and yes I'm serious. Apparently none of the girls here are good-looking enough for either of them."

I nearly snickered at the jealousy that rolled off of her in nearly visible waves.

She turned away after that, lifting her nose in the air as she began a new conversation with the girl next to her, and Bella shared a private smirk with me. I rolled my eyes and made a gagging motion with my finger as I wrinkled my nose. Bella choked on her drink while I grinned at her, knocking my knee with hers.

But it was the deep chuckle that drew my attention away from her.

I looked up quickly to find Jasper chuckling, obviously trying to hold his lips together in a strained smirk that was doing nothing to ease his need to laugh. I don't know what it was, maybe the expression of just the tiniest bit of happiness on the normally somber vampire's face, but I couldn't help the rush of pleasure that surged through me. As if he'd felt it, which my sluggish brain reminded me later he had, Jasper's head snapped up and his eyes met mine. I sucked in a shallow breath as heat burst throughout my entire body, licking through my veins in pleasurable flames as the muscles in my lower abdomen clenched tightly while my stomach flipped around. I couldn't break away from his stare, the swirling golden topaz of his eyes that hadn't been described nearly as beautifully as it actually was, held me captive. My heartbeat doubled, sending my pulse and blood shooting through my body, and even though his features pinched slightly he didn't seem to alter his expression.

He was stuck on shock.

Kind of like me.

"Auri!"

I gasped, my hand clutching at my chest unconsciously as if it physically hurt to look away from him, and met Bella's embarrassed and intrigued expression when the haze in front of my eyes finally cleared. I gulped for air, stalling a little so that when I spoke my voice wasn't as breathless as it felt like it was.

"Yeah?" I breathed.

Dammit.

"Time for class?" She replied, sounding a little breathless herself actually, and stood.

Nodding, I discreetly glanced back toward the table and Jasper, but he was nowhere to be seen. He had disappeared along with Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie, and I couldn't stop the disappointment that flooded my system when I found him gone.

Weird.

I shook my head, pushing away all thoughts of Jasper (as hard as that seemed to be), extra vampires and werewolves, jumbled relationships and fictional worlds. Falling alongside Bella, I concentrated on making a plan to figure out just what in the hell happened to me and what my next move would be. Rayne, I needed to call her and try to convince her into remembering what really happened the night before, and then I had to do some box searching for a couple of books I prayed were there.

I had some rereading to do.
