Chapter 6

Hey! So I changed the plot a little. The setting is a little bit before 1x21 before Isobel comes. I don't believe it will confuse the storyline though. I just wanted you all to know what's happening.

Elena stood in shock, as she saw the girl who she trusted more than anyone-even Bonnie and Stefan-standing right in front of her. She blinked her eyes a couple times to make sure she wasn't seeing things. Of course, as usual, Bella could tell what she was thinking.

"Elena, I'm not a ghost. I really am here," Bella said amused as she walked closer to Elena until she was a few feet away from her.

Unbeknown to Elena, Stefan squirmed uncomfortable behind her as he looked curiously at Bella. He could see that she was very beautiful, but the resemblance she had with Elena was remarkable. He could notice that though Elena was an inch or so taller, and that the hair color was slightly different, they did look alike. It was in the nose, the shape of eyes, and the color of their pale skin, but also in the way they both smiled. It was genuine and no malicious intentions behind it. He looked to Damon to see if he noticed, and he saw Damon shrug at him before he looked at the girls. Ah, so he noticed to, but didn't know why.

Elena, oblivious to Stefan's musings, smiled at Bella. "Observant as always. I see that hasn't changed." She walked up to Bella, and wrapped her arms around her. Elena could feel Bella's posture relax as she felt her arms wrap around her, too. "I have missed you so much," Elena whispered in her ear.

"So have I. There is much I need to discuss with you," Bella said as she let go of Elena.

Elena nodded. "Okay. Let's talk here. I need to tell you something as well," she said as she pulled on Bella's hand and led her to the couch, where Damon was sitting. "Is it okay if Damon and Stefan stay too? I want them here when I tell you what I need to tell you."

Bella let go of Elena's hand, and sat herself down where she was previously sitting-right next to Damon, who was looking excitedly at the two girls. She saw the boy, who she believed to be Elena's boyfriend, sit next to Elena who was sitting on the other couch across from the one she was sitting at. Bella, after getting her self seated, looked at her cousin, no sister, curious to what she wanted to say. "No, I don't mind. But how about you introduced me to the guy sitting next to you."

Elena's eyes widen as she looked down embarrassingly. "Right I forgot about that. Bella, this is Stefan Salvatore, my boyfriend. Stefan, this is my cousin Bella. And that's Damon, which I'm assuming you know. By the way, why are you here in Mystic Falls? Aunt Jenna said you were coming in the summer. Better yet, what are you doing here?"

Bella made herself comfortable on the couch, as she knew this was going to be a long discussion. "Well, I guess Aunt Jenna wanted to surprise you, as I am moving here to finish high school. I ran into Damon at the house, and he explained that you would be here, so he brought me here to see you. Well, enough of that. Elena, Aunt Jenna told me you know you're adopted."

Elena stiffened. "Yes, I am. I found out awhile back. What does this have to do with anything?"

"Charlie told me that I was adopted too," Bella said quietly, not meeting her sister's eyes. She waited for her to finish the puzzle.

Elena became silent. As she thought about what Bella said, and then she began to realize the pattern. They looked too much alike, same birthday, and both adopted. She gasped and looked Bella in the eye. "No way. Is it true?"

Bella nodded. Elena leaned back, still in shock of what she just found out. "Apparently we really should be careful of what we wish for huh?" Bella said amusingly, remembering how when they were little they would always wish they were twin sisters.

Elena smiled. "You're right. We always did want this, and now we found out it's true. But, gosh this is just so twisted!" Bella laughed in agreement.

They both started to laugh, realizing how twisted and amusing the situation was; both ignoring the curious and frustrated expressions of the Salvatore brothers sitting next to them. Finally, Damon got too frustrated and began to speak. "Wait a minute! What in the world is going on?"

Bella rolled her eyes at his impatience. "What this means, Damon, is Elena and I are sisters, twin sisters in fact. Apparently while my adopted parents Charlie, whose Jenna and Miranda's brother, and Renee were visiting here, a pregnant teenager named Isobel knocked on their door. Since Uncle Greyson (Elena's adopted dad) was a doctor, he was able to help Isobel give birth to Elena, and then me a little over an hour later. Isobel apparently left the next day. Our mothers had come so attached to us, they decided to keep us, and apparently never tell us that we were related."

Damon and Stefan, though shocked, were not surprised as they looked over the two girls. Both had similar looks, but slight differences in their faces. Both beautiful and kind. Even their smell was similar, but Bella's had more of a floral taste to it, while Elena's had more of fruity strawberry taste.

"Can't say I'm surprised," Damon said, while Stefan nodded in agreement.

