Chapter One

~*~ Helena's PoV ~*~

Didn't humans know it's rude to stare? No matter how hot I am, or how cool and expensive my car is, it's rude. But I like it. I love the attention that both give me. I'm what people call an attention-whore.

I could sense vampires from the people watching me. The Cullens as I was informed by Aro. Well I didn't really need the information given to me because I watched the whole 'vampire thought that his one meaning of living was dead and wanted to die but the human (which is really eww) was still alive', something the vampire didn't know is that it was I that convinced Aro, Caius, and Marcus not to kill him when he first asked. Not that anyone really knew that little fact.

But the Cullens were... what's the right word... amusing. They were vegetarians, or at least that's what they called themselves, they still had some humanity. The whole drink animal blood instead of human was gross. Well to me it was. I tried drinking from animals sometime after I turned, but it could never satisfied me enough to stop. It was probably because to use my ability I would always have to be fed or some abilities wouldn't work.

Now that usually wouldn't matter much to me, but because I wanted to blend as a human in Forks, I would have to change my body a little. My ability is a copycat. I can copy abilities and people's appearances. I had also been able to copy a werewolf, disgusting creatures. They were feral and very rare since one attacked Caius and he started hunting them.

Once I knew how the ability and how it worked, I would always be able to do it. My favorite of all of them, probably also my most useful, was being able to become human... sorta. I wouldn't age or anything, I don't know if I could get pregnant when changed, I hadn't even tried. But my body heat would be the same as a human. I would also have a heartbeat, if I had consumed enough human blood before. My eyes wouldn't be red; they would be whatever color I choose for my appearance. I also would smell human, not the sweet scent that attracted humans to me. I also had soft skin. It wasn't hard and marble like. But I couldn't die from injuries, if my body ever thought I was in trouble, I would go back to my vampire form.

My appearance for Forks was my real identity. I hadn't used it in a long time. I have white blond hair with a few black highlights and gray eyes. A slender body that attracted boys... well before I turned it did, and it still did as most of the boys at Forks High were staring at me and thinking not so innocent thoughts.

Today I was wearing light blue skinny jeans with a white top that said 'Don't talk to me'. My eyeliner and mascara done to perfection. These days were so much easier then when I wore corsets and heavy dresses. So much simpler...

I could feel the eyes of everybody as I paraded to the front office.

"Hello, I'm Helena Valkrie. I need my schedule." I told the secretary, she had red hair and her name tag said 'Ms. Cope'. She looked up and started looking for something. I had a sense that she wasn't the most organized person around.

"Ahh, miss Valkrie, I have your schedule right here. I have highlighted the best routes to every class. Please get this slip signed from every teacher from your classes and return it back to me." She said in an annoying perky voice. I nod and walked out. I don't know why, but overly perky always annoyed me. Made me want to... do vampire stuff... Yeah, let's call it that.

As I walked down the hallways, people would stop and stare. Girls with jealousy and boys with lust. It would never get old. I listened to some of their talk as I went to English. Boys talked about 'bedding' me and taking bets. Girls about my family and money, some even wondered if I had a hot brother. The only person I considered a brother was Alec, and I don't really think he was that hot. Well the whole sibling love might have affected my judgment on that, but still.
