My name is Isabella Swan, but I like to be called Bella. I live in Forks, Washington. It's a small town where much of nothing happens. I live with my dad who happens to be the chief Police. I don't find it embarrassing, and I don't hate it. Until recently I lived with my mom in Phoenix, Arizona. I decided to come to Forks after a series of unfortunate events occurred.

I used to be normal.

I used to be another teen. Not sporty, or tan. Not popular in anything. I was always an albino. Too white for the white race, if I do say so myself. My friends used to joke with me saying I could glow in the dark if I really tried. I was normally dull.

Then someone bad ran into me. He claimed he could smell me from one hundred miles away. I don't remember much of him now, but I do know one thing.

He killed me. The human me.

And now I am a creature I thought never existed. A vampire.

My mother never noticed the change. I was reported kidnaped, and raped. So she didn't find it odd that I wanted nothing more than to stay locked up in my room and away from the sun, or other people. I have to admit it was hard to stay indoors, but I learned it was better to stay away from the sun. It doesn't pain me to be out there, it's the dazzling that pains others...

No, I don't feed off of humans. That's a rule I put on myself. I don't want to cause people pain. My diet consists of animals. And the whole reason I moved to Forks was for the near by parks inhabited by bears and animals of the sort.

So here I am in the rainy town of Forks. Tomorrow is the first day of school, and I am glad to say that I am good to go three weeks without feeding.

My first day of school went quite well. I went to the front of the office and received a slip. I had to get all my teachers to sign it.

First period I had English. It was really cool because I am a fan of writing. I love to write. I have no problem with the subject. The teacher didn't even bother to have me introduce myself. I did get stared at a lot by numerous boys, and some girls I am sure gave a slap at their ego. I feel bad when I am stared at like they were. Being a vampire gives me a beauty to die for.

A shy looking boy sitting next to me spoke.

"You must be Isabella." He gave me a smile I could only put as cheesy.

"Bella." I corrected.

"I'm Eric." He stuck his hand out and I gently took it and gave it a short shake. Before the conversation could go on, though, the teacher looked over to us and gave us a glare that only said 'be quiet and pay attention.' So we stayed the rest of the period silent.

My second period went a little bad. As I went to go give my teacher the slip he did have me introduce myself. It was odd to have all those faces stare at me. I wasn't used to this much attention at home, let alone now that I was gorgeous. Not to mention it was in the subject I hate the most which is math. Me and math don't hang anymore...or never did. After I quickly introduced my self, I went to go have a seat at the very back of the class. Hopefully I wouldn't draw too much attention to my self way back there.

It was still kinda hard not to though. To these people I might have just been a treasure. The boys were looking at me like I was some sort of expensive looking car, while the girls were glaring at me like some sort of super model who was taking away all the boys attention. I had to smile a little bit to myself. Although I hate the spotlight, I have to say that being glared at by so many jealous girls was a new and awesome experience. I usually was the one to glare at the pretty girls back home. So the change was nice for a bit.

Third period was the one I had the worst trouble in.

As soon as I walked into the door a smell hit me. It was sweet and it was calling to me, like cat nip to a cat. Or steak to a dog. It was too strong for me to not notice, too strong for me to stay still. It was the delicious sent of some body in the room.

I spotted him, And tried to avoid him. I walked to the front of the class and handed the teacher my slip. He asked me to take the seat next to him. I was reluctant to. It was too much of a torture, he was a succulent human just asking me to drain him of his life. But I did as I was told. I sat next to him and immediately regretted not walking out of the class room when I had the chance.

I couldn't look at him, I tried not to look at him. I closed my hands into fists just to avoid the temptation of luring him out of the class room and finish him off. Never in my life as a vampire had I face the temptation of a human like this. It was horrible.

I looked at him. He was rather tall and well cut. He had bronze hair that covered his ears a bit. His eyes were hazel colored, and his skin was almost as pale as mine. He wasn't bad looking at all. He caught me looking at him and I quickly had to look away. I griped the table and my knuckles turned white from the death grip I had. I decided to scoot my chair away from him as far as it would go. But I failed. His smell was beaconing me to him.

