"Lizzy… you'd better be here, or I swear I'll mangle you to teeny tiny pieces by myself…" I called out, scowling.

"Coming, coming! Sheesh; no reason to threaten me about it." Lizzy floated in, her face fixed in a playful scowl.

Lizzy was my best friend and part of my coven of angels. You see, Lizzy and the rest of my coven are real angels. Not just named that, but the real, mythological angels. We keep the races of mythologicals and human population even. We kill immortals when needed, which is every time we come across a coven of them. We are typically feared, because every time a coven sees us we bring death along as well. Of course, we're not supposed to be evil, just good to the human race and 'murderers' supposedly to the mythological race. Yes, elves, fairies, dwarves, pixies, unicorns, dragons, goblins, witches, wizards, ogres, vampires and werewolves. They were all real and thriving in the world in which humans lived. However, vampires and werewolves, were, by far, the most common species of them all.

We, the angels, had to kill one mythological creature every round. A round was every one hundred years or fifty years. We only left the best of the best mythological creature to live every round. That's actually a pretty short time for us immortals, as it is for me, the last two hundred fifty years or so.

It was our first day of school at Forks High, and I wasn't going to enjoy it, to say the least. The humans were way too abundant, and sometimes it was dangerous to be out during the sunlight. That's why Lizzy and I were in Forks, Washington, one of the rainiest places in the world. Most species were in these un-light places as well, because they had revealing problems in the sunlight as well.

I hissed to Alexis quickly, "Come on, we have to go."

She nodded and told the three others than Lizzy, I and herself. My group consisted of six angels.

I, Bella Swan (my real name is Swan but I'm going with Chen, as I shapeshifted myself to look Chinese), am a female. Obviously. Would you think I was a male? Now I would be truly disappointed if you thought that. My age is two hundred fifty seven, and I've seen 2 rounds and am on my third round so far. I have the powers of a mental shield, it blocks other immortals from my mind and my coven's mind. Also, I have telekinesis and shapeshifting, which I use every time we switch around. Telekinesis is helpful to keep those immobile at times, and shapeshifting helps so that immortals cannot recognize us. Most immortals have long memories. My real look is wavy almost waist-length brown hair with brown eyes and a slim figure, but I've changed myself this round to look like a Chinese girl with black hair (straight), brown eyes, high cheekbones and a slim figure.

Elizabeth Hailson is Lizzy's real name, but she is Lizzy Ashworth this round, and my 'adopted sister'. I made her look younger than me, but old enough for classes at the high school. Her real hair color is a curly dirty blonde color to her shoulders, with high cheekbones and blue eyes, and a slim figure. However, this turn I've changed her to have brown hair with light brown highlights, wavy hair and brown eyes. Her face is angular, and she has a slim figure. She is a female (obviously) and has seen 2 rounds, and this is her second round. She is two hundred twelve years old, and can cause pain in your head. I am immune to this, as are those I choose to protect.

Alexandra Loftson is Alexis' real name. This round she is Alexis Doberson, and Lizzy's 'twin sister'. She is really a tall brunette with hair down to her waist and striking blue eyes, with a slim figure. This turn the only change is that she has brown eyes instead of blue and an angular face, like 'Lizzy'. Alexis is a female and one hundred ninety six years old; she has seen 2 rounds and is on her second round. She has the powers of mind control which I am immune to if I want to so be, and can mask scents to make us have no scent or be harder to track. Her mate is Joseph Aphens.

Joseph Aphens is, simply, Joseph. This round his name is Joseph Kingsley, my 'adopted brother'. His hair is normally a mop of brown and bronze, with green eyes and a muscular figure. This turn he is blonde, though his hairstyle is the same, with green eyes and a muscular figure. He is one hundred ninety six, as is Alexis, and has seen 2 rounds and is on his second round. He is obviously male and can freeze time for certain immortals or humans if he wants it to be. His mate is Alexis.

Andrew Wang is a male, and is aged one hundred fifty nine. This round his name is Andrew Borgham, and Joseph's 'brother'. He is a physical shield and has a bow and arrow, which are very helpful at times. These aren't ordinary, but specially used for getting rid of immortals. He is normally black-haired with brown eyes, with a muscular figure. This turn he is a blonde-haired boy with straight hair, green eyes and a muscular figure and has seen 2 rounds, and this is his second round. His mate is Christine.

Christine Qi is a female who is one hundred twenty five years old. She has black hair and brown eyes, with a slim figure. She is very short, at a height of five feet, when she has been frozen at age eighteen. She is named Christine Liu and has black waist-length hair and brown eyes with a slim, short figure the same height as she is. She looks pretty much the same, except her waist length hair is longer than normal. Her special ability is that she can touch someone with her palms and know forever (because immortals never forget anything) where their current location is. Her mate is Andrew.

