New surprise, and visitors
Don't own Stephanie Meyer, or the Characters
Edward point of View
It has been five-years since Bella joined the family. She is officially eleven-years-old and turning into a beautiful young lady.
Today, It was Bella's first day of 5th grade. I glanced at her wide smile as she stared at the school she was attending.
"I can't wait Edward! New friends, enemies, teachers and homework BLAH" she made a ghastly face as she grabbed my hand and dragged me in the school.
"Now Bella, I can't stay for too long, I have school too you know" I said. I scrunched up my face as something hit my nose. What was this? I knew this smell; I just couldn't put my finger on it.
As I entered the entrance of the school, Bella suddenly stopped abruptly. I turned to her, my face stoned and calm so she wouldn't think something was wrong. I mean, it IS her first day of 5th grade.
"Edward, is something wrong?" she asked me with full concern in her voice. I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit; she was cute when she made that face.
"Nothing is wrong, why would you think that?" As I pushed her lightly to her classroom, I glanced inside. Looked decent, but that strange scent was still lingering. The warm feeling left my hand as Bella skipped to her best friend Angela. Angela came over to the house sometimes she was a nice girl. The bell rang loudly. I walked over to Bella.
"Be good in school alright? I'll pick you up after school" I said smiling at her. I looked in her eyes as excitement lingered in it, but a tint of sadness was in there.
"Promise Edward?" She launched herself to me and gave me a great big hug. I wrapped my arms around her tightly as I could, making sure not to hurt her as well.
"Pinky swear" As I kissed her on the cheek. I stood up and waved at the teacher before walking away.
What a nice brother he is, and charming as well as I heard her thinking.
I exited the room and slowly stopped in mid walking. A boy the age of Bella stood by his locker getting his books. His scent…I finally understood. A werewolf. The boy closed his locker and started to jog over to Bella's classroom.
"Jacob Black, your late" I heard the teacher holler at him. Black. where have I heard of that name before? Oh well, I'll just ask Carlisle who he is.
EDWARD! You're going to be late for school if you don't hurry up. Rosalie thought. My eyes narrowed ahead of me. School. How dull. My face scrunched up like Bella's. I laughed as I noticed I was just like Bella.
I finally got to my car and started the engine. My car slowly inched, and then I pushed the gas petal as far as it would go.
As I stood outside my Volvo, listening to the bell ring. I heard a squeal as Bella stood out in the entrance. She came running down the stairs, but she suddenly slipped on the last stair, making her fall. Of course, being vampire I sped up to her and caught her before she hit the ground. I looked at her as she opened her eyes. She looked around and sighed in relief.
"What am I going to do with you Bella?" as I sighed and rolled my eyes as I set her on her feet.
" Well I'm sorry, but I can't help it that I'm clumsy" she said as she brushed her jeans and arranged her backpack. I stopped her and grabbed the backpack from her and walked to the car. I heard her light footsteps behind me as she climbed up in the passenger seat. As I shut my door I glanced at the window to see Jacob standing on the sidewalk waiting for someone. A man appeared and gave Jacob a hug and pulled him to his car, the man glancing at my way. I narrowed my eyes, and sped away from the two.
Bella pressed the button to her favorite station and started to sing. I sighed.
"Bella, is it really necessary to listen to this station?"
"Edward, just because your sooo old, doesn't mean you can criticize the music these days" she said as she exaggerated old. I chuckled at her as we stopped at the driveway. The garage was open which probably meant that Rosalie was working on someone's car. Before I could open the house door Alice waltzed to Bella kissing her on both cheeks.
"I am so glad that you two have arrived! I want to take Bella out shopping"
"Alice, didn't you already take her out shopping, I believe just a few days ago?" I questioned her. I put Bella's backpack on the couch as I sat beside it. I caught Bella run in the kitchen and grab an apple and ran back here, only to be stopped by Emmett.
"Hey Bella, want to go play?"
"Emmett! I'm taking Bella shopping with me" Alice hollered at him from the staircase.
"How do you know? She didn't answer you" Emmett glared at Alice.
"Because I know what she's going to say" Alice skipped down the stairs to Bella. I turned to Bella, who I don't think was listening but enjoying her apple.
