Isabella speaking.
Ahh, how are you my dear? Settling well?
Yes, why are you calling me? You said--
I know child. Just checking to see how you are.
Well i am fine but why do you send me to Forks?
Child, I trained you for 92 years, do you really think i sent you here for fun?
I suppose not but what is this training? You said you could train me, make me strong. I want to be fierce i want to be.. I dont know i want to different.
Patience Child. For you to be strong you have to be trained, physically AND Emotionally. Goodluck as this is your test. If and when you pass, Volterra will be waiting for your ruling...
-Dial Tone-
But!
Darn it i hate it when he does this. Over the years i wanted to be stronger, i didnt want to be who i was i want to be.. different. Physically, i was perfect i knew every position, every force, every pain. But emotionally? I didnt understand? Why would it matter. I jumped out of bed not wanting to dwell on the past or the test that i dont have a clue about. As i walked into the bathroom i passed the mirror. I didnt make eye contact because i was scared of what to see. I let out a breathe and looked at myself fully. My perfect wavey mahogany hair cascaded down my shoulders and settled half way down my arched back. My lips had a natural pout and my shiny white teeth shone from behind them. My body was curved to perfection and my milky pale skin glowed flawlessly. I then stood staring into my eyes. My usual topaz eyes hidden behind the darkness of my current mood. I slowly dragged myself to the shower to catch a break for my first day of school. Yes, school...
As i stepped out into my room i opened the closet trying to find something 'appropriate' but i still hated shopping. I pulled out a blue tank top along with a denim jacket and skinny jeans with some matching converse shoes. Not caring the state of my hair i grabbed my bag and walked toward my lexis. The black paint shimmered lightly in the lack of light and drove like a beauty. It may be fast but i was still the same slow driver.
As i hopped into the drivers seat i threw my bag onto the front passanger seat meanwhile pulling on some shades. School wasnt for another 4 hours but a little hunt may be appropriate incase my anger gets the better of me. Although i have never tasted human blood i do not know what would happen if i were to simply taste it, although never having it means i cant miss it. As i drove past the roads, each scene wanting to tell me yet another memory threatening to unvail.
As i passed the forest, i gripped my hands tighter on the steering wheel, trying to hold back what im feeling. I stopped breathing for a second just to get a grip on myself. I parked my car a little into the forest to stop followers or curious passer by's. Slowly i paced deeper and deeper into the forest. I stopped to listen to my surroundings, the birds are quiet and i could hear heartbeats. I caught a smell of a deers about half a mile so i ran. My thirst getting worse with each moist beat. My instincts took control as i crouched before leaping to the deer simply lying by the lake.
The sound of the leaves crackled from my paced steps and in half a second it was a full on run. I watched as it ran further into the forest. Excellent. I thought as i began jogging then sprinting as fast as i could. I began to catch up and was running into a clearing, before i could notice my surroundings i tackled the deer and bit it before the blooed cooled. I listened as the heart beat began to fade until it was silent once again.
Near by i could hear water rippling down a stream i decided to clean up a bit incase. I placed my hands in the water and slowly wiped my face trying to gain back my self control. Leaning over the water i saw that my eyes were pitch black but i could see the topaz shimmering behind them.
As i looked around this clearing looked familiar. Something about the way the grass moved and how the tree was positioned. I began to walk to the tree centered in the middle, on the tree was a carving. I was about to touch it when my watch started beeping. I glanced down toward my watch,
7.37am, time for school. I left this clearing and ran back to the car.
As soon as i got into my car i slammed the door and drove to school. I parked across the street hoping to avoid attention while i made my way through the parking lot. Forks high hasnt changed very much as it still looks as it did 92 years ago. The only thing that was different was the new sign saying 'Forks High School' and even that didnt look much different from the old one.
As much as i wanted to be invisable, as soon as i enetered all eyes were on me. Walking through the lot i could hear many heartbeats all testing me to the limit. Tightening my fist i quickly raced to the office wanting to get this all over and done with. I tried not to look at anyone hoping that would so something but its useless. Entering the office I walked up to the front desk where a young receoptionest sat all obsorbed in her paperwork. 'Miss Wilson' tag lay on her desk as a greeting gold plated with bold black writing.
I cleared my throat to signal that someone is waiting and her attention darted straight to me. I gave her a small smile so it prevented me from having to say something I'd regret. My social skills towards humans havent been.. nice. I just stopped caring, i didnt want their opinions.
"H-how may i help you dear?' She asked while clearing her throat a bit.
