Isabella POV

What the hell could she possibly want to talk to me about. I admit I heard like nothing she said this entire class, simply copying what she wrote on the board. Maybe this is why I suck at math. "ha you think?" Angel's voice in my head caused me to nearly jump out of my skin my notebook hitting the ground with a thud. I scowl as I hear her laughter floating around in my head and look up with my reddened face at the class and teacher looking at me concerned. "sorry, spider." The bell rang shortly after. I walked up to her desk slowly as to show I don't want to be up here. "you wanted to see me?"

"yes about your test score, I cannot allow you to fail an opening test. Did you not know the material?"

"no but I already got a tutor so I should be fine."

"oh really who?" I know that she knows who since it was in this class me and Zoey were talking about it "Zoey offered to help me since she understands it." I saw annoyance flash through her eyes before blanking, "I see well even so I want you to sit up front from now on." I had just say down as an amused Angel walked through the door for study hall, automatically taking the seat next to me. I send her a glare that she smiles innocently at. "I hate you." Chuckling lowly "perhaps, but you love me oh so much more."

"Alright class quiet. Take this time to work on any homework you may have and study material you don't get." The "quiet" part was said sharply with an annoyed look toward Angel and I had to bite back a growl but she just smiled. I was halfway through my math homework when I came across a problem I couldn't figure out. And of course is wasn't missed by Miss Denali as she came to stand over me looking at my work placing a cold hand on my shoulder. "here is where it's going wrong" I hardly understood what she changed "there does that make more sense?"

"yes" I squeaked out much to her amusement. She didn't seem to buy it though, "why don't you stop by after school and I'll give you a hand" she purred out. Angel's head shot up towards us at the tone. She finally left me to study in peace as Angel kept glancing between us. "what?"

"Nothing"

"Don't nothing me Angel, what is it?" the bell ringing interrupted our silent conversation. "why don't you head to art and I'll meet you there I need to speak with Miss Denali."

"…..yah sure." I slowly made my way to class.

Angel POV

I waited silently for the rest of the students to leave. "you wanted to speak with me Angel?" she asked in a tone that clearly stated her dislike of me. I however saw no point in beating around the bush, "what do you want with Isabella?" her eyes widen at my bluntness "I don't see how that's any of your business" she states after getting over her initial shock. "that's where your wrong child anything that has to do with her is my business." I smirk at the look on her face "let us skip all the bs shall we? I am far older than you. I am far more dangerous than you. And I consider that girl my family and I will be damned if I'm going to watch her go through that again."

"what are you?" she uttered. I was going to say something along the lines of it not being any of her damn business when the door opened and students piled in. I was turning to walk away when an ice cold hand closed around my wrist, something very few people get away with. Looking me dead in the eyes with slightly panicked ones "what did he do to her?" I shouldn't answer her. I doubt she deserves one just yet. "he broke her." With that I walked away and headed for art. Walking into the room I catch the concerned look on Izz's face and the cautious one on the other Miss Denali. I'm sure they both heard. "was that wise sister?"

"Probably not."

Class went by uneventful and quickly, unless you count the obnoxious boy Alex trying to get my number constantly and the looks from Miss Denali. After school we walked silently towards my bike, that's when I saw them again. The look on her face wasn't hard to miss, it was of utter heartbreak as Izz climbed on behind me. My suspicions were pretty much confirmed then and there. Sighing I sped off home to grab the truck and pick up Ivory. Izz decided to stay home an get started on dinner. Pulling into the parking lot I wasn't surprised to see both Miss Denali's out front with Ivory's teacher. I was however surprised to see another stunning woman with them, she also had blonde hair, but unlike the others hers was platinum and straight down her back. She had on a white sweater tight sweater with a grey jacket on over it. A white beanie light blue jeans and snow boots. She was in a word, breathtaking. I felt all of their eyes turn towards me but mine stayed glued to hers as they met her golden honey ones. Her mouth dropped open slightly as I froze. It can't be. My inner battle was interrupted by the "mommy mommy!" as Ivory ran up to me and into my arms. "hey lil demon, how was school."

"good, wana meet my teacher?"

"hmm sure why not" anything to get closer to her. She practically dragged me over to them. "This my teacher Mrs. Carmen. This my mommy." I look at the older woman who must have been turned in her early 30's. she had a kind smile on her face aimed at my little girl before looking to me. "hello dear it's nice to meet you." Her heavily accented voice reached my ears "you as well. I hope she hasn't been to much trouble."

"no, no trouble at all she's a little angel." Ha my little girl? Seriously? "An angel huh. Well that's good." She was just about to reply when she was interrupted by the goddess, "hi I'm Katarina, or Kate, you have my sisters as teachers." Katarina hmm "pleasure" I purr out automatically as I take her cold hand in my warm one. I watch in satisfaction as she shivers lightly at the touch. As tempting as it was to continue it reminded me of Bells. So I turned toward Tanya with a sigh "is she your mate?" I shocked all of them, and even my extraordinary hearing almost missed her uttered "yes."

