Hello readers. This is my first Twilight story, although I have written different stories, and I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Be as honest and detailed as you like. This is just the first chapter and I do not claim to follow the actual story at all really. I'm trying to keep this fairly original, but there are a lot of stories out there, so let me know if this starts to sound too similar to another piece of fan fiction you've read. I hope you enjoy.

Of course I don't own any of these characters.

And so it goes

Strigoi, asanbosom, vetalas, mandurugo, vampire: these are a few of the names associated with those who I hunt. I know it sounds stupid; high school girl fails gym, yet aspires to kill the undead. I don't care though, after what happened to land me here in Forks, I'm going to track down and murder every blood sucker I find.

Isabella Swan was not an easy girl to get along with. The kids at her new high school thought she was oddly quiet and didn't think highly of her constant unkempt look. Of course Bella never let herself become concerned over her peers immature judgments about her. She could focus only on completing her last two years of school and remaining vigilant over the possible presence of vampires in town. Bella had moved to Washington just a few weeks ago, right in the middle of the school year, and her father has been working tirelessly ever since to make her feel welcome. In light of Bella's sudden dependence on him, Charlie had helped create a warm environment at home for his daughter and she did appreciate it immensely. They hadn't yet ventured into talking about her life before her arrival and Bella preferred it that way, at least for now. She did love Charlie and, as Bella awkwardly traversed her school's corridors, she eyed her classmates for any signs of vampirism. She would not let her father fall prey to one of the monsters while he was out on duty. So far Bella saw no concrete evidence to hold against anyone she passed during her days in Forks, although the whole Cullen family was rather strange. From what Bella had learned about vampires through old books and accredited websites, the Cullens didn't really match any evil descriptions, but she still got the wrong kind of vibes from them. There was one Cullen who Bella encountered a few times who actually made Bella feel…happy. Alice Cullen was quite stunning and sweeter than what Bella thought a person was capable of being. It didn't make sense for Alice to smile at Bella in the hallway or bend over to pick up books that Bella had dropped, especially when no one else dared do these things. And as much as Bella didn't want to admit it, these miniscule acts of kindness brightened Bella's heart even though she was sure that had become an impossibility.

On a particularly cloudy morning, Bella missed her alarm and woke up with a mere ten minutes to spare before school would begin. She threw on a worn t-shirt and slightly ripped jeans, stopping only to quickly brush her teeth, but forgoing combing her hair or eating breakfast. Bella raced out to her beat up pick-up truck and tried in vain to get the engine to start. The machine whinnied and puttered, but showed no real signs of life. Slamming her fists against the steering wheel and gritting her teeth, Bella hopped out of the vehicle and ushered Charlie's old bike out of the garage. She would miss her first class, no doubt about that, but she didn't want her father to think of her as a skipper no matter what the reasoning behind it was. Reluctantly, Bella climbed upon the bicycle and began peddling toward her destination.

Not two minutes had passed before a heavy rain descended on Bella, drenching her shivering body and tiring her muscles from pushing through the muddy, unpaved path to school. She contemplated turning around before the journey got to be too unbearable, but something stopped her from carrying on such thoughts. A black sports car slowed to a halt by the side of Bella's bike as the passenger side window purred down to reveal the driver.

"Hey Bella, looks like you could use a ride. Do you want to put your bicycle in the trunk?" Alice Cullen's melodic voice sung into Bella's ears.

"What are you doing here Alice; shouldn't you be at school already?" Bella temporarily ignored her aches and cold tremors. She certainly didn't mind this turn of events, but it did strike her as unusual.

"I could say the same for you missy! Come on, get in. I don't want to be the person responsible for letting a girl freeze to death because she was willing to do anything to get her high school education." Bella couldn't help, but let a tiny chuckle escape her lips as she moved to the back of Alice's car. The lid of the trunk popped up and the Cullen came out to make sure Bella could fit the bike in.

While silently maneuvering the transportation device into position, Alice's hand brushed against Bella's arm. This resulted in a small bolt of electricity that flew up Bella's limb and straight into her heart. Internally she was warmed and tingly, but externally her arm was much colder than before. Bella glanced at Alice, who was closing the trunk and returning to the driver's seat.

"Sleepy head let's go. Just how late do you plan on making us?" Alice giggled with her head out the window and the delightful sound snapped Bella from her musing. The teen stumbled into the car and relished in the seat warmer she found waiting for her. For the next couple minutes Bella was caught in a trance over her current situation. How odd it was for Alice, who never seemed to be tardy, to be coming by just as Bella would need her. Even more perplexing was the lack of heat that came from Alice's touch. At first Bella thought it was simply because it was cold outside, but Alice had been in the sufficiently warm car all the way from her house.

Bella let her questions fade as she realized Alice was pulling into the school parking lot. Alice had let her think in peace, which Bella also found confusing for such a talkative and joyous person to do. Nonetheless, Bella was grateful and thanked Alice for the ride once they had ran into the dry building.

"I'm just glad a saw you out there. I wouldn't want you to catch hypothermia or anything like that. I'll find you at the end of the day and give you a lift home too ok? See ya later Bella!" Alice lilted as she skipped away. Bella watched Alice go for a moment before shaking some rain water off of her clothes and then headed for class.
