Just to tell you it is the year of 2009, in the story.
Chapter 1
I sighed. Another new school. My official name is Isabella Marie Swan, but I go by Bella Marie Mason now, and I am half-vampire. My story is not a happy one.
At the age of 17, I was at home, in London, England. I lived with my mother, Renee, and my step-father Phil. I was doing the chores with my mother. This was the type of thing women did all day back then, considering we are in the year of 1677. I never knew my real father. My mother said he had gone missing a month after I was born, and they never found him. When I was 6, my mother married Phil, needing someone to watch our farm. Phil was sweet, but he was not my father. One day, I was out in the fields. I was singing quietly to myself as I walked. I was not paying attention to where I was going, and ended up falling because of my clumsiness. I got up slowly and looked at my stinging hands. I had tried to prevent myself from falling by putting my hands out but instead I scraped my hands. I just kept walking, I was used to being injured, I always had to fall, or do something. A rustle of leaves in the bushes pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked over and for a moment I thought I saw red eyes staring at me, but I shrugged it off. Then before I knew what was happening I was pushed to the ground, with someone on top of me. He had blonde hair, pale and cold skin, and blood red eyes. He was staring at my hands. "Who are you?" I said quietly. "James." He replied then he bit into my skin. James did not give enough venom to turn me into a full vampire, so I was turned into a half vampire.
When I woke from my three days of torture, James was waiting he told me everything about the vampire world. We sparkle in the sun, we run extra fast, we have good hearing. We do not eat human food, we drink blood. And some vampires have special abilities. Then he just left, I have always hated him. I left my mom and Phil, and went out on my own.
And here I am today, a half-veggie-vamp. Meaning I do not drink humans, only animals, it makes me feel less like a monster. I can do everything a whole vampire can, but I can get injured and I am not as strong as they are, but I am still stronger than humans. I also sleep, but I don't need sleep every night, only at least one night a week. I do have some abilities. I still look human even though I am half-human, I can still eat human food, it will taste fine, but I would have to throw it back up later. My heart beat goes at a human's pace, and I hide my vampire scent to keep up my appearance. I can tell what the weather is going to be for the next day, which comes in handy. I have an exceptional memory, even for a vampire. I can remember everything from my human life. I can not manipulate emotions, but I can feel one emotion and it is pain. If someone is in pain I can feel it, and make the pain go away. So basically, I can heal injuries. And my last ability has to do with my eyes. My eyes change color with my emotions. For example, if I am angry they are black, embarrassed is pink, and blue is sad, purple is happy, and red is loved or in love. That is the only thing that would look odd about me, if you thought I was human. Which is why, every school I went too and anywhere else I wore sunglasses. I could also tell what other vampires powers were, and other powers having to do with the mind could not work on me.
Today, I was going to be the new kid again. I just recently moved from Anchorage, Alaska, to Forks, Washington. I was dreading going to Forks High School. I placed my self as a junior. I had gone hunting last night, so I was ready for today. I went back to my 2 bedroom, 1 full bathroom apartment. It was kind of small, but it was perfect, for me. I went into my bedroom, and grabbed a pair of jeans, and a peace t-shirt. Both made from quality brands. Then I grabbed my new book bag, put on my dark sunglasses and ran out the door. My apartment was not that far away from the school, but far enough away were it is almost outside of town. Today it is raining so I could walk, but after school I am going to have to buy a car. I listened to my ipod while I walked, and soon I made it to the school parking lot. I found the main office right away and went inside. There was a lady sitting at her desk, she smelled of coffee, and lavender. Her name tag read, Mrs. Cope. "Hello." I said to get her attention. She looked up and smiled. "Hello, dear. And who might you be?" She asked kindly. I flashed her a smile. "Bella Mason. I'm new here." I said. Mrs. Cope nodded, and then typed some stuff in on her computer. After 4 minutes and 30 seconds she gave me my schedule.
