a-i-s: Hey guys! This chapter I got a surprise for ya'all. Remember how Alice saw another vampire coming?

Nick: I remember, nothing bad will happen will it? Is April going to be safe? What if the other vampire turns out to be like James!

a-i-s: Ahh! Calm down. I can't give anything away but the surprise is that parts of the chapter will be 'SPOV' that means it's the new vamp, OK? Good, read on, laters.

PS: I do not own any of the twilight series, or anything from any shows you might recognise etc.

Chapter ten: You're a what?

SPOV

I have finally reached the dreary town of Forks, Washington. Why have I come here? Good question. I am a four hundred plus year old vampire. I look the usual way, pale skin amazing beauty, blah blah blah.

My hair is straight and a sort of blue/black colour, but unlike the usual, my eyes are gold –on a good day- because I am not a blood-sucking creature of your nightmares, well not human blood at least.

I have no clue who my 'creator' is, but I know that the note they left me made me the person I am now.

And that is an outgoing, adventure seeking 'vegetarian' of sorts. Back to the reason I came to this overgrown swampland.

About a decade ago I heard the story of the Cullen's when I met a coven that had been called to be witnesses during the event, it made me curious so –naturally- I decided to see if I could find them.

I have been told that the gathering that occurred on that day around fifty years ago was the most gifted vampires in one place like, ever.

I myself am not 'gifted' as in have powers, but I have been around for a while; I have acquired a lot of skills.

But I set off from my home and here I am. I haven't got a clue what I will do if I find them, but that's what makes life exciting.

"Miss, can I help you?" I look up to see a young man standing by the window to my car.

"Yeah, actually I am looking for the local high school. I am going to be living with an Aunt and she told me I should enrol"

Well that was a lie. But I do need to enrol, it may be part way through the semester but I want to explore and since –biologically- I am about seventeen I might as well scope out the high school and see if I can find the Cullen's there.

"Oh, well you just have to keep driving…" he gives me some very helpful directions and after thanking him I head in the direction he pointed out.

"Thanks" I yell back out the window.

The man is right, the sign on the side of the highway gives the school away easily. I walk to the office following signs,

"Hello, can I help you?" Oh good, there is someone here,

'Yes, is it possible for me to enrol for this school and start Monday?" the woman seems to be thinking, considering even.

"I would be able to pay all fees etc, so do you think it would be possible?"

"By this Monday?" she looks like this is going to be bad news,

"Well preferably, but as soon as possible I guess" Her face relaxes

"Sorry but since Monday is tomorrow, the soonest we can have you start is next Monday" I thank her and she helps me fill out the appropriate paperwork,

"Thanks for your help I guess I'll…see you next Monday." She nods her head.

So I have a week, what am I supposed to do?

APOV

It has been a week since I met Nick's family. Nick and I are getting really close, without actually getting very close.

Since last weekend Nick And all the Cullen's have all been making sure that they don't touch my skin, even Nick.

This is making me feel a lot of things but…I feel like I am done falling, I have hit the bottom and because of recent events the bottom is hard and confusing.

I have talked to my mother about it and she says I should be careful, high school is a minefield and bad things can happen. My mum always helps me; she was ecstatic when Nick and I became official.

Also I heard that another new person is going to start today, a smart student and I have been wondering why someone would start this late in the semester.

After sitting in physics a 'safe' distance from Nick, I am feeling a bit sad and confused.

"I'll see you later" since he won't let me touch him, I blow a kiss (cheesy as it may be) and Nick smiles and my heart jumps. I suddenly wonder if this is what it feels like to be in love.

"Hello, my name is Sandra but you can Sandy. What's your name?" I look up from the small amount of work the teacher set. I am in biology and it turns out the new girl is sitting next to me.

"I'm April, nice to meet you Sandy. How are you liking Forks?" For some reason I find this new girl easy to talk to.

"Forks is fine, very gloomy though" and wet, which is one of the reasons I am careful to be covered up when I am outside.

The teacher signals the end of class.

"It was nice to meet you," I say as I walk out the door,

"Yes, see you later then." She reminds me of someone, I wonder. Then I go of to Spanish.

SPOV

"It was nice to meet you," says April, I only just met her but I find her fascinating.

"Yes, see you later then." As soon as I smelt her I knew she wasn't human, I have been smelling humans for over four hundred years I should know.

High school is a bore; I only go because I have to if I want to stay in one place for a longer time.

Some of the drawbacks are that I make friends, and then I have to move before they get suspicious.

Even with those thoughts in my head I am curious enough to try make friend with April, and I still want to find the Cullen's.

Now it's time for lunch, I don't eat but I can pretend to.

I am walking to the line when I spot April; she has just joined the line so I go stand behind her.

"Hi April" she turns around, and I am surprised to see her smile when she sees it is me.

"Hey Sandy, how are your classes so far?" she is acting really nice; I can already tell this is going to be hard when I have to leave.

"They've been good I guess, do you think I could sit with you?" I don't want to sit alone and end up surrounded by arrogant guys trying to get a date.

"Sure" and she moves forward to get a tray of food.

NPOV

I am sitting at the table with my family, April still sits with her friends mostly because since last Sunday all of my family have been very careful not to touch April, or a least not have skin contact.

