Bella's Pov

My eyes fluttered open and several faces surrounded every open space. Eyes looking anxious towards me, and everyone had a hopeful expression. The mood of the room was tense but had a coating of relief, for some unknown reason.

" Who are you guys?" My voice surprised me in the slightest way. It sounded to pure and angelic to belong to myself. I turned my focus away from the stares- that became far too uncomfortable for me. I flexed my fingertips, but it felt uneasy with nameless faces staring at me. I turned back to the faces and cocked an eyebrow at them. They seem to have the same expression as before, shock with relief folded over them.

Their was one specific person that kept a painful mask on his face. Like me not knowing them caused him greater pain than being burned alive. He lips twitched slightly as if not knowing what to say. He moved his two feet away from me and stood back by the far back window, his back facing me- as well as the others that occupied this overly crowded room.

" Momma?" A girl with bronze hair pleaded, and looked straight at me. I turned around to make sure their was another person behind me, but found no one idling there. Confusion flooded through me as I stated into the girls muddy brown eyes.

" Are you talking to me?" I questioned confusedly as I robotically sat up awaiting an answer.

" Who else would I be talking to?" The girl sounded as if she would have been chuckling at the end of that comment; though upon seeing my facial expression, in nothing but flabbergast and confusion, she stopped herself from doing so.

I looked down at myself and considered that I was too young to be a mother. My physical features seemed to be only a little bit older than the bronze headed girl in front of me. Is she in the wrong room? Are they all in the wrong room?

" Bella how are you? " A small girl who had pixie like featured started to ask. Her eyebrows were raised and she cocked her head to the side. Why was she looking at me like that? Like I was something that needed to be put under a microscope.

" Why are you looking at me like that?" Her stare, alongside with the others, started to make me queasy. Yet the beauty that they had was undenying. The way the man with bronze hair graciously glided towards the window was something that was not to be missed. Their eye color was a golden- which kept me mesmerized. But I was not the only one being mesmerized- they wouldn't leave their eyes off me for a second.

" Bella?" She called out again, I am guessing to get me out of my trance. But who could blame me; if you see gorgeous people standing before you, your going to end up starting at them for at least a few hours.

It's a must.

" Yes?" I turned back to her, squinting my eyes a little to see her better. Her beauty was too magnified that I had myself staring at her with a dumbfound face.

" I don't know how I am. But I have a quick question, how do you know me?" I do not remember meeting them in my time of being in Phoenix, Arizona with my mom or with the first time I stepped foot in my dad, Charlie's, house. Their faces puckers ever so slightly, but before any information is brought to the surface, a very middle aged doctor strode into the room.
