Chapter 1

The Call

"Bella, are you coming?" Edward's voice called from outside my bedroom door. He was getting impatient.

"Yes, Edward," I sighed, "I'll be out in just a few minutes." 'Bella' I despised that human name. Not very creative if you asked me, but for some reason, in this era, it was a popular name.

"Ok, I'll be waiting for you out in the car." He said, and I heard his footsteps leave the door.

I let out a relieved sigh, and slightly smiled to myself. I was falling in love with him. Even though we had been together for over a year now, after he left me for 6 months and then came back, we continued our lives as if he never left.

Though I was afraid of falling in love with him, afraid that if I did, I would lose my desire to become a powerful demon, and take over my kingdom of the Northern Lands.

But, gathering my things, I tied my brown hair into a low ponytail, ran out of my room, bolted down the stairs, until I got outside, where I swung myself into the passenger's seat of Edward's Volvo.

"You ready?" he asked, holding my eyes for a second.

"Yes." I spit out, taking my eyes off his, and buckling in my seatbelt.

He started the engine and pulled out onto the road.

Yeah, off to something much worse than demons. High school.

Morning classes, such as Honors Algebra, Language Arts, and Art 1 went buy quickly, and finally, lunch came.

The one time that I would get to see Edward, before classes would have to start again.

Edward and I sat at a table alone, until we were joined by his family, unexpectedly.

"Hey lil bro," Emmett said, sitting in between Edward and I, and he ignored my surprised "Hey!" as he sat down.

"Stayin' outa trouble?" Jasper asked, sitting on the other side of Edward.

"Alright boys, enough. Stop torturing the mind reader and his human girlfriend." Alice said, sitting next to me.

"Oh please Alice," Rosalie sneered, sitting next to Emmett, "Don't pity him, or Bella for that matter."

My nose scrunched up in a snarl. Oh God! I wish that I had my demon claws right now! I'd wipe that little sneer off her pretty little snot-nosed face!

"So Bella," Alice's voice interrupted my day dream of murdering Rosalie, "I was wondering…do you maybe wanna go shopping this Saturday? I KNOW it'll be awesome!" Her little dark eyes were sparkling with enthusiasm.

"Um….Sure, why not." I said, smiling a little, not really paying any attention.

"Yay!" she said excitedly, and began talking with Rosalie.

Everyone was carrying out conversations, but my mind was elsewhere.

Just then, I got a huge pulse wave that went through my body, and outwards. My eyes widened, and a wave of shock hit me. This, was a distress call, from someone in my bloodline.

"Bella? BELLA?" someone was shaking me. I came back to the present, and my eyes shifted to the voice, as I responded with a "What?"

"Are you ok?" Alice asked me, arching an eyebrow, and looking at me with anxious eyes.

"Yeah-Fine." I spit out, a little uneasily.

They all started talking again, and I took my hair out of my ponytail, smoothing my fingers through it, as I tried to calm my shaking body, and my racing heart.

But, when I looked at my hair again, my eyes nearly bulged out of my head.

The ends of my hair-were turning white?

The human spell was wearing off, and I was becoming a demon again!

Quickly, as fast as my human legs could, I jumped up from the lunch table, and I raced to the girl's bathroom, hearing a lot of "Bella?" and "Bella, what's wrong?"

Ignoring their sudden outbursts, I ran into the bathroom, and looked into the mirror.

My hair was turning even faster, and within a few seconds, it was completely white.

My eyes went from a warm chocolate brown, to a deadly and demonic gold, and the blue crescent moon was appearing on my forehead, along with the single pink stripe, that was beneath each eye.

My ears grew longer, and more pointed, and became more sensitive, along with my eye sight.

I opened my mouth, and saw that my canine teeth had enlonged, becoming fangs.

My stomach growled, and I knew that I was hungry for human flesh, and when I lifted up my hand, I saw the same pink strip that was on my cheeks, appear on each back of my hand. And right before my eyes, my fingers grew longer, along with my nails. My hands were now claws.

"Bella?" I heard Rosalie's voice outside the door, and it began to open.

"Don't come in Rose!" I yelled quickly, and the bathroom door stopped from opening.

"Why not?" she sneered, and the door opened more.

Quickly, I raced to the door, faster than any human, and I shut the door with amazing force.

"Bella! What the hell?" Rosalie's voice was shocked, and a bit whiney.

"I said don't come in." I said in a low voice, and I couldn't hold back the growl that escaped through my teeth.

"Are you-growling at me?" she asked from the other side of the door.

"I'm sorry for doing this Rosalie, but you know too much already." I quickly opened the door just enough, and I pulled her inside, ignoring her gasp of surprise.

"W-What the hell are you?" she asked me, as I held her in the air, by her shirt.

"Rosalie, I will let you go, but only if you PROMISE not to tell anyone." I said, ignoring her question.

"How can you ask me that?" she asked shocked, and my nervous eyes searched around the room, looking for some way to escape.

My eyes locked on the emergency exit at the other end of the room.

"I'm sorry for this Rose!" I said, before I began dragging her behind me, as I ran as fast as I could, out the emergency exit, and into the nearby woods, heading straight for my house.
