Twilight at East High
~Chapter One- Let's go to Albuquerque~
-Bella-
Just as I was about to tell my father that I wanted to go back to Phoenix, my father stopped me. "Bella, I just got a call from the Police Station. We're moving."
I was speechless. "What?"
"We're moving to Albuquerque. The flight's tonight."
I was confused; how come they needed him so soon? But I didn't bother asking; it was a good thing. I gave him a good hug, and said, "I'll go pack."
Edward was already in my room, stuffing clothes into my duffel bag. "Edward, we're not going to Phoenix. Charlie's got a job in Albuquerque. We're going there."
Edward looked troubled. "When's the flight?"
"Tonight. Do we have time?"
Edward took out his phone and began dialling a number. "Alice? Have you seen…? OK." He snapped the phone shut and grinned. "Albuquerque it is."
"How about you?" I asked.
"Well, coincidentally, Carlisle has a new job in Albuquerque too."
I smiled, glad that Edward was coming with me. Then I thought about something- Albuquerque was very sunny.
"Hang on, Albuquerque is sunny. How are you supposed to attend school, and everything?"
Edward chuckled. "It just so happens that Carlisle has met a Newborn Vampire in Albuquerque. Apparently, its venom is strange."
"What do you mean by strange, exactly?"
"I mean, it does what normal venom does, when injected in other species. However, when it is given to other vampires…" Edward looked at me. "You do understand that our venom is sort of like human's saliva, right?" I nodded, and he continued. "Well, when others, including himself, swallow that venom, they look temporarily…human."
"What?" I was astounded. When had Carlisle found this Newborn?
"I didn't believe him either at first, but I knew Carlisle wasn't one to lie."
I pondered this, and I kissed him on the cheek. "See you in Albuquerque," I said, taking my duffel bag from him.
-Alice-
Edward! Relax. Bella will be OK. Charlie will be able to look after her until we arrive.
I saw Edward sigh, and he said quietly, "I know." However, he was still quite stiff.
Why are you worrying so much? I questioned.
He replied quietly, "I think it's better if we pretend not to know Bella."
I was astounded. Why? What has brought this on?
"I just think… it's for the best."
Suddenly, I had a vision. It was a little while after we started school, and Bella and Edward were together, at our new school. I then realised what he was going to do. I relaxed slightly.
Does she know? Have you told her?
I looked at his eyes, and he moved them sideways. I knew that meant "no".
Edward! Why? She does have the right to know. What a great thing to spring on her.
"I just thought of it now, OK?"
But Edward, are you sure that's the right thing to do?
"Haven't you seen what happens yet?" He questioned.
No, I lied. I had blocked him out when I saw the vision. Don't blame me if it goes wrong.
He looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, "Just try. But you can't keep anything from me," but I just smirked and looked away.
When we arrived in Albuquerque, it was still dark. We were very lucky Carlisle had already bought a house. Jasper and Emmett had brought a lot of furniture with them from Forks; only Esme was with Edward, Rosalie and I.
I met Carlisle at the house. He gave me this bottle, full of what I knew to be venom.
"Drink a sip. That's all you'll need," he had said. "When you are thirsty, you will know. Your eyes will remain topaz, however. You will be warmer, and you won't be as pale.
You won't sparkle either. However, it may hurt."
Rose, Edward and I took one sip. It was kind of revolting; it was like a human drinking someone else's saliva. Ew. But I felt it course through my veins, and I felt like fire was running through my body. I found it pleasant however. After a while, it stopped. I looked at Rosalie I saw she seemed like (for us, anyway) she had a tan. Emmett and Jasper walked in, and I saw they had darker skin too. When Jasper hugged me, I noticed that he was quite warm. I felt warm too.
"Hey Jazz," I said, snuggling up to him. "You're quite warm."
He laughed, and then Edward asked, "Is Bella here yet?"
I had a vision, and I saw she'd be in Albuquerque in an hour. He nodded.
Don't go there straight away, I warned, Charlie will think it's weird. Go at twelve. Charlie will be asleep by then.
He nodded with his eyes, and walked away. I sighed. "Carlisle, we need to enrol at East High, and start school Monday."
Carlisle nodded, and I sighed. I just hoped Bella would be OK, for Edward's sake.
-Bella-
I really liked the apartment that Charlie had rented; and the temperature. He, on the other hand, thought it was too hot and dry. It was really obvious that he had lived somewhere cold and damp, just like Forks, for a very long time. Charlie had told me he had been thinking about moving to Albuquerque since I arrived, because it had been suggested. He really didn't want to move, but when he was ordered to, he kept it a big surprise. He knew I didn't have much stuff, so he was extremely surprised when I told him that I had finished in about fifteen minutes (thanks to Edward).
I hoped that Edward would come, and I waited for a while. At midnight, I began to hear deep breathing coming from Charlie's room. I knew he was asleep. I looked out the window and there was Edward's mesmerizing face, staring into mine.
I opened the window, and he came in. "I thought he would never fall asleep!" he whispered, flashing my favourite crooked smile.
I laughed, and I hugged him. "I can't believe Charlie has been planning for ages," I murmured. "I mean, a lot of the furniture was disappearing, but the small things. When we left, things like the TV and beds were still there! No wonder the spare mattresses went…"
Edward chuckled, and then I saw his face become serious. "Bella, I know this sounds stupid, but we need to break-up."
My heart practically sank to the pit of my stomach and stopped. "Why?" I managed to squeak.
He saw my expression, and laughed. I really couldn't see what was so funny. He was breaking up with me.
"Not really Bella… just temporarily. We're new to the school. It would be strange if we already knew each other. What if James catches wind of it? He'll know. We'll be together, just not where anyone can see us. Not even your dad knows I'm in Albuquerque."
I sighed, and nodded. "But you'll come here, right? Just like before?"
He nodded and kissed my forehead. "Of course. Just like before."
"I'm going to East High School; I'm starting on Monday, Charlie said," I said, yawning.
"Yeah, I know. Alice told me." He said, stroking my hair. "But you better sleep now Bella."
I nodded, and fell asleep in his arms.
