Re: Bella Swan's Brother

[WhiteAuthor]

Complete darkness. That was all Alex could see around him, or rather, what he felt.

He didn't have a body, it was like he was merely existing, as if he was both nothing and something at the same time.

'How long has it been? Months? Years?' Alex thought to himself, sighing inwardly as he started remembering how he had ended up in this place.

It had been a regular day, he had been heading to college on a bus when it had happened.

The tires of the bus had lost friction with the road for a single moment and that had led the bus to start swerving towards the right. This wouldn't have been enough to land Alex in his current position however as his luck would have it.

He had been seated right in the middle of the bus, towards the right window. And that was exactly where a truck had hit. The man behind the wheel had tried however it had been too late, the bus swerve had been too unexpected and his own speed had been too high.

'Thankfully it wasn't painful, I think i got crushed instantly.' Alex thought to himself.

More time passed, more thoughts gathered in his mind and then proceeded to be forgotten, it was like a limbo state of sorts.

Until finally after an unknown period. His eyes opened.

'I opened my eyes?' Alex thought confused as he stared at an unfamiliar ceiling on top of him.

At the same time, he felt it, his senses returning quickly, first it was touch, the feeling of something soft, likely a bed under him.

Next it was the sense of hearing, the sounds of bird chirps coming from outside the window to his right.

And finally the sense of smell, he smelled the earth, the wooden planks, the trees outside, the morning dew.

It was familiar, to his previous senses before he had lost them however at the same time, it was different, completely different.

'What the fuck is going on?' Alex thought to himself as he rose up from where he was laid down on the bed.

Looking around he quickly took in the room.

A small desk with an old 2000s computer on top of it. A wooden chair next to the desk, looking work and used, likely years old.

There was a large window on the right side of the small room, two large curtains framed its sides and through the window one could see a dense green forest, still dripping with water from a rain that had likely ended just a bit earlier.

There was a small closet next to the bed and a bunch of drawers next to that.

Walking towards the desk, Alex quickly looked around for anything, that might help him realise where he was.

Opening the drawer right under the desk, he found a turned down picture, taking it in his hands and flipping it. He was met with a picture of himself, or rather a picture of when he had been a child.

However he didn't recognise the people next to him or the background and more importantly, he never remembered having taking that picture.

'Did they photoshop this? No in the first place i dont think i even have any pictures of when i was a kid, most of them got lost when my phone broke. And it looks too real, too identical to me.' Alex thought to himself in confusion as he gently put the picture down onto the desk.

It was at this moment that he heard a sound or rather a voice coming from outside the room, likely from downstairs.

"Alex! Are you ready yet? We're heading to school and its our first day!" The voice called out.

'Feminine, a woman. Going to school? First day?' Alex quickly thought as he turned towards the closed door before turning around once more and scrambling through the desk drawers, managing to find a small box cutter and instantly grabbing it before turning towards the door once more.

'Okay, school. Likely Highschool judging by my body right now. First day, means i transferred unless this kid is one of those hollywood movie gene kids.' Alex thought to himself quickly before shaking his head to clear his mind.

'That doesn't matter right now. I need more information on what exactly is going on, and how to deal with that voice outside. I could stay in here and wait until they come here or i could walk there myself.' Alex thought as he turned towards the closet.

'Right, getting ready. Im currently wearing pajama.' With that thought in mind, Alex quickly opened the closet doors.

Inside he found dozens of black and white shirts, a few leather jackets and a few sweaters and hoodies. On the lower part of the closet, there were a few blue, black and gray jeans aswell as three sets of sweatpants.

Deciding to just get anything, Alex quickly took a pair of black jeans, a black turtleneck and one of the black leather jackets.

Wearing them as quickly as he could, Alex finally turned to the mirror that had been glued to the inside of the closet door. Looking at himself, it was like he was looking at a younger version with a few changes.

First it was his skin, it was white, but not regular white, it was extreme white, like his skin was made of white marble.

His hair had similarly changed, before it had been pure black however now he could notice that it was just a very dark shade of brown and his eyes were similar.

'Should i even be able to notice such a minute change in hair colour?' Alex thought to himself, feeling a slight wrongness but deciding it was nothing…

Turning around, he headed to the door and opened it slowly, as softly as he could.

And yet…

*Creeeekkk*

'I knew it.' Alex thought as he released a deep sigh and simply opened the door quickly.

