AN- Hey y'all! This is my first story on fanfiction, so I am still learning the ins and outs of it. I would love to thank PoisonedAngelTears for the story idea, and letting me steal it from her! Basically, in this story, Bella is a bounty hunter, and a Neutral (that will be explained later.) The Cullens show up in her territory and who knows what could happen.

Without further ado, here is the story!

The Neutral

Chapter One: I'm a WHAT?

Ugh! I hate the rain!

I looked out of my car window and glared at the menacing clouds as if that would stop the droplets from falling. I went back to the task at hand, trying to catch the perpetrator. This had been the third time we had gotten a tip from him, and hopefully this one would be right. It was tedious doing reconnaissance, but someone had to do it. I yearned for my nine millimeter just to take my frustration out, but it had gotten taken away from me after I shot an innocent bystander last week. James Worthington had yet to show up. I had only glanced at his stats, but had it memorized. James was wanted for multiple counts of sexual assault, and of course fled and didn't show up for his court day. Lucky me. From what else I could gather, the only reason he was in Forks, Washington, the rainiest place on earth, was because he was a Vampire. Only people like me knew that part.

It has been seven long years since my parents tried to break the news. I remember the day vividly as the one that changed my life forever.

I had walked in the room, dropping off my backpack in the font room. It had been a long day of meeting my new teachers and trying to figure out how to get to my classes at the strange middle school. I was in 6th grade, and had already made a ton of friends and enemies. I heard my mom tell me to come into the great room, so I followed her voice and found my parents sitting on the couch waiting for me. They motioned to a chair right across from them and told me to sit down.

"Sweetie, we have some important news to tell you." My mom started then squeezed my dad's hand to start the long speech.

"Bella, you are a Neutral." I opened my mouth to ask a question when he held up his hand and continued.

"A Neutral is a person that isn't human, or supernatural. This person is responsible for making sure that humans never find out about the supernaturals, and keep the supernaturals from stepping out of line. You live for a couple hundred years and have a gift, which doesn't show up until you turn eleven, which is why we are telling you now."

"We are going to be home schooling you, so that when you get older, you can take over your job." My mom finished, leaving me furious.

"What if I don't want to be a supernatural? What if I want to be a normal person? Don't I get a say? What if I don't want to be home schooled?" I yelled while my mom just answered that I didn't have a choice and she refused to tell me about my gift until I figured it out on my own.

I went on to read about Vampires, Werewolves, Shape-shifters, Witches, Warlocks, Sirens, and every other type of supernatural until my head almost exploded. I also found that my gift was that all other gifts wouldn't work on me, and I could tell who, or what, was trying to attack. But, seriously, how could all of these survive without letting humans know they were around? I mean, come on, aren't humans pretty much taking up a lot of space on earth? Well, that was where I came in. There were only a couple hundred Neutrals in existence, so when I was given a territory, I got stuck with Washington and Oregon, with only one other person as my "mentor." To date I only claimed Washington, since I didn't want to share with a 300-year-old guy.

I was now eighteen and was still sick and tired of not having a normal life. I was seriously considering writing to the High Council and telling them to terminate my duties, but that would have to wait until after I caught this vamp. Right on cue, James shows up with blood staining his white shirt and having blood-red eyes. He had obviously just gotten done hunting, so it was time to make my move.

AN- You know the drill, please Rate and Review! Thanks! Sorry it is so short, I just wanted to get it set up as quickly as possible. I promise the chapters will be longer as I get farther in.
