(U)Chapter Two(U)

Draco stepped off the school bus the following day, his eyes scanning the crowds of school children and eventually his eyes landed on Bella. The American girl was leaning against a bright red truck and her gaze was focused on a car on the other side of the car park, a very nice red convertible. And climbing from that convertible were Rosalie, Alice and Emmett. No Edward. And No Jasper. Frowning Draco made his way over to his first American friend. They couldn't be absent because of him and Bella could they? They'd both reacted so strongly to them yesterday, had something about the two new pupils offended them both?

Surely not.

"Hey Bella," Draco said softly as he came up to Bella who had just denied an invitation to join the others in the back of a blue van, "So they aren't here today."

"No," Bella muttered, watching the remaining Cullens as they walked into the school, "Apparently not." She turned to look at him, "What did we do?"

"I haven't foggiest," Draco answered.

The day passed slowly and at the end of it, rather than take the yellow bus home Bella offered to give him a lift. Apparently the red truck was hers, given to her by her father as a welcome home present.

"Do you actually like it then?" Draco asked, resisting the urge to hold on for dear life as she accidentally crunched into second gear.

"It's grown on me," Bella admitted, "Are you gonna get a car?"

"I can't drive," Draco answered.

"What?" Bella asked with a frown.

"Driving age is seventeen in England," Draco answered, glad he'd researched both the English and American muggle world, "And I hadn't started learning yet. I don't mind. I'm happy with the bus. Er, turn left here."

"The bus is horrible, school buses always are," Bella cringed.

"It's the fourth on the right," Draco nodded to his house and Bella obediently pulled up next to it. "Well thanks for the lift…"

"I've got an idea," Bella said suddenly, "To save you from the bus."

"I told you, I don't mind the bus," Draco pointed out.

"Look I only live two roads down. I can give you a lift to and from school," she smiled, "What do you think?"

"Are you sure?" Draco asked.

"I wouldn't have offered otherwise," Bella pointed out seriously.

"No, I don't suppose you would have," Draco said quietly, "All right. If you're ok with that I'd love to take you up that offer. And while we're making offers…"

"Yeah?" Bella asked.

"Fancy coming in and helping me with that evil English essay?" Draco shot her his most winning smile, the one that had used to make Pansy got weak at the knees. It didn't have the same effect with Bella. She laughed.

"Sure," she smiled. Draco led the way up the drive of his house and onto the porch, "This house is practically a clone of mine. It's slightly creepy." Draco opened the front door and stepped inside, calling out as he did so,

"Mother! Father! I'm home and I've brought a friend!" This seemed to Bella to be a perfectly normal greeting. In reality it was a warning to stop anything magical in the house. Narcissa was the first to reach them at the door, rushing down the stairs with a beaming smile on her face.

"Welcome home Draco, how was school today?" Narcissa asked, brushing a hand over her son's hair, "And who is your pretty friend?"

"School was fine and this is Bella. She's new at the school as well so we're both suffering in the same way, new place, new friends, new teachers," Draco answered, smiling at Bella as she held her hand out.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs Malfoy," she said politely, a little stunned at the sheer beauty of the woman smiling at her. And that dress, Bella wouldn't be caught dead in such a slinky, sexy thing. And yet Mrs Malfoy was wearing it around the house like it was a pair of jeans and a t-shirt!

"Oh please dear, call me Narcissa," Draco's mother said warmly, "I'm so glad Draco was able to make a friend on his first day. I did worry."

"Mother," Draco said, flushing with embarrassment.

"You're home early son," Lucius said as he stepped out of the dining room.

"Bella gave me a lift," Draco answered, "In her truck."

"Truck?" Lucius frowned.

"Truck."

Bella blinked in shock at the figure that was Lucius Malfoy, every bit as elegant as his wife and every bit as blond as his son. What a family!

"So me and Bella are going to go and study in my room," Draco said, heading up the stairs. Bella, blinking out of her mild shock, followed slowly.

"Leave the door open!" Narcissa called out to each other.

"Mother!" Draco protested but when they entered his room he did as she asked, leaving the door wide open. His room was very dark, thick black curtains blocking out the sunlight until he pulled them open. But still everything was dark, dark green walls, black silk sheets on the large bed, black gauze drapes hung from the ceiling and all of the other furniture was black or dark green.

"Whoa," Bella mumbled.

"What?" Draco asked.

"I didn't realise you were a Goth," Bella said, looking around. The only things that weren't black or green were the silver ties for the curtains and the silver candlesticks on his desk.

"A what?" Draco asked. This hadn't come up in his research.

"Don't you know what a Goth is?" Bella asked.

"No."

