I must admit I am a little excited, two hours and I get to go to school. Yea laugh it up, whose excited to go to school? Well I am, not to learn anything or about all of the students who are bound to stare and whisper. No, I am excited because my psychic of a cousin keeps telling me I am going to meet someone important. That could only mean my mate right? That is why I'm excited to go to school, not to listen to teachers drone on and on about things I have learned about 60 times. Huh, perhaps I should explain, I, Kate Denali am a vampire, a vegetarian vampire to be exact. Me and my family only feed on animal blood. And I am going to school with my two sisters Tanya and Irina. Along with our cousins the Cullen's, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, my favorite Alice, and my least favorite Edward.

"Let's go let's go people."

"whoa what's got you in such a hurry Kate, its juts school."

"because Emmett, I have a feeling it's going to be a good day."

"Ohhh pranks planned on your first day already, let me in."

"I have no pranks, now move it before were late."

Seriously like 5 minutes of my sisters driving and we were pulling into Forks High School parking lot, and we lived outside of Forks. I was practically bouncing on my feet as I dragged my sisters along with me to get our schedules, the Cullen's following behind. "Slow down Katarina, your starting to act like Alice when she thinks of shopping."

"Hey!" we all walk into the office laughing and startling the old lady behind the desk. "can I help you?"

"yes maam were the Denali's and Cullen's, were here for our schedules."

"yes of course one moment please-here you are dears, have your teachers sign these and bring them back at the end of the day."

"thank you."

"oh Alice we have art together in third."

Nothing spectacular happened in first or second, unless you count this annoying little boy Mike Newton constantly flirting. I did however catch a mouthwatering scent in passing to second, now imagine what a burning fire smells like, it was smoky and hot, mixed in with cinnamon. However I couldn't locate the source, and it didn't make me thirsty, juts smells really good, I couldn't get enough. Now here I am with Alice as we make our way to what's probably going to be my favorite class, Art. As soon as I got to the door I could smell it again, as I hand my paper over to the teacher to sign I was finally able to pinpoint it. A girl in the back of the room, scratch that, a goddess, black hair down to her waist, glasses so dark even my vampire sight couldn't see through to what I'm sure are beautiful eyes. Bangs covered half of her fac and headphones in her ears that were lined with piercings, manicured red nails moving furiously as she sketched in her book. "Ahh you must be two of the new students." My obvious ogling was interrupted "Yes maam, Kate Denali and Alice Cullen."

"Right, well here are your slips and a list of supplies you'll need. My name is Ashley Santiago, Ashley or Ms. Santiago both work. I'm afraid the only desk available is in the back, you'll be sharing with another student." If I wasn't a vampire I might have missed the hesitation in her voice, why doesn't she want us back there? "Robyn raise your hand please. Alright girls take a seat." Robyn, a fitting name, she never looked up and acknowledged us, only grabbed her bag that was on one of the empty chairs and set it on the floor. I was however finally able to view her properly, she wore a tight white tank-top that I could clearly see her black bra through. A leather jacket, dark blue skinny jeans ending at her black biker boots. "alright class, I want you to pick something in this class room, I don't care what it is, as long as you can see it from where you sit. Draw it." me ad Alice had our drawings done within 20 minutes when the teacher spoke up, "you may turn them in whenever you finish, you may talk as you wish until I am done looking at them but do so quietly please others are still working." Just as I was getting the nerve to speak to her Alice beat me to it "Hi I'm Alice and this is my cousin Kate." That was all it took before the whispers started. Oh my god they are talking to her. Wonder if she will answer. Yah right, freak. Dude I'm so going to ask them out. They are so hot. We should warn them about her. Robyn seemed to tense as she looked over to us through her glasses, she tilted her head to the side and I'll be damned if it wasn't so damn cute. Then nodding to us, a hello I'm assuming. I was about to speak up again when the damn bell rang signaling lunch. "Well, we'll see you around" another nod was her answer though it was more hesitant.

LUNCH

"Soooooo?"

"so what Alice?"

"don't you so what Alice me Kate you met your mate." Turning a beaming smile toward her "yes, yes I did, and she is so beautiful and perfect and I know nothing about her."

"whoa what's this talk about a mate?"

"I met her Rose, in Art."

"well don't stop there tell us about her, oh better yet point her out." I turn to look at the students crowding the cafeteria, "I don't see her."

"you know I don't think I saw her leave the class room for Art."

