Chapter 7

In the night, there was a peaceful silence that filled the home of the Gilberts. However as the two sisters lay in bed on that very night-one had a peaceful slumber as she felt the presence of her other half beside her-the other sister was plagued with forgotten memories of the past.

Bella's Dreams…

"Vervain is something that you don't need to be concerned of," her pretty green-blue eyed savior…no knight said as he stood up. Her knight looked down at her with such an emotionless gaze that should've made her uncomfortable, but for some reason it didn't. Maybe it was he saved me, little Bella thought to herself. Finally after staring at her, he gave a small smile and gave her his hand. "Come, I'll help you find your mother."

Bella looked at him for a moment before grabbing his hand. They walked a little bit in silence before Bella heard her name being called. "Bella, Bella, Bella!" A frantic Renee exclaimed as she made her way to the two.

~Dream Changes~

Little Bella is in her room as she sits in her bed reading a book. "Bella! Come downstairs, you're babysitter is here," She heard her mother exclaim. As Bella descended the stairs, she couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face as she locked gazes with familiar green-blue eyes. She quickly ran down-carefully as to make sure she didn't trip- the stairs, but being Bella, she slipped on the last step. Two strong and firm, yet still very gentle, hands caught her and lifted her up in the air.

Bella squeaked as her knight cradle her to his chest. Bella wrapped her small arms around his neck as much as she could, and laid her head in the crook of it. She inhaled his familiar scent of orange blossoms and lime, but it had a edge of spice in it. Bella thought it was perfect for her savior that she knew could be so sweet, but so evil as well.

She felt his lips touch the side of her forehead for a moment before they both looked at her mother. Renee smiled at them. "Have a goodnight. I'll be back around midnight. I made some food in the kitchen for you." She said as she left to go on another date.

As soon as the door closed, Bella turned immediately to her knight who was looking at her with content on his face. "We're cooking right?" She asked, knowing full well of her mother's inability to cook anything that could be edible.

He laughed at her question, and Bella was reminded of smooth caramel being dipped from a spoon. "Yes la mia stella bella (my beautiful star) we are." And with that he walked toward the direction of the kitchen with Bella leaning contently against him.

Before another memory could form a very loud sound appeared, startling Bella into a wake. She sat up in a start, alarmed by the sound that disrupted her slumber. She took a glance of her surroundings before she let out a groan at the fact that Elena's stupid alarm clock woke up. She looked beside her to see Elena sleeping like the dead. She smiled mischievously as an idea formed into her head. Quietly, taking her pillow-as to not wake her-she hit Elena in the back of head with all the force she could use. Then she gave her a rough shake before yelling. "ELENA! Wake up!" Then she lightly pushed Elena off her bed. Bella quickly ran to her room as she heard her sister finally awaken.

"Bella! What the hell?" She heard as she got ready. Bella laughed again as she heard Elena's retreating footsteps when she realized she had to get ready for school. Once finally getting ready, Bella looked into the mirror to giver herself a once quick look over. She smiled approvingly at the outfit. She was wearing light blue skinny jeans with a dark purple scoop line top that had ¾ length sleeves and strappy suedette black ankle boots to finish off the outfit. Her hair was down and flowed beautifully down her back in its natural waves.

As she headed to the kitchen to get some breakfast, she saw Jeremy sitting down eating some toast and cereal. "Don't mind if I do," Bella said as she took one of Jeremy's toast and took the seat next to him.

"Hey!" Jeremy protested, but didn't try to take the piece of toast back.

"Where's Jenna?"

Jeremy shrugged. "Had to leave early for work." Neither talked after that as they ate in comfortable silence. A little while after rapid footsteps were heard coming down the stairs as Bella and Jeremy waited by the door for Elena.

"I don't remember you always being this slow," Bella said as they walked out the door to head to school.

Elena glared at her, still irritated by being waken up. "Shut up. You see someone just had to wack me in the head to wake me up."

Bella smiled at her. "Jeremy who do you think you would do that?"

Jeremy grinned at her, and decided to play along. "I don't know Bell. She might just be seeing things."

Elena glared hard at both of them. "You guys suck!" She said as she got out of her car to head for her locker. Jeremy and Bella laughed before they went separate ways; Jeremy heading out to look for Anna and Bella to go follow Elena.

Bella found Elena taking books out of her locker, an irritated look still on her face. "You got admit, it was pretty funny," Bella said casually to her. Elena looked at her, and Bella gave her sister her dimpled smile. The smile Bella knew Elena couldn't resist.

Elena rolled her eyes, but Bella saw her mouth tilt upward a little. "Come on, let's get your schedule," she said before walking ahead. With that, Bella knew all was forgiven. After getting her schedule, the two girls parted ways.

