(U)Chapter Three(U)

A sudden and uncontrollable fear flooded through Draco's mind and his carefully constructed shields dropped. He began to hyperventilate as he heard the screams of the people in the glass cage again, echoing around mind. The trembling began as he stood and stared at Jasper who looked like he was in even more pain than before. Alice however looked at him with unseeing eyes for a moment before stepping aside, pulling Jasper with her and giving Draco the exit he needed.

He ran as fast as he could, uncaring if anyone saw him or worried about him. Sobs fell from his lips as he pulled at his hair, trying to stop the screams in his memories, trying to control them again. He fell to his knees by one of the buses, his whole body shaking violently. It took him fifteen minutes to get his control back and when he did he didn't move, his thoughts now filled with the Cullen family.

His test had confirmed it. They were vampires.

What were they doing in High School?

He heard the door to the greenhouse open and he stood, brushing himself off and wiping away the remnants of his tears, not wanting anyone to see that he had been crying like a baby. Leaning against the bus he looked out for Bella and found her talking to Edward, the vampire. As they got closer he was able to hear what they were saying,

"Bella, we shouldn't be friends."

"You really should have figured that out a little earlier. I mean, why didn't you just let the van crush me and save yourself all this regret?"

"What, you think I regret saving you?"

"I can see that you do. I just…I don't know why."

"You don't know anything."

And that was the understatement of the century. A sudden fear filled Draco then, not fear of the vampires or fear for himself, fear for Bella. The unprotected and innocent muggle who was quite obviously falling for a cold blooded killer.

Did he tell her?

No.

But he would have to find a way to keep them apart. For her own good.

He made to interrupt them but Alice Cullen stepped between them before he could even move, smiling first at Bella and then over her shoulder at Draco.

"Hi. Um are you gonna be riding with us?"

"No our bus is full," this was Edward and after he spoke he hit the door and the driver, who must have seen the whole thing with Draco as he was looking at him worriedly, opened the door obediently. Edward climbed aboard quickly, followed by Alice. Jasper paused however, frowning over at Draco.

"Bella," Draco called out to his muggle friend, "Come on." She walked over to him, away from the deadly beings and Jasper finally climbed up onto his bus. "What did the vam-Edward want?"

"To talk about the accident," Bella said softly as they climbed up onto the bus and took their seats, "He called it an adrenalin rush."

"Believable," Draco muttered.

"Yeah. I'm gonna get to the bottom of this," Bella muttered.

"Maybe we should just leave it," Draco said softly.

"No. I need to know. I want to know," Bella said strongly, "Hey where'd you disappear to earlier?" Draco quickly ran through plausible excuses,

"I started feeling a little light headed, the heat and the smell I guess. Needed some air," he told her, "Did I miss anything good?"

"No. Compost and me and Edward almost having a normal conversation."

"Oh. Ok."

Draco sat on his bed, surrounded by open textbooks as he tried to write his History essay. History was the one lesson he was finding ok; history was history and as long as you could remember the dates and places and stuff you were ok. But tonight all he could think about was the fact that he'd confirmed his parent's theory…and that Bella was in danger. He sighed and tried to focus on a battle of the American Civil War, the name of which had escaped him at that particular moment.

What a good start to the essay.

Tap. Tap.

Looking over at his window he found an owl patiently staring at him though the glass. He got up and opened the creaking window, letting the bird in. There was a letter in it's beak which when Draco stretched out his hand to the owl, was dropped into his open palm.

"Thank you very much," he told the bird politely, "Would you like something to eat? I don't yet know if there will be a reply." The owl chirped a reply and he went to his desk, pulling open a drawer and taking out the bag of owl treats. He'd always kept some in his room for owls when they delivered him letters and still did now. Good thing too. He spilt a few on the table and the owl flew from where it sat on one of his books to the desk and began to gobble them down. Draco perched on the edge of his bed and opened the letter.

(I) Dear Draco,

It's Harry (and Ron, Hermione and Teddy being nosy) here. Just thought I'd see how you were doing over the water in your new, muggle life. Finding everything ok? Hope mine and Hermione's tips and notes helped (yes she helped out, I lied) and you aren't struggling too much.