I had a thought. I could just take him and lure him to the forest near by. Drain him and maybe the wolfs would find him and eat the rest of him.

No. I have to stick to my diet. NO HUMANS! Never. No person deserves the same pain as I went through. Gosh, why did he have to smell so tempting. Curse the human.

After the bell rang, I couldn't stay in school anymore. The bad thing was that it was my first day. So I went to lunch. I was approached by the boy in my first period class, and was asked to sit at his table. I accepted the invite, he introduced me to all his friends, which I couldn't remember their names. Then I could smell him. I turned to the direction my nose led me and I found him. He was sitting with some other group of kids. I hadn't noticed before but they were all dressed in designer clothes, and they were the only group in the cafeteria that was not surrounded by other kids. They were isolated. They spoke amongst themselves, laughing having a good time. They ate their food, just like normal kids.

There were too girls and three boys.

The first of the girls was rather small. She had a pixy like figure, short spiky hair. She was beautiful. But the girl next to her was even more beautiful.

She had long blonde hair, the body of a goddess and a face of an angel. I cant say she was more gorgeous than me, but for a human she was amazingly beautiful.

The oldest looking boy had brown hair. He was well built, like if he played foot ball or wrestled. The boy next to him was blonde also well built, but the other easily towered over him.

And then he was just sitting there. He had a look of confusion on his face, like if something was bothering him. At first he was laughing with the rest of the group, enjoying himself. Then all of a sudden he stopped and looked down at his food. He pushed his tray away and frowned.

At this point I wish I could read his mind. Maybe then I could figure out why I was so tempted to just kill him. But I knew it was just wishful thinking. I had heard stories that when some one was turned into a vampire that they would bring with them a special gift from their human life to the after life, but I was never good at anything. I was a normally dull vampire. Like I was a normally dull human once.

"Bella...Bella.."

"What?...sorry..." I blushed. I was caught red handed staring at my cat nip.

It was the girl next to me whom I hadn't even bothered to remember her name.

"Don't bother. They are all dating each other. The blonde boy is Jasper he is dating Alice. The short black haired girl. And Emmet, the brown haired boy is dating Rosalie, the blonde girl. The only single one is Edward. But he won't date anybody."

It accrued to me that she had already tried to talk to him and he rejected her, so she was probably giving me a heads up. Little did she know I could have no problem with that. But then, maybe I shouldn't affiliate myself with him. He was after all a torture to my blood lust.

"...and they all live with each other. Can you believe that?"

"What?"

"Duh, Bella, I said that Dr. Cullen adopted them all."

Ok. That's nice. I went back to looking at them. I have to admit I was fascinated by their existence. Especially his, Edwards.

Now all I had to do was figure out what to do with him.

I didn't go straight home after school, like I probably should have. Instead I went to go feed, so much for lasting three weeks without it. Stupid Edward and his stupid smell.

I got home just before Charlie did, and it was pretty late. I went straight to my room before he walked into the house. I pretended I was asleep when he went to go check up on me. When I was first converted I found out that I couldn't sleep. It was impossible for me to do so. I don't mind not sleeping, but I can say that I miss it a bit, the dreaming part anyways.

The next day I decided to skip school. I wasn't sure if I was ready to be in the same room as he, to be honest I was afraid of what I would do to him if I lost it. I didn't want to do something regretful, so I skipped just to avoid that. I spent the day out in the forest in my back yard though, just walking around...or running. It was nice to feel the fresh damp air in my face as I ran around in circles, or at least what I thought were circles.

