I do not own Twilight.

I watch the girls as they communicate with their eyes, no words spoken until Bella demands an explanation, and an introduction to her "friend". From what I can determine, Bella is really Katherine, and Katherine's twin who now introduces herself is really Bella. Confusing much? Bella shakes my hand, her small fingers engulfed in mine. A current, almost surge like bolt of electricity shoots up my arm and into my shoulder. I've never felt anything like it before in my life, and even though I need to let go of Bella's hand, I can't bring myself to pull my own away. Her deep brown eyes hold me within their intense stare, and it's not until Katherine clears her throat and motions Bella to the empty bar stool that the spell is broken.

Katherine is seated between the both of us, and starts to explain, "I know you are both waiting for an explanation, but first I need to introduce myself to you properly, Edward." She holds her hand out for me to shake once again, and there's no electrical phenomenon like there is with Bella. It wasn't there the first time I shook her hand either. How bizarre.

"I'm Katherine Ann Swan, but my friends call me Kate or Katie. You can call me either. Isabella," she says with a touch of sarcasm, "only full names me when she's angry or upset with me.

"I honestly had no intention of misleading or lying to you. I was only coming in for a couple of drinks to calm down, then head home to the shitfest that is my life right now. I hope once I explain to you why, that you'll understand and forgive me."

She looks at me with the same deep brown eyes as Bella, and it's impossible to say no. I'm not sure why she's going to such trouble to justify her actions to me. It's not like I'll ever see them again. I nod anyway, and await her explanation.

I'm sorry this is late. Laptop is back and I'm madly trying to catch up on work.

I know this chapter isn't Katherine's answers as yet, but if you leave me some love I'll try to get the next chapter out in the morning for you.

Thank you all again for reading and reviewing.
