Thanks For all the reviews people! You guys make me happy!! :)

"Bella, there is something I need to tell you!" Edward spoke to my closed door. "Please open the door."

"No!" I said stubbornly.

I had just got caught trying to sneak out of the house…again. I was desperate to see Ephraim again, to enjoy his easy going nature but every time I mentioned it to Edward he would come up with some distracting idea. My emotions flipped to anger at Edward for keeping me here to loving our little outings.

"Please Bella, it will help you…understand some things." He pleaded. His pleas broke my heart but as long as I had a barrier hiding his mesmerizing golden gaze I would not be swayed as easily.

I looked out the window, hoping to see a latch where I could open them. I was out of luck. It wouldn't have been plausible anyway with me on the second story.

Edward would have caught me… came an errant thought. He was good at appearing out of nowhere and in time to save me from the worst of my falls, no matter how far away he had been in the first place.

I had begun to see the minute differences that marked the Cullens as different, things that went beyond their hair and eyes. They had an unnatural grace to them for one thing, and also their senses seemed to pick up my quietest noise, foiling my attempt to get outside.

I sighed as my vision slid in and out. I was getting used to it now. It no longer caused me discomfort but curiosity. How could the Cullens be in the past and the present? I groaned, more mysteries.

Finally giving in to Edward's pleas, I wrenched open the door, enjoying the surprise on his face way too much. He opened his mouth to say something and I raised my hand to stop him.

"I don't want you to tell me something because I was angry at you. Let's just forget it." I said.

He tried to start several times that only came out as half-articulated before I stopped him. I went downstairs, with him following behind.

Once we were downstairs I stopped, a sudden thought came to me. I turned to him, suddenly shy, "Edward, would you play the piano for me?"

Laughing at my blush, he pulled me on to the bench. I had heard him at night when nightmares woke me up and I quickly fell in love with his playing. It was so beautiful.

I closed my eyes, shutting off both past and present and allowing the music to swell around me. I sighed. I didn't want him to stop.

But he did and I realized this was the time to ask, when he was happy. Unable to look at him, I stated, "I love it when you play. I need one more thing to make this day perfect."

"What is it?" he asked eagerly, honestly curious.

"I want to go out." I whispered.

He hesitated a moment and then said, "I'll go get Esme to pack something to eat and we can have a picnic."

I groaned and turned from him to get off the bench. "You have no power over me Edward. I can leave if I want to."

"You can try, but I cannot allow you to," he said in a devastated voice, "It is too dangerous."

I was going to stomp off to my room but something caught my eye. It was me, in my own time period. She…I was wearing a blue blouse that I recognized and I was standing next to Edward. His arm was around my waist. The scene made me smile. Would Edward and I get to that point of a relationship? It gave me an unidentifiable emotion churning through me.

"Your home is lovely," I said. Shock rang through me. I had never heard before. I always saw but never had sound to go with it. Would I get to the point where I would be stuck between times?

Suddenly my body went fuzzy, like a bad signal on the TV. Edward stayed as clear as ever but I slowly disappeared. I couldn't move after the scene disappeared and my vision went back to normal. I had just watched my future disintegrate.

I walked out to the porch, telling Edward I needed some space. He obliged willingly, probably thinking he offended me somehow. I had every intention of running away, far, far away.

I made it one step off the porch careful to make as little sound. I was stepping on to some wet rocks when I made a mistake of looking back. My feet slid out from under me and I instinctively held out my hands to catch my fall. My one good hand landed on a rock, slicing my hand.

As the blood welled up out of the cut, several things happened to make me forget the sickness that I get from seeing blood.

First was the growl, which caused me to look up.

I saw two pale figures in the forest, one small with spiky black hair and a terrified expression on her face and the other had blond hair and was coming at me. Death rushed up to meet me.

Then came the deafening crash as another pale blur with bronze hair met the other. It sounded as if two boulders were meeting up with each other. They were both dragged into the woods out of sight and sound.

My gaze drifted to the other small pixie with the same pale skin and golden eyes as the Cullens. To my astonishment, I had seen her before. When I had seen my own time period, she was there, as a part of the Cullen family.

She gave me an apologetic glance, "I'm so sorry, Bella." She said and went in the direction the two blurs went, one that I knew instinctively was Edward.

She knew my name…

I was interrupted by Carlisle dragging me into the house. I collapsed in the first chair I saw as Carlisle cleaned and bandaged the cut. "Bella…is there somewhere you can go for the afternoon?"

I immediately thought of Ephraim, "Yes, can I use your phone?"

He nodded and left. I eagerly waited for the some one to answer, "Hello? Is Ephraim there? Yes, I can wait…Ephraim? I need to get out of here. I need to talk."

Now, I wonder who they could be... :P
