Isabella Belifield

Chapter 12

We all split up at the store in Prot Angeles.  Nymphadora went to get furniture and stuff for Jonathan and Mariah.  Natasha went to buy new school outfits for everyone.  I went to get the school supplies. 

                "Hi there!" a girl chirped from behind me.  "I'm Alice."

                I had already sensed her coming.  I already knew she was vampire. 

                She offered me her hand and I shook it.  I got a good look at her eyes.  They were gold. 

                "Vegan" I commented.  "I don't really see others of that diet very often."

                "Neither do I" she told me, still hyper.  She reminds me a lot of Natasha.  "Do you have a coven?"

                "Yeah" I answered.  "I bet you'll find our parent-figures' choice of occupation very amusing" I grinned. 

                "What is it?"

                "Both doctors.  I was laughing for days when they first told me their plans.  Oh, I'm Bella, by the way.  Isabella Bielefeld."

                "Cool.  Carlisle is a doctor too.  He's our father.  He works at the hospital in Forks."

                "Carlisle?" I echoed.  Ok, that caught me off guard.   "Well, that's weird" I mused. 

                "What?" she asked, confused. 

                "Same name as my older brother back before my change" I told her. 

                "Really?" she asked. 

                I nodded. 

                "So, what's the rest of your coven like?" I changed the subject. 

                "There are 7 of us in total.  5 of us are going to school."

                "Forks High School?" I asked. 

                "Yeah."

                "Sweet, so are we" I grinned.  "There are 11 of us in all.  5 of us are going to Forks High.  4 of us are staying home.  Our 2 newest members aren't really ready to be looked in the eye - too young."

                She nodded, understanding what I meant. 

                "I'm going to start out as a freshman.  What about you?"

                "Sophomore" she answered. 

                "So, you might meet Brandon and Elizabeth in your classes" I told her.  "They are the twins, both going in as Sophomores this time around."

                We were both shopping for 5 so we did our shopping together.  Alice and I split up at the checkout areas.  Natasha and Nymphadora met me in the parking lot.  I didn't say anything about meeting another vampire until we got home. 

                "Are you sure it's ok to live here with such a large coven?" Alexander asked. 

                "Yeah, Alice seemed nice" I told them all.  "I'm also curious about them."

                Alexander raised an eyebrow in my direction, wanting me to go on. 

                "Their father's name is Carlisle" I told them. 

                They didn't protest any further.  They all knew my story in and out.  We all knew each other's stories.  There were no secrets in this coven, at least not any big ones.
