Twilight: Phase Two

1873

"Maria." I walked up to my vampire mistress and sire, bowing my head to a tilt.

She eyed me coolly, red eyes hard. "How is the training with the newborns?"

I frowned as I thought of what to tell her. "Since they are still young, they are a talented group, only about a month old; they will do much use before their year is up. Though soon, I need to take them to feed, the time is almost up."

She nodded slightly at what I said. I looked to the right to see Jasper teaching a couple of newborns, ripping a female of dark red hair's arm off and smashing her to the ground, throwing her arm in front of her face. "Don't attack me like that, next time." He growled out.

Maria gave me a look that showed I was dismissed and I nodded my head, saying a "Ma'am" in reply. I usually didn't use formalities with her, but I've only been a vampire for a couple of years now, around a decade at the most. They are a habit. I ran to where my group was and said. "Okay, time to feed. I will take you with me and you will do as I say unless you want to face punishment, is that understood?"

One snarled at me and I narrowed my eyes in annoyance. "I asked is that understood?"

A male with short blond hair attacked me, his red eyes dulled, turning darker with thirst. I step sided and grabbing his arm, ribbing it from the socket. He howled in agony and I snarled in his face and his shoulders shrunk, growling lowly in defense. I growled, it ripping through my chest. "Reattach your arm, newborn." I hissed. I threw it to him.

He did, tensing in pain as he attached it with venom. I said. "Can we go now?" They grunted, but did nothing to incur my wrath. I nodded. "Good, come on." I ran toward the towns and the newborns followed me.

I let them loose and they attacked the people of the night and did what they were told as to disposing of the bodies to make them harder to find. The scent of blood in the air made my throat burn and I lunged at the oversized young women screaming, two heartbeats coming from her.

I was shook out of my memory when Roy came out of his house in Converse, blue jeans and a blue t-shirt. He grinned when he saw me, shifting his backpack on shoulders I grinned from where I was leaning on my motorbike, haven't ridden it in a while. He groaned when he saw me with the bike. As he walked closer, I handed him the helmet. He shook his head at me, his black bangs falling into his eyes. I brushed one away with a loving smile.

He grinned at me and I put one leg over the bike, sitting down. I felt his heat from behind me, against my back. I said. "Hold on."

I felt his arms around my waist and his helmet against my back. I smiled and reamed the engine, darting forward. I felt and heard him heartbeats against my back. It didn't take long for us to be at school. He moved his hands and got off, so did I right after hhim. I pocketed the keys.

He wrapped an arm around my shoulders (I'm only slightly taller at about 5 feet 10 inches) and walked into school with me. It only made me smile more, he wanted to feel like he could protect me and I could give him this bit. One of the human males smiled at me and I slightly, nodding my head. I felt Roy's glare on him. I chuckled at him. "Are you…jealous?"

He huffed and tightened his grip on me before letting go. "I don't like guys looking at you."

I grinned at him softly and kissed him on the lips. "Don't worry about that, love. You are the only one for me."

He smiled back and nodded. "I know my southern dear, sorry."

I laughed a bit at the nickname he gave me over the summer. "Okay, time for class, see you at lunch."

We walked in different directions and I had Photo Tech with Alice and Edward. Emmett and Rosalie 'graduated' already. I walked in and waved to Edward and Alice, sitting by them at their rounded table. We had to take pictures, concentrated still pictures of the people of our table, to try to 'capture the beauty' or so he said. I swear he should become a Drama Teacher instead.

I grabbed the camera and smirked. "Pose, Eddie."

He gave me a glare and snatched it from me, snapping a picture. "Don't call me that."

Alice snickered from next to us. "Stop it, both of us."

Edward took a couple of pictures of me and Alice. "She started it."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed the camera from him, taking pictures of him and Alice. "Did not." I teased.

He growled under his breath and Alice said. "Remember to bring Roy tonight; I'm having a party for Bella like I did for Roy."

I shrugged and leaned back, tossing the camera to Alice. "Sure, no dress."

Her mouth opened and I shook my head. "Nope."

"Arya-"

"Uh, no."

"Just listen to me fo-"

"How about a no."

"Fine!"

I smirked at her and she narrowed her eyes. The bell rang and Alice brought the camera to the front desk. That was how the day went; I had Roy for history again. Instead of American History we had Economics and Government. It was close to the same stuff, they would mention American things along with the happenings around the world's history.

