When Bella visited Jessica two days ago to say she was furious was an understatement. Bella spouted her anger and frustrations to a wide eyed Jessica.
She started with the vampire problem: their increase in size, then how the wolves patrolled La Push and how maddening it was to know that she had enemies pouring out of her ears.
Bella then ranted even more, as she paced, about how little she knew of the vampires after her. She figured out how their eyes were gold, but still found it unusual.
After speaking with Jessica for near two hours, Bella's anger had subsided and her throat was hoarse from so much use. She used her compulsion to make her forget the conversation.

Two days later and both Bella and Jessica were standing in her apartment. Bella had a plan, and used her compulsion on Jessica to make way for the plan to work.

Bella stared deep into Jessica's frightened eyes. "Jessica, I want you to spy on the Cullen's; find out as much as you can about them."

The girl nodded her head before opening her mouth, her bottom lip trembling. "W-what if I get c-caught?"

Bella let out a hollow laugh then smiled. There was no doubt silly Jessica would be caught.

"If you get caught, then tell them you were spying."

Jessica's face twisted in panic and confusion. "You want me t-to tell them I was s-spying?"

Bella clucked her tongue against the roof of her mouth. "Stop stuttering Jessica. Honestly, you're driving me nuts."

When had Jessica been so nervous around her? Sure, Bella was intimidating and scared her to keep her in line, but she used compulsion after ever task she set the dim wit.

Was it possible that subconsciously Jessica was remembering the way Bella treated her and some how understood the danger she presented?

Bella shook her head to herself and focused on the task at hand. "Focus on the strawberry blonde and the pale blonde too. I need to know who they are, soon."

Jessica's cheeks flushed as if she was so mortified at having to do someone's bidding, even if she was being compelled. Maybe she really was fighting it subconsciously.

"Um, w-well all r-right."

Bella smiled and patted Jessica on the arm. Then she ushered the girl out of her apartment. "Come back here only when you're done. You will not get followed, nor tell them who I am. Remember, you are their to spy on the two new girls: both blonde, and both are rather hot. So seem like you're flustered around them and tell them how stunning they are."

With that, Bella closed the door on Jessica and started laughing. Oh how funny that will be to see. Bella only wished she could be there to witness it.

Pulling out her phone she text Jessica the place where they stayed and then told her to delete the text.

With it being Sunday, Bella couldn't help but feel a little nervous about the following morning waiting for her.

She had never went to a school before, so she didn't really know what to think about it.

Four hours later, Bella was stretched across the couch watching crap T.V and eating chips with dip.

Today had been a very lazy day, especially for her. She was starting to get grip with her new lifestyle and habits.

Bella smiled to herself as she caught Jessica's scent and grinned. The smell of sweat fear and lust hit Bella. She she let out another chuckle as Jessica opened the door, sashaying in and falling on the arm chair next to Bella's head.

"So, how did it go? Did you find out anything?"

Jessica looked over at Bella with rouged cheeks from the sharp winds currently attacking Bella's windows.

"I found out something... like how they never eat, or how they seem to never falter on anything. But nothing vampire wise, I'm afraid."

Nodding, Bella had half suspected as much but urged her on with the wave of a salsa covered chip.

"I... I got caught like you s-said I would. So... I t-told them what you said I was to tell them."

Grinning, Bella held back her laughter as she chewed her chip and swallowed. "What did they say?"

Jessica positively blushed tomato red. "Well, they, uh... the strawberry blonde and the other one are called Tanya and Kate. They're, uh, cousins of the Cullen's and Hales. When I said I was spying on them they seemed intrigued..."

Her face was so red by now that if you held up a tomato next to her you wouldn't see the difference.

"They both came over to me and acted weird... smelling me I think hell they told me I should come upstairs with them and that I wasn't bad looking. I didn't know what to do but then a loud noise ran through the house. At first I thought it was a animal then I saw it was Rosalie. She was really angry and said that she didn't believe me. She spoke to the family and they acted a bit weird and off after that."

Bella pursed her lips, in deep thought before speaking aloud, "perhaps they caught you to why you were really there? Hmm, it doesn't matter. You did well Jessica. I'm very proud of you. Anyway, I'm sure you're pretty tired so why don't you go home and get some rest because that's exactly what I am going to be doing."

