History is thrilling. I'm glad somebody is here to teach me about the things I lived through. Really, without them I have no idea how I'd know.

I know. Aper knows everything!

"Hey Aper! I need to work on my history. Care to help?"

"Sure Isette. What do you need to know?"

"It's a lot, and I'm not sure if I can remember it all, can we write it down? "

He shrugged so I swapped places with a clearly amused Jace so I could sit next to the slightly less amused Aper.

So what do you need to know?

Everything! There's so much to learn!

Well start asking.

Okay. Tell me about your family.

To put things simply: Carlisle turned Edward, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett. In that order. Alice and I joined later.

You mean: Casm turned Edsty, Esmisle, Emlie, and Romme. In that order. Jace and you joined later?

Sure.

How good are you at guarding your thoughts.

Very good.

That's good. It could get annoying I guess.

Very much so.

So what's the worst part? About the thoughts issue.

Not being able to think about my sister.

Emlie?

No. The other sibling I told you about yesterday.

Alice says he goes kind of berserk and crazy.

Pretty much. I mean, I understand though. I still get depressed about it too. It doesn't help that I'm just as guilty as he is.

Doubtful.

No, I am. I tried to kill her.

Well. That could damper the friendship a little. If she cared, which she probably didn't. It was an accident right?

Yea. She was human. She got a cut and I pretty much lost it. That was just the final straw for him. He left to 'protect her'

Idiot. Why didn't he just change her.

Souls, humanity, etc.

So, changing subjects for a moment, if you ever feel the need to tackle me in class could you say something first? Like a safety word?

Um… sure I'll say 'remember the Alamo?'

Lets cut that down to Alamo okay?

Whatever makes you happy I guess.

Okay. So what was you're sister's name?

Bella

Pretty name.

Beautiful person.

So I hear. So Casm turned Edsty?

Yes

And then Esmisle?

Yes

And then Emlie?

Yes

And then Romme?

Yes

And Jace and you joined later?

Yes

And then Edsty met Isette and she almost died a few times? He didn't want to steal her soul so like an idiot he left? Then you all thought

she was dead and she thought you all didn't want her so she didn't bother correcting the misconception? Then one hundred and

something years later she shows up totally unexpected and nobody knows who she is which is a-w-e-s-o-m-e because it gave her time

to think?

Pretty much. Welcome back sis.

No Alamo?

Maybe later, if it disappoints you that I didn't.

No trust me I'm fine with it.

Okay, if it helps though - I probably would have if I hadn't figured it out already.

How so? You can't read my emotions…

No but I can read Edsty's. He's feeling better than he has in a century and the poor guy has no idea why. You tensed up yesterday when I

said Jacob's name. You've been avoiding Edsty like the plague. You guys came back to the house this morning reeking of werewolf. Then

you were in LaPush this morning. Seriously? No one else would cross that line Bells. You're the only one crazy enough to do it.

Well ruin my fun then.

I didn't tell anyone. I'm sorry, you know.

Wasn't your fault Aper. I told you she doesn't care.

Thanks. So who knows.

Casm, Esmisle, Jace, and You. And the entire Volturi of course. And the pack.

Do you know what he did? When he thought you died?

I know what he tried to do and last I heard he was on attempt seventy three. I never knew why though.

You knew he was doing it?

Yes. Why do you think it never worked?

You stopped him?

Everytime.

How?

Volturi. Duh.

Oh.

Alice can give you the details.

I'll make sure to ask. Sitting with us at lunch?

Yes. You're sitting outside today though.

Why?

In case someone tackles me.

I'd like your opinions. I'd probably beg for them if you asked nice enough.

Jasper knows. Of course Jasper knows. He's really the most perceptive isn't he?
