Jack came back from work later on that day. I watched him from my room, enter the living room.

Quickly I ran down the stairs and entered the living room. Everyone was sitting there. They looked up when I entered.

"I was wondering, if, maybe, I could see some more of my photos. Maybe it would help me remember my life before my…accident."

"Her accident? You told her?" Andrew asked sharply.

Emma replied. "Yes. I told her how the Volturi attacked her."

"Oh, the Volturi. Right."

I watched this exchange between Andrew and Emma. Why did they keep stressing on the word Volturi?

"So…the photos?" I repeated.

"Uh…" Alison said. Everyone looked at her, encouraging her to say something.

She looked at Jack.

"Umm…oh right. Well, don't strain your mind too much, trying to remember. Gradually it will all come back to you." Jack said.

"But I…"

"Wait." Andrew interrupted.

Jack glared at him, when he thought I wasn't looking.

"No, it's okay. If Bella wants to see some photos, we'll show her some photos."

"What…photos?" Rebecca asked. "I mean, there are so many choices. We've already showed her the wedding photos."

"One second." Andrew said, before racing up the stairs.

He returned in two minutes, carrying a photo album.

"This is from just after Mia was born. When you had just turned into a vampire."

He handed me the album.

I sat down, and flipped it open.

The first picture showed me, holding a tiny baby, in my arms, and Jack standing there, with his arm around my shoulder.

I flicked through the pages, quickly, all of them showing me with Mia, or Jack, or the rest of the family.

"Show us too." Harry said.

They all gathered around me, looking at the photos, and adding comments, such as, "Oh, I remember that!"

I frowned. If they were there, why did they want to see the photos? And why were they acting so surprised? I was sure these people were lying.

They had stolen my identity, and deceived me.

But now it was my turn to deceive them. I was sure they believed me when I said I remembered them, just not my life. They'd also stopped giving me those pills.

I decided to ask some more questions about my accident. Katie had said that I was alone when my accident happened; I wanted to see what they would say.

"You know, when I got attacked? Was I alone?"

I felt everyone freeze, when I brought up the topic of my accident again.

Alison spoke first, this time.

"Well, we don't really like to think about it…it was an awful day. But since you're asking, then yes, Jack was with you. You were both going to hunt, when they jumped out, and attacked you. Luckily Jack wasn't hurt that bad, but unfortunately, you were…"

More proof they were lying. Katie had said I was alone, yet they said Jack was with me!

We flicked through the rest of the album, but I had stopped paying attention.

I was thinking.

I went upstairs to my room, and sat on the bed, deep in thought. Most of the pieces of the puzzle were coming out; I just needed to fit them together.

I knew they were lying to me, but why? What would they gain from keeping me from my family? Just then I heard footsteps from downstairs.

Who was there? I came out from my room, and looked down from the balcony.

Katie was walking across the living room, trying to be as quiet as possible.

She kept looking around, as if she was checking nobody was following her. She looked up, and I quickly hid behind one of the chairs.

I heard her come up the stairs, and walk in the direction away from me. As quietly as I could manage, I followed her.

She walked to this room, I hadn't seen before and unlocked it.

Why was this room locked? What was inside?

She went inside, and I tried to look into the room, but she'd closed the door behind her.

I waited until I heard her come out. She was carrying a pink dress.

She froze in shock when she saw me.

"Bella? What are you doing here?"

She quickly turned around and locked the door.

"What's that room? Why is it locked?" I asked her suspiciously.

"What? Oh…that room? It's…a…uh…storeroom!"

I frowned. I didn't believe her.

"Who's dress is that?" I asked, pointing at the pink dress in her arms.

"This? It's…Becca's dress."

"Rebecca's?"

She nodded quickly.

"I need to go now." She hurried left.

Again, I followed her.

She went to Rebecca's room. I hid next to the window, listening to them.

"Here's the dress, Miss Rebecca."

"Thank you Katie. Now I'll show that Stephenie that I have nice dresses too."

"Oh, also, when I was leaving, Bella saw me go into the room."

I heard Rebecca gasp.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing at all. I just told her it was a storeroom." Katie answered immediately.

Rebecca sighed with relief.

"You can go now."

I heard Katie leave.

I was about to go back to my room, when I heard a new voice. It was Emma.

"What's going on?"

"Emma? I…uh…"

I heard Emma take the dress from Rebecca.

"We've all told you not to go into that room! You know how much that room means to Jack! And you know how much this dress means to him! He even goes to that room every night!"

"What?" Rebecca asked, shocked.

"Yes! I found him there the other day."

