ARISSA'S POV

I couldn't believe that the food here was so good! There was a lot more options, first of all, and second, a lot more carnivores. It had nothing on Russia, but given the circumstances, it was pretty good.

"I totally caught the bigger moose." Mia claimed. I didn't even get how she liked moose. They were dirty, and they were filthy. I think she just liked them because they were bigger than her.

"Yeah, okay. I caught a friggin' buck. How did you even find the moose?" We didn't go very far, mostly for the reason that we had school tomorrow morning. Nobody wanted to go to a high school with over 300 hormonal students without hunting first. It would be hard enough with minimum burning.

"I'm just that awesome." She smirked. I tackled her, naturally. She managed to get me on the ground before I could even get a good grip on her. Damn vampire training.

"Nice try sis, but you don't mess with the best."

"And you're the best?" I challenged.

"Well, you certainly aren't." I just rolled her eyes. I loved Mia to death, but she could be too egotistical for her own good sometimes.

When we got back to the house, we changed into cleaner clothes and grabbed our newly packed backpacks.

"Where did these come from?" Mia asked. Mary and Layla had been with us the whole time, or so we thought.

"Layla left about fifteen minutes early so she could pack everything up. That's why we were late, we had to stop to get supplies." Mary said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Well, it wasn't Mary, so stop being a smart ass. No one appreciates it.

We arrived at the school a little sooner than expected. We wanted to be fashionably late, but we weren't. We were earlier than most of the students.

"Masen sisters?" We kind of did look like sisters if you thought about it. Mary and I were sisters, so that was an easy enough comparison, and we all shared the same shade of hair with somebody. Layla had darker hair than anyone else, and Mia had the lightest hair, but unless you really payed attention, you wouldn't notice, especially since for this exact reason Mary went a few shades darker and I went a few shades lighter. Mia went a little darker too. It was all about image. So much for challenging society.

"Oh, yes. I have your schedules here somewhere..." The secretary was a mess. She was old and shouldn't be working anymore. She had scattered papers everywhere and she was scrambling around trying to find the pile that belonged to us. She finally found them and handed them to Layla. She passed them around, and we all looked at them. "And here's a map. If you want I can call a student down to help show you around once the bell rings, if not, any of the teachers will tell you how to get to your next class. It's a small school, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just get your teachers to sign this pass when you get to class, and bring it back here at the end of the day. You'll only have to do this today so we know where you are. Any questions?"

Only ten-thousand, and yet none of them relevant.

"Nope." I answered. We would be fine figuring this out on our own. It shouldn't be too hard. Then again, this is high school. Anything can happen.

That was probably the longest day of my life. Now I remembered why I hated high school so much the last time I had to go back in 1945. It was boring as shit. The only good thing about it was that I've already gotten kicked out of class twice for talking because Mia kept poking me for amusement then blaming the "chatter" on me. Bitch.

"I can't believe you already have a record here, Arissa. You better be able to graduate next year."

"Yeah yeah, take a chill pill Mary. If it wasn't for Meems I wouldn't have gotten in trouble in the first place." I glared at her.

"Maybe you should switch classes, then."

"No! School is boring enough with her. Never mind without her." I rushed to say. I wouldn't be able to make it without her.

"Then you better graduate." Mary said shrugging as she got into her car. Our little genius Layla had gotten us an address to the Cullen's house at school today. Apparently they had been pretty popular when they went to school here. There were seven of them, and the one named Edward had been dating a girl named Bella Swan. I was trying not to get my hopes up on finding Eddie, but I couldn't help myself. I was pumped. So was Mary, but she would never admit it. She was too uptight.

"Where's the turnoff dammit!" Mia screamed as we drove past it again.

"Maybe if you slowed down, you wouldn't miss it," I shrugged from the backseat, "And you all say I'm the bad driver." No one even acknowledged my comment even though I could see the virtual eye rolling.

"On your left!" Layla yelled to Mia as we took a sharp turn into another road. I almost squished the little midget.

"Whoa, calm your hormones, Meems." I told her as I kicked her seat.

"Keeping you loosers awake back there. You looked bored." She smiled into the mirror, and if she wasn't driving, I would've smacked here right now.

A giant house came into the picture on our left. It was open, and it was beautiful. Much prettier than our house anyway, which didn't take a lot. The thing that surprised me the most was how open it was. The walls were made of mostly glass, and there was a large lawn that wrapped around the house that two guys were destroying.

"Who do you think that is?" I asked Mia.

"I don't know. Cummon. Let's go meet them." She got out of the car after she parked it in their driveway. We couldn't see any of their faces, but I was secretly hoping one of them was Edward. If he was like me, Mary would have a heart attack and maybe she'd give up and leave.

We walked up to the front door, having a feeling that if the boys hadn't come over to us already, they were ignoring us. Mary rang the doorbell and a woman who looked like she was in her mid-thirties opened it. She was wearing an apron and one of those dresses that housewives wore on T.V.

"Can I help you ladies?" She asked us. What were we supposed to say? Hi, I know you don't know us, but we know Dr. Cullen and we think he has our brother with him? Yeah, that's gonna work so well.

"Esme, I can take it from here. They're here for me." A familiar but distant voice said. Then, his face came into view. It was him. It was Edward.

"Hello Arissa, Mary. Would you like to come in? Amelia and Layla may come in as well." He asked us. How did he know we were here? How did he know it was us?

"Who's there, Edward?" A voice came from the living room, along with some heartbeats. Bella? I thought, but it couldn't be Bella. The heart is going way to fast to be a human's heart. That's impossible.

"It's not impossible, Ari, just highly unlikely. Please, come in and I will explain everything. I have a few questions for you four myself."

We went in, I went first and Mia took up the back. I trusted my brother, but there were other vampires here that I had never met before, and Mia's tension wasn't very comforting either.

"No one here will hurt you, Ari. They're my family. The woman at the door, that was Esme, our 'mother' for obvious reasons, and this" he said pointing to another woman on the floor holding a baby, "is my wife Bella and our daughter Renesmee. That's who's heart you heard. She's half human half vampire." What the hell?