Before him was a small hall with a staircase leading down to his left and a door right at the end of the hall and one right infront of the staircase.

'Let's just head downstairs for now, this looks like a regular house, don't want to head inside a bedroom and cause a problem when i don't even know where i am.' Alex quickly thought as he walked down the stair case.

And there, right infront of him, she stood.

At the end of the stair case.

Brown long hair, Brown eyes.

White pearly skin.

'Why does she… why does she look like Bella Swan?'

 

[WhiteAuthor]

'Why does she… Why does she look like Bella Swan?' Alex thought to himself as he gazed at the teen girl in front of him with pure shock, however he managed to not change his expression, at least maintaining a slight ability to control himself at the world shaking reveal he had just gotten.

"Bella?" Alex asked his voice soft, it was a test, a test to see if he was actually correct in his assumption.

"Yeah Alex? Are you ready yet? I really don't want to be late for my first class." Bella replied as she gazed up at him, her expression showed slight confusion at Alex.

"Right, first class. Yeah, I'm ready." Alex replied as he started walking before he saw Bella looking at him with a different expression altogether.

'Is she looking at me like I'm a dumbass?' Alex thought for a moment.

"Ready? Where's your backpack?" Bella asked with a tone that clearly told a history of pure annoyance as she looked at Alex, one of her eyes twitching just slightly.

"Right. I forgot." Alex said as he quickly turned around and ran up the stairs towards his bedroom.

'I totally forgot about the backpack, I was a total dropout in college who never even brought his backpack at all.' Alex thought inwardly with a grimace as he looked around the small room he had woken up in.

Quickly enough a black backpack caught his eye, it was seated on the right side of the desk on the ground.

Quickly grabbing it and slinging it over his shoulder, Alex started walking downstairs.

"Where's Charlie?" Alex asked as he arrived downstairs, to see Bella already tying her shoes at the front door.

"He headed to work early, around an hour ago I think." Bella replied as she raised her head to look at the clock on the wall just above the dining table.

Turning around towards the clock, Alex quickly read the time before walking to the shoe drawer to get his own pair.

'It's seven am, classes likely start at eight, Charlie left at six for work, so he likely woke up at around five am, it's useful to at least know his work schedule. Now the real important question is… which ones are my shoes damned it.' Alex thought to himself as he looked at four pairs of shoes in front of him.

'Please let it be the Nikes, let it be the air force ones.' Alex thought as he grabbed the Nikes, ignoring the rest which either looked too small, likely for females or the ones that looked too old and out of fashion.

Starting to tie his shoes, Alex waited for Bella to ask him why he was wearing Charlie's shoes however the question never arrived.

'Thank god.' Alex thought to himself as he released a soft inward sigh of relief.

With his shoes tied, the two quickly opened the front door and headed outside.

There Alex saw the small parking lot in front of the house as well as the famous orange chevy.

'That thing has probably had fanfictions written just for it at some point in time.' Alex thought to himself, releasing a soft chuckle as he walked to the passenger side and hopped inside, dropping the backpack at his feet before trying to close the door.

*Bang*

It didn't close.

*Baang*

Still didn't work.

Finally using all his strength, he slammed it, finally closing it properly.

"Shitty ass door." Alex murmured to himself as he turned to face the front only to notice Bella staring at him like he was a mad man.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"Nothing, I've just never heard you say any curse words before." Bella said as she closed her own door with a slam and turned the ignition key.

'He never said anything? What the hell? Shitty isnt even a curse word. Just what was the old owner of this body doing.' Alex thought to himself before shaking his head to clear his thoughts as the car started reversing onto the road.

'First of all, I need to hope that Edward can't read my mind. If he can? Well that complicates things, though I don't think I'd end up dead, but even then i need to be careful, this is the real world, not some fictional book, the characters i read about could act completely different. Like her for example.' Alex thought as he gazed at Bella who was driving with a scowl from the edge of his eye.

'The Bella from the books is awkward with others, the movie one even more so, yet this one clearly acts normally with me. Of course this could be just because of this body's relation to her as her brother, however it's still better to be on the careful side of things.' Alex thought as he gazed outside the window at the passing scenery.

It didn't take long, only around twenty five minutes for the two of them to arrive at the Forks High school Parking Lot using the old Chevy.

Driving into the lot, the grating sound of the chevy quickly gathered the attention of the entire student base as around a hundred or so people turned around to gaze towards them.

Bella looked like she wanted to kill herself as she drove into an empty parking space.

