When Bella finally saw the last vampire walk into the living room, she just about jumped down and ran in there herself. His unmistakable look was the very same as Cederic. Yet she knew Cederic was not turned into a vampire. She helped clean his dead body inside Hogwarts that tragic afternoon. Yet as she looked at him she thought she was seeing a ghost.

Yet there were some differences. The vampire's hair was a bit redder and probably thanks to the transformation his features were sharper. Also he seemed just a bit older. Yet he was still very attractive. Bella was very close to Cederic as they had spent many summers together perfecting their magic and also because they only had a couple of school years together.

As Bella watched the vampires run out of the house she decided now would be a good time to catch up on some sleep. Since it was almost two days since she had any sleep.

Bella lowered herself back down to the ground and walked inside her tent and refigured herself back to her human form.

Her tent was nice, since it had a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and small library inside of it. It would take care of most of her needs and give her a little entertainment. Not to mention to muggles it looked like a pup tent.

Bella decided the first thing she needed to do was to have a bath. Bella only normally had time for a shower but she preferred baths. They helped her relax after dealing with some strenuous situation. Also while she was relaxing she needed to send a message to Dumbledore and find out about Cederic's ancestry to see if a prior relative went missing or died unexpectedly.

Bella suspected that maybe that vampire might be some long lost relative. If this was true she needed to know how close, because even those subtle differences, Bella thought that vampire was hot.

Bella just finished filling up her tub when she dumped some bath salts into the water. She then walked to her bedroom to pull out a loose spaghetti strapped nightgown. It was cotton and a nice dark blue. It also went to her knees; it was her favorite thing to wear to bed. She grabbed some underwear that just happened to match.

She took those along with a couple of towels and went back to her tub filled with hot water and got in. It was now the perfect temperature. Bella got in and immediately her muscles began to relax. As she relaxed she immediately began to fantasize about the unusual hair colored vampire. Bella decided she needed to decide what his hair color was.

I wasn't a traditional red, by any sense of the definition. Yet it wasn't brown either. Auburn might be a more technical term, but it was lighter than that. As Bella thought of it was like brown hair with red highlights and maybe blonde too. It defiantly wasn't some hair color you could recreate without some inspiration to begin with.

After Bella soaked for awhile and thought about the gorgeous vampire, Bella decided she was relaxed and clean enough and so she got out of the water. Bella dried herself off and wrapped her hair. Then she got dressed into what she wanted to wear to bed.

Then she went to the kitchen and sat at the table. Bella pulled out her comb and began to take out the knots. Then she went to her bag and pulled out the picture of Phineas.

Bella saw him sleeping and decided to wake him. "Phineas", Bella called out, "wake up."

Phineas was disturbed from his sleep and saw his charge Bella in front of him, needing his services. "What do you want," he gruffly replied. "I need you to go to Dumbledore and request a family tree with background information on my cousin Cederic." Bella replied. "Why." Phineas asked, he couldn't see the importance in the information. "Because I said and I want it, now go," Bella replied.

Phineas then huffed and started to walk to his other portrait, grumbling about disrespectful youth.

As Bella watched him leave, she decided to stick his portrait on a living room wall. She didn't need him disturbing her sleep. So Bella then got up, grabbed her wand and charmed it onto the wall. Then she went to the bedroom enchanted the windows to block out the sun and then she crawled in bed. It took her no time to fall asleep.

As the week had past Bella got a good feel for the family that she had been watching, everyone in that family was not what you typically expected from a vampire coven.

Bella remembered learning about them for magical creatures. They also taught about them in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but that was for previous witch or wizards that was turned. They were wizards who couldn't control their instincts and magical abilities after being turned so they had to be destroyed.

Yet; some of these vampires could have been a witch or wizard if they were taught. Especially Alice, the seer. She had a true gift, even one that most wizards would have coveted.

As she lounged in her tree today, Bella was hoping for the arrival of a package from Dumbledore. Bella just didn't know how it was to arrive; Phineas was to tell her that bit of information later. Since it was just coming up on lunch time for Bella, she decided to descend the tree, eat, and hopefully find out how that package was coming.

Bella walked into her tent and transfigured herself to her normal self and went to the fridge. There wasn't much left and Bella knew she was either going to go into town, or she was going to conjure up some more food. Depending on how her package was arriving was what she was going to do.

