Disclaimer- Sadly, i don't own Twilight! I wish i did. I can dream! :)
Sorry if some of this isn't the right "American" words- I am English! I don't know them.

I felt my muscles contract and release, and repeat the motion over and over again. My claws cut into the hard mud, as my feet pounded on the ground. A steady rhythm of beats was created and it let me relax, and forget the gossiping. My eyes caught a flash of movement, and i caught sight of the back end of a rabbit, obviously startled by my sudden appearance. The sight stunned me, and i wondered if i'd ever get used to it. My eye sight was amazing when before, but when i was like this, the entire world seemed to change. The rabbits fur was a mixture of all the browns i could name, and a few more. When the sun hit it, the sight was a marvel to behold. My ears picked up every sound that the forest had to offer, and it was very tranquil. This was my home, this was were i belonged.

Wierd right? But i don't mean like those freaky people that live in rain forests and forget civilization all together. Only, that this is were my heart is, where i feel most comfortable, were i longed to be, where i could be myself. I let a sigh escape my lungs, as my pace slowed to a gentle jog. I padded over to a tree, and sat beneath it. I looked at the sky, and wished to be one of the stars. They saw everything, even when they were invisible.

Great! i came here to avoid going crazy, and i am just depressing myself. I emptied my mind and loved the feeling of nothing. But loving the feeling of nothing was a feeling and as a result was not nothing. I quickly erased the feeling and laid down. I laid there for god knows how long. But was startled into reality, when the five minute warning bell rang at school. I was around thirty miles away, but i still heard it perfectly. I got up up fast but, grudgingly.

I raced back and was just at the edge of the forest when i smelt five scents. I cursed under my breathe and kicked a tree. I had to run the other side to keep it from falling. Making sure it was fixed into place. They must have followed my scent out here. I smirked, as i thought about how confused they must be right now. I guess i was wrong when i thought no-one was paying any attention to me. Stupid vampires, seeing everything. I sighed again angrily, and glanced at my watch. I have exactly 50 seconds to get to art class. When i was presentable (running around the forest takes a toll on your clothes) i ran to my class.

I managed to make it in the door, just before the bell went. People looked at me, and began whispering, not so quietly to me, behind their hands. I chose to ignore the booming voices and gave the teacher my slip. As he signed it, i looked around the art room. it was rather large, and very very untidy. I loved it. Art was supposed to be like this. Students work was stapled to the walls all the way around the room. I must admit, some of it was beautiful. I looked around the room to look for a spare seat, and i found an entire table free.

I took my seat as i put my signed slip into my bag. The teacher told us to draw something that meant something to us and then he just let us do our "thing". He said we could use anythign we wanted, as long as we didn't break it. I noticed everyone getting out their phones and mp3 players, so i got out my i pod ,plugged in my headphones and attempted tuned out the rest of the world.

Pulling the sheet of A2 paper that was laid on my desk, i got to work. I remembered the forest a few minutes ago, and the rabbit. It was the most beautiful thing i ever seen, and it meant something to me. Perfect. I remembered the scene perfectly, the exact distance between the trees, and shade of the bark. Sometimes it's useful to have a good memory. Smiling, i pulled out a pencil and began.

I heard the door open, over the sound of Evanescence's Weight Of World and all the pencils scratching, the other music that blared from phones and earphones, and people talking. I heard a series of footsteps. Definitely more than one person. I didn't look up, i already had a sneaky suspicion about who they would be. I heard the footsteps coming towards the back to of room, towards me. I found that one set was in front, the next was a few feet behind, and is - bouncing??- the footsteps were so light, they were barely touching the floor. Next to that set, was a calm set. Behind them, was a pair, and i could tell that the one on the left was huge. About five inches away was another pair, lighter than big foots. Definitely female.

Unfortunately i knew who each of these belonged to. I was about to get a visit from the Vamps. Oh Yippee!! Throw out the balloons! I heard them pause before my table. I still didn't raise my head, and concentrated on not stabbing my drawing with it. I didn't even look at what i was drawing, i was too busy trying to contain my anger, frustration and fear. They sat after a seconds hesitation, sitting as far away from me as they could. I was torn of four things to do, all were overwhelming. First, to burst out crying and curl up in a ball. Second, to scream and shout at them and hit them as hard as i could (which was strange since i wasn't a usually violent person). Third, was to run as far and as fast as i could, i didn't care if i revealed myself, i just wanted to get out of here. And finally, i could do nothing. I could sit here and ignore them, no matter how much they try. I knew that some of them had abilities, but i didn't know, or what they were.