I sat with Roy, a grin on my face of getting to see him. I just fed yesterday, so it's not so hard being around all these humans and Roy being here just makes it better.

They were teaching about the beginning of time. Like I haven't heard this lecture millions of times and adding that with my vampire memory it was a bore. I just smiled at Roy and rolled my eyes at the sweating overweight man. He laughed under his breath, but shushed me, his paper full of notes.

"Miss. Cullen."

I looked up to see the teacher looking at me behind hid glasses with narrowed eyes and flushed face. "Yes, sir?"

He blinked, shocked at my respect and recovered. "If you were paying attention could you tell me what type of government Greece had and describe that government for me as well as what our government is and describe that?" His face was smug, well I'll show him.

I gave him a polite smile and leaned back in my chair. "Greece, Athens had a Direct Democracy which shouldn't be confused with the United States Representative Democracy as Direct Democracy allows everyone to make decisions and ours rely on representatives which we vote for on elections."

His smug expression changed from that to pure a shook, his eyebrows went past the top of his glasses and skin pulled to show wide eyes and his mouth pulled at a gap. I just grinned at him and he whiped his forehead and went on with the lesson with a shake of the head.

Class ended and it was time for lunch. Roy laughed as we walked down the hall. "That was horrible!"

I grinned at him, amused. "You mean it was not funny to you, then."

He rolled his eyes at me, a smile working at his lips. "That's not what I mean and you know it. You are over a century older than him."

I shrugged and as we walked through the cafeteria doors. "I didn't become an actual scholar till '65. Sure I learned things later on from when I left in the 1930's, but it was mostly traveling around. Not being a soldier anymore."

I stood in line and Roy just shook his head smiling. I grabbed whatever and piled it on my plate. I wrinkled my nose at the human food, how do they handle this stuff? I sat down next to Jasper and Roy sat on my other side, near Emmett. Rose turned a bit away from him and I gave her a glare. She really needs to get past this. Jasper kept his nose down turned, away from his scent. He did give him a smile in greeting, which Roy returned.

I turned to Roy. "Oh Roy, they're be a party at my house and what she says, usually goes unless Carlisle overrides it."

Roy chuckled. "I figured."

Jasper's lips twitched in an amused expression with a fond look. We just talked into the bell ran and finished the rest of our classes, no matter how boring they were.

I was driving toward Roy's house, dressed in a light women's button down shirt, black jeans and my leather jacket (though no temperature change touched me in any way).

Turning off the key, I cut the engine as wheels crunched over gravel. I opened the door, closing in lightly (not wanting to break it like those other times). I walked to his door and knocked a couple of times. A moment later, Roy opened it in a black button down shirt with silver lining and blue jeans, a jean jacket over his shoulders. He smiled at me and gave me a kiss. I smiled and kissed him back, until I felt his chest breathe a little sharper and I moved away, smiling at his sigh of disappointment. He closed the door and locked it. I cocked my head to the side. "Where's your mom?"

He leaned against the wall and said. "She has an extra shift at the hospital."

I nodded; he told me she was a nurse at the hospital. I think she was one of the only nurses that didn't fall for Carlisle. Even if it was amusing to see. "You're alone?" I let my arm lean against his head.

He rolled his eyes. "We are not starting this again. I lived like this for now 18 years. I can handle myself."

I sighed at him and opened my mouth to say something, but my phone rang. I frowned at my pocket and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Arya, no fighting."

My eyes widened, she looking into my future! She usually does, but not like this. "Alice, do not look in my future." I felt my anger build up, I hate when she did this.

Roy hand went to my arm with a concerned look. I knew he and Alice could here the anger in my tone. I calmed down. Alice apologized to me and I hung up, shoving it into my pocket. I pressed my lips to his, pressing up closer, smiling. I moved off, grabbed his hand and pulled him with me. I moved to the passenger side of the car and unlocked it, sliding in.

He opened the door hesitantly and gave me a surprised look. I gave him a soft smile and gave him a wave of my hand. I didn't forget how he felt a couple of months ago at Prom and since he was healed, I didn't mind him driving anymore. As long as he didn't drive my baby, I didn't care.

He grinned at me happily as I gave him the keys he took them and drove, a little too slow for my taste, but he was happy, so I could deal with it. He asked for directions every once in a while, but others than that, it was a normal ride.

He went around a couple times to crunch over the road and stop at the driveway. He moved the keys from the ignition and gave them to me and I put them in my pocket. We walked out of the doors and I left them unlocked (who going to steal from us anyway).

