The grass was soft under my skin as I laid down. Bright flowers circled the meadow and I could hear the bubbling of a creek nearby.

"You can come out any moment now." I said to the shadow in the trees.

"I don't want to scare you." He said nervously.

I chuckled as I set my arms under my head as a pillow. "It takes a lot to scare me, Edward."

He appeared right next to me and I gasped as I saw his skin react to the sun in a sparkle. I laughed.

"You thought sparkling would scare me?"

He shrugged and I gently stroked his arm, "It's different, obviously. It proves that we're not human."

"That is not such a bad thing." I soothed.

He let out a humorless laugh. "Bella, be serious. I am not human, nor will I ever be. Everything about me draws a person in. My appearance, my speech, even my smell." He pulled away from me to punch a tree, making it break in half and land atop another tree. "I have to be gentle with everything I do."

"Well, there is no need to be a show off." I chided. I felt the need to fix the tree, but not in front of Edward.

He laughed and shook his head as he walked back towards me. "I'm sorry, Bella."

"It is alright." I said. "I understand that you are still angry. Your afterlife was stolen from you, Edward. You have every right to hold a grudge."

He smiled and brought my hand in his. "I don't deserve you."

"I know."

With the utmost gentleness he shoved me playfully in the shoulder. I laughed and pushed him back.

"Would you like to go back to my house? Alice has a...surprise for you." Edward said.

I nodded. "I would love to."

"Come on." Edward said as he hunched over slightly to let me jump on. I hugged his waist with my legs and slung my arms over his shoulders. "Hold on tight."

We reached the car in a matter of seconds and we were driving down the road at a cringe-worthy speed.

I rolled my eyes. "You are very lucky that you have those eyes."

He raised his eyebrows and looked over at me. "What do you mean?"

"I bet you have hypnotized cops out of speeding tickets dozens of times." I explained with a smile.

He snorted. "Me? No. Alice on the other hand..."

I laughed. "I believe you there."

He pulled into the long driveway and Mary met us at the door excitedly, but also with a stern glare.

"You ditched school."

I nodded in confirmation. "Why, yes, Alice, I did."

"And you didn't even say goodbye!" She growled. "I know Rosalie can be a bitch–"

"Alice, language." Esme scolded.

"–but that does not give you the excuse of just ditching! I have so much to tell you." She gripped me by the shoulders as she pulled me through the door. "There's going to be a storm."

I gave Mary a puzzled look, "I do not understand..."

Emmett spoke up from the couch, "It means we can play baseball."

"In the rain?" I question. "But then you'll get soaked!"

Mary laughed, her voice sounding like wind chimes. "No, silly Bella." I glared at her. "A drop of rain won't touch these uniforms. Vampire life can be so boring, so when it's a storm, we set up our version of baseball. Well...it's pretty much the same just the plates are set out wider."

"But why does it need to rain?" I asked.

"The storm makes it sound like thunder when our bats hitting the balls." Emmett explained. He grinned at Edward, "I'm so kicking your ass this time!"

"You wish."

"So," I started to ask, "What am I supposed to do?"

Mary's face fell. "O-Oh. Shoot!"

Esme appeared next to me, a smile lighting her eyes. "Would you like to referee with me? I hate baseball, and the boys like to cheat." She sent Emmett and Edward a glare.

"We do not!" Edward protested.

Emmett snickered. "We so do."

"I would love to, Esme. Thank you."

"It's no problem, Bella." Esme said.

"Stop chatting, and get dressed!" Mary ordered happily. "Oh, and Bella."

"Yes?"

She ran upstairs and was back down in a second, holding a shirt with my name on it. "Here. Try it on."

It had the number seventeen on the back, Team Cullen. I laughed and slipped on the jersey, doing the buttons at the collar.

"Perfect!" Alice smiled and pulled something from behind her back. A baseball cap. She bounced towards me, putting my hair in a pony tail and slipped the my hair through the hole in the back. She adjusted the cap and grinned wider. "Adorable. Now, if you excuse me, I have to get dressed."

"I'll be right back." Edward said. "I don't dare not get dressed, Alice would kill me."

I chuckled. "Alright."

The room was empty and I silently walked over to the piano. I played the song that Mary wrote years ago, my fingers too fast for human eyes to see.

"Bella," Mary said as she sat next to me, dressed in her new uniform. "Are you alright?"

