You guys liked last chapter better? Good, =) I was starting to think I should stop. Anyway, if you still like this then let me know! Its nice to hear your thoughts, I don't care if they are just ramblings I'll read them anyway. Here are those who kindly took the time to review;
AmbieBubs - Thank you for reviewing all my twilight stories! it's nice =) hope you like this chapter
angeleyenc - Update has arrived, enjoy :D
Tash 4 Twilight- yay! I'm not the only person in the world that is constantly sick! normally it isn't that bad but its worse this time. Hope you like the chapter =D
narutosonlyfriend - I'm glad I changed your mind, it was a little boring to start with. I haven't done a fanfic for twilight where they hate each other to start with, so I thought I'd give it a go. to answer your question, they never actually met Carlisle but they just sort of dug up some dirt and put the pieces together, they weren't certain until Bella recognized Edward. no one else recognises him, and when they found out about Carlisle Edward would have come back to Carlisle and Esme. the only reason they began to research was because the mysterious doctor seemed to show vampires characteristics and left around the time Alice and Bella were changed, it caught their interest. sorry about this length feedback. enjoy the chapter =)
twihard22 - here's your update! the rivalry has started dun-dun-dunnnnnn! anyway enjoy! :D
Thank you to all of those who reviewed, the 10 who faved, and the 9 who alerted. It means a great deal =)
Sorry that this is getting updated faster than my other stories, one) I'm stuck for ideas, they're there I just don't know how to get them down, two) this is easier to write, and less strenuous on my bed bound, sick self. And three) as it's a new story the ideas just sort of write them selves. I WILL update, just when I can word my ideas and when I get better. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Enjoy the chapter and hopefully review!

Chapter 4
We stood there, frozen. The whole populous of Forks High staring at us on the outskirts of the gangway they had created from one group of vampires to the other. The group of three vampires consisted of a big, bulky, muscular male with brown curly hair. A tall, blond and in one word; stunning, female. And lastly there was another male with bronze unruly hair, angular features, and an intense gaze.
What shocked me most was that the last member of the group was Edward Anthony Masen. The man Dr. Carlisle Cullen had changed all those years ago, well that's what we thought; digging into files and evidence can only go so far you know?
Our Coven was glaring at there's. After eyeing each other up I couldn't take it. I strutted towards them with a purpose. I glared hard and deadly, as I approached them.
I felt Alice and Jasper flank me, I guess I was the leader. I paused in front of them, one hand on hip. It was better to put up a front, I didn't know what we were up against.
"What are you doing here?" The blond spat, I snarled. Making the bulky one step in front of the blond…
"Awww they're mates. Pathetic" I sneered, rolling my eyes. They all started sizing up, Jasper looking the bulky one down, Alice's small form frightening Edward; and I had the blond about ready to wet herself.
"You didn't answer my question" She said through clenched teeth,
"Who said it was worth answering?" I spun round and strode out the cafeteria, walking up the gangway the humans had cleared and made my exit. I guess they could be useful sometimes.
The day was tense and full of Alice getting irritated with Jasper's over protectiveness. His was in the year above and was sitting in on Alice's classes, it wasn't helping with our story. We made our was the lunch, they would be there and we all knew it. Jasper snaked his arm around Alice's waist and I took the lead. I slammed the doors open, I think a big entrance is better. We walked in sync to a table in the corner of the room, I plonked myself down and put my feet up on the table. Alice giggled as Jasper held the chair out for her.
I listened in on their table. I knew their names (courtesy of Alice) but I wasn't going to use them until I had devised a plan with Jazz and Alice at home.
"You know I don't think the two mate's mean any harm, the one with attitude; we need to keep an eye on her though" I so didn't have attitude! The blond is going to burn in hell!
"Rose, how do you know she isn't just putting up a front for her coven? Maybe she's just concerned for their safety" the bulky one tried to reason with his mate.
"I don't think it's that, I think they are all good fighters; I just think it's a defence mechanism" Edward shrugged, (yes I know I'm calling him by his name, but I've practically stalked him! Ok I did stalk him, but it was before coming here, so that makes it ok).
