THE NEW GUY

Yay me...it's a Saturday and I have to work. Not that I have anything better to do but I would like to relax sooner or later. And then to top it all off I have to wear black short-shorts and a hot pink tight top because it's the weekend.

The morning was a bore, only three people came in. I didn't have to work the lunch shift so I just went home to relax 'til about 5p.m., when I have to go back. (I have to work the night shift with Sookie.........and of course Sam). After my alarm went off (it scared me out of a dream) I redid my hair and make-up real quick and headed to work....again.

The first few hours of work were boring then an hour after the sun went down the towns first vampire came in.
"Hey Bella can you go help out that customer?" Sam saw him before me.
"Yeah sure."
"Hey Bella heads up he's a vamp."
Sookie tried to warn me but I already knew because unlike Sam and Sookie I have experience with vamps. And still to this day, four and a half years later, no one knows about my friendship with the Cullens.

"Hi I'm Bella. Can I get you a True Blood?"
"Yes please and I'm Bill."
"I'll be right back."
"As soon as I walked away I saw Sam and Sookie starring at me.
"What?"
"He is watching you." Sookie said.
"Sam hand me a True Blood."
"Good thing I stocked up last month."
"Yup."
"No seriously Bella look." Sookie said.

As I turned around I saw Bill's eyes on me. Then (maybe when he realized I had turned around) he looked me dead in the eyes and smiled.
"Here Bella." Sam said handing me the True Blood.
"Thanks. And Sookie don't think anything of him looking at me."
"OK, OK I won't....this time."
"Sheesh."
"What?"
"Nothing Sookie."

As soon as I walked away I heard Sam start flirting with Sookie. It was pretty funny actually.
"Here's your True Blood."
"Thanks."
"Have a good night and let me know if you need another True Blood."
"OK."

When I walked away I could feel Bill's eyes on me this time.
"Wow Bella." Sookie said.
"What?"
"You must be really interesting when you serve True Bloods."
"Why?"
" 'Cuz your being watched."
"OK then. Well I'm gonna go do some stocking for a few."
"OK."

When I walked into the back I ran into Sam. He was cleaning the kitchen area.
"Hey Sam."
"Hey."
"Hey what's up with you and Sookie?"
"Uh....what are you talking about?"
"Nothing....never mind."
"OK....anyway what are you doing back here?"
"I'm going to do some stocking for a few."
"OK."

I was fixing out stock for about an hour when Sookie came in and told me that Bill wanted to talk to me.
"Tell him I'll be right there."
"OK."

I finished stocking the last box and went out to talk to Bill. As soon as he saw me walking towards him he smiled.
"Bella, please sit?"
As soon as he asked me to sit a group of vampires came in and sat in my section.
"Uh...one minute."

I walked over to the vampires and recognized three of them, they were Aro, Caius, and Marcus, I recognized them from the painting in Carlisle's office. I'm shocked I remember their names. It's been so long ago.
"Can I get you anything?"
"Four True Bloods please."
"Coming up. I'll be right back."

I went and got the True Bloods and took them to the table. The one that I was guessing was Aro touched my hand when he tried to take one of the True Bloods I offered to him, and he got a confused look on his face.
"Thanks." He said still confused.
"Your welcome. Let me know if you need anything."
"OK."

As I walked away I heard him say something about not being able to see my thoughts when our hands touched. I figured he was like Edward and be able to read minds (which he couldn't do either 'cuz my mind is blocked). I shrugged the old thoughts away and walked back to Bill.

"OK so what did you need?"
"Well for one obviously I'm not the only vampire in town anymore."
"They are new too. I've never seen them. Plus I'm guessing we will see more vampires here rather any other place in town."
"Why is that?"
"We are one of the two places that carry True Blood. The second is the grocery store."
"Oh...I see."
"So what else did you need?"
"I wanted to know if I could walk you home?"
"Well I get off quite late and I'll be tired and not much fun to talk to."
"OK well maybe another time."
"OK."
I got up and walked back to where Sookie and Sam were talking (aka the counter/bar).

"Dang one vamp comes to town and it's like they attract more." Quil said.
"And they all seem to like Bella's area." Sookie threw in.
"So?"
"It's kinda weird."
"Oh well."
When I turned around to see if anyone needed anything the guy I thought was Aro was right there.
"Oh...Can I get you something?"
"Four more True Bloods please."
"Sure."

I grabbed the True Bloods and started towards the table again.
"No, no I can take them. By the way do you know of a good hotel?"
"OK...and there is a nice place just a few blocks down."
"Thanks. By the way I'm Aro."
Wow I was right what a shocker.
He held out his hand for me to shake and I shook it not even surprised by the cold because I remember and it never bothered me.
"I'm Bella."
"Nice to meet you."
"You too."

When Aro walked away I turned around to see Sam and Sookie starring at me with their eyes practically bugging out of their heads.
"What?"
"I officially think you attract vampires." Sookie said.
"OK...sure."