'I want to kill myself aswell, but at the same time, this chevy is a damn beast.' Alex thought as his lips twitched upwards at the sound the truck was making. It was so loud that it felt like the air was going to vibrate.

'Is it sounding even louder because of my anxiety?' Alex thought as he couldn't stop himself and released a soft chuckle.

'Well then, here I come… Forks Highschool.'

 

[WhiteAuthor]

'Well then, here I come… Forks High School.' Alex thought as he opened the car door, grabbing his backpack at his feet and getting out before slinging the backpack over his left shoulder and slamming the door closed.

"So this is where we will be studying for the next year." Alex mumbled as he looked around, seeing the hundreds or so students staring at him.

"Why are they looking at us as if we are a different species?" Bella mumbled awkwardly as she walked next to Alex.

"Small towns, they most likely never get transfer students, not to mention transfers in the middle of the year." Alex replied softly as he started walking towards the front entrance of the High school.

Looking around him, he saw the different cars parked around them.

'It really is 2005, certainly a different mood altogether, most of them are actually talking with each other and not holed up in their phones and not to mention the cars, they're all… quite old.' Alex thought to himself as he walked, Bella strutting close to him looking like she wanted to hide in a hole and never be seen again.

'Now she's acting similarly to how she did in the books, so the changes aren't that large. It's just how she acts towards me, I didn't have a point of reference since Bella didn't have a brother before.' Alex thinks to himself as he swings the front doors open and heads inside the school.

In front of them is a small booth of sorts with a secretary inside.

"That should be where we're headed, to get our schedules." Alex mumbled to Bella who was practically glued to his side.

"Yeah, alright let's just get going Alex. I just want to get this over with and hope they stop staring once they realise I'm just a regular girl." Bella replies as she walks ahead finally.

'Yeah sorry, that's not really happening, you're going to be the talk of the town for quite the long while.' Alex thought inwardly as he released a soft sigh, barely audible from the clamour of students around them as he walked towards the booth, following behind Bella.

"Hello ma'am. We're Bella and Alex Swan, the new transfer students." Bella spoke first as she stood in front the booth, behind which sat a small middle aged woman.

"Ah the new transfers Isabella and Alexander Swan. Children of Police Chief Charlie right?" The woman said with a smile as she grabbed a bunch of documents that had been put to the side on the desk in front of her.

"Yes, a pleasure." Alex replied as he gave a soft nod towards the woman.

"Well then, without making you two wait, here's the schedules as well as a map to find you way." The woman said as she placed four paper sheets in front of them. Two were schedules, one for each and two maps of the school as well.

Alex quickly grabbed one of each for himself, looking at the schedule, he turned towards Bella only to see the schedule on her hand was the exact same as his.

'Did they choose the same classes? The old Alex and Bella that is. Or is this just a coincidence? It's still weird in a way, getting the exact same schedule.' Alex thought to himself as he folded the schedule and slipped it into his jean pockets before looking at the map of the school he had been given.

"Do you know how to read a map, Bell?" Alex asks as he lifts his gaze from the map to Bella who was looking at him with an awkward expression of her own.

"Totally." Bella replied however her tone of voice didn't give much confidence to her words.

"Right… let's just hope that we don't miss the entire class." Alex replied with a soft sigh as he prepared himself.

It was at this moment as they were walking away from the booth towards one of the hallways that they got interrupted by someone.

It was a short asian boy with black greasy hair and olive skin tone, he had a smile on his face as he looked at Alex and Bella.

"Hey there, Name's Eric Yorkie, You're Isabella and Alexander Swan right?" The boy, Eric introduced himself as he extended his hand towards Bella.

"We prefer Bella and Alex. But yes nice to meet you Eric." Bella replied as she shook his hand.

"Do you two mind if I did a feature on you two for the school newspaper? Bella and Alex Swan: The New Thing." Eric said in an overly excited voice though it was clearly slightly forced.

'He's slightly awkward, pushing himself to appear more extroverted than his is. This guy clearly is the book version of Eric instead of his movie version.' Alex thought to himself with a soft hum before focusing on the matter at hand.

"No, We would prefer if you didn't, Eric, we aren't really the type that enjoy the attention. You can make a paper about how two new students transferred, however keep our names or pictures out of it." Alex replied as he shook his head to the boy's question.

"Ah I see, that's alright, thanks for letting me at least mention you. Where are you guys headed?" Eric asks curiously.

