Chapter 1: A New Breed

I followed the directions Eleazar gave me. He told me I would be safe there. He had sent me to a small town in Washington called Forks. It looked safe enough. I drove my car up to a large house. I was amazed by the look of it, not seeing many houses like this in my time. I hadn't even knocked on the door when a little pixie haired girl opened it up.

"HE'S HERE HE'S HERE!!!" she yelled. Her voiced quieted down a bit as she greeted me. "Hello Xavier, I am Alice," she said with a huge toothy smile.

I smiled at her. Her sheer presence seemed to brighten my mood. With her small stature and adorable personality, I figured she could make this gloomy town quite bright.

"Hello Xavier," It was Carlisle, I had talked to him on the phone and recognized his voice, "come on in." he said, gesturing me into the door way.

I felt a little uncomfortable as I walked in. Two cold, dark eyes where staring at me with hatred. A tall, lanky man with wild and untamed hair with a women that had beautiful long blonde hair and a well proportioned body.

"I'm sorry for making your lives miserable today," I said, grinning at them in amusement as they huffed and went up the stares in one quick movement.

I smelled blood. It hit me very suddenly and I could tell it was human. I heard a hiss from the man who seemed to hate me. I glared at him. How could someone I didn't know be such a jerk to me? I was saved from our exchange of dirty looks by Carlisle.

"Eleazar has told me about you, Xavier, I understand you are quite different."

I was hit with the sudden realization that I was here to be researched. That bothered me. I wasn't a guinea pig, I was human….well, kind of…..

"Your mother was human correct?" he asked, I nodded. "Your father a vampire"

"Yes," I said, kind of wanting to get of the subject of research.

"Hmmm….." Carlisle pondered for a while and left to his office, leaving me alone with Mr. Death Stare.

I finally got fed up with his random hatred toward me and spoke up.

"What's your problem man? What the hell did I do to make you so mad at me?" I half yelled.

"You, you are my problem. You drink from humans!" he screamed.

"Yes, but I don't kill them! I'm not like the ruby-eyed blood drainers that you associate me with!"

He ran up the stairs and left me alone to think.

I'm really not like the human drainers. My eyes weren't even red, they where the lightest shade of blue, which made me easily look human, though you could hardly tell the color due to my black hair always in my eyes. I also had a pumping hard and venom infected blood always running through me. I wasn't like them, why did he despise me?

Then I smelled the human again, closer though. Alice came to the door immediately, smiling at me and she ran past.

"Hi, Bella," she greeted, her beautiful smile flashing across her face, "there somebody I want you to meet."
