Bella is 6 in chapters 1-3 cause that is as far as I got in writing.


Alice gave me a bath, I refused politely the first two times but gave in shortly due to the fact that I was tired and it was about one in the mourning. After the bath I was clothed for bed and given the options of Alice's room or Edward's room to sleep in. It wasn't hard to choose where to sleep; Edward carried me to his room so I didn't really have a choice. I promised Alice that I would sleep in her room the next night if she wanted me to and in response she just smiled.

Edward folded back the covers and laid me on the bed to tuck me in.

"Good night Bella." He said before he kissed my fore head. "Just call if you're in need of anything."

I smiled and closed my eyes until I heard the door shut.

It took me a while to fall asleep. There wasn't really anything keeping me up. There was an eerie silence through out the house; I knew that no one was sleeping, Alice had briefly told me about the basics of being a vampire when I was in the bath. I think I was just lonely. I wanted to cry but I wasn't sure why. The trauma of losing my parents hadn't set in yet and nothing else bad had happened to me recently. I laid down and silently let myself cry till I slept , trying to make as little noise as possible to keep from any one to come up.

That night I dreamt up a memory of the day before. I was at school and my class had been let out for recess. I was swinging with my three friends, Lilly, Ally and Sarah. We were talking about random things that came to our minds, changing topics every other word. Ally blurted out something about her older sister Jan and how she liked Edward. That was the only topic that we talked about for the rest of recess.

"What does he look like?" Lilly asked as she jumped off the swing.

"I don't know! I've never seen him!" Ally said as she followed Lilly's lead.

"Did she say anything about him?" Sarah asked and walked over to my swing. Lilly and Ally came over to me too.

"She did say that he was tall and had bronze hair." Ally counted on her fingers.

"What does bronze hair look like?" Sarah asked.

"Like a shinny penny." Lilly nodded.

The dream was interrupted by a bright light and a musical voice.

"Bella, time to go to school." Cooed the voice.

I sat up in a daze and reached over to where my clothes would normally be to feel nothing but the bed spread.

"Oh" I mumbled and laid back down. A short breeze messed up my hair then the voice was back.

"Sorry about that." The voice said sweetly. I cracked my eyes opened to see Alice smiling at me.

"It's alright." I smiled back. She left me to change in the room. After I was done I put my clothes away and went down stairs.

"Good morning, Bella." Emmett called from the couch. Edward came over and picked me up.

"Are you hungry Bella?" He asked. I nodded 'yes' right before my stomach growled. That made Edward smile which triggered my smile. He set me down at the kitchen table and made me breakfast. After I was done, every one except Esme left to go to school, Carsile already left for work early in the morning.

Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper took Rosalie's red convertible. Edward took me over to his silver Volvo and locked me into place in the back seat.

"Do you know where to go?" I asked.

"Yep. Alice told me where to go last night when you were sleeping." He nodded.

"How did she know?" I asked.

"Well there is an Elementary school not far away from our high school so we looked into it. Low and behold it was the one you went to."

I was silent for a few minutes. "Do you know Jan Wilkins?" I asked randomly.

"Yes. I have English with her. Why?"

"She's Ally's older sister. Yesterday she was talking about how Jan liked you." I clapped my hands over my mouth. "Don't tell any one I said that! Ally won't be happy if she finds out that I told you!"

He laughed and turned off the car. "I won't tell a sole." He promised and turned to face me. "I'll pick you up after school. Have a nice day."

I hopped out of the car with my back pack. "You too." I said before shutting the door.

Lilly was in the car in front of us. She met me at the front door to start the questioning.

"Who was that?" she asked.

"Edward Cullen."

"Where's your mom?"

I stopped when we reached my locker. "She had to go into work early."

"What about your dad?"

"He never drops me off."

"True."

Ally walked over to us. "Edward dropped you off?" she asked.

"Yeah." I said as I put my backpack away.

"You didn't tell him anything did you?" Ally asked.

"Of coarse not!" I tried to lie. Lilly walked away for she knew that there was going to be a fight.

"Bella!"

"It just slipped out!"

"Things like that don't just slip out, Bella!"

"He said he wouldn't say any thing."

She thought about that for a second. "Are you sure he won't say any thing?" she asked.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"That's good." She sighed.

The bell rang to start the day. My day carried out normally, like nothing happened last night. Classes sped by and Recess came faster then expected.

Sarah, Lilly, Ally and I met up by the swings as always but we were joined by Jacob Black. Jacob was a nice boy when he wanted to be but when he was mad you did best to clear out away from him.

"Bella can I talk to you?" he asked.

I nodded but and Jacob looked to my friends.

"Its about what happened last night." He whispered to me. I looked to my friends as if saying it was ok. They nodded and Jacob and I walked over near the trees.

"Bella, where did you spend the night last night?" He asked.

"At the Edward's house."

"My dad said that it wasn't safe for you there."

My face changed from content to angry in less then a second. "They are just like every one else, Jacob! I'm fine living there!"

"Bella, they are vampires! You know, as in drinking blood and killing people!"

"You know about that too?" I asked.

"Well yeah! My dad said that, that Edward guy killed people, hundreds of people! He drank people's blood, Bella! He could get you too!"

"But he won't, Jacob! They eat animals, not humans!"

"Look Bella." He was clearly trying to hold back his anger. "My dad is coming to pick us up after school.

"No! Edward is going to come and get me! I'm not going home with you!"

Just then the teacher called for every one to come back inside. "Thank goodness" I thought to myself.
