Chapter 7
Next morning, Bella rose from her tossing and turning all night too worried about the new guests arriving tonight. She had a quick shower and got dressed and headed down stairs.
Stefan, Angel, Darla, Dawn, Spike, Connor and Andrew were already at the table.
"Hey you…sleep well?" asked Angel.
"No not really" she replied sitting down and picking up some toast.
"Why not?"
"Just worried about the new arrivals tonight"
"No need to worry, Rebekah is alright once you get to know her…though she does have a temper which she gets from her father other than that you should be fine" Angel replied drinking something from a mug.
"What's that you are drinking?" she asked curiously.
"People blood swiped from the blood bank at the hospital. I have enough to last several days. Let's just say I have contacts who hooked me up"
"Oh wont people notice there missing?"
"No" he replied. 'Hopefully' he thought to himself. "So will you tell me about the Cullen's whom I have heard a great deal about?" he asked politely.
"Yes" she replied "maybe after school"
"Sure thing…I look forward to it" he replied heading out of the room. With Andrew following him ready for a day's work.
He left Bella wondering who had told him about the Cullen's and was looking forward to telling him her story she thought as they went their separate ways.
"Who's this Edward I have heard so much about?" asked Stefan while they were waiting with the others.
"I used to date him before he left town" she replied.
"What was he like?"
"A bit like you apart from looks you have somethings in common"
"Oh like what?"
"Well he kept himself to himself, was quiet, kind and caring and was mature for his age at the age of seventeen" she replied nearly laughing at the joke stopping herself. "You remind me of him"
"That's a good thing I hope" he said as the bell went for their first lesson of the day.
For the rest of the day passed slowly for Bella and she wasn't sure how the other's felt but she was nervous of meeting an Original.
After school Stefan drove home and went to get some blood from the stash and Dawn was about to take over from Andrew when two men entered the house.
They were both six feet tall one with short dark hair and the other light brown short hair. Give us the baby one of them snarled fists clenched stepping forward.
Coming out of his office hearing the commotion Angel asked "what they wanted?"
"We want the baby we know she is here"
Bella stood rather nervously beside Dawn while Andrew stood behind the desk.
Well I am afraid your early they are not hear and if they were here I wouldn't give you them" Angel replied going closer he grabbed the brown haired one and threw him against the wall he narrowly missed the seats at the other side.
"HEY" Shouted his friend obviously a vampire with their brown eyes.
The dark haired one started coming closer to Bella and Dawn while Angel was busy with the other.
He stood inches from them when he suddenly started making choking sounds and fell to the floor in a heap revealing a tall blonde woman with her arm covered in blood holding a lump of something also covered in blood.
"Hello I am Rebekah…seems I got here in time"