"Trigonometry is our first class, but we're totally lost." Alex replies with a shrug and a slight awkward smile of his own.

"I could totally show you guys the way, I have trig for first class as well." Eric replies with a quick nod of his head, his energy seemed contagious for a moment as Alex chuckled and gave a nod.

"Sure, that would help a lot Eric." Alex replied as he shook Eric's hand.

Bella who was next to him similarly gave a nod.

 

[WhiteAuthor]

A few hours later, Bella and Alex were walking down the hallways of the high school heading towards the cafeteria.

'The previous classes were Trigonometry, which honestly was quite easy, we only covered the basics, however I still was stressed, new world and shit and the first thing in the morning is math.' Alex thought to himself as he released an inward sigh, dodging the students that had filled the hallways as he walked.

Next to Bella and Alex walking was a girl they had met during that class who had sat next to the two. Jessica Stanley.

'Jessica is honestly less annoying as they make her out to be in the books, she just seems like a regular high school girl. Though I guess the only reason people portrayed her that badly in the fandom was because she talked behind Cullen's back, however she's just a teen, not really the end of the world, I'd call it regular behaviour.' Alex thought as he looked at the girl walking next to Bella to his right.

The girl was a bit shorter than Bella, she had dark curly hair, a dark brown, similar to her eyes. She wore clothes that clearly appeared more fashionable than most of the students around here in Forks and it was quite obvious that she was an extrovert, one just had to look at how she walked and talked.

'Bubbly, yet slightly jealous inside. Overall? Harmless.' Alex thought to himself as he turned his gaze towards the front once more.

'Our second class was Spanish, which I never learned in my past life, so I'm most likely either failing or barely passing. This could be a bit annoying if the Alex who inhibited this body was previously good at Spanish, however I can just chalk it up to me no longer caring about my grades.' Alex thought as the trio finally arrived at the doors of the cafeteria.

Students could be seen constantly heading inside or leaving, making getting in quite the hassle.

"It's quite busy, I'd have thought that more people would just be roaming around outside the building." Alex mumbled as he looked at the scene.

"No, everyone actually comes here, the food is pretty alright and you can even call it the hotspot of gossip. Usually anything that happened gets transmitted to the whole student body." Jessice said with a smile and a wink at Alex as she walked inside.

'Is she hitting on me? Nah… definitely not right? Is this one of those moments that I will remember five years later?' Alex thought jokingly to himself as he followed behind her together with Bella.

Alex and Bella quickly arrived at a table following Jessica and sat down. There were three other students already sitting at the table.

One of them was Erick Yorkie that the two had already met before their first class, and the two others were a light blond hair guy with a slight baby face and an athletic build as well as a tall girl with light brown hair and glasses.

'Those two must be Mike Newton and Angela Weber, their looks match the book descriptions much more closely than the movie versions.' Alex thought to himself as he sat down at the table right next to Bella as well as Angela.

"Hey, I'm Alexander Swan, the new transfer student. Call me Alex though." Alex says with a smile as he extends his hand towards Mike.

"Yo Alex, I'm Mike Newton, nice to meet you as well. And you are?" Mike said first to Alex before quickly turning his gaze towards Bella.

'Does this guy already have a crush on her? At first sight? I know he was described as flirty in the books however this much?' Alex thought as he listened to Mike starting to talk with Bella who clearly didn't really seem in the mood to entertain him much.

Shrugging his shoulders, Alex turned towards the girl, Angela Weber.

"Nice to meet you as well. Alex." Alex says as he gives her his hand as well, which she seemed to take softly, a shy expression on her face.

"Angela Weber. Nice to meet you too Alex." Angela replied, her voice much quieter than the rest of the group.

Giving a nod to the girl, Alex quickly turned to the rest of the group. Mike took this moment to ask a question.

"So how are you guys liking Forks so far?" He asked curiously, the question was directed at both however he seemed to only be looking at Bella.

"It's cold and wet, quite different from Phoenix. However, it is a nice change of view." Alex replied as he put his chin on his hand, holding it up.

Bella replied with a similar answer, Mike seemed to instantly grab this moment and start more small talk with her.

Alex turned his gaze towards Jessica who was now slightly glaring at Bella.

'Damn man, Jessica isn't even bad looking, why are you trying for the girl that is clearly not interested in you.' Alex thought to himself, feeling the urge to release a chuckle however holding it back in.

It was at this moment that the doors of the cafeteria opened up.