"I'll go shopping with Alice first, then play with you Emmett, afterwards" As her cheeks were full with apple bits, biting into it hungrily.
"Yes!"
"Fine, I'll wait for you Bella" As Emmett strolled away, probably go bug Rosalie.
Bella came back with clean hands and face. She sat beside me and poked my head. I turned slowly, looking at her.
"What are you going to do while I'm going to shop with Alice?" she asked as she played with my hair.
"I'll probably go hunting, or sit on this couch until you come home.
Since she knew of our habits, we could tell her anything freely. Plus, she knew that we all had special powers of our own. Since she knew that I could read mines, she hid hers very well. Strangely though, I can't read hers and when it comes to Jasper, she didn't like it when he played with her emotions. Now when it came to play games with Alice, Bella hated playing games with her. Even though Alice promised her that she wouldn't use hers.
"What kind of animals are you going to hunt this time?" Bella liked to keep track of what animals I hunted or what I liked. Of course, the family and I wouldn't let her witness the hunts. Who knew what would happen if we let her. I wouldn't put her in that danger.
"Anything that crosses me, I don't feel that thirsty today"
As we sat on the couch, Alice came down.
"Ready to go Bella?" Her voice was very happy today, but of course, that was Alice.
As Alice walked out the door, Bella hesitated and turned back to me
"Don't' forget to tell me what animal you hunt today, alright?"
"I won't" She smiled at me and closed the door. When Bella left sometimes, I felt lonely. Like I couldn't live without her. Well, no time in sulking. I silently stood up and walked to the kitchen. Esme was there baking pie. Even though we don't eat food, she still made food for Bella.
"How are you Edward?"
"I'm good" It was pretty much quiet, too quiet
Carlisle is in his studies I glanced up at Esme and she gave me a wink.
"Thank you" It was barely a whisper, just enough for her to hear.
I walked up and stood in front of Carlisle's door.
"Come in" I opened the door and closed it softly.
"What brings you here?" Carlisle swerved his chair facing me.
" Today when I was dropping off Bella at her school, a werewolf was attending her school, the name of Jacob Black. I know his name is familiar but I can't remember" I slightly touched his books while I told him. I turned to Carlisle to see his face stone hard.
"The Quiluets, Edward. The werewolf family" My fingers stopped where it was. I turned to face Carlisle. My eyes narrowed
"Their here? Still?" My voice hard and cold. That little boy's great-grandfather's was the one who made the treaty with us. Making us a truce that if we stayed off their land, they wouldn't expose us. Even though we drink animal blood, it still didn't mean we weren't dangerous. What if Bella gets hurt from that dog
"Should we take Bella out of the school?" I asked
"No, not yet. Nothing has gone wrong…yet" Carlisle's pencil started tapping the table. I glanced at the time. They were almost coming home. I silently left Carlisle's office and headed outside to go hunt. Hmmm…what animal should I catch?
As I came close to the house I heard a groan in the house.
" Emmett…your-going-to-kill-me" I guess they were already playing games.
"Oh, opps Bella, sorry about that" I entered the house as Emmett got off of the floor with a sprawled Bella on the floor. She turned to me as I entered the room. She sat up.
"What was on the menu today?"
I gave her a crooked smile then finally caught on.
"Today was Bears, wolves, typical" Esme brought out a piece of pie and gave it to Bella. Just as she was going to take a bite of it she stopped, the fork in mid air.
My eyebrows rose. "Is something wrong?"
"No, I was just wondering if any one wanted to have a bite" Even though she knew that we didn't eat food, she was still generous and asked us if we wanted some of her food.
We all shook our heads.
"No dear, go ahead and dig in" Esme smiled happily. Bella nodded back and took a bite.
"Always-good" her mouth full of pie, I chuckled. Rosalie came down with Alice, their face troubled. We waited for Alice to announce her news.
"There's going to be visitors soon…" her voice whispered enough just for all of us to hear. Bella stopped eating and gulped.
"What do you mean, Alice?" Emmett stood up and sat on a chair as everyone waited and listened.
"I didn't see this coming soon enough, they were just going to stroll in the town, but I guess they caught some of Edward's scent when he was hunting.
