Chap 3- It Couldn't Be
EPOV
We all sat in the living room half the night playing truth or dare. Let's just say we might end up with nightmares for a year. Jasper dared Emmett to run around the block completely naked. Of course Esme and Carlisle objected but a dare is a dare, and Emmett did seem to enjoy. He enjoyed it so much apparently that he announced to the family that when Kayla wasn't around, and also because we had gotten a new swimming pool put in behind the house before we left, that he was going to start 'working out' by doing laps in the pool, completely nude. He said it made him feel 'free'. Esme told him that if she ever caught him, and I quote, 'You will not live to see another day, or in your case you will be ashes stuffed in a coffee can on the mantel.'
The game was pretty calm except for that. But when it came to my dare, Emmett so nice. My dare, I perform at Elite this morning. My dare is I have to act 'interested' in one of the models. I tried looking to Kat in a way to get out of that but she just laughed at me.
As we got into the limo that Alice had rented. She decided we needed to show up, and once again I quote, 'in class.' Thanks to her visions we picked the days that were very cloudy to go on the trip, so our skin wouldn't be 'shiny'. Having Alice in the family was helpful.
The limo ride lasted about 30 minutes because of traffic. Looking out the tinted windows you could see lots of trees, birds, people, and huge buildings. The limo took a road that led back to a very large building. It kind of looked like a fancy mall. Glass doors and windows on what looked to be 3 floors, it had the same shape as the white house only A LOT bigger. As we exited the limo a man, somewhere in his early 20's, wearing jeans and a T-shirt approached us.
"Hello, you must be the Cullen's. It is so nice to finally meet all of you, my name Shane, and I'll be your guide to today." He said shaking each of our hands smiling. Oh and just for the record he sounded gay.
After we were all formally introduced I looked over to Alice and Rose who were all 'giddy', as Jasper had said, and you could see that they were trying very hard not to start jumping up and down. I looked over to Kat who was standing right next to me holding Kayla's hand in her left and mine in her right. Although it wasn't very often that we held hands, today we both just felt a little out of our comfort zone. And I really wasn't looking forward to my dare. Looking over to Carlisle I could tell he could really care less and Esme just smiled.
"Well, here's how today is going to run." He smiled looking to Alice and handing us what looked like back stage passes to a concert. "These are your passes, don't take them off or lose them. These will ensure that we can go anywhere in the building. First I'm going to introduce you to Philippe, he is the owner and manager of Elite as well as a top designer, then we're going to take you through our different galleries of clothes so you can see some of the styles our models wear, then I'm going to take you through our hair and make up rooms as well as some of the model's private rooms, after that we'll go into the photo studio and watch some of our amazing photographers do there thing, then you will get to meet a couple of our model's, and finally we will meet back with Philippe so he can help you accentuate your body tone, eye and hair color for your own photo shoot."
"Are we going to get to take photo's with one of the model's?" Alice asked.
"You may be able to. We'll have to see what happens. So if you ladies and gentlemen are ready lets begin."
As he began to walk away we all followed him. We walked up a large set of stairs to 2 large glass doors and walked through them.
I was surprised. The place was huge and had a lot of people in it. I was right, there were 3 floors. On the inside it kind of looked like an airport. The second and third floors had glass railings and you could hear people talking and running back and forth with racks full of designer clothes and dresses.
We walked up to a counter in the middle of the room were a young blonde haired girl sat she turned to us and smiled. "Good morning Shane, and who are these people?"
Shane just smiled back, "Good morning to you to Kayce. And these are the Cullen's. They are here for the tour."
I doubt that she heard anything he said. She was to busy looking at Emmett.
'Wow is he cute, I wonder who he is.' She thought. She was starting to get some other thoughts about him and I just tuned her out. I was going to have enough nightmares from last night, I don't need any more.
"Have you seen Philippe Kayce?" Shane asked her looking around.
"You were looking for me?" someone said walking up to us. And I could tell by his voice and his thoughts that he was gas.
"Yes I am. These lovely people are the Cullen's, and they are here for their tour. Cullen's this is the fantastic designer and owner of Elite Modeling Company." Shane said emphasizing the word fantastic.
'Wow...he is so gay.' Emmett thought.
I had to laugh at his words. Just then Philippe's cell rang and he answered then her turned around and asked to be excused because he had something he 'needed to look into real quick.'
Shane turned back to us, telling us it would take only a minute and when Philippe returned we would start, then turned back to talk to Kayce.
I began to smell the sent of freesia.
'Bella…'I looked around trying to pin point the sent. Then I saw it.
It was a vase full of different colorful wild flowers. I sighed and turned back to my family, who were just talking.
Just then a girl with brown hair pulled into a low ponytail walked up beside us. She was about 5 feet 6 inches tall , and had, as Alice always said about girls like this one, 'a model's dream body.' She was wearing a pair of jeans and an Areopostale tank top, with a pair of white and blue Sketchers athletics. She looked normal to me. And from what I could see, which was all but her eyes, which were hidden behind her black and red sunglasses.
"Good morning Miss. Rendon." Kayce said coming out from behind the desk and hugging her.
Then Shane turned to her and hugged her. "Good morning cutie."
Emmett's voice appeared in my head again. 'Man...is every guy in this place gay?'
The girl just hugged her back.
Shane and Kayce's beepers went off and they excused themselves. We all just looked back to the desk.
"Hi, what's your name? Do you work here?" Kayla asked happily. Alice had beat it into her mind that model's had the coolest jobs on earth. And she was excited to come here to see the models.
