Hey people! I just wanted to tell you that I am so sorry for not writing for a while. At first I had writer's block, then I discovered Harry Potter fanfics, and then I didn't know where this story was going so I planned out the entire thing and now I know! And finally, I got sick while writing this chapter, but now I felt better so here it is! Thank you to all the people who reviewed!

Witch's Runes

Bella's Point of view

School is horrible. Absolutely horrible. Why must people judge us so cruelly, we did nothing wrong, we don't harm anyone. Unfortunately Forks High apparently can not accept someone who's different. You probably don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about so I will recap my previous class:

It was the last class before lunch and so far my day was going well.

Physical education. Those two words can either make or break you, you could be athletic and score a spot on the basketball or soccer team and therefore become popular, or you can totally suck and end up knocking someone out with a ball and unfortunately for me, I am one of those people.

Before I could come up with a plan to escape Hell ( aka gym ) the Coach called me over to assign me a locker and handed me a uniform telling me to go change.

Ah, changing rooms, another two words that can ruin your reputation. You can spend an eternity wondering if you're too fat or if your chest is too small, I however think I'm just fine.

I found my locker and shoved my backpack into it and looked at my uniform, green shorts and a white shirt, oh and here's a kicker, it was at least two sizes too big. I sighed, sucking it up, I started to change. As I was taking off my hoodie a loud screech came from my left. I turned to see where the sound came from. A girl with blue eyes and bottle blond hair was staring at me in what could only be described as a look of horror and disgust.

" What?" I asked not getting why she was staring at me like that.

" You're one of them." She said scathingly.

I looked at her wondering who she was referring to. " Who?" I asked her.

She snorted and pushed her way past me also achieving the goal of shoving me into the lockers.

" What the hell did I do to you!" I yelled at her.

She huffed and turned around. " Stay away from us, Witch."

How in the world did she – Oh! My hand clasped around my necklace. It was the pentacle my grandma gave me last summer in England. It has a garnet with a Celtic crescent moon circling the star.

I looked around and saw that everyone was whispering and throwing glances at me while scurrying out of the room.

Great, this was going to be just like Phoenix.

End Flashback

And I was right. No one would talk to me. Wow, the word spreads fast around here. It was like I had some contagious disease, a disease you could catch by talking to me. You couldn't catch said disease by looking at me, oh no there was plenty of staring and it was getting pretty annoying.

Why, oh why, did they have to be judgmental. I'm just like everyone else, I just have a different religion. You would think a town with so much green would have more of my kind here.

I put my head down on the table and wiped away a few stray tears that escaped my eyes. I was at lunch and nobody would sit with me, not even Mike, not that I wanted him to anyway. One word and whoosh! He doesn't like me anymore. He was nice to me yesterd-

Screeeeech!

I all but jumped out of my skin when the chair across from me moved. I looked up. In front of me sat a girl. Man was she tiny, she had short chin length black hair with one side pulled back in a clip and Grey eyes.

" I wouldn't eat that if I were you. You would probably die if you do. My friend Emmett got food poisoning from it once." She said looking at the food on my tray.

I just stared at the little pixie like girl in front of me.

" Um, okay." I said pushing the tray away.

"You okay?" She asked looking at me with concern.

" Yeah." I said wiping more tears away.

She stared at me with a calculating look for a minute then she got out of her chair and walked over to my side of the table. She picked up my backpack, grabbed my arm, and proceeded to yank me out of my seat and towards the cafeteria doors.

" Where are we going?" I asked as we cleared the cafeteria and headed toward the back of the school.

She turned her head while still walking and gave me a smile. " To a place where I know will make you feel better. Come on, we don't want to get caught!" She started to run, dragging me behind her while I tried to keep up. For a small thing she's really fast.

After a minute or so we arrived at the back of the school which lead into the forest. She stopped and looked back at me.

" I'm Alice by the way."

"Bella." I said.

" Nice to meet you Bella, now we don't want to be late come on." She continued walking.

" Late to where?" I asked her.

" To meet up with some friends." She answered climbing over a log.

Her friends? Will they be angry at her for bringing me? I voiced my question.

" No we won't. We love meeting new people." A voice said above me.

I squeaked, startled, and looked up. Sitting on one of the branches of a tree was a girl. How did I not see her before?

Well maybe it's because you were being dragged off into the forest by a stranger and you were to busy wondering why she talking to you to notice you surroundings. What a way to get yourself murdered. My brain answered sarcastically.

The girl leaned back and hung upside down right in front of me. She held out her hand, " Esme Evans."

" Bella Swan." I said shaking her hand. Esme had long caramel colored hair and green-blue eyes.

Alice came up next to me. " Hey Esme. Where are the others?" She asked.

" By the old oak tree. Oh, and if you see Carlisle tell him 'chlorophyll'" Said Esme. She righted herself on the branch and climbed higher up the tree and disappearing into the leaves.

I stared up at the tree for a second then turned back toward Alice.

" Does she do this normally?" I asked nodding my head toward the tree.

Alice sighed, " Yep, she does this all the time. Come on, let's find the others." She took my hand and we started walking again.

Now I'm going to answer questions:

Phoenix-Fire Power: Yes, Carlisle and Esme are teens in this story. And no, none of them are adopted, they come from different families.

Sendmeonmyway: Wicca is a religion

wolfla101: Bella is still human.

OneWIshMakeItCount: They are not vampires, they're Wiccans
