BPOV

I woke up 10 minutes before my alarm, in mid scream because of yet another nightmare. I had so much of them throughout the night that it's hard to differentiate them all. Him leaving, James attacking, Them leaving, Victoria finally getting to me the dreams changed so frequently even in my unconsciousness it made me dizzy. I sat up to stretched out my stiff muscles, and my phone vibrated I picked it up to check the message.

Meet you outside. I'll follow you to school.-Eve.

I grabbed some jeans and a sweater, walked into the bathroom and got ready for school. I stepped outside I find Eve, sitting on top of a midnight blue motorbike looking like a model off a car and bike magazine. Instantly I was jealous she wasn't even trying. She was wearing light blue distressed ripped jeans a white v neck T-shirt and a black leather jacket. "So unfair, stupid vampires," I mumbled. She smirked; she knew I was talking about how amazing she looked even in plain clothing.

"Let's get to school, Isa. I can't wait to play with humans again." She rubbed her hands together mischievously. I walked to my truck shaking my head, and started the car, as she put on her helmet. I drove off with her at my tail. "I could help you with your clothes if you want."

"I don't have any money to buy any new clothes I'm saving for college." I say aloud knowing she'd hear me. "We'll see." Is all she said.

We drove up into the crowded school parking a lot, while I think about how I'm going to refuse whatever she is planning. I get out of the car and all eyes are on Eve everyone in the parking lot is staring at her, waiting for her to take off her helmet so they can see who is showing up to school with me. She turned her head and looked in my direction, I could almost see her smirk.

"God, your so smug!" I think at her. She laughed and took her helmet off and shook out her hair, as everyone watched as she attached her helmet to her bike and walked over to me. "You should show me where the office is." She put her arm through mine.

"Did you have to make such an entrance?" I ask her faking annoyance. "What? …I love my bike, and the rest was just to annoy you, and to entertain myself with the thoughts." We walk towards the office. I never asked Him what others were thinking except for a couple of times, and he barely told me. I wonder if Eve will. "What were they thinking?" She looked at me from the corner of her eyes and smiled. "The quote, unquote popular girls think I should hang out with them to boost their popularity. Which is ridiculous, how popular can you be in a small town." I laugh at that, she's right I always found that funny too. "The guys mostly thought X rated things, human boys minds are not that creative. Want to bend me over this, spank me when I'm naughty, do me on my bike." I gaped at her and blushed, and she laughed. "You're going to be doing that a lot, I'm quite lewd." The blush in my cheeks darkened another shade of crimson, and I ducked my head down so my hair framed my face. Eve managed to get into all my classes. Her story is that she is an emancipated teen, after her parents died in a car accident.

School was still hell but it was bearable with her here and she managed to make me laugh at how even the teachers found her intimidating, but I could do without the attention though. The school bell rang for lunchtime and we made or way to the cafeteria the constant staring reminded me of my first day here. "I'll grab a tray and add stuff you eat onto it. It will help with my cover you'll eat off my tray." I nodded.

When we got through the line, we sat at their old table. Eve pulled out her thermos of blood and began drinking. I shuddered watching her, but she just looked at me and smirked. "Why are you protecting me?" I just blurted out not even thinking. " I mean not that I'm not grateful." But I've been racking my brain for the reason. "You're worth it." She simply said. "That's it." She looked toward the middle of the cafeteria and frowned. "Fine, so a easy question. How old are you?"

"In vamp years or human?"

"Both."

"I'm 150 maybe more I don't keep track, but I was turned when I was 16."

I just stared at her; she looked like see could be 18 but then again she could pass for 16 as well. "The fact that you look older comes in handy, with whatever it is that you do." I desperately try and get information out of her.

"Doesn't matter, I mostly use my glamour."

"Glamour?"

She laughs lightly. "It's what I call my appearance changing gift or talent."

"Oh yeah I forgot about that, so everyone see you as a blonde?" She took a sip out of her blood cup, while simultaneously saying "Yep." I look around the cafeteria and see people still staring at us, and Eve staring at me on the verge of laughing. And then it clicks.

"Oh my gosh! You asshole!" She starts laughing at me. "Ugh! You made everyone think I was talking to myself." She continues to laugh.

"I was wondering when you were going to figure it out." She turns and towards the middle of the cafeteria and frowns again. "Everyone thinks I'm crazy enough," I groan.

She closes the cap to her thermos. "We're going to get visitors." Lauren and Jessica were getting up out of their sits and headed towards us at the moment. They approach the table and completely ignored me. "Hey I'm Jessica and this is Lauren."

"I'm sure you know my name." Eve responds while flashing a smile showing all her teeth, which causes Jessica to laugh nervously. "We just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out with us, clearly she can't be much fun." Lauren said jabbing a finger in my direction. Oh so they know I'm here. "Isa and I are having great time. So thanks." She said dismissively.

The rest of the school day was uneventful, except for Eve constantly talking to me during gym. Effectively distracting me from the volleyball game causing me to be even more clumsy then usual. She would laugh and send me mental pictures of the Bambi cartoon learning to walk. I would fake my level of annoyance but really our banter and her antics felt like I was dealing with a sibling. She really did feel like a sister to me.

After school we drove to my house and Jake was waiting outside. "Hey Bella can I talk to you for a second." Jacob asked. "Sure Jake."

"I'll be inside, the stink of dog is making me sick." She finished telepathically. That' s right vampire and the wolves have a certain smell to each other. I wonder why Jake hasn't mentioned anything about Eve.

"There is a new bloodsucker here and I wondered if you knew her," he said giving me a hard look. "What are you talking about?" I fake ignorance, though I can tell he saw right through it. "The red-headed leech." I could feel all the blood drain from my already pale face. "Victoria, you've seen her," I whisper. "Yeah we chased her out of Forks a couple of times. Bella, are you alright?" I shake my head to clear my thoughts. "Um yeah, s-she's after me. Last year t-the Cu-llens killed her, her mate James, " I stumble and struggle through the sentence as I feel my chest tightening and my breaths getting heavier.

I felt a wave of calm as Eve comes out the door, and eyes Jacob. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine," I wave her off. "Bella don't worry we'll take care of this." Jacob got into his car and drove off. Eve walked me into the house and got me a glass of water. "I was hoping to deal with her myself without the wolves."

"Eve, what's going on? Why are you really here? Why would you put yourself in danger to help me!? Now the pack is going after her too what if they get hurt or you get hurt it would be all my fault," I sobbed. "Isa!" She grabbed me by the shoulders "You. Are. Worth. It. Why can't you see that? We all are worth something, and keeping you alive is important." I took a couple of minutes for me to calm down and collect myself. "Why am I so important?" She shrugged, "You'll know soon enough."

I hated her cryptic and vague answers.

I tried to push the thoughts of Victoria deep into the depths of my mind as I prepared dinner for Charlie. Just like yesterday Eve helped by preparing the chopped foods. But my ever so curious mind wanted answers to certain questions. Eve although is an amazing friend I could tell she wasn't telling me everything and she had a lot of secrets.

The easiest question came to mind and I asked her how is it that Jacob doesn't know what she is by smell at least. She told me that she is able to pull her scent so that no one can smell her but she has to constantly feed to maintain it. Eve left to hunt soon after meeting Charlie and of course he loved her instantly.
