Chapter 1:

Prologue-

The night before I left for my new home with my father Charlie in Forks, I had a dream.

I stood atop a mossy green hill. Below me, a golden light shone upon an open field of daisies and lilacs. The air was so thick with smell I could almost taste its sweet aroma. The trees themselves seemed to be dancing in the wind as the pungent air caressed their leafy branches.

It seemed like hours that I stood there, perfectly content. Then out of the corner of my eye a figure stepped into the light. It was Bella, my sister. But she wasn't alone. Beside her stood a man, so beautiful and perfect that even the trees paused to stare.

The strange mysterious man stroked Bella's pale cheek affectionately. As I watched this, a violent and jealous rage ripped through me. I wished that I was Bella, and that it was my cheek that was being stroked.

I started to run down the mossy hill toward Bella and the beautiful man.

As I was running, the man gently turned Bella so that her back was against him and she was looking at me. Bella's brown eyes were filled with both fear and apology. The look in her eyes rooted me to the ground and I could no longer move toward them.

The man pulled back Bella's long chocolate brown hair away from her neck and bit down on her delicate skin.

Mixed in with my own scream of horror Bella's screams of pain was the long sad howl of a wolf in the distance.

I turned around to still see Renee standing on the sidewalk, Kleenex in hand; her hand moving swiftly up to her face to wipe away the tears. My goodbye with her had been very brief. The goodbye had consisted of a small hug and a peck on the check. I had always known Renee and I had never been very close. We were defiantly not as close as Bella and she were.

I glanced over at Bella and reached over and grabbed her hand reassuringly.

"It'll be fine." I said.

I could tell it pained Bella to leave Renee behind but honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of the crowded city of Phoenix.

"I'm just worried about leaving her." Bella said quietly.

"She'll be just fine without us. Especially now that she's got that new hubbie to entertain her."

Bella just nodded.

Bella and I played cards during our flight to Forks. It was hard to keep all the cards on the pathetic little tables, especially since I get so competitive. Even with my own twin sister.

Finally, when Bella couldn't put up with me beating her so bad, she pulled out her trashed copy of Wuthering Heights and started reading.

Instinctively, I rolled my eyes.

Me and reading really didn't mix. Once, Bella had convinced me to read one of her beloved books but, I just couldn't get myself immersed in them. I would always find my mind wandering after the fifth page or so. Bella just couldn't understand it. Whenever she would nag me about it, I'd just bring up how she despised sports and how she couldn't get into them.

I sighed. Even though Bella and I were like Ying and Yang, we couldn't have gotten along any better. We were both so close; it was more like we were best friends then just twin sisters. And just like best friends we had no secrets from each other, I told her everything and she told me everything there was to tell. Nothing could separate us or keep us apart.

After the plane landed, Bella and I went to pick up our luggage and then we walked towards the sliding glass doors and into the refreshing Seattle air.

It was easy to spot Charlie's police cruiser out of a sea of SUVs and small sports cars. I saw that he was casually leaning against the car with his arms folded crossed his chest. I noticed that he hadn't seen us yet so his eyes were still scanning the crowd for us.

"Dad!" I yelled and waved my arms at him to get his attention.

Charlie instinctively responded to either the word "dad" or my voice and his head snapped up.

A large grin stretched across his face as he saw the two of us approaching him. He stayed put while we continued to walk over to him.

As soon as we reached him. I dropped my stuff and threw myself at him giving him a huge.

I inhaled Charlie's familiar scent of the trees and the outdoors. His handed reached up to stroke my hair and I smiled into his plaid shirt.

"It's good to see you kiddo." He whispered in my ear.

"You too dad."

I held onto him for a few more moments until I reluctantly pulled away from him. I stepped back away from him and picked up my stuff as Bella had a not as warming hug as I had with him.

"I missed you dad." I heard her say quietly.

"I've missed you too, hun."

Bella had always been a momma's girl, but I had always been my daddy's girl. I knew he loved us equally, but he and I just had more in common with each other.

I realized my checks were hurting a little bit from smiling so hard.

"Come on, let's get you girls home." He said after a few moments of silence.

I hauled my suitcase and carry-on into the trunk and helped Bella load her suitcase in. She gave me a thankful smile and opened the door to the back seat.

The two of us sat in back, neither of us wanting to leave the other behind the customary bars that separated the criminal from the cop.

As soon as we hit the highway Charlie spoke up.

"I got you girls a car." He said abruptly.

My eyes widened with surprise. Bella and I had both been saving money to buy a car of our own when we got here in Forks. But now, with the couple thousand dollars I had saved up to buy a car, perhaps I could finally buy that beautiful cell phone that I've been craving. The one and only iPhone. I could here the angels singing in my head as this thought entered my head.

"You did? What kind?" Bella said excitedly, unwillingly pulling me out of my fantasy. I frowned. I was just imaging myself touching the glossy screen for the first time, the phone responding to my every movement. I was in love!

He turned the radio off and swiftly glanced in the rear-view mirror.

"Yeah I did, it's an old Chevrolet Pickup truck."

Bella being the perspective person she is didn't miss the "old part".

"How old?" She asked.

Charlie cleared his throat.

"Umm… it was made in the 1950's, I think."

Again he glanced in the mirror to see our reactions.

"Cool!" I said sincerely to him. With my new phone, I could make that ol' truck look like a brand new Porsche.

I glanced over at Bella. I hoped that she realized the doors that Charlie had just opened for us. An iPhone for me and a... Well, actually, I really don't know what Bella would do with the money. Probably be responsible and save it.

"Thanks Ch- dad. That was really sweet of you."

A small giggle escaped me when I heard that Bella almost called our dad by his real name.

She shot me a glare which within moments turned into a smile.

Charlie looked very pleased with himself. He was probably thanking God that he didn't have two very stuck up girls how wanted brand new Mercedes with leather interior and a six C-D changer installed in it.

Bella and I were talking to Charlie about our lives back in Phoenix. This included school, the city, sports, and Phil (which for the moment was a little awkward). He was intently listening to stuff he probably already knew, but still paid attention.

The conversation had veered to sports and Bella instantly quieted down, asking a question here and there but was otherwise silent. Guiltily, I had almost forgotten her presence when I was reminded by a little nudge I received from her. Pulling myself away from the conversation, I glanced over at her.

"Look." She said and she turned her attention back to the window.

I did what I was told and looked out the window.

I saw the steady stream of green trees go past us as the car made its way down the wet and winding road. Even as a little girl, I always felt refreshed and peaceful when I was here. And these refreshed and peaceful states of mind were probably due to the fact that I lived in the busy and energetic city of Phoniex. A city that didn't have a peaceful moment for me to bask in, much less anything green. Even now, as I'm older, my love for the rain, the trees, and the softness of the wind of Forks, hasn't lessened one bit.

Yet as I looked out the window, I sensed something sinister and darker that was obscuring our arrival home. It was as if a dark cloud was looming over the horizon, unconsciously stalking our every move. I couldn't place my finger on it, but this foreboding feeling felt out of this world, unnatural.

I inhaled a deep breath of fresh Forks air until my lungs almost burst with oxygen.

Yes, I thought, something is very different. And the face of the beautiful man in my dream consumed my thoughts.