Unfortunately it wasn't until after school in the parking lot before I saw my mate again. "there! There she is." She had her books pulled to her chest and a hood covering her head from the slight mist but I saw her perfectly. At least I did until my vision blurred red as someone ran into her scattering her things to the floor "watch where you're going freak." Before I could even get my legs to move to help her, or strangle the kid, Rosalie was already halfway to her and picking up her things, to all of our surprise.

Rosalie POV

Who the hell did that little bitch think she was to do that to someone, to call someone a name like that. Before my mind could process it I was already helping her pick up her things. She was clearly startled by my appearance by the way she jumped then tensed, but I just handed her things to her "here". I was turning to walk away from the human when I felt two quick taps on my shoulder, turning back I see her holding a note pad with the words thank you on it. "your welcome. See you around." And I made my way back to my family. "that was nice of you Rosie."

"yes it was, thank you for helping my mate Rosalie." Now I'm a cold hearted ice queen of a bitch, but the fury on Kate's face at Edwards words scared the hell out of me.

Robyn POV

School, oh how I despise you so. The constant gossiping, whispering, name calling. Humans, oh what shallow arrogant beings you are considering. Yes I refer to them as human, because I Robyn Persephone Santiago, at least right now, am not human, and I thank whatever God or Goddess that will listen that I don't have that in common with these annoying teenagers of this generation. I am a shadow walker, an assassin, a thief, a Demon, and one of the best. I am also the target for name calling, rumors, and whispers in the hall as I walk by. Simply because I do not speak, as if I have anything to say to these insignificant creatures. Talking usually leads to listening, and I have no intentions of listening to those things little problems about hair and clothes or boys. Though it was nice of that pone girl to help me pick up my things, and yet I still couldn't utter the words, I had to write them down, jeeze. You see there's more then me juts not wanting to talk to, I can't, well I'm sure I can, but I don't, I Cant. Not since, well never mind that. The point is the only two I can talk to is my sister and brother, sometimes. Now where was I? Right the girl, girl that's one way to out it, we both know she isn't just a girl, neither were the two in Art, or the one in Bio. Vampires, I couldn't miss their scent if I wanted to, nor the pale skin, or golden eyes signifying animal drinkers, the no heartbeat was also a dead giveaway, pun not intended. They actually didn't seem to bad, well except for the creepy one in Bio. Don't get me wrong he was attractive they all are, but the whole male part was kind of a turn off, along with his arrogant air around him. He just gave major creep vibes and wouldn't leave me alone.

All that led to where I am right now. In the drizzling rain, walking the semi short distance home from school. Most people would be called crazy for that, hell I am, but I also love the rain, we didn't get much back home, it's one good thing about this little town, that and the forest as a backyard is awesome. I took out one of my headphones as I heard a car roll up behind me, "hey do you need a ride?" I look over to the silver Volvo and Pixie like girl Alice leaning out the window with bed head behind the wheel wearing a smirk that Is supposed to be charming or something. There are two others in the back seat, the blonde bombshell who helped me and a bear of a man with a goofy grin. Behind the Volvo was an amazing black Retro built Boss 302 Mustang, I may have been drooling. And even better, there was a hot blonde behind the wheel, the same one from art. I flicked my eyes back to the Volvo with the impatient vampire and shook my head with a slight smile before they went back to the Mustang, Goddess I would love to see under that hood. Edward as he introduced himself however seemed annoyed by that, "come on I'll drive you home before you get sick." I narrowed my eyes at him, who the hell does this kid think he is, speaking to me as if he has a say in my life. With that I shook my head again quicker before a smirk graced my lips, I sent one more longing glance at the Mustang and I was skipping off down the street, yes skipping, don't judge.

I had my homework and dinner, a homemade pizza, done by the time my sister got home. "smells good, thanks brat. So aside from Art obviously, how were the rest of your classes?"

"mmm not bad" I whisper out. Now I did say I talked to her, but very rarely, I usually sign if I have to but I rarely do, she usually knows what I have to say before I do, if not it comes out very low. Years of not talking will do that. "you think the vampires will be a problem?" I sign out an answer "I think one might"

"ahh Edward Cullen? Yes I ran into him in the hallway, seems the stuck up spoiled little boy type."

"mhm. Goodnight."

"night love, love you."

"you to." with a kiss to the cheek I'm climbing into bed and grabbing my phone to send a quick text to Justin.

KATE POV

Oh man I was pissed, I was furious, how dare that little bitch try to claim my mate. I took little comfort in the fact that she didn't seem interested in him, hell she seemed more interested in my car. We pulled into the driveway and entered the house only to hear him boasting to his parents about meeting his mate. That was all it took before I threw a punch that landed him on his ass, "you ever try to claim my mate again boy and I'll end you where you stand."

