Part 3

Rosalie pulled her car into the school parking lot just behind Edward's Volvo.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" She asked Alice as the pair got out and waited for the others.

Alice knew Rosalie was just concerned for her safety but she really wished her friend had more faith in her ability to see danger. "I've already told you it's going to storm this weekend and we are all playing baseball so nothing bad happens to any of us until after that at least!" She says with a grin as Emmett wandered over and slung his arms around Rosalie's shoulders.

"See babe, it's gonna be fine." Emmett said pulling his wife closer in an attempt to reassure her.

Rosalie tried her best to smile but with the threat of the wolves from La Push and the possibility of other vampires in the area, she just didn't want to risk Alice by splitting up the family just to attend high school. It wasn't worth it.

She'd agreed with Edward, she would rather they left Forks to the safety of the Alaska again if it meant keeping Alice out of harms way.

"Come on before we're late!" Bree said pulling Alice with her as she started for the main building.

Jasper gave a scowling Rosalie a shrug as they all started after the pair. Edward hanging further back as he sulked that no one was taking him seriously enough.

"She does have a point."

Rosalie narrowed her eyes at Jasper only to have him smile back at her and send a wave of euphoria along with it. "Hey, stop that!" She growled at him as soon as it wore off only to watch him jog slowly after his mate and Alice into the school.

Emmett watched his brother go with a shake of his head. "He's so weird now." He commented as he and Rosalie stopped walking.

Edward snorted as he walked past the pair. "Like you weren't just as bad with each other."

"Hey now!" Emmett protested with a frown, but Edward just walked away shaking his head. Emmett looked at his wife. "We weren't were we?" He asked.

Rosalie shrugged. She knew how angry she'd been from the moment she'd woke after her change, how taking her revenge had consumed her, and that even afterwards all she thought about were different ways she could have killed Royce and his friends.

She'd been like that for years until she'd come across Emmett.

"Maybe?" She offered with just the hint of a grin. Emmett had been lucky, just as Esme had, to find their mates so quickly after becoming vampires. They'd never had to experience what it was like to feel like part of you was missing and that you could live an eternity and never come close to finding it.

So maybe she could understand the joy that had entered Jasper's life now. He had changed from the vampire she had met with Alice. Just as she was sure he had changed just as much on having met Alice in the first place.

Jasper never went into much detail of his past or the true cost he had endured as part of the wars of the South, but Carlisle had known details of the death and destruction that had taken place and Edward had shared a few snippets from what he'd been able to see from Jasper's thoughts. None of it had been pretty.

So Rosalie was happy for him, and for Bree, who was still shy and nervous around the rest of the family, but the newborn had taken an instant liking to Alice, but then, everyone liked Alice so Rosalie couldn't fault Bree for succumbing to the human as well.

"I'm sure we'll get used to it." She added as they followed into the building.

Emmett grunted. He was happy for them, he was, he'd just had never seen Jasper so…peppy. It was a little unnerving considering he was a war general who'd killed more vampires than Emmett had ever seen.

"Ugh, I can't believe we're doing this again." Rosalie complained as they entered the school and were hit by the scent of humans.

Emmett grinned taking a deep breath just to annoy his wife. "I kinda like it, it's like fast food, all packed in to tiny little rooms waiting for us!" He said gleefully. "Yum, yum."

Rosalie elbowed him as they finally caught up with the rest of their family. "Knock it off."

Edward scowled at Emmett for his continued thoughts even as he handed the pair their timetables for the rest of the semester.

"I have Art first!" Alice exclaimed happily with a little twirl as the rest of them looked over their subjects and glanced at the maps they'd been given to find out where they were all supposed to be.

"Maths!" Rosalie grumbled and started walking away.

Alice smiled after her sister. "Bye, see you at lunch." She called out and while she didn't have the enhanced hearing the rest of her family did to hear her reply, when they all laughed she did to, because she was sure her sister had said something rude back. "I'm down this way." She said to the others.

"Me too!" Bree said her eyes lighting up at having her first class with her sister.

Bree, Alice and Edward had joined the year as juniors with the others the year above so it was unlikely that they would all have classes together. Carlisle thought it best this way, to keep from making it look too suspicious in such a small school.

"Later!" Emmett said and as a bell rang Edward and Jasper wandered off too.

Finally checking to find out where he should be Emmett saw that he had gym first class. "Sweet!"

Just as he took off he paused and glanced around, he wasn't sure but he could have sworn he'd smelt another vampire, but as he checked the air all he found was human traces. He shook his head and continued, blaming Edwards paranoia all weekend for it.

Bella tugged at her jacket as she wandered through the parking lot amongst the humans. The jacket had been a late addition as she realised turning up in just a tee given the dark clouds and high chance of rain would have made her stand out. She'd nicked it as she past the petrol station further up the road from the inside of a logging truck.