By the time it was time to head back home "after school" I wasn't sure of where exactly I was. I heard a river near by and figured I was no where near home. Then I caught his sent, it caught me off guard because I was running and I turned my head in the general direction he was at and I didn't see what was in front of me and so I hit a branch. I was so glad no one could see me where I was, that would have been embarrassing. So I followed his sent, and it led me to an amazing looking house. It was hidden, no one would have thought a house would be out here. It captured my curiosity. It had on old fashioned feeling to it, but the paint was new.

I followed his sent to the back of the house, making sure I was spotted by no one. And I saw him through the enormous window that was his wall as well. I stood back and hid behind a branch and watched him. He turned on his radio and then laid on his couch, he had no bed in there. His room was nothing but shelf after shelf of cd's and books. I found it interesting.

As I was watching him I found another sent, one that I guess I never realized because I was so intrigued by his. It was familiar, too familiar. And it was behind me.

I slowly turned and was caught red handed by the short haired beauty that was Alice Cullen.

"What are you doing?" she asked, I was speechless. She looked past me and saw her brother in his room, she raised her brows. "Are you stalking my brother?"

Oh, gosh why did I have to listen to my nose.

"No!" I said too soon, I startled myself.

"Who are you? I know you're a vampire, but you're not hostel..." she looked me right in the eyes, as if she knew I was 'vegetarian.' I had never seen another vampire before, and I could now tell she was one as well, no wonder I recognized her smell. Her eyes were the same topaz color as mine.

"I'm not stalking him," I assured her. "My nose made a mistake and I followed it here..." it was too late when I realized what I had said. I wanted to run away but her stare pinned me down. "I mean...Hi, my name is Bella."

She raised her brows at me again and for an instant I was unable to move, she wasn't moving either. We were like porcelain dolls.

"I think you need to talk to my father." she finally said.

"No I don't." I started to leave and I soon realized that the rest of her siblings were surrounding me. The two boys and the blonde beauty. Edward was still in his room, his smell ever so strong to my sensitive nose.

"Follow us," the blonde girl said. I couldn't understand why I didn't notice them before. Maybe I was too preoccupied by Edwards scent. Or the fact that they acted human around him.

I was lead into the house through the back door that led to the kitchen a woman was there cooking. She looked up at me with curiosity. "Stay here, he's on his way." she then continued her work. I could smell her and knew she was also vampire, and I came to the conclusion that Edward lived in a house full of vampires. Probably hungry vampires. I was considering running to his room and kidnaping him to free him of a horrible fate. When a man with blonde short hair, also vampire, walked into the kitchen.

"Well, isn't this surprising?" he said with a smile that only worked to confuse me.

"I caught her stalking Edward," Alice said quickly. I looked down at my feet too embarrassed to look at her father.

"Were you now?" he was looking at me, I could feel it. "Well?"

"I didn't mean to." I said, "I was running around when I picked up his scent and followed it here. I wasn't going to attack him, I swear. I was just curious, is all." I looked to him and then to the woman I figured was his wife.

"Calm down," he said. "Lets introduce ourselves first. Im Carlisle Cullen, Esme Cullen is my wife, then it's Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Emmet. And you are?"

"Bella Swan." I sighed. How did I get myself into this? Curse my animal instincts.

"You don't hunt humans." it wasn't a question it was statement he knew.

"No, I don't." I said, "Do, you?"

They all broke out laughing at me, I was just confused.

"No," he said. "We are vegetarian, like yourself."

Could I trust them? Was he telling me the truth? I wasn't sure what to think.

"And Edward?" I asked not sure of what I was asking.

"He will die soon," he said. Everyone looked away just then.

"Oh," I heard myself say. "How soon?" I asked. I don't remember me being this interested in him but something other than his scent started to pull on me.

"Not sure yet, but he won't live for long. And after wards he'll come back." What? What did he mean by that?

"You are going to turn him? Why?" I demanded, "You can't just do that it's torture and painful."

"It's his choice." he interrupted, "we are giving it to him, it's what he wants."

"How can he want something like this?" it was a rhetorical question. I didn't want the answer. I paused to look outside behind me and the sun was setting behind the clouds. "I have to go, Charlie will be home soon." I walked to the back door and looked at them all. "Nice to meet you all." I said before I disappeared into the setting sun.

