Twilight- Chapter 1- Too Good To Taste
Disclaimer:I do not own twilight, nor do I own anything except for my own little add ins. Like characters or settings.
Author's Notes: I have read the whole twilight saga so I know what is happening in the future so these should hard and fast, but I will have to adapt quite a bit of it because the story in a whole is based around a character that doesn't get involved in most of the film so she may be added where you may disagree so sorry but that is how I roll, enjoy! :)
When she first began in this school, her smell was unbearably luscious. I didn't really smell her until we were both in the cafeteria. She was sat so far away but as the hustle and bustle of the cafeteria whooshed past me and my siblings I almost cried because of the difficulty of not rushing over there and taking her for myself. But Edward got dealt a bad hand that day, stupid school!
Her hair was brunette, a dark shade. She had hazel eyes too, and dressed so casual, but on that first day she was in a baggy tee shirt from what I assumed was her home town, that I later found out was Phoenix. Her name was Isabella, Isabella Swan, but she preferred Bella, as throughout that day she was constantly correcting people "Just Bella," and "I don't like Isabella," natural to like to have an abbreviation of your name, but I could sense the detest of this full name. At that lunch, Edward was well and truly infatuated with her. He never took his eyes off her after he walked by. We hadn't hunted in a while, and I suggested cutting the afternoon classes but he wanted to stay. Strange.
As we walked through the cafeteria, I think her name was Jessica, she was giving Bella the 411 on our family. First to walk past was Rosalie and Emmett, she used words like strong and muscular for Emmett. She seemed to recognise him well. His extremely short black hair made him look like he was on leave from the army, with a buzz-cut kind of hairstyle. Plus his well built exterior just made the profile suit better. Then for Rosalie, Jessica didn't sound too fond. Like Rosalie was a type of threat, like she had a chance with any of the boys in our group, if only she knew. But Rosalie had a good body, she had an hour-glass figure going on, with the blonde hair and the gold eyes, Emmett was lucky they were married, at least practically. Jess was appalled by them holding hands, and being all couple like. She thought it was morally wrong and weird, as they live together. She doesn't know that they share a room though does she?
Next was Alice and Jasper. They were in the puppy love phase still. Alice had a pixie hair cut. Short but with strands going in all directions, her hair was so unique in colour with the natural highlights. Jessica said "she is way weird," we all are! And then jasper, a cute, shy boy. The newest addition to our family the Cullen's. He had the same shade of hair as Rosalie, but his was darker under, nearer his roots but his hair went up, looking like a mullet minus the 'party in the back'. The same appal was given to Alice and Jasper, also walking in holding hands.
Then there was me. Not the most astonishing of my family, that went hands down to Rosalie but I was decent. My light brown mousy hair, with a blonde tint, draping down to the small of my back. My eyes, a deep amber today, I hadn't looked I just knew. I hadn't fed in a while. I was medium hight, with pretty much the rest of me average. I was no show stopper, but I got approached more due to the fact that I wasn't as stuck up as Rosalie or as... socially challenged as Alice. I seemed, friendlier than the others. On my way to the table guys would stare at me, but I just blanked them. I wasn't in the mood to turn down another guy. I hate doing it because that would involve physical contact, which would include the spilling of Q&A, I was not allowed to answer those questions.
And trailing shortly behind me was the well known boy of the school, and heartthrob none the less was Edward Cullen. This one in particular caught Bella's eye. His skin was crisp. His hair, the perfect amount of messiness, and a shade of bronze that you would just love to put your hand through, you know, if you weren't mentally related. His smile, glistening brighter than anyone of the Cullen's. I heard Jess's' tone grow bitter, then I remembered the total embarrassment she got when he totally blew her off. She cornered him after English class and asked him out full on, people watching too. He just shook his head and dashed for the door. She hasn't quite gotten over him, as she said 'no girl is good enough for him,' meaning 'I'm not his type and I just cant seem to handle it.' Stupid human. When we were all finally seated, the rest of us going about our daily business. The infatuation began.
Something interesting about our species is some have special abilities, but always have something they are better at or more suited for. Carlisle, our father, has a suspicion that whatever we were mostly good at, or something that stood out about us before we were bitten we inherit as our special... thing. Alice can see the future, she was previously sent to a psychiatric ward after thinking she was psychic. Carlisle has his compassion, Emmett has his strength, the idiot got into a fight with a bear. Rosalie has her.... pigheadedness, she was desired heavily in her day, and Esme, our mother like figure has her motherly attitude, she once had a child, but it died. Then there is me and Edward, our powers are in the mind. Edward can read minds. I on the other hand, can control minds. If someone's mind is weak, I can just invade their brain and they will do it without hesitation, but if someone is persistent, I have to say it out loud. Humans can't hear it, but my family can when I have to voice my control. It echoes.
