This is my first fanfiction so go easy on me! I know the first chapter is a bit of a cliff hanger sorry! Don't worry though the answers will come but first you must RATE & REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 1-
My daughter's beautiful laughter filled the car like tiny bubbles of happiness. I hear Jacob give a throaty laugh in clear response to hers. I smiled; feeling completely content with my life.
Nessie was now eight years old but she had the physical appearance of eighteen and you had to be blind to see the crush she had obviously formed on Jake. This didn't really bother me as much as it once had but she now had the physical appearance of an eighteen year old and Jake was obviously not pressuring her into anything. Edward was still having trouble of course but he never stopped then from being together.
They had already had two dates but it still didn't seem official yet to Renesmee. She didn't think she was his girlfriend officially until he actually kissed her. Their first date Jacob didn't even give her a kiss on the cheek and Nessie's face was drawn in disappointment when she stepped inside the house. I felt a little sorry for her then. Her second date though Jake gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek and I watched from the behind the curtains (while not feel the least bit of guilt) as she blushed uncontrollably and I silently apologized for passing down that embarrassing gene to her.
We were almost to school now and it was another overcast day in Forks. I looked up to the sky as tiny droplets of rain slowly began to fall and I had to admit … it was good to be back.
After the situation with the Volturi eight years ago my family decided that it was time to leave. People were bound to notice that none of the Cullens were aging and we all knew it was bound to happen sometime. Jake had come with us and the rest of his pack went back to Sam, excluding Leah. Jake allowed her to stay with him as his only pack member and she roamed wherever she wished. I was pleased to hear how much more content she was nowadays. Jacob had recently informed me that Leah had in rolled in a community college and paid for it herself. She's also been taking yoga classes and anger management sessions and that she hasn't phased in weeks but still has trouble with her temper.
Anyways, we had all left Forks for eight years and now we were back. This wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for our newest family member, Falcon. I looked at Falcon out of the corner of my eye. He was sitting in the passenger seat wearing torn jeans and a plain with tee-shirt; his jacket was in the back but it wasn't like he would need it. His sandy blonde hair fell slightly in his eyes and his lips were set in a casual smile. Falcon has the ability to change ones appearance and even their voice. For instance, I currently have blue eyes, straight red hair, which was currently pulled up in a messy bun, gold freckles that spread across my cheeks and nose and he had also changed my voice to sound much more like Alice's high soprano voice than my real one, and I was three inches taller than my real height. Now, in reality I have curly dark brown hair, golden eyes just like the rest of my family minus my daughter, no freckles. Falcon has changed all of our appearances so we can come back to our one true home and be really happy. We also had to change our names though so in public my name is Marissa Lee Green. I for one didn't really like the name all too much but I couldn't decide one anything else so Marissa it is. Falcon of course didn't have to change his appearance at all; he's never once been to Forks or Washington State for that matter. But he did change his eyes from topaz to a warm brown. He was posing as Jakes brother. Also instead of seeing tall, dark, and happy Jake I say Clayton Banks. Clayton had sandy blond hair, just like Falcon, and brown eyes which were the same color or Jacobs. Falcon had changed Jakes height down to 6'4 which was still pretty tall but compared to how tall he was before it was a major shortening and he had also make Jake more lean so his muscles, while still prominent under his new white skin, were more like Edwards. He had altered his voice also so that it wasn't as deep but more along the lines of Falcon's voice.
I look in my rear view mirror at Jake and my daughter but instead of seeing Nessie I see Vanessa Hope Green. We had decided for her public name to be Vanessa because we found that Nessie could also be a suitable nickname for one named Vanessa. Vanessa also had red hair but hers flowed down her back in gently rolling waves. Her eyes were a dark brown, from afar they looked black, and she was one inch taller than her real height. We were pretending to be sisters and Rosalie and I am twins. Falcon had made it so we both looked exactly alike, the only difference between us was that her voice was only slightly deeper than mine and her eyes were sky blue whilst mine were more like a sapphire.
Falcon had also made Alice look completely different. Her small petite size had been stretched and now she stood at a lovely 5'10. Her spiky black hair had turned sandy blond, just slightly darker than Falcons, and her eyes had changed from topaz to brown. Her pixy face was morphed to resemble Falcon and Jakes new face because she would be playing their sister. Her public name is Ashley Jessica Banks.
