Another chapter up!! I would have this one up earlier, but I was feeling a bit lazy…sorry guys!

Once again, this chap has multiple POV's! Me liiiike!


Edward POV

Everybody was starring at me, I tried my best to keep their thoughts from my head. Alice was singing a Backstreet Boy song and picturing herself doing some very awkward dance moves, Rosalie was debating whether to have another destination wedding, or a destination honeymoon with a plain wedding, Jasper was thinking about the Confederation, and he was reminiscing on his human days as a soldier, Carlisle and Esme were both doing a great job at keeping their thoughts empty. The only one not trying to ease of the tension off from me was Emmett.

Bro, she's hot, she smells good, she's real funny and sweet. What are you waiting for? Plus I heard her and Alice talk the other day and she's not a virgin prude like Bella was. That means that you, my brother, will get a little some-some from her.

Emmett was wiggling his eyebrows as he thought the last bit. I gave him a glare. "Emmett, keep your thoughts to yourself."

"I was just thinking the obvious." He said wiggling his eyebrows once again.

"Emmy, just shield yourself from him." Rosalie said as she placed a kiss on his cheek. "Like that wizard in that game you're always playing."

"Okay babe." Emmett said grabbing Rosalie by the waist and sitting her on his lap.

Maybe we can have sex in…oh I'm supposed to be shielding from the freak. Ummmm… I know! Mary had a little lamb, Mary had a little laaaamb…

I gave Emmett another irritated look as he sang his own version of the song. "Sorry bro!" He said and continued singing.

"Son." Carlisle said breaking the connection Emmett and I had. "Where do you want to start?" Esme gave me a loving smile as she gently caressed my hand.

"The beginning. I want to know how she came to be close to the family, then we'll go from there on." I replied to Carlisle's question as Alice stopped her Backstreet Boy song midway.

"I'll start." Alice said to Carlisle and turned her body towards me. Where to start? Where to start? Yes! Alice thought as a memory from a few months back popped into her head. "I was doing some shopping online and I had just finished buying Carlisle this wonderful Fendi scarf, when I saw this amazing bottom down shirt that would go really nice with the pair of Prada slacks I bought you a few years ago and those Gucci…"

"Alice! Stay on topic!" Emmett yelled. "I swear you have shopping ADD or something!" Alice gave him a death glare.

"I prefer being addicted to shopping, than to those violent, good for nothing video games." She gave Emmett a sweet smile and turned her body towards me again.

"Thing is, I was thinking about you and well, I decided to see how you were, or in my case, how you were going to be and I looked into your future. What I saw though, threw me off. We were all together, in this house and it was Christmas because we had a tree full with presents and food. We actually had a table with food! Then we were all sitting around the tree and you were sitting next to this woman and you leaned over, said something in her ear and gave her a kiss on the cheek." She leaned into Jasper's arms as he embraced her. "I snapped out of it and called Jasper and Esme and told them all about it. I told them about the tree and presents and the human food." Esme was still caressing my hand, and Jasper was sending me another round of calmness. "We came to the conclusion that the woman you were with was human, and so I started concentrating more into your future but only saw you making choices on which animal to hunt."

"We hit a dead end for about a week." Jasper intervened.

"I was thinking, how that type of vision came to play. You know, what decision you made that lead you to that place in time, and well that's when Esme came up with the idea of looking into everyone's future to see if I could any insight." Alice said, I didn't need to be Jasper or even look at his face to know she was spilling with excitement. "I looked into mine first, and at first I saw myself just picking out outfits and hunting."

"I thought about it, and I told Alice that if the woman you were with was human, then she needed to think about making decisions that involved human contact." Jasper said interrupting Alice.

"Then as Jazzy told me that, Esme came into the living room with a Homes and Style magazine." Alice looked at Esme and gave her a smile. "Esme was showing me a room she wanted to copy, when the caption caught my eye, It said 'California Living.'"

"I told Alice, I would love to be able to go to California and talk to the decorator and take a tour of the house, you know to get the feel of it." Esme said when Alice gave her a few minutes to give her point of view.