"What do you mean, 'you think'?" the blond said in an irritated hushed voice,
"I can't read her mind" So Edward was a mind reader? Well it's good he can't read my mind, but he could read Alice's and Jaspers.
"Guys!" I snapped Alice and Jazz out of their 'moment' and glared at them,
"Chill Bella" Alice said off handily,
"Well then, I'll just let the mind reader read your mind then" I said inspecting my nails. Alice froze in a state of panic,
"Think of something else, religiously. Non-stop. Like translating the dictionary into Dutch" Alice raised an eyebrow
"Only you have enough time in the night to memorize the dictionary. But I get your drift" I glowered at her, Jasper learnt a long time ago to stay out of our little teasing competitions. It usually left him sore and bruised.
*~(back home)~*
"Bella! We can't fight them!" Alice protested, I huffed and folded my arms across my chest.
"Why not?" Jasper looked amused,
"Because, Bella. One) you just want an excuse to show off-" I shrugged, I wasn't going to deny it.
"-And two, we don't know their strengths or size" Jasper said, always the soldier. But my plans were the plans that got us out of trouble…and into it. But over all I beat Jasper 4:1, so there.
"We have a psychic, an empath, and me. What else could we possibly need?" I protested,
"How would any of that help?" Jasper retorted,
"Are you serious? How wouldn't it! Alice could predict their moves, Jasper you could make them feel all soppy or tired and then take them out. And me, well I can look after myself" Over the years I had toughened up. I could fight with my eyes shut, my power was mastered, my mental shield I could manipulate, and I could use an opponents own power against them. I could use my energy to combust them, or ignite fire. I was like fire to a vampire, I was death; that is if you catch me on my bad side. Otherwise I'm an alright vampire.
"How about we don't fight, but we can threaten…" Alice saw my face,
"…Repeatedly-" she looked at me again, I still wasn't satisfied,
"-And are allowed to follow through if the opportunity arises?" she squeaked, I broke out into a smile and nodded.
"Sounds good" Alice and Jasper let out a breath in unison.
"Right well…" Jazz started, I smiled,
"Go on you two" I felt like a mum,
"Love you Bella" they chorused as Jasper chased Alice up the stairs.
*~(Tuesday morning)~*
All three of us were sat round the kitchen table, Alice was sketching costumes for the dance, and I was conversing with Jasper. Alice had already made up her mind; until she knows they pose as no threat then she won't be pleasant. If they do pose as a threat and make the first move then she'll attack. We all knew that was how it was going to go but were just to stubborn to admit it.
"So we call them by name?" I enquired, Jasper looked at me like I was insane, I probably was. But who was I to judge?
"Why in the world would we do that? We aren't having pleasant afternoon tea!" Jasper always got stressed when Alice could be in danger.
I remember the time he put her on a plane and told the pilot to just stay put in the air until he found the vampire that had complemented her shoes! It was sweet but extremely irritating, she had my book!
"Because, it will freak them out. Spout random knowledge and it will make them paranoid. On edge. I like making the prey squirm a bit" Jasper rolled his eyes, but agreed that it would be best to let them know we had the upper hand. As far as we know for certain, there is only three of them. And only one of the three has a gift.
We made our way to school, always on alert, always expecting. But nothing happened, we walked into school looking over our shoulders every few seconds but nothing was there. Of course I could sense it but I felt better if I saw not just sensed.
"Alice is everything ok?" I asked her, she knew I wasn't talking about the present, but the future.
"Yeah everything's just fine, for now" our conversation would sound strange to anyone else but we understood that's all that mattered. Jasper had agreed to go to his own classes today. While me and Alice shared the same schedule anyway.
We were stood outside English because we were early, when the teacher came out of the class room and told us we could come in. He had smiled at us and said he wanted an introduction when the class started. Great. You know, I think this is why there is no privacy in this town! Right from the off everyone knows your life story!
It was lucky me and Alice had this story memorized, I bet I could write it backwards in 17 languages within 10 seconds.
