Twilight Fan fiction

Transitionals

Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Twilight. I have used some sentences directly from the book, I don't own them. The lab scene is one of my favorites from the book so I didn't have the heart to change much of it. Of course I had to change some things, but I had to keep the conversation with Mr. Banner. The scene and dialogue are owned by Stephenie Meyer, as are the twilight plot and characters.

Here's the fifth chapter of Transitionals and the last chapter of the first five chapters which make up the teaser for this book. I really hope you guys like this chapter, and I hope the first five chapters are enough for you guys to get a sense of the story, and whether you like it or not.

Chapter 5

To say I was dreading Monday, was an understatement. I was terrified. I had so many questions I couldn't ask, and I had to deal with the mating bond. I knew Edward had felt it, so not only was I permanently changed, but so was he. The mating bond was going to push us together. Take right now, while I made Sunday dinner I could feel the tug on my heart.

Mates weren't meant to be apart for long. The mating bond was more annoying than family members who try to play match maker. Once it took hold, you were linked to your mate by an invisible force. It would pull you towards your other half; and according to what my mother had told me, it was inevitable to fight it.

Charlie walked into the kitchen with Anna on his hip. He could tell something was wrong. "Bella," he faltered so I stopped him.

"I don't really want to talk about it."

He sighed before nodding. He and Anna went to the living room, and I listened as Charlie switched the channel to something Anna would like.

At least you know he won't hurt you. The little voice in my head told me. The mating bond was good for something. Edward wouldn't be able to hurt me, at least not on purpose. If something were to happen to me, it would kill him, so the bond would keep him from hurting me. The same would be true for me, one day. I shook involuntarily, thinking about the day were I would be stronger than him.

It won't last forever. I wanted to strangle the little voice inside of my head.

During dinner I was really considering skipping school tomorrow. That of course wouldn't work, I'd eventually have to go back to school. I'd have to go sit by him in biology and eventually I would give into the mating bond. I would let him into my life.

I shook that thought from my head, stuffing my mouth with spaghetti so Charlie wouldn't question me. I didn't want to be interrogated tonight; and I really didn't want to tell him about finding my mate. I couldn't be sure how he'd react to that. Would he behave like a normal dad, or would he behave like a member of the rebellion? Knowing what I know about my dad, I figured he'd lean more towards the latter.

Charlie washed the dishes while I got the girls ready for bed. I had Cissy in her bouncy seat while I put Anna in a bath. The first time I had helped with Anna's bath I had brought a book with me. I had thought I could read while she played in the tub for a little while. Boy was I wrong, and now I had to replace my copy of Romeo and Juliet.

Anna's bath usually ended up in a wet floor, wet walls, and a pretty much soaked, bathroom. I couldn't tell her to calm down though. Anna had so much fun in the bathroom, that I would just let her be, and I would clean up the bathroom afterwards.

When most of the bubbles were gone, we picked up the toys and set about the real task of bathing. I then cleaned up the bathroom, and gave Cissy her bath in the sink.

It was almost an hour later before I was able to take my own shower. I gratefully let the warm water relax me. My showers usually calmed me, but by the time I got out I was still worrying about school in the morning.

Cissy woke me from yet another dream about Edward. Saturday night I had dreamt about him the entire night. Even after being woken up twice by Cissy, then Anna, I had continued with another dream about him.

I rocked Cissy in my rocking chair, singing a lullaby that her dad used to sing to me. I tried to keep my voice low so I wouldn't wake Anna. Cissy finally fell back to sleep. I put her back in her crib and climbed back under my covers. Anna shifted in her sleep until she was pressed into my side. I couldn't help wrapping my arm around her.

She smiled in her sleep, making me wonder what she was dreaming. I pressed my hand against her cheek, and was surprised to feel her powers working. I knew my powers worked will I slept, but I didn't know hers did too.

Energy filled me, but so did a sensation I recognized all too well. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach the instant I realized Edward was somewhere near. I glanced at my window and had the decency to blush, before thinking about him watching us during the night. I couldn't help thinking how it would be nice to have him watch over us during the night.

Curse the mating bond, it was messing with my head. Instead of thinking about how creepy he was for watching us right now, I was enjoying the idea that he could protect us while we slept.

I fell back into a restless sleep, dreaming another dream about my mate.

