Chapter 3
"Bella I can't do this!" Alice complained,
"Yes you can, just try, for me?" I gave her the puppy dog eyes, she sighed,
"Only because you're like a sister to me" she muttered, we stalked a little further into the woods until we came across this grumpy old caribou,
"He's all yours" I said to Alice, I had already pounced on a bear. It came naturally, and not a spot of blood on me. I was proud of myself. Alice was hesitant but gracefully landed on the animals back, she looked at me for instruction.
"Think about it's pulse, and where it's strongest that's the biggest hint your gunna get Alice!" I said to her, she nodded. I saw her close her eyes and then they snapped open, and without any hesitance she sank her teeth into the caribou's neck.
"Finished!" Alice called, considerably less irritable,
"That was fun!" she beamed,
"I told you could do it-" I tilted my head to the side,
"Your eyes have changed colour" I told her, Alice looked at me,
"Well so have yours" please be normal, please be normal. I handed Alice a little mirror so she could see her eyes,
"Ooh they're pretty!" Alice said in a very child-like way, trust Alice, I shook my head. Alice handed me the mirror and I looked at it hesitantly,
"You said they had changed!" I protested, extremely disappointed by the striking green staring back at me.
"They have! My new, extremely accurate, vampire sight has enabled me to see that the before red and orange flecks in you eyes are now golden like my eyes" I smiled,
"That's ok, I guess" Alice brushed herself off. I rolled my eyes, but did the same.
*~(6 months later)~*
"Bella? I need to go to a little diner around the corner, ok? I'll be back soon, promise. Keep the house tidy!" I huffed,
"I always keep the house tidy!" I protested,
"Ok, go but don't scare the old men again" I said she frowned, "Bella, if an old man started checking you out you'd growl at him as well. Ok thanks, today's an important day!" she skipped out of the room, I shook my head; a small smile on my face.
We were in Philadelphia at the moment, it was mid-day and there was a storm so we could go out. Alice had been excited all day and I had no idea why, she said I would have to wait and see; I hated it when she did that. We had found out that Alice had Clairvoyance, and me? Well I could manipulate energy.
I could lift things, I could stop electricity flow, or I could start it; I could take life, or give it. Pretty much anything that needed any type of energy I could control; I could even use someone else's power. I didn't like to though, it felt like an intrusion of privacy.
I was just finished straightening the already straight bed sheets on my bed. I then moved onto Alice's. I heard a key turn the lock in the door, I walked to greet Alice but I stood frozen when a blond haired man, covered in scars; walked through the door with her.
"Bella! This is jasper!" she squealed, I offered my hand,
"I'm Bella" he smiled shyly,
"Jasper" he seemed sweet, perfect for Alice.
"So I see you sought out your mate" I teased, Alice beamed,
"You don't have a mate?" Jasper asked quietly, I'm sure to not offend me. I shook my head as reply,
"That's why she's all depressed!" Alice chirped, I scowled,
"Am not" I muttered, knowing it was useless.
"C'mon then, I want details!" I said rubbing my hands together. Alice signalled for Jasper to start:
"I noticed there was a storm out during the day, I'm still not completely comfortable with being out in the daylight hours but I had gone out anyway; just to feel somewhat normal. It was raining-" Now that he mentioned it there was little droplets of rain in his hair.
"-I knew I shouldn't stand outside, it would draw attention standing in the pouring rain. I could either continue to stand there or I could go into a little half-filled diner. My eyes were dark and I was hesitant to go into a room full of people" Jasper smiled,
"She was there-expecting me, naturally" jasper chuckled,
"She hopped down from the stool she was sat on as soon as I walked in, and strode directly towards me"
"It shocked me, I was not sure if she meant to attack. That was the only explanation my past had to offer, but she was smiling. And the emotion that were emanating from her were like nothing I'd ever felt before. You've kept me waiting a long time was what she said to me" Jasper smiled and he looked so happy. Alice had a new sparkle in her eyes, and me…well I was the one left out.
Alice took over,
"You ducked your head like a good southern gentleman, and said I'm sorry ma'am" Alice laughed, the sound made Jasper's face light up noticeably.
"You held out your hand and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in almost a century I felt hope" I smiled at them as Jasper took Alice's hand.
"I'm just relieved, I thought you were never going to show up. You just stood there in the rain. I thought I was wrong" Alice explained,
"I've explained to Jasper about my gift, and yours. I hope you don't mind-" I shook my head smiling,
"I don't mind Alice, Jasper is as much apart of this family as you are now. Welcome to the nut house" we made a joke of our little escape-plan-gone-wrong a long time ago. He chuckled,
"And I've explained about my gift to Alice, but not you. Would you like me to explain?" He asked, the shy man back. I nodded, as to not make this difficult for him with a sarcastic comment.
