Bella is on the run once again from the vampire world; she doesn't trust anyone, especially vampires, so what happens when she moves to forks and finds out that she's not the only vampire there? Will she be able to make a life for herself or will her past finally catch up to her?
Hey guys! Sorry I'm so late with another story but nothing I wrote is going right! I'm still not happy with this and I was going to write the whole thing before I posted it but I just wanted someone's opinion because im not sure whether to carry on or just scrap it… please let me know what you think?
I don't own twilight, nor will I ever
Chapter 1
BPOV
I sighed as I pulled up outside my new house in forks, Washington; I was really getting tired of this life, moving around all the time, not making any friends or talking to anyone really; it was a very lonely life.
I grabbed my bags out of my car and headed inside- I was grateful that the house came fully furnished as it meant I had less stuff to organise; all I had brought was my clothes, and my CD and book collection that I couldn't bear to part with; I didn't really have much in the way of personal possessions, it made moving around easier- over the years I had learnt to travel light.
I was moving into a small two story two bedroom house- I could afford a bigger one if I wanted but what was the point when it was just me? It was a nice modest house though, when you open the door you are immediately in the spacious living room complete with a large sofa, two armchairs, a plasma screen TV and plenty of shelving space. Through a door off to the right was a fairly small kitchen; which was fine by me as I wouldn't be using it. I crossed the room to the staircase, which lead to the second floor. Immediately at the top was the bathroom, next door to which was the master bedroom, down the hall was the second bedroom. I would be using the master bedroom. I started to unpack my things wanting to be quick so that I could fit in time to hunt before starting school in the morning. Sigh. I hated high school but there wasn't much else you could do when you were frozen at seventeen forever; and people tended to get a bit suspicious when you had no parents either so I nearly always pretended to be emancipated; it created less suspicion and the more I blended in the better.
Once I had unpacked I headed out to the woods which were conveniently outside my house. I enjoyed the rush of the hunt, and the running that came along with it; I loved running, I loved the speed but I also loved the sense of peace it gave me. I didn't have to run very far though before I caught the scent of a herd of deer up a head- I wasted no time in draining the biggest one after I saw the sun rising. I was a bit of a freak in the vampire world since I hunted animals and not humans but I couldn't bear to drink human blood, the smell had made me sick when I was human and now I was a vampire it barely appealed to me, so once I heard from of a man named Carlisle Cullen who had discovered we could feed on animals I decided to do the same.
When I got back to my house I noticed it was already six thirty- I had just enough time to shower and change before heading to the high school. I had a nice long shower, using my favourite strawberry scented shampoo before heading back to my room to get dressed. I pulled out my favourite sleeveless blue blouse, a black skirt that came to mid-thigh, some thick winter tights (just because I couldn't feel the cold didn't mean it wouldn't look weird without them) and some blue converse to match my top. I got dressed; blow dried my long brown hair into its natural waves and headed out to school.
The high school wasn't hard to find, it was off the highway like most things in the small town. I quickly found a parking space and headed into the office building. There was a woman who looked to be in her fifties behind the desk who looked up as I approached.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan; I'm here to pick up my schedule?" As soon as I said my name recognition flashed in her eyes- I had no doubt that most of the town knew of my arrival as it was such a small community.
"Of course dear, I'm Mrs. Cope, here's your schedule, a map of the school and a slip that you need to get all your teachers to sign and hand in at the end of the day." I took all the papers from her, thanked her and left again. I checked my timetable against the map, so I wouldn't need it for the rest of the day:
1st period- English
2nd period- history
3rd period- Spanish
Lunch
4th period- biology
5th period- maths
6th period- gym
Hmm… it wasn't too bad... I'd had worse lessons. I quickly headed off to English once I heard the bell ring. As I entered the classroom everyone proceeded to stare at me. Perfect. I made sure my shield was firmly in place before I approached the teacher- not wanting to hear their thoughts. The teacher was a female, Mrs. Cartwright who simply gave me a reading list and pointed me to a seat at the back of the class; I was glad she hadn't made me introduce myself. I glanced at the reading list and just as I had expected I had read everything on there at least ten times over. I sighed. Seems like this is going to be like every other school I had been to in the 150 years since I had been changed.
The class passed quickly, for which I was grateful, and before I knew it I was on my way to history. The morning passed in a similar fashion- along with me trying to get people to leave me alone. There were only being friendly but it was too dangerous for us to be friends. Before I knew it I was entering the cafeteria for lunch. I quickly filled a tray of food I wouldn't eat and sat at a table near the back. I was so ready for this day to be over. I was absentmindedly shredding my lunch to pieces to when I smelt it. Vampires. I froze. What were they doing here? And in a school no less! What was I going to do?! I can't believe human drinkers would be in a high school… but animal drinkers were so rare… I made sure my shield was firmly fixed in place and looked up… into the faces of 5 golden eyed vampires.
"Hi! I'm Alice! It's Bella right? Mind if we sit here?" She was short and thin to the extreme with short hair spiked in every direction. I liked her enthusiasm and happy-go-lucky attitude, but I wasn't sure if I could trust them… I knew animal drinkers existed but I had never encountered any so I wasn't sure whether to risk it; in the end I decided that the only way to find out was to get to know them a little better; but I still had to be cautious, so I hesitantly said yes. "So this is Jasper, my husband, Rosalie and her husband Emmett, and Edward." Jasper was tall, slightly muscular, blonde and covered in more bite marks than I had ever seen on anyone, it made me instantly wary but Jasper himself had a calm, soothing presence. Rosalie looked like a supermodel; she was tall, slim and had long wavy blonde hair. Emmett was like the opposite of Jasper; he had short curly brown hair and was huge like a body builder, which would have made me wary if it weren't for the huge boyish smile on his face; he immediately made me feel a little more at ease. Edward on the other hand was quite possibly the most beautiful man I had ever seen; he had hair that looked like he had just got out of bed that was a strange bronze colour, and was slightly muscular like Jasper, but he had a frustrated expression on his face that confused me.
"It's nice to meet you all."
"So Bella, what brings you to Forks?" It was Alice that spoke, though they all looked intrigued. I wasn't ready to tell them the real reason so I gave them a part of the truth.
"Nothing much, it was just time to start over again you know? And with the weather here it seemed like the easiest place to appear normal." They didn't look like they believed me but thankfully let it go, and we spent the rest of lunch getting to know each other. It seemed I had a lot in common with Edward, although the frustrated expression on his face didn't change the whole time. I was beginning to think he didn't like me. Maybe getting to know this family wasn't such a good idea….
The rest of the day passed fairly quickly, it turned out I had biology with Edward and he was my lab partner, so I spent some more time getting to know him, and then before I knew it I was on the way home. Alice wanted me to come over this weekend to meet their parents; I said yes but I wasn't sure I would be here then, it wasn't really a good idea for me to get to know anyone… I wasn't sure if I could trust them yet, but I felt a strange pull towards this family and I was reluctant to leave.
Thanks for reading! Please leave me a review? Thanks again!
