Here we are. I just wanted to thank all of my reviewers, and how better to do so than with a new chapter? So here you are, Chapter Ten, in… EPOV!!! Huzzah!

Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I really really wish that I owned Twilight. Cause then I'd have a million dollars (Then I'd have a million dollars) and I'd buy me a house (Yes, I'd buy me a big house)… You know the rest…

School was going to be hell.

All I wanted to do was go visit the Denali clan for a while, until things settled down. But that wasn't an option. It would be too suspicious of me to disappear at the same time as Bella.

At that thought, I felt my stomach clench. Where had she gone? My family and I had been talking for an hour - well, they'd been talking for an hour, I had been too absorbed in my own problems to contribute much – and somewhere in that time, her body had vanished. There was no evidence of anyone being in there, but it wasn't as if she could just get up and walk away.

I cringed. All of this was my fault. She couldn't get up and walk away because I'd killed her.

But that brought back the question: Where was she?

Bella Swan had brought so many problems with her.

Why couldn't I resist her blood? Why was she the one person that cracked my self control? Why did I kill her? Here did her body disappear to? And why the hell are my eyes green?

Those were all questions I dwelled upon as I drove my siblings and myself to Forks High.

"Hey," Alice said softly, reaching her hand out to grip my shoulder lightly from her place in the passenger seat. "De-clench, would you? It will all turn out for the better." Correctly interpreting my skeptical glance, she said with a smile, "It always does."

I grunted a reply, not in the mood for conversation.

We reached the school in minimal time and I steeled myself for a hard day.

Just as I stepped out of the car, a solid form ran into me. Whoever it was fell to the ground with the force of the impact, making a noise of protest.

I looked down, ready to apologize. The words caught in my throat, however, when I looked into the warm brown eyes and heart shaped face of Bella.

It couldn't believe it. It was just in the realm of impossible. To think that the girl whose life I'd taken away, the one that I'd thought about, grieved over for the last sixteen hours was sitting in a puddle, looking up at me innocently.

There was no way that it wasn't her. Her chocolate locks plastered on her pale skin, the plump lips that were now so full of color, the rain drops falling on her face as she raised her eyes to mine, it was all so familiar. There was no doubt in my mind that it was her. But how? How could she be still living? Unless I'd turned her into one of us…

No. It couldn't have happened like that. She was dead. She couldn't have come back as quickly as she had if she had been turned. It would have taken three days. But it had to be…

"Bella?" breathed Alice from beside me.

The girl at my feet shifted her eyes from my green ones to Alice's golden ones, but there was no recognition in them.

"I'm sorry?" she said, her breathy voice reaching my ears.

At that moment, another voice came to us. "Sammy," it cried. This one, unlike the one that came from Bella's lips, was familiar. It was melodic and I would be able to recognize it anywhere.

You're not a monster…

My head snapped up at the sound, as did the girl's. The girl smiled making her look almost childlike.

I stood frozen as a girl came running toward us, her hair flying behind her and her face taut with worry. "Sammy," she said, her voice a mixture of relief and scolding. "I told you to stay by me." When the girl on the ground did nothing but blink up at her, smiling, she sighed and held out her hand to help her up. (A/N Wow, that was a confusing sentence.) "At all times," she specified. Finally, she looked up at my family and I and her eyes and smile widened. "Hi," she said.

So, Bella had a twin. Or were they triplets? That would make much more sense.

"Bella, Bella!" cried the girl that must be Sammy. There goes my theory. "Look! I made new friends!"

That surprised us all. She didn't even know our names.

Bella rolled her eyes, but patted her doppelganger on the head, and said, "That's nice, dear."

I still couldn't believe it. "Bella?" I asked, tentatively. She looked at me, and smiled. It was her.

"Yes, Edward?" She looked at me blankly for a few seconds, and none of us said anything. Misunderstanding our silent shock as something else, she said, "Oh! Right! This is my sister, everyone. Sammy, these are the Cullens."

"The Cullens!" Sammy yelped. "You mean-"

"Hey, Edward," Bella interrupted. "Did you get new contacts?"

I looked at her strangely. "Contacts?" Why would I need contacts?

She stepped closer, almost touching me, but not quite, standing on her toes to put less difference in our heights. I hadn't noticed before then that she was so much shorter than I was. She kept her eyes on mine and looked so sweet. I tried telling myself that the reason I wasn't breathing was because I didn't want a repeat of the day before.

Bella bit her lip and observed me from beneath her lashes. "Your eyes," she said. "They're green."

I cleared my throat nervously and took a step back. Immediately, I missed our closeness.

Coldly, I told her, "My eyes have always been green."

