Chapter 2

The Protector

It was a lot of pressure for Edward. I could feel his pain and out of sorrow he had to watch as his world was in pain. He knelt his head down and I stood in a shaded area looking for something to heal Bella as ordered by Edward of course.

I didn't know the dangers that lay ahead. Michael and Sammi had wanted to hurt all the women Edward loved. So that meant Bella, me, & Alice mostly; they had Bella scratched off so I knew I was next.

I strolled down to a tree I knew would help heal. But the leaves were gone and that was surprising because this was an evergreen I thought about skimming the tree but I stopped myself.

"Wait a minute Hazel this could be a trap from Michael and Sammi" I thought to myself hopefully Edward didn't hear it or hopefully he did. I began to inspect not tracking them anywhere near here in southern Canada actually.

I heard a screech just about 2 minutes later and Michael and Sammi's old truck pulled up. I put on my fighting mode and tried to run but Michael grabbed me. I released myself and did my karate only to be overpowered by them both. Besides I was tired not sleepy but tired and didn't feel like fighting. They put me in their van with an anti – vampire strength tape and took me to the warehouse. Immediately I knew what was going to happen but I knew Bella was just a fragile human. But me I was a vampire so they might KILL me! Michael and Sammi Levine had something against us Cullens for some reason that was unnecessary I mean did we do anything to them? They seemed to hate Edward they pulled up to a storage room and I braced myself thinking terrified thoughts hoping Edward would hear me.

"EDWARD MICHAEL AND SAMMI HAVE TAKEN ME EDWARD EDWARD EDWARD PLEASE" Michael bolted the door shut with a super ultra-lock and I groaned.

"Lie down on that" he said pointing to a disgusting bed I did as I was told I was shaking. Fight back Hazel fight back I thought but I couldn't there were graphic toys around me.

"Edward please help me" I thought knowing he would get the message.

I remembered the time when girls were bullying me at school…severely and Edward heard my thoughts and came for me. He beat up the girls, that was when we lived in Alaska for the winters and in the summers we lived at the very tip of Chile in South America. That was how we learned to speak Spanish and Portuguese.

Michael lunged on top of me and covered my mouth to prevent me from screaming which I did in my head pleading "EDWARD PLEASE HELP! They have me" I was using my pleading scared voice.

Why wasn't he coming? Probably with Bella Michael held a matchbox threatening me and I gulped. You had to rip a vampire into pieces and burn them in order for them to die; with that. They attacked me and assaulted me; I suddenly realized what was happening. I tracked Edward and Sammi was making them feel pain so they couldn't move. Jasper and Emmett were coming with him too. Michael was stronger than me and had me with my hands behind my back. He had a video camera and threw me against the bed.

"Beautiful, very visually dynamic" he snarled I looked away from the camera "it's really a shame your brother wasn't here to save you isn't that right Edward?" Michael asked.

He stepped on my face it didn't hurt but he thought it would and Sammi made me feel the illusion of pain.

"Tell Edward to avenge me….TELL HIM" Michael snarled.

"NO EDWARD DON'T MICHAEL WAS JAMES' BROTHER" I screamed.

Michael lunged on me again but not before he was pushed away I turned around and saw my brother's face he stood horrified as he saw me.

Jasper and Emmett came and attacked Michael and Sammi. Edward ran to me.

"How is Bella?" I asked.

"She's better, Carlisle gave her a medicine are you OK?" he asked.

"Yeah" I said.

He took me in his arms and pulled me to his chest. He flew out of the facility and we went back to campgrounds and he didn't let go of me. Everyone was happy to know I was OK. Jasper and Emmett proudly announced that Michael and Sammi were no more…dead.

Edward was my protector and I never went anywhere without him. When he was wrestling with Emmett I sat there watching. When he was playing chess with Jasper I sat right there. I was too afraid to leave him and I could see the Volturi advancing towards Forks and scanning the country for us. About 2 days after my kidnapping Alice had a vision we all gathered around her. Edward cradled me in his arms with one arm around Bella; our brother – sister bond was getting better he was becoming more like that over protective older brother.

