Sorry for the slight delay. I was really busy.
Hope you'll like it.
"So Sister...tell me because I'm just so curious. Are you in possession of a small, probably black, device, called a cell phone?" I raised my eyebrow and gave her my best bitch look.
"Umm...yes?" She looked at me with a surprised expression. "Why?"
"Do you know how to use it?" Her eyes started shining as she crossed her hands on her chest.
"Yes."
"Then maybe next time before you decide to blow my cover up, you should press the small button that says 'Warn your sister that you are coming to town, you silly little bitch!' and call me." A small smile crept up her face as she saw just how angry I was. She loved annoying me but this...this was just too much.
Because you see, for normal people a visit from your twin sister would be a happy event but in our situation such a thing could destroy your whole life scheme if I can call it this way. I mean when you are 500 hundred and something years old, you are almost never introducing yourself with your real name and are definitely not telling your real life story. Like I don't just go and introduce myself with 'Hi! I'm Annabelle Pierce and I'm 540 years old vampire. A nightwalker, by the way, not a Cold One. And just in case you are wondering, I have a twin sister, who is a former doppelganger and oh...I'm not a doppelganger, even though we look very much alike. Because...you see, I have a secret...' and go on and forth...telling him or her everything. We just don't do this...unless it's absolutely necessary or we are in the company of Nightwalkers, who we trust. And that happened really rarely.
"True. But it would have ruined all the mystery in our relationship, wouldn't it? Plus my phone is white." I took a deep breath, trying to control myself. Her smirk disappeared as soon as she saw my death glare. "Besides...I couldn't risk calling you and..."
"Oh, so let me get this straight. You couldn't risk calling me and yet you decided that it's ok to risk exposing not only me but her by showing up on my boyfriend's doorstep? Wow, you really have unbreakable logic, sis, just unbreakable." I pursed lips and looked around. Currently we were sitting on a huge rock nearby a beautiful stream, deep in the forests of Forks. I hit the rock hard, making a fist-shaped hole in it.
"Ok, look. Let's suppose that I was wrong..."
"No, we are not supposing anything. We know it for sure."
"Ok. I was wrong and you were right. Happy?" I nodded approvingly."Fine but we really do need to talk." I looked down and then looked up at the sky. This was exactly what we had been worried about for so long. The Talk.
"Proceed." I said and looked down at my watch. We didn't have a lot of time. After all I had left a pretty upset group of Cullen's that needed to be taken care of.
"I need your help. You have to do back to Mystic Falls with me." I rolled my eyes. This town again? Seriously? It should have been wiped out from the face of the Earth centuries ago, it had brought nothing else but misery. "I swear Belle, things are pretty bad back there. It's a supernatural hell. Vampires, werewolves, hunters...oh and a new doppelganger." My head darted towards her. She nodded sympathetically. "Yeah, bummer, right? Her name is Elena and she obviously is not only looking like me. She dates Stefan." Katherine frowned and I let out a small smile.
"The famous Stefan. I never actually met him. " I paused. "And you are ok with them dating?"
"Of course I'm not! But that's another story."She smiled devilishly and made an impatient gesture. "The important thing is that not only Elena is in Mystic Falls."She puckered her lips."You- know- who is there too." Well, I guess that shouldn't have come as a surprise but it did. I jumped off the rock, running my hand through my hair, panic starting to consume me.
"I can't go there, Kat. You know what happened between us, how could you even suggest that?" She jumped off the rock and came next to me.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures, sis. It's worse than last time, much worse. Last time he had...you but now he has no one . He doesn't care who goes down, he doesn't care about anything, Belle. He just wants what he wants . He let one doppelganger get away and he is never making that mistake again." She was looking at me, plead in her eyes. I swallowed thickly.
"Does he know about my part in his stupid curse?" She shook her head and I breathed from relieve. "Then why are you so concerned? He can't break his stupid curse without me. He is going to try but he is not going to succeed." She shook her head.
"I never told you this but...I connected with his mother." I looked at her with wide eyes. I was just about to scream 'WHAT? YOU CONNECTED WITH THE ORIGINAL WITCH WITHOUT ME?!' But she stopped me with a gesture. "A few years ago I visited Mystic Falls and I was just entering their bar, when a boy yelled 'Elena! I thought you were out of town.' to me. I was dumbstruck for a minute but I quickly got it. There was a new doppelganger. She was still too young for the ritual but it was a fact that after a few years he was going find her, and...you can guess the other part. I asked a witch for help and she managed to connect with Esther." I opened my mouth but she cut me off again. I frowned. "I asked her what would happen if he performed the ritual without you...and here comes the interesting part, she said that it might work. Not the way it's supposed to, of course. He won't be able to break it completely but he will gain some of his werewolf power."
"But..."
"I'm not finished yet. This power will more likely hurt him than anyone else because no one knows if it really is going to work without you. He can die or he can have a wolf ass forever. You know, all kinds of cool stuff but it can really give him power that we don't want him to posses. "She paused for a few seconds, hesitating. She looked me in the eyes. "You know him better that anyone else. You know what he is capable of doing now...just imagine what's going to do if the ritual doesn't work or if it does." I looked down at my hands. I didn't like being remained of just how well I knew him. As she said, better than anyone else. Even his family.
