Author's Note: Yay! My horrible case of Writer's Block Syndrome has disappeared! Luckily it got better two days after I got it and my entire writer ideas crashed into my brain at once! Making me able to right four more pages then I intended too! Ok, this chapter is filled with unnecessary junk, but still my favorite out of the three. Hope you like it! Oh, and also, I changed and added some stuff to the second chapter. So to get an idea of what's going on, on some of the things of this chapter, I would insist rereading the second chapter again.

Disclaimer: Sadly, Ms. Meyer didn't accept the bargain that my Army of Evil Shoe-eating Bunnies offered her. So I still do not own Twilight, but I did get a few nice pairs of her shoes…

Chapter 3

'The Mystery Girl'

(Edward's POV)

The day I left Forks was one of the worst days of my non-life. What made it even worse was I wasn't able to visit my angel. My Bella. I wasn't allowed to tell her goodbye in person, but was only allowed to leave a letter, a rose, and one last thing to show my love for her (nu uh, I'm not telling. You'll find out soon enough). In the letter I had promised to come back for her in six months, when it was safe, and I counted the days, miserable, until the day that exactly one half of a year had passed. Only to have my ice dead heart shatter into millions of pieces when Charlie told me that a bear killed her in the forest just outside of their house the day after I left and was found two weeks later.

For forty-seven years all I ever did was break things and wish I had changed her when she had asked me to so many times before. Alice hadn't seen anything in Bella's future about a bear attack, but I was too angry with myself to pay any attention to that. I was always locked up in my room, yelling at anyone who disturbed me. After forty-seven years of doing that day after day I decided I should at least try to act untroubled for my family. And for Bella. She would've wanted me to go on with my life, but I couldn't.

Fifty years to the day that I had left Bella. Days like these were the worst because on that day I could've bitten her and not leave, but I was so set on leaving her human that I thought leaving her would be safer for two reasons. One of the reasons was so she would be safe from me. The monster. The second I didn't even want to think about (yeah I know I'm mean for doing that, but you'll find out later. So don't sue me).

We had moved to Rosewood, Washington after forty-seven years of moving in and out of the country. Rosewood wasn't that bad, we had already spent three years there and it wasn't very much like Forks. The surroundings were sort of the same, but it was bigger and more populated, though it still slides into the small town category. It had been sunny all day, and surprised us all by snowing later that evening, even Alice was somewhat surprised by this because she hadn't been paying attention to all of her visions but one of them. She saw five vampires just move to Rosewood a day ago. They must have been vegetarians then, because they had moved into one of the houses. Alice said that four were teenagers and one a preteen. Perfect. That meant the four teenagers would be going to Rosewood High School with the five of us and the preteen would most likely go to school with Jacqueline and we would be able to see if they were too unpracticed to slip and kill someone.

Jacqueline was the newest addition to our family. A new sister. It killed me to think that Bella could've been the new addition to our family a few years ago.

The night finally ended and we all started getting ready for school. I went up to my room, pulled on a tan sweater and jeans, and walked downstairs to wait for the rest of my family.

"Better get a jacket. Alice said it's going to snow again right before lunch." Jasper called to me as he and Emmett walked down the stairs. I quickly ran back up the stairs and back down before ten seconds went by. My leather jacket didn't really have Bella's scent still on it, but when you really concentrated on the jacket's smell, her scent still lingered there.

When Rosalie, Jacqueline, and Alice finally came downstairs, we all went out to my new silver Porsche that I had just bought a few weeks ago. We got to the school in five minutes and each of us got out of the car at once and walked off to class. Government was an hour of my day wasted; all we did was review on something we had been discussing for at least a month already. Finally after the teacher stopped lecturing us on something in my fifth hour Biology class, the lunch bell rang. I hadn't been paying an attention on my teacher because I was very curious about the new vampires that were coming to the school today. I was able to catch images of three of the four vampires, on girl and two boys, but I couldn't find a single image of the fourth. I had spotted the other three new students in a matter of minutes in my first hour class, but I had looked for the fourth during my P.E., French, English, and now Biology class for the last member of the family, but they were nowhere in sight. The strange thing was, though, in one of the classes each period, every student in the class had their eyes on the teacher. Not one person had their eyes wandering around the classroom. Most of them were still thinking about the new students, though mostly about the pretty brunette girl in the class. The Mystery Girl. That's what she was to me. Not one person looked at her once for the whole hour of class. No one spoke to her either. When the bell would ring they wouldn't talk to her, they wouldn't even throw glances at her. On our first day here nobody would leave us alone! They kept introducing themselves over and over; stare at us as long as they could without thinking it didn't catch our attention, and offering us to sit with their group during lunch.

Finally when the lunch bell rang I was one of the first out the door to the cafeteria. The rest of my family and myself would tell each other as much as we could about the others that were in our classes. Maybe the brunette one that I wasn't able to see in my mind was in one of Alice's classes. I walked into the lunchroom and got a useless tray of food. Useless for me anyways. I set my tray down and sat down at the usual table my family sits at. My family was already sitting down and discussing three of them.

"You should have seen one of the boys, Henry I think his name was. He was in my Math class. He was so quiet it was almost like he was invisible." Rosalie said.

"One of the girls named Christiana was in my Government, she kept glaring at me. I think she was worried that I was going to pounce on a student in the middle of class." Said Emmett with a dark chuckle.

