Summary: On that first day in biology, Edward hadn't been able to control himself. But what if Isabella Swan was anything but human? OOC for obvious reasons.
Edward POV
Isabella Swan's scent hit me like a speeding truck on icy roads.
In that split second, I discarded everything Carlisle had ever taught me. I was now the dangerous predator, and she, my helpless prey. It would only be too easy.
My family would be so disappointed with me. It was worth it. Her scent was strong enough to make me into a monster.
But did all these people in the classroom really have to die? No need for them to. No need for my family to have extra reasons to hate me for what I was going to do.
No, I could wait until after class. And that was it. This girl—her life was over.
It wasn't my fault, I told myself. It was who I was, after all.
These thoughts had only taken a few seconds to rush through my head. The next thing I knew, Isabella Swan, my prey, was sitting next to me. I froze on the edge of my seat, not breathing. It was growing more difficult for me to resist, with her scent blowing over me, smothering me.
Was it just my imagination, or was there a small smile playing on her lips?
I ignored it.
When the bell rang and we emptied into the hallway, I wasted no time. I couldn't let Alice get to me first. I could deal with that afterward. Right now…I just needed her blood.
"Bella, right? I'm Edward." I said, still not breathing. I couldn't attack her right in the hallway, after all. I let my eyes, surely now dark with blood lust, gaze into her brown ones. She seemed unaffected. "Hi. Pleasure." She said, seemingly distracted as she looked past me.
"Look, could I talk to you for a second?" I paused. "Alone?" I smiled. It would look shy to her, I'd hoped. Humans were easy to manipulate.
Sure enough, she nodded and swiftly turned, disappearing out double doors into the forest. I followed, as fast as I could while still keeping my human façade.
When I reached her, she was pretty deep in the forest. The bell for next class had surely rung by now. I ignored it.
Her back was to me. I didn't pause to think of what I was about to do.
"I'm sorry, Bella." I said softly, taking a step foreward. She couldn't outrun me now. Couldn't hide.
She turned her head to one side.
"Edward! Edward Cullen." She said, not a hint of fright or confusion in her voice. I paused, her scent wafting over me.
"Ah, I've heard so much about you." She said, almost proudly. Like it was an accomplishment. I wanted to move, I had to move—I had to get to her, but I couldn't.
I struggled. "What the…?" It was like an invisible wall, between the two of us. Her scent was still strong. "Who the hell are you?"
She laughed pleasantly, as if we were two friends having lunch. "How rude of me. I'm Isabella Swan. Bella. I'd thought you knew that, though. And I know who you are, obviously."
"What—" I said, taking a step back. I needed her blood. My thoughts were jumbled. I wasn't taking her strange behavior into any retrospect at all.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that." She rolled her eyes, and I stumbled foreward, the wall disappearing. I lost my patience, appearing at her side in a second, prepared to drink. To kill.
Then her hand was wrapped tightly around my wrist, pushing me back. Her grip was ten times stronger then Emmett's, ten times stronger then anything I'd ever felt. She glared at me for a second. "Let's be polite, now. You wouldn't want me getting the wrong impression."
She pushed back with no effort at all, and I fell to the forest ground. Then I was standing up a split second later, advancing on her. "Who are you?" I spat.
Bella held up one finger. "I'm sorry, can you hold on a second? The human thing is growing kind of old." She closed her brown eyes, turned around, and a second later, she was a different person.
Her skin paled slightly, although there wasn't much difference from her skin tone before. Her body was a perfect shape, with perfect curves. Her facial features were flawless, everything in perfect proportion. Her hair was a little longer, and it was a luscious brown color with lighter brown streaks. Her eyes stunned me—they were liquid gold, with flecks of blue, brown, green and purple.
She was the most gorgeous person I'd ever seen. Except—she couldn't be a person. She had to be a vampire.
She grinned at me. "Wonderful. Very smart. You've figured it out! Congrats." There was something dangerous lurking behind her playful tone. It sent a shiver down my spine.
I stepped back from her. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" I said coldly. I should alert Alice immediately, and Carlisle. As soon as possible. I'd have to make a run for it.
"I answered that already. I'm Bella. Seriously. I'm surprised Carlisle never told you about me! I used to know him, after all. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten." She grinned wickedly. Another thing that sent shivers down my spine.
Behind the exterior, I could sense it. She was dangerous. I decided then, I was turning away now. I was the fastest runner in my clan, probably faster then her…
She was at my side before I could move a foot. "I don't think so." She hissed, narrowing her eyes. "Enough games."
"What do you want?" I spat, angry that I wasn't in control of the situation. Her iron grip was holding my wrists together. How had I gotten myself into this?
"I was just going to introduce myself. I'm going to be here a while. Might as well know someone." She grinned.
"Not if I have anything to do with it, you won't. I don't want you anywhere near the Cullen family." I hissed. Probably not smart to say, but she was trouble, I could tell. She could reveal us all.
"Your right. It wasn't a smart thing to say." She growled, pushing me back against a tree. My head bounced off its surface. It actually hurt. And how could she tell I'd thought that? Could she read minds, too?
"Oh, crap. I might as well tell you now." Bella groaned. "Don't move."
Yeah, like I was going to stay here any longer.
"Damn it, can't you just cooperate?" She hissed, blinking. A second later, I couldn't move again. It was like I was in a cage.
"How'd you—?" I trailed off.
She grinned menacingly.
"Yeah, isn't that cool? That's among everything ELSE I can do, of course. Might as well show you what you're dealing with. Let's see." She paused.
"I can change my appearance at will. It's handy. I use it a lot. I can make force fields, like cages, like what your experiencing right now. And best of all…I can use other powers. Like your little mind reading thing. And your sisters visions. Anything you can do, I can do."
I didn't respond. I didn't quite believe her. If she could really do this, how had the Volturi not come after her?
"Who said they didn't? Aro and I had a nice little chat. He refused to see my side of things, the situation got a little out of hand. Anyway, I doubt they'll find me here for a while."
She paused.
"Which is why I'm warning you, now. Pass this on to your family—the Volturi aren't going to find out I'm here, got it? You don't want to see me when I'm angry." She warned, releasing me from my 'cage'.
"You can't just come here and expect everything to go your way. It is seven against one, after all. Good luck." I spat.
Bella laughed, like she was actually amused. "Yeah. Mhm. I don't think you understand. See, I'm better then you. Better then your entire coven put together, actually. Faster. Stronger. I'm a threat." She laughed again.
"Don't come near my family." I hissed.
"I'll do what I have to." She growled. "In fact…I'll see you tonight. Your coven and I should have a little chat to make sure they understand exactly whats at stake here."
We wouldn't let you in our house. Stay away from us. Go back to where you came from. I thought angrily.
"God, I love this!" She said, grinning. Her teeth gleamed. "Anyway, it's not like you have a choice. See ya tonight."
As she walked away, her appearance turned innocent again.
Shit.
Mkay. I dunno, I had this idea in church today. Review if I should continue. If I decide to, I'll be juggling three fan fictions at once, so I'll only continue if I get positive feedback. (: thanks!