Period 1: English, Mr. Mason
Period 2: Government, Mr. Jefferson
Period 3: Trigonometry, Mr. Varner
Period 4: Spanish, Mrs. Suntay
Period 5: Lunch
Period 6: Biology 2, Mr. Banner
Period 7: Gym, Coach Clapp
(I just picked a name for the Spanish teacher, because they don't give her a name) Oh my gosh! My English teacher has my name. Well, whatever. I gave a quick thank you, and went outside. It was raining harder now. I walked at human pace to my English class. I was the first to arrive for which I was thankful. I went up to see Mr. Mason. "Hello." I said. He looked up, from what it looked like grading someone's test. "Hi. Are you a new student?" He asked. I nodded. "I'm Bella Mason." I said. Mr. Mason smiled. "I am Mr. Mason. How are you liking Forks?" He asked, after laughing. "It is good so far." I said. "Good. Bella, class is going to start in a moment. You can take the last seat in the back." I nodded, and went to my seat. He gave me a reading list and went back to his grading. I looked it over. I had already read everything. I sighed. This was going to be a boring year.
Students started to file into the classroom and I just doodled on a piece of paper. I heard the chair move next to me, but I did not look up. "Hi!" Someone said excitedly. I looked up and saw a very hyper girl with spiky black hair, and pale skin sitting next to me. She was a vampire, I could smell it. "Hi." I said, shyly. "I'm Alice. Alice Cullen. You're the new student, right?" She was way too hyper. "Yeah. I am Bella, Bella Mason." I said. Alice face slid into a frown. Before she said anything I said, "No, I am not related to Mr. Mason. If you could spread that around that would be great." Her smile came back. "Sure. So where did you move from?" She asked. I decided I am going to make up a fake story. "Phoenix, Arizona." I said. "Why did you move?" She asked. "My father got a new job." I said. It hurt to say the word 'father.' "Is this class easy?" I asked her, changing the subject. She nodded. During the rest of class, we talked, and found out we have Trig together, Lunch, and Gym. "Anway." She continued. "I also have 4 siblings. But we are all adopted. There is Emmett, and Rosalie. Who are dating. Jasper, who I dating me. And Edward." She finished. I smiled and nodded. They all must be vampires. Sounds like a big coven too. The bell rang and I said goodbye to Alice.
The day continued like that and at lunch, Alice asked me to sit with her family, and I agreed. Alice and I walked into the cafeteria. We went straight to the lunch line, and she bought a ham and cheese sandwich, an apple, and a bottled water. I bought the same, but she was using hers as props. She steered me to where her family sat, and we both sat down. "Hey guys." Alice said. "This is Bella. Bella this is Jasper, my boyfriend. Emmett and Rosalie. And Edward." She said pointing to everyone. Jasper had honey blonde hair, and a look pain on his face. Emmett was big, with brown curly hair, and a smirk on his face. Rosalie looked like a model, with blonde hair, but she looked furious. And Edward. Edward looked like an angel. He had bronze hair, and had a look of confusion and frustration on his face.
I used my power to see what theirs was. Alice could see the future. Jasper could manipulate emotions. Edward could read minds. I knew that me and Jasper would get along well considering I can at least feel one emotion, and Edward had that look on his face because he could not read my mind. I laughed in my head, and Jasper gave me a questioning look, but I just shrugged.
"Bells take off your sunglasses. We are not outside. And you don't have any type of problem. Unless you are hurting your eyes by looking at my perfection." Emmett said, and then laughed. I made myself look hesitant, and decided I would say I have a condition. "No, Emmett. I have a certain condition. I need the shades, my eyes can't see too much light." I said. Emmett frowned, and Rosalie hit him in the back of the head. "Sorry, Bella." He mumbled. "Don't worry. It is fine." I said, sincerely. The rest of the conversation was filled with shopping between Alice, Rosalie, and I guess me too, but I was hardly listening. I was thinking about my mom and Phil. Recently, I had found out, they had sent a search party and never found me, of course. 23 years later, they ended up moving to Hawaii and retired. They both died in the year of 1730. "Bella?" Alice asked. "Oh, sorry." I said, and my eyes turned pink behind that shades. I felt pain, and Jasper's face now had a pained look.
"Bella. Want to go shopping after school? Then we can have a sleepover! It will be so much fun! We can do make-over's, and dress-up and-" I interrupted. "It sounds fun." I said, "But, no make-over's, or dress up. I hate shopping, so at least I am doing that. But that is the only way I will sleepover." Everyone's mouth's dropped. I am guessing nobody said no to Alice before. She pouted. "But, then what would we do?" She asked. "I don't know. Watch movies, play games, that kind of stuff." I said. She was still pouting, but nodded. I smiled, "Thanks, Alice." Emmett started laughing. We all looked at him at question and Edward started laughing too, probably reading his mind. "I can not believe, you did not fall for her pout. Watch out for the Pixie." Emmett said, between booming laughs. I giggled, but then I remembered something, "Oh, Alice. I can't go right after school. How about I meet you at the mall? Because I have something, I have to take care of." I had to go get a car, and go hunting, for tonight. "Okay, but hurry." Alice almost screamed. I was eating my sandwich, and Edward wrinkled his nose, probably thinking about how gross it is. I will have to throw it up later.
