Edward:
What should have been a simple two day trip turned into a seven day trip all because James, Victoria, and Laurent like to play with their food. I swear, I am going to tell Aro that I can not work with those three again. They are savages. Just because one is a vampire does not mean that one needs to be so savage.
We decided to split up after we checked into our hotel rooms. We each took a different part of the town to try to sniff out Alice and Isabella.
The memories from this place from so long ago come back to the front of my mind. I walked to the place where my family hut used to be. It's a playground now but I do notice a memorial plaque with my family's name on it. I wonder who did that because I surely didn't.
I looked out to the baseball field next to it. I remember brushing down horses with Jasper and Emmett. There's a blackness next to Emmett while everything else is clear as day. I know someone is standing next to Emmett because he is speaking to whomever it is. That blackness has been there ever since I was human. No one seems to know why though.
I'm brought out of my thoughts as I'm walking back to town by this most amazing smell of strawberries. I follow the smell to see where it leads. I turn a corner and realize that the smell belongs to another vampire. She is sitting at a table with two other females. One blonde and one with black hair. She threw her head back and let out this loud laugh. I decided to listen in on their conversation.
"I'm serious. Rose had that poor human so confused. He had no idea where he was or what year it was. I'm telling you, her confundus charm is powerful." Laughed the black haired lady.
The brunette replied, "I would have loved to see that. I just allure them away." She laughed again.
"You guys are so bad. You know that right?" The black haired woman said.
They were laughing too hysterically to answer. Even I cracked a smile.
I tried listening in on their thoughts but they were coming up blank. I was dumbfounded. I have never had that happen to me before. I decided that I would get closer to see if that would help when my name was called. I looked behind me and was shocked to see who was standing there.
"Wow. It is you. I haven't seen you in how long?" Asked Emmett with Jasper standing next to him.
I smile at my two oldest friends. "Hey. Yeah, it's been a really long time hasn't it?"
Jasper moves to give me one of those man hugs. Emmett follows suit.
"How long have you been here?" Asked Jasper.
"I just got in town today. I've been walking around getting the lay of the land since it's so different from when we were younger. You know?" I said. "What brings you here?"
"Oh you know, family business." Emmett replied a little too quickly.
I quickly scanned their minds. Jasper was thinking of war strategies in Spanish while all Emmett was thinking of was the blonde woman at the table. Interesting.
"What have you been up to all this time?" Asked Emmett.
This is something I hated talking about. I hated that I worked for Aro. I hated the way people acted once they found out. I hated lying to those I once considered family.
"Oh you now, drifting from place to place. I've got two medical degrees from attending twice. I also have a degree in music. What about you?" I asked.
"I studied business." Emmett answered.
Jasper laughed and said, "I am actually a history professor."
I laughed with him because it is ironic that he would be a history teacher of all things seeing that we are actually older than most of the history he would teach.
Emmett looked at his watch. "We actually have to get going. We are meeting our sister for lunch. Meet up later?"
Their sister? I thought she died the night I was changed.
My confusion must have been shown on my face because Jasper spoke.
"I know what night you are thinking of. She didn't die." Jasper said.
"And here I thought I was the mind reader." I laughed.
We shook hands after a few more minutes then went our separate ways. They headed into the town square. I decided to watch them from afar so I jumped to the roof of the nearest building. I wasn't totally surprised when I saw that they meant up with the three women I had been watching earlier.
It seems I can not read their minds now that they are with the women which means one of the two vampires is a shield. That will make things more difficult. I wonder if that is the two women that Aro wants James to get.
I decided to sit up on the roof longer. I wanted to see what Emmett and Jasper were going to tell them. I hated that I could not read their minds. It would make things so much easier if I could.
After what seemed like an hour, I heard the blonde say that the black haired woman was having a vision. Well well. There we go. She is who we are after. I continued to watch and listen.
"He is here." The black haired woman said.
The brunette placed her hand on the vampire and asked, "Who is here, Alice?"
Bingo. I actually found Alice. Then the other must be Isabella.
What I was not expecting is what came out of her mouth next.
"Edward." Alice replied. "On the roof of the building behind us. He's watching us."
Four sets of eyes landed on me. The women were shocked like they knew who I was. I didn't know who they were. The brunette looked like she had seen a ghost. Emmett and Jasper weren't surprised to see me since it wasn't that long ago that I had seen them.
"Edward. Don't move. We are coming to you." Emmett said as the blonde took his hand.
I watched as they each placed a hand on each other's shoulder. The blonde closed her eyes, and whispered something. Then they were gone. Poof, disappeared.
"Looking for us?" I heard behind me.
I spun around to face the five people who had just disappeared.
The blonde laughed. "I guess you haven't encountered that many witches in your travels."
