Chapter 9

*

Sarafina backed up and stared at her sister, tears forming in her eyes. She blinked them back and couldn't help but feel giddy.

"Sara, what is up with you?" Missy exclaimed, taking a step back and staring at her sister incredulously.

Sarafina wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and began to chuckle under her breath, "Don't worry about it" her voice was strained.

"So c'mon let's get going. School starts in half an hour" Missy said, shoving a coat to Sarafina's face. It was her old black pea coat that she got especially for her new arrival to her new home.

Sarafina took the coat and nodded. She ran out her room and took two steps at a time as she went down the stairs. Sara's face then lightened up and she turned around and ran back up. She almost tripped on one of the steps from being distracted from what was going through her mind.

Sara ran passed her room and into her surrogate mother, Despina's, room. She grabbed onto the door frame to come to a halt and then her face dropped.

"She's at work" Missy called as she passed to get to the stairs.

"I forgot" Sarafina mumbled. I wanted to see her again …

Sarafina's POV

I remember this room like I was just in it yesterday. I can point out every crack and hole in this entire house. Every critter and vermin that ever entered this house is still fresh in my mind from the day they came to the day they died or escaped. I can close my eyes and walk around the house without tripping or bumping into anything around me.

Crap… I need to keep my mind straight, the reason I came back here was to stop someone's heart from getting broken. Actually two hearts. Edward's and that stinkin' human's.

"Missy" I called as I trotted down the stairs to the front door, "I'll meet you in the car"

"Sure thing. I'm just gonna take a second to fix the chair that you broke last night" Missy yelled back, sounding a bit grouchy.

Ha. I remember that chair. I was just leaning back and Missy and Despina kept telling me I was going to break it but I thought I knew better but I was wrong.

I smirked and then I turned towards the door and looked at my car, I had a black Firebird. I open the door a little too quick causing it to whack against the wall of the house.

"Christ, Sara! You're going to end up breaking the whole house!" Missy wailed from the kitchen window.

"Stop your nagging" I muttered under my breath as I brushed my hands against my car. It's been ages since I drove it in. I couldn't even think straight to remember when the last time I did.

I ran back into the house to grab my car keys which hung on a nail inside the house. I hopped in the car and turned on the engine. Hearing the engine made my skin tingle and I felt the giddy feeling coming back.

Think straight Sara! I need to get to Denali

I looked at the porch of my house, taking in all the scenery and the details. Missy started to come out of the house and I knew that I needed to go now.

"Missy, I'll meet you at school, kay? I gotta…um…pick something up" I lied.

"What do you need to get?" she asked walking up to the passenger window.

Ugh maybe I can stay one day here. Just to spend time with them…

My head began to hurt and I shot up straight. I can't mess things up, I need to stay here and fix the problem. I have no time to lose.

"Pictures. I went to go get them developed yesterday and the pick up date is today." I said, putting on sunglasses that I had on my dashboard. I didn't want her to suspect any faults to my excuse to leave.

Missy looked at me skeptically and crossed her arms.

"Melissa, I need to get going unless you want me to be late to school…" I growled. This was the only way I could leave.

Missy backed up and nodded, "Fine, I'll see you at school"

I pressed the gas and accelerated out of vicinity. "I'm sorry Missy. I hope you'll understand"

000000000000000000

I was driving for awhile, a day or two by now, I don't really remember. I got around quickly since there weren't many police cars or traffic around to slow me down. Once I got the old creek, I knew I wasn't far from Denali.

The falling snow was a comforting sight. I recognized the trees and the houses that I passed by. It was like I left my real home to come back to my home away from home. I guess that's why I wasn't feeling so bad about leaving my family.

I parked in Tanya's front yard and got out of the car. I was leaning against the hood of my car, debating how I would go in without sounding weird or awkward.

Suddenly I got my answer when I heard the door creak open. I looked up and saw Edward and Carlisle standing in the front door, staring dead at me. I recognized Edward's bronzed hair and impassive demeanor and Carlisle's young and gentle face.

