Twilight

Ghost in the shadows no-more

Bella

My mother has remarried to a boy-toy moron jock, 10-year her junior. Just 5-years older than me. It took three weeks for him to notice I lived in the same house, cooked and cleaned, and watch baseball with him, while mom did her pottery thing. When he did notice me, he started looking like I was mom.

She decided she didn't like the competition. Like I would sleep with pretty boy moron. I think if I did my IQ would fall to room temperature numbers. But today in less than an hour I fly out. the last week has been brutal. I'm a ghost, one of the invisible people that go to High School.

I tried to get anyone to care or miss me. all three study groups were only interested if I finished my part of the projects. Which meant did I finish the project, because they sure didn't do any work. I've only been here since middle school. Meek little no body me, handed them the projects; shredded and bagged yesterday. I dumped dye into the cheerleaders' shower water pipes. Oomph-Loompas orange is so their color. I put peanut butter in the teacher two xerox machines. Oh! Posted the student body porn pictures I had acquired onto the school server. I am a vengeful ghost.

The plane ride into exile was fun, apparently, I'm a nobody on planes. I had to scream murder when the glorified waitress skipped me for drinks and snacks. Charlie my dad was three hours late, A car wreck was more important than his daughter's arrival.

Forks the gloomy rains nearly every day ass end of the USA backwater of Washington State. Dad's the police chief, I haven't been here in ten years. Rainy, cold, small town. Not even a theater. Library sucks big time. Dad's the Police, so everyone thinks I'm a narc. I'm in hell

Dumping my stuff, don't have much, into my ten-year-old room. God what a screwed-up 6-year-old. I was to choose these colors, OH wait a moment MOM picked these colors. It near midnight, I've had enough of my insignificant live.

Walking down the road into town, I have to walk the 1.5 mile to school. At 2miles is main downtown. I turn down a forlorn road, alleyway, whatever. I'm sure it leads to the Greyhound stop. When I see under the streetlamp a golden Adonis.

I'm drawn to him, he must feel me. Walking up I see the beheaded corpse, he turns blood still around his mouth. I should freak out, but I don't; by-product of being a ghost, you see a lot of weird shit.

"hi? Are you in high school? I'm Bella. Chief Swans daughter." I ask as the weirdest thought runs thru my head. I don't want to be a ghost anymore. I don't want to be miserable anymore, a nobody.

"YES? You're not afraid or weirded out?" Adonis speaks. Confused, wiping the blood from his mouth on his sleeve.

"Your name pretty boy?" I try to be cool. But his stare is wetting between my thighs. the first time I've ever been horny

"Edward Cullen. You're not afraid or weirded out?" he asks again.

"nope, it does no good to be afraid or weirded out about my boyfriend being a vampire." The words split out before my brain can filter what I just said.

"BOYFRIEND! What are you talking about?" Edward demands even more confused.

"Well Edward it simple. I'm blackmailing you to be my boyfriend till one of us graduates. I'm tired of being a ghost in school. You're going make my last two-year happy ones."

"if I kill you right now?"

I hold up my cell phone. "All ready sent pictures to a secure cloud. I die, you become famous. Besides you don't have a girlfriend, already do you?"

"No. nor do I want you as one. How about strait cash to forget this.?" I walk up and taking my hands around his neck; on my toes pull him to my lips. If I die a least I tasted heaven.

He wraps his hands around my ass. Lifting me. we deepen and tongue the flaring passion. I break, laying my head in the crook of his neck, pleasantly cool skin, soothes my overheated face.

Edward-pov

I just killed a rogue vampire, his corpse lays at my feet. I feel the girls, not hear her, smell her. Her mind is a blank slate. She's is dress to blend into the night, the background even in daylight. Her scent as she nears me, has my blood boiling, she's my singer. I would love to sink my teeth into her. I look into the bottomless brown eyes, sucking my soul.

My soul? I'm a frigging vampire I don't have a soul. The thirst disappears as she speaks, a lithe sweet measured voice. "hi? Are you in high school? I'm Bella. Chief Swans daughter."

"YES? You're not afraid or weirded out?" I speak. Very Confused everything this night has been. Wiping the blood from his mouth.

"Your name pretty boy?" she's trying to be cool, sounding. I watch the twinkle in her eyes. I what to kiss that smart mouth.

"Edward Cullen. You're not afraid or weirded out?" I ask. How can she not be freaking out?

"nope, it does no good to be afraid or weird out about my boyfriend being a vampire." She states.

