Summary: Just before receiving the Swine Flu vaccination, Bella realises one of the vaccines key ingredient is deadly to her. When no nurse will listen, who will save Bella from a horrible fate.....or will anyone?

Author's Note: This is just a drabble, a break from writing my other stories and also from studying. God damn exams!

Disclaimer: Of course we all know, the brilliant world of Twilight belongs to the brilliant author, Stephanie Meyer. I am simply a kid borrowing some of her toys for awhile.

Now, on with the story..........


By order of the State of Washington, Forks High School is giving each student and facility member a Swine Flu vaccination to counteract the pandemic. All students are to take one form giving below and fill out if wishing to receive vaccination.

Note: If you have any allergies to any of the ingredients (listed below) Please state so in application form to receive a special vaccination with said allergic ingredient removed.......

I only had to scan the notice once to remember every word, and also every ingredient. One ingredient stood out to me, even only in word form it made me gasp.

Penicillin.

I guess I shouldn't be shocked that a common medicine was in such a break-through vaccine like the H1N1 shot. It's just.....me and Penicillin have a history...

When I was seven, I got my first major illness, Throat infection. Apparently the cold, damp weather of Forks was more prone to me so my dad took me to the hospital.

Only a minute after had giving me a spoon of remedy and I felt light-headed. A few minutes after that and my cheeks started to swell, reducing my vision.

Luckily we had only left the hospital doors when I fainted. I woke on a bed and Charlie and standing over me, both wearing relieved smiles. I soon found out I had a severe allergic reaction.

And it would get worse when I got older.

This was one reason my mother raged at me been in small town Forks. Her words were "If anything serious happened to you Bella, they might not know what to do!" I laughed at that, as if small town folk couldn't care for me....

Dr. Greandy, the doctor who didn't bother to check before giving me the medicine, his actions did back her up though.

Shaking my head of those thoughts, I took a form and firstly ticked the Do you have an allergies? Box and scribbled down on the State further: __Penicillin_

After that I filled in the other details. Smiling when finished I re-read it, just to make sure. I was only three lines into the details of the vaccination when the sheet was pulled out of my hands and over my head.

"What ya doing?" Alice sang when I turned around. She turned her attention to my form and quirked an eye-brow. "I never knew you were allergic to Penicilin?" Her statement sounded like a question, so I felt the need to answer.

The always brainiac, have to answer every question.

"Yeah, big-time allergic. Too much of it could kill me." I noticed her eyes widen and laughed. Alice would believe me in an instant, even when we were smaller. It took till about age 11 for her to realise the "monster" down by Quete's river was actually just a large wolf.

Alice was my friend from before I moved back to my mothers, after my hospital incident. After I came back, I thought it would be awkward but Alice just sparked the friendship up like I'd never left.

"Oooo, big-time allergic!" James seemed to materialise behind Alice, ripping my form from her hands. "Hmm..Penny-killing? What the hell is that?" The large boy scratched his greasy hair, sending many dirt partials onto my clean form.

Alice stepped forward to try snatching the form back, but James held it out of her range. I was glad that she didn't continue to try getting the sheet; it would only make her look foolish and I knew she was such a dedicated friend to try.

"Look at the pipsqueak go!" Laurent strolled to James' side, I felt cornered. It was hard to see how a snobbish, clean boy like him would be friends with a dirty, stupid boy like James; I guess it was out of fear.

Grabbing Alice's arm, I slyly pulled her back to my side, two-on-two seemed better than two vs. Alice. Even if it was two large boys against two small girls.

"This looks interesting." A cat-like purr came from James' ribs and Victoria pushed herself into his arms. This was only getting better. My thoughts turned from sarcasm to fright as I grasped....three-on-two...backed into a corner.

Not good.

James smiled down at me, grabbing my backpack. Alice made to grab it back but I stopped her. I was sure James would win in a tug-of-war. Ripping the zip open, he shoved a dirt-encrusted hand in....if I got my bag back, I was disinfecting it with bleach as soon as possible.

Over his shoulder, a strong, pale seized James wrist and pulled it out of my bag, the other hand moved around his waist and jerked it out of his grip. James spun around, both of us gasping when we saw who it was.

Edward looked at James with pure fury.

I'd never seen him so dangerous, so protective, yet it didn't frighten me. I was glad, he could scare away James and any crony of his. "Let's go, we're late for class!" Laurent's comment made me chuckle, as if they cared about education.

Well, they were educated enough to run from Edward at least.

Once they were gone, I noticed they took my form with them. Sighing I walked to the notice again and took another one. "Dang it! Anyone got a pen?" My pen was attached to the form James ran off with.

"Pen-cil?" Alice asked, handing me a sharp pencil. Anything would have sufficed, class started in a few minutes and forms needed to be handed in today, now actually.

"Thanks." I said, using the wall to lean against. I could hear them laughing behind me as I urgently filled it out. "Honestly Bella, our first class is Molina, he won't care if we're five or forty minutes late." I sighed, when would Alice learn it was never okay to be late to miss class unless having a good reason?

Wait to sound like a nerd.

"I just want to get this in on time." Mumbling I walked past them and posted the form in the little slot leading to the Principal's office. It was done, a weight lifted off my shoulders, all there was left was a harmless needle. Nothing I was afraid of, my old arch enemy wouldn't be inside the thin metal.

"Come on, let's go to class." Edward smiled, agreeing with me. I could hear Alice click her tongue in annoyance a step behind us. Obviously she thought of Mr. Molina's History class as waste of time.

How she could think that I'd never know! Stone Age, Medieval Times, the American Revolution! All such great moments in history, my eyes were glued to my book yet next to me, Alice was doodling on hers.

Ah, I could never understand how her mind worked, but all I know is...

I couldn't wait to pack mine with today's lessons!


Night time.

Perfect time for a smoke.

"James what the hell are you doing?!" Laurent, the wimp asked. "What?" I asked back. "Do you know how badly my father will yell if he smells cigarette smoke from my clothes!"

Sighing I stuck the joint back behind my ear, I guess if I did smoke, the bells in this dump would start a ringing and our prank wouldn't work well if we're running from the cops.

The two of us crawled through the window I jammed open in the jack's, or as Laurent said lavatories. Once in we easily kicked down the door and were on the corridor.

Finding the assembly hall was easy. Opening my gym bag, I pulled out the water balloons filled with rotten sauce from the cafeteria, eggs and toilet paper. Oh the fun this is gonna be!

After the assembly hall was nicely decorated, me and Laurent were about to sneak back out when I noticed another room that was under-designed.

As we trashed Principal Mason's office, I pulled open his desk drawers. Flinging paper over my head, one sheet caught my name.

Student's Name: Isabella Swan.

I recognised the sheet as one exactly like the one I stole from little Swan earlier, it was that stupid Swine Flu jab form. I remembered something she said though to her mini friend.

"Yeah, big-time allergic. Too much of it could kill me."

Hmmm...kill? It would be an interesting sight, especially the joy of watching Cullen's face, crying over his little not-girlfriend. Oh how that would make our little grudge into something more.....interesting.

Taking one of Mason's fancy pens, I scribbled out her little allergy and in its place I wrote in her girly writing. None....sounded smart enough. Laughing to myself, I decided the office was now nicely designed and called Laurent to stop.

Tomorrow, I'd actually enjoy coming to school.

Just to see Cullens face when his precious Bella died by my doing.


Oooooooooo....dark James! It was hard to try writing a...less vocabular character and also having that almost animalist killer line of thought.

Well.....Is Bella's fate sealed in stone or can the future always change?

Bella and the Needle all relies on your readers!

Mel out :)
