Disclaimer: Do not own Twilight or the idea of the Butterfly Effect


I went back to my room and collapsed on the couch. I stared out my window. The cracks, the hole…it's not there! I began to sit up slowly but then my mind flooded back to Edward and I slumped back down.

"Everything's so different. Edward became a slimy cheat, he hasn't talked to his family in years, and worst of all he's not even happily in love." I groaned.

I covered my face with my forearm and sighed. I wonder how his human is doing.

Then I shot up. The girl! As long as I saved somebody's love life then I did a good deed, right?

"All I gotta do is go to Forks and find her" I said, talking to myself.

"Crud, what was her name…Betty? No. Bailey? Nah. Mary?! Ugh. I don't remember…" I argued with myself. I closed my eyes and rested my head against my knees. Think Sara, think. Tanya told me this before.

:Flashback:

"So the Cullens are coming to visit" Tanya exclaimed, as she leaned against my door.

I was on the floor, staring through my window; ignoring the cracks in the way of my view. "Who?"

"The Cullens. I told you about them before. They're like family." Tanya exclaimed. I continued to stare out the window not acknowledging Tanya. "So anyway, they're going to stay for awhile."

"Why?"

"Uhm well, one of them got involved with a human." Tanya paused and then chuckled, "Sound familiar?"

I smirked and then turned around to look at her, "So they're bringing it here?"

"No. Edward, ended the relationship with Bella"

:End of Flashback:

"BELLA!" I shouted.

"Is everything all right up there?" I heard Tanya call from downstairs.

She's home. Crud, now sneaking out is going to be harder.

I skidded down the stairs and ran into the kitchen where I knew I'd find Tanya. To my surprise she wasn't there though. "Looking for something?" her voice came from behind me.

I swerved around, "I'm going to go on a little road trip" I said rather quickly, that the words slurred out of my mouth.

"To where?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Forks" I smiled and then jogged to the front door.

"Sarafina! You better not convince the Cullens to come over here! You know Edward would go ape nuts if you did!" she shouted.

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry I won't" I called back and ran out the door. I looked around and saw new cars parked in front of the house.

"Uhm…" I didn't know which one was mine, if any were.

I heard a jingle from my right pocket and found a pair of car keys. How convenient.

I pressed the alarm and looked for the car who's headlights blinked. I heard the beep and my eyes landed on the black Pontiac G6.

"Sweet" I grinned and then jumped in. "Forks, here I come"

000000000000

It took about a day to get to Forks, mostly because there was traffic on the way. I looked around to find the date. It was May 2, 2003.

As I drove down the highway to Forks, I got a weird vibe coming from a break in the woods. I got the scent of Carlisle and I figured that his house was somewhere through there. I decided not to go visit until after I was done checking up on Blair—I mean Bella.

I drove down the road to the quiet town of Forks. It was a homey town with about three thousand residents. It was cloudy and humid out, it looked like it would pour any minute. I looked at the time; 2:59pm.

"Okay, so school should be out by now, right?" I said to myself. I found the town's high school and parked in the parking lot, hoping I wouldn't be moved since I'm not a student here.

I lowered the windows and slumped back in my seat. It doesn't help that I don't know how she looks like so I'll just wait until I hear her name or something. I turned off the engine and waited.

I looked at the clock every few seconds. It was 3:01 and students began to flood the parking lot. Some stared at my car in awe and continued to keep walking.

3:20PM. Ugh where is she?! Did I miss her or something?

"Hey Bella" a female voice called out. I turned quicker then I had planned to, causing my seat to make a strange crack. Across from where my car was parked, I saw a brunette haired girl waving at someone. The girl was surrounded by other students and one particular blonde haired boy at her side.

Then the girl she was calling to suddenly came into view. She had chocolate brown hair and pale white skin. She looked a bit awkward and she kept staring down at her feet.

"This is Bella?" I asked, dumbfounded. "How did Edward fall for her?"

The girl came up to the others and a small smile came to her face. "Arizona, you want to come to La Push this weekend? There's going to be a bonfire" the blonde haired boy stated.

"Ah, I don't know. I think I might have plans this weekend" The girl mumbled. Thank goodness for super hearing.

Suddenly the blonde haired boy stared at my car. I turned around hastily, hoping he didn't see me staring.

"Wait where are you going?" I heard a voice call out. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw Bella walk away.

"Home" she called out and headed towards a red beat up truck.

The group of kids suddenly scattered and soon cars began to pull out. I looked around to see if Bella's car was one of the ones that got out. I needed to get more information if she was happy or not. She seemed to have friends at school so she couldn't be feeling upset at all.

I turned on the engine and began to back out. I suddenly stopped after seeing Bella's car still in it's parking spot. Now's a better chance then ever.

I rolled up my windows and turned off the engine and got out of the car. I casually walked passed Bella's truck. I heard a muffling sound coming from inside the truck. I took a quick peek and saw her face buried in her hands.

"Are you okay?" I asked abruptly.

I then covered my mouth. I wasn't supposed to talk to her! Damn Sarafina, can you be anymore retarded?