We had decided we were driving to school in my Lamborghini and Andrew's Ultimate Aero. He had a knack for speed, even though we lived quite far from the high school. We were paired off as me driving in my car with Alexis and Joseph, and Andrew driving his car with Christine and Lizzy. On the way, we passed a huge white house. It looked like one that a vampire might use, so I made a mental note in my mind to check it out after school today. Not that I really needed it; my photographic mind could remember anything after so much as one glance.

I pushed the speed limit of my car, and Andrew and I were on.

When we finally arrived at the high school, I was giggling and panting, and Andrew was chuckling. We pulled in, and many students gaped openly at our cars. They were surprised, as usual. I noted that there were two other cars that must've costed close enough to ours, the Volvo and the Porsche. One was a crème that I admitted I liked, and the other a bright yellow that hurt my eyes quite a bit. I didn't like that one. They were both, however, definitely vampire styles though. No other species would dare go out to a public school.

I nodded silently to the rest of my coven, signaling with my eyes to stay quiet and alert. We would know these vampires quite easily during the school day. We would meet them, and track them. I hoped Christine could get the chance to touch one of them, so we would know where they went.

School started.

. . . . .

I was in my second class when I met him. He was obviously a vampire; his pale skin and cold touch proved that. However, his eyes were a brilliant golden shade of topaz, a color I had seen only once before on a vampire. I wondered mentally whether his whole family was like this or not. I hoped they were. Sometimes my coven and I spared the golden-eyed ones who drank animal blood; but only very rarely were we allowed to.

He must've been confused, his eyes were switching from confusion to frustration. Probably wondering why I didn't have a scent. 'I'll meet you at you're house this afternoon' I mouthed to him.

If that was possible, his eyes stretched wider. I smirked.

When the class was over, I collected my things and ran quickly out of the room.

. . . . .

I hastily met up with Christine and the rest of my coven – family, I guess – at the end of the school day.

"Did you get to touch one of them?" I asked, very much in a hurry.

"Yes, sheesh, Bella. No need to get overly excited to slaughter a vampire." She rolled her eyes.

"You know that's not it, Christine. And plus, they're strange. Golden-eyed ones, we may be able to spare them."

Christine's eyes brightened up at the possible prospect.

"Who did you touch?"

"Well, I think there were five kids, and then a 'mom' figure and 'dad' figure," she said, contemplating it for a moment. "Seven. I touched the perky little one. She was even shorter than me! Her name was Alice. She's really nice." Christine nodded.

"I guess we should go now. I can't say I'm not excited, though." I smiled grimly, then turned to our cars. We sped off towards the vampires.

"I guess this is it," I said, looking up at the white house. I knew it was something to be noted. Christine had guided us to the place. We pulled our cars up, and walked forward. I knocked on the door. Being the leader, I was in the best place to do that when introducing us to another mythological coven.

A man about looking about thirty opened the door, looking pleasantly surprised. I scoffed. "Please don't do that. I know you guys are awesome actors, but there's no need. You most definitely heard us a mile away."

I let myself in the house, my coven following behind.

"Who are you?" The man asked, looking quite bewildered. I'm sure not many 'humans' came around saying that they were lying all the time.

"Who are you?" I asked, then smirked. "I'm Isabella; Bella Swan. It's my real name, but I'm supposed to be Bella Chen." I got rid of my shapeshifted form, and turned my family back to their normal selves. "This is Elizabeth, she likes to be called Lizzy," I pointed to Lizzy. She scowled at me. "This is Alexandra, she gets really mad if you call her it, so call her Alexis," I pointed to Alexis next. "Joseph is him, and Andrew," I pointed to them in turn. Lizzy's scowl deepened as I pointed to each of them in turn. I gave her a innocent smile. She glared. "And this is Christine. She's how we found you. Vampires, right?" I gave him an innocent smile that most couldn't resist.

"Oh…" he looked very surprised at the mention of vampires. "Yes, yes. Come on down, kids." A woman appeared from behind him, and another five vampires thundered down the stairs.

"Gee, no need to be so loud. You are all perfectly capable of being silent." I scowled at the big one (Emmett). "And you heard what we were talking about, so, no need to make more introductions, again."

