I was on my way home from a movie with some friends. Tanya and Kate went with me to drop me off. I didn't want to be alone when he was on the loose.

"Thanks for the ride guys," I called when I walked up the walkway towards my house.

"No problem," Kate stated.

"See you Monday," Tanya yelled as she drove away. I wen through the front door of the house then.

"I'm home," I called as I hung up my coat in closet. There was no answer. "Mom…Dad?" Still no answer. I decided to walk up to my room. When I was about to enter my room, I tripped over a bat. "Urgh, Dylan!" I walked into his room. "I thought I told you never to leave your stuff in my room." He didn't answer. I thought he was sleeping because of he was lying on his stomach. "Hey! I'm talking to you," I stated as I pushed him with the bat. He didn't respond. When I pushed him a little harder, he rolled over. It reviled three stab marks in his abdomen area. I tried to stifle a scream that was rising in my throat. I couldn't believe that my brother was dead.

I then heard running footsteps coming from the hallway. I quickly crawled under the bed. My mother came into the room and closed the door. She stood in front of the door, and I heard banging from the other side of the door as the perpetrator tried to come in. He succeeded, and my mother was dropped to the floor.

He dropped to her level and questioned, "Where is she?" My stalker was in my house. I couldn't believe it.

"I already told you," my mother whimpered. I hated seeing like this.

"You're supposed to know where she is! You're her mother," he stated roughly.

"She's at a sleepover with her friends," she cried. He then started to stab her. I couldn't believe that I had watched my mother die. It was a terrible sight. It was a sight that would be ingrained into my memory forever.

Off into the distance outside my house, I heard a police siren. He quickly left the room. Once when I thought he was gone, I ran out of the room and out the front door.

"Help," I yelled when the police drove passed my house. I started jumping up and down to make him notice me. He drove right past me.

"Bella, get up," I heard someone tell me. "You're safe."

Soon, he came out of the shadows. "I told you you'd be mine."

I woke up from the dream screaming. That dream has been haunting me from that horrible night, and I never could get rid of them.

"Bella, you're okay," Emmett stated as I tried to calm down. I noticed that I was hyperventilating and shaking. I shouldn't be in this kind of state, but sadly I was. "You're okay, Bella." I nodded shakily.

Charlie then decided to burst into the room. He looked around, then he questioned, "What happened?"

"She was having a nightmare," Emmett answered because I could not. Charlie just simply nodded. They must have previously been warned. They warned the foster parents that I went to for that reason also.

"Are you alright, Bella," Charlie asked. He sounded so concerned.

"Just give me a minute," I whispered as I tried to get out of bed. Emmett held me down though. "Emmett, I have to go take my pills." He let go of me then. I walked to the bathroom and took the anxiety pills that were prescribed to me. After I did that, I walked back into my bedroom.

"Do you think that you'll be alright for school tomorrow," Charlie questioned.

"I think so," I stated as I crawled back into bed. I didn't truly want to stay here. I hated being alone all the time.

"Well, if you need to, Emmett can stay here also," Charlie stated.

"Maybe we can invite the whole gang to come here too," Emmett suggested.

"No, Emmett," Charlie said, "Only you two can skip for this reason."

"Not even Rosalie," Emmett asked.

"Especially Rosalie," Charlie stated.

"Fine," Emmett grumbled.

"I'll be fine," I said, "There is no need to skip school."

"Alright," Charlie stated, "Let's go to sleep. It's three o'clock in the bloody morning for crying out loud." We all took his advice, but I just stayed up in my bed just in case the nightmares come again. One of the therapists said that they will come when there is a transition in my life. Moving is a huge transition.

"Go to sleep, Bella," Emmett instructed. He must have figured out that I was going to be staying up to try and avoid sleep.

"Fine," I sighed. I listened to his instructions.

"Bells, wake up," Emmett stated. I couldn't believe that when I fell asleep this time that I didn't have the same nightmare. It was a relief. I just groaned. If I wasn't having a nightmare, I wanted to sleep more. "Come on, Bella, let's go to school."

"Urgh, fine," I said as I dragged myself out of my room to go take a shower. It felt so relaxing. It always had that kind of effect.

After I was done, I took my pills like I was suppose to, and then I continued with my morning routine. After I was done with that, I went downstairs to get breakfast. I could tell as I looked into the refrigerator that I needed to get more than just fish. The whole freezer was crowded with fish!

"Ready to go, Bells," Emmett questioned as he came downstairs. I just nodded. We headed to the jeep, and I jumped into the passenger seat. "We have to pick up Rosalie and Jasper today," he informed me as we backed out of the driveway. I just nodded once again. In less then two minutes, we were at Rosalie's house. Instead of getting out, Emmett just honked the horn.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," Rosalie shouted as she came out of the house. Jasper followed. It was amusing to see Rosalie like that. She had so much spunk.

"So how's your morning," Jasper asked politely as he hopped into the back after Rosalie. Emmett and I just shrugged.

"How're you doing," Rosalie asked me quietly from behind me. I just shrugged once again. She lightly patted my shoulder as a caring gesture.

