THERE'S A WITCH IN FORKS
SUMMARY -
Bella looks like an average human. Only she's not human. She's a witch. What will the Cullens do when they realize they're not the only mythical cratures in Forks? How will they deal when they find out Jasper and Bella are soulmates? Rated T- just in case
AUTHOR'S NOTE -
I thought it'd be interesting if the Cullens had someone of their own "world," in a sense, in their town.
Renee's a witch. She hid that fact and we'll get into that throughout the story.

CHAPTER 1 - The Soulmate Principle
BELLA'S POV
Forks, Washington. My hometown. The place where my mother, Renee, fled when my witch powers were kicking in. She didn't want my father, Charlie, knowing. It would only cause him suffering, especially to be around newborn witch who was just acquiring her powers. My mom taught me everything I know then gave up on the Craft. Many people think witches are bad people but really, witchcraft is a religion. There are two types of magick - white magick and black magick. We only ever perform white magick. Black magick is very tricky. Karma comes back to get you after.
"Bella, you start school tomorrow. Everything's set up for you. You should probably head to bed. School starts early." My father said before heading up to his room. I figured that I could make myself a bless my good luck bracelet before going to bed. Being a witch didn't make me any less clumsy. The more luck I had, the better my day would be. It was a silver bracelet with many charms on it. There was a silver ring with amethyst gems, a half moon, and many other charms representing other gods and goddesses. I was glad tonight was a full moon. I decided to say a chant to bring me good luck.
"To the moon to the sun to the skies to the water stars let your fires burn winds let your strength grow let us unite let me shine bright." I said with empowerment, facing the full moon. I soon fell asleep. I dreamt of a stange breed of vampires. They looked like normal vampires but their eyes were a different color. Come morningtime, I couldn't remember the color.
I woke up to rain patting against the window and showered for my first day. I dressed in a creme colored sleeveless top with lace decorating it, dark wash skinny jeans and nude colored heels. I put on some red lipstick on my lips and smiled at how I looked. I had been brought up to embrace being a witches. All witches were confident and extremely beautiful. If I ever felt insecure, I always would say a chant that will boost my self-confidence. I finished my makeup by putting on black eyeliner pulling it past my eye slightly creating a wing and added mascara. I grabbed a black jacket that sinches at the waist and slung my bag over my shoulder, while shaking my brown curls out. I descended the stairs carefully though I didn't need to. I could walk perfectly in heels ; it was odd. (I can actually do that. XD) I popped in a Hot Pocket in the microwave and waited for it to warm up.
"Have a first day at school, Bells. I added a key to the house onto your car keys." Charlie said as he left for work. Charlie was the police chief in this small town of Forks. He loved his job more than anything.
"Thanks, Dad!" I called out. I looked at the time and saw I didn't have much time to get there, find a parking spot and be able to find my class. I sprang up and rushed to my rusty old truck. I parked next to a shiny silver volvo. I walked into the office and spoke to a woman named Mrs. Cope. I got all my information and headed to class. There were boys watching me in every single one of my classes. I kept to myself and went to lunch after the bell. I sat at a table alone until a blonde haired girl with topaz colored eyes came up to me with a blond male, a musular male with curly hair, a black-haired pixie and a bronze-haired male. They all had the same look but they were obviously not related. Vampires. They had to be. But they looked different. I'd have to look into vampires with topaz colored eyes instead of red ones.
"You're sitting at our table." She snapped.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize." I said standing up.
"Stupid human." She whispered low enough that human ears wouldn't be able to catch it.
"I wouldn't be insulting, vampire. And for your information, I'm not a human." I shot back. They all shared a look and the short black-haired one looked blank.
"Vision?" I asked. They looked surprised but nodded.
The girl came back and smiled. "We're going to be best friends!" I tried using my witch essence to see any signs of false pretenses and found none. I let my guard down and let my shield open.
"I can read your thoughts now." The bronze-haired one said astounded.
"Oh, I'm a mental shield. I can block people from my mind." I smiled. He looked amazed. (Edward isn't tempted by her blood since she's technically not human)
"Why don't you sit with us and we can talk?" Asked the psychic.
"I'd love to." I answered, sitting down. She came to sit by me with the blond male on her other side. The blonde who spoke to me sat accross from me with muscle man next to her and the bronze-haired one in between us.
"I'm Alice. This is my boyfriend, Jasper. The other blonde is Rosalie and pardon me for her rudeness. The male next to her is her boyfriend Emmett and the one next to you is Edward." She said.
"I'm Bella Swan." I turned to the one named Edward and asked him, "Where's your girlfriend?"
The one named Emmett burst into laughter at my question. I looked at Alice questioningly.
"Edward doesn't have a girlfriend but he seems interested in you enough." She smiled. I turned to look at him and he glared at her. Jasper looked toward Edward with anger. I wasn't sure why but I could feel a connection with Jasper. I looked over at him and he met my gaze. I felt like a thin but strong cord connected between us tightening. We smiled at each other, a look of recognization running through us. One word was running through my mind : Soulmates. My mother had just recently found her soulmate so it wasn't all too surprising that I found mine so quickly and easily. I was still surprised though. Who would have thought returning to this small town that I would find my forever, that I would find the sole purpose of my exsistance? The rest of the Cullens looked at us questioningly. Alice blanked out again and came to very quickly. She looked sad at first then she looked over at Jasper and rubbed his forearm.
"I'm happy for you, Jasper. Be happy." She said. She then turned to me, "You'll be good for each other."
Emmett and Rosalie shared a look. "What's going on, Edward?" Emmett asked.
"I think Bella could answer that better than I could." Edward answered.
All eyes were on me and I reluctently looked away from Jasper.
