The New Family
Chapter One: The New Neighbors
I looked out the window to find Edward's car outside already. I turned around to go down stairs, but something caught my attention. I turned back toward the window to see a moving van parked on the side of the road. I wondered who would want to move to Forks as I ran down the stairs. I smiled as I opened the door, but Edward didn't smile back.
"Everything okay?" I asked as I turned to get my jacket.
"Yea." He said as he looked around the house. I could tell that he was lying.
"You sure?" I was giving him one more chance to tell me what was going on.
"Yes, I just thought I saw something." He looked back at me and smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Well are you still looking around or can we go now?" I didn't wait for him to answer me as I stepped out of the house.
"Bella?" His voice sounded concerned now.
"Yes."
"Are you mad?" I sighed as I turned to face him.
"Of course not, I just don't see why you can't tell me what is going on. I know you were lying to me…" My voice trailed off and I starting walking toward his car.
"You'll see." He opened the car door for me, but before I got in I looked at the moving van again. I man in a long sleeve sweater got out and walked to the house, but before he went in he turned around and looked at me. He had black eyes and it looked like he hadn't slept in weeks, that's when I knew what Edward was talking about. As I got in the car I didn't say anything. The last time a coven of vampires came to Forks I ended up running for my life.
"Are they good?" I blurted out. Edward chuckled and I relaxed.
"Yes, they feed off of animals just like us."
"They?"
"Yes the man that you saw, a women, her daughter, and a boy."
"How old?"
"The man is 35, the women is 30, the daughter is 12, and…" His voice trailed off and I realized we were at school already.
"And what?" What was so bad about the boy that Edward couldn't tell me how old he was?
"And the boy is 18, but he says he's 17." Edward looked down as he said this, so I decided to get his mind off of the boy.
"Is the girl the real daughter of the women?"
"Yes, they died together." Edward was already out of the car and opened my door.
"How?" I asked as I got out.
"They were in a car crash." He said and I saw Alice leaning against Rosalie's car.
"Hey Alice." I didn't ask anymore questions about the new vampires and I think Edward was glad.
"Hi Bella." She whispered something to Edward and he shook his head.
"No." He said making the conversation loud enough for human ears.
"Well she needs to sometime." Alice was begging now.
"No she doesn't." I could tell the conversation was about me. One thing I hated about vampires, they can talk about someone that is standing right beside them and that person have no clue what they are talking about.
"Hey, guys we are going to be late for class." I didn't want them to talk about me anymore.
"She's right come on." Edward said quickly ending the conversation. Alice sighed and rolled her eyes.
"I think…," Alice started to say but quickly stopped. Edward stopped walking and both of them looked at the car that just entered the parking lot. Edward stiffened up and grabbed my waist. He said something to Alice and she nodded her head. "See how I agree with you, why can't you do the same with me?" When she said this I couldn't help but laugh. Edward walked me to my class, kissed me on my head, then left.
BTW I dont own the characters in this story
