Bella's point of view.

A new school. Yeah, I was so excited. Not! You sort of lost the excitement and nervousness of going to a new school where nobody knew you after a century or two, especially with all of the teenagers hormones going wild. It just didn't appeal to me – I'd never liked being the centre of attention, it wasn't going to change now.

Plus, I had to share a dorm! With humans! Did the people in charge not realise what a risk that was? Sure, I had perfect self-control, but what if I slipped? I'd never drank human blood, and I didn't want to do so, but boarding did have its good things. For one, it was highly secured, and yes, I knew that probably couldn't stop David, he'd know that if he killed them it may lead to a visit from an unpleasant visit from the Volturi for him.

Its not that didn't David, at least I did at first. But never in that way. After he started getting all posessive of me, trying to kid-nap me and me to marry him, the friendship I'd felt towards him had turned to hate. Besides, its not like I couldn't kill, easily too – I'd been part of the Volturi for a while, and someone who was as highly valued as Jane and Alec, I preferred not to if I could. Though I knew I may have too. After all, it was getting a bit ridiculous, constantly looking over my shoulder all the time.

I'd left the Volturi a century ago, but we were still great friends. Jane had told me that she and Alec might come over to board with me, if I wanted. I told them I would ask them to come if I needed them. Aro wouldn't care, he loved me, like a daughter obviously, thought my gift was great.

My gift? What's so great about it? I could control all elements – fire, water, earth, wind and I could do wierd stuff with electricity, like I couild control lightning and stuff. Everyone had a real laugh when I was around, vampires, obviously not humans.

I sighed, and picked up my suitcases, throwing them into my baby blue porshe before speeding away.
