I'm really sorry I haven't updated sooner, I completely forgot about this chapter! Anyways, I hope I did good. I finally decided to change the plot completely, but stick with me, it will be even better than what I had before. I think I will just keep the title, so there will not be any confusion, because it sort of fits, it you think about it after reading this chapter.

Changing the Past

Chp. 4

Surprises

When I woke, Edward kissed my cheek and hopped out my window, promising to be here to pick me up. I reluctantly got out of bed and got ready for the day. Just as I was unwrapping a granola bar I had just snatched up, I heard a light tap on the door.

I launched myself in that direction so I could get there faster. Practically out of breath, I yanked the piece of wood that was dividing Edward and myself out of the way and threw myself into his waiting arms.

"Happy to see me, then?" he chuckled, kissing my hair.

"Always."

When we reached the school parking lot, Edward helped me out of the car and took my hand. We walked to the building in silence, trying to ignore everyone around us. We passed Jessica Stanley just as we neared my first class, and she gasped. I groaned, knowing she would ask me a million questions in Trig.

Edward seemed to read my mind, because he leaned over and whispered in my ear. "It will be okay, love. Just tell them whatever you want to, and I will go along with it." He smiled crookedly before walking off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I neared my Trigonometry class, I felt my stomach doing flips. I was nervous, I had no idea what to tell Jessica.

I guessed right, she was bouncing in her seat when I walked in. She patted the spot right next to her eagerly when she caught sight of me. I sighed heavily before moving.

When I was seated, she began. "Are you and Edward Cullen dating?"

"Yes"

She squealed. "Oh my gosh, tell me everything!"

I looked at her, thoroughly annoyed. "There's nothing to tell."

She quirked an eyebrow. "Sure there isn't. Spill. Now." She demanded.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds, thinking of what to say. When I finally opened them again, I spoke. "Okay, we've been dating for like a day, Jessica. There is absolutely nothing more than that."

"Has he kissed you yet?" I blushed at her question and she squealed again. "He did, didn't he? Is he a good kisser? I bet he is!" she waggled her eyebrows, laughing.

"Yes, he is, now stop." I commanded.

"Oh my God, tell me all about it!" She exclaimed, completely ignoring the fact that I told her to stop.

"Our lips touched, how else am I supposed to explain?"

"I meant like, tell me how he did it. But never mind, how did you land a guy like him? That's what I want to know. What is your secret?"

"I don't know, we just like each other! Can you please stop asking questions?" I pleaded.

"Did you go further than a kiss?" she winked slyly.

"Jessica!" I exclaimed, a bit too loudly, earning a glare from our teacher. "No, of course we didn't go further than a kiss!" I finished in a hushed tone.

"Ohh, defensive, are we?" she shoved my shoulder playfully.

"I'm done talking to you." I turned my head away.

She tapped my shoulder lightly. "Oh come on Bella, I was only kidding. But, I really do want to know about these kinds of things."

I sighed, but didn't acknowledge her. "Answer me one more question, please." I turned to see her with a heartbreaking pout on her face, and I gave up.

"Fine, one question."

She smiled widely "How much do you like him?"

"More than I should."

Her eyes widened. "Does he feel the same way?" she asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know, why don't you go ask him?"

Her expression turned completely serious, and I got a bit worried for a second. "What about Jacob, aren't you kind of dating him?"

"I thought you said only one question?"

"Just answer it, Bella."

I rolled my eyes. "No, Jacob and I aren't and never will be dating."

"Oh." She turned silent then, and I was left alone with my thoughts. What if everyone thought I was dating Edward and Jacob? That would not turn out good.

After Spanish, my last class of the day, Edward was leaning casually against my locker, waiting for me. "Hi there." I said with a smile.

One arm wrapped around my waist and the other took my books. "How was class?" He asked as I loaded my book bag, that glorious half smile on his face.

"I missed you."

His smile got wider. "And I missed you, too." He leaned over and kissed my temple.

I shut my locker door and we walked to the car hand and hand. He walked me around to my side of the car and opened the door for me. As I slipped in his Volvo, he went to the other side and got in the passenger seat.

Instead of starting the car, he just sat there. "Something wrong?" I asked.

"No….." his brow furrowed. "Yes." He then looked at me. "I'm deciding something."

I laughed lightly at his facial expression. "And what is this difficult decision you are having trouble with, Edward?"

He sighed and ran a hand through his bronze locks. "I was thinking…maybe….if you want to, we could go visit Carlisle and Esme." He looked over at me uneasily.

"Of course I want to, let's go!" I said immediately.

"But we need to have a story to tell them. They will most certainly think I'm crazy if I just come home saying 'hey guys, this is Bella, my soul mate, that I have never talked to before, but just randomly decided to yesterday after the scene I made in the hallway.'"

I arched an eyebrow. "Tell me about this scene you made."

He shot me a dirty look. "Bella, this is serious."

"Okay, okay, sorry. I think we should tell them about our situation though, don't you think? I mean, they could certainly help us figure out what happened to us."

He thought it over for a few moments. "Okay…but let's just go introduce you today, I don't want to put too much on them at once."

I smiled cheekily. "Sounds good to me."