"The Volturi are going to execute Jasper, Bella, & I to leave Hazel with no choice but join them" Alice said we all were horrified.

"OK now we really need to take extra measures" Edward said.

"Oh Edward you and your worries" Rosalie complained.

"Edward just likes to think ahead" Carlisle said winking at him.

"Hazel, where are they now?" Jasper asked.

I closed my eyes for better concentration; Jane was mad like really mad but I couldn't concentrate on what they were doing…or could I. I decided maybe it would be good to spy on them.

"DAMN IT DIMITRI" Aro was saying.

"WHY CAN'T YOU TRACK THEM?" Alec angrily stated.

"It's Hazel; she had the same ability as me. She is preventing me from tracking them" Dimitri said.

"Well how come you can't prevent her?" Caius asked.

"Only Hazel can do that she has figured it out with her siblings' help the rest of us haven't."

"Well I can touch one of them and find out" Aro said.

"Pain" Jane said "we need to get Hazel away from Edward and Bella. Separate them or do something."

"Well aren't we going to stick to our bribery plan" Marcus said.

"You mean lure them and force Hazel to join us."

"WHATEVER JUST TRACK THEM" Aro snarled.

"OK OK I'm trying" Dimitri said.

They were in Forks in front of our house after just realizing we weren't there.

Edward read my mind "you're a clever little girl aren't you" he joked I gave my "typical Hazel smile."

"What did she do?" Rosalie asked.

"She spied on the Volturi and figured out what they wanted" Edward said.

"Yes and I can perfectly talk for myself" I said laughing.

Carlisle announced we would be moving locations and would be attending school like everyone else. We were looking at very remote areas and settled for Radnor, Pennsylvania a cloudy area surrounded by trees. We packed up our stuff and put our stuff in our cars and sped off to Pennsylvania. I rode with Edward and Bella in Edward's Volvo; he drove over 100 miles per hour we arrived in Pennsylvania 3 and a half days later and we unpacked putting everything in our house I had my own room since the house was big and the couples shared a room anyway. I was going to a middle school just down the road from Edward's school that he would attend with the others.

The next morning after a night of worrying about school I got dressed and ready for. Charlie (Bella's father) began calling worried about her and Esme assured him that she was fine and they were stuck in Japan due to bad weather and that we were traveling to a few more countries.

Edward assured me there was nothing to worry about and that if anyone gave me a hard time he would "shove their teeth down their throat" when he dropped me off at the sixth grade wing and 3 girls stood there and I heard them whisper about me. They reeked with horrible odor and I certainly didn't want their blood.

Edward walked me to the front desk where he kneeled down, put his hands on my shoulders and said "are you OK?"

"Yeah I'm fine" I said.

"Can I help you sir?" an older lady asked.

"Yes" Edward said in his overly polite voice "I'm here to register a new student."

"OK name?" the lady asked.

"Full name or just first and last?" Edward asked.

"Full" the woman said.

"Hazel Cullen" Edward said.

"Welcome Hazel, where are you?" then she whispered "is she here?"

I came out from behind my brother "hello, welcome now as you might not know this is a school for 5th and 6th graders and you are in Mrs. Minish's class" the woman said I nodded.

"OK um here is the form and after you sign it out give it back to me and I will take Hazel to class" she said.

"Actually could I take my sister to class if you don't mind" Edward said "no problem" the lady said I stared at the form it said this. Edward was filling it out.

Edward handed it in and the lady handed him a map of the school and my classroom was circled. Then she gave me a uniform; a grey jacket a sky blue buttoned down shirt, a plaid skirt, and dark blue high socks with black shoes and told me to put it on. He thanked the lady and took me to class; his arm around me, pulling me close to him. He immediately let go when I got to my room.

The lady was behind us "I have to introduce Hazel to the class" she explained as she opened the door.

"Hello" a lady with glasses said in a strict tone.

"Hello Mrs. Minish this is Hazel Cullen she will be joining your class" the lady said.

Edward walked in behind me. He motioned goodbye to me and dashed out, the girls were in the classroom. I studied them closely they all had long wavy blonde hair their names were Tiffany Kingsley, Alexis Norton, & Jennifer DaBell. They called themselves The "It" girls. Tiffany was the queen bee they also had other girls in their clique who were; Wendy Rockse, Caroline Tamantha, & Allison Cyrus. Who all had very light brown hair with purple highlights; they all laughed and made faces as I sat down in the back.

