They say the eyes are the gateway to the soul, they hold 1000 secrets. Well Bella's eyes are the gateway to something much more dangerous. Kind of like the Cullens. So when they meet will sparks fly, or dagger?

It was just another boring Monday, surrounded by normal high school teens, oblivious to the danger that walked amongst them. Unaware of the strain we went through to resist flat out attacking them and killing them in the middle of this hall.
With a slight shake of the head I sent the monster in me back to its place, hidden somewhere deep inside of me.
There was a lot of buzz going around about a new girl. Everyone was either thinking about her or talking about her. Her name was Isabella, but she went by Bella, and she was beautiful. Apparently so beautiful that she reminded everyone of us, they wondered if we knew her. From every guy's thoughts she was beautiful in an impossible way, in some girl's thoughts she was ugly, and in others she was just plain average. I never heard any new thoughts, and I definitely haven't seen a new girl.
By lunch time the buzz was at new heights. I saw with my family, at our table, in our corner, like every other day. We picked at our food, breaking it into tiny pieces so it looked like we ate even though we never raised a morsel of food to our mouths.
The cafeteria was loud, maybe louder than usual. Everyone was glancing at the door every few seconds, as if they were waiting for disaster to strike, or waiting for snow. But they were waiting for Isabella.
She never showed.
Alice chatted tome excitedly as we headed to our next class. She wanted to go on yet another shopping spree and just ran on and on about a new store opening up in Seattle. She was singing Brittney Spears in her head, loudly. I wondered if she was hiding something or if she genuinely didn't realize that that was what she was thinking, that seemed to happen a lot.
We separated at the third hallway, where my class was, and she headed to the 6th hallway. Even the class was louder than usual. The late bell rand but Mr. Martin couldn't get the class to quiet down. Then, all of a sudden, a deadly hush followed a few gasps.
"Sorry to be late, I was a little lost" The voice was that of 100 angels singing in perfect harmony.
I looked up. That was her, Bella, and she was inhumanly beautiful. She stood tall for a girl, maybe an inch or two shorter than me. Her hair fell down her heart shaped face in perfect waves. Her eyes were deep brown and endless. She has a button nose and perfectly red lips, obviously natural, and not colored with lipstick. Her eyes were alight with some unknown emotion and her skin practically glowed. She wore a t-shirt, a leather jacket, a pair of black skinny jeans, and a pair of white Nikes.
"You must be Ms. Isabella Swan, you can have a seat next to Mr. Cullen" Mr. Martin said in a tight voice.
"It's just Bella" Bella said, smiling and showing a pair of unnaturally white teeth, not unlike my own.
I inhaled sharply and regretted it instantly. The scent that hit me was enough to make me want to kill everyone in this room, just to have a drop of that blood. I gripped the bottom of the table, hard wood splintered around my hands. Bella blinked at me, the only one who seemed to notice something wrong.
She walked to her seat with the grace of a vampire, if I didn't smell the blood running through her veins I would begin to question her species. The drumming of her heart was like music, very slow music, almost a lullaby. It was unnatural.
She sat down slowly. After a few seconds Mr. Martin caught the attention of his students and began his lesson. I remained stiff in my seat, watching her. I have never had my self-control tested like this, it was like she was sent to me directly from hell. Her sole purpose was to tear the monster from me, to make me devour her. I knew my eyes were pitch black with thirst.
I watched her nose flare, she took a long slow and deep smell of the air; the sight was completely animalistic. Her entire body straightened up, stiff, and out of the corner of her eyes she locked with me. Her fists clenched and slowly but surely her eyes became lighter and lighter until they were no longer brown, but grey. Slowly her tongue darted from her mouth to wet her dry lips, almost nervously. The sight was like electricity through my body.
After a few seconds I realized she was breathing very shallowly, there was no way that air was actually reaching her lungs.
I was out of the classroom before the bell finished ringing, dangerously faster than a human.
After a few seconds of fresh air, I was back in control of my thirst. I headed to the gym. Naturally she was in that class too, as well as the rest of my family. Hell was on a hunt, for me.
So for the people who read this story when I first published it, you must see the difference already. There is going to be a MAJOR difference, because this was how the story was supposed to be. However, there will be a few things that are the same. I hope everyone enjoyed the first installment of this story, leave me a review for a faster update since there are already a few chapters of this story written out.
