Hello readers of FanFiction this is our first story, me and my sister, have written. It is a pretty long chapter but we hope you enjoy it. The whole chapter is in Bella's point of view.
OH & we DO NOT OWN Twilight {but that would be totally wicked}
"Bella" said my mom.
I turned to my alarm clock, it was 7:30 am. I spent my night, like always, reading Shakespeare's famous play "Romeo & Juliet". I knew why my mom was calling me, it was time. I had decided to go live with my biological father, Charlie, while my mother and her new husband traveled the world together to see all the sites. Now that we had eternity on our hands they wanted to see the wonders of the world. We have all of eternity on our hands because we're all vampires. We have all been vampires for 1 year now, all just out of the newborn stage. I had been only about seventeen when it happened...
My mom, Renee, her new husband, Phil, and I decided to go on a road trip to the mountains in the northeastern part of Arizona. Actually, Phil and my mom decided, i just went along with them cause I wanted to please them. But of course, being the clumsy girl I was known to be, I would stay in the campsite if they decided to hike. Which was the case on our second day there. What we didn't know though, was that a vampire was hunting in the area we were.
Now he wasn't a vampire that hunted humans, he was vegetarian, which means he hunts animals instead. But apparently he was really thirsty and new to the diet. So once he caught my scent, he went out of control and attacked me. It all happened so fast that I could barely do anything about it but scream. Hearing my scream and not too far away, mom and Phil came running into the campsite only to be attacked by the vampire themselves. There was probably too much blood for the vampire to handle so he bit us first then was about to start feeding when another woman vampire came. She pulled him away from us and it looked like she was scolding him from where I lay. But it was all too hard to pay attention because a searing pain had started to spread through my entire body. I have never felt so much pain. I felt like someone had taken a torch and was lighting every part of my body on fire, slowly and painfully.
When I woke I found myself in a log cabin surrounded by my mom, Phil, and the other two vampires. I became aware of my surroundings and suddenly I was on the other side of the cabin, crouched in a defensive position. Mom calmly came up to me and held her hands up in the air, trying to show me she meant no harm. Once i got my bearings and calmed down enough to talk, mom and the other two vampires explained what I was and how, if I chose to, hunt animals instead of humans. I decided to hunt animals because I didn't want to be a monster. I may have not chosen this life, but I'll just have to find a way to live with it.
The two vampires, Lacey and Kyle, only stayed for 10 months, to help us control our desire for human blood. Lacey had a peculiar gift, she could make anyone obey her. That's why the man obeyed her that day I was changed and that's why we easily obeyed them, but it wasn't something they forced us to do. We never killed any humans though, and for that I was proud. We had tested ourselves to be around humans, standing near the highway and getting used to the scent so the thirst would die down, that way in the future we could interact with the humans. All five of us had become almost like a coven, but eventually we separated and for two months Phil, mom and I rented a home in the mountains. Here we could be ourselves and the forest was nearby so we could hunt, but there was a town close and we would walk in the town with the humans to keep ourselves in check. But of course this was only when it was cloudy outside. I was devastated when I found out I couldn't go out when the sun was out so we're not to be noticed. I love the sun, I grew up in the sun. But I'll just have to live with it.
"Bella, we have to leave, your flight is in an hour." she screamed, even though i could perfectly well hear her with my newfound hearing. It's really good that Charlie is the Chief of police and lives in a rainy town, that way I won't become noticed with the sun. My father knows what we are, me and mom paid him a little visit a couple weeks back. He noticed the difference in us and we calmly told him the truth. He fainted of course, but once he woke up and saw we meant no harm, he asked some questions which we calmy answered them as best to our ability. When we told him Phil was a vampire also, he winced but went on with the questions. He actually took it better than I thought. I then asked him if I could come to stay with him and once he agreed we made the plans for me to fly over in a couple of weeks. He came to trust us, well me and mom at least.
I grabbed what little things I had and headed out the door with mom and Phil trailing behind me. We started to drive towards the airport so I put on my headphones and listened to a rock CD Phil had given me for Christmas.
We arrived at the airport 15 minutes later. I hugged to mother and waved goodbye to Phil. I knew that i would see them soon and we would stay in touch, but still. I would miss them both since they were the only ones that I could relate to.
I got onto the plane looking for my seat, row 8 seat B. I put my duffle bag into the compartment above my seat and sat down. I got a window seat and no one apparently was going to sit beside me, and for that I was glad. Slowly the plane started to fill even more with people, couples, families, babies, business people. And with all these humans packed tightly in a small space, I could feel the familiar burn in my throat start to rise. Every human had a different smell, some more appetizing then others. But the burn was easy to ignore. I had gone on a hunting trip the night before, to prepare myself very well. My eyes were probably a light butterscotch.
Soon enough, all the passengers came and the plane prepared to take-off. I could hear everything happening from the cock pit. The beeping of the buttons, the pilot saying orders, the engine starting. The plane finally took-off and after we had inclined for a few minutes, the plane leveled. I looked outside the window and with my enhanced sight I could see that we were just leaving the city. Where humans described the people as little ants, I could see them as if I was looking outside a three-story building onto the street, rather than thousands of miles in the air.
I was interupted by the voice of a man asking if I needed anything. I turned around and once he saw my beautiful face, he swallowed loudly and i could hear his heart acelerate. I knew this might happen. A long with all my enhanced senses, I also got enhanced beauty. All of this was supposed to draw in the prey, but since I didn't hunt humans, and I'm sure the animals didn't care, I thought it was unecessary. I didn't like the extra attention.
