AN: This is just something I started because I was bored. I'm not sure how much I like it, so if I don't get any reviews, I'll delete it.

Disclaimer: If I owned Twilight or Max Ride, why on Earth would I be writing fanfics??

Garnet Flight

Aurania's POV

I was more then a little nervous. I hadn't seen Bella Swan in seven years, after all. She could have changed completely. Even if she was the same, I know I was very different. It was all too likely that she would spurn me. I could feel that I was about to find her. At first I had gone to Renee's, and she had told me that Bella was living with her Dad in Forks, Washington. Then I went to Forks. Charlie, her dad, said she was at her boyfriend's. Now here I was, looking at his house.

After a long pep talk to myself, I rang to doorbell. One of the most handsome boys that I had ever seen answered. At his side was Bella. I decided to play dumb about knowing who she was. "Hello, is there a Bella Swan visiting here?" "I'm Bella. Do I know you?" I smiled. So, she didn't recognize me from looks alone, huh. Not surprising. I didn't look or act anything like I used to. "I guess I look a little different. Seven years is a long time," was all that I said in reply. I waited for her to think about the number I had given her. We had been best friends as children, and I needed a place to stay for a couple of days without raising suspension.

"Seven years?" She sounded confused. Had she really forgotten her old friend? Did she really have no memory of all the hours that my sister and I had spent at her house? If she had forgotten, I decided, I would return to the Flock. But then Bella broke into my thoughts. "Nia?" My old nickname. I hadn't been called that since my parents sold me to the devil's children at the School. "Hey, Bella."

Bella looked shocked, but the boy behind her gave a quiet cough. He did deserve to know why a complete stranger had just walked into his house and asked about his girlfriend. I gave him a more careful look-over. Bronze hair, pale skin, topaz eyes. And it was impossible to miss his gorgeous looks. His inhumanly good looks. I used my gift, and was surprised, to say the least. Bella was hanging out with vampires? Telepathic vampires? I reminded my self to be carful around them.

Just then, Bella decided to introduce me. "Nia, this is my boyfriend, Edward Cullen. Edward, this is Nia Hastings."

"Elfstone, I changed it. I liked the way Elfstone sounded. I read it in a book."

"You just up and decided to change your last name?" That was the Cullen boy, sounded incredulous.

"What, it's not like my parents care."

"The government does tend to care though."

"As far as the government is concerned, I'm dead. And I like it that way."

"Please, come in and tell me what's been going on since you were ten years old." Bella invited. I accepted, and resolved myself to tell everything. In front of the vampires which did nothing for my nerves. Wings were uncommon even for them.

AN: How was that? Review, it makes me really happy. And when I'm happy I write faster.