Soon, the bell rang and I went to Biology 2. I went in the classroom, sat down in the only free seat, which happened to be next to Edward. "Hi." I said. "Hi." He said. We talked about the weather a little bit, but that was it. The rest of the class we watched a video, that I was daydreaming during.
Then it was time for gym, and I groaned. In one of my old school's the gym teacher had a problem with my sunglasses on, even though I told him of my "condition." Hopefully they wont care. But one of the main reasons is because I have to try to act human, which is hard. I walked to gym, with Alice because we met in the hallway. The gym teacher, Coach Clapp, said I could sit out today since it was my first day. I was so happy. I was sitting on the bleachers, while everyone else played lacrosse. In the 1600's girls were not even allowed in school.
Then I started to feel sick, and realized that my food wanted to come up now. I ran out of the gym, to the bathroom, just in time. I threw up all my food, and then rinsed my face with water. The bell rang, while I was in there, so I saw Alice in the hallway. "Here. Let's meet at my house first, instead." She said. She handed me a piece of paper. "Bye Bella." She said, and started to walk away. "Bye Alice." I looked at the piece of paper to see her cell phone number and address. On my walk home I put her number into my cell, and went hunting.
After I finished up my last deer, I walked down to a car-dealer-ship. I found a black Mercedes Guardian, with black tinted windows. It goes 280 miles per hour, my kind of speed. I quickly paid for it, and started to drive to the address Alice gave me. I decided to call her. "Hello?" She asked. "Hey." "Oh hey, Bella! Where are you? Are you coming? Did you get lost? Are you alright? What did you have to do?" Alice asked in one breath, and I laughed. "I am about 5 minutes away from your house, I did not get lost, I am fine. And I had to pick up my car." I said. "Oh." She dragged the word out. I laughed again. Then I pulled into their driveway. "I am here Alice." I said. She hung up, and I put my phone away. Their house was huge, like a mansion. It was beautiful. Suddenly I felt Alice hugging me. "Wow. Nice car." Alice complimented. "Thank you. Are we going now?" I asked. "Yep." She said popping the P. She got into the car, and I was about to ask her where Rose was when she said, "Rose, can't go. Her and Emmett are on a 'date.'" And giggled, I giggled along.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am never going shopping again. Alice and I just got back to her house. We had so many bags I did not think they would fit in my car. We walked in, and put the bags down, and I finally got to see the inside of their house. My jaw literally dropped. It was so big, and beautiful. Everything was so rich, and expensive, I was afraid to touch anything. Alice laughed at my expression, she was about to say something but I could not hear her, because my power decided to tell me what the weather was going to be like tomorrow. It said, Rain for the whole day, and in the evening thunderstorms. "Bella?" Alice was waving her hand in front of my face. "Sorry." I said. "The house is beautiful." I continued. "Yeah, Esme decorated it. You want to meet my family?" I nodded. Alice shouted loudly for her family, even though I knew they could hear her if she whispered. They all came down. "Alright, everyone this is Bella." Alice said. "Hello." I said shyly. "Bella you already met, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Edward. So here is my parents, Esme and Carsile Cullen." She said.
"Hello, dear." Esme said. "Hello Bella. Welcome to our home." Carsile said. Carsile? The name sounded familiar I just could not spot it. And his appearance looked familiar too. He had blonde hair, pale skin, and golden eyed. "Do I know you?" I asked him. "I don't believe so." He said. I shrugged. "You look familiar. Who knows? I am clumsy, and have been to the E.R. a lot. Alice told me you were a doctor." I laughed, he laughed with me. He did look familiar but not from the hospital, I have not been there since I was human. I am not clumsy anymore. We talked a little bit, and then we watched some Harry Potter movies, and then we went to bed. I had not slept this week yet, so I will sleep tonight. I felt bad for Alice and Rosalie for having to lay there awake till I fell into a deep sleep.