"Well now that we're all at the same page, do you know who our father is Le-le?" Bella questioned.

Elena frowned as she said his name. "That would be our Uncle John. Apparently he and Isobel were together when they were young. Oh, and Jenna's dating Alaric, my History teacher who happens to be Isobel's ex-husband."

Bella smiled amusingly as she absorbed all the information Elena was telling her. Geez, her life could never be boring. Vampire as an ex, a werewolf as a best friend, and finding out her closest confidant/cousin was her twin sister. Could it get any worse? (AN Why yes it can Bella! XD haha) She inwardly laughed until she realized something. "Didn't you want to tell me something Elena?"

Elena looked down-avoiding her eyes-nervously. "Don't freak okay?"

Bella rose her eyebrows; now she was intrigued. "Okay," she said cautiously.

"Well, you see the thing is that….uhmm…how do I put this.." Elena just kept rambling on, not knowing how to say it that Damon was getting so annoyed with every word she spoke.

"Good grief Elena. Bella, what she is so trying hard to say is that Stefan and I are vampires," Damon said…very bluntly I might add.

"Damon!" Elena screeched looking at Bella worriedly.

"Jeez Damon. Must you always be blunt," Stefan said-annoyed at his brother's as usual speaking before thinking self. He also looked at Bella to see that her face was scrunched in confusion.

"How can you be vampires?" Bella said confused at what Damon just said.

Damon rolled his eyes. "We're vampires. Simple as that. You know vampires, who drink blood and stuff."

Bella shook her head. "I don't believe it. So either you can cut the joke as it's not-"

She was cut off as-at a inhuman speed-she was laying down on the couch she was sitting on with Damon on top of her, fangs out and eyes and the edge around it blackened. She gasped at the man…no vampire looming over her. She vaguely heard Elena's small scream of surprise as she was so enchanted by the one over her.

As if her hand a mind of its own, it reached to touch Damon's face. Damon looked at her in the eye, but Bella couldn't figure out the emotions in it them as she lightly traced the surrounding area of his eyes. Once her hand came in contact with his face the same warm electricity spread through her arm in a very nice way just like before when he caught her. She saw Damon's eyes close briefly and his lips twitched upward, so Bella assumed that he felt it too. When he opened his eyes again the dark and blackness in them was gone. They were its usual ice blue, so cold and expressionless-as if to hide the emotions within him. Bella felt a sharp pain of sadness go through her as she looked into the cold ice blue eyes. She vowed, right there, to, no matter how long, see these cold eyes become warm and filled with happy emotions in them.

The moment between them ended when, in a sudden, Damon was lifted off her and a crash was heard. She sat up on the couch in a daze to see Damon across from her against the wall sitting on the floor glaring at Stefan whose facing him-back to Bella. Elena rushed to Bella to help her off the couch. "You okay?" She asked worriedly.

Bella nodded, her gaze still on the brothers who were speaking very quietly to each other. But from the look on Damon's face, she could tell it wasn't a pleasant conversation. "That was uncalled for Damon," she heard Elena say beside her. Bella looked to her to see she was glaring Damon.

"Yes, it really was Damon," Stefan said as well. "You didn't have to go to such drastic measures to convince her of what we are. Once again you act before thinking."

Before another fight would occur, Bella decided to speak. "It's fine Stefan. But I don't get it. I've met vampires before. But they were so pale and hard like stone. And their eyes-" She wasn't able to finish that sentiment, as she was once again cut off this time, by Stefan.

"You've met cold ones before Bella?" Stefan said as he turned around to face her with disbelief on his face. Damon slowly got up from where he was sitting on the floor. He looked as if he was going to pounce Stefan as he was distracted, but decided against it. Instead he just leaned against the wall and looked at Bella curious for her answer.

"Yes I have. Actually I dated one. Why is-" Once again she was cut off, this time by Damon.

"You dated a cold one? They are even worse than us! They can barely control their blood lust! And I thought Elena was a magnet for danger. You practically jump into the arms of it. Guess it must be something in that family of yours."

"Hey!" Elena exclaimed as both she and Bella glared venomously at Damon.

Bella was more annoyed at the interruption then the danger thing. She had heard that more than once. "Well there must be something in your blood line for cutting off people before they finish speaking. So I suggest you shut up so I can explain the story don't you think?"

Stefan tried to be a gentleman and tried to cover up his smile by looking down on the floor, but Damon just stared at Bella showing his amusement through the smirk on his face. Bella was very tempted to smack it off his face, but she thought better of it, and instead took a deep breath to calm herself. "Well?" She said..no spat when Damon did not comment.