"I can manipulate and inflict emotions, I'm an empath" Jasper said hesitantly,
"Does it revolve around energy?" I asked eagerly, he laughed,
"Yes, it does" Alice raised and eye brow in disapproval,
"I just wanted to know, I'm not going to do anything!" I said holding my hands up. Jasper looks amused,
"You don't want to steal my power?" he asked, I rolled my eyes.
"It would be borrowing, and no. I do not, Alice just assumes that I do".
Shortly after our first hunt me and Alice set to work on step two. Alice still wouldn't let me see the sheet it was getting to me. What was so great about hiding some steps from me? I mean honestly, Alice has such a twisted sense of humour. Anyway, back to the point, we found Alice could stand two weeks without a hunt. I could last indefinitely, we gave up after 8 weeks. However my eyes went darker after about 4 weeks. I just wasn't thirsty, at all.
Alice said it felt like a fire in your throat, a burning sensation. But I had never felt it. Alice's eyes were still red when the golden colour wore out, maybe a few days before she should hunt. She just hunted more than she needed to, to keep the suspicions practically non-existent.
Alice hadn't let me see the sheet but she said in step four it warned us about the volturi, and not to change children. She sort of had to tell me about that. Everything else though she said she could hide from me.
"Guess what Bella!" Alice squealed, I smiled at her enthusiasm,
"What is it Alice?" she bounced in her seat, Jasper looked somewhat awed,
"I completed all the steps!" I groaned,
"This is so unfair" I grumbled,
"Steps?" Jasper enquired, this led to Alice telling Jasper about the last 6 months and me sulking into my bedroom. We would have to move soon, I was getting bored and people were starting to realize that we were a little different. I'd have to discuss it with Alice and Jasper though.
*~(99 years later)~*
We had moved to England for 52 years; no noticed us in the hilly countryside, then to Chicago, and now we were on our way to Forks, Washington. England was beautiful, you could walk down a single street and see buildings from every era. Wild flowers grew intricately on the walls and floor, and the scenery was incomparable. Jasper and Alice had got married in an Old English church, inside though it had been lavish and exquisite, it was Alice all over. To be honest I didn't think Jasper was paying much attention to anything but his new wife, not like he hadn't done that before.
Chicago had been interesting, we had done some scooping; well Jasper had done some scooping, and found out that a doctor by the name or Carlisle Cullen had worked there around the time of Mine and Alice's change.
There had been a man who we suspected he had changed as a companion, and I wanted to find out more. Had this man had a family, siblings, what sort of life had he left behind? Alice had said I shouldn't be to nosey and to not go into their history, Jasper would so anything Alice wanted him to, so he obviously sided with her. He would even roll over like a dog in the middle of a park; it had been entertain I'll give him that.
I had gone ahead anyway, and it had been enthralling. I found out so much, and felt as if I knew him when he was alive, he had had a sibling; a sister, she had been beautiful just like her mother. I felt bad that he had to leave it all behind, even if his parents had died he still deserved a life, we all did.
All this while Alice had successfully converted Jasper to animal blood. He could last 3 weeks before he had to hunt, but preferred to not take his chances and plus then he got to hunt with Alice.
And now we making our way to Forks, it was meant to have bad weather; perfect for us. I sighed as I drove down to the rainy town, Alice and Jasper were snuggled in the back seat; Alice was reading a book and Jasper was reading over he shoulder. Alice turned the page,
"Hey! I wasn't done yet missy" Jasper teased, pushing Alice slightly,
"Sorry Jazz" she said and turned the page back over. It was times like these that I felt truly alone, I knew Jasper and Alice felt it too as Jasper was shooting waves of calm at me, and whatever Jasper did or felt Alice did too, and visa versa.
We pulled up to our new house, I beamed.
"You did a great job choosing the house Ali" I smiled at her. She shrugged one shoulder, smiling all the same,
"It's a talent" Jasper chuckled,
"Sure is" I covered my ear,
"I don't want to know how Alice choosing a big bed was beneficial for you ok!" they both laughed and I pouted as I got out of the car.
We unpacked and it was about 6pm when Alice screamed,
"What is it Alice?" me and Jasper said in unison while we skidded into the room she was in.
"I forgot some shopping!" Our jaws dropped, oh god. This must be bad, can you get vampire doctors?
"Alice who in hell did you forget shopping!" I asked incredulous,
"I was just a little occupied with the future, that's all c'mon we need to go shopping!" me and Jasper looked at each other, my eyes saying She's your wife! You go! Jaspers saying She's your best friend! Go do girly stuff! we had these conversations often.
"NOW!" Alice was getting distraught,
"Um, Alice? I'm going to stay home and perfect everything. I'm sure your husband would love to go shopping with you, considering your married" I smiled and bounced out of the room.
