Chapter 8:
When she said Edward's name it seemed like the world had stopped and as if I was in a parallel universe. I was awaken of my day dreaming by Miss Spencer who was checking me and calling me.
-Sweetie, are you alright?
- Um, oh yes sorry I should go now.
-Oh, ok, and good luck on that report.
- Yes, thank you
As soon as I got into the car only one thought was in my mind, it was time for me to tell the others about brunette- I mean, Bella because from that last bit of information that the librarian gave me, Edward and Bella were connected in some way and It's up to them to find out.
As soon as I arrived, I entered the house and there I had Alice's face just in front of me.
-God Alice, what are you doing here?
-Oh sorry. Rose but it's just that I had a vision of you wanting to talk to us. So I came and Emmett and Jasper will join us as soon as they finish their game.
- Great, but where are Esme, Carlisle and Edward?
-Well, Esme is gone shopping, Carlisle is at the hospital and Edward is gone to one of his "girl friends" house.
I was just about to ask how much time it will take for the boys to get down when suddenly you could see two flashes of two persons running down the stairs and I'm sure that you guys can guess who that was.
-So Rose baby, what was that important thing that you wanted to tell us?
-Well I think you guys should sit before I start, all right?
As soon as everyone was seated I started to tell Isabella's story, leaving out the last thing the librarian had told me.
-But Rosalie, sister, I don't understand what does that horrible death of that girl have anything to do with Edward?
-Well Jasper, there's another thing that you guys should know.
-And what is it Rosy?
- Well, the first day of school I 'm sure that you guys all saw that I was acting weirdly.
They all nodded and looked at me with a look of curiosity and wonder.
-Well, the reason is that I started to see a girl. At first, I thought that she was an ordinary girl, but then after a few weird things that happened, I figured out that she was not any ordinary girl but a ghost.
A few minutes of silence after what I had revealed, Emmett approached me and said:
-Rose, I'm happy that your gift works but, what does that have to do with the story that you told us and Edward?
-Well, that's easy. That ghost is Bella and since we started school she's been hunting or following, whatever you want to call it, Edward.
-But that doesn't make sense. Why would a human hunt Edward.
-Well, I don't know, but what I do know is that they knew each other because in her sleep she used to scream "Edward or Edward Cullen"
-But that doesn't make any sense. Why would Edward have anything to do with a human?
-I don't know Alice, but I'm sure that it has to do with the secret of what happened to Edward during those two years.
-So it looks like we have a mission.
-Yes Emmett, you're right.
-Rosalie, why don't you show us a photo or something of that sort so that we know how she looks like, just in case we find something in Edward's room?
-Here, wait a minute.
I went and ran towards my room and got my laptop. I sat and I typed in "Fork's student, Isabella" and an image appeared.
-Wow she's beautiful!
Alice was right she was even more beautiful that in her ghostly look. She had long brown Hair with red highlights, white skin and brown eyes with a few flecks of bleu. After a while of looking at the picture:
-Ok then Rosalie, go and print a copy for the 4 for us. Alice try to find if Bella appears in any way in the future, it may be in a book, a photo, someone talking about her , anything. Emmett and I will look in the archives and try to find anything. I will call James to see if he can find a few bits of information that we don't have.
-Alright then, I will go now and make the copies.
-Oh one thing baby, before you go, I have a question.
-What is it Emmett?
-Well I was wondering if you had ever established any kind of contact with Bella.
-No, but I think that she knows that I can see her since a few times she looked at me.
-Oh alright.
And with that the investigation began. It made me feel relieved that my secret was known, but I had a feeling that there was more to this story that we know. I just hoped that it will not be dangerous and that whatever happens in the future, our family will stay strong. That it will not tear us apart no matter what because it seems like Edward has a big and dark secret that could change all of our lives. The question is, whether it will be for the better or the worse.
