Vampires don't eat chocolate:

A/N: Brie talks a lot. I hadn't quite noticed before. Brie, Kira, Odette, Mark, and Arawn are mine. Everything else belongs to Stephanie Meyer. Oh, and when I say sprite, I'm referring the magical creature, not the soda.

Alice walked in horror over to her Calculus class. She probably could have skipped the rest of the day, but in the confusion, she hadn't thought about it. What was this girl, this witch, doing? Alice hadn't seen anything very far in advance, as if Brie made many impulse decisions. Edward couldn't read her mind without pain and a translator on hand, so he couldn't tell them what Brie was doing at all. And, worst of all, she had threatened Jasper when he had tried to send her away. Alice hadn't really understood their exchange, but it sounded like Brie had a gift incredibly similar to Jasper's, except that she was still human. What would it be like if Brie were a vampire?

Alice almost jumped when Brie sat next to her. "That's not possible, I'll explain later." Brie whispered. Alice couldn't focus at all during class. She was ready to run out that door and all the way home. It was a good thing she'd already done the homework problems for the whole year . . .

Next to Alice, Brie slumped over the desk. She. Hated. Math. She'd endured high school once already. Why again? She decided to make Mark do her homework for her. He had enough practice with it. Brie hated Biology too. At least in Chemistry, she could use her magic to mess up or perfect the reactions. That was fun. Math just bogged you down with numbers. When Brie realized that the teacher had asked her a question, she was even gladder that Kira had taught her how to listen to other people's thoughts. The answer was prominent in the teacher's mind. "Five"

Brie got out of her last class, PE, smiling triumphantly. She had been the last one standing in dodge ball, even defeating Jasper. He hadn't been able to run around like a normal vampire though. But, then again, Brie hadn't been allowed to use her magic on him. She sighed, seeing the Cullens cluster together. She'd have to go talk to Dr. Cullen. She had to figure out a few more things before she set them right. That meant talking to the Cullens. And the werewolves. This would be fun. Deciding that she needed to see Bella's home and what was going on there, Brie invited herself into the truck that was screaming "I'm Bella's!" at her. Okay, it wasn't saying anything, Brie admitted to herself. Bella had just left her psychic fingerprints all over it. She didn't need to make herself sound any crazier than she already was.

Bella kissed Edward goodbye, wondering why he was smiling so impishly. A look of realization dawned on her face when she found the blonde girl in her truck. "What are you doing in my car?"

Brie sighed. They weren't going to cooperate well, were they? "I just need to get an idea of what's going on so I can fix it." Bella was surprised at how somber Brie seemed to a moment there. But then there was a scream of delight as Brie pulled out a CD case. Bella just shook her head. This was one strange girl.

Charlie frowned when he saw Bella had another person in her truck. He still hadn't gotten over the whole Italy thing. Brie smiled and jumped out of the truck the moment it came to a stop. Bella slowly climbed out and Brie followed her into the house, dancing to the music in her head. She smiled as a curtain was hurriedly closed. Someone wasn't happy that his daughter wasn't alone. Bella unlocked the door, and was met by a livid Charlie, whose face softened when he realized that Bella's companion was female. "Hey, Bells, who's your friend?" Brie managed, with difficulty, to let Bella introduce her.

"Dad, this is Brie. She's new here."

"Hi!" Brie squealed. Understanding his strange look, she sighed. "I'm way older than I look. And I can prove it." Bella and Charlie watched in amazement as Brie pulled out her driver's license, her passport, still full, and her birth certificate. "See, I'm eighteen."

"Why do you keep your birth certificate in your backpack?" Bella asked incredulously.

"Why not? So, Bella's dad, I saw you peeking through the blinds. Do you disapprove of Edward?" Without waiting for an answer, Brie continued. "I remember when my dad would let the twins meet Sadie's boyfriends at the door with baseball bats. I'm so glad I never had to deal with that."

Bella looked horrified, "Why didn't they do the same for your boyfriends?"