I grabbed his hand and walked with him with human speed to the door. His eyes were wide as they were when we hosted his birthday. "Wow, Alice really goes all out."

I smiled fondly. "Yeah, she does."

Edward was already with Bella, I could smell her. Roy smiled at Bella was a nod. "Happy Birthday, Bella."

She blushed and thanked him. I smirked; does that girl ever not go red in the face? I saw Edward glare at me. I just smirked wider. I felt a pulling on my hand; I looked to see Roy gave me a stern look as he looked between me and Edward. I just gave him a sheepish grin and did my best to look abashed. He rolled his eyes but smiled at me nonetheless. Esme came over and hugged him when I let go of his hand and Carlisle shook his hand.

Emmett grinned with a wave at Roy. "Hey!"

Roy face went to amused and he nodded, a grin pulling at his lips. "Hi, Emmett. Nice to see you again."

Alice came in and hugged Roy around the waist. She grinned. "Hey, Roy. Nice to see you made it."

I rolled my eyes at her. "I wouldn't forget, it's impossible as much as I'd want to forget things you tell me."

She scrunched her nose at me with a glare and I laughed before turning to Bella. "Happy Birthday, Bella. I do hope you are enjoying yourself?"

Her eyes widened, most likely at my quick question and the way I speak. She obviously blushed again and nodded. "Yes, I am. Thank you."

I dipped my head at her. Emmett said with one of his loud laughs. "I have to step out for a second. Don't do anything funny while I'm gone." At this he looked at both Roy and Bella." I also chuckled.

Bella replied. "I'll try." The sarcasm is amazing.

Roy raised his eyebrows and said dryly. "Thanks." I put an arm around Roy's shoulders and pulled him closer to me, making sure not to directly inhale his sent and to keep from smelling Bella at all. Emmett laughed once more and walked out. Jasper was by the wall away from the humans. He did sent them a smile, but kept his distance.

I was really appreciative that he protected Roy with the whole "James Incident", though I don't know how Alice and Jasper lost two humans. It still baffled me. Alice then came to Bella side and gently grabbed her elbow, declaring. "It's time to open presents."

She steering her toward the cake and presents. I felt Roy's head lean slightly on mine and I sighed in content. This was nice, he made me feel more human than ever, something I never thought I would be able to feel ever again. Also, the plus side of being a really good kisser, is really nice kisser…

Edward and Jasper hissed at me slightly, when the humans could here. I grimaced slightly as Edward heard my thoughts and Jasper must have been 'feeling' my lust or something like that. I calmed down after that and Roy looked around a bit and his brow was furrowed and he whispered. "Why do you have a different couch and T.V.

I coughed slightly and didn't look at him. I whispered back. "Don't worry about that."

He raised an eyebrow and then gave me a deadpanned look He said quietly. "What did you do?"

I frowned at him. "What? Nothing."

I heard a quiet chuckle from Jasper. I glared in his direction. "Shh."

Roy raised an eyebrow at me and I sighed in defeat. "Me and Edward were fighting and we broke the couch and T.V."

He eyes widened and he smirked, rolling his eyes. "Talk about having self-control."

I pouted. "Shut up." His face went into my neck and he chuckled. I was it was into talking to Roy, that a scent hit my nose and I stiffened. I growled rumbled through my chest and I narrowed my eyes at the blood coming from Bella. She was on the ground and it was all over her. I ran forward, crashing into Carlisle. I snarled at him, my teeth bared. That's my meal! Coven Leader or not, how dare he take it from me! I ran around him and smashed into him again. I snarled at him, trying to bit his neck. I then smelt a new scent, a less favorable one, but sweet still. It was a black hair and blue eyed young male. He was injured across the arm, his lively hood coming out in streams. I crouched with a growl, I'll just get this one!

"Arya, no!"

A small, but hard body slammed into mine. I glared and snarled, trying to bite her. I was grabbed from behind. I snarled and bit at nothing but air.

"Arya!" A sharp voice commanded. "Look at who you're attacking."

My throat, it burns! I listened to what he said, maybe he will release this burning and saw the black haired boy looked at me with wide fearful dark blue eyes. I stiffened, Roy…That's Roy, my mate. I snarled in Carlisle grip and tried to get to Bella. I was slammed to the ground, feeling it crack under me. I growled at him, snapping my teeth.