It was a nice worn brown leather and Bella quite liked it, it went with the jeans and boots she'd found yesterday when she'd braved shopping in Seattle. Not that she'd paid for anything.

"Can I help you?"

Bella scowled glancing around at all the humans walking and talking up and down the halls around her. She hated this. She hated them.

"Miss?"

Why was she even here?

"Miss, can I help you?"

Then she remembered with an eye roll. Oh yeah, Alice.

"Excuse me!" Came the exacerbated tone in front of Bella that almost had her growling in response.

"What?" Bella asked with a glare at the old human female behind the desk she was stood at.

The woman gave her a scathing look before asking, "Is there something you want young lady or do just have nothing to do with your time?"

Bella had to stop herself from snapping at the human and tried to smile. "I'm a new student." She said as she maintained eye contact with the human.

A few seconds later the woman repeated. "A new student."

Bella grinned and got to work. "Isabella Volturi." Again the woman repeated what Bella said. "New, today, Isabella Volturi, senior."

When the woman had repeated Bella word for word she finally broke eye contact and the human blinked rapidly before her face regained some life and she smiled at Bella.

"Oh yes, Miss Volturi, just a moment."

Bella rolled her eyes at how easy humans were to control, she'd already pulled this stunt to get the clothes she wore. It was a bit beneath her, and she never used it to lure humans to their deaths. Which was its intended use, but Bella didn't like to play with her food, her kills were quick and painless for the victims, at least they were when she wanted them to be.

Some people deserved a little pain with their death.

"Here you go dear!" The woman said cheerfully at Bella, handing over two sheets of paper. "Your first class is over in the second build, you should try and not get lost the bell's about to go."

Bella took the sheets and left without a word. She had what she needed. It wasn't until she'd gotten half way to where she was supposed to be going that she suddenly stopped as a thought struck her.

"I should have got the damn human's classes!" She muttered to herself just as someone knocked into her shoulder. She smiled as the well-built guy looked back at her with a frown as he gripped his side and apologised. "Yeah, bet the bruises." She muttered to herself happily as she gave him a full-on grin.

"Ha, maybe this won't be so bad." She said as she continued on, finally getting to the class she had down on the bit of paper, then she had to pull out her little dazzle trick again when the teacher mentioned he hadn't heard of any new student besides the Cullen kids.

By the time she made it to a seat and glanced around Bella was again rethinking her plan to pretend to be a student. There was only humans around her, loud, smelly, dirty, human teenagers.

"Eww." She said as a sweaty boy in the seat in front of her turned around to eye her.

"Kill me now." She muttered to herself as she looked to the ceiling in despair, ignoring the boy as he tried to start up a conversation with her.

"So, how are you liking school life so far kid?" Emmett asked as he and Rosalie sat down beside the rest of their family in the dining hall. He picked up an apple from his tray of useless food and started tossing it about.

Alice chuckled at him and swallowed her own food before answering. "Not too bad so far."

"I like it." Bree agreed, pushing her own food around on her plate.

Edward frowned at the pair only to see Jasper roll his eyes in his direction. He huffed then refocused on Alice. "Have you seen anything yet?" He questioned her.

Rosalie stabbed her fork down onto her plate causing a screeching noise. "Back off!" She growled at her brother.

Edward sat up straighter and glared at his sister. "You know what Carlisle said, we have to be looking for any sign of trouble."

"Alice has already said we are okay this weekend so leave her alone." Rosalie continued, hating how Edward pressured Alice into using her gift whenever he felt it was important.

"Carlisle said-"

"I don't give shit what he said, you shut up and leave Alice the fuck alone!" Rosalie snarled out as quietly as she could to prevent making a scene in front of the humans around them.

As the tension at their table grew they became aware that their names were starting to be mentioned at other tables as humans grouped together to eat.

"That's them over there." Someone said before continuing with, "Helen saw those two kissing, which should be illegal or something! Aren't they brother and sister?"

Emmett grinned at that knowing they were talking about him and Rosalie. "What?" He asked Edward as his brother shot him a glare.

"We haven't even been here a day, and already you two are starting with this?" He accused.

Rosalie shook her head, she didn't care what humans thought about her relationship with Emmett, if she wanted to kiss her husband she was going to. "Grow up Eddie."

Just as Edward was about to respond they caught another snippet from a different group.

"The small dark haired girl, Alice I think, totally weirded out in class." A female voice said with a giggle. "I'm telling you, the teacher called her name three times and nothing! The girl's a freak."

As Rosalie was about to comfort her sister they all paused as they heard a distinctive growl coming from further back in the hall. All of them except Alice turned in that direction and found a girl sitting by herself, glaring over at the table where the girl talking about Alice was.

"Is that-" Rosalie started slowly and very quietly only to be cut off by Alice grabbing at her arm. That drew all of their attentions away from the girl as they watched Alice caught up in a vision.

