Hello my loves, I hope you all liked chapter four, because Chapter five will be much longer. Please review and tell me what you all think. You should also go look at my other story 'Lord Jasper'.

Monday morning I awoke tired from my restless sleep the night before. When I pulled into the school parking lot people smiled and waved, and I parked in my usual spot next to the Cullen's. It was colder today, but it was thankfully not raining. The morning passed well, Alice and I got in trouble for talking too much, and Mike followed me around like a golden retriever. Woof Woof. It was nice, straight forward and easy, I felt like I was starting to fall into a nice easy routine and I knew what to expect each day.

My day turned sour when we were released to lunch and there was small white puffs floating down from the clouds. Snow. It was worse than rain because even though you think it's safe and you have a lesser chance of getting wet, your screwed when it melts into your socks or on your skin. I groaned and then a snow ball flew past me and Jessica and hit Mike straight in the back of the head. I realized then that this was much, much worse than rain. It was like throwing rain balls at people, and for me that was not a good thing. I said my goodbye's to Jessica and Mike and made my way quickly to the lunch room, dodging snow balls here and there.

When I walked into the lunch room my eyes made it's usual sweep over to the Cullen's table only to stop me dead in my tracks. There, sitting lazily back in his seat was Edward. I felt my heart stop and pick up again, and I thought I could go into cardiac arrest. I was angry he could get such a response out of me when he didn't even know I existed. I went to the lunch line and got my food, Alice was waiting for me at the end and together we walked over to the lunch table. I sat down with my back towards him, a sign that said "I'm going to ignore your ignorant ass" before I striked up a conversation with Alice about the outfit I was wearing which was one she picked out at the mall.

I felt the chair beside me move, and when I turned Edward was staring at me. I tried to give him my best "what the fuck are you looking at?" look which was hard because I had never actually given one. I was never usually mean, I didn't like violence and even if I didn't like someone I usually tried to at least be civil.

"Bella, would you like to walk with me to biology?" Edward asked, taking advantage of our locked eyes to talk.

"You have biology with me?" I asked stupidly, blinking rapidly so I could actually focus on what he was saying. All I could think about were those gorgeous golden eyes, wait golden? I did a double look as saw that his eyes were in fact golden. I could still vividly remember him having black eyes last time, I don't think I could forget a look like the one he had given me.

"Yes, I left early your first day and was sick after so I was never in class with you." He said, almost too politely. The way he was speaking to me was different, I wasn't sure if he was trying to be a gentlemen or thought I was mentally retarded.

"Oh...Well I guess if were going to the same place.." I trailed off, not knowing really what to say. I wasn't even sure why he was talking to me. Didn't he hate me? I bet Alice was making him be nice to me.

"We better go then, the bell rang." Edward said before standing up and grabbing his bag. Looking around I realized that most of the lunch room had left. I hurried to grab my bag and followed Edward out the door. The walk to biology was quite, we didn't speak but it wasn't uncomfortable. I could tell he was thinking about something, just like I was thinking about why the change of heart he had.

When we got to Biology almost every one was there, which meant the students stared as me and Edward walked in together and took our seats. Edward scooted his chair far away from me, but had it tilted in my direction. What, did I smell bad now or something? Oh gosh, maybe I smelt like fish! As I was trying to discretely sniff my hair to see if it smelt like fish Edward turned to me and flashed me a smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself last time we met, I'm Edward, and you are Isabella?" Edward asked, although he added on the question as a last minute thought.

"Just Bella." I said, smiling before turning to my notebook. It was hard for me to concentrate looking at him. Not only was he so handsome I felt like any minute I might catch myself drooling, but I couldn't figure him or his family out and it was driving me insane. There was something different about them, and more my kind of different but I just couldn't figure it out.

"So, how are you liking Forks?" Edward asked, his voice smooth and soft.

"It's okay, cold and wet isn't really my thing." I said

"You must hate it here. Why did you move?" He asked.

"My mother was re-married and I sent myself here to live with my father so her and her new husband could travel together." I said, trying to keep my head high. I didn't want to show any weakness or let anyone know just how much I wasn't liking it here. The constant rain was a threat to me always and I missed my sunny home and the warm ocean waters.

"I'm sorry." Edward said, and it seemed to end the conversation. then made his rounds, handing out microscopes for a project we were suppose to be doing with our lab partners. I had already done the lab back in Australia, it seemed their curriculum was ahead of Forks since I was ahead in all of my classes.

"Ladies first?" Edward asked, gesturing to the microscope where we had to identify the bacteria.

"Thank you" I said, taking a look and telling him the answer, only for him to double check. This made me a little angry, did he not think I wasn't smart enough or something?

