Expect The Unexpected

The Forest

Chapter 12 - The Forest

After last night all I wanted to do was sleep. The bright sun didn't help either, it hurt my eyes, but Bella was human and she had to go to school, which meant I had to go. Luckily I fed last night so it wouldn't hurt me that much.

In order to keep up the charade of seeming human, I ate some disgusting cereaI when Charlie was around before he left for work. Once he was out of the house, I used my vampire speed to move around the house. First I showered, cleaning myself for the day. Then I blow dried my hair in the bathroom and curled my lushious locks of hair before wandering back to my room. Deciding to go threw the closet of the now dead-human-girl, I realized I would need to go shopping; this girl had no fashion sense at all.

I changed into a pair of my usual clothes that I take everywhere with me. Stealing clothes constantly got old quick. I wore a tank top that was pink/purple depending on the light and my favorite pair of jeans paired with the necklace that Klaus gave me that went with my ring, they both protected me from the sun. Adding my leather jacket, I was ready for school. Walking out the door, I grabbed my dark sunglasses that covered half my face and protected my eyes from the harsh sun. Slipping on black high heeled boots that were in Bella Swan's closet that looked fairly new, I left the house.

When I realized her car was an old piece of junk, I refused to drive it and decided to walk to school. There was no was that I would be seen in that scrap metal and even keeping the cover wasn't worth being in that thing.

Headed in the direction of the school, I walked within the forest so I was free to use my abilites. In a matter of seconds, I arrived at the parking lot filled with teenagers with scrap metal junk that were cars.

As I looked around, my nose crinkled with disgust. Could the place get any uglier? I mean all the buildings were the same color and made of brick. Ugh! Immediatly people's eyes were drawn to me as I came out of the forest.  I guess no one saw the real Bella Swan look like this. Yeah well, they should get use to it.

Walking with a purpose, I saw the young blond from the other day who I think is named Mike and flashed him a  daring smile. The people that were around him looked surprised.

School flew by, boring me every second and soon it was lunch time. "Bella, aren't you going to eat anything?" a girl named Jessica asked, she was short with curly hair and a bubbly personality. This girl was the type of person who can come off as annoying very easily.

"I'm just not hungry," I responded. Of course I'm not hungry, I'm thirsty and not for any regular water or juice, but the liquid that help life and energy. The liquid that helped humans survive. Blood.

I had Biology after lunch and I had to sit alone, but Edward's scent was there so I assumed that he would be my parnter in this class. The work was extremely easy. But everyone was staring at me instead of doing their work.

Then I had Gym. Ugh! It was easy, but I had to try really hard to not to do things with vampire strength and not to go at vampire speed. So…hard! Especially when it comes natural to me doing vampire things and having humans all around. It took all my will power not to attack and the intensity of the sun made me more thirsty and irritable the normal. The sun made my eyes itch and I wore my glasses most of the day.

As I walked outside I felt eyes on me. Of course people would be watching me, but when I turned around I caught the site of golden eyes and I just kept on walking at human speed. Colors of green and some brown flashed as I walked, but every once an awhile there would be the color of gold.

Were they following me? The Cullens. What didn't the compulsion didn't work on them? Did they remember what happened? Soon I was home, back at the small house that had 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen/dinning room. Oh joy!

I opened the door and stepped into the house easily. Thank God! The rusty lock still worked, even though I knew it would.

After about an hour I decided to go explore the forest that surrounds this place. Running outside after making sure no one was around to see what would happen, I shifted into a bear. I was covered in different shades of brown and black. My eyes were the same, but they felt larger than before. I stauntered into the green woods that were filled with creatures and started in the direction away from town.

Soon I came to a large clearing and found the Cullens, the boys were wrestling and the girls were talking, they moved at an inhuman speed. When they heard me they looked up, surprise written all over their faces.

"Bet ya I can catch it." the biggest one said, who I think is Emmett. I quickly started to back up, my heart beat picking up a little.

"Bet ya I can get it before you." the bronze hair boy replied. Edward.

"Your on!" Emmett said and I took that as my cue to run. The forest flashed around me, you could hear footsteps, they were after me. The let out loud calls of the  hunt as they followed and once they got to close to me, I decided to play this up a bit. I took off at at vampire speed, my kind of speed,  I heard them let out a gasp and try to catch up to me.

I only I stopped when I got to a meadow. It was beautiful, fresh green grass and flowers covered it while sunlight trickled through the trees. I shifted back to myself. My hair tumbling behind me. I still had my leather jacket on and my sunglasses were in one of the pockets. I put them on just in time, Emmett and Edward came running through the trees. They were in a hunting crouch, they looked deforemed.

"Hello boys." Their heads snapped up to look at me, I swear I heard a hiss before they straighted their backs.

"Bella, what are you doing here?" Edward asked me.

"I don't answer to you, Mr. Cullen." With that I turned to walk away, I only moved a few steps before a cold hand rested on my shoulder.

"How are you going to get home?" he asked. Why did he want to know?

"The same way I got here." Lifting his hand off me with my pointer and thumb, I moved away from his grasp and let his arm fall away.

"How?" Emmett, the giant, asked.

"I walked." I said in a 'duh' tone. Without another word I took off at a steady pace.

"Bella! Bella! Wait!" Both Edward and Emmett yelled.

"Why? So you can explain why you seem like you want to eat me?! No, I'm out of here." I looked at him, he was frozen, then took off running at a good pace. When I was sure that none of the Cullens were watching me I shifted back into my falcon form and flew home