When Alice felt the vision fade she was confronted by Edward straight away.

"What do you mean 'that's the second one' Alice?"

Bella continued glaring at the little human that had dared to speak about her mate. The temptation of walking over there and pulling her head from her shoulders as the children seated around her screamed in terror was almost too tempting for her.

But Bella stayed seated, especially given that she'd just blown her cover and the Cullen's were now aware that another vampire was in the hall with them.

She'd really been hoping to get a class with Alice and get the chance to speak with her before having to deal with the rest of the coven. But if she was truly planning that she wouldn't have been sat here needlessly, of course, spending all morning without sight of her mate was much too annoying for Bella and so she'd followed along with the humans in the hopes of just watching the girl from a distance.

But no, teenagers were stupid, and petty, and downright bitchy.

And if Bella had to listen to one more comment about Alice she was going to go on a killing spree.

How on Earth did I think I could last a year at this? She questioned herself as she stood. If her cover was blown she might as well take advantage of it and get closer to the reason for her being here. At worst it would keep her from killing that girl with the mouth.

Walking over to the Cullen table Bella was amused that suddenly she became the topic of conversation as people started speculating as to where she was going.

She rolled her eyes as she came even with the Cullen table. "Mind if I sit?" She didn't wait for an answer as she took one of the two remaining seats left, which luckily for her was directly in front of Alice. "Hi."

Alice frowned briefly as the girl sat down across from her and put her tray down. Glancing around at her siblings who all seemed frozen she shrugged and looked back at the girl with a smile. "Hey." She was surprised as no one normally went out of their way to approach any of her family, or her.

"I'm Alice by the way, this is Bree, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward."

Bella wasn't very interested in introductions and she could hear Edward growling at her, but she ignored it, especially as she'd got the answer she'd been expecting as Alice looked at her with those beautiful blue eyes of hers. The jolt of warmth was more powerful than anything Bella had ever experienced and she wanted nothing more than to gather the girl up and take her away somewhere with her where they could be alone together.

Finally the growling in her ear got too much for her and she snapped her head in Edwards direction. "What. Do. You. Want?" She spat out at him.

Alice chuckled as Edward shifted away from the girl slightly.

Bella was drawn back to Alice by the sound and she smiled at the dark haired girl. "You do know you're sat with a bunch of vampires right?" She asked casually as she picked up a fry and popped it into her mouth much to the disgust of the rest of the table. "What?"

Emmett frowned and looked down at his own plate of food. No way was any of that filth going anywhere near his mouth. A glance around and he knew his sentiments were shared by the rest of his family, even Bree.

"How'd you do that?" He asked, moving away from the vampire conversation because they all knew what she was and the contacts she was wearing didn't quite cover the red tint to her eyes.

Bella shrugged and popped a few more into her mouth just for the fun of it. Human food didn't taste of anything to her, and her venom would take care of it. "Yum." She told the big male with a grin.

"Who are you?" Edward asked coolly. He would have to speak to Carlisle soon and convince him they needed to leave straight away. This had to be the vampire responsible for the wolf disappearance. And that wasn't all.

"Why can't I read you?" He continued, unable to stop himself from inching closer to her and trying to read her mind.

Bella raised an eyebrow at him before turning back to Alice. "So vampires don't scare you?" She asked. Alice shook her head at her. "Not even a little?"

Alice shrugged. "Nope, plus I don't think you'd be here if you meant any of my family harm."

Bella could still feel Edward glaring at her and was about to dispute Alice's claim when that annoying girl made yet another comment directed at Alice. Bella felt a rumble start in her chest as she starting going over all the ways she could torture the girl for her comments, maybe she'd stretch it out for a week just for the fun of it.

Alice watched as a wicked grin took over the new vampires face. And when she saw the direction her eyes darted in she put the pieces together. "It's you."

Bella frowned. "What's me?"

Edward narrowed his eyes at the vampire as Alice was caught in yet another vision. This time Edward did his best to capture everything that Alice saw, and what he saw was a school assembly being called and a policeman standing out front talking about animal attacks and having the students stay out of the woods until the animal was caught and killed.

"You kill Lauren." Alice said softly as she returned to the present.

Emmett laughed. "No way!" He said, "That's so cool."

Rosalie bit her lip to stop herself from agreeing with her husband, she for one won't miss the little bitch and would be happy to spend the rest of the school year without listening to her vindictive comments.

She just couldn't say that out loud because she was supposed to be against human killing. But for Lauren well, Rosalie could make an exception especially if it meant Alice wouldn't have to suffer the teasing, gossipy, talk all year.

Bree frowned, looking from her sister to the stranger. "You can't do that."

Bella pouted. "Why? No one will miss her."

Jasper cleared his throat and tried to calm his tablemates down with his gift. "It would be best if you just ignored the girl, we live in this town and we have to cause as little trouble as possible or it would be necessary for us to move on." He explained.

