I heard a high pitched screech. I spun round startled and saw several things simultaneously. Nothing was moving slow motion like they did in movies, that doesn't happen in truly dangerous situations, you'd know if you'd lived with my sister. The adrenaline rush can do strange things, it can make you freeze which is my classical reaction or – and this happens more to Anastasia than to me – it can make your brain work much faster, absorbing every detail, this was one of those times.
The first thing I saw was Edward Cullen he was standing four cars down from me, staring at me in horror. He stood out from the sea of faces, all frozen in the same mask of shock.
The second was the dark blue van skidding, tires locked and squealing against the brakes, spinning wildly across the ice of the parking lot. It was going to hit the back corner of my truck, and I was standing between them. I didn't even have time to close my eyes.
Then two things happened at once. When I look back I should have known one was going to happen but the other was totally unexpected.
"Tora!" said a voice from behind me
The van stopped about three feet away as if it had hit an invisible wall. I didn't have time to take a sigh of relief for at that same time something hit me, hard. My head cracked against the icy blacktop, I felt something solid and cold pinning me to the ground.
I was lying next to the car I'd been parked to, I looked up and with a thrill of fear saw Edward Cullen leaning over me.
"Hey!" shouted Anastasia and Edward was thrown off me by an invisible shockwave landing in a heap five feet in the opposite direction.
It was absolutely silent before the screaming began. In abrupt bedlam, I could hear more than one person shouting my name. But more clearly than all the yelling, I could my sister's frantic voice in my ear.
"Bella? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine" My voice sounded strange. I sat up and we both stared at Edward Cullen who was sitting up looking very confused.
"C'mon" she said pulling me up standing between me and Edward protectively.
My head hurt the second I got up, a throbbing ache above my left ear and I gripped my sister's shoulder. I looked at Edward who was on his feet staring at both of us and the car his amber eyes full of questions.
"Thanks" I said to Anastasia under my breath
"No problem" she replied not taking her eyes off Edward
Zarbien was standing between them back arched no doubt fighting not to become a lion.
There were people everywhere, shouting at us, my head was spinning.
"Don't move" someone ordered
"Get Tyler out of the van!" someone else yelled
There was a flurry of activity as Anastasia pulled me far as was possible from Edward
Then I heard sirens. It took six ETMs and two teachers – Mr. Varner and Coach Clapp – to shift the van far away for them to bring stretchers. Anastasia refused to get on one, and I tried to do the same, but the traitor told them I'd hit my head and probably had a concussion. I glared at her when they weren't looking and she gave me a smile obviously pleased we were getting out of school. I almost died of humiliation when they put on a neck brace in front of the whole school and my sister who looked like she was trying not to laugh at the brace.
Then things got worse as Charlie appeared "Bella!" he yelled in panic when he recognised me on the stretcher
"I'm fine Char – Dad" I sighed but he was thoroughly fretful making a right performance.
"I'm fine too by the way" said Anastasia coldly
Only once we were in the ambulance did we realise that Edward Cullen had gotten in the front. He must have slipped in while Anastasia was arguing with the ambulance man about Zarbien being allowed in the ambulance – she won this argument.
She did not look happy he was riding with us. I wasn't happy. Why had he jumped at me and pinned me to the floor? The obvious answer was to bite me but why do that in front of that many eye witnesses? The other answer was that he had been trying to save me but why would he do that either? It didn't make sense.
So I sat there glaring at my sister blaming her one hundred percent for this ridiculous trip and yet I always found it harder to be angry at her after she'd saved my life.

I have never liked hospitals, human hospitals anyway, supernatural ones can be quite interesting, similar to the one described in the Harry Potter books but real. Human hospitals generally contained a lot of ghosts, humans who'd never been told about the supernatural world couldn't see them of course but I could and they just made me depressed.
Regardless I was just glad to be out of that mind meltingly boring school. They took Bella and whoever the boy with the van was away to a room wearing those ridiculous neck braces. Bella's nut job father who probably wouldn't have even noticed if I'd been crushed went with them so I just went off to wander around the hospital. I turned the corners noticing people, dying people, ghosts and the usual hospital routines. Two ghosts walked straight through me and I shivered wondering how humans didn't notice the cold feeling. As I turned the corner I nearly walked into Scorpius.
"Hey" I said jumping back and took a breath "Ok Scorpius, I like your company but I'm a private person and don't like being followed, I would say sorry but I'm not and I've been seeing too much of you recently"
He nodded "That's Ok it's just been nice to finally meet a non-human, I bet at phoenix school there were lots. Imagine living at this school with no mystical life"
I thought about it and shuddered. Ok I could grant him that but I did not want to feel stalked, it was not a nice feeling and usually did not end well for the people stalking me.
"Alright but please I need space, alright?" I said getting the message through
"Yeah sure" he said
That was rude said Zarbien
It was not I thought back
No, not you his familiar, he just swore at me Zarbien said indignantly and I looked down to see Zarbien face to face with a small black scorpion. Strangely familiars could speak to each other and clearly mine wasn't getting along with Scorpius's. Suddenly his name made more sense.
"Hey Scorpius" called a voice from down the corridor "Have you got all the stuff for tonight?"
We both looked and I saw a boy with greasy ginger hair looking down towards us
"Yes, I just got it" Scorpius called back and the boy scampered off
I looked back at Scorpius "So much for no magical friends" I said scathingly the ginger boy wasn't completely human I could tell that much
"I said none at the school" he said
Nice cover up
"But if you think I came to the hospital to see you then you must think a lot of yourself because I came here with my friends to get blood supplies for a prank we're pulling at a party we're going to" he said showing me a packet of blood inside his bag
"Oh right" I said, I didn't feel embarrassed easily
"Hey would you wanna come? Could always use an extra pair of hands, plus it's a supernatural party they're always fun" he said
I raised an eyebrow "Providing you're not looking at this as any kind of date then sure I'm in"
Supernatural party should be good.
Author note: Scorpius is not like some kind of loser Mike type character he is a friend, at least for now
