Raven's POV

My alarm rang out across my room painfully loudly. Carlisle said he was sick of me always being late even though I don't sleep, so he made a special trip to find the most annoying alarm clock he could.

I had protested but of course with Carlisle there was no luck. I growled and threw the clock at the wall.

Ugh when would it stop? The damn thing shattered to pieces and still continued to ring!

I sighed and pushed myself so I was sitting upright on the bed. "That's it!" I yelled. I jumped… well tried at least… to jump off the bed, before I realized I was tangled in my blankets. I fell to the ground with a loud thud. "Ow!" I whined.

I grabbed the pieces and ran to the bathroom shoving them in the sink as I turned on the water. "Damn it Carlisle you are such a pain sometimes!" I muttered.

"Raven Destiny Cullen don't ever talk about your father like that." Esme Chastised. I sighed, "Sorry mother." "What is that?" She asked angrily. I turned around quickly trying to block her view. "Nothing, that's nothing." I said quickly as I stared into her eyes. She blinked, "Raven Destiny Cullen your blue eyes are very pretty, but please tell me you did not just try to compel me."

I smiled half-heartedly. Damn it that never works on any of the vampires I know! "Haha well that's a funny story mom but I'm late again, got to go mom bye!" I ran down the steps as fast as I ever thought I could, maybe even faster than Edward, okay maybe not. I smiled to myself and jumped into Emmett's jeep, just as they were driving off.

"Thought you would be running again." Jasper smiled. "Yeah not likely since I don't know where the school is," I replied. "Dumbass." I muttered. He slapped me upside my head. "Dude what the hell?" I asked. "Raven could you relax for one day and try not to get into any trouble?" He asked. "Not likely." I muttered.

I was watching the roads knowing I might have to run again someday soon, especially now that I broke the alarm clock. Carlisle was going to flip out. I sighed "Jasper knock it off, you're not going to make me any happier to go to this damn school, I'm not a nerd like the rest of you." Emmett glared at me warningly through the mirror. "Sorry." I mumbled.

"Can't you just stop me?" Jasper laughed. "Fine I will." I concentrated all my energy at staring into Jasper's eyes "Stop. Now." Nothing, Really? "Nice try, intense energy but I'm used to it so I can resist."

Lots of vampires had the common gift of compulsion, which normally only worked on those outside our species, but if we had enough training…I glared at him, "You couldn't resist Mia, or have you forgotten?" He looked at me shocked. "Let's not bring up the past." Alice said as calmly as she could.

"Why isn't History his favorite subject?" I asked, jumping out of the car before they could respond. Knowing they wouldn't use their vampire speed I had an advantage but had to react fast.

I walked quickly towards the school and ran into a girl. "Hey watch where you're going." She yelled. I quickly assessed the situation. Damn it my brothers were close. I knelt down picking up my books, my long, straight black hair flowing down over my shoulders; I didn't have a chance to put it up this morning.

She did not just yell at me I may take shit like that from my family but this girl, no way. "You watch where you're going!" I yelled back. She rolled her eyes and walked away, no that was not happening either I glared and ran after her. "What not supposed to fight back?" I asked. She spun around quickly.

"Shut up before you regret it!" She hissed. "Ooh, so scared." I said. 'Well I am already in pretty deep shit so… might as well' I thought lunging at her and pinning her on her back. With speed and force I didn't think she could possess, she kicked me off of her.

I rolled onto the side ignoring the pain for now, like I always do during fights. She stood up and I followed, I didn't want to use too much strength that way I wouldn't give myself away, but I was pretty sure this girl could take it. When she pushed me I decided not to hold back and hit her pretty hard.

By that point though, my brothers had caught up and were instantly in action. Emmett took a hold of the other girl, and Jasper had me restrained. Damn it! That was just getting good! She yelled at Emmett which is something most girls would never be brave enough to do, so I had to give her some credit.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a guy striding towards us angrily. He grabbed her by the shirt and I wondered for a second if he was going to hit her too, what the hell kind of school is this?

I lost sight of what was happening though and didn't have time to listen, as Jasper whispered in my ear. "You are in so much trouble young lady." He said. "Who are you calling a young lady? I am 145 damn it so stop treating me like a newborn!" I hissed. "To us you are still a newborn."

"So can Raven." I heard Emmett say before he glared at me. I looked at him worryingly, and shuffled my feet closer to Jasper. "Don't think I'll save you." He whispered. I whimpered and tried to hide the nervousness I was feeling, which I was pretty sure worked about as well as my compulsion practice today.

