Hey guys! Wassup? Thanks for all the reviews and alerts. Your suggestions really helped a lot. Keep em' coming.

So this is basically the start of the story. The previous chapters were introductions and prefaces. I borrowed a lot from 'Midnight Sun' because it is in Edward point of view. So this is Chapter 1 of Angel. Enjoy.

Disclaimer:I DO NOT own Twilight or Midnight Sun. I just own an unimaginable amount of LOVE for Edward ;P.

Chapter 1:

Edward POV:

It was just like any other day at Forks High. We were all siting at our usual table except Angel. Like always she was late. I stared at the cracks
running through the plaster in the far corner of the cafeteria, imagining patterns into them that were not there. It was one way to tune out the voices that babbled like the gush of a river inside my head. I was waiting for my safe mind house of Angel.

Human mind was so predictable and needed so little to be excited. It took so little to work them up. Today all thoughts were consumed with the trivial drama of the new addition to the small student body here. The excitement over her arrival was tiresomely predictable. I didn't understand what was so special in her. She looked like just an ordinary human girl. I tried harder to tune them out.

"Hey freakoes!!! What up???" Angel almost slammed her tray on the table and ran her hand through Jasper's hair. He hated that and that's why she used to do that. At last my safe house had arrived. She always addressed us like that. We didn't mind because we knew she didn't mean it. I looked at her and immediately took my place in her mind hoping to hear a new song. But to my surprise she was thinking of the new girl!!!

"Not you too!!" I exclaimed to her.

"What?" she said while chewing her pizza.

"You are thinking of the new girl."

"Yeah. So?" she shrugged her shoulder.

"Angel chew with your mouth closed." Rosalie always tried to teach her manners but never succeeded.

"yeah yeah yeah!" Angel shrugged again. Then she turned to face me.

"Why are you thinking of that girl?" I asked her.

"First of all her name is Isabella Swan. But she prefers Bella. second she is a really nice girl. and third is there a new law that I can't think of her?" she gulped her food in.

"Angel." Rosalie scolded her again.

"Okay okay." she put her two hands up."So?" she asked me.

"No there is no law against your thoughts of the gil...Bella." she gave me a dark glare, "But of all people I didn't expect you to think of only her like everyone else in this room."

"I was just thinking how different she is from everyone else in this town except for you guys."

"How do you know she is different?" I asked irritated cause she blocked me out of her thoughts. She was getting better at that.

"Cause I can see the future and read peoples minds ha ha...." she started her usual joking and kidding,

"Come on. Be serious." Jasper told her. She rolled her eyes. Jasper was a little curious too.

"Okay fine."She rolled her eyes,"Last night when I took dinner to Charlie I met her. She already cooked dinner cause you know...I was late. Like that's a surprise." her mom makes her deliver dinner to the bachelor police chief Charlie Swan. And no matter how many times she said she hated that we all knew she loved this part of her job. Chief Swan sees her like his own daughter and she respects him very much.

"Edward Cullen"

Reflex reaction. I turned to the sound of my name being called, though it wasn't being called, just thought.

My eyes looked for a small portion of a second with a pair of wide, chocolate brown human eyes set in a pale heart shaped face (Enters Bella). It was the new student, Bella.

I looked away,bored. Angel noticed this little change of expression in me. "what's wrong?" she thought.

I tilted my head a bit in a negative way. It didn't look she bought it.

"Jessica Stanly is giving the new girl all the dirty laundry on the Cullen clan." I murmured to Emmett as a distraction.

Everyone chuckled under their breath, even Angel. "Two years with the Cullen's really makes your hearing strong." she thought.

"I hope she's making it good." Emmett murmured.

"Rather unimaginative,actually. Just the barest hint of scandal. Not an ounce of horror. I'm a little disappointed." I murmured back.

"And the new girl? Is she disappointed as well?" Angel asked.

I listened to hear what the new girl,Bella, thought of Jessica's story. It was sort of my responsibility to know her reaction. I acted as a lookout,for lack of better word,for my family.

I heard nothing, though I listened close beside where Jessica's frivolous internal monologue continue to gush. It was as if there was no one sitting beside her. How peculiar! Had the girl moved. I looked up to check,feeling off-balance. Checking on what my extra 'hearing' could tell me-it wasn't something I ever had to do.

Again my eyes locked on those same wide brown eyes. she was sitting exactly where she should be. Thinking about us,too,would be natural.

But I couldn't hear a whisper. Her thoughts were so clear on her face. But I couldn't hear anything from the place she was sitting. Nothing at all.

I felt a moment of unease.

"Edward what's wrong?" I could hear Angel's mental voice. But not the girl's. Was there something wrong with me? I felt exactly the same as I always did. Worried, I listened harder.

"So is the new one afraid of us yet?" Emmett asked.

I shrugged. I got up from the table and walked out of the cafeteria leaving everyone surprised. Angel got up and followed me. She caught me and looked me straight in the eyes but didn't say anything. I knew what she wanted to know.

