Kj P.o.v.

I couldn't believe I was starting public school. But, the further away from Italy I was, the better. I was sure that one I loved couldn't take any more of my father's wrath, with me there. But what happened between us was way in the past. I had spent too many nights mourning our lost love. I had tried to beg him to come with me on my travels, but we both knew how we both would have been chased until caught, and he would have been killed.

The second I had received a call that he would be arriving shortly after Alec, I was ecstatic. The call was from my father him self. I knew he had seen my pain and sadness in my memories that had been caused by his rule. It was him that was so angry, he nearly killed him. Yet I was scared for my new friend. I usually was against human contact unless I am killing them, and I was going to kill Bella myself, until I saw the vision.

It was a wedding between Alec and Bella. It was this girl that my colleague would find happiness with. I was partly excited and partly and partly disappointed. Then I phoned home quickly as I could. The receptionist had no Idea who I was, my last visit being nearly a hundred years ago, but I demanded I spoke with Aro, the leader of that coven.

*FLASHBACK*

"Hola, you have reached Italian tours, how may I help you?" I didn't recognise the voice. It was probably a new receptionist because my dad went through about 20 receptionists every 100 years.

"Is Aro Available? I would like to speak to him."

"Sorry honey, he is busy right now. Can I take a message?"

"Can I talk to Felix then? Alec maybe?"

Silence.

"Are you part of the guard?" She asked quietly.

"Not really. But remember no names of the Volturi coven are given out in the brochures. Can I talk to someone please? A vampire someone perferrabley."

"Sure hun." Her voice was a bit unsteady.

"Hello? Who is this really?" Asked the sour voice of Jane.

"Hey Jane its me, K.j.!"

"Hi K.j.! What do owe this call?" her voice softened up a bit.

"The receptionist refuses to let me talk to my father." I sighed.

"Oh really. I'll have to speak to her about that. Anyway, I'll retrieve him. Everyone, especially me is wondering when your going to visit again. It has been like a hundred years! That is while not see your closest friend. Felix almost never stops talking about you."

"I guess It is a nice thought that he still thinks about me." I told her. "Anyway, I need Aro to send me Alec, I had an important vision, and he is included in it."

"For you I might put in a word to send poor Felix too. He is such a bore when you aren't with him." She told me with the kindness in her tone. I had never heard her talk to any one but Alec and I that way. Like she was happy to talk to us.

"Thank you Jane. I'll try to visit within the next two years or so."

"Alright, goodbye. See you soon, I hope." And she hung up.

*End of flashback*

Bella p.o.v.

I was hiding behind my door when a cold hand came down onto my mouth. I tried to scream, but nothing came out, when I saw the face of my intruder I didn't want to scream anymore.

It was K.j.!

"Why did you do that?" I asked her.

"Because in my vision, You screamed when knocked on your door. What is to fear? My colleague is not coming unless I say it is okay. I have command over him while he is here. And right now he is in big trouble."

I was impressed. I guess the princess really did have a bit of power.

"Thanks, I guess." I shrugged.

"Anyway, I have another friend coming, and I want you to meet him. I would usually tell you stay away and etcetera, but I know you won't listen. He is enrolling with us into the school. I just wanted to inform you that four human killing vampires are in your town. So don't be alarmed if there are a few homicides here and there. Actually I think I might go hunt now. Ta ta, Bella."

That left me a bit dazed. If these vampires ate humans, like me, why didn't they kill me? Why was K.j. not going to kill me? What made me special? These questions made me dizzy. I suddenly knew that today was going to be exhausting.

I got dressed and did my usual morning routine. Brushed the tangles out of my hair, brushed my teeth, and ate breakfast. All that stuff. When I reached the kitchen, Charlie, my police chief father, had already left for work.

A note was set on the table, wishing for a good day. I hoped his kind note hadn't jinxed my day.

I set my breakfast dishes in the sink when the door bell rang. I was scared who it was, but it was just K.j. with the friend she was talking about. He was dark haired, red eyed, and big and scary too. He seemed kind enough.

"Bella, this is Felix. He is the friend I was talking about earlier. Felix, this is Bella. She is the one I told you I put a protection law on. No vampire can touch her unless it is Alec or me." She gave Felix a warning look.

"Nice to meet you Bella." He said bowing to me.