"she's not yours she's mine! You can't have a female mate!" I felt the call to her blood and I can't read her mind, she's clearly mine."

"maybe you are mistaken Kate, it seems like she is Edwards mate."

"No Carlisle I am not mistaken, she is my mate and I will be damned if I am going to let your spoiled little boy take her from me. You and I both know you aren't supposed to thirst after your mate." With that I was out and running, hunting to try and calm myself.

I didn't return home until it was time to leave for school, my thoughts occupied by my ebony haired mate. Pulling into the lot I learned the reason for my mates focus on my car, a 1969 black Dodge Charger pulled into the lot shortly after us, and I swear Rosalie was drooling. My mate stepped out of the passenger side with a small smile. Out of the drivers door Ms. Santiago stepped out laughing. What are they doing together? Maybe she gave her a ride like we tried. Why did she not accept ours then? I finally took in the teacher, considering I was preoccupied with my mate yesterday. Dark blonde curls past her shoulders, bright emerald eyes, a little taller than Robyn maybe 5'10" in one inch heels. Pretty smile, she was quite beautiful, and in no way over thoughts running through my mind I never saw Edward walk past me till it was to late and he was already at them. "Hello Robyn, Miss Santiago how are you both this fine morning?" oh I can just picture the charming smile on his face, his voice oozing honey. To my delight it didn't seem to have any effect on them, on her. "hello Mr. Cullen, we are quite well thank you, what can I do for you?"

"I actually came over here to walk Robyn to class, get to know her on the way."

"I gotcha Kate" Emmett whispered in my ear, I dint have time to question him through my red haze as he walked up to join them as well, "hey Edweirdo why don't you head to class before your late, I can walk Miss Robyn here, we have the same first period together. And hello maam, I don't believe we have been introduced, I am Emmett Cullen." Most people look at Emmett and think oh crap this dude is a beast, they panic, but neither of them did, they just looked him over curiously. "Nice to meet you Emmett, I'm Ashley Santiago the Art teacher. I'd really appreciate you walking her to class thank you."

"of course maam." He held out his arm to my mate who stared at it before smirking slightly and taking it and they were off, leaving a fuming Edward. Thank you Emmett.

Class dragged on longer than normal as I waited anxiously for art class, I would have practically ran form the room if it wasn't for Alice keeping a hold on my arm. And juts like the first day Robyn was already in her seat, the only student there actually. Miss Santiago was leaning her hip in the desk in front of Robyn as they talked. What was weird was I couldn't hear her ay all, like mt ears were suddenly blocked for the moment. Robyn had on an amused smirk as Ashley turned to us "ahh hello ladies, how were your first classes?"

"they were slow but good, thank you for asking."

"Alice right? I was very impressed with your drawing, both of yours actually."

"yes maam, and thank you. We have been drawing for years."

"oh I bet, well I have to run and have something copied real quick, I will be back shortly." With that she sent MY mate a wink and walked out the door. I was about to launch myself at her, who the hell does she think she is, MY mate, MINE. Alice must have seen this and held tight to my arm. "hey Robyn, how are you today?" my cousin asked as I got myself under control. My mate wrote down her answer on the paper in front of her, "well thank you." She cant talk? That explains it. "we were wondering if you would like to sit with us at lunch?" I asked her with a beaming smile that only dimmed when she tensed "I do not believe that is a good idea, but thank you for the offer. Perhaps another time." Well at least it wasn't an outright no. once again I didn't see her at all until after school in the lot. And what I saw broke my dead heart. Robyn, my mate was practically running from the side of the school with tears running from behind her sunglasses and down her face. She ran right into one of those dogs from La Pushs arms. "Kit what is it?" I heard and she just shook her head against his chest. When he looked up his face became a murderous rage, so did mine when I saw what he was looking at. A student, the fucker Mike Newton was coming from the same place with a hand holding himself as if he was just kneed between the legs.

Robyn POV

Ugh Biology, with Edward. "hello Robyn, I hope your classes went well." A nod was my only reply as I shot him a glance. Ten minutes into the lecture his throat was clearing to get my attention, "I was actually wondering if you would accompany me on a date this Friday, well tomorrow."

