After looking at all the papers inside the box I set the box on the floor and arranged what I could of the papers on the coffee table. It didn't take me long to put the papers in organizes stacks. I let the photo graphs in the boxes because I didn't want to look at them yet. I turned my attention back to Angela who was looking at all of the papers.

"Wow. You have a ton of information."

"I could have saved it to my computer but I wanted hard copies of everything." I replied. "There might be doubles of some things but I was too lazy to sort them out if they are there."

"So how do you want to go through this information?"Angela asked.

"I would go from the earliest I found like if two where one was 2005 and another that said 2004. 2004 would be the earliest but I don't think they are in order. I tried to keep them that way but it didn't work out that way."

"I get it." Angela said picking up the second stack of papers. "1843. How far did you go back?" Angela asked after looking at the date.

"1843 I think is the earliest. I might have and 1842 but I'm not sure." I told her.

"That's before the Civil War. You could have relatives that fought in the war." Angela said.

"I know. So please start looking."

"Why don't we put the papers in order by year? We could get minimal files to put them in."

"That's a good idea." I said taking a stack of papers for myself and started looking through them.

Angela and I continued working like that for an hour and soon the whole living room was covered in stacks of paper at varying heights.

"Bella taking glances at the papers while sorting them I've noticed you have relatives with the same names as the Cullen's." Angela told me.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"I have found three Emmet's, two Jaspers, and an Edward."

"Last names?" I asked.

"Well the only one I remember is Edward's and it was Marrow; he could be a distant cousin or great so many times over uncle."

"Cool." I replied. "If you have to get home that's fine. I'm just going to head to the store to get those files and two or more plastic boxes to store them in."

"I'll drive. I don't think it would be a good idea when I know you are sleep deprived." Angela said holding her hand out for the keys.

"Why don't we walk then?"

"I'm not sure." Angela said.

"You could take pictures for that article on the history of Forks that you and Eric are working on." Bella countered.

"Fine but you better take the pepper spray Charlie gave you." Angela said.

"How did you know?" Bella asked.

"You are a cop's daughter. He obviously couldn't give you a gun so he gave you the pepper spray because cops use them all the time and wouldn't notice when one went missing but knowing your father he probably bought you one any civilian can use."

"He did. I checked it with the pepper spray on his belt." Bella replied.

"Well come on let's go. I don't want to be out to long."

"Let's go." Bella said as she slipped on her shoes and Jacket.

An hour later the girls were walking back to Bella's house. They store they went to had closed down for the night because of a family emergency.

"I'm sorry I dragged you out this late." Bella told her.

"It's fine. I got a lot of cool pictures of the lights at night."

"You will have to show me when you get them printed." Bella said. "You could even use them in a portfolio for college if you wanted."

"I've thought about that. Have you thought about college at all?"

"Not really. Edward was really pushing me toward it but I never really wanted to go at least not to an Ivy League school anyway."

"Have you thought about what you wanted to do?" Angela asked.

"Not really. I like cooking and literature but that's about it." Bella told her.

"You could take some cooking and English classes." Angela replied.

"If I did anything that's probably what I'll do. What do you plan on doing?"

"Not sure. I want to study photography but my dad wants me to study something practical."

"Why not study to become a teacher and minor in photography or major in both?" Bella said.

"I haven't thought about it much but I am applying to several schools that have amazing arts programs along with practical programs as my dad calls them."

"You could also go for business so you could run your own photography studio. You could even take photo editing classes or graphic design classes so you can take your creativity further."

"It is a lot to think about I am just glad that I don't have to pick for a long while."

"I guess that's a good thing for me too I have a lot I need to figure out through."

"You will figure it ou… I think we are in trouble." Angela said as they got to Bella's house.

"Awe crap." Bella mumbled.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" Charlie yelled when he spotted his daughter. "Where have you been?" he asked.

Bella didn't say anything as her mind rapidly went through all of the excuses she could give. Just as she was about to open her mouth and give one Angela beat her too it.

"Sorry Chief but I wanted to take some night pictures for my portfolio Bella and I hadn't realized how far from her we had gotten until we hit Main Street."

"Do you know how far that is? Or how worried I was?" Charlie asked.

"Actually no and we thought you were asleep and didn't expect to be gone long."

"We had pepper spray if that helps at all." Bella said from beside Angela.

"Just get back inside and don't leave for the rest of the night." Charlie said pointing to the door.

Bella and Angela walked back into the house looking at their feet.

"I don't want you two leaving this house till after I have woken up in the morning. You never know who's out there willing to hurt you and pepper spray and guns won't always help."

"We know that dad. You just gave me the pepper spray as a precaution." Bella said.

"Bella I don't need attitude." Charlie told her.

"Well I'm tired and I can't sleep at all through the night. I get woken up each time I start to fall asleep." Bella replied. "I just might have a bit of an attitude."

"Bella you have a concussion if you fall asleep you could die."

"Could doesn't mean I will." Bella replied.

"Just please stay in the house Bella." Charlie said retreating up the stairs to his room.

~!*And no she is not related to Edward that would be to weird. Now as for Emmet and Jasper I might have her related to one of them if not both. You opinion will be welcomed.
