Chapter 3- Second Sight
A/N- Thanks so muchto my wonderful reviewers! Special thanks to Bellator for her excellent writing advice, I'll try! Here's chapter 3 Second Sight! There might be some similar material from chapter 1 of Twilight, First Sight but I'm not quite sure, I'm just going see how it goes. Oh and this really is a filler chapter, because much more stuff happens in the next one.
Disclaimer- Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer, not me.

"Hmmph! That girl was staring at your as-"
"Does it really matter, seeing as that's the closest she'll get to it?" I teased her. School was always hard for us because of the certain attention we attracted from the opposite sex. It was especially hard trying to restrain from ripping out the throats of the disgusting jerks who's eyes never left my wife.
She remained silent, her face as hard as stone. I took her hand in mine and brought it to my lips. She looked up at me and smiled.
"The principal will see you all now" the secretary told us brusquely, casting a glare at Alice and I before pointing a stiff finger at the sign above her desk which read PDA on school grounds is not permitted.
I sighed and dropped Alice's hand and followed the rest of my family inside the small office.

"How could you get us lost on a campus this small?" I shrieked at Andrew gesturing to the miniscule school and adjoining grounds.
"We're not lost, I'm just not quite sure where the main office is," he told me defiantly.
"Andrew why can't we just ask someone where it is?" Virginia whined tugging on his arm.
"We are not asking for directions and that's final," Caleb cut in, crossing his arms.
"Yeah," Ben agreed.
"You three are just so frustrating!" Virginia half yelled throwing her hands up in the air. We were standing in the middle of the campus between building three and building four like pathetic losers because the boys were too macho to ask for directions. Classes had already started so the grounds were deserted.
"Come on Gin, let's go find it ourselves. They can stand here all day if they want, but I for one, don't want too" I declared in an agitated tone.
"Yeah okay," she agreed and began to trudge away. I followed her, but not before shooting each of my incompetent brothers a chilling glare.

"Ed, can I see your schedule?" I asked hopefully. Maybe we'd have the same!
He handed me the sheet of paper wordlessly not even meeting my gaze. I scanned the sheet quickly. Damn! We only had one class together; Biology straight after lunch. I handed it back to him sadly.
"Who has Gym first?" Alice asked us all.
Jasper, Rosalie and Edward all nodded. They quickly said goodbye to Emmett and I and left to find the gym.
"Physics?" Emmett asked me.
"Nope, French" I sighed. I was stuck going to my first class by myself.
He gave me a sympathetic look before leaving to go to his class. I headed off in the opposite direction towards building two.
I found my classroom quickly and slid into one of the seats in the back. The teacher gave me a small nod of acknowledgement but thankfully didn't make a scene.
She began to talk about the basics of a language I was already fluent in. All I could do was sit and watch the clock tick.
I began to think of how the Cullen's had stumbled across me 10 years ago. I had been a vampire for 69 years then, I'd been living with a cruel coven who's leader was unbelievably a doctor like Carlisle. But that's as far as their similarities went, instead of actually treating his patients he would steal them. That was how I dealt with my hunger then. But when I had found the Cullen's or they found me, they helped me change. Although every pathetic human in this small cube sized room would always remain a temptation.

"This is pointless Bells, let's just go back to the guys and sit in the car till lunch, then we can find the principal," Virginia wheedled at me. We'd been walking around building 1 aimlessly for an hour. We didn't want to explore the whole campus, because it might look odd if someone were to look out a window and see us desperately searching for the main office like losers.
"Yeah ok" I said in resignation, I just knew the guys were going to throw all my words and hard looks right back at me just to be annoying.
We walked back to where the guys were, slowly, taking our time.
When we came in sight of the parking lot, we saw all 3 of them sitting in my Audi listening to music. We made are way to them and got in the car.
"So, did you find the office?" Ben asked with mock curiosity. Neither Virginia or I deigned to answer. I kept my head down and fumbled with the zipper of my coat. I was beginning to wish I hadn't come. This whole place just reminded me of my past home. I could actually feel the dull ache begin to thump in my chest. Penetrating my barrier of cool numbness. I quickly pushed those agonizing thoughts out of my head, this was not the place to have a break down.
"How soon till lunch?" Caleb whined like a small bratty child.
"About an 2 hours give or take" Andrew informed him, throwing an arm over Virginia.
"Who wants to play I-Spy?" Ben asked excitedly.
We all groaned at Ben's not so tempting offer.
"Aww, come on guys, It'll be fun. It's not like we have anything else to do for the next couple of hours" he pleaded.
"Fine whatever" we all grumbled.
"Great I'll go first! I spy with my little eye something green," his voice held deep humour.
"EVERYTHING IS GREEN, IDIOT!" Virginia shouted. She could never really control her temper. But she did have a point.
"Well then start guessing," he told her grinning like a fool.
"That tree over there" Caleb guessed pointing to a tall oak on the east side of the campus.
"Nope" Ben answered smugly.
"That bush right there?" Andrew ventured.
"No."
"How about that green Echo?" Virginia questioned pointing to the small car on the other side of the parking lot.
"Sorry, but no."
This was how we spent the two and a half hours waiting for lunch.
Finally students began to emerge from different buildings. We followed them all the way across campus and into a large flat rectangular building that I assumed was the cafeteria. We entered behind a large group of rowdy kids, trying not to draw too much unwanted attention. Caleb, Ben, and Andrew went to get our 'food' while Virginia and I found an empty table.
It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make small talk with my sister, that I saw my never quite forgotten family and the love of my life, who I'd almost gave up all hope on. I felt my breath catch and my eyes widen in disbelief. Surely, my eyes were playing tricks on me. This picture in front of me was too perfect to be true. All of my instincts were shouting for me to jump up and hurl myself across the room and into his unexpecting, but surely comforting cool arms. But all I could do was sit and gape, all my surroundings slipped away. The only thing that I saw clearly was him. This just had to be a very good daydream, no way was this really happening.
His tousled bronze hair shone brilliantly in the harsh lighting. His head was pointed down at his tray, as was all his siblings. I prayed for him to look up, just so I could see his flawless face once more before I regained full consciousness.
Almost as if he could hear my thoughts his head rose and his warm topaz orbs found my own instantly. My whole body shuddered, it felt as though an electric current had been hooked up between our bodies. He was staring at me with such intensity that I was almost sure he could see inside my mind and soul. I was paralyzed in awe and sheer bliss, I was afraid if I moved an inch this beautiful feeling would leave me forever.
Obviously Edward wasn't though, he rose hesitantly as if he wasn't quite sure what he was seeing and began to walk towards my table slowly. By this time the rest of his family had looked up and were staring at me in shock, holding their breath.
I still couldn't move from my seat, all I was capable of was watching him get closer. Every step he took, I blinked just to make sure that it was all really happening. When he finally reached me, I finally stopped breathing all together. He stood there only for one short powerful moment before bending down and scooping me up from my seat by my waist, and hugging me tightly to his body.
I went completely limp in his arms. I threw my arms around his neck and allowed myself to be swept away in a passionate kiss. Edward was here holding me close. This was the one place on earth where nothing could ever hurt me. I had finally found the only eternity that I wanted.
