Ch 2

EPOV

Looks like we're moving again. It's some town in England. Kinda small and very cloudy. Perfect for us vampires. But we have neighbors. Great, more minds to bother me, 24/7.

I put my boxes in the car and got in. Alice and Jasper were riding with me. She couldn't bring her yellow porch, and she was upset. This would be a long drive.

After we had unpacked, Esme said that we should go and meet our neighbors. Alice was 'looking' if Jasper would be ok. Esme knocked on the door and a husky woman answered.

"Hello, I'm Petunia. This is my husband Vernon and my son Dudley. You must be the new neighbors!" the woman said. "Yes, I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my wife Esme. And these are our kids Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, and Edward. Do you have any other kids?" Carlisle asked. He heard 4 heartbeats. "No, just Dudley" a man said.

"Would you like to come in?" Petunia said. Esme saw an opportunity to investigate. "Yes, thank you." she said. Another person walked by, trying to sneak up the stairs. "Ah hah. Found the other person." Carlisle was thinking. He introduced himself to her, then Vernon jumped in. "She's our niece. She's... Visiting for the summer" he said.

I could hear from all three of their thoughts that they really hate her. "she was just going to go and mow Mrs. Austin's yard, weren't you?" Vernon said. She quickly ran out the door. Muttering 'don't be seen, don't talk, stay away' under her breath. My family looked at me. I shrugged. After the girl left, we took a tour of the house. They left out one room. I heard that it was "Bella's Room" that made me interested. Why not show us it?

She invited us to stay for lunch but we declined and left. When we got home the family wanted to know what they thought of us. "Well, we look kinda creepy to the kid. The parents just want to impress us with their money. But that girl..."

"What is it son?" Carlisle asked me. "They hate her so much, it's horrible." I told him. "When she showed up, there was so much hate, anger, fury, disgust. I almost punched Emmett." Jasper said. "What was the girl thinking?" Esme asked me. "I don't know. I can't read her mind." everyone was shocked. "Does anyone else think it was kind of creepy when she said "don't be seen, don't talk, stay away"? What does that even mean?" Emmett asked. I was shocked. He never was this serious.

"I don't know, but I want to find out" Carlisle said.

The next day when Alice was outside, the girl came out and started washing the windows. "Hi" Alice said. The girl checked through the windows, and then said "hi" back. "I'm Alice, what's your name?" she asked. "Bella." Bella said.

"Are those your parents?" Alice asked. "No, there my Aunt and Uncle" Bella said with disgust. "Where are your parents? Are you visiting your aunt and uncle?" she asked, confused. Why would you visit someone you hated? "My parents are dead" Bella said, with an edge.

Realization was in Bella's eyes the next moment. "Alice, what color are your eyes?" Bella asked slowly. "Gold" Alice said, confused. Bella dropped the sponge, and pulled a thin piece of wood out from under her pant leg quickly. "Vampire!" she spat. The next moment, my whole family was out there, Jasper in front of her. "Who sent you? Was it Voldemort?" she said to us.

Carlisle slowly stepped forward, and said "no one sent us. We're here to do nothing more than live in peace. We mean you no harm. We're vegetarians. We don't kill people. What are you?" he asked. "I'm a witch, and I know how to kill you. How do I know you're not lying?" she asked. "You can keep your wand raised. We just want to talk with you."

"So did the French Coven. Seen them lately?" that explains that. I always wondered what happened to them. Just then a grey owl swooped in and dropped a letter in her hand. She opened it then said "but their effen vampires!"

"What" I asked. "You guys got me sentenced to the Ministry Of Magic! Great! Now I expelled!" she yelled. "May I see?" Carlisle asked. She threw him the letter and he read it out loud

To Isabella Swan Potter: you are to appear at the Ministry Of Magic within the hour for court. The charge is exposing magic to muggles.

The Ministry Of Magic, Head Judge

When I looked back she was freaking out. "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm expelled now!" she kept repeating.

"we should go with you, so you don't get in trouble there." Carlisle said. "It is our fault." he said. "Well how much worse could bring you make it? Let's go. Hurry. Go to the court building in London. "She said. She closed her eyes and turned on her heel. She disappeared. We ran to the court building and she was waiting.

She dialed a number on the pay phone and an elevator appeared. She stepped in and we did the same. She went to floor one. We stepped out and went to a set of double doors. She pushed them open and stepped in. We followed through.