Rosalie was pretending that her name was Liana Constance Green. Edward's public name is Bill Jonathon Foltz and Emmett's is Chris James Foltz and Jasper's public name is Jordan Michael Foltz. They were all pretending to be brothers and all had black curly hair, a slight tan, and beautiful green eyes. Emmett was no longer appeared as burly as he had before and Jasper seemed too had gotten shorter. Edward had gotten more buff and he seemed taller also.
The story that we all had to memorize, which was easy since we're all either vampire or half vampire other than Jake who had to recite it to himself a couple times, was that Mathew Green (Carlisle) and his wife Ann Green (Esme), had adopted Bill, Chris, and Jordan Foltz when they were all very young. Liana and Marissa are twins and were both seniors along with Chris, Jordan Foltz, and Falcon, Ashley, and Clayton Banks. Falcon, Ashley, and Clayton came into the picture when Mathew's cousin died and they had no other family to go to. Vanessa Green is also Mathew and Ann's biological daughter and she, along with Bill Foltz and Clayton Banks, are juniors.
I could see Forks High coming into view. Nessie squealed in excitement and Jake laughed at her anticipation. Falcon, Jake, and Nessie had all been laughing and sharing jokes all morning. Falcon was a riot and he had quickly befriended Jake and Renesmee and was hastily growing on all of us also. I thought back to the first time we all first met him…
-Flashback 1 year ago-
The burn in my throat grew in anticipation as I neared on my prey. The deer was chewing on some grass and he slowly raised his neck and looked cautiously around but it was far too late to be cautious. I lunged at him, seeing nothing but his large neck. And then the deer was gone, something large had swooped down and tackled him away from me. I growled. Why hadn't I noticed that someone else was near? I quickly landed on the ground gracefully and turned to face the intruder. I crouched and prepared myself to yell for Jasper if I need him; Edward had stayed home this hunting trip to watch Renesmee with Jacob. I warning snarl built in my chest and ripped its way out of me. The man who had stolen my dinner dropped the drained deer and turned to face me. He had a small trickle of blood at the right corner of his mouth and his sandy blond hair partly covered his left eye. He crouched instantly and a small growl came from him. I hissed. He seemed to realize what he was doing then and warily stood up from his crouch and said, "Sorry for snagging your meal from you, I didn't really notice you there until I hear you snarl." He said with a slight English accent. Well, we were in England.
When I didn't reply or move at all he stated, "My name is Falcon." He had a strong voice, not quite as deep as either Emmett's or Jakes though.
He cleared his throat when I still refrained from moving or speaking, "And yours is?" He held out his hand.
I finally stood from my crouch and cautiously walked towards him and grasped his hand in mine shaking it.
"Hello, my name is Bella Cullen." My wind chime voice still surprised me sometimes. I smiled a little shy and dropped my mental shield so Edward could momentarily hear my thoughts and realize the situation. After I was sure he understood everything I placed my shield firmly back in place. He let go of my hand.
Instantly then I was surrounded by my family, excluding Nessie and Jake. Edward came up and wrapped his arm around my waist while Carlisle walked up calmly and shook hands with Falcon. "Hello," his gentle voice greeted him.
Carlisle introduced us all to Falcon and we seemed to immediately click. It was like he was part of the family all along and he had just gone one a short vacation and now he was back. When we were sure we could trust him, with major reassurance from Edward, Alice, and Jasper, we introduced him to my daughter and to Jacob.
-End of flashback-
I was brought out of my memory when we pulled up into Forks High. I heard Nessie squeal again as she jumped out of the car with Jake. Falcon did the same and as did I. I closed the door of my dark blue Chrysler 300 that Rosalie had purchased for me as a Christmas present 2010. I liked the car but still had to admit that I missed my truck. Rosalie had taught me a little about cars.
I heard Edwards new black Volvo pull up into the parking space next to mine. He had gotten the new black Volvo when I crashed his old silver Volvo. I will have you know that it was never intentional I just got carried away with the speed and well … crashed. Edward was upset but as usual he wouldn't blame me at all. I walked over to him and gave him a quick peck on the lips before we began walking towards the main office. I had to silently remind myself that this was Edward even though he really didn't look anything like himself. I looked behind myself to see Jacob hesitantly put his arm around Renesmee shoulders and her cheeks turn scarlet.
