Chapter 11 Tension rises

Bella's POV

It had been a couple of days since my family had found out about the Cullen's that first day of school, and I could tell they were having a hard time with it. But they kept their promise to not let this come between us. I really wanted to talk to someone about everything, and I kept thinking about Edward and how he said I could trust him. But since the arrival of my family, I didn't have the time to talk to Edward.

We all shared a knowing glance, knowing it was our once cherished pass times.

We ran for what could have been hours. The wind whipped viciously behind us and the ground lead way to the adventures before us. We'd jokingly trip each other, in hopes the other would lose the race that was never even official. I let my feet carry me away with the sounds of my families footsteps. . . that was until we heard the unfamiliar pitter patter of feet that didn't belong to us. We stopped, the sound ringing loud and clear as we perked up. . . defensiveness taking control of what little rational part we had left inside.

It wasn't that much of a surprise when I inhaled that all-to familiar scent of the Cullen family. The faint smell of fresh blood indicated us that they were hunting. Our limbs locked, keeping us planted. . . silently to the dirt below our feet. Afraid they'd hear us. My eyes wondered, landing on Gale's. His thoughts were questioning me, read their mind Bells. How many are there? Should we leave? I stretched my aura. . . hoping to find the mind of a Cullen. I caught the thoughts of Emmett, and let my brain pick through his.

Dammit! , Wheres all the big game? The bears? Mountain lions? There's nothing out here. Maybe Edward and Jasper will travel with me to Canada . I hear bear season has been quite the fun. Rose wouldn't like that. . . I needed a weekend off from her. God! Her mood swings were killing me. Through his mind I found that he was traveling with Edward and Jasper. They were close. . . but not enough to hear them without having to use my power. Edward laughed and Jasper looked at him as if he lost his mind. Don't you dare say one word to ANYONE about that! Edward nodded his head. They all stopped running and just started talking.

"So would anyone like to tell me what's so funny?" Jasper asked. . . annoyed. Emmett changed the subject with a question of his own.

"All three of us should go to Canada and get some real game." Jasper looked at Edward and he said, "It was nothing, just Emmett being Emmett."

"That'd be cool but. . . Alice. I gotta stay with her. You and Edward could go." I was about to leave Emmett's head and tell my family it was okay to go until I heard what Emmett said to Jasper.

"Please." He scoffed. "Little Eddie wouldn't leave Bella here with the rest of us because he likes her." He started making kissing noises at Edward and Jasper was laughing and holding onto the tree for support. Edward was looking at Emmett murderously while growling. "Now Eddie,don't you go off killing people, the ladies aren't impressed by that." That just made Edward angrier.

"Emmett drop it. Lets go before the rest come looking for us." Edward said through gritted teeth while pinching his nose with his index finger and thumb. They agreed and ran opposite from us.

"Let's leave." I whispered. I turned on my heel, sprinting back to the place I called home.

"Well?" technically it was mostly Nina asking the questions but that's just because she wouldn't let anyone speak except for me.

"Well what?" I decided I would play innocent but the look she was giving me almost made me say everything. Almost.

"Tell us what you heard Bella." My lack of information I was giving was annoying her.

"They were just hunting and talking, they said nothing that had to do with us." She looked pleased and I rolled my eyes. The rest of the night went by uneventful and very boring considering I didn't have to sleep. It was just Gale and me that were up while the rest were to weak to stay up another night.


"I don't get you sometimes Bells." Gale said looking out the windows at the rain that was falling. I felt the urge to go out in the rain but I stayed were I was.

"What do you mean?"

"The vampires Bella. You act differently around them."

"What are you talking about I haven't even talked to them all week." I sounded way to defensive and I mentally slapped my self for falling in his trap. No way out know. He looked at me for a split second then focused again at the stormy night.

"Because of us. If we wouldn't have come when we did you would have talked to them. The minute we came to forks I knew something was off. I didn't say anything to the rest because I thought I was imagining everything. But when we came to your house you seemed different like I said on the first day of school you were on edge. I knew you were keeping something from us but I didn't know what. When I saw the vampires at school my insects kicked in and I could feel my eyes turn red. My point is Bella is why. Why are you protecting them?" he moved from his spot in front of the window, next to me on the couch.