"Uh hello" were the first words that escaped my lips.

"Welcome. Are you a lost traveler?" Carlisle smiled.

"Uhm, yes. I'm headed up north but I don't think my car can last much longer. Do you think I can crash here for the night?" I asked, the corners of my lips twitching up when I saw Edward's eyes narrow in suspicion.

Yeah…I know you can read my thoughts, you creep. A smirk formed on my lips but then I realized the mistake in letting him know I knew about him, Ah. Crap!

Edward's eyes widened as he heard what I had said in my head.

"I'm sure Tanya wouldn't mind you staying with us" Carlisle said, gesturing for me to follow him inside.

"Tanya?" I asked in fake curiosity

"Yes, this house really belongs to her and her two sisters." Carlisle responded.

"Oh…" I said as I skipped up the front steps and accidently almost knocked into Edward. I laughed nervously and then side stepped to get inside and stay behind Carlisle.

Once I got inside the interior design were much different then the present time. It was more plaid and instead of the usual huge white tile, it was a wooden floor.

"Oh I never got your name" Carlisle said, interrupting my scanning of the front room.

"Sarafina" I mumbled. My eyes crossed the whole room and then fell on Edward. He didn't look very happy. It seems his manner hasn't changed much.

His eyes looked strained and I knew that he was expecting answers soon.

"I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my son Edward" Carlisle smiled warmly. And from the corner of my eye I saw another figure walking in gracefully.

"We have a visitor" the soft voice sung.

"This is Sarafina" Carlisle replied. "Sarafina, this is my wife Esme"

I turned to watch Esme walk to Carlisle's side, "It's nice to meet you, Sarafina. Lovely name" she beamed.

"Oh you can call me Sara" I grinned nervously. It felt a bit awkward having to meet Carlisle and Esme all over again, and having this creep glaring at me.

Someone cleared their throat and everyone turned to see some blonde hair girl, practically hovering over us.

"Rosalie, we have a guest" Carlisle said, gesturing towards me.

Rosalie eyed me up and down and then turned around and walked back into the kitchen. If back there still was the kitchen anymore. Who knows what renovations happened before I met Tanya.

"Tanya was looking for you Edward" Rosalie called as she continued walking.

"Ah yes, let us introduce you to Tanya" Carlisle said, putting his arm around Esme and pacing behind Rosalie.

I gulped and waited for Edward to move first, but he didn't seem to budge, so I took a few strides so that I was close behind Carlisle and not alone with Edward just yet. I would explain to him what was with my arrival sooner or later.

"Watch where you put that thing!" a voice shouted from the old fashioned looking kitchen.

"Tanya…" I whispered under my breath. Seeing a more familiar and comforting face made me feel a bit better.

Carlisle had heard me and nodded, "Yes, the blonde one is Tanya"

Tanya twirled around and stared at me inquisitively, "Hello…" her voice trailed off.

"H-Hi" I mumbled.

"This is Sarafina. I found her outside, she seems to be lost" Carlisle explained.

"Oh so she's the one we heard outside" Kate exclaimed.

Tanya skipped towards me and smiled, "I'm Tanya" she said reaching out her hand. I shook it slowly and then smiled. "And that's Kate and Irina" she said pointing to her sisters.

Déjà vu.

"It's nice meeting you all" I said looking at everyone in the room, "I'm sorry to make this random appearance."

"No trouble at all. We get new arrivals all the time. They come and stop by when they pass through here." Tanya exclaimed, "Example A" she said clinging onto Edward and Carlisle's arm.

"We find ourselves more to be like family then just guests" Carlisle smiled sincerely.

Tanya grinned, "Not too much like family though" she said, eyeing Edward.

Edward grunted and then shook out of Tanya's grasp, "I'll be right back" Then he took off from the back door.

"So…" I said, breaking the silence Edward had caused, "Where's Alice?" I asked. I knew there were more Cullens' but I hadn't been properly introduced to them in the present time.

