Jasper rode to the Swan's house with Edward's car following them while being on call with Bella.

"What's the plan?" Bella asked as Vanessa thinks about it.

"Um...we can just tell dad that we need to take time off of school because it was getting stressful for both of us."
"I don't think he'll buy that Nessa."
"You have any better idea?"
"Yes."
"Let's hear it then. I would love to hear your idea without hurting our dad's heart Isabella." Vanessa and Jasper waited as Jasper knew that Vanessa didn't mean to come out as rude to her sister. She just didn't wanna add anymore to their father's stress as it is and breaking his heart cause they plan on leaving again. When there wasn't any response, Vanessa spoke.

"Right, now you let me do the talking with dad and you pack your clothes alright? I'll meet you back to their car." Vanessa instructed as she hung up and leans back to her seat.

"God, I sounded such a bitch."
"Hey, it's alright. I understand why. We'll make sure that they don't go after Charlie while you two are away."
"Thank you. I'm sorry for making this trouble."
"It's okay. You're my mate. I would do anything to keep you safe." He assures her and takes her hand kissing it. They arrived at the Swan Residence as the two girls got out of the car, but Vanessa grabs Bella's shoulder stopping her as they looked at each other.

"I'm sorry about everything. Lying to you and the phone call. You were right, I shouldn't have lied to you and kept it a secret. The only reason I did that was not only to protect The Cullens and Jasper, but also to keep you out of danger. Who am I kidding you were always looking for any adventures despite being introvert." Vanessa jokingly says making Bella smile and move a piece of her hair behind her ear.

"Also sorry for yelling at you."
"I understand, I forgive you. I know the yelling part isn't you being mean. You care a lot more about Charlie since you two have been inseparable. I wanna say sorry to and that everything I have been doing is totally uncalled for." Bella tells her as she nodded and wrapped her arms around her to which Bella did the same before pulling back.

"Come on." She walks with Bella into the house as the two Cullens looked at each other smiling that the two sisters mended their friendship again. After a few minutes the two walked out with bags in their hands as they hugged Charlie. Vanessa hugging him longer as the two cried before walking towards back towards the boys. Jasper hugged his mate in his arms as she did the same.

"I'm gonna miss him."
"I know, but I promise that you won't be away for long." He assures her as she nodded before they put their bags in the car and got inside. Jasper drove them to the Cullens house so that Jasper and Edward can pack their bags as well. Once they walked in, the two boys immediately put Bella and Vanessa behind them as Laurent walked down the stairs with Carlisle.

"What the hell is he doing here."
"Relax Edward. Laurent came here to warn us."
"James has never been interested with anything or anyone for that matter. Not even to Victoria. It seems that you caught his attention." Laurent looks at Vanessa as she glares at him for a moment.

"Although I have never seen those two afraid before. They never told me what had happened except for the fact that James wanted you. Or your blood." He shrugs before continuing. "Whatever you are planning as we speak, he will come after you and your family. That is the only warning I'll give you." Laurent tells them before walking out the house.

"Can my life get anymore weirder?" Vanessa asked Bella who chuckles as did the Cullens. They got ready as the Cullens gave them a hug before letting them go. Vanessa felt her world changing so much that she could barely process it. She closes her eyes to sleep before opening them again to see darkness. She went to rub her eyes and open them again to see the same Darkness. Whispers begin to surround her as she looks down to her hands seeing them.

"Where am I? What are you?" She asked not to herself but to whoever it was. She could feel its presence and knew that she wasn't alone. The whispers crowded around her as her hands fly to her ears covering them.

"Stop it. Shut up." She tells it as she crouches down and closes her eyes trying to block it out.

"I said SHUT UP!" She shouted loud and glared at the darkness. The whispers stopped as she panted heavily. She stood up and looked around her.

"Whatever you are, you are only here because of me. You don't own what I have. You can't control me." She tells it as she could feel it listening to her words.

"A̷͙ͭͫ̕r̴̨̦͕̝ẹ̿͋̒̕ y҉̃̀̋̑o̯̱̊͊͢ư̡͕̭̇ s̠҉͍͊ͅư̡͕̭̇r̴̨̦͕̝ẹ̿͋̒̕ ā̤̓̍͘b̬͖̏́͢o̯̱̊͊͢ư̡͕̭̇t̲̂̓ͩ̑ t̲̂̓ͩ̑ḣ̖̻͛̓ā̤̓̍͘t̲̂̓ͩ̑?"

She turns around to see herself, but she looked different. Her eyes were empty as if she has no humanity, not a will to live on. Staring right at her.

"Who are you?"

"W̯ͤ̾ͣ͝ḣ̖̻͛̓o̯̱̊͊͢ ḑ̴̞͛̒o̯̱̊͊͢ y҉̃̀̋̑o̯̱̊͊͢ư̡͕̭̇ t̲̂̓ͩ̑ḣ̖̻͛̓ỉ͔͖̜͌ṇ̤͛̒̍ḳ̯͍̑ͦ I̍̅̀̎̊ ā̤̓̍͘ḿ̬̏ͤͅ? I̍̅̀̎̊ ā̤̓̍͘ḿ̬̏ͤͅ y҉̃̀̋̑o̯̱̊͊͢ư̡͕̭̇." (Who do you think I am? I am you)

Vanessa stares at her in silence and the other Vanessa chuckles with a dry amusement.

Where you locked me away because you were too afraid to face me. To embrace me. I am the other half of you, Vanessa.)