My teacher was teaching a lesson about Salonika, Greece but I wasn't paying attention. She switched gears to science so I knew she was my science and social studies teacher.

"Who can tell me what happens when you pass through the Exosphere?" Mrs. Minish asked.

The "It" girls all shot up their hands I didn't want to draw attention to myself so I didn't raise my hand you are in space the end I thought.

"Tiffany?" Mrs. Minish said.

"You end up in space" she said in a know it all stuck up voice.

"Now take out your science notebooks and…"

RING RING RING the lunch bell went off.

"Oh its lunch time already OK guys well be good don't be annoying to Mrs. Kurtz next door." Mrs. Minish said.

I wasn't surprised that the girls pushed their desks together to eat. They laughed at me they threw their leftover garbage at me.

Then Tiffany grabbed my arm "why don't you have lunch you fat ugly sheet?"

I stood silent.

"She hasn't got her brother here to follow her around" Jen said coming around and they high fived.

The rest of my day wasn't any better either. I spaced out during Math and the bitches all laughed at me. I was definitely relieved to get picked up by Edward.

After I walked out of the building the "It" Girls walked up to me and whispered "you're so weird" in my ear.

Then Edward came and said "Hazel we have to go into surgery right now and I felt a bite on his hand

"What happened to your hand?" I asked.

"I had a horrible threshing accident…it was horrible" he said.

"It was so horrible" I said.

"Oh the worst."

I rolled my eyes "you are so stupid."

"Hey I got you something." Edward said pulling a sketcher book out of his backpack.

"Thanks!" I said excitedly and then the girls laughed "where are we meeting Carlisle?" I asked my face down.

"Through town center. What's up with these girls?" Edward asked I pulled him to me.

"They think I'm weird sometimes I sort of space out" I said not bothering to mention them calling me sheet.

"What when you're drawing?"

"Yeah other times too Miss Spence had to snap her fingers at me today and everyone laughed. They all think I'm a freak of nature."

"Miss Spence Miss Shmence" Edward said and I laughed.

The next day wasn't much better Alice walked in with me and Tiffany laughed so did Wendy, it seemed like every girl in the class had their own best friend pair. Tiffany and Wendy, Alexis and Allison, Jennifer and Caroline; I wanted to ignore them so I pretended my uniform was itchy which I saw a lot of the girls doing. My school was an all girl's school by the way.

There were other girls who were sort of friend with Tiffany and partially in her clique their names were Lindsay Sashay, Trish Farthing, Rachel Dewsbury, Annie Pendlon, & Erin Haydon. They sort of had their own little clique I secretly called them the "Semi Bitchy girls" well because they were. We started out in Miss Rios's room for math, then Mrs. Von Hegel for chemistry & then Mrs. Grady for Language Arts; we heard the lunch bell we ran to the classroom and Mrs. Kurtz was there waiting for us and told us if we were too loud she was sending for Miss Spence the principal of the school.

The "It" girls and "Semi Bitchy girls" pushed their desks together into a table; I looked to see what they had…all peanut butter and jelly. In the years before I became a vampire I was allergic to peanuts they laughed and mocked me. I didn't find it weird that I didn't eat lunch like all the other kids I mean I was used to it but maybe it looked weird to them. I stared at the blackboard and listened at the screaming from the girls in the room. I could easily tell who were friends and who wasn't and I didn't see a single outcast.

Tiffany slammed her fist on my desk, I looked up she looked at me with her cold hard eyes. I wanted to say "can I help you bitch" but that would be mean she grabbed me and slugged me in the stomach.

"What are you going to do now loser?" she snarled and she was joined by Wendy and Caroline who laughed like hyenas. They grabbed me and Tiffany ordered nobody to tell.

"Caroline is an expert at stripping, sheet" Tiffany said I knew what they had in mind.

"Don't touch me or…" I started.

"Or what you'll get your big brother here to rescue you" Tiffany snarled again.

