My name is Isabella Marie Swan, or Bella for short. I am sitting here in the car on my way home from the movies with my mom Renee and her fianc- no sorry; let me correct that, her new 'Husband' Phil. My mother is a little bit compulsive like that; it really didn't take long for them to go from dating to married, only half a year or so. Phil isn't that bad of a guy either. He treats my mother great but he is on the road quite a bit. You see, Phil is one of those minor league baseball players so he travels a lot for games and I go from time to time and for other games Renee just stays home with me. I can see it makes her sad but there isn't a lot of choice for her. I'm only 14 years old and being as clumsy as I am I wouldn't last too long on my own.
Phil is driving the car looking in the mirror every once and awhile and my mother was looking out the side window. It was quiet in the car and I was just sitting in the back enjoying the silence, I took a glance out the side window watching as the trees whipped by and for a split moment I could have sworn I saw something out there, something moving almost as fast as we were but when I looked again it was gone. I gave my head a shake and smiled, looking towards the front of the car. I could barely see out the front of car because the sun was beginning to set, I think I remember reading they called this time twilight. Just before evening? I think that is right. I don't know how Phil could see but he seemed confident and as if he could read my mind he reached over and grabbed Renee's hand I watched them exchange meaningful looks for a moment before a loud popping noise brought everyone back to the moment.
I grabbed the seat-belt defensively but Phil still managed to remain calm as he brought the car back under control and pulled to the side of the road. I hadn't seen another car on the road we were on for some time. So I hoped that someone might come by soon. It was starting to get dark as I watched Phil climb out of the car he leaned back in for a moment as Renee passed him a flashlight. I looked out the window to see him walk back to the rear of the car. I didn't know much about cars and I know Renee doesn't either so we were content to stay in the car.
"Don't worry Bella, Phil will take care of it." She smiled at me, I felt safe. That feeling quickly dropped when a heard something hit the side of the car and I didn't think it was Phil. I tried to look outside but the sun was just behind the horizon and with the trees it made it very difficult to see anything. I couldn't see Phil anymore and it was very quiet. I looked at her for a moment neither of us wanted to go but one of us had to. I mean, I was just a kid. Renee let out a sigh and I knew she was probably thinking the same thing. She unbuckled her seat-belt and looked back at me for a moment. "Just stay here and don't move" She was being serious mom now, it wasn't something she did often so I knew to stay put.
She climbed out of the car slowly, and I could only make her out as she moved through the light that was coming from inside the car. After a moment that light faded out and I could only make out her silhouette but then I heard something that to this day still haunts me. A scream, Renee's scream. It was enough to bring me out of the car, quicker than I could imagine. I don't know what I expected to do but I wanted to try and help, somehow. My eyes adjusted to the darkness impossibly fast and I saw someone lying on the ground, Phil I think. Standing over him was Renee it's like she was trying to wake him up.
"Mom?" My voice sounded shaky, Honestly I was terrified. Something in me screamed to run away but I was frozen on the spot. I just looked at my mother as she began to cry, I wanted to run to her and Phil. I wanted to know what to do and how I could help but in that moment a sound coming from my left caught my attention. As I turned to look, I couldn't believe it.
Standing there, or more so standing on four legs was a wolf. I had to rub my eyes like the old cliche in movies but it was true, standing before me was a wolf easily much large than I. It had its head bowed down low but its eyes I could feel were trained on me. Like it was trying to evaluate me. I heard the howl and let out a scream of my own but it bounded past me and tackled my mother to the ground. I heard its teeth puncture flesh and in that moment I found myself, I ran at the wolf and swung with whatever strength I could manage.
It was like hitting a brick wall, I heard a loud snap I think it was my wrist but I didn't even notice, I tried my hardest but nothing I did even seemed to register with the beast. With one quick snarl in my direction all of my courage failed me and I fell down. The beast turned back to my mother and I could see what looked like its teeth shining in the moonlight as it bit down again and again on my mother. I began to back up, towards the front of the car. As I reached the front I felt a warm hand grab me on the wrist and throw me into the backseat door of the car, which I hadn't closed behind me. I looked outside to see another silhouette moving outside the car, This one caught the beast off guard and the sound of breaking bones and a whimper told me that, impossibly, the other person was winning. I noticed that the other person was a man, he appeared to only be in his twenties. I couldn't make out too much detail however as he moved surprisingly fast, dodging the wolves attacks.