"Ready to go," Emmett questioned. Before anyone could answer, we were off to school. No one really spoke in the car. I liked the silence though. It was better than talking.

"Let's go, Bella," Emmett stated as he opened the door of his side of the jeep. I did the same thing, but I had to jump down a little bit to get out of the jeep. I could tell that there was going to be accidents from this if there was ice. I probably should get my own car. It would be nice.

Emmett came around and threw his arm around my shoulder. I could tell that he was going to be doing this a lot. Rosalie had his other hand.

"Hey Mrs. Cope, my sister here wants to get her schedule," Emmett stated as we went into the office.

"You must be Isabella then," Mrs. Cope stated. She shuffled through some papers until she found my schedule. "Here's a map if you need it, dear, and have all of your teachers sign this please. Have a nice day." Then we headed out of the office.

"So what's your first class, Bella," Emmett questioned.

"English," I stated. I loved English. It was my favorite subject back in Phoenix. I just hoped that we were reading something new sometimes.

"Ben's in your class then," Rosalie said. I was thankful that someone was in my class that I would know.

"And here you go," Emmett stated, "If you have any troubles with anyone, and I mean anyone, just write down there name and hand me the list. Got it?" I just nodded with a small smile. I would have laughed before the incident really.

I walked into class, and I heard Emmett say to Rosalie, "I take the boys, and you take the girls." He was serious! I thought that he was joking. I didn't think that he would be serious at all.

"Could you sign this," I asked the teacher. She went right ahead and did this.

"This is your course guide," she said once she was done and handed me a sheet. "We are studying Romeo and Juliet right now. You can sit over there by Ben." I was ecstatic when I heard it was Romeo and Juliet. It was my favorite play. I was even happier when I saw that we were reading Wuthering Heights.

"Hey Bella," Ben greeted me as I took my seat.

"Hi Ben," I greeted back. I blocked out the whole hour really because I had already learn this stuff. Romeo and Juliet was my favorite movie.

After class, Rosalie helped me to go to Math. "Did anybody do anything," she questioned. I just shook my head. After Math, I went to choir. Emmett directed me there. He asked the same thing. It was finally lunch.

"Bella," Alice yelled from across the cafeteria. I had only taken one step into it. Everyone looked from her to me. I hated that they were staring at me. I went through the line, only getting lemonade, and then I walked towards the table. "So how's you're day so far?"

"It's alright," I answered before taking a drink of lemonade.

"That's all you're drinking," she questioned. I just nodded. "Emmett's not going to be happy." I just let the subject drop.

Even if I was going to answer, Emmett would have heard. "Bella," he scolded. I just looked at him. "Go get something to eat."

"I'm not that hungry, Emmett," I stated. It was true. I didn't want anything to eat.

"Isabella, now," he stated. I glared at him, while he glared at me. He knew how much I preferred Bella over Isabella. Eventually, I broke down and went to get something to eat.

"I'm going to make sure she has a proper lunch," Rosalie said before walking to where I was. "Don't be mad at Emmett. He's just trying to be a good brother to you. He hasn't seen you in a long time, and he's trying to make up for the years he's missed. He really loves that you're here, but you're so fragile that he doesn't know exactly how to handle it. He was scared when you woke up screaming this morning. He's just trying to protect you as much as he can, but eventually, he'll start to lay low."

"I'm just not use to having a big brother there," I stated.

She threw her arm around my shoulder and said, "I know. Emmett's great, and you already know that."

"Can I ask you something," I questioned Rosalie when we came out of the lunch line. She nodded. "How many people know?"

"I know because Emmett told me. We don't keep secrets from each other really. I don't think anyone else has been told except for the teachers. I'm not exactly sure though. The doctors might know also," she answered truthfully. I just nodded. I was glad that not many people knew about it.

"Better," Emmett commented as I sat back down. I just rolled my eyes.

"So what's your next class, Bella," Alice questioned.

"Biology," I stated.

"You'll have it with my brother then," she informed me. I just nodded.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear," I heard Rosalie mutter. Before I could ask, the chair next to me and the most angelic person next to me sat there.

"What do you want, Edward," Emmett questioned.

"I just want to introduce myself to the new student here," the guy (I'm presuming is Edward) stated. I recognized his voice to the one that showed up yesterday at our house. "Hi, I'm Edward Cullen."

"Bella, nice to meet you," I said as I held out my hand to shake. He shook it.

"So where are you from," he questioned.

"None of your business pee-brain," Emmett stated. I was happy when the bell rang. I didn't want to be around these two if they decided to fight.

"I'll take you to your next class," Rosalie stated as she got up; I did too. We dumped our trays then headed towards my classroom. Edward caught up to us. "What do you want, Cullen," Rosalie asked.

"Why is Emmett being so uptight," Edward questioned.]

"This is his little sister, Bella. That means that she is off limits."

"I never knew that Emmett's little sister was moving here."

"You never know anything."

"That's not true." I decided to walk into the classroom without then. It was a big mistake.