"Someone into dark stuff and…yeah, mostly depressed and unhappy and…" Bella explained awkwardly.

"Oh I'm not, black's my favourite colour," Draco explained a little sheepishly, "Black or dark green. Silvers not bad either but black's my favourite."

"Oh," Bella mumbled, "So…English?"

"Yeah."

They sat side by side on the extremely comfortable bed and worked on their English essays, chatting as they did so. Draco learned that Bella had agreed to life with her father again because her mother had re-married. But it wasn't that she didn't like her new stepfather, it was that she knew her mother needed to be free to move around with him, to have some alone time with him.

"You're a very nice person," Draco had commented, "Not like me."

"What do you mean?" Bella had asked.

"I can be selfish, extremely selfish. And sometimes spiteful. And spoilt. And when I was younger I was a brat. And I hold too many grudges, the simplest of things can make me hate a person," Draco had answered sadly.

"I'm sure that's not true," Bella had protested.

Draco had decided not to argue with her, she'd find out herself when he slipped up as he was bound to. He just hoped he didn't hurt his new friends feelings. She was nice and friendly and he genuinely liked her.

It wasn't until half five that Bella left, both of their essays completed. Lucius and Narcissa had high praise for the pretty young woman who had made her son smile and whose manner were remarkably good for an American muggle.

The next day Bella picked him up in her truck, both of them wrapped up against the horrible rain that poured down. Neither said it but both hoped that the missing Cullens would be there. They were not. Nor were they there the next day or the next day. Edward and Jasper were absent and Bella finally admitted how frustrated she was as she drove Draco home after school on the Friday.

"If something about me had offended Edward Cullen so much he should at least have had the decency to tell me what it was! Not stay away like a coward!" she snapped, her knuckles white as she gripped the steering wheel.

"A pair of cowards," Draco growled, "When I find out what about me repulsed Jasper Hale so much I will curse-kill him for judging me on sight!" Draco bit his lip at the almost slip which thankfully Bella hadn't picked up on. They'd parted for the weekend and on Sunday evening something strange had happened. It said on the local news that a security guard at some mills had been killed in an animal attack.

"Do they know what it was?" Draco asked Monday morning as he and Bella made their way to school in her truck.

"No, my dad just told me to be careful," Bella answered, pulling the truck into the school car park, going round twice before pulling into a good spot. They climbed out of the cab and out of habit looked across at the Cullens car, expecting the red convertible and finding a silver Volvo and two previously absent students.

"So they're here today," Draco mumbled.

"Apparently," Bella shrugged.

"Think they'll ignore us?" Draco asked as they walked into the school.

"We'll have to wait and see."

Draco didn't have to wait long.

He was walking from his English classroom to the boy's toilets when he almost walked into two people in the hallway, Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale. Glaring at them he made to go around them but Jasper reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Wait," his soft voice begged Draco, "I want to apologise to you."

"Tough," Draco glared at him, "Release my arm and let me pass."

"Please," Jasper looked at him pleadingly with beautiful amber eyes.

"What?" Draco asked coldly,

"I'm sorry for the way I reacted the other day, I was…unwell," Jasper said awkwardly, "I am sorry if I caused offence."

"Humph," Draco muttered, "Unwell, that's you're excuse for the fact that the very sight of me made you run and turn? What, are you allergic to platinum blonds? Or is it British people you're allergic to?"

"I said I'm sorry," Jasper repeated.

"Well it doesn't matter anyway. I do not know you and you not know me. Nor are we likely to get to know each other. So if you'll now let me pass I desperately need to pee," Draco said bluntly, trying to break the strong grip on his forearm. All he managed to do however was pull hard enough for Jaspers hand to slide down and grip his own, "Merlin your hands cold."

"I'm sorry," Jasper let go then, cradling his hand to the side, "and perhaps your right, we aren't friends and we probably shouldn't be. I apologise for having kept you." With that he turned and walked.

"God the pair of them are impossible," Alice muttered to herself, smiled at Draco and then followed her brother leaving Draco a little confused. The need to pee however got him moving again.

A similar conversation seemed to happen to Bella in Biology, not that Draco could hear what was being said over the teachers loud explanation of onion roots or something and Emily prattling on about Johnny Depp. But by the look on Bella's face whenever he could see it, it looked like she had got the unbelievable unwell excuse as well. She and Edward however continued to talk as they worked, not ceising all communication like Draco and Jasper had.

"What are we doing again?" Emily asked as Bella told Mr Molina that she and Edward had finished.

"Putting the names of the phases of mitosis to the things on the slides," Draco said, not really understanding. He'd been trying and failing to do it alone.

"Oh," Emily mumbled, "I don't know the phases of mitosis."