"Emmett get Jasper out of here! Rose, get Arya out, if she needs help, Alice do it." I snarled and pushed him away, then gotten grabbed by two more strong stone hands. I then stopped breathing and looked around, eyes widening.

Roy was hurt and so was Bella. Rose and Alice was pulling me and Calisle and Edward were by Bella's side. I was yanked out and I jumped back, for once feeling like I was going to be sick, even if it was impossible. I pressed my hands against the closest tree and bent my back. "Go, both of you."

"Arya-"

I growled. "Go." Then they were both gone. I dug my nails into the tree, breaking apart the bark. I can't believe…

My control…

Bella…Roy…

Oh, God, what have I done; the fear in his eyes! Of course there was fear, why wouldn't he be scared?! I almost killed him, almost killed Bella, Edward's-my brother's mate. I smashed my head into the tree. Monster!

A Monster, I never changed and I never! How could I believe Roy could change a monster like me?! Even Edward, who Bella is a Singer to, was able to resist. Though someone who is less desirable still makes me go on frenzy. I growled; imagine if Roy was my Singer, he would have been dead that first day in the classroom. I'm weak, the weakest link!

I was ashamed, I couldn't see Roy again! I need to leave! I yanked the tree from its roots and threw it at the others with a roar. I growled deeply and ran off, snagging a deer on the way draining it dry. I licked my lips of leftover blood. I grit my teeth and growled as a scent washed over me. Alice…

I snapped my head toward her, baring my teeth. Alice's face was worried as she came to my side and hugged me tightly. I clutched her shoulders. "Alice…how can I…What do I…"

She hugged me tighter. "Arya, it's ok. Don't run, we'll figure it out."

I moaned and hung my head, my forehead touching the top of her head. "I'm nothing but a Monster."

"Don't say that, come on back home."

I bowed my head lower as she let go of me and she kissed my cheek in sisterly affection and then grabbed my hand, walking with me at human speed. I asked, head low. "Where's Jasper?"

She frowned deeply, something unfamiliar on her face. "He wanted to be alone." I could see the worry for her mate shining through.

I sighed. "Makes sure Jasper knows he's not at fault and I'm not angry with him. I'm the one that should be blamed."

She yanked on my hand harshly, pulling us through the forest. "Stop that, I'll remind him again."

I frowned as we reached home and bowed my head lower. "Where is Roy and Bella?"

"Edward took them home."

I nodded at the thought of Roy's fearful look; I brought that look again, when I promised to myself I would never do that again. That look didn't belong to his face; I never wanted him to feel that. We walked in and I didn't look at Carlisle, too ashamed, how he must know how weak I am. I looked up to him, how he is able to be by bleeding humans all day for years and not be effected.

I stuffed my hands in my pockets and shrunk down even lower when Esme hugged me tightly to her with motherly affection that seemed to burst from her. I made sure I was as still as possible. I didn't deserve this, this kindness. Esme shouldn't be touching such a disgusting filthy monster!

She let me go with a sorrow filled look. I felt self-hatred, no self-loathing fill me. I know it's vampire nature to attack humans, but Roy was my mate, their no exception, we're not supposed to be a danger to them. Also Bella, She is Edward's mate, she grown on me over the summer, she came over to my home. I grew sisterly affection for her. I wanted to be able to protect her as family, how can I do that when I am the danger that needs to be protected from.

Edward needs to hurt me for attacking his mate, my just about sister. Alice loves her and thinks of her like a sister too. I smelt Edward's sent coming from the garage. I tensed my shoulder, feeling them dip a little lower. I flickered my eyes toward the door and back down toward the crack I made when I was slammed into it.

He needs to rip my limbs apart, bite me and let him venom burn every inch of my skin. Edward came through the door, his eyes and face darkly furious and his black glared into mine.

Wow! That was just wow…I can't believe I just wrote that depressing piece. I didn't know if I would be able to cover that depressing scene, the horrifying, but I did! I set it up that way for a reason. I hope you like this, the Second Book, New Moon. This story might be shorter that Twilight because it won't go by the book much. But it will still be a decent length.

Updates will be slow, but hopefully quicker, but being a Senior in High School is a thing with going to classes, homework and studying for the SAT and ACT next month. Save me! I also have plot bunnies that will be new stories, I know, hate me now. When she gets to the tree, listen to Naruto's Sadness and Sorrow, if you want to make it more emotional, if you want to.

Enough with my life, I hope you like it!
