Chapter 2: Forks, my personal Hell Hole
71 years later.
"Attention ladies and gentle men," a voice came out over the intercom. "We will be landing in Port Angeles in five minutes please strap in you seatbelts, thank
you." I couldn't believe they sent me here. Forks. Of all the places they could have sent me, they choose Forks, and to reason with a bunch of Vegie. Nighties.
Well know what, screw them. I refuse to stay more then a week here.
I reached into my carry on for my Book Of Power (A Book Of Power is a book that someone creates by themselves, and is inaccessible to anyone other then the
creator). The cover was black, the pages the darkest purple imaginable, and outlined with silver. (The book appeared blank to anyone who looked at it. No one
could read it, except me that is. I made sure of that. Even my teachers couldn't read it. I would know. I created it.) I placed my hand on the cover and the book
instantly turned to the page I was looking for. The Cullen/Hale family: Consists of Carlisle, the leader, Edward (his first born, for lack of better word, mind reader),
Esme (Second born, wife), Alice (Creator: unknown, seer, Jaspers wife), and Emmett (Rosalie's husband) Cullen. Jasper (Mood controller, Alice's husband), and
Rosalie (Emmett's wife).
Seven total. Not bad. They seem like nice people, well if you could consider being a vampyre nice. We landed with a slight bump. I sighed and put away my
book.
This was going to be a long week.
When I stepped outside the air port I realized that I hadn't arranged for transportation. So I chose the next best thing. Invisible Flying. I loved it. Of course
there was visible flying, but I really don't think that the people in Washington are ready for that just yet.
I smiled. It was at times like this that ya gotta love being able to conjure just about anything you want. Meaning that I had no luggage. I looked around for an
unoccupied alley or something where people wouldn't see me just disappear.
After hours of searching my feet were starting to kill me. I wish I had conjured my boots instead of these high heels. They were killing my feet, and I couldn't
just conjure new shoes without someone noticing. I sighed.
Then it hit me. The Bathroom! Why hadn't I thought of that before! I'm so stupid. Walking into the nearest restaurant I quickly spotted the bathroom. It had a
huge window. Perfect. I checked the stalls to see if anyone was inside the bathroom. Empty. Things were running smoothly.
First things first. I changed my high heels to black leather boots, then I changed my shirt so that my wings had room to come out. Then I disappeared. Simple as
that. Opening the window I had to press my wings incredibly close to my body just so I could fit out the window.
But that wasn't the worse part. The worst part of it is, is that as I was just slipping out the window some one decided that they wanted to do a make up check, and
that the wind wasn't good for their hair. So they came over to the window and slammed I shut, yanking out one of my feathers in the process. It hurt like hell.
No one does that to me! Glaring I made up a spell that would give her pimples.
"So beauty out,
So ugly in,
Make your personality
Match your skin"
I chanted this over and over in my mind so I wouldn't be exposed. I kept going until I saw her face break out. I made a mental note to add that spell in my BOP
later. When she saw her face she shrieked. It took all my self-restraint to not burst out laughing and expose myself. Though as hard as I tried I couldn't keep the
smile off my face. It was too funny. Shaking my head in amusement I flew away to the house David (one of the guys from prologue) had rented for me. Over the
years David and the others had become like brothers to me. Renee and Phil, I never saw again after that day.
Apparently I was old enough to take care of myself. She and Phil had eloped 71 years ago, and she never even sent me a stinking postcard or some clue as to
where she was. So I decided 'screw it' and they became my family. I was content with that. I was no longer called Isabella or Bella Swan anymore. I had done away
with the name twenty years after my mom left, finally realizing that she was never going to come back and get me. I now went by Alexandrite, or Alex Moonstone.
Moonstone had many magyckal properties. A name perfectly suited for some one such as myself. Whatever I am, I thought.
Arriving at the house I saw it had two bed rooms, a living room, bathroom, and a kitchen. It even had a forest in the back. Sweet. I was totally secluded. I loved
this house but something was missing. It was empty of emotion. Just like me, but for some reason, I didn't want this house like that. I rubbed my hands together.
"Time to decorate." I told myself. I would use my fave. colors. Red, Black, Silver, and Dark Purple. I liked these colors because they were a part of me. I had
changed over the years. My hair had added silver streaks where the purple so the front part of my hair was now purple and silver. And my eyes. They had gone
from Dark Purple and Red. To Dark Purple with Black, Red, and Silver specks. I remember when I had looked in the mirror 50 years ago and found my changes.
Flash Back:
I climbed through the window, coming in late from slaying some of the more……annoying Vampyres. Well. There were some shape shifters, and werewolves
too. Despicable. Werewolves and Vampyres are mortal, for lack of better word, enemies. They never work together.
I had gotten beaten up pretty bad because I hadn't expected the guest that they would be having. I was outnumbered 50:1. Really bad odds. I was bleeding in
many places, and I would have to heal myself later when I regain the energy. Pain shot through my leg as I walked over to the mirror. I ignored the pain as I had
been taught. All was going well, until I reached the mirror. I looked up to stock the damage and gasped. I knew that it was going to be bad, but I didn't know it
would affect the way look. After looking the same for twenty years a change like this was big and bad. So bad I screamed. "I'm hideous!" I sobbed.
"Bella!"
