Bella's Pov
Well everyone my name is Isabella Marie Swan. I'm 17 and I currently live in Forks, Washington. Depressing as that sounds it my much worse to live it. To much green and it rain to much For me.
I really didn't have a choice on moving to Forks. You see mom and Phil were going to travel. Phil is a minor league baseball player and so he's gone a lot. Mom missed him so well I opted to stay with my dad.
Of course at the time I didn't know what I was getting myself in to. Not that I regret moving. It's just I had a lot of information overload.
When i first came here I found out about vampires. Yup you heard me vampires. And today I was coming to a house full of vampires.
Here's how all begins. On my first day of high school here in Forks, I was a bit nervous. I was sure my dad been talking about me and so making me the center of attention.
You guessed it. I was the headline of the school newspaper. All the boys were instantly in love me. And most all the girls hated me. Not surprised there though. Most other girls hate me. All I wanted to do was run away screaming.
Me and this girl Jessica Stanley were walking in to the lunch room waiting on a boy named Mike Newton. She was obviously in love him. Anyway so here we stand. I start looking around for Mike. Hoping that i can just sit and hide. That's when I noticed their table. I of course stare.
Mike finally get to us and we are walking to get our food. That's when I ask about the 'model-looking' kids sitting by theirselves.
Jessica makes an annoyed sound. "That's the Cullens. They of course are beautiful. But really don't bother they all stick to their selves." Ha she must have been turned down by one or more of them.
"You're just mad Jess, cause Edward Cullen would sleep with you." Mike said. Ha I knew it. "I saw don't get your panties in a twist over it there are other guys out there willing to go the distance." Aww So he likes her too how cute. I might have to play match maker for those two. We paid for our lunch and headed to our table.
"So tell me more. Like what are their names? Stuff like that. I need more." I looked at their table. "The big buff one is Emmett Cullen. As I said before we don't much about them. All I know about Emmett is that he's with Rosalie Hale,the blonde chick. I think she pretty but she's into herself. You can tell can't you. Anyways she's rude she always glares at us like she's better than us. Next to her is her twin brother Jasper Hale. Or at least I think that's his name. He is well scary. A fighter. Like UFC or MMA. Anyways he's with Alice Cullen the pixie one. She's a hyper thing. And I have no idea what Jasper sees in her. Last is Edward Cullen." She sneered his name. Totally upset over him not wanting him. "He's cute sure but in a mysterious musical genius way. He's single I think. But really don't waste your time he's not into any girls here. I think he might be gay." She laughed at her last statement.
I heard a low growling and when I looked back at the 'Cullen' table Edward was visibly upset over what Jessica had said. I turned back to our table to lay into her but a new girl I had yet met spoke before I got a chance. "That's not nice Jess. I mean would you like it if someone called you a whore. No you wouldn't so why call someone gay. Get over it girl. He wouldn't sleep with you. Mike here would but you don't even give him the time of day do you? Stop pining over someone you can never have. And so what if he was gay. Gay people are people too and should be treated fairly." Then she turned to me then. "Hi I'm Angela Webber. Sorry about that. It's nice to finally meet you." I shook her hand. "Yeah nice to meet you too."
I kept looking at their table. They sparked my curiosity. And it was obvious that Edward seemed to feel the same way about or table. And he kept looking at me like he was trying to read my mind. But by look of it he could get a read on my thoughts.
Over the next couple months I got to know him. Edward Cullen. I had to admit that I was starting to care about him. Although for some reason I didn't seem to love him. Not yet anyway. He was just so fascinating.
A couple days ago he took me to this beautiful place. A large meadow with the most beautiful flowers. He wanted to show me something. He explained about vampires and I got to see him sparkle in the sunlight. That just fascinated me more.
As I said before today I was officially meeting his family. Let me tell you I was nervous. Edward said it would be fine and he would protect me but I still wasn't sure this was a good idea.
I met Dr. Cullen and his wife Esme. I had met Dr. Cullen a few times in the hospital but never like this. This suited him better.
"Nice to meet you outside the office Dr. Cullen." He just laughed. "Thank you for letting me come by today. " he smiled. "Course anything that would make Edward happy." I would have to ask Edward about that later.
Esme kinda looked like Edward so I could see that they would pass as family. "You have a beautiful home Mrs. Cullen." She smiled. "Thank you dear. I love to find old houses and fix them up. It took me a year to design all this house, but I love it too." She smiled again I smiled in return.
Then I got to formally meet Rosalie and Emmett. Rosalie just stared me down and glared. While Emmett pulled me in for a hug.
"Oh... A bit to tight... Can't breath... Emmett let go a bit." When he saw me struggling he let me loose. I pretty much ran to Edward. He growled at Emmett in warning. I tried calming him the best I could.
Next I meet Jasper and Alice. She just skipped over to where me and Edward stood. "Hi Bella, I'm Alice. It nice to meet you." She also hugged me. What was it about me that all the vampires wanted to hug me. Must be my blood. "Nice to meet you Alice. Edward has told me about all of you." She just smiled and walked back to the tall blonde next to the stairs. "That's Jasper. He is the newest to our way of life. He still struggles from time to time." Jasper half smiled looking a bit down in the dumps. I felt an urge to go and comfort him. But I was scared to act on hit. I just let calm and love spread through me. Hoping he would pick up on it. Seeing as I knew he was an empath.
Emmett and Rosalie left after introductions. Something about fixing cars in the garage. The rest of us talked for hours.i got a lot of questions answered. Of course Edward refused to see reason on changing me. And eventually I gave up fighting. One thing for sure I'd find a away to get what I wanted.
I made it to my car and got out the drive before Jasper scared the shit outta me. I swear when he jumped outta the woods in front of the truck, I had a mini heart attack. He told me to drive and follow his directions. I did once I opened the door for him to get in. Once the door was set we took off. We were heading for Port Angeles. (Sorry for the misspelling of the name)
Once there we drove to private beach. He said it would easier to talk to me if there was a small amount of humans around. We parked on the far end of the parking lot and started walking and talking.
" I know that my family will be looking for us right about know but before they find us, I just wanted to have a chance to talk privately with you."
"Sure Jasper what's up?"
He sighed. "My brother by venom,Peter, called me before you came over today. He was just informing me of something that I needed to know." He stopped turning to look me in the eye. I stopped as well holding his gaze. It was then that I felt a strong longing and completeness take hold of me. I reached out and grabbed a hold of his hand.
"Please continue. What did Peter tell you? And how does this have anything to do with me?"
"Well first let me explain to you that Peter has a gift. He just knows shit. He gets what he calls a tingling. The a picture come to him. Not like a vision. Just a picture. Anyway he saw our mate. As in true mate. Like a soulmate if you will. He said that she was at our school."
I cut in then. "I'm still not seeing how this involves me. I mean congrats for you. Do you need me to play match make for you or something?" He laughed. "No that won't be necessary seeing as you are our mate. I mean didn't you feel that pull you had earlier I felt it. And now it's not there. I feel complete. I don't know how it works but I trust Peter. He's never wrong bout his knowing things. It's concrete. And I know this a lot to take in but please don't walk away from us. It will hurt. Probably kill us all. I also found out we have three more mates. They are guards for the vampire royalty. They are in Italy."
I could hear much of anything after that. Everything went black and I passed out. By the time I woke up I was home. Jasper watching over me. Well it looks like life was about to get interesting to say the least. And I hoped Alice and Edward understood.
