Okay I know this is completely different but I was watching Cutting edge and I have the most amazing idea at the time so I thought hey why not.
Okay first Bella lives in the small town of Forks with her dad, Charlie her mom lives in Phoenix with her new husband, Phil. Bella is a figure skater trying to go pro at nationals. One thing she is a klutz's.
The Cullen's and Hales move to fork just recently, they needed the privacy. Okay so I'm messing up the pairings but, Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Edward, Esme and Carlisle.
Okay it's their first day of school from being here for one week.

(Em POV)
I was sat at the table with my family in the small crowded cafeteria, Man this was boring. For the many yeas we have been here I didn't think anything could compare to the slowness that was to day.
Edward was trying to block the mass of mental voices out, I did feel a bit sorry for him at times. Who knows what he has to listen to, especially with all the girls that look at him. But being what we are it's hardly his fault.
Yes what we are... we are vampires, monsters of the night as some put it. We didn't drink human blood, we didn't want to be true monsters, well the odd occasion where we had our little slip ups but nothing over that. It was hard to resist, very hard, next to impossible.
After years of patience we managed to fight the blood lust, the strong calling, we were able to attend school to perfect our restraint.
This was our fourth school in many years, I lost count ages ago. I get bored easily if you couldn't tell.
So any way we were sat at the table of our new school, no one was brave enough to talk to us, it was the usual, Edward was our look out with his gift, listening to people's thoughts to see of they knew about us, Alice was my sister, she was as important to us as Edward is, she could see the future. This was good because she would be able to tell if we were in danger, but when you you want to bet or challenger her to a game of any sort she would always win, like Edward no one really wanted to play against them.
It's fun telling them they can't use their powers, we all know they try but its something that can't stop... it was funny though. Jasper was the one who calmed down everything, he can manipulate emotions, although he only does it to calm people down and make them relaxed.
Rosalie was the only one with out a useful talent, well unless being vain was useful. We got along but not chummy. I didn't fall in love with her when I first met her and she was kind of pissed at me, I think... I liked a woman with a sense of humor not one who cares how they look all day and night, every day and night.
It was funny to annoy her, but Edward would always stop me before I could even try sometimes. That was so annoying, he never had fun. He would spend every minuet of the day with Rosalie and at night... well lets not go there, we may not be related but they are still family and it's not very nice to have to listen. Frigging rabbits is all I'll say.
"Oh there they are. Bella their the new one's." I heard an annoying voice say from across the cafeteria, it wasn't much fun having beyond good hearing when you have to listen to people like that.
Edward snorted and hid his face. "What's so funny?" I asked eying him, what had he heard?
"Girls minds aren't very interesting... except you my love." he said making all gooey eyes at Rose, gross.
I looked around the room trying to find who had spoken about us, just for something to do. Every so often I would meet a pair of eyes before they snapped away, they never were able to look at us for more then a few seconds, if that.
I was so happy, they were scared of us already, and it was what not even one day yet we were still odd at keeping that look of fear but yet not. I amazed myself. I was the biggest and the tallest of our little coven, little, did I say little, we were the biggest coven around, well nearly. The Volturi was the biggest, meanest and basically the rulers of the vampire world.
I looked around once more making a quick scan on the room and all the people in it. That's when my eyes met with a pair of chocolate brown eyes. Those eyes were captivating, the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen.
Those eyes moved from mine and looked at the rest of my family. A slight blush fell on her cheeks dusting them with the most loveliest shade of pink. She looked away as if uninterested. I heard her the girl standing next to her.
"Oh my... have you seen the big one." she said looking right at me, I cringed away from the voice, just another peppy girl. Great, like the last few schools we went to, theses girls were self obsessed and always out to make them selves popular and not a miss fit. I thought that this being a small school and all that this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
I was wrong, I looked back to the table and sighed, this was going to get boring yet again. Trying to live a normal life when you were far from normal, it was enough to make anyone laugh
"Mike told me that the blond male, Jasper Hale and the small girl, Alice Cullen are going out, the same with the blond girl, Rosalie Hale and the God like Bronze haired one, Edward Cullen, pity really but then again the big ones not that bad to look at... actually he's pretty cute. He's called Emmett."