"Ahem." The leader coughed. "I am Carlisle Cullen, the leader of this coven. This is Esme Cullen, my wife." He put his arms around the caramel haired woman who had appeared behind him a few seconds ago. "This is Jasper, Alice," Jasper nodded, and Alice waved at Christine. Christine waved back, bouncing on the balls of her feet. "And Emmett, Rosalie and Edward." Carlisle waved toward the big one and the one with the blonde hair, who was definitely very beautiful. Last he waved towards Edward. I smirked at him.

"Told you so," I said, grinning.

He looked merely very frightened.

"Now, I believe we have some explaining to do." Carlisle waved us to the sofas at the back of the room.

"Oh, we're fine. We'll stand. It's not as if we need it anyway," I said.

"Well, you know we're vampires, but – "

I cut him off. "Yes, you're animal blood drinkers I know that." I rolled my eyes sarcastically.

"We are angels. It's quite obvious." I glowered at their disbelieving faces. "Fine, let me explain to you. We angels have many special things. After we die, if we had pure souls, we turn into angels. There are many of us in the world. Let me tell you, I wasn't like this all the time. I was plain old Bella Swan. But…" I hesitated. "There are also things that come with being an angel."

"We have super speed, strength and senses, as you do. Our knowledge has no boundaries. We each gain a special ability that is different when we change, and we become immortal at the age we died. Beauty and grace come with the ensemble, as well as a special sword that is fit specially to your personality. Mine is Etsuaga. He's here." I pulled my sword out. He was a golden hilted sword with a very durable metal. He had an aqua-colored true jewel on his hilt, and he was very precious to me.

Emmett's eyes widened as he took it in, as did Carlisle's. Etsuaga was glowing because I had just powered him up with a battle a day ago.

"We don't really have blood, but we have a scent. Angels have wings – and the ability to fly – " I grinned. "Our eyes change color to our emotion, but if we want, we can keep them a certain color; like our shapeshifted eye colors." My eyes were a mixture of neon green and jade, excitement and hesitance. "We become transluscent – see through in the sunlight, and we can get rid of all sadness unless it is infused with your soul. As angels, we have the power to sentence one to death and are part of the National Society for All Things Magical. Oh yes. We must also inform you that we have knowledge that elves, pixies, dwarves, goblins, unicorns, dragons, fairies, witches, wizards, werewolves and vampires all exist. I should know. In fact, I have two dragons myself, and in my coven we have three others. We've left them back at home base though." I sighed. I really liked my dragon, Evanescence and my knew one, Gorinbther. They were both extravagant and very patient and obedient towards me.

"I have a mental shield; that's why Alice, you can't see the future, Edward, you can't read my mind or any of my covens', and Jasper, you can't feel our emotions. I also have telekinesis and shapeshifting. I'm 257 years old."

"I'm Lizzy, and I'm second in command of this coven." She scowled at me playfully. I scowled back and stuck out my tongue for a millisecond. "I'm 212 years old and I can cause mental pain." For some reason, Carlisle flinched.

I was immediately on to him. "What?" I asked, intrigued as to why he flinched when Lizzy told him about her power.

"A member of the Volturi, Jane, can cause mental pain."

"Ah, the Volturi. Very interesting group of vampires. I have met Jane, although her power is nothing compared to Lizzy's." I grinned maliciously.

"Let me finish," Lizzy cut in with a glare and a poke. "I don't have a mate and I hate werewolves. They smell gross."

"You didn't need to add that…" I reminder her.

"I know. I wanted to." She smirked.

I sighed, then turned to Alexis and gestured for her to hurry up and introduce herself to the vegetarian vampires.

"I'm Alexis. I'm 196 and have the special ability of mind control and masking scents. I'm the reason you guys couldn't smell us." She smiled fondly. "My power is quite useful for executing immortals." Not surprisingly, the Cullens froze.

"I'll explain later," I said, then shot Alexis a nasty glare.

She withered.

"I have a mate, he's Joseph," she poked him in the arm playfully.

"Hi, I'm Joseph," Joseph grumbled, glaring at Alexis. "I'm 196 just like Alexis here," he picked Alexis up, swung her around and sat her on his lap. She screamed quietly, playfully. "I can freeze time for certain people and immortals."

Andrew was next. "My name is Andrew. I am 159 years old and have a physical shield and a bow and arrow. These aren't ordinary, and can kill immortals in one blow." He didn't like talking, so he didn't talk much.

"Christine." She bounced on her feet, smiling hugely at Alice. "I'm 125 years old and with one touch I can know that person's current location. That's how we found your house!" She was practically squealing now. "My mate's Andrew." She finally settled down, into (no surprise there) Andrew's lap.

"Now that we're all introduced, let's get down to business…"

A/N: DUNDUNDUNDUN…

What's Bella up to? And what the heck is business?
