Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story except my own and am doing this purely for fun. There will be no flames in this story and if there does seem to be I apologize ahead of time, it is not my intention to bash any of the characters.

I did what I had to… It was the right thing to do. The only way I can protect her is by being away. I didn't want to be away from her but I had no other choice, she didn't belong in my world, she could never understand the pain and constant solitude I have endured since I have been changed, she could never see what I see nor will I ever allow her to see it. However as I constantly tried to convince myself that leaving was the right thing to do then how come when I look at her with Jacob it kills me? It wasn't supposed to be this way… I wanted her to love me yet I wanted her to hate me. It was a constant vicious cycle that I could not erase my mind.

As soon as I came back to Forks that is when I realized that Bella had moved on, she told me that she couldn't be with me due to my constant unpredictable actions and that she had moved on from me. I've never felt so figuratively speaking heart broken, love was an uncommon anomaly for me. In fact, I don't believe that I had ever loved anyone but her and now… that is gone forever.

It was hard for me to come back to school and watch her with her friends, to know that she refused to look at me, refused to even acknowledge that I exist. I wish she could see, I wish she could understand why I have to do this, I wish she wouldn't hate me for the decision I had made. So here I sit… with my family as they all scornfully stare at Bella for not allowing me a second chance, for breaking my un-beating heart. Rosalie snarled in her direction as I stared at her with such remorse, Emmet and Jasper tried to be comforting but Alice looked perplexed. I knew she had a vision but she refused to say anything about it, which made me even more curious than before.

I allowed out a long sigh as I finally moved my head back to look back at my family and tried to give them a convincing smile. "Edward just forget her, she's not worth your time." Rosalie seethed; she in the first place never really thought much of Bella. However, I tired to ignore it since Rosalie was known to have negative opinions on most things.

"I was only doing what's best for her."

I said sorrowfully as my hands started to fumble with each other. Alice sympathetically placed her hand on my shoulder and tried to give me a reassuring smile. "If she truly loved you Edward she would have understood. Don't worry things will get better." She smirked, I couldn't help but arch my brow at her, how could she be so confident in my wellbeing when I know that I have vowed to myself that I'm never going to fall in love again, there is to much heartbreak involved and the last thing I need or want is to go down that road once more.

The bell then finally rang, which told all of us that lunch was finally over. I allowed out a long sigh and grabbed my bag then headed off to my American History class not trying to keep in close contact to Bella. It was a little easier for me to stay away from her since we barely had any classes together, but when I'd see her in the halls the scent of her blood was stricken me so deeply. I knew I didn't have to worry about her outing me and my family, that wasn't a concern of mine. However, my main concern was that how long was I really going to be able to deal with this? How long will I be able to deal with the fact that she didn't want me anymore? I just wished I only knew.

As I walked into my bustling class, I took my seat in the back row. The class was being rambunctious talking about what their plans would be for this weekend. Some of the girls looked over at me and smiled, knowing that I was single once again. I knew they wanted me, I could read it in their minds however I didn't want them nor anyone else for quite some time.

They believed that they could mend my broken heart, that they could take my pain away oh how wrong they were, no one could honestly know how cold my heart has grown since I left, since I found out that she wouldn't take me anymore. Mr. Brewery finally walked into the classroom causing everyone to finally quiet down. He gave everyone his sly smile as he started to write out the topic of the day, which was the Civil War.

"Good Afternoon Class! As you can tell what our main topic will be today I suggest that you all open your books to page 312."

Everyone did so, some groaned and some just used their books as pillows, I couldn't help but smirk as I looked over at one who stood their book up so he could hide the comic he was reading, it was all to amusing to see these people honestly believe that they will get away with their mischief… I didn't open my book, there was no reason for it since I practically knew everything about the War, hence I knew of the knowledge there was no point.

The teacher had started to continue speaking about the war, and was immediately interrupted when the door slowly opened. Everyone turned their heads to see who was interrupting our class and that is when she walked in. My jaw dropped for only a minute due to her stunning beauty… she had long dark brown hair, which was thicker than Bella's, she had piercing blue eyes that in a way seemed to glow, she was probably about 5'9 and was of a very average curvy form which wasn't all that much of a problem.