I looked up again to see the same pair of chocolate eyes, she looked bored with the conversation she was having with her friend but being polite to listen. She looked away blushing once more, she was a pretty thing, plane but with an unknown beauty.
"I don't get it." Edward muttered under his breath.
I looked at him like the rest of my family did, what was he on about this time?
"What?" we all asked.
"I can't hear her thought's." he said looking up and away from us.
"What?" said the rest of us, who? And how?
"The girl you were looking at, I can hear her friends non stop dribble about us but nothing from her." I looked up back to the girl, she was sat with a group of friends now, her face angled down and a soft pucker on her brow, she was obviously in thought, but how come Edward had said he couldn't hear her thoughts.
Was she a mute... no they still thought. A mental mute, is that even possible?
"No, every one thinks even a mute." Edward said answering my thought question.
After a while they seemed to let it slide, no one could work it out so why try to. We would ask Carlisle later, he would know. Alice looked at me, a small smile on her lips.
Edward hissed softly and I turned to look at him. He narrowed his eyes at me. "Stay away from her." he warned, I was confused.
"What I didn't think anything." I said, our little conversation was to low and fast for human ears, which was a good thing, if they heard us hissing then they would have thought something about us was different.
"Edward, he wont hurt her." Alice said looking at him, I hated these quiet conversations they had.
"Will you let us know or are you just going to chatter amongst yourselves?" I asked, it was about me, I wanted to know, I had a right to know.
"Edward, just because you can't hear what she's thinking..." Alice said carrying on as if she didn't hear me.
"She's not one of us, it's wrong Alice." he growled.
"Emmett, she's going to smell better to you then to any one, prepare your self, you have to sit next to her in biology, it's just for today remember so please don't hurt her." she said with out taking her eyes off Edward.
"What?" I asked completely confused now.
"You are going to be sitting next to her in your next lesson and she is going to smell really tempting to you... but please restrain yourself, she's going to be my friend, and I want to met her alive."
Is that what she saw, me killing that girl what was her name... Bella. So that's what Edward must be all upset about, well I will show them. She will be alive and healthy still by the end of the day.
I sat through the rest of lunch thinking about what Alice had said, what did she mean she was going to smell better to me then anyone. What exactly did she see? I didn't look up again, I didn't want to make Edward any madder then he was.
What was his problem, he had Rose, so why stop me from looking. Oh well he was controlling. I had told him many times, I hated not being honest, it was who I was.
My thoughts quickly turned to the Ice hockey try outs at the local skating rink after school, I knew it wouldn't be a big place, nothing in Forks was big.
I was going after school to try out for the team, I already knew I would get on, the size of me is one thing but I could skate better then any pro. Being a vampire came in handy I was good at all sport, I was in my human days... of what I can remember.
I loved Ice hockey and foot ball. I was brutal though, in my last high schools I had been the best player in every team, other teams feared me and tried to keep out my way. Even though I had to hold back a hell of a lot I was still stronger.
It was hard having to hold back that much, if anything I had to hold back on most of my 'human' strength just to fit in.
I thought back to all the times me and Jasper went at it, fighting was better them sport when my brothers would go for it, two against one was even better, I would still beat them, well I didn't usually when Edward was joining in but if you take his mind reading out of the equation I would win no questions asked.
The bell rang and I almost jumped, ha, I let my thoughts run away with me.
I made my way to the biology room with no problems we checked out the school last night, we wanted to blend in as much as we could so not to draw much attention, but with Alice shopping for the best, just in fashion cloths for us we had no chance, I swear the little pixie for a sister couldn't control herself when it came to shopping, that if it was a living, breathing person she wouldn't be able to restrain from drinking the blood.