Jessica rose up from the couch, bid Bella goodbye and goodnight before leaving and locking the door behind her. Bella couldn't help but smile to herself. One thing was for sure about this town: things were very interesting.

The next day, Bella got up nice and early and drove slowly to school. It wasn't far away and she was never likely to miss it even if she was a human.

A big sign with Forks High stood just at the entrance. Once Bella parked her truck, she made her way towards another truck. It was black and had a group of kids gathered around it.

Bella noticed Jessica was standing there and made her way over to her. Jessica must have seen her walking over because she smiled and waved at her.

Bella didn't have to do much really, Jessica introduced the group to her and Bella just nodded at everyone individually.

He throat was already burning like crazy though and she could smell the guys arousal, all three of them: Mike, Tyler and Eric. It wasn't pleasant.

Bella felt a little odd, almost out of place in a way. Jessica showed her to the office where her auntie worked and picked up her schedule.

"Here we go," a spectacled woman said, handing over Bella's schedule. Bella smiled and thanked her before looking at it.

Period one: Spanish,
Period two: History,
Period three: Biology,
Period four: English.

Lunch

Period five: PE,
Period six: Art.

Bella turned to Jessica. "How many do I have with you?"

Playing with her phone, Jessica didn't look up. "Two, I think? Spanish and PE. Maybe biology? I cant remember."

With a frown, Bella wondered to herself how long this would last. Her throat ached and the scents all around her certainly made things difficult.

"Aren't we a bit early?" Bella spoke quietly to Jessica who looked up from her phone and smiled. "Nah, class starts in ten. We should be good."

Nodding, Bella continued to follow her to Spanish. Once they reached the class Jessica walked over to a seat at the back of the class and sat down.

She said hi to her teacher and introduced Bella, who handed over a small pink slip that had to be singed by every teacher.

The woman took it and smiled at Bella then told her to take a seat beside Jessica. Once the class was full, Bella's throat really started to burn and she felt a little pain too.

Bella did her best to ignore it and tried to focus on her first lesson. She was picking it up really quick and was already out shining the class; her teacher was most impressed.

After the class, Bella followed Jessica again to her next class: History. Like the last one, Bella was introduced to her teacher and got the small pink slip signed.

She took her seat next to Jessica and began to learn History, as if she didn't know it all already. Because of that, Bella quickly became bored.

School wasn't what she thought it would be and right now, she was finding it really difficult to settle in. The scents all around her were driving her crazy.

Nothing really exciting happened until Bella reached her third class. Instead of sitting next to Jessica, she was told to take a seat next to the window.

What Bella wasn't expecting though, was a sickly sweet scent mixed with decay to meet her nose. Squirming in her seat, Bella looked to the door frame just in time to see a handsome boy walk in.

She could hear whispers break out in the classroom the main topic still being her but now it was thrown in with the sexy Edward Cullen.

Bella tried her best not to act suspicious as the boy made his way over to her. With a frown, the boy took his seat next to Bella.

As the class went on, Bella could feel and see from the sides of her eye that he kept looking at her. A frustrated expression seemed to be permeate on his face.

What was his problem? Bella thought to herself. When the bell rang to signal the next class, the boy practically ran away, leaving a confused Bella walking behind him.

Jessica didn't have the next class with her and despite being a vampire, Bella had no idea where to go. It wasn't until a passing student pointed her in the right direction did she manage to find it.

Arriving five minutes late on her first day wasn't what Bella wanted so she began running along at human speed in the corridor.

Bella caught a whiff of a scent that made her tense slightly. Honey and cream. Rosalie? Bella knocked on the door then entered the classroom.

Whispering broke out like a sweep of wind.

"Is that the new girl?"

"She's hot."

"She's ugly."

"She's weird."

Ignoring them, Bella made her way to the teacher, handed her the slip to sign then took the only spare, which coincidently was next to Rosalie Hale.

The woman had a massive scowl on her face already and it didn't help when Bella took a seat next to her.

The whole period went by rather fast for Bella but she admitted to herself that she needed to feed, and soon.

Bella did her best not to stare at Rosalie, and not to breathe in her scent too much. It seemed to make her dazed and confused.

