Ah the confusion. Lovely isn't it? OK, the italicized was the world where Paul and Suze are together, there is NO Jesse. The bold was the world just before Twilight. And the regular was the world this Suze is currently living in. And the italicized bold was the flashbacks from the books. Sorry I did that to ya, but I had to. Ok, hope this clears things up.


"Susannah?" I opened my eyes to see a man staring down at me. "Querida, I thought you were dead."

"J-Jesse?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. "No." This guy was about 30.

"Querida, it is me." He said, helping me up. "Now, I just have to figure out which one you are."

"Which one?"

He sighed and motioned for me to follow him. I did and sat beside him on the bench that seriously seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Susannah, tell me where you're from."

"Jesse-"

"Susannah, tell me about your life."

I sighed, "Ok. I'm 16. I moved to Carmel when my dad died. I met you because you're my best friend's brother-"

"That's a lie."

I looked up at him, "Excuse me? I'm living a lie, is that what you're saying?"

He nodded, "In a way. Querida, you moved to Carmel when your dad died, yes. You never knew my sister, because she died long before you were born." Wait, what? I just saw the girl! "I know this is hard for you to understand, but she did. Are you a mediator?" I nodded, "Ok. So maybe this won't freak you out as much as it could. You met me because I was haunting your bedroom. I haunted it for a hundred and fifty years."

"But you're alive now." I pointed out, thinking I had found a problem in his little story. He nodded and said, "Yes. It's a long story. You shifted back through time and brought me back here."

"Shifted?"

"Yeah. I'm a mediator. I'm only limited to talking to the dead. You're a shifter. You can not only talk to the dead, but can also shift between the realms of the living and dead. And go back through time."

I looked down trying to process this. "You know Paul Slater?" I nodded. "Well, he was in love with you. He was mad that you chose me over him. So, he spilt your soul. He only meant for their to be one more, but somehow he split it into two more. There's the real world that has been put back a few years, but will go through life as it should. There's the world where I don't exist and your with Paul. And then there's your world where everything is pretty much normal."

"Split my soul? Ew."

He laughed. "No matter what dimension, you're still the same Susannah."

I smiled and said, "Which world are you from?"

"I'm from the world that will be if we can get everything back to normal." He looked down at me. "Are you going to help me fix this?"

"Yeah." I said almost reluctantly.

He smiled, "Good. Follow me." He took my hand and I followed him through the long dark hall. Fog seemed to cling to my legs as we walked. "This seem familiar to you?" He asked.

"Yeah. What is this place?"

"The Shadowland. Where ghosts come after we mediate them."

"So it's like...Heaven's waiting room?"

He smiled and said, "You could say that." We came to a door. He looked down at me and said, "You ready?"

I nodded and he gripped my shoulder as he opened the door...