"I knew that fucker wasn't her mate!" I hissed out, he wouldn't have left if he was, he couldn't have it would have been impossible, and very painful. "mommy are we going? We were gona watch a movie."

"aye little demon." As I picked her up. I look toward her one more time and can see that this is truly her mate, she's already in pain form being away from her. I can tell I don't need to threaten her, to warn her, "good luck." Was all I said as I turned to walk away. She's going to need it, Isabella's emotions are so shut off I doubt a tank could get through to her. She reminds me of myself in the past during the wars, during…well anyways, I hope she gets through to her, she needs it.

It wasn't until midnight when the pain hit me, and it hit hard. I lurched forward into a sitting position as my stomach felt like a knife was being plunged through it and twisted. Sweat was pouring down my face and I felt like I was burning from inside out, which is something considering I can manipulate fire. My body was shaking so bad I barely made it to the bathroom before my dinner rose up my throat. It took me an hour to empty my stomach fully and another 20 minutes of dry heaving for my body to realize it was empty. I was planning on heading back to bed to lay down and get rid of the pounding in my head, blood rushing behind my ears but as soon as I stood my world spun and I dropped back down to my knees.

The bathroom floor is where I remained until o woke the next morning to a hand shaking me, "it's fine dad I got her. Angel wake up."

"mmph not going."

"I know but we got to get you off of the floor, your freezing." Freezing? Are you sure I feel like I'm on fire. "come on sister up we go."

"mm Ivory?"

"leaving for school."

"mmph comfy here."

Isabella POV

I cant believe she would get off the bathroom floor, what the hell is wrong with her. I have never seen her so sick. I hope she is ok home alone, maybe I should have stayed. I was jolted out of my thoughts when I ran into what I thought was a wall until two cold arms wrapped around me. However those arms did not belong to who I thought they would "are you alright Isabella?" Irina Denali asked as she helped steady me. "yes Miss Denali I'm fine thank you. I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going."

"that's quite alright, you seemed pretty focused on your phone, and please call me Irina." In other words you could have stepped out of the way. "ok Irina. And yah my sister is home sick I was trying to check on her."

"sister?"

"Yes Angel."

"She's your sister?" I swear she's trying not to laugh right now. "Not biologically, but Tanya isn't yours biologically is she?"

"Touché. No she isn't. well I hope she is doing ok. You should get to class." She quickly let go of me completely and walked off down the hall looking a little scared. Looking toward my math class Miss Denali stood at her door as usual but instead of looking at me her eyes were on her sister's retreating back, and she looked furious. Wonder why.

I walked right past her and into second period a few doors down form her. I never heard a word the teacher said and almost got caught texting. I even tried to enter her mind but she was either asleep or closed off from me. My dad must have felt how worried I was though as he called me while I was headed for math, she stood at the door eyes locked on me. "hey dad."

"hey Bells you alright?"

"Yah just worried about Angel, she's not answering me and I can't get through to her."

"I'm on lunch so I'm going to head home and check on her, don't worry."

"Thanks dad, love you."

"you to kiddo." With that I walked toward the door with a "hi miss Denali." Shocking the hell out of her considering I usually ignore her. "good afternoon Isabella, how are you?"

"ok thank you, here's the homework." And headed for my desk in the front row. I guess it wouldn't hurt to be nice, or at least civil.

Charlie POV

I pulled into the driveway to see Bella's truck, she must have taken the bike, damnit. I know she's a lot tougher since the change but she's still my little girl and I worry, its Alaska there is ice everywhere. Heading up the stairs and into the open bathroom where she was last, there she was, Angel the girl I have come to see as a second daughter, laying on the floor in the fetal position passed out and shivering. I scoop her up in my arms knowing a hospital is out of the question and head downstairs where I can put her on the couch. I crank the heat up and start a fire, her skin was like ice to the touch which was something considering we run much higher then humans. Human, something I was not even a year ago. Who never would have believed in any of this had I not been thrown into it, had my baby girl not been. I threw a few blankets over her and grab my phone to call work. "hello?" the heavily accented voice answers, "Eleazar its Charlie."

"Charlie is everything alright?"

"yah yah, I'm just not gona be able to make it back to work today, one of my girls is pretty sick."

"Ahh I see we understand, I hope she's ok."

"thanks I'm sure she will be fine. I just don't want to leave her alone right now." We said our goodbyes and I headed back to check on her. She was stirring awake, "hey there pup."

"hey old man" her hoarse voice whispered back. "what happened?"

"I think-I think I found my mate."

"Mate? That's great!" she had explained mates to us a while back, and she had been without one for awhile so this is awesome. Though instead of agreeing she let out a gurgled laugh "I don't know if I would say great Charlie I feel like shit, and it's a vampire." Vampire? "wait what? Vampire? As in I want to suck your blood vampire? They exist?"

"Bella is going to kill me."

"Bella knows?"

I can't believe what I have just learned. Vampires, the Cullen's were vampires, my daughter dated one knowing that. We were both killed by vampires.