"What do you want me to do? I can't single handedly stop him. "I said with bitter voice, unwanted memories flooding my mind.
"I'm not asking you for that. But you are our secret weapon. Plus you are the only person he has ever listened to." She said and I looked at her murderously. "Please. We need you."
"Katherine, do you remember why I left him?"She nodded her head. "I don't care if he is going to gain his werewolf powers, you know that I never did. But I just can't face him, it will be too much." I shook my head.
"Belle, listen to me. I remember why you left him but do you? Don't do it for me, do it for him. Remember that little deal you made with..."
"Enough, Katherine. Don't push me and don't even try to blackmail me."She opened her mouth to say something but I cut her off, feeling like my head was going to explode. Of course that I remembered that stupid so called deal. It was the reason why I had been so miserable for the past 500 years. The same thoughts that swirled in my head back then started filling it again.
I had to go, didn't I ? Plus I was sure that she would want to save him too. I guess that the time to confront the love of my live had come. And I couldn't do anything to prevent it.
"I have to go back to the Cullen's." I just said and started running through the forest. I thought that the run would clear my head, make me sort my priorities but guess what? I stopped in front of their house, feeling more confused than ever.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. No one answered so I just...helped myself in.
"Hello? Anybody home in Cullenville?" I heard a quiet noise and then I felt a breeze. Predictable. "Hello Edward." I turned around to look at him.
"Mind to explain us what's going on?"I heard the others coming behind my back. I pursed lips and crossed hands on my chest.
"Sure. Sit down." I turned around and nodded briefly. Edward looked at me with a weird expression but obeyed. When they were where I wanted them to be, I started talking. "So long story short. I'm a horrible person and I lied to you all. I'm not the little clumsy Bella Swan, my name is Annabelle Pierce and I'm 500 and something years old vampire. I..." I was cut off by Edward's laughter.
"Bella, honey, are you ok? You are not a vampire, you are not pale, you have a beating heart. You have blood ...don't you think that if you were a vampire, we wouldn't have found out earlier?" Carlisle stood up and looked at his son then looked at me. I could see his curiosity in his eyes, on his face, in his body language. He put his hand on Edward's shoulder, making him stop laughing.
"No, son. I don't think she is lying."
"What?"Asked Alice and looked at her father. "Carlisle, you don't really suggest that she is a vampire, do you?"
"Listen to me. You remember how I stayed with the Volturi for a couple decades, right? Well, Aro was obsessed with the idea that there were other species of vampires, species that were stronger and faster than us. Species that knew everything about us. And he was terrified of the fact we had no clue how they looked or how they behaved. We virtually know nothing about them."
"Of course you don't. We are too smart for you. We are the real vampires. The Original type, you my dear friends, are experiments. You were created by a mistake and we will always be better because we blend. We look like humans in one moment and in the other...bam...you are missing your head."
"Tell me more." He said with a dreamy expression but I just smiled.
"No can do. I don't have much time and you want to know more. Well, the girl you saw earlier was my twin sister, she has asked me to come back with her and..."
"You are leaving us?" Edward stood up and made a step towards me. I looked at the others, Alice was looking...I don't know sad? Emmett...he was such a teddy bear, he was wearing a sad expression too and Jasper...he was looking relived.
I bit the inside of my cheek.
"Well not exactly...you can come and visit me sometimes...I guess." I hoped that they were seeing that I was just being polite. Coming to Hell Hole MF would be their biggest mistake...ever.
I looked down, avoiding their eyes. I was acting horrible and I realized it but I needed to be harsh. They were not supposed to learn about me, or the curse, or anything at all actually.
"Fine. So I guess it's time for us to go. You ready?" I asked and Edward and Carlisle looked at me surprised.
"Who are you talking to?" She really didn't tell them a word! Cold blooded, really, even I had the decency to say a few words before I left.
"To me. She was talking to me." She moved forwards, all the eyes in the room pinned to her. I smiled.
"Rose? What's going on?" Wow, too many 'What's going on?' today, uh? I decided to cut in.
"She is coming with me." They ignored me and all looked at her. Esme came forward.
"Honey, what's going on? What is she talking about? I thought you hated her" She made an annoyed expression and I smiled. Should have prepared them for that, just should have.
"Never said that."
"But why her?" Edward asked with hurt expression. Poor guy, must have been tough on him, ya know finding out that the so called love of his extended life form is a complete fraud. But she wasn't in for sappy stories, never has, never will. She snorted and came next to me, all Rose gone ,now only her usual bitch-don't-bother-to-talk-to-me look.
"Why, what, where, when. Too much Wh-questions, don't you think. I'm going with her because I'm her sister in law...or well almost was." She smiled evilly as we turned around and headed for the door. Right before it she stopped and turned her head around.
"Oh and by the way...my name is Rebekah Mikaelson "
