Chapter 1
My name is Isabella Swan- Bella – as I'd rather be called. I grew up in Smallville Kansas, a small farming town that doesn't show up on most maps. What you may not know is this town was hit with a meteor shower in 1986. The meteors that fell to earth possessed green crystals that according to one of my best friends- changes people, that they developed powers.
If you think that's strange listen to this: the green rock I mentioned before, it's called kryptonite. It's actually fragments of a planet called Krypton. The part that sucks is that krypton no longer exists and its lone survivor is non other than my other best friend; Clark Kent. I was not as shocked as I should've been when Clark told us the truth, but the guy was more human than anyone else and add that to the fact he saved our more times than we could count. And we automatically said that that little piece information just adds to his character, just like just his love for plaid. (Lois likes to tell him that.)
I am best friends with some really 'different' people; Chloe had the ability to heal, and Clark was an intergalactic traveler, and we always thought I was meteor infected too; because of my 'super-smartness' as Chloe called it but it was only later we were proven wrong; that my smarts was all natural and that I possessed another power.
It all began when I was bitten by a vampire. Yes, you read correctly, I in fact said vampire. Well I told you about aliens/intergalactic travelers and meta-humans; by now your threshold for weirdness should be pretty deep by now.
As I was saying it all began when I was bitten. My friends and I decided to go on a camping trip before Chloe, Clark and I started senior year and before Chloe's boyfriend; Jimmy and Clark's girlfriend; Lois, who is also Chloe's cousin started their freshman at Metropolis University. (Oh and we all know about Clark's origins.) It was the third night there and I was only one sans a boyfriend and everyone else was starting to get cozy around the fire and I decided if I stayed any longer I would've gotten cavities because I was surrounding a bunch of sweet loving couples so I left for a walk and told them if I didn't return in an hour they could sent Clark to drag me back.
There I was minding my own business when suddenly I felt something rock-hard hit me, pinning me to the ground. Several things happened and even now it was a blur because it happened within seconds. That thing knocked me to the ground, I felt a piercing sensation on my neck, I screamed, the feeling of its teeth being ripped away from my skin as Clark pulled the creature from me, hearing the creature scream in pain, and finally my pain stopped and everything faded into darkness. A lot I know and if I had enough time I to process what had happened, I too would be wondering why a vampire would be screaming after he just tried to suck the life out of me.
I woke up in my tent with the sun streaming in and burned into my eyelids; rubbing my eyes trying to erase the sleep from them than slowly the events of last night came flooding to me. And my hands went straight to my neck expecting to find bandage of some kind but to find none. I rationally thought Chloe had healed me. I got up looked around to find Lois staring at me. Then she lead me outside to the clearing to find everyone there and then they proceeded to introduce me to a man that was standing behind Clark, he looked terrified like I was going to kill him or something.
Let us see if I remember that conversation.
"Bella I would like to introduce you to Landon St. Claire." Clark said, "And before I say anything you have to promise to remain calm."
I nodded.
"He was the one who attacked you last night…"
"WHAT! And would you like to explain to why he's still here and by the looks of it he does NOT look like the psycho who was drinking my BLOOD last night. In fact he looks scared out of his wits." I ranted as my promise drowned in my anger.
"I was going to explain." Clark said.
"You're taking too long."
"He WAS a vampire." Clark looked at me and saw I was about to interrupt and gave me a look and I closed my mouth. "You somehow reversed the vampirism thing or something when he tasted your blood and now he's human."
"How?"
"We're not sure." Clark replied.
"O-okay then that explains the psycho behavior last night but why is he suddenly a scared little boy now? And did you heal me?" I asked randomly but directed the latter to Chloe. Meta-humans; check, intergalactic travelers; check and it would appear vampires; check.
"I didn't heal you; you actually healed almost as immediately as Clark pulled Landon away from you. But the fact that he is scared right now, I'll let him explain." Chloe replied.
I turned to Landon and raised an eyebrow. I used all my will not to try to kill him for trying to kill me and I repeatedly told myself that Clark would NEVER allow a murderous vampire anywhere near us; so that cooled my nerves. That and the fact that as I looked at the said vampire I could see the fear, remorse, and guilt ooze from his pores and ALMOST pulled on my heart strings; almost.
"I-I-I am terribly sorry for what I did to you or would've done to you." he took a deep breath to steady himself as if he felt alien in his own body. "I am different from my kind-well I'm human now so technically it's not my kind anymore- *smiles nervously* any I'm vegetarian if you will, I only used feed on the blood of animals not humans. I was hunting when I ran into you; there are usually no humans around here so foolishly I didn't check. I'm sorry, so terribly sorry. "
Oh that sort of made sense, and it explained why Clark was okay with it.
"I've never tasted a human's blood before." He said when I didn't reply, "When I did it felt like the pain I felt when I was first bitten. And that's something you never forget. Next think I know I'm human again when I haven't been for almost 200 years."
"200 YEARS? 200 years? A vampire whose 200 years old... You guys are taking this well." I said looking at everyone as everyone looked at me.
"He told us last night while you were asleep." Lois said.
After that Landon proceeded to tell us about his life as a vampire, his struggles, his achievements over his two-hundred year life-span, his friends who were like him; who were vegetarian as he described it; the Cullens, and the Volturi. That's when Clark got tense and then Landon explained to him that there was nothing he could doabout the workings of the Volturi. Clark of course brooded about it and now I could smile at the thought of Lois treating to kick him if didn't stop.
"Remain calm the pilot would be landing soon do relax." The flight attendant said pulling me from my thoughts.
You must be wondering where I was heading and to answer your question; Forks; a small town in the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State. It was different from Smallville as it existed under a near-constant cover of clouds. At least in Smallville there was sun!
You also must be wondering why as well. I'm moving here because my mom got her dream job and had to move so I decided instead of all the hassle I would move to Forks to life with Charlie- my dad- who by the way I hadn't seen since I was like five- maybe- I wasn't sure. The conversation that involved telling my best friend/brother that I was moving when like this:
"You are not moving there!" Clark repeated.
"I heard you, but you can't do anything about it, it's already been arranged and Charlie has enrolled me at Forks High School."
"You could stay at the farm, my parents won't mind."
"And where would Lois stay when she comes home on weekends from Met U?"
"But-But you can't go…there." He looked like sad little boy. "Any way Landon said there is the perfect place for vampires to live and it DANGEROUS!"
"Lucky me…danger is my middle name. Relax the only vampires there probably would be there are Cullens and as Landon said they're safe. Besides if they do bite me, or any vampire for that matter they will fall down like they've been hit by a stunt gun and the Cullens most likely would think me a God sent." I said with a smile.
"That's a little cocky don't you think?"He said with a laugh and I shrugged my shoulders and then gave him a look that said I was finished arguing. He hugged me and went of to finish his chores.
By the time I land at Port Angeles, I'm sure it would be raining and…it is! What a coincidence? Huh. I could feel I mood wash away with the rain and sadly reminded of far away I was from home. I looked around a saw Charlie was waiting for me.
I chanted to myself: 'Look at the bright side, look at the bright side, look at the bright side. What the heck was the bright side again? Oh oh…at least there were vampires, (the Cullens, hopefully) here and I wouldn't be the only weird one and I could spend my time figuring them out. They're definitely bright sides.' I smile at the thought, 'This is going to fun'