Nessie wasn't really as shy as I was but she did blush at everything like I did. I saw how perfect they looked together even when they didn't actually look like each other at all. Thinking about love obviously brought my attention to Edward and I looked up at him and smiled to myself. Could things get even more perfect?
I could hear Emmett making a joke about Nessie's blushing and heard Jake heroically stand up for her which, I knew even with turning to see, made her blush even more.
Absentmindedly I began humming my lullaby and thought idle about how I felt a little sorry for Falcon. He had no one like how I had my Edward. Just like Edward was before I came here, he was all alone and surrounded by other people in love. I wondered if this bothered him at all. I'll have to ask Edward about it later.
I could also hear Rosalie talking to Falcon about cars and Emmett joking with Jasper. Alice giggled and I wondered for a moment what the joke was.
When we entered the main office we saw that Ms. Cope was still working here. She hadn't changed much, a few more wrinkles around the mouth and crowfeet at the eyes but that was all. She didn't look up when we all entered and we had to crowd in the small area that they provided outside of the desks that the secretaries used.
Edward cleared his throat and Ms. Cope looked up from her computer screen. She arched a red brow.
"Hello, I am Marissa and this is my family," I paused a moment to let that sink in, she looked like she was having a slow morning, and then continues, "we're new here."
Finally she moved and shuffled through some papers until she found what we needed.
"Ah! Here we go now … let's see," she said as she studied the paper for a moment, "Yes, here we are. Okay then."
She handed me the papers and showed us the best routes to each class room on one of the maps she handed to me then she pointed to another paper and said that we all had to get our teachers to sign these after each class and bring them back at the end of school. "I hope you all have a nice day. Good luck." She said with an encouraging smile.
We thanked her politely and hustled out of the tin space. It was crowded in there!
We all looked at our schedules then. Renesmee shared each one of her classes with Jake and five of her classes with Edward. I had every class with Alice and Jasper. I had Rosalie and Emmett for biology, P.E, Spanish and English class but that was it along with lunch, and I also Falcon in Calculus, P.E, and biology plus lunch. Sadly I didn't have lunch with Nessie and Jake but I did have it with Edward. I partly thought it would be good for Nessie to get to interact with normal teens but I was also a nervous wreck. What if the other kids were mean to her? What if they hated her? What if she didn't like school after all? But I knew that the first two questions were preposterous. No one could resist Renesmee. Period. The last question however, we would just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
When it was time to head off to class I snuck a quick sweet kiss with Edward and then walked off with Alice skip next to me and Jasper. They were both holding hands. Falcon walked off in the other direction because he had another class with Emmett and Rosalie.
The rain had stopped falling now and everything was wet. The grass and leaves seemed to have a coating around them that made them shine more and luminously move in the gentle wind.
"It's good to be back." Alice stated serenely and she was absolutely right. Being back in Fork had put everyone in a peaceful mood and I wondered if part of that was due to Jasper. From the corner of my eyes are gazes met and it was like he already knew what I was thinking. But instead of answering me at all her just averted his new green eyes to Alice and smiled a special smile that one only rarely saw on occasion; this smile he kept exclusively for Alice.
I was still looking at him and reminded myself internally to thank Falcon again later on. The only way to recognize each other was by sent and the way we all moved. We had been practicing on being human and looking human but it was hard to not be so abnormally graceful and lithe. I was still working on tripping purposefully every now and then as were the rest of my family. Emmett always made a few cracks on how much easier it was for me to accidentally trip on purpose and, while I didn't want to admit it, it kinda was.
Other students were starting to arrive now and the three of us tried to ignore the stares and gazes that followed us everywhere like a bad shadow. From my peripherals I saw a boy who looked to be trying to work up the courage with his friends to walk up to us. I frowned. This would be bad; while I felt completely in control and didn't really feel any bloodlust at the time I still didn't like pushing my limits.
I moved my bag from my left shoulder to my right as a makeshift barrier between me and the humans. I know it was silly but it did make me feel better.