I don't know how he did it, because one moment it wasn't there and the next it wasn't, but the man pulled a very large weapon, a sword maybe and plunged it through the center of the wolf. After a loud yelp, wolf slumped over and.. morphed? It was human now.. Was that a werewolf?
ALEX POV
The mongrel went limp on my sword. It was recently turned and apparently not trained very well because it didn't take me long to beat it. I could see the morph happening so I withdrew the sword from his chest and turned it back into my hand. I hated when I got my arm covered in blood like this. I tried to wipe it off on something, maybe my jacket when I noticed the girl still inside the car, She had seen most of what had happened. I walked over to the door and pulled it open, She shrunk back to the far side of the car, like I was going to hurt her. Oh girl, If only you knew.
"Are those your parents?" I asked, trying to keep everything as clinical as possible. She looked completely devastated. She only nodded. "I'm sorry about this." She looked up at me for a moment but in that moment, my fist connected with the side of her face. And she was unconscious. I didn't want to hurt her, but I didn't expect the mongrel to make it to civilization. No other way to leave her unconscious. I grabbed her by the leg and pulled her out the side of the car, reaching my hand under her head to avoid it hitting the pavement. All my years had taught me what I was going to need to do to cover this up. Reaching into my backpack, I pulled out a large brown sack. It was cliche but it held a body perfectly during the evening. Not like I was going to run into anyone anyways, but you have to be careful when disposing of a body. Especially in this age, the age of the cell phone camera.
I put the morphing mongrel into the bag and set it aside, taking a moment to ensure no one was around. The mother was well, All I will say is that she looked like she wasn't going to be identified anytime soon. The father looked in much better shape, It was a quick death. If only I got here sooner I could have avoided these human deaths. I hated being one step behind, but this 'thing' wouldn't commit to any certain action. Couldn't track it properly. No point worrying about it now. I grabbed the woman and put her in the front passengers seat even going as far as placing the seat-belt across her corpse. It was all in the presentation. I walked back to the rear of the car and dragged the father into the drivers side and buckled him up also.
I had to make this into an accident scene. I morphed the thumb of my left hand into a sharp blade, intending to pierce the rear wheel but it turns out, that's why the stopped in the first place. Well at least there was one upside. I walked back to the front of the car and reached across the woman in the front seat, pulling the parking brake on the car and slamming the door shut. The girl was still unconscious on the side of the road where I had left her. I looked down at her, even in the moonlight overhead I could see her pale skin, almost as bad as those bloody leeches. Ugh. There is still a coven of those nearby. I placed my hands on the back of the car and began to push, A tree would do the trick nicely.
BELLA POV
My head hurt.. Oh my god did it ever hurt. What happened? Did he hit me? The guy who saved me from that.. Werewolf? Yes.. It was a wolf I know what I saw. I sat up, wait a second wasn't I In the car? What am I doing? I could see lights flashing just down the road, did that man call for an ambulance? Where is my family? There were a million questions running through my head but nothing was making clear sense. I reached up to feel my head then realized by the screaming pain in my hand that it was probably broken. By now the ambulance was, on the scene, as some would say. I vaguely remember someone running up to me and then darkness.
3 YEARS LATER
They said I was crazy for what I saw that night. Maybe they were right. All I know is that I spent years in that institution, with doctors talking to me like I was crazy. But now here I am, going to live with my father in my birth town, Forks, Washington. Charlie came to visit me quite often and for that I was glad, it allowed me to keep a level head, even in my surroundings. After a while I just started to agree with the doctors and now here I am, free to leave the institution but on the agreement that Charlie would keep a close eye on me. Ugh. That's fine. Maybe I can get my bearings back and stop having the nightmares of that night.
My Name Is Isabella Marie Swan and I am not insane.
