Chapter 2

Just another day. They all seemed to bleed from one into the next. I was content for the most part. I have my moments of self-doubt and self-loathing but I bury those feelings. I know I can't always hide them, but I try my best. I don't want to hurt those who can tell what I am feeling.

I have been feeling as if something is missing lately. If I'm honest I've always had that feeling. It was lessened a bit when I found my Mate, my Emmett. He can make me smile like no one can. He loves me regardless of my past and I know he will always be there to support me. His child like nature is endearing and I can't help but smile while I'm with him. Finding Emmett helped to fill the void I felt immensely. He filled my heart with joy and love.

Finding my brother made things even better. Now he's not my biological brother but he's still the brother of my soul. It's ironic that I feel he is the other half of my soul when we portray ourselves as twins to the outside world. While my life was hard at the end, Jasper's was hard from his second start.

"Rosie, are you ready?" my Emmett hollered upstairs. He had went out for an early morning hunt with Jasper a few hours ago. "We have to leave otherwise we'll be late for school."

"I'm coming," I answered while checking over my reflection in the mirror. Most people thought I was vain but that was how I covered up my fears. Granted today I wanted to look my best. I had finally figured out the last piece that was missing to make me whole. I was determined to make a good impression today since I didn't know what was going on yesterday and didn't have the chance to talk with her then I hope I would be able to today.

I should back up a bit and explain, my name is Rosalie Hale and I'm a vampire. I was sired by Carlisle Cullen after he found me bleeding and broken on the streets of New York in 1933. He had already turned his 'son' Edward and his wife Emse. Apparently, Carlisle and Esme hoped I would be Edward's mate. They were sorely mistaken as he is a pompous ass.

Edward is able to read minds. Fortunately he is only able to read surface thoughts and I have figured out how to keep my deeper thoughts down. Now I constantly think about sex as Edward is a prude.

I found my Emmett just a couple years after I was turned. He had been attacked by a bear and was bleeding to death. It amazes me still that I was able to turn him instead of draining him dry. Emmett has always said he thought I was an angel coming to save him and insists to this day he was right. I think it was just dumb luck that he happened to be my mate.

The last to join our coven was Jasper and Alice. Jasper and I tell everyone we are twins and I feel the connection deep in my soul. I've talked with him about this and know he feels it too. While I tolerate Alice and am grateful she led Jasper here I really could do without her most days. Neither Alice nor Jasper were turned by Carlisle. Alice doesn't know who turned her and doesn't remember her human life at all, but Jasper was turned by a sadistic bitch. She made him to fight in a vampire war.

"What's up with the emotion flux?" my brother asked. Jasper is an empath and has the ability to not only feel the emotions around him but also manipulate them.

"Just thinking," I smiled. I couldn't hide my excitement today. Alice decided to ride with Edward so it was just Emmett, Jasper and myself in the car. "Do you think she'll accept our invitation?"

"I don't know," Jasper shook his head. "Her emotions didn't give anything away yesterday except irritation at Mike and Tyler."

"So if she's irritated with them she'll take us up on our offer right?" Emmett suggested. "It is her only other choice."

"Or she could just stay home," I whispered. I couldn't help but want to spend time with her. She was one of the missing pieces for my brother and the last missing piece for me.

We pulled in right behind Edward's Volvo. I looked around fixing my usual bored and disinterested face. Most of the humans stayed away now as I had built up my bitch and ice queen persona. It was really easy. Any time someone would approach me I would glare and walk away. I much preferred it this way.

Finally it was second period. I have been looking forward to this class since yesterday. I had her in my class. I was hoping I'd be able to talk to her. The teacher didn't have assigned seating so we were free to sit anywhere. I didn't have much of a chance yesterday as I was stunned when she walked into the classroom. I never thought I would be lucky enough to find her but I did. Unfortunately, Jessica Stanley commandeered her attention with the help of some of our other classmates.

"Oh, sit over here," Jessica led her to an open seat near her own seat. I had started to raise my hand to wave at her but stopped at the next thing out of Jessica's mouth. "Don't worry about her, she's a bitch."

She didn't say anything. I thought she might stick up for me like she did yesterday but apparently not. I wanted to be angry but I was just hurt. I turned around in my seat and decided to just ignore the humans like I normally did.

"Is this seat taken?" I looked up and realized the person was talking to me. "If so that's ok, I can find another seat," she spoke again when I didn't respond.

"No," I finally found my voice as she started to walk away. "No one's sitting here. My name is Rosalie."

"It's nice to meet you," she smiled. "I'm Bella. I'm sorry about Jessica. I hope I didn't offend you and your family yesterday. I just couldn't keep my mouth shut after the way she talked about you all."

"You didn't offend any of us," I smiled back. "We were surprised by what you said but we weren't offended. Personally, it made me feel a little better. I know I don't foster a positive image and I prefer not to interact with our other classmates but knowing someone I hadn't even met could stand up for us was nice."

