Prologue- Bella's POV
If this burning would ever stop. Just stop please! I begged for hours upon hours but it just wouldn't stop. Why had I been so foolish. I shouldn't of left Renees care. Where was I? I couldn't remember. Just endless burning. I couldn't escape it. My whole body was on fire. The pain was unbearable. Simply unbearable. After what seemed an eternity it finally ended.
Forks- Bella's POV
Here I was, coming to Forks. I hoped it would be better. I really needed it to be better. Phoenix was so sunny. I couldn't bear it any longer. I pulled the edges of my coat together and held them there. Charlie's scent was so strong. I couldn't help but let my mouth fill with venom and my teeth turn into fangs. I stopped breathing realizing I was getting far too animalistic. Charlie didn't notice.
When we got to his house I grabbed my bag at human pace. Charlie opened the door and I rushed upstairs. It was so difficult to move so slowly. I closed the door after telling Charlie again how much it meant for me that he would let me stay. I heard him fumble outside my closed door for a few seconds, and then he left. I sighed. I had done it. It was almost too easy.
There had been some close times. I remember specifically one day I hadn't gone hunting for so long. I had left it late because of the rain. A particular girl was annoying me endlessly in class. She was all alone at lunch and I tracked her. I'm ashamed to admit I nearly leapt at her before regaining my control.
I unpacked my suitcase with vampire speed. It was a good distraction from Charlie. He was just downstairs, his scent was so enticing. It would be too easy to just go down and- no. I stopped my train of thoughts and began singing a song. This was going to be hard. I hoped I would get used to his scent like I did with Renee.
I heard him turning on the T.V. I decided I would pull out my book and read. I did not breath as I turned page after page. It was much easier to resist the temptation. My focus was easily enraptured by this book. Soon I heard Charlie turn off the television. His loud steps made their way to the stairs. Then he climbed up them painstakingly slowly. Finally he came to check on me.
I closed my book at a human pace. "Hey Dad."
"Hey Bells. Get to sleep soon alright?" I nodded. It was slightly too fast but he didn't seem to notice.
I waited impatiently as his footsteps travelled down the hall. He opened his door and closed it behind him. Finally he went to bed. Soon I heard his snoring. It was comforting, I couldn't help my smile. I slowly opened the window, making sure it did not creak. The fresh air wafted in and I breathed it in relived. I dived out of the window and landed softly on the floor.
The woods seemed to be calling me, welcoming me. I grinned in anticipation and ran in my vampire speed. I ran for a few minutes, making sure I was deep within the forest. When I was certain that there were no humans nearby I let myself become lost to my senses. I didn't have to close my eyes anymore when I was trying to track down some food. When I first began hunting it was difficult. I didn't really know what I was looking for. Now I simply had to take a few minutes to listen and hear. I didn't use scents until I was closer.
Soon I heard the padding of hooves on the grass and I darted for the Elk. Elk were certainly a change from the coyotes I would feed off of in Phoenix. Their taste was blander. It still managed to dull the burning in my throat though. I brushed off my clothes, making sure I didn't get any blood on them. I laughed when I remembered the first time I hunted. My clothes were so bloody that I had to get rid of them. I knew there were more Elk around so I disposed the carcass of the one I had finished and tested the air.
Elk had an interesting scent, I made sure to remember it. Crouching, I readied myself to chase my next victim but something stopped me. There was another scent, definitely fainter, further away. This scent scared me. It was so familiar, but I was sure I hadn't smelt it before. I listened for some movement. I couldn't hear much other than the Elks and a few insects. There was an odd rushing of wind though heading towards me.
I didn't want to take a risk. This scent screamed danger. I raced back to my hose and climbed into the window. Once I was inside I turned my attention back to the forest. I hadn't had difficulty seeing since being changed, but I couldn't make out what the blur of movement was at the edge of the forest. I sighed. I felt certain I had drunk enough to survive another day alone with Charlie. I would try to hunt again tomorrow. The book was still waiting for me on the bed, I grabbed it and begun reading again.