We went back and forth taking turns identifying the subjects and Edward stopped second guessing me after my third correct. We were the first ones finished and when I looked around the room I noticed most of the tables were struggling, some looking at the book under the table, or sneaking peeks at their notes.

"Mr. Cullen didn't you think Isabella deserved a chance at the microscope?" asked coming over and seeing our completed worksheet.

"Bella. and she actually identified three of the five Sr." Edward said with somewhat of a smirk, but the tone of his voice was almost dangerous, as if had offended him.

"Have you done this lab before ?" turned to me and asked

"Actually yes, back in Australia in the beginning of the year." I said

"Well then I suppose it's good you and are lab partners then." he said before leaving to check on the other students.

"A shame about the snow, isn't it?" Edward asked, pointing out the window to the rain that was making the snow turn into slush.

"Not really." I said, quite happy that it wasn't snowing now because I wouldn't have to worry about trying to dodge Mike's snow ball fight I over heard him talking about today after school in the parking lot.

"Fork's must be a difficult place for you to live." Edward said, and I could tell he didn't say it as a question, he knew.

"You have no idea." I muttered, turning about to doodle on my notebook. I was drawing my tail, the way I loved how it shimmered in the sunlight that shone through the water while I was swimming. I dew a miniature sketch of the pod of humpback whales I see when I'm out sometimes as well. I could feel Edward's eyes on me, so I quickly covered my drawing of my tail with my hand.

"You are very good." Edward's voice said, startling me from my shading.

"What?" I asked, turning to look at him

"At drawing, do you have a interest in marine life?"

"Something like that." and then the bell rang and Edward was up and out of his seat.

Mike came to my side and together we went to gym, something I was not happy about. I was thinking about Edward so much during the period that I was even more of a hazard. We were playing tennis and I managed to hit mike on the head and to completely miss an easy shot straight at me.

By the time gym was over, I was ready to go home, or at least go for a swim. It had been a long day and talking to Edward could not get out of my head. I made my way to the parking lot, thanking nature for washing away the snow. I was going to have to hide out in the locker room till after the snowball fight Mike planned after school, but now I was free to go. I made it to my truck before any of the Cullen's were there.

I made it to the beach quickly and got out, making my way down to my little cove under the cliffs. I didn't even undress before I dove in, it was just too cold out, but when I got in the water was warm. I felt the familiar tingling in my legs and in seconds I had my tail back. I swam around for a while, trying to clear my head but it seemed to be spinning in circles. My gut was telling me danger, and that there was something different about the Cullen's but when I was with Alice, or even when I talked to Edward today I felt this pull to them, and I felt safe. By the time I was dragging myself, and my heavy tail up onto the sand to dry off I was just even more confused and pissed off because my tail was scraped on some rock and it stung.

Once my legs were back I picked up my bag and made my way back towards the beach parking, walking slowly and taking in the view. Right in front of the parking lot was a group of guys, they seemed to all be natives to the reservation. They were in a circle, and all of them were taller with bronze skin and dark hair. When I got closer one person stood out, a boy maybe 15 years old with long hair pulled back into a pony tail. He looked familiar and from his facial expression when we saw each other he seemed to know me from somewhere too.

Sighing I walked past them and to my truck where I threw my bag in the backseat and climbed in. The drive back to Charlie's was slow, I couldn't pass this man who decided to go 45 the whole way there. I was ready to strangle him by the time he turned off the main road. When I turned onto Charlie's street I let out a sigh of relief to finally be home and parked my truck on the grass in the front yard. I went in and started cooking dinner for Charlie and I, grilled cheese and soup.

When Charlie opened the front door this evening he wasn't alone. With him was Billy Black, his old friend that he goes fishing with on the weekends and the boy from the beach, his son Jacob.

"Bella, you remember Billy, and his son Jacob." Charlie said, leading them into the kitchen where I was just taking off our grilled cheese.

"Yeah Hi, how are you guys?" I asked, giving one of my first real smiles since I've been there. Jacob looks much different from the last time I saw him, I remember playing with him while Billy and Charlie were fishing when we were younger.

"Were good. We've missed you around Bella." Billy said

"Are you hungry? I was just making Charlie and I grilled cheese and tomato soup." I said

"That would be great, thank you Bella." Billy said before leaving Jake and me in the kitchen while him and Charlie went to go watch the game.

"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you today at the beach, you look different." Jake said

"Don't worry about it, I didn't either. You've grown a lot." I said, flipping over Jake's and Billy's sandwiches.

"So, how are you liking the rainy town of Forks?" Jake asked, sitting on the counter.

