The Impossible Girl

Three

I'm at home. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Love you.

Bella sighed in relief when her sister finally texted her back. She rubbed her face with her hands while Edward rubbed her back. It was lunch. Edward, Bella, Rosalie and Emmett were all sitting at their usual table.

"Edward, do you know what happened?" Rosalie asked.

"Jasper's mind was a million miles a minute. From what I could pick up, he knew her. He met her a long time ago."

"How long ago?" Emmett asked.

Edward was quiet for just a moment. "From his human years."

"Wow, I knew she was older than most, but..." Bella muttered.

Edward turns to his mate. "You knew she was over one hundred years old?"

"Well, I didn't know she was that old, but yes," Bella shrugged.

"She's human. How is she still alive?" Rosalie wondered.

"She's cursed. That's what she calls it. When she turned 24, she stopped aging," Bella informed.

Edward's phone dinged. He checked it swiftly and his brows furrowed.

Family meeting. Now. Bring Bella.

-Alice

"Let's go. Alice wants a family meeting," Edward called.

They successfully sneaked away from the cafeteria and to their cars.

Marrisa was wandering about the house. She hoped Charlie wouldn't notice the destruction that she couldn't hide. She raked her hand through her long hair, sighing. She figured the vampires would be giving Bella the third degree. She didn't mind if Bella told them her secret, she knew they would find out sooner or later.

Upstairs, Marrisa was walking down the hall, when she tripped over a loose floorboard.

"Shit," she groaned, cradling her elbow.

She saw a small glimmer from inside the darkness. Something was hidden underneath... she pried open the panel as much as she could. A small, tin box was what she pulled out. A plain silver with a piece of paper taped to the lid. 'Memories'.

Hesitantly, she opened it. She was surprised when she found old pictures of her and Jasper. That's right, she had hidden this when Charlie and Reneè first took her in. She flipped through the pictures, tearing up when pictures of Melody started to show.

She wiped her tears and organized the pictures back. She was going to have to tell Jasper.

Bella and all the vampires sat together in the Cullen home, listening to the story of Marrisa and Jasper.

"Alice isn't your mate?" Edward was shocked.

"No, Marrisa is. I just didn't remember anything about her until I saw her again," Jasper said.

"Bella, Charlie is going to ask questions when you and Marrisa get back home. When she got home, she..." Alice trailed off.

"Disintegrated the house?" Bella grinned.

Alice giggled. "More or less. She's also going to be coming over soon."

"What?" Jasper demanded.

"She has something important to tell us, especially you, Jasper. I just can't see what. I just texted her our address and how to get here." Alice announced.