"Im new, um.. I'm Isabella." I said quietly flasing a small smile. My smile faded immediatly when i realised she was staring. Seconds passed but she seems pretty intent of staying like that. In front of me was a book 'Cool Like The Kid's' I grabbed it in a swift movement and 'accidently' dropped it onto her desk with a loud bang. She instantly straightened up and began ruslting through her papers while making a mess might i add.
"Um.. This is your schedule, and here is a map. Also get your teachers to sign this piece here." She said while switching papers to show me what she ment. I grabbed them, gave a slight smile and wallked out as fast as i could. Okay, i've been here once, finding my classes shouldn't be to hard right? I looked at my map then shoved it in my bag, one look is all i need.
Before i actually go any where i need to know where im going. I opened my timetable and glazed over it.
Home room - Miss Carlton
Period 1 - English
Period 2 - Math
Interval
Period 3 - Food Tech
Lunch
Period 4 - Biology
Period 5 - Gym
"Hi um your new right? I'm Micheal." Looking up i saw a blonde headed boy with a smirk on his face. He also held out a hand for me to shake so i stared at him blanky and he gave in.
"Well, whats your name little miss?" He attempted to ask seductively. Little Miss? What kind of centry is he born in? I cringed at the tone of his voice not wanting to talk or exsist..
"Bella." I replied hoping he'd take my annoyed tone as a sign to leave.
"Bella."He repeated. Shock filled me followed by disgust. I felt the need to go jump on a cliff or get hit by a truck..
"I.. um.. have to go.. Thanks anyways Mitch." I said as i tried to move far away as possible.
"Its Micheal!" He shouted from behind.
"Dont care.." I said quietly to myself.
I entered Period one early so i wouldnt have to face the awkwardness in front of the class or have to introduce myself. Attention is the last thing i could possibly ask for. I took my seat toward the back and leaned against the window while the students poured in. I jumped to the sound of books being slammed beside me and i took a glance to who it was. After that glance i regretted it so much. So so so so much.
"Bella.." He said trying to be macho.
"Mitt.." I said in a sarcastic happy voice but it looked like he took it the other way.
"Its Micheal." He corrected.
"Still dont care.." I mumbled. But before he could reply the english teacher, Mrs Cue, interupped. Thank God... Through out the lesson i tried to pay my attention up front to stop me from wanting to beat Mitch to a pulp. I could feel his eyes on me, i was uncomfortable and if only i could move away some more i would but im currently crammed into it already.
One minute.. One minute i kept telling myself until the bell rang. Time literally slowed down and he kept getting closer and closer. So i 'accidently' shoved his seat so he would fall onto the ground away from me. Of course no one could see how fast i did it, and while everyone was distracted i sneaked out wanting to escape so badly. The bell rang as i was opening my locker, i felt the need to hide in it. Just incase. All these humans talk about useless things. Listening in i could hear..
"Do you think Micheal like, likes me?"
"Omg! He looked at me! Hes sooooo likes me!"
"Jasper? would you like to come shopping with me!! Aww why!?"
Jasper? If i didnt know better i would say that sounded exactly like.. No im just being silly.
I walked away thinking that what ever they were blabbing about, i didnt want to listen too. Making my way to maths was harder then i thought because every door seemed the same. After 5 minutes of walking in circles i found the maths room to be opposite my english class.. Smart... I didnt make it early this time but it wasnt full either and some of the seats were taken. I made my way to the teacher so i could get him to sign my paper. Handing him my pice of paper he seemed depressed to be honest i dont blame him, because maths is quite depressing.
Walking to my desk didnt go so well because i tripped. I may have better eye coordination and all that but my clumsyness seems to have increased aswell. As i stood up i could hear someone laughing.. I turned to see a blonde eating the tip of her pen. I hoped she cokes on it. I let out a breathe trying once again to calm myself, i admit, i may have a bit of an anger problem..
I took the only seat left that happened to be behind little miss blonde. After what seemed to be the longest 15 minutes worth of instructions the teacher finally let us get on with it while he continued marking tests. Looking ahead i saw a little figure sitting next to the blonde girl, what is she insane? I silently giggled knowing no one would hear.
"Ugh like why isnt this stupid thing working!" The blonde shouted while slamming her calculator on the desk.
"Oh calm down Tanya." The little figure replied trying to duck away from people who were within hearing range. Tanya was the blone eh? I always thought that the name tanya reminded me of a rat. Or a racoon, maybe both.
"How can i calm when this thing just wont turn on!" She shouted again. I began to laugh not caring who would hear me and then Tanya turned to me.
"What are you laughing at?" She said while glaring right at me, well trying too. I didnt answer just wanting to push her over the edge a bit so i just smirked. She glared a bit more and turned around. I began to slightly chuckle and she turned around again.