"Calm yourself Hazel calm, calm, calm" I thought.

"Yeah and guess what you can tell your brother that we will totally fight him because he is probably weak." Caroline started getting me in a choke hold…fine with me I didn't need to breathe I was a vampire.

"Actually I have a better idea. Caroline, get the keys from the desk will you?" Tiffany said.

I knew what they were going to do so I just stood there. Tiffany and Jen were holding my hands behind my back, "Allison, Wendy go see if you can find a rope or something, you know why" Tiffany said.

They smirked at each other. I closed my eyes "oh Edward" I thought "why couldn't I go to your school" Wendy and Allison came back ten minutes later with 3 jump ropes from the supply closet and tape.

"PERFECT" Tiffany's eyes got cold with pure evil.

Jen and Alexis held my hands behind my back while Tiffany tied me up. She put tape over the ropes and my mouth, I knew what I was going to do once I was in the closet…use my vampiric strength to escape…STUPID BITCHES. They tossed me in the closet and laughed but unfortunately I had eyes in the closet watching me. Tiffany assigned Alexis and Caroline to stay inside and make sure I didn't escape. When the "lunch is over bell" rang the girls locked the door…bolted tight and ran away from the closet leaving me inside. I tracked the keys and the girls had hidden them; I realized this was going to be a long life in Radnor until we could return to Forks. I broke out of my bounds after everyone left for 4th period. I remained in the closet not wanting to expose my strength of being a vampire…I knew it would put the whole family in danger and Carlisle might get mad.

The day crept by and I kept myself occupied by drawing sketches. I love to draw and sketch things I sketched pictures of; Edward, Bella, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, & a boy who was the boy of my dreams…Jason.

I heard the final bell ring and Mrs. Minish said "Where's Hazel?"

I saw the girls smirking but trying to keep an innocent face.

"She got sick during lunch and went home" Tiffany said calmly.

"Oh well, poor dear I don't blame her I mean coming new school coming all the way from Washington State." Mrs. Minish said.

Everyone packed up and went home. I tracked Edward he was waiting for me in his Volvo outside he was getting nervous and when I didn't come out by 3:30pm he came running into the building.

"EXCUSE ME YOUNG MAN WHERE ARE YOU-"the lady at the front desk began.

"MY SISTER HASN'T COME OUTSIDE AND SHE GOES TO YOUR STUPID SCHOOL" he shouted he had been worried about me and lost his temper he ran to the classroom and I heard him say "Mrs. Minish" in his calming polite tone she looked up.

"Yes, you're Hazel's brother right how is she? Heard she was sick do you need her homework or…"

"SICK" Edward exploded "WHO TOLD YOU SHE WAS SICK BECAUSE FYI MRS. HAZEL'S TEACHER BECAUSE MY LITTLE SISTER DIDN'T COME OUTSIDE WHEN I CAME TO PICK HER UP" he screamed at her

"EDWARD IN HERE" I screamed in my head I could tell he got it when he said "mind if I" leaning towards the closet doorknob.

"No go ahead" said Mrs. Minish.

"Edward it's locked please don't pull your heroics" I thought .

He listened but made it look like the closet was unlocked. He went inside and shut the door. When his eyes and face met mine it was like I saw the world again and he pulled me to his arms.

"Girls in my class…they did this I didn't want to expose us" I thought.

"Oh Hazel" he whispered and pulled me in his arms comforting me.

I felt so safe there nothing would harm me as long as Edward was there. I lay there until he went out. He held me and I closed my eyes he walked out of the closet knowing Mrs. Minish was gone he carried me as we ran home together.

He was very mad at what happened he said "IF THOSE LITTLE BITCHES DO ONE MORE THING TO YOU I SWEAR!"

"Edward its fine" I assured him.

"Hazel you're my sister isn't it my job to protect you?"

"Possibly" I said.

"You have homework?"

"No."

He came into my bed and put his arm around me in a comforting way I leaned against his chest.

"This is a book I wanted to read to you…if that's OK" he said.

I nodded with a slight smile on my face. It was a book about vampires.