The girl just kneeled down to Kayla's height and said, "Hi. My name is Izzy. And yes I do work here. I'm one of the models." She smiled. "What's your name?"
"My name is Kayla. And this is my family. We are touring the studio today."
Then Alice jumped in. "You really model here? It is so awesome to finally meet one of Elite's models.
"It's nice to see you to Alice." She said.
"You know who I am?"
"I know who all of you are. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Edward, and you." She said pointing all of us out. Then she turned to Kat and Kayla. "But I've never met you 2, well until now."
I was about to open my mouth when we heard some say something to 'Izzy'.
"Iz, I'm going to see Danielle. I'll see you in a…. Dr. Cullen what a surprise. I didn't expect to see anyone from work here." The man said.
He had dark blonde hair that was cut like most men wear their hair, he had gold eyes, about 6' 1", and was wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
Carlisle smiled and walked forward and shook his hand. " Dr. Rendon. It's good to see you. What are you doing here?"
"I was forced to come and spend the next 2 weeks with my daughter and all of her friends. I love my daughter don't get me wrong, but I really didn't want to spend to weeks with a bunch of crazy teenagers."
The brown haired girl smiled, "Yeah he didn't really have a choice. I talked to his boss and told him that I wanted him that we needed some father daughter time. He couldn't resist."
"Well, it was nice to see you and your family Dr. Cullen. I'll see you back at work. Izzy, I'm going to talk to Danielle, I'll call you before I leave."
"Ok. Bye daddy." She said smiling.
So Dr. Rendon is a vampire. That was odd.
"So who are you? And how do you know our…." This time I was cut off. By Philippe yelling with a HUGE smile on his face.
"Miss. Isabella Marie Swan Rendon!! Oh, it's soooo good to see you again!!" he said hugging her.
"It's good to see you to Philippe." She said.
I was shocked. I couldn't be, but then again now that I look at her closer she does kind of look like Bella.
"Well, you guys are so lucky you came in today." Philippe smiled looking at us. "Izzy is our best models here. She is always a pleasure to work with, and her photos…Oh, they are completely gorgeous! They….Nanci how many times have I told you that pink Baby Phat top does not go with the purple Aero jeans!! Excuse me again." He said walking away.
Nobody said a word for a moment. I finally broke the silence.
"Bella is that really you?" (A/N: i'm not sure how tall she really is but she is about 2 inches taller in this.)
"Yep. But everyone calls me Izzy now." She smiled, taking off her sunglasses to reveal teal colored eyes. "It's been a long time hasn't it? I've missed you guys."
Alice leapt at Bella and hugged her. "Oh, I missed you so much. We all have."
Everyone hugged her. When my turn came I froze.
I hadn't seen her in 70 years, and here she was. If I could cry I would have. So would the family.
I finally broke out of my trance when someone pushed me towards Bella. I looked over my shoulder.
Kat.
"It's good to see you again Edward." She said holding her arm open.
I walked into her open embrace freely.
"I've missed you to." That was all I could say. I'm lucky I could get that out.
She still smelled the same, but different. Sweeter. If that was even possible.
After a minute she pulled back and I reluctantly let her go. I turned to Kat and Kayla, then back to Bella.
"Bella.."
"Izzy." She stooped and corrected me. "Nobody's called me Bella in 69 years, so I usually don't respond to it anymore."
I just smiled. She was more confident in herself I could tell just by the way she stood and talked. I motioned for my fiancée and her sister to come over. "Izzy, this is my fiancée Kat and her little sister Kayla. We met them about 23 years ago after they were attacked."
Kat smiled and hugged 'Izzy'. That was going to take some getting use to.
"It's nice to finally meet you. Edward talks about you a lot." She said smiling.
"It's nice to meet you to. You two seem happy. I'm glad Edward found somebody he loves." Izzy said back.
"So your Bella?" Kayla said.
"Yep."
"Your pretty."
"Thanks so are you." Izzy said leaning down and hugging her.
"So Bel…Izzy, sorry, I guess you were changed after all?"
"Yeah."
"Why don't you tell them why Izzy." A male voice came from behind us.
"Caleb, I really don't want to go there right now."
"Why. I got a kick out of the story." He said smiling.
'Caleb' was about 5' 8" with lighter bronze then my own but not much, he had green eyes, he was wearing jeans and a black tank top with white/red Sketchers.
I heard Alice's thought come into my mind. 'Can you say model? He is kinda cute.'
"Guys this is Caleb Liander and Caleb this is the Cullen family." Izzy said.
Caleb shook all of our hands. When he got to me though he said, "You must be Edward. Izzy talks about you all the time."
I looked over to Izzy who looked like if she could still blush she would be completely red.
"Well we're going to go get ready for the shoot. We'll see you around hopefully." Izzy said grabbing Caleb and waving goodbye then started walking away.
A guess who POVI walked into Elite's studio a little late this morning. I say Izzy talking to a group of people. Vampires.
A familiar sent hit me but I ignored it. I saw Izzy grab Caleb and start walking away.
"Izz, Caleb!!" I yelled across the room and ran to them.
I high fived Caleb and hugged Izzy. I was about to say something when I heard a gasp.
Edward POV'Vampires.'
I heard the thought as if it was close. I looked over to the door and saw a teenage boy standing there.
He yelled out for Izzy and Caleb and then ran to them.
Just as they were about to walk away I heard Kat gasp.
I look into her mind and saw what she was seeing.
I gasped.
'It couldn't be.'
Kat PovI just stood there shocked. Memories rushing back.
I took a step towards the boy who was walking away with Izzy and Caleb.
'This has to be a mind trick.'
"Jeremy."