"Neither do I."

"Class, the golden onion has been won," Mr Molina said loudly to the working class, "By the speedy Miss Swan and Mr Cullen. Who's gonna have the prize?" The enthusiastic teacher asked, rushing to grab the spray painted onion on his desk. Edward graciously allowed Bella to have it. "Anyone else finished? I want you all to have done it by the end of the class."

"Um Mr Molina," Draco spoke up at the back of the room, "I haven't covered this before and Emily here is a little confused. Could we have some help?" For the rest of the class the cheerful teacher hovered around their desk, giving them advice and congratulating them when they guessed right for each slide.

The bell rang and Bella left still talking to Edward which if Draco was honest annoyed him a little bit, she was being far too nice to the guy. Following them at a safe distance he watched them talking at her locker and was actually pleased when something she had said riled the guy and he rushed off. Almost immediately though Draco hated himself for being pleased because Bella looked hurt at Edwards speedy disappearance.

"Hey, congrats on the onion," Draco smiled at her as he reached her side, "Saw you talking to Edward. So?"

"He said he was unwell," by the way she said it Bella wasn't entirely convinced by that either.

"Yeah, Jasper said the same," Draco agreed.

"You talked to him?" Bella asked.

"Er yeah, in the hall earlier. I er, wasn't as nice as you," Draco admitted.

"Meaning?"

"You talked to Edward for a whole lesson and after. I barely spoke to Jasper for a minute," Draco shrugged, "The guy was dick, excuse my language, and no amount of apologising will make up for that or the way made me feel."

"So you didn't accept his apology at all?" Bella asked with a frown.

"I did warn you I wasn't entirely a nice person," Draco reminded her.

"Yeah, you did," she mumbled, "So…home?"

"Home," Draco nodded. They walked out to the truck, passing the Cullens at their shiny Volvo on the way. Edward watched her like…well a bit like a stalker whilst Jasper looked away from Draco, not in a nasty way though. They reached the truck and Bella put her bag up on the hood, searching in it for her ever-illusive keys whilst Draco waited on the other side.

Everything that happened next seemed to happen in slow motion.

Tyler's big van swerved to hit a car…

It hit a patch of ice…

It slid uncontrollably right towards Bella…

And then Edward was there, pushing her down to the ground and holding out a hand at the on coming truck. Draco yelled in fear and shock as Edwards hand made a dent in the metal and stopped the van in place. Both he and Bella started at Edward in shock as the pale teen rose slowly, climbed over the back of the truck and legged it into the woods surrounding the school.

"What in Merlin's name was that?" Draco asked himself as everyone began to crowd around Bella who had gotten shakily to her feet. She looked over at Draco but he was still staring after Edward. No one noticed the rest of the Cullens speedy exit from the car park.

"Are you sure Draco?" Lucius asked his son as they sat together on the couch. Narcissa sat in the chair opposite, leaning over worriedly.

"Yes. The guy was on the other side of the car park on moment and with Bella the next. Then he stopped the van with his hand," Draco repeated the story, "I tell you he's not human. He can't be human."

"But what is he?" Lucius asked, sitting back with a worried expression on his face, "You said he and his brother missed time of school after reacting badly to you and Bella? How badly?"

"They both looked like they were going to be sick at the sight of us."

"What colour are their eyes?" Narcissa asked softly.

"Amber or…maybe gold," Draco answered.

"Like a werewolf's?" Lucius immediately asked.

"Yes, but it wasn't the full moon," Draco said quickly.

"Is there anything else strange about the family?" Narcissa asked.

"They don't eat. And they're really pale, deathly sort of pale. And Jasper's hand was cold," Draco listed what he'd noticed.

"His hand?" Lucius asked with a frown.

"He stopped me in the hall, ended up grabbing my hand. He was really strong too, but not as strong as Edward apparently," Draco ended in a mutter.

"Cold, pale, golden eyes and inhumanly strong," Lucius listed quietly, "My love, is it just mew or does that sound familiar?" He looked to his wife who nodded fearfully. "Replace gold with red and you have the basic description of a vampire."

"A vampire?" Draco gasped, "Surely not! In a school? No way!"

"Think about it my dragon," Narcissa said quietly, "Is that not how you'd describe a vampire? The un-dead. After all they can't be wizards, they'd have shown up on Harry's map and Lucius, you said there was nothing."

"Nothing at all. But a magical creature wouldn't have shown, Harry told it only shows a wizard or witches magical aura," Lucius explained.

"Vampires," Draco breathed, "But if they are why aren't their eyes red?"

"That I do not know," Lucius said, "But I know one thing. I want you to stay away from them. And the keep Bella away from them."