Edward laughed and looked at me. She was my sister and I loved her but I was right. Edward nodded and walked off smiling with Rosalie. I walked into the biology room in time and made my way to the teacher.
He was a small fellow, no higher then my shoulder when he stood straight. His face dropped slightly when he looked at me. Yes I was extremely pale and beautiful, to human eyes, I was huge compared to most humans my age, supposedly age. My eyes were different all together, they were amber very different from human colors.
"Mr Cullen, Take a seat next to Miss Swan at the back there." he said tearing his eyes away from me. I wanted to laugh, no doubt what he was thinking, 'Was that kid on steroids.' Edward had told me what people were thinking on the first day of our first school, I was huge.
I turned to where he pointed at the back of the class, and there she was the brown eyed girl. Her long brown hair tumbling across her shoulders and down her back in soft waves, her pale skin shades more tanned then mine, was it the weather that had done this to her. I made my way to the empty seat next to her slowly tying to make my movements more human like.
She had her head down and head phones in, pulling them out she wound them around the small devise and shoved it in her pocket. That's when her scent hit me, it was the most mouthwatering taste ever, I swallowed the venom that pooled in my mouth, and stopped my breathing. My throat burned with the thirst of her blood. No wonder Alice was telling me to prepare.
I was not going to hurt this girl, Alice had warned me and I was very thankful she did. I would not hurt this girl. Holding my breath was easy but uncomfortable, every vampire didn't need to breathe but did out of habit,
She looked up as I pulled the stool out from under the table, her brown eyes caught mine and I was unable to turn away, her eyes didn't rank over my body as other females did when they saw me, she kept eye contact and I was lost in them.
"Hey." I managed to say taking my seat and still holding my breath. "I'm Emmett."
"Bella." she said with a polite small smile on her lips. I forced myself to look away, it was rude to stare, Wait I'm turning into Edward. I almost shuddered at the thought. Bella looked away and I was free from her eyes.
I needed to breath, wait scrap that no I didn't, I'm already dead... it was getting to be uncomfortable to breathe. I took a small mouth full of air, it wasn't as bad if I breathed through my mouth. My throat burned non the less, but I knew it was something I could get used to. I hoped.
"Bella," said the blond boy to my right, he looked at me in a weird way before looking at Bella. His hair was short and spiked up into small spikes, he did have that boy next door look but there was nothing there that would interest anyone. But then again I am still male and hey I don't swing that way, if you know what I mean. "Can I still catch a ride with you, after school."
"Yeah I said you could about sixty times today." Bella said, I noticed the annoyed tone she had used but the boy next to her didn't, he smiled and started a string of thanks. "Mike seriously shut up." I wanted to laugh, she was angry, I liked that, and yet it had no effect on the boy, he just smiled and looked away.
She was a small girl, at least a foot and a half smaller then me. She looked so frail and fragile sat there on a stool, more so then normal humans. There was something about the way she held herself that was different, she hunched her shoulders but her back was straight. Weird. She wasn't much of a beauty but a plane beauty, clear skin, no make up, again that was weird most girls her age wore makeup, her lips in a small full pout as she concentrated.
The teacher started the lesson and I was asleep, I had no idea what he was going on about and to be honest I didn't really care. When we were set to do work sheets I looked at it and almost swore. What the hell is this crap. Not one bit of the page made any sense, I was a vampire and yet I was scared by a piece of paper. Again I wanted to laugh.
"Do you want help?" came her voice.
"I have no idea what all this means." I said looking up at her, she smiled and pushed her already answered page to me.
"Well working out equations can be hard if you don't know what the numbers and symbols are, but there is an easy way around it." she pointed to the letters and numbers, "you see there are the same letters in each part of the problem." and once again I was lost in her voice and face... Focus. "so when yo use the same letters just add the numbers next to them and there's the answer."
"Right." I sighed not really getting it but hey who needs science when your a vampire with a hell load of money... I didn't.
