Nothing. He said absolutely nothing. Instead the principals screams of agony echoed around the school's buildings, made twice as loud for us Cullens thanks to our extra hearing...abilities. These screams were interrupted by the gargle I knew so well. It was the gargle of blood. Human blood.
There were a few seconds of silence, apart from the principal's choked screams. Edward and I looked at each other worriedly. Then the chaos began. The humans began screaming, shouting and crying with and to each other, petrified by these strange gargling noises that they'd probably never heard before. Cries of 'WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!' and 'SAVE US SOMEBODY!' could be heard, and any vampire in all of Alaska could probably hear this.
An automated voice came on from the loud speakers, and everyone fell silent. "Can everybody please remain calm" the nasally voice said. "This is an emergency announcement. This school is going into lockdown. All shall be explained as soon as possible. Can every teacher and student please take all possessions within their limits of the lockdown and head to the gym?"
Everyone began to calm down a little. They grabbed their stuff and ran -yes ran- straight in the general direction of the gym. Suddenly the strong scent of human blood hit me hard, and I gasped slightly as I walked to the gym with Edward. "Are you okay Bella darling?" he asked me worriedly.
I assured him I was fine, and I was- well physically anyway. I was worried. Not because there was probably a human mass murderer on the loose- besides, they couldn't hurt me- but because neither me nor Alice had seen this. Why not? Alice normally would have seen something like this. It worried me. I hurried up slightly and Edward followed with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.
We got to the gym to find everyone huddled in tight groups. The rest of the Cullens sat in the corner looking relaxed and were talking together. Alice was in Jazz's lap, Rose was in Emmett's and Nessie was in Jake's. They looked up as soon as they smelt mine and Edward's scents. I smiled at them and Alice got up from her place in Jasper's lap and danced over to us.
I dragged her away from Edward and opened my mouth to ask-at vampire speed- what was going on and why we couldn't see what happened. But of course Alice knew exactly what was gonna happen so she answered my question before I even asked it.
"It's okay Bella." She said reassuringly. "It was a mass murderer- human, by the way- but they were high. As in literally high on drugs. They made a whim decision to come here and they argued with the principal and then they slowly slit his throat whilst strangling him and then they-"
"OK!" I said, pretty loudly for a vampire. "I don't need to know the details on how he died."
"Oh. Right. Sorry."
"I'm assuming he is dead though, right?"
"Uh huh." She said nodding. With a sort of no shit Sherlock attitude.
We wandered back over to the rest of the Cullens, Alice placed herself back on Jasper and I did the same with Edward. He kissed me on the cheek and asked me if I was ok. "Fine sweetie." I said with a small smile.
"How are you Ness? You alright?"
"I'm fine mom. His blood smelled funny. Did you notice that?"
"Yeah…"
We looked up to see Sabrina making her way over here nervously. "Hi…I uh…was wondering if I could…umm talk to you for a…uh minute please Bella?" She stuttered at me. She seemed really edgy.
"Sure thing." I said, smiling at her, trying to calm her down before Jasper had a panic attack. She gave a nervous glance at Emmett and I wondered why.
I looked at Emmett- who looked particularly scary- and elbowed him in the ribs, hard. "What?" he complained. I raised an eyebrow.
"Don't" I said at vampire speed. He rolled his eyes and mumbled an apology.
I walked over to the corner with Sabrina, who didn't know that the rest of my family could hear us easily anyway.
"So what's up?" I asked. Idiot I scolded myself. The principle of her school has just been brutally murdered and she's locked down in school and you're asking her what's up? Oh well.
"Well… the thing is… I think there are a few things I need to tell you since you are actually new to this school and it is your first day and all."
I smiled. "Ok. Sure. Go ahead."
"Well…" she started. "No one in the school actually like our principle. Quite a lot of times he tried to hit on girls and do other…inappropriate things. He was…well… A bit of an arsehole really."
I grinned a little "Uh huh? Oh ok." I attempted to control my grin.
"Yah…well I know that doesn't mean he deserved to die, but it's just, no one here really cares. Not even the teachers."
"Oh right. But why didn't anyone say anything. You know- about him being perverted and all."
"You don't want to know."
I frowned at that. "Oh right." Was my clever remark. "Well thanks for letting me know" I said with a smile.
I then left to go back to my family. "Nice," Emmett said. I growled at him. "What?"
"Don't scare her. She's lovely."
Alice chose that moment to pipe up. "I love her accent. It so cute! But she could totally do with a makeover. She doesn't look like the type to wear makeup, even though her friend does. Her friend dresses nicely though! But I'll still give them both makeovers…" She carried on mumbling to herself.
I rolled my eyes and grinned. Trust Alice to think of beauty at a time like this.
One of our teachers- Mrs Millie I think- stood up then. She had a microphone in her hand from somewhere and she now spoke into it with her high pitched voice.
"Right kids, it's time to go to bed. I know this experience has been –ahem- traumatic, but you lot need to sleep. Unfortunately one of our students has banged her head very hard and we will need a doctor to come and look at her. Does anyone have the number of a doctor? Our numbers are in the office which is currently locked down."