Back at home, I thought to myself and made a choice. I have to ignore him. Edward, I'll ignore his scent and his existence. I have to keep him safe from me. Anything could make me snap and that's a danger to him. I have to learn to watch myself around him.

The next day at school things went a little more smoothly.

Except again in biology. I sat again as far away from him as I could, I even held my breath the whole time I was in there. His scent is so much stronger when he's right next to me. I caught him looking at me with interest. He even smiled. As soon as the bell rang I gathered my things and was the first person out of the door. I made my way to the cafeteria and I ran into Alice on my way there. She beamed at me.

"Did he tell you anything?" she asked. Was he supposed to?

"No, was he going to?" I tried to walk faster but still look human. She kept up with me.

"He knows he is your weakness." Well that's nice to know. He can use himself against me at his own will. I groaned.

"That just gives me more of a reason to avoid him." I walked into the cafeteria and took my seat in the group with Eric.

"Don't you ever eat Bella?" the girl next to me asked. What was her name? Jessica?

"I don't like school food." I lied. As the group carried on their conversations I pretended to be listening, but in reality I was listening in on the Cullen's conversation, which I am surprised to say was quite normal. Then I heard my name. I turned to look at them and Rosalie was looking at me, a smug smile on her face. Edward was looking at me too. It seemed to me that they were planing to torment me, because as soon as they realized I was looking over at them they went quiet. Allice smiled at me and waved.

"Bella, omigosh she's waving at you." Jessica said behind me. I turned to look at her.

"She wants to torment me." I said, mean while I was cursing Edward. I turned to look at his table again and saw that they went back to their chatting. I glared at the back of his head.

After lunch I went to my last period which was PE. Sence becoming a vampire I must say that I have gooten better at sports than what I was when I was human. Again I had Eric in my class, at least it was nice to know some one in there. Half way into the class Rosalie walked into the gym making everyone stop what they were doing to look at her. She told coach Clap something, then he called me over.

"You're going home early Swan. Have a nice day." What? I don't want to go home, but I had the feeling I wasn't going home. The whole way out of the gym Rosalie didn't even look at me, let alone speak. She stayed quiet untill we met up with Allice.

"So what now?" she asked Allice. Allice just smiled widely.

"Well, now we can wait for Emmet Jazz and Edward to come out." she looked at me as she said Edwards name.

What! Edward, why him? I had to get away from there, now! I looked over at Rosalie, who just gave me another smug smile. Then I looked at Allice who was also smiling although not as smugly. I wandered how fast they could run, and if they could cach me. I decided to test thier speed and ran off.

Little did I know, had I made a big mistake. It didn't take them long to reach me, heck it took seconds! I was half ways into the forest when Allice tackled me down onto the floor.

"What the heck!" I yelled.
"Don't run away, Bella, we are just as fast." Rosalie said. Allice giggled on top of me.
"What do you want from me?" I demanded, "I'm avoiding your brother!"
"We know," Allice said. "thats why we're forcing you to see him."
"I'm doing it to save him. Do you want ME to kill him?" I don't know maybe they did.
"You can try." Rosalie said. "Emmet would kill you."
"Then let me go! He's to tempting for me." Allice was still on top of me. My chest was to the ground.
"NO WAY!" Allice said, "This is for your own good too, that way you learn how to control the urge...have you ever had human blood?" she slightly lossened her grip on me.
"What? NO! Iv'e been vegan all my life!"
"Then that's good! You need the practice! Oh, I smell 'em." Allice giggled as she got off me. I groand, I could smell him too, getting closer by the second

Seconds later Emmet, Jasper and Edward came into view, Edward was riding on Emmet, and I couldn't suppress a lagh.

"What's up?" Emmet asked.
"She's delusional." Jasper replied.

I held my breath to steady myself. What else could I go through?
