I haven't failed

I've just found 10 000 ways that won't work

Edward POV



"Did you hear?"

"Hear about what?"

"Apparently there is a new girl coming. She's supposedly really hot. Like hotter than Rosalie Cullen hot."

"Seriously? When is she coming?"

"I think today. She moved into the old Swan residence this weekend."

"Wow! I hope I get to see her."

I stared in the direction of the two girls having the conversation. Did they say 'Swan residence'? That's where Bell- she used to live. I regret leaving leaving her so much. I mean, I knew she'd be upset but when she killed herself, I wanted, no needed to do the same. Sadly, Esme wouldn't let me and now here I am stuck at the stupid Forks High listening to the most idiotic, annoying people alive.

I walked over to one of my most painful classes, English. At the moment we were reading Wuthering Heights. That is why English is painful. It reminds me of HER and how she used to love that book.

After a torturous forty five minutes I finally stalked out of the classroom to find Rosalie waiting for me. "Edward, the new girl has no scent," she said alarmed.

"What do you mean? Everyone has a scent, even us, and we are dead," I replied, extremely confused.

"Not her. She sat beside me in Calc and there was nothing. NOTHING!"

"Okay I believe you, but then what is she?"

"I DON'T KNOW! That's why I came to YOU!"

"Okay okay, sorry, we'll talk more at lunch," I told her backing up in defense. She just nodded and walked over to her next class. Sighing, I slowly did the same.

'Edward, the new girl Izzy, looks like Bella' Jasper thought to me as we walked to the cafeteria.

"Really?" I asked him.

"Yeah, and she doesn't have a scent."

That's exactly what Rose said, I thought to myself. This new girl, Izzy is really confusing me. How could she have no scent? That's impossible! Even vampires have scents.

The cafeteria went quiet for second. I looked around and saw her. She looked almost exactly like Bella, except paler and maybe curvier. She looked over at us and gasped. After quickly buying her food she skillfully avoided our gazes and sat down at an empty table.

"I think we should go talk to her," Alice said.

"I agree" Jasper said, "She might tell us who and what she is."

"We can't, she could be dangerous," Rose disagreed.

"Well Rose we don't know know until we ask." Emmett added in.

"Can't we just wait till after, when we see Carlisle?"

"She won't hurt us, I saw," said Alice.

"Okay fine we'll go talk to her but I won't be the one doing it." Rose finally agreed.

"Well who will do it?" I asked. All four of my siblings pointed at me. "What? Seriously guys? Ugg fine." I reluctantly agreed with them and walked over to the new girl's table.

"Um hi, I'm Edward Cullen and you are...?" I asked .

"Hey Cullen, the names Swan, Izzy Swan." I gasped. Could it be?

"A-as in Isabella Swan?" I stuttered, wide eyed as she smirked at me.

"Yes, I suppose that's what you knew me as," Bella replied. My eyes got even wider if that was possible.

"B-Bella?"

"Actually I prefer Izzy," and with that she threw her (untouched) food away, and walked out of the school to her car.

I stood there mouth agape for probably five minutes before Jasper came and pulled me back to our table.

"Did you find out who she was?" He asked, obviously curious.

"It's Bella," I replied still in a state of shock.

Every one of my siblings gasped simultaneously. We were all silent for a moment until Alice said, "We have to tell Carlisle." We all agreed and after dumping our trays we drove over to the hospital.

I drove home and started thinking. The Cullens were back. I suppose that's good and bad. A good thing is that I'll get to see Jasper, Rosalie and Esme, the bad news is that I'll have to see my 'best friend' Alice, 'my brother' Emmett, 'my dad' Carlisle, and worst of all 'my mate' Dickward.

When I got home, I put all my stuff away, finished my homework, and took a second un needed shower.

At about 8:30 I heard a knock at the door. I wondered who it was seeing as I never told anyone my address. Curiously, I walked over to the entrance and opened the door. As soon as I saw who it was I immediatley curtsied. It was Suki, Queen of all Ghosts. "My Queen, please come in," I said as polite as I could. "May, I get you anything Your Majesty?" It was mandatory to be nice to all Royals, unless of course you want to be sent to the zombies, where you wil be forced to endure an eternity of torture and pain.

"No, no thank you, dear. I have come to ask you of our offer. Have you made up your mind?" she asked me. Of course I had thought about the Royals offer. They asked me if I wanted to become one of them. That never, ever happens. Not unless you have some amazing power. They are kinda like the Volturi but much, much more poweful.

"Yes, I have made up my mind my Queen. I'm very sorry but I must refuse your offer."

"I see. Thank you Isabella," she said with a tone of sinisterness. Suki left in a whoosh and I was left alone in my living room, worrying about what will happen next.

I AM SO SORRY FOR MAKING YOU WAIT SO LONG. I have just started JH and that's a big change from elementary. I know that's no excuse but I tried to make up for it by making the chapter longish. Anyway yeah.
