Chapter 1

"Jake, I'm sorry," I whispered but in reality I wasn't. Charlie had raised me to be a coldblooded killer, I never thought about the people I

killed after they were dead. Jacob Black was no different, he was a rich boy with no family and I now had all of his money. It wasn't much, but

Charlie was sure it would pay off the debts he owed to different people. That's my dad by the way, Charlie Swan, he was in his 40's and people

thought he was a respectable man; he wasn't. Renee, my mom, divorced my dad when he started drinking again and took my sister with her,

Charlie got me. I tapped Jacob's head to make sure he was dead before walking away, not glancing back.

My name's Bella Swan. I'm the one who does the dirty work for Charlie, he sees me as nothing more than the girl who does his dirty

work. He told me once that having a pretty daughter paid off when it came to settling his debts.

"Where you been, girl?" Charlie yelled as soon I walked through the door. Charlie and I lived in separate places, I was sent all over the

United States when he had a job for me. Charlie lived in a little old shack, when it rained the place leaked, and part of it was falling down. I set the

envelope of cash on the table, this made him smile and laugh.

"That's everything he had on him," I said sitting down, "More than 2300 dollars in cash, right there in front of you."

"Good job," he grabbed the envelope and went to his room, he kept his safe in there, he didn't trust me enough to leave out in the open.

I guess being in debt can do that to a person, I know that I don't trust many people, I don't even trust him.

"What next chief?"

"Forks, Washington. One Mr. Edward Cullen," he scooted a folder over the table to me, I opened it up and saw Edward Cullen's profile in

front of me. He had brown copper hair and green eyes. "He's 17 years old. Carlisle Cullen is his father."

"THE Carlisle Cullen?" I asked, Charlie nodded. Carlisle Cullen was one of the most successful business men in the United States, he was

like Steve Jobs or some other rich famous person, it doesn't matter who you pick, he was important and he had money.

"I don't need all of his money, just some. Bella, this could clear me up from all the debts. You know what will happen if you mess up,

don't you?" I nodded. I messed things up a lot when I was younger, I had been on this road since I was 7 years old. 7 year old me let something

slip, Charlie's debt had increased because of it, I had been beaten within an inch of my life because of my slip up. I was his daughter, but he didn't

care, I had messed up and his debt had become greater, he never let me forget it.

"I won't mess up," I said getting up. "Did you get me a plane ticket?"

"It's in there, you'll have to register yourself in school though. You better get going, your plane leaves in 2 hours." Charlie grumbled, I

nodded and went outside to my old beat-up truck, I lived 20 minutes away from Charlie and 40 minutes away from the airport. Needless to say, I

was in somewhat of a hurry. I pulled in front of the apartment building I lived in and basically ran inside.

"What's your hurry there girl?" Aro said stepping in front of me, I came to an abrupt stop and rolled my eyes. Aro was the landlord of the

apartments I lived in, I owed him 4 months' rent, and Charlie owed him over 10 grand. I guess being in debt came naturally to Charlie and I.

"I've got a plane to catch."

"You've got rent to pay."

"You don't think I know that? I'm working on it Aro!" I snapped giving him a death glare. "Now, get out of my way."

"You better pay up within the month, tell your old man he needs to pay up too."

"Tell him yourself," I said, he smiled a wicked smile and pinned me up against a wall, his face was close to mine and his breath was

terrible, it smelled as if he hadn't brushed his teeth in months.

"Within the month," he said giving me a slap before letting me go. I waited until he was out of sight before running upstairs to my

apartment and packing a bag, I grabbed all the money I had and tossed it into a bag. I opened the door a crack to make sure Aro wasn't outside my

door before leaving and running back down to my car. I tossed everything into the passenger seat and sped off to the airport.

As I waited for my plane to be called and for them to say that it was time to start boarding, my thoughts went to my mom. She lived in

Forks, Washington with my sister, Jessica. It had been years since I had heard from her, I knew she was disappointed in me, she had wanted a

better life for me; one that didn't involve murder. I wanted to call her and tell her I was coming, but she would know that I was doing something

wrong and that it somehow involved Charlie. No, I was better off on my own, that's how I had learned to survive all of my life, it was the way I

would live the rest of my life. Alone.
