Chapter 9

BELLA'S POV

I decided to owl Tonks. I really miss her. Plus, she's the only one who really knows what happened in Forks.

Dear Tonks, I began writing.

I'm sorry for not being around much. A lot of things have come up lately.

Remember that vampire who attacked me when I was 14? Well it seems like his mate is after me. Don't worry though; I can take care of myself.

Do you think I'll be able to see Edward again? I really miss him.

When did life become so complicated again Tonks?

Please help me. You're the only one who understands. Not even Hermione knows.

Love,

Bella

I tied it to Hedwig's foot and she flew off. What else could I possibly do today? I can't exactly go outside.

"Morning Lily." Uncle Remus said coming into the room.

"Morning Uncle Remus." I replied.

"About the other night…" I sighed. Ever since that night Uncle Remus has been trying to get me to tell him what's wrong.

I want to tell him so badly but he'd be furious, so it's better that I don't tell him.

"It's nothing Uncle Remus. Seriously, Hermione and I were just watching Gossip Girl and Hermione saw Chuck Bass." I said.

"Alright…" I knew it wouldn't be the end of this conversation though.

Just then Hermione came running down the stairs.

"Bella! Glee is showing tonight," Hermione exclaimed "We don't have a television though." And I frowned.

Glee was one of my favorite muggle shows. Though muggles didn't have muggles, they were very creative.

"That's too bad. What do you suppose we should do?" I asked.

"Well you could conjure a television." Hermione suggested.

Oh right, I'm allowed to use magic.

"Ok! Let's watch it tonight then." I said and Hermione nodded excitedly.

Uncle Remus cleared his throat "What exactly is Glee? Happiness?" Hermione and I gaped at him.

"What?" he asked.

"It's only one of the most famous muggle shows ever!" I exclaimed.

"I'm not muggle Bella."

"Oh right."

-TIME PASSES BY-

It was afternoon now and I was reading my potions book.

We played Quidditch at the backyard this morning. Sirius, Harry and Ron vs. Me, Remus and Fred. I played seeker, Remus played chaser and Fred played beater and Harry played seeker, Sirius played beater and Ron played Chaser. We all decided that the chasers should also take the position of Keepers.

Although our team was good we lost to Harry's team. It was fun though.

My phone vibrated signaling I had a text.

Bella? Where are you?

Alice sent that message. It hurt me so much that I was abandoning them but I couldn't tell them I was a witch! They'd think I was a freak!

I can't tell you.

I sent the message and turned off my phone.

I can't be sad now. I will never cry in front of Harry, Sirius, Remus or…anyone. Sure, I'd cry in front of Hermione and Ginny but they're girls. There's a HUGE difference.

As I was reading, Harry and Ron were playing Exploding Snap, Hermione was reading Hogwarts a History and Ginny was reading Witch Weekly.

Harry looked up from his game and snorted. He muttered 'girls' causing me to throw a pillow at him. He glared at me and I just smirked.

"All you girls read too much!" Ron said.

"All you guys read too little." I said.

Suddenly Dumbledore burst into the house causing us to look at him.

"Where's the Order?" Dumbledore asked.

"Sirius and Remus are upstairs, the rest aren't exactly here."

"I think I forgot to call a meeting." He said rubbing his chin.

"Don't worry Sir, I'll tell Uncle Remus to call the Order." I said.

"I see you're in good terms with him now." He said and I nodded.

I climbed up the stairs over to where Uncle Remus' room was. I knocked lightly on the door and opened it.

Uncle Remus was reading a book. He looked up from it when I came in.

"Anything wrong Bella?" he asked concerned.

"No, Dumbledore just wanted you to tell the Order to come for a meeting." I said.

"What's the meeting about?" he asked and I shrugged.

"I dunno." I said. I went back downstairs to ask Dumbledore what this meeting was about.

"It has come to my attention that there are 9 vampires around London." He said and I gasped.

Nine? That must mean the Cullens, Laurent and Victoria!

"Are we safe Sir?" I asked so he thought I gasped because I was afraid.

"Of course Bella. But if ever you come face to face with a vampire, remember this: most spells cannot hurt a vampire. You will have to use more powerful ones." He said and left for the kitchen.

Sometimes Dumbledore's random like that. Many Order members flooed in and went to the kitchen as well.

"What's the meeting about?" Ron asked.

"Dumbledore says there are vampires around." I said calmly. Hermione gasped, Harry and Ron had worried expressions and Ginny's eyes went wide.

"V-vampires?" Ron said shakily.

"Don't worry Ron; as long as we stay in Grimmauld Place I'm sure they wouldn't be able to find us." I said.

They still looked worried but went back to what they were doing. I joined Harry and Ron because I was already finished with my book.

Mrs. Weasley and Uncle Remus came out both looking very worried.

If only I could tell them that majority of the vampires were good. If only I could get them to stop worrying so much.

But they would ask questions. Questions I couldn't answer without revealing too much.

Suddenly, things just got worse.

I hate life sometimes.
