Chapter 10

Recap:

"Do you mean the girl who lives with Charlie?" I nodded. "Oh of course, Bella Swan. Sorry, but Charlie always said her name was Isabella."

"He talked about her lots before she came here?" I asked, hurt.

"Well yes he did, but are you her cousin?"

I shook my head. "No I am her sister." I stood up. "I am sorry, but I have to go." I ran for the door.

"Taylor, wait!" I heard Edward yell for me, but I didn't stop running, I couldn't. How could Charlie not talk about me? I was his daughter too. Tears poured down my face as fast as rain would fall from the cloud to the cement below. I heard footsteps behind me but I kept running, I couldn't face them now. BELLA! I screamed inside my head. I need you! I finally reached the borderline of Forks. I seen Bella's old red Chevy a few feet away from me, and the footsteps behind me slowly faded away to nothing.

"Taylor, hurry up. It's freezing out there." Bella screamed.

I hopped into the truck, breathing heavily. "How did you know where I was?"

"I.. I don't know. I heard you in my head, it was the weirdest thing. Am I going crazy Tay?"

I laughed at her, "No not at all. Let's go home, I am tired."

Bella smiled. "Okay."

Taylor Swan

I awoke the next morning feeling groggy and tired. Last night was horrible, I cried myself to sleep, I must have cried while I was sleeping too. My pillow was still soaked from my fallen tears. I sighed and climbed out of the bed. I walked clumsily towards my closet, pulling out random clothes. I sighed again and went to the bathroom to have a shower, amazingly Bella wasn't in there. Did I wake up earlier than I thought? I heard voices coming from downstairs, nope I just overslept. Great.

I got out of the shower five minutes later, making my way downstairs. Hoping Charlie was gone already, but God must hate me because he was still here.

He looked up when I walked into the kitchen. "Good morning Tay." He smiled at me, wrinkles covering most of his face.

I looked at him, "Morning."

"Rough night sweetheart?" He asked.

I glared at him. "What right do you have to call me sweetheart?" Oh no, the tears were coming back. "According to you, you only have one daughter and I am just apparently a cousin."

Charlie looked confused, than realization dawned on his face, "Taylor I..."

"No I don't want to hear it Charlie." The tears were now freely flowing down my face, the traitors.

Bella stood up from her chair, "Okay, will someone please tell me what this all about?"

I looked at her, "Can't you tell Bella? I am just a nobody, a mistake. I wasn't suppose to live, and your father over there wanted to believe it so bad that he told everyone that you were his only daughter and that I was just somebody living with you!" I turned around and ran out the door.

"Taylor!" Bella screamed, I couldn't stop. I wanted to, she was my sister but I just couldn't. My legs kept forcing themselves forward.

I didn't know where I was going, but I just kept running. Ignoring the ache in every part of my body, my lungs screaming for more air, I ignored it all and just ran. It felt so good to just run and not worry about anything wrong in my life. Of course Charlie would not consider me his daughter, the way I was acting why should he want to? It still hurt though, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself it still hurt. I was Charlie's deep dark secret, I was the prize for the mistake that he made. I don't know how I thought coming here would change his mind about me.

I finally stopped, I dropped to the hard ground, tears once again pouring down my face. I looked around blindly, how far did I run? I was in the forest surrounding the Cullens home. Great. I laid on the ground, pulling my legs up to my chest, I wouldn't be able to go anywhere until all the tears were out of my system. So I was stuck here.

"Whose out here?" I heard a voice call from a distance. I didn't answer. "Whose out there?" The voice asked again. I curled up into a tighter ball and closed my eyes, waiting for the world to swallow me up.

Bella Swan

Bella glared daggers at Charlie, what an imbecile. "How could you do that?"

Charlie glanced up from his coffee. "I'm sorry Bella, but you just don't understand."

I raised my eyebrow. "Don't understand? Are you serious? What's not to understand?" My voice was getting louder with each word. "Taylor is the daughter you were never suppose to have, and now you feel ashamed because you had to cheat on my mom for Taylor to be here. I will tell you something Charlie," He cringed when I said his name. "She was not a mistake, if anything she was a godsend. She has helped my family in so many ways, she moved here because I begged her to come with me. What you did was unforgivable but you gave me a sister, we are more alike than anyone realizes, and you better realize what a gift she is before you lose both of us." He looked up at me in surprise. "I just can't believe you Charlie, I talked to Edward Cullen last night. Do you know what he told me?"

