A Twist in Time
A Twist in Time
Summary
Chapter 1
Have I ever mentioned I love running? Well I do; right now I’m on
one of my annual hunting trips. I left everybody at home and came
alone like I usually did. Whenever I do this, I head straight towards my
secret place, only I know about it. I use the space as a place to think,
why would I do that? I think about my new and old life, I think about
the complicated things and the funny things. I think about everything
and everyone.
Now I think I should tell him that we are even. We love each
other enough to give each other a daughter, a beautiful daughter, a
married daughter.
Flashback~
“Edward, they love each, why aren’t you letting them confess
it. Remember when we were in love?”
“Let them love, Edward, just let them do this on their own.”
End Flasback~
A man stepped out of the trees and into my place. His hair was a
dirty blonde color and his body structure was quite large, larger than
Emmett’s which scared me.
“Hi, can I help you?” I asked politely, even though I was irritated
that he disturbed me.
“Bella Cullen. Why have you come to look for us?” I replied and
questioned.
“I came because there are not many of our kind of vampires and
I was interested, Bella.” He smiled at me and I couldn’t help but smile
back. He reminded me of Charlie, my dad. I frowned and looked to the
ground.
“I’m sorry Bella that must have been terrible. Are you a new
born?” He looked at me in question and in pity.
“Bella! Get off of her!” I heard the wind rush by and Leo’s grip on
me disappeared. I fell to the ground, and I couldn’t move.
“Yes love. I’m right here. Stay with me, don’t go.” He demanded
but it was thick with pain. My eyesight started getting fuzzy and I
started blinking. He gasped,”Your eyes are...they are human again.”
I closed them and I couldn’t open them again. This time I faded
out and got lost in the world of colors.
Chapter 2
The colors started making sense after a while, but they weren’t
really colors they were memories, my memories. It showed me giving
birth to Renesmee, me and Edward’s honeymoon, the wedding, the
newborns... they kept going and going.
I ran down the stairs, tripping on the last step, and ran to the
kitchen. Now I remember how clumsy I was. Right when I stepped in
the kitchen, one man was sitting at the table. Charlie...
I knew one thing was for certain, I was the only one who knew.
“Y-Yeah Dad, I’m all set, I’m going to get ready.” I told him
stuttering. I knew, or hoped at least one person knew what was
happening. Alice.
“Ok, I’m leaving, have fun!” With that my dad left the house to
work. This was just perfect, my perfect life gets ruined by a stupid
vampire and here I am stuck in the past.
Minutes later I saw the familiar driveway and I turned onto it,
driving slowly, since I wasn’t indestructible anymore. Finally, I saw the
big, white house as glorious as ever. Please be here...
I got out of the truck and walked up the front steps, running
through plans in my mind of things to say if they don’t recognize me. I
knocked quietly, but surely they heard me. Seconds later the door
opened and there stood Esme.
I used all my strength not to run over to her and grab her in a big
hug. She smiled at me and I smiled right on back.
“Alice dear, someone is here to see you!” She yelled into the
house, though I knew she didn’t need to. I smiled internally, she was
here.
“Yes mom? Oh hello...” She was very bouncy even now, but once
she looked into my eyes, hers glazed over. Maybe this will be easier
than I thought. She looked at me coming back to the present. “Isabella,
am I right?”
Or maybe not...
“Call me Bella. Can I speak to you please?” I asked her, no
matter what I am going tell Alice everything.
“Sure thing Bella, follow me.” She smiled and I walked with her
to the kitchen. She looked at me once and nodded for me to speak. I
didn’t know if I could, somebody was bound to overhear.
“Ok, this may sound weird Alice, but I’m from the future, and I
don’t belong here. I need help, and I don’t know what to do. I lost my
Husband, sisters and brothers, daughter, parents, and nobody
remembers me. Please Alice, I need your help.” I rushed all of it out
and looked down at my watch I had 25 minutes till school starts.
Great, school....
“U-uh, um I don’t know what you’re talking about. How did you
know that my family can hear us? Who are you?” She stuttered, if I
wasn’t so lost and alone right now, I would have giggled.
“If your last name is, or is going to be Cullen, than that means...”
Her eyes opened wide as she trailed off. I finished it off for her.
“It means that we are sisters.” I mumbled the last part and her
eyes zeroed in on my face. “Alice, I have this feeling that you can’t tell
anyone that I know. I have to find a way out of this. I just need help.” I
looked at her, hope written all over my face.
“The only thing I can tell you Bella is that you pretend that you
are you. Do the same things that you did when you lived like this
before. I will help you Bella, what are sisters for.” She smiled at me and
I started a fresh new wave of tears. I jumped over to her and hugged
her with all my might.
I looked for them right away; it was quite easy to spot them. I
could feel Alice’s gaze on me, but only one person held my complete
attention.
I to the lunch line and since I ate nothing this morning, I grabbed
a slice of pizza, an apple, and a coke. I paid for my meal and walked
towards the table where all my old or new friends were.
I took the chance and shot a glance at their table. It felt so weird
that I wasn’t sitting with them, like there was an invisible rope pulling
me to them. I caught Alice’s gaze and she winked at me. I looked down
and smiled.
“Oh that’s the Cullen’s and the Hale’s.” I heard Jessica tell me. I
looked over at her and smirked. It reminded me of my first day here
before when Jessica told me all about them.
She kept telling me there names and who’s related, and whose
dating. I was about to tell her that I already know everything about
them, but-remembering where and when I was-I stopped myself.
By the time she got to Edward, she was talking about him being
gorgeous, but nobody here being good enough for him. I smiled to
myself and looked over at them again, no Jessica, at least not yet.