As they sat down, their scents made their way to me. I smirked, they smelt of the forest. They had been out there looking for me, i nearly laughed. They had been late because they were looking for me, when i was on time. I hid my laugh behind a cough, and tries to keep my lips from tugging up. I ended up biting it to keep it in place, which probably made me look like a loony. I felt Their gazes on my bowed head, but i didn't look up. My music was turned up full volume, but i still heard their conversation. Normal humans wouldn't have been able to hear it, but i heard it perfectly.

"Are you sure she can hear us?" said Blondie. She sounded a little apprehensive and scared.
"I'm not sure, i still can't read her mind, it's like shes not there" said Bronzie. He sounded very frustrated, and it made me even More amused. Wow, he can read minds, that explains how they can live with humans and not be detected. If anyone got suspicious, he could be able to tell. I was happy to find someone who could do what i do, it was too bad that it was a vamp. I was glad he couldn't read my mind, it meant that i was safe from other people as well.

"I dunno, when Edward said that"- arg, so his name is Edward. I prefer Bronzie"- She got all smug, then happy, then dread" Said curls. I'm guessing he can feel peoples emotions, that would explain it. Wow, that was a cool talent. Maybe i can adapt to it. Secretly i adapted to his talent, i waied to see if they noticed anything. Wait, he just realised that i can hear them. Stupid emotions! ruining my act!
"Now she's feeling stupid and annoyance" He said, and i could tell he was smiling.

I clenched my jaw, and breathed out angrily. My hand never stopped moving as i looked up to the faces of my enemies. Why were they doing this? If they wanted to kill me, why were they being to nice, and joking about it? I knew they were following me, why else would they have been in the forest?
Their golden eyes burned with curiousity, awe, wonder and - fear?-. I understand the last one. vampires were under the impression that they were the "almighty race". They were the strongest, fastest, smartest things out there. god! They were so wrong. But i don't really know if one person could be classed as a race.

No-one spoke, and we continued to stare at each other. Neither side blinked, but my hand kept on drawing the forest in my memories. It was Muscles who spoke first.
"Okay, enough of the staring." I moved my stare onto him directly, and he filched. Wow, i made a vampire flinch! I did a mental high five. I smirked, and after hesitating at my expression -which i believe looked evil- he carried on.
"We want answers" He said plainly. I smirked.
"And what gives you the impression that i will tell you anything, if there was anything to tell in the first place. You would have no right to know" I said quietly and sweetly. I quickly pulled out my earphones. It would look weird to have a conversation with them in.
My remark left them gobsmacked. "What? You think that you'd just waltz up and I'd tell you these "answers" you want?" I laughed. Did they really think i was that stupid. I knew what they were doing. Trying to get me to admit who i was, by intimidating me with their "vampirism".
"We do have a right to know!" said pixie fiercly, but still quietly.
"Oh, and whats that?" I said, wondering what excuse they'll think of.
"You aren't the only supernatural thing here you know. With you here, you are threatening to expose us" said Blondie just as fiercely as pixie.
"Supernatural? What? little old me? But do enlighten me. what do you think i am?" i said trying to hide my seriousness at the end.
"We don't know, that's why we asked. It's obvious that you're not human" said curls
"you know that i could take that as offensive. I mean, do i look like a goblin, or warlock dude?"

Silence

That really cheesed me off. I know i didn't look like a goblin or warlock, but their lack of response had me worried. I saw Curls look at me seriously, and i struggles to make my mind blank, and my emotions numb. His eyes widened as my lack of emotions hit him. I saw Edwards eyes do the same, since he can read minds I'm guessing he is feeling what curls is feeling form me- nothing. I hid my smile.

"How?" Whispered curls, and i looked squarely into his eyes, looking innocent.
"What?" i said tilting my head to the side a little.
"How can you fee-" He stopped himself, and that annoyed me.
They wanted me to reveal my secret, when they wouldn't even tell me theirs. Well, i know already, but that's not the point. I finally looked away form them, and at my watch. We had ten minutes left of the lesson. I looked at my picture, i had nearly finished even though i hadn't been looking at it. It's like a sixth sense, i can see what I'm doing without looking or doing anything consciously. The picture was done, it just lacked colour. That was the best part, the part that made it mean something to me.
I peered at it, wondering what to use. Anything i used would never make it look as beautiful as it was in real life. It would make it ugly, an insult to it. I decided to leave it as it was , just to shade it. I knew they were still looking at me, so i sighed quietly and looked up.
"Are you going to do anywork?" I said out of the blue. I could tell their confused. One minute we were talking about the supernatural, and next, i was asking about work. I sighed again at their dumb face. I motioned to the blank pieces of paper that they had been given to them.
No reply.
I left them to their staring and got back to my picture. I filtered the conversation through my matter, to make sure i had made no mistakes, and revealed anything, or hinted to my abnormality. I was pleased to find that i hadn't made any comment that had hinted the slightest be of what i was.