Our family like to imitate the human way of life. We get trays, we get food but we never consume it, we just play with it. No-one watches us eat any more, there was a time when we first enrolled we were the talk of the school, everyone watched us and tried to get in with us, but we just didn't really acknowledge them and they soon got the message and gave up. And now we were far from noticed, as Bella was the talk of the school. "Edward?" I asked, him blanking me at first. "Edward?" I sung a little, harmonious like our whole family does. He still ignored me. I rolled my eyes at his gaze and used my power. "Edward look at me!" it bellowed on our table, but no one looked to us. His face turned to mine.
"Yes?" he said solemnly. His eye shifting to its corner again.
"Don't even think about it," I warned. He looked puzzled for a moment. "The new girl!" he frowned. "You don't need your power to see what's in your mind at the moment. I smelt her too, but... you know you cant even talk to her, or savage her. So do the family a favour and let her go!"
He sighed, picking up his fork, and messing around with his eggs. "I don't... think I can." his eyes went black.
"Well you are gonna have to try. We like it here right guys?" the whole table nodded in unison. "Then it's settled, now be a man and grow a pair!" Alice snickered silently, Edward's eyes turning to the opposite corner to glare as best he could under my orders.
He inhaled deeply, trying to relax and loosen his temper. He always had difficulty controlling his temper in the best of situations, but with the best blood I have smelt to date in the same room, locked on him it became 30 billion times harder.
The bell rang for the first time and we almost glided to our lesson. Bella noticed this. She seemed to notice everything about us. I took my usual seat on the back row, my own row practically. Because all the guys on my row were hunched up in a corner. Me and Edward liked our space, and since I convinced every guy in our class minus my brother to sit on the opposite side of the desk, I had my space. I don't like people all up in my space. We spent majority of our time sat together in the first place so we decided to take some time to be alone. And now I regret that decision. Because the last person we wanted, or needed to walk through the door was Bella Swan. He looked behind to face me, I couldn't do anything, once we were assigned seats it was permanent. Bella walked through, with Mike Newton on her arm. She smiled at the teacher and walked in front of the fan, right in Edward's direction. I stood up and walked to the front. "Um Mr Banner?"
"Yes Jal?" he smiled, pleasant by my vary rare approach to him, I don't go to teachers a lot of the time, he was going to brag about this.
"I am feeling a little queezy, can I take a seat next to my brother please. I think the fresh air will do me good." I turned my head to the side and smirked a little, letting Edward know my plan in my thoughts.
"I am sorry Jal, but seats are assigned. I cannot permit you to change seats. Go back to your desk." I rolled my eyes. Took a breathe and continued.
I smiled cheerfully. "I am sorry but I must sit next to my brother, please?" I looked cute when I needed to and he caved, of course!
"All right, I will trust you two." he motioned Edward to get up, and I approached my on edge brother.
"Thank you!" I giggled, "c'mon Edward. Scoot!" I smirked, ear to ear.
He got up, and switched seats. I opened the window, letting the cool air and rain splatter my face. "Um Bella, take a seat at the back for today kay?" he asked, the answer obvious. If she refused it would mean 'see me at the end of the lesson!' or 'Detention Miss Swan!'. Her shoulders slumped as she trudged to the back of the class. Still staring. Take a damn picture already! We will show up you know!
Mr Banner babbled on to us with a lecture on 'Cellular Anatomy', something Edward and I had previously studied on countless occasions. A+'s for us two, we are such nerds! I didn't even listen to half of his dribble, maybe just an A for me. I wasn't the only one not listening, I knew Bella wasn't, I couldn't hear the scribble of her pencil, or the flipping of pages in her note book. She was just staring, at us, obviously. There was nothing on the board of interest. Unless you like looking at amoeba's splitting apart.
The bell rang and I just sat there, Edward doing the same. And just when Bella got up, and walked past, I don't know what took over him but he just shoved past her, knocking her off her feet a little. My eyes widened in shock at his less than chivalrous action. I clutched her waist pulling her back on her feet. She looked at me and was sort of shocked, not sure whether it was my eyes, with the deep amber colour, or my action of friendliness going against our loner façade. She blinked at me until I shifted my hand from her waist to her shoulder, jerking it away once I was sure her balance was fine in an abrupt manner. I began to walk away and she grabbed my hand. "Er... thanks," she muttered, a little but of a deep, emotionless voice.
"You are very welcome!" I cheered, I don't like being cruel. As I hurried out of the classroom, I searched for Edward. Scanning the crowd of people, he must have gone to class. I began to saunter to gym class, realising Bella was behind me. I slowed until she was at my side and I walked by her. "So how you liking Forks? I hear you are from phoenix." I conversed, trying to sound pleasant.
"It's okay, I guess. I miss the sun, does it ever show here?" she pondered, looking to the ceiling, I assumed was signalling to the sky through the sky lights. She sighed heavily, she didn't like rain I guessed.