Five thirty came soon enough, but it wasn't my alarm that had woken me up. Anna, who had woken early was jumping up and down on the bed. I wasn't positive, oh who am I kidding, I was completely positive. Anna was looking forward to showing everyone her pretty new clothes.

"Okay, okay, I'm up." I climbed out of bed, wishing I could drag my feet just to get a reaction out of Anna; but I wasn't going to do anything that could cause her to wake her sister.

I held Anna in my arms and opened our closet. It was full of clothes. Thankfully I really didn't have many hanging stuff, so I was able to stuff Anna's clothes in the closet.

Since Anna's clothes were so small Charlie had been able to add a second bar closer to the bottom, adding more places to hang clothes.

Anna found the outfit she wanted to wear and I helped her put it on. She then grabbed her brush and her bag of hair things. I was pinning the last ribbon in her hair when Cissy woke up.

I still wasn't dressed and now both girls were up.

Charlie knocked on my door, when I gave him permission to come in he opened it. "Girls, I'm heading to work." He glanced at me, then it the very fashionable Anna. "Running a bit late today?"

I nodded.

He glanced at his watch before stepping further into the room. "I can be a little late. Is there something I can do to help?"

I shrugged. "If you want to change Cissy, and get her dressed, that would be helpful."

Charlie took Cissy from me, and I gratefully kissed his cheek before grabbing my clothes, heading for the bathroom. When I was done I found Charlie and the girls in the kitchen. He had gotten Anna her cereal and had started Cissy bottle.

"I'll see the three of you tonight when I get home." He grabbed his gun and its bullets and headed out.

Even with Charlie's help this morning, we were running late. The parking lot looked exactly like I had imagined, the only spot was beside Edward's stupid shiny silver Volvo.

All five of the Cullen siblings were waiting beside their car when I pulled up. Alice bounced excitedly, while Emmett waved.

I unlocked the doors and had my hand on the handle when a little white glove flew beside my face. None of the Cullens had missed it. I ignored them and turned around to face Anna. She wiggled her fingers and glanced down at my hand. I had almost forgotten to put my ring on; that would have been a bad thing, especially with how close the Cullens were.

I grabbed the ring, slid it on my finger, then opened the door.

Alice bounced to my side. "Hi Bella, I had a really good time shopping with you last Saturday."

I opened Anna's door, not meeting her gaze, so she wouldn't see me roll my eyes. "That was a life changing experience."

Alice's siblings laughed loudly at that.

I struggled to unbuckle Anna, who was being surprisingly wiggly today. She pulled at the straps of her car seat. She struggled and cried out in complaint.

"Just keep still for a moment and I'll get you out. What's wrong with you today Anna, you've been impatient all morning?" I finally got her out of her car seat and set her down.

Once her feet were firmly on the ground she ran. I turned, worried that something was wrong. I tried to grab the back of her coat, but she was already out of arm's length.

She ran over to Rosalie, stopping in front of her before spinning around in a circle in front of her.

Rosalie knelt in front of Anna. "Don't you look precious?"

"We should go shopping again soon," Alice said, getting my attention.

I gave her a disbelieving look. "Did you see my room?" When she nodded I continued. "There isn't any more room for clothes; besides, I have all I need. And the girls have more then they need," I added under my breath.

I wasn't positive, but I thought I heard Alice say something, and sneaking a peek at the other Cullens and their smiles, I was sure she had. She followed me around the car and grabbed Cissy out while I grabbed my backpack.

"I've got it Alice," I couldn't stop the words from coming out of my mouth, or the anger the words were wrapped in.

Jasper stiffened, not liking how I had treated his mate. Alice merely smiled at me and said, "I know Bella, I just wanted to help. I don't want you to be late." She handed me Cissy's carrier and flounced over to Jasper's side. She gave him a look, and I watched her lips move quickly. She was talking at vampire speed, and low enough so no humans would hear.

Rosalie carried Anna happily, so all of them walked me to first period. Rosalie even went as far as carrying Anna to my seat. Everyone in the class watched as Rosalie waved to us and walked out.

"So, you're hanging out with the Cullens now?" Mike asked at the end of class.

I forced my eyes to stay forward, so they wouldn't roll obnoxiously. "The spot next to their car was the only open spot. They were still by their car, and Rosalie was kind enough to carry Anna." At these words Mike glanced at Anna. He didn't dare make a move to pick her up though; he remembered that first day and thought better of it.