And inside came a group of people. The entire cafeteria seemed to quiet down for a moment at the sight of them.

And inside came a group of people. The entire cafeteria seemed to quiet down for a moment at the sight of them.

Turning his head towards the door, Alex quickly noticed the reason as to why the students had quieted down for a moment.

The silence was quickly broken as the clamor restarted once more however.

There right at the door, coming inside, were five devastatingly inhumanly beautiful people.

That wasn't all however as they all appeared to walk with an amount of grace that seemed supernatural. They each looked completely different from one another yet at the same time, completely identical to one another.

Chalky pale white skin, Amber colored eyes, their faces so different and yet so similar in the fact that they were all inhumanely beautiful.

'The Cullens and Hales.' Alex thought to himself as he gazed at the group.

The leading one at the front was a tall man with large muscles and broad shoulders, he had dark curly short hair and looked the most imitating out of the bunch.

'That guy looks like a college student, how the hell do people believe him when he says he's in high school. Considering his looks and height, that's most definitely Emmet Cullen.' Alex thought as he gazed at the bear-like man before turning his gaze to the woman next to him.

She was beautiful, even more so than all the rest of the Cullens, it was to the point that one couldn't even paint someone like her as they wouldn't be able to imagine it.

'Rosalie Hale, Pale blond hair, tall and walks like a model on a runway, and looks like she wants to be anywhere but here.' Alex mused to himself inwardly as he glanced behind her where the rest of the Cullens were.

'Tall, lean build with honey colored blond hair, and yeah i get what they meant when they described him looking like he was in pain. Looks like he has constant constipation issues.' Alex thought to himself, barely holding back a chuckle as he moved his gaze past him.

The sight of the next Cullen however caused an inward shock to Alex, It wasn't something pleasant however rather it was shock at how the girl moved.

'She gives the most inhuman vibes, from the way she's moving to the way she just is. Small stature, bubbly smile that looks just a bit off and short black hair that spiked in all directions. That's Alice Cullen.' Alex thought to himself feeling an almost instinctual need to gaze away from the small woman as he turned his gaze to the last Cullen.

At the back of the group, there he was, the male lead of the books.

'Bronze colored hair, tall with a build in between that of Jasper and Emmet, most definitely the best looking out of the boys and in a similar way to Rosalie, he looks like he wants to be anywhere but here right now.' Alex thought inwardly as he finally moved his gaze away from the group.

As Alex had been looking at the group, Bella had done similarly and caught the attention of Jessica who had started describing the group for her.

"So basically they're all together, it's really weird." Jessica said with a whisper voice as she looked at Bella.

"Jess, don't say that. They're not really weird… just really private" Angela said in a soft shy voice as she looked at her friend with what could be called the look a mother gave to a misbehaving child.

"Oh come on Angie, you do have to agree that dating your step siblings is as weird as it gets." Jessica replied as she released a huff of breath and lounged back against her chair.

"What about him? Who's he?" Bella asked as she gazed at Edward.

"Oh that? That's Edward. Don't even try, he thinks he's somehow too good for anyone. Narcissistic is what we call that." Jessica replied with a voice that was quite close to a growl.

'Yeah, she most definitely got rejected.' Alex and Bella thought almost at the same time as they looked at the glare on Jessica's face.

It was at this moment that Bella sneaked another glance at Edward and practically froze.

Alex turned his gaze to see what had happened only for him to flinch as well.

The gaze Edward was giving her was anything but human, his eyes had turned from the shining amber to an impossible Black, it was as if they were voids of light as they stared at Bella.

'Shit, that is much much fucking scarier than in the movies.' Alex thought to himself before he saw Alice who had been next to Edward slap his hand causing him to quickly turn his face away.

Finally both the Swans were released from their frozen state and both quickly turned their gaze away, almost at the same instant.

'I wish you luck Bella, I have no idea how you survived Biology.' Alex thought to himself as he released a soft sigh of relief as he gathered his breath.

'Though from the fact that he didn't react in any way that's too shocking, I'm guessing that Edward can't read my thoughts, either a perk of being Bella's brother or maybe reincarnation? Or is it called Transmigration in this case? Would that make my thoughts have different wavelengths or some other thing that would cause this? It would be nice if it was the second case, that could maybe mean that Alice wouldn't be able to see me in her visions as well and that other vampiric gifts wouldn't work against me.' Alex thought as he focused on the small talk at his table once more.
