A/N: I've been on Fanfiction before, I've gotten into typing a story then shortly after stopped. I guess we can say college go in the way, but I've graduated so I can be full time on here. I hope you enjoy my take of this Twilight story, I own nothing from Twilight. All credit goes to Stephenie Meyer. Bella has already been at the school for a few months, she and Edward are already a "thing."

The Discovery

*POV Unknown*

-Past-

I remember walking, it was mid-afternoon if anything. My parents were both behind me, since the high altitude made it harder for them to breath. They's always wanted to hike Mt. Saint Helen, at least close enough for us to see the tip of the currently forming lava dome. Fresh snow had fallen over the mountain, I fell to the ground writing my name in the snow. Also waiting for my parents to catch up, I looked behind me a smile on my lips.

"Elizabeth -honey- stop running ahead of us. We don't know if there are other people up here. Also the wildlife around." My mother said quietly, she nestled into my dad's shoulder. We were dressed warmly, but nothing had us ready for the temperature. Being from sunny California, people think they know everything.

"I know mom, but it's so exciting. Plus there's snow!" I grinned, my father laughed.

"Elizabeth is fine dear, as long as she stays in our eyesight." He said sternly, I straightened up. Nothing scared me like my dad, I stood up and brushed the snow off myself.

"Let's keep moving." I said, taking a step in the direction of the mountain.

"She's right Daisy, sunset is in a few hours. I don't want to be up here at night."

"According to the map, we should be able to see it. With all this fresh snow it'll be hard, I knew this was a trip to take during summer."

"You say every trip is a summer trip." I said rolling my eyes while laughing, my dad couldn't help but chuckle. I heard my mom groan at my remark, she knew I was right. I even know I was right, why fight something that's true. I turned around to walk backwards, I looked at my dad his eyes wide his hands motioned me to come towards him. I stumbled into him, he put me behind him and my mom.

I looked at what my dad was afraid of, in front of us was a man who wasn't dressed for winter at all. He was about 6ft, with light tanned skin, his hair was a sandy blonde shoulder length. I looked at him closer, his eyes were red… crimson red. I gulped my fear, and slowly backed away. Something about this man gave me chill, I crept into the brush hiding. Hoping I could get away, I stared at my parents.

"We don't want any troub…" My eyes opened wide, the red eye man was close to my father. Grabbing him by the throat, the red eye man effortlessly lifted. My hands covered my mouth to hide my scream, only to hear my mom scream. I turned around, and slowly took off towards the bottom of the mountain.

PoV Elizabeth

It's been three years, and I'm still hiding from him. Everytime I sleep I can see my death, I have a feeling he's watching me. I've never lived in a town longer than a year, so I've been taking online classes. Up till now, I've felt safe enough to stay in this small town of Forks, Washington. With a population of 3,000 I think I should be safe. I moved into an apartment, small but perfect for me. My next mission was enrolling in Forks High School.

Rubbing my eyes I rolled over in bed. Looking at the clock I saw it was 5:45 am, groaning I rolled onto my back. Staring at the ceiling I knew my past was a nightmare, that whole day was a nightmare. Why couldn't it just go away, I know talking to someone would help me. Too bad everyone would think I was crazy, who would believe me about vampires. Finally willing the courage I pulled myself out of bed, I felt my muscles protest. I shuffled to the tiny bathroom, turning the light on I looked in the mirror I dyed my hair a bright red color. Originally black, I couldn't stand seeing it anymore, I could see my mother in me. I disliked that, so I made a change. I didn't like that I had to dye it every couple of months, but that didn't matter. Still staring at the mirror I blinked away the sleep. My blue/green eyes shined, the only thing I couldn't change. I had my mother's hair and my father's eyes.

I jumped into the shower, letting the hot water run over me I feel myself relaxing. Stepping out I dry my hair, brush my teeth, and apply my regular amount of makeup. I know black eyeliner and mascara make my eyes pop, and today I want to make a good impression. After all it is my first year of public school in three years, as well as first day of being a junoir. I walk into my room, with the towel still around me. I pull on a pair of panties, and a matching bra. Then step into a pair of dark blue ripped skinny jeans, pulling on a white camisole and a green plaid shirt. I decided to wear my black high top vans. Looking at the clock I see it's 6:45, grabbing my backpack and jacket I run out the door.

I start heading in the direction of the school, my mind is going a mile a minute. 'What will the other kids think of me.' and 'My hair is sooo going to get me kicked out.' I find myself at a door labeled "1" taking a deep breath I walk inside. To my right is the main office, so I step inside bells jingle on the door. Walking over to the desk I see a redhead women typing away at her keyboard.

"Good morning." I say quietly, she looks up. Her mouth drops open, and her eyebrows shoot up. I feel myself blush, because I knew how she'd react next.

"My goodness did some cherries fall on your head?" She asked loud, I look at the ground taking a deep breath.

"No, I'd like my class schedule I'm new here."

"What's your name cherr- I mean dearie." She catches herself, and I knew she'd be shooting emails to my new teachers. Probably telling them to 'keep an eye' on me.

"Elizabeth Tucker." I said, hiding my groan at her pathetic catch.

"Okay Miss. Tucker, here go you. I've also added a map of the school, your homeroom class in located in this building on the 2nd floor. Get your teachers to sign this paper, and bring it back to me at the end of the day."

