Did I hate new schools? No. Did I hate being stared at? No. Did I hate the new people? Not yet. Was it my uncanny ability to attract trouble? Yes. I had just gotten out of a close scrap, again, with some vampires that thought they could mess with my town. The town I had been in for the longest yet. A small town in the middle of nowhere South Dakota, with beautiful views and the nicest friends, those dumb ass vamps thought they could run, well they were wrong. But, I guess they did chase me out of there. Oh, well, I needed to start over; I had spent too many years there. Five to be exact, I had only spent that much time there, because, well, my family was there. To tell the truth they weren't really my family, just my dad's best friend and his wife. They had a daughter a year after I came and lived with them. I thought they would kick me out after that, but they didn't they kept me. I was glad.
It had always been my dad and I since I could remember, which is pretty far back, and we were the best of friends. He had taught me how to fly, use my powers, and defend myself. Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm a Half-Vampire. My mom was 8 months pregnant with me when she was attacked by a vampire, some other Vamp, the good kind, saved my mom and delivered me right there on the street. He kept my mom in some secret place while she changed. He couldn't save her life but he gave her a different life, I'm always grateful for that. This Good Vamps name is Edward Cullen, and I have been searching for him since the day he left me at my Dad's house. My dad soon buried himself into me, letting me consume his life. Hey, I didn't mind, but he knew that I was different, one of a kind, as it were. My father worked tirelessly trying to dig himself into the world of vampires, trying to find their leaders, and trying to teach me everything I needed to learn. I was talking before long, and I walked three weeks after my birth. Soon after my third birthday he found the Voultri, begging that I be trained within the walls of the city safe from anything else. They agreed, Aro took me under his wind, since I had a keen mind power that he was very interested in. We spent 6 months within the walls of the city Aro realized I had another gift, any power that I thought useful I could gain, by just touching the person who had the gift. Aro, was very pleased with me. After 12 months there I started dueling with other vamps, almost killing some in the process, my father was also very skilled in this department, for a human that is. The three leaders than decided that my father and I would become the Bounty Hunters of the Voultri, it went well. By my fifth birthday, I was a Vampire killer and nearly my full adult height. Nothing was better than the life I was leading.
But as the saying goes, you can't be happy forever. Five short years after my father and I had become the Hunters, he was killed. I was broken. I left the Voultri, without looking back. I ran for months just running. My speed was great and no one could catch me.
After 5 months on the run, I went through one of my father's packs he had always carried with him. Inside was a book, the title was "My Emma" inside was a note to Carlisle Cullen saying that he wanted him to take care of his little girl and the book contained all he needed to know about me. I read it quickly crying over my father's beautiful scroll. I decided to start in South Dakota, where my dad's friends were, and now here I was in a new school in the most worthless place ever, LaPush, Washington, ten years after my father's death, I was away from anyone I knew, anyone I cared about and anything that resembled my SD. That's when some strange thoughts form across the room entered my head.
"She has to be the most beautiful thing on the plant! I wonder how my hair is. Gosh, she won't even notice me; she will probably think that Jacob is the one who wants to talk to her not me."
I smiled slightly to myself, these were the nicest thoughts I had heard all day. Whenever I went anywhere, the men around me would imagine doing the nastiest things to me. I wouldn't mind it very much if they were hot young men, but I mean, even old married guys think that way about me. It had been the same here at LaPush High, every single guy, be it Jock or Band Geek, wanted to get in my pants. Except this boy, he was just saying I was beautiful, that was very sweet, and maybe I would give him a chance. I felt someone tap on my shoulder, usually, if this were a different time and place I would rip his finger off and hit him with a fire blast. But, I was in school, with people not vampires. Well, not yet anyway. I turned around slowly. There before me was a tall, lanky bronzed kid with very long, raven black hair. He was wearing a white smile and some casual clothes, my type of guy, cool yet not trying to be.
"Hi," he said in a clear voice, almost like he was going to tell a story. "I'm Jacob Black, and I noticed that you had no one to sit by and my friend over there," he pointed to a cute, short, but brawny boy, with a nervous smile playing about his lips. I smiled at him, that's the thoughts I must have been hearing.
"Were wondering if you wanted to come and sit by us." I quickly checked this Jacobs mind just in case something was up. But his mind was a pure as the white snow. I gathered my books and nodded to him. I followed him over to the table and smiled at the brawny boy, who was still freaking out silently.
"So," I mused, letting my charm drip through my voice. "What grade are you boys in?"
"Eighth, but we are almost Freshmen." The nameless boy blurted out. I had chosen to move right in the last two weeks of school, so we were all trying inching to get out. I myself had enrolled as a Freshman, and was going to start my Sophomore year in the Fall. I smile at him, remembering what a small school this was, and that no matter what grade you were in you were going to share a study hall with some younger kids.
"Very nice," I commented. "Now I didn't get your name, what is it?" I asked the brawny boy.
"Umm, Quil Ateara." He stated almost stammering what he was going to say. I smiled again, I could almost hear Jacob rolling his eyes, and that was funny. I giggled slightly to myself, trying not to be rude. We passed the rest of the period talking to each other quietly. Quil and Jacob were actually quite funny and I could almost smell a friendship forming.
For the next two weeks I spent every single Study Hall with them and I even went over to Jacobs house a couple of time, for warm pop and joking around. I than meet Embry, the third to their little posse, he was cute and lanky, just like Jake. Quil and I grew inseparable; we would talk every night on the phone until late into the night way past the wee hours of the morning. I also meet a very pretty girl named Leah; she was a year above me and had Algebra 2 with me. We talked and had a girl's night before school was over.
The last day approach quicker than I thought, I had been having so much fun I forgot what I had come here to do. Find the Cullen's, but my mission didn't seem to pop up that much in my thoughts. I just wanted to be a normal girl for a little while than I would go back to the mission. With all the fun that had happened I had also forgotten to feed. I drank only animal blood, because I couldn't bear the thought on drinking for what I was half of. I wiped my mouth off as I walked away from the small clearing, the bear put up some fight but I didn't want to play games today.
I needed to speed up or I would be late for school. I arrived just in time and settled in for a long day of celebrating. I arrived at study hall jumpy and excited. This was the last class before summer. Summer had always been my favorite time of year, because it had the best flying weather, ever. And I love flying more than anything in the entire world. I also loved being able to transform into any animal and just running, but flying was way above that. I sat down next to Quil and he gave me his nervous smile I hadn't seen since the day I had met him. I almost reached into his brain to find out what was wrong, but I had made myself promise that I would not read the minds of my friends. I started a conversation with Jacob, about the plans for the weekend and seeing if he was going to Leah's end of the school year bash. He talked excitedly about the party tonight and the plans for this weekend. We were going to go camping way up in the mountains.
I was excited. Quil never joined in with us. The ball rang and I almost jumped out of my skin with pleasure, it was finally summer! We walked out of the school as a group I gave Jacob a hug and told him I would see him very soon and started to walk with Quil to the car. His house was on the way to mine and we had started this trend about a week ago. The car was silent on the way there. And I trembled slightly at what he was being quiet about, my nerves were telling me to beat his ass and make him tell me why he was being so quiet. When we reached his house I tired speaking.
"So, see you tonight." I asked smiling.
"Yeah," he said quietly, I was about to scream at him. Why the hell was he being like this? Then he said, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