Everyone stared at me as if I had six heads. I blinked and smiled nervously. What's the big deal? Do I have something on my face?

"Who's Alice?" Rosalie scoffed.

"You know…Alice. Perky, pixie-like, Alice…" I said, my voice trailing off in the end.

Carlisle and Esme exchanged an uneasy glance, "I'm sorry, is Alice a friend of yours?" Carlisle said.

"No she's—" then it hit me. They probably haven't met Alice or the others yet. Right now the only Cullens at the moment were Carlisle, Edward, Esme, and Rosalie.

"Heh nevermind" I said, scratching the back of my head.

Tanya chuckled, "How about I show you to your room?"

After Tanya led me to the all too familiar staircase and to the second floor, I chuckled a bit finding out that it was my original room from present time. "It's nice in here" I said plopping down on the green and red couch.

"Make yourself at home" Tanya beamed, "The Cullens' are going hunting in a bit if you're hungry"

My throat was actually burning from the lack of hunting. I don't remember when the last time I went hunting was so I nodded and followed her back downstairs.

After about half an hour Carlisle decided that Edward would meet us at the hunting grounds rather then meet us at Tanya's house, since he was taking too long; and they thought I wouldn't be able to hold in my thirst.

Esme and Carlisle ran through the forest hand in hand. It looked cute but then I cringed in my head thinking about Giacomo for a split second. The thought escaped me when I saw Rosalie growl beside me. I turned to her and then I realized that I might have been glaring at Carlisle and Esme from behind.

I stared down at my feet as I continued to follow them. Once we heard a herd of elks we had ourselves a fiest. By the time I was full; I looked around and noticed that I was alone. I knew Carlisle and Esme were a few miles down, but I lost all track of Rosalie.

I ran back to Carlisle and waited for him and Esme to finish their meal. I thought it would be rude to stare at them as they ate so I tried to distract myself with the nature around me.

There was a bird chirping few miles east from us, a padding of paws being pressed to the ground far west, and there was a growl coming from deep north of the forest, maybe in Canadian territory. I closed my eyes and I caught the sound of someone running towards the noise. The growl was husky and rough, it was probably a grizzly bear.

I turned my attention to Carlisle and Esme as they walked back towards me and then suddenly there was a loud yelling coming from where I heard the grizzly bear. I looked up at Carlisle with a worried expression.

"Where's Rosalie?" I asked quickly.

Esme looked up at Carlisle, worry had stricken her face.

"I'm sure she's fine" Carlisle replied.

Then someone was running towards us. It was a quick haste because their breathing seemed too unstable. It had to be a vampire for sure, since no human could run at that speed.

"Someone's coming" I stated the obvious

Carlisle nodded and stood staring north with a solemn face. It took me awhile to realize that it was Rosalie and she was with someone. I took a whiff of the air and realized she was carrying something…a human.

It only took a couple of minutes until she came into view, holding what seemed like a husky male, who looked like he got mauled by the grizzly bear.

"Carlisle, help!" Rosalie shouted. If it was possible, I swear tears would've been streaming down her eyes by the way she spoke.

Carlisle closed the distance between him and Rosalie and took the human away from her grasp and then started to head back to Tanya's with Rosalie right behind him.

"Dear, why don't you go finish hunting if you need too. We'll be back at Tanya's house" Esme exclaimed and then trailed behind the others.

"But I'm already done—" I said but it was too late because they were all gone. I figured now would be the perfect time to go and find Edward and tell him what my whole purpose here was.

It didn't take me long to realize that he would be in the clearing a few miles behind Tanya's house. I made sure not to make a lot of noise and to keep my mind blank until I was beside him. I didn't want to give anything away.

I finally caught a glimpse of him. His skin shimmering in the sun. The snow stopped but there was a good few inches already on the ground. He suddenly sat up and stared into the direction I was coming from.

