A/N: Hey Y'all...this is my first Twilight fanfic so sorry if anyone is OOC..or something's wrong...if I need to fix something let me know. I decided to give Bella the power to look and act like a human because...she simply wouldn't be Bella without those things. Plus it's part of the plot.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Twilight, But I do however Own Roxy, Max, Carmen, and William. Their pictures are on my profile. The only thing is they all have gold eyes like the Cullens…the pictures don't show that.
Enjoy!
Bella rolled over in her soft bed and groaned. Maybe if I just lie here, Roxy will think I'm still asleep, she thought over and over. However she was wrong. Bella heard soft, slow footsteps before the vampire began to shake her violently.
You see Roxanne (Roxy) was a vampire, along with Bella and the rest of her 'family'.
How could a vampire, like Bella, sleep you ask? Well Bella is a very special vampire. She has the speed, strength, endurance, and immortality of a vampire. As a vampire, she had long brown hair, deep golden eyes, and was beautiful beyond compare. She had powers, like certain vampires, but hers was very different. She could have conversations with others through thinking, but she could also change her appearance to look and act like a human.
As a human, she had deep brown eyes, long brown hair; she was still unmistakably beautiful, although she didn't think so. She slept and cried and blushed, just like a normal person. This was the most comfortable for her, so that's how she usually looked and acted.
She lived with four other vampires, Roxy and Maxwell (Max or Maxie when Bella and Roxy wanted to irritate him) were her 'siblings', and Carmen and William were her 'parents'. Both couples were married, Bella, however, was alone.
Her memories from her human life disappeared once she was turned into a vampire, she has no recollection of her human life, or who changed her. According to William and Carmen, they found her in the middle of her transformation in a forest just north of Seattle about 20 years ago, alone. Now they lived in Salem, Oregon.
"Wake up sunshine," Roxanne said cheerfully. Her blonde curls bouncing on her shoulders as she shook Bella, her deep golden eyes full of amusement.
"No," Bella muttered, rolling over so her back was toward Roxanne. Roxanne rolled her eyes and pulled Bella's legs, causing them both to fall on the floor.
"Roxy," Bella groaned getting up off the floor, "It's only nine on a Saturday, I'm going back to bed." Before she could get to the bed, Roxanne turned Bella to face her and shook her head. Ginning brightly she said,
"Bella don't you remember? William's old friends, the Cullens, are coming over at noon. Hurry up and get ready, I hear the one of them, Edward I think, is single," she winked and walked toward the door. "Oh, and don't go back to sleep," she warned before walking back to her room.
Bella rolled her eyes and walked toward her bathroom to take a shower.
Bella POV
I let the hot water consume me as I thought about the meeting we would be having with these other vampires later tonight.
Cullen, Edward Cullen. Why does that sound so familiar to me?
Suddenly, as I was about to turn of the water, a flashback hit me like a truck.
FLASHBACK
I was sitting at a table full of humans in what looked like a high school cafeteria. The girl in front of me was talking quietly, answering a question I didn't hear.
"And that's Edward Cullen. He's gorgeous of course, but don't waste your time. He doesn't date. Apparently none of the girls here are good looking enough for him," the girl said.
I turned to see who exactly she was talking about and saw a family of five, unquestionably beautiful, vampires. There was a beautiful blonde girl holding the hand of a big, muscular male, a pixie-like girl with short spiky hair holding the hand of a smaller blond haired male, and the last one was the most beautiful male I had ever seen. He had smoldering golden eyes and messy bronze hair. He looked at me and I quickly returned my gaze to the girl in front of me, for fear of the fact that I was probably blushing.
END FLASHBACK
The scene faded and I heard the bathroom door open quickly.
"Bella? Are you alright," I heard Roxy's frantic calls from in front of the shower curtain. I looked down and noticed that, during my flashback, I had fallen in the shower, probably causing a thud.
"Yes I'm fine. Let me get dressed and I'll tell you what happened," I heard the bathroom door close quickly before I turned off the now cold water and stepped out of the shower. Once I had blow dried my hair and gotten dressed in a simple dark blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans, I walked downstairs to the living room to find my family watching some kind of weird TV show.
They turned it off as soon as I made my loud appearance; I tripped on the last step and tumbled forward, and waited for me to explain why I fell in the bathroom earlier. I sat down next to Roxy and sighed.
"I think I knew the Cullens before I became a vampire," they looked at me like I was going another head. Which, I must say, wasn't very reassuring.
"What are you talking about Bells," Max asked, running a hand through his black hair.
"I was thinking about the name Edward Cullen while I was in the shower because I thought I had heard that name before and all of a sudden I-"
"Wait, wait, wait," Carmen interrupted me, pulling her red hair back into a pony-tail, "You were thinking about Edward Cullen, while you were in the shower?" I heard Roxy and Max chuckle next to me. I took the couch pillow that was next to me and chucked it at her head.
"Shut up," I muttered before continuing, "as I was saying, I got this weird flashback. I think I was in a high school cafeteria and there was a human girl in front of me, talking about Edward Cullen and how he doesn't date."
"Hm," William said. I saw his lips move but I heard nothing, I realized then, I was having another flashback.
A/N: Hope you liked it! I will probably have another chapter up ASAP, I have a lot typed up, so I should be updating pretty frequently.
As a side note...I don't actually own a Twilight book (sadly I had to borrow a friend's in order to read it, I plan on getting my a copy right after I buy Breaking Dawn) so I don't actually know if the flashback is messed up or not. Sorry if it is. Please review, constructive criticism is welcome, constructive being the key word there.
Preview from next chapter...
"Bella," Roxy said, grabbing my arm and pulling me up from the couch, "Let's go pick out a nice dress for you to wear," I groaned, but followed anyway, knowing she would just end up forcing me into it.
