A/N: I know that I haven't updated in ages. And I don't really have a reason except that fanfiction no longer worked on my laptop and that I didn't get much reviews. BUT, I did not give up on the story and have been making up for the lack of updates by writing heaps of chapters while waiting for fanfiction to let me back on.

Any ways enjoy the next chapter and please review!

Alice P.O.V

There was something up with the new girl. I don't know what it is, or even how I knew that there was something strange with her. All I knew was that she was different to all those other humans.

I mean, as I walked down the corridor towards the cafeteria I felt as if something more than introductions had gone down between me and Bella.

I wasn't going to go back to class, I had to think, and in order for me to think Edward couldn't be there.

Sitting next to Edward in class and trying to think is not possible.

He knows all your thoughts and it leaves not room for privacy.

So instead I went and took my usual seat in the cafeteria to think to myself.

I had this feeling about the girl... like she might know what we are... but that's not possible.

I tried to look into her future but it was blank. Like someone was trying to keep me from seeing anything. Her future was being blocked from me. I couldn't see anything and that was something that I didn't like. It had never happened before...and yet I had the feeling like it had happened.

Oh well, maybe Edward and Jasper will have more luck.

When the bell rang for lunch I thought that Edward would be the first one to rush through the door. He would be mad at me for not returning to class to tell him what had happened in the corridor and in rush to give us a theory about who this girl was after reading my thoughts.

So, I sat as patiently as I could at our table waiting for Edward and Jasper to come in. I knew that Emmett and Rosalie would be slower having had separate lessons from each other.

When the cafeteria door finally opened a few seconds after, I was expecting to see my husband and brother, but instead I saw the two boys who had transferred here two weeks prior to Bella. They were here with their sister so I was surprised to see that she wasn't with them.

She was hardly ever on her own, they were always together.

They were only here for a couple more days before they had to leave, and yet everyone knew who they were.

The dark haired boy, with the brooding expression on his face's name was Alec, I think, while the handsome blonde, who had within one week of school won the hearts of all the girls, and was known for his player ways, was Jace.

Within a week of school he was deemed the most popular student in school and yet he would keep mostly to himself and his adoptive family.

The entire family mostly kept to themselves so it was a surprise when they walked in without their sister, Isabelle.

Just then the doors to the cafeteria opened and my gorgeous husband walked in with my very constipated looking brother, Edward.

One look at his face almost had me on the floor laughing.

What's wrong Edward? You look like you a stick stuck up you bum; one that refuses to come out. I thought to him, trying not to fall out of my seat laughing.

He turned and scowled in my direction and his face took on a more relaxed yet determined expression.

As the two sat down on either side of me, the doors to the lunch room opened again, and this time in walked Isabelle, with no one other than, Bella.

And that was the moment that I realised that Bella's future wasn't the only one that I couldn't see. The other three new kids were just as difficult to see...maybe they were connected.

I turned to Edward to ask him to read their minds but he just shook his head.

"I can't" he said "I'm being blocked."

"What do you mean?" I asked and Jasper leaned in a little closer to listen.

"It's as if there is this brick wall around all their minds" he spoke through gritted teeth like he was trying to knock the wall down with his mind. Eventually he gave up and shook his head.

Leaning back in his seat he said "this morning in class I could read her thoughts, when I sat next to her. But then she looked up at me and something in her eyes changed...like she knew that I was reading her mind."

"What about the other three?" I asked him.

"I could hear them as well when they were here without her, but now, it looks like she's stopping me from reading their minds as well. Whoever, or whatever, she is, I think that she knows what we are...and now that I think about it I think that the other three do as well."

Me and Jasper just looked at him waiting for an explanation.

"When I could hear their thoughts, their mind were always controlled around me. I never thought much about it before but now it seems a little odd. Most of the humans here don't really control what they think about."

All three of us looked at each other and shared a knowing look. We knew that there was only one thing that we could do in a situation like this.

"We have to talk to Carlisle." I said just as Emmett and Rose walked in. They looked at us asking why we had to go to Carlisle. So, once they reached us we quickly yet quietly explained to them what we had found out about Bella and the others.

"But, I met Bella and she seems just like all those other humans...maybe even plainer. My point is that she is just as plain, boring and simple as all those other girls." Said Rosalie, and you didn't have to be a genius to know that she was jealous that Bella was getting more attention than she was.

"Awwwww, come on Rose, she's not that bad" said Emmett. But one look from Rose shut him up.

Just then the bell signalling the end of lunch rang and everyone began to make their way back to class.

As I got up I looked towards Bella and caught her looking at us all with a perplexed expression on her face. It was almost as if she was trying to place us...like she knew us from somewhere but didn't know where.

Once she caught my eye though, she frowned a little before realisation dawned on her face.

She looked at me for a little longer before looking at my family once and walked away with a look of realisation on her face.

Bella P.O.V

During lunch I found out that Isabelle and her brothers had been here for two weeks already and that they were to leave within the next few days.

However, before that, when we were walking to the cafeteria to eat I pulled her aside and asked her the one question which had been bugging me ever since I had arrived in this place.

I asked her if she was a Shadowhunter.

At first her eyes only displayed shock, but then slowly the shock developed into recognition.

She looked at me eyes full of excitement and joy and said that they had been looking for me all day. Well, not me in particular but the Shadowhunter who was to arrive soon. They just didn't know that this person was me.

I was guessing that they were expecting someone a little older perhaps or someone of the opposite sex...maybe even both. All I know for sure was that they were not expecting someone like me.

But little did they know what I could do.

As we started to walk towards the cafeteria again she began to tell me all about the place where I would be staying, the place I would be calling home for a while.

It was also the place in which they currently lived.