I smirked. "Actually no I haven't. You are?"
She looked at Emmett. He gave her a head nod.
"I am Rosalie Hale."
Fuck. I have heard of her. She's the most powerful witch in the world.
She laughed again. "I take it you have heard of me? Lovely."
"Rose. Be nice." The brunette said, giving Rosalie a pointed look.
Rosalie flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Relax Bella. I don't intend to harm him." She said. "Unless provoked." She smirked at me.
"I need to go. I can't be here right now." Bella shook her head looking at Emmett and Jasper. "I can't. Rose, can you send me home."
Rosalie nodded. "Sure B. Alice, are you going with her?"
"Yes." Alice said. "Remember, I see it all."
Alice wrapped her small arm around Bella's. Rosalie waved her arm while whispering and both women disappeared. I am really impressed.
The three of them turned to face me. All joking disappeared from their faces. Before I knew what was happening, Emmett had me in a chokehold.
"Tell me the real fucking reason you are here?" Emmett growled.
I growled back. "If I tell you, then I'm as good as dead, Em."
"I will kill you myself if you mess with my sister or niece. You hear me?" He said.
I twisted my body and Emmett had no choice but to let me go. "What are you talking about? Your sister and niece?"
Jasper walked to stand next to Emmett. Rosalie joined him on his other side.
"Bella is our sister. Alice is our niece." Jasper answered. "Listen Edward and listen well."
Jasper was telling me to read his thoughts so I did. I look into his mind and see a memory he is remembering.
It's the night that my mother was killed. He showed me what Aro made our mothers do, of what they became, what I became. I knew that already but what I didn't know was that Aro did the same thing to their sister, Isabella. I thought she perished like my mother and Renee. Funny thing is that up until that night, I have no memories of Isabella but yet I knew who she was. How can that be?
"How is it that I knew who Isabella was that night but yet I have no memories of her before or after that night?" I asked no one in peculiar.
"Before I answer that and trust me, I will answer that. We need to know if you are here alone?" Asked Jasper.
I started pacing. Do I tell them? I mean, they are my two oldest friends. I've known them since I was a boy. Before that even.
"Ed, man. Be truthful with us and we will be with you." Emmett said.
I looked at them. "I'm not alone. I'm with three others."
Rosalie tisked. "Then we need to move this conversation somewhere else. Let's go."
We gathered around Rosalie and she whispered. Next thing I know, I'm standing in an old parlor room. I bent over at the waist. I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. Someone laughed.
"Yeah. It takes some getting used to." Alice said.
Once I was standing upright again, I asked, "Where are we?"
"Our home." Bella answered from the doorway.
She was carrying a tray with glasses on it along with a bottle of whiskey.
Once drinks were passed out and everyone had taken a seat, it was time for us to get answers.

Bella:
He's alive.
I can not believe this. My heart hasn't stopped beating fast since I first laid eyes on him on that roof. What is he doing here? Why is he here after all this time? Why hasn't he looked for me? He promised me that he would always be there for me. I couldn't take it anymore.
"Do you know who I am?" I blurted out. I think I shocked everyone, myself included.
Edward gave me a good look. He shook his head. "All I know of you is that you are Emmett and Jasper's little sister. I thought you died the night we were reborn." He paused for a second as if he needed to think of something. "Do you know who I am?"
I nodded my head. "You are the love of my life."
Silence. Far too much silence. Then noise.
"ISABELLA." Everyone but Edward yelled.
"What?" Edward asked.
Rose and Alice came to sit on each side of me.
"You needed to slowly introduce that sweetie. Not blurt it out like that. You could have caused him to run for the hills." Alice laughed.
I smirked at her. "You would have seen that happening."
"I know but still." She smiled back.
Edward's shock finally wore off. "I think you have me confused with someone else. How could I be that person for you when I have never actually meant you?"
"Ed. You two have meant." Jasper said.
"If that is so, then why don't I remember her? And trust me. I would remember someone as beautiful as Bella." Edward admitted.
I couldn't help but smile at him but then I remembered that I'm still very much pissed off at him.
"I think I know what happened." Rose said.
"Don't be shy. Do tell." Jasper said.
Rose sat up straighter. "I will but I want to know something first." She looked straight at Edward.
He nodded. "Sure. Ask away."
She tilted her head. "Do you remember Bella in your human memories? Or is it just your vampire memories?"
Hmm good question.
"The only memory I have of Bella is the night I thought she died. Why? What are you thinking?" Edward answered.
"I think your memory was erased as a human." Rose answered.
.
.

So Edward finally caught up with the Swan family. I wonder what will come of it.
Bella is having mixed emotions about Edward. She needs answers.
Edward needs to know why he can't remember her.
What do y'all think will happen next? Let me hear it.
Take care and stay safe.
