Hello everyone,

Sorry that this update is only really small and not a lot happens, I have been really busy. The next couple of updates might be slightly late and smaller then my usual updates but I'm trying my hardest to get them done on time.

Hope you enjoy that chapter!

"Isabella, are you ok?!" Says a worried Hazel on the other end of the phone call.

"Just fine thanks" I reply a little bitterly.

"I felt a pressure on my shield that I set in your mind, I thought that something bad was happening a-a-and I wasn't sure so I-I had to cheek an-"

"Really I'm fine Hazel" I said cutting off her ranting. She has always been a very caring person, that is part of why I love her as my sister.

"As you know I moved to Forks, Washington and when I got here I found a coven of at least 5 vampires" I say to her, she needed to no

"Oh Izzy....is everything alright? Are they friendly? Did you tell them that you are a vampire?" She says, calling me Izzy, the nickname that she had come up with.

"No they don't know that I'm a vamp...but that is not the only surprise" I say taking a quick look around the forest, making sure that no-one was listening in.

"What?" She says, slightly frantic.

"My brother, Jasper was with them" I say a little breathless. I still couldn't believe it.

"Really!?"

"Yes and I think that he has the same power as me....being able to feel and control people's emotions, but, I'm not sure if he can read people's minds. Also one of the other vampires in the coven, a boy with bronze hair, could tell when I was looking into someone's mind....I was thinking that he might have a power to do with reading people's minds or something....maybe something similar to your power" I say.

The other side of the line is dead quiet, before I hear muffled conversation from the other end.

The conversation dies down.

"Well, Izzy....do you want us to come over so that you are a little more protected....and so my shield can be a little stronger?" Hazel suggests.

"Um....-" I start to answer, but get cut off.

"Are you going to tell Jasper?" She says a little timidly, worried if it might upset me.

"I think that I shouldn't tell him, I mean....what if he likes the way his life is now....or-or if I remind him too much about our parents or old life?" I say, slightly sad.

"We will be there in a couple of days Izzy....two weeks at most. If you need us before then, just phone and we will be there" she says sternly, as if daring me to say no.

"Ok.....but why two weeks at the most? I mean you could be here in a couple of days if you wanted" I say a little curious.

"Well....we...I...we have some things to sort out..." She says, as if she is hiding something. But I don't want to push her.

"Alright..-" I say trailing off at the end. Should I tell her about Jasper losing control, me helping.....I think that he might realise. No, I won't tell them or worry them, I will just keep the coven and Jasper at bay for now and tell her later.

"Well I will see you....when I see you" I say, trying to end the conversation before she starts to ask questions again.

"Alright......I know that you are trying to hide something Izzy but I will get you to spill when we get to Forks" she says a little happier.

"Same here Hazel...oh and say hi to your brother for me" I say smiling. Of course she would get it out of me, she was like a sister. But she would have to wait until then.

"Ok, I have to go. The little devil himself is creating a huge mess, bye!" She says

I laugh. "Bye Hazel" I say hanging up.

Oh how I miss my best friend.

AFTER SCHOOL

I had been actively avoiding the vampire coven throughout the whole day.

One of the girls, the pixie, had tried to talk to me in one of my classes and corner me after the class was finished. But I had run away as fast as I could around humans and made the excuse that I didn't want to be late for my classes on my first day.

When I had entered my history class, I had discovered that Jasper had the same class.

Of corse he had the same class as me, with my luck and what other classes would Jasper be taking? He loves history too much not to study it, even if the stupid humans got some of the dates wrong.

The teacher had seated me in the same row as Jasper, but a couple of seats across from him.

I had a habit of muttering the correct dates for things under my breath in classes, but usually no-one would hear, however it seemed that Jasper had the same habit.

When the teacher had said some dates, both Jasper and I had muttered the correct dates and we, obviously hearing each other thanks to the vampire hearing, had wiped our heads around to look at the other.

I had quickly realised that I was not meant to be able to hear and know the correct date, me appearing to be human, and turned quickly back to the front of the class.

Though I could still feel Jasper's stares boring into the side of my head, for quite some time after. His emotions showed shock, frustration and then thoughtful. I had so desperately wanted to look into his mind to see if he was piecing the pieces together and working out that it was me, but I couldn't. I sure that if the bronze haired one could tell that I was reading someone's mind, then he would be able to do it from a distance.

Now I was walking home through the forest, hoping to clear my mind and think through some of the things that had been happening today.

As I walked, I picked up a couple of vampire scents, the same coven as the one from school.

I could follow their scents to where they live and try to get an understanding of Jasper's new life and the power that the bronze haired one posses. Maybe the others have powers as well. Do they live in a house on a street like I do or do they live in a house in a forest? Do they all live separately?

I knew that there were at least 2 more vampires in the coven because I had come across their scents in the forest last night while hunting. What were they like? Did they attend school and were just off for today or are they older and just stay home?

All these question swam around my head.

Curiosity killed the cat and I'm sure someday would kill me too.

I could now see my house not too far off in the distance, I would be there in less than minute with my vampire speed.

Ok, I would go home and do the homework that the teachers had set me from the lessons today, then I would go hunting and go looking for the coven's house.

I quickly cheeked for any humans around and flashed across the road in front of my house, to the door, opening it and running straight into my room, all in under 10 seconds.

Just a quick reminder.

If you have been wondering who the Hazel character is, if you remember she and her brother are featured in an earlier chapter called 'the old Bella'.

See you in the next chapter.
