The Swan Twins / Twilight

"Come on Bella! Dad's here!"

Elena was ready to go to school but somehow Bella wasn't.

"Okay I'm coming." Bella walked down the stairs in her usual long sleeve and jeans before grabbing her jacket and placing it on her.

"Do you always have to look so nice?" Bella looked her sister up and down.

"Duh. Otherwise who would be the fashionable one?" Elena laughed and grabbed her green jacket before following her sister to the door.

Elena thought she had dressed pretty simple today. She was wearing a plain white long sleeve shirt with blue jeans. She had a plaid scarf around her neck and a red beanie on her curly hair.

As soon as Elena closed the door she heard something sound like it was falling and immediately turned to Bella and caught her before she hit the ground. "Really Bella?" Elena hoisted her sister back up and started to pay down Bella's jeans making sure they didn't get dirty.

"Ice doesn't really help the uncoordinated." Bella spoke as Charlie ran up to them to make sure they were okay.

"Yeah, that's why I had some new tires put on the truck." He walked the girls over to the truck and slightly kicked the tires. "Old ones were getting pretty bald. Well, I'll probably be late for dinner. Gotta head down to Mason County, security guard at the Grisham mill got killed by some kind of animal." Charlie started walking to his car when his daughters called out to him.

"Animal?" The girls asked.

"You girls aren't in Phoenix anymore. Anyway I figured I'd lend a hand." He started to get in the police cruiser before he was stopped again by the twins.

"Dad?" Both girls called.

"Just be careful." Bella told her father.

"Always am Bella." He smiled slightly and left for work.

The day went by pretty fast for Elena. She had done her homework the day she got it and now she had more to do. She couldn't wait to get home and finish it because the faster she did the faster she could spend time at the Cullen house.

Over the last two weeks she had been spending a decent amount of time with the Cullen family minus Edward who had yet to return from visiting his distant family.

She had gotten a lot closer to everyone because Alice and Rosalie kept stealing her away from Bella after school to take Elena to their house. They'd do their homework and eat and watch whatever Emmett decided was worthy enough for them to watch.

Elena had also gotten more closer to Jasper which excited her. She knew she was developing a crush on him but didn't exactly know if he and Alice were a thing officially or not. They were always next to each other but like Jessica said they never acted in love or anything.

If they were however together Elena would be sad but she'd never want to ruin her friendship with the Cullen family. But, a piece of her felt like she was okay to have this crush on him and it not affect her friendship with anyone.

"Elena." Emmett called to the girl who had just entered the student lot. The big teenager was waving his hands in the air trying to get her attention causing Elena to laugh loudly.

"Emmett!" She yelled back as she made her way over to the family.

"Elena this is the brother you haven't met yet. Edward Cullen." Emmett put his arm around the girl and turned her around to where she was facing the guy her sister was infatuated with.

"Hi. I'm Elena Swan." She waved slightly.

"As my brother introduced me already, I'm Edward Cullen. It's nice to meet you." He smiled for a second before his attention switched to someone across the lot.

"Elena! I bought some new outfits last weekend and I need you to come over and help me chose what goes good with what. Okay?" Alice stole Elena from Emmett and she stood in between her and Jasper.

"Alice don't you have enough clothes already?" Jasper laughed.

"That is none of your business. Stay out of my room." She smacked him lightly on the arm. Elena heard a loud slap and she couldn't help but cringe at the sound and turn to Jasper who was hit.

"I'm okay Elena. She doesn't hit that hard." He laughed when he saw the Swan girl's expression.

"I'll show you just how hard I can hit." Alice raised her arm up before she froze in her place.

"Alice?" Elena waves her hand in front of her face trying to get her attention back.

A loud screech was heard. Elena quickly turned her head because it sounded like tires against the ice on the ground. She immediately noticed a big van hurtling towards her sister.

"Bella!" Elena screamed before dropping her backpack and running towards her sister. The second she took a step away from the Cullens someone wrapped their arms around her.

"She'll be fine." He whispered in her ear. He placed her backpack in her hands after he heard the sound of the van hitting the truck.

She pushed out of Jasper's grip with everything she had and ran to check on her twin sister. The entire school body along with her. Elena just happened to be the fastest. She hopped over the hood of the van and ended up in front of her sister.

Once Elena saw that Bella was unharmed she also noticed the big dent in Tyler's van. That part of the van didn't hit anything so of course Elena was wondering exactly what happened.

She tossed her bag into the bed of the truck and helped her sister up. "Bella! Are you okay?" Elena turned out all of the students along with her sister.

"I think so." Bella was in a state of shock.

"I'm sorry Bella! I panicked!" Tyler popper his head out of the window but Elena glared at him not wanting to hear him talk after what he did to her only sister.

"I've got 911 on the phone. They're on their way." A girl came up to the twins and explained.

Elena's mind immediately wandered to her friends especially the one who tried to hold her back. That truck should've hit Bella straight on. How did it stop? What made it stop? How did Jasper know she was going to be okay?

Elena stopped looking around when she saw two cars driving away as quickly as possible. Where were they going? Elena though her friends would be around to help make sure her sister was okay but they left.

Why?
