Chapter one
BPOV
I was in the hallway of Forks High School just getting my books for my next class. Usually my special someone would be right here with me, trying to probe into the mystery of my mind, but all that changed when a few months ago his family just left. It all started with my 18th birthday.
The Cul-ouch-they were throwing a birthday party for me even though I seriously was begging them not to. So I was opening my presents when, klutzy me, got a paper cut. A paper cut. And then the one Cullen who had the less control decided to go and take a bite out of me. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him for anything, I mean, they're his instincts, it's what you're supposed to do. So he decides to take a snap at me, the others hold him back and Edw-ouch. That's worse.- moved me out of the way by pushing me in to some glass, (which I have no idea was there in the first place with me in the house) which results in the glass shattering and getting embedded into my skin which causes more blood. After that, I had all my insecurities confirmed that I was just a toy, and that he never loved me. After that, they left.
The reason why that particular person mentioned above tried to snap at me is because he's a vampire. Actually, the whole family are vampires. They're not the kind that sleeps in coffins, drink human blood (well not all of the vamps), burn during the day, and the stake-through-the-heart death. Nope, that's all Hollywood. Instead, they're the kind that don't sleep at all, drink animal blood rather than human blood; they sparkle in the sun, and can only die if you tear them up and burn them. So really all the perks of being a vampire are: insanely good looks that are better than any model, speed as fast a lightning, strength that anyone could dream of (you could lift a giant tree with no problem at all!), eyesight, hearing, and smell that goes out for miles, and have deathly pale skin. Their hearts don't beat, are ice-cube cold, and they're sterile. They even sometimes get special gifts that are brought over from there human life. There are 3 family members that have gifts; he can read any ones mind (except mine which I think is a blessing), his brother is an empath, and his sister, who is the empath's mate, can see the future. But the future is always changing, so she can only see decisions that will affect that person life.
In the family are 7, 4 males and 3 females, all mates except for him. There is the mother and father figure, the 3 brothers, and the 2 sisters.
So as I was saying before I had to explain my sad excuse of a life, I was walking down the hallways of Forks going to the washroom. Not to do any business, but so that I can get out of class and do some well earned crying. But walking down the halls someone was leaning against the lockers. The guy was pretty attractive, but nothing compared to my once, was Prince Charming. He had close-to-black-but-not-really brown hair and blue eyes that were framed by these weird sapphire blue markings and on his forehead he had a sapphire crescent that was really beautiful, and made me want to reach out and touch it, but I restrained from the urge.
He then proceeded speak directly at me, with a look of seriousness upon his face.
"Isabella Swan! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!"
The mystery man then pointed his finger at me, and abruptly I fell to the floor, clutching my forehead in pain.
I woke up a bit later and I saw this woman with a white fringed dress that was beaded with some strange symbols that I haven't seen before. She was even more beautiful than a vampire, (which is pretty hard to beat) and had long straight hair so black that it looked as if there were blue and purple highlights in it. Almost like ravens wings. Her full lips curved up as she spoke, filling the air with the silver power of her voice.
"Hello, Bella." She said.
"Not to be rude, but, who the heck are you? And how did you know that's my name or I prefer to be called that?" I replied feeling slightly hysterical with every passing second. "And what happened to me? Am I dead? Cause that pain felt like I died!"
I then noticed our surroundings, we were probably just outside of school, the bell still hasn't rung yet which means people still haven't seen my body lying in the hall way.
"Holy shit my body!" I said with realization finally just settling in. I tried coming up with possibilities of what the hell just happened to me. I'm dreaming… I've finally gone crazy… Mike or someone drugged me… I hit my head on something… I'm dead… That thought stuck with me. I'm dead… I finally died… God got a brain and found out I'm not worth anything here… Poor Charlie, who's going to cook for him now? Oh God, Charlie! He won't be able to take this! Renee… Phil… Angela… Jake… Oh God what's going to happen now?
"No Bella, you're not dead. Let me explain," She replied to me noticing that I was on the edge of hysteria, "just calm down."
"Okay, explain." I said back much calmer now. Thank you Lord I am not dead…
"Bella, you have been Marked." She told me.
