A/N: Heyy. I was on vacation for a while, and I came up with some great ideas for the rest of the story. And. I assure you whenever this story ends there will be a sequel. And a partner to it from another soon-to-be main character's point of view. :3 Hint: He's in this chapter.

Oh, and don't expect really frequent updates, for I don't even have chapter ten done yet. OO But. I will post it whenever I have chapter twelve done - I always need to be ahead of the game for this story. XD And. At the end I will post a playlist for the fanfic. Y'know, a song for every chapter?

ONWARDS.

Into the Mist - Chapter Nine

Roughly a year later, Fleur was the most adored Cullen. She had earned the love of every Cullen. She was spoiled. Love was piled upon the tiny, loveable child every single day. Fleur was happy, content. All thoughts of her destiny had been pushed from every single Cullen's mind.

Today was a very special day for Fleur. It was her first day of public school. It was also her first day of Grade 1. Currently she was standing on a stool in front of Alice, who was running around her, making sure she looked perfect. Her soft blonde hair was tied into a ponytail with a big blue bow. Her dress was blue plaid - Dorothy style. Her socks had white lace around the top. Her shoes were black and dressy looking. Her backpack was pink with a beautiful picture of a fleur-de-lis on it.

Everything was going to be perfect.

The school they were going to be attending had three separate buildings: Early Years, Primary School, and High School. Every student ate in the same cafeteria, fortunately. Fleur would get to sit with her favorite sister every day.

"Is it time to go yet?" Fleur asked Alice excitedly. Alice nodded.

"Tell me the rules one more time. I forget." Alice looked at Fleur. The tiny child smiled and bounced. "I know the rules! No telling our secret. No super speed or strength. No setting kids on fire. No biting." Reciting an "all-knowing" Fleur.

Alice nodded. "I remember now." She said, picking up Fleur and swinging her around. "Are you ready? Are you? Huh? Huh? I didn't hear you!" Squealed a hyper Alice.

Fleur giggled and yelled "Yes!".

"Are you two coming?" Esme asked from the bottom of the stairs. Alice placed Fleur on the floor, watching fondly as the little blonde child zoomed out of the room.

"Yes! Can we go now?" Fleur asked Esme. The motherly vampire nodded.

As all the Cullens got out of their two separate cars - the Porsche and the Volvo - Fleur was working very hard not to use her vampire speed to run into the school. That would provide too much suspicion in the Cullens' direction.

Approaching the Primary School section of the huge school, all the Cullens surrounded Fleur.

"Remember to be a regular human girl!" -Rosalie

"Show off your amazing clothes!" -Alice

"If a kid is mean to you, tell them I'll pulverize 'em." -Emmett

"Be kind." -Bella

"Don't cry, okay?" -Jasper

"Don't be childish like the rest of them." -Edward

Bella whacked her soul mate on the arm. He feigned hurt and pretending to stalk off. Bella mockingly cried out "Noooo! Edddwwwaaaaaaaaaard... Don't leeeave meeeee..." And chased after her lover.

"Way to not be childish!" Rosalie and Jasper both said, chasing after them. Emmett snickered and followed. Alice hugged Fleur and whispered something in her ear. Alice then followed suit after her siblings.

Fleur watched them fondly before she turned and walked into her new school. The scent of excited children hit her nose as soon as she set foot inside. She was lucky that she didn't thirst for human blood.

Walking down the hallways, she felt many heads turn in her direction. She felt the gazes of hundreds of students staring at her obvious beauty. Fleur pressed forwards through the crowds of frozen students.

Was this how Rosalie felt whenever she started afresh?

As Fleur arrived at her classroom, excitement re-entered her body. Pushing open the door, she was greeted by the sight of her new classroom. A rug was spread over the floor, and desks littered the ground. Six-year-old mortals stood around the classroom, chatting.

Gripping her backpack, Fleur walked to the hook entitled 'Fleur's Hook'. She hung her backpack up, and found the desk with her name tag on it. A person who was named Herold Vareknis was sitting next to her, according to the name tag.

Vareknis... that rang a bell. A very evil sounding bell.

Vareknis. Avenge. Mal. Fleur.

No. No. No. No. No. It couldn't be. He couldn't be here to eliminate her. No. Not yet.

No.

The high school students watched the Cullen table. The newest additions to the high school branch were all seated together, not touching their food.

Lauren Mallory (the second) was bracing herself to go talk to them. She would get that sexy, muscular Emmett Cullen to fall for her. No one could resist her. There was an empty seat at the table practically calling her name.

Apparently the chair's relationship with Lauren's butt was not to be. Just as she got herself brave enough to walk over there, a tiny blonde child skipped up to it and sat down. She kissed the pixie-like girl on the cheek, and hugged her Emmett.

Her mother had told her all about the Cullens. All of the Cullens had named their children after themselves, so Lauren (the first) had done the same. Her mother had not mentioned a small blonde child. This kid must be an outsider. Surely the Cullens would kick her out?

Suddenly Edward Cullen (the second sexiest) burst into laughter. Then he whispered something to his family, and they all laughed too. Including the strange blonde girl.

"Funny, eh, little sis?" Roared Emmett, nudging the little blonde girl. She seemed to be laughing the hardest.

Lauren slumped away, confused.

--

Fleur finally got control of her giggles. "Yeah, like some random little kid would come up and kiss Alice on the cheek!" She giggled. Alice was the only older Cullen still laughing. All of the others were still grinning like maniacs, though.

Suddenly, Fleur was frowning. "I have some news. And a question." She said nervously. All of the Cullens listened intently. "Have any of you ever heard of Vareknis?"

Alice and Edward nodded fiercely. "One of the most dangerous covens to ever exist. Perhaps the most dangerous. More dangerous than the Volturi. Only a select few of our kind know of their existence, however. Why do you ask?" Edward questioned.

"Oh... well... um... There's a Herold Vareknis sitting next to me in class. He's definitely mortal, but I'm worried that he's spying or something." Fleur fretted.

Alice's eyes widened. "What? Oh no... I know what's going on. The Vareknis have stolen another child. They raise their members as children and then when they think the time is right they bite them."

Fleur hid her horror. They were raising a child specifically to kill her. Great.

She chose to hide her worries. The Cullens didn't need to get mixed up in this battle. This was between her and the Vareknis.

She would handle this.

A/N: My favorite bit... ahaha. Lauren at the end - gah. XD "Apparently the chair's relationship with Lauren's butt was not to be." I just loved writing that. :3 Hoped you liked the chapter?