"Bella!"
"Bella!"
"Bella!"
"Bella!" I heard five voices resounded throughout the Victorian styled house. My guardian's footsteps could be heard flying up the steps towards the top floor.
Realizing what was going to happen I locked the door magyckally of course, but it no good. I was too weak to do much. So I opted for the next best thing.
Verbal warnings. "Stay Out!" I yelled just as they were about to pound on the door.
"Bella what's wrong!" shouted William/Will.
"Nothing! Just Leave! Me! Alone!" I cried choking back a sob.
"Bella! We're coming in!" That was Sean. I needed to get out before they saw me. I hobbled over to the window and jumped out. When I looked down I could
see Zachary/Zach, and David were already waiting to catch me. 'Crap' was the only thing that came to mind. David caught me once I was in arms reach.
"Damn Bella! What did you do to yourself!" He asked in half amusement and half concern. That's when I broke down and strait out cried. I couldn't take it
anymore. The pain all over my body the shock from my new appearance. It was too much.
He carried me inside to all the others. They all stared in shock and I cried my eyes dry. It was Zach who finally broke the silence. "So Bella. What's with the
new look?" he joked. The others glared at him.
"I don't know," I said my voice hoarse from crying. "I got back and this is what I looked like." He hugged me.
"Bells. Honestly. You're so shallow sometimes," he smiled.
"But you guys said that my appearance couldn't change. I thought I was morphing into some kind of freak." I paused. "Well. A bigger freak then I am now."
They all smiled at this.
"Don't worry about it Bella," Will said. "Your body will go through only two changes. This is your second change. Your body will not be able to make anymore
changes after this. I did not think that it would be this soon."
"Well. You need a new name now." Sean said. " What's your pleasure?"
"Ummm. My birth stone is Alexandrite, and I always thought the name was cool, and I dunno about a last name. You guys gimme a suggestion."
"I vote that it has something to do with space. You were always kind of spacey Bel-Alex." David snickered. I punched him. This was making me feel a lot better.
"Uh. My Fave. Planet is the Moon. But that would sound weird if Moon was my last name."
"Well. You're named after a stone right? So why not MoonStone?" Will suggested.
"I agree with Will." Sean said. The others nodded. I sighed.
"Alexandrite MoonStone it is." I said.
End Flash Back
I closed my eyes. 'Black' I thought. 'Paint the walls Black' I opened my eyes and it was done. Now. What to decorate it with. Ah! Curtains. 'Red, I want Blood
red curtains. Satin, Silk, and Velvet. Three layer curtains.' I was satisfied to see that I was almost done. What now. Oh, right. I couldn't very well leave the walls,
and curtains blank now could I? Curtains first. 'I want silver roses and vines embroidered in the curtains.' I didn't even check to see what the out come would be.
Walls. 'I want the whole planetary system painted on the walls. Up to every last detail.' I smiled because I could feel it being done. Since I had nothing to unpack I
figured I would update my BOP. I needed to add that new spell anyway.
I spent the next few hours adding little homing touches to the rest of the house. By the time I finished it was only 12:00 P.M. Time for lunch. What did I want to
eat? "Hmmmmm." I said aloud. "I feel like Chinese, I haven't cooked to in a while though." I didn't want to use my magyck or else something will notice I'm here.
I opted to make a sandwich and go check out the school. When I walked outside to find a nice, and I mean nice , car. It was like a Jag. Or something. Hey I'm
not a car lover. Climbing inside I saw the keys were in ignition with a note attached. 'We thought you might need this, stupid. –Guys' I laughed at their bluntness.
I drove extremely fast to the school which was easy enough to find. Considering the fact that you'd have to be blind to miss that huge sign that said
"WELCOME TO FORKS HIGH"
Sometimes I think that nature hates me. Once I got out of the car it starting raining golf balls. I know what you're thinking. 'Why doesn't she just control the
weather?' Well. I'll tell you. I don't control the weather because weather is a very defiant spirit. Or should I say sprits.
I ran into the cover of the office to finish registering. Why am I registering you ask? I have to go o school to keep out suspicion. Plus it would be boring to stay at
home all day.
I saw a lady (does anyone know what the secretary's' name is?) a desk reading a romance novel. Her stray thoughts wandered into my mind. Actually. It was a
mind video of the book, and I have to say. This lady is perverted. I decided to interrupt her before I gagged. "Ummmm. Excuse me? I'm here to pick up my
schedule for tomorrow."
The lady looked up. "You must be Ms. Alexandrite-"
"-Alex" I corrected. She stared.
"Right. Here. Tomorrow you have all your teachers sign this paper, and return it to me after school. You may use the rest of the day to tour the school, or you
may go home." I nodded. Took the papers fro her hands, and left. Walking outside I decided to go to the cafeteria. I hadn't gotten my Chinese, but cafe. food is as
good as any. Oh. Just so you know. I don't have to eat. It's just a fun habit.
One thing I didn't expect when I opened the door was the sudden silence. 'Who is that?' "Is that the new girl?' 'Damn, she's hot'. Stray thoughts hit my head at
once. Suddenly I didn't want food anymore. Mechanically I walked toward the lunch line to get a soda.
I was looking around for somewhere to sit when I first lay my eyes on them. Well. More like him. Edward.