"Nick, the girl going up to April is the Vampire Alice saw." I nod. The new vampire is a 'vegetarian' like us, so April should be safe.

April and the new vampire start to walk towards her group.

"Nick! The bullies are planning something!" Edward hisses. Alice sighs (she still can't see April, and she still doesn't know why)

I get up and slowly walk towards April, who is about to pass the 'popular table'.

She is not really watching where she is going so she doesn't see the heeled foot that is stealthily placed right in her path.

"Ahh!" April lets out a scream of surprise as she starts to fall. I feel like I can't do anything because I am limited to human speed.

But April's new friend catches her by the arms before she lands on her tray of food. When April has been placed back on her feet I hear her say the new vampires name.

"Thank you so much Sandy, that could have ended really badly." So her name is Sandy.

"Nick the bullies aren't done" Alice says. It is only loud enough for a vampire to hear, and Sandy hears.

"So April, have you decided to corrupt all the new kids we get? Or do they just take pity on you?" Sometimes I really want to do something about those girls, my family won't let me they say it's too dangerous.

"No actually, I think that April is much better than a bunch of media following Barbie's."

The 'leader' of the bully group, Tammy I think, seems surprised that anyone especially the new girl, is standing up to her.

"Oh and by the way, you do realise how primary school tripping someone up is, right?"

Wow, at least this vampire is on April's side. Sandy looks Tammy straight in the eye and laughs, then grabbing April's hand she walks swiftly to the group table where she is met with a round of compliments and high fives.

APOV

Turns out Sandy and me get along great. After she told the Barbie's off they left the group alone, but they still bullied other people.

In the next couple of weeks Nick and I get even closer emotionally (he still won't touch my skin) I see his family a couple more times but, Sandy and I have become closer friends than I thought we would.

It's the weekend and Sandy is spending the day at my house, we have started talking about relationships.

"So did you have a boyfriend where you moved from?" I have told Sandy all about Nick, and she has been very nice about it.

"No, I was single and I plan on staying that way for a while at least"

I have been wanting to ask Sandy something for a while but…I just don't know how. I decide to ease into it.

"So people probably tell you this a lot but you are very pretty." She smiles, I guess I was right.

"Thank you April. But you seem like you want to ask something."

That's one of the downsides of our friendship, she now knows me better than half the people at our table.

"Yeah well, don't take this the wrong way but…why do you look so much like the Cullen's?" I instantly regret asking because her face looks very surprised, yet almost angry and worried.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you"

"No I just…" she seems to be considering something very important, so I sit and wait patiently.

"April, if I tell you this you could potentially be in a lot of danger, and so could I."

I don't mind me being the one in danger but…I wouldn't want Sandy to get hurt. But she knows something about the Cullen's and maybe that something can tell me why they are afraid to touch me.

"Sandy you don't have to tell me if you don't want to," as I say this I am hoping she will decide to tell me.

"No, I think you deserve to know. But April, you can't tell anyone else, promise me!" Ah, keeping a secret. Well I have one what's another going to do?

"I promise, I won't tell anyone. So what is the reason you look so much like the Cullen's? Your not related are you?" I can't help it, this could answer so many questions.

"April calm down! Before I tell you this you need to know something, I would not hurt you; you're an amazing friend and I am still the same person" This is going to be big, I can tell.

"Sandy, you're starting to scare me. Do you all have a disease of some kind?" For some reason this makes her laugh.

"April I don't have a disease and neither do the Cullen's. Don't freak out but…" she leans in to whisper in my ear,

"We're vampires" this shocks me, my boyfriend is a vampire, his family are vampires and…

"You're a…vampire?" I don't think my mind has registered this yet.

"April please don't pass out, say something." I decide to tell her exactly what I am feeling.

"Honestly I don't think I will pass out, but I must admit…I'm a bit freaked" At Sandy, but Nick.

We've been dating for over a month and he kept this huge thing from me. Then I remember, I have a hidden secret too.

Now I am just so confused.

"Do you want me to leave April? So you can have some time to think about this?"

"No! I mean, please don't leave. I actually think I can get over this"

Sandy and I spend a few minutes in silence, her waiting and me trying to settle my thoughts.

"Why don't we…" I look around trying to find something to do, "…um, what would you like to do?" I am stumped.

"It's getting late, I should go. And April, please don't over think this I still would like us to be friends."

"So would I, and I really appreciate you telling me." I am relieved that this hasn't affected our friendship -much-

"Okay, well I will see you Monday"

"Bye" I wave as she walks out the door.

My boyfriend is a vampire!

I decide that I will find a way to ask him, and if he tells me the truth then…then I will return the favour. Yep, that's what I am going to do; I just have to figure out how.

************************************************************************************************************************************

a-i-s: soooo…April found out, and Sandy is a really cool friend. You should all review and tell me what you are thinking.

April: yeah review, and make comments and feel free to make suggestions, but please don't get mad if suggestions aren't used.

a-i-s: yes, feel free to make suggestions but keep in mind that I already have a general plot line. It does change but yeah. Oh and Nick is not here because well.

Sandy: I am, sup. Review and we will catch ya next time.

a-i-s: laters!