He blinked his eyes innocently, but the smirk was still plastered on his face. "Oh, I'm sorry. Am I allowed to speak now? I wasn't aware. I didn't want to cut you off," he said, ending it with an eye roll.

Bella glared at him harshly. Her hand twitched as the yearn to hit him became more tempting. "Is he always like this?" she asked Elena who was still glaring at Damon.

Elena looked back at her, but glanced in Damon's direction before she answered. "This is just the beginning. It get's sooo much worse."

Bella laughed. "I'm not surprised."

Damon frowned in annoyance. He didn't like being spoken about when he was clearly in the room. "Okay. Anyway back to the concept at hand."

Stefan smiled amusingly, but decided to put an end to the taunting before it got out of hand again. "I agree. So Bella want to explain."

Both the brothers moved from their place near the wall to sit back in the same seat (so Damon and Bella on one couch and Stefan and Elena on the one across from them). Once seated Bella began to explain everything about the Cullens and how she fell in love with Edward even though her blood sang to him. She then began to explain about the James situation and how Edward sucked the venom from the bite he gave her. At that moment, Bella lightly traced the scar on her wrist. A never-ending reminder of what happened to her. Damon noticed what she was doing, and gently took her arm to see the scar more clearly.

Damon examined the scar before tracing it. If he was being honest he could see it clearly when she was tracing it, but he just wanted an excuse to touch her. God something really was wrong with him today, Damon thought as he gave Bella-quite reluctantly I might add-her arm back.

"That's impressive. He must really love you," Stefan mused.

Bella smiled sadly. "I thought he did."

Elena rose her eyes in question. "During my 18th birthday, I got a paper cut and his brother Jasper attacked. He took me for a walk in the woods a few days ago and said he was leaving. I foolishly thought he was taking me with him, but I was wrong. He said he didn't want me and I wasn't good enough and left. My heart broke, but with the help of my friends I was able to get back on my feet. And then Charlie told me the truth, and now here I am."

Bella finished her explanation with a sad sigh. She felt warm arms wrap around her, and she looked up to see Elena hovering over her with tears streaming down her face. "You've been through so much…He didn't deserve you. You're a gift Bell. Now you know he wasn't the right one to receive you. I'm glad you're here though. You're not alone anymore." Bella's eyes swam with tears at that fact. Elena was right. She wasn't alone. She had her twin. She stood up to embrace Elena properly.

The two sisters stood there in the Salvatore home in the others arms with tears streaming down their faces. Both have been through way too much than a normal teenage girl should have been through. But it was fine, as they finally found the other. They weren't alone anymore. They were twin sisters. Able to tell the other anything and always be on the other's side. A sibling love that was to be treasured, and treasure it they will.

When they separated they found out that Damon had moved to the other couch that Stefan was seated on. Neither brother said anything as the girls had their moment. Elena and Bella then sat on the other couch. "So how did you find out they were vampires?"

Elena then began to explain everything that happen when she met Stefan (yeah sorry you guys know what happen haha) all they way up to the present. After she finished her tale, Bella began to laugh. "We really are twins. Look at all that havoc we've been through and caused."

"I agree," Elena responded just as amused.

"How can you die? The other kind of vampires had to be ripped apart and burned. Is it that same way with you?"

Stefan answered her. "No. We die by wooden stakes in the heart or by the sun, but like Elena explained we had rings made by Bonnie's ancestor Emily create it -as she was a witch like Bonnie-for us. And vervain is harmful to us as well."

Bella shook her head. The friend she had known for a long time was a witch. Geez, but wait vervain? Where had she heard that before.

"Vervain?" She whispered to herself as a memory flash through her eyes.

Flashback!

A young Bella was hiding behind a trashcan in an alleyway. She looked to be maybe 5 years old. Even back then, she was very pretty with her fair skin and her pretty chocolate brown doe eyes.

"Ah. Come on. Don't need to hide. We won't hurt you," a man's voice said.

"Much," another man's voice continued.

Little Bella tried to keep her breathing quiet as she heard their footsteps. Suddenly an arm picked her up roughly. "Gotchya," the man said.

Bella screamed and tried to free herself by kicking and screaming for help. All of a sudden she was let go, and she fell to the ground. She heard a muffled scream and two sickening cracks and bodies drop to the floor. "How sickening. Trying to attack small children like that," a deep male voice said.

Little Bella's eyes grew with wonder at the musical tone in it. Her eyes grew bigger as her savior turned to face her. Bella gasped at the beauty of her savior, but his green blue eyes were what enchanted her as he kneeled down look at her.