"Sometimes, but I don't see it. Me and my family camp when its sunny." too much information Jal. She took that in and looked not phased by it. Phew! "You don't like the weather?" she shook her head violently, "If you don't mind my asking, why did you move here?"
"My mom got remarried and is on the road with her new hubby, so I thought I needed stable ground and moved in with my dad." she was staring at the floor, almost walking into the door with absent-mindedness, I had to held it out in front of her, the last thing I need is her cutting her head on a clunky metal swinging door.
In the changing rooms I was always ready first. The plain white polo shirts and the blue shorts. I had short shorts, I had the legs for them, might as well flaunt them right? But I always carried the mandatory version in case the teacher Coach Clapp noticed. " Well Miss Swan," she began, "since you lack uniform, I will have to assign you some from the used closet."
"Um Coach?" I called, her chunky body swerving round to face my direction. "I always bring spares, Bella can borrow them until she can get a hold of some herself," I offered, Coach Clapp clicking her fingers at me motioning Bella to my side. I balanced them on my hand as I brushed through my hair with my other hand.
"Thanks again, you seem to have my back... and my front today!" she joked, and she spoke the truth, I saved her face twice from a bad injury and her metaphorical 'back'.
I shoved my hair into a ballet bun in a matter of seconds with great ease, and laughed at her joke. "Don't mention it, you just owe me!"
Volleyball. 3 syllables. Mass-a-cre. Bella almost hit me 8 times on the head with what jess labelled as 'killer spikes'. Killer is an understatement. It felt her hit could do a better job at genocide than Hitler than anyone else. Constant apologies came and went till she was sent off.
I changed swiftly back into my black skinny jeans and my belt with diamond belt buckle. Slipping my cream coloured silk blouse over my head letting the last two buttons hang open to show the buckle and slipped on my black half jacket, coming just below my rib cage. I walked out into the hall and remembered my hair was still in bun mode, so I pulled out the hair pin and let my light brown locks of curls drape back down to my small and swished it around. Okay I knew the guys were watching but I didn't care, what idiot walks back in to fix her hair when all it does is hang there?
I walked down the hall with a smile on my face. I heard one guy yell 'ow!' when his friend had smacked the back of his head. I loved this strange power over men, but I don't use it to my advantage.
The parking lot was full of people just leaning on each others cars, complaining about their last lesson being incredibly boring, or difficult, or how they cant wait for the end of the year. I rolled my eyes, how can they just wish away their education like that? But then I was stopped in my tracks. Alice looked depressed, Jasper rubbing her shoulder with sympathy. Rosalie had her head in Emmett's chest and Emmett whispering words of comfort.
I ran over there and acknowledged the scene better. "What's happened? Where's Edward?" if I was human I would have hyperventilated and have fallen to floor. I looked at Alice who matched my gaze, shaking her head in shame.
"Why didn't I see this coming?!"
"Its not your fault," Jasper counteracted. And she shook her head.
"Alice! What did you see?" she looked at her lap, putting her head in her hands. "Somebody tell me what is going on!"
Alice suddenly shot up and took my shoulders into her hands. "Edward has left for Alaska, to go and stay with the Denali coven. Its because of Bella," she sighed, sitting back down on the hood of the car. I turned and glanced at Bella's truck, Bella facing her truck but glancing at us from time to time. I growled, and everyone looked up.
"Let's get home, now!" I yanked the door open and climbed in, the others copying my action. The drive home was especially rushed, not just because I could. The trees seemed especially blurred as I approached our big modern house. The porch doors had Carlisle and Esme already stood in them, they knew too. Esme was crying dry tears and I felt for her, she lost her first son because of some especially tasty smelling human. "What happened?" I called as I ran from inside the garage.
"He asked for the car. Stated his reasons and I gave him the keys," Carlisle said full on. What the actual hell!? "Before you judge me, he would have drank her dry today if he hadn't the amazing control he has developed. I didn't want to chance a rebound, he has before. He will be back Jal, you have to believe that!" I did. I did believe it, I just didn't want to. The fact he left in the first means that he doesn't love us as much as we think, well at least that is how I feel.
When I first became a vampire, Edward got me a charm bracelet, which I haven't taken off since. But in such a rage I slid it off my wrist and threw it on the floor. I ran to my room and just sat there, mulling my thoughts. Why would he leave and not tell me? Why would he do this to Esme? Why would he do this too our family? Why?
P.S- When things are in italics it is when Jal is using her power, just so you know. I hope you enjoy my stories as the night before I began to write, I read the first book and watched the movie twice and felt the urge to carry on since I couldn't get new moon for a while :) so please keep reading and enjoy what I have to give. Also there will be Jacob involved so the team Jacob fans wont be disappointed if they even read this haha. And with the coach, the book doesn't even mention gender so I just decided to make it like my P.E teacher (or gym teacher to the Americans). Please read and review and favourite etc. because I want to know what you guys think of it, I love this film and the books so I hope I do it justice.
Chapter 2 coming soon to a fanfic near you!
