Hey guys! Thank you for all of the reviews! You guys are amazing, I guess that 'have a heart' thing really worked huh? Anyway here's chapter 3. It's probably not as well written as the first one but that's my opinion. Just a reminder: Bella's only supposed to have the power of invisibility. They can't know that she can transform. Enjoy! And PLEASE reply!

Chapter 3- Conversations

EPOV

It was maddening, not being able to read Claire's thoughts. Not only because of the frustration, but also because of the reminder of Bella. It was bad enough that this girl sounded and smelled like her, but blushing, mind blocking? Did god really hate me that much? At least she's not clumsy… I thought to myself. That would have been unbearable. I sat in my room, staring out at the mountains, thinking. Who is this girl who made my already hellish life even more unbearable? My thoughts were interrupted by a loud bang. I turned to see that Liz had slammed my door against the wall and was running, towards me. Oh no…I waited until the last possible second to move, so that she missed me by inches. I had to find another hiding spot from her, somewhere to think. I bolted up of the room and held it close for as long as I could, planning on my escape.

Liz was on the other side of the door, pounding on it.

"You can't hide from me forever Eddie!" she called in her obnoxious annoying, high pitched voice.

Wanna bet? I thought in my head. I gave the door one final push and ran at full speed up the stairs. I turned down our guest hallways. We never used these because they came with beds and we rarely traveled down here. I smiled. Liz would never find me here…I turned into a random bedroom and slammed the door behind me quietly, so Liz would not hear. I sighed and sunk to the floor, observing my surroundings. It was probably one of our most elaborate guest rooms. The walls and the furniture all were engraved and painted over with white and golden paint.

"Edward…you don't want me?" a voice pleaded.

I nearly jumped up in surprise. I turned to see a figure in the bed, sleeping. Claire. She must be talking in her sleep. What the heck? What is she talking about? And why can't I read her mind? Puzzled, I forgot all about Liz and moved closer towards the girl. She really was beautiful, whoever she was. I didn't have a chance to clearly look at her because her Bella-ness had overwhelmed me, and it still was. Her smell hit me like a tidal wave, as I got closer to her. It reminded me so much of her! My mind was telling me to run but pure curiosity took over as my feet got closer and closer to her. The sun pouring through the window hit her skin, making her sparkle. Her silky strawberry blonde hair lay across her head. Oh god, her shampoo even smells like Bella's! Her strange aqua eyes remained closed as mumbled something about it being too white. I almost chuckled at this. The reminder of Bella was very painful and so wonderful at the same time.

"Edward, don't go please Edward!" she almost screamed in her sleep. This was too much for me. I bolted out of the room, forgetting all about Liz. Who was this girl, and why does she remind me so much of Bella? As I was running, I promised myself this; I was going to find out more about this strange girl.

I was having that horrible nightmare again, the one where Edward left me. I saw myself, collapsed on the ground. I was vaguely aware of my screaming and I finally was able to wake myself up. My eyes shot open. I sat up and looked at my surroundings, confusion washed over me for a moment before I plopped back down on my bed. The light poured in from the windows, making my sweaty skin glitter. I sighed and got up to take a shower. After I was done I found Alice waiting for me.

"Oh, morning Claire!" she said jubilantly.

"Hey Alice, what up?" I said casually.

"Well…we're going shopping!" she exclaimed, grabbing my hand. Before I knew it I was being dragged down the stairs.

"Alice no!" I whined.

"Oh stop complaining! I haven't gone shopping in a week! Let's go," she said hurriedly, still dragging my hand.

"Alice, please!" I begged.

"Ugh!" she said letting out an exasperated sigh. "You sound just like Bella!"

Oh, that's not good…

"Alright fine, but only for a few hours. None of this all day stuff okay?" I caved in.

A bright smile lit across her face.

"Oh, I knew you would give in Claire, now come on, Rosalie and the guys are waiting!" She said and pulled me with renewed strength towards the door. She opened the door and the sun's reflection off the snow blinded me momentarily. She pulled me around the corner to the garage. Her car, a Boxster S Porsche in metallic silver was parked outside, ready to go. Looks like Alice finally got her Porsche… I saw Emmett and Rosalie were leaning against the car, arguing about something. I saw Rosalie smack Emmett in the back of the head before smiling at us. I smiled back at them and waved. As I turned around the last bend of the corner, I saw that Emmett and Rosalie weren't the only one's there. Edward was leaning against the hood of the car. He was looking down and was clearly unhappy with the situation. I didn't blame him; I would rather be anywhere but here too.

"Hey guys, ready to go?" Alice asked excitedly.

"Yeah sure," Rosalie said, equally excited. As they started to walk towards the car I realized that there wasn't going to be enough seats. As if reading my mind Alice exclaimed, "Oh, crude! I totally forgot that there isn't enough seats!"

"Why don't I sacrifice my seat?" Emmett said casually. "You girls and Edward go ahead, I'll just stay here with-"

"Oh no you don't!" Rosalie exclaimed, dragging him to the car and pushing him in.

Edward still didn't look up. He just remained where he was. He's probably thinking of how to get out of this, lucky.

"Oh I know!" Alice exclaimed jumping up and down. "Why don't you and Edward go together in your car?"

"What?!" both Edward and I demanded at the same time. Edward was looking at me now, his eyes full of pain and confusion. I turned away, knowing the tears would come if I held eye contact anymore.

"You heard me, you and Edward can go together and we'll meet you there," Alice explained. Oh crap…there's going to be no way of getting out of this one. "Okay?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, sure," I replied silently. Edward simply nodded and Alice jumped in glee. The others got in Alice's car while Edward and I awkwardly walked over to my car. I silently got into the drivers seat and Edward climbed into the passengers seat, not looking at me. I just realized that I had no idea where the mall was, and really didn't want to have to talk to Edward any more than I could handle.

