"Bella! Did you hear about the new kids that transferred here?" Angela called to Bella while running down the hall towards the girl. Bella turned around and looked at her best friend with her deep purple eyes with silver lining.
"Can't say I have heard around town about a new doctors moving in with a family… a big family," Bella answered with her slightly raspy, bell like voice.
"That's them! The Cullens and Hales and Brandon's, I don't know much about them however," Angela said in one breath. Bella stared at her in amusement and jumped in surprise when the lunch bell rang. Her and Angela made their way to the cafeteria and grabbed lunch, Bella two, her appetite has always been large. They sat at their regular table with Jessica, Lauren, Mike, Eric, and Tyler. Bella heard the door from the outside open and she looked up, Jessica, Angel and Lauren all followed her gaze.
"Oh my God they are gorgeous," Jessica whispered and Bella swore she saw them smirk right after the comments.
"Those are the new kids I was telling you about," Angela whispered to Bella. The family sat down and the messy haired boy looked over to their table at glared at Bella.
"Did you do something to him Bella, he looks angry," Jessica asked.
"No of course not, haven't even met any of them," Bella said and looked away from their table.
"Well, I've heard all about them," Lauren smiled at her knowledge over them.
"And what's the word oh knowledgeable one?" Bella asked sarcastically, which earned a couple of giggles from Jessica and Angela along with a few of the new kids. Lauren glared at her and continued on.
"Well, the messy brown haired guy that's was glaring at you is Edward Cullen, he was the originally adopted child of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. It's said they started adopting because they couldn't have children. Anyway, the blonde girl is Rosalie Cullen, previously known as Rosalie Hale second to be adopted. Next is her younger brother Jasper Cullen, also a previous Hale who was thirdly adopted. Then the really big guy is Emmet Cullen, previously known as Emmet Brandon and the little one is his younger sister Alice Cullen. I heard that Emmet and Rosalie are dating and that Alice is a complete gay," Lauren finished. I glared at her for her last remark.
"How do you even know all of that Lauren?" Angela asked.
"I do my research on any competition I would have," Lauren shrugged. Bella looked over at their table and saw many different emotions, Rosalie was pissed along with Emmet, Jasper looked annoyed along with Edward and Alice looked almost ashamed.
"What's wrong with Rosalie and Emmet dating? They aren't related or anything," Jessica asked.
"They live together, so it's gross," Lauren replied and if Bella knew any better she swore Rosalie and Emmet got angrier.
"What's wrong with Alice being gay?" Bella asked looking towards Lauren.
"Are you stupid? It's gross and totally against what the Bible said," Lauren snapped.
"Well excuse me for not believing in a book that was written what like a billion years ago? And how is gross?" Bella questioned.
"It's gross because it's unnatural, and if God wanted the same sex to be together, he would have made only one sex," Lauren replied. I laughed out loud at this gaining the attention of the rest of the table and the Cullen's table.
"Lauren you do know that I'm gay right?" Bella asked with amusement in her eyes. Alice actually looked at her for the first time since they entered the cafeteria and couldn't help the way she enjoyed the way they sparkled and how this mysterious woman that didn't even know her was defending her.
"WHAT! Oh my God get out of here, why are you eating with us, why are we allowing her to eat with us?" Lauren exclaimed looking at everyone at their table.
"Well on because she's our friend," Angela said.
"And she's fun to hang with," Jessica piped in.
"And she's cool," Eric said.
"And she's still smoking whether she likes girls or boys," Tyler said smiling.
"And she's badass," Mike finalized.
"Whatever freaks," Lauren sneered, she stood and walked over to the jocks table.
"I'm going to go introduce myself," Bella said and stood from the table. Bella walked over and stood at their table. Alice looked at her and swore she felt her heart beat. Bella smiled at her brightly and felt a vibration erupt in her body from the sight of the beautiful girl. Then Bella's eyes focused on her eyes and noticed they were gold… she glanced at everyone else's and noticed the same coloring. Hmmm vampires… intriguing.
"Hi, I'm Bella… I just wanted to welcome you to Forks and apologize on behalf of Lauren you her compete ignorance," Bella said.
"Hi! I'm Alice," Alice replied happily. She was entranced by Bella's strange colored eyes. She defiantly knew she wasn't human.
"I'm Emmet," Emmet said smiling; he looked at Alice and noticed they gleam in his sisters eyes, then looked at Rosalie who didn't look too pleased. "And this is my girlfriend Rosalie," Emmet introduced her.
"I'm Jasper," Jasper said while he studied Bella. Bella then looked towards Edward who was keeping his head down.
"Edward," Alice hissed.
"What are you?" Edward snarled. Bella was taken aback at the sudden question and felt her inner beast growl at the vampire's tone.
"Edward," Alice said more sternly.
"Why I'm not sure what you mean,' Bella said innocently.