I waited definitely patiently as they went through introductions, which to my opinion didn't last long enough. Edward apologized and promised it wouldn't happen again. I hung my head avoiding his eyes and waited for this torture of a day to be over.

Some teacher came up but I didn't pay attention until I realized he was addressing me "So you are the new student?" He asked. Normally I would have replied with a usual snarky comment of mine like 'why what've you heard?' But decided against it and nodded.

"Well, sorry to be such a downer on your first day but you and Kaylee will have three days suspension, fighting is highly prohibited, especially on school grounds." He looked at both of us and we nodded.

I was going to re-die today, Carlisle was going to rip me apart and burn the pieces, literally! Okay maybe I was exaggerating a little bit but still, I hated disappointing him. He saved me after all. I don't remember much of my human life but the last night.

I was stranded in an alley, I ran out of my mother's house, it was her birthday but that just meant she was old, like I cared? Yes apparently my attitude was just as great before I was reborn. It was around midnight she was spending time with her perfect boyfriend, not caring about where I was.

I was just going to take a walk around the block to clear my head but it was pitch black. I didn't pay attention to where I was going until I heard something behind me.

I saw flashes of movement, and then felt a searing pain on my neck. I gasped for air as my hands instantly grabbed my neck. I couldn't breathe falling to the cold, wet concrete, as I screamed in pain. I watched as the dark haired vampire smiled at me. I couldn't see him well yet with my still-human eyes.

Carlisle dashed in front of me suddenly before he could do any more damage. Apparently I was lucky enough to be on the same street as the hospital he was working at that night. He smelt blood and heard a scream, and immediately came to investigate. That's all I can recall.

"Follow me, I will get your slips, and call your parents, everyone else can get to class." He said. I followed absent-mindedly, all I could think about was my disappointed father. Luckily for me earlier, he had work today and had to leave before us, I didn't feel so lucky about that fact now.

"I'm in so much shit," I complained.

"So am I so just shut up already," she said rolled her eyes.

"Yeah but I'm pretty sure you won't get spanked." I mumbled.

"Y-you? Get," She lowered her voice, "spanked?" She asked.

I was surprised she heard me but answered, "Yeah, go ahead make fun of me." I said, now rolling my eyes.

"I do too. I wouldn't be making fun of you." I answered.

Is this a joke? I wondered… No I don't think any one's stupid enough to joke about that.

"Wow…" I looked down. "Who are your parents?" I asked.

"Guardian. Damon Salvatore," She answered once again.

"My family just moved here, I'm Raven Cullen." I said, feeling like my idiotic brothers now.

"That's cool," She said. It was starting to get awkward, but then I heard a door open and knew without looking, by his scent it was Carlisle.

"Who's that?" She asked.

"My dad," I mumbled looking down. He walked over to me, glaring.

"Raven Destiny Cullen!" He said sharply. The teacher dude walked out.

"Sorry to have to suspend your daughter on her first day, but, we do not tolerate fighting here," He said professionally.

"I completely understand Mr…"

"Mr. Saltzman, Alaric Saltzman." He replied.

Father nodded his head, "Well, nice to meet you, wish it wasn't under these circumstances. I promise this won't happen again, right Raven?" He asked, giving her a little shake.

"Right. Sorry." I said, head still down.

Alaric smiled at me. I so badly wanted to lunge at him now. My father said goodbye and we left.

He didn't talk the whole way out to the car, I suspected it was because he was thinking considering the fact he could talk low enough that the humans wouldn't hear us, which apparently I had to work on.

Great how embarrassing, the first day of school I get drug out by my dad, typical.

He found his car, and opened the door for me, I got in.

He glared at me, "Not one word got it?" He asked. I nodded, "Yes sir." I answered, as he shut the door.

I was the first one to talk even though he said not to I had to try, "Dad I-" He cut me off, "I don't want to hear it Raven, I am extremely disappointed in you."

"When are you not?" I muttered earning myself another slap upside my head.

I whimpered. "I said be quiet didn't I?" He asked me. "Raven I expect an answer." He ordered.

"Yeah but you just sai-" I began. "Raven Destiny Cullen!" I cringed. "Sorry, sorry sir."

I looked out the window as he started driving, Kaylee was with a dark haired guy I figured to be Damon.

It gave me some comfort knowing that someone's day might be almost as bad as mine, Almost of course, her guardian wasn't a pissed-off vampire.
