Chapter Five

Edward's POV

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" the Doctor inquired on his guard.

"Doctor it's me! Edward! Edward Cullen!?" I exclaimed confused. Surely he couldn't have forgotten me could he?

"Rose? Is he a friend of yours?" he asked, turning towards her.

"No, I've no idea," she responded. "Whoever it is he isn't human. I can tell that much."

"Your right," he smiled cheekily yet excited somehow. "He's not human… He's a vampire."

"Cool! A vampire! That's a new one!" Rose enthused.

"And quite a good looking one at that," she thought to herself. I looked to them incredulous.

"Come on Doctor, can't you remember me? Mind reader? The Weeping Angels? The Reapers? When I created a paradox in Chicago in 1917? Any of that ring a bell?" I asked shaking my head. Something wasn't right here and it was obvious. The Doctor and Rose looked at each other. I interrupted their silent conversation.

"Don't take this the wrong way Doctor but you smell different. Its like your half human or something," I stated becoming even more confused. Its not like people scents just changed all of a sudden. He did smell more human, more delectable. Much to my surprise both the Doctors and Roses faces lit up as if they just realised something or stumbled across the latest revelation.

"Ah of course…," the Doctor pondered.

"But how could that be possible? I mean we're completely cut off from the other world, aren't we?" she stared at the Doctor with a emotion I didn't understand.

"Yeah… Completely sealed off," the Doctor agreed while he was thinking away as he did, distracted as always.

"Excuse me but will someone tell me what's going on and stop talking about me as if I'm not even here," I complained. The Doctor smirked and stepped towards me.

"What did you say your name was?… Edward?" he questioned.

"Yes, Edward Cullen," I replied.

"Wait a second… Cullen!? Any relation to a Carlisle Cullen?," the Doctor asked me surprised.

"Yes he's my father so to speak," I replied suspicious.

"Great that confirms it then!"

"Confirms what Doctor?" I asked still bewildered. It was moments like this where I wish I still could read his mind.

"That I'm not your Doctor."

"Then who are you?" I asked. My temper was beginning to get the better of me. All this was just ridiculous.

"I am the Doctor but I'm not. I know that doest make much sense but… Look it's a long story. Over a decade ago your Doctor got into a pickle with some Daleks-"

"I'm guessing they're aliens too?" I questioned.

"Correct," he replied. "Anyway to cut a long story short: one thing led to another and I'm the result of an instantaneous biological Meta Crisis."

"A what?" I inquired perplexed.

"God Doctor don't confuse him," Rose scolded while she frowned playfully as she elbowed him in his side. "What he's basically saying is that he's in a way a clone of the Doctor you knew."

"Exactly!" he agreed. "Same memories except they're from before I met you, same looks, same way of thinking. I'm like a hybrid. A half human and half time lord."

"Like Nessie…" I pondered with a hint of pain leaking into my voice even though I was trying everything I could to keep it hidden.

"Who?" Rose asked. She almost sounded surprised.

"My daughter. She's half human-half vampire. A hybrid like you, though I don't like calling her that," I confessed.

"Wow really? A daughter?" the Doctor asked abruptly.

"Yes and wife too," I added matter of factly.

"Oh… I'm so sorry," the Doctor sympathised.

"What do you mean by sorry?" I asked with a confused yet concerned borrow furrowing in my brow.

"Yeah Doctor, what do you mean by sorry," Rose repeated my question but the way she asked it, it was like she was offended by what he said. The Doctor sighed.

"Look Edward… Where do you think you are?" he asked me, once again stepping closer to me. That question caught me by surprise. I actually had no idea where I really was.

"I… I don't know. I've travelled in time before so I was thinking I was in sometime in the future but really I haven't got a clue where I am," I answered.

"This is not your world. Its same as yours except for completely different. This is a parallel world, an alternate universe, a-" he explained.

"A parallel world!? How did I end up here?"

"My question exactly," the Doctor responded. "It has been impossible for anyone, let alone me or your Doctor to travel between worlds ever since the end of the Time War. Its like each world has been locked up and someone threw away the key."