I had never been bowed to. I figured by this transaction he must be an older vampire. Not as old as K.j., but old enough to speak in proper English grammar and treat ladies like a trophy.

"Would you like to ride to school with us? I know you don't have a car yet. And according to the humans, Felix is sixteen." She said smiling up at him.

"Sure. I guess that would be nice." I said accepting my friends invite.

I really hoped that Alec wasn't going to be in any of my classes.

Alec P.o.v.

K.j. had offered me a ride to the first day of high school. I really couldn't understand why she was making me go to high school. She had her strange ways, sometimes even stranger than her father's. They both moved with a purpose, even If her ways were much gentler than his.

I decided to run to school, against K.j.'s wishes. Felix had just arrived, and I thought they might want some privacy.

The strangest thing was through my confinement I couldn't stop thinking of Bella. Her scent was the most alluring I had ever encountered, and I wanted more. Just thinking of her scent made my controlled thirst go away completely. I enjoyed this full feeling, and I didn't want it to end.

I saw the car K.j. had purchased and I could smell Bella's perfect filling scent from the opened windows. I needed to talk to her again. Just the scent of her sweet breath made me feel like I could run faster than anything in this universe, jump higher than any mountain, or break a diamond.

"Hello Bella." I greeted

She seemed startled by my appearance. "Oh great."

"I'm probably should apologize to you. I haven't been around humans in over two thousand years, it's strange how much humans have changed."

It wasn't just the ticking technology that interested me, it was the humans themselves. When I was human, we were married off at the age of seventeen, or we would be considered stubborn and would be frowned upon by society. Humans were also much more controlled, and cared mostly about how they acted, and not how they looked, though that was important too.

"Oh, well, I guess I accept. But Stop touching me!"

"I thought It would be right considering I am a bit out of practice of socializing in general." I told her.

Bella P.o.v.

Ok. First this guy was a total jerk, now he is acting like I am some kind of young lady from back when he was human. What was with this guy? I began wondering if Alec had multiple personality issues, or that being stuck in his house all day made him appreciate the freedom of just being allowed outside.

School started, and the only classes Alec had with me was lunch and biology. He told me I was lucky to have him to cheat off of. I really don't need to cheat off him; I was in advanced classes when I lived in Arizona with my mom.

The first few hours passed quickly, mostly because all we did in classes was read some papers stating rules and we had to sign them and give them back to the teacher promising to follow them religiously. I also talked to some other kids sitting around me when we got done with the signing of papers. When lunch came along, I sat with Alec, Kj, and Felix. I learned that Felix and K.j. were together, kind-of. Apparently K.j.'s dad didn't really like that thought, they had to stay apart.

It was the start of Biology, and Alec and I weren't lab partners. I was sitting alone, actually. The boy who was supposed to be my lab partner, switched classes at the last minute. Alec sat next to a girl called Jessica Stanley, the school gossip girl, who seemed terrified just to look at him. I guessed it was because of his sparkly red eyes. I didn't understand her reaction to Alec. I wasn't scared of him.

It was soon the end of school and I was waiting in the parking lot for K.j. to take me home.

"Bella!" Alec said running over to me at human pace. "You wanna ride home?"

I looked around. "Did you drive here?"

"Nope. I ran. And that is how I plan to get home."

"But I can't run as fast as you." As if it were obvious. I couldn't even walk, let alone run. And running fast would be a nightmare.

A smile reached across his face. "I wasn't exactly planning you to walk yourself. How do you feel about piggyback rides?" He said taking his backpack off.

I suddenly saw his madness. "Uh, will you drop me?"

He shook his head at me. "C'mon." He said walking into the trees that neighbored the high school.

"I really have to learn to say no." I mumbled.

"I heard that!"

"Of course you did." I followed him.

I climbed onto Alec after we were hidden by the trees, and wind started to whiz past me faster than what a tornado would feel like. Trees whirred past me, and even though today there was only a slight breeze, I swore I was in the middle of a rain storm. Suddenly all the movement stopped, like a roller coaster halting, and I was dropped on my butt.

"Whoa." I said trying not to let all my emotions show on face. I wanted to barf, and cheer and tell Alec to take me for another run. I looked around and saw that I was still surrounded by the green trees. "Where are we?" I asked him.

"Right next to your house. Actually maybe a few yards away from your front door." Alec started walking straight and I saw my house right in front of me.

I guess that says something about my sense of direction.
