CHAPTER 15 - What Did You Just Say?

•~Annabelle Cullen~•

- 1 year later (Fork, Washington, 2009) –

After living in one place for nearly one hundred year we all agreed that it was time for a change in scenery. Putting it off would have just made it harder for Javonn to move on without his sister. So we all decided together to move; though we wanted to live in a small town this time. We wanted to move somewhere it is cloudy a lot so we wouldn't don't have to confine ourselves to the house.

That's how we ended up in Forks – a town in Washington State on the Olympic Peninsula, with a near constant cover of cloud. I already have a massive home ready for us on the far east of Forks, courtesy of Aro, Marcus and Caius, which is surrounded by forests, meadows and lakes – perfect for hunting and exploring.

This time round we all decided that we would go to school. Of course for some of us we'll be acting younger than we are physically. Despite Javonn only just out of his newborn stages, he couldn't even call them that because to be honest...he just skipped right over that phase and isn't tempted by blood. He's even learnt how to block any of our bloodlusts from affecting him so he's been doing really well. So, all in all, every single one of us has signed up for Forks High School.

Today is our first day there. The annoying thing is that even with everyone's super-enhanced senses and coordination as well as being alive for so many years, everyone apart from Yvon and I are taking forever to get themselves ready. With me I could get ready in a flash with my eyes shut so-to-speak and Yvon just uses her power to get ready and then only has to put on her clothes. But no, they others cannot go that fast considering they can move near to the speed of sound.

Yvon is just reading a few magazines while waiting for Javonn to finish but I decided not to wait for them and go on ahead to the school. Exiting the house I hopped into my red and black Dodge Viper, roaring it life, and headed toward the school. Before I knew it though I had arrived there in no time – next time I think I'll take it a little slower than I just did. Oh well; I shrugged off the though and stepped out of my car.

As I closed my door, my phone went off – vibration only though. I dug it out from my pocket to see who it is. It was only them back home. Swiping my thumb from left to right on the screen I answered the call – it only works now because we had to tweak the heat sensor inside the phone to allow our skin temperature to work – and lifted it to my ear.

"What do you guys want?" I asked.

"What time does school start Annie?" replied a voice that belonged to Arla.

"Well it's 07:50am right now so you have twenty five minutes until period one begins." I told her.

"Okay, thanks Annie, we'll be there. Don't worry," she said before hanging up.

"Oh but do I worry," I voiced to myself.

Turning around towards the school building a petite and pixie-like figure, with a graceful gait, black hair cropped short and...Golden eyes. Immediately I knew she's a vampire and her scent confirmed it, but she appears to be on the same animal diet as me.

"Hi! I'm Alice, Alice Cullen," I almost choked on air when she mentioned her last name. "Erm, are you okay?" she asked concerned.

"Yes, sorry...I was just surprised to hear your last name, that's all," I explained. Why the hell does she have, a vampire, have 'Cullen' for a last name?

"Why would my name surprise you?" she asked confused.

"I'm Annabelle Cullen," her eyes widened at that. Just then a very familiar male came over to join Alice. He was tall with honey blonde hair, muscular but lean and with the same Golden orbs too. He came over and wrapped his arm around her waist protectively. His face and body are covered with crescent-shaped scars. So this is where you've ended up after all these years, is it Major Jasper Whitlock? I asked silently.

"Annabelle–" Alice started.

"Just Annie will be fine," I interrupted with a smile.

She nodded, "Annie, this is my husband Jasper Cullen," he held his hand out to shake mine, which I accepted.

"Jasper, this is Annabelle Cullen," his eyes widened but only slightly. The surprise was evident in his eyes though.

A moment later my family decided to drive into the car park. Niklas and Adalynn arrived in a silver BMW 3-series; Brendon, Arla and Ivor in a black Ford Mondeo; Javonn and Yvon in a white Audi TT (metal top). We weren't exactly getting a less conspicuous with our transport choices were we?

They all got out of their cars and they made their way over to me. The couples either held hands or wrapped an arm round each other. Ivor just came over to stand by my side.

"We haven't seen other vegetarian coven since your other family in– oomph!" Brendon didn't even get to finish that sentence as both Arla and I both elbowed in the gut, knocking the breath out of him. He can be so stupid sometimes! He should know better than to talk about the Volturi around people other than ourselves.

Alice and Jasper both gave us a peculiar look, "Anyway, everyone, this is Alice and her husband Jasper," I turned to face the new vampires in front of us, "Alice, Jasper, this is Arla and her husband Brendon, Niklas – Arla's twin brother – and his wife Adalynn, Yvon and her husband Javonn and finally Ivor – Brendon's younger brother." I introduced to both parties.

Alice smiled brightly and waved while Jasper gave a stiff nod in their direction, "We are just two of seven in our family. Three more go to school here with us while our leader works at the hospital as a doctor and his wife stays at home but often does voluntary work for children and the homeless." Alice explained to us.

"Well, this is all of my family right here so that's eight of us." I informed them. I'm still baffled as to how my family name is still known over three hundred years later when I was the last in our family line and it wasn't by far a common surname either.

"We all need to go and collect our timetables now so...we'll see you guys later," we all said our goodbyes to each other with a few waves and walked at human pace to the main office.

Comments from Reviews for Chapter Fourteen:

- VMIH930 - I was wondering, should I have Carlisle have a different mate? To make it different perhaps? Perhaps Esmé did get changed but by Allistar instead who will be her mate...so they go to visit Carlisle one day and that's how Yvonica and Esmé see each other again?

- Emmett. Jasper. Carlisle - Thank you so much! That is such a huge compliment for me. They will be reunited very soon.

- MarveyTibbsMcGarrettWilliams - Thank you! They will find each other soon.

- Vampire's Best Friend - Hope you liked it, they will see each other in about three chapters more.

- SHINeeFan23 - I'm sorry you thought it was a chapter :( Well she's met two of the seven Cullen's now.
