Chapter 1

When Bella moved to Forks she expected everything to be awkward and of course she was mostly right. Her and her dad Charlie had never been on entirely good terms though she knew he loved her. She had entered into Fork's small high school in March, the middle of term, of course she would be the center of attention, the only new kid in a while. The first thing she noticed when she went to school was that there was someone, a strange girl, sleeping on the picnic bench in front of the school. Bella stood watching her for a moment, and then the bell rang. For a moment Bella thought she wouldn't wake up to go to school, but to her surprise a large white dog jumped up from behind the picnic bench and barked in her ear. She jumped up in surprise and rolled off of the picnic bench. Seconds later the girl hopped up, smacked the dog playfully on the ear and then ran off to school. Bella thought this interchange was hilarious, and wondered if it was a daily occurrence.

School had been full of awkward moments, though she had managed to make a few friends. Mike, Jessica, the strange girl from the picnic bench whose name was Raven, and then her one enemy Edward Cullen. He had acted strangely the second she had walked into the biology room covering his mouth and nose with his hand. Raven was sitting behind him, she pelted him with an eraser. He tuned to look at her with his strange black eyes, trying to ignore Bella who was now sitting beside him. He passed the girl a note, his hand writing scrawled and loopy and Bella couldn't help but feel a little upset. She watched her read the note, her slender black eyebrow raised up in speculation. She glanced back to Bella with an amused expression, a slightly airy giggle escaped her lips. Bella saw Edwards glare as he stared back at Raven.

"No." Was all she said to him before she returned to her writing. After that class Edward bolted out of his seat and rushed away. Beside her Raven suddenly appeared.

"I suppose everyone's told you my name right?" Raven asked.

"Uh, yeah you're Raven." Bella replied, Raven smiled at her.

"And you are The Bella Swan. We've all heard so much about you. So what has the school told you about me?" Raven asked once again.

"They think you killed your parents took their riches and moved out here." Bella answered sheepishly. To her surprise Raven put her head back and howled with laughter.

"Oh that is good!" Raven cried, whipping a tear from her eye. "If you'd like to know, My parents died and left all their money to me, I was four at the time so I doubt I murdered them. Either way I decided I wanted to live here, I think because my dad used to love coming fishing here."

Bella smiled at her. She looked like she was going to be one of her better friends. After school that day, she saw that Raven was rollerblading back to her house her dog attached to her, dragging her a long. Bella waved at her from her truck and was shocked when the Cullen's car swerved closer to the rollerblading Raven, who wasn't fazed at all, before speeding off into the forest. Bella found this behavior odd, but decided to that maybe this was just an off day for the two of them.

**

The next day went almost exactly the same Raven was asleep on the picnic bench, the dog woke her up, but one crucial difference Edward wasn't there, and he wasn't there the next day or the day after or the day after that. The one day he did return, Raven wasn't in school, she had been coughing the day before and sleeping in her classes, and it didn't matter what Bella did to try to wake her up she was just too tired to stay awake. Bella was a little worried about Edward's sudden return, and Raven's sudden disappearance. She nervously took her seat beside Edward who looked equally as nervous.

"Hello." He finally spit out.

"Hello." Bella echoed. She wished Raven were here, she was an Edward expert. Apparently they dated a really long time ago for a very brief time. They didn't get along very well anymore, you would say that they were a lot like arch nemeses.

"I didn't get to introduce myself the first day, I'm Edward Cullen, you're Bella right?" He asked. Bella nodded, wondering what had changed his mind. Raven said he had mood swings sometimes, but Bella didn't hold much credit to that, though she did now.

"You were gone for a long time." Bella replied instead. Edward looked away.

"We were doing some family stuff."

"Hiking right?"

"Who told you that?" Edward asked.

"Raven." Bella responded. Edward's eyes bulged and he looked furious.

"You're friends with her?" He asked.

"Yes, she's been awful nice to me." Bella justified, she knew they didn't like each other but this was a little strange.

"She's dangerous, you shouldn't trust her."

"That's what she says about you."

"And she's right."

"You don't look dangerous, and neither does she." Bella interjected. Edward scowled.

"You don't understand." Edward whispered. He disappeared after class again, leaving Bella alone to pick up Raven's homework.