I didn't do much apart from tidy and straighten everything in the house. I got bored and decided to pop into the school. It was a cloudy Friday, we had arrived too late to actually go to school but I could collect our schedules and maps. I locked the door on my way out and made it over to my new Lamborghini Gallardo, pitch black of course. The money had sort of accumulated over the years, none of us would have to work because of financial difficulties; but one of us will to keep up pretences. Three teens living alone would need some sort of income. We have planned a little competition to see who gets the short straw, none of us want to work.
I pulled up into the full parking lot. I looked at the time, 3:01. They would finish in 39 minutes, I did not want to face the school on my own. I'd do it with Jasper and Alice. I hesitantly walked up to reception. I thought I could smell vampire, but we hadn't come across to many in our travels. At most 20, so I couldn't be sure, every vampire smelt different but it was there. But what would a vampire be doing in a human school? You could ask yourself the dame question, dumb ass. Stupid internal voice dishing out criticism.
I walked up to the receptionist, her name tag read Ms. Cope, but a normal human wouldn't notice that. Would they? Oh I don't know!
"Hello, I'm new. I thought I could collect my map and schedule?" she looked up and did a double take. Here we go again,
"Certainly just a moment" she tapped at her keyboard, looking a little flustered.
"I just need you to confirm some details" I nodded, then realized that a human wouldn't be able to notice that either. Been out of civilization for a while have we? My brain taunted, not helpful.
"What is your name"
"Isabella Brandon"
"Sister"
"Alice Brandon"
"And your brother"
"Jasper Whitlock"
"Well it all seems to be in order, here you are" she handed me some sheets, but you could tell she was curious as to why me and Alice had a different name to Jasper.
"Thank you" I said to her sweetly, she pushed a flyer across the top of the desk,
"Those are the school events, they are very important to us everyone goes" this seemed like she was threatening me, poorly I might add, to go to these events. Almost like, Go to these or detention, and me replying Say that again and I'll suck your blood. I hadn't ever drank from a human, but that didn't mean I couldn't threaten people, right?
*~(Next morning)~*
Today was November 17th, our first day at Forks High School. The weekend had been uneventful and my music had drowned out Alice's and Jasper's antics last night. I really didn't need to be there along with them. I shivered, and cringed.
Plodding downstairs I looked around the new house. It was larger than any other houses we had had in the past, it was four stories tall. Panelled wood outside, and the walls seemed to wrap around the shape of the house gracefully. A balcony was around the back of the house, whilst the front windows had window seats. I would sit on the window seat in my room and read a book while the world went by my window. It was nice to feel like we were finally settling down for at least a few decades, whilst we could contribute to civilization.
Alice had laid my clothes out for me and I was already dressed so I took the opportunity to read the flyer I was given yesterday.
Event's at Forks High
Monday the 24th Nov: Themed dance, (Buffy the vampire slayer)
Friday the 2nd Dec: Fundraiser Wolf themed (Help save the Olympic wolf)
Saturday the 17th Dec: Christmas party (No costume required, formal wear)
A new flyer will be given out next term for the spring Events, flyers will also be available from the school office.
I knew forks was big on its myths but honestly, Wolves and Vampires? Seriously? Well that was going to be ironic. I pinned the flyer on the notice board so that Alice and Jasper could see it later, I might as well get to school early; seeing as they weren't quite…finished.
"I'm going to school!" I yelled up the stairs and walked out the front door. School bag on shoulder. I arrived at school with plenty of time to spare, but little patience. Everyone was staring and I remembered yesterday why I wanted to be in and out quickly. I had wanted to face the stares with Alice and Jasper.
The whispering was loud and profound. How do humans come up with such rubbish? Did I look like I was 6 months pregnant? This. Is. Going. To. Be. Hell. Simples. (A:N, I love the compare the market Meerkat!)
I cautiously walked into the school and quickly went over our cover story.
Me and Alice were non-identical twins. Our mother died and married Jasper's mother, his father had died. Our father and step-mother were on a drive when a drunk man in a gang had shot their petrol tank killing himself, the gang, and our parents. The three of us lived alone; me and Alice were posing as 16 so we were juniors, and Jasper was posing for 17 so he was a senior. Jasper was our legal guardian. It had taken a while but I had made both Alice and Jasper see that it was more beneficial if they weren't in the same year.
I felt an arm link round each of mine.
"Nice to see you could join me" I teased Alice and Jasper,
"Sorry we just-" I shook my head,
"I don't want to know Alice" Jasper chuckled,
"They're like hawks" he muttered in my ear,
"You're telling me" we froze just as we got through the cafeteria doors. Standing at the other side of the room, as solid as statues, were three vampires. I had been right, Forks High School, is infested, with blood sucking, vampires.
Did you like? No, yes? Let me know =) they say I have tonsillitis and something else. But you never know with me, I catch colds and viruses so quickly it's not even worth the time off school. I have to stop now the screen's giving me a headache, let me know if you enjoyed this chapter.