ALICE'S POV

An hour ago I had a vision of Bella getting turned into a vampire that can only come out at night. And half a second ago I had a vision of Bella getting turned into a vampire like us by Aro.
"Alice why do you keep seeing Bella?" Edward asked panicked.
"I don't know this is the first time since two weeks after the phone call."
"Alice what's going on?" Esme asked.
"I've had two visions of Bella."
"About what?" Carlisle asked.
"Her getting turned into a vampire. One with Aro. And one with some guy named Bill."
"Aro?"
"Yes and I'm extremely worried but Edward won't let me go."
"I don't want to ruin her life."
"She is going to be one of us no matter what."
"How do we know the Bill guy isn't someone she loves or something?"
"By the way my visions show it she looks like she is surprised and not in love but scared."
"OK so we need to warn her and quick." Emmett said.
"I agree Rosalie said."
"Me too." Esme agreed.
"And me." Carlisle said.
"Edward we have to." Jasper said.
"I know but what if we hurt her by us being there?"
Edward I was her best friend. I will talk to her."
"Fine we'll go bu if Aro touches her he'll be dead."
"Edward calm down." Carlisle said.
"No!! Dammit Jasper stop trying to calm me!!"
"Fine."
"So we're going?"
"Yes...everyone pack." Carlisle answered.
"Yay!!"
"Esme can you pack for me I'm gonna try to get us a house."
"Yes of course."
"Alice where are we going exactly?" Rose asked.
"Carson City, Nevada."
"Just like Bella to go somewhere warm." Emmett said."
"Of course." Edward said.
"I'll get the cars ready." Jasper offered.

I've missed Bella so much. And from my visions she obviously still isn''t into fashion.

BELLA'S POV

"Aye it's like midnight let's close up and go home." Sam said.
"K."

Aro and them left awhile ago and Bill left a little while before them. I just got done cleaning the tables and have nothing else to do.

"Hey I'm leaving I'm done with the tables."
"K goodnight." Sam said.
"Goodnight." Sookie said.
"Goodnight."

When I walked outside it was like insta-freeze, it was freezing outside and I'm still in my short-shorts and my hot pink top. Tonight was strange the four vampires from earlier were down the street looking towards the diner almost as if they were waiting for something. Aro looked right at me then and smiled, then they started walking towards me. I turned and walked towards my condo and they slowly but surely followed me. Then out of the blue there were another set of footsteps directly behind me.

"Bella!" It sounded like Bill.
I turned around and just as I thought it was Bill.
"Hey Bill." As soon as Bill had said my name Aro and his friends stopped walking towards me and started talking.
"Do you mind if I walk with you?"
"Not at all."
"Thanks."
"No problem. So how many people have come up to you and asked about what it's like to be a vamp?"
"Maybe the whole town."
"Considering you were our first it doesn't shock me."
"Bella, why are you so comfortable around me? Not meaning to pry but I just noticed it."
The truth about my friendship with the vampires was sure to come out sooner or later.
"Well I am comfortable around vamps."
"How? Didn't you say I was the first in town ?"
"You are. But I didn't say you were the first for me."
"True."
"Would you like to know the story on why I'm so comfortable?"
"Yes please if you don't mind."

By this time we were in front of my two story condo.
"Then why don't you come in 'cuz it's a long story."
"Oh...OK."
We went inside and I didn't have any True Blood so Bill went to get some from the store and was back in about five minutes. When he came back I opened the door for him but he just stood there.

"Bella you have to invite me in."
"Oh...sorry I'm not used to that....will you come in?"
"Thank you."
"Here I'll put the True Bloods in the fridge for you."
"OK."
I put the True Bloods away and went back to the living room were Bill was.
"Make yourself at home."
"OK thank you."

After that I told Bill the long story about how I was completely in love with Edward and how they left and why I'm so comfortable around vamps even though I haven't been around them in over four years.
"Well he was very stupid to leave such a beautiful person behind and never even make a little bit of contact."
"Well thanks for the complement."
"Your welcome."
"So what about now?"
"What do you mean?"
"What did you do when you came here?"
"Well I was upset for awhile but Sookie helped with that. Then I went into gymnastics (I do mini shows during the week every now and again to bring in customers) and just been living life one day at a time and yeah I think about the Cullens every once in awhile."
"Did it upset you to know that vampires were able to come out of the dark and be known for what they were?"
"For a little while I hoped that they would come back and find me but then I remembered that he said he didn't love me and just went back to living life. So yeah I was upset in the beginning."
"Oh."
"Anyway tell me about you I feel like I've been talking like crazy."
"OK."

After the Cullen discussion we told each other about ourselves and Bill told me about how there are some humans that follow vamps and offer themselves as blood donors basically.
"That is just weird."
"I agree. I just had someone ask me last week if they could follow me and when I said no they looked so disappointed."
"Wow."
"So what kind a vampire are you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you come out in the day or just at night?"
"Just at night......sunlight will kill me."
"I never knew there were vampires that were like what movies say. And I'm guessing the Cullens didn't either 'cuz they would have told me."
"Most vampires didn't know we existed."
"It must suck to never be able to see the sun."
"Not really ever since I was a child I liked the dark."
"I only like the dark here because you can see the stars but other than that I love the sun."
"Speaking of sunlight I should go."
"Why what time is it?"
"Almost four a.m. and the sun will be up soon."
"Oh OK. Well I'll see you tomorrow night then."
"OK."
"Goodbye."
"Good morning Bella."
"Goodnight Bill."
We laughed as we walked to the door.
"I'll see you tonight Bella."
"See you then."

After Bill left I only had a little while to sleep so I set my alarm and went to sleep for a few hours.
The dream I had was strange it was Edward and Bill fighting....over me. When I woke up I was so confused about why I had a dream with Edward in it.

ALICE'S POV

"The cars are ready." Jasper yelled.
"The clothes are in the cars?"
"Yes Alice." Esme said.
"It's gonna be weird to see Bella again....and so many years later." Carlisle said.
"Yes it is." Edward agreed.
"Well it's a two day drive."
"Well let's go then." Emmett said.
