Chapter 3: Scents

It was a usual day in dreary Forks. The rain was falling, puddles were being formed, and a blue sky was just a faerie tale.

Bella walked slowly to school holding her black umbrella over head. Her posture was perfectly straight, a habit she had picked up some 200 years ago. It had been nearly a month since she had arrived in this bleak town. Bella found the city dull and vandalizing the area could only keep her entertained for oh so long. She had enrolled herself at Forks High as a sophomore under false pretenses. It wasn't too hard to hack into the school's mainframe even though she hadn't touched technology since the 80's.

Everyone of Bella's classmate wondered why she walked to school instead of driving. She had been asked if she need a ride various times by her 'friends,' but most of all by the ever-persistent Mike Newton.

She never let them though. Probable because she didn't have a real destination that they could take her to. Bella was living in a tent in the forest. She had stole it from a store on the outskirts of the puny town. It held all the necessities and shelter that she needed.

A car drove passed Bella almost splashing her with its wake. She let out a sigh. Bella was always a bit irritable when she started to feel the need to hunt. Esme would have to be her next victim. The idea of slicing into the nearly impenetrable cream colored skin made her smile.

Bella checked her watch. She would be late if she continued at this pace. In one swift motion she closed her umbrella, her eyes flashed from brown to purple, and she was running. Raindrops seemed to hover motionless in the air as she ran. Not one of them landed on her.

When Bella stopped running and her eyes turned back to brown she was only half a block away from the boxy school. The rain seemed to started moving again and Bella put her umbrella back up.

Mike Newton stood waiting under the shelter of a tin roof as she turned the final corner and into his view. He was waving like a manic at Bella. Bella lifted her hand and gave a very short, stiff wave. She didn't even bother giving him a fake smile. His idiotic childishness had become annoying after the first two sentences he spoke to her when she first enrolled at the school.

Interacting with people wasn't really something she willingly participated in. Most of the time she wanted to give them a swift kick to one of the temples on their heads, killing them.

"Guess what, Bella!" Mike took the liberty of following Bella when she walked passed him without a word.

"What Mike?" Bella's voice held no interest, but Mike didn't notice.

"We're getting new students today!" He waited for Bella to question him about his discovery, but she didn't say anything. "Jessica's mom was talking to Mrs. Cope from the attendant's office and apparently there are four of them. Aren't you excited?" Mike was bouncing up and down, practically wagging an imaginary tail.

"Super excited. I'm so excited I can't contain myself." Bella's voice was monotone and her eyes looked distinctively dead. Mike looked at her wide eyed, waiting for her to smile to show that she was joke. Bella didn't crack a smile and continued speaking. "Why should I be excited? They're just people like you and I." Mike frowned at her response. Bella's face was stoic, but on the inside she was grinning. She doubted that these new comers were anything like her or Mike. They were probable the rest of the vampire 'family' her two vamp-snack-packs were talking about last time she stalked them.

Mike walked away dejectedly and Bella heard him say in a defeated voice, "We usually don't get this many new students in such a short time. She should be excited." He mumbled indistinctively, "should be fawning all over me." Bella could practically see the puppy dog eyes he was making.

"Stupid child." She whispered to herself as she tried to ignore the many humans that swarmed in the school.

Bella went to her first period class early. Everyone still stared at her as she entered the classroom and took her seat in the back and flipped through her textbook, comparing her knowledge and the written information. People were whispering about the new kids. Bella zoned out until the bell finally rang dismissing her from the class. Staying in a human form sucked. Her muscles grew strained from sitting in one place for so long. In her true form she could stay stationary for years, the only thing compelling her to move being her thirst.

As she walked out of the classroom she smelt the new student's scents mixed in with the rest of the schools. They were defiantly vampire, most likely four. Each of their scents held a different characteristic to Bella. One smelt slightly tangy, another had a very mainstream smell, one smelt delicious, and the last had a rougher, blended smell to it. She pushed her tongue flat to the top of her mouth then back down a few times, tasting the air. The blended smell was probably a vampire who had been bitten by various other vampires, their venom mixing with the host vampire.

