A/N: Apparently people like this story a lot. Who knew? I sorta had it floating around in my head begging to be written. I'm sorta making it up as I go along


Chapter Nine

I made it back before the others for once, since I was riding Jasper's motorcycle. I pulled into the garage and turned off the engine.

Rosalie and Emmett were in there, working on Emmett's Jeep. They looked up when they saw who was riding the bike.

"Bella?" said Rose. "Why're you on Jasper's bike? And where are the others?"

"Something happened at school," I barely managed, but I knew they could hear me. "Jasper... bit someone."

They looked at each other, shocked.

"Who was it?" asked Emmett.

"A new girl, Dana," I was still in shock. I was pretty sure Dana was alive, she would be a vampire, like the others.

"Did anyone see?" Rosalie asked.

"I don't think so, everyone had gone home already."

Their questions seemed so practiced. I started to shake, going into meltdown. To my surprise, it was Rosalie who came to me. She put an arm around me and ushered me inside.

"Come on, you're going into shock, let's get you some water."

"Okay," I mumbled.

"So what do we do?" Emmett asked. "If no one saw, do we still have to move? Someone is going to miss this girl."

"She's an orphan," I said after a sip of water. "She's in a group home."

"How do you know that?" Rosalie asked.

"She's my friend," I said simply.

"You just used the present tense," Emmett noted in a rare moment of observation. "She's not dead?"

I flinched at the word. "No. Alice pulled him off of her before he could do much, but he already bit her."

"So she'll be a vampire," Rosalie stated, displeased.

"Looks like it," I said.