"Over one little human death?" Bella asked, almost pleadingly.

Jasper smiled and gave her a shrug of his shoulders. "Sorry."

Edward glared at his family wondering why they were even talking to this vampire. "Alice said two."

Alice frowned at her brother. "Humans get sick Edward."

Bella grinned and ate some more food off her plate.

"Who gets sick?" Rosalie asked, she hated it when Edward just listened in and started conversations halfway through that no one else understood properly.

Edward sighed. "Mike Newton doesn't turn up for classes the rest of the week." He explained.

Bella tried not to giggle as she continued to chew and swallow her food.

"And Angela said, he looked ill and probably got the flu or something." Alice continued. "Humans do that."

This time Bella did snort. When the rest of the table looked her way she thought it best to make her leave. Standing she picked up her half empty tray. "Well, this has been fun." She spared Alice a warm smile and a wink. "I guess I might see some of you in class."

Alice gave the vampire a wave as she walked away. Her eyes following the new girl as she dumped her tray and then exited the room.

"She seemed nice."

Alice was surprised when her family chuckled, snorted or growled at her comment.

"What?"

Rosalie shook her head. "So there is another vampire in the area." She shared with her family, speaking loud enough for Alice to hear too.

"And we might have two more deaths soon." Jasper added feeling apprehensive.

Edward guffed. "Yeah, what are the chances of those two things not being connected?" He stood from the table. "I'm calling Carlisle about this." He said walking away.

"Of course you are." Rosalie muttered.

Alice shrugged, she liked the vampire. "She seemed nice."

Jasper hid a smile as he felt exactly how 'nice' Alice considered the stranger. "I'm sure she is." He added for Alice's benefit. While he himself was troubled by the vampire's arrival he understood that it was very possible they had all just been seated with Alice's mate.

Rosalie shared a look with Jasper that communicated that they both knew the vampire was going to be around and they'd soon learn just how nice she was. "Come on before the bell goes."

As they all got up Jasper lowered his voice to keep Alice out of the conversation. "Did you catch her name?"

"Hm." Rosalie nodded, several humans had spoken about the vampire. "You think it's for real?" She asked keeping her voice low even as Bree and Emmett talked with Alice further ahead of them.

Jasper lifted an eyebrow at his sister. "Would you risk using the Volturi name?"

Rosalie shuddered. She'd spent a weekend in Volterra along with Carlisle, Esme, Edward and Emmett and if she never went back it would be too soon.

"No, not a chance."

To get caught impersonating a member of the Volturi coven meant certain death, and that would only come after witnessing all of your loved ones tortured and dead before you.

"Then this is going to be more of a problem than a dead dog or a few missing humans." Jasper admitted. If Isabella and Alice were mates, there was nothing any of them could do to change that. The fact that Isabella was a Volturi meant going against her could end all of their lives.

"How long do you think before she tries killing Edward?" Jasper asked with a sly grin. As long as Isabella made Alice happy and as long as he got to keep Alice in his life somehow, then he wouldn't stand between them.

Rosalie laughed hard at that. "Ha! Probably the next time she has to be anywhere near him!" She admitted.

"Esme would be upset."

Rosalie shrugged. "Then you'd better go tell him to keep his mouth shut if he wants to keep his head." She was only half serious when she said that, but Jasper nodded and took off anyway.

"We have English next." Alice said as Rosalie joined her Bree and Emmett.

Rosalie looked at her class list even although she already had it memorised. "Geography."

Rosalie watched Bree and Alice walk away and turned to Emmett and started off in the other direction. "Wonder if Edward will listen to Jazz."

Emmett shrugged pulling on his wife's hand. "It'll all work out babe."

"Hm."

xxxxxxx

Bella watched the Cullen's all split off and dismissed talk of her killing Edward. Unless he did something to harm her mate she would let the vampire live. Until then she would ignore his threats and whining.

As Emmett and Rosalie walked off Bella started after Alice.

Not only was she sick of spending time around humans in these pointless classes she was forcing herself to sit through, she was tired of being away from her mate. If she had to dazzle every teacher in the damn school to be in all the girls classes so be it.

Plus, she could keep the girl safe from that horrible Lauren girl.

Bella pouted at the thought of not being able to slaughter the girl for her comments about her mate, but she was getting a very interesting idea about her mate from the last hour.

It looked like little Alice Cullen could see the future.

Bella grinned as she followed her mates scent along another corridor and up a flight of stairs.

She had to admit she was rarely impressed with gifted vampires, Aro's gift was boring, but Jane's was pretty cool, so too Chelsea's, Edwards however sounded plain annoying. Luckily none of those gifts could get past Bella's own powers.

But her very own mates power?

Seeing into the future?

As a human?

That was just cool anyway you looked at it.
