chapter 1

Bella Swan sighed as she helped her cousin, Evangeline Black move boxes into their new house in a small town...Forks.

God she hated this town. She used to spend two weeks here every summer with her dad; Charlie…but it's been a long time ago since she came back.

Now here she was back in the rainiest town in America… with her most favourite people in the world; her cousins from her mother's side. They had volunteered to accompany her back to stay in Forks.

Renee, her mum had remarried, the guy; Phil was great… a little young perhaps but he made her mum happy. Phil was in the minor league though he wasn't that good. He travelled a lot, but her mum stayed behind with Bella and her brother Tony. But being away from Phil made Renee unhappy, so Bella and Tony decided to move back with her dad…so her mum could travel with Phil.

Her cousins, being close to her had volunteered to move back with her, partly for supporting her and also because the coven have to stick together.

Bella and her cousins were witches…from her mother's side, although her mum was care-free, she didn't quite approve of her magical heritage. It was a burden to her. She said it was a wall blocking out happiness. But Bella disagreed. To Bella her magical abilities were a gift.

Bella's ability was a magical shield, her cousin Evangeline who was like a twin sister to Bella had the power to read minds, Jeanne, another cousin who was sixteen had the ability to read feelings; Gabriel who was nineteen had the power over all elements and was Evangeline's older brother, Antonio or Tony who was Bella's older brother by one year was telekinetic and lastly Dominic who was Evangeline's younger brother had the power to heal. The one thing they all had in common was that they could communicate telepathically to each other, and they could shape shift into any animal of choice.

Charlie was ecstatic to have her move back although she wasn't going to be staying with him. His house couldn't accommodate all six of them, so Charlie found them a new place that was quite close to him so he could keep an eye on them. Even with their own place Bella wasn't happy.

She looked up to the grey sky and cringed. It was going to rain soon… Bella hated the rain…in fact she hated anything wet, cold…which meant rain, snow… the list goes on.

Bella sighed as she entered her new home. It was an old Victoria styled house. It was elegant and was full of character. Bella saw her brother Tony waving his hands around and the things before him were moving as well.

She felt her mood brightened. "What are you doing?" Bella asked her brother with a smile.

Tony turned a flashed her cheeky grin, his brown eyes, the same as hers twinkling "Oh… just redecorating,' he said

"Seriously…the door is wide open …what if someone saw you,' she asked lightly, knowing it was impossible as Evangeline had already set up protection spells all around their new home. Not to mention the huge old trees growing all around helped a lot.

"Who's gonna see? This place is surrounded by trees? Are they going to tell on us?" He grinned at his own joke.

Bella shook her head biting back another smile. "Sometimes I wonder if you are really the older sibling,' Tony laughed.

"She's right you know…"said Evangeline coming in with another box. She passed the box to Tony and muttered thanks.

"Whadaaya mean?" he asked, taking the box and placing it on the floor near by.

"If you acted like an adult perhaps …"

"Ha ha ha very funny Evie, I'm eight-teen not eighty. And besides I'll leave the adult thing to Gabe. He's adult enough or the both of us," Tony and Bella laughed. Evie smiled. It was true. Her older brother was definitely matured enough for all of them. But it was one of the reasons why their parents had allowed them to move to Forks with Bella and Tony.

"Don't let him hear you!" she joked.

"Too late' said a deep gruff voice.

Tony turned to face Gabe and smiled "Oops…" Gabe laughed "Well someone here has to be …with you lot all still acting like immature gits,' said Gabe, his British accent very much noticeable.

Gabe, Evie and Dom had grown up in England, but when Gabe had ascended to his powers, they had moved back to the States to be closer to Jeanne, Tony and Bella.

"Anyway are you sure you should be messing with Jeanne's work? She'll killyou later," said Gabe.

You better not mess with my work Tony or you'll pay! Said Jeanne telepathically. Everyone laughed…including Jeanne herself.

Bella turned to the living room; already she could see that her cousin Jeanne had been really busy at work.

The room was already becoming warm and homey. Jeanne had a knack for decorating, and they all let her have free feigned over the furnishing.

The furniture was new, and wasn't too modern that it stood out against the old architecture of the building. Bella could see that the dining room was being tackled by Jeanne and she was being assisted by Dominic…or Dom as they all called him.

Bella smiled and turned back to Gabe.

"Is that the last box?" indicating the large box in his had.

He nodded…"By the way Charlie just phoned, he'll be stopping by soon," he told Bella, "and don't usein front of him," the last part was intended for Tony who cringed.

"I know Gabe…I don't intend to give the old man a heart attack!" he sounded annoyed.

Gabe nodded. "I know, but just in case your sense of humour kicks in…"

"Ha ha ha very funny," said Tony sarcastically, rolling his eyes, as the others held in their amusement.

Just then a noise in the driveway alerted them of Charlie's arrival. Charlie walked in and gave each of children an awkward hug.

"Hey Ch- er…dad,' greeted Bella, cringing inwardly over her mistake of almost saying his name. A habit they; both Bella and Tony picked up from their mother.

"So is everyone getting settled? Do you guys like the house? Cause if you don't there's still time to stay at my place, there's loads of space," he said rather hopefully.

Tony scratched his head "Err…thanks dad but its fine,"

"Yea," Bella agreed "Jeanne is doing a great job at getting this place all fixed and it looks great!" Bella indicated to the beautifully furnished living room.

Charlie looked around, and realised that he couldn't really convinced his kids to stay with him instead.

"You'll of course be staying for tea, Uncle Charles?" asked Evie smoothly before Charlie got too emotional.

"Well I don't want to trouble anyone," said Charlie.

Evie smiled "Nonsense, we're having steak tonight with grilled vegetables. No excuses…it's our first dinner here together as a family.

Charlie turned a light shade of pink. Bella inwardly smiled. Charlie had always been putty when it comes to Evie.

She exchanged a secret smile with Evie. Thank youBella told her.

Evie's head moved slightly. It's no problem Bella. He is really happy to have you and Tony back but he just didn't count on us lot coming too…

Yeasaid another voice. It was Jeanne. He's kinda put off that you guys rather stay with us than with him but not THAT displeased with all of us coming here!

Perhaps,Gabe was now joining the conversation , it would be better if both you and Tony moved back with you dad.

NO!Said both Bella and Tony.

It's safer for all of us to stick together. It might please Charlie but it's not wise and really unsafe for us to apart. Thought Evie.

That put an end to the conversation. Bella shot Evie a grateful look. She loved her dad but Bella couldn't really bear the thought of staying with him. It would be really awkward.

The rest of the evening passed uneventfully. After dinner, they resumed unpacking, and Charlie went home after giving Gabe the directions to find their new school.

Only Bella, Evie, Jeanne and Dom were still in high school. Gabe had completed his high school back in England, and Tony had already graduated.

Tomorrow would be their first day at Forks High School…It was March, the middle of semester.

Bella wasn't really looking forward, and she knew that Evie was feeling the same way. Their were going to stick out like sore thumbs like they did in Phoenix. It was their really pale skin that usually made other normal people look sickly that made them stand out, with the same of their dark hairs they all looked like siblings instead of cousins.

The only thing that differed among them was their eye colours. While Bella and Tony's eye colour was brown, Evie, Gabe and Dom had an almost greyish-purplish colour and Jeanne had light blue eyes.

Yes definitely they were going to stick out in the crowd tomorrow.

Bella saw Evie cringed. Tomorrow's going to be awful,though Evie. She sent this massage specifically to Bella. I can hardly wait,replied Bella.

Last but not least... PLEASE REVIEW!