I was about to rip her throat out. I was beyond jealous that girls
were looking at him like that. I told myself to breathe and get over it.
“Do you know the Cullen’s? You kept looking over at them and
you had a look in your eye that told me you knew them from
somewhere...?” He looked over at me with a look of knowledge. I
flushed and looked down at my shoes.
We walked the rest of the way there in silence. I sped into the
classroom expectantly.
I wonder if this is what it feels like to start school over and over
again. I was aware of the sounds of Edward gripping the table to hard. I
looked over at him and mouthed relax. He stared at me confused.
“Do I know you?” His velvet voice asked me. I smiled internally.
When the bell rang I was expecting him to get up and speed out
of the classroom but he surprised by pulling me back from leaving.
“Yes Edward?”
“What isn’t supposed to happen this way? What are you talking
about?” He was glaring at me now. This is just great; I made up my
mind and turned around.
“I will tell you and your whole family afterschool, ok? I will meet
you at your house. You are still so stubborn.” I muttered the last part
to myself, but I could see he caught it. I turned and started walking to
gym.
Chapter 3
It started raining so I slipped a few times while I was racing to
get to the gym. Once there they gave me outfit and told me I didn’t
have to workout today.
The whole time during gym though I couldn’t stop thinking about
that huge mistake I made. How am I supposed to tell him and the rest
of the family? I could barely tell Alice.
“Damn it.” I moaned, not caring if they heard me. I hope this
doesn’t have any effect in the future. Something in me was yelling at
me. This feels like a bad idea.
I quickly backed out and left with them trailing behind me. I
looked in the review mirror at Edward’s face it was irritated by my slow
driving. I rolled my eyes at him.
When the white house came into view I turned off the engine and
stepped out of the car. I felt someone loop there arm through mine.
Alice.
“Don’t worry I’m here for you. They won’t think you’re too crazy.
I already have seen the outcome.” She giggled and pulled me through
the front door. She steered me towards the living room and sat me
down on the long couch.
I turned around and could see Emmett and Rosalie take a seat in
the love seat, Jasper sat next to Alice who was sitting by me and
Edward stood near the wall on the other side of the room. He had one
hand over his mouth, his eyes held hunger.
“Now that everybody is here, explain. From all the 80’s music I’m
hearing, I’m guessing you know about this, Alice?” I looked to Alice and
whispered to her.
“Sorry I got you into this mess.” She smiled in comfort. I looked
up and I held my gaze with each one of them.
“I know everything about you. All of you are vampires, but you
don’t drink human blood, you drink the blood of animals. Alice and
Jasper are married, as well as Rosalie and Emmett, Carlisle and Esme,
and Edward and...” I trailed off and looked down at my lap. I could feel
the tears silently rolling down my face.
“Me, except it hasn’t happened yet. I’m from the future, well at
least my spirit is-“
“WHAT? So you are saying you and I are married in the future.
That’s crazy!” He yelled and I flinched into Alice.
“Let her prove it then. Prove that you are from the future!” He
said calming down. I didn’t know he hated me this much.
I stood up and glared at him through my tears.” Fine! I will give
you proof. There is an old cottage out there that will be our house
when we get married, Esme has refurbished it and it was like my own
little fairytale. Our honeymoon was on Isle Esme. If I didn’t say
anything to you in biology than you would have left to Denali!” I
screamed the last part out.
“She has to be telling you the truth son, nobody knows about the
island but us.” Esme stated looking at Edward.
When I got to him our lips met and my world came back together
again, at least part of it did.
Chapter 4
“Will somebody please tell me what is going on!?” Emmett yelled
at us.
“I thought I was never going to see you again, well the future you
at least. I thought I was stuck in the past.” I started cry and Edward
hugged me tight to his chest.
“I’m here love, I’m here.” He comforted me. When I calmed down
I looked over at everybody and started explaining.
“His power is to send a persons spirit to their past self and let
them relive that part of their life. When he was sending me, it felt like I
was sleeping, I became unconscious but I turned into a human.
“I then came here looking for Alice hoping she would have seen
this, but I told her anyways. Then I said something to past Edward that
gave me away. Now I’m here.”
“They are taking it all in, give them a mo-“He stopped suddenly
and looked at Alice. “Renesmee” he told her, I jumped at her name,
and glanced between the two of them. Alice face was shocked and
Edwards face was smiling.
“Your niece Jasper,” I smiled at him and I didn’t know that the
room could get any quieter, but it did.
I decided to tell them about her after about 5 minutes.
“Edward, what did Leo say? How do we get back to our time?”
I was finally getting out of here. Not that I didn’t love where I
started, it’s just right now, I rather be where I ended.
I repeated this for a full minute before I finally kept it open. What
came out of my mouth surprised me.
I got up from the couch and wandered over to the stairs. Slowly I
climbed them, one at a time. My vision was blurring and by the time I
got to my bedroom I was stumbling.
I closed the door, and when I heard the click of the door I burst
into sobs. I couldn’t believe myself. I couldn’t do.
“We can stay here as long as you like. I won’t make you leave.”
He comforted me to the best of my advantaged.
Renesmee was silently crying when she saw Edward move. She
gasped and looked at his face. He was blinking and sitting up.
“Daddy!” she threw her arms around him and Edward put an arm
around her, giving her a hug. I realized the room was very crowded
now. Nobody even saw me, I wonder if they could.
“Mom! Mom, wake up! Why isn’t she waking up!?” Everybody
was staring at my body, and then they all looked up at Edward.
“Mom!” Renesmee cried and ran over to me. I didn’t know what
to expect but she ran right through me. It kind of tickled.
“I told you so.” I looked up at Edward and he also smiled, but his
eyes held confusion.
