Chapter 3

Alice, Edward and Bella arrived at a large school.

Someone was waiting for them by the front gate.

"Headmaster Cullen this is Bella Swan."

The Headmaster turned and smiled kindly at Bella. "It's nice to finally meet you Bella. I'm sorry about your parents."

"Thank you." Bella replied.

"You're welcome to stay at my school." He said. "We can protect you from Demetri here. Will you stay?"

Bella nodded.

"Can she stay in our room?" Alice asked. "We've got an extra bed for her."

Headmaster Cullen nodded. "Yes I think that would be best for now."

Bella followed Edward and Alice into their room.

"Thank you for taking me here." Bella said.

Alice sighed. "It's alright Bella. I'm sure that you want to cry after all that's happened."

Bella looked at Alice for a second then burst out crying.

Alice hugged Bella tightly and she continued to cry on Alice's shoulder.

"I promise you Bella that we'll try and protect you no matter what." Edward said. "Alice and I won't let Demetri get his hands on you."

"Th….thank you." Bella replied.

"You should get some sleep." Alice said. "You must be tired after what happened today."

Bella nodded as she crawled into the spare bed and went to sleep right away.

"Are you going to be alright with this?" Edward asked. "After all she is related to him."

Alice sighed. "I don't know Edward. It's been a long time since Demetri and I have seen each other. It's a little unnerving."

"He won't get into the school. I promise you that he won't hurt you or Bella. We are assigned to protect Bella and that's what we are going to do. That's what her parents wanted us to do."

Alice sighed in relief and hugged her brother. "Thankyou Edward."
