Alexandra's P.O.V

Prologue: I looked over at him as the blood pooled around me: my blood. I was crying, that was typical. I saw his beautiful face, twisted in a mask of horror and pain. He was too beautiful to feel pain. I reached out to him with my hand and he placed it on his cheek. I caressed it as I mouthed to him my last shred of humanity. 'Don't worry, I'll be ok. I love you, and love conquers all.' With that, my eyes shut and a new pain began. This one felt like fire and ice rushing through my veins. It was excruciating, I wanted it to stop. I was shrieking, and I knew that he looked away, because my hand fell from his face and clutched my sides in pain. It was the change brought on by the vampire venom. I was becoming a child of the night; a vampire……..

9 months earlier….

I was on my way to school. Stupid high school. There was no reason for us to get up that early to go to a place where they let us sleep anyways. I pulled into the Forks High School parking lot and parked my car. I'd been here for 2 months, and I absolutely hated it. It was a boring old town with nothing to do. It was nothing at all like New York City. I could thrive there, breathe there…and now…I was stuck in this hellhole of a town. I got out of my car and headed towards building 3, where my first class was; French. I was already fluent in the language, having French relatives could do that to you. I walked into my class and set my things down. I took out my notebook and started writing, as I usually did all French class. This story just so happened to be on vampires.

Andromeda crept closer, not wanting to make any wrong movements. She didn't want to end up dead, just by moving too quickly. She knelt down in front of him and placed a hand on his cold, marble face. "It's alright—I know what you are. I'm not afraid of you." She said to him, smiling to show her courage. Bonus points for her. "You should be." He said, and he leapt at her. He was on her throat in half a second, and just as his fangs pierced her throat, she whispered "It's alright—I will not fight you."….

The bell rang, interrupting my flow of creation. I snarled at the bell as the kids filed in one by one. No one sat near me, no one looked at me. I was the outcast, and I didn't care. I continued writing until French ended and I headed off to my classes. They were all a blur anyways so it didn't surprise me that it was already lunch time by the time I really woke up today.

"Hey…you're the new girl right?" a brunette asked me. I nodded. The girl had a heart shaped face, brown eyes, and a soft smile. She looked friendly enough, and she was the first person to really talk to me other than a head nod.

"Hi. My name is Bella. I used to be the new girl about two months ago when I first came here, but then you came and I wasn't new anymore…" she babbled on. I kept nodding, knowing how to pay attention though you tune them out. She sighed and I came back into focus.

"I thought you might like to sit with me at our table." She said, smiling. I looked at her table; the rest of the girls did not want me there, I could tell. Oh well.

"Uh…no thank you. I have a lot of things to do and I'm not very social. Maybe another time." I said and walked away to the only empty table in the cafeteria. After about twenty minutes of reading, someone approached me.

"Hello."

"Yo." I said, as I always replied when I was reading. I heard a soft chuckle and then he spoke again.

"My name is Jasper, can I join you?"

"Sure." I replied, not even looking up. He chuckled again and sat next to me. He leaned in, like he was going to whispered something to me when someone else's voice came.

"Jasper. Get. Up. Now." It was a female this time, and she was chastising him. Her voice was high and musical. It was a beautiful sound.

"I'm sorry he's never like….this." she said, trailing as I looked at them. They were gorgeous. Both of them. It was breathtaking just to look at them.

"We have to go." She said in a hurry and dragged him off to a table where three more amazingly gorgeous people sat. Their…family? I looked at them. There were two more boys and one other girl. They were all just so pretty to look at. The one with the brownish hair turned to me and glared. I think he was in my Physics class…The bell rang and they all left. I shrugged as if coming out of a trance and walked off to Physics. I walked in and sat in the back, in the farthest right hand corner at the desk. It, too, was empty besides for me. Bella, the girl I had spoken to earlier, came in and sat in the middle desk, on the side closest to me. She turned to me and smiled. I smiled back and went to work on whatever was on the board. Then—he came in. He smiled at Bella as he sat down, and glared at me. What was eating him? Bella said something, and he turned away. Mr. Banner came into the room, and told us about our lab. He came over to me after his speech and told me that I needed a partner for this. I sighed and he told me to join Bella's group. The guy's head shot up and Bella smiled at me.

"Come on over." She said welcoming. I sighed and sat in front of their lab desk, my legs in between theirs. He just glared at me as he continued writing.

