'I choose...both of them.' I said with conviction. 'You cannot make me desert one of them for both are my families!' I nearly yelled.

The other Bella looked at me sadly. 'You cannot choose two things at the same time. If you don't make a decision, you will lose both.' she slowly walked over to me and hugged me tight. 'I wish I could be of help to you and I wish I could tell you something to help you but sadly I can't. I wish you chose correctly and I hope that you find it in your heart to forgive, to forget, and to let go.' she moved back to the fountain and dipped her hand in the water. 'Come here Isabella.' she said.

I quickly followed her and saw that she was holding two gold necklaces with crystal hearts hanging in the center. 'What are those?' I asked as I stared in wonder.

'Crystal hearts, have you ever heard of them?' she asked. Crystal hearts, I've heard of them once in Volterra and another in Romania.

'I've heard of them. Those who spoke of it, spoke of great power. I don't really understand though.' I answered honestly.

She chuckled. 'Of course they would.' Her face became hard. 'Those foolish old men. They speak of its power but not of its danger.' She looked at me. 'Do you want to hear its story?' I nodded. 'Once there were two girls. They were the opposites of the other. Their names were Anne and Marie. Marie lived in suffering and torture while Anne lived in comfort. One day while Marie was on the run from people who wanted her dead, she fell into a lake and nearly drowned. Luckily, she was saved by an old woman. Marie confessed her story to the woman who sat patiently. After listening to her story, the old woman revealed herself as a goddess that guarded that lake. The goddess deemed Marie as worthy of her blessing and gave her a wish. Marie wished to know the true reason why she suffered like that. The goddess granted this wish and explained to Marie that she was really the soul sister as well as the twin of another girl. Marie and her sister was said to possess great powers when together. And so, Marie was separated from her sister, Anne. Marie cried in grief, horrified that she suffered because of greedy people. However, the goddess told her that she could easily find Anne. If, that is, Marie survives the difficulties she would be faced with. And so, Marie, determined to find her sister, accepted the challenge. 'Should you die, you will be reborn again. however, you will lose all memories about your past life. You can still remember them, if you work hard.' She then held out a crystal heart. 'This crystal heart will lead you to your sister and will aid you in your journeys.' And then she disappeared.' The other Bella finished her story and looked at me. 'Till now, Marie is looking for her sister. And Anne is still out there, wondering, why she was born.'

'If they are, why are the hearts here?' I asked.

'Because Marie has died and Anne has yet to be resurrected.' she answered. And then she suddenly held out one of the hearts to me. 'It's time to start searching for your sister again.' My eyes widened as I realized something. I held the heart and the knowledge and memories came crashing. 'Find your sister soon for you will need her. Find her, Isabella MARIE.'

And then everything went black.
