Turn of Events

Vampires! In Forks, Washington! How could I have been so stupid! Of course it would be just my luck that my father lives in the rainiest city in the entire continental US! Apparently, that fact did not go unnoticed by vampires.

I was past panicking, I had no clue what to do about an entire coven of vampires! I knew my powers would help me, and I could probably defeat 2 or 3 vampires, but an entire coven! My goal in coming here was to stay hidden!

Rational thought caught up to me at this point. They had no clue who I was or who I was destined to be, maybe it would be fine, but then again, they fed off of human blood!

It was then I noticed their eye color- gold. I could have laughed in relief, they would not hurt a human, and to them I was just a normal human...a hand ran in front of my face breaking off my thoughts.

"Bella!" A girls voice said. "Bella!!" The girl was getting more irritated by the minute. I shook my head and turned to my right to see an annoyed Jessica.

"Hmm, what?" I asked her, turning my entire body to face her. She had my full attention, or so she thought.

"Why were you staring at the Cullens with your eyes bulging out of your head like you had just seen a ghost?" she questioned me. Out of my peripheral vision I saw the vampire family perk up, listening. Not a ghost Jessica, but close.

I decided to play ignorant, "Who?" I asked her.

She was irritated again, "The extremely gorgeous family sitting across the lunchroom who you were gaping at." She nodded toward them.

"Oh them, they look like a family I used to know." I told her offhandedly as I improvised. It seemed to appease her.

"Ok, then." She broke off quickly, "Wait, they aren't the same family are they." she looked at me with a questioning glance. Why was she so curious?

"No, they aren't." I told her slowly, but then I got an idea, "However, they do look like them." At this it seemed the Cullens seemed to sit up a bit straighter, but I didn't care if they listened in or not. "What can you tell me about them?" I asked Jessica. She seemed like the perfect gossiper to get some useful information out of.

"Well, they are all adopted by Dr. Carlisle and Esme Cullen." That made sense. They would have needed a cover story as to why they all look so different. I was watching them in the corner of my eye as she spoke, and Jessica didn't seem to notice. She was so enraptured in her story. "The large one is Emmett," I could tell the vampire smirked at the mentioning of the word 'large'. "The one sitting next to him is Rosalie," It was the gorgeous blonde-haired one. Jessica's tone rang with bitterness. Obviously some people here were completely jealous of Rosalie. "Next to Rosalie, the short, dark-haired one is Alice." Alice reminded me of the human idea of a pixie. In reality, pixies are just faerie children. "Next to her is Jasper, the tall, blonde one." With my enhanced vision, I could see the battle scars on him that were invisible to humans. He had obviously been around during the newborn battles the book had talked about.

You see while the book was last under Lyla's possession, because of its own magic, it filled in the history of the years after her death. So I knew the complete history of the Southern vampire covens. I wonder which battles he had been in?

"Last of all, is Edward." she sighed. Apparently she had some kind of crush on Edward. Through the corner of my eye I could see the one with bronze hair slightly cringing, as if in pain. I wondered why.

"So they all live together?" I asked Jessica, bringing her back down to earth. I still needed information.

"Yes," she said. "Jasper and Rosalie are Hales, and the rest are Cullens. Apparently, they were adopted when they were about eight or something and raised since then by Carlisle and Esme. Esme couldn't have children or something." Well, I knew that. She was a vampire.

It seemed they were detached from the general student body, and I still wanted to know more. I decided to use one of my powers I had discovered right around my seventeenth birthday, mind reading. It was a trait I had gained from the dragons, according to the book.

Without hesitation, I took hold of my gift and delved into the unsuspecting vampire's minds. I was hit with a wave of thoughts immediately.

"why can't I read the new girl's mind? I don't like this, not at all..." I could tell from the location it was Edward's voice. So his power was mind reading? That was interesting. We had something in common.

"So many humans...just one bite..." that one was Jasper. I would need to keep an eye on him. It seemed he was the weakest at their diet. At that moment Edward kicked Jasper's chair. Obviously, he had heard Jasper's thoughts as well. Jasper mumbled an apology and turned away. Clearly, he did not like being weak. I can imagine he was a military type from the battle scars, and I guessed it was just a trait that had stuck with him.

Alice's mind was an onslaught of pictures. The majority of them involving Jasper. I heard her thinking as she skimmed through, "I don't see him doing anything, Edward. He should be fine for the rest of the day." I watched the pictures more intently. There was one of the bell ringing and students exiting the school. She could see the future? Wow, that must be handy.

The big burly one named Emmett had a very straight-forward mind. His thoughts were on a rematch of some wrestling match he had done with Jasper last night. He seemed very like-able. Almost like a giant teddy bear.

Rosalie, well her mind was self-centered...and vain. Her thought were of herself, and her beauty. Could she be any more shallow?

It seemed like they were pretty in control, other than Jasper. I felt slightly proud of them. They were deifying what they were so they wouldn't have to murder humans. I smiled to myself.

I turned off my power, and rejoined the conversation of the table. After a minute, the Cullen's left, walking gracefully out of the cafeteria to the hallway.

A moment later, Jessica decided she was done and asked what my next class was.

"Um.. Biology." I told her, after checking my schedule in my purse.

"I have that, too. Come on, I will walk with you to class." She said. I readily agreed as I did not want to be escorted by Mike or Eric again.

We threw our uneaten food away, and exited the cafeteria. I saw the Cullens at the end of the hallway, but other than that, everyone was in the cafeteria. We grabbed our books at our lockers and headed toward the Biology building, and toward the Cullens. They were in a huddle whispering quieter than I could hear at this distance, and stopped as Jessica and I got closer to them.

"I have to get a drink." Jessica said, walking to the water fountain about ten feet past the Cullens. I nodded to her and smiled as she walked toward it. The Cullens simply turned around to look at me, not speaking. It felt slightly disconcerting, to be stared at as they scrutinised me. I bet they had been discussing how their powers wouldn't work on me.

As Jessica approached the fountain, time seemed to slow down. Her right foot slipped on a puddle of water, and Jessica went falling forward. Her books flew into the air, as she tried to catch herself, but it was too late. Her head hit the metal fountain with a resounding "Clang!" and she fell to the wet floor, unconscious. I only took notice of one fact after she hit her head: there was blood, and five thirsty vampires next to her.

I looked up at them faster than even a vampire could register, and saw what I feared most: Jasper's eyes were pitch black, all reason lost from them. His body fell into a crouch.

I knew I had to do something, and quickly.