Before we could talk any more the teacher started the day's lesson. I couldn't help keep glancing at Bella from the corner of my eye. I have to admit to feeling jealous of Emmett and Jasper as they each had two classes with Bella.

"Jasper said he invited you to hang out this weekend," I commented as we were walking out of class. "I hope you'll be able to join us."

"It sounds like fun," Bella smiled before saying goodbye. Her next class was in the opposite direction from mine but I wanted to stay with her.

I'm glad my sister is feeling positive emotions again. She's fortunate because she feels content more often than I do. I remember the connection I felt with my twin the first time I met her. Her emotions reminded me of myself. It's like they were a mirror of my own. Even when she is content around her mate I can sense the turmoil underneath.

I know Carlisle and Emse mean well and think Alice is my mate but she's not. Her emotions are so positive and strong that I couldn't resist traveling with her. Also life as a vampire gets to be lonely and she was offering companionship. While it's nice to be around her I do hope to find my True Mate someday. Personally, the only good thing to come out from staying with the Cullen's is finding my sister and now possibly this, finding her.

It was finally time for third period and I could feel her heading this way. I could also feel my twin's hesitation on going to her own class. It was hard for me to hold in my emotions. When I felt her emotions yesterday I didn't know what was going on. I had felt something different shortly after we got to school yesterday but it all hit me when she walked into third period. I knew then who she was but could only stare. I was so immersed in her emotions I have no idea what the teacher said yesterday.

"HI Bella," I greeted her as we walked into class together. I was determined to interact more today than yesterday and figured the perfect person to start with would be her.

"Hey Jasper," she smiled like she was really happy to see me and her emotions matched. "How's it going?"

"Good," I couldn't help but return the smile. "History is one of my favorite subjects so I'm looking forward to class."

"Well I'm glad someone likes it," she snorted. "I may have to beg for your help. I am horrible at remembering the names and dates of everything that has happened in the past. "

"I would be happy to help anytime," I offered. Before I could suggest a study session the teacher came in and started the lesson. Now I had even more reason to pay attention to the teacher. I would need to know what the teacher is teaching so I know what to help Bella with.

"I know you have the offer of La Push and I already offered for the family, but we could always study this weekend too if you need," I said as soon as the bell rang before she could walk away.

"That sounds perfect," she blushed a bit and I couldn't help but wonder why. "Oh, Jessica and Lauren wanted me to extend the invitation to go to La Push to you and your siblings."

"I'll pass it along, but I don't think any of my siblings will want to," I couldn't our right tell her why we can't go to La Push because of a treaty Carlisle and company made long before I joined this coven. That would just make her think I'm crazy.

My Rosie was so happy yesterday and this morning but I could tell she was trying to be cautious as well. She doesn't realize how truly wonderful she is. I know she is afraid of getting hurt but if the connection both her and Jas spoke of yesterday is what we think then I know everything will be ok.

It was time for fourth period and after talking with her in gym yesterday I had started to feel something as well. I had hesitated to tell Rosie because I don't want her to think she's being replaced because there is no way in hell I could ever leave my Rosie but there was a connection none the less.

"Hey," I plopped down in the seat next to her. "So how's day two going?"

"Fine," she smiled a little. "It's different than what I'm used to."

"How so?"

"Well, it's a lot smaller than Phoenix," she looked to be lost in memories so I patiently waited. I know out of character for me to be patient but something screamed at me that I needed to wait because it would be worth it in the end. It was some deep instinct that led me to my Rosie and decided if it led me to the best thing in my life then I should listen again. "Everyone here has been talking to me and trying to either be my friend or get me to go out with them," I had to suppress a growl at the thought of the human boys pestering her. "I only had one really good friend back in Phoenix and I miss her. I didn't get a chance to call her last night so I hope I get to talk with her today. I wish she had been able to move with me but she said the timing wasn't good."

I didn't know what to say exactly but was saved from having to say anything when the teacher walked in and started explaining different techniques and telling us each week we would need to complete a project using one of the techniques.

"Hey would you like to sit with my family today?" I asked on our way out of class. I figured Rosie would be happy about being around Bella some more and I liked her as well.

"That sounds great," she smiled up at me. "I'm sorry about my word vomit before class," I'm sure I only heard her mumbled apologize because of my supernatural hearing.

"Don't worry," I chuckled. "Everyone has those moments. I know I have my fair share of rambling."

She just laughed at me and we slipped into an easy conversation about our Art projects on our way to class. We quickly made our way through the lunch line. I saw my family was already sitting with their props and noticed the only two seats available. One was between Edward and Rosie while the other was between Jasper and Rosie. I quickly sat between Edward and Rosie which allowed Bella to be between Rosie and Jasper. Rosie and Jasper both smiled at me and said a quick thank you at vampire speed.