"Sometimes the enemy can be weaker than the good" he began "but the good decides not to hurt the enemy so we do not fight back. The vampires did not stop as they decided that if they could to one thing they would definitely control their strength and not prevail against humans. Still school – aged vampires were picked on by their human peers because of their different looking appearances. They would not fight them back, as the Transylvanian man stood on the top of the building he could see a strange salt coming down on him as he sipped a cup of his drink, he felt it. The burning sensation, this was how Vladimir or "Vlad" IV became a vampire. He wasn't sure what he was but he went on a killing rage killing innocent people wanting their blood and the blood and gore. People began to fear Vlad and he realized whenever he bit someone and left them alive they would become like him. He left the land of where his borough was and misted off into the foggy southern mist of Transylvania the lone wolf he was and he saw a man who he bit out of loneliness and he was called "Dracula" Count Dracula and he was one of the most famous vampires ever. More and more vampires multiplied and one day a man named Stregone Benefici was turned into a vampire and began a clan. One of the youngest members of the vampire community resides in that coven. The End" Edward read to me.

I was leaning safely in his arms and he comforted me. Edward left me to rest and went to go be with Bella.

"How is she?" Bella asked.

"She's OK" Edward said.

"Is there anything I can do?"

"No it's fine Bella love."

I tracked the Volturi who were dangerously close now but they weren't my main problem, those girls were now. I didn't know how I would deal with them I heard Edward and Esme talking.

"I'm going in with her tomorrow."

"WHAT…NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!" she screamed back.

"Why not?" Edward asked although he was perfectly capable of knowing why.

"You can't just waltz in there and threaten 12 year old girls" Esme stated.

"Esme come on I'm not going to go and suck the blood of twelve year old girls" Edward joked.

"I'm OK with it" Carlisle said.

"NO" Esme said.

I got up and walked out of my room "what's this all a…" I began.

"I'm taking you to school tomorrow" Edward grinned.

Esme turned her head "Edward I'm warning you if you…"

"Esme relax" Carlisle said.

The next day I walked into the building Edward holding my hand. When we got to my classroom he stood behind me. I opened the door and the entire class stared at me and looked amused when Edward entered behind me. I swallowed and put my hands in my pockets they trembled Edward assured me everything was OK and walked me to my desk.

"You OK?"

I nodded and my books fell to the floor after being pushed by Caroline. Edward looked annoyed but doesn't do anything.

"OK you were such a baby by going home yesterday" Tiffany said.

"OK Tiffany enough" Mrs. Minish says as they start laughing.

Edward gets another annoyed look on his face he goes over to Tiffany's desk lifts it with her in it and slams it down.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING" Mrs. Minish asked horrified.

"You do not talk that way to my sister again you hear" Edward snarled.

Tiffany's grin faded and she looks at him terrified and nodded. Mrs. Minish called the police on Edward who I look at awestruck. The police looked emotionless as he handcuffed Edward walked out of the room. Carlisle would be MAD and I mean really mad, Edward had never been arrested before or had any trouble with the police.

Tiffany bothered me during the day and mocked me "Your brother Edwin isn't here to save you now huh?"

She only was scared when it was pick up fearing he would pick me up. I walked outside to the school yard. Alice was there waiting so the girls didn't care since Alice was a girl. But didn't dare to do what they do to me in school Alice almost lost it but I calmed her down she tried to tell me it wasn't cool what they were doing but I told her it was no big deal.

I got home and immediately said "where's Edward?"

"In his room with Bella, I bailed him out" Carlisle said.

"Are you mad?" I asked.

"He stood up for you and he didn't exactly do the right expressing but I'm proud that he defended you" Carlisle said.

I walked to my room. Directly across from Edward's he was sitting with Bella and it looked as if he wished he could cry I wished I could too. He looked into the hall and I ran into the room. I sat down next to him and he pulled me closer to him.

"You are NOT going back to that school" he said and I nodded he kissed my hair.

"No school?

"We're moving locations possibly back to Forks."

"You sure it's safe?"

"Yes and Bella's moving in with us."

"Really?"

"Yes it that OK" Bella asked.

"Certainly" I laughed.