It was then that i noticed she wasnt a human, her perfectly angular face showed that. Usually when your turned your supposedly smarter. I guess Tanya was just unlucky. I smirked at my remark and she threw her calculator at me. I was honestly shocked but with her lack of aim i was more amused.
"What are you laughing at?!" She said in an annoyed voice. I looked at her eyes they were a topaz colour but a bit of red showed. Looks like someone cant control themselves.
I simply replied with a 'hmmm' and simply turned my focus away.
"whatever." She said while turning around and flipping her hair. Buzz. I held my phone to stop anyone noticeing and read the message under the desk.

Isabella,
First test is coming in action. Prove yourself strong emotionally.
Volterra is waiting...
Volterra is waiting? For what? Aro always told me that Volterra is my future. But he never said anything about it. Over the years he's been training me to fight and to be able to use my shield, which i can now expand quite a bit. I am the shield he said, i was to protect those in danger to mind attacks and mind reading. As a newborn i spent hours sometimes days in the castle practising my shield. Once that was monuvered, Aro sent me all places to put it to the test, i went with Heidi and we would put an end to thoses who could not up hold the laws. It was hard to watch but there isnt much i can do, it was what had to be done.
Another loud bang hit the desk and i snapped back into reality.
"Whats wrong with this calculator! I just bought a new one." Tanya yelled, again.
"Maybe you should turn it on." I mumbled to myself knowing extremmely well that she would hear. As soon as she turned around i had all my stuff packed and was heading out the door followed by the ring of the bell. As soon as i exited i made my way to my locker where i wanted to stay for the rest of the day. But unfortunatly that wasnt to happen.
In third period it was food tech, since i came in second semester most classes were booked and i had to resort to these subjects. I had no use for cooking but i suppose i use to love to cook. Today was only theory so i didnt think it was so bad. Sitting down i prepared to be bored to death hoping to get this over and done with.
"Hi your the new girl! Im Jessey.' A blonde headed girl introduced herself while helping herself to the seat next to me.
"Your the talk of the school you know? Its so good to meet you. Whats your name?" She asked while looking very intrested to meeting me. It felt like starting Forks years ago.
"Bella." I said faking a small smile while trying not to face her.
"Nice to meet you, you should like totally hang with us today. Oh my gosh today i totally saw these gorgeous shoes.." She dribbled on but i began to fade out to her blabbering. After one hell of a lesson it was finally lunch meaning it was alomost over thank God. Walking through the halls i didnt feel like sticking around in the cafateria, but there wasnt anywhere to go. Buzz. I must be popular i thought to myself before reading my new message,
Sender: unknown
Isabella, Do NOT leave school, the challenges you face you must overcome. The beginning has just begun.
We're watching.
Scary much. Walking toward the cafeteria i was stopped by non other then..
"Bella!! Its me? remember!" He said looking extremely happy to see me.
"Oh.. hey Mitch.."
"Its Micheal." He said thinking this is a game or something.
"Hmmm, still dont care'" I said mainly to myself but it doesnt seem he heard it.
"Come hang with me girl." Did he just say that? Ugh, isnt he human! Before he noticed i quickly ducked into the cafeteria hoping to avoid... everything. I grabbed a soda and an apple so i didnt look anerexic or anything. Not that i care what they think.. I spottted a table in the far corner that seemed empty so i paced toward it.
"Bella! Its me Jessey! Sit here!" I dreaded turning around but her screaming seemed to bring everyone to attention. I walked toward her table to try stop the cafeteria looking at me but even as i sat down that didnt seem to work.
I was intorduced to everyone but it seemed useless because i really didnt care. The cafeteria went silent so i turned to see what was the commotion. But that was truely something to regret. Everyone watched as five godly figures sat in the very corner. Shock filled my system, but i didnt dare look at.. edward.
"Bella?" I snapped around to see Micheal looking fully on me which made me gag. I replied with a 'hmm' and didnt turn around again.
I felt the need to run out that moment. But i couldnt leave, right? I began to worry, would they know who i was? I hope not..
"So Bella, where'd you transfer from?" Micheal asked while moving closer.
"Yeah like, no one knows anything about you." Jessey said a little too harsh, jealousy crossed her eyes making me realise why shes a bit sour.
"Um.. I was more home know, experience things by myself." I said trying not to let anything slip through, while staring down at my soda and tracing the lid with my thumb.
"Oh." Was all she said a little smug for my liking.
"Well i like the girls who experience things for themselves," Micheal whispered thinking I couldnt hear. I began to get creeped out and moved a little to my left.
