Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. But possible hotties that might be added to the story are definetly all MINE! Don't worry. It's a BXE story. Enjoy!

"Our gourds are the only thing that can kill us, yet they are the sole object that magnifies our abilities. Never let anyone get a hold of your gourd. They have possession of our gourd, they have possession of our soul."

I rolled my eyes. "I know, Hannah, I know. Don't worry."

I looked into Hannah's worried, purple eyes. She had the ability the create vortexes, in a sense. Her ability centered around her gourd, which sucked in all sorts of things, even if they were the size of a mountian.

"I'll miss you, Isabella. Good luck."

"So I um, got you a welcome present." Charlie broke me out of my thoughts and the silence of the car that had settled after our initial greetings had been exchanged.

I blinked. "Really? You didn't have to do that you know." I felt guilty. Charlie wasn't really my father. I didn't really have any biological parents, considering I was kinda born out of a vine and gourd.

"I know, but I wanted to. It's an old chevy truck that I bought from Billy Black, you remember him and Jake?"

Soon to be Wolf boy and Elder #1. How could I forget? I overheard the elders and Sam Uley talking about phasing and legends and then I saw Sam phase with my supersight and hearing that I absorbed from Lindsay, another of my sisters.

"Yeah, I remember them. Thanks for the truck, I bet I'll love it."

The rest of the night passed in a blur and I found myself in the school office the next morning with only a small recollection as to how I got there.

"Mrs. Cope? I'm Isabella Swan, the new student."

"Oh! Yes, we've been expecting you. Here's your schedual and map of the school. Have a good day!"

Boy was she right. The whole school seemed to stop and stare as I passed through the halls to my classes, and I was even stared at in class. But I didn't pay attention to any of the students, and something about my mood kept them from approaching. (For the most part anyway. A girl named Jessica seemed to be stupidedly oblivious.)

No one had managed to grab my attention in this boring town, until lunch. I had been pretending to listen to Mike and Jessica babble about nothing in particular, catching the sympathetic looks that Angela shot my way, when they walked in.

All five of them were beyond human beauty, the first sign that they weren't fully human.

"Who're they?" I asked.

"The Cullens." Angela answered. "From left to right, it's Alice Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Rosalie Hale, Jasper Hale, and Edward Cullen. They're all adopted and all of them except for Edward are together with each other."

Jessica put in her two cents worth. "Don't bother with him. He doesn't date."

I looked over at the table that the Cullens sat at and saw Edward smiling and his lips were moving rapidly, like he was talking, although the other kids weren't looking at him. My curiousity got the better of me and I used Lindsay's ability to hear in on what he was saying.

"... the new student the dirty laundry about the Cullens."

He paused for a minute, like he was listening to a ghost talking, then he spoke again.

"Not an ounce of horror. It's disappoiting really."

Another pause. Another answer.

"I don't know, Emmett. I can't read her mind."

I drew in a sharp breath and paled.

The bell rang and we went to our next classes. I had biology.

When I walked in, most of the seats were already filled. I handed the sheet that needed signatures to Mr. Banner and he directed me to my seat. "Go sit beside Mr. Cullen, Ms. Swan."

I nodded and sat down, which happened to be beside a possible mind reader who was currently glaring at me with coal black eyes. Was he mad because he couldn't read my mind? Was he glaring at me because he knew I knew he could read minds somehow?

Because of Megan's (sister) ability to have impenetrable skin, I wasn't scared of being injured, but his stare seemed so animalistic that I still shivered infinesmally in fear.

The bell rang after an eternity and Edward Cullen was out the door before I even made a move to pack up my stuff.

Edward Cullen didn't come back to school for the rest of the week.
