Chapter7:
On a Saturday morning, everyone was going hunting but me. Since I had already hunted, I decided to sneak into Edward's room. As soon as I entered, I started to look everywhere but no luck. There was nothing. After opening all the windows to make my sent disappear, I went to the garage and got into my red BMW convertible and drove to the public library. When I arrived, I parked and entered the library. I started to search on the internet but without any luck so I decided to ask the librarian.
-Excuse me mam, could you tell me where I could find information about important events that happened from 1666 till 1668?
-Oh my dear, let me have a look. Why would you need them if I may ask?
-For a school research.
-Well it looks like today is your lucky day. Here you go. When you are finished with them please put them back in their place and if you have any question just ask me.
-Thank you, I will Ms Spencer.
As soon as she left I took the box, sat in a table and started to read through them. There was nothing interesting. I was about to give up when an article caught my attention.
"Orphan Isabella, 18 years old was found dead in her bed. The doctors tried to find what the cause of the death was but there was nothing. It could be by the loss of blood, since they found the body almost empty of it"
"The Isabella's case stays open since the police couldn't find anything."
After reading those articles, I went on search of the librarian. The article didn't seem to tell everything. I was just about to give up, when I spotted Miss Spencer.
-Mam, wait please.
-Oh dear one are you all right?
-Yes, but I have to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.
-Oh, of course. Why don't we take a seat?
As soon as we were seated I started to ask.
-Well, I was going through some articles, when I found a few about the death of a girl named Isabella.
-Oh, yes she was a nice girl. And let me guess, you want to know her story.
-Well, yes if you don't mind.
-Of course not sweetie, but it will be a sad story.
-It's okay.
Miss Spencer nodded. Before starting her story, she stood up and went towards a shelf that seemed to hold a few yearbooks. A few minutes later she came back with one of them in her hand. She sat; she opened the yearbook and passed a few pages till she got to the one she wanted.
To my surprise, the girl from the picture was the ghost who was following Edward. I looked at the bottom of the page and I could read:
"Isabella, 18 years old, student at Forks High". That phrase was not surprising since it made no sense why Isabella will want to hunt Edward. All of those thoughts were stopped when Miss Spencer started to tell her story:
-Isabella was a nice girl, since she was small, she'll always help in the orphanage. For example, she would play with the little ones, bath them, she would even cook…..She would go to school and help some students if they needed help. Resuming, she was always helpful. She was an A student and was one of the best cheerleaders that this school had ever seen.
-But if she was that great, why did nobody want to adopt her?
-Oh well that's simple. When Isabella was born, she was the only one to survive the birth.
-What do you mean by that "she was the only one to survive?"
-After giving birth her mom was told that her son didn't survive and when she heard those words it caused her such a huge impact that led her to die of child birth without knowing that she was pregnant with twins and that the girl, Isabella, was alive.
-But I still don't understand what that has to do with her not being adopted?
-When Isabella was told the cause of her mother's death she felt guilty and she thought that she wasn't worthy of love and family. So when someone would be interested on her, she would do something bad or lie, anything that will make the adoption impossible. At the end, people started to get the message that she didn't want to be adopted and stopped being interested on her. Two years later before her death, when she was sixteen, everybody started to see some sort of change in Isabella. She would disappear sometimes; she was more secretive, more cheerful, and happier. Nobody knew the cause of it and a lot of people tried to find out but she wouldn't tell. Everyone thought that it had to do with a boy, but we didn't know with whom since she was never seen with one.
A few months before her death, Isabella had returned to her old self but in a worst way. She didn't talk to anyone, kept to herself more than normal; she was getting paler and had a ghostly like look. She wouldn't drink or eat the amount of food that she used to, and even some people from the orphanage would say that at night you could hear Isabella crying and screaming. On that fateful night, she had stayed in her bed since she was not feeling well. In that stormy night, where everybody was used to her screams or cries nothing was heard. People got scared thinking that something could have happened to her. So one of the instructors went to her room and there he found a horrible site. Bella, that's how she liked to be called, was lying in her bed still, with her hand on her stomach and with her eyes closed.
You could have imagined an angel falling from the sky who was slipping peacefully. But the truth was that she was dead. The doctors tried to find the cause of her death but they couldn't find the cause of her death but they couldn't find what had caused her body to be filled with a small portion of blood. They tried to see if she had any mark on her body but there was nothing. The only thing that they could find was that she was a few months pregnant.
Um, thank you for telling me her story. But I should get going before my parents start to worry about me.
Oh, yes of course. I'm sorry
-Do not worry. Good bye and thank you
Your welcome and come back when you want to.
I was heading towards the door when she said
Oh I forgot one thing. Every night, she would scream the same name and telling him not to leave.
And what was that name?
-Edward or Edward Cullen.