I nodded with a weak smile. I had to tell her. I just wanted my sister back.

"I don't believe you." She informed me. "I can't say that everything will be okay, because I don't know what's wrong, but whatever it is, I'm here for you." She gave me a gentle hug. "Now, stop being sad. We're playing baseball!"

I laughed. "Indeed. Lets go."

"That's the spirit!" She said as she pulled me up from the bench. "The clearing isn't that far from here, you can ride on Edward's back. I had Emmett leave a couple minutes ago in his jeep to take the equipment down."

"I didn't hear him leave..." I said.

"Well you were a little preoccupied with playing sad music." she retorted. She bounded forward and pushed my frown up, to make me smile. "Cheer up. Being sad in the presence of Alice is impossible."

"That's for damn sure." I muttered with amusement.

Edward appeared next to me. He crouched down and I hopped on his back. The wind whipped at our hair and suddenly stopped because, before I knew it, I slid off Edward's back. The clearing was huge, the plates set miles apart.

"Wow."

Edward smiled. "I know." He looked into my eyes and slowly leaned down to kiss me gingerly on the lips.

Emmett cheered, causing us to pull apart. "Whoa, keep it in your pants, Edward!"

Edward rolled his eyes and I laughed.

"Go." I pushed him towards the field. "No cheating!"

"No promises." He called back as he stood at home. Alice threw the ball fast, but Edward was ready for it. The ball landed in the forest and Emmett went to go fetch it.

Esme walked up to me, smiling.

"Why do not you like playing?" I asked.

"I feel as if I am in their way." She explained. "They like to play rough, anyway." She motioned towards Carlisle and Emmett both going for the ball, but ending up smacking into one another. "I'd be an odd number."

"You should play." I encouraged. "If not now, what about next time? For me."

She thought for a moment, looking at me. "For you." She relented.

"Yo, Bella!" Emmett called. "Toss Alice another ball for me?"

I nodded and walked towards the sack of baseballs and pulled one out of the bag. I threw it towards Mary and she thanked me. They didn't give me a look for being able to throw it that far. Except, Rosalie. Her eyes showed suspicion.

Mary suddenly froze, and the rest of the Cullens did too, but not for the same reason. There was a rustling in the trees.

"Is it the vampires?" Emmett asked as soon as Alice snapped out of the vision.

"What vampires?" I demanded.

Mary ran towards me and so did Edward. They stood protectively in front of me as soon as three vampires came out of the clearing. One, with olive toned skin and thick long hair pulled into a low ponytail. The other two made my breath stop. The darker skinned man switched positions with the blonde, leading the trio.

We all stood together, all of the Cullens stood in a barely noticeable protective stance.

Victoria held the baseball in her hands, smiling. "Lose something?" She threw it towards us and Mary caught it in her gloved hand.

James' eyes landed on Mary. He seemed angry. Probably because she was the one that got away.

"Thank you." Carlisle answered for all of us. "We're the Cullens. This is my mate, Esme. And my children, Emmett, Isabella, Jasper, Rosalie, Alice, and Edward." He smiled in welcome. "I am Carlisle."

The thick haired man smiled back. "Hello, I am Laurent and this is Victoria and her mate James. We were passing through and became curious when we saw the baseball fly through the woods. I hope we are not interrupting something too important."

"No, you weren't. Welcome."

Suddenly the wind blew through my hair and I heard a few of the Cullens curse. They stood even more protectively.

James crouched low. "A human?" He grinned. "Or maybe not."

Everyone's looks turned puzzled.

"Stop." I commanded. They all stepped away from me, unwillingly.

"Bella, are you crazy?" Edward asked, confused at why I told them to stop and furious he couldn't move.

James laughed and Victoria chuckled darkly with him. James flashed in front of me. I glared at my new family, sending them a silent message. Although reluctant, they stood away, not as if they had a choice.

He caressed my neck and I flinched. "Isabella." He murmured. "It has been a long time." He traveled his hand across my flesh. "To long."

I glared. "Leave. You took too much from me already."

He chuckled. "Oh, Isabella. I did not take anything." He motioned towards Mary, who looked even more confused. "As you can see, Mary-Alice is still here."

"And she would be alive today, if it were not for you!" I hissed.

"You don't smell as...delectable as your sister," He said. "But I'll be damned if I let you live. The hunt has been a long one, and I plan to continue it."