It wasn't a surprise to me I had been expecting Bella to move in sometime soon because she was 17 and had Charlie's permission to move out. I went to the den and flipped on the TV. You may think that there are so many exciting things about being a vampire but I would just sit in front of a TV and be normal sometimes. I flipped on the channels Myths and facts were on and the episode about vampires was on, I almost found it funny about the way they portray us and I hate it. I'm going to say it again I hate fake portrayals I really do.

School the next day wasn't much different…just the same tormenting from the girls who obviously didn't learn their lesson. At the end of the day I walked outside in a hurry when the day was over I wanted to see who was picking me up…hopefully Edward…and Bella. It was a stampede of girls running out of the building most of them running to their busses or with their friends some ran to their parents I pushed my brown hair over my shoulder in a ponytail and looked around for Edward. I didn't see him so I went to the playground to climb the climbing pyramid thingy. Which I did and I sat on the top for a while Edward climbed up behind me.

"You nearly scared me" I joked.

"How nice" he said sarcastically and we climbed down and walked to his car.

"You are a little late" I said.

"Sorry...I had to do community service" Edward said.

I looked down and he took my hand I saw Tiffany, Wendy, & Caroline all laughing at me.

"Those girls are still bothering you?" Edward asked and I nodded I could feel his anger so I distracted him and steered him the other way.

When we got to his car he started up the engine "how was school?" he asked me.

"Same old" I said.

"Put your seatbelt on" Edward said "at least let's try to act human."

"Put your seatbelt on" I laughed.

I did and he did the same and then sped home as usual being typical Edward. I knew The Volturi was still out there but I knew Edward would protect me. I could sense danger was coming…soon. But I think with other vampires possibly I tried to track them but I didn't want to do it around Edward…didn't want to worry him so he would get all overprotective. On Saturday Edward told me that we were going to New York City with Bella by train for the day. Bella woke up and got ready.

We boarded the train at the station and Edward, Bella, & I sat down on the bench and waited for the train. I wondered what we were going to do…Edward was probably surprising me but before I could get a thought into my head about what we were doing I smelled a familiar scent Edward growled slightly and I turned my head and saw Caroline and her family there.

A man with grayish hair and a cigar in his hand he looked about late fifty's early sixty's was holding Caroline's shoulder I guessed it was her father Mr. Tamantha. A woman with brown hair and blonde highlights was holding a purse and had sunglasses she smoothed more lipstick on her lips and her high heels clicked against the platform. A boy who had a flat face and frizzy hair which was long was holding Caroline's hand he gave me a look of hatred I guessed this was her famous brother Timmy who she always talked about and Edward mentioned him a couple of times and then Miss Caroline Tamantha herself turned around and looked at me. Her dark brown wavy hair was down; she had on a gold necklace with a cross a blue jacket like thing, white shirt, skinny jeans, & leather heel boots. She whispered something to Timmy and I leaned into Edward who had an angry look on his face. He gave Bella a kiss and pretended to not notice Timmy and Caroline.

The train came and Edward held my hand and I looked at him he smiled at me but not showing his teeth just his typical "Edward to Hazel smile" we walked onto the train and sat in a three row seat facing forward and without a row facing us. We sat on the bus – like side I was at the window next to Edward and Bella was on the end she leaned against Edward and so did I, after a while I looked out the window and saw another train.

I asked Edward how come he didn't drive…he said "just something to kill time and take longer" he said the last two words in a bored tone and I laughed.

Caroline peered over her seat and glared at me Edward glared at her and she gave me a threatening look. We got to Penn Station at exactly 10:05am and it was raining we walked up the stairs and I saw Caroline and her family following us I saw her parents say something to she and Timmy and then just Timmy and Caroline followed us Edward persuaded me to speed walk. We walked through Central Park then ran to the benches that looked over the Hudson. Timmy and Caroline followed us the whole way we rode home on the train and I was puzzled? Why did Caroline follow me today? I decided to give her a test to see what she would do at school tomorrow.

Well I walked in and Caroline walked up to me…of course Tiffany lead them with Wendy and Caroline at her sides. They sneered to me "on Friday night…sleepover at my house" Tiffany snarled "show up…or else" they threatened.

