Dedication List

Tsaga99- Yeah, I had coffee that day, and uh... I was tired... so... yeah... don't judge me. Your awesome! And by the way, you sent A LOT of very's in your review. You must have wanted this chapter to be up *loud inhale* very very very very very soon.

Q: what do you mean by stones A: So you know that the Cullens are supposed to be hard as marble and smell good? Well that's what I meant. Plus, it's in the little story that Lindsey told them. Anyway, in the story that Lindsey told she said that their skin is hard. But don't worry I'm not using that term, stones, in this chapter I'm done with it.

DISCLAIMER TIME! (This is SUCH a crazy disclaimer, you should skip it if you don't want to be scarred for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!)

*Carlisle's reading a book in chair in corner when Esme walks in. She sits on arm of the chair that Carlisle's sitting on and leans down to his ear slowly*

Esme: Carlisle...

Carlisle: Yes, dear?

Esme: Do you know who DOESN'T own Twilight?

Carlisle: Who?

Esme: CICI DOES! *and they party for the rest of the night* The end

Bella's POV

I contemplated telling Edward about us. Thinking on telling him after school, the whole way to the office where my sisters were there waiting for me. Edward spoke up behind me.

"Hey, Isabella, my sister needs me for a second. I'll be right back," he walked away with a troubled look on his face.

Edward's POV

Edward's in trouble, Edward's in trouble, Edward's in trouble, Edward's in trouble, Edward's in trouble... was the only thing that Alice was thinking by the time I got to her.

Edward! Alice screamed in her head. Jasper could feel how tense Alice was and tried to calm her down with little success. I think those new girls are the cause of my vision-blocks! I see you walking towards a Silver Dodge Viper, someone comes out, and then people come out and the vision stops! Then I see it happening right before me and the people turned out to be them! What if they're not human!?

Yes! That would make sense! I can't read their minds, I can't hear a heart beat, and we can't smell any blood on them. But they can't be vampires because they're eyes are blue. At vampire speed I said this to her.

"What happened to Rosalie and Emmett?" I asked. Jasper snickered and thought, They were both pretty stressed so they decided to make out somewhere. I growled. That was disgusting. To do it at school, they were probably in the forest somewhere. I leaned into Alice, "We need to learn more about these girls. After school maybe we can talk to them. Carlisle might know about them," and leaned back away from her. I wanted to get to know Isabella more than just that she loves to swim, and Alice nodded in agreement to meeting them after school. We entered the school minutes before the bell rang.

Bella's POV

I waited for Edward to come back but he never did. If I waited for him any longer I would be late for class. I almost thought he forgot about me but I decided to not think anything of it. I don't know why it affected me so much anyway.

I was walking down the halls by myself. I was beginning to feel self-conscious. Without my tail, Tick, or anyone by my side, I felt almost vulnerable. I was practically lost. I had no idea where to go and I only have a faint memory of reading English, seeing that I lived under the waters of Europe. Only a few students were left in the hall and they were all in a rush only stopping to stare at my face and body.

I looked down to my schedule and map. Why can't they just all be in one building? Algebra was my first class and I was late by the time I got into the classroom.

Alice's POV

Stupid new girls, stupid I-have-super-powers-that-no-one-knows-about, non-human-ness! And stupid teacher Mrs. Meier having a strict boy sit by boy and girl sit by girl rule! I thought as I angrily crossed my arms and leaned into my seat as a scent came over me that was so familiar and comforting, and yet, so unlike Jasper's I almost didn't want it. Jasper was the only thing I knew about home and comfort, but now the scent was almost... welcome. One of the new girls walked in. I was suddenly very lonely without Jasper by my side. He was right in front of me and I was sitting by myself. Though I thought I was cute, no human wanted to sit by me which gave me another sense of loneliness. Jasper tried to comfort it, but I can still feel the wistful feeling tickling the back of my heart.

She got her slip signed and Mrs. Meier introduced her.

"This is Isabella Swan, class," she called. Isabella smiled and her blue eyes twinkled with sadness as she saw me and Jasper. Something about her name snapped something in my brain and I remembered something from my childhood.

Alice's Memory

I was playing with my toy dragon and favorite doll. She was supposed to be the Alice in Alice in Wonderland, but the nanny here dyed her hair black so she would look like me. I wasn't paying attention to the two nanny's in the corner talking, but I could still hear their conversation about me.

"She's not natural! No one is going to adopt her! I'm sorry Amy, we're going to have to let her go," said one of them.

"She's not unnatural! She has a gift from God! She's special, and think of her when she's older. If her predictions are correct, then our orphanage's financial problems will be solved! Already the children have been leaving us faster. We can give them a better childhood with her help! Please! Please let her stay! I beg you!" There was silence, and they walked towards the door to finish speaking outside. I started to play out their decision with my toys. My hands moved automatically, and my mouth said words I didn't know existed.

"No Amy. We're cannot keep her here."

"Why not? She can help us!"

"We don't want our orphanage's reputations to be that we keep crazy children here for anybody who is interested!" The Alice doll walked away.

The memory finished just as Isabella sat next to me. I panicked and quickly plastered my best smile on my face. Mrs. Meier started the lecture while I tried to rewrite the memory to give it to Jasper. I folded the paper, and at vampire speed, gave it to Jasper so no one would see me move. Isabella looked at me quizzically as if she saw the entire thing. How? I was much to fast for anyone to be able to see me. She started to write in her notebook and slightly passed it over to me.

