The next day, after school, Bella and Anna stood side by side against the ute. Bella was reading a novel with an earphone in her ear while Anna was reading through her journals new entries from the day of classes that seemed to drag on for her. The twins were trying to relax after a day of stress catching up to the others, thankfully they were almost caught up completely.

"Yo, Bella! Anna!" Eric called to the twins with a playful smirk but the twins simply showcased the books in hand with sheepish smiles causing Eric to frown before looking at their crowd of friends. Anna let out a sigh as her head pounded slightly, she put her journal into her bag and put it into the car before rubbing her temples.

The sudden screeching of wheels against icy roads caught her attention, both Anna and Bella looked up to see Tyler's van lose control. Anna's eyes widened in fear when she was suddenly pulled into someone's chest protectively, her heart was pounding in her chest despite the lack of air in her lungs.

Slowly, Anna began to pull away from the person before looking up at their face - Sky meets Earth. Anna swallowed slowly as she realized Jasper had pulled her to safety from the potentially life-threatening incident resulting in being crushed by her best friend's van ─ which was not on her list of acceptable ways to die.

And like reality snapped back, Anna remembered her sister was standing next to her. "Bella!" Anna gasped as she turned to her sister but she froze, not from seeing that she was okay and in the arms of Edward, but the dent in the side of the van that matched her drawing from the day before.

"Dial 911!" Someone shouted as Jasper hesitantly let go of Anna, he walked away with Edward, their foster siblings watching carefully before they all got into their cars. "I already called. They're gonna send somebody over soon," Angela's voice was clear to Anna as she stared at the dent, her hand in Bella's.

"Bella, Trouble... I'm so sorry. I panicked," Tyler pleaded with a guilty expression, Anna mustered up a small smile to assure him they were okay. "It's okay, Ty. You're the one hurt," Anna told him as she finally stood up and opened his door, helping him out of the van carefully before checking the open wound on his head.

Anna sat on the bed next to her sister in the hospital, Tyler sat on the opposing bed to them being looked at by a nurse after Anna had to calm him down enough to let the nurse do her job. He had been sitting with a guilty expression on his face the whole time, the sight was painful for Anna because it wasn't his fault.

"Girls, are you both okay?" Charlie asked as he walked into the room, a slight glare was sent to Tyler. "You and I are gonna talk," Charlie warned Tyler ─ Anna didn't like it. "Dad! We're fine. Calm down," Anna told him, Charlie calmed down instantly. "I'm sorry, Trouble, Bella... I tried to stop," Tyler pleaded once again, the guilt returning after Anna finally calmed it.

"We know. It's okay," Bella replied to him with Anna nodding along with her. "No. It sure as hell is not okay," Charlie instantly stated in his fatherly tone. "Dad, it wasn't his fault," Anna defended in a harsh tone you wouldn't usually hear from her. "You could've been killed. You understand that?" Charlie snapped back, unaffected by her harsh tone.

"Yes. But we weren't!" Anna argued with him as a sudden wave of calm washed over her, she took a deep breath and let herself calm down. "You can kiss your license goodbye," Charlie told Tyler causing Anna to roll her eyes before tiredly resting her head on Bella's shoulder, who in turn rested her head on Anna's.

"I heard the chief's daughters were here," A flawless doctor spoke as he walked into the room, Anna smiled softly. "Dr Cullen," Charlie greeted him causing the twins to sit up straight. "Charlie," Dr Cullen greeted back. "I've got these two, Jackie," Dr Cullen told the woman in the room. "Isabella and Annabeth," Dr Cullen greeted them.

"Bella / Anna," The twins corrected in unison, the response left an amused smile on Dr Cullen's face. "Well, Bella and Anna, looks like you both took quite a spill. How do you feel?" Dr Cullen asked them. "Good," The twins answered. "Look here," Dr Cullen instructed Bella before shining the light in her eyes.

"Anna," Dr Cullen instructed with a nod before doing the same to Anna. "You both might experience some post-traumatic stress or disorientation, but your vitals look good. No signs of head trauma," Dr Cullen explained as he stepped back. "I think you'll both be just fine," Dr Cullen assured them with a kind smile.

"I'm so sorry, Trouble. I'm really-" Tyler pleaded to his best friend before being cut off by Charlie pulling the curtain closed between them. "You know, it would've been a whole lot worse if Edward or Jasper wasn't there. They knocked us out of the way," Bella told them as Anna sighed, she still wasn't sure what to make of the situation knowing they were across the parking lot; a theory playing in mind.

"Edward? Jasper? Your boys?" Charlie asked Dr Cullen who seemed to falter slightly at the mention. "Yeah, it was amazing," Bella added as Anna grabbed her hand. "We're just grateful they had gotten there in time," Anna spoke before sending Bella a look, Anna had picked up on Dr Cullen's hesitance. "I mean, they got to us so fast. They were nowhere near us," Bella continued, letting go of Anna's hand.

"Sounds like you were both very lucky," Dr Cullen told them, sending a grateful smile to Anna who had attempted to change the conversation. "Charlie," Dr Cullen nodded to him before making his way out of the room. "I gotta go sign some paperwork. You should... You should probably call your mom," Charlie told the twins who both sighed at his words.

