Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, and i have no intention's of saying that i do.
By the way, if the text changes to this ( Hell, people. ). That's because the people are speeking Italian. Ok?
For heavan's sake! Could i not be trusted with one assignment? I have been in the field for only two days, and i was already being followed. Sighing, i stopped in the middle of the foot path that led from the airport to the bus shelter, waiting for my follower to catch up. After standing there for three minutes with no sign that i was being watched, i shrugged my sholder's and started walking again.
My name is Isabella swan, and up untill two day's ago, i was sitting in my mum's living room laughing over a cup of coffee. But now i was on my way to my first assignment and my mother was so happy because it was my first time. You see, my family and me had a long history in...being vampire hunter's. At first i wanted no part of it, but as i grew, i knew i needed to help out. So i trained, understood them, and leart how to protect my self. Even though i had never acaully seen one.
Right now i was on my way to a small town called Forks, where my targets were. The Cullen family. Because i was only 17, i will be going to school, which is good because the vampire's fake their age and go to school aswell.
"Bus 34 is leaving in five minutes from terminol two." A depressed voice called from the loud speeker. Shit.
I got to the bus just as it was about to go and jumped on with a few angry stairs from the passingers. I got there in two hour's and, much to my dissapointment, it was raining. Great. Calling a cab in this weather was impossible, but finally i was in the warmth of the cab and and driving to the Forks hotel, where i would be staying.
Once i unlocked the door, i all but fell unconsious on the double bed. Knowing i needed sleep for school tomorrow, i didn't try to get up.
"Arggg," I said, rolling over and switching off my phone alarm. After my eye's adjusted to the sudden light, i was up and full awake in seconds. It was 7:45...School start's at 8:30. Dammit! Throwing on the first thing i could see (deep blue jeans, green singlet with a cardgin over it) i brushed my teeth, put my hair up into a high piggy tail, i was out the door and on the 8:00 bus in fifteen minutes. Hopping off the bus when it stopped at school, the wind greated me with coldness.
"Shit." I forgot my jacket.
"Look's like you forgot your jacket," a girly voice said from behind me as the bus pulled away.
Turning, i came face to face with a small brown haired girl. She had attention seeker writen all over her.
"Umm, yeah."
"Not going to make it far in this town without one." Believe me, i don't think Jackets are the problem in this town.
"I know," I said matter of factly. "I have to go and...sign in." And with that, i left in the direction of a small brick building that said 'Admission'.
Thanks to the office lady, i was late for my first class and had to explain to Alex why i hadn't been called on the role yet. Alex is the operator of the assignment. He follows my every move and checks in on me every once in a while with walkie talkie's...Joking. We have these really awesome watches that call be used to call people and record stuff.
Unfortunly thought, i couldn't find anything at all to report on. Not one single trace of something that could be a vampire. But, however, when i walked into biology, i saw the most amazing looking man in my life. Bronze coloured hair, pale as a goast and eye that were a light butterscotch. Tensed, walking over and sitting down next to him was nearly impossible when my mind was screaming 'Run!'.
"Ok, people," started the teacher, making me jump. The vampire's eye's followed my every move. "This is Isabella Swan."
When everyone looked at me, my head stayed up and i looked each of them leavlely in the eye. Why should i be scared my a bunch of teenagers when a real life vampire was sitting not two feet from me. As soon as the bell rang, i got up and walked swiftly out, stopping two feet from the door and pulling out my cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Alex, it's Bella."
"Hay! How's it going?" The excitment in his voice was a bit over done.
"I found what we were looking for and it's true. The..." I trailed of as someone caught my eye. The vampre was standing across the hall, watching my every move. I had no doubt that he could hear me, but did he know Italian? Best no to risk it. "Never mind. I'll call back when i hav more info."
"Ok, Bella. Be careful."
"Always am." Sighing, i shoved my phone in my pocket, returning to the fake world that i had to creat. This was going to be fun.
Two days after my first sight of a real vampire, and they decid not to show for two days. That left me with nothing but to socalize with the kids and make friends. Each day i sat with Jessica, Mike, Eric and a girl i could recall because she so rearly talk's. Alex was all but bitting my head off about it. That's why when i walked into Biology on Thursday and saw the vampire sitting there, i was more excited then i sould have been.
After what seemed would be another boreing class, something weird happened. The vampire turned and started talking to me.
"Hello." Oh crap. Nerviousness took over and i was unable to respond. Nothing in my training could prepear me for this.
"Umm...Hi." I sounded half strangled.
He just found it amusing. Sick, twisted creation. "You don't look so good."
"Then leave me the hell alone," i spat. His face looked incredalous, but he let it go. As on Monday, i called Alex when i was out of class and told him the whole encounter with the vampire. What he said next freaked me the hell out.
"You what?" I screamed, catching the eye of everyone in the hallway. I turned my back on them and faced the wall.
"I want you to talk to him and possibly become his friend."
"I...but...you."
"If your not up to it, we can get someone more expirianced to take over."
"I'll do it," i said bitterly befor slaming my phone shut. He knew i couldn't back out of this, im my only family's chance to rediem our honer. After my dad tryed and failed to kill a vampire. But was he crazy! Become friends with the living dead? But like always, i sucked it up and went to look for the vampire. I found him i the caffiterria, on the far side by himself. He looked up and smiled when i sat down across from him.
"Look, uumm..." Do vampire's even have name's.
"Edward," he said in a velvet voice. I found myself getting caught in it before shaking my head and getting back to bussness.
"Look...Edward. I am sorry about before, in the class room. I had a bit of a headach and well, i dont really understand the lab," i lied causaly, a plan coming to mind.
"Ohh, maybe i can help you. Would you like me to come over to your's or would you like to come to mine?" No, i would not like to go to your cave, but i had to.
"Sure," i said through clinched teeth. "I'll swing by yours around four." That gave me enough time to get in and out before sun down.
After traiding phone number's, standing and walking away was i now only realiseing how his eye's seemed to sparkle in thefloresent light. I stopped dead in my track's, managing to knock over a small red head. Was i falling for a vampire? No time to figur that out now, though. The red head that i had knocked over was now stairing daggers through me. Everyone stopped and created a circle around us, smelling a fight.
"Bitch, you did not just do that," she screeched, lunging forward, only to have me step out of the way. She fell to the floor.
"Watch your feet." People laughed.
I was instantly on the difencive. After a few more failed attacks from her and a lot of funny comments from me, i was getting bored and decided to end it. On her fifth lung, my fist snaked out and connected with her nose. She went flying back, blood dripping from her nose. The croud sucked in a breath before cheering.
"You fucking broke my nose," she screamed and ran from the room. After talking to some of my 'friends', i decided to go home early. I caught the eye of Edward as i walked out, and the set of his mouth made it look like he was consentrating hard on something. A feeling of uneass spread trough me. See you at four, i thought with disgust as i walked out of sight.