"BOYFRIEND! What are you talking about?" I scream, shocked and now very afraid. Who is this girl and how can she bewitch me? I need to kiss her, hug her, make love to her. I harden at her smirking sensual mouth. Where is my brains, obviously in my dick!

"Well Edward it simple. I'm blackmailing you to be my boyfriend till one of us graduates. I'm tired of being a ghost in school. You're going make my last two-year happy ones." She's insane. But I want, need to drink the cool-aide. I've been alone so long, so isolated from the world. But can't she mean this. I need to scare her off.

"if I kill you right now?" giving her my you're dead I'm going to eat you look.

She holds up her cell phone. "Already sent pictures to a secure cloud. I die, you become famous. Besides you don't have a girlfriend, already do you?"

"No. nor do I want you as one. How about strait cash to forget this.?" I try to struggle with my emotions.

She walks up I'm frozen between heaven and hell. Her hands wrap around my neck, she tiptoes pulling her to my lips. I die tasting heaven. I wrap my hands around her firm strong ass. Lifting her, we deepen and tongue the flaring passion. She breaks, laying her head in the crook of my neck, bring a warmth to my neck, if I could blushing I'd been fire engine red. This little girl rocks my world.

We are frozen in this time and place. She purrs into my neck making me shake in need and desire.

"Is the dog you're?" she whispers. I swing her off me, turning to Sam shifting from his black fur werewolf. "Not even close Cullen." He walks up naked. Bella giggles. I what to tear his head off for looking at my girl.

"Hi! I'm Bella, Chief Swans daughter. You are? Doesn't it hurt to change back and forth." She speaks like she at church social. Does anything weird her out.

"Sam Uley, I know Charlie. Is this some new kill Technique Cullen?" he speaks like the prick he is.

"Sam, is it? his name is Edward. My boyfriend. If you have a problem then run along little, and I do mean little boy" Bella has some bark, I stare stunned at her courage.

"Yes, it's Sam. An I know his name. Edward, we took the other too down. EMBRY clear this trash. Thanks for the assistance." Two wolfs walk out of the dark, dragging body away.

Hey, as Bella snaps an elbow to my stomach. She gestures with her head, again gestures. I have no idea what she wants. "HAAAA! HAAAAA! Edwards you have no knowledge of women. That means you apologizes too. I have to tell my mate Emily Young. You are so screwed Cullen. Woman like her don't put up with our bad manners. Bella Swan I think you are going to bring a lot of change to Forks. Talk later Cullen." He walks away shifting to wolf again.

"did you mean that?" I ask confused. This little girl confuses the hell out of me.

"YES. He Thanked you, you need to reciprocate manners. Now what do you want to do?" Bella smirks

"Ok let's go to my place and talk." He picks me up and blurs thru town, woods arriving at a modern, open glass and wood house. We enter and head to the kitchen. He gets me a glass of water. "Sorry we don't have any food."

"What do you live on?"

"My family and I call ourselves vegetarians. We only drink animal blood. My sister Alice, Rose and Emmet have never tasted human blood. I and Jasper our parents have. Scared yet?"

She smirks at me. removing her jacket to a god-awful sweater and shirt. I move stripping her of these ugly things. Leaving her in a lace bra. Looking at her, this was a bad idea. My pants split with my hardon.

She giggles "Well your definitely not a little boy." She licks her lips. I blitz thru the house grabbing on of Alice wraps. Putting it around here. "thanks.

"what happened tonight?" she asks. Moving into the living room, sitting on the couch. I started to move to a chair, she coughed patting the spot next to her. Sitting she leads into me.

"Aren't you cold, touching me?"

"Not really, I was always overly warm. This is comfortable. What caused you to kill that vampire."

"ok. They were nomads, invade our territory, killing indiscriminate. They killed a family outside of town. Torture the people before ending them. I felt them, gave chase. They headed across the border line into La Push. We have a treaty with them not to cross the line. But these nomads didn't know or care. So, I called Harry Clearwater, he's an elder in the tribe. He said chase them; the pack would be there as soon as possible.

I caught up at them at North Field Camp about eight miles down the highways. It's the closes Quileute group to Forks. It was three on one. Till the wolfs showed up. One headed back towards town, I chase him. The other headed for the coast, the wolfs ran them down. Ended them. You saw me after I closed on the last one. Then you showed up. your turn?"

