----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bella Pov ( remember she is a 9 yr old ppl!)
I opened my eyes… what time was it? A peek of the window through the blue laced curtains in my room gave a hint that is was nighttime. Strange why couldn't I remember what I had done yesterday. The room seemed the same I crawled over the bed to the end of it…. the fireplace was warm and comforting and seemed to light up the blue Victorian room. Lace was a major product in my room but I favored my white piano the most. I glanced up at the chandelier and saw the reflections of the fire making all kinds of light patterns.
Two knocks. And I glanced at the door as it opened Tomas, my adopted father entered
"Dear Princess, how are you feeling?" he asked as he sat next to me on my bed and patted my head smiling.
I sat there quiet and looked into his eyes as I spoke " I am well, but I cant help of feeling confused…" he tensed and I continued " Why cant I remember yesterday…..what day is it??……I…I cant remember…." spoke more urgently scaring myself what was wrong with me have I gone mad? " father….I…." I whispered thinking of more questions to ask but he stopped me. And brushed his cold hand across my cheek.
" Bella, Bella….calm down you had a fever for a couple of days and having been asleep for a while but you seem well now…." He smiled. his voice was assuring and strangely sounded like he was keeping something….. But his golden eyes gave nothing away so I trusted what he was telling me. I was… tired and my head was hurting a bit…… had I been ill? I slipped myself off the bed to walk but as soon as I was on my feet I felt lightheaded and almost hit the floor face first.
He caught me and carried me to the bed and slipped the covers over me. I laid there dazed.
" Don't be so hasty, …you may be better but you still need a bit more rest." he scolded lightly I only nodded. " sleep now my daughter." he whispered and kissed me on the forehead I watched him leave the room and closed my heavy lids.
I dreamed of a girl. Or maybe a lady ….she was still young. The girl wore a white dress with blue ribbons. She held out her hand to me…. I don't know why but she looked like….like me …maybe that's why I took her hand. Her hand was cold but not in the way Tomas's hands where. She pulled me into her gentle arms and hugged… me I sat there shocked at this strange girl hugging me! she then whispered in my ear softly " Don't worry your dreams are safe for now… but be wary of what may come dearest, for you are a light to those in darkness….thus be prepared for not all are your allies.." she held me tightly to her chest and smoothed my hair. I was scared of her words, for I didn't understand them but I held on to her feeling safe.
Sarah, a friend of my father's... and vampire as well shook me lightly wake. She smiled. I smiled back
" Good morning Bella, I hope you know... as the headmasters daughter you are expected to be in school without tardiness."
My eyes widened School! How stupid of me I shot up and Sarah laughed she glided to my wardrobe and took out my dark emerald dress and helped me put it on I tied my shoes as she combed and tired black ribbons in my hair. This was uniform for grade school.
The Cross Academy was quite large separated in 3 Large buildings next door with large space between. Denmark's Finest went here along with a couple of vampires. Who had suites in a special Building on the high school grounds and most of the time attended night classes on sunny days, but luckily for them fall gave little sunshine. I rarely saw them for I was still in elementary school I kept their secret, having a vampire father it was necessary. The High school president / vampire Ryan Falcon was experienced and almost invulnerable to blood so he kept things in order. A mistake from the vampires never happened on his watch. He was very good friends with my father and watched the schools. We where very close. I could tell him anything and he always wanted to hear about my life and Piano practice. But I saw him less since school started as he took the role as president. But I cherished our moments together.
I grabbed my backpack and lunch as Sarah started the black Escalade her favorite. She drove me to the Elementary Gates and pulled in I waved goodbye and joined my friends walking towards the school. Then the old school bell rang a churchly ring three times and we hurried to class.
.I sat in class gazing out the window, my thoughts captured my odd dream. It was distracting. Mrs. Henderson broke my daze as she asked me to speak a sentence in French. I stood up reciting the English poem in French and sat down determined to pay attention. At lunch my friends Mary Danle and Rebecca Birmingham sat under a tree eating our lunches. Robert Vicks a vile snobby little boy found pleasure in pulling at my ribbons. I kicked him in the shin to make it clear I didn't want to be annoyed. He ran away promising revenge. Idle threats.
" Are you going to play the Piano in the Cross fall festival Bella?" Rebecca asked distracting my fury at Robert.
" yes! I cant wait, I've been practicing for weeks" I answered excitedly.
" I have also with running cross" Rebecca answer worryingly " I hope I don't embarrass myself.
" you'll do wonderful!" Mary answer sweetly
" You don't have anything to worry about ! your singing in chorus and it comes naturally to you Mary!" Rebecca laughed.
We chatted on about the Fall Festival excitedly ...it was when all the school, sections came together.
I was more excited about the festival for more than just my Piano recital.
I would get to see Ryan who I secretly admired with my heart. But I dared not tell anyone and it was the one thing I would never tell Ryan.
What Vampire has ever loved a mere Human anyway?