Bella flinched and turned to me swiftly. She looked like she had been crying, her eyes were strained red. She wiped the tip of her eyes and nodded at me.

I didn't budge. I should've moved and kept on walking but she was finally in front of me. I couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe how well I could control myself around a human this close. I wasn't sure how much I changed in the past, so I didn't know how well I could control myself now. Maybe I was fine because her window was shut and I couldn't get her scent that well.

Then just as if she wanted to test me, she rolled down her window. A breeze passed by and I got the full aroma of her human self. I shuddered a bit, but then I started to think of Giacomo. Just thinking about him made me forget about her scent.

"Are you lost?" Bella asked. She didn't sound snotty, her tone sounded curious.

"Uhm, no I was just passing by and I noticed you looked upset..." I exclaimed. Crud, she's upset too. This doesn't look so good.

"I'm fine" she assured me, but I didn't buy it.

"So, do you like school?" I asked casually, trying to get answers from her.

Bella looked at me oddly and then nodded slowly, "Well I just moved here a few months ago so I'm still kind of like the new girl"

"Ah, so you must be getting a lot of attention? Happy, huh?" I smiled. She has to be happy. C'mon having everyone notice her, she's bound to have a lot of friends and guys going after her.

Bella shook her head, "I don't really like having the attention on me"

"But I bet you have a boyfriend! Right?" My smile became wider, trying to get a sense that she was happy.

Bella shook her head again, "No"

I lowered my head and cussed under my breath. "So what grade are you in? I'm not sure I've seen you here for the passed couple of months" Bella said.

"Oh. Uhm. I'm in the 12th?" It sounded more like a question then an answer. I grinned and waited for her to respond.

"Oh" she simply said. "Well…I better get going" I knew that me staring at her was making her feel awkward.

"Wait!" I called out before she could roll up her window. I needed to know for sure if she was happy. I didn't come change the past and come all the way out here for nothing!

"Bella, are you happy?" I asked flat out.

She looked at me oddly and then looked down at the steering wheel. She chuckled softly, "You know, no one's really asked me that since I've moved here…"

I leaned in closer, waiting for the magic words.

Bella turned towards me, tears forming in her eyes but she blinked them back, "No, I'm not"

I groaned and covered my face with my hands.

"What's wrong?" she asked abruptly.

"Everything" I snarled and then paced back to my car.

"Wait!" she called back out from her window, "How did you know my name?" she shouted.

I bit my bottom lip and just continued towards my car. I got inside and sped off before she could follow me, just in case.

"Damnit! Why the hell when I try doing something right, it ends up going terribly wrong?!" I continued to curse out loud in the privacy of my own car.

I decided to go visit Carlisle like I had told myself before. I drove through the weird pathway to his house and in just a few seconds I reached the front of the house. I listened closely but heard nothing. I wonder where they are.

I got out of the car and hopped up on the trunk. I laid down and waited for them to notice me in front of their house. This is just great. I messed up Edward and Bella's life. Well, Edward can manage but Bella…she looked so distraught.

I turned to look inside my car and saw something that caught my eye quickly. A composition book.

I hopped down and opened the back door and found my journal laid out in the back seat. I savagely took the book and hugged it close to my chest.

Perfect. I know what I can do now. I can go back and fix Bella's life. I can go to when she was young and make sure she stays wherever she was before she moved here. It seems she became upset when she got here. Maybe if I stop her from moving she'll be better off.

I thought mathematically in my head. Okay she's about 16-17 now so if we got back a few years…I flipped open the book and got to year of 1992.

"I gotta find where she used to live before she moved here…" I said to myself, I tapped my index finger on my chin. "Her school should have that sort of stuff"

I got into the car, threw the composition book to the passenger seat, and drove back to her high school. I snuck into the general office, my journal in my hands. I looked into the students' file cabinet, I knew I shouldn't have but somehow my hands fell upon the Cullen files.

"Alice Cullen. Emmett Cullen" I read as I took out the folders. "Where's Rosalie and Jasper? They don't go to school or something?" I put the folders back and continued looking for Bella's name. It didn't help that I didn't know her last name either.

Aha! I found Rosalie and Jasper's file. Okay, so it's not Bella but I was looking for them before… I contemplated to myself. They were under the surname 'Hale'. "That's strange" I said as I put their files back. I continued searching when I came across the name 'Isabella Swan'"

Well, this is the only name that has 'Bella' in it. I opened the folder and saw that she was a transfer student from Phoenix, Arizona. Bingo!

I flipped through the pages and found the year of 1992. Okay so Bella should be like a young teenager, right? Whatever, math isn't my strong point and I have no time to whip out a calculator.

I opened the book and read a passage from 1992. I grimaced at what I wrote but then I read it aloud.

Edward and Tanya were in their rooms. It wasn't particularly quiet so I knew what was going on. I shut my door and blasted the radio to block out the noise. Unfortunately my mind wasn't distracted and I couldn't run away from the sound—

I woke up, my head thudding slightly. I quickly got up and ran to the computer that was in the front room. I looked up when the next flight to Phoenix.