How are the nightmares? Ow! Hermione, don't whack me! Sorry Draco, dictator quill, can't write and feed a baby at the same time in the normal way. What Hermione? Tactless? Oh, yeah. Sorry Draco, that was tactless. I just wondered is all. I mean I still get nightmares from the war and they aren't as bad as yours….I'm gonna stop talking about that now.

I know we weren't the best of friends, ok we were mortal enemies for most of our lives but I hope you know if you ever need my help you only have to ask. I want to put the past behind us. Hakuna Matata. Teddy knows what I mean don't you Teddy? Yes, that's right. Disney! Woo! Sorry Draco. But yeah, I'm here to help with muggle things as well as magical things, you have but to ask.

Gotta go. Hope to hear from you ASAP.

Harry (and Ron, Hermione and Teddy)(I)

Draco smiled to himself as he read his once enemies friendly letter. He'd forgotten about Teddy Lupin. Harry had been allowed to care for his Godson after the war as per the little boys parents wishes. But it must be difficult, a reminder of the people you'd lost…not to mention a teenage single parent raising a child. Picking up his notepad he turned the page over and began writing a reply for the owl to take back to the Harry.

(I) Dear Harry (and Ron, Hermione and Teddy),

Did that feel as weird writing my first name as it just did for me? Well never mind. If you must know muggle High School is far more terrifying than anything I've faced…no I'm kidding. It's not too bad. Or at least it wasn't too bad until…well, I'll tell you about that later.

Did you know they say the word like a lot? Really a lot! A normal sentence here has to have the word like in it apparently. Here's an example, 'Like, I'm totally going to the prom, with, like, Steven.' I actually heard that today.

My nightmares haven't stopped but the less said about them the better.

Now the thing I mentioned earlier. You know you said there were no magical signatures here? Yeah, you remember? Well you forgot to check for dark creatures. Mmmhmm. Vampires to be precise. In my High School! Although they are a little strange. Gra-Hermione might be able to help me out with something. Do you know of any reason why a vampires eyes would be amber/golden? Like a werewolves? And before you ask no we confronted them and no they haven't attacked anyone…although there was that supposed animal attack earlier…I'll look into that.

Must go, History Essay on the American Civil War to do.

Draco.(I)

Tearing the page out he folded in and looked around for an envelope, sticking it inside before licking the back and sticking it down. Oh that tasted horrible! Stupid muggle envelope. Writing (I)Harry Potter(I) on the front of the envelope he handed it the owl, happy after eating the many treats, and he/she (Draco couldn't tell) flew out the window with his reply firmly held in it's beak. Closing the window he settled back on the bed, this time grabbing his Ipod and sticking it on his 'Favs' playlist, hoping maybe the music would help him work.

Bella picked him up like always and the day passed slower than usual, Draco unable to stop himself staring at the vampires whenever they were in the same room as him. The ring was on his hand and he figured that if he stuck close to Bella they couldn't get to her either. Lunch came and for the first time that day (not including annoying seating plans) Draco wasn't able to be at her side all the time.

"Hey! La Push baby. You in?" Eric asked Bella as she reached their table first.

"Should I know what that means?" Bella asked, stealing a piece of cucumber from Angela's salad. Draco dropped his bag onto one of the spare seats and joined Bella in frowning at the geeky boy. What on earth was La Push?

"La Push beach down at the Quileute Rez. We're all going tomorrow," Mike supplied the information readily.

"Yeah, there's a big swell coming in," Jessica added.

"And I don't just surf the internet," Eric said, embarrassing himself by standing up on his chair and wobbling about. Draco was sure that actually meant something other than he was an idiot. After all Mike was doing the same thing.

"Eric, you stood up once, and it was a foam board," Jessica said sharply.

"I'm lost," Draco finally admitted.

"Surfing," Mike said.

"Still lost," Draco said.

"You've never been surfing?" Jessica asked in apparent shock.

"Er no, what is it?" Draco asked.

"Don't they have surfing in England?" Eric asked.

"Probably but I never…"

"Surfing is a sport, you ride waves on a surf board," Mike explained.

"Oh," Draco mumbled, "Ok." That sounded a little…boring.

"I can't believe you've never heard of surfing," Mike snorted, "Did you live in a cave or something back in England?"

"Or something. I've never been to the beach," Draco admitted.

"You've never been to the beach?" Jessica asked in shock, "Well then you have to come, no choice. Going to the beach is…is compulsory!"

