CHAPTER 2

The curtains immediately opened, and light rays danced all over my room. So much light in the morning, so unnecessary. I waved my hand in the air to close the curtains. Mom wasn't too happy about the sudden blackness in the room. "Come on Is," my mother cooed, "You need to get ready for your flight. I advise you to wear your Juicy Couture outfit and your Coach sneakers."

"Thanks mom."

I ran to the bathroom and went to work. I motioned for the curler to turn on and start curling my hair and I motioned my makeup to do a light sheer of makeup. I was doing my hair, applying makeup, and brushing my teeth at the same time. When I finished, I used my index finger and did a "Come closer" motion with it, bringing the rubber band to me. I tied my hair into a messy ponytail and off I went.

I went downstairs and my parents were already in the kitchen making me breakfast. I went to sit at my place at the table and Dad started the conversation, "Alright Is. Up in Forks, there are the Cullens," he handed me a file, "and the Quilette Wolves," he handed me another file. "Let's talk about the Cullens first." I took a big bite of my cereal and thumbed through the Cullen file while he was talking about them. "The Cullens are vampires. Carlisle Cullen is the one who started his clan. First Carlisle, then Edward, Rosalie, Esme, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper. Carlisle changed a couple centuries back. He changed Edward when Edward was dying of the Spanish Flu. Carlisle turned Esme, AKA his wife, after she jumped off a cliff." I looked at the photos of the Cullens. They didn't look anything alike, except for the pale skin and gold eyes.

"Smart woman," I commented at Esme's stupidity.

"Yeah, well, she committed suicide after her first baby died…"

"Still…" Mom commented while flipping pancakes.

"Anyways," Dad continued, "Carlisle also changed Rosalie and then she went and killed her husband's family. Apparently, her husband raped her and, well, it's not a pretty story. Alice and Jasper just joined the clan. Rosalie turned Emmett after he got mauled by a bear."

"Why would Rosalie change Emmett?" I asked while looking at a photo of the Cullens.

"It was a 'love at first site' kind of thing for them."

"Pathetic," I muttered under my breath. I never believed in love, except when it came to my parents. I, however, couldn't do the "love" thing. I had to devote my whole life into this "The Killer" business. I am not a normal girl.

"Anyways, as I mentioned before, Carlisle is married to Esme. Jasper with Alice, and Emmett with Rosalie."

"And Edward?"

"He's been alone since the night of his change in 1918. However, Edward is a strange one. He's been alone for so long, never had a partner, we think Edward is the one responsible for all the killings."

"So I just go to Forks and kill Edward?"

"Is, don't get carried away. I said that we think Edward is behind all the attacks. I never said we know Edward is behind them. It's just that he's been alone for so long…maybe he's been trying to find a mate and every unacceptable woman was just killed. Plus, he's had a history of killing humans after his change."

"So Edward is my suspect #1?"

"Definitely."

"What about Rosalie? I mean, she did kill her husband's family."

"Yes, but that was to avenge her death. Afterwards, she quickly adapted to her vegetarian lifestyle."

"Duly noted. Watch Edward. Anyone else?"

"Well, Jasper did kill a lot of people too. But after he met Alice, he instantly changed his appetite, but it's hard for a vampire to go cold turkey."

"In other words, Jasper is on my list too?"

"I mean it Is, we need you there to catch the person responsible for the deaths, not cause trouble."

I, reluctantly, let the subject go. "So, does this clan just randomly kill humans and make them join? Because from the looks of it, more than half their clan was changed because of Carlisle and Rosalie."

"We don't know. We just know that they're sworn off human blood."

I dropped my spoon in my bowl of cereal and looked at Dad, "Is that possible? Can they even live off of human blood?"

"They drink animal's blood. So, it's not really all that bad. I mean, us humans eat meat too."

"Anything else?"

"Some of them have powers. Alice can see into the future, Jasper can manipulate and sense emotions, and Edward can read minds."

"Are they stronger than me? Can they use their powers against me?"

"They're not stronger than you, but their powers can be used on you. So be sure to block their powers by any means necessary."

