Chapter 1

Rainbow Veins

{#~~#|x|#~~#}

My apartment was a mess, I was always too busy to clean. I know what you're saying.

Bella YOU DON'T SLEEP.

Well I'm sorry but that doesn't mean I can't have a life. At night I work on my computer, sketching and designing logo's, websites, I even do some animations for games!

I finally found my school bag under a pile of dirty clothes. I suppose I really did need to clean...

Tonight, I promise.

My car was a boring one, but it got the speed's I needed. The BARE minimum at that, but still. Better than a second hand truck.

The drive to school went quickly, I parked in my usual spot. A few of the boy's still continued to try to date me. One of those so-called boy's winked at me seductively. Just EW. No.

Somehow my bag managed to get caught on something so by the time I loosened it a silver Volvo was parking next to me.

I sighed and climbed out, most likely I would have to greet this new comer. I definitely would have remembered this car. Definitely one of the new students.

He got out at the same time, his air conditioner blowing his scent my way.

My bag clattered to the floor. Venom pooled in my mouth, drowning it in moments. HIS SCENT. I needed it.

Slowly I leaned forward, about to begin my regime. Lure him into the forest, drink his blood. His sweet sweet blood-

You're a vampire? No!

His thought's stopped me. I turned and ran into class, shaking my head rapidly back and forth. That scent though! Would it really matter if I took just one, precious human life out of my existence for eternity? I promise I wouldn't take another?

Just imagine! His blood oozing it's way down my throat, quenching the burning rage-

No! I can't! I can't.

I'm a vegetarian. My way's are from the great Carlisle Cullen. I would not dishonor his name and mine by giving in to the delicious, enticing scent-

Stop. The appealing descriptions aren't helping.

I groaned and sat at my desk for role call. The teacher went through it quickly before telling us the notices. He of course mentioned the new kid's. Weren't they supposed to be vampires though? My gift has never been wrong.

Unless they were harboring the human...

No, they wouldn't I'm sure this family knows the rules.

My next class was trig so I made my way over there quickly. I couldn't smell the human from before but his scent lingered with me.

He had known I was a vampire. He must be living with this coven.

I sighed, now I have to do some vampire related work. Wonder where they were living.

Class went by in a blur thankfully, my next class was in the other side of the school. I wondered how I should approach this.

I was still technically a member of the Volturi guard. It was my duty to report law breakers. I needed to find out more first, hopefully one of the vampires was in my class.

There was no scent of a vampire, but my gift was going crazy. There was definitely a vampire nearby. Screw class, I needed to deal with this. They could ruin my life here in Forks if they were human drinkers.

My eyes closed on my own to utilize my gift.

Mostly they were teenagers thoughts, but there was one that stood out. We need to tell Carlisle about this new Threat. Edward was so distraught.

Carlisle, could this be the Olympic coven? Never in my years did I expect to meet them. What a brilliant opportunity to meet my hero!

And Edward, was this perhaps the human from earlier? It would fit.

Finally THREAT? I was not a threat. Threat to Edward perhaps...

No, I would never hurt the human boy, especially if he was a son of Carlisle's.

I will have to wait until I have a class with one of his coven, then I can ask for a meeting with the Carlisle Cullen.

My next class was stupid. The teacher left to go and have a make-out session in the closet. His thoughts were... Just EW.

Most of the class spent the time to talk to one and other. I finished my homework for the previous class and this class. After that I thought about what to do.

If they were harboring a human, and he clearly knew about vampires, I needed to report it. Aro would not be pleased his dearest friend was breaking the main rule for vampires. But his reaction, what if he killed Carlisle? I couldn't let that happen.

Carlisle practically saved my life.

If I resorted to feeding off humans I doubt I could have lived with myself.

Perhaps they could change the human, then there wouldn't be any issues.

Or I could turn a blind eye. But something tells me one of the guard will find out sooner or later and deal with it. Better me than Jane right?

So what do I do? I need to talk with them, obviously. The human must be dealt with. Either killed, changed or...

I could use my gift on him.

I suppose we will see.

Once class was over I made my way to gym. This would be fun.

On my way to the locker room I noticed one of the vampires. She was blonde and quite obviously a vampire. Her scent had no appeal to it and she had no heart beat. I dashed forward and coughed to gain her attention.

She turned swiftly, clearly sensing I was a vampire. Obviously she was shocked to see I had golden eyes. "Hello, my name is Bella Swan. Is it possible we could have a word?"

"Um, sure. My name is Rosalie Hale." She looked around for an appropriate spot. It really wasn't necessary.