Finally arriving at my first class of the day, walking at human pace was making me impatient, we all took seats next to each to each other with Jasper in the middle. We sat silently and waited for class to begin. The student pooled in and took up each desk and I felt a small burning in my throat but ignored it. The girl in front of me smelled like cinnamon and sugar. Venom came to my mouth instantly but I swallowed the bile back. She had kind blue eyes and dimples popped out on her cheeks whenever she smiled at a joke or comment made by one of her fellow piers. Her long raven black hair was in little curls that fell down her back tenderly that reminded me of Renesmee's curls. She was very pretty. When she felt my eyes on her she turned and noticed me for the first time. She smiled a small shy smile and I smiled in return; I didn't want to be rude.
She held out her hand and introduced herself as Riley Jones.
"Hello, I'm Marissa." I said shaking her hand and smiling.
She processed the information and I saw recognition light up in her eyes.
"Oh, you're the new kids!" She stated looking at Jasper and Alice also now.
"Yes, we're new here." Jasper said in a polite tone his brown eyes wary.
"So, where are you from?" Riley asked trying to be nice and not shrink away like her instinct told her to. I thought about how much Nessie would like her.
"England," I answered for us. It was true that we did just come back from England. It was nice there and had many rainy days so we felt fine but never completely happy like we were here.
Riley's eyes lit up at my statement. "Really? I'm going there this summer to stay with my dad." Her voice held much excitement and anticipation but not an ounce of envy but just a bit of nervousness. "Did you like it there?" She asked her eyes resting on mine.
"Yeah it was great. It's very nice there and I'm sure you'll love it. My family certainly did!" I said smiling encouragingly.
"My dad moved there just a few weeks ago. He travels all over the world because he's a writer and he just has the money to do just that I guess. He really does love traveling but I miss him sometimes." Her voice was a little sad now and had much longing in her eyes. I knew how she felt, not being able to see your father whenever you wished.
She blushed about admitting that bit of information with people she just met. Her blush wasn't as red as mine was nor as red as Nessie's but it still looked cute on her while I tried to ignore the sudden fire in the throat and I felt Jasper tense next to me. I averted my eyes from the blood pooling in her face quickly and the teacher walked.
I didn't recognize the teacher however. Instead of Mr. Varner we had a young woman named Clarissa Young. She looked to be about Emse's age and her short black hair was so dark there appeared to be purple and blue highlights in it but I could tell there weren't. She was tall, very tall. As in, Jacob Black tall and I wondered idly if she was a few inches taller than him like how she looked. One could easily tell that she was muscular but in a feminine way and her eyes were a creepy blue. Not like mine or Rosalie's or Riley's blue eyes though; Mrs. Young's eyes seemed to almost glow like a beautiful gemstone in the light and they even glittered every now and then. She wrote her name on the board and I noticed, from my seat in the back of the class, how long and delicate her fingers were. Her skin was all cream and roses. And she had on a cardigan sweater over some comfortable looking jeans. She started off her lecture with an ice breaking joke about how gray it was outside but I wasn't totally listening.
My mind was completely captured by her eyes. They were so gorgeous it was almost inhumanly! I immediately felt self conscious when her eyes landed on me and it was like she was staring into my very soul. I tore my eyes from her penetrating gaze and stared at my hands on the desk in front of me. I looked up shyly and found her still staring at me with her nose flared and her face flushed, but still she smiled kindly like a mother to her child at me. She quickly composed her face and launched into a lecture that I didn't listen to; I already knew everything that they were going to try to teach me.
I looked at Jasper and his green eyes were scrutinizing Mrs. Young intensely.
I bit my lip. Something felt very odd here. My muscles had tensed the second Mrs. Young had walked into the room. Venom had pooled in my mouth and I didn't notice that I was growling so quiet I was sure none of the other students had heard but I felt Jasper kick my chair and I stopped and gave him a guilty smile which he didn't return but just kept staring at Mrs. Young and I felt kinda bad for her. It must feel off having some strange vampire boy glare at you. I should know how that feels…
I was thinking about Edward, my love, when I heard my name called.
