The Reaping.

Chapter 2- Reaper.

"What's a reaper?" I asked tense with fear.

"They're like the 'people' that work for the grim reaper, I guess. I really don't know. I've only heard of them from Carlisle. He'll tell us later." replied Edward still frozen with the same expression.

"Do you want to put your stuff in your room first?" asked Alice after the girl took a few steps.

The girl turned to her and nodded. Alice lead her upstairs and into the empty room next to Edwards. And in less then 2 seconds, Alice came out and silently shut then door behind her.

"She wanted to change her cloths." whispered Edward. I cuddled closer to him.

"Alice, what's going on?" I said as Alice sat next to me

"Like I said, she's going to be a new member of our family. You'll have to ask her questions for her to talk. I can see, we'll get along together very well." answered Alice gleefully.

'creek' went the stairs as the girl came down. She now wore a short black tank top which reviled her belly-button. She also had a velvet black choker, a black belt , a black skirt, black fish-net stalking and combat-boots. It seems like everything she wore was black.

She glided at human pace and sat on the stool in front of everyone.

"So, what's your name? How old are u? What are you? Why are u here? Well of course I already know, but you have to tell the rest of them. Okay, I'll stop now for u to talk." babbled eagerly Alice.

"My name is Ava, I'm 14 in human years. I'm a reaper. I'm here because the Death Council had a meeting referring to miss. Isabella Swan's death." answered the melodious voice.

"You see, not only does miss. Swan protect her mind, she has locked up her soul, therefore the council cannot calculate when miss. Swan will die. They sent me here so I would be ready to take miss. Swan's soul when she dies, or at the end of her existence. And besides that I'm suppose to watch over her and to keep her "alive" for as long as possible."

"Yay! Now everyone understands!" exclaimed Alice "So don't worry Bella, she is not here to hurt you"

"Cool. So what kinds of powers do reaper have?" I asked curiously.

"You must be miss. Swan."

"Call me Bella, no need to be so formal."

"Yes well, I have the same powers as vampires, except I don't drink blood. I live off of water only, but I can eat whatever I want anyways. My special ability to teleport and telepathy, but only when the thought is directed to me." she replied

thoughtfully

'that's pretty cool!' I thought to her, trying out her talent.

'thank you' I heard her voice in my head. She was smiling at me and nodded.

'Its nice that Edward can't hear our conversations when we talk like this' I heard her pleasing voice in my head again. I laughed.

"See. I knew they would get along" Alice said to her family.

or will they?? hehehehehe...
