Bella's POV

"Humph, new vampires," I said to myself. "Bella," Luis hissed at vampire speed. I looked up at him, taking my mind away from the new vampires. "What?" I asked him. He nodded at the receptionist, who was on the phone. "Oh," I smacked myself on the forehead. "Sorry," I said to him. He rolled his eyes. "We'll talk about it later," He said in the same harsh tone.

"How may I help you?" Asked the new secretary. I looked at her name tag. "Hi Mrs. Brown, my family and I didn't receive our schedules," I told her. Clumsy humans. "Oh, there was a mix up. You are returning students correct?" I nodded. "Im Bella King, and these are my brother: Luis and Joseph King." I point at the two boys on my left. "We are the Taylor's," Mark told her. "Im Mark and that's my twin sister Sarah," He pointed out at the blonde.

Mrs. Brown began to look through the piles of unorganized papers on her desk. She looked frustrated and worried. "Sorry, Im new here," She said still looking at the papers. Obviously. I sighed. We never had this problem with Mrs. Cope. "Here they are!" She sighed in relieved. Good. You don't want to piss five vampires off.

"Thank you," I said warmly and took the schedules from her hands. My family followed me back out the door. I stared back at the direction where the new Students were parked but they were gone. "Their left," I said flustered. "What is with you?" Luis asked. I shrugged. I handed each of them their schedules. "Argh, History," I sighed. "I was there during the Civil war, it wasn't that amazing," Mark laughed at himself. "Yeah," I rolled my eyes. "I have to go," I told them. "What the bell hasn't rung yet," Mark said. "I want to get a good seat," I lied to him. "Meet us at the same Lunch table as always Bella-" Luis heaved a sigh. "And please, don't go hunting or running around anywhere else. It's hard to find you when you disappear. You are such a libertine," I laughed. "Yes Sir," I saluted him.

I grabbed my skateboard and rode it to Building Four. It took me a minute to get to my First period. Skateboard +vampire speed No tardy slips. Thank you Nathan King! The classroom was vacant. Not even the teacher was present. I walked, in human pace, to the far seat in the back. Next to the window. Gosh, if Nathan King actually loved me he wouldn't allow Lauren Mallory to flash her fake nose around here. That's the way to ruin a morning.

"King," I huffed. Clever last name. It had a double meaning to me. One: For the guy who loved me until his last moment. Two: For the scum that murdered my sister…..

Flashback

"Please Kill me!" I managed to scream out from the pain. I was in a black abyss. There was no light. I didn't even hear Nathan's screams of pain anymore. Was I dying? Or was I already dead? I couldn't see those red eyes anymore. Or the beautiful golden one's that knocked that monster who caused me all the pain I was in, off me. There was nothing. I was just in a black pitched room. Trying hard to find my way out of the pain that filled it. And then the sharp pained hit me again.

"Please! Have mercy!" I yelled. I was on fire. Everything was burning. I felt the flames in my body. They were burning every inch of me. Every organ. Every tissue, every muscle was on blaze. I yelled and yelled but no one ever came. I felt like I was being burned alive, but the fire wasn't visible. The fire wasn't on the outside.. There was a sense of never ending agony in my screams. No one helped me. They were letting the fire turn me to ash from the inside. It felt like venom was gushing from within me. Destroying any vital thing it could find. It seemed that the burning was going on forever. I cant remember when the fire started. Was this Hell? Was I burning in damnation because of my selfishness? Was this the way to punish me for disobeying my father. No! I cant be dead. Rosalie needed me.-My heart banged against my chest. But this time the pain overwhelmed the fire. Rosalie was gone.

My screams, were still being ignored. I was alone, but I sensed someone was watching me. Surely someone could exterminate me now. Someone needed to take me out of my misery. My screams, by begging went unnoticed. Did Royce come back for me? After defying him and attacking him in public street, his reputation was surely being gossiped about. I accused him of murder, and now he was silencing me. What about Nathan? Would he really hurt his brother to keep his secret silent? Did Rosalie go through all this pain as well? I hope her passing was peaceful unlike mine.

The fire burned me in what like seemed forever. Nothing ever changed. I was starting to feel numb from the pain. I felt it fading away promptly. I was surely dying now. If the pain was fading, I must be becoming extinct. The fire seemed to distinguish from every part of my body except my heart. I could feel the flames there, burning every piece of it. My heart beat louder than I ever heard it, but every second it seemed to slow. Little by little the last flame that reside in my heart began to extinguish and before I knew it, I was dead.

"Isabella Hale?" A chiming voice called me. My eyes snapped open involuntary. Topaz eyes were staring back at me. They weren't the golden eyes I had seen before I was drenched in flames. "Am I dead?" I asked the first foolish question that came to my head. "No," The voice spoke again. "Who are you then?" I asked, I was confused. I thought I was dead. "I'm Luis Taylor," He said kindly. "Nice to meet you Sir," I said curtly. At least I had my manners.

"If Im not dead, what happened to me?" I asked Luis. "Isabella-" He sighed. "Child, Do you believe in mythical creatures ?" He asked me. There was a concerned expression on his beautiful pale face. I looked back at him, still slightly puzzled. What did supernatural beings and creatures have to do with this? "I guess," I trailed off. I was a dreamer, I had a wild imagination.

