Author's Note: Elizabeth's eye color is associated with her power. She too can change her appearance with the exception of her eye color kind of like an imcomplete shapeshift. But she can't do it for long, probably just a couple of hours at most. I haven't decided just exactly what she is or why she looks like Bella so don't ask. This chap was done quite a while ago but I couldn't load it into the Document Manager so sorry for the delay.

Hide and Seek
They looked at us with total confusion as if we were alien beings. Edward already broke down into a laughing attack and Henry was struggling to keep a straight face too. Emmett got up and walked over to us examining us closely and even sniffing to find out what was going on. Elizabeth suddenly morphed into a second Emmett causing him to jump and me to shriek. She looked exactly like Emmett but her eyes were still the leafy green it was before. She laughed at the reactions she received and turned back to normal.
"Hi, I'm Elizabeth, Bella's lost twin," she said holding out her hand to Emmett. He held out his hand hesitantly not knowing if she will change again.
"Lost twin?" He asked looking over at me questioningly.
"She was joking Emmett. She's a 100 years older than me," I explained. He took his hand from hers and resigned to his seat next to Rosalie.
"Everyone please grab a seat," Carlisle sounded gesturing at the empty seats around the room. I went over to grab a seat at the sofa next to Alice and Jasper but Edward stopped me and sat himself down first and placed me on his lap wrapping his arm around me. Henry and Elizabeth sat themselves on the chairs next to the sofa where we sat.
"Elizabeth, you can shapeshift?" Carlisle asked starting us off. She nodded politely.
"Except my eyes stay the same. I can only do it for a couple of hours before I change back," she added. "Can I ask why your eyes are gold instead of the usual red?" she said nervously.
"Because of our diet. We prefer hunting animals to people," he answered with a smile. So Henry never told her. She never noticed because his eyes are always blue now.
"Animal?" Her eyes grew wide with interest and she leaned in towards Carlisle.
"Yes. It doesn't completely stop the thirst but it does keep us strong enough to resist the humans." Carlisle continued to explain our lifestyle to her and she continued to ask questions until the sun started getting low bringing shades of red and orange through the window.
"It's getting late, I'm sure you would like to unpack. Would you like to stay here with us or would you like to go back to Henry's house?" Carlisle wondered. She considered it for a moment.
"Bella, where are you staying?" she asked me suddenly. Edward chuckled and I hit him in the arm lightly.
"I'm staying here since Edward never wants to leave me alone." I replied.
"Okay then, I guess we'll stay here. If that's okay."
"Of course it is!" Alice said getting up from her seat and grabbing Elizabeth. "Come on, I'll show you to your rooms." She bounded up the stairs leaving Henry to gather the bags.
"Edward." I said.
"I know dear," he got up and helped Henry lug the bags up to the room. I turned to Carlisle and realized that he was looking at me too. Esme gave me a motherly smile and joined the others upstairs.
"Carlisle, do you know why we look so much alike?" I asked hoping he would have some clue. Unfortunately, he shook his head.
"No Bella, I don't know why. There are many unexplainable things in this world," he stated. "But it doesn't matter all that much so go and join the party upstairs," he laughed and got up with me and walked upstairs too. Esme met Carlisle at the top step and they went to their room together and Edward swept me into his arms and ran to the bedroom.
"Edward, what is it now?" I shrieked. He laughed evilly and dropped me onto the bed. I finally caught on and slammed the door shut with my mind before he pounced at me. I slipped away at the last second and darted to the other side of the room. "I'm not going down without a fight." He grinned mischieviously.
"I was hoping you'd say that," he growled and came at me. I ducked and raced to the bathroom but he caught my sleeve and pulled me into his chest. He leaned down to kiss me but I turned so he ended up pecking my cheek instead. Then I heard a thud in the next room, Henry's room, and a playful shriek similiar to mine. Edward and I laughed. I felt his arms loosen as he laughed and slipped out running to the door. It flew open when I got there and I ran into the hallway seeing Elizabeth do the same but in my direction. We winked at each other and continued running, me into Henry's room and she into Edward's. I slammed the door shut behind me and turned to face Henry. His face was confused and shocked.
"You came back?" he asked. I repressed a smile while listening to any noise next door.
"Yes I did," I answered stepping away from the door and towards the chair into the corner. I got halfway there before the door swung open revealing Edward and Elizabeth. She had a huge smile on her face clearly planning something but didn't try to run.
"I believe she is yours, and if you don't mind, I will be taking Bella now," he said stepping towards me. I backed up into the wall and he locked his mesmerizing eyes onto me. He bent down and lifted me onto his shoulders and carried me back to our room.
"Enough hide and seek, Bella." He kicked the door closed, placed me onto the bed, and dropped himself on top of me. He swept my hair back to expose my neck and began planting kisses on it. Every kiss still sent electricity throughout my body and I gave him no more resistance. He relaxed and placed his whole weight on me pulling me closer and closer between kisses.
