Discovered

Chapter 2- Who are they?

The next day Edward picked Bella up from her house in his car before school, so she would be safe. The whole of the day he spent by her side, even at lunch, although sitting near so many humans at one time must have been so hard for him. He got asked so many questions;

"So, why do you never talk to anyone but your family?" asked Jessica

"Well..." he stuttered "er..."

"Edward likes having his family as his friends because he thinks they are his best friends and he feels, close to them, and doesn't mind being close to them" interrupted Bella

"Oh, cool" Jessica replied

As they sat and ate, Edward found it unusual and liked watching them, as he had not eaten food since Carlisle had made him a vampire. They could afford everything they had because they had no need to buy food from the shops, this happened to be very convenient for them so they didn't have to go near humans apart from school and work.

Suddenly Edward's eyes opened wide and he stared into space, he grabbed Bella's arm and pulled her out of the school cafe and into the hall... he had read somebody's mind, this is what he heard;

"She is in here somewhere I can sense it, where are you Bella? Come out come out where ever you are, we only want to play" they chuckled in their thoughts.

Edward took Bella to the Nurse's office and said they felt unwell and the thing they had eaten in common was some sandwiches they had bought from the shop on their way to school, they were sent home and went straight to Edward's house, where Bella demanded an explanation of just exactly who it was chasing her and why did Edward drag her out of school before she had finished her lunch!?

"there is a coven of vampires moved here, friends of James, they heard what happened and are like brothers, they took a vow and always get revenge for each other, in total, there are five of them;

Joe

Alex

Mathew

Thomas

Daniel

Like I said, they are here for revenge, and today in our school cafeteria, one of them, Daniel was here, he can sense people and how far away they are. Joe can stare, I know it sounds stupid but if he stares into your eyes for just ten seconds, he has control of your whole body for ten minutes. Alex is a transporter, he can transport anywhere in a 1 mile radius in one second. Mathew, although it appears that he has no powers, he is a great at persuading people while Thomas is a shape-shifter.

He pulled with me onto his back and started running to his house; the wind pushed hard against my face and ran through my hair. His cold body sent shivers down my spine but he made me feel safe although I still hadn't had a change to get used to this sort of travel yet. As I leant my head on the back of his neck he turned his neck round so quickly that I was sure he should have sprained it or something but my head turned into flutters the moment his ice lips touched mine and I completely forgot everything I was thinking about. When he started to turn his head back round I pushed my face into his to make the kiss last longer but I was too late, as I sighed, I screamed.

"EDWARD!"

"What?"

"T...T...TREE!" I yelled as we were seconds away from crashing straight into its wide trunk.

"Bella, you crack me up" he said with a cheeky grin on his most perfect and angelic face. "You didn't think we were going to crash did you?" he gleamed sarcastically as he ran up the side of the extremely tall tree "All I want is a little faith." As that crooked smile of his that I loved oh so too much spread across his face like wild fire reaching from eye to perfect eye I smiled and sighed.

His body tensed and froze like a statue although he was still running so lightly on his feet with little more that no noise at all. He turned to look at me and his eyes were red, a dark, deep, evil looking, red.

"I need to hunt" he said, gasping "but I won't hurt you Bella, if it's the last thing I do. You wanted to watch me hunt and here is your chance, but if I had a choice I would take you to my house before I started to hunt, but I have no time, I need to hunt, NOW!"

"Okay, okay, find something you can hunt as soon as possible and I will stay out of your way as soon as you put me down"

"Thank you Bella, thank you so much, although I am dreading what you are about to see and I hope that I can control myself enough not to hunt you down too" he shook his head in regret. "I am really sorry that you will have to see this Bella, but if you want you can close your eyes and hide behind a tree if you want and I will come for you when I have finished."

I hid behind the tree, I'm a wimp I know, but, I just couldn't watch him while he hunted, even thought I asked to see it, and even though I knew that I would be doing that soon enough too. He was back next to me beside the tree within minutes and within seconds of him standing there his eyes had changed back to the golden brown colour I know and love so well. He held out a hand for me to get back on his back and swung me up easily, so graceful that you would not be able to imagine that that could have been me.

When we got to Edward's house, Alice had explained everything that had happened at lunch and Esme and Emmett were there to greet me, while as usual, for my own sake I know, Jasper kept his distance. Carlisle was talking to Edward and Alice was with Rosalie as I stood there alone. At once they all turned to look at me and goose bumps ran all across my body.

"Bella?" signed Carlisle in his dreamy voice

"Yes?"

"For your own protection, there is something we have to do" his eyes were full of dread "like we talked about a few weeks ago, although we can't tell your dad, he has to work it out himself, and we can help him with that, I just hope he swears to tell no-one and most of all, I hope he will still trust us as he did when he thought of us as humans."