Rosalie on the other hand just stared out the window and at one point Bella was sure she heard her growl to herself.

Once the bell rang, Bella got up and put her books into her bag. She was confused when Rosalie didn't run out like her brother.

In fact, she didn't run out at all and while the rest of the class left, Bella went up to the teacher, collected her slip and put it in her pocket all while feeling the prickle of Rosalie's gaze on her.

Bella made her way out the classroom and started to move down the corridor, Rosalie right behind her.

With the halls half empty, kids eager to get to lunch, Bella felt Rosalie's breath on her neck, causing small tingles to roll all over her skin.

"I will be watching you." Was all the blonde said before making her way past Bella and down to the cafeteria hall.

Bella tried to breathe evenly but found she was replaying Rosalie's words over and over in her head, causing her heart to race and desire to slighter through her belly.

More demanding than her need was her burning hungry. But with what the blonde had not moments ago proclaimed, Bella had to ask herself if it was worth the risk.

Did she want to get caught? They could easily be a threat to her, but then why were they in school?Confused, Bella decided she would go right after school.

So instead of leaving the building, she made her way towards the cafeteria deciding human food would curb some of the hunger.

Once there, Bella didn't feel so hungry as every time she looked at the different choices on the menu she saw them as pieces of the human body, or blood.

Spotting Jessica, Bella made her way over and took a seat beside her. Looking about the lunch room, Bella did her best to block out the people at her table.

Mostly because they were boring and were talking about some movie. Scanning around, Bella made eye contact with gold eyes.

She raised her eye brow at the table nearest the end of the room of which seated the Cullen's and the Hale's.

They were all talking amongst each other and hadn't seemed to see her watching them. Bella could hear them easily enough but the sudden flash of gold eyes piercing her own made her not want to listen in on what they are saying.

It wasn't until one of them, the big one said Rosalie's name did Bella tune in again but kept her gaze glued to the table top.

"Rosalie, you had class with her, what's she like?"

Bella couldn't see but she could only imagine the blondes face split into one of anger before rounding on the big guy and snapping back at him, "a total weirdo."

Bella took the hit with a sting of rejection and kept her features blank incase anyone looked over at her.

She felt even more humiliated when there was a chorus of chuckles.

Someone else spoke up, Edward. "no she's not, Rosalie. You're just saying that because she's confused about her surroundings."

A small voice spoke up, Alice. "What Rosalie still believes is that she's the vampire we're looking for."

There was silence and since the question was more directed towards Edward, Bella could only imagine he had nodded his head in response.

Bella felt her heart kick in fear. Rosalie still thought she was a vampire? Of course she did. The woman wasn't giving this up easily.

The bell rang to signal the end of lunch and Bella forced her gaze back to normal after having it clouded over. She followed Jessica to PE in a daze.

"So would you like to come?" Jessica asked Bella who was still engaged in her thoughts.

Bella turned to her and asked, "what?"

Jessica looked annoyed. "To La Push beach at the weekend. The weather is meant to be nice."

In deep thought, Bella nodded her head. Why not? Then she could catch up with Jacob and hack into her other source of information.

Once they reached PE and changed, they made their way to a big sports hall. Bella found out they were going to be doing dodge ball.

Bella wouldn't of minded if Rosalie the, big vampire and another Cullen hadn't all been in the hall with her.

Bella knew it was best to ignore them, or that was the plan. Until fate turned into a bitch and she was paired up with Emmett on her team.

She found out his name because he came over to her and started joking around and even thought Bella knew it was an act on his part, she couldn't help but laugh at him. He he was kind of funny.

Once the teacher blew the whistle for the game to start, Bella did her best not to throw it too hard, or act non-human in anyway.

The game was fun, she had to admit. As the game went on, Bella managed to dodge a ball thrown at her using her acrobatics.

She dodged out the way and there was a loud 'ooooh' from the crowd watching on the benches which boosted her ego.

As Bella threw her ball straight at the vampire who Emmet said was called Jasper, it hit him in the chest and immediately Bella knew he had allowed it.

With Jasper out, Bella set herself up with Rosalie. The two of them stared each other down across the different parts of the gym.

