Chapter 2: Disappearing Act

Angela's Point of View

I sat down on the old couch in my apartment, making a list of things I would need to blend in with the humans. My top priority would be clothes. I hadn't brought any of my old clothes with me when I was inducted, besides the ones I was wearing. I had thought I was prepared when I had packed my clothes for my journey back to this world, but I forgot how different the styles were in that world and this one. So, I was left without proper clothes, and I was also in need of food and toiletries.

I wasn't looking forward to going shopping. It's not that I don't like to shop; it's just that it would be my first time talking to humans since my induction. And I was afraid I'd do or say something completely wrong. What if I gave myself away? What would they do to me? I guess I would have to take that risk. I took a deep breath, grabbed my wallet and a coat, took the stairs to the first floor, and got on a bus. I was going to the mall.

*******************************************************************************************************************

I looked around at all the clothes, unsure of what to buy. Although I liked shopping, I had never been very into fashion. My closest friend in high school, Bella, hadn't been very into shopping, and my boyfriend Ben, or I guess he was my ex-boyfriend now, had never been into fashion either. I missed them both so much. I hadn't seen Bella since her wedding, about a month or two after graduation. I had promised to keep in touch, but that had become harder after my inception into my new world. She could never know what had happened to me, and I couldn't let her wonder.

Speaking of my inception, I hadn't seen Ben since the day before. That was almost three years ago. And I had been in such a bad mood that day; I had been so mean to him. It wasn't fair that that had to be our final goodbye. I wish there was some way that he could stay with me forever, but I had forever, and he only had a hundred years or so. I wasn't going to rob him of the normal life he deserved. But I still missed him dearly. Half of me hoped that he had moved on, the other half desperately wished that he still loved me. But if I really loved him, I should want him to move on and be happy. It's the right thing. At least, I think it is.

"Ma'am, do you need any help?" A sales clerk walked by, and he must have noticed me staring helplessly at the piles of clothes. My heart started beating a hundred miles per hour. What did I say? What would the old me say? What would a normal college student do? I had no idea. So I guessed.

"No, I'm fine, thanks," I responded, praying that it was the right thing to say. I'm so clueless. You'd think that after only three years, it'd be easy to fit right back into this world. Apparently not.

"Okay, just let me know if you need any help," he told me, walking towards another costumer who was waving him down.

I sighed, relieved that I had survived my first confrontation with a human. I decided to leave my daydreaming for later, when I wasn't supposed to be doing something else. I looked around once more at the clothes. I was too drained to try to use my powers to match outfits, and I was really too lazy right now to do it on my own. The journey here had taken all my powers, and I had rested just enough to escape in the case of an emergency. I decided to give up on my pursuit of clothes, considering that this was my ninth failure of the day. Or was it the tenth? I had lost track.

I decided to go get something to eat from the food court. I was starving, and since I only had enough power reserved for emergencies, I couldn't just make the food appear in front of me. I ambled over towards the food court, trying to decide what type of food to get today. I was craving pizza, something I hadn't had since before my inception. I got in line, ordered a slice of plain and a diet Coke, and sat down at a table.

I ate my lunch quickly. I really had been hungry. And I had forgotten how good a slice of pizza could taste. I stood up to go dump my garbage in the trash, as I had seen several other people do. I was really out of practice at this whole human thing, and I had no idea what I was doing. I sat back down to watch everyone else for a few minutes. I wanted to go to high school again, to start fresh. If I wanted to do that, I would have to know how to act. After a few minutes of people watching, I decided to go try to look for more clothes. I got up and started walking across the food court.

A fight between a girl and a boy that must have been her date caught my attention. They were in the middle of the food court, and the girl was yelling at the boy, who obviously was not paying attention.

"Why are you staring at them?" the girl demanded of the boy. She had short blonde hair and was of average height. But apparently, she wasn't keeping the boy's attention. "Can't you pay attention to me? We're supposed to be on a date!"

"Huh? What were you saying Lindsay?" the boy asked, seemingly embarrassed as he refocused his attention on her. The girl was starting to remind me of Lauren Mallory. Lauren had been one of the girls in my old class at Forks that I hadn't really liked. She had been pretty mean to Bella after Edward came back. I would avoid this girl when I went to high school next week. But their fight left me wondering. What had he been so focused on that he wouldn't be paying attention to her? And why was he embarrassed about it?

I attempted to follow where his gaze had been, and found myself looking at a table of drop dead gorgeous high school girls. There were three of them: one with golden blonde hair, one with bronze hair, and one with brown hair. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the blonde one looked very familiar. She looked exactly like… oh my goodness. Was that Rosalie Hale?

I panicked. Rosalie Hale. How was that possible? I didn't know that the Cullens had moved back to Alaska! If they were here, that meant I was going to have to leave. I couldn't have them figuring out that it's me… But wait a minute; she looks exactly the same as when we were still in high school together. She hasn't changed a single bit. That's definitely not possible. It can't be Rosalie then.

I was relieved. I examined the girl next to her, the one with the bronze hair, and I was even more relieved to find that I didn't recognize her. She looked a bit like Bella, but that could just be a coincidence. But that bronze hair was something else. I had only seen hair like that once before… on Edward. Edward Cullen. This girl could seriously be the daughter of Bella and Edward. I started freaking out again. How was that possible? They couldn't have a daughter who looked seventeen, not if they were only in their twenties, even if they did get married at eighteen. It wasn't possible, but I was starting to get seriously concerned. I looked at the third girl, only to find she was looking right at me. Great, I'm caught. But she looks like she recognizes me. That can't be possible either! I've clearly never met her in my life time, because I certainly don't recognize her.

I looked around the food court, to check if there were any more of them. I looked towards the entrance and a girl caught my eye. She was very petite, with black, pixie-like hair. Alice. Alice Cullen. And she was headed right for the table with Rosalie and the two unknown girls.

I looked back at the brown haired girl, and saw that she was still staring at me. And then it hit me. She looked like Bella. A transformed Bella, but it was definitely still Bella. I could tell. And then the girl that was next to her… but this didn't make any sense! They should all be in their twenties by now, not still looking seventeen. I gasped in shock, and the brown haired girl, or Bella I guess, noticed. I couldn't do this. I couldn't let them recognize me, event though it couldn't be them. I was so confused! I had to get out of there. I glanced around to make sure no one else was watching me. I knew that the Bella girl still was, but she had weirded me out enough that I didn't care what she thought. When I was positive that no one else was watching, I got ready to use my powers. I sighed and teleported, praying that it didn't kill me.

A/N

Once again, I'm so sorry it took me so long to update this. Here are my reasons:

1. I've been extremely busy with school work

2. I've been having problems with my computer

3. I couldn't decide whether or not to include this chapter. I wasn't sure whether to stick with all Bella's POV or switch between her and Angela. As you can tell, I decided to include Angela's POV.

Alright, so I'm really sorry, and if you can all forgive me, I'd really appreciate a few reviews. The chapters should be coming much faster now since I'm finally done with school on friday! YAY!

Oh and this chapter may seem a bit confusing, but I didn't want to give all of the details away this early! What fun would that be? But I promise that you'll be able to understand soon enough.

Happy Summer!