"Thank you, have a nice day." I say walking out the door. The bells jingle again, and I rolled my eyes. Looking at my schedule my first class is English in room 206. Looking around I see a sign for stairs, I walk towards it.

"Hey! You're new here, my names Eric. I can be anything you need me to be -future lover, shoulder to cry on- anything." He laughed, and I looked at him. Quick up and down, he had at least 3 inches on me, his hair was a soft black and long, he has fair looking skin, he dressed like an average teenager.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth or Liza. Nice to meet you." I gave him a soft smile.

"Likewise, so where are you heading off to this nice day. Seriously it can be a lot worse than this." He laughed, and I joined him. He looked at my schedule, his eyes lite up. "We have two classes, and lunch together. You can meet my "amazing" friends. You actually might meet them in some of your classes, now that I think of it. Small school, and class size."

"Sounds like a plan,does anything happen in this school?"

"Well we did get another new student in October. Her name is Bella, you'll meet her in your Biology class. She has this thing with a guy named Edward Cullen. It's weird, at first he hadn't noticed anyone now he's all about Bella." Eric said throwing his arms everywhere, I coughed to hide my laugh.

"So I'm going to be old news pretty quickly." I joked, and looked at the door we had stopped by. "This is my stop."

"I'll meet you here after class, we have 2nd period together."

"I'll hold you to it. I feel like I'm going to get lost pretty quickly." I waved Eric good-bye, and walked into the classroom.

I walked up to the teacher, whose name I had forgotten. He looked at me a gave me a gentle smile, his eyes filled with delight.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth Tucker. You can call me Liza please." I said shoving my hands into my jean pockets.

"Good morning Liza, I'm Mr. Greenaway. Here is a list of books we've covered, and we'll be riding in class. The library have all these books there, I suggest you get them quickly. There's an open seat next to Angela, she'll help you as well get caught up in what we're covering today in class." I look at the girl Mr. Greenaway pointed to, giving a small smile I head back towards her. Angela looks friendly, her brown eyes were hidden by glasses, she had dark brown -almost black- hair pulled into a messy bun, she wore a hoodie with some band on it. I slid into the seat next to her, she looked at me her eyes frozen on my hair color.

"I know not your everyday color." I sighed, looking at her she dropped her eyes.

"Yeah small town, you'll get noticed quickly. I didn't believe Eric when he said we were getting ANOTHER new student." She whispered, trying to not let Mr. Greenaway hear us.

"It's cool. I'm Liza." I offered her my hand, and she shook it.

"Nice to meet you,obviously I'm Angela. You've met my boyfriend Eric already." She blushed bright red at the word 'boyfriend.'

"Aww, new couple?" I asked, and she could only nod still blushing bright red.

After 1st period, I had history with Ms. Crimsha. There I met the most annoying girl ever Lauren, I already wanted to punch her in the face. All she could talk about was this guy in La Push, and how she couldn't wait to hook up with him. BLAH BLAH BLAH BARF! 3rd period was different Eric and Angela were in my class. It was calculus with Mr. Teets, and I couldn't focus at all because of the new couple next to me. Making fun of their small gestures was very entertaining, and at least they were pretty cool with it. After 4th period was lunch, I met Mike, and Jessica. Mike couldn't take his eyes off me, and Jessica was shooting daggers at me the whole time. I looked around the cafeteria and spotted a table with six people, five were very pale and the sixth was olive toned.

"Angela who are they? They aren't eating anything." I asked making a unnoticeable gesture to said table.

"That's Emmett, Alice, and Edward Cullen, Jasper and Rosalie Hale, as well as Bella Swan. The Cullens are all related, but Jasper and Rosalie are their adopted siblings. Not to mention Emmett and Rosalie, Jasper and Alice are like a couple…"

"It's really weird, Bella kept staring at Edward the first day she saw them. Like who knew she'd be the one to hook Edward. I didn't." Jessica cut off Angela, but no one seemed to care. I rolled my eyes, and snuck another look. They all had deep yellow eyes, except Bella her eyes were brown. I shrugged it off; being related I get the matching eyes, but being adopted with matching eyes too much. Glacing one more time I saw their full details, Alice had brown hair in a pixie cut, Jasper's hair was blonde and kind of wild. Emmett had almost a buzz cut of brown hair, Rosalie had long blonde hair. Edward's hair was a copper color, and it kind of stuck up a little. Bella had long brown hair as well.

After lunch I moved to my 5th period class, which was Spanish 4. I understood Spanish, I liked Spanish I just disliked Señor Ortiz. 6th period was biology, there I met up with Mike again. I mentally groaned since I was forced to sit next to him. I saw Edward and Bella walk in right before the bell rung. The teacher Mr. Brown started the lecture quickly, and there I slowly drowned out. I was free after 6th period, so I quickly walked to the main office and dropped off the signature sheet then left the school.

"Don't worry Liza only a few more months of this place." I said to myself, before walking out of the school.

A/N: I hope you like the intro chapter. I know it's slow going, it'll pick up I promise. I tried to keep things the same. Mike and Jessica will get a better intro in the next chapter, but for now you get this. I hinted something in this chapter as well, if you catch it you get a cookie.

-Happy New Year-