"That's what gave me the idea. I told Esme that we would plan a trip to California and go talk to the decorator an…"

"I was playing Assassin's Creed when I heard Alice say that and I thought it was the worst Idea ever! So I told them that people where going to notice them and that it was a stupid idea." Emmett cut Alice's sentence short, he had his usual Emmett dork smile on his face.

"Yes, but as soon as I said that and made the choice, a vision popped into my head and I was flying in a plane, at night and next to me was sitting the dark haired girl you were with in my vision!" Jasper had to put both of his hands on Alice in order to calm her down.

"To make a long story short," Alice sat back down and leaned into Jasper's arms once again. "I booked a flight to California and on my way there, the dark haired women wasn't sitting next to me. Throughout the whole airplane ride, I was making different types of decisions. Leaving a few days earlier than I had planed, or later, and nothing! She was nowhere to be seen! Until, I decided to get to the airport, change the return ticket to that same day and viola!" Alice waved her hand in the air. "She was sitting next to me once again. Anyways, I did what I did and once I boarded the plane to return, Isabel was sitting next to the seat that was assigned to me. We started talking and I found out she was to attend Western Washington, one thing lead to another and we were both taking the same English, Math, and History classes at Western!" Once again Jasper had to work his magic on Alice. She turned around and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

I looked down to my hands as I let the information sink in, I could feel the whole family starring at me once again. "You went through a lot of trouble just to meet her Ali." I said looking at her and trying my best to keep everyone's thoughts at bay.

"You were so happy in my vision Edward! I would have done that and more just to get to know Isabel." Alice stood up from where she was sitting and gave me a hug. "Now go and talk to Carlisle." She gave me a big smile and returned to her place next to Jasper.

"Carlisle," I said turning my attention towards him. "Can we talk?" He gave me a warm smile as he nodded his head. Esme let go of my hand as she stood up and placed a kiss on my cheek.

It'll be fine honey, just trust your sister.

"Who wants to go on a little hunting trip?" Esme said grabbing Alice's hand, pulling her up from the couch.

"I bet you one hundred dollars I can hunt more animals faster than you Abraham Lincoln." Emmett said to Jasper as he stood up, took a one hundred dollar bill from his pocket and waved it in front of Jasper's face.

"You better be ready to lose that bill Emmett." Jasper said getting up from the couch and running out the door, Emmett followed behind him.

"Well girls," Esme said walking out the door with her arms placed around both Alice and Rosalie. "I guess it's a girls night out." All three women laughed as Rosalie closed the door behind them.

"Is this possible?" I asked Carlisle as soon as the rest of my family was out of earshot. "She smells just like Bella." I stood up from where I was sitting and sat on the couch facing Carlisle.

"I'm not sure son." Carlisle said as he removed the scarf he was wearing and set it down next to him. I gave out a growl.

"I've gotten to know Isabel throughout this past few months." Carlisle crossed his legs and rested his hands upon his knee. "Son, she resembles Bella in a lot of ways. Isabel's blood smells just like Bella's. It calls out to you, tempts you. Isabel has a very kind spirit, she is very sweet, very selfless, smart, and not to mention she also has no notion of what danger is." He finished his sentence with a small smile. "But that doesn't mean she is Bella."

"Her name is Isabel. Just add another L and an A, and you've got Isabella!" I stood up from the couch and walked towards the window. "Her blood…" I looked out into the tress and saw how they each played with each other's branches as the wind blew through them. "Her blood calls out to me a lot more than Bella's. It smells ten times sweeter." I turned around to face Carlisle. "I can't read her mind, and her eyes…Carlisle her eyes are…Isabel just reminds me so much of my Bella!" I couldn't form a coherent thought in my head.

"Son I don…" I cut Carlisle's sentence short.

"Carlisle, before Bella died, she told me to wait for her. To not do anything drastic, that she would be back to finish the life we had started." I walked back towards the couch and sat down. "Is it possible Carlisle? Is it possible for Bella to come back?" I sat up waiting for Carlisle's response.

