Chapter One
Bella's POV
Stepping from the plane into the rainy air was the best feeling. Ever. I always swore when I left when I was ten that I would never step foot in Forks, Washington again. It was just too boring for me here. However it was now vital to get away from Florida and everything I knew there. I didn't have just myself to think about anymore.
"Hold on to my hand tight Bug." I said, using her nickname.
"'Kay momma." She squeezed my hand to emphasize her point. I smiled. It was at that moment I saw who I was looking for, waiting. My grin widening, I glanced down at my two year old.
"Hey Bug, look over there." I pointed in front of us. Luckily there was no one to block her view as we were the first out of the luggage pickup.
"Grampaaa!" she squealed, releasing my hand as she ran head on to my dad who was waiting impatiently.
"Hey baby girl." He boomed. Just at that moment my daughter tripped over her own feet - one thing I hated that she inherited from me was my talent for being clumsy - fortunately Grandpa Charlie saved her from falling, scooping her up into his arms. She squealed again for good measure as he lifted her high above his head.
"Okay enough squealing already." I complained laughingly. Charlie caught me in a one armed hug, keeping tight hold of his Granddaughter at the same time.
"How was the flight?" He asked.
"What do you think?" I laughed. "Long-haul with an over-active clumsy two year old." I laughed again. I wasn't really complaining, she had been the light of my life since I first felt her kick.
"Well then let's get you both home." He had love in his voice and eyes and it was right then that I knew I had made the right choice getting away from my mother and Phil. I couldn't even think about my life back in Florida, it was too painful. I promised myself right then that no one would ever take advantage of me again. If not for me then for my daughter.
Emmett's POV
I was full of grisly by the time I followed my siblings to our cars. I slowed and looked up at the sky. Today was a normal drizzling day for the Washington area and Alice had promised the sun from the past week had finally gone, at least for the next two weeks or so. Which meant tomorrow was Monday and school. High School. I groaned at the thought, earning funny looks from my brothers and sisters over their shoulders, not breaking their stride. It was getting routine now, after eighty years of constantly graduating from many different high schools. It was okay for my other brothers, they had their true mates in my sisters to go through classes and such together. I was happy for them but sometimes it could be really annoying. Like last week, it was really boring, so I asked Jasper for an out and out dirty fight but he said that he was on his way out with Alice, his true mate. I mean, come on, is there any competition between holding shopping bags all afternoon or fighting? No there is not! Edward isn't any better, I asked him did he want a race through town in his new car, but he said he was busy helping Rose as she turned Jasper's car turbo. They were so whipped. I sighed, clearly in denial. I couldn't say that I wouldn't want exactly that. My own mate to share this long life with.
"Hey Emmett? You ready to get home or do you wanna stay here all night long?" Rosalie said with a laugh. I glared, but got in the car that I only now realized I was standing next too, keeping the door open whilst thinking. I started driving as if on autopilot.
The next day I was so engrossed in moving my food around on my plate that I didn't realize everyone else had become statues. I looked around for danger using all my extra senses but found nothing. I was finally about to ask what was wrong when I realized Alice was staring blankly across the room. I immediately relaxed, only slightly. I would probably tense up again when she came out of her vision, but for now I settled for waiting. I let my gaze wonder around the now jam-packed cafeteria. Humans. Laughing, having fun. Each and everyone of them didn't know how much danger they would be in if just myself or one of my siblings got bored. Not that we would ever do that. We were 'vegetarians'. Vampires drinking animal blood, how idiotic does that sound! I smirked at the fragility of it all. Humans and their around 80 year lifespan. One accident can lead to death. Maybe by myself and my siblings, without them every knowing. I mean it would only take one paper cut. One whiff of blood, would we be able to restrain ourselves? Definitely not Jasper. I wouldn't know about myself, it depends on how appealing the blood. My gaze wondered to the food line and was immediately drawn to a brunette. She looked to be about 5'4" to my 6'3", slim with a great ass. She's a human Emmett, get it together. I laughed at my thoughts. I don't ever remember seeing her though. Well, the back view of her anyway. She must be the chief of police's daughter. The new girl, Isabella. Isabella Swan. At that moment, not even a second later, I turned back to check on Alice to her coming out of the vision. Both Alice and Edward moved to stare at me in a mixture of excitement, wonder and…. Horror? No that cant be right. But it was. The excitement won out, both of them breaking out in blinding grins. I grumbled.
"What are you two freaks smiling at?"
"Hey! Your just as big a freak as we all are." Rosalie stated with incredibility. "What are you smiling at anyway?" She asked. Still no answer. "Edward? Baby? What are the grins about?" Edward went to speak, but Alice beat him to it.
"Emmett's going to get his true mate!" She exclaimed.
"WHAT!" I roared, receiving chastising looks from my siblings and scared looks from the rest of the students of Fork High School. "Who?" I asked, only somewhat calmer. Damn! I wondered when this was going to happen! Alice hadn't mentioned any new vampires coming through town lately.
"Isabella Swan." She told me, with a look meant to tell me to keep my reaction human. Human. That's what my true mate is. Horror!
