Forks, Washington. Probably the most annoying town I have ever seen. It was easy to enroll in the high school there under the name of Skyler Jasen. A changed letter for safety. I kept to the corners and pretended to be invisible which worked, in till lunch. Apparently this school doesn't get new kids all that often.
And then I spotted him. Sitting there with the rest of the Cullen's and the girl. What a stupid girl. She look scared but with Edward at her side she also looked calm. Well shit, she knows what they are. She is a stupid girl. I got up and walked over to the salad bar which just happen to be right next to their table today. This was my favorite part of the game. They all looked at me at the same time. the glance that went unnoticed by the human. Then she did notice and they all snapped back to their normal persona's. I grinned. But I couldn't help but shake a little inside. My brother was right there and he didn't recognize me. My grin was gone. Poor little Bella looked up at me and smiled. I gave her a fake smile back. I left the lunch room with a look back at the table. They were looking again the corners of my mouth grinned again. They knew who I was, a vamp hunter on the prowl.
It was Saturday and I sat quietly in the woods staring at the Cullen's house. When unexpectedly Bella rolled up with Edward. Seemed like it was time to meet the family. That poor girl. I let my thought drift think of Kody and Lily, when they all were suddenly in the garage. Getting ready for something. A crack of thunder shook the ground. They were going to play baseball. Bella and Edward left. I followed the rest of the clan to a open baseball field. When Edward arrived the game began. It was really interesting. And then more some when they all froze. I could same them to, three very unexpected visitors. That wont help, I could smell her across the field, the small one Alice said in a sharp but worried voice.
As I watched I realized it, when the visitors found out what Bella was, the leader wanted her as food. The Cullen's didn't want to hurt her. Edward loved her. Oh Lord...the visitors took off. But the Cullen's moved faster they had Bella out of there quick. I jumped back to their house and prepared myself to help in this situation. Because of coarse I must help the humans and Bella was now being hunted.
I stepped out n to the clearing, they were all in the garage.
"We do not have time for this Hunter." Jasper said.
"I know. Thought maybe I could be of some help." a sly smile creeped on my face. The blond, Rosalie came from no where and slammed me against the garage wall. I let out a painful hiss but didn't struggle. My face was pressed against the wall with my arms wrapped around my back. It hurt.
"Rose, no." Carlisle said, "She could be helpful. Hunters have protective shields." I noticed one of the visitors with Carlisle. Odd. She let me go.
"Explain." She said.
"I was sent to keep an eye out on Bella. Edwards thoughts about her were not particularly clean when he first met her. And the names Skyler."
"Edward would never hurt Bella." Esme stated.
"Well not now..." I grinned a little.
"How do we know we can trust you?" Jasper asked.
"Umm you can't." I said half jokingly. Then in seriousness I said, "My job is to protect humans from the likes of you." I looked right at the stranger. "The Cullen's so far have proved how much of a threat they are not." That was when everyone else pulled up. We ran back in to the House. I followed quietly. Edward automatically wanted to hurt the stranger. The big bear looking one Emment looked at me. I grinned, his face was priceless but Rosalie was already explaining. Their plan was quite genius. Then I got involved.
Carlisle involved me, "Take Skyler to Phoenix."
"What!" was the reaction from more then one vamp. I laughed out loud.
"Her skills are very useful. We can trust her." I had never had vamps trust me before. I was hard because I sure a hell didn't trust them. Jasper's face was dark but Alice was the one that surprised me.
"OK. But I call shotgun." her tone was serious but I could tell she knew something. We loaded in to the car. Their good-byes to Bella and the promises to keep her safe almost made me cry. They all truly loved her. Edward gave me a dangerous look when he leaned in to Bella's window. I ignored it, as best I could.
At the hotel room in Phoenix, I kept to myself. Not like any of them talked to me anyways. Sleep was hard for me to find because I couldn't trust the vamps yet. Edward called a couple of times. But there was on phone call that put me on edge. How the other vamps didn't notice bugged me. After that phone call to Bella she seemed annoying edgy. Soon Edward called us back to Forks. At the airport Bella acted odd. When she left to the bathroom I followed and watched as she ran off outside. I listened as she told the cabby her destination and jumped to her house. When she arrived she was very surprised to see me.
"Not very smart Bella." I said.
"He has my mom. Hes at the ballet studio." That's when it kicked in. I cant let two humans die. I made a diceion and I knew Alice would see it. Bella and I ran to the studio. I grabbed her elbow and told her to stay close. When I entered I knew it was a trap. I could hear the TV. But Bella tore away from me and threw open a closets door. I heard an irritating chuckle. The idiot had not seen me.
"Sorry, about that Bella, but isn't better that your mother doesn't have to be involved in all this"
"Yes." Bella answered. He still hadn't seen me.
"You don't sound angry that I tricked you." He asked
"Im not" Bella said. Then I let my presence be known.
"I sure am. But what can you expect from a blood sucker like yourself." he froze. This guy was defiantly my level I wasn't worried. My only issue was that my weapons were not on me.
"I told you to came alone." He spoke to Bella.
"Oh she did. Have you not heard of what I am. Are you that naïve." I asked and then he put two and two together and lunged for me. A 'Run Bella' escaped my lips as my shield popped up and slammed the vamp in to the wall. He went for her instead. My mistake was throwing my self, shield less, in his path. Pain exploded through my body. Teeth ripped my skin and he threw me like a rag doll. I could hear him toying with Bella. Her threats leading to Edward and even I hoped they were on their way. In my last efforts I threw my shield out to Bella and that pissed him off. His foot hit me square in the head and I faded.
I could hear faded voices and the smell of a dead vamp. Most of my injuries were healed. I felt my head roll.
"Will she be Ok?" Rosalie asked.
"I think so give her a minute." Emmett answered. I heard Bella's screams and I leaped up. I turned to see Edward sucking on her arm. Emmett grabbed me before I could run towards him. He screamed at me that they were helping her. My injuries caught up to me again and I collapsed.
