Summary: In Twilight, James and Victoria never hunted Bella. They left with Laurent. Instead, another member of their coven, Joseph, hunted her instead and was killed. At Bella's birthday party, Jasper attacked and Edward left with the rest of the Cullens. A few weeks later, Bella was involved in an accident, and Laurent was forced to save her- and make her a vampire. He brought her to the Smiths- Casey, Jonathan, Anais, Jagar, Max, Peter and Faolan- who 'adopted' her. Two years later, they moved to Forks and here, our story begins...
Chapter 1
"Get your butts down here!" Casey Smith called for what had to be the seventh time that morning.
"We're coming!" Max Martinez and Peter Brandon chorused, hurrying down the stairs, and passing Anais Smith, who was going back up to her room for reasons unknown to everyone but her. I was sitting at the table across from my 'brothers' Jagar and Faolan. We're known collectively as the Smiths in Forks.
"Did anyone, except Anais hunt last night?" demanded Jonathan, his brown hair plastered to his head with the water Peter and Faolan had poured on him the previous night.
"No." Most of us shook our heads, Faolan's 'topaz' hair flying everywhere.
"Oi! Mind where you put that hair of yours!" I laughed.
"Yeah!" Max agreed.
"Lets go hunt." said Faolan, not liking being teased about his 'gorgeous' hair.
School was as boring as ever, learning what we already knew. We all sat together at lunch, except Faolan who was sitting with his human girlfriend, Kati, who sat by themselves nearby. I didn't like to watch them together- it reminded me of another bronze haired vampire and his human girlfriend- but I don't like to talk about that time. It was a long time ago, and I've moved on.
" Hey, Bells!" Anais was calling me. "Class is starting!"
"Sorry, I guess I was caught up in my thoughts." I apologized
"You guess!" Anais muttered under her breath,but I still heard her. "Come on" she called more loudly.
By the time we left the cafeteria it was nearly empty,we got to biology just in time. As we entered the classroom, everyone fell quiet. I knew what they were seeing.
Anais has black hair with dark purple highlights that comes to her chin, dresses like an emo, is amazingly pretty and glares at everything. Me? I have dark brown hair, eyes that aren't completely gold yet, even though I was turned two and a half years ago, and I dress to blend in. It doesn't work. I mean, come on! We're vampires. We don't blend in school. After school ended, I went to the kindergarden school, where Casey works. She doesn't get many visitors this long after school ends, even though she always stays for a while to clean up. I walked in and knocked on the door.
"Hey Bella, come in, Laurent is visiting." Casey replied to my knock.
"Laurent!" I cried giving him a hug. " Where's James and Victoria?"
"They went hunting, but I hunted last night so . . ." He trailed off, looking around the classroom.
"Come on, let's go back to the house to catch up." Casey said.
That night, after Laurent had just left, because he said James and Victoria would be waiting for him, I was curled up on an armchair reading a book and listening to the quiet sounds of home.
I'm Bella Swan and this is my life
