PAST AND PRESENT (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 27

I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, MEYERS AND L.J. SMITH OWN THEM ALL. I ONLY OWN THE PLOT, THE EVENTS THAT GO WITH IT, ZOEY, AND SAM.

BELLA'S POV

I was waiting for Elena to come out of the building so that we could talk. I was just sitting on my hood when a guy that Stefan told me was Elena's little brother Jeremy, came up to me.

"Hey you're the new girl right?" He asked me.

"Ya."

"My friends are making me ask you this, but will you go out with me?" He's a stoner, no wonder, he smells like that. Seems like it was more of an excuse than a dare.

"I'm sure you're a great guy, but I have a boyfriend."

"Thought you'd say something like that. Anyway can I ask you something else?" Knew it.

"Um, sure?"

"What's you're relation with Stefan?"

"Stefan's my brother."

"Thanks, I was a bit worried about my sister getting hurt and all." That's good, even when he's stoned he's protective of his sister.

"It's no big deal. I completely understand." He smiled at me and went back to his friends.

"I'm sorry if he bothered you." Elena stopped in front of me.

"It's no big deal. He's just worried about his sister. It's understandable and completely normal." She laughed.

We go in my car and for a moment it was silent, that is before she decided to speak first. And that what I was waiting for.

"Are you a vampire like him?"

"Ya, I am. But there's something I want to tell you about vampires." She glanced at me waiting for me to continue.

"There are different types of vampires, which means there are different methods to killing those vampires. But to be safe they are all later burned with fire. Fire kills all vampires." She nodded.

"Really?" She asked.

"Really."

I knew there was a place we could walk around and not be heard, it was a place you could hang out and there would be shade, so it wouldn't be too hot.

I drove there.

 

Arriving there I parked the car and waited for Elena to get out so we can talk.

"Bella, can I ask you something? You don't have to answer if you don't want to." We started walking.

"Hit me."

"Why do I look exactly like Katherine?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I didn't believe Stefan when he told me, but when I saw you. Well the proof was right there in front of me. If I knew I would tell, but neither Stefan or I know the answer to your question. Although I think it has something to do with a spell, someone before Katherine was apart of it and they looked like her. So the only way to break it is to use someone who looks like that person, but they only come once every hundred years."

She nodded, "Am I anything like her?'' She sounded scared. And I think I know why.

I stopped walking, and so did she.

"No, you're absolutely nothing like her. Which is why I like you. Unlike her you don't trick people." I answered.

She looked confused. So I explained.

"Stefan never loved Katherine, she compelled him to feel that way about her. It was against his will. Katherine is one of those people who would sell you out if it saved them from dying or getting caught. She plays tricks with your mind, trying her best to confuse you. If she has a plan, and she always does, you don't know what it is until she wants you to."

"So she can't be trusted?"

"Ya she can't, but she's a thousand times worse. I'm not trying to scare you, believe me I'm not like that. But I can read people's faces perfectly, call it a gift. The look on my brother's face when he looks at you, is the same way my husband looks at me."

"How does he look at you?"

"The only way I can explain it is strange, but it makes sense."

"Okay." She was completely confused.

"When you look at Stefan, I can see how much you care for him, how you would do anything you possibly could for him. You love him am I right?''

"Ya, I do love him."

I smiled, knew it.

"When you look at him your face expresses your love for him, when he looks at you it's the same way. Some times we're all to stupid or dumb to notice it at first, but after sometime you see it."

"You seem like your talking from experience." She said.

"She is." I turned to look at Edward. Where did he come from?

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"My wife doesn't come home after school and Stefan's no where to be found, and you expect to just sit and wait. Like you would do the same." I laughed. I turned to Elena.

"Elena this my husband Edward, Edward meet Elena."

They shook hands.

"Pleasure." Edward said. Always the gentleman.

"Likewise." Knew I liked her.

We talked some more, while Edward stayed a good distance away, not listening. I had to threaten him a little, but eventually he gave in.

I noticed it was almost dark, "I better get you home."

"Actually I was wondering if I could go home with you and talk to Stefan." I smiled.

"Sure. C'mon." Edward came to my side, as if called.

We walked to the car in silence, each to our own thoughts.

I let Edward drive my car, and sat in the back with Elena, just talking and getting to know each other a little better.

Edward parked in front of the house and helped both me and Elena out. I used my powers to help Jasper control his thirst. He was better at it, but he still needed a little help, nothing Elena couldn't help change.

Before we even reached the door Alice came running out hugging Elena, and scaring the shit out of her.

"It's so nice to finally meet you. We are going to have so much fun together."

"Alice chill, don't scare the hell out of her." Edward said.

"Elena this is my sister-in-law Alice Cullen, Alice can see the future. She's one of those different vampires, but I love her anyway." Alice stuck her tongue out at me.

"Nice to meet you Alice." Elena seemed more comfortable with us now.

We walked into the house, going in the living room.
