A/N so here's another chappie. Yeah, this one is way shorter than the other, too. I thought the ending was ok. But YAY, Bella finds out that there is more to Forks than she thought. Meaning… the hot sexy Cullens. I also wanted to thank 'Ida', your review really made my day. I just got back from vacation so that's why it took so long to update. Sorry for the late update.
Chapter Three: Not So Alone
BEEP……BEEP…….BEEP
I woke up with a start, sitting up quickly and hitting the off button on the alarm clock. Stupid slayer dreams, always more questions than answers. Who wasn't ready to give me up? I left so many people behind. I stopped my thoughts right there. Outside my window showed that it was still dark- I looked at the clock. 4:30 Am. I wanted to get a fast work out done before school. I still had an hour an a half till I had to get ready for school. I hopped up out of bed and changed into a pair of old sweats I found in the suit case along with a wife beater. I looked in the mirror. " Hello my new patrolling outfit", I always loved wearing sweats while training, they didn't cost that much so I wasn't worried when they got ripped or covered in beastly goop.
I took the watch I found in "my" purse yesterday, out of the bedside table drawer that I put it last night. Four thirty seven. I could afford about an hour workout. I usually do three or four but right now I would take what I could get.
I noticed last night that there was a tree right by my window, which I thank the gods for, it would be a little awkward jumping out the window every night after Charlie dude went to bed, I mean I could do it, but a tree was just so much easier. I went to the window and started to open it. I flinched as it squeaked, adding oil to the long list I had in my head. Defiantly going to need to get a J-O-B soon, this girl's secret stash could only last so long.
After gracefully landing under my window I shot straight to the path in the woods across the street from the house. One plus I noticed about forks, I didn't have to worry about being seen in the woods, I could hear a human in about a mile radius, vampires where easer to since, I could feel them in about a 10 mile radius and it was way better running in the woods then in front of someone's house.
I followed the trail for about a mile just enjoying the sights, sounds and smell of the outdoors, so different from Sunnyhell. I then took a sharp left to go off trail a little. I knew no one would see me but I didn't want to take a chance, I really couldn't afford for the town folk to see Chief Swans long lost daughter running forty five miles an hour through the woods.
After about fifteen minutes of running and twenty something miles into the woods. I knew right away something was wrong. My slayer sinces were going hay wire and I didn't really even need those to notice it. I couldn't hear any of the wild life. They were hiding. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I allowed my senses to stretch as far I could let them. It was like a rubber band, what ever it stretch over I could hear and since. I guess it's like when someone is behind you, you automatically know their there, kinda like a sixth since.
My eyes shot open. "Found you."
I ran in there direction. Four miles to my right, three of them. I picked up speed as I went. Trees flying by in a blur. They must have caught my sent. They where running away from me. "Chickens." I mumbled, pushing myself to my limits. I didn't have time for this. Holy crow there fast, already slowly going off my radar. I knew I could catch up to them but it would take to long and I needed to head back. I looked at my watch. " Shitocky." It was already quarters till six and I wasn't sure when Charlie got up. "Next time your mine" I growled in the direction of my new fixation. I took a sharp right and started heading back to my new home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Once I got back in my window it wasn't two minutes later Charlie opened my door to see me 'sleeping.' I waited till I heard his cruiser leave before I jumped out of my bed and ran for the restroom, I really needed another shower. I knew now that I would have to start patrolling at night instead of mornings, and maybe I could put in a few hours after school. I could take a quick run through the woods and see if I can find my new friends. I hated letting them get away. It always felt like I was letting another person die at their hands.
I was reluctant to admit, that I was kinda happy that this place wasn't empty of my sharp tooth friends. I needed something to do to keep me on my feet. "Buffy you have finally gone over the deep end." I told my foggy reflection in the bathroom mirror. I sighed and got dressed in a pair of ripped jeans and a Muse t-shirt. Witch was the only nice outfit this girl had. After brushing my hair and teeth, and putting on light makeup. I sat on the bed and pulled out a tablet from my new book bag. I decided to make two lists. One for slayer needs and one for household and personal needs. I knew I needed new clothes, along with my favorite minty mouthwash, secret deodorant, Emily the strange perfume, and the most important. A deadbolt. I laughed at the thought of Charlie trying to get n my room with that. I really liked Charlie and to a point I trusted him not to push my bubble to much, but I don't like being in a room that doesn't have a lock in the fist place.
Now as for slayer needs? I knew a few sites, but Giles was always the one to order and get the best ones. I wouldn't even know where to start.
I let my thoughts wonder to my family I left behind. Out of all of them I missed my mom the most. With her I could at least pretend to be normal. No vampires, slayers, witches, or demons. I never got to say goodbye to anyone. But I mean if I was really honest with myself. I was happy she never had to deal with her disobedient daughter again. She will never have to worry about the next time I got into a fight, or if I was in a gang. I mean she probably thinks I'm on drugs. And Giles deserves a Slayer who can fallow orders and not put everyone's life in jeopardy. If I would have just listened to him Jenny would still be alive. Not to mention Willow and Xander, who could be normal teenagers with normal problems? I sighed and looked at the clock. I was still early but I needed to get out of the house.
I went down stairs and grabbed the note from Charlie on how to get to school; I looked it over and stuffed it in my book bag. All I needed was a peek. I didn't even bother looking for something to eat, I knew men like Charlie. It just means cooking is going to be one of my new hobbies too. I snatched the house key off the counter and headed out the door, locking it behind me.

A/N; again sorry for the late update. I found it was better to end it here because school is going to take a whole nother chapter.
Ok so Rose was changed in 1933 and was 18 at the time. Here's the next Q.
What is the name of the floppy eared demon that hangs around with Spike?