Forks- Edward's POV
"You lost her!?" Rosalie's voice was loudest among the family. Her mind was as well.
"I'm sorry. She went into Swan's home. I certainly wasn't going to barge in without notice." I rolled my eyes.
Most of the family stopped talking. They had noticed Alice looking into the distance. I looked into her mind.
A girl with brown hair walking down the family stairs. Smiling up at an awaiting boy. Her lips forming a word- Alice began translating her favourite song into French. I growled at her. She stuck her tongue out at me.
"Carlisle. There is a simple solution. We have to watch her." Jasper finally suggested.
Carlisle contemplated this for a few moments before replying. "If she is living with Chief Swan then I doubt she's too much danger. How old was she Edward?"
I racked my brain for an answer. I came up with nothing. "I'm not sure. I couldn't hear her mind."
All but Alice gasped at this revelation. "she's not going to hurt anyone Carlisle. I can see it." Alice was grinning. I wondered what she had seen.
"What aren't you telling me Alice?" Alice simply shrugged.
"It doesn't matter. We need to speak to this girl. If she's a threat we must deal with it." Unfortunately. Rosalie's mind was turning dark. I stopped listening.
"She didn't get to finish hunting. I'm sure she will be trying again tomorrow." Emmett's new information sparked an idea for Carlisle.
"We will wait for her then. Edward, Emmett and Jasper."
Alice was displeased with this. "Let me go Carlisle. Jasper can stay back." Alice looked so determined. I was not surprised when Carlisle gave in.
"Alright. I'll trust you to handle this Alice." She must know about this girl, I'm sure she will handle this better than I could. Carlisles thoughts were right. I had to agree. Everyone dispersed from the table. I moved back to my room. This girl was a threat. I hoped she wouldn't be too bad of a vampire.
Forks- Bella's POV
I made sure to be in bed when Charlie woke. I almost forgot about the charade. Charlie quietly – for a human- opened the door and peeked inside. I slowed my breathing. I knew I was being slightly too still so I adjusted the pillow slightly. Charlie must have been pleased because he left and went downstairs.
I got off the bed and turned on the lamp. I didn't need the extra light but it felt right to have it on. Charlie would be leaving for work soon, I decided it might be best for me to go shopping for him today. It was easy to see he hadn't been keeping himself too well. The fridges were filled with fish. When he left I headed downstairs and grabbed my backpack. There were a few dollars left, I could treat Charlie a nice dinner tonight.
When I returned from shopping it was already getting dark. I hadn't meant to take so long but it was difficult to keep focus with all those hearts beating around me. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. With my vampire speed I had all the groceries put away and dinner in the oven when the humming of Charlie's engine came around the corner. I pulled the food out and served his portion.
"What's this?" I could see Charlies hungry eyes look over the meal.
"I went shopping today. My treat."
He sat down at the table and picked up the cutlery. "You didn't have to Bells." He ate anyway.
I told him I had already eaten and dashed up to my room. I checked my emails and responded to a message from Renee. Once I had finished that I grabbed my book again. Soon Charlie had gone to bed and I happily raced into the forest.
I was very thirsty tonight and was glad when I heard a group of Elk nearby. I quickly checked the scents around me and once satisfied that there was no dangerous smells I hunted after the Elk. I had finished with a large male and two small female before I was satisfied. I disposed of their bodies and fixed up my clothes.
I wasn't sure how I missed them. I didn't smell anything, but there they were. Two males and a female. I realised immediately they were vampires. Could I outrun them? I doubted it. I crouched down and let a snarl rise from my throat.
The bigger male had his arms on me at once. "Calm down." His voice was so commanding. I shuddered.
"Get off her Emmett. She isn't a danger." The small girl beamed at me.
"Who are you?" The tall male turned to me now. His hair a symphony of red and gold and brown.
I stammered my response under the glare of all three. "Isabella Swan. Bella."
