Chapter 2
I was driving for a while before I came across the Welcome to Forks sign. I turned to the GPS that I found in the front and switched it on and typed in the name HOME. I was driving for another 15 minutes before I came to a house near the middle of the forest. It was still in Forks but there were minimal houses around. The house was a beautiful double story with a huge door covered in vines made out of metal to decorate it. I pulled the car in to drive way and climbed out of the car. I walked quickly to the door so that I don't slip and found the key under the eave just where Jason said they would be.
I pushed hard on the heavy looking door and stepped onto the dark varnished wood. The hallway was long and at the end it met with a staircase. I walked down the passage and looked through the arches which was on either side, one lead to a fully furnished vintage style living room and the other to the kitchen.
I decided to get my luggage while the rain let up. I went up to one of the bedroom that was nearest the bathroom. It must have been Jason's because it was decorated just as his room back at the other house. I walked over to the closet and found it was already full with all his clothes. I'm going to have to ask them which room I can stay in…
I will leave my bags packed for the time being and when I'm assigned my room I'll unpack. I flopped down onto the bed and just stared at the ceiling…
…15 minutes later…
"Aahh!" I shrieked. 15 minutes I've been staring at the ceiling! When are they going to call? I miss them so much. Don't they miss me?
My eyes started prickling at that thought. No, they do miss me. It must not be safe enough to call. I hope they are alright.
Just then I heard a soft growl. I shot up straight and looked around. They couldn't have found me so soon. My room was still empty except for me. I felt a dull cramp in my stomach then and soon after the growl came again. I blushed scarlet when I connected the two. I'm hungry. I laughed at my stupidity.
I hoped out of the bed and made my way to the kitchen and flicked on the light. I walked over to the fridge and looked inside only to find it completely empty. I hit me head on the door of the fridge. Dur, vampires don't need to eat, why would they have food hear. Not to mention they have not been here for a few years.
"Why would they even have a kitchen in the first place?" I said out loud to myself.
I glanced at my watch. It read 6:45 pm. I taped my finger on my lips thinking. If I go now, I can get to the shops before they close for the night. But if I do that, it means that I'm still going to have to cook the food…I frowned at that idea. I was not in the mood for cooking a meal at the moment. I walked over to my bag in the foyer and fished out my purse. I should have enough money to order takeouts. Tomorrow I will shop for food.
Half an hour later I was sitting at the dinning table with a hot, steamy cheese pizza, and let me tell you, it hit the spot. I was stuffed.
I was on my way back to the bedroom when me phone started vibrating in back pocket.
"Hello?" I said without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello dear sister of mine" said the voice.
"JASON!" I shouted into the phone.
"Ouch, jeez Bella, not so loud! Sensitive hearing remember?" Jason said.
"Sorry!" I squeaked, "I'm just so glad you called. I was dying of boredom-I miss you guys so much. Is everything alright?"
"Yes everything is just fine. They haven't arrived yet, which is good because we are still trying to get your sent out of you bedroom. You know, you should really get out more." He said with a laugh.
"Har har, you have jokes now? But have you no news?"
"Not yet. Oh, wait, mum just reminded me to tell you that I arranged for you to start your junior year at Forks High next week Monday-" I let out a groan and he chuckled. "You didn't think that you were going to stay at home for the time you are there did you?"
"No, I guess not but I hoped." I said.
"Bells, Forks High is not as bad as the other schools. I went there a few years ago." I raised an eyebrow at that. "Ok, maybe not a few. More like 50 years ago, but that's beside the point, it is a really small school. You won't have a problem finding your way around… Even with your lack of direction." He said, whispering the last part, which made me think that I wasn't supposed to hear it.
"Fine." I grumbled. I wasn't looking forward to Monday now. I hated being the new person. People always stare at you and that's when I'm at my clumsiest. Another thing that tends to happen is that they start whispering about you when they think you are not looking. And this year it might be even worse because I don't Jason with me, my harbor. Not to mention all the rumors that will start about why I'm on my own.
"YO, Bells? Are you still there?" Jason's voice called to me. I shook me head, waking up from the daydream.
"Yeah, I am still hear." I said.
"Good to know. Thought I lost you there for a moment. Anyway I have to go now, I'm sure the Voltaire is getting close."
"Okay then. Any other rules before you go?"
"Uhm… Go to school, make friends, no partying at the house-we haven't really lived there for too long, we don't want it trashed," I rolled my eyes, as if I would ever THINK about having a party. "and last but not least… don't forget to eat." Wow what an anti-climax.
"Sure, sure. And speaking of food, you forgot to tell me that I had to go grocery shopping." I scolded.
"Oops, sorry. I knew there was something I forget. O well you are just going to have to starve for tonight." He joked.
"You want your best sister in the whole wide world to starve?" I said in a sad voice and sniffed to add effect.
"Ah, Belly Baby, you know that's not true. You are my only sister and you know I don't want you to starve."
"Haha. Its ok I already got something to eat…from the forest…" I thought I will tease him some more.
"You went hunting? Wait, what? You went into the forest? There is another rule: DON"T GO INTO THE FOREST!"
"Jeez Jay, I was only joking! Tell 'mum' and dad I say hello please?"
"They heared, they say hello too and we will see you soon. Love you B."
I smiled into the phone, that was one of my prefered nicknames, and it suited me perfectly, plain and simple B. "I love you too Jay." and I put down the phone.
The house felt even more empty than before. I took one final look around the room and walked back up the stairs and when to bed.
