Chaper 2
Bella felt really uncomfortable. People stared as she and her cousins made their way down the hallway of Forks High School. Evie wasn't helping much…They're just curious about usshe said with a grimaced.
The students here were reallycurious about them thought Bella to herself.
Whyasked Bella as she and Evie headed to the cafeteria or lunched accompanied by a few new classmates; Jessica something, a really talkative boy Mike Newton was his name, and Angela who was liked by both Bella and Evie.
It appears we are not the only 'pale' students here. The moment we arrived they were already comparing us to another family…the Cullens.
Bella frowned. We're freaks! She joked.
Their unusual paleness came from a fae heritage from a long time ago. The fae blood made them immortal, though they had mortal blood lowing in their veins, and made them quite good looking too.
But having fae blood had a bad side too. It meant that they had to oblige by the fae counsel, and its rules as well as put up with their ancestor who still visited them once in a while. Sometimes they would take part in the the council as well.
That's weird…though Bella Can you see these Cullens in their minds?
Yes replied Evie darkly. She placed an image of the Cullens sitting at the lunch table. Bella saw in her mind the five most beautiful people; a long haired blond, a huge dark haired man, a small pixie-like dark haired girl, a blond guy with a pained expression and then there was him…a god like creature, Bella wondered who he was, and why this feeling of protecting him came over her as she stared into his face.
Wowwas all Bella said.
Yes wow indeed,said Evie, They are unbelievably good looking, something in just not quite right…we'll have to be on our guard with these Cullens Bella,said Evie as though she knew Bella's emotions about that particular Cullen.
Bella felt blood rush to her cheeks. I've sent the image to Jeanne and Dom, they'll be on their guard,continued Evie.
Are we all sitting together for lunch?Asked Bella, all too eager to change the topic.
Evie moved her head slightly, indicating a nod. She then turned to Angela and answered her.
Weird thought Bella to her herself. She hadn't noticed that the others were talking. It a good thing Evie was a mind reader.
They took a turned and entered the cafeteria and spotted Jeanne and Dom sitting at a table by themselves with a clear view of the Cullens' table.
Bella and Evie made excuses to Angela, Jessica, and Mike, and headed to the table.
"Hey guys," greeted Bella, and Evie in unison.
"How was your first day?' asked Evie.
Dom cringed, "It was okay but gosh everyone is all nutters bout me accent,"
Evie shared his pain, "Yes I know," she gave him a smile, "Perhaps in a day or two they'll get over it,
They made their conversation normal,but their internal conversation that was taking place was far from normal.
Any sign of them yet?Asked Evie.
Nope, but get this yea…it seems that the Cullens are all adopted,said Dom a little too gleefully.
Both Bella and Evie frowned inwardly.
I don't get it…why are you so worked up by this?Asked Bella.
She could almost see him grin broadly but of course there wasn't a grin on his ace.
They're all togethersaid Jeanne.
Ooi! That was the best part!Complained Dom. I wanted to tell them!
Yeah…well get over it replied Jeanne.
They're all together…?Asked Evie.
Yeah… just in time, the Cullens arrived.
Okay you see that blond bird…that's Rosalie and she is with that huge guy called Emmett.Said Dom.
Wicked!Said Evie as they watched Rosalie and Emmett move gracefully to their table.
Right, the next couple…said Jeanne that dark haired girl is Alice and she is with that guy with the pained expression, Jasper.
Drum roll pleasesaid Dom the last Cullen…that's Edward Cullen. Unlike his other 'siblings' he isn't with anyone…not even the most popular girl in girl in secondary oops sorry high school could interest him.
There is something strange about them,said Evie with a frown.
Can you get anything off them?She asked Jeanne.
They move really gracefully,commented Bella biting in to her apple.
Yea... Its really unnaturalsaid Dom darkly, staring at the Cullens discreetly. They're not even eating.
Jeanne? Asked Evie.
They're hungry,she frowned No hungry isn't the right word, they're...her eyes widened. Thirsty.
Bella dropped her apple.
