(Bella POV)

More Trouble:

I walked over to him. At this very moment, I wished that I could read his mind more than ever.

"Edward, what's wrong," I asked.

"Victoria's not here," he said.

"Why are you worried?"

"She has never missed a day of school since I've met her."

"Oh boy. Um… I'll talk to my father when I get home. He's a doctor."

"Your father is Dr. Cullen?"

"Yeah. How'd you know," I asked.

"Well, your last name is Swan-Cullen and usually the man's name is second."

I smiled. The rest of the day was a normal day in the life of Bella Swan-Cullen. As for Bella Cullen, not so much. When I got home, I went to Carlisle and asked about Victoria.

"She is a vampire," he told me.

"When?"

"Friday night. She encountered a blonde male vampire. She came to me and asked if he was telling the truth about him being a vampire and herself. As a doctor, it is against the law to not tell them something when it has something to do with anything medical, even as far from it as possible. She's in love with the male."

Oh my god! She fell in love with James right away. Then I understood even more. Victoria was enraged when Edward took her first love away from her; himself. But then when he took her second love from her, it set an undying flame off in her heart. Then he took away her fake love; Riley.

If Victoria is enraged now, which she was, she could dispose of Edward now, while he was human and she wasn't.

I started freaking out. If Edward was killed now, if I never met him I would be returned to January 18, 2005. I'd never meet him, I'd never fall in love, I wouldn't have my family. I wouldn't get married, I'd grow old and die, I'd never be a vampire, my memories with Edward would disappear. My life would be normal.

I can't have a normal life. The next morning when I saw Edward, I told him to stay away from Victoria.

"Why," he asked.

"She is what I am," I tried.

"She is not. She isn't nice or proper."

"Not that."

"Then what?"

"I'll tell you later."

"No. You'll tell me now."

"I can't. I'll tell you after school. Walk home with me. I'll explain."

Thankfully, he let it go, until after school when we were walking home. He was just like I was.

"Explain," he said promptly.

"I am vampire. So is Dr. Cullen. Victoria, on Friday night, was changed into a vampire herself by a sadistic vampire whom she fell in love with. You enraged her by breaking up with her. I have a feeling that she is going to try to kill you since you are a human, no vampire… yet."

"What do you mean 'yet'?"

"Spanish Influenza is going to strike your family. You, you mom and dad are going to get it. You're father will die and then your mother, after telling Car…Dr. Cullen to 'do anything to save my son', 'my' being your mother. As you drift away, Carlisle will bite you and change you into a vampire yourself. If you aren't change when you are drifting or if you were to survive it, seventeen, my future will change dramatically. I can't tell you anything else. I went too far already."

He stared at me like I was crazy.

"It is true. I know it is hard to pick up but it is," I started and he covered my mouth with a hand.

"I believe you. I am just surprised that Victoria is out to get me."

"The problem is she is a newborn. She is strong and faster than me, not to mention more bloodthirsty."

Then it hit him. "My family is going to die?"

I nodded.

"You can't tell anyone," I told him, "If you do, it will change the future as well. Dr. Cullen doesn't even know he is going to bite you yet."

"What are we going to do about Victoria," he asked.

"All I can do; rip her apart without killing her."

"Why not kill her?"

"That would change the future as well."

He let it go then.

The following day, what I thought would happen, happened. Victoria snatched Edward. Great. This isn't part of his true past! Now the only way to get back to my time is to have Carlisle's bite the right way.

Then I realized with me here, there was no way to keep his past true. I ran to the hospital and got Carlisle.

"Carlisle, I need your help, desperately," I said.
