Chapter Four: Updated and Edited 2025
Later on in the day, we walk into the school lunch hall. We get pulled to a table where Mike pulls out Bella's chair for her and i raise my eyebrow, sitting in a chair next to her.
"I see you've met my home girl, Bella?" Erik says to Mike.
"Your homegirl?!" Me and Mike say at the same time
"My girl" Another guy says as he runs up to Bella and kisses her cheek
I have to fight the need to snarl at him.
"Oh my God, it's like first grade all over again and you're the shiny new toy" Jessica says
"She's not a toy" I point out flatly
"It's just, like a figure of speech, come on" Jessica says laughing and i roll my eyes.
After eating a sandwich, i turn and see Bella staring at something.
I look in the direction and i immediately stiffen as they walk through the door.
"Who are they?" Bella asks and, of course, Jessica is happy to go through all the names of the new people walking into the cafeteria... and she finds great delight in tell us what she thinks of each of them.
She goes through all of them, each one walking in as they make their way to an empty table towards the back of the room.
She explains that they are all adopted siblings, however they are all dating each other. She tells us how she finds it strange.
And then she gets onto the last one.
"He's Edward Cullen, he's totally gorgeous, obviously, but apparently nobody here's good enough for him.. like i care" she says
I watch as he walks and sits down with the other four. After a minute, as if attracted to us somehow, he glances over to our table. I look away, avoiding making eye contact as i have no doubt about who they are.
I pull my chair out and i stand up, but Bella holds my wrist.
"Where are you going?" She asks
"I..I have to go and talk to the gym teacher about extra craticular.. i'll catch up with you later, ok?"
She nods and i stand up and walk out of the hall, not missing hearing the conversation at the table i was just sitting at as they continue gushing over 'Edward'.
**********
I stand outside, by Bella's truck as i wait for her to come out of school at the end of the day.
I see her walking towards me and i say "Hey, How was your day?"
She huffs and she stands next to me, sighing "It was ok, until you left the dinner hall and then everything just sort of took a turn"
"What happened?" I ask, concerned
"I went to my next class and that Edward guy was sat next to me. The whole time he kept acting as if i stank or something and then he walked out"
I sigh and hug her "I'm sorry Bella, that may have been my fault"
I whisper the last bit away from her ear so that she doesn't hear it.
I'm not dumb, i figured out what they were the second they walked through the canteen door, from outside.
I smelt it on them, the blood that they so desperately needed, i knew that they were vampires and i knew that my smell was like a stench to them.
"Let's just go home" Bella says as she sighs and gets into the drivers side of the car and starts the engine.
I turn, just as i am about to get into the car, and i stare straight in Edward Cullen's eyes. I could feel him staring at us all the while i was talking to Bella.
I look humid over before i slightly show the corner of my teeth to him in a warning. I see him glare as i get in the car.
And we drive off home.
**********
I walk into mine and Bella's room after showering and i see her putting her phone down, saying "I have homework to do..I'll talk to you later, i love you"
Bella puts the phone on her bed and i knock on the door as i walk in and i sit on my bed, opposite hers.
"Was that Mum?" I ask
"Yeah, she said that she will call again later to talk to you" She says and i nod "I think she lost her cell as she was using the pay phone"
I laugh "Of course she has, i'm not surprised" I say "She's always loosing things"
I turn and rifle threw my things under the bed, searching for a jumper. I glance at Bella as i place the clothing over my head.
"Bella, what's wrong?" I ask, noticing the way she is sat messing with the end of the phone.
She sighs and gets herself comfy "It's nothing, really, it just got to me the way Edward was acting around me"
I knew that that was my fault. I wasn't oblivious to the pact, i could feel it in the air. I was supposed to be on the other side of the boundary, but i can't leave my sister to go to this school, while i go to another- it would feel wrong, she wouldn't allow it either.
It would be hard to explain to her, she wouldn't understand.
Instead i sat for a moment before I decided i needed to secure my place in Forks before trouble started to occur.
"Bella, i'm gonna go for a walk, ok? Just don't wait up for me, you can sleep"
"Are you sure?... i mean its late and-"
"And what, wolfs could eat me, trust me, i'll handle them" I say as we both laugh
"Ok, just be careful, ok?"
"I will" I say as i finish putting on my black jumper and i leave the house.
Stepping outside, i stretch and then i begin to run.
As i run, i gradually begin to pick up speed as i go further into the woods, i begin to pick up the Cullen's scent and i follow it, deeper and deeper into the trees, until i see a house.
I slow my pace and i begin to casually walk up to the front door of the house and i put my hand up to knock, when it opens anyway.
I should have known that they would be expecting me, i'm sure one of them has to have the power to see into the future or something.
I roll my eyes when the man at the door, Dr Cullen, says that i can come in.
I was already planning too, i don't need permission like them.
I look around at the interior of the house, until i round a corner and i see most of the Cullen's sitting on the couch. I waver a minute as it feels like an interrogation
I see Edward glaring at me and i glare back.
"Miss Swan, what brings you here?" Who i assume is Mrs Cullen asks.
I sigh "I'm here to explain"
"Go on" She says "We were expecting you"
"i'm sure that you all are aware... my kind is not ment to be on your land"
All the Cullen's nod and i continue.
"My family don't know I've transformed.. they don't even know that wolves exist. I think my Dad was a wolf and passed it onto me, i never met him, which is why i am here to ask that you look over the fact that i am a Wolf ands let me live with my sister in peace"
"And why would we do that?" Edward says and i see one of the others, a girl with pixie cut hair, hit him, lightly on the arm.
"I know that if i transfer schools to the other side of the line, Bella will want to come too, which means that Edward, will be separated from her" I inform
"And why would i even care?" Edward adds
"Because it wasn't just wolf you smelt on her at school.. I'm not blind vampire- i don't have to spell it out. I will be leaving you with my word. I will not cause you any disruption and i will cross the boarder, if i have to, when i shift. But if any of your kind get in the way of my family living peacefully unaware of my 'condition'... then we will have trouble"
After that i walk out the door.
I don't bother waiting for them to spit insults at me further, i came and did what i needed to do to do, for Bella. And now i was leaving.