"Marissa Green, Jordan Foltz, and Ashley banks." Mrs. Young called our names distinctly and continued, "I would like to say on behalf of your class, welcome to Forks." Her voice was both kind but wary. Why? This human was confusing me.
I hadn't been breathing this whole time but I took a breath then and a hiss escaped my lips before I clamped then together tightly. My nose was on fire! My nostrils flared as the air is self seemed to burn them. The whole class was staring at me and my brother and sister.
"Thank you." We all said together. I say Alice from the corner of my eyes that her hands were balled into fists that were much bigger than they normally would have been. I also saw that Jasper had been biting his tong and gripping the sides of his chair. I put a calming hand on his shoulder and I saw his grip lessen the lightest amount. It would be bad to start off our first year back in Forks by breaking school property, even though it was the middle of the school year.
I couldn't have been anymore tense. My muscles were so stiff that I thought they might brake but of course they didn't hurt at all. Being a vampire had its advantages…
Mrs. Young smiled back at us like she couldn't see how stiff and coiled up we were. I tried to look smile in return but it turned out more like a grimace.
For the rest of the class Mrs. Young spoke to us about calculus and I realized that she really was a good teacher … but something about her still made me want to … to what? Kill her? The thought brought a smile to my face and my lip curled. I gasped slightly. I have never drunk from a human and I wasn't going to start now. I bit down hard on my tong and clasped my hands together on the desk a bit too hard and it sounded like rocks being smacked together. Something was wrong with this human and I was most certainly going to find out what….
Chapter 2-
The rest of my classes went by in a blur until lunch. I grabbed my tray off the cool silver counter and began filling it up with food. Alice stood next to me and, without looking, she picked up numerous varieties of food from the counter. I recognized the blank stare in her eyes and didn't say anything until we all sat down at the only empty table in the cafeteria.
I noticed Riley sitting with two other girls and one other boy. The boy was having noticeable trouble with keeping his eyes away from Rosalie, even though Falcon had alteredher appearance she was still drop-dead gorgeous. The majority of the females in the bland cafeteria shot us all envious glares though but I noticed Riley just look at me with a friendly smile playing on her pink lips. I wold definitely have to introduce her to Renesmee.
I was looking at the awed expressions of several teenagers as we walked by when I dared to take a quick breath and a feral, but semi quiet, snarl escaped me. I was doing bad at keeping the vampire habits down. My nostrils flared again as the same horrid smelling fire entered my nose. Ugh! What was that? It smelled like ... well, just plain bad! Like there was no word to describe the disgusting scent that seemed to pollute the very air around me. I looked to Rosalie who shared my lunch along with Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Falcon, and my beloved Edward who came up behind me to wrap an arm around my waist and kiss my hair without stopping our walk to the other side of the cafeteria. I looked at his face and it was strained; his nostril flared and his eyes were squinted into slits, his teeth were clamped tightly together and his back was tense. His lip curled slightly as we neared a table with only two teens sitting at.
I looked at the two teens, a boy and a girl, and I noticed that they're eyes were an exquisite gray, almost silver really, that shined in the light just like four small silver orbs. I also noticed that they both were gripping that table like it was a life line and the boy sat awkwardly - half sitting half standing. His chair was not moved from under the table but his butt wasn't touching it at all. His knees were bent and it looked like he had frozen in the process of getting up. The girl had her hand, the one not gripping the edge of the table, on his shoulder like she was trying to hold him down. Both of their noses were scrunched up like they smelled something awful and the girl looked doubled over on herself as if she was trying to not vomit. Our eyes locked for a split second and I swore I heard her growl but I also releasedmy own hiss first. Edward snarled back at her and I elbowed him in the rib. That's when the boy stood up all the way and the girl hadn fell away when his shoulder was out of reach. He bared his teeth and looked like he was about to crouch but then the girl stood up abruptly and dragged him off. I watched warily as they left with narrowed eyes. I hadn't noticed that Edward and I had stopped walking to stare at the boy and girl before but now Edward pushed me forward with his arm like a vice grip around my waist.
I looked behind me and was happy to see that no one showed any notice at the scene. We made it to our table after everyone else and they all had tense narrowed expressions. Emmett's was just excited though but it switched to wary anytime his eyes fell on Rosalie.