"You still don't get it do you." she stated with a small smile, I looked around the room quickly, no wonder she was smiling only three others and herself had no trouble whilst the rest of the class was trailing behind completely confused like me.
"Nope not one bit, but it doesn't matter, I'm moving tomorrow any way." her smile faded. This made me happy she didn't want me to go, even though she hardly knew me. I had to take another breath if I was going to talk to her. Slowly seeping it thought my mouth I forced my body to freeze. Her scent hit me but again not as hard as it was the first time.
"Why?"
"They needed to sort out my timetable, I got held back a year in my last school so they don't know where to put me." I chuckled.
"Oh." she turned away. Why did I say that, now she probably thinks I'm an imbecile... wait what do I care.
"I'm more of a sport person then math and science." I tried to explain.
"oh." she said again looking up at me. That small smile back on, was she just being polite like she was to the rest of her friends or was it a real smile.
The teacher called for the classes attention, of course I made it look like I was listening to him but I was watching the girl, she was so interesting. Seeking a small sniff thought my nose, I gripped the under lip of the table hard, I felt it crunch under my hand and I know if I kept this up people will see and get suspicious.
I let go and made my self calm, Jasper would have been proud, I calmed myself with out his help. For the rest of the lesson I noticed the blond boy give me a few evil glances when he thought no one was looking, Mike was his name I think.
As the bell rang I got up slowly still playing human, Bella stood and held onto the table as if she was about to fall. Was she a clumsy person? She pulled her bag over her shoulder and turned to me.
"See you." she smiled and it warmed her eyes. She turned and walked off out of the lesson followed by a shy girl like Bella.
v
I went to my next lesson in a daze, she was amazing, kind, selfless and considerate, but most of all she was beautiful.
I saw Edwards small smile before anyone else's as I walked into the class room, he saved me a seat next to him.
"How was biology?" he asked, he had changed his tune, what was he planning.
'Good, didn't understand a thing.' try as hard as I could I tried to keep my thoughts from her, Bella.
"You did well. She smells good." I hissed, he had been listening to me again, he had smelt her... I would not let him touch her. "Wow there I didn't mean anything by it, I was just saying you did well to resist temptation with her." I was so glad no one else could hear us.
"Tell Carlisle where I've gone after school." I said looking away from him.
"I will, oh and try not to break any ones bones today." I grumbled in response, my mood had been dampened. This girl was doing weird things to me and I have only just met her. I was prepared to fight my brother for her. I was happy that Edward kept his thoughts and actions to himself as that thought crossed my mind. But what was happening to me?
For the rest of the lesson I managed to keep my thoughts off her and on my work, I actually learned something, Spanish was a boring language. I could speak it, not as well as my other family members but enough to be able to converse with someone.
'Hey Ed, I'm sorry, I don't understand what I feel at the moment.' that was so lame but it was true and I knew he could see it to.
"Don't worry about it, I got all in a huff at lunch, she sounds like a nice girl, I was reading one of her friends minds and they thought she was the kindest person they had met."
I smiled, I was right. 'I'm going to kick your ass when I get home, just to relieve my strength, not looking forward to holding back to much, I'll wait till it's the first match.'
Edward chuckled and nodded.
When the final bell rang I got up and left with Edward. Leaving him at the doors I waved to the rest of my family. I wanted to walk to the ice rink, it wasn't far, thought that wasn't a problem for me. I just wanted some space.
Making sure I walked slow enough to get there on time, maybe just a little early but not late. I was half an hour early, I must have walked a little faster then I thought, I was thinking about the girl and how she was able to block Edward out. Did she know about vampires and mind reading vampires? No she couldn't have.
Maybe it was a fluke. It's not my problem, if Edward gets annoyed he should just think of the times he wished he couldn't read minds... that should shut him up.
I got to the ice rink, and walked in I could hear music and shouts as I walked to the front desk.
"Hello love how can I help you?" said a large round woman.
