I DONT OWN TWILIGHT! OK? WE UNDERSTAND? THATS GOOD!
Chapter 2
BPOV
I was shocked, I mean who wouldn't be? But it was sort of coming, I was perfect for the job. I had both a good side (Bella) and a bad side (Tessa), I had inherited wings from mum, but they were black because of Dad. And with all the powers and talents I got for my birthday, it was like I couldn't refuse. So I've been the Grim-Reaper for ten thousand years now, and I haven't regretted a single moment of it.
It was obviously the best birthday of my life, seventeen is a big thing in my family, and I'm so grateful for all of them…maybe even Hercules.
I took a moment to look through the window, it was green. And I mean green. There wasn't a surface in sight that wasn't covered in a green moss or fern. About twenty minutes later we came of the highway and into a little town. It even had a little cheery sign saying:
WELCOME TO
FORKS
I smiled at the sign, then smiled even wider at the little blue house we pulled up at. I was a light blue, two stories high, bordering on the Forrest behind it. I ran inside to have a look, small furnished kitchen, dining room, and lounge room. The stairs lead to two bedrooms, a hallway and cupboards and bathroom. "Dad it's beautiful!" I exclaimed when he came up the stairs.
"I'm glad you think so to Bella." He said warmly, "By the way, you have your pick of the bedrooms, and you even have a gift around the back. You could call it a sorry for having to make you move again present."
"A gift? Awww you didn't have to do that, I'll pick a room then run down."
"Kay, here's your suitcase."
"Thanks Dad, I love here." I said, giving him a hug.
"Me too, but to be honest i'm just glad you like it." he replied.
I ran back and forth the bedrooms, picking and comparing. I eventually choose the white and red room with two windows, a huge oak tree outside one of them and closest to the bathroom. After lugging my suitcase into my new room I ran downstairs and out the back door.
"Oh My God!!" I screamed.
Right there was a bright Red Lotus Elise Convertible, glinting even in the dim sky. I swear it was smiling at me, so I went and kissed it on the hood.
"So…you like it?" I spun around and bear hugged Dad.
"Like it?? I LOVE IT!!" I screamed.
"Okay then, but you need to calm down, we have to unpack and you're starting school tomorrow…and don't just 'forget' and just go to the mall." he said with a threat, but it was ruined by the very large grin that took up his face.
"Fine Dad, I promise…no mall…do they even have a mall here?"
But he just smiled, gave me a pat on the head and walked off. "DAD!!" I yelled after him, but he just waved me off and popped to the underworld.
The rest of the day was spent unpacking and placing things in a good spot for it to live. By the time it was all done, I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.
I woke up to my alarm at eight, I had half an hour to get ready. There was a drizzle outside that looked like it would last the whole day. As I was getting dressed – red singlet top with black skulls, black short shorts, and black four inch knee high boots, black calf length coat and red backpack – I realised I hadn't thought much about the rain, 'I'll ask… Charlie when I get down' I stuttered over his fake name 'Oh well, you better get used to it' I scolded myself.
Before I went out the door, I walked to my cabinet and pulled out a dagger. It was silver with Ruby's studded into the handle, and ancient languages written up the blade. I shoved it into my boots and walked out feeling much more comfortable.
"Hey Charlie, does it always rain here?"
"Just about every day Bella, why?"
"Just wondering." I looked at the clock, jeeze, eight-thirty on the dot. "Sorry, got to go Charlie."
"Bye, don't forget, play nice, share your lunch, ask the kids nicley, don't let your eyes turn red, and don't stab anyone."
"Don't worry Dad, see you later." I gave him a peck on the cheek then ran to my car.
As I slid in I admired the newness, the leather seats and most of all…the smell. "I shall call you Shiney, and you shall be mine" I said thinking of Dory out of 'Finding Nemo.' I found my way to school easily thanks to the big sign saying: FORKS HIGHSCHOOL. I parked near what I thought was the front office and walked in.
"Hello, May I help you?" A plump lady sat before me wearing the ugliest bright Green top and fluro Orange pants… 'EEEEwwww.'
"Um, yes, I'm Isabella Swan, umm well, the new student." I supplied while trying (and failing) to hide my horror at what she was wearing.
