Coincidences
I couldn't believe my own eyes so I blinked several times to see if I was hallucinating. Every time I opened my eyes she was still there so she couldn't be a hallucination right? She was staring at me with absolute utter shock too.
"Edward, you're seeing what I'm seeing too right?" I asked. He nodded slightly but kept his eyes on her probably trying to convince himself he wasn't seeing things too. I have been staring at her for at least five minutes now and the only difference between us would be our eye color. Mine was gold like Edward's due to our hunting choices but here's were green.
"Um, Bella you don't have a lost twin we don't know about, do you?" Edward asked suspiciously. I glared at him.
"Don't you think I would've mentioned it if I did?" I shot back.
"Um, maybe I should explain," Henry cut in. I looked around and realized some people were starting to stare longer than they should. I shook my head at him.
"Let's get to the car, we can talk there," I suggested nudging Edward at his side. He stepped forward and took Elizabeth's bags from her and I led the way out of the airport. We walked out to the car and I popped the trunk with the controller so Edward and Henry could haul the bags into it. I had a lot of questions to ask so I threw the keys to Edward watching him catch it happily and jump into the car. I got in the passenger seat and Elizabeth and Henry slipped into the back.
"Bella, how old are you?" Elizabeth asked from the back seat. I was about to ask the same question but she got to it first.
"I'm 28," I replied. Her voice was the same as mine too, so much for everyone is different.
"Well then, we're not lost twins. I was born 100 years before you were," she declared.
"When is your birthday Elizabeth?" The question just popped into my head. I wanted to see how many coincidences me and her had together.
"September 13th." Edward stiffened at the wheel and I did in my seat.
"Me too," I managed to let out.
"I guess that it's time for my explanation?" Henry added softly. We all nodded in agreement. "We met on the pier that I was inspecting. She thought I was her boyfriend because of my blond hair and figure so she kicked me into the water through a fit of rage." He chuckled quietly grabbing her hand and placing it on his lap. "That's what I meant when I said she knocked me off my feet." She giggled at his words. "At first I thought she was you too and couldn't shake the feeling that you were playing a prank on me, but Elizabeth proved to be nothing like you in personality. Instead of apologizing to me, she yelled at me for standing in the way of her foot!" He laughed and she elbowed him in the ribs. "After a while of arguing, she caught sight of her cheating boyfriend and I helped her catch him. We became friends and after a while, much more." His story made me feel warm all over and I smiled at the feeling. Edward took one of his hands off the wheel and took mine telling me he felt the same way too.
"So, you don't know how they could look like exact replicas of each other?" Edward asked curiously.
"No. In fact, I just told Elizabeth about that on the plane but she wouldn't believe me so I let her see for herself." Henry answered.
"I wouldn't have either. What are the odds?" I added. We stayed silent for a moment before I realized that I had forgotten to ask Henry something. "Henry?" He took his eyes off Elizabeth and placed it on me.
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to give me away at my wedding?" I said quickly getting it over with. He smiled his giant puppy dog smile easing my worries.
"Of course. Anything for my sister." He answered teasing. I turned to Elizabeth next.
"Elizabeth, will you be one of my bridesmaids?" She nodded slowly locking her eyes with mine.
"Are you sure? We just met and I don't want to intrude."
"Don't be silly, you will be family soon." I winked at her and her face lit up. "I will make sure of that, isn't that right Henry?" He raised his eyebrow at me but nodded. "We'll go get your dress tomorrow okay?" She nodded.
"We're here," Edward announced stopping the car and opening his door. "The family is going to flip when they see you two!" He said amused like this was a movie he wanted to see. He went over and opened the door for me taking my hand in his and leading me out of the car. Apparently, my movements at vampire speed still wasn't fast enough because he lifted me onto his shoulders and ran to the door.
"I have legs you know," I protested. He placed me on the ground and bent over to rub his nose against mine.
"I know but you are so precious I don't want you to ever touch the ground," he whispered. My mind started to cloud over but I pulled back knowing we have guests. I turned the doorknob and was met by Alice's arms pulling me into the house.
"Come on in, the family can't wait to meet Elizabeth," she said knowingly. I laughed and gestured for the couple to enter while being dragged into the living room by Alice. Edward trailed behind us his eyes excited by the events that was about to unfold. Alice looked at Edward for a moment and he nodded. He turned to Elizabeth and whispered in her ear something I couldn't make out. I reached the family now and I stood at the entryway next to... Alice went over to sit down and the person next to me was now Elizabeth. Her eyes turned gold now and she stood exactly the same way I did her face strained a bit trying to repress inner laughter. I looked at the family and struggled to hold my own laughing attack from happening too.
Author's Note: Review please so I know whether or not this is worth continuing.