"I'm here for the Hockey try outs." I said smiling at her, this always worked no matter how old the woman is, she was always flustered if you smile nicely at them.
"Oh it's to the door on the right and it will be starting in thirty minuets." he said blushing and dropping her pen. I grinned my famous impish smile and turned to the direction she had told me to go.
"Thanks." I called back as I walked through the doors. I made my way down the levels of seats and took one not to far from the bottom. I pulled my skates out my bag and replaced them for my shoes.
I loved the ice it felt free, it was cold and hard like me.
I heard a soft crack and a few gasps. I looked up and noticed that the ice had six people on. Five skated around whilst one was lead on her back.
"Not again." I wanted to laugh, I bet it was a figure skating lesson, that girl was obviously the worst skater there. "Bella what happened?"
Bella? I snapped my head back up, and sure enough there she was sitting up from the ice I had to fight the urge to rush down there and make sure she was alright, I couldn't tell why just that I had the feeling to. I couldn't smell her mouthwatering scent, the air must be to cold for it to spread through the room, for that I was thankful.
Why did I feel like that? She got up and dusted the flakes of ice off the back of her sweat pants.
"Sorry." she said softly, her cheeks flaming crimson. I sat back down noticing I was stood up.
They skated for a bit more the others doing tricks that looked impressive, Bella on the other hand fell most of the time. She did a few moves with out falling but when someone got a bit close to her she went down.
"Alright session's over. Have some dinner and a good night sleep... remember five tomorrow morning, no later... Bella you have fifteen minuets of time left... please don't hurt yourself." said the lady who was obviously the teacher or coach. "And the try outs for your new partner is tomorrow. We need one ASAP if you still want a chance at regionals... but with your accident proneness I doubt you'll make it." she added under her breath, Bella wouldn't have heard it but I did and I had mixed emotions about it, I wanted to laugh, she was a clumsy person... but her coach had no faith in her.
The other skaters left the ice and Bella stood in the center. She waited till they had all left and looked around missing me completely.
She pushed off gliding smoothly on the ice, she did a few laps and I watched her face, it looked so free and calm, tranquil and at peace. I couldn't take my eyes off her.
She started to go faster and faster. Raising her arms out to her sides she spun and skated backwards. My eyes widened.
Still skating backwards she kicked her leg out and leaped of the ice, my mouth opened, she was actually skating, I had a bad feeling she was going to fall as she landed... I was proved wrong, I watched as she landed perfectly gliding smoothly on the ice.
She spun a few times without leaving the ice and skated into a large circle where she picked up speed. She straightened her self out and leaped once more into the air lifting her legs to the side, completing a full split. Before landing perfectly again. I was amazed, she was so clumsy one minute and... perfect the next.
"She's brilliant isn't she." I almost jumped, I hadn't realized someone was sat next to me, I turned to the woman, the coach from before.
"Yeah." I said acting as if I had know she was there all along.
"You wouldn't believe she was the same person from watching her before." her eyes went back to Bella and I gladly copied.
"No." I was unable to believe she was the same person.
"She's very self conscious and that lets her down, she was made for the ice." she said as Bella lifted her leg taking hold of her boot that was still on the ice and creating a vertical line. "Bad partnership made her that way... never has she had a good partner, her last one left for more money, leaving her heart broken, all she wanted was to go to regionals." she sighed and stood, "Such a waste if we cant find someone for her." the coach turned and walked off.
What did she mean bad partnerships? I watched Bella perform some stunning moves, watched her body move into each move fluently and gracefully. Her body perfectly angled for each take off and landing, her soft curves under the sweats she wore, they did noting to hide her body to my eyes, I could see all the soft lines of her body. She was perfect in every way, and yet again I couldn't tell what it was that I was feeling.
She ended spinning slowly and working up to a fast blur. It would have been a blur to human eyes but I could capture the slightest movement she made without even trying to focus on her. She slowed and finally stopped. She skated to the side and hopped onto the seat in front of her. Putting the blade protectors onto her boots she began to take them off.
