I do not own Twilight!

Give it a chance… :)


BPOV

Bang!

The door slammed open. There was no use in looking at who it was.

"Leave her alone!" A pixie like voice chirped

"You are supposed to be her best friend" a velvet voice growled.

I looked up. Not towards the sounds but to where Jess and Lauren were.

Gobsmacked

Mouth hanging open

Eyes popping out their sockets

'What was the big deal?'

As soon as I thought this, I was surrounded by a crowd. Mike was not holding on my arm anymore so I was able to wrap it around my torso to protect myself.

"Bella, are you ok?" the same pixie voiced girl asked. Why did she sound upset?

"Yeah, I'm fine. Um... thank you!" I looked at her. She was kneeling beside me.

Whoa! She looked gorgeous. Short, spiky haircut, beautiful features and golden eyes; she actually looked like a pixie.

"Hey we're new students," she said. "We're siblings. My name is Alice Cullen, this is Emmet Cullen..."

I turned to the 5 strangers around me who were staring at me intently. All very similar but still very different! There was something different about them.

No! As my eyes stopped at the blonde haired guy, I remembered something; something which I had been running from for 5 years. Running from myself!

Flashback

"I'm really getting late, it's hitting 6.00"

I was driving home from Jessica's house when my car stopped working. I've never been good with electrical stuff so I had no idea what was wrong with it.

"Stupid truck has to stop working now!" I yelled furiously.

I just realised that I had left my phone at home. What an evening to do such a thing, I thought.

What was I thinking? I had to have an argument with my parents tonight didn't I? Why was I so stubborn? I looked around to see no one in sight.

There was no other choice but for me to walk it home and that's what I would do. I realised I lived two blocks away from where I currently was.

I started walking. I was sure I could hear something nearby. I started walking faster. Getting more and more paranoid; I stopped and turned around; although I saw nothing I couldn't help the uneasy feeling that was rotating around me. I began to run. I had to get home quick. Just as I began running, I felt a hand wrap around my mouth and grab me. I screamed but nothing was coming out. I couldn't thing coherently. I was being pulled and I could hear myself trying to yell "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I was panicking. What was going on? I was being dragged into the alley way. Whoever was doing it must have been strong with the grasp it had on me.

I didn't know what to do. What did I get myself into? I was pushed against a wall and felt the hand move away from my mouth to my neck. All I was able to think was "I'm going to die!" "I'm going to die!" I looked up and there he was; a few inches away from my face. He was tall and muscular which would have made sense with the strength he had. His crimson red eyes reflected off the moonlight and were glistening across his pale face. His eyes sent a chill through my body; I had never been so scared in my whole life.

I felt his hand move up and down my neck and that's when it hit me. This was it. I was going to get raped.

"Please let me go! Please don't hurt me! I beg you! Please don't..."

"Sshhh! This won't hurt a bit darling" he whispered

"No! No! No! Please!" I cried

"I'm sorry; you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm very thirsty and you smell delicious."

WHAT! HE... HE... WHAT?

"W...would you hurt someone you love?"

"What?" he stammered back.

Here was my chance

"Would you hurt the person you love or let someone hurt her?"

I could see him wavering.

"Would she want you to hurt me? Please let me go! Please..." I begged

He closed his eyes and took a step back

"Go and don't look back" he yelled

I could not move. I was frozen still with fear. Was he really letting me go...? Without another thought, I backed away but before running for it, I spluttered, "Wh... what is your name?

End of Flashback

"Jasper Hale" Alice finally finished

OMF! What was wrong with me? Why do I attract trouble? This was my past. Why can't it stay there? His eyes were now gold like the rest of theirs. I stared at my hands. He wasn't as scary looking as that night. Unlike then, now I knew what he was. Cold hands, pale skin, fast and extremely strong who thirsted for my blood. A VAMPIRE! I could feel them staring. Why were they here?

"I'm such a jinx!" Oops! Did I say that out loud? I left one vampire behind and now I was corrupted with 5 of them.

I had to stay away from them.

I looked up and the bronze haired boy was staring at me with his eyes furrowed together. I turned to Alice, who had concern written all over her face.

"Bella what did you just say?" she asked.

"No...Nothing!"

"We're new here. Would you be able to help us around? I can tell we are going to be best friends."

'Best friends with a vampire! No way' I needed to get away from them.

"Err... This is a small school. It' easy to find your' around here."

It wasn't going to be hard for vampires to find their way around. They probably already knew where everything was.

"And I don't want any best friends" I took a glance at Jessica who was standing in the corner staring. "I don't want any friends for that matter. Sorry! I... I have to go!"

I got up and walked towards the door. I had to get out of here. Before I could stop myself; with my back still turned I whispered, "Thanks for not hurting me! You gave me the chance to realise where I stand although maybe it would have been better if it ended there!"

I walked away.