"Ok," Draco said slowly, "But no surfing."

"No, but there's whale watching, too. You should definitely come with us. But you don't have to, either of you," Angela shot a look at Jessica clearly telling her she had been too bossy, "It's your choice."

"No it's ok, I'll come," Draco said with a smile. He hadn't hung out with the others yet, not outside of school anyway; maybe he'd be able to learn something from them. Like muggle things and local things.

"La Push, baby. It's La Push," Eric said to Bella who was still undecided.

"Ok, I'll go if you stop saying that, ok?" Bella laughed softly before heading off to the salad bar, leaving the table laughing at Eric,

"Seriously dude, it's creepy man," Mike said to the geeky teen as Draco headed towards the other queue, wanting to get his own meal. As he was trying to decide on fries or curly fries (an agonising choice as he had found he loved both) he noticed Edward making his way towards Bella.

"No," he breathed. He wasn't there to protect her if something went wrong. But as he watched Edward seemed to be…well nice. Nicer than he thought.

"Fries or curly fries?" the woman behind the counter asked him, forcing him to look away from the talking couple.

"Um, Curly," he decided quickly, taking the paper plate thing from her and putting it on his tray. He grabbed a bottle of water and went to the till, paying for his lunch. His lunch almost ended up on the floor as he paid more attention to Bella and Edward than where he was going on his way back to the table.

"Watch it Draco," Jessica said as he bumped into her.

"Sorry, just wondered what they were talking about," he said, nodding to Edward and Bella. The girls giggled and immediately started discussing theories of what the conversation could be about, silly things like Bella's hair or clothes.

Draco doubted that was what it was about, judging by the pairs serious looks.

"So why didn't you go to the beach back home?" Eric asked Draco.

"No beaches near my house," Draco shrugged, looking away from Bella with difficulty. She had no idea what she was talking to, what danger she was in, "We lived in the countryside."

"Oh. Nice house?" Angela asked. This was actually the first time anyone had asked him about it, his old life.

"Um, yeah," Draco admitted awkwardly, "It was nice."

"How nice?" Jessica asked.

"Er," Draco mumbled, "Very nice."

"So you are rich," Jessica said, "I mean your clothes and stuff, they're all really nice and so I always thought…"

"Yes my family has some money," Draco said quietly, "But money isn't everything you know."

"Yeah I know," Jessica obviously didn't agree, "How big was your house."

"It had fourteen bedrooms, that alone should tell you how big it was," Draco said shortly, only slightly enjoying the gob smacked expressions on their faces. He turned and saw that Bella was making her way back to the table. "Hey, what did you two talk about?"

"Nothing much," Bella shrugged, "Stupid stuff." He raised his eyebrow inm that oh so Malfoy way as she sat next to him. "I'll tell you later," she whispered before biting into her apple, "So did I miss anything?2

"Yeah! Draco's family is stinking rich!" Jessica cried loudly, "So if it had fourteen bedrooms how many bathrooms did it have?"

"Jess," Angela scolded softly.

"I'd rather not talk about it. It doesn't matter," Draco mumbled.

"Sure it does…"

"No. It doesn't," Draco said firmly, giving the American Gossip Queen the 'look' and she finally dropped the subject of his wealth. "So how are we getting to this beach tomorrow?"

"Tyler's van," Mike said.

"And we were hoping Bella's truck," Jessica admitted.

"Oh so it's me you want, it's my truck," Bella laughed.

"No! Well yeah, slightly," the other girl laughed.

"S'Ok. I get it," Bella chuckled.

"So what did you two really talk about?" Draco asked as Bella started the trucked engine, "At lunch."

"He asked me for my theories, on why he's got all those powers," Bella admitted, "And I told him."

"What?" Draco asked. Had she guessed too?

"Well, Kryptonite and radioactive spiders," Bella mumbled.

"Huh?" Draco asked loudly.

"Superman and Spiderman," she explained.

"Am I meant to know what they are?" Draco asked.

"Their fictional super heroes," Bella giggled, "You don't know much about America do you? Most people grew up reading the Superman comics and watching the movies. You've never even seen the movies?"

"No," Draco said, "So what did he say?"

"He," Bella paused, "He said he was the bad guy. Not the superhero."