However that isn't was intrigued me about her, she seemed to glide into the room and there was something…. Something that was unusual about her, I couldn't read her mind which was another curiosity of mine but there was something else… something that made her completely unique and it was something I was very well determined to figure out, because in the instant that I saw her I knew she wasn't human. After all I couldn't allow anything harmful into my town, to hurt these innocent people and for all I knew that is exactly what she was up to.

Mr. Brewery smiled over at the girl and nodded at her to walk in, the classroom was completely befuddled since no one knew that there was a new girl coming to their school and it made them even more curious than usual. "Ah Miss. O'Shea welcome to American History." Irish decent now that is even more curious than usual, "Hello." She said softly giving Mr. Brewery a small smile. Mr. Brewery motioned for her to walk in further and finally introduced her to all of us. "Class I'd like to introduce you to our new class member…" He then went and grabbed his sheet and read over her name.

"Seraphim O'Shea."

The class then started to laugh once they heard her name, I only smirked understanding the meaning of her first name. It was a name of the highest rank of angels, which I could completely understand why she was named that way; she looked as if she was an angel. Mr. Brewery immediately hushed the class. "Alright quiet everyone!" He then looked back over at Seraphim. "Now Seraphim…" Seraphim then instantly cuts him off. "Actually could you please call me Sera?" Mr. Brewery smiled at her and slowly nodded his head.

"Of course Sera, now why don't you tell the class where you're from?"

I could tell Sera was a little flustered, she obviously didn't want to give to much of her past away. "I'm from Dublin, Ireland." She said softly, I knew she was of some Irish decent; her accent definitely gave her away. Mr. Brewery then instantly grinned at her. "Ireland really!? Born and Raised I presume?" Sera arched her brow at him, I couldn't help but smirk even more little did she know was that everyone in this town was completely nosey.

"Yes, born and raised."

Mr. Brewery nodded, obviously understanding that she was starting to grow uncomfortable standing there. "Wonderful, well you can have a seat next to Mr. Cullen; you two can share a book until you receive your own." Sera slowly nodded and started to walk down the aisle towards me, I could hear all of the boys' thoughts and what they were imagining about with her, it only made me more furious. I always found it unacceptable to think of women as a piece of meat, and most of all for some reason there was something about her that made me want to keep a close eye on her.

Seraphim slowly sat down next to him and gave me a small smile. "I presume your Mr. Cullen." She said softly to me as she placed her messenger bag down onto the ground, I immediately smirked at her and slowly nodded. "Edward." I then slowly held my hand out to her, her small smile then grew even wider and held her hand out to shake mine.

It caught me off guard at first, I expected her hands to be ice cold like mine, but they were completely warm and inviting. I guess there's much more to her than what I thought, maybe she isn't a vampire after all but why do I keep sensing that she is something, something un-human? "Sera…" I slowly nodded my head and then retracted my hand from hers.

"So… is it customary for everyone to stare at the new girl? Or is this just the welcoming party?"

She asked sarcastically, I couldn't help but allow out a small laugh, she was very amusing. "I should pre-warn you that people in Forks are incredibly nosey." Sera slowly nodded at me. "It would figure, bloody buggers the lot of them." I then instantly started to laugh again. "Yeah well that's what happens when you live in a small town." Sera gave me a large warm smile, a smile that made me even more fascinated by her.

"I suppose I should start getting used to it huh?"

I slowly nodded at her, noticing that her eyes really had a bit of a glow to them; I then slowly looked over at her and nodded at her to move her desk closer to mine. "You may want to move closer, we're about to start." Sera arched her brow at me and allowed out a small smirk as she moved her desk closer to mine.

It seemed that she was ignoring the glares she was receiving as she moved closer to me, either than or she didn't care. I on the other hand was thoroughly aware of the angry glares that were being thrown both our ways. I slowly rolled my eyes as I opened the chapter of my textbook and then looked over at her as she leaned a little closer to look at the pictures and started to laugh.

"It's amazing what war can do to people."

She said softly, I looked over at her curiously. She was definitely not your typical teenage girl, most of them were more interested on their flavor of the week than the actual important things. I was about to ask her why she seemed so interested but was then interrupted by Mr. Brewery. "Now class here is an interesting question. Did Lincoln start the Civil War due to slavery?" One of the boys in our class then rose his hand.