"No."

"He told me that you have never ONCE mentioned Taylor to anyone. All you ever did was talk about me." I was an inch away from his face. "You hurt Taylor beyond repair and I want you to fix it or we are gone."

"How can I just fix something like that?" Charlie asked.

"Figure it out. You have two months Charlie." I hissed, and walked out the door. Wow, that actually felt good.

I grabbed Taylor's cellphone out of my pocket. I hope she has the number. Gees, she has a lot of people in here. Aha, here it is. I dialled the number and put the phone to my ear, it rang only once.

"Taylor?" The male voice asked.

"No, sorry, it's Bella." I replied.

"What do you want?" He growled.

"Hey now, none of what happened yesterday was my fault so just shut up and listen to what I have to say."

There was a pause, then. "Yes Ma'am."

I stifled a giggle. "Good. I need your help to find Taylor. She ran off this morning after yelling at Charlie, and I have no idea how far she ran."

"Don't worry, I'll find her and I will call you as soon as I do."

"Thank you." I hung the phone up.

Edward Cullen

"Thank you." Bella replied and hung the phone up.

I sighed and went outside smelling the air for any familiar scent. I just hope she wasn't stupid enough to come wandering into our forest. My family is hunting today. I walked around the forest edge when I heard the fast beating of a heart.

"Whose out here?" I called, nervously. No answer, I tried again. "Whose out there?" I walked further into the forest, then her smell hit me with full force. I ran the rest of the way towards her.

I reached her a few minutes later, she was curled up into a tight ball. I crouched down so I could see her better. There was dirt and twigs wrapped around her hair, and her clothes were covered in mud and leaves. Her face from what I could see was dirty everywhere except two streaks down her face where she had been crying.

"Taylor?" I asked calmly.

"Go away." She muttered.

"Now don't be like that, we should get you cleaned up." I chastised.

She turned to look at me, "I guess you're right." I started to pick her up bridal style. "I can walk you know."

I laughed, "I figured, I just wanted to carry you." She gave me the strangest look and I started laughing again. "Never mind, just come on Taylor." She nodded and we walked back to my house.

"Thanks." She said when I got her everything she needed for a shower. She gave me me a stern look. "Now no peeking."

I rolled my eyes and walked away, going towards my bedroom. "Well come join me when your done." I winked at her and her cheeks turned bright red.

I dialled Taylor's cell phone number and only had to wait half a ring for Bella to pick up. "Edward, did you find her?"

I laughed. "Of course I did. She is having a shower right now, but if you want you can come over."

"I wasn't waiting for an invitation." She replied and hung up.

I shook my head, "What a girl."

Taylor Swan

I hopped into the hot shower, letting the water loosen my muscles. This felt better than this mornings, I laughed at myself and hurriedly finished my shower. I got dressed and ran a brush quickly through my hair. I opened the door, and slammed into a short figure, knocking me back an inch.

"Bella?" I asked surprised. "What are you doing here?"

She glared at me, honestly I was scared. "What am I doing here? I was worried sick about you! Just because it is a small town does not mean that there aren't monsters out there." I cringed at the word monsters.

"I'm sorry, it just felt like the right thing to do at the time." I whimpered.

"Well you're just lucky that Edward found you and not some sicko." She replied.

"Are you done?" I asked.

She thought about it for a moment. "Yes, I think I am."

I sighed, "Good." I looked behind her. "Edward!" I half yelled.

"Yes Taylor?" He asked, his eyes bearing into mine.

"Do you have any food, I am kinda hungry." I muttered embarrassed.

He smiled, and took my hand, making my cheeks go hotter. "Of course I do."

I looked over at Bella. "Coming sis?" She just nodded and followed behind us.

We sat down in the kitchen at the island. Bella was watching every move of Edward's, when suddenly he flinched and turned to look at me. "Taylor, do you think you could run to the store and pick up some vegetable, we seem to be out." He smiled at me. "Of course you can take my car, I know how much you hate Bella's truck."

I smiled. "Okay," and ran out the door with way more money than what was needed.

