Chapter one.

School

School. Or as I like to call it prison made for kids. Okay maybe I am over reacting but honestly couldn't the teachers make it fun rather than a place where you passed your exams or you start all over again. I looked over to the table behind me and saw everybody gawking at me like I was stupid or something. Then I realised people would be staring at me. I wasn't the only one who knew I was no ordinary new student.

*Flashback*

"Hey you're Darcie-Laura, right?" A boy from behind me had worked up the courage to speak to the new girl. Me.

"Hi. Yeah but just call me Darcy. Okay." I pointed out my name at the top of my English book.

"Hi i'm Mike, Mike Newton. Do you know your way around the school yet? Or do you need mates to sit with at lunch?"

I laughed out loud at the mention of food and eating. In my mind I imagined myself eating human food. How disgusting.. Mike blushed. I couldn't help it. I looked at Mike from underneath my long eyelashes and smiled. He just stood there gazing at me like I was the sun in his everlasting night. I knew what he was thinking at that minuet, it didn't take a genius.

Shes beautiful. Mike stop gawking at her, shes just a girl. I wouldn't mind looking for a penny in a haystack with her. I bet Tylers thinking the same thing maybe I should make my move sooner rather than later.

"Mark" I knew his name but maybe he would leave me alone if I made one mistake."I'm new but I'm still a girl, I have a boyfriend" Total lie I told myself But I was a convincing lier. "I can make friends by my self So thanks but no thanks."

Then the bell went. Thank god. Mike walked sulkly off to his seat and remained silent for the rest of the lesson. I shook my ginger hair about me as Mr. Warner started talking about Cell membranes. A subject I had learned inside out and upside down.

*Flashback ends*

I remembered in my head that was when I had the feeling someone was watching me. Someone other than everybody else. That was the feeling I had now. The feeling like I was being very carefully watched. I closed my eyes and stood up. Surely somebody in the caffeteria would notice I hadn't touched my 'food'. I had to distract them. I opened my eyes hearing the chatter of homework, parties and Darcy Laura Waters ringing in my ears. I started to concentrate on everything behind me and I found the perfect distraction. The fire bell. I stretched my boundaries further and I focused on breaking the glass and flicking the switch on the fire bell. Sure enough a few seconds later I heard moans and groans as the loud ringing began. I smiled in delight as all my efforts had not been in spite. Now I could miss Gym and not be noticed going home. My involvement with the fire bell took less than 10 seconds and I was still sat in my seat. I whispered to myself just how much I really loved this power I had. I loved the control it gave me to control whatever object I want when ever I have the strength.

Slowly I stood up and grabbed my untouched food from the dirty table I sat at. All the way to the trash can I wondered what would happen if I did start eating human food rather that my momentary diet. I happened to see my reflection in the inperfect window directly across the cafeteria. I stared at myself. With my slightly curled ginger hair, my pale smooth face, no make up needed my light butterscotch brown eyes. The way my clothes, An almost vivid green long sleeved v-neck top and my stonewashed jeans. I looked completely plain and boring for a vampire.

At the last word I mentally said, a sharp movement in the reflection of this glass caught my attention. I stared into these eyes which where now piecing me sharply as in to talk about a secret. Slowly, I torn my eyes away from the other pair of eyes and turned to face the owner. I was facing most possably the most handsome human I had ever seen. His skin pale as mine was but not quite as chalky. He was still facing me but instead of looking confused he was angry. I realised something about his face which was again similar to mine. As I gasped I forgot my self control. All of the salt shakers exploded around the tables. In a nomal situation I would have screamed along with everyone else and pretended to know nothing of what had just happen. But there was no one in the room thanks to my little fire bell distraction and there was nothing normal about this situation. The thing that I had noticed from before where the boy's eyes. They were exactly the same colour as mine. But he couldn't know that I was a vampire. He flinched again as I said the word in my head. I didn't mean for him to be offended by me saying that. He looked down at his plate of food and smiled a crooked smile as I thought this.

One small cough brought me out of this daze for a short time as I noticed we were not alone in this room after all. His friends were sitting around this table all staring at me. Processing their expressions wasn't hard. A small Girl with jet black hair had a beaming smile on her face. She reminded me of a little planning Elf or a pixie. The man next to her had mousey blonde hair was looking at me in a state of shock which I think may have matched my face completely. Next was a stunning Beauty with long flowing goldren hair. She looked like a fairytale come to life. Rapunzel maybe or sleeping beauty. Maybe the first one because she was a beauty but maybe sleeping was kinda out of the question. Another chuckle escaped the first man's lips. A charming smooth amazingly lovely chuckle.

