The Protectors
Chapter One:
Another day in Forks, W.A. The weather is, as usual, cold and damp. The people are the same...well except for the new girl, Isabella Swan. The chief of police's daughter, the long lost daughter of the chief, everybody is talking about her, which is rather annoying for when I'd rather be talking about something else. You see, I've been alive for centuries, don't ask me how many for I do not know. Which is again annoying for when it comes to birthdays, I don't even know my own!
It's lunch time and Angela Webber (who is an absolute darling) is talking about the latest Biology assignment, for when she was rudely interrupted by Jessica Stanley.
"Hey!" she said happily. "This is Isabella Swan!" she said as she sat down next to me, and the Swan girl the other side of me, I was hit with the smell of freesias and strawberries. She had shoulder length mahogany coloured hair and terribly translucent pale skin, I was about to look away for when she suddenly looked up at me. Her big chocolate brown eyes stared up at me, they were beautiful. I looked away quickly, fearful of the reminder they brought within my mind. I swore to myself that I would not look again, the too many painful memories they brought within me.
"This is Isabella Swan, she's just moved here," said Jess. "This is Angela and this is Ramona Samson but please call her Mona as she hates to be called her full name."
"I'm Mike by the way," he said smiling at the new girl. I instantly recognised the smile, it was one of fancy. He liked her, I knew he didn't have a chance with her. I had a feeling she had more balls than her small figure gave out to have. "Do you like it here?"
"Yes I suppose, it's all right," said Swan, her voice soft. She was shy by the sounds of it. "The weather's a bit boring though."
I internally laughed at this, the weather is always like this.
Mike piped up. "I know, it's always the same and I hate it."
Silence fell as Mike and Jess chatted loudly, disturbing my thoughts. My thoughts were further interrupted by Swan.
"Who are they?" she asked, by "they" I immediately knew who she meant.
"Oh they're the Cullen's," I said. "The short black haired one is Alice, the big burly one is Emmett and the bronze haired one is Edward. They're the Cullen's and the two blondes are the Hales, Rosalie and Jasper. The Hales are supposed to be adopted by Mrs Cullen...or something like that," I said, I knew full well who they are or what. But of course she's human, she's not supposed to know.
"Oh, they're all so beautiful," she said. I knew Jess would hear that.
"Oh yes they are! But they all live together!" she said, scrunching up her nose is disgust.
"So? Your parents live together don't they?" I asked, smirking.
She blushed. "But that's different!"
"No, if they're happy then who cares?!" I said frowning.
"Whatever, but yeah don't waste your time with Edward, he doesn't date." I remember the countless times she's asked him out! All ended with a no, which I knew was going to happen anyway. But even though I told her it was going to be a no, she never listened.
"He said no countless times," I said, whispering into Swan's ear. She shivered, I pulled away unsure of what to do. Her cheeks burnt up, a lovely deep red, that stood out against her translucent pale skin. We sat in awkward silence, I forgot that I had a certain effect on humans, we had this gift so that we could gain their trust. We were designed to protect the human race but unfortunately there are some of us who wish to enslave the humans as they are 'weak' but I disagree, I have seen so many humans over come such pain and heartbreak. Humans are not weak, but are so much stronger than us. Even if we posses inhuman strength, inhuman speed and greater intelligence. They are wonderful, despite those who let them down. Suddenly the bell rung, I sighed as I stood up, I didn't want to carry on with this mundane existence anymore, the repetitions were becoming the very bane of my life.
"What do you have now Bella?" asked Jess.
"Ummm...," said Swan as she rummaged through her pockets to find her schedule. "Biology II."
"Angela has that and so does Mona, they'll walk you there!"
I internally cringed, after that small but unnoticeable awkward moment between us I thought it was best to keep my distance but I can't refuse to help a human, it is my duty. I waited for Angela and Bella to join me, I let them go first. It was a force of habit, it's best if I was to be behind so that I could quickly throw them to one side if we were attacked. The walk was silent, mainly because Angela is rather shy and I didn't want to really talk. We got there on time, I noticed that poor Bella was going to have to sit next to Edward as he had the only free seat. I sat down in my usual spot, Mr Banner signed Bella's paper as he gawked at her. Poor girl, having to be the police chiefs daughter must be hard. She sat hesitated before sitting down next to Edward, immediately I noticed his rigid stance. I felt my entire body change, ready to fight him if he got out of control. But what is wrong with him? What was making him like this? It confused me, I will have to do some research into this. But before I could plan anything everything went black.
