Chapter 1

Can't die, and never age. Stereotypes usually associated with vampires. The key word being usually, because I am still very much human. I've been this way for over 300 years, and I'm betting I will stay this way forever or at least until someone finds a way to actually kill me.

I have been staked and shot through the heart many times. I've even been burned at the stake once or twice. About a century ago I found out the hard way that vampires do exist and that their venom has no affect on me at all.

It happened during the civil war, I was confronted by a girl named Maria and her two flunkies. I guess she thought I would by useful because she tried to change me. Obviously as said before it didn't work, I remained completely human. Naturally the fact that the venom had no effect on me interested her greatly. She decided she wanted to commission me into her army. I had nothing better to do at the time, so I joined her.

Because of my inability to be affected by vampire venom she put me in charge of the newborns along with her second in command, Jasper Whitlock.

We got along pretty well considering the fact that he was a vampire and I was his food of choice. We became extremely close over the years. I started thinking of him as the brother I had lost al those years ago. After the war was over we went our separate ways. I haven't seen him, or any other vampires for that matter, for many years.

So hear I am now, in Forks, Washington, enrolling myself in the high school as a junior. It's not like I really need it, but it helps me to fit in. I don't use my maiden name, it reminds me too much of my family, instead I use Jasper's. All my papers have the name Christine Elizabeth Whitlock.

The woman at the front desk gave me my schedule and a map and I headed out to my class. Because I had shown up late I missed my first few classes. I checked my schedule and found that I had to go to Biology.

As I walk into the room everyone's eyes are trained on me, but I was caught in a staring match with the pale, copper haired boy that was sitting with a brunette girl with pasty skin. "Great, another vampire." His eyes nearly popped out of his head when I thought that. "Oh, so you're a mind reader. Good to know." With that thought I put up a barrier around my mind so that he couldn't read it. Oh, did I mention that I'm able to block almost any vampire's ability? Well I am, I guess it has something to do with me not being affected by their venom. I'm not really sure.

After I put up my barrier I heard the teacher introduce me to everyone. "Class this is our new student, Christine Whitlock." To me he said "All the lab partners are taken, but I don't think Edward and Bella would mind you joining them." It looked to me that he was way off base. Edward, who I realized was the vampire, looked worried, but curios. Bella on the other hand was throwing daggers at me with her eyes. Don't ask me why, because I have no idea.

I got my book from the teacher and pulled up a stool on Edward's side of the table, hoping to avoid Bella's gaze. I tried to at least look like I was paying attention, but I could feel their eyes boring into me. Taking my barrier down I asked Edward, "What do you want?" He tore a sheet of paper out of his notebook, wrote something down and passed it to me. I read the note and told him I would explain later, then I put my barrier back up. He seemed pacified by my answer and stopped staring at me. Too bad I couldn't say the same for that Bella chick.

As soon as the bell rang I bolted out of the classroom, eager to get away from Bella. But alas, it was not meant to be for she was in my next class. I tried my best to ignore her and not punch her lights out. Lucky for her I have self control. Which is unlucky for my punching bag, because I'm going to have to take my frustration out on it.

I wasn't really paying attention to what was going on around me when I walked in the cafeteria. That's why I was taken by surprise when I heard someone yell "CHRIS!" and suddenly felt two cold arms wrap around me. It took me a few seconds, but I finally realized who it was. "Jasper!" I screamed hugging him back. We finally let go of each other after what felt like forever. "God Jasper, you haven't aged at all." Laughing he said "Well you haven't either, still as beautiful as ever Chris." I hit him on the arm being careful not to hurt myself. "Flattery will get you nowhere with me Jaz, you should know that by now." "Ha ha, can't blame a guy for trying can you?"

We kept talking as he led me over to his table. When we got there I looked around the table and was surprised by the number of vampires. I didn't think that many would be willing to live among humans, let alone actually be able to do it. Jasper began to introduce everyone, but when he got to Edward I cut him off. "I've already met Edward and Bella, we have Biology together." I told him. I looked over at them and saw Bella glaring at me, again. "What the hell is that bitches problem." I thought. I didn't realize my barrier was down until I heard Edward growl "Shut up!" "Ooh, I'm so scared." I said sarcastically in my mind. "The scary vampire's going to hurt me because I insulted his singer. Ha! I'd like to see you try." O.K. I'm normally not like this but Bella has been getting on my nerves all day.

I could feel Jasper sending out waves of calm. Probably trying to stop Edward from killing me, or trying to kill me any way. "Come on Chris, stop provoking him." Said Jaz. "I will" I said "When she stops being a bitch." Said bitch made some kind of screeching sound and stood up like she was going to attack me. I took a step towards her accepting her worthless challenge. Before either of us could really do anything Jasper grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the cafeteria.

"What's wrong with you?" Jasper asked once we were away from everybody. "There's nothing wrong with me, it's that bitch Bella!" I shouted. "She's been glaring at me all day for no reason, and I'm getting tired of it!" "That doesn't sound like Bella." He said. "I don't care if it doesn't sound like her, I'm going to knock her down a few notches and put her in her place." "Please don't Chris, she's just a human, and last time you decided to put someone in their place you destroyed ten of our best newborns." "Hey, that wasn't my fault. If they weren't smart enough to follow orders they had no reason to exist!" Alright I admit I was kind of evil during my military days, but only if someone pissed me off.