Bella decided that the one that smelt delicious would be her next prey instead of Sally-Homemaker-Esme. The human personas that they all put on disgusted her. They pretended to be human to hide their true, monstrous nature. Bella pretended to be human so she could stack her prey more easily.

Bella's classes went the same as usual until she went to lunch. The whispering had increased throughout the day and was now at its loudest and most obnoxious. Everyone in the cafeteria was staring at the new students unabashedly.

Bella only spared them a glance. They had the same golden eyes as the two other vampires in the small town. More freaks.

"The blond chick is so freakin' hot." Tyler whispered to Mike on the other side of the table.

"Dude she's so out of your league. I kind of like the short one, but I still have my eyes on Bella. I'm telling ya, she's starting to soften up to me. She'll be my girlfriend within the week." Bella suppressed a snort and took a bite of food. She didn't need to eat, but trying the different flavors of modern food held her attention, if only momentarily.

Bella's eyes wondered over to the new students out of boredom, still chewing on some sort of grilled sandwich. Jessica caught her looking.

"Have you heard about the Cullens yet?" Bella shook her head no and Jessica started giving her every detail about their weird relationship, being adopted and other ridiculous things that Bella didn't care about, knowing most of it was false anyways. The only thing she picked up of importance was their names, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper.

Even though their relationship status had spread throughout the whole school people were still going up to the Cullens and asking them out, attracted to their vampiric beauty. A small laugh escaped her lips when yet another girl was shot down and the laugh only became louder when she saw Jessica making doe eyes at Emmett.

Lunch ended and as Bella was walking by the table the Cullens were sitting she distinguished their scents and found the one that had the delicious scent. It was definitely Rosalie, the tall blond female.

Bella's eyes flashed purple quickly from wanting to pounce on her right then and there, but she righted herself. She would get hers soon enough.

The school day passed slowly and Bella fidgeted as she tried to walk at a normal pace out of the school. Mike called her from halfway down the hallway, but she pretended not to hear him.

Once she was out of the cramped school she went to the tree line and disappeared into the vegetation. Minutes later she reappeared outside of the Cullen household in a tree. The house looked completely different from the last time she saw it. It actually looked like livable now.

None of the Cullens were home yet excluding Esme who was doing something on the top floor of the house. Bella could hear a car with no heartbeat driving it a few miles off after she stayed motionless for ten minutes.

They eventually pulled into the long driveway. They were discussing a bet on who would be asked out the most on the first day. Apparently Jasper had won, but Emmett wanted a rematch. Alice was giggling in the back and Rosalie was completely ignoring them while driving.

At first when they entered the house they all stayed together talking, but then they went their own ways. Jasper to his office, Emmett to the TV room, Alice went to her closet, and Rosalie went all by herself to the garage.

Bella glided down from the tree she was sitting on and landed with the same sound as a butterfly flapping its wings. She trailed the blond into the garage. Rosalie was tinkering away at an engine, oil covering her alabaster hands. Her back was to Bella. Bella brushed the hair away from her neck.

"Emmett," Rosalie said in a warning tone in response to Bella's touch, "I'm working. Shoo." Bella bit into her neck and Rosalie fainted, another successful feeding.

A few months went by like this. To them Bella was just another ignorant human. To Bella…they were delicious.

The coven of four ran in a V formation. Edward was at the tip and everyone was behind him, following his lead. He slowed down and so did his coven. His nose was high in the air breathing in deeply.

"Meet me in Chicago." Edward said to his coven. They looked at him questioningly.

"Where are you going?" Diana asked, not used to being without a leader. Edward growled at her ferociously.

"There is no need to worry. I'll be back within the month. Just go to Chicago and wait for me there." Edward nodded at Phelps and he took Diana's hand. They started running in the direction of Illinois. Martin followed behind them after glancing back at Edward.

Edward waited until they were out of his sight before he moved. He sniffed the air again and headed in the direction of the scent that had caught his attention, the scent of Carlisle, his maker. It was time to pay him a little visit, perhaps stir up his life for the worse.

Updated! I love sadistic Edward and kind Cullen clan interaction, throw some crazy Bella in to it… shit even I'm excited. Review please!