"Father, he saved Bella's life…"

"Irrelevant. If they are vampires they cannot be trusted, they could simply be waiting for an opportune moment to strike, selecting their meals and…" Lucius trailed off, "Or maybe the spilling of her blood in the accident would have sent them, into a frenzy, exposed them for what they were. We've seen enough of vampires in feeding frenzies."

All three of them shuddered remembering the Dark Lords sick game of cutting a traitor or enemies hand, spilling their blood and then locking them in a glass room with a coven of hungry vampires, watching from the other side of the glass. They'd had to watch too, all the Death Eaters had. It had made Draco want to be sick and on many occasions Narcissa had had to hide her tears.

"No I don't want you anywhere near them."

"But I go to school with them. It'll look suspicious if I suddenly leave," Draco pointed out and Narcissa nodded in agreement. Lucius hummed to himself as he thought for a moment. Eventually he stood and pulled one of the many ring off of his right hand, all family heirlooms. Taking out his wand he chanted a spell, a golden light wrapping around the ring before being absorbed into the silver and the diamonds. He returned to his seat and took his sons right hand, sliding it onto his middle finger before shrinking it to fit perfectly. "What did you do to it?"

"No vampire will be able to get within five feet of you. That will give you enough time to excape or draw your wand," Lucius answered calmly, "I want you to promise me that you will wear this always Draco."

"I…"

"Draco I can't loose you," Lucius whispered.

"Ok," Draco said, looking down at the ring. It was one he'd always played with as a child, a rose made out of silver and diamonds. And now it had a ward against vampires within it. "I'll wear it. But we might be wrong."

"Better to be safe than sorry."

"I dreamt about Edward last night," Bella said sounding thoroughly embarrassed, as Draco climbed into the cab of her truck the following morning. The only sign of the accident on the red vehicle was a dent towards the back, the only place the van had hit.

"Oh?" Draco asked.

"Yeah…hey what's that?" Bella had noticed the ring.

"My father gave it to me," Draco brushed the matter aside, "So, this dream?"

"I…kissed him," Bella mumbled.

"Ok," Draco said slowly, "Any particular reason why?"

"No," Bella blushed, "In my dream I woke up and he was there and I pulled him onto my bed and kissed him. And then I really woke up and…well I could have sworn he was there but when I turned my light on there was nothing."

"You were still asleep then," Draco said.

"Must have been, but it was really weird," Bella admitted.

"I'll bet it was. Although as far as looks go you have excellent taste," Draco commented, "Um, what are we going to say about the accident?"

"What do you mean?" Bella asked, trying not to sound anxious.

"Edward. He stopped the van," Draco said, "I was there, saw the whole thing. Do we tell everyone about his freaky speed and super strength?"

"I promised not to," Bella said.

"Ok," Draco sat back in his seat.

"You wont tell?" Bella asked.

"Everyone has secrets," Draco shrugged, "His is just slightly bigger than everyone else's." 'No kidding Draco.' He thought to himself, thinking of his family's suspicions. Draco had already come up with a plan to test their theory out. He was going to try and get close to Jasper and would see what the ring did. And luckily today was the biology field trip for both his year and the next year up. Jasper and Alice took biology.

They parked up at the school and Draco wandered over to the teacher collecting the permission slips while Bella stayed at the van, watching the world around her for a few moments. Mike went over and said something to her but Draco was too busy looking out for Jasper to really care. The Cullens were getting on he other bus, great. He'd have to try it out later. He saved a seat for Bella and he asked what Mike had wanted.

"Oh, he asked me to the prom."

"What did you say?" Draco asked.

"No in the nicest way possible, I'm going out of town that weekend to stay with my mum. Then I told him he should ask Jessica," Bella answered and they both turned around to see Jessica flirting quite outrageously with their friend.

"Good choice," Draco nodded.

"Yeah."

The trip was a tiny bit boring for Draco who didn't really know what most of it was about. He got some of it but the technical sciency terms, nope, straight over his head. He saw Bella once again talking to Edward and left them to it, looking around for Jasper. He was a few students behind in the line, talking quietly with his sister. Pretending his shoelace was undone Draco crouched down and waited.

"What the…?" he heard Jasper's voice and discretely looked back at them. They were both stood perfectly still and would have seemed to be merely pausing to anyone else. He however noticed the way their hands seemed to be pressing against the air before them as if it were a wall.

'Oh Merlin's beard they are vampires!'

Ahead in the line of students Edward turned to look at him in shock.

A/N Before any of you review to say 'why hasn't Edward heard his thoughts before?' there is a reason that will be explained later!

A/N 2 Hope you liked it, not too much script this time but I warn you, next chapter will have script in it.