Emma then took the key from Rebecca and left the room.

I heard Rebecca sigh, before I followed Emma.

She put the dress back, locked the room, and hung the key back inside her bedroom.

I knew what I had to do.

.**.

Later that night, when I was sure everyone was in the living room watching TV, I slipped into Emma's bedroom.

I quietly took the key, and fled to the secret room. What was inside here that was so important? Why did they lock this room, but none of the others? I was soon going to find out.

I unlocked the door and went inside. The room seemed like it hadn't been opened in ages, but Emma had said that Jack went there every night. That reminded me. I better hurry up.

There were cobwebs everywhere. It seemed like a bedroom, as it had a huge bed right in the middle. There was a wardrobe next to it. I went over and opened it. Just then I heard footsteps coming towards this room.

I peeked out, and saw Jack.

I walked slowly towards the…room. It hurt my heart to just think about it, but it was hurting less and less recently.

Was I forgetting…her? Or was I falling for…Bella? I could never tell anyone this, but seeing Andrew's cruelty towards her, made me feel…protective about her.

And now that she thought she was remembering…maybe it meant that she might forget Edward, and just care about me?

I was brought out of my thoughts when I realised that the room was open. I became angry at once.

Who had left the door open? I pushed the door open and went inside.

Sitting on the bed was…her. She was wearing the same pink dress she had worn on our anniversary.

In a daze I walked towards her, and put my hand on her shoulder.

She turned around, and I saw…Bella.

I pulled my hand back immediately.

"You? What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here!" I said, angrily.

"Who's room is this?"

I ignored her questions, instead asking one of my own.

"Why are you wearing that dress? Where did you get it from?"

"Is this…my room?" She asked.

"Uhh…yes." I said, relieved that I didn't have to think of a lie.

"So is this my dress?" She continued.

I nodded.

"Then why are you so upset about me wearing this dress?" She asked.

"Because…because you shouldn't be here! This room was locked! How did you get in?"

She looked me in the eye.

I was still getting over the shock of finding her here…wearing…that dress.

"Leave now! And take that dress off!"

She nodded, and left the room.

BPOV

Why did Jack get so panicked when he saw me wearing that dress? And if they were all my dresses then why were they in that dusty room? Why weren't they in my wardrobe?

I was getting more and more convinced that they were lying to me. I just needed to find out the truth.

They had stolen my identity and were trying to deceive me. Now it was my turn.

I sank down onto the bed. If Edward was with me, he would have been able to get me out of here immediately.

Why hadn't he recognised me when I went back to my house? Had they got to him too? Was he…even alive?

I shook my head fiercely.

Of course he's alive! Where are you Edward?

Nessie was crying again. I hugged her to me, and tried to cheer her up.

She reached out and touched my face. Bella's face flashed in front of my eyes. I sighed.

It wasn't a surprise. Since Bella had gone missing, all Nessie wanted was her mother.

"She'll come back, I promise."

Nessie touched me again. She was asking when.

"I don't know when."

Esme put her arm around me.

"She'll be fine. She knows how to take care of herself."

Emmett hit the wall in frustration.

"How long can Jane keep us locked up in here?"

"She's changed everything." Alice said. "We can't break through the walls or the windows. And if we do, she'll just torture us."

Jane had made our lives hell. Felix and Alec had come to join her, and they were all living in our house, relaxing.

Just then the door opened. Jane walked in briskly.

"Speak of the devil…" Alice murmured.

Jane ignored her.

Though the door was open, none of us made a break for it.

We'd tried that. Emmett was the first one to try it, he was fast, but Jane was faster, and he was on the floor writhing in 2 seconds.

She looked at all of us, and smiled.

"Where's Bella?" I asked fiercely.

"Oh I have a few of my friends looking after her. You know she came here a few days ago…"

"She was…here?"

"Oh yes, it was quite a surprise. Not really, we were expecting her. Unfortunately she left here, quite a bit sadder."

"Did you hurt her?" I snarled.

"She didn't. Because her 'gift' doesn't work on Bella, right Jane?" Alice interrupted smoothly.

Jane glared for the first time.

"Anyway, my friend Alexander opened the door."

Carlisle sighed, and I read his thoughts.

He knew this Alexander.

A man with my face walked in.

Carlisle spoke first.

"Alexander has the ability to morph his face into anyone's face."

"He wasn't very nice to Bella, so she left in tears, thinking it was Edward. Quite clever, right?" Jane giggled.

No one replied.

"Well, nice talking to you."

They left the room.

I sighed.

Where are you Bella?"