"Marked? What do you mean Marked?" I asked seriously freaked out right now.
"Marked means that you have been chosen to be a vampyre." She partly explained.
"Vampyre?" I asked sort of confused. I mean, aren't they supposed to bite you, you get injected with their venom, then burn for 3 days in a fire that feels like Hell itself? I didn't know that there was another way. Or maybe, this is just some weird new species of vampires…
"Yes a vampyre. Now let me explain everything that I can, and then you can wake up and follow your destiny." She said with an amused stern look at me. I decided to just let her explain now and then ask questions later, so I just nodded my head quickly.
"Good, now you have been Marked to be a vampyre. As a vampyre you are pretty much still human, but the sun is uncomfortable for you. No burning, just uncomfortable.
"Also as being newly Marked, if you're not around a vampyre who has already Changed, which means an adult vampyre," she explained to me when she saw my questioning eyes, "then you will eventually start dying. And it's not a pretty death. It involves lots of blood. Your blood, if you're the one who's dying.
"To not die, you need to get to a school where all newly Marked vampyres go. A school called The House of Night. The House of Night is informed before-hand about and humans that are to be Changed and then that school will set up for your arrival there.
"At the House of Night, your hours are flipped around so that you sleep during the day and have classes during the night. Also there, there are 4 different kinds of formers. Think of them like high school students, there are the third formers, who would be considered the freshman, the fourth formers, who's considered sophomores, fifth formers as juniors, and sixth formers as seniors.
"Your father was already informed that this will be happening to you so he knows everything along with your mother and step-father.
"May I recommend going to the House Of Night in Tulsa, Oklahoma? There is a fledging there who has extraordinary powers and will take part in the future. The fledglings name is Zoey Redbird. She and her friends and you will have a big challenge waiting ahead for you guys. You may trust her 100% in everything.
"Trust your intuition or gut feeling all the time, and be ready to let people in, if you don't bad things will happen. Don't worry Bella, you're special, and with Zoey you can change the future of what will happen if you don't." She finished explaining to me.
I was getting ready to ask her some questions, but she interrupted me again.
"Don't worry, questions that I can't answer now will be answered in time. Now, what are your questions?"
I cleared my throat, getting ready to speak, "Well, I kinda want to know your name, as you know mine and all."
"Oh, of course! My name is Nyx, but to all vampyres, I'm known as the Goddess Nyx. I guess you could call me like a mother to everyone. You will learn plenty about me," she explained quickly. "next question?"
"Yeah, how did my parents take it? And what will I tell everyone? I mean, Forks is a small town, when one person knows something, everyone knows something!" I said for the third time today getting hysterical. That's a new record, I think.
"Calm down, your parents took everything pretty well when we explained it all, except for the death part. And your father took care of what to tell everyone of where you went. The story is that you were transferred to Tulsa. We just won't mention any school name. You know, for safety reasons." She said giving me a pointed look. I looked down, knowing exactly what she meant, Victoria.
"Of course, Goddess, I won't tell anyone anything." This defiantly isn't the first supernatural secret I kept... I added as an after thought.
"I know Bella Swan, I know all about the Cullens and the La Push pack," I flinched as she said their name. "Oh, I'm sorry Bella, I forgot that you don't like hearing that name. I've been watching over you." She answered to the confusion on my face when she said she was watching over me. Yeah, cause that's just normal.
"Oh, yes, Bella there is one more thing that you should know, when you get back to your body, don't go to class, just head straight to your truck and go straight home. Don't pack, just go home, you'll find your father there, and get to the airport. Head to the ticket counter and then go strait to the plane for Tulsa. You will have someone waiting for you right when you get off the plane who will take you to the House of Night." She told me quickly because her body was slowly disappearing.
"Remember Isabella Swan, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good." She ended with her body disappearing.
Ow, my head, god that hurts bad. When I finished that thought, everything came rushing back to me about the Goddess Nyx. Oh, God, I need to get home! With that thought I got off of the hall way floor, and high-tailed it out of there and ran all the way, surprisingly not tripping, to my truck and straight home.
Alice Cullen POV
I was just sitting on the couch in our Alaskan home not even paying attention to the T.V when I was headed abruptly in a vision. I faintly registered my love Jasper putting his arms around me and asking what I see.