She followed my lead and took a step back. She looked hurt by my tone. "Oh," she said in a small voice. "Sorry, I just thought…"

She trailed off as Sammy tugged on her arm. "Bella," she whispered. "Bella, I want to go see Caolen and the others."

"Not now, Sammy," she said, placating her twin.

"But, Bella, you promised him. After I walked into our room and you two were in there, and I you two stopped whispering in each other's ears and then you jumped off the bed when you saw me, and he pulled you back down and held onto your hand and-"

"Yes, Sammy, I know. I was there." Bella's face now had a tinge of red. It was quite endearing. But who was this Caolen guy?

"-and he started to whisper in your ear again, and you said that you'd continue this tomorrow." Sammy smiled triumphantly, as if it were a feat for her to have remembered all of that. "Today is tomorrow!"

"Yes, sweetie, it is," Bella said with a smile.

Alice decided that this was the perfect time for her to interrupt. "Who's Caolen?" she asked.

Rosalie was thinking that Bella had just come back from the dead and all Alice could care about was the girl's boyfriend.

I glared at her fiercely. Bella didn't have a boyfriend. Did she?

I looked at Bella as she answered. "Caolen is a friend of mine." That's it? No explanation? Really, who is this guy?

"Do we know him?" Alice persisted.

She hesitated slightly. "No, no, I don't think so."

Alice looked at me. "Does he live around here at all?" Why was she prying? It was none of our business. I didn't want to admit that I was perhaps even more curious than her.

"Actually," said a deep voice. "I just moved here."

"And I decided to come with."

Bella's jaw dropped and I'm sure most of the girls in the vicinity had the same reaction. Standing just outside the circle our group made were two men. I am comfortable enough in my masculinity to say that they did have a certain appeal to women.

"Zavier," Bella breathed.

"Vivi!" Sammy cried as she launched herself into the boy's arms.

"Mimi!" he cried, laughing. "You sure grew up fast," he said, like an accusation, glancing at Bella, almost blaming her.

"Who are your friends, Bella," Emmett asked protectively. He had already grown attached to her. He thought it was amazing how she did her, literally, death-defying trick and that was enough to get her in his good books. He didn't like the look the boy was giving her.

"What are you doing here?" Bella asked, a pleasant smile on her face, but a hard edge in her voice.

"We need to talk," 'Zavier' said.

"Xavier, now is really not the time," she said quietly. "And you," she hissed, turning to the other boy. "You sure are a lot taller than the last time I saw you. And didn't you learn from last time not to surprise me?"

"Bella, dear," the boy said. "I thought all girls loved surprises."

"I hate surprises," she muttered lowly.

"Bella?" Emmett pressed.

She stopped glaring at the boy and looked at Emmett. "Oh my. You must think me terribly rude. That's the second time today. Everybody, these are my friends, Caolen and Xavier. Boys, these are the Cullens."

"You mean these are the ones-" Xavier started, taking a threatening step towards us.

Bella glided in front of him and put a hand on his chest. I could have sworn she said "Covert operation."

Whatever she said, it made him back off. As if he could take us.

"Look, you two," Bella said, authority in her voice. "I will talk to you later. Like I said. This isn't a good time."

"Alright," Caolen said. The boys looked at each other, Xavier with a hint of the same mischief in his eyes that Bella's seem to have, and Caolen with something more like wry humor. "You are absolutely correct. We have much better things to be doing than standing around here chatting."

"Exactly," Bella said, relieved. "Sammy and I need to get her signed up for her classes and you two need – "

"To get signed up for our classes," Caolen said coolly, leaning against the car behind him. I have never wished for car alarms as much as I did at that moment.

"What?" Bella said sharply.

"We're going to school here," Caolen said, his gaze calculating.

I have never seen anyone as furious as Bella was at that comment.

"Oh, this is fantastic," Sammy said, extatic. "Come on everyone." She grabbed Caolen and Xavier's hands and towed them along. Xavier caught hold of Bella's with his free one as he went by and whispered to her, "I hope you aren't too upset."

She glared at him then quickly flicked her eyes over to us. He firmly shut his lips and glanced at us, himself.

When they saw us looking at them, Bella straightened up and smiled. "Samantha," she trilled, pulling a complete three sixty in personality. "You're pulling us in the wrong direction."

Sammy giggled and turned them all around. They marched past us again and Bella waved as she went by. "See you all later," she laughed.

The five of us stood there for a moment, in silence before Jasper said, "Well, that was strange."

I know, I know, it's still really confusing. I'll introduce Zavier properly next chapter. How did you like the new chapter? I kinda thought it sucked, but, whatever. I wanted to give you guys something.

Love you all,
