"Edward!" I heard a bubbly voice sing. What was it with vampires waking me up all the time? I glared at the small vampire in the doorway and she looked at me confused.

"Why is there a leopard on your lap?" she said.

"Emmett found her and brought her home, she follows me everywhere for some reason."

"Why is there a leopard in Forks?"

"I don't know you're the physic!"

"I can't see her" ha I love my power.

"That's weird."

"And annoying. Well when are you taking her to the zoo?" I panicked. I didn't want to go to the zoo! I fidgeted worriedly.

"I don't know."

"Anyway Esme wants to talk to you." I shifted off his lap and he left the room. The other vampire left too and shut the door behind her. I guess I have to leave now. I stood up and shook out my fur. I paced to the door and phased into a beetle. I scurried under the door and changed into a butterfly. I flew out the open window and into the forest, changing into a blue jay. I flitted through the trees until I reached the town where I phased into my human form, my clothes materializing. I skipped into my hotel room and checked musket in my mirror.

I had long dark brown hair which hung in tight curls to my waist. My eyes were a strange shade of violet; they reacted strangely with the sunlight, reflecting the light like prisms. My skin was pale, vampire pale but I could still blush. I changed my image, shortening my hair slightly and straightening it out and lightening the color. I made my skin a little darker and changed my eyes to a chocolaty brown. I looked passably human.

I sighed and turned on the shower. I felt the hot water relax my muscles and eventually dragged myself away from the warmth. I curled up in bed waiting for sleep to come.

The beeping alarm clock blared through my head. I stuck my hand out and smacked down on the snooze button effectively smashing it to pieces. I groaned and rolled over until my feet touched the floor. I stumbled to the bathroom and splashed my face with water to wake me up. I sighed as I saw my hair which stuck up in crazy tufts. After attempting to tame the mess I pulled on my worn jeans and a blouse and chomped down a granola bar. I walked out the hotel and darted into the woods to phase. I was in the air soaring over the trees. I looked down searching for the school. I dropped down into the trees and phased again. I stepped out into the parking lot and into the office.

"Umm hello I'm the new student, Bella swan." I said to the woman there.

"Oh right, um here's your schedule" she said passing me some papers.

I nodded and turned for the door. I ignored the stares coming from everyone and ducked into the classroom. I gave a slip to the teacher and sat at the back of the room trying to hide from the stares.

God school was boring after repeating it over 100 times. I whiled away the hours or boredom thinking about my imprint/ my Edward. When would I ever see him again? I wandered slowly from lesson to lesson in a daze. Eventually it was lunch and I grabbed a tray of food and sat at a table by myself. Whispers erupted around me. I was still daydreaming when a group of people walk towards my table.

It was vampires. My eyes widened slightly as I recognized Emmett and the small pixie-like vampire from the leopard incident yesterday. Did that mean Edward was here too? There were two blondes with them. A statuesque woman with the typical pale color and a thirsty looking male. Thank god I didn't have an appetizing scent. The small vampire came up to me.

"Can we sit here?" she said. I nodded meekly. "Thanks, I'm Alice by the way."

"Bella" I said. They sat down I could feel the blonde woman glaring at me.

"This is Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper. There's also Edward." I nodded again. Jasper gave me a strange look and I blushed, looking down. There was a short silence. I heard the light footsteps of a vampire and my head snapped up. It was him. An involuntary smile spread across my face. He sat down next to me.

"She was here before we came in." Alice said at vampire speed. I held in my chuckle.

"Hello, I'm Edward Cullen."

"Cullen?" it couldn't be, could it?

"Yes, why?"

"I used to know someone called Cullen."

"Oh" he looked confused.

"I can't read her mind" he said at a speed that humans wouldn't have noticed.

"Wait what? You can read minds?" I said incredulously. They all looked totally shocked. I suppressed my hysterics.

"Umm" he stuttered. He was literally saved by the bell as everyone started to leave for lessons.

"Bye, it was nice to meet you." I said quickly as I jumped up and started off for my next lesson leaving all of the vampires looking after me confusedly. I chuckled as I looked back and saw them in the same shocked position. I darted to biology and sat in a seat. The class started and I pondered the name, could it be a coincidence? How many vampires could be called Cullen? I was interrupted by the door opening and revealing my Edward. That grin spread across my face again. He sat next to me with a frustrated expression.

I blushed looking down again. The teacher started talking at that point. I took notes carefully trying to ignore his stare. The bell rang suddenly and I jumped. I gathered my books and started to leave the room. I darted to my next class. I didn't hear a word of it as my thoughts were still filled with Edward. After the class had finished I walked out into the slight drizzle and started to head for the trees. I passed the parking lot and was nearly there when I heard a voice call my name.

"Bella!" I turned to find Edward standing by a shiny silver car. "Where are you going?"

"I'm walking back"

"Do you want a lift?"

"Um no it's fine." I said sadly, I preferred to fly.

"Ok I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yes, bye" I called and turned into the words. I walked for a while before morphing into a blue jay again and flew away into the sky. I didn't feel like going back to my hotel room so I drifted on the breeze, swirling in and out of the trees. I flew out and found the cliffs. I dove down towards the water and just before hitting the water I phased into a dolphin and swam through the waves.

