Returning to Forks chapter one
Book Two of the Twins of Night and Day
"Really, Chief Swan, I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it," a girl with long dark hair said, clutching her arm to her chest like it was broken or sprained. "They just don't like us, I guess. We should have known better than to have impeded on their land. It's our fault, really."
"Still, to have us called out means a report to be filed," police chief Charlie Swan sighed, patting the girl on the shoulder gently. "Those boys are just a bunch of rowdy idiots sometimes; don't pay any attention to them."
"Thank you," she smiled charmingly, flashing a row of perfect white teeth.
"Anna, you're being too nice to them." the girl next to her huffed, her short blond hair ruffled and wild. She wiped her mouth with the back of her tightly closed fist, clearly agitated and glaring at the group of red-skinned boys talking to the other officer at the cruiser. "Crazy ass sons a—"
"Jenna!" the first girl quickly clapped her good hand over the other's mouth. "Sorry about that. My cousin, Jenna, isn't as nice as she could be. She's actually really easy to get angry."
"It's okay, thank you, girl," he nodded his head. "I hope you don't judge of all of us here in Forks by what these boys have done. The people here are good people; the boys in town aren't as rowdy as these boys are."
"Don't worry, we understand. Thank you for being so nice to us, our uncle will be here soon." The dark haired one, Anna, nodded as well.
"Well, this is a hearty welcome back to Forks now, isn't it?" the girl named Jenna whispered as the police chief walked back towards the cruiser.
"Hush, don't say anything till we get back to the house," Anna growled quietly. A tall dark haired young man stepped out of an expensive car near the tree line and jogged up to him, a slightly younger-looking boy with sandy brown hair fallowed him.
"What's the deal now?" the older one asked, checking over each girl with a quick sweeping look. "Did you two get into a fight already?"
"It wasn't our fault; the evil little puppies were the ones that attacked us." Jenna whined, grabbing and hanging off his arm. "Uncle Andy, I don't like this, why'd you move us out here?"
"We need a visit to a more rural area, the big cities are clearly affecting you poor girls." the boy sighed. "Honestly, Jenna, what would mom say?"
"Yeah, yeah, shut it, Cal," Jenna hissed.
"Do I have to talk to the officer?" Andy asked.
"I don't think so, we pretty much covered everything." Anna yawned and rubbed her arm. "Can't we just go home?"
"I guess so, let's go," the troupe of four walked back to the car, Jenna glared over her shoulder and bared her teeth at the boys. One of them glowered back at her.
Jeza, Roz, Caleb, and Alex were a highly trained group of assassin vampires. For the second time in their career, they had been assigned the job of investigating rather than killing. The first involved the 'royal family' of all vampires had asked them to investigate a new member of one of the largest families of vampires in existence. The end had resulted in a sort of barely scrapping by. This second time, however, they had been asked to investigate an uprising of werewolves in the little Washington town of Forks.
Roz and Jeza had been to visit these wolves once already in Forks, but only to ask questions about the young vampire they had been hired to investigate. Now returning, they had to create new aliases and enroll at school. Somehow they had to be able to get new information about these wolf-boys, but that was much easier said than done…even for the assassin vampire twins.
The girls made up their aliases with ease, an easy thing after years and years of practice. And then the hard part came. Getting to know the animal they had to collect information on.
"You really got into a fight with those huge Quileute boys?" a boy from their first class asked as he walked them to their second class, apparently his name was Brian. A few of the boys had gone out of their way to do things like that to the new girls.
"My cousin did and kind of dragged me in," Anna sighed, tugging carefully at the sling on her arm. Jenna glanced at her irritably her bruised jaw working in a silent fit of anger.
"It wasn't my fault," she said, looking over at another one of the boys. "I think they're just evil. You aren't friends with any of them, are you, Shawn?"
He was quick to snake his head. "Nope, I don't have any friends down there."
"So what are you two moving out here for?" Brian asked, trying girls' attention back on him.
"My dad wanted me and my brother to get away from the city life. It's apparently a bad influence on us." Jenna sounded like she enjoyed the influence the city life had on her and she was quiet upset that she had to move. "Calvin and I were sent to live with our uncle, which is the only good thing about all this. My uncle Andy is the best uncle in the whole world!"
"I've already been living with Andy." Anna looked down. "My mom had too much trouble raising a teenager like me so she ditched at my uncle's when I was fourteen. He agreed to look after Jenna and Calvin when their dad decided to move them out of the city."
"Family drama, very complicated. It must suck," a third boy, apparently named Aaron, shook his head. "You know, if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be more than willing to lend you mine."
The boys scowled and the girls both giggled evilly. "That's okay, I think I'm covered, I have a big brother for a reason."
Calvin turned away from the boys' glares as they silently wished they could take the place of the 'big brother' role if only just for the sake of getting closer to the girls.
Jenna, Anna, and Calvin all got through the day with very minor verbal attacks and glares from the other members of their sexes. The girls in Forks High School totally exiled the new girls, and the boys were all trying not to be too openly mean to Calvin, and they tried to think well of Andy even though they didn't like the fact that the good uncle of their new friends was so young. Parts of their story seemed a bit far fetched but they didn't question it or think too much on it. After all, who wouldn't believe the word of people who looked so unbelievably beautiful?
"Long day?" Uncle Andy asked, as the three new students piled into his flashy little car.
"Ugh, I hate wearing power make-up, it's so girly. I hate it." Jenna flipped down the mirror and tapped at the fake bruise on her chin so not to smudge it or wipe it off.
"Everyone was either really nice or really mean. Quite normal, you know. The usual, really, we should have maybe come up with a better story though, I though." Anna sighed, itching at the arm in the sling.
"So where can we turn back into ourselves?" Calvin asked, scratching his head.
"Here," Andy said shortly as he turned down onto the long curving driveway that had once been the driveway to the Cullens family's gorgeous home. All pretenses evaporated and the uncle, nieces, and nephew dissolved into the assassin team of the Night and Day persona.
Alex stretched himself back out of his Andy façade and reached out to drape an arm over Jeza who seemed to be shaking herself free of the much more city-toughened Jenna. Anna had disappeared as Roz dropped her head onto Caleb's shoulder and immediately he was snapped free of the Calvin mask. Roz ripped her useless sling off her arm and threw it onto the floor under Alex's seat. Jeza rubbed vigorously at the purple eye shadow that was feigning a bruise, resulting in a very red spot with a smear of make-up.
The girls wished they hadn't decided to go straight to the reservation. They had tested the boundaries of their new charges and found that they had very little if any footing with them. The only good thing to have come out of the minor fight was they saw clearly where they stood with the Quileute boys. Also, they got to get on the good side of the police chief, which would come in handy in case they slipped up and accidentally killed one of the townspeople. The drawback to being a vampire in a small town was that it stood out if someone went missing, which meant it was much more necessary for them to keep strict control.
So welcome back to the girls right??? It took me long enough to get back to them…I know, I'm sorry. I promised you the back story and then don't fallow through, but do you know how secretive those stupid girls are of their past! It's ridiculous!
Anyway, the girls are back in Forks…oh drama, drama, drama!! Anyway, you know the drill, if you read, I demand a review!!
