Chapter 1

First meeting

BPOV:

My alarm went off playing 'Super massive black hole by muse' as a symbol to say 'wake up!' even though there is no need to actually wake up because I'm never asleep- because I can't sleep.

I have two days left of teaching my girls and performing on stage (which I have done every night for the past 4 months) during meals and after for the humans on board as their entertainment.

I got up to have my morning shower whilst letting my music play which I could hear through to the bathroom. I scrubbed up before drying off and heading back into my suite courtesy of my brothers owning the ship.

I got dressed in my Black bikini before throwing on my royal blue paramore T-shirt to cover up then going to deal with my hair. I brushed it out and let it hang near my waist, my blood red hair is the one thing I like about my self it suits my personality and plus no one can miss me at all.

I headed off to the pool like I do every morning for my daily swim before starting my lessons. I reached my lounger and placed my towel down before dropping my bag with my iPod and dance shoes and clothes when I suddenly felt it.

As a vampire I have a high sense when someone is watching me I turned to where the source was coming from.

I looked up to see a family of 7 vampires watching me, I looked at them and let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding.

My eyes landed on who I believed to be the parents and smiled and gave a little curtsy-from which I received 2 grins from them and a little wave off of the woman.

I turned to look at their children and I saw 2 girls, one was short and had black spiky hair the other was incredibly beautiful who was slightly taller with long blond hair.

I was taller than the two of them and my hair was defiantly longer but I was not prettier.

I gave the girls a little wave and received 2 squeals at which I couldn't resist giggling at.

I looked at the three boys next the first was tall and lanky with blond hair and he gave me a small smile.

The second was taller and more muscled with short black hair that could've scared me if it weren't for the big grin plastered on his face. They gave a little soldier salute and I giggled again whilst shaking my head. Then lastly the final son who was watching me, he was gorgeous he had a chiselled face with long Reddish-brown hair that made my fingers tingle with want and as I looked into his eyes- wow! They were a stunning gold that had practically captured me. I gave him a polite curtsy and a little wave and I was rewarded with a crooked grin that took my breath away.

I turned to sit down trying to get my breathing regular again. After a few minutes I decided that I should head into the pool; I removed my top and heard a gasp, I looked to see where it came from it was the guy with the Reddish-brown hair.

I let my hair fall into my face and smiled it was times like this I was thankful for not being able to blush.

I suddenly felt two warm arms wrap around my leg; I looked to see little Chloe my 9 year old dancer. I bent down to pick her up and gently spun her and was rewarded with a squeal.

I was suddenly crowded in a group hug with squeals. All my girls were right in front of me and I laughed as I held Chloe in my arms and said good morning.

My girls ranged from 9-15 years of age and were fantastic dancers that performed with me every night until they left the ship.

Then I had an idea "girls, how about we start the day with a splash landing?" I asked sneakily knowing my girls would never say no.

The girls were dragging me to the edge of the pool with grins on their faces.

I looked up to see the family watching us with smiles on their faces as we lined up and held hands. I looked left to right checking they were ready before counting.

"3….2…1….JUMP!!!!!!!!" I screamed before we all jumped into the pool creating a massive splash.

All the girls were squealing as they came up for air, and I couldn't help but laugh at their excitement.

Suddenly I was being pounced on by 10 girls splashing me with water covering me completely and I could here the laughs of the vampires watching us.

When I heard a scream, I looked up to see Chloe passed out on the floor with Nicole her older sister shaking her to wake up.

I leapt up out of the pool and ran over probably much faster than I should have.

"Chloe, honey can you hear me?" I shouted I got no response; then I remember that she was diabetic.

"Nicole, has she had her Insulin today?" I asked, I had a feeling that she hadn't as to how early she was up.

"No miss she was in such a hurry; let me go grab it!" she told me with a hint of fear.

"HURRY!!!!!" I shouted, I was beginning to worry but not panic because I had two medical degrees after all.

Suddenly I felt a presence next to me, I looked up to see the father figure of the vampires he had his medical kit with him….a doctor? Wow! He must have some control.

"Hi, my name is Carlisle do you know what happened?" he asked me checking Chloe's pulse and temperature.

