Just so you know...

--- = Later on...

*** = Change in character POV. (Point of View)

But, be warned, there are some antsy plot twists weaved into this story.

Thank you to all who review! I very much appriciate it, and I'll take any criticism I can get.

I'll add new chapters as soon as I write them. =]

And If you haven't reviewed, please do. I'll update again when I get 15 reviews!

So last Friday, I had 128 visitors, the most I've had yet! That was the day I added the 3rd chapter, and I only have 7 reviews! Problem? I think so. =]

Disclamier: I don't own Twilight. Sadly. That honor belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

The only characters I own are Hannah and her mom, Linda.

She looked out the window and sighed. This was Hannah's third time moving in a year. This time, it was across the country, to a town called Forks, Washington. Her mom had described the town to her in many different ways. Her favorite excuses being, "It's a quaint little town," and "Oh, it'll be a fresh start to a new life." Didn't they move six months earlier to "make a fresh start"? She sighed again, and her mom inclined her head towards her only daughter in a questioning manner. Then, lo and behold, it started to drizzle.

"Mom?"

"Mmm?"

"Did you say Forks had the highest percentage of rain in all of the United States?"

"Yes."

"And you thought this would be a great transition from Florida?"

Her mother rolled her eyes and focused back on the road.

They slowly pulled up to her new house. She stepped out, stunned into silence. She stared until her mom looked at her worriedly. She didn't know that her house was this huge. Hannah had never been here before, so she only saw the house in pictures. She looked around, expecting to see moving vans, and saw not a car in site. She then realized it was raining, and hard at that. Hannah hurried up to the house through the rain.

She stepped over the threshold. Everything in the house was set up, ready to be used. Hannah rolled her eyes, knowing what had happened. I shouldn't be surprised, she thought. It's not like my mom hasn't gotten things done for her before. She relies on her looks for everything. The movers must have been guys. She looked around the room and relaxed. It seemed normal enough. Now, if only a normal family lived in it.

"Where is my room?" she asked.

"Upstairs, second door to the right."

Hannah clomped up the stairs and entered her new room. It needed major work, she thought. She picked up a few things and moved them until she was slightly more satisfied. She looked at her watch and realized that it was almost 10:00. Her bed already had sheets and a blanket on it. Weird.

"I'm going to bed, Linda!"

"You have everything you need?"

"Yes!"

"Don't for get you have school tomorrow!"

Linda, as she called her mom, always believed in "getting a head start." She was always using these phrases that were supposed to get Hannah excited. They never worked.

Hannah went into her bathroom. She opened a box and finally found a towel. She hurriedly took a shower and brushed her teeth. Hannah walked into her room, threw on the first pajamas she saw, and jumped in her new bed. She laid there for awhile, thinking of how her new school would be. Her last school was full of stuck up snobs and rich girls. But, of course, that was an all girl's school. This school was probably small and hick-like. She had never lived in the west before, and she never really wanted to. She was thinking about how she was going to get to school tomorrow when she drifted into sleep.

Hannah woke up with a startling thought. What if it happens again? Well, that's what the dream was about. It had happened again, only, in the dream, of course. She tried to shake it from her head. Of course, there were none of them here. Only normal humans, she told herself. The frightening experience at her last home was over. Nothing like that would happen again. She would make sure of it.

Hannah decided to finally get up and get dressed. She messed with her hair until it fell into the exact place she liked and sighed. She looked normal enough. She shuffled downstairs and passed her mom on her way out. She went down the porch stairs and started for the car. Hannah got her keys and slid into her seat. Sitting there, she thought of how the day would play out. Would it be boring? Exciting? Scary? Only one way to find out, she said to herself. She slid the keys into the ignition of her silver Volvo.

When she got to school, the parking lot was filled with beat-up old cars and trucks. She looked around for any kind of car that might be worth anything, and noticed an exact replica of her car. She drove around and parked next to it, and laughed to herself when the owner would see hers and be confused. She stepped out of her car and touched her sneakers to the wet pavement. Only then did she notice that the Volvo next to hers was occupied by two people. She couldn't really make them out, but she could tell one was a boy and one was a girl.

