Edward's POV

I was bored, out of my mind. I'd been through high school a lot, and it just got more irritating to be here.

I listened to the voices around me, hoping to hear something interesting, but all I heard were stuff about the new girl, Isabella Swan. Apparently, she had been living with her mother up until 3 years ago, when she went missing for those years of her life, she says she can't remember anything, only that she arrived on her father's, Chief Charlie Swan's, doorstep a couple weeks ago. I saw the image of her in people's minds, straight brown hair, a very pale face, golden eyes, and she was well, beautiful.

I was suddenly brought back to the attention of my siblings when Alice, my adopted sister, gasped and almost dropped her lunch tray. She caught it long before it hit the ground, with her speed and grace. My family was all vampires, our grace, speed, cold hard skin, stillness, and thirst for blood marked us for what we are.

"Alice, what is it?" Jasper asked, worry seeping into his voice.

I looked into Alice's thoughts and tried to see what she had seen that surprised her so much. I say it then, and I was panicked too. How could it be true? I looked around for the girl her vision had been about, but I didn't see her.

"Alice, are you sure?" I asked her. She was still frozen still, pondering the future.

Yes, the vision was absolutely positive. Alice thought back to me, we were used to having these quiet two way conversations, with Alice's ability to predict the future, and my ability to read people's thoughts, these conversation's were easy.

"Will someone tell us what the hell is going on?" Emmett's impatient voice boomed over the table.

"The Swan girl," Alice managed to gasp. She was still shocked about what she had seen, it had been a quiet, regular day, and now we came across something to make this day intresting, as Emmett would say.

"What about her, Alice?" Jasper asked, still worried for his lover.

It was I that answered his question though, "She is like us, exactly like us." Isabella Swan was a vampire, a vegetarian vampire. Alice had seen into the future, where she saw Isabella, hunting animal blood, in the forest, alone.

Everyone at the Cullen table looked shocked now, we searched for the girl with the beautiful brown hair and pale skin, and she suddenly entered the cafeteria. We all knew Alice was right then, her vampire smell had also been brought into the room. She was standing in the lunch line unnaturally still, she wasn't blinking, and she grimaced as the smell of the disgusting human food reached her nose. She obviously didn't know much about acting human. She could expose us all.

I listened to hear her thoughts, but I heard silence. Strange. I listened to her speaking to Jessica Stanley.

"Who are they?" Isabella asked Jessica, her gaze staring at our table. We all stared back. We knew she knew we were vampires, she could smell us and she had a look of apparent shock on her face.

Oh, great. She's already asking about the Cullen's. Well Bella does look a lot like them, I wonder… Jessica thought as she answered her, "The Cullen's."

So she liked being called Bella, and Jessica noticed she looked like us. That is not good. We would have to talk to Bella.

I reported this back to my siblings, then I listened for more. I still couldn't hear Bella, maybe she had some special vampire ability, like Alice, Jasper, and I.

Should we question her? Alice thought. What is she thinking, Edward?

" I can't hear her thoughts, she must have some ability," I told her.

"Let's talk to her, I want to know more," Jasper decided.

At the end of the day, all of us, even Rosalie, were waiting at our car for the Swan girl to exit the school. She did eventually, and headed straight for the woods behind the school, we all ran at a human pace, up the woods to catch up with her. She saw us following her, and she stopped.

We caught up and stopped, she eyed us nervously. She looked us all up and down, seeing our pale skin, our golden eyes, and our accusing stares. She looked helpless, and I realized I felt pity for her. The silence grew and was eventually broken.

"We know what you are," Alice whispered, staring at the girl.

I don't think any of us, not even Alice, expected her reaction. She suddenly fell to the ground and started sobbing, without the tears, of course. Vampires couldn't shed tears. She then started begging.

"Please don't hurt me, I didn't know what to do, don't hurt me!" She gasped between sobs. We stared at each other, worried. What was wrong with this vampire girl?

I looked into Jasper's mind to see what emotions this girl was feeling. Scared. Nervous. Sad. Pain.

"What?" Alice questioned her. You could tell Alice was very confused. Alice was never confused. I guess she didn't predict this.

"Don't hurt me!" was all she said. Poor girl, I thought.

"Jasper calm her down," Alice whispered. Jasper's special ability worked almost immediately. After Jasper calmed the girl down enough to speak, we questioned her again.

" Yes, I'm a v-vampire," she blubbered. Her voice sounded like wind chimes, but the tearless sobs ruined it.

"Okay then, we are too," Alice said. We were all worried. What had happened to this girl and what was her story?

"Oh, I s-see," she stammered. "I didn't know, I have been for only 3 years, I didn't know." The last part of what she just said hadn't made any sense. What didn't she know? So many questions for the girl swirled in my head that I thought I was going to go crazy.

"What? Only 3 years? Do you travel alone?" Jasper asked, unable to believe a 3 year old vampire could control being around humans. Jasper's passed was different from ours, and he had a lot of experience with newborn vampires. I could tell his thoughts were wary and he was nervous about having Alice so close to such a newborn vampire.

"Yes." Bella answered all three of Jasper's questions with only one word. She then started to get nervous again and dry sobbed.

"How about we take her to Carlisle, she doesn't seem to know much," Rosalie suggested. We all shrugged and she came willingly.

"Which car is yours?"I asked her. I looked back towards the school parking lot and saw that none of the students had seen our exchange and Bella sobbing. There were only a couple cars left and I wondered what car Bella drove. Wait, why am I thinking about cars at a time like this? Never mind.

"I ran," she informed me. We all exchanged looks again. So the girl had run, I wonder what she had told her dad. Chief Police Charlie Swan's house was at least 5 miles from school so walking here for a normal human would have been a problem. Alice invited her to ride with us. Emmett and Rosalie took Rosalie's car because there wasn't much space left in my Volvo. Jasper would have gone with them, but he didn't want to leave Alice with this newborn vampire girl unprotected. We got in the car and took off. We had a lot to ask this little vampire girl.