She told me that her family was informed of the arrival of a Shadowhunter in this area and that they had been making it homier for me since I would be staying there on my own after they left.

They were only here for the short while to help me settle then they were due back to New York, which was their home

Once I found out that her and her brothers were Shadowhunters as well I asked her the second question which had been bugging me all day.

I asked her what her family knew about Edward and his siblings and whether or not she knew that they were vampires.

She looked at me for while before saying that most Shadowhunters didn't know that they were vampires, most mistook them for humans.

"I'm impressed," she told me. "But, they're not to be worried about. Edward and his family are mostly harmless. We only have to watch out in case they lose control."

When she saw me looking at her curiously she continued, "They only drink animal blood. They go against their nature...you could say that they were the vegetarian bunch of vampires. That's why their eyes are butterscotch and not red."

After a small pause she said, "BUT, if you see them and their eyes are dark, or black, then its best if you steer clear of them as it means that they are hungry."

"So," I said slowly thinking, "I'm guessing that all the other things, like the holy instruments and the sun, don't affect them either?" I asked.

But before she had the chance to answer we saw Edward walking in front of us with one of his siblings and instead of saying anything she just nodded her head, while I put up a guard on our minds to stop him from stealing our thoughts.

When we reached the table, on which Alec and Jace, Isabelle's brothers sat, mu curiosity got the better of me and I pulled out a pen and paper and wrote a note to Isabelle to tell me everything she knew about our resident vampires.

She told me that all I really needed to know about them was what she told me outside and that we knew about the vampires, but they didn't know about us, and that it was best if it stayed that way.

Soon after she put the note away and old me that as soon as her family had things in order back in New York, it would be my job to watch them along with the werewolves who lived on the reservation.

Although I was taking everything in my mind was elsewhere.

I couldn't help but get the feeling that I knew them from somewhere. The vampires I mean.

So it was no surprise that I found myself staring at them when the bell rang.

Looking over I realised that there was an additional couple there whom I didn't recognise.

However looking closer I realised that I had seen the gorgeous blonde around the school and that the humongous bear like boy was in my AP English class.

I also realised that the blonde male was, in fact the other blonde, Rosalie's, 'twin', Jasper. While the giant was called Emmett.

Rosalie didn't like me much, I remembered. She was always looking down on me like she was superior and that I was just dirt on her shoe.

Jasper on the other hand always looked as if he was in pain. I realised that he actually was in pain, from the burning in his throat, caused by the smell of blood.

For the looks on his face I gathered that it was harder for him to resist than the others and this made him dangerous to himself and everyone around him, so in an effort to make him more comfortable ii put a shield around mine own and as many other peoples sent as I could.

As I did this I realised that I was helping him. That I was helping a vampire...but I pushed this thought away and put my actions down to wanting to protect the humans in the room.

Emmett on the other hand was a ginormous goof. He was always making jokes and people laugh. Most of the student body was afraid of him because of how big he was, but I found that he was so far my favourite in the family.

It dawned on me that I actually like hi, even though he was a vampire, and that scared me more than anything else these last eight years.

Looking at their table gave me the feeling that I recognised them from somewhere, even though they couldn't all look alike, something about them was ringing a bell in my head...like I had seen them all before, or a part of them before.

It was right there on the tip of my tongue and yet I couldn't quite remember what it was.

Just I had concluded that I was making things up, Alice caught my eye and I realised that they did all look similar. They even looked familiar.

Frowning I realised that they all had the same eyes...and that this wasn't the first time I had seen those butterscotch eyes before.

I had seen the same eyes when I was 9 years old.

I let my eyes scan the rest of her family, my eyes landing on Edward last, and sure enough they all had the same butterscotch colour.

My eyes wondered back to Alice one more time before I made my way over to biology with a look of realisation on my face.

I could tell that Alice at least had seen the look of realisation on my face, but I didn't know about the others.

Walking over to my biology classroom I remembered that fateful in which I had seen those very eyes.

They belonged to the man who had saved me from the red eyes...that man's name was Carlisle and he couldn't possibly have anything to do with this family...could he?

As I walked into the biology room, I realised that the only seat available was next to the one and only Edward...oh, joy.

As I made my way towards him a wind blew in from the door and ruffled my hair. From the corner of my eye, I saw Edward stiffen and lean away from me. That was when I realised that my blood guard was down.

S, in an attempt to help both myself and Edward out I put up the guard which would prevent him from smelling my blood.

For a moment I saw temporary relief in his eyes, then shock, as he caught my eye and I realised that he knew that I knew he was a vampire.

Pretending that nothing was wrong I made my way over to my seat and sat down.

As soon as the teacher started talking I was going to throw all caution to the wind and ask him the one question which had burned its way into my brain the moment I made the connection with the eyes.

Looking at Edward, I figured that I might as well ask him. And seeing as he already knew that I knew his secret I doubted that it would make much of a difference to my situation.

He could know that I knew what he was but he could never know what I am.

So, throwing all caution to the wind I opened my mouth and asked him:

"Do you happen to know a man named Carlisle with the same colour eyes as you?"

He just looked at me with shock for a while.

Then his face took on a contemplative expression, like he was thinking about how to, or whether to, answer my question.

From the shock on his face I was guessing that he thought I was going to ask him something else.

A little while later it seemed he decided to tell me because he turned to look at me and said:

"Carlisle? As in Carlisle Cullen, my adoptive father?"

And as soon as he said Cullen I knew that I had found the right man, and for the first time in a long time, I genuinely smiled at the prospect of seeing someone.

I thanked Edward and turned to the board showing that this conversation was over.

I looked towards the front and began to listen to the teacher with a smile still gracing my face.

Thank you for reading and please take another few minutes to write a review or comment! It really means a lot.