"Why can't you read her mind?" she asked me after I explained the situation to her. "Maybe there is something different about her." she didn't wait for my answer.

Before we could come up with an explanation the bell rang and we had to go to class. I had biology and Angel had math with Alice. With a sigh I headed of to my junior level biology.

In the classroom, I settled into my chair. I was the only student who had a table to himself. The room slowly filled as the students trickled in from lunch.

I heard everyone getting excited when the new girl came in the room. Still, from the place where she stood,nothing. The empty space where her thoughts should be irritated and unnerved me.

Bella Swan walked into the flow of the heated air that blew toward me from the vent.

Her scent hit me like a wrecking ball,like a battering ram. There was no image violent enough to encapsulate the force of what happened to me that moment.

In that instant I was a predator. She was my prey. There was nothing in the whole world but that truth.

I was a vampire,and she had the sweetest blood I'd smelled in eighty years.

She came and sat beside me. Her scent swirled around me. My hands griped the edge of the table as I tried to hold myself in my chair.

The whole hour was my own personal hell. No, it was worse. The whole hour I tried to control myself by thinking of ways to lour her away from crowed so there is no witnesses. I was the most difficult hour of my long life.

But the hell had to end sometime. The bell rang. I couldn't walk as slowly as I should as I darted from the room.

I hid in Angel's car.

I didn't like to think of myself having to hide. How cowardly that sounded. The reason I hid in her car in her scent. It helped me calm myself down. I glanced at the school building. Someone was coming towards me. NO NO, please no. I put up the car windows. I closed my eyes and blocked out everything. I was surprised when I heard a knock on the door.

It was Angel!

My Angel stood there getting wet. she motioned me to pen the door.

I opened the passenger door and she climbed inside. I inhaled deeply. It was such a relief.

"Hey dude!!"she greeted me as usual.

"Hi!! What are you doing here?" I said without looking at her. I knew if I looked at her she would notice something was wrong.

"I'm just bunking P.E." she said while putting the heater on."What are you doing here???" she said with a suspicious tone.

"Nothing. I'm just bunking too." I said,still breathing deeply letting her scent fill me.

"There is something. You are hiding something from me Edward. What is it?"

I knew I couldn't fool her. She knew me too damn well.

"Well........." I told her everything,from the girl's scent to my feeling and thoughts. She shuddered just hearing of them.

"Wow! You had quite an hour." she turned on her humor.

"It's not funny Angel." I frowned at her.

"You might not see this now but it is."she started laughing.

The person who said laughing is contagious was absolutely right because I started laughing with her for no reason. It was a total laugh fest.

"So what are you going to do?" she asked after the laughter mellowed down.

"I don't know Angie. I mean I can't go in there. It's too dangerous." I said with a panicked tone.

"If only there was a way you could avoid her."she wondered.

"That's it. I just have to avoid her." if I could avoid Bella Swan,if I could manage not to kill her. If I could keep away from her scent......

"But can I do it?" There was clear doubt in my voice.

"There is no reason why you shouldn't try,at least. Make a good choice For the others sake."she always knew what to say.

"Yes. There is no reason why I shouldn't try."I wondered to myself.

"You can do it Eddie. I know you can."she chuckled under her breath.

"Yes I can."I murmured "and how many times I told you not to call me Eddie?"

"Well lets see. Including this time.....hm...two hundred and fifty two thousand times. But it never gets old." her smile widened.

The last hour of school was almost over. I decided to put the new plan in action.

"Stay here."I told Angel and got out. The office was empty except for the secretary,the one I wanted to see.

"Mrs Cope?" for the next fifteen minutes I argued with this lady to change my 6th period biology. But like every other thing that happened today this went horribly wrong too.

The door opened behind me. A second was all it took to change the atmosphere in the room,a second was all it took for someone to open the door and let a gust of wind inside and hit me again.

I turned,though I did not need to make sure. I turned slowly,fighting to control the muscles that rebelled against me.

Bella Swan stood there. The smell of her blood saturated every particle of air in the tiny,hot room. My throat burst into flames.

I spun and launched myself from the room,trying not to feel the warm-blooded heat of the girl's body as I passed within inches of it.

I didn't stop until I was in the parking lot. I looked around for Angel. But her car wasn't there. I climbed into my Volvo. The others were already there. They started to ask questions in their head and out loud. Instead of answering,I threw the car into reverse.

"You're leaving?" Alice whispered.

The others stared at me now.

"Am I?" I hissed through my teeth. Then I saw it in her head. I was in Chief Swan's house, approaching towards Bella,letting her scent guide me.

"Stop it."I groaned,not able to bare anymore.

"Sorry."She whispered.

I knew I had too leave,to keep my family safe,to keep Bella Swan alive.

"I'll miss you."Alice said "Don't worry I'll break it to Angel."

I dropped them to the turn off onto the long drive that led to our home.

I accelerated back towards town. The road flew away beneath me.
