Chapter 1

Annalise's Pov

My sister and I came from a prestige and strict family, my Dad was high up in the corporate world and my Mother was an angel in the ground so it was just us three. Since I was young enough to remember things, my Dad was never there for my sister and I. He loved his job more then his own daughters, he never spent a vacation with us or even had a decent meal with us so the only family Carrine and I have is each other. But I could never bring myself to hate that man, he gave us a home and food on our plate. It would be wrong to have such anger and hatred for people that do that for you, especially if their family.

That however, changed last week. He did something that I could never forgive him for and if he wasn't family then I would have slapped him. Carrine, my sweet little sister had her freedom taken away from her and was forced into an arranged marriage so that our father could merge his company with another company. We have never even met the man that Carrine was to marry, we don't know if he's ugly or a jerk except that he's 17 years of age. And that right there is the reason that I couldn't marry the guy, I was too old and Carrine was the right age but if I could then I would have taken her place. She shouldn't be forced to marry someone she doesn't love, my father never loved my mother and it led to my mother's death.

My father constantly cheated on my Mother and because she couldn't handle it, she chose death as an escape. I learned from her mistake and promised myself to never let Carrine or I be in that kind of situation but I failed and now Carrine is arranged to be married. When we first learned of it, she was distraught and she couldn't even speak, but me on the other hand. I blew up at our father...

Flashback

"How could you!" I screamed at him. "How could you be so selfish?!"

"It's for the best. Our company will be more successful if we merge it with a larger one." He said calmly, clearly trying not to get angered.

"Our company! No Dad! It's your company! Not ours! I can't believe you would sell your daughter just for money!" I shouted, rage was blinding me. "Your despicable!"

"Do not speak to me like that! I am you're father!" He remarked and grabbed hold of my wrist harshly. It was going to leave a bruise.

"NO! You are not my father! I have no father!" I spat.

Carrine whimpered from behind me. "Sister, stop. It's okay..."

I whipped around to look at her. "How could you say that! He's taking away your freedom."

She sobbed at my remark and ran out the room...

Flashback End.

I fought with my father for her freedom but he was persistent on it and there was nothing we could do, Carrine is still a child in the law's eyes so she has to obey our father. The only thing I could do for her now is to take her away from that place we called home for 3 weeks before she was to be married on her sixteenth birthday.

Flashback

"Please let me take her on a vacation for a month. Three weeks only." I pleaded with him a few days later after our argument.

"No. She is to be here and prepare for the wedding. She also needs to be taught of the duties of a wife so that she won't dishonor us." Father stated as he walked down the steps to his limo. He was going to his company again.

I grabbed the sleeve of his arm. "Please Father. I will teach her what she needs to know! Please! I want her to have what little freedom she has before she's imprisoned in a loveless marriage!"

He stopped and contemplated for a moment. "Fine. But have her back here in time for the wedding or I will send people to find you. Don't think that you can escape me Anna. I'll always be able to find you."

"Yes Father. Thank you Father." I swallowed hard. He scared me with his promise of capture if I didn't follow orders and I knew full well that he would always know where I am.

I ran back into the mansion and to Carrine's room where she sobbed silently. "Carrine?" I whispered as I sat next to her and embraced her.

"Sister. What am I to do.?" She whimpered heartbrokenly.

"Pack your bags. I'm going to take you to La Push." I smiled.

"Really?" She said as her eyes widened.

"Yep. It's only for 3 weeks though. I'm sorry I can't do more for you." I smiled sadly.

She hugged me. "It's alright Sister. I know I can't escape. Let's just have as much fun as we can kay?"

"Yeah, but promise me you won't tell anyone of your arranged marriage, it's best if no one knows." I said.

"I promise, it's not like it's anyone's business to know." She replied.

End Flashback.

And here we are in the little town of La Push. We were born here in this small reservation, we weren't Quileute though but our ancestors were so we were permitted to live here. Our house was still here, we never sold it because of the memories it held, good memories. My father and mother got married here and had us, our childhood was happy as can be that is until father decided to be a businessman and moved us to the city. It felt amazing to be here again, the warmth of home was just amazing.

"Are you ready Anna?" Carrine asked as we slipped on our shoes.

We are going to the grocery store today to buy groceries. "Yeah. Let's go." I said as we headed out the door.

Then we climbed in my blue BMW and speeded off to the only grocery store in La Push, Sue Clearwater's store. I knew her as a small child, I knew most of the elderly people here and I was pretty sure they probably don't remember me. I parked my car in the lot and headed into the store with Carrine beside me. We pushed the cart down each aisle and picked up as many food as we could get to last us for the week at the very least. After that we went to the checkout line. Standing there is a very large, tall, dark, and handsome boy who looked to be my age. He stood behind the counter and his eyes were fixated on Carrine, he had a look of shock and surprise on his face, like it was the first time he had seen a girl or something.

"H-H-Hello." He stuttered, he eyes still on Carrine.

She smiled at him and blushed. "Hi. Can you check us out...I mean...check out the groceries?"

I smiled at the cuteness of it all, this was what I wanted Carrine to experience. The blossoming of a possible relationship. I stood back and let her interact with him, seeing as he metaphorically only sees her and not me. If I could right now, I'd laugh but I didn't want to ruin the moment for them. Darn, where's a camera when you need one?