"Edward," Carlisle said my name slowly. "The one thing I know, is that Isabel and Isabella are two completely different persons. It is very rare for a vampire to find more than one person who calls to them. If I were you I would sit down and consider my choices.

We were both quite for a few minutes. Carlisle was blocking his mind as best as he could, and I was taking in what he had said to me. It was true, her blood did call out to me; it tempted me more than Bella's blood, I felt attracted to Isabel the moment I smelled her coming down the stairs. Part of me wanted to get to know her, to protect her fragile being, while the other part wanted nothing more than to flee back to Barcelona and put everything behind me. It wasn't possible for Isabel and Bella to be the same person. They had their familiarities, sure, but the differences were there as well. Their soul…what if their soul…

I cut my thoughts short. "Dad, what if they have the same soul? What if Isabel and Bella have the same souls. Wouldn't that explain everything? The smell, the attraction, the promise Bella made me after she died?" I could feel excitement creeping up on me, I was pretty sure I was on to something.

"Son, I'm not sure. Some people call it mediocrity, while some think it's possible. We would have to do some research." He placed his hand on my knee. "I'm sure Jasper wouldn't mind helping on the research, and Rosalie…" I cut Carlisle off once again.

"I need time to think, time to clear my head Dad." I stood up from the couch and walked back towards the window, the wind had picked up making the tree branches beat wildly against each other.

"Take time son, think things through." Carlisle came up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. He too was admiring the branches brawling. "Don't make the same mistakes Edward." He turned around and left me alone in the living room to think.

"Thank you Dad." I said after him.

So many things to think about. Was I even ready to let Bella go? To let our love dissolve and open up my heart to another? What would Bella think? Why did Isabel enter my life? And why was Alice's vision implying I was to be close to Isabel? I stood like a stature facing the window. The dance the trees were doing calmed me down a bit. They seemed so serene, out there without a worry, without any feelings. Just doing what the wind willed for them to do, and happy to oblige. Why couldn't I be a tree? Just stand there and have nothing to worry about, nothing to feel guilty about, no life to live, no problems to solve, no love to love.

But what if I was ready to let Bella go? I knew she would want me to be happy, want me to move on and continue my life…if you could call it that. The funny thing is I knew what she would do at this exact moment; sixty years have passed since her death and I knew she would stand next to me, hold my hand and say, "Edward, I want you to be happy. Remember me always with a smile, remember always the good times, and continue on living. For me. " She would then lean over and kiss my cheek and continue on holding my hand.

I was over thinking things too much! Just because Isabel's blood called out to me didn't mean we were meant to be together, or I had to love her. Maybe we could be friends, a short distraction from all the pain I have and am suffering. I could mentor Isabel into doing things right in her life, I would help her out with school work and guide her through the right path. That was it! Isabel was put on my families path, on my path to be helped, to be guided. Isabel was my second chance to make things right.

I stood facing the window the remainder of the time.


Isabel POV

Five missed calls, six text messages, and two voice mails. Alice was really a drama queen! Funny thing is, I knew exactly what she wanted, Alice wanted to know whether I got home safely, and plan what I was to wear tomorrow to school. I read the text messages first.

R U home?

-Ali

Isabel? Y don't u answer me?

-Ali

You probably got home and took a shower…CALL ME!!

-Ali

Ok it's been forty minutes since the first text…CALL ME!!!!!!!

-Ali

CALL ME!!

-Ali

Isabel Maria Maesun!! I've called you five times already, if you don't answer any of my calls, or texts, or call me back…I will drive over there!!!

-Ali

I laughed out loud, that little pixie was sure exaggerated!! I took a deep breath and dialed 1 for my voice mail. I didn't need to listen to them, I deleted them and hung up the call to call Alice back. I dialed her number and the phone only rang twice.

"About time!! Do you know how worried I was?! I'm here thinking, oh maybe a wild animal ate her! Or maybe, a weirdo high jacked her car and raped her and he is now…" I had to cut Alice off from her wild inventive explanation on why I didn't answer her.