Bella heard Phineas call out her name so she shut the refrigerator door and went to see what he had to say.

"What Phineas" Bella asked.

"Well Bella" Phineas started, "Your package should be arriving today at the muggle post office. It should be in box 50 as that was the address on the package. Also the combination to the box is 09/13/20."

"Thank you Phineas" Bella stated and decided to get changed. Bella put on a long flowing skirt with a sweater. It somewhat matched considering the skirt was brown and the shirt was white. Yet Bella didn't care for what she wore in the muggle world as long as she didn't stand out as much as she would if she wore her robes.

Also Bella decided to conjure some muggle currency as she didn't have any.

Bella grabbed her bag and put her wand in her skirt pocket. She wanted that nearby in case she needed it.

Bella trekked through the woods until she was far enough away to apparate to the outer woods outside of Forks.

As soon as she reappeared at the border of the tree line, Bella took a cursory look to see some people across the way looking for a car that backfired. Bella cursed herself for she didn't think about the small town ramifications of using apparition so close to town. Bella was going to have to rethink using that traveling tool.

As soon as the people finally decided to continue on with their day did Bella decide to walk out of the trees. Bella decided to walk through some business to get to the main street. Up ahead she saw what they called a post office. Bella decided this is where the muggle post had to go.

As Bella was heading for it, she noticed a black car coming her way. In it she noticed Carlisle Cullen driving. She got a good look at him, but what was also shocking was he took the time into appraising her as well. Strange she thought, but she decided she must continue on. Bella also noticed that a few other people around town was paying attention to her as well and started whispering about her.

Bella continued on until she got to the post office and walked inside. She saw many little boxes lined up around a wall and to her left another door leading to where an attendant stood. Bella looked at the numbers until at the back she finally found box 50.

She dialed the combination. She laughed as she realized it was her birthday, but oh well at least it was memorable. At first she couldn't get it open, so Bella turned around and looked. There was no around and no cameras. So she took out her wand and tapped the box and stated her combination. It popped right open. Inside was a long cylinder package. Bella pulled it out, closed the door, and put the package in her bag. Now she just needed to get some food, so she would have something new to eat.

Bella put her wand back into her pocket and walked out deciding to look for a grocery store.

As she walked along the sidewalk she noticed another car coming. This one was a silver one. Yet inside she noticed some Cullens heading towards the other end of town. Yet what was really interesting is how it slowed down as it passed by her.

Bella did notice who the passengers were, yet she just acted like she was walking on without staring at the car, as the other town inhabitants seemed to do. Up ahead where she apparated in. Bella noticed a whole foods sign.

Well Bella thought, this is where they must buy food. So she looked at both sides of the road before crossing. Then she walked straight to the store to pick some items. Bella only wanted some chicken, some sauces, and some pasta. She really didn't need to get a lot since that would probably raise some questions.

Yet as Bella went to the checkout counter, the person ringing her up kept staring at her.

The girl, named Jessica, was apparently trying to decide how to start a conversation. The she asked, "Are you knew to town?"

Now Bella knew she was going to have to be careful about how she answered questions because she knew things could change and she didn't know how long she would be here. So she decided to be vague and quick. "Yes, what is my total please?"

Bella responded.

Jessica looked disappointed as she didn't offer a more elaborate answer, so she stated "$11.59 Are you staying long?"

Bella decided to go with a non committal shrug and said "good day" and walked quickly out the door. As soon as she was far enough away from the entrance towards the side of the building; Bella quickly began to take in her surroundings and put her groceries in her bag.

As she saw no one around her, she took off quickly towards the woods and walked further in before Bella apparated again. Hoping this time no one heard her.

As soon as she reappeared she walked quickly to her tent and went inside. Bella decided she was going to have think about being around muggles again and what her story was going to be, before she ever went back into town again.

As it was late afternoon, Bella quickly put her groceries away and conjuring herself a sandwich. Bella quickly ate it then transfigured herself then went up her tree to check on the Cullens.

AN:

I know I want Bella to be a large feline for her animal if you haven't figured it out yet.

However should the cat be indigenous from North America or exotic like I have in mind.

Just curious to your thoughts?