"Uh sure." He stuttered again and began to check out the food. "What's your name?" He asked her.

"Carrine. What's yours?" She replied. Apparently she didn't see me either. Oh young love...

"Seth. Seth Clearwater." He smiled at her adoringly. It's definitely love at first sight.

I watched their conversation go on for about another five minutes before Seth had checked out every item and I had to interrupt them to pay for the food. I silently swiped my American express card and took my bagged items to the car while Carrine and Seth were in their own world. When the bags were in the car I got in the driver seat and waited for Carrine to come out. It took her about ten minutes before she got in the car with a huge smile on her face and a deep blush on her cheeks.

"Sooooo. What's with the smile?" I teased.

"Nothing." She blushed harder. as she fidgeted with a tiny piece of paper in her hands. "H-He gave me his number."

"Oh my! He likes you." I chuckled. "Are you going to call him?"

"No, I don't think so." She muttered as she slipped the paper in her jacket pocket.

"Honey, it's alright if you want to call him and go on a few dates. Think of it as a summer romance and experience as much as you can." I said as we sped down the road.

"But it will hurt when I have to leave. He will hurt and I will hurt. I don't want that Sis." She replied.

"It will hurt but in the end you won't leave with any regrets. Mom didn't get to fall in love and she regretted it every day of her life. She told me that and she told me to love as much as possible." I said, a tear brimming my eye.

"Maybe she's right. I think I'll do it. I'll call Seth tonight and ask him on a date." Carrine smiled cheerfully.

"It's your choice honey, I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to. But I am going to force you to go see Billy. You remember him right?" I asked.

She giggled. "It wouldn't be force if I chose to go too. I remember Uncle Billy but not very clearly, I do remember that he loved us very much though." She smiled.

The car pulled up to Billy's house, it was a block away from mine and it looked the same way it use too, brown and old but with an added garage on the side. The memories of this house were still clear in my mind. We walked up to the door and knocked, there was a squeal of wheels before it opened to reveal the man I call my Uncle. He looked older but his features were still the same and he was still in his wheelchair, he will always be condemed to it.

"Hey Uncle Billy I missed you!" I gave a squeal of my own and leaned down to hug him and kiss him on the cheek.

"Awe. Save some for me too!" Carrine giggled and gave Billy a hug of her own.

"Anna? Carrine? Is it really you?" He whispered, his voice quivered. "It's been so long and both of you have grown up so beautifully."

"It's really us Uncle Billy. We missed you so much." I smiled at him sadly as he led us into his home.

"Gosh. I can still remember the day that you girls would cling to my legs and beg me to take you up the mountains to find wild animals to take home." He reminisced as we sat down on his couch.

"I don't remember that." I quirked. "I do remember making mud pies with Jacob and a girl named...Bella?"

"Ah yes I remember that day. Jacob was only two and you and Bella were four, Carrine you weren't even born then. It was the same day your family left the reservation." He said. "And then you came back with little Carrine hiding behind you. She was 5 and you were 10."

We left before Carrine was born and we came back to the reservation alone with mom's ashes when she died, Mom wanted to be buried here where she was born. We were only there for half a day before we left again, Dad didn't want us staying here at the time. He wasn't even there for Mom's burial, he was cold hearted. Carrine met Billy then and she bonded with him immediately and he loved her just as much as she loved him

"Yeah and she loved you the moment she met you. By the way why didn't I see Jacob then?" I puzzled. I thought we would have met seeing as he lived with Billy.

"He was over at Bella's house a lot at the time, the boy was head over heels for her but she paid him no mind though." Billy laughed.

"Where is he anyways? Does he still live with you?" I asked.

"Yeah he does but he's kind of...occupied at the moment. He could be back at any minute." Billy said as he looked at his wrist watch.

Carrine busted out laughing. "Tell me he's not still pining for this Bella girl?"

Billy chuckled. "No no. His hopes of marrying her went down the drain the day she started dating one of his close friends."

"Isn't that kind of insensitive of her? Doing that would be like rubbing dirt in Jacob's face. He must be really hurt." I said feeling bad for the boy.

"They didn't want it to happen that way. When Bella and Paul met it was like love at first sight and from that moment they were bounded to each other. Jacob knew that so now he's happy for the both of them." Billy explained. "But that was months ago so he's gotten over it."

"I guess that's the way the world works I suppose." I smiled. "Well we need to now, it's time for dinner already. I'll come by tomorrow and we'll talk more, is that alright?"

Billy beamed at me. "It is more than alright. But how long are you staying here in La Push?"

"Only three weeks. We're taking a mini vacation." Carrine smiled as we walked towards the door.

"Don't worry Uncle Billy, when we're gone we'll call you every day." I assured him and gave him a hug.

The door chose that moment to fly open and hit me in the arm. The door hit me with so much force that I stumbled back and Carrine had to grab a hold of me before I fell. The pain though was unbelievable, I had to squeeze my eyes shut and bite my lip to not scream or show any pain, but with that kind of pain I know it will leave a very nasty bruise.