On the way there, we decided that we would tell Carlisle and Esme that we were dating and that I knew about vampires and all of that. I had to be careful, I had to pretend that I knew very little about all of this, and not go blurting things out about special vampire abilities or the Volturi.

When we arrived at the house, I was fidgeting nervously in my seat. Edward opened my car door for me and placed his reassuring hand in mine. "Relax." He breathed into my ear, and kissed my neck.

I tried in vain to get my nerves to settle. Edward pulled me up the staircase and walked on through the front door. "Esme?" He called out, knowing Carlisle was at the hospital.

She descended down the staircase a few moments later, walking at a human pace. She smiled warmly when she stood in front of us. "Who's your friend, Edward?"

"This is Bella Swan." I stuck my hand out to shake hers, but she just stared at it. I pulled my hand away and Edward rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Its okay mom, she knows about us."

Esme's face lit up and instead of shaking my hand she pulled me into a gentle embrace. As she started to let go, I pulled her more tightly against me. She may find it weird that I would do that, but I had missed her so much that I couldn't let go just yet.

When I finally released her, she shot a suspicious look at Edward and he nodded slightly.

"Welcome to our home, dear. Are you hungry, thirsty, cold? Need anything at all?" she asked.

I shook my head and smiled politely. "No, I'm fine."

"Let me know."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward and I did research on all the vampire books in the house, trying to find anything that mentioned the ability to stick people in alternate universes. Carlisle wrote several books about vampires he had met in his three hundred years. The books were fascinating, and I enjoyed reading them.

After a few hours, Edward's head snapped up. "Come look at this." I scrambled over to his place on the floor and took the book out of his hands.

He pointed to a small passage and I read it quickly.

Around the year 1789, I came across a small coven of human drinkers. I spent an entire day with them, but that is all that they would allow because of my choice to preserve human life. Three members make up this coven, all with special abilities. Sadie was the leader, with the ability to persuade people into doing her will. Her closest sister was Ava, who could control animals. The third and most interesting woman was Hazel, who had the ability to place people in different dimensions of her choice, or one's she creates for them, which is also a power of hers. She shied away from the others and kept to herself most of the time. I didn't learn much about the abilities themselves, but I knew they were powerful. I hope to cross paths with these women again some day, to learn more about them and their gifts.

I looked up at Edward wide-eyed. "Could it have been Hazel?" I whispered as low as I could, knowing Esme could hear downstairs.

He shook his head. "I'll bet. She probably picked up on Carlisle's scent and came across our cottage." He whispered so low in my ear that I could barely hear.

"Should we ask him?"

"As soon as he comes home, I will bring up the topic, okay?" I nodded my head in agreement.

We placed all the books we had used back onto their correct places on the shelves and went back downstairs.

As he neared the couch, I went a different direction. I sat on the bench of his grand piano, and patted the spot right next to me. "Will you play for me?"

He nodded and sat down. He began playing an all too familiar tune, and I just leaned my head against his shoulder. Tears were threatening to come out as the melody played on and on. It made me remember our siblings, Renesmee, our old life. I knew that if the vampire named Hazel was behind it, than they were probably safe and sound, and we were just missing.

Or maybe we weren't missing? Maybe we were there in the correct dimension, too. Who knows?

Before I got any further into my thoughts, Carlisle walked through the front door. He glanced in our direction, but kept going onto the kitchen where Esme was.

Edward stopped playing, and got up, tugging me along with him into the kitchen. When we got in there, Esme and Carlisle were having a quiet conversation, but I didn't hear anything they said.

They both stood up straight and looked at us guiltily when we walked in. "Hello son, Bella." Carlisle smiled at us both.

"What are you guys hiding?" Edward asked suspiciously.

Esme stepped closer to us. "Nothing, we were just talking." She glanced nervously back at her husband.

Edward let it go, for once. "Okay whatever, Carlisle?" Carlisle nodded for him to go on. "Bella and I need to talk to you about something."

"And what would that be?"

"Well, we were reading a few books in your office, and we came across a certain one that held our interest. It talked about a vampire named, Hazel…" Edward trailed off.

Carlisle's eyes widened as Edward said the word vampire, and he looked frantically at me. Edward kept his eyes on Carlisle and explained. "She knows about vampires, but can you please tell us about a vampire named Hazel you met?"

Carlisle's expression remained and he looked at Esme who smiled reassuringly at him and patted his shoulder. "He asked you a question." She hinted.

"Oh, Hazel, right." He paused, his nose scrunching up. "She didn't talk to me once the entire day I was there. In fact, I don't think she spoke to anyone that day. The other two are the ones that told me about her ability. They told me she never used it, only sometimes when they were out she would use it on humans."

He seemed deep in thought, and wasn't speaking anymore. "Tell us what you know about her power." Edward ordered.

"Well, all I know is that she can place things into other dimensions or she can create a dimension and send them there. Why do you two want to know about that?" his confused expression turned into one of realization.

He didn't speak, he just flew up the stairs. Esme stared after him, not sure what to do.

"Do you think I should-" before she could finish her sentence, the doorbell rang.

Esme walked up to the door, with Edward and I following closely behind her. Esme opened the door as wide as it could go and flew into the person standing there's embrace. "Oh, you came!" Esme exclaimed.

When the two let go, I found that I recognized the woman standing before me. Oh shit. Could this get any worse?
