I finally pulled myself together and got out of the snow. There was no time to act so childish. Colby was searching for me and I needed a place to hide and fast. I jogged in vampire speed a few miles into the first town I came to.
'Welcome to Fork's, Washington. Population:3,0121' The sign read near the highway. I came to a complete human walk as I walked along traffic, trying to blend in. It was when people started giving me funny looks I remembered what I was wearing. I was only wearing my snow white dress that dipped low in the front, showing only a little cleave ledge. The dress ended in layers just above my knee and I was wearing a pair of white, six inch heels. I definitly stood out.
I wrapped my arms around myself and forced my body to shake, acting like I was cold. Maybe that'll fool these humans. As I walked through town, I saw a clothing store and decided to go on in. I always carried my money with me and I did need some new clothes.
"Hello!" A voice called from behind the counter as the bell rang as I opened the door. I smiled over at her and was thankful that I hunted yesterday. At least I wasn't thirsty enough to kill her. I'd hate to have to rip her pretty little head off her shoulders. I needed to hunt though and soon. By evening tonight I'd be starved.
I walked over to the sale racks and looked through the outfits. I wasn't sure how I felt about long sleeves and jeans. I had never worn either of the two before in all my years of existance and didn't know if I would feel comfortable in them. Just then a scent filled the air. Vampires. I froze, scared stiff. Was it Colby? I sniffed again. No, I didn't recognize these scents. There were three of them, all girls.
Laughter filled the room as they walked on in before stopping dead in their tracks as they glanced at me. The one in the middle was pixie small and had short, black hair with a smile on her face as she saw me. The one on her right was just drop dead gorgeous. She had her blond hair tied up in a pony tail in curly ringlets and was glaring at me. The brunet on the left just looked at me questioning. All three of them were so beautiful. I felt my self esteem going down.
"Hi!" The one in the middle walked on up to me. "Are you new around here?"
"You could say that." I smiled at her. She had to be the friendliest vampire I had ever met.
"Or are you just visiting?" The pretty blond asked rudely as she walked on over, followed by the brunet.
"I'm just passing through." This territory must be already marked. No way am I going to be able to hunt here. "I won't be causing you all any problems."
"Texas?" The pixie girl asked me curiously?
"Excuse me?" I asked her curiously. What's that suppose to mean?
"Are you from Texas?" She asked with a grin. "My husband is from Texas and he has a similar accent."
Oh. "Um, yes actually." I smiled at her.
"You should come over and meet our family," The brunet said with a smile. "They'd be thrilled to meet someone new."
"That's a great idea Bella!" The pixie girl all but screams. "Besides, I can tell you must not have traveled up here before because of your outfit. We can show you around if you're staying a few days."
I bit my lip, a nervous habit I've had since I was human. "I don't know."
"Think about it." The pixie said while the blond glared at her.
"Okay." I said softly. "I'll see."
"Great!" She squealed. "I'm Alice by the way! That's Bella and Rosalie."
I smiled at them all, even though my smile wasn't returned by Rosalie. "It's nice to meet y'all. I'm Amelia."
"Well we must be on our way but follow our scent if you want to take me up on that offer. We live just outside of this town." Alice whispered really low so the sales lady couldn't hear her.
I just nodded as I watched them go.
I didn't think I would take them up on their offer though. That Rosalie girl looked like she was ready to rip my limbs apart and throw me in a fire.
EDWARD'S POV
Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, and I were playing the PS3 when the girls came in. Rosalie looked ticked off and both Bella and Alice looked amused.
I put down my controller and grabbed Bella, kissing her deeply. Man I missed her the five hours she was gone.
She giggled and kissed me back before pulling away. "Where's Renesemee?"
"Charlie and Sue came by to get her. Something about never seeing their grandchild." I chuckled as I thought about how they ran into the house only moments ago, demanding to see our daughter.
Bella laughed. "My goodness."
"There's a new vampire in town!" Alice shouted excitedly. "She's really pretty too."
"Yeah." Rose rolled her eyes.
"Someone sounds jealous." I snickered but shut up once I saw the glare she was throwing at me.
"She's the girl." Alice said to me and I knew right away she was talking about the vision she had yesterday. I wasn't sure of what to make of the vision but I don't think it's a warning sign of danger or something. Somehow, the girl knew Jasper but Jasper never mentioned a girl remotely similar to this one.
'Her name's Amelia. I told her if she wanted me to show her around or anything at all, to follow our scents and that she was welcome to our home.' Alice's mind said.
'What is going on?" Rose and Emmett screamed in their minds.
'How come Alice won't tell me about her vision. I know it must not be too important or else she would let everyone know but she usually shares the small visions she has with me. Why won't she tell me?' Jasper's mind thougth.
"Good idea Alice." I nodded to my left where Jasper was. She instantly picked up on what I was saying and nodded.
'Something's telling me not to tell him. I don't know why though.' Alice answered.
Just then, Alice had a vision.
Charlie driving to our home with Sue and Nessie. All of a sudden, Charlie is snatched from the car and that girl, Amelia, bites his neck.
Both Alice and myself paled.
"How long?" I asked Alice as my grip on Bella tightened.
"Five minutes." She answered.
"What?" Bella asked worriedly.
"That vampire is going to kill Charlie on his way here." That was all it took for all of us to be outside and heading towards the area Alice's vision showed the attack taking place.
"I told you not to act friendly towards that wretch!" Rose yelled as we ran.
"Shut it!" I yelled at her. This was the last thing Bella need right now. If vampires could cry, Bella would have been sobbing. Her eyes held water in them and shoulders shook as we finally reached the area where the attack would take place in less than three minutes.
I pulled her to my chest. "We won't let her hurt him, Bella. Shh it's all alright."
"My visions arn't set and stone Bella, you know that. Charlie will be alright." Alice told her as she wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"I know." Her voice sounded so sad I wanted to kill.
I continued rubbing circles in her back as the girl from Alice's vision arrived. The blond haired girl stepped out of the woods in a white dress that made her look like she belonged in the south. Her hair was to her waist in curly waves and her eyes were a dark golden color. She couldn't have been older than sixteen.
Once she saw us, she looked taken back. "Hello."
"Hi, I'm Carlisle and this is my family. These are our hunting grounds and we would appreciate it if you didn't hunt on our land." Carlisle said calmly to the girl.
She gasped and nodded her head. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking."
That's when she saw Jasper.
Her eyes widened, just like they did in the vision. She stopped breathing as she looked Jasper up and down.
"J-Jasper?" She asked as water filled her eyes and she bit hard on her bottom lip.
Jasper stared at her confused. "Do I know you?"
I zoomed in on her mind then. I had to know what she was thinking.
'Oh my gosh! What the crap? No way is he really here! No way! Wait...he doesn't know who I am. Should I tell him? What, what if he doesn't accept me as I am? I am not the girl he left behind all those years ago. What, what if he hates me? What if that's the reason he left? Oh goodness, what do I do?' The girl was an emotional mess and Jasper must have felt it because he started sending her calm waves.
"How do you know my name?" Jasper asked her as her mind stopped rambling what if's.
She just stared at him, unable to tear her eyes away. "I-