After messing around with my powers for an hour or so I flew back to the hotel where I washed the seawater off my skin. I lay back down onto the bed and fell asleep happily.

The week passed without much more incident, I had continued to sit with the Cullens who seemed to be wary of the fact that I could hear them. I was moving in today, to my new house. I collected my belongings from the hotel room and checked out. I carried my small box of belongings out to the motorbike I had bought for show. I strapped the box onto the back and revved the engine it purred and I shot off In the direction of my new house.

I drove down the winding lane and screeched to a stop as my house came Into view. It was a tiny cottage painted White. Lavender overflowed from the window boxes and roses climbed the Walls. I took out the key I had picked up from the agents and turned it in the lock. The wooden door opened onto a small hallway. The floor was a light wood and the Walls a pale blue. The first door on the right was the lounge. It had mismatching furniture with a large fireplace and a long book case filling an entire wall. I followed down the hallway and reached the kitchen. The counters were cream and it was very cozy. I followed through the house and found the bedroom. There was a huge indigo bed with paler Walls and a White wardrobe and table. It was picturesque. I filled the bookcase with my books and took my memorabilia from the small jewelry box I had. There was a bracelet with many small charms on the chain. Each charm was a crest or emblem of each coven I had met. There was a Volturi crest, Denali, Irish, Egyptian, Scottish, French, Spanish, Amazonian, Russian and my favorite one was the Cullen crest. I also had a Cullen crest ring which my dear friend had given to me. I had a necklace which had my family's crest on a locket. It was a swan on the water with three stars above it and a rose below. It reminded me of my mother.

I threaded my Cullen crest ring onto a delicate chain and pulled it around my neck. I explored my house from the rest of the day and read 'pride and prejudice' again. I then drove to town on my bike to get some groceries.

The next day I went out into the woods in the form of a fox and ran through the trees until I came across the scent of my cousin species again. I decided to see them and say hi.

I ran through the trees tracking the scents. As the smell got stronger I ran faster. I would be a blur to human eyes. I could hear the thudding of paws and panting as I approached them. I phased into the form of a white wolf and I skidded to a stop in front of a huge russet wolf and a slightly smaller grey wolf.

I reached out with my mind to contact them. When our kinds were in the same forms we could communicate with others in our minds if we wanted to.

'Hello?' a confused female voice rang through my head.

'Hey' I thought back.

'Who are you?' a deep male voice spoke.

'Bella, Bella swan'

'I don't recognize you from forks.'

'No, I don't suppose you do'

'Where are you from then and why are you here?'

'The last place I lived was Vermont, I got here a week ago!"

'So how link have you been a werewolf?'

'Umm, well I've only just changed into this.'

'You're really calm.'

'Yeah, who are you by the way?'

'Jacob'

'Leah'

'How many more if you are in the pack?'

'10 all together'

'That's a big number. So anyone up for a race?"

"Heck yeah!'

'From here to the edge of the cliffs.'

'Cool, ready, set go!' I called suddenly. I jogged for a while, keeping pace with them as they sprinted beside me. I got bored with the slowness of their pace.

'So long suckers!' I called and phased into my fastest animal form, my cheetah. I pushed myself to my full speed and found the cliffs within half a minute. I phased back into my wolf and sat on a boulder. They took their time and five minutes later they panted into view.

'You guys are slow!'

'No you cheated! You never said you changed into a cheetah!'

'You didn't ask and it wasn't part of the rules that we couldn't phase!' I chuckled at their incredulous faces.

'So is it just a wolf and cheetah or can it be other things?'

'I can phase into anything.'

'Whoa! Show us then!'

'What do you want to see?'

'Umm, a bird!'

I walked into the trees and phased into a tiny bluebird. I flitted over to them and landed on Jacob's shoulder. I chuckled at his expression and it came from my mouth as birdsong.

I swooped into the forest and returned as a house cat winding my way through their legs and purring softly. I meowed at them and they turned and disappeared into the trees. They came back as humans. Jacob had short hair that was silky black and hung halfway to his chin. His skin was a smooth russet and he had a large White smile plastered on his face. Leah also had short hair but it hung to her chin and was a light brown. Her skin was lighter than Jacob's and she was very beautiful.

"Can you phase into a human, please?" Leah asked. I rose onto my back two paws and morphed into my human form. My clothes materialized around me and I shot a smile at them.

"Your clothes are on!" Leah exclaimed. I nodded smiling. Jake had gone into shock, be was frozen staring at me. Leah punched him on the arm to wake him up. He blinked and shook his head.

"You're gorgeous" he suddenly said. I blushed tomato red and looked away.

There was a short awkward silence.

"so, how can you change into so many different animals?"

"Oh it's the same way you change into wolves. It's passed on through generations. But I'm not a wolf, your kind of my cousin species you could say. So were loosely similar but I can changes into anything."

"Wow that must be amazing."

"It's cool"

"So are we kind of the same but you just change into more animals."

"Yeah"

"Do you get imprinting and stuff like that?"

"Yeah." the smile spread across my face again.

"Have you imprinted?"

"Yes, what about you?"

"No"

"No, but Sam, Quil, Paul, Jared and Brady have"

"Cool"

We talked about our abilities for a long time before I decided to leave. I was starving. I flew back to my house and prepared a mammoth meal and ate quickly.