"I still don't understand," I murmured. It was a lie. I knew exactly where the Doctor's train of thought was headed. I just didn't want to accept it. In that very moment I understood why he was sorry. The Doctor placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Edward, I really am, but there's nothing I can do," the Doctor or should I say the other Doctor stated. I stared at the both of them incredulous. Rose's jaw dropped and she glared at the doctor. I took a step away from them and the Doctor let his arm drop limply to his side.

"No…" I whispered, shaking my head. "I can't be stuck here… I just can't."

"Surely there's something you can do Doctor, Anything!" Rose begged. "Just look at him, you can't do this."

"This can't be happening. I've got to find a way home. My daughter just found out she's pregnant for Gods sakes. I need to be at home! Doctor of all people I thought you never said no to someone asking for help. In fact I heard you say if yourself that it was the one request that you never say no to"

"Well that wasn't me. That was the Doctor from your world, not me! Trying to get you back to your world could end up ripping holes in the fabric of time and space itself. I don't think its worth the risk even if you are Carlisle's son," he retorted. The Doctor looked to Rose who was glaring at him. He let out a heavy sigh.

"Fine… I'll help you. But there are no guarantees that I'll get you back to your home. What I'm trying to do for you is the definitions of ridiculous and impossible mixed together," he groaned.

"Thank you! You have no idea how much I appreciate it!" I thanked genuinely.

"I'll do it on one condition though," the Doctor said becoming very serious.

"Of course anything," I replied and I was telling the truth. I would do anything to get home to my family, to Bella, to Nessie.

"Remember this is a parallel world. Its like a sweet shop or a Christmas tree on Christmas morning and for as long as you're here under no circumstances must you look up your family our yourself in this world. For all you know there is another Edward Cullen walking around living his own life."

"I won't touch a thing, I promise," I confirmed.

"Hear that Rose? Maybe you could learn a thing or two from him," he smirked at her.

"Oh ha ha, very funny," she sneered sarcastically before turning her attention back to me. "He's just still mad at me for looking up my family when I first came to this world."

"No I'm not!" He defended. "We stopped the Cybermen that day didn't we? And anyway I'm being serious Edward. Like I said this isn't your world, you might not like what you see. Rose was lucky you might not be so fortunate."

"Doctor may I ask you one more question?" I inquired. He nodded.

"What are you doing in Banff? It's a very strange coincidence that the day I land in a parallel world your right here waiting for me."

"Your right… It is strange," he answered, "Rose and I have been detecting anomalies that have been happening randomly all over the world and the latest ones have been happening here. And of course we're here investigating them. Perhaps you're here as a result to one of these anomalies. What's the last thing you remember before you ended up in our world?"

"It was really strange. One minute I was running through the forest and the next I was dizzy and falling over," I divulged.

"You didn't hear or see anything? Anyone?" he queried.

"No," I replied impulsively without thinking. "Wait… there was one thing. But I'm not quite sure if its relevant. I could smell something as it flew over my head. It smelt like a plastic variation of carbide."

Roses eyes widened as she gasped and in a flutter grabbed the Doctors hands and arms. As she did this images of terror, death and destruction flashed through her head.

"Doctor it can't be! Not again! Not after everything we've been through," she yelled panicked.

"Rose your right. It can't be them. Its impossible. They're all dead," the Doctor said caressing her arms, trying to sooth her.

"I promise the both of you I'll get to the bottom of this and find out exactly what's going on."

Bella's POV

My shield began to waver and the stronger the power I was controlling the harder it was to keep contained. The problem was not only was Alec's power strong but he was one of the most powerful vampires I've ever met. No wonder he was one of Aro's star servants.

Luckily I've been able to hold the power long enough so the others had a chance to get away and warn the rest of our family and thank God that the Doctor is here. My heart stopped as I seen the guard members run towards Renesmee. Hell would have to freeze over before they could lay a hand on her and I'll make sure of that. I'm so glad she has Jacob to protect her. But who's here to protect me? Where in Gods name is Edward?! I need him here, I can't do this without him. I hope with all my heart Renesmee was wrong and he's just at home waiting for us to return.

Distracted by all my worries I finally lost control of my shield and it sprung back, releasing the vampires in its hold. It took them a second to realise that their target- my daughter- was nowhere to be seen but the second was long enough for them to realise that I was still there. I tried to use Jane's power on them but I wasn't quick enough. Felix had me pinned to the ground. I kicked and squirmed but it was no use. He was far to strong for me. I wish I still had my newborn strength because then not even Emmett could beat me on a good day.