"No, I'm fine. Thank you", I said politely. I then heard his sudden intake of breath at the sound of my voice. Ugh, the voice. This too caused the unecessary attraction.
"Oh, o-okay", he stuttered and turned to walk away uneasily. He walked down toward some of the other male flight attendants and I could perfectly well hear what he told them about me. I tried to ignore them and leaned my head, closing my eyes. I just sat there, keeping in mind not to be too still, and waited for the plane to finally land.
~***~
When the plane did land, I got off and scanned the crowd for Charlie. I saw him, sure enough, waiting for me away from the crowd. I quickly, but still at a human pace, avoided the crowd and made my way to Charlie. He hugged me and then gave me a kiss on the cheek (he really needed to shave). He seemed so comfortable with my cold, hard body being so near to him. I just guess he prepared himself for this. I hugged him back, but no too hard so I wouldn't hurt him. I would never hurt Charlie, he was my father, I loved him as much as I loved my mom.
After he let me go, he looked me over and took my bags, even though I was fully capable of doing it myself. Charlie was always a gentlemen. He headed toward his cruiser and I took that moment for granted to take in Charlie's scent. Just in case, for future purposes. He smelled like, from what I could remember from my human memories, roasted peanuts and honey. I was thankful that the burn in the back of my throat wasn't so potent.
"Hey Bells, you look great. How ya doing? Hows your mom, she still with that guy..um..uh.." He made a confused look trying to remember what Phil's name was. I giggled, but too low for him too hear.
"...Phil, and ya she is, she's very happy. They decided to travel the world and see all the new sites, since they had all the time in the world, they figured they might as well." I smiled, but didn't show my teeth, trying to not make him feel uncomfortable.
"Oh, well that's great," he sighed, concerned. "I'm really happy for her." I could tell that he still loved my mom. Married or not, vampire or not.
We pulled into the drive way of his house. It looked the same form all of my childhood memories. It was still the same color from my mom and dads marriage but faded with dead shrubs in the front yard, he's one of those guys that did not care much for the appearance just that it was nice and cozy to them. We both got out of the car and Charlie got my bags from the trunk. I walked inside and saw that the appearance of the house inside was the same too, just a little older and more manly.
"Your room is upstairs, first door on the right and the bathroom to the left but I am assuming you wont need to use it that much." said Charlie.
" Thanks Ch-Dad." I had to get use to calling him Dad. I made my way up the stairs and unpacked my stuff at vampire speed finishing in a few seconds. I then heard Charlie turn on the T.V. watching his usual game and then I heard him loud and clear calling me down.
"I forgot to tell you, you start school tomorrow at Forks High School. I've already supplied you with the necessary supplies for your first day, it should be in a backpack in the corner of your room."
Oh, no! I totally forgot about school. I can't believe I have to start tomorrow. Couldn't I take a week off while I got settled. It wouldn't hurt but I'm guessing Charlie will never allow it. He may be the nicest guy you'll ever meet but he will never let you get away with anything. I thought about how I was to prepare myself for school tomorrow with all the humans so close to me in classes and hallways bumping into me making it harder for me to resist their blood. In order to prepare myself I decided to go hunting once more, there was enough woods in the area so I'm sure it would be easy to hunt quietly. But how would I tell Charlie without him freaking out?
"Okay, thanks," I said. "Hey Charlie?"
"Yeah?" he said, turning his attention from the game to look at me.
"Well, with school starting tomorrow and all, I want to be extra prepared," I said.
"I got you the school supplies...?" he asked, confused.
"No, I know that but I mean," I said. "There is going to be alot of people there and-"
"Forks High isn't that big, you shouldn't worry about being nervous. It'll be fine"
Finally I was tired of beating around the bush. I took an unecessary breath and said "Dad, I need to go hunting"
"Oh, right!" he said sheepishly. I could tell he was embarassed that he missed the obvious. He blushed, sending his scent strongly my way and the burn increased, but it was all too easy to stop and ignore.
"Yeah, well there sure is a lot of woods near the house. So I'm just gonna grab a few deer probably and be back soon." I tried to be casual about the whole thing, so he wouldn't be uncomfortable.
"Alright, don't be out too late Bells," he said, trying also to be casual. He turned back to the game and I headed out the back door, entering into the woods from my backyard.
I traveled deeper into the forest, wanting to not be so near the town, and Charlie, as I hunted.
I soon caught the scent of a few deer and my senses took over as I crouched and the venom pooled in my mouth. I ran as fast I could toward the deer and took two of them down, breaking their necks to paralyze them. The whole time I tried to be careful as to not get blood on my clothes. That would freak Charlie out. Their blood smothered the ache in my throat as I fed on them. Feeling satisfied and full, I tossed aside their carcasses and sat on a rock, looking at the stars in the sky.
I wondered where my mom and Phil were by now, Greece maybe, since that was their first intended spot to visit. I thought ahead to the start of school tomorrow, it was the middle of the school year. Most of the students already knew each other since pre-school and I was the new girl. I'd probably get a lot attention too, what with being Chief Swan's daughter. Also, my beauty would no doubt add to the attention.
I was alone slightly aware of the time, but I decided to head back to Charlie, maybe take a shower. Since I couldn't sleep, I would probably read until morning. But all I really could do, was wait for tomorrow to come.
