Bella Swan was in a state of pure shock. Shock that everyone around her assumed was brought on by the fact that she'd almost been hit by a car. However, Bella's astonishment was down to a certain blonde. The name 'Rosalie Hale' had been boucing off the walls of her mind for the past three hours, how did she get across the parking lot so fast? Why was her skin ice cold and her body hard as granite? Unanswered questions flooded her by the hundreds, but the more Bella searched for an answer, the more confused she became. Running her hands through her hair, Bella let out a frustrated sigh, tracing her fingers over the back of her head where Rosalie's cold hand had been just a few hours ago. For reasons unknown to her, Bella craved for the other to be touching her again, there was something about the contact that made her heart pound and her chest tighten. Flashes of the scene appeared when Bella blinked, visions of Rosalie's face so close to her own, black eyes (she could have sworn they looked like liquid gold earlier) that felt like they pierced right through to her soul, that hair, oh god that platinum hair, it complimented her flawless porcelain skin ever so well. Now that she gave it more thought, Bella was convinced that Rosalie Hale was in fact an angel. No human could be that perfect, surely it just wasn't possible?

The brunette huffed, scooting herself to edge of her bed, allowing her feet to rest against the carpet covered floor. She had homework to do, but there was no way she'd be able to focus on it after today's events, in fact, Bella was pretty sure she'd only be able to think of Rosalie until the mystery was solved. A loud clap of thunder put her mind a peace for a second, the sound of rain against the roof followed and Bella relaxed a little, the corner of her lips tugging upwards sslightly to form a soft smile. She loved Storms. Chaotic and beautiful simultaneously. In Bella's mind, that was the equation for perfection.


Rosalie was far from calm. For someone who'd forgotten what panic felt like, she was doing a spectacular job of losing her mind over the situation. The vampire was yet to return home and had instead decided that pacing the woods was the best way to deal with this dilemma. She couldn't face her family right now, she didn't want her thoughts read or her feelings shared, nor did she want her future seen, there was no way this could go smoothly. She'd found her mate, the person she was destined to be with for eternity and quite frankly, she was terrified. Not only was her mate a female, she was a human female. Flesh and blood, a beating heart, warm skin, deep brown eyes, the most beautiful sight Rosalie had ever bared witness to.

"Rosalie" A delicate voice carried through the trees, followed by a vampire small in structure and big in charisma. Alice knew she was taking a risk coming to talk to her sister when she was in a state like this, she was fully aware that there was times when she liked to be completely alone, but unlike Rosalie herself, Alice could tell that being alone wasn't always what was best for her. "Please come home. Everyone is worried-"

"Alice, don't." Rosalie cut her off, her voice far more solemn than the cold and straightforward tone she normally spoke with. It was obvious that Rosalie wasn't feeling herself, she made no effort at all to cover her concern and that in itself was moderately worrying to Alice. Rosalie was always the one to put on a brave front, she'd never let anyone know when she was hurting or scared, so seeing her like this made Alice's frozen heart sink.

"It's ok to be anxious, Rosalie-"

"It's not ok, Alice! Nothing about this is ok! Because of me, this family is in danger, because of me we're going to have to move again. Do you have any idea what I've just thrown us in to? Do you even understand what this could mean for us?" Rosalie cut Alice off once again, her regular tone replacing the one from earlier as she whipped around to face her sister, her eyes as dark as coal. "She's a human, Alice. A fucking human. If she finds out about what we are-"

"She finds out, Rosalie. I've seen it. Whether you run away from this or not, Bella will figure out what you are...what we are." This time it was Alice's turn to interrupt and she pulled no punches with the way she spoke, almost matching the way Rosalie had snapped at her.

For the second time that day, Rosalie froze. Everything Alice had said was blocked out by a single word, 'Bella'. She repreated the name in her head over and over like a prayer until she could think of nothing else. Her mate's name was Bella and by god it suited her perfectly. Never did the blonde think that it was possible for her to fall in love with a name, but here she was proving herself wrong twice in one day.

"I've had more visions" Alice spoke with caution this time, almost testing the water to see if Rosalie would allow her to continue. She received only a nod as a response, but that was good enough for her. "Whether or not you continue to deny your love for her, she becomes one of us." The shorter girl had almost whispered the last part of her statement but her gentleness didn't erase the flare of rage in Rosalie's pitch black eyes. She knew Rosalie wouldn't be happy about Bella becoming immortal, especially by her own doing, but the alternative was so much worse.

"What do you mean whether I deny my love for her or not? I could run away, Alice, she'd forget about me, she could live a normal life!" At this point the taller vampire was shouting, blatantly frustrated with the choices she'd been presented. "I won't change her. I can't do it, Alice."

Hearing her sister sound so broken and helpless was horrible for Alice, but she knew that the next thing she'd say would make it even harder for her. Part of her didn't want to say anything, but it was the only way she'd get Rosalie to follow her heart. "She's Edward's blood singer."


Bella had been at school less than an hour and her day had already been just as eventful as the last. There had been a ruckus in the parking lot between all three Cullen boy's before the school bell had even had a chance to ring. She had no idea what had caused it, but she'd seen two of the brother's, one with medium length blond hair, and the other, a scarily muscular male with short dark hair restraining the third brother. The girl would have passed it off as 'boys being boys' had the third brother not being staring directly at her, his eyes equally as dark as Rosalie's had been yesterday. Bella knew joining a new school would be nerve wracking, but something about that boy made her feel genuinely uncomfortable.


During lunch Bella saw only three of the Cullens sat at the 'family table' as Jessica had called it. Mike informed her that the two boys sat across the room from them were Jasper and Emmett. The same one's restraining the other male earlier. She then learnt that the girl sat with them was Alice, who looked over to Bella and smiled almost as if she'd heard them talking about her. But that would be impossible.

"What about Rosalie? Why doesn't she eat with them?" The majority of the people sat around her had raised their eyebrows in response to her question, something that confused Bella deeply. Why was Rosalie's name like a cuss word to these people?

"Well, normally she does. But since you joined I've barely seen her. Aparently she's been skipping out on lessons. I didn't see her arrive with the other's this morning either. Maybe she's sick or something?"

Jessica's response made Bella furrow her brows, partly because she was confused by Rosalie, partly because the sound of Jessica's voice reminded her of nails on a chalkboard.

Something just wasn't right. The way Rosalie had saved her life and then disappeared off the face of the earth, the way her brother's had been behaving this morning, the way the bronze haired one looked at her.

Everything about the Cullens was both strange and captivating.