Bella walked down the hall heading to my first class when she heard a voice behind me. "No way! Bella?" a familiar female voice said.

Bella turned around to see Caroline looking at her with a disbelief smile. A grinned formed on Bella's face. "Hey care bear," Bella said casually. Caroline gave a small squeal of happiness before running up to Bella and wrapping her arms around her. Bella laughed before doing the same.

"What are you doing here? I mean, not that I not LOVE that you're here, which I do, but bell what are you doing here?" Caroline rambled as the excitement on of her closest friends-the others being Elena and Bonnie-took over her.

Bella then explained how she found out she and Elena were twins and about Edward-minus the whole vampire thing-and how she needed a new start. "Wow bell. Well he was an ass, and it's not really surprising how you're twins now that you really look at it."

Bella nodded in return. Caroline then filled her on all the gossip happening while they headed to class as they soon found out they had the first 3 classes together. Those classes passed by quickly for Bella since she had Caroline with her.

It was during break when Bella and Caroline saw Bonnie and Elena, who were with Stefan. "Bonnie!" Bella exclaimed gleefully. Bonnie in exchange ran up to her before tackling her into a hug.

"Bella! It's so good to see you even though the reasons why you're here are unfortunate." seeing Bella's confused look Bonnie continued. "Elena told me everything." Bella then nodded.

"Don't worry about it. Hey Stefan," she said before giving a smile to Stefan.

"Bella," he said before smiling politely at her.

"Well I feel ignored," Elena said pouting mockingly.

Bella rolled her eyes. "And last but not least let's not forget the lovely Elena."

Elena smirked at her. "Why thank you." Before she could say anything else, a voice spoke behind Bella.

"So it's true. You really are here," the voice said.

Bella whirled around before a massive smile spread throughout her face. "Tyler!" She exclaimed before practically jumping on him. Bella wrapped her arms and legs around him, while pressing her face into the crook of his neck. She inhaled his familiar scent, and relaxed into him as the fragrances of rainwater and mint swarmed around her. She felt the vibrations come off his chest as he chuckled.

"Someone's missed me," Tyler said as he wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her steady.

Bella lifted her head to grin at him. "You bet your ass I did!" She leaned her forehead against his, and they both gave each other a smile. Besides Elena, Bella had to admit Tyler was the next on her list of people she missed most in this town.

Tyler Lockwood. Known as the mayor's rebellious son and football player that girls loved to get at. He was arrogant, and could be a real jerk most of the times. But to Bella, he was Bella's first of almost everything. When they were 5, he was the first boy to ever hold her hand. The first boy she hugged. The first boy she kissed at 12-years-old. The first boy to cop a feel on her. And he had something that no one else could ever have. Her virginity. They had lost it to one another when they were 16 the day before Bella left Mystic 2 summers ago. And in exchange for all of that, Bella's was Tyler's first in all the things listed above.

But not only was he Bella's first of practically everything, Tyler Lockwood was Bella's best guy friend here. He was the one that she leaned on when she needed a shoulder to cry on. The one who defended her as best as he could. He was Bella's rock. Her connection with Tyler was something very important to her.

Tyler pressed his lips to Bella's cheek before setting her gently to the ground. "You look good," he said, his eyes looking her up and down.

Bella scoffed. It was such a Tyler thing to say. "You haven't changed a bit. I'm not sure if I should be glad about that or not," she told him.

Before Tyler could give a sarcastic remark back, Elena interrupted them. "As much as I hate to break this up, Bella we're going to be late for our last class." Bella squeezed Tyler's hand goodbye before giving him a look, he understood t it to be that they'd talk later.

Bella and Elena walked in comfortable silence to their next class, which happened to be history with a certain Alaric Saltzman. "Ric, this is Bella. She's my-" Elena began to say before Ric interrupted her.

"I know twin sister. Damon filled me in on everything last night," Ric said. The sisters nodded at him, quite relieved they didn't have to repeat their complicated story again. "Oh, and you two stay after class. There are some things we need to talk about." They girls looked at each other before nodding back.

History class, for both girls, dragged on. Neither paid attention to what the lecture was about, as they were both impatient to know what Ric wanted to speak to them about. Bella looked outside the window, staring at the clouds absentmindedly. Though she was curious about what Ric wanted to tell her, her dreams or technically her memories her bugging her. Why was she remembering them now? Bella asked herself. She continued to think until the bracelet on her left wrist caught her attention. She gazed at it, as she remembered how she got it.

~Flashback!~

"You're leaving," a now 7-year-old Bella stated sadly as she and her knight were walking through the park under the stars hand in hand. Renee was out and about again, and her knight had come over to babysit her for one last time.

Her knight sighed. "Yes, I've stayed here too long. It's time for me to go."