Anna had stepped away from Bella to call their mother ─ after volunteering to inform Renée that they were indeed okay. After spending almost seven minutes reassuring Renée that they were fine, Anna made her way towards the entrance of the hospital where Bella told her to meet her after the phone call that Bella didn't want to make.

She was trapped within her thoughts; Ocher eyes, cold hands, moves quickly from a distance and with enough strength to stop a van with a single hand. But it couldn't be what Anna thought it was because they didn't have those horrific blood-red eyes that seemed to drown you in fear. She wasn't sure what to make of it but she trusted she would know when fate decided it was time for her to know.

"Anna?" Jasper's voice pulled her from her thoughts as she stumbled on her own feet. "Hey, Jasper... Uh, thank you for today," Anna told him straight away, her mind roaming through a thousand and one questions about it, but not a single one slipped from her lips because she knew ─ deep down ─ she already knew the truth.

"You don't need to thank me, Anna. I'm just happy that you are alright," Jasper replied as he looked her over for any injuries that Dr Cullen could've missed, despite knowing that his father would've spotted any wounds. "Welp, I already did and I won't take it back," Anna told him, her cheeky persona appearing naturally as she smiled brightly up at him.

"Well then, I accept your thanks, ma'am," Jasper replied with a small smirk as he watched Anna's cheeks flush red, her heart racing in her chest as she bit her bottom lip nervously. Her whole body responded in such a flattering way that Jasper had to fight his urge to pull her into his arms and kiss those lips he can't seem to stop thinking about, much to Edward's distaste.

Jasper was convinced that if he could sleep ─ if he could dream ─ Anna would be the only focus his mind cared about. She'd be in every dream, in every nightmare, in every thought. The blonde woman standing in front of him was consuming every ounce of his being, And he was accepting the defeat.

"What did I say about calling me "ma'am"?" Anna asked him in a soft voice, the tone made Jasper swoon as he stepped closer despite Rosalie and Edward's eyes on them. "My apologies, Darlin'," Jasper whispered to her. The reaction to his words was everything and more to him as her knees seemed to shake, threatening to buckle right then and there. The emotions swirling through Anna were new and unique and she never wanted them to fade.

"Jasper!" Edward called gaining both Anna and Jasper's attention, the two clearly unimpressed with the interruption. "I've got to go," Jasper told her before brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I understand. Thank you... again," Anna told him before she made her way past Rosalie and Edward, sending them both a shy smile before heading out to meet with Bella.

"He tried to gaslight you?" Anna asked Bella as the two sat on Bella's bed, an ice cream tub between them. "Yeah! He went on to tell me that he was next to us and that I must've hit head my head," Bella told her before scooping some ice cream onto her spoon, shoving it into her mouth with a frown. "Then what happened?" Anna asked Bella enjoying smaller scoops of the double choc ice cream.

"Then I confronted him about the dent in the van, which was caused by his own hand and he claimed no one would believe me anyway," Bella rambled with an annoyed sigh. "And then I said I wouldn't tell anyone ─ besides you, of course ─ and that I just wanted to know the truth," Bella continued before looking at Anna who had a small encouraging smile on her face.

"And how did he handle that?" Anna asked her after another scoop of ice cream that melted sweetly in her mouth. "He said, "Can't you just thank me and get over it?" Like as if he didn't just ─ I don't know ─ supernaturally saved my life," Bella gritted out before running her hand through her hair. "I mean... I get it. Maybe it's better and safer for us not to know," Anna told her with a shrug.

Bella furrowed her brows before looking at her younger twin, "You didn't question Jasper?" Anna swallowed her scoop of ice cream before sighing, deciding she had enough ice cream. "Trust me... I had a million and one questions that I wanted to ask him but... I couldn't. If he wants me to know, then he'll tell me," Anna answered Bella with a slight frown.

Besides, I have quite the idea of what exactly they are, Anna thought to herself before closing the lid on the ice cream tub. "Trust me, the curiosity is drowning me like the chaotic waves of a stormy ocean but... forcing an answer will only create distance between two people, if we're meant to know then we'll know," Anna explained to Bella before taking the tub downstairs, slipping it back into the freezer.

Anna sighed before she headed back upstairs, she looked towards the bathroom after hearing the shower turn on, Bella had decided to have a shower. Anna walked into her room and closed the door behind her, leaning back against it with a sigh. She took a moment to let her mind wander before she walked over to her bedside drawers, pulling open the top drawer where a few journals sat.

She pulled out the bottom one before opening to a bookmarked page, a Polaroid photo fell into her hand, two people stood with cheeky smiles on their faces. "Wherever you are, G. I miss you and I hope you are keeping out of trouble," Anna whispered smiling down at the photo of herself and an older brunette man with bright blood-red eyes.

She slipped the photo back in between the pages, closing the journal and slipping it back into its place. Once Bella left the bathroom, Anna headed in to have a nice relaxing hot shower before she'd go to bed. Unknown to her, a blond ocher-eyed man stood outside her home focusing on the soothing melody that Anna sang while under the water, her existence calming him and the monster inside.

Rosemary Speaks

Jasper and Anna, the understanding couple.
We love people who don't push for answers.
And Anna hates pushing people unless she knows its a life or death situation.

Also, considering how many supernatural beings exist, the idea of a person not bumping into at least one before is a bit silly to me; so yes, Anna knows about the Supernatural world but she's not completely well versed in it.

See you next chapter!
