Bella's POV;
I knew she'd want to know sometime, but… I contemplated weather to tell her or not. I decided for the latter. "Well… I can't remember it well. I lost a lot of my human memories when I changed." I looked at her and she was shocked. How can she remember me? I smiled at her, a sad smile though. "I only remembered the ones that had to do with," I hesitated, "Edward, and the rest of you guys. Some of them are the best, but others are… not so much." I looked away, trying not to remember the pain of this mornings' 'viewing'.
Alice looked shocked, but composed herself. "And… do you remember the day you changed?" She was hesitant to question me. I could tell. I looked at her, and she looked back at me, not breaking the stare. "I remember it well… I was in the meadow, looking for a way to connect to Edward, to help me handle the absence… but I saw Laurent. I remember he was the same, the exact same. I always thought he'd have topaz eyes, but they were still burgundy. He still hunted humans." The last sentence was in a whisper, but Alice heard.
I continued, gaining back my normal voice. "So, he was telling me about the plans Victoria had for me, and he said I should be glad he found me instead." I looked at her and she was staring at me in horror, at the memories she was hearing. "So, he walked to me, and I couldn't move. He reminded me of you guys so much I couldn't move, no matter how much danger I knew I was in." I sighed, and finished in a whisper. "He bit me then, and was going to finish me off, but there was an interruption. Wolves came, and chased him off. I remember that clearly, even though the pain I was in. I knew I couldn't stay there, but I knew I couldn't go home, so I went to the one place that I knew was empty… You're old house." She looked at me with shock.
How did you make it there? In all that pain? She questioned me with her thoughts. I nodded. "It took a long time, but I knew I had to get there. I was scared the wolves were going to come turn back or Laurent for that matter. When I got to your house, the door was unlocked. I went to Edwards' room and let the transformation complete. I was in so much pain Alice, it was unbelievable. The fire in my veins…," I couldn't finish, my voice was saturated with the pain I felt.
I felt her arms around me, and I heard her voice calming me, soothing me. I sobbed tearless sobs in her shirt again, but this time it wasn't from happiness or from the pain of the memories, but because I know Edward was around, and he didn't love me.
Edward's POV;
I couldn't stand being in the classroom, when I knew Bella was around somewhere. I tried going into Alice's thoughts, but she blocked me out. I wonder why she'd do that. I let out a frustrated sigh. Bella, here, now in the same high school. I wonder what class she has next. At that thought, I knew were I was going next, the office. Mrs. Loss was sitting at her desk, working on the computer. She looked up when I walked in. Oh Edward! I wonder what he wants. She patted down her frizzy hair and looked at me. I smiled, "Hello Mrs. Loss. I was wondering, do you by chance know an Isabella Swan?" I knew they were related somehow. "Why yes actually. New student, she just started today. Why?" I looked at her, surprised how easy it was. "Well, I was wondering, do you think I could have a copy of her schedule?" I asked her, 'dazzling' her with my eyes. She looked flustered for a moment and then came back down to earth.
"Well, I'm not supposed to do that…" she was contemplating the battle in her head. Although, they look enough to be siblings! What the heck, why not. "Just a moment, I need to print out a copy of it…," she didn't finish her sentence and clicked some stuff on the computer. The printer whirled to life, and she handed it to me. "Let's keep this on the hush hush," she asked me. I smiled at her, "Okay, no problem Mrs. Loss." I smiled at her again, and left. I was surprised at the schedule.
1st period- Applied English – Mrs. South
2nd period- Open gym – Mrs. Gabe
3rd period- lunch
4th period- Free period
5th period- Academic biology – Ms. Mendoza
Why would she be taking applied English? She clearly enjoyed English more then anyone. I thought that over when I walked over to my car. I had a free period, but I knew Alice had gym with Bella. I hope she doesn't hurt herself. I chuckled at the thought of Bella stumbling, but then remembered she was a vampire. Damn, how could this happen. I left Forks to let her be safe… not to leave her to Laurent. That thought angered me.
Just when I was tempted to go to the gym class, I saw Alice and Bella, coming from a black car. Bella's car. I wanted to run towards them, but Alice noticed me. She needs more time. At that, I stopped walking, and Bella looked up, noticing me for the first time.