This blonde girl gave the laughing friend a look of daggers and then looked straight back to me as if she if jealous. The next person at the round table was a massive man who reminded me of a protective bodyguard especially to the blonde beautiful girl next to him. Never the less he gave me a warm smile which I returned but it quickly vanished as the girl next to him gave a low growl. The last person on this glass covered table was a girl with brown hair and intensely brown eyes. This girl I was sure was human for one she smelled amazing. Now it was the handsome boys turn to growl, I couldn't cope with him the gentle one growling at me for saying something. It took me a few more seconds to realise I hadn't said anything at all. I had thought that. One most gasp was in order but I restrained myself from breaking anything other than a small window in the door. The girl I had just thought about was in her own, human way really quite beautiful, with her pale skin and almost perfect completion. The girl turned around in her seat untangling herself from the arms of the gentle boy.

In a flowery voice she said to me "Hi. My name's Bella Swan." She smiled and I smiled back.

"Hi, I'm Darcy Laura Waters, but you can call me Darcy, Bella." Really I didn't know why she was talking to me when I am quite obviously not the kind of social person.

She blushed and looked down as the boy next to her stood up too. He gave that perfect, delightful smile again and she glanced up at him. "Hello, I'm Edward Cullen and these are my brothers and sisters" he said. "Plus I would seriously appreciate it if you A. Wouldn't think of my girlfriend as something to eat and B. Please stop exploding anonymous objects all over the place"

"I wasn't trying to blow things up all over the place. Especially seen as one of those things is the window. And I also wasn't going to hurt Bella I was just admiring how amazing she smells."

The blonde was the only one to break the awkward silence after my sentence."So woo hoo. Alice was right we did find the red head freak. Can we please get on with our half lives now? Please? Because I really just wanna go home and work on my car. Seen as I got told to bring it to school today, I think you owe me that much Edward."

"Rosalie, So if I have this right you don't care about anything anymore, even this girl who stands in front of us when she knows or at least will know everything about us. You know as well as I do we can't just leave this girl here. I mean look what she's wearing for one. Are you not just dying, metaphorically saying, to give her a makeover?"

I looked at myself in the window again. I didn't look that bad today. I was wearing my best day clothes and in Forks that meant a sweater and jeans. They didn't look bad in fact I though they looked quite nice. And then I saw what the family was wearing. Designer things with no labels. High heels, expensive taste. No matter if they were human or not they proved they had great taste and they were loaded.

This I was surprised to hear came from the pixie looking girl rather that Edward's mouth. After she had finished her monologue her face went completely blank and unresponsive. I was scared at first but no one else looked freaked at all, like this was normal. I was staring at her until I realised what I actually was doing. Being completely rude and gawking at a girl I didn't know that name of. Next thing I knew She had come out of her own haze and started practically jumping up and down in her seat just shout 'Yay!'

After a minute of calming down I had to ask a few questions to this family and one I had only thought of when I was starting at Alice, I had learned the pixie girl's name after Everyone trying and failing to calm her down.

"Alice please stop being so excited about a makeover, okay. It's making me feel uncomfortable. Especially since I am now thinking of things I really don't wanna think about." Edward started to say.

"And I bet Jasper Isn't feeling any better about it. Plus, I think that Darcy needs to know some answers to her questions. Starting with the man next to Rosalie is Emmett. He may look scary but he's not half as big as he thinks he is. The guy sitting to Alice is Jasper. The reason I think he is becoming uncomfortable is that he can control everyone's emotions. Like you can control the things around you. Like Alice can see the controlled future. Like I can read people's minds. Well certain peoples' minds. And yes we are vampires like you."

One thousand things ran through my head at once and I just stopped breathing for a moment completely. I wasn't alone. Other vampires in the world or other people with powers like mine. Alice knew about me, Jasper could control emotions. Edward could read minds. I mean what was up with here. Forks. Freakier stuff has happened right? No, not right I mean a coven of vampires and family of vampires. Who knew about me. Help. I know I can think of too many things at the same time but this is too much. I couldn't process so much information. Way too much to learn on your first day of school. I just felt like running home. No driving home. Much better I could think for longer. Before I even knew what I was doing I walked out of the cafeteria with my keys already in my hand and reached my car in record time, walking human pace. I got in and found a phone number shoved into my truck through the crack in the window. On the piece of paper it said:

Hi Darcy. Here's my number, call me. I know you'll need too.

Love Alice xx

I stared at the note as I drove home not needing my concentration on the road. I reached my house and locked my Mini away. After I had read pride & prejudice for the thirty fourth time I decided to go for a swim. To let me hair loose and breathe as the case may be.

After five minutes of running straight, I saw a pool of clear blue water. Cool water. A place to clear my head alright. Forgetting everything I dived in and let the cool water seep through my clothes. The water. It felt like velvet being caressed over my skin. My cool, stone still, pale white skin. I decided to stay with the trees by that pool all night thinking things over. But really all I was thinking about was the Cullen's eyes over and over again. And now and then Bella's eyes popped into my head and the emotion behind them crept back into me, her scent, her mouth watering scent and yet somehow I know I wouldn't have hurt her. Maybe it was Edward's reaction by then again maybe it was the way I thought of her as one of the Cullen's herself. Whatever it was I could think about it later because that was one of the only plus's about being a Vampire. There is always time for later.

My first school day and probably my Last because after swimming I had made up my mind never to step foot in Forks high school again.