She stood there for a moment, thinking of what they could be doing. She waited a moment, and decided it was none of her business. But, just then, both of the doors opened and out popped a girl. She looked pretty plain, compared to the guy- no, man that stood next to her. Hannah looked at him and her eyes rolled over his body hungrily. He was the most gorgeous creature she had ever seen before, and he most definitely was going to be hers.

"Edward?"

Bella looked over at Edward, concerned, when he opened the door. His face was hard and unmoving, which was normal for him. But this time, it seemed to be involuntary. She hurried to his side and touched his face.

"Edward?"

"Bella, we need to go. Now."

Bella just stood there for a second, and only then did she notice the girl across from them. She never really seemed to notice anything when Edward was around. She stared at the girl for a moment then back to Edward. He grabbed her hand and they walked a few feet away. Bella seemed very confused, and she supposed Edward could sense it. He looked at her apologetically and tried to smile, but turned into a grimace. It kind of reminded her of what he looked like when they had first met in Biology, a year before.

She finally looked around at the girl and noticed how plain and simple she looked. Then Bella realized that this was the way she looked when she first came to Forks. She felt sorry for the girl, and decided to speak to her.

Stepping forward, she said, "Hello. My name is Bella, and this is Edward."

***

Looking at the two people, supposedly named Bella and Edward, Hannah realized how ordinary she was, compared to him. She had no idea how these two were related, if they were brother and sister, or a couple. She guessed brother and sister, though one must be adopted. She took another look at Edward, and noticed his face was very tense. She looked down the rest of his body, observing his pale skin. He had awfully pale skin. She looked at his face again, because she couldn't help looking at the beauty. His eyes were a beautiful topaz color. She seemed to want to melt in them, but instead, she grabbed the girls hand and introduced herself.

"My name's Hannah. I'm new here."

She watched Bella and Edward exchange glances, and wondered what they were thinking. Just then, Edward grabbed Bella's hand. He had a grave look on his face, and she wondered if he was in trouble.

"Bella. We really need to leave."

Bella looked at Edward's face and saw that he really meant it. She winced in pain, and looked down at his grip on hers. "Edward." He looked down at her arm and immediately let go. "Sorry," he muttered. He quickly walked away, and Bella faced towards her, looking apologetic.

"Sorry about that. Uh, I think I should go see if he's fine." She looked toward Edward and back to Hannah. "I'll see you around?"

"Of course. Bye."

***

Bella ran after Edward, even thought he walked, and caught up with him and looked into his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Bella inquired.

Edward's face was rigid, and she could see shame in his eyes.

"Her blood."

Bella looked utterly confused and wrinkled her nose. "Her blood? What about it?"

He looked at her, and dropped his eyes immediately. "I….I don't know if I should tell you. I'm afraid of upsetting you."

Bella looked at him with curiosity. "Just tell me. And spare my feelings."

He looked at her, and regrettably, whispered, "Her blood smelled as intoxicating as yours. It wasn't the same scent, but it still allured me."

Edward could notice the hurt in Bella's eyes, and he felt horrible. He cupped her heart-shaped face in his hands and looked at her earnestly. "Bella. No matter what, you know I will always love you, and always you. You are my life and joy, and I live every moment of it, just in hopes of seeing your face. Please do not be sad, for it hurts me. I love you with all my heart, metaphorically, and no love greater than ours has ever been imagined. Not even if their blood sang to me sweetly, yours will always be the perfect pitch, la tua cantante."

She looked at him, pain still in her eyes. "I know you love me, for some unfathomable reason, and I love you, of course. But what are we going to do?"

"I don't know. I'll have to speak to Carlisle about it. But for now, let's go to class." He kissed her lightly on her lips and ran his icy fingertips along her jaw line.

Hannah had been watching the two. They seemed to be talking about something serious. She didn't want to intrude, but she couldn't help but watch. She stared as other girls walked on by, without a second glance, for some reason. She was fairly surprised as to why the girls had no interest in him, for his insane beauty was driving her crazy. She watched them kiss lightly, and he touched her jaw tenderly.

Now she understood. She was wrong. The two were a couple. She felt a jealous pang, and felt like she wanted to kill Bella. She was surprised at herself. She barely even knew Edward, but she felt like she would die without him. She stared at the two longingly again, and gritted her teeth. Hannah then vowed to herself, that no matter what, Edward would be hers.
