When I awoke, I was the only one in the room, that is who was still alive. My poor sisters corpses lay on the ice cold floor, all pale with every last drop of blood drained out of them. What on earth could this mean? They were completely drained of blood, but yet there was no blood surrounding them on the floor.
It overwhelmed me so much that I started to cry. But no tears came out. My cries were dry. No tears. I could not bear to be in this marble cellar where now the floors held my sisters corpses.
As I had got myself up I stumbled over to the wooden door which was laid slightly ajar. As I got out I could sense that my Father was searching for me. I had no wish to see him so I hid. I hid out of hatred.
And that is what sparked it. Hatred. Hatred sparked the blood in me to activate. There was a sharp pain through my whole body. Not just one place, but everywhere. It felt like I was being stabbed by millions of knives all over.
Then Father found me.
JUNE 12th 1890
In 1485 we discovered that we were not the only mythical creatures in existence. There were werewolves, shape-shifters, us, the vampires… left. My father doesn't like any other mythical creatures who aren't vampires. So starting 100 years ago all of us vampires gained up and started a war between us and the werewolves and shape-shifters. It started when we moved to America. From what we know, all werewolves and shape-shifters are now non-existent. While the war was going on of course my father, as the King (I guess you could say), went to fight. I was stuck in Modesto, California, a place that no humans knew about. A place that all of us vampires created right before that war. My Father did not allow me to go with him to fight. Before he left he told me it was so I would be safe. Yeah right. Safe? Or out of the way?
We won the war and had managed to kill all werewolves and shape-shifters in existence. That was a good thing. But shortly after the war the government found out about our town and we quickly left.
Present
"I hate having to go to school just so people don't get suspicious about us. It is so pointless. I have probably memorized every subject." I was talking at human volume and mom was on the opposite side of the 10 bedroom house and down three flights of stairs.
"I know Hun. I am sorry but you have too." She replied at the same volume I had spoken at.
About a quarter of a mile away we could both hear the bus coming. I grabbed my bag and flew at vampire speed to the front door.
As I walked out the door mom reminded saying, "Don't forget that we are 'new to the area' so you won't know where anything is."
"Okay. Bye mom. Love you." How boring. Yeah, we have been gone for a little while, but I knew I couldn't know where anything was. Sigh.
"And Bella, don't forget not to scare anyone like last time." She just had to bring that up. We had to move again because I got caught in P.E. by accidentally running really fast around the gym and hitting the volleyball in the wall with vampire force, and the volleyball went straight through the wall. My dad, Aro, had to erase all of everyone's memories of me. He can add or remove people's memories, my mom can control the werewolves and shape-shifters minds into thinking or doing whatever she wanted them to do as well as freeze time. And I, I am able to be a mental and physical shield.
The bus passed my house and I jogged at human speed to the bus stop. As I got on the bus, every pair of human eyes turned to look at me. I only recognized one person. Rosalie. I could sense her before I even got on the bus. She was the only person that I was not tempted to kill.
She was sitting by herself, with no one in front of her and no one behind her or to the side. "Hello Bella. Nice to see you again." She is my bodyguard as well as my friend. My father hired her to be my body guard because Charlie finds it necessary for a vampire to protect another vampire. That is why three out of the four houses surrounding mine was occupied with about thirty body guards. It was utterly unneeded. That one house that is right next to me is vacant.
As the bus started to drive off, I started looking at the too familiar town, only to notice that the town was actually really different than what it had been in the 1700's. Now Modesto is a pretty big city in California.
The bus pulled up to the Modesto high school and all the kids got off the bus. Today was going to be a boring day. It was so annoying to know that I know everything that I am going to be taught, but I still have to endure eight hours a day and five days a week. Just burn me now and save me the pain! As Rosalie and I got off the bus all of the students attention was drawn to us. And we knew why.
It was because our hair that is always perfect, our slender figures, our shiny hair, our 'perfume', our smiles, and so on. Ha humans have horrible eye sight. I wish that for just once we could fit in. even when I was a human I was not allowed to go to a public school. Instead I had tutors. I can kinda understand why I was not allowed to go to a public school. It was because girls back then were not allowed to have an education. Only princesses and queens knew everything that the men knew.
Finally we made it to our first periods. I had chemistry with Mr. Wilkinson and Rosalie had chemistry right next door to my classroom. Oh the joy. Again as I walked through the room everyone looked at me. Even Mr. Wilkinson. Ew. Unfortunately nobody wanted the front and I was one of the last students in the classroom. Great. I went up to the front of the room and took a seat. As soon as I sat down the bell rang and Mr. Wilkinson started his first lecture of the year.
"Okay class. I am Mr. Wilkinson. You are only allowed to call me Mr. Wilkinson because that is the proper way to say it. Okay well I need to take rule so when I call your name say here. Jessica?"
"here"
It continued like this for a long time. In my head I was counting how many names he called. 4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26. I knew it was my turn next. I knew that every pair of eyes would turn to me. I just knew it. That is why I was surprised when he didn't say my name.
"Edward?"
"Here! Sorry I am late Mr. Wilkinson. My sister was driving and she got lost and didn't listen to us." He ran in the room quickly for a human. There was only two seats open. One was by me and the other was three seats down.
Thankfully he looked in my direction and blushed. Ha he should be embarrassed I would be too. When he blushed is when it hit me. The smell was nerve wracking. His blood smelled delicious. Thankfully he ended up sitting in the chair that was not next to me.
"Bella?"
"I am here Mr. Wilkinson." The period droned on in the type of manner that you expect on the first day of school. Finally the bell rang and I ran not caring that I was running at vampire speed. Slightly. I was almost to my next class which happened to be Pre-Calculus as Rosalie stopped me in my paths. Oh I was in for it. I forgot to block my mind from her. I tried to go around her, but couldn't.
"WHAT WAS UP WITH YOUR THOUGHTS LAST PERIOD?!"
Crap.