"They're different. I know I have been saying that a lot but its true. They're not just a coven, they're a family. They all care for one another as much as we care for each other, Gale. They don't kill just to kill. They feed from the blood of animals. They are just like the vampires we had in- "

"Don't say it. It's not true they all betrayed us and left."

"Okay maybe they're not exactly like the ones before but they haven't done anything wrong so please just keep an open mind."

He didn't say anything for a while and I sat there waiting for him again thinking if I should read his mind.

"Fine I guess your right. Thanks for talking to me Bella. I know I've been an ass these couple of days and I'm sorry for that."

"You got that right." We both laughed and gave me a hug. Gale was like my big brother I could always talk to about things. He notices when things aren't right and that's one of the many things I love about him. 30 minutes later the rest woke up but it was still 5:00 in the morning. Sometimes it sucks not being able to sleep as much as humans do.

"Bella make it stop raining!" Nina said more liked yelled from the top of the stairs. Jacinda walked in front her looking amused. She was wearing gray sweats and a black tee. Her hair was in a messy bun. While Nina looked like she just came off a Victoria secret runway with her silk baby pink pajama dress and her hair perfectly tied to the back of her head.

"Why? It looks beautiful and so calming outside." This was the down side when it comes to having a coven with people that have different fairy talents. Water fairies like it when it's snowing or raining outside. Fire fairies like the dry and heat. Wind fairies are similar to fire fairies because of the heat but hate the dry. Earth fairies go well with water fairies because they love water but not the cold.

"My hair will get wet! That's why!" Nina said grabbing a water bottle and sitting in a chair. Jacinda just rolled her eyes at her while sitting next to me on the floor.

"So how much time to we have left before school?" Jacinda said changing the subject.

"Um, about one hour." We got dressed and ready to go. We all piled into the car and headed to school once more. I had a feeling it was going to be clear today thanks to Nina.


The morning went by quickly and before I could blink the bell rang for lunch. I got up and was about to leave the class when I heard a soft gasp from behind me. I turned around to see Alice with this far away look on her face. Being around Alice always made me uncomfortable. There was something weird about her. The way she thinks and refers to us as if we have known each other forever. The classroom was practically empty except for the two of us when she was back to the present. She looked around until her eyes fell on me . She smiled a grand smile and got up with her stuff.

"A-Are you okay Alice?" I stuttered. We fell into step together and headed for the lunchroom.

"Never better Bella!" she said in a singsong voice. "Oh and have fun in Bio today." She skipped to her table leaving me dumbfounded in entryway of the cafeteria.

All throughout lunch I kept thinking about what she said. What could she possibly mean by that? I couldn't figure out a good explanation so I'll have to just wait till next hour.

After lunch I walked into bio not knowing what to expect. But it just looked normal. I walked to my seat next to Edward and I got the familiar butterflies in my stomach that I always felt when I was around his presence.

"Hi." I said shyly.

He turned to me and gave me a crooked smile that I fell in love with in that moment. "Hey I haven't had a chance to talk to you since we ran into each other the other day."

"Yeah I know and I'm sorry. With my family and all…you know." He nodded his head in understand. Mr. Banner walked in and started class.


At the end of class everyone walked out of the class I got my things and got up.

"So I'll see you in gym?" I asked smiling that we had another hour together but sadly with both our families too.

"Of course." He said while opening the door for me. I smiled and said thanks. He was such a gentleman something that none of my past boyfriends had. It was hard not to compare him to my past relationships. But I just put that in the back of my mind to think about later.

I'm generally not a clumsy person but I have had my share of falls and not very gracefully might I add. And my feet decided today not to work properly and I tripped over my own two feet and I waited for the cold dirty floor to make contact with my face but it never happened. I opened my eyes to see two golden ones staring right back. He had both hands rapped tight around my waist and I had my hands on his shoulders. His lips inches away from mine.