We walked out of the class room and I groaned while everyone else grinned in excitement. It was snowing outside. I tightened my grip on Cissy's carrier and focused on each step I took. Anna eagerly tugged on my jeans. She wanted to go run and play in it.

Mike grinned. "I bet this is different than Phoenix."

I nodded.

"Have either of you ever seen snow before?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"Sure we have," I paused, "On tv."

He laughed at that, but then stiffened after he was hit by a snowball. We turned looking for the culprit. My guess was Eric, who was walking in the opposite direction of his next class. Mike seemed to have the same idea, because he bent down and scooped up a handful of slush and tossed it at him.

Anna glanced at the ground and I had to nudge her with my knee to get her to start moving again. Great, thanks to Mike, Anna wanted to have a snowball fight. We walked into class just as the bell rang.

Walking from class to class suddenly became a danger zone for me. My poor balance, which was already amplified by the added weight of both my backpack, and Cissy's carrier, was now slim to none. The snow had made the ground slick and I was absolutely terrified that I would slip with Cissy in my arms.

Jessica, who had been considerably nicer to me since finding out my backstory, was kind enough to walk with me. She even held onto my elbow, to help support my lack of balance. The only problem was she seemed to be one of those people, others liked to target.

On the way to lunch she had been hit no less than three times. I was lucky enough to stay upright.

Angela and Ben were waiting for us in the cafeteria. We grabbed our food and joined the others at the table. Lunch was the same as always, except Mike was getting everyone pumped up for a giant snowball fight after school today. Great, I'd just hide in the gym until after they all left.

I got up and buckled Cissy back into her seat. I made sure she was bundled up nice and warm before putting my backpack on.

"Here Bella, I'll come with you." Angela hurried to grab her stuff but I waved for her to sit back down.

"It's okay Angela, I'll be fine. You don't have to come with me."

"Are you sure? I don't mind." She smiled, reassuring me that it was no trouble.

I nodded. "You enjoy your conversation, we'll be fine."

Anna and I headed for the closest exit. We passed the Cullens' table and I had to fight the bond. I had been fighting the urge to glance at Edward all lunch period, and now that I was so close to him, I found it harder to fight.

I just barely managed to keep myself from glancing at Edward. We walked outside into the cold and I was happy to see that the snow had already turned to rain. We wouldn't have to wait to go home now. In my excitement I didn't notice the two vampires who were following us until I saw them in the bathroom mirror.

Alice and Rosalie smiled at us and went to the sinks.

I did my best to ignore them, but when we left the bathroom, they followed us. I tried not to think about it. I was glad to get to biology, to get rid of the two of them. But then I was terrified to be in the same room as Edward.

I took my time unbundling Cissy, so she wouldn't get too hot. I then made a point of setting up my stuff and getting Anna her coloring book and crayons. I glanced at the microscope on the desk.

"I guess I didn't need to get this out." I didn't realize I had spoken out loud until I heard Edward chuckle.

"I think you might be right about that." Edward smiled at Anna who was looking at the microscope curiously.

Mr. Banner walked into the class then and began explained about today's lab. We were working on the phases of mitosis.

"Ladies first, partner?" Edward asked.

I looked up and found him smiling a gorgeous crooked smile at me. My heart fluttered, and all I could do was stare at him like an idiot.

"Or, I could start, if you wish." He offered.

Anna patted the desk then pointed to herself, pulling me away from thoughts about Edward. I laughed at her.

"I'll go ahead," I said flushing.

I had already done this lab, so I was showing off a little. You know, he's probably already done the lab too you know. The little voice in my head had to put in her two cents.

My enthusiasm vanished. I glanced at the slide before sliding the microscope towards him. "Prophase."

He glanced at it and nodded before writing down our answer on our paper. Wait, what, our answer, our paper? The bond was taking control of my thoughts.

Anna tugged on my sleeve and pointed to the microscope. I pulled it closer and let her look through it.

And that's how the rest of the lab went. I'd look, then he'd look, then Anna. Then he'd look, then I would, then Anna would. We were done long before anyone else was.

Mr. Banner walked up to our table when he realized Anna was the only one using the microscope. He glanced at our worksheet and turned a stern glare at Edward. Anger built up inside me, and I realized my protective side was threatening to come out. Anna rested her hand on my cheek to calm me.

"So, Edward, didn't you think Isabella should get a chance with the microscope?" Mr. Banner asked.

