Summary:

When Bella moves to Forks she's not human, but she's not a vampire either. Why is she in hiding? What is she hiding from? Only Bella know and she's not willing to tell anyone.

Previously:

I bit my lip to keep my groan in my throat. I need to hunt! I haven't in a while, but I couldn't help but smiling at the thought she thought that the house was safe when there was a hungry jaguar in it. I slowly walked up the stairs to mine and Lauren's room. I found her in there sitting on her bed reading a magazine. I knew she was waiting for me so I closed the door loudly. She looked up to me, slightly startled, but she smirked.

Great, what now? I thought to myself.

"Well, well, well, look at what the cat dragged in." I chuckled at her comment. "There are some rules, if you want to stay in here. Just because we are "roommates" doesn't mean that we're friends. You keep to yourself, stay out of my stuff and don't talk to me unless it's important. Got it?"

"Yup." I popped the p. She smirked at me again and I knew she was going to try to make my life hell.

Good luck. I said too myself.

*the next morning*

"You know you're not getting a ride with me." Lauren sneered as we walked out to the garage. She wanted me to walk to school.

"Yes I know; I'm driving." I replied without looking at her.

"Not my car!" She screeched.

"I know; I'm driving my car." I unlocked the driver's side of my car with my clicker. She gapped at me as I got in and pulled swiftly out of the driveway.

I pulled up to the school and found a parking spot. My Infinity was definitely the nicest car there, except for a Volvo a few spaces away. I walked into the building marked 'Office' and went over to the red haired receptionist.

"Hello, my name is Bella Swan. I'm here for my schedule."

"Of course," She smiled "Here you go, here's a map of the school and you need to have your teachers to sign this-" she handed me another paper "-and bring it back after school."

I nodded and started to say thank you, but a sweet scent hit me from behind. There was only one thing it could be; vampire. Most vampires were hostile; I instinctively tensed as I turned to face it.

"Hello Alice," the secretary said sweetly "what can I do for you?"

"Hi Mrs. Cope. I heard that you were looking for someone to show the new girl around today." She replied with a quick smile at me.

"Yes I was, are you volunteering?" she had a hint of skepticism in her voice. Alice nodded, looking at me again.

"Hi, I'm Alice, Alice Cullen" She said sticking her hand out for me to shake, but I ignored it and started for the door.

"Bella." I said, glancing at her out of the corner of my eye.

"O…kay what's your first class?"

"Um English with Mason." I had to check my schedule.

"Ooohhh, I'm in that class too. You can sit with me, if you want to that is." She looked upset that I might not like her. I wasn't paying attention. Cullen. She's a Cullen. I moved to a small town and stumble up to a "vegetarian" vampire coven. What are the odds of that? In all my 400 years, I've never met a coven like them.

"Hello? Bella are you okay?" She stopped walking and shook my shoulder lightly. I was going to answer but four more vampires walked around the corner and I froze.

"Hey guys!" Alice didn't seem to notice my reaction "This is Bella, she's new here." She looked at me again "Bella, Bella?!" I could tell she was surprised by my behavior. I was as well, for a completely different reason though, usually when I saw vamps, I shifted to protect myself, but there was something about their yellow eyes that seemed calming and they were different, they are the Cullens; but I still felt the need to protect myself, weird.

"How do you do it?" It popped out before I could stop it; I quickly covered my mouth with my hand.

"Do what? What are you talking about?" Alice was worried now.

"Figh-" I stopped before I could give myself away. "Never mind."

"Anyway, this is-" Alice started.

"I'm Emmett." The big one put his hand out for me to shake, but I didn't shake it, again. I was afraid how I would react if I touched one of them.

"Rosalie, Rose for short." The blond girl spoke up but didn't make a move to shake my hand.

"Jasper." The blond boy said simply before wrapping his arm around Alice.

"I'm Edward." The bronze haired boy looked at me curiously; it bugged me so I looked at his thoughts.

I can't hear her, that's weird. Maybe I should bring it up with Carlisle because she doesn't smell…normal maybe- no she looks human. I couldn't help but chuckle at him, I knew him, Edward Cullen, he was one of the Cullens who had a gift, he could read minds.

"Come on Bella, class is going to start soon." Alice pulled me away from her siblings with a quick wave.

The morning went by quickly, I had first and third hour with Alice, but after each class she would be there to walk with me to my next class. We chatted about everything and I knew we were going to be great friends even if she is a vampire.

"You should sit with us at lunch, if you want to that is." Giving me a choice, she didn't want me to be uncomfortable; humans tend to shy away from vampires.

"Sure, Alice I would love to." I smiled at her. She didn't even act like a vampire. Occasionally her eyes would glaze over and she would stop talking, but I didn't bother her about it; I knew she could see the future.

When we walked into the cafeteria, all eyes were on us. I felt uncomfortable under their gazes; I'm not used to getting a lot of attention. We were in line and Alice got a tray of food. I looked from her to the food with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" She stopped walking.

"Nothing." I looked away from her so she wouldn't see the confusion in my eyes. I thought vampires didn't eat human food.

"Aren't you going to get anything?" Now her eyebrows were raised.

"No, I'm not hungry." I laughed at the thought of me eating human food.

"Tsk, tsk, Bella you should eat something, it's not healthy to skip meals." My eyes roamed the cafeteria and I found a pair of topaz eyes looking right at me.

"Alice, I'm not hungry," I said, not looking away, "not in that sense anyway." Crap I said too much.

"'Not in that sense'?" She looked…shocked? She got annoyed when I didn't answer. "Bella, answer the question."

I know that you all are excited for me to post this story and so am I. I already have all of it written, I'm just trying to post pieces of it at a time instead of all at once.

I'll try to update on Friday after school.