"Will I ever meet them?"

"Yes. Carlisle and Esme are the 'parents.' The rest of the 5 go to the Forks High School, the one you'll be attending to. So, you'll see them. Just be careful. Deflect their powers off you. We can't have them being suspicious of you, you're undercover."

"But if I deflect them, then wouldn't that be suspicious enough?"

"Yes, but it's better for them to be suspicious and you being protected, than to have them know all of your secrets."

"Got it. And the wolves?"

"They live in La Push, which isn't too far from Forks. The chances of you meeting them are slim, but be aware of them."

I glanced at a snippet of the file and saw "TREATY" on the file. "What's this about a treaty?"

"Oh yes, the Quileutes aren't really wolves. They're shape shifters that shift into wolves." I nodded, hiding the fact that I already know because I eavesdropped. "The Cullens and the Quileutes have a treaty. The Cullens can't cross La Push territory and they can't hurt any humans. Those laws are pretty simple. If broken, all hell can break loose."

"Oh, sounds like fun to me." I grinned, loving a good fight.

"Is…" Dad warning me.

"I know, I know. Don't do anything rash."

"Anyways, don't make those two fight against each other. Besides, we are already suspicious of the Cullens, no need to handle the Quileutes either."

"Wait," I paused, "If the Cullens did kill those people, wouldn't the Quileutes already be fighting against them?"

"That's what we're thinking too. Either someone else is responsible for the killings, or the Quileutes lied to us about this treaty and that they're working with the Cullens, or the Quileutes simply don't know. However, the last option seems highly unlikely."

"Wow, can't trust anyone nowadays, can we?"

"Which is another reason why you should be extra careful."

"Besides the Cullens, do we have any other suspects?" I carefully changed the subject.

"No. So do your best to find out."

"Okay." I wanted to move on a more playful subject so I asked, "So, what kind of transportation do I get this time? A motorcycle? Or a nice convertible?"

My parents laughed and Mom said, "Charlie, we did tell Is to stand out…"

"You can get both. Switch it up every now and then. We should also get you a Lexus SUV. The weather there isn't always suitable for a convertible."

"More cars for me, I can't complain." We all just laughed at my comment.

"Anyways, other than that Is, you're going to enter FHS as Bella Swan."

"But that name is basically my real name, without the 'Is' part."

"Well, in this atmosphere, we want you to feel comfortable. So that's why we decided to let you use a more familiar name for you."

"My real name is Isabella. Having Forks calling me Bella instead of Is is still risky. Plus, I'm keeping my last name, that's even more risky."

"Well, you're registered as 'Bella,' not 'Is.' Relax Is, we know what we're doing."

"Really? Cause I don't what you guys are thinking."

"Besides, once this is all over, you can still wipe everyone's memories."

"I thought we already discussed that wiping memories is too dangerous."

"Desperate times calls for desperate measures."

Honk! Honk! "Is, that's your ride. Have a safe flight," Mom kissed me on the cheek.

"Thanks guys, I'll call you when I land."

…3 hours later…

I walked into the house while the driver brought in my luggage. After the driver left, I touched the house and searched around in the house with my powers. I channeled my electrical powers through the wires of the house and sensed all the special computers, phones, TVs, and etc. Within moments, I detected every extra MIA device that was installed into this house. "Wow. My parents truly did outdo themselves. It's impressive," I said to myself.

I walked further into the house and it was impressive. Each room and furniture was something that you could have seen from an expensive magazine…just the way I like a house to be done.

When I finally got to see my room, it was beautiful. It had an ancient European-Renaissance theme with princess touches. The one thing I loved the most? It was the balcony from my room. When I walked out to my balcony, I saw the greatest view ever. The moon was full and the sky was full of stars. My back yard lead to the forest, so I saw the trees swishing and swaying and hearing a hint of crickets. The funny thing was that there was a tree, connecting the ground to my balcony. Talk about your tree climbing adventures. This was just too great.

After a moment of feeling comfortable, I had to come down to reality. Who is responsible for all the killings?