Our families need to have a talk. I know that your family is different.

-Isabella

Yes.

Was my simple reply. Before I knew it, the bell rang and Isabella darted out of the classroom only to bump into Edward and start up a conversation as they walked to who knows what.

"Jasper, we're meeting their family after school today. You tell Emmett and I'll tell Rose," His next class was with Emmett anyway, and Rose needed to go to her locker before class. We didn't need to tell Edward because he would probably know by lunch. We exited our classroom together and parted to tell our sibling about the plan.

Bella's POV

At lunch time

My sisters and I stood at the outside entrance to the cafeteria after I had told them plan after school. We didn't know if we should just wait in the car or just sit around the lunch room. And if we did go in, would we sit with the Cullens or by ourselves?

Lindsey was looking into our future to see which was the better decision.

"Okay," she said, "I'm staying in the car to keep all of those drooling, teenaged mongrels away from it. Katie, Isabella, and Misi, you guys are going inside," she was already walking towards her teenager infested Dodge Viper. Lindsey took a bull horn out of her gigantic brown leather purse and screamed playfully into it, "Hey you motha-fucking bitches, get away from my car!" Almost immediately a booming laughter came from the cafeteria along with the most amazing chuckle. Though the entire cafeteria was laughing, when I entered it, everyone quieted simultaneously. Until, the biggest Cullen snickered before erupting with laughter again. Misi and Katie smiled shyly while I walked to the refrigerator to get three bottles of water.

This was aggravating. Everyone was staring at us. I turned around unexpectedly and glared at every single head in the lunch room that was looking at us. The biggest Cullen continued with his laughter. I approached Edward and the rest of his... family?

"Hello, Edward. May we sit with you?" I asked, only looking at him. The table was to small, so we pulled two together. When we sat down, Misi and Katie introduced themselves with our back up story, saying that they were twins. Finally it was my turn to introduce myself.

"Hi, I'm Emmett! Who was the chic out there? She's hilarious!" Emmett put a smile to my face.

"That was just Lindsey, she loves her car and will kill anyone who touches it," Katie exclaimed.

"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan. That was my cousin, Lindsey out there," I politely reached my hand out to the beautiful blond. Though she was beautiful, Lindsey still won by a mile. She glared at me.

"You're supposed to shake my hand," I said, covering up my temper with humor. This seemed to anger her more and she resisted. Emmett took the blonde's hand and put it in mine, and she did not swipe it back. He began to talk in a failure of a girl's voice with a southern accent in it, "Hi, I'm Rosalie Hale. And ova thair, that is ma twin brotha, Jaspa Hale! It is so nice, to meet, you," I wondered if that is how she really spoke. Though angry with her, I held my hand out to Jasper.

"Isabella," I said, not trusting myself to keep my composure much longer.

"Jasper Hale, pleasure to-" Jasper began before Emmett cut him off.

"Can't we just call you, Bella?" He complained.

"Of course! I love it!" I exclaimed, suddenly calmer. I relaxed a bit and decided to sip on my water. While they chatted, I kept sipping. It tasted awful, but water is water! Occasionally, Edward would glance at me and I'd look up from my plastic bottle to catch him looking. I kept what Lindsey told me about them two nights earlier and made a mental checklist. There was supposed to be seven of them, but there were only five here. This troubled me. I could tell that their skin was different, they were definitely beautiful, they do have golden eyes.

How could I tell if they were immortal? I could tell that they did drink blood, and only blood it seems, for they were not eating the food or drinking their beverages that lay on their trays. People started to turn their heads, and I turned my head, too. I found that everyone was staring at the small girl named Alice. She was small, short and had dark hair...

Alice, my daughter was named Alice, I missed her so much!

I abruptly stood up and clutching my water bottle tightly, I ran off to find my locker with my bag over my shoulder. I wasn't surprised to see Misi running after me and Katie close behind as I stood just outside the hallway of my locker.

I was whimpering and trying not to sob when I couldn't take it any longer and I began to cry a tearless sob. Misi began to whimper also, for she hated it when people cried. What made it worse is that she knows what it feels like to lose someone you love. She became a mermaid and never saw her sister again. I began to giggle hysterically at her. Instinctly wiping my eyes though I didn't need to.

"Why-why are you-u laughing at me?" She desperately tried to control her cries.

"You're so silly. Crying when you're not the one who deserves it," I responded. I examined my sleeves, as I wistfully thought of my missing daughter.

"But you don't deserve it," Katie grumbled. The bell rang and I was off to Biology after giving a hug to Misi and Katie.

Man, for this chapter all I could've have said was "Hey Edward, we're going over to your house after school. See ya there sucker!"

Don't forget to say 'Post Name' at the end of your review so you can have your name on the Dedication List posted before each chapter! AND DON'T FORGET TO ASK QUESTIONS! I'm all for your questions, I would just despise it if you held back your questions from me because you thought, 'Oh no, Cici probably is way too stressed to answer my questions. She'll be annoyed by me if I asked her anything and she won't love me anymore!' Well your dead wrong. In fact, your questions actually make me happier like a little pixie playing with a hummingbird!

BE WEIRD! STAY WEIRD! STAND OUT!