"You're wrong on number seven." I said as he looked up at me.

"I don't think so." He said angrily.

"You are. The answer is not anaphase. It's metaphase." I said. I'd already done this lab: four times. Every time I moved to a new school and tried to finish Physics, we did this lab. I hated it. It got quite annoying after a while. He looked at me and then erased his answer. Ha. Point for me, I was right.

"You're good—have you done this before?" Bella asked conversationally. I nodded and took out my collection of Physics note for the past year and a half. She whistled and looked them over. I took them back and put them in my bag. We finished and I went back to my seat. After class, I went to my next and last class—English. I walked in and looked towards my seat and to my surprise; the boy was sitting in front of my seat.

"Umm…can I help you?" I asked, walking over. He looked at me and spoke slowly.

"Stay away from my family, and stay away from Bella."

"…excuse me?"

"Just stay away from us: all of us. Ok? Thanks." He said and got up and walked to his seat. I was in shock. What the hell? I was going to see and talk to Bella all I wanted. Just to spite him. After class, I walked to the gym where I knew Bella's last class was. I walked to the changing rooms, so I would catch her. She came out and I shanghaied her.

"Hey, Bella, do you want to do something today?"

"Umm…I don't know…"

"You're my only like…acquaintance, friend type person. I really want to become your friend for real."

"Umm, I'm supposed to be making dinner and stuff—"

"Please?" I asked, pleading with her. She sighed and looked at me.

"Sure. I'll call my dad and tell him. We can do something."

"How about dinner? My dad owns the new restaurant that just opened in Port Angeles. That's why I moved here, really. It's nice. It's this little Italian place called Ciao Bella."

"Sounds nice. And we don't have school tomorrow so we won't have to rush." she said smiling. I smiled back and laughed.

"That's right." I giggled out. "Maybe you could…sleep over or something. That's what girlfriends do, right?" I said, as we walked out towards the gym. She laughed and nodded. She looked up and all trace of laughter was gone. They boy was standing in front of her and me, with a death glare at both of us.

"Edward…"

"Come on Bella. We're going."

"But Edward—"

"Now." He said, and dragged her away. Thank the Lord and Lady we exchanged numbers. I'd call her later.

Break In Time

"Hi, is Chass there?" I asked, twiddling the phone cord in my fingers as I dangled over the arm of the couch.

"Yeah, hold on. Chass! Phone for you!" Amie called. Chass was my best friend in the whole world. Chastity Meterra, or Chass, had been my best friend for years. She had been the one I had kept in contact with ever since my first move to Texas. She lived in Maine, my home state. She came down the stairs; I could hear here through the phone and snagged it from her sister.

"Hey! I was wondering when I would hear from you."

"Yeah, it's been a while. How've you been? How's Cedric?" I asked, picking up my toast from the coffee table. Cedric was her dog. The cutest thing you'd ever see…a husky puppy.

"He's good. He just had his birthday a few weeks ago. But anyways—you heard from Kate recently?"

Kate or KT was our other best friend. She moved a month or so before me to Georgia. I missed her.

"Come to think of it—no. She hasn't called and…our friend-versary is coming up soon…." I said. KT never missed our friend-versary, never. I sighed as a call beeped in on my phone.

"Put that on hold, Chass, I have a beep." I flash over, "Hello?"

"Hey, Alex…it's Bella."

"Hey Bells, can you hold on?"

"Sure."

I flash over again. I heard Chass on the other end.

"No! Give me—Cedric—give me my shoe! Please! Oh no! Those are my good shoes--!"

"Chass—I have to go!"

"Wha—what?"

"I'll call you later. Ok? Bye Chass."
"Bye 'Lex." Her end goes dead and Bella gets on automatically.

"Bella—I'm here."

"Hey—is it alright if Edward comes with us?"

"Who?"

"Edward…he's kind of….my boyfriend."

"Oh—you mean Mr. Death Glare?"

"Yeah, sorry about that."

"Umm…He can come, but he can't stay over. Only you can or my dad will flip."

"I sympathize. I'll tell him. We'll pick you up in his car."

"Umm…I can drive…"

"No, we'll pick you up." She said. I could almost feel her smile though the phone.

"Alright. I'll see you in a little while, Bella. I have to go—I have to change. Bye."
"Bye Alex."

And that was how it all started. With one little trip to Port Angeles, my whole life, my whole existence, got turned inside out and upside down