"Are you okay?" his breath fanned my face and I felt dizzy.

"Uh yeah. Thanks." Still feeling a little dizzy. He chuckled and said, "No problem." Someone cleared their throat from behind us. I turned around still in Edward's arms to find Jacinda standing not 6 feet away from us. She had a smug grin on her face while looking at us. He let go of me immediately and I stepped back a little from him.

"Bella we're going to be late for gym. And who is this?" she said looking at Edward from behind me. She caught me red handed and she was going to enjoy every minute of it.

"Jacinda this is Edward Cullen. Edward this is Jacinda Brandon." I said while watching Jacinda to see what she was going to do. To my surprise she smiled and held her hand out. Edward took it slowly but immediately took his hand back and put it in his pocket.

"Nice to meet you Edward." She took my hand and led me to the locker room doors.

"What did you do to him?" I hissed in her ear.

She laughed and stopped in front of the locker doors and turned to face me.

"What? All I did was add a little heat to my hand is all. You know I hate the cold." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Babe just be glad it was me who found you and not Gale or Peter." She stated. And I was relieved that it was her. She wouldn't tell anyone.

"I am Jacinda but it wasn't what you think- " she cut me off while opening the door.

"We'll talk about this later if you want to keep it a secret." She said while looking over at Nina who was changing into her gym shirt. I nodded and we quickly walked over to her and changed.

We met the guys outside where we were going to have gym today because of the 'unexpected' clear skies. We just started talking about our day and Jacinda kept her promise and didn't say anything about the encounter with Edward.

"Yo, Brandon!" someone shouted and we all turned around to see Mike Newton jogging up to me. Gale and Peter have been pretty protective of Nina, Jacinda and me from the male population of school and I didn't have to turn around to look at them to see they were glaring at him, but I guess Mike didn't notice or is to stupid to comprehend that he wasn't welcomed here.

"So Bella, I was thinking that you and me could go get dinner some time, how 'bout tonight, pick you up at seven?" he tried to act all cool but his eyes gave him away. They held hope but nervous for my answer. Before I could answer I herd a soft growl that not even Mike could hear. I know it wasn't from Peter or Gale and I looked around until my eyes fell on the Cullen's and Edward was looking at Mike murderously, Jasper put a hand on Edward's shoulder and said something far to fast for me to comprehend. I looked back at Mike before answering.

"Sorry Mike I'm busy and I really want to hang out with my family. Maybe another time." I looked at him from under my eyelashes and used a lower softer voice and put my hand lightly on his chest. He let out a shaky breath and gulped before nodding and turning away from us looking dazed.

I turned back to my family and they all exploded with laughter.

"Wow Bella I can't believe you still had it in you to be like that again." Nina said.

"I miss sexy Bella! She should come out more often." Jacinda said still giggling like crazy.

"He deserved it." Gale said putting an arm around me brotherly.

We could hear Mrs. Miller calling us to come together.

"Okay class we are going to be working on Volleyball for the next couple of days. I have to go to a meeting so I'll make teams and then let you guy's play. It looks clear outside but if it does rain go in the gym and stay there until the bell rings. No. Messing. Around. Got it!" we all nodded and fallowed her into the big field behind the school.

She looked at her clipboard thinking about who should be in what group. I heard a soft squeal and turned my head to the Cullen's again and I heard Alice whisper excitedly to her family.

"She's going to put all of us together with Bella's family!"

I whispered the same to my family and they all nodded.

We heard her say a couple of people's names and directed them to one side of the field and quickly put 4 more people to finish off the group.

She made another team far east of the field and said to us to be in the West side by ourselves because she could 'trust' us.

While we were walking to our side Jacinda whispered so quietly not even the Cullen's could heard.

"Guys lets use our powers a little. Let go for a while, have fun but of course not enough for them to find out what we are." She had a devious smile on her face while explaining.

"Yes!" we all whispered back at the same time.

The Cullen's didn't know what they were dealing with. Well maybe except for Alice. This is going to be a very interesting game of volleyball. Let the games begin.

