AN: Hi guys here's chapter 6. As you know voting on my poll ended today and Vile Beauty won by a land slide, so my main focus will be on this story.

I'd like to thank the people who reviewed, added the story to their Favorites & Alert list. And I'd also like to Thank my Beta, David for his help.

Anyway... I'll be going on vacation July 8th so this will most likely be my last update for a month. I hope that I can update as soon as I get back. But that won't happen if you people don't review!

Now enjoy the chapter! :) ... It's in Edward's point of view. :D

Vile Beauty

Chapter 6: The Girl

Edward's Point of View

0~O~0

"Edward."

I stayed silent.

Edward, please tell me you're not mad at me.

I growled silently.

"You are so immature!"

"Not as much as you are Alice."

"I just want you to be happy!"

"Then don't bring the subject up again!"

"But-" Jasper put his hand on Alice's shoulder and gave her a stern look. "Fine," she sighed in momentary defeat.

I looked at Jasper and mouthed "thank you," and he smiled at me in response.

We walked silently through the cafeteria, grabbing our food before we sat down at our table- the same table for the last two years, which was the furthest one from the door.

"Hey dude, have you seen the new girl?" a boy from one of the table closest to us asked his friend.

"Yeah… She's smoking hot too; I think she could give Rosalie Hale a run for her money," the second boy replied. Rosalie scoffed at them.

"Defiantly man, she has all the boys staring at her. I bet she has a few of them in love with her already." The boys laughed. "You know, I have her for gym," the first boy added.

"No way! Lucky bastard!" The other boy punched his arm.

"I can't believe them," Rosalie growled.

"Relax Rose there is no way that girl is more beautiful than you," Emmett tried to soothe her. Edward, could you look for the new girl so Rose will relax, please?

I sighed and began to look around the cafeteria; I heard Alice giggle and I turned to look at her with a confused look on my face.

I have her for fourth period, she's really pretty and Rose isn't going to be happy about that. I'm sure my face showed my disbelief. I'll help you look for her, she thought before she closed her eyes. Other end of the cafeteria, the table closest to the door, Alice thought with a mischievous smile.

I rolled my eyes and looked at to the table she mentioned. I felt my eyes widen and I blinked twice to make sure my impeccable eye sight had not decided to fail me.

She had brown hair with a slight reddish tint, soft, smooth-looking ivory skin, rosy cheeks and full, plump lips. Her eye color was a unique golden-brown hazel; her beauty was great enough to rival that of a female vampire.

I heard Alice and Jasper laugh at my expression.

"Hey Edward, you okay man?" You find her yet? Emmett asked. I nodded and turned around.

"Other end of the cafeteria, on the table closest to the door; she's sitting at the edge of the table," I said as I faced him. Emmett nodded and then looked; Rosalie followed his lead.

"Damn," they both said at the same time. Rosalie looked incredulous and angry with a hint of jealousy and Emmett… Well, he simply looked incredulous.

"I told you," Alice said in between her giggles.

"I bet she's shallow and stupid," Rosalie seethed as soon as she recovered from her shock.

"I think we should try to listen to her conversations before we judge," Alice suggested in a curious tone.

"I'm all for it, I have nothing else to do," Emmett put in with a shrug.

"I don't care either way, but like Emmett said, I have nothing else to do," I said, looking at the food on my plate.

"Okay then- it's settled," Alice said, and we all began to concentrate on finding the voices from the other end of the cafeteria.

"I'm sorry," the girl next to her murmured sadly.

"It's alright, it happens out there," the new girl murmured quietly back, her voice slightly laced with pain.

What were they talking about? was the thought that ran through all our heads. I decided to read the minds of the kids around her; I couldn't bring myself to see what she was thinking.

Poor girl, it must be really hard to lose her parents like that and to know that they never caught the person who murdered them. "It must be really hard to have to start all over," the boy whose thoughts I had just seen put in softly.

"When you've been through what I've been through and lived the live I've lived, getting a chance to start anew seems like a blessing," the girl replied. Her voice held some bitterness in it.

She speaks like she's been through more than your average teen.

"Yes Alice, she does," I agreed and went back to listening. I heard Mike Newton approach their table.

"You're Isabel right?" Wow she is hot.

"And you would be?" she challenged in a bored tone.

She is defiantly sexy, Newton thought. "Mike Newton."

He just had to come and talk to her didn't he? That is so typical of him, one of the girls from the table thought- clearly annoyed.

"So Isabel, would you like me to walk you to your next class?" There is no way she is going to be able to resist me.

