Bella's POV:
I was walking down the street heading towards the Cullen's house when a red Mercedes pulled up. The windows were down and Rosalie, who was staring straight ahead, said in a cold, unemotional voice, "Get in."
I opened the back door behind her and stepped inside. As soon as I was in Rosalie darted the car off. I quickly put on my seat belt and stared at the blurry images as they passed by.
We arrived at the Cullen's house as she parked the car in the driveway and got out quickly without a single glance at me. She hadn't said a word to me the whole way either while she was driving.
I stepped out of the car and saw Alice talking fast on her cell phone. I walked up to her and caught the end of the conversation. "I don't know maybe, I'll ask her. Just come back and quick."
She hung up her cell phone and put it in her pocket in two seconds. She turned and looked at me.
"Who were you talking to?" I asked knowing it had to be one of the guys.
"Jasper," she said in a rush I almost didn't make it out. "Bella, have you seen any…peculiar people lately?"
"You mean the two new vampires," I said as I caught Alice by surprise, which I knew didn't happen often.
She quickly, in a blink of an eye, gathered her status back looking extremely calm now instead of surprised. But I could see a hint of worry in her eyes. "Did you talk to them at all?"
"Well…," I said wondering how to tell her about my strange encounter with one.
"Yes?"
"I almost ran up to one...," I started but Alice interrupted me, anger deep within her voice.
"Are you nuts, Bella? Well of course you are. What kind of a person in their right mind would run up to a vampire they didn't know. You could of easily been the next victim," Alice said putting a harsh emphasis on victim.
I had never seen Alice, so angry before. In fact I don't think I ever had seen Alice angry, this was more of the thing Edward would do and say. I missed the old pixy like Alice, this angry Alice scared me.
"Alice, you don't understand. I thought it was Edward…," I said unable to think of what to say next as she stared at me confused.
Her eyes stared deep into mine, almost like she was searching my soul trying to figure out if I was making this up or telling the truth. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, is that I was walking down the street and I saw him, one of the vampires. Only I saw his back as he continued to walk. He looked so much like Edward he had the same hair color and style, except he was shorter. But I thought my mind was just playing tricks on me. I yelled his name, well I yelled Edward I don't now what the other guys name is. Anyway he turned around and I almost ran up to hug him, but then I looked at his face and saw it wasn't Edward," I said in a rush but Alice nodded understanding every word.
"He really looked like Edward. Alice, you have to believe me! It was like he was a younger version of Edward and then another girl came out of nowhere and had the same reddish-brown hair."
Alice rubbed her chin with her forefinger and thumb deep in thought. She looked back up at me and asked, "How old did they look?"
"Ummm…around fourteen."
"After the girl appeared, what happened?"
"Well she whispered something in his ear and then they both dashed off. A little too fast then a normal person would, but nothing that raised too much attention."
"Their eyes?"
"Ummm…," I said not understanding at first what she meant. "Well the boys was a light honey the girls however was black as coal and she had deep, dark shadows under her eyes."
"Girls why don't you two come inside while we wait for Jasper, Edward, and Emmett to come back. Okay?" Carlisle called out to us standing in the doorway with Esme by his side.
"Okay," we both agreed as we went into the house.
I wonder how Edward will take this news or even if he knows what's going on?
Edwards POV:
"Who was it, Jasper?" Emmett asked as Jasper hung up his cell phone.
"It was Alice. She says we need to go back home, now," Jasper answered as a flicker of worry went through his eyes.
I hope Alice is alright. I can't believe two vampires just showed up out of nowhere. I sure hope they don't work for the Volturi.
I felt rage and anger build inside of me as I let out a snarl. Why is this always happening? I felt a sudden wave of calmness, I looked up and saw Emmett looking at me puzzled, but Jasper understood what I was mad about.
"Two new vampires have showed up. Rosalie caught their scent a couple minutes ago when she was driving around," Jasper explained to Emmett.
"Oh. Well what are we waiting for?" Emmett said excitedly.
This should be fun. I need something that will put up more of a fight, then grizzly bears.
"Yes, let's hurry up before one of them does something stupid."
You mean Bella, they both thought at once. Then we were off, running as fast as we could back home.
Oh God Bella, please don't do anything stupid or ignorant.
Mysterious Guys POV:
"Caroline, why not?" Samantha snarled in her cell phone while she was driving at 100mph.
"Don't get mad at me Sam. It's not my fault things are the way they are," I heard Caroline say trying hard not to snarl back at Samantha.
"I know. I know. I just don't understand why Adam and I can't go someplace else. Some other state or city for a little bit. Why do we have to stay in Forks, Washington?"
"Jade wants you to stay there. I don't know why, but she does."
Jade was probably one of the wisest person on the planet and pretty close to the oldest. She either was a thousand years old or would be that age soon. Man, a thousand years I couldn't imagine living that long. I wonder how she kept herself from getting bored.
"But why, there are other vampires here, seven of them to be exact. What does she expect us to do?" Samantha wined as she parked the car in front of the house we were renting for the moment.
"I expect you to make friends with them. Now hang up the phone Caroline. Goodbye Samantha, Adam." I heard Jade's voice loud and clear even though I knew she was nowhere close to the phone.
"Bye," Caroline said as she hung up.
Samantha slammed her head into the steering wheel, leaving a small dent in it. "Why? Why us?"
"Way to go Samantha we're going to have to replace the steering wheel now," I said as she lifted her head up and looked at me with eyes pitch black begging to be relinquished from thirst. "First of all, you know why we can't be home. It's because of you and your past, plus you just couldn't leave without somebody with you, so you forced me into to guilt to come. So I could have happily stayed back at home where I belonged. Second I'm sure Jade has some logical reason for keeping us here. Third you need to go hunting and soon before you rip someone's throat out. And fourth Mrs. Wakin is coming, you know what to do."
She sighed took a deep breathe and quickly changed into what she would have looked like when she was thirty-six. If she had lived that long.
We got out of the car and sure enough Mrs. Wakin came out of the neighboring house and walked over to us. "Well I se--," she said and paused as she looked at Samantha. "Oh dear, honey what in heaven is wrong with your eyes?"
I looked at Samantha, my eyes warning her not to snarl, growl, or rip the women's throat out.
"Oh you can blame Adam for that," she joked. "Teenagers are so hard to raise these days, you just want to pull your hair out sometimes. I haven't gotten any sleep in days, because of him and there is something wrong with these contact lens," she said as she pointed to her eyes. She had somehow, with all her will power, maintained a normal non threatening voice, but a smooth, musical, friendly one.
"Oh I didn't know you needed contact lenses."
"Yeah, but for some reason they make my eyes look black. I don't know, maybe they were designed for Goths."
The women laughed and then turned to me. "You better behave yourself Adam, you hear. Your mother has been working awfully hard for you and all by herself. So you help her out and not make things harder, okay?"
Well it's more the other way around. "Okay," I agreed as the women headed for her house as we headed for ours.
Samantha, my mother, shivers shot down my spine. I really hoped that women didn't come around often. I liked Samantha a whole lot better when she was her correct age, physically.
