Chapter 21

JPOV

My room was perfect. It had been the first to get redecorated when we moved in, so now the walls were my favourite shade of light blue, with a super soft, royal blue carpet. My huge double bed was against the wall furthest from the door, and from it I could see out the massive windows to the woodland that surrounded this place. It was gorgeous. But cold.

The Cullen's and Dawnafus didn't seem to notice the severe drop in temperature, although when I had asked Dawnafus about it she said she could feel it, but her new body was even colder than the ice and snow, so it felt almost warm in comparison to her.

With this thought, I dragged myself out of bed and walked over to my gigantic wardrobe. It was a necessity when you lived with Alice. I had never had so many new clothes. It was one of the things I would never complain about, even if she did have a problem when I wore something more than once.

I opened the doors and picked out a grey strappy top, a thick black jumper and some dark, skinny jeans. Once I was dressed I made my way out of my room, and went straight into Dawnafus's room. She always knew I was coming, I didn't know if it was our "feelings" thing or her super hearing. With a quick hello I went and sat on the stool in front of her vanity mirror.

"So how shall we have it today then sis?" she asked.

"Umm...up to you. Be creative, but not too much. I do have to go out in public." I warned her.

With a little giggle she got to work, and within a couple of minutes she was done. It was harder for us to bond like we used to since she changed. I had changed too. But we tried to keep up the almost normal sisterly duties, like doing each other's hair and gossiping about everything. I told her about school, and she told me what her, Rosalie and Emmett had been up to.

Dawnafus was still too new to her vampire life to get too close with humans, so she stayed at home, reading books in Carlisle's new study instead. As our ESP power meant that we shared some strong emotions, I knew that it would be very hard on her if I decided to start dating again. It also felt wrong to even look at boys when I was with Nessie, so the whole condition was kind of moot.

I finished off my make-up and stood back to see how I looked. Dawnafus had put my hair in a half up plait, and curled the pieces left down. It was actually quite pretty.

"thanks sis" I said giving her a quick hug. Although I had been used to her cold hands when she was human, she was much colder now, and I always got a bit of a chill from her. Just something else I had to get used to.

"that's OK. Have fun at school" she replied, before sitting back on her bed and reading more of her books. I was glad she still loved to read, she would probably be bored stupid otherwise.

I went down the hall and, seeing Nessie's room was empty, carried on down to the kitchen. Esme had just served up some pancakes for her, and had my usual bowl of cereal ready for me. I smiled as I saw that Ness was wearing all black too, in the form of a blouse tucked into a black high-waisted skirt. She had definitely been 'Aliced'.

Our new school was much larger than the one in Forks, so it was much easier to go by almost unnoticed. Easy for me that is. Alice and Jasper still managed to get looks, but they were so perfectly beautiful it would be odd for people not to look.

Nessie also got a lot of looks from the guys, but she either never noticed, or didn't care. I tried my best to be polite to people when they asked about my accent or more often, when they asked whether Ness was single, but I couldn't help snapping or being overly sarcastic sometimes. People must have thought I was some sort of weird Gothic bitch, but I couldn't really care. I had lost my mother, father and the human side of my sister all in one year. I had a right to be bitchy. And Gothic I had always considered myself a little weird, it came with being a twin.

The school day passed by in much the same way as every other day. Soon enough we were going home. On the journey home, Nessie had started teaching me to drive. Alice and Jasper sat in the back, Jasper keeping me calm and Alice looking out for accidents. I was getting much more confident now though, and we made it home within half an hour.

DPOV

I was getting used to my new surroundings. It had been a few weeks since we had left Forks behind. I say surroundings, truthfully I only really got to see the woodland that encircled our new house when I went hunting, usually with Rosalie and Emmett.

It was finally Friday and Josephine and Nessie were at school with Alice and Jasper. I wasn't able to go as I was still unable to control myself around that many humans. Thank god I liked to read and Carlisle had lots of books to keep me entertained. If I wasn't reading I could normally be found in the garage with Rosalie who was teaching me how to fix up cars. I had really grown close to her, I think she was someone who was misunderstood by a lot of people. She wasn't a bitch at all, she was a really nice person once you got to know her.

I rarely spoke to Nessie any more due to my guilt at being the reason she was so upset at the moment. She didn't talk to me much either and I think that it was because she blamed me for her having to leave Jake. Her and Josephine had really bonded over their sadness at leaving a loved one behind in Forks.

"Dawnafus, can you pass me that wrench?" Rosalie asked, bringing me back to the present.

"Here you go" I said, passing it down to her, she slid back underneath her car, where she was making some more improvements. She was a bit pissed that her car wasn't the fastest and was trying to fix that.

"Hey babe" Emmett said as he walked in. Rosalie slid out from underneath the car and stood up giving her husband a quick snog before going back to work. "How's my favourite sister?" he asked, walking over to where I was standing. Even though he had been referring to me as his sister for the last three weeks or so I still couldn't get used to it.

"I'm OK. Hey, can I take my baby out for a drive later on?" I asked the pair of them.

Rosalie was the first to reply "You know the rules Dawnafus, if you want to leave the house one of us needs to be with you"

"Yeah, don't want you eating the nice humans now do we" Emmett guffawed.

"Shut up" I said, slapping his arm.

"Ow! I wish you would hurry up and realise your strength already" he said, rubbing his arm. It was a fact that Emmett liked to be the strongest one around, and my Newborn strength made him second best at the moment.

"You bring it on yourself babe" Rosalie chuckled.

"Exactly. Thanks Rose" I said.

"You're welcome" she smiled as she began packing away her tools.
We all made our way into the house, going through the door that brought us into the kitchen where we were greeted by an angry looking Alice.

"Dawnafus, what's that all over your brand new, white shirt?" she asked, pointing at me.

I looked down to discover a black streaks of oil smeared across my front "Whoops" I chuckled, Alice was not seeing the funny side though.

"Didn't we talk about this earlier on today? Did you listen to anything I told you?" She was referring to my early morning hunting trip where I came back with blood, down the front of my dress.

"Alice, it's just clothes. I'll watch it and the top will be as good as new"

"Just clothes" she steamed, practically hyperventilating.

"how come you're back already anyway? I can still feel Josephine's nerves so I take it she's still driving?" I asked glad to change the subject. The look of fury in Alice's eyes wavered for a moment before changing to concern.

"well... I was stood by the car waiting for them after school when I lost my vision.." she tried to explain.

Edward and Bella walked in at that moment, obviously having been listening in and becoming curious.

"how do you mean 'lost'? I asked, confused.

"well I normally cant see Nessie's future, but when I looked to see what might be happening at home it all went as fuzzy as it would if she had been here. But when I tried to see Josephine future at the same time it was fuzzy too." I looked around. Everyone was looking as confused as me, except Edward. He could probably understand exactly what she was saying since he could see what she meant in her thoughts. "basically, I think Josephine is still out driving, when someone will be turning up here that can also block my 'sight'." she finished.

All of us stood there in shock, our super fast minds gathering exactly what she meant straight away. Someone was coming, that Alice couldn't see. And by the look on everyone's faces; panic on Bella, worry on Edward and disgust on Rosalie, I could tell they had guessed the same person as me.

A/N hmm...Who could that be?