"Bull, you aren't human so what are you?" Edward growled.
"I don't have to answer to a rude vampire such as yourself," Bella said too lowly for human to hear.
"Why do you get to know what we are and we don't get to know what you are?" Edward questioned.
"You need to earn my trust before I tell you about myself just like I have to earn your trust on how exactly you all became vampire and why you don't feast on humans… meet me in the woods after school and we'll talk," Bella said and walked back to her table. Edward was pissed and he heard Alice's thought process. Jasper could feel the pure love and wanting pour out of Alice and he smiled, happy to know she found someone.
"Alice no," Edward said sternly. Alice looked at him with a glare.
"I'm sorry, but you don't get a say in that matter now stay out of my head," Alice whispered harshly and went to look out the window.
In the woods after school
Bella was sat on a broken down tree, with her eyes closed enjoying the nature. She has always felt at home in the woods and never quiet understood it. She heard quick footstep approach and then stopped… all five of them here. Bella took a deep breath and smelled each of them off the breeze. Rosalie had lavender and rose petal smell to her, Emmet had the smell of pine and fresh dirt. Jasper smelt like a stream, Edward had a more musky smell… something close to woods and Alice… she smelt of vanilla and an assortment of wild flowers. Bella opened her eyes and looked at them all.
Alice also took in Bella's smell, she had a wonderful mix of rain and woods, like fresh spring after a light rainstorm.
"So what are you?" Edward demanded.
"I am I cat," Bella said and they all looked at her confused.
"What like a house cat?" Emmet asked. Bella chuckled lightly and Alice immediately fell in love with the sound. Edward growled at her thought and she snarled back at him. Bella tensed at him growling at Alice but let it go. Bella walked towards them and stopped.
"I'll show you," Bella said smiling, even though she knew that transforming was a painful process when not being in the face of danger. Bella took a deep breath and her other side started growling in protest. NO you listen to me and come out! The beast roared and Bella groaned in pain and fell to her hands and knees. Alice took a step forward in concern but then saw and heard Bella's bones breaking and changing. Bella clenched her teeth in pain and arched backward. Her clothes shredded and soon before the Cullens was a large black tiger with silver striped. Bella's head turned up and looked at them with her same piercing purple and silver eyes.
Edward growled and crouched down and defense. Bella looked at him un amused and let out a gruff. Alice took a hesitant step forward.
"Alice,' Rosalie warned in concern. Alice ignored her and continued to walk towards Bella. Bella watched and tilted her head in curiosity. Alice found the look endearing and was soon in front of Bella. Alice brought her hand up and hovered in front of Bella. Bella looked at it before lowering her head and then nudging the top of it against Alice's hand. Alice started petting the top of Bella's fury head and soon heard and felt Bella start the purr. Alice giggled.
"It's like having my own personal kitty," Alice teased. Bella gruffed and lifted her front feet off the ground before pushing Alice on the ground, pinning her effectively. Edward took this as a sign of aggression and attacked. Bella looked up in time to feel Edward plow into her. Bella flew ad hit a tree. She felt a couple of her ribs break and gave out a whimper before she stood and prepared herself for a fight but instead saw a small Alice screaming at Edward.
"What do you think you are doing Edward?" Alice screamed.
"She was attacking you!" Edward snarled back.
"She wasn't attacking me! She was playing," Alice yelled.
"How was I supposed to know that? I can't read her mind," Edward defended.
"No one else though she was attacking me," Alice pointed out. Edward huffed in defeat. Alice looked back at Bella who was now lying down, her head in between her paws. She wasn't able to hold herself up any longer, the pain in her ribs ached. Alice rushed over and tried to assess the injuries.
"Bella, are you okay?" Alice asked. Bella looked up at her and let out a huff of air. "Emmet, please help me carry her back home so Carlisle can look at her," Alice called. Edward nodded and walked over to them. Alice supported the head while Emmet supported the rest of her body.
"You can't take her back to our place, she'll now where we live and could attack us! What about Esme?" Edward snarled.
"Edward let it go," Rosalie commanded. She wasn't too fond of Bella, but she knew that Edward was taking it too far. Edward glared at her in question; she just shrugged and followed her husband and Alice. Jasper trailed behind and then Edward followed reluctantly.
They soon arrived and they walked into the house. Esme came out the kitchen and was shocked by what she saw. Two of her children carrying a very large tiger.
"Hi mom, do you think she could borrow some clothes?" Alice asked smiling. Esme stood there for a few seconds confused before she nodded quickly and flashed upstairs before being right back down. Esme handed them to Alice and Alice set them next to the large tiger that was now resting on the ground.
"We'll leave you be," Alice said and they all walked into the kitchen Bella changed back and as quickly as she could with broken ribs put the clothes on. Once that was finished they entered the living room.
"Thanks," Bella said to Esme, Esme smiled.