"Oh," Draco mumbled, wanting to confirm that yes, Edward and his family were all very much the bad guys. But he didn't. He couldn't expose her to the magical world. For one he'd get into serious trouble and two she'd be obliviated and forget all about it anyway. She had to figure it out on her own, if she could.

"But I don't think he is," Bella admitted, "The way he acts, it's all a mask to stop people getting too close to him. That's all. He saved me from the truck. If he was the bad guy why did he save me?"

"Dunno," Draco bit his lip.

"And so after that I kinda invited him to the beach," Bella continued.

"What did he say?" Draco asked.

"Well, he seemed to be ok with the idea until he found out which beach," Bella explained, "And then he got a little weird, which with him isn't really a little weird because he's always changing moods at the drop of a hat, and said that the beach was a little crowded."

"Is it?" Draco asked.

"I dunno, I didn't ask the others. But after that he just left," Bella finished, "So you've really never heard of surfing before?"

"No," Draco said, "Embarrassing right. But I went to private boarding school and we didn't do surfing or anything like that." No, we played Quidditch. "What are you going to wear?"

"Something warm," Bella answered.

"Yeah, probably wise eh?" Draco asked with a chuckle. The truck pulled up across his drive and she killed the engine. "Want to come in for a bit?"

"Sure," Bella agreed. They hopped out and headed inside, immediately smelling something delicious coming from the kitchen. Narcissa had discovered early on that she had a tiny passion for cooking and had been honing her talents in the kitchen for the last few weeks, experimenting and getting rather good.

"Mother? I'm home and Bella's staying for a bit," Draco called out as ever.

"Alright, I'm just baking some cookies. I'll bring some up when they're done," Narcissa called out happily from the kitchen. Draco and Bella disappeared up to his bedroom, Draco throwing his school bag into the corner.

"So tell me more about Superman…"

Getting up the next morning Draco dressed warmly like Bella had suggested, toying with the idea of casting a warming spell on his clothes. But the others wouldn't have that and so he decided to go all out muggle like them. Pulling a hat on for the first time since that last winter he'd had at Hogwarts he looked at himself in the mirror. Yep, even with all those layers on he still looked good.

"Wow I'm vain," he laughed to himself. Two beeps came from outside, signalling that Bella was here and so grabbing his bag, filled with food and drink and also a book he was reading for fun he made his way down the stairs.

"Have fun Draco," Narcissa said brightly, hugging him at the door, "And don't get too cold out there."

"I won't," Draco smiled at her.

"Have you got your ring on?" Lucius asked from behind him.

"Dad, they won't be there," Draco said quickly, subconsciously using both the American term and an American accent. "I'll see you later." He opened the door and practically skipped down the steps to Bella's truck. There were two surfboards tied to the back and Jessica was in the cab with Bella.

"It's gonna be a squish, everyone else is in Tyler's van," Bella told him as he walked to the passenger door.

"That's ok," Draco said, sliding in. His thigh was pressed against Jessica's and despite the fact that she knew he was gay she smiled at him flirtatiously. Jessica gave directions to Bella the whole way, in between random talking of course. Jessica was always talking. In that was she was quite a bit like his lab partner. Bella made the mistake of telling her she invited Edward but he declined. She would not shut up about that and Draco knew that at some point today she would tell everyone else.

They arrived at the beach and it was quite busy with lots of mad people walking around in just wetsuits despite the fact that it was absolutely freezing! As the mad ones among them got into their wetsuits the others all perched in the back of Tyler's van, huddling together for warmth.

"Is it always this cold?" Bella asked.

"Pretty much," Angela said as she wrapped a blanket around her shoulders. As they say together watching the world go by three teens with long black hair approached, one calling out cheerfully to Bella.

"Hi, Jacob. Guys, this is Jacob," Bella introduced him to everyone and the moment he smiled Draco realised he was getting a very similar feeling about them that he got about the Cullens. It wasn't anywhere near as strong but still…could they not get a break?

"Hey guys, how you doing?" Jacob asked, obviously a very friendly guy.

"Hi," everyone but Bella replied, even Draco. Bella patted the tiny bit of van left between her and Draco and Jacob somehow managed to squeeze his rather large frame (large in a good way mind you) between them.

"What are you, like, stalking me?" Bella asked.

