A/N: Hey guys! Here's another update. I hope it's worth the 3 day wait. Enjoy!

I spent the rest of the night packing what little I had brought. I asked Shai and Miles about their luggage and they stated simply that they'd left it in their car. I nodded and continued to pack. Shai came into the bedroom. She sat on the bed and looked at me curiously.
"Bella dear," she began, "tell me more about Edward." I just stared at her, not knowing what exactly to say. I'd told her basically everything about everyone.
"What do you want to know?" I asked.
"Well for starters, what does he look like? He must be something special to have caught your eye." She winked subtly and smiled. She knew me too well.
"Umm, well…" and I began a twenty minute description of a man I'd met only one day ago. Shai listened politely, a smile playing on her face the entire time. She seemed intrigued by what I told her. As I finished, Miles sauntered into the room. He looked at me and then at Shailene. His eyebrows arched when he saw the smirk on his wife's face.
"What have you two been talking about?" he wondered.
"Girl stuff Sparky," Shailene offered. "You wouldn't want to know." Miles frowned at her answer. She bounced off the bed and ran to him, giving him a quick kiss. That seemed to make him forget. I just watched them as he held her close. There was a look in his eye, something that told me this was the real thing. I'd seen that look only a few times before. I saw it when Alice and Jasper looked at each other and also when Emmett would steal glances at Rosalie. I sighed, wishing I could find someone who would look at me that way. Maybe my dear, you already have. I heard Shai think.
I'd forgotten at Shailene's power. She could see your deepest desires. She knew the secret wishes of your heart. I glanced at her. She smiled at me briefly and then looked up to gaze at her husband. My darling Bella, the way you talk about him…well…I wouldn't be surprised if there was a future in store for the two of you. Believe me. I know. She gave me a knowing wink and then pushed herself up on her tip toes to give Miles another sweet kiss. He smiled widely and wrapped her into a hug. I turned away to give them a private moment. The moments of true love that went on between them were meant to be private. I went over to my closet once more to make sure I hadn't left anything. I waited a couple more minutes and then heard Miles think, Ok Bells. We're done. You can turn around now. I could hear him laughing. I turned around slowly. They were standing, both of them holding a bag of mine.
"Are you ready?" Miles asked out loud. I nodded my head. "Let's head out then." We all headed for the door. I walked down to the front desk and turned in my key.
"Thank you for the wonderful service Mr. Dwyer. Perfect as usual."
"It's always a pleasure Ms. Swan," said Mr. Dwyer, the manager. "Let me get someone to help you with your bags." I was about to tell him it wasn't necessary when he called for a bell boy. "Jacob!" I saw a large, mature looking teenage boy running toward me. He smiled a goofy grin, one that warmed my heart. "Jacob, help Miss Swan with her bags." Jacob eagerly took the bags from our hands and led me out the door.
"How was your stay Ms. Swan?" he asked politely.
"Call me Bella."
"Well, Bella…the question still stands."
"It was very nice thank you." I admired his manners and his grin. He was a cute boy. He reminded me of someone I'd known long ago. "How do you like working here?" I asked, trying to continue the small talk. Miles and Shailene had gone ahead of me, clearly wanting some more alone time. I, however, was in no rush to get back.
"Oh it's great," Jacob answered enthusiastically. "My dad doesn't like it much because it's so far from the reservation. I've had to rent a place up here, but it pays well and it keeps me busy."
"Reservation?" I asked.
"I'm Quileute. I used to live on a reservation in La Push. But once my mom died and my dad, well, his health isn't that great, I came here to get a job."
"Wow. How old are you?"
"I'll be 19 in a couple of months."
"Well, happy early birthday. Thanks so much for all your help." I pointed to my car and he loaded the bags into the back.
"Thanks. It was nice to talk to you. Maybe I'll see you again sometime." He turned swiftly and raced back to the hotel. I heard a car pull up next to me.
"You ready Bells?" Miles asked.
"If I have to be." Shailene laughed.
"Well, you have to be! So get in your car and let's go!"
"Lead the way Bells." I stepped into my car and revved the engine. I sped home, Miles and Shailene on my tail. As my beautiful home came into view, I sighed. I felt any overwhelming peace being back here. I tried to listen to the thoughts of my friends when they turned into the drive way. They fell in love with it immediately. I smiled slightly and got out of my car. I took all my bags out of my car and rushed inside. I unpacked quickly and ran to Charlie's room. He must have cleaned everything out himself, because there was nothing left in his room. I thought about giving that room to Miles and Shailene. I shook my head, knowing that room was far too small for two grown people. I decided to let them choose their own room. I went back downstairs and outside to help unload their car. There weren't too many bags. We were able to get everything into the house within a couple of trips.
"Bella," Shailene exclaimed, "this house is beautiful! I'm going to love it here!" She spun around in little circles, something she's always done when she was excited. And then, she disappeared. I laughed a genuine laugh for the first time in a long time. I sank down onto one of the huge sofas. Miles plopped down next to me.
"This house," he said softly, "seems familiar to you, doesn't it." I just stared at him. How could he have known that? I nodded. "Do you know why Bells?" I shook my head. He looked me in the eyes. I could see him struggling with himself.
"Miles, just tell me."
"It's familiar…because…"
"I swear if you don't tell me in the next five seconds…" I trailed off. He was very aware of what I could do, perhaps more aware. (A/N: I don't feel like making a whole conversation of explaining Miles's power so I'm just gonna tell you. He can see your power and can usually figure out a way to block it…the mind powers at least…kinda like human Bella. It Bella's case, he can see all of her powers, even ones she hasn't discovered yet…so…back to the story…)
"It's familiar because, well Bells, this was your house before you were changed. I know that some of the furniture is different, but most of this house is still the same. It's been slightly modernized but it's almost impossible not to recognize. I can't help but think of everything we experienced here. Now, don't tell Shailene that I'm telling you this, but we had our first kiss in your backyard," he said. I just sat there in awe. I'd lived here? I looked at Miles and silently begged him to tell me more. "Are you sure you're ready for more?" he asked. I nodded again and he began the story of my life…at least all that he knew…

I rushed home as fast as I could. As I pulled up to the house, Alice was waiting outside for me. She had a slight look of concern and also confusion.
"I had a vision," she said.
"Well Alice, that is normal for you."
"Stop being cheeky and let me show you."
Bella was sitting at home. Two vampires walked in to the room with her. She knew them, her body language said that. They talked with her, trying their best to calm her down. They told her they'd never let anyone ever hurt her again. The male had a fierce look in his eye. Though no danger was present, he already had a defensive stance around Bella and the other female. There was a strange noise coming from another room. Suddenly, a red-eyed vampire ran into the room. The other male tried his best to fight him off, but didn't succeed. The red-eyed intruder looked hungrily at Bella and made a grab for her. Bella yelled out two names…Miles and Shailene. And then, in a matter of seconds, she was gone with her captor.
"Bella!" I gasped. "Alice, how do I get to Bella's house?"
"I'm psychic Edward…not Map Quest." I growled and instead of going inside to ask Carlisle about my dream, I got into my car again. I couldn't let Bella get taken. Not now…not ever.
A/N: So…how was it? There are so many unanswered questions. Is it driving you as insane as it's driving me? P.S. How did you like my special guest? I promise Jacob won't appear any more...I just love him so much i needed to add him in at least one of my stories...Well…review and I'll update…
Much love,
Ebony!