Jacinda's POV

Once I ran into Gale in Australia I was so excited to go visit everyone else. I was surprised Gale had the brains to figure out this brilliant plan he had. When we got to Forks it looked the same as it did 30 years ago when I came here to meet some trolls about some issues they were having. I love visiting the trolls but they can be self-centered at times.

I never thought Bella would ever lie to us but when we fist saw the vampires in the parking lot I did feel a bit hurt for not telling anyone about them. We could get into some serious troubles with the leaders if they found out we exposed ourselves to a group of vampires. But for some reason these vamps meant something to her and we could not deny her because she is our leader and sister.

It was around midnight when I went to sleep including Nina and peter in the other room next door. Thank god they haven't done anything in that room because I doubt that the walls are thick enough for me not to hear those sounds.

After a couple of hours I woke up. I could hear Nina and Peter still sleeping soundlessly next door. I was about to teleport down stairs when I Gale and Bella talking. I stopped and stood completely still not wanting to let them know I was up.

"I don't get you sometimes Bells." I heard Gale say from down stairs. Sometimes I wish I had Nina's gift so I could be invisible and go down stairs.

"What do you mean?" Bella asked.

"The vampires Bella. You act differently around them." I was true. Whenever we said something bad or harmful about them Bella would get defensive, and I don't think she even know that she was doing this.

"What are you talking about I haven't even talked to them all week." Bella said. I could picture her glaring at Gale right now.

"Because of us. If we wouldn't have come when we did you would have talked to them. The minute we came to forks I knew something was off. I didn't say anything to the rest because I thought I was imagining everything. But when we came to your house you seemed different like I said on the first day of school you were on edge. I knew you were keeping something from us but I didn't know what. When I saw the vampires at school my insects kicked in and I could feel my eyes turn red. My point is Bella is why. Why are you protecting them?" Why didn't he say anything to us? I guess he didn't want to worry us but still. Would have Bella talked to them if we didn't visit? Maybe even become friends? I shook my head listening back to the conversation.

"They're different. I know I have been saying that a lot but its true. They're not just a coven, they're a family. They all care for one another as much as we care for each other, Gale. They don't kill just to kill. They feed from the blood of animals. They are just like the vampires we had in- " I couldn't believe Bella was comparing the Cullen's to the vampires we had before! The Cullen's couldn't be that different only the eyes and the fact they go to school and their meal choices.

"Don't say it. It's not true they all betrayed us and left." Gale cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

"Okay maybe they're not exactly like the ones before but they haven't done anything wrong so please just keep an open mind."

He didn't say anything for a while and I sat there waiting for him.

"Fine I guess your right. Thanks for talking to me Bells. I know I've been an ass these couple of days and I'm sorry for that."

"You got that right." They both laughed. I sat there in bed for another hour until I got up and walked down stairs with sweats and made my hair into a bun.

"Bella make it stop raining!" I heard Nina complaining to Bella when I walked out into the hallway. Nina is such a drama queen. I thought to myself while passing her and sitting next to Bell on the floor.

"Why? It looks beautiful and so calming outside." I don't know how Bella finds that beautiful. Its all gray and wet outside but I guess you have to be a water fairy to understand.

"My hair will get wet! That's why!" Nina said grabbing a water bottle and sitting in a chair. I rolled my eyes at her.

"So how much time to we have left before school?" I said looking outside again hoping Bella does make it stop raining soon.

"Um, about one hour." We got dressed and ready to go. We all piled into the car and headed to school once more.

The day was normal, well as normal as a group of fairy's secretly going to school as humans could be.


Right before gym started I went to Bella's locker to walk with her to gym but when I got to her locker she wasn't there. "Damn where could she have gone?" I said to myself and then I remembered her saying that she had bio after lunch. So I headed to the Mr. Banner's bio class. I turned the corner and there was Bella in the arms of one of the Cullen's. What was his name? Eddie, Ed? Something like that. They were so close their chests touched his mouth inches away from her. Bella had this spark almost twinkle in her eyes that I haven't seen since we were little girls. Whenever she was really happy or excited she would get this twinkle in her eyes that made her even more beautiful then she already was. But why is she so happy? Why does this vampire have his arms around Bella? Why isn't she pulling away? All these questions were swimming in my head almost making me feel dizzy. I cleared my throat to let them know that I was here.

