A/N: Sorry to any readers who read this before. I had to delete it because I was having troubles with my computer. So here it is again.

Chapter 1 New.

Forks, Washington. How could I describe it? Rainy, damp, depressing, and most of all, the most wonderful place in the world.

It all started on my first day of school.

Being a vampire didn't help my patience at all. I wanted to get ready for school, but it was six hours from now. What could I do to pass the time? I thought.

I decided on a movie to watch.

"This'll definitely take up my time" I said out loud, I didn't care if I was crazy; I just wanted something to do.

The Lord of the Rings started playing. This was the longest movie trilogy that I had seen, and I loved it. I was watching the extended edition, so it was even longer. (A/N I actually have this set of DVD's...call me a geek and stuff...but I love the LOTR, it is the best series of movies.)

Time passed, slowly enough, and dawn began to break. Time to get ready.

I picked out a simple white t-shirt that fit my body perfectly. Designs on it amplified my curves too, wrapping around my waist and bust. I chose tight fitting black jeans and my favorite pair of black and white flats.

I applied a little bit of eye liner, lipstick, and eye shadow. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door.

I swung my body in my car, a black Volvo no less, and headed off for school.

Okay, so getting me to much attention was too much, I was already the new girl to start with. I decided that I would change my appearance so that I could look as human as possible.

Oh yea right! I would never be even close to human. I'm abnormally beautiful for one thing; I have super strength and speed. I have the power to absorb other vampire's powers, and to top it all off, I was depressed. I had lost the love of my life just because I felt guilty of him changing.

Time was up, my car was parked, my appearance was made, and the final bell sounded. Great! This will be just fun.

As I stepped out of my car I smelled something. It wasn't a human or anything else like that. It wasn't alive, it was another vampire coven. Five of them to be exact. Great, another coven. The only difference was that I recognized the scents. The Cullens.

I knew I had to make an appearance on the first day, but that's it. I walked into the small office; the woman there looked like she was in her early fifties. When she saw me come in, she smiled at me warmly.

"My name is Isa—Jess Truman, I'm new here," Isabella was my human name, I used it sometimes, but most of the time I used a different name.

"Well, welcome to Forks Jess. Here's your time table, please get this signed by all of your teachers and return it back to the office at the end of the day. Have a nice day Jess." And she left just like that. Oh well, time to start another year of annoying pointless school.

I wonder if I'll see him. I asked myself. Stupid, stupid, he probably doesn't remember you first of all, and second you left for him, so he could be better, found better. It was bad enough that you had to endanger his life as a human, don't bring it up. I scolded myself. It wasn't a good idea to be here. He probably didn't remember me anyways.

Oh shoot. I forgot. Carlisle, the Cullens' leader and father of the coven, told me once, on a visit, that he had four new members; Esme, his mate, Jasper and Alice, and Emmett. He didn't have to mention his fourth child, Rosalie; she was in my coven for a while, until she met Emmett. They're mates. Some of his 'children' have powers; Alice can see the future—hopefully she'll only see me as Jess and my regular body for this name, not my regular vampire—and her mate Jasper could feel emotions, that won't be great when I see him. If I see him that is. The last one was him, Edward Cullen, or as I remember him Edward Anthony Mason—the boy I fell in love with when he was human—he could read minds. That would be great.

My ability, as I finally thought of it, was just to absorb powers, it was very helpful at times. I had gained only a few abilities though. Depending on the ability, I could either soak it up by touching the person, or just being near them. I have gained only the powers of shape shifting, mind reading—that was because I saw Edward after he changed and touched his shoulder while in Carlisle's form— to freeze time, to feel emotions, to become invisible, including my scent, and also to block my mind and others from mind-related powers like Edward's.

I was walking to my third hour class, two more classes to lunch. Then I'll just have to wait and see if they are really here.

When I was in my classroom, Biology, I handed my slip to my teacher for him to sign and as soon as he signed it he pointed out an empty table and to a seat that was right next to the aisle. Someone must be sitting next to me.

I sniffed the chair, no one saw me, thank God, but the problem was I recognized the scent all too well. Edward Mason, rather now Edward Cullen was sitting right next to me. I hope Jasper's not in this class, and then I'm screwed. I thought. Shoot, Edward was standing in the doorway looking curiously at me. I hope my blocking ability was on. It was on for a while; I made sure throughout the whole school day that I wouldn't give up my secret.

Edward walked towards the table and sat swiftly beside me. Damnit he smelled good. As great as I remembered him and he still looked like the God he did from day one that I met him.

"Hello I'm Jess Turner. I'm new here." I introduced myself. Just because I left him for his own good, doesn't mean I can't talk to him in a different form.