Crud. He noticed me. I took bigger strides as I got passed the trees and into the clearing. I stood in front of him, hovering over his body.

"Hello" was the only thing I would think of saying.

"Would you mind telling me who you really are?" Edward snapped.

"Dang mustang, calm down" I said, plopping to the ground so we were at eye level. "I'll explain everything"

He sneered and waited for me to continue.

"Well my name really is Sarafina. I'm from Kansas but I'm actually really from the future" I said, wiggling my fingers for some dramatic take.

Edward rolled his eyes and sighed, "You're not going to tell me are you?"

"You don't believe me?!" I practically yelped.

"Not one bit"

"If I'm not from the future how did I know you could read minds and Tanya's name. I could name everyone that's in your family too" I exclaimed, getting worked up that this wasn't the way I had planned it to be.

"Obviously you know everyone in my family. You just met them." Edward said, shaking his head in disbelief.

"I can name the ones that you will be getting in the future. And the mind reading thing…hello! How do you think I knew that?!" I shouted.

Edward stared down at his hands and then back at me, "So what do you want?"

"I'm here to tell you something. Something that's going to save your existence" I mumbled. He leaned in, ready to hear what I was about to say.

"I need you to stay away from a town called Forks, Washington. Do you understand me?" I said, speaking slowly and distinctly.

"Forks? It's not too far from here actually" Edward exclaimed, thinking about it in his head.

"Alright! Well don't go there!" I shouted.

Edward looked taken back and then narrowed his eyes, "Why?"

"You will ruin your existence if you go there. Stay here and marry Tanya. That'll be your best bet." I exclaimed.

"Tanya? Me and Tanya are just friends" Edward grumbled, as he took a quick glance towards her house.

"Please, just listen to me. I didn't come all the way out here for nothing" I said, brushing my fingers through my hair.

"You came all the way over here to pass me on a message?" He asked, astonishingly.

"Yes, now please—" Then I suddenly got a sharp pain to my head. I didn't think I could ever feel pain like this but I suddenly got in a fetal position and clutched my head with my hands.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked, as he came to my side and tried to sit me up.

I started to get a blurry vision and I knew that I couldn't stare much longer. "Do what I said!" practically choked out and before I knew it, I blanked out.

0000000000

I woke up in my original room, lying on my couch. Clothes scattered all over the floor, the new couch and love seat still in place. I seemed like nothing had changed. I felt like smacking myself.

Nothing had changed! I wasted all the time for nothing. Maybe it was all a dream or something. Maybe my headache when I read my journal just brings me to a state of unconsciousness.

I sighed and slumped off the couch and sulked downstairs to see Tanya and the other Cullens. As I walked slowly down the stairs I heard laughter coming from the kitchen.

Edward better not have told them about what I planned on doing and how I probably just ended up falling asleep.

I inwardly growled and then stepped into the kitchen.

"Hey you" Tanya said as she stared up from the television in the kitchen with the cooking channel on high volume.

I smiled for a second and then brought on an emotionless façade and sat on one of the stools in the kitchen. I looked around but Tanya was the only one in the kitchen.

Tanya was doing her regular cooking activities while watching Rachel Ray. On the stove was a pan filled with looked like green leaves and olive oil. I started watching the show too until I got confused with the cook's slang words for some of the ingredients; like EVOO. I always wondered if Tanya knew what was going on.

A second later Edward came through the kitchen back door. "Hello" he said nodding towards me. I half smiled and then waited for him to start with his rant about how I was ridiculous and that my stunt was useless.

To my surprise he didn't say anything about that. He glided towards Tanya and wrapped his arms around her waist. I wasn't sure if that was their usual greeting towards each other, but I just continued staring at them. Tanya rested her head on the nape of his neck; Edward took her chin and reached down to kiss her on the lips.

I was on the edge of the stool at this point, my mouth hanging open. "What the hell?" And with one slick move I tipped the stool to the side and toppled to the ground.