"Hi," Bella nervously smiled and waved to the group as a whole. Her face was quickly starting to resemble a tomato. Everyone else smiled back but no one really said anything. I saw Jasper start to fidget and figured he was getting a health dose of some emotion.

"So Jasper, ants in your pants or is something else going on in there?" I asked innocently but saw Bella's face flame while Jasper sent me a glare and Rosie slapped the back of my head. I just couldn't resist.

"Bella ignore him," Rosie spoke first. "His brain and mouth seem to have disconnected again."

"Oh," Bella just sat there. "So this is a normal occurrence?"

"Unfortunately," Jasper nodded sadly towards the new girl.

"Well I suppose I'll get used to it," Bella chuckled. This comment made my Rosie beam and I could feel Jasper projecting his happiness a little. I also saw a dark look cross Edward and Alice's faces.

Lunch had definitely been interesting and fun. I really enjoyed myself and hoped to make good friends with the Cullen's. I wasn't looking forward to Biology. Edward glowered at me during lunch and figured it would continue once we got to class. Oh how wrong I was.

"Hi Bella," Edward spoke as soon as we both sat down. "I want to apologize for my behavior yesterday. I was having a bad day but I shouldn't have acted the way I did towards you."

"Oh," I was momentarily stunned. I still felt no connection to him but actually the opposite. I really wanted nothing to do with him. "Every has those days." I was trying to be polite though since I knew he was family to Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett.

I was still very confused as to why I suddenly felt a connection to Emmett after meeting him but not before considering he was very involved in the lives of Rosalie and Jasper before I even met them.

"I was hoping we would be able to hang out sometime," Edward offered. "Maybe we could get a bite to eat?"

"Maybe," I again tried to be polite and was very grateful when the teacher started the day's lecture. I waved goodbye and headed to gym with Mike. I noticed the same pattern as yesterday. The girls were all standing together talking and the boys were as well. Jasper and Emmett seemed to be off on their own. Instead of walking towards the girls like I did yesterday I decided to head over towards Jasper and Emmett.

I could feel the class staring as I chatted with the two before the coach decided to get us in gear. Class passed quickly. I managed to make it through without hurting any classmates or myself. A miracle in itself.

I managed to evade most of the questions Jessica and Lauren asked about me spending time with the Cullen's. I made it home and started on the homework. It was fairly easy as I had learned most of this back in Phoenix. I was trying to figure out what to do while supper cooked after all my homework was done and finally made my decision.

"Hello," the voice answered.

"Hey," I couldn't help the smile spread across my face.

"How's it going girl?" the person asked. "Any hot guys?"

"Well I don't know about any hot guys but it's going good," I chuckled. She was always fixated on boys. She was looking for the one who would be able to sweep her off her feet. "It's a lot smaller than back home. It also seems I'm the new toy."

"Toy?" She was suddenly very serious. As much as she flirted she was very over protective of me. She knew I wasn't a fan of much attention and somehow managed to keep most of it off me. "Who's ass do I need to come kick?"

"More like the shiny and new variety," I sighed. "Everyone wants to get to know me because it's such a small town and they aren't used to having new people show up. This is the kind of town where everyone knows everyone for three or more generations."

"Fine," she sighed seeming to accept my response. "So did you find what you were looking for?"

"What do you mean?" I was very confused. I had explicitly told everyone I moved to give my mom and Phil some time together as newly weds.

"I know you had a convenient excuse to move, but I never believed it," my friend can be very blunt. "I know you are looking for something and was wondering if you had found it in the backwater town."

"I think I might have," I finally answered. It had been hard to keep this from her but I did. I then spilled the whole story of feeling a pull and finding the two people it pulled towards, then finding a new connection being formed. I told her how I didn't like two of the Cullen's and how Edward made me feel really weird and how I wanted nothing to do with him.

"Damn girl," she sighed. I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't quite it. "I'll be up by the end of the week."

"J, really you don't have to," I tried but knew once her mind was made up she could be as stubborn, if not more so, than me.

"I know what I do and don't have to do but I'll be there by the end of the week," she finished. "I'll plan to finish the year with you. Besides we always talked about graduating together and when you moved that put a crimp in those plans, I'm just straightening out the crimp."

"Alright," I couldn't keep the smile off my face now. "I'll see you this weekend."

After that I told Charlie about Jasmine moving up here. Since she had turned 18 right after I did she didn't need her parent's permission or help. She had come from a very prominent family and had access to one of her trust funds the second she turned 18. Yes I said one of, she'll get access to her second one when she turns 21 and the third when she turns 25.

The rest of the night went about the same as the night before. I got ready for bed and couldn't help but wonder what was actually in store for me. I knew it would be interesting as I got to know the Cullen's and figured out my connection to them, but something about how Jasmine was talking on the phone got me to think nothing is actually what it seems. I could only wait and see where things led.
