Gayel and Notchimine just smiled at me as Alesstra dragged me up from the couch

"I knew it! I knew it! I've already got your bedroom ready, come on, come on!" Gayel rolled her eyes but smiled at me encouragingly; seconds later I was wrenched out of the room and down two flights of stairs that you would never have guessed were there. "Okay, so as I didn't really know you, I didn't know what colours you would like but as you're water I decided to go for blues. Your bathroom is really big, I'm not sure what you needed clothes wise so I got Gayel to get loads of everything" She continued talking like this for goodness knows how long before she actually opened the door. I had tuned out at the word prophecy. What prophecy? Should I be worried? I should have asked her about it when she brought it up but now she's gone on to a different topic.

"I just wanted everything to be perfect, so without further ado, here's your room" She pronounced, turning the ivory doorknob and stepping back to let me in. I gasped. The floor was a slightly off white and the walls had an old fashioned wall paper which was patterned in very slightly greeny golds and whites. In the middle of the room there was a pale pine four poster bed with white and green sheets with a silky green runner both decorated with silver flowers. The same pattern went down the sides of the large feather pillows and there was a cushion in the same fabric as the runner in the middle. There were two huge built in wardrobes with a vanity table in between them. There was a desk next to the bed on which there was a sewing machine and a television set. How does she know I like to sew? Just another question for later I guess. On the far end of the room there was a desk on which a laptop was placed, with a lamp and stacks of paper and pens. There were two bookshelves running along the entirety of one wall, one of which was completely filled with classic books already, the other simply had a few classical music CD's on it. It really seems like they knew exactly what I would like.

"Okay, so the wardrobes are mostly stocked but I think Gayel is going shopping again tomorrow, if you want to go too then she's leaving at four and heading out to an outlet store down in Seattle. She'll probably make you go with her anyway though" I groaned internally at this, urgh, shopping, surely there could be nothing more incessantly boring than pacing round store after store trying on item after item. I normally do all my shopping online: far easier. "So, what do you think?" I smiled at her

"I absolutely love it, are you sure this is for me"

"Of course, I'm so glad you like it!" She squealed and hugged me. "Oh, your bathroom is here" She giggled, skipping two paces and revealed a hidden door which swung open to reveal a beautiful and very very large room.

Down one wall there was water flowing down it in torrents. It was odd but it gave off a sense of calm but also immense power, like it was spiritual. On another dark blue wall there were two sinks built in. The sinks were made of dark marble and had modern silver taps. In the middle of the room there was a large whirlpool bath in dark blue as well. The floor was all white marble which contrasted with the dark walls perfectly. On the last remaining free wall there was an indentation where a cabinet was – presumably holding towels and toiletries. Next to this there were two sinks built in to the wall. At the edge of this wall there was a walk in shower. There was no toilet but then again, why would I need one? There was a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling which cast odd but beautiful shadows all around the room.

"Wow" I said, unable to come up with a good response, it was stunning.

"I'm glad you like it, okay, so dump your bag and come back upstairs when you're ready, I want to know everything about you!" She skipped out of the room and I shook my head at the retreating figure, she had way too much energy. I walked back out in to my new room and placed my bag on the pointless bed. I took out my notebook and put it on the table and proceeded to unpack my minimal belongings, placing my clothes in the little space left in the wardrobe (not even looking at the clothes in there already), my notebooks on the desk and my I-pod and phone next to them. I would leave the rest till later, it didn't matter. I walked out of the room and then followed the path Alesstra had led last time.

I subconsciously played with the locket around my neck. I didn't know where it had come from, but it was presumably from the human life I couldn't remember as it had been there when I had woken up all alone. On the inside of the heart there was a faded picture of three people that I couldn't make out and a list of names, all of which were illegible. At the bottom of the list were the only intelligible words "We'll Love You Forever Bella Swan" This was the only way I even knew my name.

Eventually I found my way to the lounge where the others were seated and I perched on the edge of a sofa. They all turned to look at me and the girls smiled. Notchimine's expression stayed blank and unreadable.

"So, Bella, tell us everything about yourself" Gayel said, her voice was reassuring and calm. I felt like I could already trust her.

"Okay, where should I start?"

"Where all good stories start, the very beginning"

"Well, I wouldn't say that mine is a very good story"
"Don't care, tell us anyway" Alesstra interrupted.

"Okay, so my name is Bella Swan and I have very few memories of my human life. I've been a vampire for a few hundred of years but haven't really paid attention to the passing of time so don't actually know exactly how old I am. I woke up all by myself, scared and alone but for some reason I knew that I was a vampire. Despite the call of human blood, the though of drinking it repulsed me despite how much it made my throat burn. I noticed that animal blood smelled similar and tried it; I found that I could survive on that, so that was what I did. It made me feel less like a monster, of which I was thankful. I met a coven when I was a little over a year old and they explained everything to me in full. Thankfully I hadn't broken any rules so everything was okay. I then travelled around by myself for many years, sometimes staying with other covens for short periods of time. I've met the Volturi a few times but I never really like them so stayed by myself. I've held down permanent residences in different towns for the last hundred years of so, getting myself jobs. I even went through high school a few times, that was certainly an interesting experience. I've collected a fair amount of money now and was getting bored of my last town so I had been travelling for a couple of months when you found me. And here I am now" I smiled at them, suddenly feeling self conscious after giving such a long talk on myself.

"Wow, sounds like you had amazing self control as a young vampire, I'm impressed. Alesstra's about five months old to this life and still occasionally tries to rip the head off the odd hiker"

"Hey, it's not my fault that I want to kill them for disturbing our peace" Gayel chuckled at the comment

"Sure Ali, that's why you tried to kill them" They both chuckled at that and Notchimine remained as silent as ever.

"Oh, Bella, you never explained about your power"

"Power?"

Okay, so I shouldn't really already be updating this story already when my others are overdue updates but i was writing this in class and it just flowed, so yeah, you get a new chapter :)

Please remember to review, reviews make me so happy :D