"Sara! Are you okay?" I heard Tanya yell from above the counter.

I slowly brought my self up and looked at the two who were still in close distance of each other. "I'm f-fine" I said as I straightened myself up. Gradually, a grin formed on my face.

"What's with you?" Tanya asked as she continued to swish whatever was in the pan.

I just stared at her and took in the surroundings around me. Everything seemed to be normal. I wasn't sure how much had changed.

"So where's Carlisle and the others?" I asked, turning back to Edward and Tanya.

"What do you mean? They haven't been up here for years" Tanya said, raising an eyebrow. She turned to Edward and kissed him on the cheek. Something felt uneasy and I could tell by the fact that Edward seemed to cringe after Tanya had kissed him.

"Y-years?" I shuddered.

"Sara, quit it. You know Edward doesn't like talking about it" Tanya said, rubbing her hand to Edward's shoulder.

Edward cleared his throat and then went through the living room, and up the stairs. Tanya sighed and then started to chop something on a wooden board.

"Where's Kate and Irina?" I asked, trying to break the silence.

"Kate's out hunting and Irina is with Laurent somewhere" Tanya exclaimed, as she watched the television intently.

"Laurent is still here?" I asked. I thought he left by now.

"Yeah, of course. Him and Irina are married. Are you feeling all right?" Tanya asked, glancing at me and then looking back at her show. "Oh and his friends James and Victoria left this morning, so I was hoping you could clean up their room."

"James and Victoria. Who the hell are they?" I asked, holding myself against the counter this time.

Tanya looked at me incredulously and sighed, "Just go upstairs and clean the room"

I tapped my finger nails on the counter, trying to take in everything. After a second I turned around and climbed up the stairs. I walked down the hall to the room that looked disorderedly and unfamiliar. "Guess this is their room" I looked around and examined the mess they made, "Pigs" I muttered.

I heard something down the hall; where Tanya's room was. I slowly crept towards her room and saw a huge king sized bed in the center of the room and more dressers then usual.

Edward was inside her room, digging through the closest and pulled out a dressy shirt. "May I help you?" he said turning towards the door.

I took a second to answer, I didn't know where to start. "So you and Tanya are…dating?" I said, struggling for the last word.

Edward narrowed his eyes and turned back to the bed, where he laid out his clothes. "Are you on something?" he seemed to have smirked.

"So—" I began.

"I mean you are the one who told me marry her in the first place." Edward growled and continued to dig through the closest.

There was a thudding in my head and I leaned against the doorframe to hold myself. I groaned and then I plopped to the floor.

My memories flooded back to when I was with Edward in the clearing.

:Flashback:

"You will ruin your existence if you go there. Stay here and marry Tanya. That'll be your best bet." I exclaimed.

*Back in Tanya's house*

Edward goes up to Tanya and holds onto her hand and reaches down to slowly kiss her.

*Days later*

"Carlisle, I'm not leaving…" Edward exclaimed as Carlisle waited in his car with Esme, Rosalie, and the human who was mauled by the bear, who was now fully a vampire.

*In Tanya's backyard*

"I do" Tanya's face was glowing. She was dressed in a white wedding dress, and her strawberry blonde hair was engulfed in a white long veil.

*Back in my room*

"Sara, you've stayed here for a long time now. I think you are welcomed to live here from now on" Tanya said, as she wrapped her arm around Edward and stood by my door.

:End of Flashback:

"Sara! Sara! Are you alright?" Edward said as he shook my shoulders.

I stared up at him. I was now laying on something soft. I felt around me and I knew that I was lying on his huge bed. I sat up and chuckled a little bit. It worked.

"What the hell just happened?" Edward exclaimed, his voice becoming louder.

"My head was hurting. Sorry if I scared you" I said, scratching the back of my head.

Edward sighed and rolled his eyes, "You're unbelievable" he then crouched under his bed and pulled out a pair of shoes.

"So tell me. Are you happy?" I chimed, bouncing a bit.

