We ended up on the roof of some building that was nearby. It was silent as I looked everywhere but at him though I felt his eyes on me. "For someone who wanted to talk it seems you have nothing to say."

I heard him sigh and then he was next to me. Looking up at him I couldn't help as my heart felt a twinge of pain. "What is your name?"

"Claudia." I answered back immediately. I couldn't tell him my real name.

He bought it and then smiled. "Claudia, it doesn't ring a bell to me."

I bet. "How do you know my face?" I watched him reach into his pocket and pulled out a folded paper. Unfolding it I couldn't help but gasp. "When my family was in Forks I found this in a stash I hide from my family. I don't remember taking the picture and neither does my family. She looks just like you, except more human. This is you, right?"

I didn't answer, just stared at the photo. Our prom night. "I'll take that as a yes." He whispered. "What does this mean Claudia? Who are you?"

"I'm no one important. Let's just leave it at that." He didn't seem to believe me. "What are you?"

I smiled and opened my mouth to show my fangs. "I'm another breed of vampires, like the Dracula version with the burn in the sun, sleep in coffins, etc. And if you are wondering why you can't read my mind it is because we have mental shields."

"You know I can read minds?" I nodded. "What else do you know about me?"

When I didn't answer he marched over and grabbed mouth of my shoulders, making me look at him. "Claudia please. For three years I have been pondering over this one picture. What does it mean? Who is the girl? What is she to me? Now that I have found you and it is clear you know a lot more then you are saying I am begging for some answers."

"I can't give you any answers Edward." Just saying his name made my stomach do flips. All because of that stupid picture which he just had to hide. Sheesh Edward you always got to get in the way of me wanting to be heroic. Even if you can't remember me you still manage to stop me from doing things.

As I ranted on in my head I hadn't notice the smell of another. "If you want answers, bring your family to Green Park when the sun goes down in three days. There Claudia here will tell you everything you need to know." I turned to growl at Lestat. He just smirked.

"Who are you?" Edward asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"Lestat de Lioncourt at your service. I am simply one of Claudia's babysitters." I growled again. "I'm afraid the sun will be out soon and unless you want us to burn then Claudia and I must go." Damn it was already that early in the morning.

I turned back to Edward. His family was here too? "Green Park? Three days?"

"This isn't a good id-" "Yes Edward, see you then." With that Lestat grabbed me and he dragged me away. I was too shocked to do anything when we got back. The minute I felt him let go I twisted and kicked him in the stomach. "Isabella de Pointe du Lac." Louis snapped as he walked over to us.

"Do you have any idea what you are doing?" Ignoring Louis I looked down at Lestat. He was still laughing. "What are we going to say to them?"

"The Cullens?" Louis guessed. I turned and pointed at the idiot on the ground.

"His stupid ass decided to tell Edward that we were going to meet and explain everything to him and his family."

"Lestat." Now Louis glared at him.

"Calm now Louie, this is not a big problem. I just had to think of something as your precious girl stood there frozen, not even coming up with a lie other than her name. Very interesting choice might I say, Claudia." Louis froze and then went to kick Lestat who got up in time to dodge. Louis then turned to me. "I couldn't tell him my real name. I didn't know what else to do."

Louis sighed and hugged me. "This is a very tricky situation."

"Well now that we are in this mess, might as well start figuring out what to say." I glared at Lestat. "You're the stupid one who got us in this."

He just shrugged and laid on the couch. "We got three days. We'll think of something to tell your pretty yellow eyed friends."

I groaned. Easier said than done.

EDWARD'S POV

Claudia. Claudia. In my room I laid staring at the picture. Something just didn't seem right. The name Claudia just didn't seem to fit the girl in the photo but that is what she said her name is so it had to be true. Right?

"So in three days you will figure everything out?" Carlisle asked leaning against my door. When I came back I explained everything to them. "Do you think it is best?"

I sat up, listening to the doubt in his head. "I don't know but I just want an explanation for this photo and why I can't remember her." Why do I look so, in love?

"If that is what you wish."

"I think it'll be a good thing." Alice chimed in as she bounced around Carlisle to sit next to me. Jasper and Esme joined us. "We finally can solve this mystery. No matter how good or bad the information you still need to know."

For Edward's sake I hope it's good, I heard Esme think as she looked at me with concern.

Before we said anything Alice froze and I looked into her mind but what I saw was strange. A man with long black hair, red eyes, and fangs, was screaming as his skin began turning to ash as he soon crumbled away. Then it moved to Claudia who was laying on the ground with blood all over her shirt. Her eyes held relief and disbelief as she stared up at the ceiling. She was whispering something but I could not pick up of what she said when the sun hit her arm first. The vision went black as all that was left was Claudia's burning arm.

When Alice came back she was gasping. "What was it?" Jasper asked as he pulled her into his arms, sensing her fear.

"A man, one of Claudia's kind, was burning from the sun and then Claudia's arm began to burn but before I could see if she made it everything went black." She turned to me. "Do you know that man?"

I shook my head. "If what I saw is true, Claudia's in danger."

A sudden urge of protectiveness went through me and I knew it was not from Jasper. Whatever that vision was, and whatever Claudia is hiding, I wanted to know, because I wanted to protect her.