"Who were they?" I spat the words, shattering the silence. I was surprised with myself but couldn't deny that I already hated the odd boy and girl. Alice was the one who answered my question.
"Werewolves," she stated matter of factly. Her face was grim with determination and the far-away look kept creeping into her eyes and then fading out. "I couldn't seen them though ... and I didn't smell them until Calculus with that Mrs. Young." She all but snarled the name.
I knew something was wrong with Mrs. Young! She's a werewolf! Well, then problem solved we'll just have to discuss the treaty with them and ... my happy thoughts stopped when I scrutinized their expressions again. Oh.
"By werewolf you mean ... not Quilete?" I squeked. I had only heard of the real werewolves once and never thought much of them at all.
Edwards arm tightened and he leaned over me slightly.
"What do we do?" I asked. I for one honestly had no clue.
Jasper answered this time, "I don't think we can do anything right now, what with all the other students. We don't want anyone getting hurt," his eyes flashed to Alice, "I vote that we wait until after school and then go home and tell Carlisle."
The rest of us all agreed, even though Emmett did grudgingly make a few comments about having to wait to bust some dog heads. I rolled my eyes, he was always up for a fight, but I could still feel the nervousness in them. My thoughts instantly went to Nessie and I frantically asked Edward, "Is Renesmee alright?"
"She's fine love, the dogs are going to Mrs. Young now their speaking together and ..." his voice trailed of and his brow furrowed in concentraion. I noticed how when he said 'Mrs. Young' his voice seemed to break and a small hiss escaped his lips. We were all speaking to low and fast for humans to notice.
"What is it?" I asked worried by his expression. Even though his features were all completely different I could still sense that this was my Edward.
"It's hard to hear them." He said in one breath. He looked very annoyed.
"What do you mean?" Falcon asked. He didn't look any happier about the werewolves as the rest of us which actually surprised me a little. He was alwasy in a better mood than the rest of us.
"It's strange, like their thoughts have holes in them. Like I'm only getting bits and pieces of what their thinking. It aggravating ... like I'm reading a book but some scratched out every other sentece and tore out pages." Edward grumbled, clearly disgruntled about this.
"Well, the are filthy mongreals, they probably don't think right anyway." Rasalie said. She sniffed but then gimaced for the werewolf scent was still in the air.
This new information only made the rest of us more wary. I looked at Rosalie, the most protective member of our family, and she looked so tense I thought she might break into a million pieces if she moved. It was as if someone had sculpted the most beautiful woman in the worl but made her obviously furious and just plain mad.
I thought back to the boy and girl and replayed the scene between us in my mind. They both looked far too young to be either senior or junior. Most likey freshman. The girl had short blond hair that feel just to her jaw line and stuck out in funny directions that reminded me of Alice's hair. Thick honey blond eye lashes framed her piercing silver eyes. Her skin was white but not even close to as pale as ours. Her cheeks looked like someone had implanted pink rose petals under her skin but her face turned chalk white when she met my eyes. The boy had short coal black hair and freckles that kissed his cheeks and nose. His brown eyelashes framed his silver eye which were in the light at the time and shined brightly. I mean literally shined and glowed! They were beautiful but something about them made me want to tear his throat out. I laughed darkly at the thought but didn't feel guilty this time. He had a cute button nose and honestly he was just plain adorable he could probably pass as a vampire if it weren't for his eyes and the smell. The same went for the girl. I remembered how her hair looked like actual sunshine even in the flourescant lighting and how her skin was absolutely flawless, her lips were a perfect pink double curve and her teeth were extraordinarily white and straight. If only I hadn't only seen her teeth when she growled at me and Edward. -if you want a more visual of how the boy and girl look like then watch Bridge to Terabithia. My characters look exactly like the main characters of that movie. I will try to upload pictures on my profile soon- I had trouble believing that they were in highschool though...
"Have you gotten any information from the mutts Eddie?" Emmett asked with a teasing smile but seriousness colored his eyes.
Edward growled, he hated the nickname, but answered anyway, "No, nothing useful that is. Just that Mrs. Young is also a werewolf and ... Oh! They are a pack. Hmmmm ... that's unusual, usually werewolves only travel alone..." His voice trailed off again concentrating with all his might.