"Sure" he said, taking a tie from his dresser and looking himself in the mirror.

I nodded and then around the room. It looked roomier without Tanya's belongings everywhere. It seemed like the room was divided, half was Edward's things and the other side was Tanya's.

"Are you guys going somewhere?" I asked, watching as he examined his picked-out outfit.

"I am" he said distinctively.

"Oh cool" I nodded. "You look like you're going somewhere fancy"

"Of course, where else would I take Jeanette? Some run-down restaurant?" he chuckled.

"Jeanette? Who's that?" I asked, my eyes popping out a little from the surprise.

"You're my best friend and you don't remember who I got out with? I thought you were keeping track?" Edward exclaimed, raising an eyebrow.

"B-Best friend?" I stuttered and then looked to the ground, as if I'd find my answer there. I guess with his family being gone and me helping him out, along those times I became close to him.

Edward grimaced. I forgot he could read my mind.

Edward began searching for something in one of his drawers and pulled out a notepad and tossed it to me.

I opened it and there were pages among pages of girls' names. I thought my eyes were going to pop out of their socket. I was so confused.

"You're cheating on Tanya?" I spoke slowly.

"Sara, didn't we have this conversation before?" Edward said, rolling his eyes and he took off his shirt and put on the one he recently picked out.

"You're cheating on Tanya?!" I spoke more loudly, hoping she heard me from downstairs.

"Keep it down! Luckily she left to go find more vegetables for that disgusting meal she's making, but do you want her to hear you all the way from the grocery store?" Edward grumbled.

"Edward! How could you?" I was in total shock. This wasn't what I wanted to happen.

"I love her but I'm not in love with her" Edward said, putting on his tie. "Carlisle warned me, but I listened to you and here I am."

"Oh no" I groaned. I buried my face in my hands, "This is all my fault"

"Don't worry about it. I'm not mad, you were just trying to help, right? And besides I am happy. I do spend time with Tanya and then I get out and have my own fun." Edward half heartedly smiled.

"All my fault!" I continued to groan.

I heard Edward sigh and something fell on my lap. I looked down and saw a photo of Carlisle and the other Cullens.

"Carlisle sent that to me a while ago. New family members" Edward exclaimed. On the back of the photo were the names of everyone by order. They stood in front of a huge white house surrounded by trees.

"Alice and Jasper are the new ones. I'm sure you remember Emmett and Rosalie before they left here, and of course Esme and Carlisle" Edward said, pointing at the faces as he said their names.

"Pretty house" I said, looking back up at him and handing back the picture.

"Yeah. They live in Forks now" Edward said placing the photo back in his drawer.

"Forks?" I muttered. She's there.

"Who's she?"

"Nevermind…so have you visited them over there?"

"Yeah right" Edward scoffed.

"Oh so…you haven't?" I asked.

"Me and Carlisle haven't spoken in a long time. Other then him sending my ridiculous letters, I haven't really kept in contact with him."

"Why not? You two were closer then ever…" I mumbled, shocked at what I was hearing.

"He was getting on my nerves about Tanya. He told me to wait and not rush into things. It's like he didn't believe I was making the right choice. But I think I did. I mean I made Tanya happy, and even though her and I aren't the closest of all married couples, I'm happy too." He exclaimed.

This is unlike Edward. From what Tanya told me, Edward and Carlisle are more then just father and son, they are like blood brothers. What's gotten into him?

"Can we stop talking about them?" he growled as he began to brush his fingers through his hair as he checked himself in the mirror.

"Have you always been so vain?" I chuckled. Pretty sure he never acted like that before.

"Always" he winked and then looked out the window.

"All right, it's about to be sun down. I gotta go pick up Jeanette. Tell Tanya I went to go hang out with the boys" Edward said, opening his window.

"Boys? Who're the boys?" I asked. Edward ignored me and jumped out the window.

I stared at the window, it was like I was hypnotized. "What did I do…"