"Like werewolves? Sure," I continued, as he didn't speak. He gave a small chuckle. "Well almost, although those are real too. Children of the moon," He said. I stared at him quizzically. "Forgive me Mr. Taylor but I'm not following," I said. Was the creature with evil red tint eyes a werewolf? "The person who attacked you Isabella, was a-" He paused. "He is a Vampire." He looked intensively at me. "You're a vampire," He said, before I could say anything. "Oh," For some reason I believed him. Why else would the monster have attacked me on my neck?

"How did you find me?" I asked him. His eye went wide.. "That's it? Your not going to interrogate me?" He asked. "Should I?" I replied. "I like you Isabella," He laughed. "Tell me Sir, how did you find me?" I asked once more. He sighed. "I found you in Golden Field. I was hunting, and I smelled you. Your smell was different from anything I have encountered. It was a cross between a human and one of us. Of course your human scent was fading away, So I took a guess to say you were in mid transformation." He cleared my question.

"Mainly I heard you scream, luckily I found you. I brought you here, with my Mate Sarah," He pointed to a white door. For the first time I noticed my surrounding. I was in a white room. The door burst open and inside came in a tall blonde. "Hello Isabella, pleasure to meet you," She smiled. "Hello Ma'am," I said as warmly as I could. "What's with the formalities? Your making me feel old," She laughed.

"Well you are two hundred years old," Another voice said from the door said. I turned and saw a another male, but he looked almost like Sarah, exactly as pale and fair-haired. Instinctively, I crouched into a fighting pose. "Easy Isabella," Luis tried calming me down. "Whoa feisty," The vampire said. "I like her," He smiled at me. "Isabella, this is our brother. Mark." He said gesturing to the blonde male. "Oh," I repositioned myself.

"Were you successful?" Luis asked Mark. "Yes, it wasn't an easy task Brother. Apparently they were searching for the boy. It was hard to dispose of the body," He explained to Luis. "What body?" I asked curiously. "There was a boy with you Isabella, when I found you. Unluckily for him, the vampire that bit the both of you, Killed him." I stiffened. "Nathan?" I asked. "Yes, Nathan King," He replied. "Im sorry Isabella, I tried saving him, but his body no longer showed signs of life." He said softly. I nodded. "Royce King is having a fit." Mark began, I turned to look at him. "Royce?," I hissed.

"What is the matter?" Sarah asked. "Royce King murdered my sister," I murmured. "Sibling for a sibling," Mark said. "No," I growled at him. "I loved Nathan, nothing more than a friend of course, a relationship with him would have never worked out anyways. I was never the one to be obedient for what my Father wanted," I confessed. "Although making him a King, I was naturally disgusted. But he had a good heart," I sighed. "I am so terribly sorry for his Loss, I would have been pleased to journey a new life with him. As my loyal friend." I told them.

They looked at me with pity. I didn't want them to feel sorry for me. "So what perks come with being a vampire?" I asked them, switching the subject. "Do I have to stay away form garlic?" I asked. They laughed lightly, still afraid to sound to o happy. "Well we have super strength, speed, and Sarah's favorite-" "Inhumanly beauty," She smiled. I laughed. "Goodie at least I'll me fair looking now," I said to them. "You were beautiful before you changed," Sarah said shockingly. "Im sure you looked like a porcelain doll before you were transformed," I told her. She just smirked. Compliments were good for her.

"We are Immortal Bella," Mark said. "What?" I asked him. "We can live forever," He simplified it. "No," I rolled my eyes. "I mean, what did you just name me?" He smiled. "Bella?" Luis contemplated the name. "Well Isabella is too proper, and besides Bella means beautiful in Italian. It suits you better," He smiled a gorgeous smile. I felt the need to blush. "Thank you," I said. "No problem Bella," He said.

"Im guessing I cant go back to my father then?" I looked at Luis. "I'm afraid not. You wouldn't age Bella. We live for eternity. And besides the thirst-" He stopped. "Which reminds me, do you have a burning sensation in the back of your throat?" He asked. I stood silent, trying to feel my new vampire form. "Nope," I said to him. "Are you sure?" He asked curiously. "Yes ,…Why?" I asked him. "Well all newborns are crazed for blood, especially human blood," He said. "Um, then Im not a very good newborn," I said to him. "This is rare," He looked at his brother and mate Sarah. "We must keep an eye on you if anything changes further on," He added.

"Excuse me?" I looked at them. "Does that mean Im allowed to travel with you?" I really didn't want to be alone. I had no one else. Not Nathan. And not my beloved Sister. "Of course Darling!" Sarah took my hand. "We would be delighted if you may join us," Mark and Luis nodded eagerly. "Thank you so much. Bless you three," I smiled at them.

"We might need to alter your name Isabella," Luis said. "Isabella Hale is too recognized. Your Father is a very powerful man, and not to mention that the whole town new who your family was. The King's don't interact with uncommon people after all," Sarah said. "Well…" I paused for a moment. So Isabella Hale did die, in the end. I stared back at my new family. They looked like royalty. Beautiful creatures they were. And the humblest of them all. "King." I said. "Bella King,"

End Of Flashback.

"Excuse me!" Someone shook my arm roughly. I picked my head up from the desk. "Do you mind if I seat here?" My eyes stared back at the golden ones.