Vision
I was in the hallways of Forks High School for some reason when a teenage girl with really bad fashion sense was walking towards the girls' bathroom. When near the door, the girl noticed that a man who looked to be in his early twenties was leaning against the lockers watching the girl.
Finally, the girl turned around so that I could see who it was… Ohmygod its Bella! Bella looked to be frightened at first by the company and then analyzing him.
The man then said to Bella with a look of seriousness on his face; "Isabella Swan! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!"
The man pointed his finger at Bella, the Bella fell to the cold, hard, marble floors of Forks High, clutching her forehead in pain.
End Vision
Ohmygod, ohmygod! I just saw Bella and that guy did something to her! What did he do to her? That guy was really weird… He had a sapphire crescent on his forehead, along with other sapphire markings framing his eyes.
Just then I was pulled into a vision as abruptly as before, but could only hear voices this time…
Vision
"Hello, Bella." A beautiful, mysterious, feminine voice said.
"Not to be rude, but, who the heck are you? And how did you know that's my name or I prefer to be called that?" My best friend asked, sounding slightly hysterical. "And what happened to me? Am I dead? Cause that pain felt like I died!"
There was a slight pause, but then Bella spoke again...
"Holy shit my body!" Bella said out loud. I wonder what happened. I hope she's okay…
"No Bella, you're not dead. Let me explain," Mysterious person number 2 said, "just calm down."
"Okay, explain." Bella said, seeming much calmer now…
"Bella, you have been Marked."
"Marked? What do you mean Marked?" Bella has been getting freaked out a lot right now…
"Marked means that you have been chosen to be a vampyre."
"Vampyre?" Bella said with confusion missed in with her voice.
"Yes a vampyre. Now let me explain everything that I can, and then you can wake up and follow your destiny." The mystery woman paused, and then continued.
"Good, now you have been Marked to be a vampyre. As a vampyre you are pretty much still human, but the sun is uncomfortable for you. No burning, just uncomfortable.
"Also as being newly Marked, if you're not around a vampyre who has already Changed, which means an adult vampyre," I can imagine Bella's questioning gaze, "then you will eventually start dying. And it's not a pretty death. It involves lots of blood. Your blood, if you're the one who's dying.
"To not die, you need to get to a school where all newly Marked vampyres go. A school called The House of Night. The House of Night is informed before-hand about and humans that are to be Changed and then that school will set up for your arrival there.
"At the House of Night, your hours are flipped around so that you sleep during the day and have classes during the night. Also there, there are 4 different kinds of formers.

"Trust your intuition or gut feeling all the time, and be ready to let people in, if you don't bad things will happen. Don't worry Bella, you're special, and with Zoey you can change the future of what will happen if you don't." She finished explaining to Bella.
There was another pause, but this tine it was much shorter than the last.
"Don't worry, questions that I can't answer now will be answered in time. Now, what are your questions?"
I heard Bella clearing her throat, getting ready to speak, "Well, I kinda want to know your name, as you know mine and all."
"Oh, of course! My name is Nyx, but to all vampyres, I'm known as the Goddess Nyx. I guess you could call me like a mother to everyone. You will learn plenty about me," she explained quickly. "Next question?"
"Yeah, how did my parents take it? And what will I tell everyone? I mean, Forks is a small town, when one person knows something, everyone knows something!" Bella said for the third time today getting hysterical. Hmm, a new record…
"Calm down, your parents took everything pretty well when we explained it all, except for the death part. And your father took care of what to tell everyone of where you went. The story is that you were transferred to Tulsa. We just won't mention any school name. You know, safety reasons."
"Of course, Goddess, I won't tell anyone anything." Obviously thinking it wasn't the first secret she kept.
"I know Bella Swan, I know all about the Cullens and the La Push pack," Fudge! The La Push pack? They're back? That's not good. Especially if Bella made friends with that Jacob Black. "Oh, I'm sorry Bella; I forgot that you don't like hearing that name. I've been watching over you." Okay, creepy.
