I'd made sure to hide the book with my Diet Coke stash. I'd read the whole book, but it said nothing about the book itself appearing inside the dimension. In fact, the book gave no indication that I knew anything about what was going to happen. For example, I was some quiet, shy human who later get's changed right before the Denali's come over. Briana is already a vampire who was some nomad who changed her diet to the vegetarian lifestyle, and we'd apparently known each other for a couple years in middle school, or something, when she was changed when she was 16. And on page 347, right before the chapter There Are No Words for This, I'm mentioned to be sitting on the couch right next to Bella.

"Can I walk?" Bella asked. "My legs are so stiff."

"Are you sure?" Edward asked.

"Rose'll catch me if I trip over my feet. Which could happen pretty easily, since I can't see them."

Erin, who had taken a spot on the sofa next to where Bella had previously sat, chuckled at Bella's comment as Rosalie set Bella carefully on her feet, keeping her hands right at Bella's shoulders. Bella stretched her arms out in front of her, wincing a little.

And I'd been all the way across the room! Something changed it, the bastard-object-dimension thing! Anyway, I'd also found out the Twilight book that I'd taken from Bri's apartment had been effected in a teeny-tiny way: I'm mentioned. I was another quiet girl at the lunch table Bella sat at, and rarely spoke. How I'd gotten involved with the supernatural is because I'd been at the graduation party that takes place during Eclipse, I'd overheard the conversation about Victoria and all that. Something like that, anyway. Right after the battle in the baseball field with the newborns and all that, Seth had imprinted on me. And the Volturi had no knowledge of me until the standoff.

So that's the book's excuse for my existence, which I have to admit was pretty good. Anyway, I was skipping down the stairs the next morning after the book appeared when Carlisle intercepted me.

Erin, Briana told me that the book that tells of the past events and near future events has been hidden somewhere by you? he thought to me.

Yeah, I thought warily. What do you want it for?

I was wondering if I could have a look at it.

Um… Should I? Or should I not? Sure, I guess? But I have to warn you- -it's not accurate to what's been happening these past few months, and I'm only gonna let you read up to a chapter in there called 'There Are No Words for This.'

Thank you. Please bring it to me in my office- -I don't want anyone knowing about it.

He disappeared up the stairs, and I raced up to Edward's old room. I carefully, and quietly, lifted up the previously, but now loose floorboard that revealed the hidden book. I grabbed the book and dashed to Carlisle's study, where he was waiting for me.

"Thank you," he said as I handed it to him. He studied the front cover, and noticed the 'number one bestseller' text on it. "This is a bestseller?"

"Mm-hmm. It's really good." I said, and I finished through my mind, It starts with Bella's point of view, then moves to Jacob Black's. Though, in the original version, Bri and I aren't in it.

"Interesting," he murmured, and speed-read the preface of the first part of the book. "Is this referring to the issue of why she wouldn't give up her daughter?"

I nodded, leaving him with the book. Remember, I thought to him. Only up to the chapter titled 'There Are No Words for This.'

I flitted out of the room and downstairs. Briana was sitting on the sofa, picking at the TV dinner meal on her lap. About a fourth of the Mac'n Cheese had been eaten, and a small bite had been taken out of one of the four chicken nuggets.

"Not hungry?" I sat down next to her.

She shook her head. "Nah. Not really." She sighed. "I've changed my mind. I want to be changed into a vampire."

All conversation around us went deadly silent.

"And I want you to be the one to do it," she announced. Carlisle appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

"Bri," I said, turning to look at her. "I'm not going to take away your mortality."

My best friend snorted. "You sound like Edward."

"And I don't think I'll be able to handle it," I said, probably whining a little. "I mean, I seem like I'm in control, but not as much as I seem to have. I'm used to your smell, but if I try to change you…I might kill you."

"Yeah, like that'll happen."

I glowered at her. "You have no idea what it's like being a vampire, Bri. Besides, your going to be going to Charlie's anyway. It would look weird if you suddenly couldn't be there."

