Wake Me Up Inside
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I still live by that rule today. Sometimes, when I need to, I bend the laws of equivalent exchange. But what people don't know is that you're always going to get the same fate one day. Someone is out there watching my every single move and I intend to find out who and why. Hello my name is Bella Aviva Potter, and this is my story of how I was awoken from my nightmare into life.
"Hurry up mom I'm going to be late." I said as I checked the time on my lap top. It was 7:50 and I would have to be at school by 7:55 in order not to be late. My mom woke me and my brothers up early this morning but she had this big meeting and had to take time doing her hair and makeup. It didn't bother me much, it's just that I wanted to be on time to school and not have to deal with a detention. "Ok, Ok I'm done, let me just get the car keys. You guys have your snack and things packed up right?"She said as she came out of the bathroom looking like a million dollars. She had that effect on people, that's one of the things I loved about her. Well one of them. But anyway, she grabbed her car keys and rushed us all into the car. It was a silent drive until we met our landing. She wished us a good day at school and left to her meeting. I ran to my class and as I entered the classroom I heard my name being called from the attendance sheet. "Bella Aviva Potter" said the English teacher's voice. "That was a close one Potter, I'll let it slide for now." The English teacher said. "Yes Sir." I answered. I knew that if I was late again it would be detention and the principal's office. I took my seat at the back of the class as usual. I slowly took out my sketchbook and started on a sketch I tried drawing yesterday. When I was finally done, I looked over my work of art. A boy of 17 was clearly shown in the drawing. He had long blonde hair that was braded. Big golden eyes and an automail arm and leg. I gazed fondly at the sketch and only cut off my made my way to my next class. My mind was lingering on the drawing in my sketch book.
The rest of the day was pretty boring. As the bell rang signaling the end of school went off, I got up and made my way to my locker. I got to my locker and started doing the combination when someone tapped me on the arm. "Hey what's up" I knew that voice. That was the voice of the most annoying person in the world. The voice of the guy who has all the girls falling for, but insists to try to get me to go out with him. The voice I hate oh so much. The voice of Johnny Goulperman. "The usual answer is NO goulperman." I said obviously annoyed. I mean the guy has been trying for months. Why doesn't he just give it a rest? And as usual he wasn't done with me. Not Yet. "Why do you have to be so cold Bella, and you haven't heard my question yet."He was going to plead with me. I could tell by his voice. This would not turn out pretty. "Look I know what you are going to say. You're going to ask me out I'm going to say no for the hundredth time, you're not going to let it go, and then I punch you. So basically I'm trying to do you a favor and save you a broken nose now moves out of my way or I'll make you." I said in one breath. I was angry now. I could tell he was to and it didn't look like he was going to move and let me pass in peace so I kept my word. A moment later there was a small crack and Johnny with a broken nose kneeling on the ground in pain. "I warned you" I said. By then everyone was watching and were impressed with me but that wouldn't stop the nasty roomers I would be getting tomorrow. "By now" I said sweetly as I walked away. This is a pretty ordinary thing for me. Don't get me wrong I don't punch every guy that asks me out. Just the really annoying, stalking, just want to get in your pants ones. I got out of there fast and made a run for home. When I was far enough from the school I slowed down into a walk. Did I mention I have super speed well along with other powers but that's just because I'm…I'm a vampire. That's right. I said vampire. You think I've gone nuts right. Well, bad news for you, I'm 100 percent serious. As a vampire I have super speed, hearing, strength, I'm prettier than your average girl, and I have additional powers that you will find out about later. You probably have a million questions on your mind. Well already know what you're going to ask so here it comes. Hollywood's version of vampires is wrong. We can come out in the morning but not into the sun because we sparkle like crazy and that blows our cover. Not all Vampires are bad. I have to admit most of us are but not all of us. I'm still a good person….vampire I mean. Whatever, I'm glad that's clear. Anyway I made it home in piece but what I saw….wasn't what I expected.
My mother was on the floor in a puddle of….blood. I ran to my mother's side. "Mom! Mommy! Please wake up! Mommy talk to me!" I moved her so she would face me. What I found made me wish I hadn't. My mother had a scared expression on her face. I bent down closely letting the tears that were forming in my eyes stream down my face freely. That's one of my additional powers I can cry but I cry venom so I wear eye liner a lot to cover up for my tears. I cried into my mother's chest realizing the missing beat of her heart. She was gone. My mother was gone. You're probably wondering how the hell I have a mother anyway. I was adopted. Like I said, I'm a vampire but not a bad one. I feast on animals. My mother knew. That's why I loved her so much. She took care of me even though I was a danger to her life. Even though I was a monster. I knew I couldn't stay long and that I needed to pack and go. Why? It's a long story but I'll tell you another time. I called the police as a witness and not my mother's daughter. I packed my things and waited in the back alley of our house. I was waiting for the sign of police cars coming to my mother aid. Even though they were too late. When I got the signal, I made a run for it. I would have gone tracing the house looking for my mother's killer but I already knew who it is.
That night, I ran all the way to Washington. I stopped at a town named Forks. I was wet because of it was raining and my clothes torn from hiking up in the mountains. I decide to walk along the highway since it was well past 2:00 am. That's when I caught a weird sent. It smelt familiar. It smelt kind of like me but different in other ways. I followed the sent for 3 hours until I found myself deep in the forest. But there was a trail path for hikers. But the familiar scent kept me going to a lonely path not far from the trail. That's when I saw the Cullen house. And in front of it 7 attractive vampires like me looking angry right in my direction.