Bella had a smirk across her face, Rosalie had a scowl. Bella decided to move first. Picking up a ball, she threw it at Rosalie.

The blonde dodged it then threw her ball back. Bella couldn't move out in time. There was a loud smack, followed by a sickening crunch in the air as Bella collapsed over, holding her stomach and gasping in pain.

Bella wasn't hurt anymore, the pain had lasted seconds, but she had to act like it. The loud crunch was her shoulder.

Rosalie had dislocated it and because it was already healing, she popped it again to make sure it didn't heal.

Pushing herself up off the ground, Bella faked a cry and looked over at Rosalie with wet lashes and streaked cheeks.

The smirk that was once there was now replaced by worry and Bella instantly felt bad. Damn you, Rosalie.

Walking over to the wall, Bella hit her shoulder against the wall on purpose, as if she was a clumsy human unaware of her own bones.

There was another crunch, followed by a pained grunt. Bella turned around to face her teacher and class, all of whom said she should go to the nurse and asked if she was ok.

Bella waved them all off. The one thing that didn't go unnoticed by Bella was the looks Rosalie got from her family, they varied from angry to curious.

Once the rest of the class left and after a lengthy discussion with the teacher, Bella was finally on her way out of gym and towards her last class of the day: Art.

She promising her teacher that she would keep her arm close to her body before she got to the nurse.

Art wasn't what Bella expected. For one thing, there was only seven people in this class. Why was it so small?

Secondly there were two vampires in this class as well Alice and Rosalie. Bella couldn't help but frown to herself as she picked up her scent.

When Bella entered the class, the teacher signed her slip and told her to take a seat at the back, which is where Rosalie and Alice were.

The classroom was really small and the chairs were fixed around a single massive table which was centred right in the middle.

Both Alice and Rosalie stopped talking when Bella took a seat beside them but Bella couldn't help but hear Alice tell Rosalie off for throwing the ball so hard at a human.

Which. Rosalie of course didn't believe and the fact it could have exposed them too. After the teacher set them homework, which was to work in pairs, Bella held her hand up in the air.

"Yes, Miss Swan?"

Bella cringed. Miss Swan, really? The teacher made her feel as old as she actually was.

"I don't have a partner to work with."

At this moment, Bella wished she just kept her mouth shut because a small arm to the right of her shot up in the air. "She can work with us!"

Looking to her right, Bella saw Alice jump and smile excitedly. Rosalie didn't look happy in the slightest.

The teacher, Mrs Chow, was very happy for Bella to work with someone as talented as Alice and Rosalie.

"So, Miss Swan, should I get your number so you can come to our house and we can all work on it together?" Alice said, a bright smile across her face.

Her voice was slightly teasing. Doing her best to not act weird, Bella nodded her head, took a pen and wrote down her number along with her name: Bella.

Alice took it, giggling, before nudging Rosalie. "Her heart is beating really fast and I think it has something to do with you."

Looking away, Bella smothered her smirk. Alice saying this to Rosalie was rather funny, especially when they didn't know she could hear them.

With Bella's throat burning to the point she wanted to kill everyone in the class, she started to count down the seconds left until the bell.

When it finally rang, she sighed out in relief. Suddenly, a cold hand was on her shoulder. "I'll give you a call later, Bella. Ok?" Alice said, smiling.

Did she ever stop grinning? "Yeah, sure thing, Alice."

Alice nodded her head and looked at Rosalie again. The blonde looked angry, her scowl tight on her face and her glare encouraged Bella to move on.

She headed straight to the front office, handed over her pink slip to Jessica's aunt, who said thanks and asked how her day had gone.

Once Bella was done talking to the receptionist, she had to hunt desperately and she knew it. But she could still smell Alice and Rosalie outside the building.

Were the other vampires gone? Bella had only one way out and knew it would be the backdoor to the school. Sneaking out, Bella made sure to change her scent to the forest and appearance to the vampire her true self.

She didn't want Alice or Rosalie to know she was sneaking out. With the forest covering this little town and right next to the school, Bella made her way into it.

The sky was darkening quickly and rain was surly going to fall. Once Bella was deep enough, she sniffed about and could smell blood.

Following the blood, her throat burning even more, she heard cries and pleas, then a scent hit her: sickly sweet and decay.

