Chapter 2

From Alice at 6:32 No, I haven't seen her. Are you sure it wasn't Rosalie? That description sounds like Rosalie.

From Bella at 6:33 Don't you think I would notice if it was Rosalie?

From Alice at 6:33 Okay, sorry. I will keep looking. Don't worry too much. Have fun with Edward and Angela.

I sighed. If Alice wasn't stressed out then I shouldn't be either. Angela was still asleep but I was still staring at the picture that the stranger had left. My hair was longer and Edward's was shorter and less messy. His skin was tanner- as if he was human.

Edward's number showed up on my screen. "Edward? You wouldn't believe what happened."

"Yeah, Alice filled me in. Just tell Angela that the picture was of us at a party or something so that she doesn't freak out. I'm on my way to pick you up."

"Was that Edward? Does he know what happened?" Angela asked while brushing her hair.

I put down the phone. "I feel kind of silly now. That picture was from a party Edward and I went to last year." I lied, hoping that Angela would buy it. She nodded and went to the bathroom to change. Right as she closed the door, she slammed it open again.

"Bella!"

"What?" I said nervously, hoping she hadn't questioned the fact that Edward and I had gone to a party; we never go anywhere.

"We need to do your hair and makeup like we did yesterday! Edward would love it!" she shrieked. I rolled my eyes as she pulled out the curling iron.

As I was rolling up the sleeping bags from last night, I heard a knock at the door.

I timidly opened the door, unsure of whether it was Edward or not. But there he was, smiling and looking gorgeous as ever. I grinned at him; I always felt safer when Edward was around. It's pretty hard to get hurt with an indestructible vampire boyfriend at your side.

"You look stunning, Bella. Is Angela ready to go?" he said, clearly shocked by my very un-Bellaish look.

"Here I am!" Angela said. "I was just checking to make sure I unplugged the curling iron." She smirked at me and I showed Edward the wrap on my hand.

Edward shook his head at me. "Of course you managed to hurt yourself," he said and took my uninjured hand and the three of us headed outside to the car.

"So I heard you were pretty freaked out last night, Angela," Edward asked while driving.

"Yeah, it was pretty weird that that girl came in the middle of the night asking to see the two of you."

"I think that it was all a misunderstanding," Edward said smoothly. "I talked to Rosalie and apparently she has a biological cousin we had never heard about. She knew that Rosalie is my sister so she was asking around if people knew me."

"At midnight?" Angela inquired.

"According to Rosalie, she's pretty weird." Edward shrugged. Angela accepted Edward's explanation and relaxed in her seat. I looked over at him to know if what he said was true but the look on his face told me that he only told her to keep her from finding out more than she needed to know.

Once we arrived at the fair, we gave the man at the gate our tickets. But when he counted them, he only accepted mine and Angela's. He looked at Edward and said, "You know that these tickets pay for a whole day. You don't have to use one each time you leave the park." Edward looked at him with a confused look on his face.

"I just got here. I'm not reentering."

"That's weird. I swore I just saw you come in an hour ago. I guess not," he said, staring at Edward trying to remember him. "Well, have a good day!" We thanked him and went through the gates. I glanced at Edward, trying to figure out who the man had seen.

"Bella," he whispered. "I saw what was in his mind. He definitely saw me before. Apparently, I came in here two hours ago."

"What?" I demanded. "How is that possible?" Angela stared at me.

"Are you two okay?" She questioned. Edward smiled at her reassuringly.

"Everything is fine. Do you two want some cotton candy? I'll go find some," he said to us and took off to look for his long lost twin or whoever the other Edward was.

Angela and I wandered around the fair for a while. We bought ourselves some fizzy drinks with the money I had saved up from working at Mike's shop. While Angela got a cherry flavored red drink, I got the blueberry. Turns out, blueberry drinks are absolutely disgusting but Angela liked it so we ended up trading.

I was getting nervous when Edward still hadn't shown up for about ten minutes. When we were at the top of the Ferris wheel, Angela said, "Why is she here?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's Rosalie's cousin."

"What? Angela?"

She didn't answer me and just stared at the ground. I followed her gaze to below the Ferris wheel. Standing there was the same girl who had shown up at our door the night before. But right as I saw her, she was gone again. Angela looked at me and asked with urgency in her voice, "Bella? What is going on?" All I could do was stare at her and though I knew of the existence of vampires and werewolves I knew no more about what was going on than her.

As soon as we got off of the ride and were near a less busy part of the park she was berating me again. "Why won't you tell me anything? I get the feeling that you and Edward know a lot more than you're letting on." I felt guilty that I couldn't tell my best friend what I knew but it was all to protect her.

"I'm sorry Ang but I don't know any more than you do," I said, hoping she would stop asking.

"Oh, sure you don't! That's why you haven't even asked why Edward isn't here when he was only supposed to get cotton candy. You two are inseparable and you haven't even done as much as text him!" she yelled. "Bella-" she turned around to continue ranting me but ended up throwing some of her drink. The majority of it landed on the ground while some of it splashed on my burnt hand. It seemed through the bandage which exacerbated the pain. I peeled off the bandage and saw that my palm turned redder than it had before from the carbonated drink. "Oh, I'm so sorry Bella I didn't mean-" she started. And then everything went wrong.

I felt something pierce my stomach. I looked down to see a wooden stake sticking out of my abdomen and the sight of the blood flowing quickly out of the wound almost made me faint. I heard Angela scream and then, Edward was above me. "Oh thank god you're here!" I said in relief. But then I realized. His eyes were black. I spoke as calmly as I could, "Don't look at the blood. It's going to be-" he cut me off.

"How are you alive?" he snarled. "I killed you!" I stared at him, not having a clue what he was talking about. I was starting to lose consciousness from the lack of blood.

"Why did you stab me? It hurts so much…" I moaned, closing my eyes.

"The other side is gone. There is no way that you should still be here." he hissed, ignoring my pain. He seemed less angry and his expression changed to that of sadness. "If anyone deserved to escape from that hell it would be my brother, not you," he spat. "Katherine."

Any suggestions?