I mentally begged Alice not to say anything; please, please, please, please, please don't- "I do!" Alice screeched. I groaned.
"Excellent. Could you call your -father isn't it?-"Alice nodded. "Yes your father. Thank you Alice."
I sighed. Alice called Carlisle and after quite a short conversation- they started conversing too fast for human ears to hear- Alice announced what she needed to.
"It's all arranged" she said, after snapping her phone shut.
"Carlisle's bringing the bags I've just got him to pack. He was doing it very… quickly-" she then winked, really obviously; as if I didn't understand how quickly. I don't' think any of my family would get used to fact that I was a vampire; I had been human when I met them. I guess first impressions do always stick… "-so that he could do it while I spoke. Oh and I got some blood too. I assumed you guys wanted mountain lion, you wanted grizzly, and you wanted elk?" Pointing to each of us in turn. I mentally laughed at how easy she could say this in a room full of anxious humans; however they were all too occupied with themselves to care that we were currently discussing our 'dinner'.
"Yep. Thanks Alice," We all muttered.
"Oh!" Alice then exclaimed.
"What's up?" Rose asked.
"I have foreseen…" Alice began in an ominous tone, weirdly reminding me of some fuzzy memory of my graduation party; I immediately remembered how Edward stopped her from talking like this. I elbowed her in the ribs –glad that it was no longer possible for me to bruise from this action- and she rolled her eyes and grinned at the memory. "Well, we're going to be staying here for a week and two days, and then they're gonna catch the killer." She beamed. "Oh, and they're gonna have a problem with the shutter but its ok it won't take long to fix."
We all groaned. It was going to be a long week.
1½ hours later
Carlisle had come and gone and all of the Cullens were currently sitting in a circle drinking blood out of metal flasks, with the exception of Jacob who was sitting there looking at us with a disgusted look on his face. Nessie stuck her tongue at him and when he thought I wasn't looking he licked it. I shuddered and tried to pretend not to notice; also glad that Edward hadn't, I didn't need my son-in-law, ugh, being murdered on the same day as my principal.
"Can everyone please change into their school PE kits? These will be used for nightwear until this lockdown ends."
Well, when she said that she didn't quite mean everyone. Alice passed all the boys pyjama pants and wife beatersand passed all the girls cami-shorts –very short ones mind you- and very tightly fitting tank tops out of the massive bag that Carlisle had brought. The teacher pursed her lips over that. Oh well; it was Alice. I didn't think that a high school teacher would be able to stop her. Heck; not even her family full of vampires; a mind-reader, an ex-army commandant and a supernaturally strong man could stop her when she got in to one of her clothing crazes.
All the boys and girls [A/B/N they got it going on; & when the beat kicks in… etc Lolz; sorry, duckies! I couldn't resist! XD] (about 500 of them- the other half of the school were in the hall instead of the gym) went to the toilets to change. The teachers ended up yelling at us and making a rota of who should go when.
Unfortunately there's a window really high up in the toilets, separating the girls from the boys. There were 20 odd boys in the guys' toilets. Of course all of them were literally standing on the other ones' heads to get a 'view'. That's why I got changed in a classroom along with Rose, Alice and Nessie. The guys got changed next door.
We couldn't be bothered to get in loads of trouble when the teachers caught all of us- ahem- 'getting busy'. What? We may be vampires but we were changed during our teenage years. What d'you expect?
Anyway, after we were changed we met up and headed back to the gym. It was strange seeing massive steel shutters in certain areas, securing the school and preventing anyone from getting in and out. Except for Carlisle. Apparently there is a side door. You'd be amazed how many checks they did to see if he really was who he was. And he was who he was so they let him in.
When we got back to the gym everyone went silent. All the girls were staring at our husbands –we restrained ourselves a lot then- and all the guys were practically drooling over us. Great. (And yeah that was sarcastic).
We all slept, us girls in the same sleeping bag as the guys, to 'keep each other warm' after the teacher felt our freezing skin and our fake shivers, she gritted her teeth and just nodded. It was pretty cold anyway. But I've got to admit, there was a little bit of 'dazzling' involved.
I think the rest of the school just loved us a little bit more because the teacher only realised after she'd let us stay with our guys; that, she now couldn't not let everyone else do the same thing. The look on her face was hilarious.
Well after everyone fell asleep, all the Cullens snuck off out of the side door to get some hunting done. I hadn't hunted in a few days, and if I was going to be cooped up with a load of humans for a week and a bit, I was going to need to hunt.
After sneaking out and quenching our thirsts, we all snuck back in before dawn. We 'woke up' at about six am because we couldn't be bothered to 'sleep' anymore.
We got yelled at to change and then went to the canteen to 'eat'. Back in the gym, we sat around just talking and –for some people-not us- doing homework. What fun.
Like I said- it was going to be a long week.
There ya go! I didn't want to end it on a cliffy, cos I don't rly want to (and i quote) Threaten ur sanity (lolz, thanks reviewer, i love that).