"Bella!" Came the voice of the boy in our biology class. I suppressed a growl as I saw him rush to her. "How did practice go?"
"Fine." she said simply packing her boots into her bag and heave it onto her shoulder, she swayed under the weight but corrected herself quickly.
I wanted to take her away from the boy, I didn't like the way he talked to her, he always said things that sounded like they mean other things. But what if she liked this Mike.
"I was thinking about trying out for your partner tomorrow." he said with a smile obvious in his voice. I bet he was, did he ever leave her alone.
"But you can't figure skate." she said trying to argue in a polite way. She was to kind for her own good, so selfless.
"It can't be much harder then Ice Hockey." he said smiling, if I didn't know any better I would have thought she had cringed. If he was on the hockey team there was no way I was going to join, but then again I could make his life hell, I could 'accidentally' slip. The thought made me smile evilly.
"Mike, it's more complex then hockey..." she began to say.
"Have blades, skate well, do a few spins and jumps what's so heard about that, I can do that already." he butted in, I wanted to walk over there and teach him some manners, Wow Edward is seriously rubbing off on me.
"What ever, I have to go my dad's waiting for me." she walked to the doors and waved at him.
"Thanks for the lift by the way. I'll see you tomorrow, at school and try outs." That's it, I was not going to be on the hockey team with him, I was not going to let him try out... I was and I would get it, no way in hell was I going to let Bella be partners with that over confident fool. He'd end up dropping her or something.
I changed my blades for my shoes at my speed and ran from the building, no one saw me, no one ever did. I loved being a vampire at times. I ran home faster then I had before, I felt high.
I needed to know how to figure skate and soon. I needed to become her partner, I knew it was the wrong thing to do but I couldn't let Newton be close to her, wow I actually remembered his full name. I'm getting good.
On the way I went to the film rental shop and pick a few skating movies up, I have to say the guy behind the counter looked at me funny, I grimaced and said in a you should know voice. "Girl friend won the bet." he grinned and shook his head.
"Never let the girl place bets, they always win." I laughed, I bet he had experience in the matter he was old enough to.
I got home in no time at all. As soon as I walked into the house I was confronted by Alice.
"Here I got all the books on Figure skating I could find." I was slightly taken aback, I thought they would have made fun of me, I was waiting for them to never let it drop, and use it against me in everything.
"Edward wont bother you, neither will Jasper." She said smiling at me, she usually got along well with Edward not me. "Rose may be a bit trouble some, she's out hunting with Edward at the moment, and she's not chuffed that you find Bella more appealing then her, so be warned, you are not in her good books at the moment... and oh there are a new pair of figure skates in your room... your hockey ones wont do." she smiled and danced off.
I laughed when was I ever, I never looked at her more then a sister, even if Edward wasn't around, Sure she was beautiful, beyond beautiful, but Bella had the plane beauty and she was a nice person, not saying Rose wasn't but she loved herself a little to much.
I ran to my room and put the first film in, sitting on the floor I locked myself in place, my eyes glued to the screen. I felt like a TV junkie. I Analise all the movements the skaters made and watched how they performed, I needed to get this right if I didn't I stood no chance.
v
I watched all the films and read all the books. I knew most of the moves, a waltz jump, Salchow, toe loop, loop, flip, Lutz and Axel. The rest will come with time, all I needed now was to try it out.
I made my way down to the main room and sat next to Esme, my adopted mother, she was a sweet woman.
How was I going to test it out though? I had memorized each movement, each fractional twitch that you were meant to do to perform the best trick. I should be fine. It couldn't be that hard, wait it could but just not for me. I had seen how the partner work is done and I was strong enough for it even holding back, I was fast enough to catch her if she fell or I dropped her, which wouldn't happen.
So I sat back on the couch in the main room and sighed, bring on tomorrow, Mike Newton doesn't stand a chance against me.
I will go to the early morning practice so I can watch how they do the moves, and to see her.