"You will not remember me or this incident. Do you understand?" Her savior spoke in such a convincing voice that Bella felt compelled to follow it, but then she shook her head causing her to break away from his spell.

"I don't understand. How could I forget?" Her innocent voice ran with confusion.

Her green-blue eyed savior looked at her with shock then curiosity. "Are you wearing vervain?"

Bella tilted her head in a childlike matter. "What's vervain?"

"Helloooo! Bella? Yo-hoo! Anyone in there?" She heard Elena's voice speak as a hand appeared in front of her vision.

Bella jolted backwards. "Huh? Oh sorry. Just lost in a memory."

"Must've been some memory," Damon said with curiosity and-dare Bella think-concern in his eyes. Stefan and Elena too looked at her with the same expressions on their face.

"So, what do you think he wants with that old Gilbert device?" Bella asked trying to distract them from what happened. Thankfully they left it alone.

This time Damon answered her. "We don't know, but we will find out."

Bella nodded. Stefan decided to speak up now. "It's getting late. I'm sure Jenna will worry why Bella's been out so long."

Bella turned to look at the clock to see it was already past 6. "Wow. Where has the time gone?" she murmur med to herself.

Damon chuckled. "Well you know what they say. Time flies when you're having fun. And you're here with me, so you should be having loads of fun even if my boring of my brother is here too."

Bella shook her head exasperated. "Come on Bella. I brought my car here, so let's go." Elena said as she tugged on Bella's arm, leading her to the exit but not before give a quick glare to Damon.

"It was nice to meet you Stefan," Bella said kindly to the nicer brother before she left. Stefan gave her a kind smile in response.

"Oh, and what about me?" Damon pouted at her mockingly.

Bella rolled her eyes in annoyance before giving him a smirk. "Well…meeting you wasn't the worst thing that's ever happened to me." She gave him no chance to respond as she closed the door.

Damon chuckled amusingly before he turned to his brother who was glaring at her in annoyance. "I like her. She's feisty."

Stefan shook his head in exasperation. "Shut up Damon," he said as he walked up to his room.

"So mean little brother," Damon answered as he went to get himself a drink to help muse over everything that has happened.

WITH BELLA AND ELENA

"You okay?" Elena said to Bella as she drove to their home.

"Yeah. Just give me some time to wrap my head around this."

"Take all the time you need." They didn't speak for the rest of the car ride, but both were comfortable with the silence.

"Aunt Jenna we're home!" Elena exclaimed as the two girls went inside.

"She's not here. Apparently she went to the grill to meet up with Alaric," Jeremy said as he appeared from the kitchen. "Bella?" He said in disbelief as he noticed the girl next to his sister.

Bella smiled at him as she walked toward him. "Yeah Jer it's really me." With that, Jeremy gave a big smile before wrapping his arms around her in bear hug. Neither noticed Elena discreetly walk up the stairs to give them their moment.

"I've missed you Bell," Jeremy said as he let go of her.

"I've missed you too Jer," Bella said as kissed his cheek and giving him a good look. "You look well. I'm glad."

"Thanks. So do you. Puberty's been really nice to you I see," He said jokingly. Bella laughed along before setting herself down on the couch. "So what are you doing here? Jenna said you weren't coming til the summer."

Bella then explained all that happened in Forks and what happened at the Salvatore house. "I'll kill that bastard. He's an idiot for leaving you," Jeremy muttered under his breath. "Twins? Woow," he continued.

"You okay with that?"

Jeremy shrugged. "Technically it doesn't change anything between

us, so yeah. I'm cool." Bella smiled at that. "So you know?" Bella knew what he was talking about, and it wasn't about the twin thing.

Bella nodded. "And you know that I'm not speaking to Elena," he continued. She nodded again.

"To be fair Jer, I would've done the same thing. I wouldn't have wanted you to be in danger. You're mad. I get it, but she did out of love. Now I'm gonna leave before you throw a tantrum," she said before kissing his forehead and heading up the stairs.

Bella headed toward Elena's room instead of hers. Once she opened the door, she saw Elena on her bed eating pizza. "Hey," she said casually. "Want some?"

Bella took a slice before sitting next to Elena. "He's still not going to talk to me huh?" Elena said.

"He'll get over it. He just needs some time." Bella said as she put her arm around her sister's shoulders. Elena leaned into the arm as they began to talk about random things like school and teachers. Soon they both fell asleep on Elena's bed, finally relaxing after the day they both had.

So what did you guys think? And who do you think is Bella's green-blue eyed savior? I'd love to know what you think! Reviews are very much appreciated. (:
