Chapter 20

Bella

The dreams were still haunting me. That voice was never going away. I could still hear it, taunting me every day in all my dreams it was there in the background. I swear I can hear it calling my name 'Isabella" it says.

I feel like I am going a bit insane.

I started to notice a few things happen to me as my birthday grew closer, everyday someone or I notice something new. My hair was stronger, no longer leaving as many strands in the brush or down the drain, with more body and volume it was also slightly lighter. Not a dark brown but a chestnut with red highlights, my mother always said she could see hints of red. I could see better, not much but just a little better than before. I had better control of my movements while doing my martial arts. I had always been good because I learned from vampires but even Jane said it was getting better. I was driving a little faster, had more control over the car and could anticipate what was about to happen. It was nothing major we all just put it up to late puberty but I knew better. I was changing. Something was happening to me and I didn't know if I was ready.

Going to school was also getting better, I remember more things now. The humans stayed away from the Cullen's, they started to shy from me as they know that Rose and I are dating, We sat together either at the Cullen's table or outside. It's cold but we enjoy the time alone.

The school has started to notice that some of their eyes have changed colour but luckily for them, my parents had already been working on contact lenses for vampires. They only last a couple of hours before dissolving but it's better than nothing. So they all wear different colours on different days and sometimes so do I just to confuse them.

Carlisle still drinks animal blood but I think that's just his power because he doesn't seem to have any adverse effects. I would like to study his venom actually. Compare it with other vampires. See if maybe it has different qualities or maybe a different genetic make-up. I know that it's a virus but maybe his might be one or two genes different. Karyotyping vampire venom wasn't easy but it wasn't impossible either.

Jane and Tanya have been closer than ever. I think they need to be, they might take a little longer than most vampires but they have a lot of hurt between them and a lot of mistrust.

Alec and Irina are just disgusting. Their love is sickly sweet. They are kissing each other every few seconds, cuddling, and finishing each other's sentences. OK exaggerating but still. It's just too much.

Alice seemed to be excited about something. Bouncing every two minutes before zoning out. She said she would tell us later this week. Jasper is leeching all her energy, poor guy can barely sit still himself because of her. But we have been getting into more mischief. We pranked the principal but did not get caught. We pranked a few others but nothing as notable as the principle.

Emmett and I have been pranking the family and Kate. I think he has a crush on her. It's the cutest but I can tell they are both waiting for their mates. It's just too sad for one to meet a mate and then leave the other alone. We put flour in her shampoo. It was not what we expected. I think we will dye something next time.

Edward is still a dick. But he's getting better I think he's starting to notice that he's the only one in his family that is unhappy about the whole arrangement and the fact that I'm the daughter to the V means he can't really do much to me anyway.

Esme is still trying me fatten me up and I'm still trying to get her to marry me. I even got her a cheap ring. Couple hundred dollars. Still married to C-man. I guess I'll have to take her on a date then. Don't know what though. Lol.

My birthday is in a couple of weeks the dreams have stopped but I know something bad is going to happen I can just feel it. I feel it deep in my bones, like Alice and her visions but this is not something any decision can change it is inevitable and I'm afraid she won't see it coming.

No one will.