"Ali, relax! I got home, I was a bit exhausted so I decided to take a shower." I brushed my hair.

"You could have called you know! It only takes what? Less than two minutes!!" Her usually high pitched voice was climbing the scale.

"Not with you it doesn't. I forgot. I'm okay I promise. No wild animals or weirdoes…just you!" I let out a laugh as I flopped down onto my bed.

"Ha. Ha. you're funny! Anyways, I'm a bit busy right now but tomorrow please dress nicely! And do something with your hair!" I could hear Emmett in the background yelling some distasteful words at jasper.

"Why?" I asked the last bit trying my hardest not to laugh at Emmett's new nickname for Jasper, and turning the lights off to my room.

"Just because. Anyways, have a good night and if you need anything, call okay? Love ya Izz!" And with that Alice hung up the phone.

"I don't know about her." I said as I closed my phone and set it on the night stand. I walked towards the closet and looked over the tons of clothe Alice had bought me and made my buy over these past few months. After a few minutes of battling over the red top or black I decided on the skinny true religion jeans she had gifted me for her made up friendship day, a black long sleeved shirt and the black knee high leather boots I bought last week. I took my leather biker jacket from its hook along with my scarf and placed them on top of the chair were the rest of my get-up laid. For jewelry, I would just wear my diamond studs and the silver bracelet my Mother had given me.

"That should be fine with Alice." I said as I turned off the lights and laid back on my bed. "I'll tell her I have a bad girl theme going on." I turned to my side and saw my phone flash with two new text messages.

I may not have wrestled an alligator…yet, but mountain lions are just as fun!

The best in the world!!

"Oh Emmett!" I said as I laughed out loud. "Craazy!" I went back to my inbox and read the other text.

Izzy, he's an idiot. Don't pay attention to him, the video games have eaten up his brain. Have a good night sweetie. 3 you!!

Rose

Rosalie always trying to cover up Emmett's stupidities. I really didn't mind them, that dork sure knew how to make me laugh…in a weird way.

No problem Rose, just tell him to show me the video! Sweet dreams!!

Izzy

I closed my phone and set it on my nightstand. I laid back onto my pillows and took a deep breath, the wind was playing around with the trees, their branches and leaves were making strange shadows on my wall. My mind went back to Edward Cullen. "No Isabel. You're becoming a stalker!" Mad at myself I got up from bed and headed towards the kitchen to take a drink of water. The whole house was dark, silent, cold. The cool kitchen tiles greeted my feet as I stepped on them to get a water bottle from the counter.

"Now go back to your bed and sleep Isabel! Stop thinking about him!" I walked back into my room as I took a sip from the bottle.

I flopped back down onto my bed, and a familiar scent greeted me.

"Edward." I whispered into my pillow.

Yes I was crazy. I've had only met him for about what? A few hours now, and what did I do? Smell his scent in my room. Something was wrong with me. I mean, yes, Edward Cullen was male perfection. Yes, Edward Cullen was possibly the role model for every girls dream boyfriend. Edward Cullen was…there is no words to really describe him. For all I knew, this guy thought I was the biggest weirdo he's ever met! I mean, I take uncontrollably sips from soda cans, I tell him he reminds me of my Mother, tell him he has an accent, fall on top of him, just take off without saying bye. So on top of being weird, I'm rude…nice!

I took another breath. His scent still lingered.

"I'm going crazy." I said to myself. I closed my eyes and took another breath, his scent and the scratching and knocking of the branches against my window relaxed me into sleep. A dreamless sleep.


Edward POV

I was still in my petrified state as Emmett and Jasper burst into the house.

"And Abraham Lincoln loses once again ladies and gentlemen!" Emmett walked into the living room with a childish grin on his face, and his shirt full of animal blood.

"At least I know how to eat like an adult Emmett." Jasper walked by Emmett and handed him the hundred dollar bill. "Go change buddy, you smell like food." Emmett grabbed the bill from Jasper and headed towards Rosalie, grabbed her and walked towards their room.