"Yes, my name is Isabella, this is Chloe she's 9 years old- a student of mine she has diabetes type 1; her sister has gone to fetch her Insulin she hasn't taken it and I doubt that she has eaten either due to the fact of this morning's activities. Her BP is 40/60 and her pulse is slightly irregular and her temperature is lower than normal." I spoke with confidence knowing that I was correct.

Carlisle looked at me with surprise on his face, guessing that he was wondering how I knew this.

Nicole had just arrived back with her pack in her hand; Carlisle took the Insulin to prepare for the needle, whilst I took her blood monitor. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him look at me cautiously as I pricked her finger, the blood didn't bother me in the slightest as I took a drop to put it onto her machine to test her sugar levels.

"There dangerously low Carlisle…" I was broken off by him interrupting.

"Here, take another from the pack she'll need another shot." He handed me the pack after injecting the first needle and as soon as he was done I found another vain and injected the other.

Then Carlisle spoke to me, but so low only vampires could hear us "Would you mind joining us for a few minutes after for a chat of coarse once the little girl is alright?"

He asked politely, I wasn't worried due to my brothers I was used to holding audiences so speaking to a family of vampires that were like me would be fine.

"Of course Carlisle I expect that you and your family have a lot of questions for me?" I asked him calmly.

"Yes…how…why did you call us a family?...I mean that is what we are but usually our kind refer to us as a coven?" he asked me sceptically.

I couldn't resist giggling "Because my dear friend I know better than to assume that, especially with our preferred lifestyle as it were". I smiled at him he was a calm collected man that much I am sure.

There was a little gasp; I looked to see Chloe had woke.

"Honey are you ok?" I asked, she reached out for me and took her in my arms whilst standing up as she nodded her head against my chest.

"Thank you for the help Carlisle and I will be sure to speak to you later". I smiled as he left to go back to his family.

The girls suddenly surrounded us asking if she was ok and I knew that she hated the attention.

"Girls, please be a bit quieter". I said sternly the girls immediately I walked over to my lounger and rapped Chloe in my towel as she clung tighter.

The girls all sat round us as I spoke.

"Girls this morning what's going to happen is you are all going to go to the studio and Leah and Jemma are going to order room service for your breakfast then you can tidy up and Leah and Jemma are in charge so you will do as they tell you. Then you will get changed into your dance clothes and get your Ballet pumps out and wait until I arrive, you may put some music on but not to loud…do I make myself clear?"

I was calm but the girls could defiantly hear the order behind it and the girls never disobeyed me which I was thankful for.

They nodded their heads in agreement and promised to behave.

"Now it's just gone 7 you have until 11 to be ready by the time I get there now off you go please."

The girls stood up swiftly and said goodbye to me and Chloe and Nicole as they made their way to the studio.

"Now Chloe I want you to go with your sister to the studio but take it easy have something to eat and try and relax and do as your sister tells you okay honey?" I asked her softly.

She nodded in agreement and Nicole took her from my lap and held her tightly.

"Nicole honey, make sure she has something high in sugar and don't let the other girls crowd her too much and make sure she stays relaxed".

"Yes miss…and miss thanks for helping my little sister" she gave me a little smile. I stood up and gave her a little peck on her forehead and she turned to go to the studio.

I made sure things were nice and tidy and packed all my stuff back in my bag before heading over to the family of vampires to have our little chat.

I stood before Carlisle and his wife. "Ah Isabella, this is my wife Esme". He pointed to his wife next to him and I gave her a little curtsy before speaking.

"Hello Esme, it's nice to meet you". I said with a little smile. Okay so I was slightly nervous.

"Hello dear, it's lovely to meet you at last after seeing you earlier". She spoke so softly and gave me a hug before giving me a little kiss on my cheek and I relaxed as her caramel hair brushed my shoulders as she stepped back.

"Isabella would you care to meet the rest of my family?" Carlisle asked me

"Of course Carlisle, it would be a pleasure to meet the others".

They guided me to the rest of the family that were waiting on the loungers I was so relaxed with them I was shocked myself I mean I never even feel like this with my own brothers.
