A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry it took me so long to update... again. This chapter is a bit short, but I didn't have much more I could put in, as I wanted the next part of the story to be in Bella's point of view first. So here's chapter 4! enjoy :)
Chapter 4: Mystery
Angela's Point of View
All of a sudden, I woke up to a light glaring blindingly through my apartment window. I sighed, thinking maybe I should put some curtains over it. I sat up in bed and realized how refreshed and relaxed I felt in comparison to my shopping trip. I smiled to myself and softly closed my eyes. Behind my eyelids, my imagination spun the image of the window covered by beautiful purple curtains. For several seconds I focused completely on the image, and to my delight, I noticed the light that had been finding its way around my closed eyelids had suddenly got dimmer. My smile immediately widened. My powers were back!
When I opened my eyes, my beliefs were confirmed. There, in front of the window, were purple curtains, just as I imagined them. Not only had I survived my narrow escape at the mall, but I had also slept long enough for my powers to be completely renewed. But how long was that? I had no idea. I had never worn myself out so much to be on the point of death, so I didn't know how long a full recovery would have taken. Panicked, I closed my eyes and imagined an alarm clock which showed the date and time. Once the picture was clear in my head, I focused on it for a few seconds before opening my eyes to find an identical alarm clock on the table in front of me. The date read September 4th. What day does school start again? September 5th. I only had one day. Thankfully, with my powers back, I wouldn't have very much to do. Before long, I had imagined for myself, a new set of furniture, a fridge full of groceries, a dresser filled with clothes, and a desk piled high with school supplies.
Finally finished, I sat back and admired my work. I had conjured up a lot however, and I was starting to get a little bit tired. Since I had woken up in the middle of the afternoon, it was getting close to nighttime anyways. So, after picking out a first day of school outfit and organizing my binders, I fixed myself a grilled cheese sandwich on my new stove, showered, and went to bed.
After about four hours of peaceful sleep, I woke up. My powers had been completely restored again, so I no longer had any need for sleep. It was only one in the morning, so I grabbed a book from my bag that I had brought back to this world with me, leaned against my pillow, and tried to read. But after a few minutes, I realized that I must have read the same paragraph twenty times. Although I was reading the words on the pages, I hadn't actually absorbed anything. There was something at the back of my mind, nagging me. I just couldn't focus. So I gave up, placing the book on the floor, and closing my eyes to let my mind wander.
It wasn't long before I realized what had been preventing me from focusing. I still hadn't figured out the Cullen Look-Alike Mystery. If it really had been the Cullens, then either Dr. Cullen had discovered some anti-aging medicine, or they must have some kind of supernatural background. But through all my adventures, I had never come across any type of creature with their characteristics. It seemed strange that in high school I had noticed that there was something off about them, but if I had never become a part of the supernatural world myself, I never would have thought anything of it.
Now, I was left wondering exactly what they could be. Part of me hoped to run into them again so that I could find out if they really were the Cullens, and then what the Cullens really are. Because there was no way that they are human. But then there was another part of me which greatly feared seeing them again. I knew they would recognize me. At the very least, Bella would. I wasn't sure if I could risk everything I'd worked towards in the past three years just for the sake of curiosity. So I decided to leave it up to fate.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Please review :) Hopefully I'll update soon!
