Disclaimer: I do not own the Cullens or Bella. But I do own Oscar, Ichabod, and Reeth.
I had been on to those Cullens dating back from the two years ago when I moved to this wretched town called Forks. I had been mesmerized by their family the first moment I saw them. But something wasn't right about them. They all seemed to… find no threat. At all…ever. I watched them everyday, all of them seeming unusual. They never sat with anyone outside their family. No, they were not normal.
I had come from a large city. Certain "creatures" had plagued me for my entire time spent living in the hell hole. These "creatures" seemed to have a lot in common with those Cullen characters. But the Cullens didn't haunt me the way the others did. No, they only lingered in my thoughts once in awhile, not causing my nightmares. I never knew why but whenever I stared at those perfect faces, I felt as if they were reading me, who I was. Internally I knew this couldn't be possible. How could anyone ever read my thoughts or see what would happen to me later on, right? But I didn't mind them so much because they never had a problem with anyone. But then Isabella Swan had arrived.
I tried not to let her bother me. She seemed nice enough even though I hadn't the guts to introduce myself. But something was different once she arrived. Edward Cullen, the worst of them all, seemed to change around her. I sat in the biology class they were in, at the table beside them. I noticed his once relaxed frame had stiffened whenever she came in to sit down. Poor Isabella, she didn't know what to think. But I had my suspicions. He'd clench his fists into tight balls of muscle, turning his entire hand whiter than normal. She was different to him. Much different. I noticed day in and day out that Isabella was the reason for his missing school and his attitude and she had taken it out all on herself. It wasn't her fault that he was a "monster". My suspicions seemed to be foolish but I totally and utterly believed in vampires. The more I thought about it… the more I knew… him and his beautiful family were… vampires.
When I lived in the rainy city two years ago, I had crossed paths with a strange woman. She had dark, purple circles under her eyes and she moved so swiftly and gracefully that it stopped me. I grew more and more wary being near her in my once familiar school. My father, Arthur Helsing, always told me of his "stupid" superstitious beliefs until one day when I talked to this woman, I believed all of his warnings. Everything she did my father had pointed out as a sign of "the beasts". But the only thing that hadn't made sense to me was that she never seemed to feed on humans because no one local had ever gone missing. But my father persisted and warned that this woman was one of them. So one day I had taken enough of the gory images that flew my mind whenever she walked past. I had approached at lunch; she was sitting with her friends Ichabod and Oscar. All three, as devastatingly beautiful as they were, seemed easy enough to accuse. I went over to her table and sat next to her. She looked at me with hard eyes.
"Reeth Helsing I presume, what is it that brings you here to our lovely section of the cafeteria?" she asked wickedly. Ichabod and Oscar's eyes looked as if preparing themselves to protect their woman friend. I sighed and thought, out with it already!
"You're a damned beast…" I muttered thinking she wouldn't hear it. Ichabod and Oscar stiffened and gripped the edge of the table hard. The girl looked to me with a devilish smile.
"Hmmm… what makes you say that?" she asked flashing a bright smile at me. I rolled my eyes.
"Don't you friggin' play dumb with me… I know what you are…" I said breathlessly. The girl eyed me with a fury behind her black eyes and then looked to Ichabod and Oscar. They nodded and she turned back to me. I looked back and forth at the words that seemed to have been said without physically saying them. The girl laughed mockingly.
"If I were you, Reeth," he voice hardened as she said my name, "I'd run away right now… before we do something you'll regret…" I looked at all three of them, standing from seat.
"You watch it! I'm on to you… beasts! I'll hunt you down!" I screamed viciously. By then the assistant principal had made his way over.
"What seems to be the problem here?" he asked dumbfounded. Tears began rolling down my cheeks. I wasn't very good at looking stern when I was truly angry. The girl looked up to him with bewildering eyes. It was as if she were hypnotizing him.
"Reeth called me a beast… she threatened to hunt my friends and I down. What do you think of that? She said with a twinkle in her eyes. I scowled at her. She was getting herself out of it by entrancing him with her beauty. Ichabod and Oscar laughed in their throats knowingly.
"I think we need to have a long chat in my office…" the assistant principal said annoyed, turning to me. My eyes widened and it was then that I realized the power of those deceitful beasts. I looked back at the girl, sitting there, folding her hand ever son gently on her lap. The assistant principal then began to grab my arm and escort me to his office. Ichabod and Oscar looked at me in the strangest way. It seemed as if they'd had remorse for what she did. I looked forward and only heard one thing escape from the girls ruby lips.
"I'll see you real soon…" she said eerily. I cringed at the though. SO after being violently escorted to the assistant principal's poor excuse for an office, he then proceeded to expel me. That is what had brought me to Forks. Not one had passed by where I didn't fear for my life because those vampires… were real killers.
I only hoped that Isabella wouldn't bring Edward's deeply hidden instincts. But I became increasingly aware that he was in fact a vampire. No other explanation fit. I had taken enough and want to settle all this vampire nonsense. I wanted to kill all the Cullens… fast. But how does a puny human kill a super being?
One day at lunch I spotted Edward and Isabella sitting together at that lonesome table. No, Isabella, don't fall for that charm. I stood in line waiting to buy the inedible food served to me. I didn't realize how much the line moved up.
"Reeth!" the lunch lady shouted. I jumped and looked at her face startled. She looked concerned.
"Geesh hun, the more you stare the less he'll notice… best try to give him the silent treatment… keeps 'em guessing,"she said casually. I noticed she was talking about Edward. I laughed silently thinking to myself, if only you knew the half of it. I paid for my lunch and then proceeded to walk by. Isabella didn't even notice me but Edward… Edward looked up at me as I thought to myself, damn vampires…they'll be gone soon enough. He looked into my eyes as if he had been listening to my comment. All the sudden I noticed to anger and fear burning behind his golden eyes. I felt my eyebrows come close together only to notice that the look on my face was pure hate. Why did I hate those beasts so? Was it because they were scum? Was it because they were beautiful? No. I sat down with my usual clique, listening to their pointless chattering and bickering. Edward turned around ever so swiftly and stared back at me. Isabella's head was turned staring at his family. It looked as though he snarled at me. But before Isabella turned her head back, he had already moved back into his original position. Slick bastard, I though. He then looked to the left, letting me see his profile. He smiled and looked at me through his peripherals. I felt my heart thump loudly fear. Had he heard what I was thinking? I couldn't help but worry about that for the rest of the school day. Even when the last period bell rang, I had wanted to stay inside those safe walls I called "school". But I knew I couldn't. I walked into the parking lot, noticing that Isabella had already left the parking lot. Then I looked to see that stupid silver Volvo, Edward waiting for his family. How do beasts earn such equipment?, I asked myself Edward then looked to me and began to walk over. It seemed as if he weren't stepping but gliding over the damp tar. I quickly looked away and found that I hadn't driven my car to school that day. It looked as if I was walking home today. I gulped looked back to see if Edward was coming. He wasn't but stood perfectly still in the parking lot. His family then came out to join him and called him over to the car, which seemed odd to me because I had never heard them talk before. He slowly turned around and then, quick as a flash, had made it all the way back to his car. I lifted one eyebrow and spotted Edward muttering something in Alice's ear. She looked to me with a startled expression. I quickly turned my head and began to walk from the school hoping that I hadn't just bought myself a whole mess of trouble.