Bella turned around still in the vampire's arms a look of shock and embarrassment crossed her features. I'm going to have a little fun with this.

He let go of her immediately and Bella stepped back a little from him.

"Bella we're going to be late for gym. And who is this?" I asked eying the vampire up and down.

"Jacinda this is Edward Cullen. Edward this is Jacinda Brandon." Bella said introducing us like he wasn't a vampire and I wasn't a fairy. I could she Bella's warning in her eyes to be good. So I put on one of my best innocent smiles and stuck my hand out for him to shake. I purposely made my hand hotter to signalize to him not to mess with me. Edward took my hand in his slowly not trusting me. Good. I thought to myself. But once his skin made contact with mine he pulled away much to fast for humans to do and he put his hand in his pocket.

"Nice to meet you Edward." I said while talking Bella's hand and dragging her to the girl's locker room

"What did you do to him?" she hissed in her ear when we were out of ear shot of Edward.

I laughed at how well this girl knew me and stopped in front of the locker doors and turned to her.

"What? All I did was add a little heat to my hand is all. You know I hate the cold." She rolled her eyes at my explanation.

"Babe, just be glad it was me who found you and not Gale or Peter." I stated. I could promise Gale or Peter would have exploded for Edward even coming that close to her and touch her and for Bella letting him.

"I am Jacinda but it wasn't what you think- " I cut me off while opening the door.

"We'll talk about this later if you want to keep it a secret." I said while looking over at Nina who was changing into her gym shirt. Bella nodded and we quickly walked over to her and changed.

We met the guys outside where we were going to have gym today because of the 'unexpected' clear skies thanks to Bella. We just started talking about our day. I wanted to say something about the whole Bella and Edward thing but I promised her I wouldn't say anything and right know it wasn't a good time or place to bring it up considering the Cullen's aren't far away from us.

"Yo, Brandon!" someone shouted and we all turned around to see Mike Newton jogging up to Bella. Oh boy, a lot of guys in this school are crazy about Bella but she doesn't even know it! Mike Newton is just one of many of them. Gale and Peter have been pretty protective of all three of us but most of them go after Bella because they know Peter and Nina are together and I just intimidate them so they wont say anything. Gale and Peter have not taken a liking to Newton at all.

"So Bella, I was thinking that you and me could go get dinner some time, how 'bout tonight, pick you up at seven?" he tried to act all cool which almost made me laugh out loud. But I bit my lip and kept watching. Before Bella could answer I herd a soft growl that not even Mike could hear. I looked around to see who made that animal like sound and it was no other then the famous Edward Cullen. He was looking at Mike murderously; Jasper put a hand on Edward's shoulder and said something far to fast for me to comprehend.

"Sorry Mike I'm busy and I really want to hang out with my family. Maybe another time." Her voice dropped a couple of octaves as she looked at Newton from under her eyelashes while putting her hand lightly on his chest. All of us were ready to explode with laughter when Newton answered back with shake of his head and he was off running back to his friends in a daze. Once he left we all started laughing like crazy and Bella just stood there like nothing happened.

"Wow Bella I can't believe you still had it in you to be like that again." Nina said while holding her sides.

"I miss sexy Bella! She should come out more often." I said through giggles. I then thought of all the times Bella and I would go to clubs and mess around with the guys and get drunk and dance all night. I miss those times.

"He deserved it." Gale said putting an arm around Bella brotherly.

We could hear Mrs. Miller calling us to come together.

"Okay class we are going to be working on Volleyball for the next couple of days. I have to go to a meeting so I'll make teams and then let you guy's play. It looks clear outside but if it does rain go in the gym and stay there until the bell rings. No. Messing. Around. Got it!" we all nodded and fallowed her into the big field behind the school.