I could feel the eyes of someone watching me but was interrupted when Tanya walked in with her pink high heels on. Her fully pink outfit matching her blonde wavey hair. She was beautiful i must admit but the outfit looks more smart then she does. As i turned around i noticed Jessey watching her carefully. She began walking past us and Jessey seemed to admire her.
"Hey Tanya! Your outfit makes you look like a God!" Jessey said while clapping her hands.
"God of stupid." I mumbled mainly to myself.
"I heard that." Tanya retorted with a hint of annoyance.
"Heard what?" I asked innocently while looking up to her. If she could her face it would have turned red but instead she left with a 'humph' and i began to giggle seeming amused with myself. Turning my attention back to Jessey, she seemed.. shocked?
"Whats that face for?" I asked slightly tilting my head.
"Its just.. You just insulted Cullens girlfriend. I mean no one does that." She said quietly, as if they couldnt hear.
"I dont care who her boyfriend is." I said matter-of-factly.
"What! Her Boyfriend happens to be Edward Cullen! I mean hes like the God of this school." She said while admiring the Cullens from afar. Edward? I thought he prefered brunettes.. then again i thought he loved me. Sadness filled me but i pushed it away not wanting someone to know what i was feeling.
"I.. um.. have to go to the bathroom, I'll catch you's later." I said rushing out the door. I hid in the bathroom knowing i had atleast 15 minutes left until class.
I just dont understand, how could he? Is she.. why? I dont.. no i.. Ugh! Anger filled me as i began to lose it. I wanted to run away just get away but i couldnt move, i know i can move. I will fail and i'll be the old Bella. I didnt want that i have worked so hard to get where i am now. So why does this hurt so much? I could feel tears pricking my eyes but it didnt matter because they wouldnt come out..
I heard someone come close to the door so i hid in one of the stalls not wanting to be caught. 'Show no weakness' I thought to myself, one of the laws been given to be by Aro on my first day of training.
"Hello?" I heard a high pitched voice call. I didnt move or breathe hoping whoever it was would just go away.
"Hiding in a bathroom stall isnt the best way to remember your first day," She said quite fast.
"Im not hiding," I said to fast asuming she couldnt hear.
"You are so." She said and giggled. I gasped, crap! she isnt human dammit. Me and my big mouth.. I opened my stall and quickly exited not caring if i was being impolite. The bell rang just that moment and i walked fast down the halls and took a glance behind me to see if i was being followed, therefore making me bump into what felt like a brick wall.
"Woah. Watch where your going silly." I heard someone boom. I began collecting my books and shoved them into my bag.
"Need some help? Oh hey, its the new girl. Im Emmett." He said as i gazed up to see who it was, i didnt look very long at him i just slung my bag over my shoulder and walked a little to fast back to class. By the time i reached class mostly all the seats were taken and i regretted not looking where i was going. I walked up to the teacher and gave him my slip to sign.
"Im sorry but the seats are assigned so you'll have to take a seat next to... Edward." Alright now i really regretted being late. I made my way next to 'Cullen' and sat as far away as i could. Behind me i could hear a growl and a snap of a pencil. I took a glance to see one very jealous Tanya next to Micheal. That was amusing.. As soon as the teacher started talking i started to become impatient, wanting time to hurry. After the teacher gave the instructions i wanted to begin to do my work but i didnt have the exercise book.
"Hi. Im Edward Cullen." I heard him say while holding his hand out. I stared down at it and back at him with a 'What do you want' look.
"Mmm fiesty." I heard him mummble. Followed by a loud growl from behind me. I turned to see Tanya glaring as much as she could at me, making me smile more. Her pain is amusing. She put up her hand making me slightly confused.
"Mister! Bella doesnt have an exercise book, may i go with her to get one?" She asked sweetly and sickly... The teacher looked dumfounded but agreed. here we go..
"Come on Bella" she said while grabbing my arm as hard as she could.
Once we were a while away from the class she pushed me up against the wall.
"Look, whoever you are, stay away from MY man, or else. Got it?" She said through her gritted teeth. I began to laugh at her anger,
"What man?" I replied innocently with a smirk.
"My man. Edward and I are together. So stay away." she said with a little bit of force.
"Oh, wait? That was a boy? Wow, my baaaaad." She began to growl and was about to punch me until i gracefully ran to fast to the office. I entered and asked for my exercise book then thanked her and left.
Outside Tanya waited for me.
"See you after school." She replied. We walked in silence back to the classroom, when the class went dead silent as we entered. I turned to see why but they looked down and continued talking. Weird. As i took my seat Edward turned to me,
"So, What did you say your name was again?" He asked while trying to make eye contact. Knowing me, my eyes would be showing something i didnt want him to see so i distracted myself by looking into my exercise book.