"Ahh, yes, I'm sorry I should have realised." she said blushing. Red, Green and Orange, how wonderful. She pulled a few pieces of paper out of a rather large stack and gave them to me, "Here's a map of the school and your time table, can you find your way around?" she asked while smiling, clearly thinking I was an idiot.
"I'm good, thank you." shoving the papers under my coat and retreating to my car. I memorized the schedule and map by the time other students had arrived, so I followed them into another parking lot.
Unfortunately there was only one car as good looking as mine and that was a brand new Silver S60 Volvo. The bell went and I walked to my first class, English, while trying to avoid all the stares in my direction. You would have thought they have never seen another 'human' being before. Tessa snorted at that.
I introduced myself to the teacher, a Mr Mason, and he waved to an empty seat without asking me to introduce myself. I was ver thakful, what a lovely way to start the day that would have been, 'Hi my names Bella, I'm ten thousand years old and I'm the Grim-Reaper' I shuddered.
"Hey there." I looked to see and oily skin, nerd come up to me, 'Damn I hope I won't have as many guys hitting on me compared to Phoenix, that was just awkward. Why can'tany of the boys be NORMAL!?' 'Uh Bella? Your not so noraml yourself.' Tessa sniggered. 'Shut up.' I snapped.
"Uh, Hi." I said smiling, As usual he looked stunned. Whoops. "Yeah, my names Bella by the way." I said… waiting.
"Oh right I'm Yorkie, Eric Yorkie." he managed to choke out.
'Oh God, SORRY GRANDDAD, please not let him think he's James Bond'. I pleaded. Thankfully Mr Mason came around and gave us a reading list, with books I've read at least ten times over. The class came and went quite quickly, and all too soon, Eric made a pass again.
"So, what class next?" he asked me.
"Government, Building six." I recited.
"Wow, you have a good memory, I don't suppose you need any help finding it?" he asked, a little bit to eagerly.
"Uh, no I'm all good, thanks anyway." I said to him before making my escape.
Government was boring, so I dozed through half of it. When you were there as it happened, learning about it in a stuffy room takes a little bit of the thrill out of it. Even so, Trigonometry came all too quickly for my liking. A girl called Jess, babbled on about pointless mind numbing things in between questions, so I was relieved when lunch came.
I grabbed all my things and waited for Jess, who didn't stop talking all the way to the canteen. I considered the choices of 'food' in front of me; I ended up getting a chocolate milk and straw. We sat down on a table in the far corner, Jess still going at it.
It was then that I smelt them. I tensed and turned staring at the five leeches pretending to be human. 'Wait…why isn't anyone dead??' It was then one of them looked over, with Topaz eyes; I turned to Jess in shock.
A girl called Angela was concerned, "Bella, are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, just stunned…by them" I said, nodding in their direction. 'Topaz eyes…They don't kill humans' I was officially shocked, even more shocked when Hades gave me his gift. 'How can they do that, deny the very being they are?'
"I know right?? How can you not be stunned by them? They're so gorgeous..." Jess went into a little daydream after saying that, and I didn't want to know what or who the daydream was about.
"Well, they my dear Bella," Angela paused dramatically "Are the Cullens, utterly gorgeous and unobtainable." She looked pointedly at Jess and continued while I tried not to laugh. "There is, Rosalie the blonde supermodel, Alice the short pixie one, Emmett the huge one, Jasper the silent blonde one and… Edward." Angela sighed at his name and I looked at her in surprise, Angela didn't seem like the type of girl that went 'gaga' over boys.
"He's the Bronze haired one," Jess quickly supplied, glad to be talking again. "But he doesn't date anyone so just admire from a distance" she scowled at this, and I smiled. I wondered if she knew why he wouldn't date her.
"And the others? What's their status?" I asked Jess as I knew she would absolutely love this sort of question.
"Well Rosalie and Emmett are together and Alice and Jasper are together. Rosalie and Jasper are brother and sister, and Alice, Emmett and Edward are also brothers and sister."
They're all adopted by Esme and Carlisle Cullen. But they all look alike; I actually think they are all related, which would be…" Jess went on as I tried to tune her out, and concentrate on the phenomenon going on in the cafeteria.