"It's alright, taking some getting use to but all the kids seem pretty nice." I said, shrugging

"Well I bet it's nothing like Australia. Who have you been hanging out with?" Jake asked

"Oh uhm Mike Newton and Jessica Stanely, those kids and...the Cullen's." I said, adding on the last bit

"Those kids are cool, they come down to first beach to party all the time" Jake said

"What about the Cullen's?" I asked, trying to find out anything about them.

"They don't come to our land"

"Why? you make it sound like they aren't allowed."

"Well, there's this legend and technically they can't."

"Tell me it."

And Jake did. He took some convincing, I even tried to flirt with him to get it out. By the time Jake was done telling me the story of 'The Cold Ones' I had goose bumps, not because it was scary, but a part of me, a big part, believed it. How could I not, when I was something thought to only be in fairy tales as well? Jake and Billy left soon after he told me the story, and I told my father I was tired and went up to bed early that night. I was restless, my mind spinning in all the possibilities but the main thing I kept thinking was "Could the Cullen's be vampires?"

I was up and down all night, turning over and I couldn't seem to get comfortable. The one time I fell asleep I had a dream that Edward and I were in a forest, sunlight shinning through the leaves, but he smiled and it wasn't kind, it made goose bumps rise on my arms and I was suddenly afraid. He went into a crouch and then he sprung at me. I had jumped awake to find my sheets a tangled mess on the floor and my hair sticking to my face in sweat. After that I pretty much stayed up until the sunlight looked bright enough to call it "morning time"

I decided I needed to do some research, see what other myths are out there. I started up my Mac Phil had gotten for me for Christmas, and went downstairs to get some breakfast. I made a big bowl of captain crunch and then went back upstairs. I went to Google and typed in the word "Vampires". Only costume and make-up stores came up, and then I found a few articles and websites from people claiming to be vampires. I even found a website where you give your blood to someone who claims they are a vampire. You even list your blood type. I shuddered and quickly went back to Google. I couldn't really find anything useful and believable until I saw 'Vampires A-Z'.

The site listen legends from all around the world about vampires, old myths that connected to the Cullen's in some ways and not in others. None of them really sounded like them, until I got to the Italian vampires that were told to be pale skinned, skin ice as cold and able to move at lightning speed. I remembered how Alice seemed to come out of nowhere, or how cold her skin was when she touched me. It was written that they feasted on humans, and had a ruling empire. The website also said they were incredibly beautiful to help them lure their prey. This was the closest thing I could find to the Cullen's and honestly it sounded just like them.

I slammed my computer shut and got off my bed. I couldn't stay in the house any longer, this was just getting way too real. I put on my jacket and got into my truck, I just needed to think. I drove down to First Beach and got out. The waves looked a little scary, crashing onto the beach, and the sky was unusually dark. I ignored all of this and continued down the beach to my cove where I undressed and dove in, anxious to feel the water around me.

I just kind of swam around, not really knowing where I was going, caught up in my thoughts. I knew that if the Cullen's really were vampires that I should be afraid. They could drink my blood and then kill me in a blink of an eye. I also knew that they were so gentle and friendly it was hard to look at them as monsters. I knew then that I wasn't afraid. I was a mermaid, something that shouldn't be real and that makes me no less a monster than them. Something come to life out of fairy tales.

Jake's story said that they drank animal blood, that they were harmless but still dangerous. Could I go on that and believe that I was safe because they drank from animals only? A gut feeling told me I already trusted them, or at least Alice. When I looked up I realized I had swam a lot farther down the coast than I had originally thought, and I also realized I made a very bad mistake. The water was starting to become more harsh and strong, and I was miles from any type of land I could get out of the water on, these were only a bunch of cliff faces.

When I tried to swim back towards the beach the waves only pushed me farther down. When I swam down towards the bottom away from the fierce waves the current was too strong. I couldn't fight it and it was bringing me right towards the rocks. I started to panic, moving the waters forwards, to try to fight it and allow me to swim back but it was too much, I wasn't strong enough for either. The water was rushing towards the cliff face, and bringing me with it.

I felt the water slam me into the rock face and the string as it ripped the skin on my bare back. I cried out and tried to pull myself on top of the rock but the water had already pulled me back out, and was getting ready to slam me back into the rock face. I heard the splash as something fell into the water but I couldn't see it before I was smashed back into it, scraping my tale and I felt a rib crack, my head fell back onto the rock, making my vision blurry and black. I was shocked by the realization I was probably going to die, be knocked unconscious and drown. My back hurt, and my head was throbbing, my tale felt heavy like it was tied down to a bunch of weights.

Before my vision faded into the black completely I saw a pair of golden eyes, an angel.

That was chapter five guys! I hoped you all liked it, and sorry for the late update. Not only was I busy, but I had writers block. It's not as good as it could be, but I want to get it posted for you all. Please review!