I didn't hear the rest because I turned to Alice who was happily listening to Jasper and asked, "Alice was the fourth brunette girl in any of your classes?"

"No. She stated and thought. Wasn't she in any of yours? Have you seen her yet? I was wondering what she looked like. I didn't see any visions of her at all.

I shook my head no and quickly tried to read the girl's thoughts. She had to be somewhere outside the cafeteria, because she wasn't inside yet. I heard Christiana's thoughts outside the cafeteria instead.

I wonder what Simon and Henry went to get anyway…Holy crap! I'm going to kill Simon for throwing those snowballs at me!

I quickly tried to read the thoughts of the girl next to her, but got nothing. Not even a whisper. I was instantly reminded of Bella. She couldn't be alive, could she? No it was impossible. I saw her body after the bear attack. That, I didn't want to think about at the moment, it hurt too much. Seeing her bruised body covered with cuts and dried blood…

I couldn't take it anymore.

I got up and dumped into the trashcan and walked out of the lunchroom. "I'll talk to you guys later." I quickly muttered to the rest of my family before I walked out of the cafeteria, ignoring their confused looks. I saw the other coven having a snowball fight close to the cafeteria. The brunette had her back to me and was throwing a snowball at the black haired boy Rosalie called Henry. I was still determined to know who she was, but right now I just wanted to lock myself in my car and think about my Bella.

I was half-way to the parking lot when a snowball hit me in the back of my head. I heard a faint "Sorry" come from behind me from one of the girls, but I didn't care. They just hit me in the head with a snowball, for God's sake! I turned around to glare at the girl who threw it, but when I saw the brunette girl's face I froze and felt my eyes widen. It was Bella. My Bella. She wasn't dead, she was here. After all these years I though she was dead, when she really wasn't. All of the hate from the snowball vanished in an instant.

"Bella…" I whispered as I continued to look into her now topaz eyes. She looked almost the exact same as the night I left, though she was even more remarkable looking then she was then. I quickly ran up to her in vampire speed and raised her chin with my hand.

"And…you are?" She asked quietly with a sheepish smile on her face, while she took a step back.

"Bella, it's me." I said. She couldn't have forgotten me. Then why is there such a confused look on her face? A voice inside me asked.

"And who the hell would that be!" She asked in an irritated voice. If she had said anything in that tone besides what she just said (I know, confusing), I would have smiled. The black haired boy was beside Bella in an instant, and he put his arm around her waist. This made me want to in him to shreds.

"Who's this Bella?" He asked, gripping his arm tighter around her waist, sending shards of hatred through my body.

"I-I don't know." She said, and she turned back to me with a small smile. "I'm sorry; I didn't get your name. And how did you know mine?"

She had to still remember me. How could she not? We were in love. Suddenly the brunette boy was also by her side Bella followed by the black haired girl Emmett said was name Christiana.

"Excuse me. Are you an acquaintance of our sister, who she has failed to tell us about?" Asked Christiana, glancing over at Bella who just shrugged, the confused expression still planted on her face.

"As a matter of fact, yes." I said looking straight at Christiana, then flashing my eyes to Bella and back to Christiana. "We knew each other very, very well when she was human." Suddenly Henry's eyes widened, but I wasn't really paying attention to him because Christiana's face became very sad and she muttered a small "Oh." The brunette boy put his hand on her shoulder, his face very sad also.

"I'm afraid we have some bad news for you…" He stopped mid-sentence and asked, "I'm sorry. What's your name?"

"Edward." I blurted out before thinking. I saw Henry's eyes glare at me for half a second, then grip Bella's waist a little tighter. I wanted to know what this bad news was though, and anxiously waited for him to continue.

"Edward then." He said," Well I'm afraid to say that Bella lost her memory of her human life when she was bitten."

Anger and pain welled up in my chest and it took very much of my self control to not yell into the heavens. Instead I asked through gritted teeth, "Why?"

"We don't know. It might've been the pain of the venom. It might've been a hundred other things." The brunette boy said.

I wanted to hit something very hard right now. How could I not be there? When she couldn't remember anything, I wasn't there to comfort her and tell her everything; instead she had these people who didn't know a thing about her human life. I quickly turned back to Bella.

"Bella you have to remember me." I could hear the pain in my voice.

"No. I don't." She said, looking as though she would've cried if she could've.

"Yes, you do." I whispered, looking away from her beautiful face.

"Look, I can't remember. So just go!" She yelled. This pained me, but I wasn't going to budge. I had spent fifty years killing myself for leaving her and I was going to get her back.

"No." I said forcefully. This seemed to anger her because suddenly I couldn't control my legs. They started walking back into the cafeteria, but before the door closed I could hear Bella quickly saying to her family, "I'll talk to you guys later." Then she walked to the parking lot.

I sat down at an empty table as far from my family as possible in the cafeteria, but I could still hear their thoughts asking me things.

What happened, Edward?

Edward, what's going on?

Edward, what's wrong? Jasper said he felt you get really angry.

I quickly muttered the two words that would make them stop.

"Bella's back."

Author's Note: Yes I know you hate me for doing another cliffhanger. If you're wondering about the whole 'Edward seeing Bella dead, but now she's alive' thing, it will be explained when Bella explains what happened to Edward. Anyway, review! Press the pretty lavender button. Oh it's such a pretty lavender button, and you know you want to press it. 25 Goldfish for all who review!
