Chapter One: New World, Old Life
'I can't tell who is worse my cousin, or Edward.' Bella thought with a huff after Sookie turned back to making lunch. 'This isn't even funny; I mean who trusts a complete stranger just because they said they were family, I mean really?' Bella really couldn't believe how easy it was to gain entrance into the home of one Sookie Stackhouse. 'I wonder if she'll notice if I slipped away fro…' Bella's train of thought was interrupted when Sookie turned back around with a small smile on her face. "I'm sorry that Gran isn't here yet, she can sometimes get caught up in talking with her friends at the store." Sookie said with a twinkling laugh as she stirred the soup that was bubbling away happily on the stove. "That's alright; I did drop by unannounced after all." Bella gave her cousin a nervous smile before curiosity took. "I noticed that everyone seemed to be buzzing about something when I was sitting at that bar, Merlotte's, not to far from here."
Sookie thought for a moment, the wooden spoon just barely touching her chin, before her eyes light up in excitement. "Oh! Bon Temps is getting its very first vampire!" Bella's face went from curiosity to being completely dumbfounded. 'I hope she isn't being serious and I highly doubt this will be their very first vampire, just the first known one.' Bella thought with a neutral smile.
"Wow, that does sound interesting." Sookie's smile just got brighter as she turned back to the soup.

Bella had only alone for roughly ten minutes before the front door opened and she heard someone shuffling around; getting up, Bella silently made her way towards to living room/den area. "Sookie, is that you sweetheart?" A voice called out from the front door.

"Are you sure you're alight Sookie? I know you said that vampire healed you and everything, but it was still a traumatic experience emotional." Bella said, concerned for her newly found cousin. "I fine Bella, Bill made sure I would be before he left." Sookie said, tired from both work and dealing with the Rattays. "If you're sure, then alright; did Bill say why he had to leave?" Bella asked curiously. "No, I don't think so. He looked up after he healed me and left quickly." Sookie said thoughtfully before speaking again. "I am going to go over tomorrow and thank him though." Bella raised an eyebrow at Sookie. "But I thought these vampires can't stay awake during the day?" Sookie became thoughtful again. "Maybe he has a Dayman that I could leave a message with?" Bella smiled at her. "That's true; you should give it a try then."

"Is everything going as planned Young One?" Feminine snort sounded in the small clearing. "There was a small hiccup concerning our dear cousin, V drainers, and the dark haired vampire; but other then that everything is going smoothly Grandfather." A chuckle was heard over the phone. "Looks like you are not the only one to attract trouble my dear; from now on I shall be the one to contact you should there be any change of plans, understand?" The young woman frowned for a moment before she answered. "I understand."
