Chapter 3: First Stepping 's Stone
Fork, Washington
Forks High
Bella sighed, leaned back in the chair in her car and closed her eyes.
Today is Monday, the first of September. The start of a long school year and her task Aro set her and she begrudgingly accepted.
She smirked smugly, she could not wait until this was over! Aro's going to be in for a rough time, he won't know what hit him.
He'll be her own personal, twenty four/seven waiter-maid for a decade! An evil smile graced her lips as idea's came rushing into her head.
Though she was not overly happy with the car she was currently in because it arrived on her door step yesterday afternoon. A man delivered saying she'd won a competition.
She knew better. She new where it was from. It was a Volturi car with a few changes so the Cullen's wouldn't get suspicious.
It's a four-seater Lamborghini, all black, dark tinted windows, doors that move upwards instead of to the side and a personalized American number plate: 1J7FW
This was the first time she'd driven or gotten in the car since it arrived.
Her personalized number plate meant: 1st of July which was the day she and Caius got married and FW meant: Forks Washington, the town she lives in.
She hated to admit it but she enjoyed the drive to Forks High where she was currently parked in the parking lot.
There were only a few other cars their along with a Silver Volvo that had people in it.
She opened her eyes and picked up the folded piece of paper.
My wife,
I love you and miss you more than words can describe.
I know you said you wanted to buy your own car.
But I do not want you to have just any car and I
know that the Volturi's cars are safe and checked over
several times before given to the driver.
It would put my mind at ease.
I will find away for us to be together soon.
Stay safe,
Love,
Your husband,
King Caius Volturi xx
Bella smiled slightly though it didn't reach all the way. She missed him loads, more than she'd ever thought she could miss some one!
She folded the note up and placed it in a inside pocket that had a zip on it in her school bag and decided it was time to get out of her car and find the General Office.
She pressed a button on her car door and the door made a soft sound and moved out to the side a little then lifted upwards.
She grabbed her bag from the passenger seat and waited for the door till it was fully up.
She wore dark denim skinny jeans, black healed shoes, black tank top t-shirt and a black hooded jacket.
Most of her clothing these days consisted of the color black due to being semi part of the Volturi, their dress code consisted mainly of black.
Jane and Heidi had gone out and replaced her entire wardrobe without her knowing. She was not best pleased at first.
She moved one of her legs outside of the car and then her other leg and rose gracefully out of the car.
She took the key out of the start button and then pressed a button on the key holder that locked the car up.
She waited for the door to be fully down and closed before she turned beautifully and walked forwards towards the school entrance.
Jane and Heidi had also put her through hours of torture, teaching her to walk in high heels, all sizes.
Apparently she'd perfected it to the T and could easily pull off as a model apparently.
She slipped through the doors of the school and looked around. This was block one, according to Charlie.
Bella knew she was early but she'd rather be early than late and have to arrive in a sea of students all staring at her.
Charlie had warned her about the rumors and gossip going around about her. She wasn't looking forwards to it.
She spotted the receptionist desk/corner and walked over feeling slightly apprehensive and nervous.
There was only one person there, an elderly lady.
When she reached the desk the elderly lady looked up and smiled brightly.
"Welcome, Miss. Swan, we've been expecting you," she said kindly.
Bella shifted slightly, feeling uneasy, but gave the old lady a shy smile.
"It must be hard for you, dear, moving from state to state. Your father told my husband you'd gone to Europe before coming here?" she said making conversation.
"Yes, Paris," she lied easily. She couldn't say Italy incase the Cullens where here.
"You must be worn out, poor thing. Charlie said you'd arrived late Friday night?" the woman said, searching through papers and draws.
"Yes, I've been in Paris for a few months, since the beginning of the summer," she said.
The lady looked up with a look of shock and surprise.
"All by your self?"
"Yes. I don't get on very well with my step-father," she explained. She couldn't help keep the bitter and hate out of her voice and a strong wave of fury washed through her.
"Ah. Charlie said Renee re-married a few years back, yes?" For some reason Bella felt like she could trust the old lady.
"Yes," she whispered, glancing down at the floor.
"Don't worry dear. Charlie knows he can trust myself and my husband. They where and still are best friends from when they where at school. If you ever need someone to talk to you know where I am. I know how hard it is starting at a new place," she paused, "Ah here it is."
Bella looked up, the lady handed her a time table and a student planner.
Bella smiled shyly again.
"Thank you," she said accepting her time table and planner.
The old lady smiled.
"I'm Jill, by the way," she said, holding her hand out.
"Bella," she said, extending her hand to shake.
This was just the first step across the long line of stepping stones
A/N: So what did you guy's think of Bella's first step in Fork's high?
And oh my god, New moon rocks. I saw it Saturday! Loved it.
But I'm more excited about seeing Eclipse as Eclipse is my favourite book :D xx
