CHAPTER 1
Clara POV
1907
I trudged back up to the small house I shared with my parents and my eight brothers and sisters.
In order from youngest to oldest for my siblings ages it is: Charles-the baby, Mary-2, Donald-5, Anthony-Donald's twin, Nellie-6, Howard-8, Harriet-10 and June-12. I'm 16 and the oldest. We live in a tiny farm near town. I remember Papa once saying we lived in New Jersey.
I walked through the front door into the tiny kitchen. Mama was making bread. "I fed the horses and cows and Harriet already fed the chickens." I reported. "Perfect. Now go upstairs and change out of those grimy clothes and get washed up. It is almost time for dinner and I expect you to get Donald and Anthony cleaned up today." She instructed. I nodded and pulled f my boots then started up the stairs. "I swear," she mumbled "If anybody is ever going to take her as their wife, then she better learn how to take care of herself. I bet her father has taught her how to work a plough but she has no idea how to sew a cushion, maybe the girls at the salon are right, maybe I should enroll her in school. Oh, but its just so darn expensive! Maybe I will-" I rushed up the stairs before I heard anything else.
When I got to the room I share with Nellie, Harriet and June I plopped onto the bed that me and June share and started to cry. Nellie and Harriet, who where in the corner playing with their cornstalk dolls, looked at me. June looked up at me from her embroidering. "You okay ClarieDairy?" She asked, using my old nickname. I growled at her and changed into a dress for supper. No way was I marrying a stranger, even if he was rich! I couldn't believe that Mama would think about that! I sighed, wiped my eyes and walked over to the boys room, ready to get Anthony and Donald ready.
Dinner was quiet. Everyone could feel my tension. Mama cleared her throat. "I would like to curl your hair tonight, Clara. We are going to town tomorrow to meet some men who are interested in you." I opened my mouth, ready to protest, but closed it again. There was no point in fighting. They wanted a rich son-in-law. They were so medieval! I mean picking their daughters husband? "I am going for a walk." I said coldly as I pushed my plate aside. I needed to get out.
I hurried down the road, the wind blowing against my bare legs. I shivered and pulled my arms to my chest. It was getting late. I turned around to go home and suddenly met a pair of piercing red eyes. "My, my. How much trouble have we gotten ourselves into?" He said in a beautiful, angelic voice. I gulped as another one of the strange red-eyes appeared from the trees. "What is taking you so long?" She asked him in a sweet soprano. "Oh nothing Elizabeth. Just fooling around." She looked at him impatiently. He sighed in defeat and turned back to me. I was frozen with fear. He smiled at me, then pounced. I screamed as he sunk his razor-sharp teeth into my neck. Suddenly I heard a gunshot and the Male jumped off of me. "Who's there!" A gruff voice called. I almost smiled through the burning pain. I would know that voice anywhere. Sheriff Macpherson! He must have heard me scream. I tried to yell for him but it came out a garbled mess. "Come ON!" the female urged. The male grabbed me and ran at super speed to the heart of the forest. "Drop her here!" the female instructed. I felt the cold harsh ground under me. I rolled onto my side and into ball. Maybe I could sleep through the pain . . . .
OK I hoped you liked it! It will eventually be taking place from Twilight to Breaking Dawn. I think that maybe the next chapter will be where she meets the Volturi . . . .LUV YA!