"Well yeah! What other reason was there!?"

The class then started to laugh, and I immediately noticed Seraphim roll her eyes and raised her hand. Mr. Brewery instantly looked over at her and smile. "Ah Miss. O'Shea do you disagree with Mister Hewis?" Seraphim nodded, giving Mr. Brewery serious look.

"Yes… When the Civil War began in April 1861, President Abraham Lincoln had no intention of issuing an emancipation proclamation. Lincoln believed he lacked the constitutional authority to interfere with slavery in any state, even when the government of that state insisted it was no longer a part of the Union."

I instantly smirked over at her, while everyone in the class stared at her wide-eyed; Mr. Brewery chuckled, giving her an approving grin. "I take it you know a lot about the Civil War." Seraphim then shrugged her shoulders, smirking at our teacher.

"No… Just interested in giving out the correct facts. You see On August 30, General John C. Fremont, commander of Union forces in Missouri, issued a proclamation . . . freeing the slaves of all citizens who actively supported the rebellion. Unionists in Kentucky reacted vehemently to Fremont's proclamation. . . . Upon learning, that Fremont had freed slaves in Missouri, an entire company of Union volunteers in Kentucky reportedly threw down their guns and deserted. Lincoln acted quickly to defuse the crisis. On September 2, he sent a message asking Fremont to modify his proclamation. . . Which makes it even more amusing since Fremont sent his wife to argue with the president. Like they always say leave the lasses to do the men's job because the last thing a man wants to hear is a nagging wife."

I couldn't help but start laughing at her comment, the class and Mr. Brewery looked bewildered by her knowledge but I was the least surprised… if my theories were correct she has probably lived long enough to encounter this war and know everything about it. "That is… Surprisingly correct Miss. O'Shea…" the bell then immediately rang, causing all of us to rise up from our seats. Seraphim immediately grabbed her messenger bag and then looked back over at me as I slung my backpack.

"Thanks for sharing the book; it was really nice to meet you Edward."

She smiled over my way and started to walk off; I immediately followed ran after her, there was no way she was going to get away with me not knowing what she was. "So! Seraphim that's an interesting name was there a reason why your parents named you that?" I asked her giving her my most curious look, Seraphim slowly turned to look back at me and arched her brow.

"You think my first name is funny you should hear my middle."

She smirked and then started to walk away I immediately followed her, just realizing that we both were now walking towards the same direction to my next class which was health. "Well what's your middle?" Seraphim started to laugh and gently shake her head.

"Ya know mate one may consider you following me as stalking."

She smirked; I couldn't help but smirk at her. "Yet you don't seem worried about my stalking care to say why?" Seraphim then shrugged her shoulders. "I suppose it's because if you were any threat I would've been warned about you by now." I slowly smiled at her; she had no clue how dangerous I really was.

"So what is your middle name?"

Seraphim then immediately started to laugh and gently shake her head. "Oh no you don't mate, yer not getting my middle name that easily." I instantly frowned, giving her my best pouting face as we both started walking towards my destined room.

I immediately grinned when I saw her heading to the same room. "What's your next class?" I asked immediately, Seraphim softly smiled over at me and then pulled out her schedule from her pocket and started to look over it.

"My next class is Health yers?"

I automatically smirked as well. "I have health too." Seraphim smirked at me and then started to walk towards the classroom. "Huh quit a coincidence huh?" I instantly grinned, and followed her into the class, I automatically forgot that Bella was in this class and the fact that I was following this woman probably made it look more perplexing.

Seraphim was automatically assigned to sit behind Bella while my seat right next to her right, things were growing incredibly tense since Bella was right there, my heart was ripping into shreds as I stared at her, completely forgetting Seraphim was even there. Bella slowly looked over at me and frowned, I wish I could tell her that I still loved her but I knew that it was pointless.

There was no use to the fact that she no longer loved me, I was a forbidden memory in her eyes and maybe I always will be. Seraphim slowly looked back over at me and gave me a small smile. "So Edward are you from Forks or did you move here as well?" I immediately broke my stare with Bella and then looked back at Seraphim who was looking at me curiously. "I um… me and my family moved here two years ago." Seraphim slowly nodded and gave me a sympathetic smile.

"That must've been hard yeah?"