I didn't ask what they handed me a paper. Fat stupid sheet I read in my head you better show up for this sleepover it's going to be fun! Ask Edwin to drop you off at 7:30…house of Tiff you know where. It was sickening I wanted to run home and tell Edward…but they would hurt me…why should I be afraid of them though? After all I was a vampire right? They bullied me severely today… Tiffany slit my arm with a scissor and laughed…they locked me in the closet during lunch, & they called me names…dirty names.

When Edward picked me up I could tell he had anger in his eyes he was about to pounce on the girls. I pried him to the car and then he took me in his arms and I sat there…emotionless he held me tight and I felt so safe.

"I heard what they want to do" he said.

"You are not going to that party."

"Edward they said they wouldn't do anything to me but I know they are lying…they said or else and they weren't lying about that" I said frightened.

"I know I know…I'll go with you and stay" Edward said.

"Edward I'm a vampire we are vampires if they do anything you know…"

But Edward wouldn't hear of it "Hazel Lucy Masen Cullen" he began.

"I know I know don't want to expose us sorry" I said.

He shrugged and sped through town driving like the Edward maniac he is. When we pulled into the driveway I ran out of the car and to my room, did my homework, & hung out. The rest of the week went by; Tuesday was fine, Wednesday was bad, Thursday was worse…then Friday.

Edward wasn't sure about sending me to school walking in alone so he walked in with me and Tiffany, Caroline, Wendy, & the "It" girls were scared so was my whole class and Mrs. Minish when they saw him because of what happened last time. The day was good and it flew by…7:30 the hour of dread Edward took me and walked with me to the door. He held my hand and kissed my hair Tiffany answered the door

"Welcome Hazel…Edgar" she said yanking me in and slamming the door in Edward's face.

"THE PARTY HAS BEGUN!" Tiffany announced and all the girls gathered and I could feel the deep pit in my stomach but almost laughed when I saw Edward hiding in the house. They took turns beating me…then they played Wii and forced me to be bad and do stupid things

"You have Wii at home and a Facebook right? Friend us so we can do this to you 24/7" Caroline laugh snarled.

"No" I said.

"Did Miss Hazel nut say no" Wendy taunted.

"Kill her!" Caroline declared.

And they came at me and I pretended to be hurt…but I'm a vampire so clearly I wasn't they put me on a bed and put a thing over my head…a plastic bag…to suffocate me. I heard glass breaking and them screaming I broke free and lunged at Tiffany who looked at me frightened and I let her have a slow and painful death I then was challenged by Caroline who knew karate and I beat her in no time. Edward was done with the others.

"I can't live knowing I killed someone" I said.

"They were going to kill you" he said.

Edward carried me home and I knew we were done with Radnor. Carlisle announced we were moving back to Forks. I was also going to be trained by Edward for war training and fighting. I was quite looking forward to it actually. Although I knew how to fight…clearly.

When we got to Forks it took two days this time since we ran back to the house and I ran to my room. I was so happy we were finally home I considered Forks my home now and I could never leave. Funny because when we first moved to Forks from northern Alaska I missed Alaska a lot. It was my home and I never wanted to leave I hated Forks because it was like a typical American Town and there was nothing to explore or do except go to the woods. Also we weren't even allowed to go to the beach; I love the beach but only when it's cloudy and the sun is completely hidden. The Quileutes lived there and we had a treaty with them but we weren't allowed on their territory even though they were allowed on ours. As we got to know Forks more I began liking it but this was the first time I considered it my home and it was now.

I didn't have to unpack because all my stuff was left untouched. Do you really wanted to know why I called this "The Secret Life of Hazel Cullen" well because…from when we moved back to Forks my life became a secret sort of but not right away it happened in a matter of time definitely all of my siblings had graduated so Carlisle said I didn't have to go to school which I was happy about because then I could spend more time playing soccer and writing stories about things…hint hint hint.

Edward began spending more time with Bella and I was learning to accept that. I also knew that my tormentors weren't dead but they were badly injured as I figured out about 2 minutes after the "killing" Edward also dialed 9 – 11 because he felt bad about what he did. I walked to my room and lay down on my bed breathing in the fresh air.