"I just arrived this afternoon from Phoenix. Mom remarried a guy five year older than me. Phil's seem ok, if room temperature IQ baseball players. He just got creep when he realized I lived in the house. We three only lived in the house for four weeks, before he notices me. I'm a ghost. No one notice me, or cares. So, Mom shipped me off to Dad's." she looks down and seems to try to shrink into the sofa.

I pull her to my lap, kissing her, making her purr. God, I love when she purrs. "You're never alone again, not with me as your boyfriend." She smiles into me, my world just lite up. I've never felt this since my mother, before the disease killed her. I could fall hopelessly in love with Bella Stella, my beautiful star.

"Alice in here." great my family is home. Just the kids, the parents are at a medical conference in Seattle this week. "my siblings are here. we should go down and introduce you.

She shifts under my arm as we wait, I first think it's the meet a pack of vampires. But I realize its meeting people that matter to me. They arrive in the living room. Everyone I stunned. "This is Bella Swan, Chief Swans daughter and my girlfriend. This is Alice, her mate Jasper; The walking big foot is Emmett with his mate Rosalina. Questions? A twenty-minute free for all, ends when Bella punch's Rose and flips Jasper onto the ground.

Alice screams "Alright enough. Rose I'm ashamed that you said that. She is not a problem. They are happy together. I need to work my magic so Bella can get some sleep before School. Edward, Jasper take a patrol around the town. Make sure no more nomads. Something is blocking me seeing them. Come along Bella.

Bella-pov

The Alice tornado, I find myself stripped and in the shower. I nearly leap out when a naked Alice gets in with me. She starts scrubbing me, I feel the raw skin sting in the hot water. Rosalina steps in and they shave me. I am bright red for the exfoliate and embarrassment. Once out they rub me with lotion. Sitting me on real swivel barber chair. A facial, Mani-pedi. Haircut., she gives me waves and highlights. More lotion, Alice wants to do a lot of makeup, I refuse. Light only I'm not a makeup painted clown kind of girl. Se relents after I threat to wear only my cloths.

Standing buck naked before the full-length mirror. I look ok, no major flaw. Tits good size, ass firm not too big or flat. Remembering Edwards reaction. Cause me to squirm in need. Smack! "Stop dreaming about Edward, or you'll need a pad. An it would look bad. here put on the underwear."

The underwear is lacey, sexy, really boosting my esteem. Alice tries to bully me on outfits. I settle for black leggings, knee length pencil skirt, and nice pullover Cardigan. I refuse violently on the heels. Given my clumsiness on heel. I'd lucky to just break my neck. We compromise on ballet flats.

I walk out to Edward gawking. Emmett dropped his book. Rosalina hugs me, shocking me. "The new Bella Swan, now Edward take her home so she can get three hours of sleep." Edward takes me kissing me. "Hey you can do that at school. Now scoot."

Edward blurs me thru the woods to my house. Up thru my window. Laying me in my bed. I smile at him. "Edward go home, I'll me you at school." He kisses me lips and forehead. "I will pick you up at 7:45. No argument. Girlfriend of mine. You're not walking to or from school. See you soon. Bella Stella" he's gone.

I dreamy float to sleep. The alarm blares: Taking a quick shower making sure to not get my hair wet. I look in the mirror, I seem the same. Just a cleaner, less hidden. I get up put on the cloths I removed once Edward left. Dressed I head down stairs. Charlie is missing a note tells me he was call away early this morning about a house fire. I know the real story. Sadly, I make some toast and sausage.

Walking out the door at exactly 7:45 to Edward a silver Volvo. He kisses me. seating me in the car. My first day at Forks High School.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pulling into the parking lot. I watch the groups of kids, I immediately make decision on which groups and how to avoid them. I shrink down in the seat. Till Edward pinch's my ass. Causing me to yelp. Turning to his golden eyes. "Bella you're not a ghost anymore. You're my queen. So, don't take crap from any of these kids. They give you problems let me know. I'm your man! OK?"

"OK. Man of mine?" I sound weak and meek. But I sit up and check my look in the passenger vanity mirror. Still good. He parks and moves around to open my door. Taking his hand, send electric shock-wave thru my body. It has been like that since the first touch last night.

Standing up, I feel afraid, being so open exposed. I wrap my arms around him, he leans down and kiss me. The world disappears to just us. I let his strength calm me. "Edward, Bella stop and scoot to the office. NOW" Alice barks as his family laughs at us. He takes my hand and leads me to the closet size office of Forks General High School.

