Okay, my name isn't Amber, let's get that straight because I don't want people going "Why did you put your self in there?" My last name also isn't Hathaway. Okay so your name is Amber Hathaway, you are half vampire, and in hopes of finding a normal life move to Forks. Well your "normal" life changes when you meet some people on your first day at school…..

I ran as fast as I could through the woods and in fear of finding a vampire tried to keep as quiet as you could. I am terrified of vampires, I may be half vampire myself but, still, I have had some pretty bad experiences in the past. When I found myself on the outskirts of a small town by the name of Forks, I stopped. A small town in the middle of nowhere. Just what I needed. And I am not being sarcastic on this. I really needed a small inconspicuous town to live in. I cautiously walked towards the tiny town in hopes of maybe finding my sister. She used to live here. As I made my way towards the tiny town square I began to see that no one noticed me. Good. I made my way to the grocery store in the square and walked up to the cashier. This was a small town right? Everybody knows everybody; maybe she would know my sister. "Hello, I was hoping you could help me." I said politely.

"Sure, what do you need?" She replied.

"Have you seen a girl who looks almost like my twin but a little taller and with straighter hair? Her name is Katie." Okay, let me describe myself to you so you can get a mental image of what my sister is like. I have really dark tan skin, but I am white. I have brown curly hair that goes down to my waist, green eyes, and I am very curvy, and I am a little busty. Katie is just a little taller than me and her hair is straight and goes down to her waist, tan has green eyes and is a little less curvy and busty than me.

"Yeah, I have, what do you need from her?" She said.

"Well I was hoping you kind of knew where she lives, she's my sister."

"Yeah, I do. She lives near the beach, very close to La Push near the reservation."

"Okay! Thanks."

"No problem." I made my way out of the store and towards the beach. I needed to find her and figure out if I could live with her. Katie and I have always been close but we drifted apart when we got into a fight when we lived in Greece. Now I needed her so I hoped she would let me live with her. When I stopped aging I was about sixteen, Katie managed to go until she was about twenty, so at least it would look like I was living with an adult instead of by myself. As I walked up to the tiny house I felt a little guilty for not talking to her for so long. But then again, I had been on the run for the last twenty-five years of my life so I tried not to kill myself over it. I knocked on the door and she answered it within seconds.

"Amber? Is that you?" She said bewildered that I was at her doorstep which was not helping my whole guilt thing going on.

"Yeah, I know, I am sorry for not talking for you for awhile." I replied, but she didn't seem to care because she was giving me the biggest bear hug ever right now. Okay, my guilt disappeared.

"I am so happy to see you! Come inside!" She was ecstatic. "How have you been? Where have you been? I have missed you so much! Tell me everything!"

"I am happy to see you too! I missed you a lot. I have been a little tired recently from traveling so much."

"Where did you go? Why did you travel so much?" She was in the kitchen as I sat down on her sofa. I smelt dinner, my mouth watered. We were both half vampire, but we preferred food.

I got over my little hunger issue and replied "I went all around Europe, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland. I have been trying to find a place to settle for a while, and then I figured I should stay with you, I missed you so much." Part of that was truth. I was mostly on the run from some European vampires, but if I was in America, they couldn't get me.

She nodded as if she understood and said "Well, you can stay here as long as you like. I really missed you. Come sit down! I made lasagna." I almost sprinted to the table and waited patiently, lasagna had always been my favorite food. Katie laughed at my eagerness. We ate and talked about what had been going on here and laughed at each other's memories. This is why I loved Katie. She made me forget everything that troubled me in this world. She always made me feel at ease and at home. When we finished I helped her with the dishes. "You know if you live here you have to go to school." Katie said breaking the one minute silence.

"Ugh, you're kidding right?" She shook her head. "Damn."

She laughed in amusement and said "Don't worry, everyone is super normal here, no one stands out and there aren't that many kids at the high school." I moaned. High school was one thing I couldn't take at all. I hated drama, therefore I had a lot more guy friends than girl friends and the girls, jealous and or intimidated would spread rumors, and attack me. "I know you hate school but it's something you have to do."

"Ugh, fine…" I said regretting that the words ever left my mouth.

"Good! I'll call the school." I watched TV as she talked on the phone, it was about two o'clock and nothing was on but soap operas, I tried to figure out who was who and what was going on, but tried unsuccessfully. Katie hung up the phone. "Okay, you start tomorrow! Go to the front office to get your schedule tomorrow."

"Okay…." I said with a tone of annoyance in my voice.

"Let me show you to your room, we can spruce it up this weekend if you don't like it."

"Okay!" I said excited at the prospect of privacy. We walked up the stairs and turned to the left. Katie opened the door to a small room with a double bed with a blue comforter and white walls with paintings of the beach in Greece on the walls. I stopped to admire them, and then I recognized them. I had painted them myself. I was always gifted in the arts. I was a good singer, painter and actress. The problem with becoming famous was that I don't age; I think that is self explanatory. "This is nice, I could just paint it this weekend and put up a bulletin board and I think I would be fine." I liked the room, just wanted to personalize it a little bit more.

"Okay, good. You can hang out around here for the rest of the day or you can come with me to Port Angeles and go shopping." She said. Okay, that wasn't fair. I desperately need some clothes but I needed to rest to. I quickly decided rest could wait I had to look good for tomorrow.

"Let's shop!" I said excited.