"Oh, yes, Bella there is one more thing that you should know, when you get back to your body, don't go to class, just head straight to your truck and go straight home. Don't pack, just go home, you'll find your father there, and get to the airport. Head to the ticket counter and then go strait to the plane for Tulsa. You will have someone waiting for you right when you get off the plane who will take you to the House of Night." She said to her quickly, for some reason.
"Remember Isabella Swan, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good." The Goddess Nyx ended…
End Vision
"Alice? Alice! C'mon Alice, what did you see?" Jaspers soothing voice said with concern. I can't blame him, I mean, getting pulled into visions like that is almost enough to give me headache.
"I saw… Bella…" I said still a bit in shock. Everyone in the house flinched when I said her name. Even Edward was here, he had worry, fear, confusion, pain and shock shown on his face, obviously reading the two visions from my mind.
Edward quickly nodded his head to confirm my thought.
"What did you see of Be- her Alice?" Carlisle asked with curiosity, pain and worry in his voice, unable to say her name.
"Okay, well I had two visions, actually one was just voices, and the first one was a vision. In the first vision, I saw this girl walking down the hall of Forks High School to the girls' bathroom, near the door, the girl turned around and then I noticed it was Bella. Bella noticed some guy across the hall from her, at first she looked frightened, but the confused." I said, then taking a deep breathe, even though we vampires don't need it, I still feel better with it. The harder part is coming. "the guy then said with these exact words; 'Isabella Swan! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her Sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House Of Night!' pointed his finger at her, then she started clutching her fore-head and fell to the ground." I finished, exhaling the rest of the breath I had taken.
Then a chorus of shocked voices came from the room,
"HE WHAT?" Emmett,
"Clutching her fore-head?" Carlisle,
"Oh, dear…" Esme,
"What's the second vision?" Rosalie surprisingly had some interest and worry in her voice,
"Are you sure?" My sweet Jasper,
"…" And Edward was as silent as ever.
Again, I took another deep breath getting ready to answer the onslaught of questions, "Said some weird words then pointed his finger at her, yes clutching her fore-head, yes I'm sure, and the second vision was practically explaining what happened. In that vision I could hear only two voices, Bella," another deep breath, "and a Goddess named Nyx. She was explaining to Bella that she was Marked to be a vampyre." Again a chorus of shocked and an angry voices came from the room.
"Vampyre?" Carlisle and Jasper,
"Goddess?" Rosalie and Esme,
"Nyx? What kind of name is that? Her parents obviously didn't like her." That was without a doubt Emmett,
"NO!" Edward roared. From all his rage, he punched the wall. I could tell Jasper was having a hard time controlling Edwards and his own emotions. He looked like he wanted to do more than punch a hole in the wall.
Esme didn't scold Edward for the hole in the wall, but she flinched when it happened.
"Alice, please, can you tell us word-for-word of what was said?" Carlisle said still in his calm demeanour.
"Sure." So I explained word-for-word of what was said between the Goddess and Bella.
At the end, everyone calmed down but I could tell that Edward was still mad and blaming himself for this happening to Bella.
"Alice, is there anything we can do to stop this?" Edward said with a stone-like blank face on.
"I-" Then I was cut-off with another vision…
Vision
Flashes of Bella driving home and seeing Charlie flashed in to my mind. From the clock I could see in the house I could tell it was 10:30 am.
More flashes of them in the cruiser-which I could tell to Bella's utter embarrassment-was speeding down the road to the Port Angeles Airport with its lights on appeared in my mind, along with images of Bella boarding and getting off a plane then getting into a car and out the airport. A sign near by said 'You are now exiting the Tulsa Airport'.
The last flash I received was some gates open to a giant, castle-like building.
End Vision
"What's the time in Forks right now?" I said with some urgency in my voice. Let's see… if we leave now, we will be in Forks in 30 min by running and before 10:30 as long as it not after 10:30 now… I thought.
Esme returned from a clock that we had in the kitchen and said, "10:40, Alice, why?" I let out a defeating breath that I didn't know I was holding.
"Because if it was before 10:30 then we would've had a chance to stop Alice's vision from happening." Edward answered for me solemnly.
Everyone who was in the room standing now sat down and bowed they're heads in defeat.
