(Bella POV)

1918:

I stood up and looked around. Why was everyone dressed as if they were one hundred? I was standing in the middle of a school hallway. I was wearing the same hideous clothes that everyone else was. I turned around and saw the boy that Edward said was him in the picture lip-locked with the girl he has said was Victoria. Then I saw it. We were sucked into the picture. But he was too. Why was he kissing the person he had beheaded? I tried to pull him off of her. It was too easy to do it. I guess I had kept me vampire abilities. I guess he lost them when he came back to when he was human.

"What the hell is your problem," he yelled.

"My problem? What's yours," I yelled back.

"I don't have a problem. I was kissing my girlfriend. You yanked me off of her," he said.

"You aren't dating her," I said.

"I don't even know you," he said.

His memory must have been wiped too.

I stared at him for a moment and then turned and walked away. I went to find a phone book. When I found it, I looked up "Cullen". Only one name was listed as a resident with the last name of Cullen; Carlisle. I looked for his address. I wrote it down and at 10:30 p.m, I went there and spoke to him.

I knocked on the door and he was there momentarily.

"Hello, young lady. What are you doing here at this late hour? Shouldn't you be sleeping," he asked.

"Carlisle," I started and he put his hand over my mouth.

"How do you know my name," Carlisle asked.

"I'll explain inside. Come on," I said and I walked in.

"Excuse me. First, who are you? Second, you don't just walk into someone else's house, especially not a stranger's."

"You are not a stranger. My name is Bella Cullen and in the future, I will become your daughter-in-law."

"Impossible. I don't have children."

"Not biological. I never said I will become your daughter-in-law to a biological child."

"I do not understand."

"I will be born in 1988, 70 years from now. I am just like you. Do you know Edward Cul... Mason?"

"Yes. I know the Mason family. Now are you talking about Edward or his son?"

"His son, but soon to be your son."

"What," he asked.

"I am a vampire, just like you. You change Edward, the son, after Edward, the man, and his wife, Elizabeth die of Spanish Influenza. You are lonely and you change Edward to become your own kind. Edward changes me in the year 2006."

"First, how do you know? Second, I don't believe you."

"I know because you will become my father-in-law in the year 2006."

"Fine. I am a vampire but if people find out, I will hunt you down."

"I would never tell the secret you and your family will entrust in me in 2005."

"I still don't believe that you are a vampire."

"Follow me," I said.

He came with me into the woods.

"Why are we here? Are you trying to be suicidal," he asked.

"No," I replied.

"Then why?"

"Oh, I'll show you why."

Before he could reply, I jumped up and pushed him to the ground, trapping him there.

"Do you believe me now," I asked him.

He didn't reply; just pushed me off of him. I ran to the forest were I knew there would be a large boulder. I was right.

I stopped and he crashed into me.

"You are fast," he said, "but what else is there to my kind?"

I lifted the large boulder, put it down, and then smashed it into dust in one punch.

"Ok. I believe you," he said and I smiled.

"Do you think, since I will become your daughter, that I could live with you until I figure this all out," I asked and he smiled and nodded.

"Thank you," I said and I hugged him.

That night, I told him about everything about me, the Edward and I "us", the him and I "us", and other things.

The following morning, I went to school. Every class that Edward and I were in together, Victoria was there too, except for one class. When I got there, I figured Victoria would walk in soon but she never did and I took the seat next to Edward.

"Why are you sitting," he asked.

"I need to talk to you," I replied.

"What? I still haven't forgiven you for yanking me off of my girlfriend."

"Refer to her as Victoria."

"How do you know her name?"

"That isn't important right now," I said and I saw that he was looking over me. At this point, I really wished that I was like him in the future; able to read minds.

"What are you thinking," I asked.

"I am thinking… I like what I see. Do you want to go out sometime," he asked.

"Sure." Why not go out with my husband who doesn't know that we are married yet?

"How about Friday night? There is a restaurant that my friends and I are going to with dates," he explained.

"What will you do about Victoria," I asked.

"I've been planning and breaking up with her for a while now but she keeps locking my heart away. However, that spell has been broken."

"How?"

"I met you. You are drop-dead gorgeous and you are nice and proper. Victoria… she can act so bratty."

"A plastic," I said and instantly regretted it.

"What is 'a plastic'," he asked.

"Nothing. Forget I ever said anything."

"Sure. By the way, do you even know who I am," he asked.

"Duh… Edward Cul… Mason." I needed to stop slipping.

"Umm… yeah… but it isn't Culmason, it is just Mason."

"I know."

"So… what is your name," he asked.

"Bella…" I started, wondering if I should use Swan or Cullen.

"Your last name," he asked.

"Oh…" I started and put them together.

"Bella… Oh?"

"No, sorry. Bella Swan-Cullen," I said.

At the end of class, we walked out and he put his arm around me.

"You aren't like other girls," he said.

I froze and said, "What do you mean?"

"Normal girls wouldn't let you put your arm around them until there was a steady relationship going," he explained.

"You have no idea," I muttered.

As we made outside, I heard a faint gasp from across the lot. I turned and saw it was from Victoria.

"Oh my god! Edward has his arms around that tramp that yanked him off of me yesterday," she said to one of the people surrounding her.

"Go defend your man," a random girl said back.

Victoria started walking across the yard and I turned and whispered to Edward, "Victoria is on her way over."

"Edward, what do you think you are doing," Victoria screeched.

"There are a few answers to that; A, cancelling our plans on Friday, B, breaking up with you, or C, holding my girlfriend. Take your pick," he said.

I loved the way he said girlfriend again. I was suddenly taken back, or should I say forward, to my high school years.

"Are you kidding me? You are dumping me for this… this… ugh! I can't say an appropriate word without getting suspended or expelled," Victoria said.

"Goodbye, Victoria."

"Why? I am beautiful, smart," she started and Edward cut in.

"And conceded. Bella is gorgeous, genius, along with other things; nice, sweet, kind, proper, genuine. No one else is like her."

He was close with that last part.

"You'll regret this," she said.

"No he won't. You haven't even met me yet. I don't belong here," I told her.

"I have met you. But I agree, you don't belong here," she said with an edge.

I felt the need to attack her and kill her there but that would alter my future and his; hers… not so much. She was going to be killed by a vampire anyways.

"Leave… now," I said.