"Bella," Edward corrected automatically. "Actually she identified three of the five."

Mr. Banner looked at me now; his expression was skeptical. "Have you done this lab before?"

I smiled sheepishly. "Not with onion root."

"Whitefish blastula?"

"Yeah."

Mr. Banner nodded. "Were you in an advanced placement program in Phoenix?"

"Yes."

"Well," he said after a moment, "I guess it's good you two are lab partners." He mumbled something else as he walked away.

Surprisingly he came back with another box of slides. He smiled at Anna before turning to me. "I had a feeling she'd like today's lesson. Here's some stuff she can look at."

I couldn't help the smile that spread over my face as I thanked him.

I put one of the other slides in place and I watched Anna who excitedly looked through the eye piece. She pulled back and pointed at it. I took a glance and smiled at the bright colors I saw.

Anna turned to Edward after had sat up. He smiled his crooked smile and slid the microscope closer so he could see. The three of us looked at slides until Mr. Banner called the class to attention. Edward and I listened to the lecture, while Anna continued glancing at slides. I'd carefully switch slides for her.

When class ended, Mr. Banner came to the desk and took the extra slides back. I thanked him again, while Anna flashed him a thankful smile.

He smiled back at us. "It's good to see someone so young interested in science."

I gathered our stuff, and bundled Cissy back up.

I met Mrs. Clapp in the girl's locker room, and she watched Cissy While Anna and I changed into our PE clothes. She carried Cissy to the bleacher and sat down.

I know that Cissy was in good hands with Mrs. Clapp, and I was thankful she was willing to spend her time taking care of my cousin while Anna and I participated.

Volleyball had become a rather fun game to play. My team mates still did their best to keep the ball away from me, so I wouldn't hurt anyone. But they worked hard to make sure Anna was able to join in the game. She was getting good too. For only being three years old she could hit that ball.

Coach Clapp had even told me, he could see her becoming a serious player by the time she got to high school.

I didn't dare imagine it. I didn't want to think about Anna in high school. I didn't want her to grow up so fast, but I also didn't want to get my hopes up.

My life was dangerous. The loss of most of my family was proof of that. Because of me, some of my cousins didn't even make it to elementary school. Nothing was guaranteed in this life. And thanks to certain people and things in my life, anyone close to me had a less likely chance of surviving to the next day.

That thought was depressing, but it was something I would just have to live with. It was the main reason why I wasn't going to let anyone get too close to me. I didn't want to put anyone else in danger.

It wasn't fair to me or the girls, but life isn't fair.

Author's Note

Alright that was the fifth chapter, and the last chapter to this little teaser. I hope these five chapters are enough to give you a feel for the story. Let me know what you think, add love to hear your feedback.

Okay, so since I've uploaded the first five chapters, I'm just going to go ahead and re-ask the questions I asked in the first four chapters before asking the chapters I have for you for this one.

So Chapter 1's

Do you have any guesses about what happened to Bella's family, or how Bella knows about Vampires?

Chapter 2's

When I first wrote this chapter I had someone else offer to help Bella with Anna and Cissy during lunch. Any guesses who I had originally had helping her?

Chapter 3's

Any guesses whether or not a certain pixie heard about a certain shopping trip Bella planned? Do you think the vampires are spying on Bella enough to know about that little adventure? Any Idea's when Bella will be officially introduced with the rest of the Cullens?

I know the shopping trip already happened, so do you think the Cullens knew beforehand that Bella was going to be at the mall?

Chapter 4's

Do you guys think, Rosalie noticed Bella's colder than normal skin? Do you think the Cullens have any reason to start wondering about Bella? Any Ideas when you think the Cullen's should learn about Bella's powers? And finally, any idea why or how Renee knows so much about the mating bond?

And now for the questions for this chapter.

Do you think Anna's friendship with Rose will be the reason, or one of the reasons why Bella lets the Cullens into her life? Are you guys excited about the coming car crash scene? What do you guys think I'm going to change? And my personal favorite, do you think Edward's going to expose himself to save Bella, or will Rosalie expose herself to save Anna?

Dunt dunt duh.

I hope you guys liked this chapter. As a final thought, I'm not one of those people who won't post until I get a certain amount of reviews, but I really would like to know what you guys think about this fanfiction. Please let me know if you see any grammar mistakes, or any other mistakes.

Thanks,
