Witch's Runes

" Bella.." What was that?

" Bella.." There it is again!

" Bellaa!"

Oh it's only Charlie. But why would he be waking me up?

" Bella, you're going to be late to school."

Oh my god I'm going to be late! She sat straight up and ran into her closet grabbing the nearest things and shoving them into her backpack. Bella rushed downstairs, stepped on Oden's tail, causing her black cat to screech like a banshee and ran into the kitchen.

Charlie was sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

" Bye Dad!" Bella yelled as she ran out the door not hearing his reply.

Bella's Point of view

Finding the school wasn't that hard and it only took fifteen minutes to walk to. Like every other important building, it was close to the highway. You would probably pass right by it if you had a car.

Speaking of driving, there were no cars in the parking lot. I'm thinking it was either that no one drove a car in Forks or that I got here to early, I'm going to go with the second option.

I looked at the huge clock on the side of the main office, 7:15. Yup, I'm early. When I get home I'm going to have a talk about time with my dad. What am I going to do for 30 minutes!

I sighed and headed toward the nearest bathroom.

I reached into my backpack and pulled out my clothes. Let's see what I brought.

A black long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, black sneakers with white stars all over them, and my Dracula hoodie.

Not bad I thought and changed out of my pj's. Thank god that no one saw me in them, they were covered in little bears that were holding little cotton candies. Note to self: Buy new pajamas.

I walked out of the stall and tried to tame the mess that I call hair. After many failed attempts I just put it a high pony tail and exited the bathroom.

While I was in there students started to show up.

I walked towards a bench and sat down, pulling a book out of my backpack. A few pages later I heard a shriek. Everyone, including me, turned towards the sound. A bunch of students were on top of the roof and a teacher was yelling at them. The students jumped of the roof and the teacher said something and stormed off as the bell rang. I packed my stuff and headed for my first class.

On the roof of building 5

The Cullen clan were perched on top of the schools roof looking around the campus.

" Alice, tell me why we are on the roof again?" Asked Carlisle.

Alice sighed and looked away from the student body.

" Because Carlisle, I had a vision that the new girl will be here today and I wanted to see what she looks like and this is the only way to get a good look at her without going through the crowd looking around like an idiot." She answered as if it was the most obvious answer.

" I thought you had a vision of her a month ago." Said Rosalie leaning against Emmett who was playing with a piece of her hair.

" I did, but I didn't get a clear picture of her."

" But you always get a clear picture." Stated Esme. Alice sighed and sat back a little depressed. Jasper scooted next to her and rubbed calming circles on her back.

" It's okay Alice, maybe you couldn't see her because she's like us. She may have a strong protection spell on her that keeps psychics from seeing her." Jasper reasoned.

" Maybe." Said Alice. She turned around to look at her 'family'.

Emmett was looking at a car magazine with Carlisle. Esme was helping Rosalie with her Biology homework, Mrs. Hale said if she didn't get an A in Biology next report card she would ground Rosalie for a month. Jasper was still rubbing Alice's back trying to cheer her up.

Alice looked at her favorite 'brother'. Edward was sketching something as always; he was a brilliant artist. A couple of months ago, against his protests, they hung most of his artwork around their house save for a few pieces that he had expertly hidden somewhere in his room. Everyone had someone; Carlisle had Esme, she had Jasper, and Emmett had Rosalie, but Edward had no one. He never had a girlfriend either. 'Never felt right' was his exact answer when she asked him, and even if it wasn't her business, he never lost his temper, not to anyone.

" Whatcha drawing, Edward?" Alice asked him.

" The new girl." He said not looking away, he pointed to a girl sitting on a bench reading a book.

" Edward! You found her!" Alice shrieked causing the new girl, and a few groups of students, to look up from what they were doing and stare at them.

" Oops." She said sheepishly.

" Hey you kids! Get off the roof!" Yelled a teacher.

Alice looked down to see Mr. Banner glaring at them.

" They are no rules against it!" She yelled back. Mr. Banner flushed red with rage.

" Get down now or I will call your parents!" He barked.

Esme stood up and grabbed Carlisle's hand.

" Come on guys, let's go before we get in anymore trouble." She said. Carlisle jumped of the roof and landed in the grass below. He turned around and opened his arms, ready to catch her. Esme jumped and landed in his arms. Carlisle gave her a quick kiss and set her down.

Rosalie and Emmett did the same thing, so did Alice and Jasper. And finally Edward jumped off too.

Mr. Banner marched right up to them.

" Detention, all of you, for one week after school." He growled and walked away just as the bell rang.

They all groaned and walked off to their first classes.