"no thank you." I wrote out. "perhaps another time, how about I walk you to your car after school, I'll meet you." Ignoring him I quickly wrote out a note saying I wasn't feeling well and handed it to the teacher on my way out, they were already use to it. headphones immediately went into my ears as I walked around the back of the school toward the side of the building when the bell rang. This way was usually less populated, at least it was supposed to be until i found myself being shoved against the wall. I instantly knew by the overload of cheap cologne it was Mike Newton pressing himself against me. Now I am around 4,700 years old, I'm ancient of you will. I am one of the worlds most deadly creatures, terrifying and relentless in a fight, and never have I ever lost my target. And yet here I stood with my back against a wall frozen, close to having a panic attack as he rubbed against me. "hey little freak wana have some fun, you may not talk but I bet I could get you to scream." His voice is what broke me from my frozen state, I brought my knee up between his legs before slamming my foot into his shin. Ans he flopped around on the ground clutching himself I practically ran into the parking lot and into Justin's arms. "Kit what is it?" I simply shook my head but it wasn't long before I heard the rumbling coming from his chest as he looked over my head at what I am assuming was Mike. Shaking my head again I push him toward his bike and sign out "please."

15 minutes later we were pulling up to his garage in La Push. It's usually where he stays if he's with me. It's also where I did the work on the Charger. After parking his bike we head down to walk by the water in silence as he shakes in anger trying to get a hold of himself. It was 10 minutes before the shaking stopped. 20 minutes it took of walking down the beach hand in hand toward the cliffs. I know what you're thinking, and no we aren't dating, he's my best friend, my brother. My family had adopted him in, we met around 900 years ago in New Zealand while I was on a run for the Volturi and we just kinda clicked, he was only 10 then. We have traveled together ever since, he's a werewolf. We then met a group of wolf shifters here and joined their pack, in a manner of speaking. He's an Alpha but doesn't want his own pack, he just wanted to be part of one for awhile before we leave Forks.

Once we made it to the cliffs I began dragging him up them, "what's on your mind Kitten?" I simply point to an edge that's 2 from the top. "ahh my little daredevil wishes to jump." I flash him a smile only a few get to see and show off my fangs. Looing up it doesn't look to high, it isn't the highest, looking down is a whole other story. Here we stood in the rain 50 feet above the crashing waves. Good thing I left my phone and stuff in the garage. You could say I am an adrenaline junkie, but I mean is not like it's going to kill me, well unless I drown of course, hmmm. Not the best thoughts to have as I flung myself off the edge hard enough to fly over the sharp edges below. I vaguely hear Justin's shout behind me as he follows. Ice cold water encases me, vision completely renders useless in complete darkness, in complete silence while waves crash upon cliffs with a vengeance above me. The currents whip my body back and forth as my lungs burn for air. Using mediocre strength I kick myself upwards and my head shoots through the surface into cold crisp air. Rain drops pelt my skin like little needles. The sound of rocks shattering against the force of the ocean reaches my ears seconds before it's joined by the deep yet booming laughter of my best friend. Turning a radiant smile to him at the sound I'm met with a wave of water her splashed at me. Oh its on.

15 minutes of our little war wore us out, eventually staying afloat became to much work and we made to swim to the shore about a mile down the cliff. Crawling up the sand we both flopped down onto our backs panting heavily bursting into breathless laughter. Ashley is going to kill me of I get sick. With that parting thought we dragged ourselves back to the garage for dry clothes, baggy sweats and one of his hoodies with my hair up in a soaking pony tail. "h-ey how about we hit the di-diner for food and hot Chocolate? I'm starving." He stuttered out as I nodded my head, then I noticed my chattering teeth and shaking. Man I am fucking freezing.

Once at the dinner Justin being the wolf he was ordered three hamburgers, fries, and hot chocolate, I got the same minus two hamburgers. "here's your drinks dears."

"thank you." My hands were still shaking so badly I didn't want to chance picking it up. Instead I moved it in front of Justin and slid around to his side of the booth. He runs at 145 normally, its lower now but still way warmer then me, and warming up faster then me, an arm slid over my shoulder pulling me into his side. I heard the bell above the door ring but paid it no attention while his warmth seeped into me. At least I didn't until they were standing right in front of our table, "Robyn, hello, fancy meeting you here." Ugh Cullen. I fake a small smile and wave not moving from my position. "Edward what the hell are we doing here" an annoyed voice spoke up as they joined him. "I got hungry and thought we could eat here." Right I'm sure the waitresses look so very appetizing to you. I took in his family members standing behind him as he went to introduce them, "I dint believe you have met all of my family have you.-why would I?- Here are most, you know Alice and Kate-I don't really like the way he said her name-Tanya and Irina are Kates sisters. Then these are Rosalie and Emmett." I give them all a wave and point to Justin who Edward seemed to be ignoring the entire time. "Justin" was all he gave them as he let his face fall blank. "So do you mind if we join you? There are no tables left and I'm starved." You could always leave.