"For witches, there's this thing called the Soulmate principle. It's been occuring in my family most frequently. It's basically when two people - one is usually a witch or a lost witch - have a connection, almost. It's a sudden thing and there really is nothing to prevent it. You can't choose your soulmate. It's either there or isn't. Once you find your other half, there's an automatic connection. Once you look into their eyes long enough, there's almost like a thin yet strong cord holding you together, keeping you bonded. There isn't a possible way to break it. With the cord and looking into each other's eyes, you can see their whole being. You're able to tell when they're lying, when they're upset. You find out every secret they've ever had and they find out yours. Even if two soulmates look into each other's eyes for a few minutes, recognization passes through both of them and they can't help but smile. After all, who wouldn't be happy when they've found their soulmates?" I said dreamily.
"That's so sweet!" Alice gushed.
"You're losing Jasper and you're happy about it?" Rosalie questioned.
"I'm not losing him. Jasper and I will always be friends. His soulmate's here and I'm not going to keep them apart. It must be a horrible feeling to lose your soulmate and I want them to be happy." Alice answered, holding one of my hands and one of Jasper's. "They can always be together and be happy." She joined his and my hand together and a spark ran through us. I was startled since I wasn't expecting it. I looked at our intertwined hands and looked up at Jasper. My Jasper. He looked back at me and smiled. I couldn't help but return it. There was a blush running through my cheeks, making them rosy.
"I'm happy for you and all but I'm gonna puke." Emmett joked. I laughed at that and reluctently recoiled my hand from the coldness of his touch.
"Which one of your parents is a which?" Edward asked.
"My mother. She left my father here when I was young. My powers were just kicking in and a young witch can be troublesome. It's very dangerous and my mom didn't want to risk anything."
"Has she found her soulmate?" Alice asked.
I smiled, "Yes, she did. They just got married and I moved here with my father to let them have their time as newlyweds. He's a witch too - a lost witch."
"What's a lost witch?" Jasper asked. I smiled hearing his voice for the first time. He had a Southern twang. I loved it.
"A lost witch is a witch that's unaware of their witch powers. Either their family didn't continue their family trees for whatever reason or they were lost to their magick along the way. In Phil's case, his great-great-great grandmother was put up for adoption and that caused him to be unaware of his heritage. I luckily had my Nan to help me growing up. My mother's always been a free-spirit, so-to-speak. I'm happy that I was never lost. I love being a witch too much." I laughed. I turned to Alice, "Do you know anything about your.. human life? If you're not comfortable with any memories from your past, it's understandable and you don't have to tell me."
She smiled, "No, it's okay. I don't remember anything."
"I know a bit if you'd like to hear it. I can feel it in your essence." I said, taking hold of her hand. She nodded enthusiastically. "You're a witch. A lost witch. I can feel your powers seeping through. They're very strong. I think that's why you have visions."
"That's awesome!" She exclaimed. "Would you be willing to help me with my powers?"
"I'd love to, Alice. But we have to go shopping first." I smiled.
"I find out that I'm a witch and my new best friend wants to go shopping. Could this day get any better?" Alice yelled out, causing many people to look at us.
"Alice, tone it down a little." Edward laughed.
"This pixie gets overexcited easily." Emmett chuckled.
"It's perfectly normal. All witches are like that, lost ones more than the others. By far." I chimed in.
"Finally! Someone understands!" Alice chirped.
"Why don't you come to our house after school so we can all get to know each other? I'm sure Carlisle would love to know that we're not the only mythical creatures in Forks anymore." Rosalie spoke.
"I'd love to. Thank you." I smiled. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. "Merry meet and merry meet again." I smiled as I walked away looking for my next class. I had English and my Jasper was in my class. That class flew by as did the rest of my classes. Before I knew it, I was walking toward my truck ready to go to the Cullens'.
A blonde boy with bright blue eyes came up to me. "Um, hi. I'm Mike Newton. You're the new girl, Isabella, right?"
"Bella." I smiled.
He smiled back, "Bella. It fits. Well anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to.. um.. go out with me sometime?" As he said that, Emmett was behind him and making faces causing me to smile and fight back laughter. The boy in front of me seemed more hopeful and I soon realized my mistake.
"Oh. Thank you, but I have to decline your offer." I said apologetically.
"Oh, I see. Boyfriend already?" He frowned.
I smiled at that since Jasper was behind him now. "Something like that." I beamed.
"Hey Bells!" Emmett called out to me before Mike could reply. I waved over at him and he, Jasper, Rosalie and Edward walked toward us.
"I see you've met the Cullens." Mike muttered annoyed.
"Yes, I have. Now I'm not going to talk to you ever again if you're annoyed with my choice of friends. As far as I'm concerned, you have no right to. You don't even know me, thank you." I snapped. Emmett and Edward let out some chuckles and Rosalie smiled at my defending them.
"It's not that it's just.." Mike was cut off by Edward wrapping his arm around my waist. I looked at him quizically and he winked at me, wanting me to play along.
"Mikey here's just jealous because I got to you before he did." Edward stated.
I giggled and Mike's mouth opened in surprise. "Not true! You can have any girl you want so why her?"
"I could ask you the same question." Jasper asked, taking my hand. I smiled at the way his hand felt in mine.
"Aren't you with Alice?" Mike asked.
As if being called, Alice skipped over to where we were standing. "No. Jasper and I are best friends. We're like brother and sister!" She looked back at Jasper and I and smiled. "Jasper and Bella are together."
"Now scurry along. We have important things to do, none of which involves you." Rosalie spat toward Mike.
Mike got the hint and ran along with his tail between his legs while Emmett gaffawed loudly.
"That was surly something." I laughed, joining Emmett.
Alice giggled, "Come on. Let's head over to our house. Esme's going to love you!"