Could Newton get anymore full of himself? Jasper cried in his head.

"No thanks, I'm better off in their company," she replied in a cold tone.

Playing hard to get huh? Well I'll play along- for now. And with that he walked away.

"You know you just threw away your opportunity at popularity, right?" the girl sitting next to the boy blurted out.

"And your point would be?" Isabel asked.

"No girl that I know of has ever said 'no' to the most popular guy in school- also known as Mike Newton."

"Well then it's a good thing that I'm not a girl, but a woman," she replied. A smirk was evident in her voice. After a few seconds the table burst out in laughter. Her laugh reminded me of Alice's but with a lot less soprano.

Isabel has attitude… I like her, Alice thought with a smile on her face. I shook my head at her.

As Alice got up from the table the bell rang. We all got up and threw our trash away before going to our next class.

The classroom was mostly empty so I sat down and took out a book to read. It was only a few minutes before the rest of the students walked in.

"Yeah… Just distracted." My head shot up from the book I was reading at the sound of the familiar satin voice.

From the corner of my eye I watched as Isabel and her friend sat down at the table in front of me.

I took a deep breath and a scent more pleasant than flowers or blood assaulted my nose. It was soothing and at the same time mouthwatering, but I felt no need to eat her.

My feeding instinct was absolutely silent.

I shook my head and went back to reading my book, but that was short-lived since I heard the sound of her voice again. "You're going to catch flies like that Angie."

I didn't need to look to know that a smirk was on her face.

"It's incredible… Is that… a … um… vampire or something?" her friend asked- her voice full of awe. I willed myself to relax from my suddenly stiff pose.

"No, Angela, it's my boyfriend," she replied, her voice heavy with sarcasm. "Of course it's a vampire. Isn't it obvious?" I stiffened again and listened intently to their conversation as I viewed the image from Angela's mind:

A man of about twenty was crouched, his teeth inches from a girl's neck. His face was twisted with the pleasure of the promise of blood, but the girls face was filled with undeniable panic. The drawing was so well drawn that it looked like a grayscale picture.

"Well, yes and no," Angela paused. "It's just that he looks so normal- except for the pale skin and extremely handsome features."

"That's the whole point, Angela... He's in disguise, pretending to be something he's not. When in reality nothing he does will change his nature- the nature of a monster."

"I guess I never thought of it like that," Angela muttered quietly.

"No one would, Angela. That's what makes it so perfect." Her satin voice carried a hint of darkness as she laughed. I felt worried.

Would this human girl become a problem to my family? There was only one way to find out.

I searched for her thoughts and found nothing but silence. I tried several more times, but since I found nothing I decided I would have to talk to Carlisle and the rest of the family about it.

I took out my phone and texted Carlisle. I told him that if he wasn't too busy at the hospital that I needed him to be home before I got there. I had to talk to him about something important.

"Welcome, class. I'm Banner Anderson, I will be teaching you Biology II, unless you didn't figure it out earlier-"

"I thought this was Calculus," a boy named Joe yelled out, and most of the class laughed with him. But Mr. Anderson had a very aggravated look on his face- and a quick look into his thoughts proved me right.

"I guess we know who the class clown is," Angela muttered and I couldn't help but smirk at her annoyance.

Look at that girl; she is defiantly checking me out. I flinched when Joe began to think very inappropriate things about her.

"Pig," I heard her satin voice murmur quietly. Angela giggled and Isabel shoved her playfully before she began to giggle along with her.

What are they doing?

"Would you ladies be kind enough to share what is so entertaining with the rest of the class," Mr. Anderson asked, walking to their desk. His tone made it very clear that he wasn't happy.

"Well Mr. Anderson… You see I was telling Angela that it is extremely rude for anyone to cause a commotion in a classroom while the teacher is talking, just to try and flirt with someone like Mr. Clown over there did earlier. And then Angela and I proceeded to laugh at his stupidity," she said. I could see in his mind that she was smiling brightly at him, a look of innocence in her golden hazel eyes.

Mr. Anderson shook his head and walked back to the board. All the while, he was muttering "Incredibly innocent little girl, eyes of a manipulative child," under his breath.

Had she sincerely just dazzled her way out of trouble? I had never seen a human do that. I had a feeling she could beat Alice at her own game.

This girl had to be special, more than I or anyone else had previously thought.

I wanted time to go by faster so that I could go home and talk to Carlisle, but since that wouldn't happen I decided to watch Isabel and her friend for the rest of the period, in hopes of finding something that could help me read her mind.

But I found nothing.