"Tonight, we mate!" He yelled as he ascended the stairs with Rosalie sagging on his shoulder.

"You're a wild beast." Jasper said as he picked Alice up and kissed her enthusiastically.

"You're following my footsteps." Emmett replied from his bedroom with a laugh.

"Jazzy, give me a second with Edward." Alice returned Jasper's kisses. "Wait for me in the room." She gave him one last kiss and Jasper started climbing the stairs.

"Don't take long babe, Emmett really doesn't know how to control his lust and I'm going crazy here." He gave her a wild smile and nodded towards me. "I'm sorry Edward." And Jasper was in the room removing his clothe.

"This is were she lives." Alice said scribbling down something on a piece of notepad paper. "You wont do anything drastic." She told me trying to hold back her lusty thoughts of what she was planning on doing to Jasper in a few seconds.

I gave her a small smile. "Thanks Ali." I took the piece of paper and put it on my back pocket. She gave me one last smile before running up the stairs.

Don't worry Edward, you'll be able to us all back for this.

Alice thought as she walked into her room and greeted a nude Jasper.

"Rosie babe, you're on fire!" Emmett was whispering into Rosalie's ear.

"I need to get out of here." I said to myself as I took the piece of paper Alice had given me and looked at the address. Run or drive? A load moan came drifting down from Jasper's and Alice's room. Run, the fresh will do me good.

The trip would've taken a human about an hour and a half. I was there in less than ten minutes. The wonders vampirism can do.

Isabel lived in an apartment complex. There were only four apartments, ground level. They looked more like condominiums than apartments, minus the second floor. The apartments were surrounded by trees, plants, and the occasional animal. Isabel's bedroom window faced the edge of the forest, I found the closest tree to her window and climbed it within seconds. I leaned over the branch and lifted her window open. What was it with girls and leaving their windows open?! I made a mental note to give Isabel a speech on safety and windows. I slowly creep into Isabel's room to find it empty. The bed was empty, the lights were off and she was talking to herself in the kitchen.

I took a few seconds to get acquainted with her room. Everything was white. Her bed, her night stand, her desk, her laptop, her vanity, the rug in front of her bed, the small lovers seat with hot pink throw pillows. Her comforter was white with hot pink lilies on it. Resting on her bed was a hot pink plush dog that held a white heart which read kiss me in red.

"Now go back to your bed and sleep Isabel! Stop thinking about him!" Isabel was talking to herself as she walked into the room. It took me half a second to hide myself in her closet.

Isabel flopped onto her bed and a few seconds later whispered something that made my stomach do somersaults. She whispered my name into her pillow. Isabel laid on her back, staring at the ceiling.

"I'm going crazy." She said, took a deep breath and closed her eyes. The wind was making the trees scratch and knock on the window. She fell asleep in a matter of minutes.

"Stop thinking about him!" I kept on replaying her words in my head, followed by my whispered name. Could she be talking about me? Was I the one who she kept on thinking about? I shook my head.

Stupid me. I am no one special to deserve a second chance. I walked towards her bed and grabbed the hot pink plush dog from her bed. Kiss me. No doubt her boyfriend had given it to her as a token or remembrance. I could just picture it, Valentine's day and they had gone out; maybe to a movie or dinner and he had given her the plush toy as he walked her back home. Isabel would squeal and hug him as she opened the door and invited him in, to a night of love making, where she moaned his name countless of times. Edward, Edward. That was surely his name.

Isabel turned in her sleep, grabbed the pillow next to her and threw her leg and arm around it, squeezing it against her body. She probably did that to Edward once the love making was over.

I leaned against her vanity and watched as Isabel dreamed sweet dreams of her lover, Edward.

I was stupid to even think Alice's vision had anything to do with Isabel and I getting intimate. I wasn't special, I wasn't the exception to the rule. Vampires fall in love only once, mate only once. That was it.

The sun was slowly greeting the sky as Isabel's alarm clock rang, she tossed to her left and hit the clock with her hand. Before she turned around, I climbed out the window and onto the forest. Making my way back home in less than ten minutes.
