Bella's POV:
I have a shield, which is really great, I can block other vampires gifts and that is a real great thing. I 'm driving to school now, and I'm a little nervous of what the people here will say about me. Everyone is talking about me, I noticed. If I could still blush I would blush now, but luckily I can't. I saw some kind walking towards me. "Hey, I'm Mike Newton, you're Bella right?' Yeah, as if you don't know. "Yeah, I'm Bella" "Would you like to go out sometime?" That kid had courage! "Ehm, I don't think that's a good idea ehm, Mike" His face turned sad but I couldn't feel sorry for him, he was just another player, most human boys were. I looked at my schedule and I saw my first class was biology, so I went to the biology classroom. When I walked in, I smelled it, there was someone not human in this room. I looked trough the room and then I saw it, a vampire.
Edward's POV:
There was a new girl at school, and everyone was talking about. I didn't pay much attention to it. Humans were al the same. I went to biology and took my original place. Then I heard the new girl had biology to. I immediately knew that the only free place was next to me. That's bad.. She walked in, and I tried to smell her, but what I smelled wasn't human, but it wasn't something else to. I saw her staring at me with great eyes, and I knew she knows I'm a vampire. She smelled good, really good, like flowers, but it was in no way human. I looked into her eyes, she had light brown eyes, so there was no way she was vampire. I didn't have the intention to kill her, because I didn't smell much blood in her. When I tried to read her thoughts, I couldn't. I was shocked. This was a real strange thing.
I whispered to the other in a very low voice which human couldn't hear: "There's a problem. The new girl. She's in no possible way human, but she isn't a vampire to. I smell blood in her but not as much as in a normal human. She has light brown eyes, so not red and not gold. And, I can't read her thoughts." Immediately I heard all the thoughts of my family. Alice, Rosalie, Jasper and Emmet. And of course there were Carlilse and Esme, in some way my foster parents. But they looked to old for high school. So Esme was home all the time and Carlilse worked at the hospital. Yeah, I really could handle blood the best. Alice thought: Well, that's strange, if I were you I would talk to here. Rosalie thought: We really should talk to her. Emmet: AWESOME! There's going to happen something in this boring town. How like Emmet. And Jasper just thought: Well, we'll know soon enough.
Class went by very slow, I couldn't concentrate on what Mr. Bannerwas telling, I was just focusing on the new girl. I stared at her, and when she stared back, she quickly turned away. When the bell rang, she immediately stood up, as if she knew the bell would ring at that exact same time. Which was impossible of course, because only vampires can do that. So I followed her a little faster than humans would, and I blocked her way.
Bella's POV:
I chuckled in myself, I was chuckling about Edward. He was trying to figure out what I was, but he didn't knew it. That's quite strange for an centuries year old vampire, I thought. But then I remembered what Katie said: "me and my brother are the only ones of our kind" so now there were three of 'our' kind, and I was one of them. Of course Edward never saw a half human half vampire, I doubt if he even know that they exist. I noticed I had some odd feeling inside of me. When I tried to figure out what it was, I realized: love. How could that be possible? Love? Me? Some kind of a vampire? I became dizzy, and when I heard the bell rang I quickly walked out of the classroom, I needed some alone time. Then I noticed Edward came after me, and I realized I found that nice, it felt good.
So I stopped to wait for Edward. And when he reached me I saw he was looking curiously to me, still trying to figure out what I am.
"Hi, I didn't introduce myself in class, how rude of me. I'm Edward Cullen, you're Isabella Swan right?" Yeah, he should have heard it already, he's a vampire of course. I decided to tease him. "Yes, I indeed am. How did you know? Oh, and I prefer Bella." I saw is pale skin turn even more paler, if that was even possible. "The whole school is talking about it, you know, it isn't like I could ignore all the talking." Great, the whole school was talking about me, of course I already heard it, but hearing it from someone else wasn't a real great thing.
"Yeah, I already noticed that people stared at me and were talking about me." His eyes were a little black I noticed now. I wondered if he was so good in resisting the scent of blood as I became in the past few months. Of course he was, he must be older than me, much older. Compared to other I was a very young 'vampire'. Newborns, so they call that. "Bella. As I may call you that, would you like to come to my house? Just to pay us a visit?" Of course I would, I was dying to tell them everything. "Yes, I would really love that. I'll be there at 4. And don't worry, I'll find it by myself" I said when I saw his confused look. And than I turned and walked towards the cafeteria.
