~Jules and Emily~

Bella had just finished school and a round of verbal abuse for the day once again as the last few weeks were relentless. Bella was walking when she came across Frankie again. She decided to move a little close to her, waiting for her to notice her, she immediately does and stops and Bella does the same.

"Hello, Bella Shepherd." Frankie said.

"Hi Frankie Gaines." Bella said.

"I knew you lived on this street but I did not know you walked to school at 7:30, as I do, Bella Shepherd." Frankie said.

"I just didn't want to be late and had to make a good impression." Bella said.

"Why? Is there someone watching you, Bella Shepherd?" Frankie asked.

"No, I just do not want people to think of me as odd, people found me weird in my old school because of my intelligence level." Bella said.

Frankie wraps her arms around Bella and gives her a tight hug. "Wow...you're really strong." She said.

"Thank you, Bella Shepherd." Frankie said.

"Why don't you call me Bella? Without the Shepherd..." Bella asked.

"Okay, Bella without the Shepherd." Frankie said.

"Never mind." Bella said, then they started walking again.

As they walked, Frankie and Bella kept giving each other math and science questions. "What is pie to 1000 digits?" Frankie asked.

"Oh my gosh! I remember this...Okay! 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938521105559644622948954930381964428810975665933446128475648233786783165271201909145648566923460348610454326648213393607260249141273724587006606315588174881520920962829254091715364367892590360011330530548820466521384146951941511609433057270365759591953092186117381932611793105118548

Bella said quickly.

"My calculations confirm you are correct." Frankie said.

"Yes!" Bella exclaimed. "Frankie...don't you ever get teased for being really clever?"

"No, I don't, Sepulveda High is a school for lots of intellectual people." Frankie said.

"I know but I am the smartest one." Bella said.

"That is probably not true, I have more data stored than you, making me smarter." Frankie said.

'Data...what she some kind of...robot. Oh my god, Frankie was a machine! Some kind of highly sophisticated android. It makes sense now, whoever created her must have not realized that there was a person who already looked like Frankie.' Bella thought.

"Frankie? Are you a robot?" Bella asked.

DO NOT LIE.

DO NOT REVEAL ANDROID STATUS.

"Yes, Bella Shepherd, I am a type of robot." Frankie said.

"Frankie...are you an android?" Bella asked.

DO NOT REVEAL ANDROID STATUS.

DO NOT LIE.

"Yes, I am. Now...I am afraid that I will have to move for sure because my Mom told me I couldn't let anyone find out and..." Frankie said.

"No. Technically, I am like another you. Surely, telling yourself isn't bad." Bella said.

"I guess so..." Frankie said.

"And plus, this can be a secret." Bella said.

"Of course but can I tell Dayton Reyes? She already knows." Frankie said.

"I don't think that would be advisable yet." Bella said.

"Ok, Bella Shepherd." Frankie said.

"Promise you won't tell her?" Bella asked.

"I...promise Bella Shepherd." Frankie said.

Bella places a hand on Frankie's shoulder. "Frankie, do you think that we could be like...sisters?" Bella asked.

"But, we are not related, Jenny Gaines is my sister." Frankie said.

"I get it but I have never had a real twin sister before and...You're the closest thing." Bella said.

"I get your reasoning, Bella Shepherd. Or should I say...sis.' Frankie said and they smiled at one another.

Bella never noticed McKenna and her friends following her and Frankie to the park located near the docks. Bella often went there to clear her mind from everything and to try and escape from all the pain and misery school brought about for her but as she turned around she saw McKenna and her friends right next to her. Bella knew they were here to hurt her again she just hoped it wasn't going to cause too much pain to her.

"So princess Bella is this place you escape to when you're feeling sad and miserable. Honestly I thought you would pick some expensive place like the high street malls. I never picked you as being the stroll in the park kind of girl." McKenna said.

"Why do you care McKenna? I mean you bully me every day and you get the entire school to do the same to me even after all the Venjix attacks. I mean don't you get enough joy in seeing me suffer from that every time I go to school?" Bella asked.

"Nah it's never enough Bella. We like doing it because it's fun. Also if it gets you out of our school then I guess it's worth it." McKenna said.

Bella didn't want to get into another physical fight with McKenna so she tried to walk away but the boys that hung around with McKenna blocked Bella's escape.

McKenna stepped forward and began to slap Bella in the face with a lot of force causing a handprint to be left on Bella's face. Jorden then punched Bella right in the back of the head which caused her to fall flat on her face. After that a boy picked her up and started groping her breasts.

"Don't touch me." Bella said as the boy rubbed her clit.

"Shut up and cum for us whore." McKenna said as Jorden started recording the scene.

"Don't touch her." Frankie said and went to help Bella but was blasted unconscious by something.

"What was that?" Bella screamed out her climax.

"That was an electromagnetic pulse weapon from a company called WARPA." Another boy said.

 They then pushed her on the ground and began kicking and punching Bella in the stomach and back and stepped on her arms making them break. By the time they were done beating the life out of her, it hurt to even breathe. Her eyesight was failing but her terror kept her from fading.

But what scared Bella the most was when McKenna approached Bella with a wooden baseball bat and started hitting her with it before another boy stabbed her twice in the abdomen with a knife then shot her legs with a gun before handing it to McKenna.

"This is what happens to slutty rich girls. Now to finish you off." McKenna said pointing the gun at her head as Frankie reboots when suddenly someone grabs McKenna by the throat and lifts her up.

"Apologize to the pretty lady." The guy said.

"I..." McKenna choked.

"Now or I'll slit your throat." The guy threatened with a knife to her neck.

"I'm sorry Bella." McKenna said and he threw her to the ground.

"Apology accepted. And who are you?" Bella asked puking up blood.

"I'm William Dunn." William introduced himself.

"You saved my life. Thank you." Bella said as Frankie quickly dialed 911 and waited for the EMT's to arrive.

"You're welcome. You have to keep fighting." William said and left as the paramedics arrived and managed to stabilize her for the ride to Seattle Grace.

"Bella if you can hear me you have to fight sweetie. Fight with all you have. Don't give up. We won't give up on you but you have to fight like hell to live. Your parents need you." Emily said.

"Cameron? Tenaya?" Bella asked.

"No. I'm Jules and this is Emily." Jules said.

"Oh. You just look like people I know." Bella said and everything went black.