"Settle down class, we have new students; Isabella and Alice Brandon. Shall we do the hot seat?" There was a chorus of cheers and encouragement. Seriously? They sit you down to be asked questioned? Nosey town means nosey people.
"I'm Bella"
"I'm Alice"
"We're non-identical twins" We said in unison,
"We just moved from Chicago" Alice said with a smile,
"Well that's a first! We've never had twins in Forks!" the teacher exclaimed, it wasn't really something to get excited about. We weren't even real twins, but they didn't need to know that.
"Is Jasper Whitlock your brother?" a boy piped up,
"We're not related, but he's our step-brother" there were a few murmurs, some were making Alice burn holes in peoples head, some made her eyes turn an angry black.
"Ok I think the lesson should get underway" the teacher said nervously while loosening his collar with one finger as he watched the staring contest Alice was participating in.
The day went by surprisingly quietly, we hadn't come across the other coven once. The three of us walked out to the parking lot in high spirits. Alice was skipping and dancing, all the while tugging Jasper along with her. He looked lost and uncoordinated as he jogged to keep up with Alice's fairy like movements. I just laughed looking down and shaking my head.
We got to my car but froze when three people were blocking our way. They better not scratch my car, if they scratch my car they will be personally escorted to their death. Courtesy of moi.
"Bella chill they're not going to hurt your car" Alice whispered in my ear, Edward chuckled and I glared at him. It doesn't matter if I stalked him, no one was going to know about that; and I didn't take kindly to being laughed at.
"Would you mind moving, preferably NOW!" I growled, Emmet looked petrified but still tugged Rosalie behind him. It felt weird using their names, I spose I would take some getting used to.
"We need to talk" Edward said, calm and collected.
"Yeah I'm sure we do, now get lost before you find out what my talking is like" I knew Jasper would be getting flash backs of the time we had been in town at night and a man had asked me if I wanted to 'talk' back at his place. His head had rolled down the street and fell down an open drain, I felt sorry for the human who had to find that. The man had been a vampire, of course; I could have dealt with a human in a more civil way. Edward seemed to pale and I jagged Jasper's side. He looked at me, and then realized what was happening. He looked smugly at Edward.
He stood his ground though.
"We don't take kindly to hybrids being on our territory" Rosalie hissed, I snarled,
"I'm not a hybrid" I sneered at her,
"You still have your human eye colour, and you look more human than the other vampires in you coven. I think you are" Rosalie retorted,
"Well I'd stop making assumptions, or better yet do not use your brain. I think your straining yourself, I wonder how much the change enhanced your intellect, or did it destroy it?" she looked about ready to rip my head off. In fact she was about to pounce. Alice would had seen it but I could take care of myself. I check no humans were in the surrounding area with my shield and then held her frozen in mid pounce.
"Like I said, MOVE" I stared pointedly at Emmet, he seemed like the biggest threat. His eyes were soft though as he looked at me, Edwards head snapped in my direction.
"Where's your mate?" Emmet asked, sadness in his tone, or pity. I resisted the urge to kill him there and them; I hated pity.
"I have no need for a mate" Jasper could probably feel my loneliness and I hope he was covering it up well because I didn't want Edward finding out. Jasper could think about all the noisy things he and Alice did last night, I don't care so long as my emotions are kept between me and him. Or just me but he had said all my emotions we so much stronger than anyone else's, that I seemed to put everything I had into an emotion. They were strong and powerful, it had scared him at first, and there was no way he could block them out.
Rosalie scoffed, "Sure" I narrowed my eyes,
"Seeing as you are still completely under my control I'd keep the sarcastic comments to yourself" I said smiling but my eyes held true to the threat.
"We'll leave, just put my mate down" Emmet pleaded, he seemed like an alright guy to be honest. I lowered Rosalie to the ground, breaking her heal on purpose. She shrieked and was about to hit me,
"Ah, Ah, Aah. I wouldn't do that" I teased in a mocking tone.
"Vampires that play with fire, get burned"
Enjoy? Review!
Who do you think Bella should befriend first? Emmet? Or maybe they would have a forbidden love thing going on? Let me know what you like =)
