Chapter Two: New Blood
She was suffocating at that party and she had to get out. The window was rolled down and the wind was blowing in her face. This felt good. The freedom and how fast the car was going.
"Love the outfit."
"Shut up, it feels more like a costume."
She turned to her accomplice, "How do you put up with this crap, when I was in LA I never went to these things, now all of a sudden I'm being dragged on a leash."
Jasper looked at her and smiled at her innocence. "New York is different from LA, there's more of a stiff upper lip held here. It's high society at its worst. The parties you must attend and you should always be noticed in the best way possible, and a little gossip never hurt."
"Animals." They shared a laugh as the car zoomed down the highway. They stopped at an abandoned parking lot and Jasper got out of the car. He heard shuffling and a few grunts coming from inside and finally Bella came out of the passenger side dressed in a t-shirt and jeans.
"That was suffocating. Did you find any of them?"
"Yes."
"Care to elaborate?"
"Not at the moment."
Bella rolled her eyes at him, "Fine then you can drop me off at home."
"Not yet." He gave her a smile and she knew that he wanted to cause a little trouble tonight, but as he was going to say something else his head turned into the direction of the woods and I knew something was about to happen.

The party had cleared out a while ago, but Edward couldn't go back to his house. He had to find out who that girl was. A rebel with an innocent complex, plus there was just something about her, her eyes, and how delicate she looked. He shook his head.
This wasn't right. Usually girls were after him and not the other way around. He cut through the woods as fast as he could with the trees a blur and he tried following her scent. It disappeared from time to time but he knew he was getting closer.
Just then he heard her voice in the distant and followed, before he could be discovered he hid so he wouldn't be seen. Her scent became over bearing and he let out a low growl, bad move. The man beside her turned in his direction and instantly Edward knew that he wasn't human. 'So she hangs out with people like us.' I slowly backed away before anything could happen and swiftly without making a sound headed back.
The rest of them would for sure be interested in knowing that there was another one among us and he had a human friend. I zipped through the forest and made it back to the house, as soon as I came through the door Alice came up to me and asked what was wrong.
"There's another like us here."
"Where?" Carlisle, Esme and the rest of them came into the room and listened intently.
"I saw him over on the other side of town, him and that Swan girl.
"What he-?"
"No, they were friends."
"Friends?!" There was a look of disbelief on her face.
"So she knows that he's a vampire?" "I'm pretty certain."
Emmett butted in asked, "What does this mean for us?" directing the question to Carlisle.
He responded, "I don't know yet, I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

"Who was it?" "I don't know but by the way they smelled I think we found them."
"Already?"
"It seems so." Bella gave Jasper a look of concern.
"Do you think they know?"
"Can't be possible." They got back into the car and zoomed off towards the hotel that Jasper was staying in. If they knew why they were there it wasn't safe for Bella to be alone.
