"She wants you to go to her house?" Torell asked, dumbfounded.

"Yeah…We talked for, like, two minutes and she asked me if I wanted to hang out tonight." I said, still shocked.

"And you said YES???" Kim asked, her eyes wide like a deer in headlights.

"I don't know why, but…yeah." I said, starting to stutter.

"Girls, stop talking! Do your work." My English teacher, Miss G. said. No one knows how to pronounce her last name, so I won't even try.

I'm actually not sorry about not being quiet. Does she realize how important this is?

The phone rings.

"Hello?...Yes… Okay… Thanks, bye." Miss G. said. "Mia, that was guidance. Your mom called and gave you permission to ride home with the Cullens today."

The class went silent.

"Okay." I breathed.

My mom? How did she know?

"What…..The….." Torell said quietly. She did finish that statement, but I won't say what she said. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the rest of it.

"Oh my God….Oh…..My….God!" Kim said continually. She sounds like a broken record.

The whole class erupted with conversation. I heard "Mia" and "Cullen" over and over again. When "freak" was thrown into the muttering, I knew I had to get out of there. I couldn't take it one more second.

I stood up and the class fell silent once more. When I opened the door, Miss G. asked, "Umm, where exactly are you going?"

"Uh.. Bathroom." I mumbled.

As soon as I got out of the room, I ran to the bathroom and threw up. What's going on? Why is everything happening so fast? Oh, WHY did I tell Bella yes?

Brrrrring. Class is over. Time to go meet with Bella. Why am I so nervous about this?

I'm going to die. Seriously. We must be going over 100mph. Emmett Cullen, not seeming too happy to see me walk to his Jeep with Bella, is the scariest person I've ever ridden with in a car. Wait, no, I think he's the scariest person I've ever met. Period. Rosalie Hale just looks pissed off. Bella is looking out the window like this is normal. Alice has a dazed look on her face. Jasper looks like he's going to throw up. I feel like I'm going to throw up, too.

Suddenly, we stopped.

"Hi, everyone!" a small voice said. Wow, that voice sounds familiar.

"Hi, Jackie! This is Mia, one of my new friends." Bella introduced. "Mia, this is my 'little sister', Jackie Cullen."

I turned around.

"…..Jackie?" I said.

"Mia? Mia Jeffris!" Jackie shouted out in surprise. She then ran away so fast that I lost sight of her.

"What's going on??" I asked. That was my friend from fourth grade. My only friend. That's how I know that that girl is NOT Jackie Cullen. She is Jackie Fletcher. FLETCHER. She hadn't aged one day since I saw her last.

"What do you mean, Mia?" Bella asked.

"That girl…I knew her!" I stammered. They can't deny this.

"Jackie? Nah, she's just a little kid!" Emmett said, entering the conversation.

"A little kid…that I met in Topeka, Kansas ten years ago. Then, she moved to India three weeks into the school year." I said. I'm afraid right now. I don't like the way Jasper is eyeing me.

"That's impossible." Rosalie said, glaring at me.

The car lurched. Evidently, we were moving. We're at the Cullen's house. It looks exactly like I remembered it from my nightmare.

Someone stepped out of the house. Edward Cullen. Why wasn't he at school today?

"Get in here." He said to all of us.

I thought of escaping. Then and there. Before I could try to run away, Alice said, "Don't run. Just come inside. We need to talk to you."

How did she know I would try to run????

I gasped at the inside of the Cullen house. Even if I had seen it before, the huge house was still amazing.

"Why are you here." Edward said.

"Edward…." Alice said.

"No, let me talk." Edward said.

"I saw what happens, Edward!" Alice said.

"Bella?" I asked. Someone has to be on my side here.

"Just listen to Edward, okay? You're going to try to interrupt a bunch of times, but don't. Just listen." Alice said, almost soothingly.

"No, someone is going to tell me why and how Jackie Fletcher is here." I said, close to a yell. I can feel the heat flowing to my face.

"Jasper. Help please." Edward said quietly.

I then felt calm. Calmer than I've felt since moving here. Heck, calmer than I've felt in my fourteen years of life.

"Edward." Jasper said warningly.

"It's okay, Jazz. Just stay focused." Alice said to him.

"Look, this friendship you and my wi- girlfriend have formed needs to end." Edward said, forcefully.

Why?

"I can't let you be a part of her life." He said, as though answering my thoughts. "It's too dangerous."

Dangerous????

"How…How did you know?" I stuttered.

"How did I know what, Mia?" Edward said mysteriously.

"Edward, this is enough. Leave Mia alone!" Bella said.

"What is going on here? I yelled out, hoping that someone might actually answer me if I was aggressive.

"Jazz, stay focused." Alice encouraged. Jasper looked like he was losing grip. Someone should help him sit down and relax.

"Where are your parents….Carlisle and Esme?" I choked out.

"They're on….a camping trip with Renes- each other." Alice said. By the look on her face, she knew she blew the cover of something.

"Renes….Renes-what? What's that?" I blurted out. I need to know these things. And someone had better tell me. Now.

"Her name is Renesmee. She's my-" Bella began before being cut off by Edward.

"Bella, no." Edward said fiercely.

"Let her go, Edward." Alice whispered. "She needs someone."

"She's got us. She doesn't need anyone else!" He retorted.

"Renesmee, Edward and my daughter, is camping with Carlisle and Esme." Bella said before Edward could stop her.

"Yourdaughter???" I asked, surprised.

"I can't control is anymore, Alice." Jasper said through clenched teeth.

Then it hit me. This is almost exactly like my nightmare. Except Bella is here and I know who she is….Where'd Rosalie and Emmett go? Oh, no, if this is like my nightmare, then I know what's happening next.

"He's going to bite me." I said.

"Who, Mia?" Bella asked, concerned.

Suddenly, I was on the floor. Jasper then proceeded to bite my neck.

Even though I knew what was coming that time, I find myself up in flames once more. My screams echoed throughout the house. Losing consciousness, I hear a faint scream of terror followed by a call for Emmett.

Through my impaired vision, I see Emmett struggling to get Jasper off of me.

"Jasper, no!" Bella cried out.

I'm dying. Bella shoves Jasper off of me. Burning. She puts her mouth to my neck. Pain. The fire is dying down. Ashes.

I'm gone.
