AUTHORS NOTE (dundundun!):
okay some of you maybe confused a little by my wordings and sayings.
Bella is not actually clumsy she just posses that way to seem delicate and fragile. She has a Bachlor's in Math, English, Science, and Medicine.(required at the academy) so she really knows all the stuff the school has to offer.
Bella and her mom were in Europe on a camping trip when a rogue vampire stumbled across them. He killed her mom(renee) and then proceeded to kill her, but the Luminatess(pronounced Loom-eh-nau-tess) who were tracking the rogue got there before he could finish the job, leaving her to turn into a vamp.(but they stopped that)The anti-venom is made up of wolf saliva, herbs and anti-bodies.(yes, kinda gross.)Bella has tremendous bad luck as you can tell. Charlie was told Renee died in a foriegn car accident and Bella was taken in by an old couple untill she was ready to travel again.
At the Academy all the children were orphans or, like in Bella's case, victims. they teach: gymnastics, swimming, weapons, poisons, regular school, dimplomatics, etiquete, and home ec. Yes, in poisons to graduate you had to poison yourself and then cure it. the kids who were unlucky were saved, their memories were erased and then they were released back into civilization. the campus is located somewhere in the French Alps at a high altitude. They also have and extreme amount of money. it is all kept secret so even the Volturi don't know about it(what do you think they would do if they did?)Luminatess means (female)'children of the light'. kinda anti vampish. once kids graduate they are spread wide across the world. (reason for skimpy/mysterious outfit is cause I felt like it, lotta black)
This is Bella's first assignment and she is still an amature so she doesn't know everything and isn't as confident. Vegetarian vampire's are kept a secret in the Luminatess, so that's why she's confused at first.
Please tell me if there is more you don't understand and I will write about it in my A/N's, Kay? but I will not give away secrets about future events.