"Where did she go!" Felix screamed at me as he held me to the ground. I could feel my clothes becoming wet with the snow, thankfully it didn't bother me. Thanks to our lack of temperature the snow doesn't really melt to our touch anyway. I spat venom in his face. He growled at me and his grip became tighter on me but it also began to hurt. It was worth it to keep him away from Renesmee and I would let him do a lot worse to me before I'd hand him my daughter.

"Felix calm down, Aro will kill us if you kill her!" Jane ordered looking like she was about to bite his head off. Alec, Jane, and Demetri all stood around Felix and I. Felix's grip didn't loosen but he did clam down considerably.

"I'm a tracker you idiot!" Demetri exclaimed to Felix as he smacked him across the back of his head. "They're headed towards there house."

"That could be problematic," Alec suggested.

"Exactly. More of them to fight off to get what we want," Jane added.

"If you touch a hair on Renesmee's head and I don't care which one of you it is, I will kill you all so slowly and painfully that you'll be begging me to end your life!" I threatened. They all laughed at me which to me felt like a slap in the face.

"I can see why Aro likes you so much, you've got a mouth on you that's for sure. You know what you want," Demetri smirked devilishly. I growled and once again tried to kick myself free.

"Relax Isabella. We can make this very easy," Alec said stepping towards his sister.

"He's right. Its simple: Renesmee for your for your freedom," Jane stated seriously.

"Never!" I screamed and I tried harder then ever before to get myself free but again it was no use.

"Edward!" I wailed. "Edward!"

Jane laughed maliciously and knelt down to my level. Edward was still no where to be seen. I felt like crying if it were at all possible. Where the hell was he?

"Shame my power still doesn't work on you," she sighed and placed her hand in my cheek. "You know you could actually look quite pretty if you wore a little make up or something."

My temper blew a fuse as I got a hand free and I smacked Jane across the face sending her flying into a tree. Alec growled at me furiously as his protective instincts for his sister kicked in. There was a loud crash as she collided with a now destroyed spruce.

"That's it! Lets get our job over with!" she yelled as she fixed herself and stepped towards us, losing her own temper. "Felix pull her up into an standing position so I can look her in the eye."

Felix pulled me up off the ground. His grip still as tight as ever. No matter what I did there was no way out. Jane was too close for comfort but Felix had my hands held down so there was no chance I could slap her again no matter how much she deserved it. Staring me straight in the eyes she gave me her ultimatum.

"This is your last chance Cullen. You or your daughter. What will it be?"

"Me…" I mumbled defeated. "Take me…"

Authors Note:

First off I want to apologise for not updating in God only knows when. I am sincerely sorry. I know its no excuse but I am just after starting college and everything is just so crazy.

I've 15 hours of lectures a week with essays and countless hours of reading to do too. Just so you know I'm studying Film, Literature and Drama at DBS in Dublin so its really been mad in my life recently. Did I mention I'm also my class rep and the PRO of the Drama society and the class rep of the film society so I've no time to breath anymore.

Secondly I want to apologise for making you wait so long and then give you this awful and short chapter. I intended it to be longer but I wanted to update as quick as I could. I like the ending I'm giving you even though I wanted there to be a big revelation in this chapter but that will be in the next chapter.

(Speaking of revelations if you guess who the villain is I'd rather you not say it in a review just so its still a surprise for everyone else. Though I think I've made the villain pretty obvious at this stage lol So maybe there is no point in me actually saying this. Just pm me to avoid spoiling it.)

Also another reason why this chapter is so bad is that it was really hard to get back into character after so long. Everything I wrote sounded so angry lol and nothing like them at all and definitely nothing like our little Eddie Weddie. (Never let me say that again, please I beg of you)

Thirdly I've so many reviews and PMs to respond to and I'll try and do that ASAP.

Fourthly I'll try and update as soon as I can but there are no guarantees. My life has completely changed now. Don't worry though I'm NOT giving up on FanFiction. Expect the next chapter to "The Secrets Out" soon (Or this time next year. I'm not quite sure lol)
