Flashback to Rosenhein, Germany
Carlisle POV
"Samantha! Get down here! Are you ready for school?" I gathered my things for work, and paused at the front door, waiting patiently for my daughter to come downstairs.
"Coming dad!" She yelled, swinging her backpack over her shoulder and smiling at me as she reached the bottom of the stairs. God, she looked so much like Maria.
As we drove towards her private school, Samantha seemed to remember something, and she turned to me.
"Why don't I have a mother?"

Present Day, Forks, WA
It had been about 170 years since that happened. I though about it as I sat in my large bad, reflecting on what my life could have been like. Just then, my foster mom pulled me back into reality.
"Sam, are you ready yet?" She asked me.
"Shit," I muttered as I looked at my alarm clock. It read 7:15.
I didn't even need an alarm, I was a vampire and didn't sleep. But my foster mom couldn't know that.
"Coming!" I yelled down to her. Getting ready at vampire speed, soon enough, I said goodbye to my mother and sped away in my Mercedes.
Parking my care in the school parking lot of Forks High School, I couldn't help but to stifle a laugh. Every single one of the cars was cheap. It was obvious wealth wasn't common around here.
Although as I began to walk towards the school, I noticed a bright red Mercedes convertible, and a shiny silver Volvo parked next to eachother.
It wasn't the cars driving that surprised me, it was the drivers looking back at me.
