What happens when Bella is the vampire and Edward the human? She is part of the Cullen family and he is the outsider. Will their story be the same, or will this role reversal have a big impact.

It is a normal day. Well as normal as it could be considering the fact that I, Bella Cullen and the rest of my family, or coven if you prefer, are vampires. When most humans are reluctantly leaving the cosy havens of their beds in order to get ready for school or work, I am trying to block out the noise of my two brothers, Emmett and Jasper wrestling each other in our living room. Suddenly I hear an almighty crash and the entire room shakes momentarily. I hear Esme, my mother, scolding the pair for destroying yet another wall of the house with their antics. I also hear the giggles of my sisters Alice and Rosalie and they hear their adult husbands being told off.

Rose and I have the strongest relationship of everyone in our family, even the married couples. This is because the circumstances under which we became vampires are very similar and happened at roughly the same time. She was raped and left for dead by her wonderful fiancé Royce King. She was rescued by Carlisle, the leader and father figure of our family. She would have died had he not bitten her and changed her into a vampire. A single day after Royce and his friends attacked her, he attacked me too. Miraculously, I was also rescued by Carlisle and three agonizingly painful days later I was a vampire. When I realized what I had become I was repulsed by myself, but Carlisle told me that I didn't have to be- that I could feed on animals. The only time I have ever killed a human was when I helped Rosalie 'dispose' of Royce and his friends. We agreed that they were low-lives and did not deserve to live to attack other people like they had us.

Rose and I were the first to be changed by Carlisle, it had taken him decades to gain the self-control required to change a human without killing them. Esme came along shortly after us. We discovered her at the bottom of a cliff; it was obvious that she had tried to kill herself. She later told us that her baby son had died and she had no reason to live anymore. She became Carlisle's mate and life partner, if you can call what we have a life. Rosalie saved Emmett by carrying him hundreds of miles back to Carlisle, fearing that she did not have the control to change him herself. Alice and Jasper joined us together, they had been changed before. Unfortunately, Alice does not remember her human life or how she was changed. However, she does possess a special ability, one that no one else has, even vampires. She can see the future, but it is based on decisions made by people, and therefore changes regularly. Jasper also has a special power, he is an empath: he can feel and manipulate the emotions of those around him. I also have the power of a shield; I can block any vampire's power, and can also project this shield around anyone that I choose.

These are the only truly amazing powers that any of us possess, but you could say that Carlisle's control is pretty spectacular (he is a doctor), Esme's compassion and ability to love no matter what, and Emmett's super- strength are all astounding as well. Of course we all have the general vampire characteristics: super speed; massive strength; very good hearing; inhuman beauty; ice cold skin and so on.

When Esme had finished shouting at Emmet and Jasper for the destruction of the wall, the spoke at a normal volume, knowing that we could hear her upstairs, that we would be late for school. This of course set us off laughing again, because we enjoy driving at enormous speeds and can make it to school in around 10 minutes while it would take anyone else at least 45. We all walked out to the car we would go in; my red truck. Although we can afford other, more expensive cars, (this is evident in our garage), we like to fit in as much as possible, and this means not driving Mercedes or Porches to school. To avoid being too slow though, Rosalie has messed around with the engine of my truck to increase the speed. It now has a maximum of 200mph rather than 55mph.

We made it to school in just under 9 minutes, parked in a spot in the car park and made our way to our respective homerooms. As I sat down at my desk I heard the people around me excitedly discussing the arrival of a new student, an Edward Masen apparently. I have no idea why it should be so interesting, although in a school this small someone getting an unexpected detention is hot gossip. I tried to block out the mindless chatter around me, which is difficult when you have super hearing. For the rest of the morning, nothing interesting happened, just more gossip about the new boy.

This was about to change though. I met my family in the cafeteria for lunch and a usual we each filled up a tray of food that would be wasted, but kept up out human appearances. We sat down at the table, as far away from the humans as possible and began talking. Then the new kid walked in. The entire room exploded into chatter and the poor boy began blushing and kept his head down, clearly not enjoying the attention. He sat down at a table with Mike Newton, Jessica Stanley and all their friends. I heard them questioning him on his move here and answering any questions that he had about the school. It was all very boring and I began to zone out. Then my name is mentioned, and I look for the source. It appears that he had enquired about our family, and to be honest I can't blame him, we must look really abnormal. Then the strangest thing happened, I looked at him, and instantly felt winded. e HHe He was gorgeous. All of his features were perfectly straight, and he had a mop of shiny, bronze hair and was in careful disarray, that looked like he had spent hours doing it, but in reality he probably did nothing to it. He was staring at me with the most beautiful eyes I have seen in my entire existence, they were a bright, emerald green, framed by perfect black lashes. I was mesmerized until Jasper gently cleared his throat and told me that it was time to go to class.

I walked to my biology class and sat down at my usual empty table. I hadn't had a lab partner, ever, as no one ever wanted to go with me. I get my books out of my bag when I hear a beautiful, musical voice. I look up and it is the new boy talking to the teacher and to my delight is directed to the seat next to me. He slowly makes his way up the aisle and takes a seat. Then he turns to look at me and I take a breath, ready to talk to him and suddenly my throat begins burning, and I have the urge to drink the blood of this boy, right here in this classroom.