"Um…Edward, do you want to drive, because I have no idea where we're going," I asked quietly, daring to look at him.

"Sure," he replied, never once turning his head towards me.

I got out of the car awkwardly. I stepped out of the car onto the black pavement and started walking hurriedly to the other car door. In my haste I stepped on a huge patch of ice and slipped. Right before feeling the hard ground on my butt, I felt two strong cold arms against my skin. I turned around to see Edward, looking at me, the way he did 50 years ago. Blushing a deep red I muttered a thanks and quickly climbed into the passengers side. Why the heck did I slip? Vampires don't do that! I stared out my window and prepared for the torture ahead.

How did I get in this mess? I thought as I leaned against Alice's car, fully aware of Claire's presence just a few feet away. Alice just said that she knew how to get away from Liz. And me, being totally moronic, trusted her. Now here I was, going to a mall, with Claire. Stupid Alice, I'm going to kill her. Why didn't she tell me she was going to bring her? I finally snapped out of my trance long enough to say she wanted Claire and I to go together, in her car, alone. That's not happening.

"What?!" Claire and I exclaimed. I got a quick glance at her. She didn't seem to be happy about going to the mall at all.

"Please Edward?" Alice pleaded in my head. "I really need this trip, also I had a vision about you two and-" I shot her a warning look and she quickly changed the subject.

"You heard me, you and Edward can go together and we'll meet you there," Alice explained. Urg! Dam Alice, DAM HER! I can't not accept, that would hurt the girl's feelings… I gave a nod and walked to Claire's car. What am I going to do? This girl is driving me crazy! But maybe I'll get to know I little more about her…I got into the passengers side, still thinking.

"Um…Edward, do you want to drive, because I have no idea where we're going," Claire's Bella-like voice asked, snapping my out of my thoughts.

"Sure," I replied absentmindedly. I got out of the car, walking to the other side. Suddenly I saw Claire start to fall. Out of a reflex from Bella I was instantly at her side, saving her from a bruise. For an instant the craziest thing happened. I thought Claire was my Bella, and my eyes betrayed me, giving her a look meant only for Bella. I thought I heard her mutter 'thanks', but I wasn't paying attention. My mind was racing. How could you? You can only give Bella that look, not this silly little vampire girl! Why did you do that you soulless monster? But why is this girl so like my Bella? She talks in her sleep, she blushes, she even sounds and smells like her! Does god really hate me that much that he would send someone to remind me of what I so stupidly lost 50 years ago. My Bella… My eyes were on the road ahead of me, but my mind was gone. I wasn't even headed in the direction of the mall anymore. I quickly snapped out of it and took a glance at Claire.

She was staring out of her window, nervously biting her lip. She seemed to be blocking her face with her honey cooled hair, sending a blast of her floral aroma every time her hair swayed. It was so frustrating, not being able to read her thoughts. I couldn't see her face either, so I had no idea what she was thinking. Well say something idiot, or else she's going to think you hate her.

"So," I started casually. "I guess you were tricked by Alice into coming to the mall too huh?" I said, desperately trying to break the silence.

She turned to me, her eyes looked sad for a moment before erasing it away with a brilliant, Bella smile.

"More like attack…"she trailed off, laughing a little.

I chuckled too.

"Welcome to the Cullen family," I said with a grin on my face. Did I just smile and laugh for the first time in 50 years? "I'm sorry for my behavior yesterday, I probably wasn't the most polite," I said sincerely.

"It's ok, Alice told me you were going through some stuff…" she trailed off and looked away from me again. "I'm sorry about your loss Edward," she muttered quietly, still never looking at me. I thought for a moment that she was crying because I smelt salt water, but then it was gone and I brushed it off.

"Thank you," I replied back solemnly, never letting my thoughts linger on Bella. Silence took over the car. After a few moments I asked, "So I heard you playing the piano before. You play very well. Did you compose that piece?"

She turned her face towards me and blushed.

"Yeah I did, and thanks," she said blushing again. "I hear you play also," she said.

"Well I used to, but I haven't in a very long time…" I trailed off.

"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot," she apologized. Her face looked like it was in pain as well. Tears started to form at her eyes before she turned away from me.

"Why are you crying?" I asked, looking at her.

"It's nothing really, it's just that I'm going through some stuff too," she replied, her voice cracking in some parts. It was really painful to see this girl cry. I don't know why but it didn't seem right that someone so Bella-like was in pain.

"What happened?" I asked, sincerely wanting to know.

I saw panic wash across her face before she amazingly pushed her tears aside and recomposed herself.

"Nothing…I'm-I'm fine," she stuttered, taking a deep, unnecessary breath. She looked at the road. "Are we still even going to the mall?" she asked with a smile on her face.

"Want to ditch Alice?" I said, giving her a smile in return.

"You read my mind," she said with a laugh.

I smiled at her, taking a right off the highway. "You know I really can't read your mind," I said.

"I'm not surprised…I have that affect on some vampires," she replied simply.

"Ah…that would explain it. So, do you have a power?" I asked curiously, turning to face her.

"Yeah, I can turn invisible," she replied. "Watch," she said with a mischievous smile. "Now you see me…" she turned towards me, and slowly she disappeared into the black leather of the car. "Now you don't," her voice said next to me.

"Sweet power," I said smiling.

"I guess it comes in handy sometimes," she said reappearing next to me. "So…where are we going?"

"Honestly, I have no idea," I replied back. How did it get so easy to talk to her? Just a couple minutes ago we had nothing to say to each other.

She laughed, a sweet bell laugh, and it was at that moment I found the one thing I feared the most. Someone that had the power to replace my Bella.

Okay, there it is, hope you guys liked it! PLEASE REVIEW!!