**

It had been icy that day, Charlie had been nice enough to put chains on her trucks tires, so she wouldn't slip. Bella noticed Edward across the lot staring at her, she shifted uncomfortably and turned back to her truck. There was a squealing behind her, when she turned she saw Mike's car swerving out of control, heading right for her. In a frightening few seconds, she thought the car would squash her, when all of a sudden Edward was beside her, his hand stretched out and pushed the car away, denting the side of the door. Bella looked up into his now golden eyes, in wonder, and then he left as quick as he had come, just as the crowd surrounded her.

They took her to the hospital even though she said she was ok. Her dad came in all worried and flustered even though there wasn't a scratch on her. When her dad came in so did her doctor, Doctor Carlisle Cullen, Bella stared at him, he had the same pale coloring as Edward and didn't look to be more than twenty five years old.

"There's no head trauma, nothing but a tiny bump, she should be alright."

"Yes, if it wasn't for Edward I would have been squashed, he pushed me out of the way." Bella stated, but Doctor Cullen didn't look the least bit pleased with her comment, not even proud at his foster son's good deed. The family was beyond weird. Dr. Cullen deemed her good to go, and Charlie suddenly started to hover.

"You should call your mom." He whispered. He was going to drive her home now.

"You told her what happened? That's great now she's going to freak out." Bella snarled, her mom worried too much, this would just give her another excuse to worry.

"Why is your bag so heavy?"

"Oh, I have Raven's homework, I volunteered to give it to her, she was out sick today." Bella replied, remembering she'd have to do that tonight. Charlie stared at her,

"I don't want you doing that now." Charlie growled.

"But if I don't she won't be able to do her homework, besides she's expecting me." Bella argued. Charlie sighed, obviously resigning to the fact that Bella would be going to Ravens that night.

Bella knocked on the door to the small cottage. Raven lived out in the woods, on the lake. In a part of the forest that no one ever went to. She waited for an answer but no one answered. She was going to wait until she counted to ten before she went home, but before she got to five she heard a series of loud bags, a loud animalistic screech and a whole lot of growling. Bella was more than a little frightened but she decided if Raven needed her help she was going to help. Bella tried turning the doorknob and found it unlocked. She entered slowly clutching the pepper spray her father had given her when she first got to Forks. She walked into the dark corridor, she could see a flight of stairs leading up into more darkness, to her left she could see the kitchen and to the right an even darker room in which soft voices could be heard. Bella took a deep breath and took a few steps into the dark room. In the darkness she could see two pairs of glowing eyes, a pair of golden brown and a pair of light blue really close together. The golden brown eyes were watching the blue where as the blue was watching her. Bella blinked a few times getting used the darkness and when she did she could clearly make out an intense looking Edward had pinned Raven to the couch. His lips were dangerously close to hers, her hands pinned above her head, Raven was watching Bella with an all knowing smile.

"Take it back." Edward snarled.

"Hello Bella." Raven murmured.

"I'm not falling for that again." Edward snarled, his teeth nipping at her neck.

"I'm sorry I didn't know." Bella chocked out, amazed at what she had walked in on. She turned to run away, but somehow Edward beat her to the door.

"It's not what it looks like." Edward cried out. Raven came up behind her.

"Of course, it was completely unconsensual." Raven called out.

"Shut up!" Edward near screamed. Bella cringed and backed away closer to Raven. She tore her eyes away from Edward and turned back to Raven and slung her back off of her shoulder and handed her the books and notes.

"I brought your homework." She whispered, her cheeks were flushed.

"Why thank you." Raven whispered. Throwing the books into the darkness, Bella glanced between the glaring Edward and Raven's smug and cocky stare.

"I'm sorry I interrupted, have a nice night." Bella cried pushing past Edward and rushing to her truck, she managed to hear a very exasperated Raven snarl,

"Well go after her!" And then Edward was beside her saying he was sorry, and asking if he could see her home. Bella stared at Raven who was leaning on her door frame, beside her was the white dog of hers and in her arms a Siamese cat, she had that all knowing smile on her face again, Bella turned to Edward who was smiling as if she were the only one in the world. What was going on?

**

Raven watched them leave with a smile on her face, beside her the dog whined.

"I'm fine honest I am Nick. He didn't get a scratch on me, I let him pin me." Raven replied offhandedly. The Siamese jumped out of her arms, meowing up at her.

"I know I need to rejuvenate, I heard you the first ten times." Raven snarled. The cat turned back to the retreating truck and began to purr.

"I know interesting right? Come on Jann, Nick, let's go get something to eat." Raven called out snapping her fingers, the dog and cat followed her back into the house.
