Hey everyone I'm really sorry for the late update, my laptop broke and I had to type this up on my friend's computer. I made it reasonable long to make up for it so please enjoy. Also I would like to clear up, Yes Stephan and Jasmine are together, but Bella and Damian are not. They are very close best friends. So anyways I'll stop babbling now, please enjoy.

We had been in our new house for a week now and all of us were adapting well to the new scenery. The country side in England was quite lovely and where we lived; there wasn't a single human house for miles away, which suited us all well. I sighed as I placed down the book I was reading, Wuthering Heights. I had read this book 56 times and still I enjoyed it immensely. Being a vampire can always get boring after a while, when I was human I could sleep for 9 hours of the day, but now being unable to do that, I just sit around day dreaming. In contrast though, I loved the speed, the strength and the heightened senses that come with it. My thoughts were interrupted as I heard a soft knock from my door.

"Damian" I sighed "Come in"

"Are you ready Bella? We're leaving soon" He asked in a soft voice, while slightly tilting his head to the side.

"Yea" I gave a small smile back "Coming" I whispered while rising off my bed at human speed,

Today we were leaving for a 2 week long hunting trip. About 89 miles north to another large forest, which apparently had a bear problem. We decided we might as well enjoy this opportunity since in 3 weeks we were starting school….again. As I was slowly making my way to the door, with my back pack slung over my shoulder, I didn't even realize Damian was still standing in my door way with a worried expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" He asked, trust Damian to get straight to the point, he knows me to well to do the trivial thing of asking if I was ok.

"Nothing" I lied. He took a small step forward blocking my way out of the door before he spoke again.

"Bella" he whispered "What is the matter?" This time it was more of a demand for me to tell him.

I sighed; he was just going to get it out of me any way. "Don't worry Damian" I gave him a small smile, "Really I'm fine, I've just been thinking"

"About what?"

I stared at the ground as I continued, "You know the meaning of life, what I am, who I am, my human life and how I wish I could forget. How it pains me to remember hurtful events or things I don't want to remember and then the memories I want to keep, such as my parents, the first time I rode a bike, my first ice cream cone, are easily forgotten."

I looked back up to meet his calculating gaze "You know just stuff, I'm fine Damian, really I am"

I stared into his eyes as I tried to express my feelings through my eyes. He just gazed straight back, before his sigh interrupted the silence. "Ok" he whispered while stepping forward and taking my hand in his, "We beta get going the others are down stairs waiting"

I rolled my eyes at him as he took my back pack as we ran down the stairs. As we reached the front door Stephan was sitting in an arm chair with Jasmine seated in his lap. "FINALLY!!' she squealed as she jumped forward and landing directly in front of us. "Let's go!! I'm hungry" She giggled at her wording as she spun around and grabbed Stephan's hand as she skipped out the door.

Early on in the week we had gone into town and all got a car each. Stephan had gotten a silver Mazda6 MPS, it was a sleek fast car with tinted windows, it looked flashy and expensive but looked like a lot of fun, and it reminded me of his personality. Jasmine had gotten a canary yellow Coupe 911 turbo, it was definitely a girl's car and like her had a lot of energy. Damian had gotten a dark bluey gray Aston Martin DBS. It had tinted windows and was a very fast car. Lastly I had gotten a blood red Ferrari 599 GTB; it was sleek, strong and VERY fast.

After a lot of debate we had finally agreed on taking Stephan's car as we didn't want to take all of them. We packed our few bags into the car before I slid into the back seat with Damian next to me, while Stephan got in the drivers seat and Jasmine got in the front passenger seat. Strait away Jasmine started to fiddle with the radio as Stephan pulled out of the garage and zoomed down our drive way.

"Lets listen to some tunes" she giggled as she switched on some unknown country music. The sound of banjo's and ukuleles filled the car as well as Jasmine's high pitched laughter. I glanced next to me and nearly burst out laughing at the expression on Damian's face, he looked overly annoyed and was very frustrated already, even though we had only been in the car for just over 5minutes.

"Jasmine" I started while taking a deep breathe, "turn this crap off before I break your husbands car" I growled the last part as Jasmine turned the music right up sending it blasting into our sensitive ears, while all the time she carried on to laugh like a maniac.

"STEPHANO" Damian yelled "Control your wife before I help Bella vandalize your car" Stephan snapped around in his seat to glare at Damian with a worried expression, probably because Damian and myself were close to tearing out his sound system.

"You wouldn't" He growled, I don't know why it is but vampires love their cars, I guess it's because their the closest thing we can have to children.

"Oh we WILL" I raised my voice as Jasmine's crazy laugher increased.

Stephan whipped around to stare at his radio then turned back to glare at us. Then his eyes softened as he switched his gaze to his laughing wife.

"Honey" he all most pleaded "Can you turn your music down a little bit?"

Jasmine's laughing free exterior quickly melted away into her infamous puppy dog face. "Why? Don't you like my choices?" she said in a heart braking tone. I sighed this was how she always got me to go shopping with her or how she would make me be her doll, those dam puppy dog eyes, you would have to be pretty cold hearted to say no to them.

Stephan's expression was suddenly panicked as he nearly melted while looking at his wife. "No, no Jas, the others don't like it, I always like your choices" he said while gently stroking her cheek.

"YEA! You better, remember my decisions are always right!" She squealed while pumping her left fist into the air, her mood entirely changing once again.