"I didnt, Cullen." I hissed before returning to my work.
"Home schooled huh?" He said sounding content on making conversation. I ignored him or attempted to.
"Do i know you? You seem familiar." He asked while running his hand through his hair.
"Yeah im the one whos gunna rip you head off if you talk to me again." He didnt reply but i did see him saw him smile slightly although it didnt reach his eyes.
During the last 10 minutes Tanya decided to join us, Oh joy.
"Oh Eddie your so adorable." Tanya said sounding.. creepy? I began to snicker as she said this and i could feel her glare.
"Problem?" she asked sweetly. Ahh, another suck up..
"Yes." I replied.
"What is it then?" she asked, clear annoyance showing.
'Why did the blonde climb the glass wall?"
"I dont know." She hissed.
"To see what was on the other side." I said quite amused, while slinging my bag over my shoulder and walking away just as the bell rang.
Looking at my timetable i have gym. I use to dread this but i still do. Holding back isnt so easy because i've been trained to go all or nothing. The coach was nice enough to let me sit out for today since i didnt have appropriate gear. Like i'd need it.. All was good for about three minutes until Micheal entered the gym. Whats with all this bad luck!! Watching them play volleyball wasnt fun what so ever but then again i would probably pop the ball or even slip over.
Through out the game i could see Micheal in the corner of my eye, flexing his 'muscles' and trying to get my attention. I pretended to be very interested in the floor, which to be honest, needs to be cleaned. The forest looks cleaner then this. Looking up i could actually observe the kids my 'age' i saw that Jessey was trying to impress Micheal, that was obvious. I know she doesnt like me, but she reminds me exactly of Jessica. Looking over to the other net Micheal caught my glipse and turned around. The ball was served and Micheal seemed to be running for the ball. But someone got there first and he slammed into net then onto the floor. Everyone gathered around him and the coach sent him to sit out.. next to me...
"You alright Micheal?" I asked hoping he had brain damage and couldnt talk. He nodded. I liked the quiet non-flirtious Micheal. That was until he moved closer. The period ended up to be alright once Micheal gave up on trying to seduce me. He was quiet so i didnt mind that at all. Once the bell rang i quickly left hoping to get away from Micheal so he wouldnt walk me to my car or anything. Passing throught the buildings wasnt so easy, i had to avoid everyone before they had a chance to talk to me.
Outside the rain was about to pour i could hear the thunder rummbling silently. Before i left through the front entrance i was dragged back in by manicured pink nails. Tanya.
"What do you want?" I hissed, wanting to leave so desperatly.
"We have a score to settle." She stated before dragging me to the field.
"Leave me alone Tanya, i have to go, now." Frustration taking over.
When we got to the field the school was almost empty, she let me go and turned to face me.
"Wait until everyone is gone." She demanded.
"Tanya! Dammit We gotta go! I want to leave!" Someone yelled from behind, i turned to see who. Alice.
"Wait." Tanya hissed. Following Alice came Jasper and the rest of the crew.
"Alright lets go." Tanya said taking a pose.
"What? I dont even know what your doing!" I yelled.
"We're gunna fight. If i pin you to the ground for five seconds then you leave. Pack up and leave."
"And if i win?" I asked.
"Pick your reward not that it will do much." She smirked.
"Tanya don't." But was too late, she was already attacking.
I watched her as she leapt, trying to grab any part that will hold me down. With every move she made i observed, watching her pattern. Every punch or hit she would throw i would dodge before she could even perform it. The frustration in her eyes, shes fighting for who she loves. She loves Edward, he loves her. They dont even know me its like i didnt exsist, i felt like i shouldnt exsist. My anger became stronger, the deception only fueled me more. Tanya caught me off guard and i was pinned to the ground, but as soon as i hit the ground i flung her into the air meanwhile waiting to catch her in 3/8's of a second.
As soon as i caught her i pinned her shoulders, watching as she struggled against my power. Five seconds had passed and i saw that she knew that. She refused to move, she had lost.. I grabbed my bag and ran at human pace. As soon as i got into my car i began to speed away, not caring where i was going.
I had won a fight, i should be happy but all i could think of was the look of defeat in her eyes to know she had lost. Usually i would feel, superior but i felt guilt, i felt pain..
Buzz.

Leaving Forks wont solve anything, Your test is still uncomplete..
We are watching Isabella..
Slamming my phone into the seat i turned instantly not caring about slowing down. Who is watching, i cant feel anyone around and how do they know where i am. Im asuming its one of Aro's guards, oh well, they'll get a show. Today didnt go anything how i'd want it, meaning tomorrow will be harder.