As the bell went, i got up, sweeping my i pod and phone i had gotten out into my bag. They didn't move as i got up. I glanced at them.
"Well?" i said slowly.
"What?" Said muscles dumbly
"Well, the bell went, and you lot havn't moved" i said pointing out the obvious.
They all just shrugged and kept on staring at me. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Grabbing my bag and picture, i went to the front and put my picture on the pile at the front of the class for the teacher to mark. They still hadn't moved as i made my way out of the class and down the coridoor. I heard their conversation though.
"well that didn't go as planned did it" said muscles
"well, she had a point. how could we expect her to just tell us, she doesn't even know us" said the pixies high pitched voice.
"She didn't even say that she wasn't human" said blondie
"that doesn't mean anything though. She can hide her emotions, make herself totally numb. I'm sure she could lie easily." said curls

Damn. They still suspect something. I might have to do something "human" to throw them off. I don't know. I waited for Edwards remark. Everyone else had commented, but he stayed silent. Infact, Edward never spoke to me. I didn't remember looking at him. Strange.

My next lesson was history which, thankfuly, was vamp free. After a few minutes of thought, it hit me. Why would a vamp need to do history, they have lived it, depending on how old they are. I really didn't know what to make of them. They didn't seem dangerous, but they were usually the most dangerous. They seemed friendly, but standoff-ish towards the humans, which is understandable. but why? They killed people, it was who they are. Part of me pitied them. They didn't choose this life, they were forced into it. I sighed, letting the subject out of my mind. There was no need to dwell on things that coudln't be solved. I looked at my truck (like i said, i have a sort of sixth sense. I can see places that i aren't seeing) and saw that no-one was around or looking, so i transported it home. I needed to run again to clear my mind.

What if they followed again? Well, they wouldn't find me. I wanted to see their faces when they realised. I coudln't wait for the end of lesson.
I managed to wait until the end of History, but as soon as the bell i raced to the car park.

I tried to be inconspicuous, but of course the whole family had their eyes on me. They all stood at their car, leaning on it, watching me. I must admit, it was a little creepy. I looked at them and waved. I rolled my eyes at their expression, it was quite amusing. Despite my racing the car park was nearly empty. I just stepped of the pavement, and into the middle of the road when i heard the sound of screeching breaks. I knew there was a van, a boy named Tyler was driving it. I also knew that if i stayed here any longer i would be hit. That was a bad idea. how would i explain how the van was mangled and i was fine? but, it would be the perfect "human" act, to make them believe i wasn't anything supernatural. After a moments reflexion, i decided it wasn't worth it. The risk of exposure was too great. I sighed and stepped back onto the pavemant as Tyler can crashing through the car park and managed to slow down enouhg to not run into the main building. I could here his heart beating quite fast, faster than it should be.

I ran to his van to make sure he was alright. I knew he was, but if he didn't calm down he would have a seizure or heart attack or whatever, i knew it wouldn't be good. I made it to his window, which was rolled down, and looked in. Tyler looked like he had merged with the seat. He was pushed as far back as he could be into his seat, his hands shaking on the steering wheel, his eyes wide and staring at nothing. I kncked lightly on the window, and he jumped.
"Hey, Tyler it's just Bella. Are you alright" I truly was concerned now. He didn't look so good.
"er.....but......yeah, i mean......how............you..............i could have killed you" he said finally. he looked horrified at himself. In his mind, he was picturing what would have happened if i had stepped onto the road. I winced as the truck hit me. If only he knew what would really happen. I heard one of the vamps growl behind me, but i chose to ignore it.
"I'm fine Tyler. I heard you coming and got out of the way. What about you? Are you Okay?" I tried to calm him.
"I'm fine, i think. I lost control of it going too fast. I forgot something at school, and i was going too fast" he said looking ashamed
"I'm sure that, whatever it was, isn't worth your life" i said wisely.
he nodded and took a deep breathe, but his heartbeat didn't calm. I decided to use my new adapted ability. I concentrated on claming and soothing him, and was pleased when his heart rate returned to normal. He still looked shaken, but better.
"Thanks Bella. I think i'm okay now." he said smiling at me.
"Drive safe next time yeah?" i said
He nodded as he turned the ven around and drove away. i watched him go until he was out of sight. I sighed and turned towards the forest. I didn't realise they were still there, until one of them grabbed my arm.

I turned around to see Edward. It was the first time i'd actually looked at him. My heart and stomach made strange motions, and i felt strange. His eyes were liquid silver as they bore into mine. What was going on? This coudln't happen. Where he was touchig my arm was tingling, and i wasnted to feel his arms around me. This couldn't be happening.

I have a crush on Edward? A vampire?