Bella Swan

Edward turned toward me slowly, then sighed. "How did you find out? Did Taylor tell you?"

I raised my eyebrow slightly, "Tell me what, that your a vampire?" He nodded. "I figured it out on my own, although I am sure she would have told me. With your permission of course."

He sighed again. "How did you figure it out?"

I smiled at him, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. If though you guys are dead, I know you still have a right to live here."

"That still doesn't answer my question Bella."

"A friend told me, even though he said that they were just scary stories. I knew better." I smiled again.

"This friend wouldn't happen to be from the reservation now would he?"

"Well yeah, Jacob Black is real nice. Told me all the little secrets of their ancestry, he is such a nice guy." I sighed.

"Sounds like you like him Bella." Edward teased.

I blushed. "Well I do, and Quil liked Taylor; but it seems to me that she likes you more."

He coughed slightly, a smile hidden by his hands. "Yes, well I don't think Taylor should like me; but it seems that no matter how hard I try to resist her she pulls me back."

"Edward, there is something you need to know about Taylor and I." I hesitated, I wasn't sure Taylor would want me to spill our secret. "As you know, Taylor and I are Charlies daughters. We are twins, so to speak. Born the same day, same time, same everything except the fact that we come from two different mothers."

"How can you be twins than?" Edward asked, suddenly interested.

"Nobody knows. Well Taylor's mom died when she was four, so my mom took her. I imagine that was an awkward conversation. Taylor was Charlie's dirty little secret, had an affair on my mom. Than nine months later we were both born, since we were born we have always had a connection. When we turned 13 we found that we could do things."

"What kind of things?"

"Well for me, I can read people's minds, and block people from reading mine. I can also move stuff with my mind. I guess my mind is pretty strong." I laughed. "Taylor, well she is a different story, she can do way more things than I can, not like she believes me though. She can control the weather, have you ever noticed when she is sad or angry it rains?" He nodded. "Or when she is happy it is a total heat wave, which is rare for Forks." I took a breath. "She can see the future too, not as well as Alice I imagine. Her power lies more in seeing someone's past. I also think she can control the four elements."

"What?"

"Yeah, this one time she was mad at me and we were having this really big argument, and than out of nowhere I was shot down by a rock."

"Why didn't she tell me about that?" Edward asked.

"I suppose it may have been she didn't want you to think you were a freak."

"Why would I think of her as a freak when I am in love with her-" Edward stopped talking, his eyes going wide.

I gave him a questioning look. "You are in love with her? You have only known her for like two weeks."

"I am a vampire remember? I know when I have found my mate."

"Your mate?" Than it dawned on me, "If she is your mate, than that means you will have to turn her."

"I don't have to. I don't want to honestly, she doesn't deserve this kind of life." Edward muttered.

I started laughing. "Edward, Taylor has loved vampires ever since she was seven. She would change, not for you but for herself."

"What about you? Wouldn't you be alone if she did that?"

I shook my head, "Maybe sometimes, but she deserves to be happy Edward. She has had a pretty hard life."

"I'm back!" Taylor yelled, walking through the door.

Edward cleared his throat. "Hey Taylor, have fun?"

Taylor snorted. "Has if, I just went to the store. So what did you guys do when I was gone?"

I smiled, "We were talking about you, when you were little." Taylor blushed then glared at me.

"She is only kidding." Edward replied, holding his arms out to embrace her. Don't touch her I hissed at him, or she will see what we were just talking about!. He moved away dejectedly.

Taylor looked at him, and then at me. Confusion plastered onto her face. "What's going on?"

Edward looked at me and I shrugged. "Taylor I need to talk to you for a minute."

"Okay." She said slowly. "Let's go upstairs then."

Edward picked her up bridal style and flew up the stairs.

Taylor Swan

Edward put me down on his couch, in his bedroom. I looked at him patiently. "What is it?"

Edward looked at me, "Taylor, I know I shouldn't be telling you this now, but I love you."

"You what?" I asked.

"I love you." He said. "You are my mate, as us vampires call it. And as my mate, you have to make a choice."

I nodded. "Either be one of you, or you leave forever right?"

"Eventually."

"It's only been like two weeks."

"I know. It's a very important question and you probably need time to think about it."

I smiled. "Yeah, give me a few days." Than he kissed me.
