A/N: I am very SORRY! I know I took so long! But this chapter is longer than my other ones so I kinda hope it will make up for the very late update :) Thanks again to my beta SparklingTopazEyes for correcting my many mistakes. It would be a very horrible chapter without her!

Bella POV

I was walking in downtown Forks, which actually means a general store, a mountain gear store, a beauty parlor, barber shop, a little clothes store and a pharmacy. If you drove south for another five minutes you would come along Forks Hospital. It just looked like an oversized clinic.

The first store I walked into was the mountain gear store. I browsed around for a while. Seeing so many things I could injure myself with, I knew it wasn't a wise idea to ask for a job here. I started to make my way towards the front of the store when I heard someone call out my name.

"Isabella…Bella Swan is that you?" Said a man's voice. I turned around and found myself face to face with the boy that had chased me in the playground when I was a little girl, and had asked me every Valentines Day to be his valentine. Mike Newton.

"Hey Mike." I had known people were going to recognize me, but did I have to be recognized by him? This was going to be a long day.

"Wow Bella, I can't believe you are here in Forks, and in my store!" Mike exclaimed. Yup. His enthusiasm for me hadn't minimized over the years.

"Good to see you too Mike." I said, wishing I had not entered this store. Luck was never on my side, bad luck however was my constant companion.

"So Bella how is it in Arizona? That's where you left after…" Mike suddenly looked uncomfortable. I knew what he was going to say but I took this as a chance to leave.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Mike I have to go but I'll see you around okay? It was nice seeing you again." I was hoping he would let me go without asking me anything else but I already knew that Mike wouldn't let anything go.

"Bella, wait! Where are you staying?"

"Oh I'm staying at the Forks hotel."

"Expect visitors soon, I can't wait to tell Jessica you are back; she'll be thrilled!" Mike's enthusiasm had reappeared once again, and not to be a pessimist, but I didn't think that Jessica would be thrilled to see me.

I still remembered what happened between her and me because of Mike. Mike liked me and Jessica liked Mike. With a situation like that, problems were bound to happen, and with me being me, they did. Jessica and I got in a huge fight over Mike that resulted in some very ugly things being said. I had no idea if she still harbored a grudge, if she and Mike were together, but I did know that he appeared to sill have a school kid like crush on me. Just my luck…

"Okay well I really have to go Mike, Bye"

"Bye Bella" He said as he watched me walk away into the rain and out of sight.

I kept walking down the street until I reached the general store. I was getting hungry so decided to buy myself a snack and maybe a few groceries, if I didn't I would starve soon and would end up in the hospital. That was one of the things I wanted to change, hospital visits. In Phoenix, I was a regular. I knew all the doctors and nurses on a first-name basis. As I was walking back to the hotel, I once again felt like I was being watched. It was making me feel uncomfortable. Moments later, I set the groceries bags down and looked around. I felt that breeze once again today, and as soon as it came it was gone.

Edward POV:

I was at my meadow.

Time in Forks was running out fast, but I for once didn't want to go. Just yesterday I was impartial about the decision to leave or not. It wasn't that I didn't like Forks, but I didn't care if we stayed or if we left. We were always moving so it didn't really matter. It was part of the vampire life.

What had happened last night had really shaken me, though. I wasn't used to being so unprepared. I always warned others when danger was near because I could read their thoughts, but the human I had encountered today, that girl, not one thought did I hear from her. This had never happened to me before.

And the way she smelled, I had never smelled something so sweet in my life. Freesia and something else, I'll find out soon enough when I see her again—wait what was I thinking, of course I'm not going to go looking for her and I'm leaving soon so it won't matter. Still that silent mind was something I had never encountered. After taking all of this into consideration, I wouldn't do anything about it.

It was around noon the next day when I went back to the house. Alice was waiting for me usual.

Is everything okay Edward? I'm sorry about what I put you through. Since you are the strongest one in the family to sustain from blood apart from Carlisle, I thought it wouldn't be so difficult for you.

"It's okay, the smell just caught me off guard that's all."

It hasn't bothered you before Edward. Tell me what's wrong?

I stayed quiet and kept string at the ceiling. Nothing was wrong. I had helped her from keeping Jasper from killing the girl, and I didn't kill her either, so everything was fine. My sister lives in the future. She never fully comprehends the present when everything is fine and it's currently not 3 hours in the future when someone seemed upset.

Fine, Edward, be like that but since you are going into town can you buy me a new baseball bat, Emmett broke the last one.

She then twirled around and left my room. I was getting tired of the pixie's games. I went down to the garage and got the keys to my silver Volvo and headed for town; I had nothing else to do, might as well buy Alice the baseball bat she wanted.

I was about to walk in the Newton's store when that sweet smell engulfed me completely. The monster in me started to follow the smell but a breeze took the smell away and I looked into the store, and the girl from last night was there. I held my breath and went to the back of the store, on the roof. I tried hard to pick up her thoughts but the only thoughts I could hear were Mike's. He recognized the girl. She used to live in Forks when she was younger before her father, the chief of police at the time died. Why would she come back to the place that reminded her of her father? Why would she come back to a place so cloudy and depressing, when Arizona was full of sunshine and happiness, or well it seemed that way? Humans most of the time preferred the sun than the clouds and rain. It seemed she wasn't an ordinary girl after all. Her smell, her silent mind and her appearance in a place most humans would avoid instead of feeling welcome were factors that supported the theory that she wasn't like most humans. That fact made me worry for her. A human like that was bound to attract danger.

She was staying at Forks only hotel, close to the hospital. I thought about visiting Carlisle, so I could explain to him the observations I had made about this human. I would follow her home to see she arrived safe, since it was on my way to the hospital.

I drove the Volvo to the hospital and ran back as fast as I could. She was gone from the store, but her scent led me to the general store, which carried disgusting human food. I stayed hidden in the store the whole time, watching her make her careful decisions on what to eat. She was a conscious eater. She strayed from foods that reduced human life.

After thirty minutes she started to make her way to the hotel. I followed at a far distance; it was not difficult for me to see her. A block before getting to the hotel she set her grocery bag on the floor and started looking around. It was as if she knew someone was following her. I quickly ran by her and hid on top of the roof of the hotel. After she stood in the same stop for five minutes with a shocked expression, she walked the rest of the way, got into her room and then I left.

A/N: So what do you think will happen now. Will Edward ever introduce himself. will he keep "stalking" her or will he leave? hmmmm you will have to find out this weekend! :)