"Of course dear, Alice filled me in on everything, it's nice to meet you," Esme said.
"Thank you then for understanding Mrs. Cullen," Bella said politely.
"Please dear, call me Esme," Esme said right before Carlisle came in.
"My it's a full house," he said smiling, "and a new face, hello I'm Carlisle," Carlisle said holding his hand out for Bella. Bella stood and winced, which he noticed. She took his hand and shook it.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Bella" Bella replied with a slight smile.
"Well Bella I couldn't help but notice that you winced while standing up… and that you're wearing Esme's clothes," Carlisle said waiting for an explanation.
"Oh yeah well um, I broke a couple ribs," Bella explained.
"And she did that because Edward tossed her into a tree, really really hard," Rosalie commented.
"Yeah well dad, Bella needed to borrow Esme's clothes because she ripped her transforming into a werecat…. Weretiger? She turns into a very big tiger," Alice smiling.
"Well interesting, Edward why did you throw her into a tree?" Carlisle asked.
"She was attacking Alice!" Edward defended himself.
"No she wasn't she was playing around, no one else got the signal that Bella was attacking me especially after she let me pet her," Alice argued back.
"Alright, alright enough. First let me check your ribs Bella," Carlisle said. Bella nodded and sat for him, he lifted her shirt up just below her breasts and started palpitating her abdomen. Carlisle hit a sensitive area and Bella took a sharp intake of breath at the pain.
"Well Bella, it does seem you have 3 broken ribs. I'll wrap your body and I want you to lay off the extensive labor and Edward I need you to not throw her into things," Carlisle smiled. Edward just scowled and looked away.
"Thank you Carlisle," Bella said gratefully.
"So Bella, mind telling us how old you are?" Jasper asked, Bella smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Around… 500 years? I was bitten back then shortly after I turned seventeen and transformed later that night. It was excruciating," Bella recounted.
"What was your family like?" Esme asked.
"My family and I were in Europe for a long while when America was discovered… after I was bitten I waited a long while and lived in the woods. When I visited Britain I heard about the revolution that was happening in America and went there. I watched the war wage on until America was able to declare independence. Anyway my family… my father was a well-respected cop… chief actually and he loved us very much, but was never around much to know what was happening at home. My mother was sweet and tried to be my friend more than my mother. She let me get away with things that I should have never gotten away with. I was arrested more than once back then… I gave my father hell. It was too soon when they died. By those damn things that changed me. They slaughtered them and found me hiding in the wardrobe. But one of them thought I would be a great asset to their team and changed me," I finished.
"I'm terribly sorry," Esme apologized.
"It's not your fault, Esme," I laugh.
"Yes but I brought it up…"
"And it's not your fault that you were curious. I admit that my story isn't happy, but I'm sure I'm not the only one here with a sad story," Bella said calming Esme a bit.
"Well yes that is true," Esme affirmed.
"Well… I'm sorry for imposing I should get back home," Bella said standing.
"No not all dear we were happy to have a guest," Esme smiled, which Bella returned.
"Here let me drive you back to your car," Alice said grabbing Bell's hand. Bella nodded and allowed Alice to pull her out of the house to her Porsche. Bella got in along with Alice and they started heading down the highway to the school.
"I'm sorry for how rude Edward was earlier," Alice apologized.
"Its fine, he doesn't trust me and I would have to admit, I don't trust things that I don't know about either," Bella replied and looked at Alice.
"But you knew about us?" Alice pointed out.
"Well, I have heard about your family every once and a while. I also have met a few of you while you were human," Bella said, Alice looked to her wide eyed before swerving without looking, missing a deer that jumped out into the street before going back in her respectful lane.
"Who?" Alice asked curious. Bella smiled at her.
"Well, I have met jasper before the war that he was in… before he was changed by that one vampire… Um Emmet in a local bar before he went into the woods for a hike, Rosalie… she hosted a party before she was married and then… you," Bella finished with a smile.
"Me?" Alice asked fully interested. They had arrived at the parking lot and Alice had already parked the car.
"Yes, your family was hosting a dinner party for all the nobles of the time, he introduced you and your younger sister Alyssa before the party started, you were quiet captivating back then also," Bella said.
"Wow," Alice muttered and tried to think back, but was unable to recall anything from her past.
"Well Alice I thank you for the ride, I'll see you tomorrow at school yes?" Bella said getting out.
"Of course, we also are going to have to get back together so we can talk more about the past," Alice said.
"You got it, thanks again," Bella said waving.
"No problem," Alice got out before Bella shut the car door and walked over to a parked Kawasaki sports bike. She got on and threw a helmet on before starting it up and driving off.
"I didn't she drove a motorcycle," Alice mumbled before smiling and peeling out of the lot.
I think me and Bella will become very close.
There's chapter 1… let me know what you think. :D