The office secretary puffs her chest at the sight of Edward. I'm going to have to get use to it. the Adonis effect. At least Charlie remember to register me. I look over my schedule, handing it to Edward. "Cool we have the first three class, then you have home economics while I have gym. We lunch together. Then you have Alice after lunch for humanities, me for biology, then you have gym."

"gym I already took gym." I whine I hate gym. Visions of balls flight at me. or me beaming some teammate.

"Sorry Bella, but here you get gym every year. Besides I think you in shorts and t-shirt would be very very motivating."

Walk to our first class advance Calculus, "What are you doing while I'm getting wacked in gym?"

He shakes his head, I think this is vampire for blushing. "Sex ed!" I gawk at him. "Can I trade gym for that."

"No, you took it freshman year." Edward smirks. "You could help me with the home work, since you already took the class. Maybe tutor me? puppy dog eyes please" I laugh holding on to his arm as we enter the class room. Everyone is frozen staring at me. I feel him kiss my hair. I relax. "Hi! I'm Bella Swan just transferred in. here is my paperwork." I hand the teacher my papers. "Mr. Cullen take your seat" Edward ignores him holding me around the waist.

After he signs and gives me my books Edward escorts me to our seats. He shows me where in the book we are at. Every student is still staring at us. "Is there a problem with me, or my boyfriend Edward?"

That cause blushes, awes and everyone turns embarrassed. "Alright CLASS, turn to chapter thirteen Ascoli Arzela Theorem. Let's begin!"

Every class goes that way till he drops me off at the door to home economics. My sleep thru elective class. I'm shocked that Rosalina is in the class this is second year Home Economics Cooking 102.

I walk over and sit next to her. "Hey new girl, I wouldn't sit there if you expect a passing grade. Beauty Queen can't cook." I see Rosalina is hurt, if she could cry she be in tears running down the hall to the bathroom.

"Well then it's a good thing I'm her Partner, because I can cook and make sure we pass this class. After all I have to be nice to my boyfriend's sister." I bump shoulders. She turns with wonder in her eyes.

"Your dating Edward?" explodes in the room. "Dating him, hell yes. Now shut up and mind your own business." I yell back. Rosalina laughs. Whispering "How did you ever hide as a ghost?" "I'm just saying out loud what i use never say."

I shrug, as teacher does paperwork and hands me my pamphlet for the class. I help Rosalina make bread. She just needs someone patience and able to look past the Madonna face.

She walks with me to lunch, Alice joins us in line. We get our food although I know I'm the only one eating. Alice is a running commentary on who who in the school. I notice several boys leering at me. It makes me nervous.

"That's Mike Newton and his side kick Tyler Crowley, stay away from them. Their user and abuser; they like to screw and pass around girls that fall for them. The black haired, Angela Weber was just dumped after they sold her to the football team." Alice speaks whispers.

"where are the Guys?" I ask

"Their running late, Coach is trying to get Edward and Emmett out for football. But they won't."

"Hey Bella Right? I'm Mike this is Tyler. You should sit with us over there. Not with these freaks. Come on over to the cool kids table." He grabs my arm. Letting him pull me up from the seat. I cross over his arm grabbing me, twisting inward and around. Then snap back to the left. Driving the heel of my right hand into his neck under the ear. Kicking his leg out. then putting my knee in his kidney. He stays down, he'll be pissing blood for a week. Being a ghost means everyone like to get violent at you. I learned and took class since my mother's dream of ballet dancer ended after three weeks.

I feel my man's hands on my waist. "Edward, could you get me some napkins please." Sitting down. Tyler drags his friend away. Edward follow them getting my napkins.

"Hell, Bella you got moves" Emmett crows.

"Yes, very practiced and controlled moves" Jasper says quietly

"when you're a Ghost you need to learn a lot of self-defense. When ever someone notice you, they usually meant to get physical in bad ways" I say shrugging my shoulders in that doh way.

"I could show you several new ones if you wish" Jasper says hugging Alice.

"My lady your napkins. And I had words with the leeches. Next time I get to kick their asses." Edward smiles at me.

"why thank you kind sir. Please sit and tell me of your day."

"Bella Stella, I would rather discuss the coming evening and night." He looks all hot a smoldering.

"Humm, what could we do. O'yes you ask if I would tutor you in your last class. I'm sure we can work in some excises practice. Baby" I giggle at him

"HEY Ed don't you have _ Roses that hurt." Emmett start till Rose elbows his gut. Glaring at him.

"This is so much fun, I can't wait for tomorrow" Alice is vibrating in her seat. We have accidental let loose the pixie. Will any of us survive.