Instead I simply nod at the empty space in front. It was when I finally looked at them all I saw Kate's depressed and defeated expression. "are you alright Robyn your shivering?" one of Kate's sisters asked and her head shot up in my direction looking concerned. "I am fine" I signed out, Justin was going to translate when the blonde bombshell Rosalie answered "are you sure? Your hair is all wet."

"you know sign?"

"yes, I learned a long time ago when volunteering with my father."

"ahh I see."

"she's right Robyn, you shouldn't be out with wet hair, it's bead for your health." Goddess I really want to smack you. "neither is jumping off of a cliff and yet here we are" I sign with a smirk "you jumped off of a cliff!?"

"yes it was quite fun."

"what were you thinking, yu could have been hurt, that's incredibly dangerous."

"doubtful."

"dude relax she's fine, it wasn't the first cliff, it won't be the last, and it sure as hell wasn't the most dangerous thing she has done."

"what kind of friend are you to just let her jump off of a cliff!?" oohhh someone about to get bitch slapped. "let her. I didn't let her do anything, she does what she wants, when she wants. She always has and always will. Who am I to tell her what she can and can't do. Boy I suggest you watch what you say." The next words out of Edwards mouth were to quiet for a human to hear, I'm guessing he was thinking I wouldn't hear. His words also made me want to vomit "as her mate I am going to make sure she never does it again, no more stupid irresponsible stuff." Eeewwww no way, absolutely not. No way in hell am I his mate. Just no. I didn't have time to think on Kate's own possessive growl, I was to busy pushing a shaking Justin out of the diner and into the trees behind it. I knew they were following, I also didn't care at the time. Just as we were out of sight he burst into a giant wolf bigger than the shifters, and pure white. I didn't have time to sign anything as the idiot Dickward shoved me behind him and into a tree knocking the wind out of me as he growled at Justin, "get her out of here before she gets hurt! Stay away from her you animal." I think I may have to kill this fool. "are you alright?" I look up and into the beautiful golden eyes of Kate, face etched in worry and concern as her eyes scan for injuries. I swear I got lost in her eyes for a moment, before I heard Justin's own savage growl before they lunged for each other. I pushed myself between them before they reached the other, I leveled Justin with a glare, he dropped to the ground on his belly head to the floor and tail between his legs. He may be an Alpha but he sees me as his. The rest of them stare in shock with jaws dropped. Pinching the bridge of my nose I let out a deep sigh and kneel before my wolf to make sure he was ok. He grants my hand a quick lick I made a face at and wiped it down my jeans. "you don't look shocked that he just turned into a giant dog."

"because I am not."

"you know about us?"

"I do, but not from the wolves, so no treaty has been broken."

"if you know about the treaty then it has been broken."

"no, your treaty is with the Quileute's, the person I learned it from was not one, hencxe not broken."

"wait, so you know what we are and you aren't taking off running?"

"why would I your eyes are gold?"

"I like you."

"don't take this the wrong way cause I actually like you to, but what the fuck?"

"thanks beautiful you're not so bad either." I reply sending Rosalie a wink. "hey this is my woman, get your own." Emmett said throwing a huge arm over her shoulder, sighing dramatically "damn, what bout you pixie? I prefer blondes but I can make an exception." I smirk at her, "blondes huh? You know all three of my cousins are blonde, wouldn't you prefer one of them?" hmmm I had to keep my smile in control at the hopeful look on Kate's face, oh my god she likes me. Or she's hoping I don't tease her. Let's find out. I look toward the curly light blonde one "Irina is it? Beautiful name."

"sorry hun I prefer dudes."

"you say that now, but have you ever had a woman? Baby I could do things no man could dream of." Kate finally couldn't keep it in any longer, "what am I not pretty enough for you?" she practically growled out, looking her over as if I am really considering, her tight blue jeans over long legs, tight white sweater covering what could only be perfect breasts, long silky blonde hair straight down her back that I wouldn't mind running my hand through. And her lips, oh hot damn them lips. They looked so soft I couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to press mine to them. I could definitely see myself-see myself what? I couldn't tell her what I am, who I am. It's to dangerous, for us both. And vampires have mates, I would juts be waiting to get dumped for hers. Pushing it to the back of my mind, it doesn't matter, "no I was simply saving the best for last gorgeous." The smile on her face was breathtaking. "now if you will excuse me we must be off, before I get into anymore trouble."

"wait you haven't told us what's going on."

"no I haven't." with that I hopped onto my wolf's back and he took off through the trees.