She looked at her clipboard thinking about who should be in what group.

We heard Bella whisper to us that we were going to go against the Cullen's.

That's when I worked on my plan. It was fun messing with Edward with just making my hand warmer is would be hilarious if they lost a game of volleyball to a group of 'humans'!

We heard her say a couple of people's names and directed them to one side of the field and quickly put 4 more people to finish off the group.

She made another team far east of the field and said to us to be in the West side by ourselves were no one could see us. Perfect.

While we were walking to our side I whispered to my family of my plan and crossed my figures that they would agree.

"Guys lets use our powers a little. Let go for a while, have fun but of course not enough for them to find out what we are." I said while smiling at them with my devious little smile.

"Yes!" we all whispered back at the same time. I wanted to do a happy dance right then but I stopped my self and nodded and turned back to our opponents.

Let the games begin.


We started with the ball first, Gale and me were in the front and Nina and Peter were in the back and Bella was serving first. She threw the ball up into the air and hit it with extra speed towards Blondie, she wasn't prepared at how fast and hard the ball was going and when she hit it back she stumbled a little back and glared at Bella before fixing her hair and getting back into her position. Gale came out of nowhere and his voice echoed in my head, well all of our heads. Bella do you have a read on them? Then I heard Gale leave my head and Bella took his place. I really hate when they do this sometimes. Yeah, they sort of figured out what we're doing and they will do the same so watch out.

Just then Jasper hit the ball hard to Nina, she would have hit it back if it wasn't for Jasper playing around with her emotions and she all of a sudden started falling asleep. I ran to Nina and pushed her out of the way while hitting the ball and spreading heat around it to Emmett. I looked back to Nina who used her gift of wind to stop herself at mid fall and to hoist herself back up again. I could hear the Cullen's swearing every time the touched the hot ball but the some how manage to throw the ball at Gale and he tossed it to me and I spiked it to Alice who used her speed and strength to jump up really high in the air and try to spike it in my face but Nina used air to move the ball's direction over my head to Bella who used her power to make the ball slippery with a thin layer of ice that no one besides Bella could see and threw it at Edward who tried getting the ball but it slipped and almost hit the floor if it wasn't for his speed. He hit it to me and Gale and I let him take this one. Before the ball could come closer to him he used his gift of fire to heat the ball and easily use it again.

We went around doing this for another 10 minutes before the coach said class was over. No one won because the ball never touched the ground but it was much exciting then playing it like a human would. The Cullen's were clearly frustrated at how good we were playing.

We all got changed and went to our cars and drove home in a comfortable silence. That was all fun and all but know I have to talk to Bella about Edward because even though she might try to deny it, hell she might not even know it.

I think Bella is falling for Edward and I don't know if that's good or bad.


Hope you liked it! Please Review!

I have a question for you guys! Would you like Jacob to be in my story? And if so what would he be? One of Bella's ex Boyfriends, a fairy, Vampire, human, wolf, good or bad? LET ME KNOW IN YOUR COMMENT or PM ME!

"Yo! Earth to Bella! Is someone there?" Peter mocked and waved his hand in front of my face.

"Ugh, Nina!" I rolled my eyes. "How can you live with him?" I said in a joking manner. Peter narrowly avoided the pillow being launched at his head.

"Not without great difficulty I'll bet." Jacinda cut in before Nina could and we all laughed. . . except for Peter.

"Nah it's quite easy. I just tell him he'll have to pay a price if he doesn't do as I please." Nina joked when are laughter subsided, but that just caused another round of hysterical giggles.

"Ha-ha," Peter growled sarcastically. "Lets go do something."

"Like what?" Gale's interest in Peter became apparent.

"Let's go for a run," He smirked.

"Why? It looks beautiful and so calming outside." This was the down side when it comes to having a coven with people that have different fairy talents. Water fairies like it when it's snowing or raining outside. Fire fairies like the dry and heat. Wind fairies are similar to fire fairies because of the heat but hate the dry. Earth fairies go well with water fairies because they love water but not the cold.
