A/N: I'm really sorry for taking so long to update, I had exams at school and then my Internet stopped working so it hasn't been a great week. Thank you for all the reviews though; they really improved a terrible week. Please read and review.

The moment Edward turned towards me an overpowering scent hit my nose. Venom pooled in my mouth and my body began to tense, ready to fold into a crouch. I immediately turned away from him and tried to get a lungful of clean air to ease the burning in my throat.

Although this helped a little, it did not completely erase to horrific thoughts in my head. I thought of a million ways that I could kill this boy without being noticed. Make him follow me out to the woods and sink my teeth into delicious neck to get to the sweet substance inside.

Even worse thoughts began to fill my mind. I saw images of me taking his life, right here in this very classroom. I didn't care that I was surrounded by innocent children; I would kill them so fast that they wouldn't even notice, and then I would get the blood that was calling out to me.

I pushed all of these thoughts out of my head; the images of all the blood were not helping my thirst. Eventually the burning stopped and the flow of venom ceased. I did not trust myself to relax my posture though. My hands were balled into fists and I was tensing every single muscle in my body.

I saw him peek at me, and then look away rapidly, clearly trying not to draw my attention to him. On one occasion he ran his hand though his hair and this wafted his scent towards me once again. I thought I was going to lose it even after all my hard work.

Every second that passed felt like hours, and I couldn't wait for the lesson to end so I could get away from him and clear my head properly. Or you could lure him to the woods. Damn, I thought I was doing so well, I really have to get out of here.

I heard the bell ring before the humans did and left the room at just over human speed. I didn't care who saw me, I just had to get the hell out of there. I heard Jessica asking Edward something, but it was clearly insignificant so I ignored it.

I went and sat in my truck, and decided that I couldn't face another minute in the school, knowing that he was in there with me. I started the engine of my truck and drove straight to the hospital to see Carlisle. Surely he would know what was happening to me, and what to do.

I arrived in record time; I must have been going faster than I thought. I ran up to the front desk and asked where my father was. The receptionist told me that he was in his office.

I walked straight into Carlisle's office without knocking and he must have been expecting me,

"I heard you coming Bella, is everything alright?" I replied, my voice dripping with sarcasm,

"Oh, I'm fine. I just decided to skip last period and drive at 200mph to come and see you at the hospital! Of course everything's not alright."

"Now there is no need for that tone. I may not be your real father, but you will treat me like it. Now tell me what is going on."

"The new boy arrived today..." Carlisle interrupted me,

"Ah yes, Edward Masen, wasn't it?"

"Yes." I replied, "But it really doesn't matter. The problem is that his blood calls to me. I can't resist drinking it. I nearly killed him in Biology class today! You have to help me."

Carlisle looked as though he was deep in thought.

"I believe that this boy is your singer. A singer is a person whose blood is much more potent to a vampire, than anyone else. It takes a lot of will power to resist that, I am very proud of what you have already achieved."

I thought about this. I remember Emmett once talking about meeting a person whose blood he could not resist. I shuddered to think about how that story ends. Although Emmett had only been a vampire for a decade, he had not built up much will power yet.

"I need to get out of here Carlisle. Go somewhere like Alaska to think for a while, I must decide what to do."

"Of course, you are welcome to take my car; it is much faster than yours. No offence intended".

"None taken." This surprised Carlisle. Normally I was furious at anyone who mocked my truck, or insulted it in any way. This really must have made him realise the intensity of my feelings for he reached into his pocket and threw his car keys at me. I gave him mine, so that he had a way to get home.

"Good luck, I'm sure you will make the right decision. Remember that we will all love you no matter what, we are all your family."

I ran out to the car park and quickly located Carlisle's Mercedes. I got in, started the engine and drove onto the main road leading out of Forks. I began to think of my family and how much it would hurt them if I simply disappeared, like I was now, but it would be too painful to leave if I saw them before I went. I need this time on my own to sort some things out.

I just kept going along. And going. And going. I didn't stop until my green surroundings began to turn white, and I realised that I was entering Alaska. I pulled off the road and got out of the car.

I walked around a few times, stretching my legs, although they didn't need it. I also inhaled very deeply, filling my lungs with clean, fresh air, and exhaling any trace of Edward's scent.

Now that my head has cleared, I realised what a fool I was being. Who was this insignificant little human to drive me away from my family, to tempt me away from the life that I have worked so incredibly hard to live?

I got back in the car and drove back towards Forks, although at a much slower pace as I got over my mad desire to be as far away from home as possible. I reached Forks just before sunset, and my family welcomed me home with open arms. I was met with such comments as,

"Oh, I am so glad that you are back. I was getting really worried about you."

"Where the hell did you go?"

"Do you want to go out hunting?" Everyone responded to Emmett with a glare. Admittedly, he did look sheepish and said,

"Well after the day you've had I thought you could do with it," and I saw the big brother that he had become to me. I realised that everyone here truly cares about me, including Emmett, even when he is teasing me or pulling pranks on everyone. And, to be fair, he did have a point. I probably should hunt a lot more before I return to school. I shouted out,

"Race you," and sprinted out the front door, leaving Emmett standing in my dust, so to speak.