Edward's POV:
My whole family was waiting for her to arrive, because when I told them all everything about Bella, they looked all as confused as I was. She couldn't be a vampire, because we all saw that she actually ate human food. And vampires can't even smell it, it's so disgusting. We heard a car speeding towards our house. Amazed that she found it, and amazed about her speed I prepared myself for her arriving. Then we heard the doorbell, and we all shifted a bit from how we were standing, and I walked to the door to open it.
"Hello" she said when she saw me. I looked her deep in her eyes, and felt something strange, I feeling I never had before. But before I had even the opportunity to consider what it was, I heard Alice speeding towards her. Alice of course had a vision about her and Bella being great friends, so, knowing Alice, she wouldn't miss an opportunity to talk to Bella.
"Hey, I'm Alice! How lovely to meet you, Edward told me a lot about you." The little pixie started jumping and Bella laughed at her excitement. "Now, would you like to meet the other members of our family?" I said and she looked at me with an intense gaze. I couldn't get my eyes of her, and next to me I saw that Alice started jumping again and now she was even clapping her hands. I listened to her thoughts and saw she had a vision. I saw me and Bella on my meadow, and, we were kissing. I saw our glares at each other and I realized than: she's my mate. That all hit me like a bomb, and I suddenly couldn't move anymore.
Alice had already taken Bella to our living room, where the others of my family were waiting. When I came in, now amazed about my discovery, I realized I really was in love with Bella, the way I looked at her, the way I wanted to protect her. Damn Edward, you're in love.
The others of my family introduced themselves at Bella, and when I touched her skin for the first time I noticed she wasn't cold as ice, as we are, but not as warm as humans either. Carlisle started talking: "Hey Bella, I have to say it's really nice to meet you" she looked at him in amazement and than answered is politely. "It's really nice to meet you to Carlilse, and it's nice to meet the rest of you too." And then Emmet boomed out a laughter. Carlilse frowned at him and so did the rest of the family, when he said: "hahahaha you should see all our faces when we touched her, hahahahahahaha, and Bella is still being polite to us, so that means you are a bit of a strange person." The last part of the sentence he turned to Bella and she laughed at him, which made Rosalie laugh. And than Esme was laughing just because her children were laughing.
"Well, I think it's rude but my patience is running out, and I'm dying to know what's the mystery behind you" Carlilse said. "Let's take it slow!" I growled at him. I felt over protective about her, and that just confirmed what I saw. She's my mate. I saw Esme glaring at me, and than she smiled towards me. She knows it to, she could see it on my face, I'm some kind of her son after all. "Don't bother" Bella said. "I don't mind, I can really understand that you're al dying to know my secret." "But there's something else" Carlilse said. "You look completely at ease with us, you don't get away from us as most human do, and you don't even run away when you feel our could skin. So I assume you already know about us." Everybody looked at him in shocked, he was about to tell her what we are, even when he didn't know that she knew what we are. "Yes, I know you guys are vampires." The complete ease she had with that was amazing me. "So if you know, how could you stand sitting next to me like that today at biology?" I asked her.
"Well, because I know you can't hurt me, you know. Well, as a matter of fact, you cán hurt me, but you can't make me die." "But you're not a vampire!" Emmet said. "Well I am, and I am not too. It's just how you look at it." AMAZING I heard Carlilse think, and when he saw me listening to his thoughts he started translating some songs in Arabic. "Well, I think I know what you are by now" he said. She stared at him with disbelief: "I didn't know normal vampires knew, I thought there were only three of us." He nodded and than said: "I've been living for almost four centuries now, I've been studying al kinds of things, and I discovered that something like you can be made, and if someone like you bites a human, they turn into someone like you. The last thing happened to u I guess?" I was completely bewildered and I couldn't discover what he was thinking, nor could I discover what he was talking about. So was the rest of my family.
"So" she said. "I think I need to explain it to the others of your family" she said to Carlilse. He nodded. "I'm half human, half vampire."