She groaned. "Fine. After the Volturi leave, then."

If they leave, I heard someone think. Tanya, it sounded like.

LINE BREAK

On Christmas day, just like the book had said, Briana, Jacob, Renesmee, Bella, Edward, and I went to Charlie's house. Let me tell you, the house was packed. No, that is not a pun. Yes, Jacob's pack was there, along with Sam, Emily, and Sue. Seth was happy to see me, and I was extremely surprised Leah actually talked to me.

Another thing that surprised me was that I got Christmas gifts from a few people. Bri got me an Ipod Touch- -probably using the Cullen's money on Edward's insistence. Seth got me a charm bracelet that had a silver chain, and a single charm on it: a silver wolf. I was surprised when Jacob gave me something- -unsurprised when it was a 12-pack of Diet Coke. Edward, who insisted the whole Cullen family pitched in besides Bella, gave me a car. Even though I was grateful, I was still horrified when I saw a black Porsche parked in front of Charlie's house. Even Charlie got me something: a two liter bottle of Diet Coke.

When we left, I could tell Bella, Edward, and Jacob were relieved, probably tired of pretending everything was all right. Seth was going to spend the rest of the night at his mother's house, as was Leah. Edward gave me the keys to my car before leaving with Bella, Jacob, and Renesmee- -Bri had decided to ride home with me in my new car.

While I put my Diet Coke in the trunk, Briana got in the passenger side of the car. I was wearing the bracelet Seth had given me, and my Ipod was in my pocket.

"So," I said as I got in the car. "The Volturi will be coming in a few days. Hopefully with me there, the standoff will go like normal in the book. And hopefully Aro will figure out that we plan to change you."

"Yeah." She had a faraway look in her eyes. As I drove pulled away from the curb, she asked: "Could you tell me about New Moon now?"

So I did. I explained Bella's dream at the beginning of the book, and then gave an overview of what happens throughout it.

"Wow," she whispered. "Edward left Bella? That's…shocking, seeing how happy they look now."

"Yeah, the crazy weirdo was trying to 'protect' her," I said as I turned the car into the Cullen's driveway. "But it pretty much did the opposite; she became suicidal, in a crazy, insane way." I muttered to myself: "Hallucinations…more like 'oh, I need to get rid of my pain, so I'm going to think of the craziest ways to kill myself!' She was kinda crazy herself, there." I scoffed.

"What?" Bri asked.

"Nothing," I said. "Talking to myself about my opinion of Bella's suicidal side."

My friend gave me a look that suggested I was going crazy. "Oh."

We found out Alistair was gone, after we entered the house. The only one shocked of the two of us was Briana, as expected.

The guy won't do anything, I thought to Edward. He's just afraid of his butt getting kicked by the Volturi.

There was also an argument going on between Carlisle, Benjamin, and Amun. Much sarcasm involved. I got my presents hauled inside and moved all my stuff back up to the attic. I sort of reminded myself of this fiction story I read on a website called where there was a vampire living in the attic of some Scottish mansion, or whatever.

That night, Bella left to run her 'errand' to pick up the false papers J had made up for her. I was surprised when Bella asked if I would go hunting with her. She stopped me when we were about halfway to Seattle.

"Erin." She said, and took a deep breath. "You probably know this, but I went to this man called J, and- -"

"I know. You got fake papers, or whatever. What you talking to me about it for, though?"

"I got something for Bri, too," she said. "She would be staging as Renesmee's older sister, or something. Anyway, I thought I'd tell you. Once Aro gives the word to attack, and Jake takes off with Renesmee, they're going to get Bri real quick and take off to someplace…safe."

"That was thoughtful of you Bella, but you really didn't need to- -"

"I wanted too. Please, just let Briana go with them."

"It's not like I have any control over that girl," I muttered, thinking of how crazy she was when we were little. "But it's nice to know she will be safe." Even though it's entirely unnecessary. Together, Bella and I ran back to the house in silence.