"You're on my Rez, remember?" Jacob scoffed with a smile, "Are you surfing?" Everyone smiled as they remembered various moments of Bella's clumsiness; steps, ice, thin air…you name it, she could trip over it.

"Definitely not," Bella answered, handing him one of the strange red sweets that tasted of strawberries.

"Thanks."

"You guys should keep Bella company. Her date bailed," Jessica said.

"What date?" Eric asked, sounding panicked.

"She invited Edward," Jessica giggled.

"To be polite, that's it," Bella defended herself.

"I think it's nice she invited him. Nobody ever does," Angela said softly.

"Yeah, 'cause Cullens a freak," Mike scoffed.

"You have no idea," Draco muttered at the same time as one of Jacob's friends speaking up loudly,

"You got that right."

"You guys know him?" Bella asked. The two looked at each other briefly before the other boy answered bluntly,

"The Cullens don't come here."

An awkward silence fell over the group, broken only by the brave surfers heading off to the freezing cold water. Draco literally started to twiddle his thumbs after that as he waited for the conversation to continue…

"Hey wanna go for a walk?" Jacob suggested suddenly, looking only at Bella.

"Sure," Bella nodded. His friends rolled their eyes at him and walked off on their own whilst Angela was thoroughly absorbed in watching the others hesitating in front of the water.

"Mind if I come?" Draco asked and the look that Jacob gave him told him that yes he did seriously mind but Bella was already saying,

"Sure."

Jacob manoeuvred himself as they set off so that he was between the two and as close as could be to Bella without the girl noticing it. Draco sniggered softly, it seemed that Bella literally attracted every male she met except him. And this one was like a lovesick puppy!

"What did your friends mean about, you know, 'The Cullens don't come here'?" Bella asked after they'd walked a little way down the long beach.

"You caught that, huh?" Jacob asked.

"A deaf man would have caught that," Draco pointed out, "Subtlety is not you're friends strong point." Jacob looked at his feet awkwardly,

"I'm not really supposed to say anything about it."

"Hey, we can keep a secret," Bella said, "Can't we Draco."

"Sure," Draco agreed, intrigued.

"You're names Draco?" Jacob asked with a smirk, "Seriously."

"Yes."

"Right," Jacob muttered, turning back to Bella, "Well, really, it's just like an old scary story." Draco had heard many a scary story, had lived through them too.

"Well, I want to know," Bella said.

"Ok, did you know Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?" Jacob asked and Draco went a little cold inside, begging to whatever was in control of the universe, 'Not werewolves, please, please, please not werewolves. Vampires are bad enough but werewolves?'

"What? Like, wolves?" Bella had responded out loud as Draco thought.

"Yeah," Jacob laughed nervously.

"Like, real wolves?" Bella asked, just wanting to be sure.

"Well, that's the legend of our tribe," Jacob answered.

"Ok. So what's the story about the Cullens?" Bella asked.

"Well they're supposedly descended from this, like, enemy clan," Jacob explained slowly. Draco resisted the urge to say 'No kidding', if they were werewolves they would hate vampires more than anything. It was in their blood. "My great grandfather, the chief, found them hunting on our land. But they claimed to be something different, so we made a treaty with them."

"Something different," Draco muttered to himself, wondering what on earth that could possibly mean when dealing with Vampires.

"If they promised to stay of Quileute lands then we wouldn't expose what they really were to the pale faces," he nodded to Bella making it very clear he meant her and she smiled softly before saying,

"I thought they just moved here."

"They did?" Draco asked.

"Jessica said remember," Bella said to him.

"Or maybe they just moved back," Jacob said with a wicked grin.

"Right," Bella said slowly. All three of them jumped as Angela screamed loudly, running past them with Eric chasing her, throwing a long bit of sea weed at her and laughing. Apparently she thought it was a snake. "Well, what are they really?" Bella asked once they were pretty much alone once more.

"It's just a story Bella," Jacob tried to laugh it off but Draco could see he already knew he'd said too much, "Come on, let's go."

As they walked back the way they came, towards the vehicles, Draco sent one final prayer to whoever was listening,

'Please, not werewolves!"

A/N I could not stop writing this! Seriously, meant to get so much done today and did nothing but work on this. Whoops! Never mind. Hope you liked it (despite the script usage. Lol.)