"Hello," his voice was monotone, no hint of emotion in it. I could feel sadness and depression rolling off of him in loads. I received that power years earlier from a man that had similar powers to Jasper, but stronger.

"Are you alright?" I asked, I was truly worried that he was just about to die right there on the spot—if that could happen that is.

"Yes." He answered, trying to put some show of emotion in his voice, but it was entirely covered in sadness.

"No you're not," I argued, I didn't like seeing him like this. "I can feel sadness and depression all over you. What's the matter?"

He turned towards me, with a confused expression on his face.

"What did you just say? You can feel emotions?"

"Yep." I said, I didn't want to tell him I could absorb powers, which would be really bad.

I forced all the happiness I could put in a single person. I don't think that was enough, he still had a hint of sadness still left in his features.

He smiled, though, "My name's Edward Cullen. Thank you, I really needed that." He said, commenting my power.

"So what's got you all depressed?"

Edward's face fell again. "It's none of your business," he snapped, then suddenly looked up, into my eyes again. "I'm sorry about that. I have a bit of a temper" Like I didn't know, he's always had one. "But, really it isn't any of your business anyways." He said quietly while I nodded. I turned on my reading minds power that I had gained from him.

Wow, that girl is hot. A boy in the back thought, just great another admirer in my two hundred years.

Bella, where are you? I miss you so much. Edward thought, his mind's thoughts were even filled with agony. Damnit, why did I do that to him in the first place? I shouldn't have left him.

Edward, quit talking about her, she's dead remember? You tried Demetri, even he couldn't find her. Alice was hopeless, she couldn't find her either. He thought to himself.

Demetri? He had Demetri of the Volturi to find me? My God, was he that desperate to find me? My God and Demetri couldn't find me anyways. Well that's nice to know, in one sense of course.

Class was over. Edward turned to look at me with curious eyes again.

"I can't read your mind?" He said.

"Oh, that's another power I gained from my human part. Nobody could do anything to me that was related to the mind."

"Oh. Hey, did you get contacts or something, I know that you're a—But how can you have blue eyes?"

Shit, now what was I going to say?

"Um…yeah they are contacts; I have to replace them every hour. Oh by the way, if you can't tell, I don't have a diet like most of us, I eat animals instead." I couldn't say hunt, there were too many humans around, they would hear.

"Oh, my family does too. But I'm sure you've already noticed that part." He pointed to his eyes, and laughed. "Would you like to join me and my family at lunch?" His eyes sparkled with the thought. I wanted to say yes, but I couldn't. I didn't want to reveal myself to the whole world.

"No, during lunch I'm going to sit by myself. I just need to do some thinking, you know. It gets a little tire some trying to pretend like this." He just nodded and walked away.

Time for my next class.

Class passed by quickly. I guess that was because I was dreading lunch. I would see the rest of his family. I knew Rosalie so well, and she knew me. We were like sisters for a while.

I walked into the cafeteria, the human scents hit me. Well great then, not only do I have to deal with my long lost family that thinks I'm dead, but I also have to resist feeding on delicious humans? They all smelt good, but I had to control myself, I couldn't lose myself in front of all these people.

I grabbed my lunch and sat down at a table in the corner of the room. It didn't smell like any vampires sat here, so I was good. No human sat with me, I was glad about that too. Many guys here have been thinking sickening thoughts about me. It was so gross. Some were even brave enough to ask me out. On my first day no less! But I politely declined. It wasn't the best day of my life.

Edward and his family appeared only seconds after I sat down at my table. He looked perfect, as perfect as he was before.

He smiled at me when he saw me. His other siblings giving questionable looks at him, then followed his gaze to me.

Alice, being herself, had a huge grin plastered to her face when she looked at me. Glad that he was finally smiling, I guessed. Emmett looked confused, Jasper was trying to find my emotions, and I quickly calmed down, trying not to think of the love that was radiating off of me earlier. Rosalie, on the other hand, glared at me. Great, we were best friends and she's glaring at me. I thought. Oh wait; she doesn't know who I am.

Edward sat down at their usual table on the opposite side of the room. Edward was looking at me and smiling.

Oh Edward Anthony Mason, I miss you.

Edward had a confused expression on his face.

I turned my power on.

Did I just hear her thoughts? Did she just say my human name? Who the hell is she?

Well damnit, there went my cover.

I slowly rose from my seat, dumped my tray, and went to the nurse's office saying that my abdominal area hurt because it was special time of the month. I asked her if I could go home. I told her that I was feeling weak and told her that I needed some rest and medicine. She understood perfectly, probably knowing how bad it felt when that happened to her.

As soon as I was out of sight of any human, I ran at full speed to my car. Started it and drove away, to my house.

A/N So there was my first chapter. Again, i'm sorry for the people who have read this already and then i deleted it.
