Chapter 2 – Checkin In

DISCLAIMER!! I do not own twilight or any of its characters, only my ideas =]

Recap:

"Shit, there are other's here aren't there?" Charlie only cursed when things were serious.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I turned to look at my father's now scrunched up face.

"Don't worry dad, they aren't here at the moment, I can't smell then." Oh did I forget to mention that I had developed a power during my changing? Well my power in my opinion isn't something powerful like control over people, the elements, their emotions or mind reading, instead I am telekinetic and I can occasionally tell what people are thinking by looking at their facial expressions. Although I'm telekinetic my powers are still new to me so at the moment the only things I can do is move small objects with my mind and fly for a short period of time. The downside to using my powers is that if I use too much energy I will lose consciousness for about an hour.

Charlie's face turned to relief and he sighed. "This won't be good, from the smell there are 7 of them. It may look to them like we are here for their territory or it may not." Turning towards me, Charlie's face became serious, "Isabella. If any of them approach you don't let them get to close and if things turn bad run back home ok?" Charlie only used my full name when things were serious so I nodded, not wanting to disagree. After all I knew how to protect myself considering my powers and everything. The only thing I was afraid of was meeting HIM but there was no way he would be here.

Turning in the opposite direction of the scent of the unknown vampires, Charlie and I set off to finish our hunting, worry taking over both our minds.

When we returned from our long hunt my stomach was gushing with blood because of what I was going to have to endure the next day. Since vampires couldn't sleep I decided to pack my shoulder-bag because, in the morning I was starting at Forks High School.

Since I was 'turned' at 16 I never got to finish high school. Unfortunately I have to start in grade 11 because the younger we pretend to be the long we can stay in Forks. The only reason I'm in a younger grade is that there is no way I could pull off being in grade 10.

Since I had finished packing my bag half an hour ago, I lay on my bed and listened to soft music on my iPod.

The sun starts rising so I decided it's time to get up and dress. Since its winter in Forks, I have to dress according to the weather not the temperature I feel. Vampires are eternally frozen so we don't feel cold, everything feels warmer than ourselves. Opening my cupboard I pull out a black singlet, blue and brown sweater, dark denim skinny jeans, a brown scarf, a white beanie and gloves and my favourite black pair of ankle cut off converse. Picking up all my clothing, I step into the bathroom to shower. Finishing in the shower I dress myself and brush my hair but leave it down.

For fun and something different, I slide down the banister and jump into the kitchen. Charlie looks up from his newspaper in amusement and smiles at me, "Geez Bells, A bit full of energy are we?"

Shrugging I take in my father's appearance. He's wearing a blue shirt, black pants, a tie and a silver badge with the words 'Forks police department' on it. "So you're going to be a police officer here? That's a change" With a smile I remember Charlie's previous jobs as an Iditarod doctor, a pilot and a chef.

Copying my earlier movement, Charlie shrugs, "I want to help people and my vampire abilities are just the thing to help me achieve that." That's Charlie for you, never thinking about the past always looking towards the future.

"Well good-luck! I have to go to school now so try not to bite anyone on your first day" I pushed my way out of the front door and started my 10 minute walk to school, but not before I heard Charlie mumble, just loud enough for me to hear, 'Funny, I should say the same to you'.

When I arrived at Forks High School I tried not to draw attention to myself, so I slipped into the reception building. The lady at the front desk was in her late 40's and wore a massive amount of make up to try to look younger.

As I made my way towards the desk the lady looked up at me and down again, then after a second her head shot back up and she stared. Oh I wish she wouldn't stare at me like that I mean I know that everything about the way our kind appear is meant to attract our 'prey' but seriously , I could have sworn that my beanie covered most of my face! Just then I realised that I hadn't put my beanie on yet. I mentally smacked myself and chose to deal with my schedule first and my beanie after.

I coughed to get the ladies attention; she seemed to snap out of her starting long enough to ask, "Name?"

"Isabella Swan" According to her name tag this lady was Mrs Patrice. She started shuffling through some papers on her desk, probably looking for my schedule.

Handing me a piece of A5 paper the lady smiled, making her winkles show. "Here you go. I don't mean to embarrass you, but you 're utterly gorgeous".

If a vampire could blush I would be a tomato right about now. I had never been good at receiving compliments so I just nodded a thankyou and goodbye before slipping out of the reception building. As soon as I was outside, I shoved on my beanie and adjusted it so that it sat covering as much of my face as possible but also so that I could still see. Tightening and re-adjusting my scarf so that it covered the lower half of my face, I lowering my head and walked towards my first class, English.