"What are you talking about?" Rosalie demanded, angry that her feet were temporarily glued to the ground.

"Ask Isabella." He smiled. "You've been keeping it a secret, haven't you?" I didn't say anything and he laughed. "I guess you've got yourself in some trouble. This will be fun." And before I knew it, they were gone.

"What was he talking about?" Rosalie growled.

I looked down at the ground. "You can move."

Edward ran towards me. "Bella, how did he know you?"

"I didn't want you to find out this way." I said.

"Find out what, Bella?" Alice question.

Carlisle whistled loudly. "Stop! All of you." He looked towards me. "Isabella." He said uncertainly.

"Bella." I corrected.

"Bella." He said. "Would you like to come back to the house so you can answer these questions?"

"Don't give her an option!" Rosalie shrieked.

"There is no option." I clarified for him. "He was just being polite. Lets go."

Edward took my hand in his. "Do you need a ride?"

I shook my head. "I will be fine." I pulled him with me. I could run faster than Edward, but chose to keep pace with him. He kept my balance, me not paying attention to the tree roots.

We all sat in the living room, a tense untrusting silence filled the room.

"Well?" Rosalie asked testily. "What are you?"

"I am...Isabella Marie Brandon." I began. "After much thought, I found out I was born on April twenty-fifth." I sighed. "Fifteen-forty-three."

Everyone gasped.

"That's not possible!" Rosalie said.

I scowled. "And being a vampire is."

"Holy crap, dude! You're older than Carlisle!" Emmett exclaimed.

I laughed. "Yes."

"What are you?" Edward asked. "You aren't a vampire."

"I am...Immortal." I said.

"As in indestructible, live forever, Immortal?" Esme asked.

I shook my head. "No. Well, almost. I'm not indestructible, but I do live forever." I rubbed my eyes wearily. "I was born to Katherine and Jonathan Brandon. They were mortal. I had a grandmother, Mary-Alice. That was who my younger sister was named after."

"Didn't you say your younger sister died in a fire?" Edward asked.

"Yes, but it's not true. My parents and grandmother died in a fire. Mary-Alice and I, made it." I gave a humorless laugh. "Actually, we started to the fire."

"How?" Esme asked.

"Grandmother used to tell me stories when I was younger, about Immortals. Her mother was Immortal, but I think she was killed by a vampire. Immortals are witches."

"Witches?" Carlisle questioned.

I nodded. "Our purpose on Earth is to protect mankind. Not from magic, but from rapists and thugs, murders. My sister and I, we did that, for a while. But then we finally understood that it was risky. We could get caught."

"Bella, do you have an accent?" Emmett suddenly asked.

I laughed and nodded. "Yes, I am English."

"Why did you lie to me the other night?" Edward asked.

"Well, I was scared." I gave up on hiding my accent.

"Go on with your story, Bella. We'll try not to interrupt you." Carlisle said.

"Thank you."

I took a deep breath.

"Immortal. I am a witch. I have many powers. Too many. Most of them I got gradually over time. My sister had the same gifts. Although we both had two that set us apart. I have a physical and mental shield, and I can control minds. Mary-Alice, she could heal people. She also had visions of the future and past." I chuckled. "Although, the past one was quite useless."

"We both got the gift of pyrokinesis, which is the ability to control fire. Fire did not harm us, and we were a bit of a pyromaniac. We also had control over nature. Another ability that we got from the start. We had telekinesis, mind reading, we were sirens too. The reason we could run so fast, hear so well, and had very powerful strength was to protect mortals. Would you like me to list all of my powers?" I asked. "There is a lot."

"Hell yeah!" Emmett shouted.

"Okay. Pyrokinesis, geokinesis (plants) , telekinesis, mind reading, sirens, night vision, cryokinesis (ice), electrokinesis (electricity), hydrokinesis (water), and we could see people's auras to detect if people have a good or bad soul."

"You said your sister's name was Mary-Alice." Rosalie spoke up. "And you also said she had the power to see the future."

"Yeah, who exactly is your sister?" Mary asked.

I sighed and looked towards Mary.

"You."

I probably shouldn't have posted it so soon, make you guys wait, but I was so impatient! Oh, and if you guys loved me, could you possibly read my other Twilight story? It'll be worth it, promise!