"Umm," Brie was obviously searching for an answer, "Well, I was always the baby."

"Bad bluff, what really happened?"

"Well, they weren't really there by the time I started being interested in boys." Brie whispered. Sighing, she decided to explain fully. They wouldn't let up till she did. "Most of my family died in an explosion. I was shuttled to my brother's house, and as soon as my sister Sadie turned 18, he kicked us out. She kicked me out when her boyfriend proposed to her. So now I live with Kira and Odette, and they don't care who I date, as long as no one gets hurt."

"Who are Kira and Odette?" Charlie asked.

" My best friends, guardians, roommates. They teach me a lot."

"What's a lot?"

"Chief Swan, they're not doing anything against the law. We support the laws of this country, and obey them." Except when it comes to killing demons . . . "We harm none." She got a good look at his soul. Charlie was worried for Bella, and now for Brie. "We're really fine." She smiled, and felt Edward arrive in the driveway. "Anyway, we're going to the Cullen's for the evening. See ya, Chief Swan."

Edward drove too fast. Bella didn't like it, but Brie crowed in exultation. She loved the speed. She loved the fresh air and she loved . . . oh. They were there already. Disappointed, Brie climbed out of the Volvo and looked up at the huge, white house. "It's big." She whispered. They walked past another couple of vampires that Brie hadn't met. They were both blonde and the man was a huge bear of a guy. They were working on a car. Emmett looked up and smiled. "Wow, Edward's a pimp." Rosalie kicked him. "Who's the girl, Ed?"

Edward was scowling. Brie found it quite amusing. "Ask her," he grunted, pulling Bella up the steps into the house.

Brie smiled and said, "Imawitch!" and skipped after them. The first thing she did was run into kitchen, yelling over her shoulder, "I assume that, since you have Bella over so much, you have human food around here." She opened the fridge. Just milk. She went tearing through the cabinets. All she found was a seven-year-old container of Nutella. She whipped out a cell phone. Esme, who had been sitting at the kitchen counter the whole time in shock, gaped as Brie pressed three buttons and held the phone to her ear. "Odette? Ya, we have a three twenty-nine. What do you mean you don't know what that is? Look, just send a gnome over with food. And include a bucket of double fudge frosting."

Alice squealed as she ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. "I'm going to the Thrift mart. Be right back."

A blue wall appeared in front of the door. "You know I need to talk to ya'll first." Brie yelled. "And don't even try to go out a window!" She opened the glass door in the kitchen for the food-laden gnome. "Elefri." Brie told it, smiling. It bowed to her and left as quickly as it could. Alice threw herself against the front door.

"I wanna go shopping!" She sobbed.

"As soon as I'm done. I need to find out exactly what you've messed up in this town."

Upstairs, Bella and Edward watched Emmett and Jasper shake hands and smirk.

Esme whispered to Brie, "What do you mean, we've messed up?"

Brie sat down across from Esme with the bucket of icing in one arm, and a spoon in her other hand. "Well, there's the werewolves for one. And those poor high school kids are all weird in the head. Or maybe that's just the lack of sun. Anyway, there is some major juju wrong in this town, and some of the PTBs are waking."

"PTBs?"

"Powers that be."

Emmett attempted to sneak up behind Brie. He was about to grab her shoulders when she dropped the food, grabbed the cast iron skillet from her backpack, and whacked him soundly in the side of the head. Emmett reeled back, surprised by the violent reaction. Brie stared mournfully at her skillet. "YOU BENT IT!" She screamed at him. Emmett had confronted irritable grizzlies before. He'd confronted Edward before. Nothing compared to the wrath of this little blonde girl. He ran for his life. Jasper laughed, before going and dragging Alice away from the door. "Arawn!" Brie yelled. An elf appeared outside the kitchen's glass door. "Please fix it." Brie asked, hugging him. The metal reformed itself, and Brie planted a delighted kiss on Arawn's mouth. Just as they were parting, Carlisle came through the enchantment on the front door. Now it was time for a family meeting.