I slowly shrugged my shoulders, I figured if Bella was capable of moving on with me, I can prove to her that I wasn't still caught up on her. "It would've been if my family wasn't with me." Seraphim slowly nodded and smirked. "So where exactly are you from?" I then shrugged my shoulders. "Chicago." Seraphim then instantly grinned at me. "I always wanted to go to Chicago, donno if they'll ever happen though." I then arched my brow at her.

"Why's that?"

I asked curiously, Seraphim sighed as she pulled out her notebook and pencil. "My… Father moves us around a lot hence the reason why I'm a new student here. I guarantee you we won't stay too long here." I instantly frowned, I needed to find out more about her, why I constantly had this irking feeling that she was hiding a huge secret, I sensed her as a vampire but at the same time, I didn't… It was completely confusing.

"What does your father do?"

Seraphim then shrugged giving me a shy smile. "You'd think it silly, bugger I think it silly but it puts food on our plates so I cannot complain. My brother on the other hand gets irritated immensely by it." I think immediately arched my brow.

"You're brother?"

Seraphim slowly nodded at me and shrugged. "Yeah… he can be quite the bugger but he's a good person. I think he's just tired of trying to adjust, I think I'm tired of trying to adjust too." I noticed that Bella then immediately turned around to face her and gave Seraphim a somewhat annoyed look. "Are you the girl everyone in this school is swarming around about?" Seraphim then slowly shrugged, giving her a sheepish smile. "I suppose so… unless there's another new lass floating about the streams." Seraphim then held her hand out to shake Bella's.

"I'm Sera."

Bella stared at her hand for a moment but refused to shake hers. "Bella." Seraphim smiled at her and then slowly moved her hand back on top of her notebook. "Pretty name, much better then mine. I still donno what my mum was thinkin when she came up with that crazy bit of a name." Bella slowly arched her brow at Seraphim; it was obvious that she was extremely curious about her as well.

"Is Sera short for something?" Seraphim sighed and slowly nodded. "Yeah… It's short for Seraphim. But it's like I told this git over here if you think my first name is funny then you should hear my middle."

I automatically smirked at her; it amazed me how preoccupied she kept me from thinking of my heartbreak with the woman that was mere inches away from me. "I still am going to find out." Seraphim scoffed and roll her eyes. "Yeah we'll see about that mate." Class then immediately started and my attention was completely on the two women who were sitting beside me.

Bella tried her hardest to ignore me, however Seraphim was busily drawing these odd sorts of designs in her notebook as the teacher continued on with the lecture. It was interesting, her drawings looked awfully familiar but I could not place my finger on it.

Once class was, finally finished Bella immediately rushed out of her seat while Seraphim took her time, closed her notebook, and placed it in her bag. She then smiled over at me and tilted her head to the side.

"Old girlfriend?"

She asked analytically, I automatically gaped at her. She was extremely observant either that or extremely curious. "Does it matter? Whether she was or not?" Seraphim then arched her brow at me as she started to walk out of the classroom.

"Well by the way you were gazing at her most of our time in class she's either an ex that you want to get back together with or she's one of the lasses you long from afar."

I immediately arched my brow at her as me and she started to walk out of the room. "You were watching me?" Seraphim then started to laugh.

"More like peripheral vision of the sort. Noticed you kept looking our way and I figured it didn't have anything to do with me but with the lass that was in front of me, very simple analyzation of the sorts."

I automatically smirked at her as I slung my backpack against my shoulder, school was finally finished for the day and it was time for me to meet up with my family and try to find out more about Seraphim O'Shea.

Seraphim and me ended up walking to our lockers to pick up our books, I noticed her pull on what looked like a motorcycle jacket and a pair of shades as she slung over her bag and started to walk up towards me. "Well Edward it really was a pleasure to meet you. I suppose I'll see you tomorrow then?" I automatically smiled at her, she did look intriguing in that leather motorcycle jacket and her black shades resting on the crown of her head.

"Yeah I guess you will, Do you happen to need a ride?"

Seraphim then started laugh and gently shake her head. "Nah luv, no need for that I have me own ride waiting for me outside." I arched my brow at her as we both started to walk towards the doors. "Really and what kind of tank is it?" Seraphim then started to laugh. "Not a tank, more like a motorbike." I automatically stopped my steps as I looked at her curiously. "You have a motorcycle?" Seraphim nodded at me, she was obviously amused by my sudden brashness.