I closed my eyes and focused, creating the void that would be necessary. There was no sense of time in this void, no matter how long I stayed in here the real world would not change or move forward.

Finding Rosalie and bringing her into this void was difficult. I hardly ever had to bring someone here.

She was shocked when she entered. We were surrounded by nothing. "What- Where is this?"

"My apologies, but I didn't have the chance to warn you. This is from my gift. We are in my own dimension." I honestly didn't know how to explain it correctly, these terms were the simplest to use.

Rosalie shook her head slowly. "So, what do you have to do with the human, Edward I believe?"

"He's my brother. Edward Cullen. We adopted him after he lost his family seven years ago." She fidgeted nervously. What a sad story.

I frowned. "Being a member of the Volturi guard I must investigate. It seems he knows of the vampire world?"

"Yes. We've taught him the rules. He knows not to break them."

My grip on this dimension was fading. "Is it possible to meet the rest of your coven at lunch? There is much needed to be discussed."

Her thoughts entered my mind. Can't let her, she may hurt Edward. "Perhaps we could meet you after school?"

"That will be fine then. Your home would be best." I already knew from her thoughts where she lived, but she continued to tell me the details.

Once she was done I promptly let go of my hold on the void. I needed to hunt tonight. That had taken allot out of me.

Rosalie seemed confused for a few moments as she stood in front of me. I gave her a polite nod before leaving to go to gym.

So they had adopted this human boy. If he has known for seven years and not shared the secret of the vampire world then maybe he was safe. I still couldn't just leave him alone though, Aro would not be pleased if he finds out. Well, more like WHEN he finds out.

In gym I tried to ignore the curious stares and thoughts that came from Rosalie. It was fairly difficult as gym was so boring, much like all my classes.

Once it was over I quickly changed and then went to the cafeteria. I took my normal spot next to Angela.

"Hey. Haven't seen you all day, how was your weekend?" Angela played with her bottle of lemonade.

I sighed. "Busy. There was so much to do, did Isaac win his soccer game?" Isaac was one of Angela's brothers.

"No, Joshua is still teasing him for falling over. I can't believe him some times, think you can come over later and talk to him?" Angela tilted her head and gave me her pleading look.

Joshua and Isaac adored me, and I adored them. My gift did help but I rarely used it on them. "I can't I have plans tonight."

"First time in a while Bells. Tomorrow then?" Her thoughts were very approving of me having plans. I usually had nothing to do and would agree to whenever she needed help.

Slowly I nodded. "That should be fine. My apartment needs cleaning though."

Angela gasped loud enough for the whole cafeteria to hear. "Your kidding! You, BELLA SWAN! You're actually GOING TO CLEAN?"

"Yes Angela. Now shut up before you get in trouble." I laughed with her as she finished her meal. I never ate at school, Angela noticed of course but she wasn't suspicious of anything, just concerned.

The bell rang and I said goodbye to my friend and made my way to biology.

His scent hit me before I even entered the room. The shock wasn't as strong as before, I had been preparing myself all day. My venom pooled in my mouth before I could stop it but I swallowed it quickly.

No hurting the human kid. No hurting the human kid.

I chanted in my head as I entered, Edward was sitting at the desk I normally sat in. Why! Did he WANT to die?

My seat was still free and I took it, holding my breath. The heat of his skin seemed to burn me as I sat so close to such a delicious human. "Hello. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself before. I'm Edward Cullen."

I hope she can handle herself. Alice will see if she tries anything. I had to breath if I wanted to greet back. Hoping he wasn't offended. I pulled my shirt up and breathed through it.

That didn't help at all.

His scent hit me like a brick, forcing me to actually cough.

How could I do this? Sit through an hour of this torture? I gripped the table with my hands, causing it to crumble slightly. I smoothed my mess over and crossed my arms over my chest.

The teachers babbling was completely ignored by me and Edward. He continued to stare at me, and I continued to stare at the floor.

"Can I help at all? Anything to make it easier?" He had to be kidding. He was trying to HELP me? The one who wanted to kill him? "I know you're a good person. Alice mentioned something about me being your blood singer. I'm... Sorry. I guess."

Wow. This guy was unbelievable. I turned to him furious. "You know I want to kill you right now, right?" He gulped and nodded, matching my own rage. "How can you even consider apologizing for something that isn't your fault? I'm the monster here."

He shook his head slowly. "You're not a monster."

Luckily the bell rang before I could rip his head off.

No way he believed that.

Not when I so badly want to sink my teeth into his veins.
