Chapter 2:

Helena High School

NPOV:

"I found out a few days later I was pregnant with Nessie. I went to his house and his pixie sister had left me a . . .I guess a survival kit. It had money and a bunch of other stuff including blood. Freaked me out at first but then when I was throwing up everything, it became appetizing. I stayed there for a month. I was out walking one day when I suddenly felt terrible pain in my stomach. I felt a stab . . . and then I blacked out" my mom said.

What!!! She never told me this.

"Soon, I felt like someone was burning me alive but I couldn't find my voice to beg them to stop. 3 days felt like years. I woke completely new. I heard, saw, and smelled everything. I was thirsty but it all vanished when my hands fell to my stomach and there was no bulge. Then I remembered. I looked around and I was back at the Edward's Place.

I was in a bed and I was aware of a beating heart. I walked over to a crib and saw a beautiful girl sleeping. She had one of a kind bronze colored hair and her skin was pale. She was my daughter. Next to a bottle full of blood, I found a note that said:

Care for her. She is your daughter, my duty is done. By the way, she prefers blood.

Good Luck,

V

I guess when whoever changed me, the venom spread to Nessie and she became a half vampire" Mom said as she walked over to a chest that was near the TV. No one ever opened it. It was one of moms prize possessions. It contained stuff important to her so we decided not to snoop. She pulled out an old letter and showed it to us. None of us said a word. Who was this guy?

"I went hunting soon after and taught Nessie the art of vegetarianism. She caught on quickly. Life was pretty normal from there on until you guys came along" she said as she started laughing.

We all joined in.

"Well, we have to be in school in about 30 minutes so we should hurry up" she said as she looked at her watch.

"School" I groaned along with everyone else.

"Guys, back in Michigan we had that art and architectural business. Sophie also owned a repair shop. It's been a while since we have been to school. We have tons of money so I think we should go back. We can't always hideaway" she scoffed.

"Yeah, we know" Melinda said for all of us. "It's just so boring"

"I know, but every place has a surprise. Now go get ready" she said as she got up nearly tossing me to the ground.

"Sorry honey" she said.

"I'm fine mom" I said as I ran to my room.

I put on jeans and a turtle neck shirt with the words Why be difficult on the front and When you can be impossible on the back. It was one of my personal favorites. I fished out my tennis shoes out of the last box I needed to unpack and put them on. I ran down stairs and grabbed an apple. I found fruits pretty good.

"Some one looks excited" my mom commented making me jump and drop my apple. She caught it before it hit the ground and handed it to me.

"Not really, I just don't take a million hours to get ready like some people" I said the last part louder, aiming it towards the 2nd floor.

"If you say so" she said with that look that said right, and I like pizza.

Everyone came down soon after.

"Which 2 cars do we take" my mom asked.

"I want to take my Mustang" Sophie said. She had outfitted all our cars on the inside so they were like a sports car.

"Can we take my Audi" Will asked.

"Okay, we'll take them both" mom said as we headed for the garage.

I got in Sophie's blue Mustang with Alex. Mom tagged along with Melinda and Will.

"Watch the speed" I warned Sophie. "We have to stay less than 120"

"Oh come on Nessie, loosen up" she said in a care free laugh.

"Mom will kill you if you get another speeding ticket" I told her.

"I only got 3" she grumbled as we raced out of the garage. She stayed around the 110 area. We were at Helena High School in no time.

"Hey, didn't you have a picture of that car in your room Soph." Alex asked as we passed a silver Volvo.

"Yeah, That's a Volvo S50, pretty good model" she said. "At least someone has taste in cars here, I mean, look at these cars. A minivan, a truck? Those can't go past like 80" she complained.

"Well, technically, they don't need a car that's faster because they abide with speed limits" I said trying to bug her.

"Speed limits are for people who can't drive" she muttered as she parked in the student lot.

Melinda pulled up next to us. Together, we headed to the front office. Helena High School wasn't big but it couldn't be considered small. It had a total of 1623 well, now 1629 students. It's mascot was the Bengal which is a type of tiger. When we entered the Front Office, the attendant looked up. When she saw us, her eyes went wide and she started hyperventilating. I almost couldn't hold back a laugh. I forgot how much people were surprised by our appearance. Mom stepped forward.

"Hi! I'm Bella and this is Renesmee, Melinda, William, Alexander, and Sophia. We're the Masen's, I believe you were expecting us." she said brightly. Mom said our last name was Masen instead of Swan in case someone recognized us.

"W-w-w-h-h-h-y yes" she stuttered "I need your guardian to fill this out this sheet" she said handing us a clipboard.

Mom grabbed it and filled it out quickly. She attached the fake court order appointing her our guardian for religious reasons and handed it back. The lady looked at the court order and nodded.

"Is there a problem" mom asked.

"No, here are your schedules and here, these are the best routes to each of your classes" the lady said handing each of us papers. "Have you teachers sign this and have a nice day" she said brightly.

"Here we go" I muttered as I slung my backpack back on and followed everyone out.

They were all seated at a picnic table talking. I walked over.

"Guys, something smells weird about this school. It's not strong but different. Should I put up my shields" Mom asked. I smelled it too.

"Yeah" we all answered.

"Okay, if anything awkward or weird happens, we'll meet here after 1st period. We can run to our next class so we are not late. Plus, they give you about 6 minutes to get to class so that's enough" she explained.

"Deal, now, who has Mrs. Miller 1st period" Alex asked.

We all took out our schedules and started comparing. I had Literature with Mr. Gottschalk. I started laughing when I saw the names. Mr. Gots Chalk. Seriously? I looked at my other teachers and some were funny as well. Mom and I had Statistics with Mrs. Miller. I had Biology with Mr. Sinfrog. Then I had Economy and Business with Sophie and Melinda taught by Mrs. Payder.

Then was lunch. I had 3-D Architecture with Alex and Will taught by Mr. Buildenstein. Finally, I had gym with everyone taught by Mrs. Gymfit. I thought some of these teachers were meant to teach that class with their funny names. The bell rang signaling the start of class. I looked up surprised, I hadn't noticed how full the school had gotten in 5 minutes.

"Get to class guys. Good luck and just ignore your admirers" Mom said with a laugh as she got up and left.

I tried my best to take her advice and ignored most of my watchers as I headed to Literature. Some are just persistent.

"Hi, I'm Rick" said a boy making me look up. He was pretty muscular with sandy blond hair. He was holding out his hand. "You new?"

"Yeah, I just moved in from Michigan, I'm Nessie" I said shaking his hand.

"Welcome to Helena Nessie, what's your next class" he asked.

"Literature with Mr. Gottschalk" I answered.

"Oh, I have him second period . . . well, hope I have another class with you, bye" he said as he ran off to the other direction.

Boys. They are so shallow sometimes. I headed to Literature half running since I was going to be late. I opened the door and rushed inside.
