Chapter 1 – Vacation

"It looks like a desert or something" Stated Bella Swan to the car in general, looking out the window at the vast wheat field before her, as the car zoomed down the highway. "Mmmm"

Said her mother, Renee, looking at the map intently, not sure what she was agreeing to. "It should be coming up soon"

Renee said, looking from the map to the window, then back to the map again.

"What was the house number again?"

Asked Charlie, Bella's father, craning his neck to see the tiny little signs at the end of each driveway and their numbers.

"2795"

Said Renee, glancing at the map again. She turned around to look at Bella, who had quietly pulled out her book (again) and was reading intently, a small furrow in her brow as there always was when she was entirely concentrated.

"For Christ's sake Bella put the book down!"

Said Renee, sounding annoyed

"You've had your head buried in that the whole time-look at the scenery!"

"I was looking before and its pretty similar everywhere"

Said Bella. Renee ignored her, and turned back around to look out the window.

"Its really quite incredible what you can find in your own backyard!"

Renee said excitedly, as if she had forgotten she had made a similar comment minutes beforehand. Bella sighed and leaned her head against the window, the cool glass soothing it. Bella wasn't very optimistic about her parent's vacation choices. She had learned not to get excited about things like pools and sandy beaches, but for things more along the lines of antique shops and museums. Bella wasn't dying for the other-side-of-the-planet type vacation, but something a little more awesome than the price tags in an antique shop would be a welcome change.

This was why, when her mother said

"Here we are!"

In an excited voice, she was surprised to see, at the end of the driveway they had just pulled into, a stall with horses, and chickens running around everywhere.

"They have horses?" Bella thought excitedly. "Are we really staying here?"

Bella asked Renee in awe, excitement edging onto her voice for the first time in hours. "Yes Bella-I told you that you would like it!"

Bella had to bite her tongue. When her mother had first told her a week ago about their plans to stay with family friends she had never met for a month of the summer, out in the country, she wasn't very enthusiastic. Renee had also told her that they had children around Bella's age, which was where Bella really started to dread the stay. Bella was shy, and making friends wasn't exactly her forte.

But this, Bella thought, looking around at the large, beautiful house, and stables in the distance, this could be fun.