"99.9" Damian grumbled, which caused Jasmine to whip around and glare at him. "You can't just let it go, can you Damian? You always have to bring up the point one percent DON'T YA?"

I sighed this is what always happens if we travel together in small areas with a radio. Jasmine would play annoying music, Damian and I would get angry, Stephan would be split trying to keep his wife happy, THEN Damian always had to bring up Jasmine's weak spot, the point one percent of her plans not being a success. Then this would lead to hours of arguing and then more annoying music to get back at us.

I took a deep breathe as I slowly blocked them out and stared out the windows. The trees whizzing past us in blurs of green and brown, the different scents we came across as we drove on, the country side was so peaceful with the varies trees and bright flowers, it always made me happy. As I closed my eyes I was pulled back to one of my cherished by heart braking memories.

Flash Back

But then, after another hundred yards, I could definitely see a lightening in the trees ahead, a glow that was yellow instead of green. I picked up the pace, my eagerness growing with every step. He let me lead now, following noiselessly. I reached the edge of the pool of light and stepped through the last fringe of ferns into the loveliest place I had ever seen. The meadow was small, perfectly round, and filled with wild flowers- violet, yellow, and soft white. Somewhere nearby, I could hear the bubbling of a stream. The sun was directly overhead, filling the circle with a haze of buttery sunshine. I walked slowly, awestruck, through the soft grass, swaying flowers, and warm, gilded air. I halfway turned, wanting to share this with him. (Twilight, pages 226-227)

End Flash Back

That was one of my most cherished happy memories, but thinking about it always tore a rip in my heart. That was the day we confessed our love for each other, or so I thought, and it was the day of our first kiss. But no matter how much this memory hurt me I held onto it. I would never let it go, as it was a time, so many years ago, when I was happy, truly happy. Suddenly I was snapped out of my day dreaming by someone gently shaking my shoulder.

I opened my eyes to be staring into Damian's warm golden eyes. He smiled at my confused expression, "We're there" He said. 'WHAT?' I thought to myself, 'how could we be there it takes at least a day to get there and we had only been in the car for…for?'' I quickly snuck a look at the clock on the dash board, 2.30pm it read. 'So that would mean we had been in the car for 5 and a half hours, I hadn't been out of it that long, had I?'

Damian's smile grew more pronounced at my confused expression. "But how?" I asked out loud this time, "doesn't it take a day to get there?" Damian's care free laugh filled the air "Nope, Bella don't forget to calculate in that we were driving three times the speed limit and with Stephan wanting to get us out of his car and away from the radio, he pushed it."

"Where are Stephan and Jas?" I looked around to see them no where in sight.

This caused Damian to laugh even more, "Oh you know their somewhere around here catching up with each other"

I laughed "OK that's enough I don't really want to know" Damian grabbed our back packs as I climbed out of the car, while giving my legs a good stretch. "So where are these over populated bears?" I asked, I could feel my thirst slowly eating away at me, none of us had feed for 3 weeks and our eyes were all darker then usual.

"Further in the forest, about a 6 mile run" 'he replied while shrugging his bag onto his back and then holding mine out to me.

"Stephano and Jasmine Casava get you arses over here so we can go" I yelled while sliding my arms through the loops of my bag.

I could hear Jasmine's bell like laugh coming from the forest as her and Stephan came whizzing through to stop a few feet in front of us. "HIYA!" she squealed "let's go" And then she and Stephan were off heading back into the forest a different way to where they had come out.

Damian and I were close behind running side by side as we tailed behind them. Stephan had obviously memorized the map of the area and Jasmine had devised the quickest route to get where we wanted to go, always the perfect team, two halves of a whole, Jasmine and Stephan complemented each other with their powers they were obviously the perfect couple.

After running for another 5 minutes the scent of grizzly bears hit me. I looked over and the others had obviously smelt them as well.

"We're here" Jasmine declared as she and Stephan slowly took off in another direction "Call when you're done" she yelled back before they were gone.

Damian and I were the perfect hunting pair. I could always interrupt the animal's movements while Damian could hide my scent as I swooped in for the kill. After a couple of hours we had killed 4 grizzlies, 4 dear and 2 moose. I smiled to myself as we cleaned ourselves a bit at a nearby river. But suddenly I stopped as I inhaled the scent of unknown vampires. I quickly turned to Damian to see him stiff; he had obviously smelt them as well.

"How far?" I whispered to him, he was always good with scents, since after all it was a part of his power.

"Less than a mile, their heading this way" he murmured back into my ear.

I stood up and pushed my sleeves up on my arms and quickly pulled my phone out. The ringing lasted once before Jasmine answered.

"You smelt them to" it wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"Yea, there heading our way, get your arses over here" I quickly whispered back into the phone.

"How many?" She asked. I quickly turned back to Damian waiting for an answer "three" he stated. Turning my attention back to the phone "you catch that?" I asked. "Yea we're coming, be there in a few" Then she hung up.

I looked back at Damian "Maybe their just curious?, we are new to this area" I said while staring out into the forest. "May be" he whispered while taking a step closer to me. I looked back up at him and watched as he noticeably stiffened even more. I followed his gaze out into the forest, and to my extreme horror there were 3 male vampires standing there, all staring at us with piercing red eyes.

Well what do you think? I know I said the Cullen's were coming up soon but I decided to do this first. They do show up soon in about 2 chapters away. Anyways please review and I'll update as soon as I can, hopefully I can get my mum to go get my laptop fixed its rather depressing.