Someone else was here now. On her guard, Bella stopped at a man pleading for his life. Another vampire was there, standing over him, snarling.

The vampire eyes tore away from the human and to Bella, red eyes blazing. The vampire was cloaked as if from century's previous to this one.

The vampire pushed the human down to the ground who hit his head against a tree. Blood started oozing out of his head and soaked the mud.

Bella felt her eyes blacken. She looked to the vampire, snarling. "Who are you?" Her voice echoed loudly through out the forest.

The vampire took a step back. "I have come to kill you, Isabella."

Standing tall, Bella cocked her head to the side. "Have you now? How did you know I was here? Who are you working for?" She growled.

A faint chuckle came from the vampire. "You're not the quietest vampire around, and who I work for doesn't matter. Now, enough talking!"

The vampire launched himself at Bella but being an original meant she was trained by now. Moving to the left, Bella caught the man by his throat.

Her thirst now unbearable. She squeezed the vampires throat and was pleased when she heard small cracks. "I will ask again, who do you work for?"

He wheezed out, "f-fuck y-you."

Bella smirked. "Noted."

There was a loud crunch as Bella snapped his neck off. A moan on the floor startled Bella before her eyes snapped to the bleeding man.

She threw herself at him, teeth sinking into the skin. She drained him and sighed. Bella didn't have long before scents invaded her senses.

Bella stood up, ready for another fight. Two female vampires appeared out of no where. Bella smirked to herself. She recognised them: Jessica said their names were Kate and Tanya.

Tanya stopped beside Kate and both looked at the dead man then the dead vampire and then to Bella; they didn't look too happy.

"This must be the vampire that has been making life difficult for our cousins," Tanya said to Kate, who nodded her head in agreement.

"I agree. You see, normally, we would let vampires like you go if your were just passing through. But well, you have been here for a while now and you're killing innocent humans. So you'll just have to die. I'm sure you understand?"

Bella smirked. "I wont be dying today."

Both Kate and Tanya nodded their heads before running at Bella. Just with their speed, Bella could tell they were old and by the movements of their fighting.

Bella was faster and older, and managed to get the upper hand. Bella swung her arm and collided with Kate, sending her into a tree.

Bella ducked under Tanya, who was throwing everything she had at Bella in a fist. Bella grabbed her arm, hit her in the face then snapped it, before kicking Tanya down beside Kate who had yet to get up.

Bella noticed that her face was cracked heavily. What the fuck? I though vampires were meant heal quickly?

Shaking her head, Bella ran through the forest, back towards school and her truck. She made sure to change back to her human self before exiting the woods.

Bella noticed she was right next to the car park and saw her truck and someone leaning against it. It was Rosalie and the blonde had a rather smug grin across her face.

Walking over to her truck, Bella raised an eyebrow at Rosalie and forced herself to calm down.

"So, you were in school, but you came out of the woods. Kind of weird isn't it?"

Bella now feeling nervous knew she had to play it cool. "Yeah, I thought I saw my cat so I chased it into the woods," she lied easily.

Bella knew that Rosalie knew she didn't have a cat but what else was she supposed to say. "Really? And I'm guessing it wasn't your cat?"

Shaking her head, Bella tried to unlock her truck, only Rosalie wasn't letting her. "Cant I go home?"

This time, Rosalie's eyes darkened and she shook her head. "After
attacking my cousins? Not a chance."

Bella felt numb and Rosalie could tell she was shocked. "I don't know what you're on about," Bella said, still trying to get into her car.

Rosalie put her hand on Bella and tingles moved across her body.

Bella looked up into Rosalie's dark eyes and saw that her smile smug. "So you didn't attack my cousins?"

"No."

"You didn't kill anyone?"

Bella pretended to gasp. "No!"

"You're not a vampire?"

Bella widened her eyes. "Are you crazy?! No!"

"You're sure? Last chance."

Bella shoved into Rosalie and fought to get into her truck. "You need help. Leave me alone!"

"Sure?"

"Sure!" Bella shouted, exasperated and struggling.

Suddenly, Rosalie seized her arms and grinned. "Why's there blood on your shirt then?"

Bella winced. "Fuck."

Rosalie's eyes shined with triumph. "Fuck indeed."