"Yeah it's actually that Black V-Rod Muscle over there next to the silver Volvo."

I couldn't help but laugh as I saw my brothers looking over at her motorcycle, I had to admit it was a really nice model and she must've had plenty of strength to be able to balance that bike with her small form. We both slowly walked up to towards our vehicles, Seraphim then arched her brow at me curiously. "Are you stalking me again?" She asked me with a small smile on her lips, I smirked over at her shook my head.

"No your bike is right next to my car."

Seraphim looked over at the direction where our vehicles were and then looked back at me completely impressed. "Nice." We were both now getting closer when Seraphim noticed how my brothers were still curiously examining her bike. "Hey mates I take it you like the ride eh?" Jasper and Emmett immediately looked up at her curiously, while she had a large grin on her lips.

Alice looked at her excitedly, which made me curious as to why she was so excited and Rosalie just looked at her irritably. "So you're the new girl." Emmett smirked as he looked over at Edward.

"Yeah that would be me but instead of new girl you can call me Sera or Seraphim if you have such a deep desire so."

Alice was the first to introduce herself. "Hi! I'm Alice and this is Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie." Seraphim smiled at all of them and gently waved at them. "Pleasure to meet you all." Everyone said their hello's but I knew they could sense something in her just like I can. I was about to ask her question until her cell phone then immediately went off. "Bugger sorry." She said quickly as she pulled out her phone and answered it.

"Hello? Oh hey Ash! Yeah… Yeah… I just got out I'll be there soon. Oh come on Ash! You know damn well that I'll get there on time. Yeah uh huh right alright luv see you in a bit bye."

I watched her shut her phone and looked back up at me and my family apologetically.

"Sorry to cut the greetings short luv but my brother needs a ride and since our dad has the car I'm kinda his only ride. So… it was really a pleasure to meet you all and I suppose I'll see you all tomorrow."

She then quickly looked over at me and gave me a warm smile. "Thanks for sharing yer book with me Edward I really appreciated it." I slowly shrugged my shoulders as I placed them in my pocket.

"It's nothing."

Seraphim grinned at me as she pulled out her key from her bag and then straddled her bike. "In any case thank you." She the immediately started her bike and gave us all one final wave and sped off out onto the main road. We all watched her leave and when she was finally out of sight, we all immediately looked back at each other.

"Was it just me or is there something peculiar about her?"

Emmett asked, Rosalie then scoffed at him. "Other than the fact that she's trying to hide that she's a vampire?" My eyebrows then immediately shot up and quickly looked over at her. "You can sense it too?" Rosalie then slowly nodded at me. "It's obvious, she's either trying to hide it or she's something else. Regardless she's not human." I immediately looked over at Alice who was surprisingly quiet. "You seemed to be very cheery when you met her. Why's that?" Alice then shrugged.

"Can't I be nice?"

We all then looked over at her and arched our brows knowing full well and good that she knew something we didn't. Alice sighed in defeat and then glared at all of us. "Alright fine! I had a vision of her coming here, I don't know what she is but I do know that she's not mortal or fully mortal for case… I think she's here to help someone, I'm just not necessarily sure who.

At first I thought she's here for Edward because I've seen you two in my vision but Seraphim seems to have a bit of a past to her as well." Jasper sighed as he looked over at me.

"She seems… Happy. Torn but Happy it's an odd combination."

Emmett then looked over at me curiously. "Were you capable of reading her mind?" I then gently shook my head even more frustrated that what they were. "No… That's what so odd about it. It was the same thing with Bella." Rosalie then groaned out of frustration.

"Oh please don't bring her up Edward, I hate seeing you so completely hurt because of her. Seraphim I don't think is going to be a threat to us, if anything she's probably curious as to why she senses us as well and is keeping her limits just like we should with her until we find out further more."

I allowed out a long sigh knowing that she was right, we did have to keep our guard up because for all we knew Seraphim could be our enemy, but also for all we knew she could be our most greatest alliance of them all.

Well here's the first Chapter. I hope that you all have enjoyed it.

Please send me your reviews I love to hear what you all would have to say and they really do motivate me to continue writing this story.