Bella looked down at the ground, biting her lip-forcing herself not to cry. Her knight saw through her though as he picked her up into his arms and wrapped her into his familiar warm embrace. She let a cry of sadness come out of her mouth, and she couldn't stopped the rest of her tears from falling.

"I don't want you to go," she mumbled into his neck, after calming down from all the crying. They were on the porch in front of Bella's house. The lights were on inside showing that Renee was home.

"We'll meet again. I'm sure of that. Now give me your wrist," her knight said as he put her down on the ground.

Her knight placed an expensive looking sterling silver id bracelet on it. On the bracelet was Stella Bella (Beautiful Star) engraved on it in a pretty cursive with a cut out heart next to it. "Pretty," Bella said in awe of the beauty and simplicity of the bracelet.

'You have this to remember me by. I'll see you again," he murmured to her. He kissed both her cheeks lightly, before leaving a lingering kiss on her forehead. Neither said anything as Bella went inside the house with Renee. And when Bella hurried to her room to look out the window, her knight had already disappeared into the night.

~End of Flashback~

"Bella! Bella!" Elena shook Bella gently by the shoulder.

Bella jolted back in shock. She blinked to see that class was over and Stefan was here along with Elena and Ric. All three were looking at her worriedly. "Are you okay?" Elena asked, the worry in her voice obvious.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I was just daydreaming."

"Was my history lecture that boring?" Ric asked amusingly.

They laughed at the comment before everyone looked at Ric wanting to know what information he knew. "Isobel's here." He stated calmly.

"Isabel. You mean like Isabel your ex-wife, our mom, Isabel?" Elena asked doubtfully.

Ric nodded gravely. "She visited me here at school last night. She asked, no demanded, that she meets with you and Bella at the grill at 4."

No one said anything for a minute. The silence was broken when Damon appeared through the door. "Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything?" He said with a smirk. It quickly turned into a frown after seeing all the grave expressions on everyone's faces. "Geez, Stefan did you kill anyone while I was gone?"

Stefan glared at him, but Bella spoke before a fight between the brothers would occur. "Isobel's here. And she wants to see Elena and I at the grill at 4."

"Oh." Damon murmured. "Well, you don't have to go…If you don't want to." He responded back trying be comforting, but it didn't really come out right. Bella's lips tilted upward slightly at the gesture though.

"I want to meet her," Bella said as she turned her gaze toward Elena.

Elena sighed. "I'll go too then." If she was being honest, Elena wanted nothing to do with Isobel, but she had questions and Isobel had the answers. Also, the thought of her younger twin sister alone with their unpredictable loose cannon mommy gave Elena an uneasy feeling.

"Well, then. We should head over there then. It's almost 3:30," Stefan said, speaking for the first time.

"Wait," Ric said hesitatingly. "She also stated for them to come alone."

"No way in hell," Damon responded back.

"Fine," Bella responded at the same time.

"Are you out of your mind? Do you want to die? Just cause you're her daughter, doesn't me mommy dearest might not hurt you," Damon said back to her harshly.

"First of all, no I don't want to die. And secondly, maybe you should listen to what I have to say before you question my intelligence. And lastly, how can she do anything when we'll be meeting at the grill where there are other people there. If she tries anything, she'll be risking exposure. I doubt that's what she wants," Bella responded calmly, but the narrowing of her eyes showed how annoyed she was a Damon's response.

"She's right," Ric said.

Damon glared at him, annoyed. "Whose side are you on?"

"Mine obviously," Bella said with pleased smile of someone approving of her plan.

"And besides, you guys can just stay outside of the grill. And if anything does happen-which it won't" Elena added quickly as she saw Damon's eyes narrow, "Bella or I will scream, which will be a signal to show you if something's wrong or not."

"I'm fine with that," Stefan said.

Damon sighed. He'd have to admit defeat…this time. "Fine," he admitted reluctantly.

They headed to the grill, and just like the plan, the guys stayed outside a street away from the grill. Outside the grill, the guys were all tense. All wanting this meeting done with as they wanted the girls away from Isobel and wanted to know why she was here in the first place.

Inside the grill, the girls sat in a booth. Both on one side of the booth, leaving the other side for Isobel. Both were nervous and curious, wanting answers for the questions they have.

Five minutes later, Isobel slid into the booth in front of them. Isobel gave them a cold smile. "Hello Elena. Bella. It's been a while since I've seen either of you. Well, let's get down to business shall we." The girls glanced at each other and the same thought popped into both of their heads. Just what in the world did they get themselves into?

And there you have it! Sorry it took so long to update! And sorry if this chapter's a bit boring, but as you can see it's starting to get interesting in the next chapter. Hoped you liked it! (: Please review!
