*Bella is new in Folks and enjoys taking evening walks through the forest. There she finds a sparkling creek behind a magnificent meadow. What she doesn't realise is she is being watched.....*

I walked at first to escape the awkwardness. There is only so much silence a girl can take, and so much Charlie can take before striking up an even more awkward conversation. So I cleaned the dishes and took a stroll. As far back as I can remember Iv always thought of Forks as dull, green and depressing – however as I started to take my walks did I realise something else, its beauty. So at first I escaped the awkwardness but now I look forward to seeing the lush forest and hearing the splatter of rain on the leaves. If anyone had said to me a month ago "Bella you are gong to enjoy taking walks in rainy Folks forest" I would have laughed in there face. I guess Folks has had the last laugh.
As always with my walks I visit my favourite place. A lush creek behind a wild meadow at the top of a hill in the forest. I have no idea if many people come here but I like to think of it as mine. I often sit for hours under a large pine tree and read until twilight before I stumble back to Charlies. So with my destination in mine I set off ready to trip and fall half a dozen times before I reach the trail. Headphones firmly pugged in and book underarm speeds up any journey and the forest passes me in a greenish blur. Its nice to feels the wind whip around me but not so pleasant to feel the heavy weight of the pepper spray Charlie had forced on me when I told him I was going for a walk in the forest. I humour him though and take it along with me although I'm pretty sure Forks is fresh out of psychopaths.
As I glimpse green meadow ahead my heart rate picks up and so does my pace. My feet tumble and trip over themselves in my haste to see my meadow, which is silly as its still and will always be there but its all I live and breathe for now to get me through my mundane days.
As I smell the honeysuckle and tree moss a smile flits across my face. I sigh and breathe deeply inhaling the smell and feel of the air. I close my eyes and raise my head to the sky swaying in the breeze, my heart slowing down to a gentle rhythm accompanying my deep breaths. My smile widens and I slowly make my way across to the tree in the middle of the meadow. Its bumpy grain smoothed away through time and rainfall makes a perfect fit for my back and head, natures own armchair. I sigh contently pull out my ear phones, open the page to my last chapter and fall into the world of Heathcliff and Catherine.

I watch her again.....Iv waited days to get this close....close enough to hear her breathe.....but not yet....its not time yet......I need to wait, yes I need to wait....till the time is right. I should stop breathing heavily she might hear, might get scared, may never come back! No! I cant let that happen. I hear the breeze whip through the leaves, watch it whip back her hair, making it flow in the wind, making her come closer to me....bringing me her scent. I breathe in deeply, wanting to get every last sniff of strawberry, staining it into my memory. The smell of her!! So alluring like her body, she must know what she does to me, to every male! Her body so perfect, flaunting around Folks in tight fitting jeans and checked shirts, top buttons open, flashing her perky breasts at the world. And when she walks.......I suppress a groan from mere memory of it....her full breasts bounce in her shirt, her chocolate hair floating in the breeze, her hips sway in a rhythm that drives me crazy. I suppress another groan and cup my hand to my crotch where Iv grown hard. I rub in earnest lost in the feeling. I close my eyes and succumb to thoughts of her.... "Arggghhh" I suddenly stop and become aware that iv been panting like a dog and have just moaned with her yards away! What a fool I have been. I quickly look at her and relief washes over me, she is too absorbed in the pages to listen to the world around her. I chide myself for being so careless and take my hand away from my bulge straining at my jeans with great effort. I look back up and she hasn't moved. Perfection, I must be the luckiest guy on earth. I stay still now noticing the light has faded, she will be going soon and my angel will leave me, until tomorrow.

Closing the page I look up and am shocked to see stars twinkling cheekily at me from the violet sky. I quickly gather my things but as I bend down I swear I could have glimpsed a silhouette of a man in the bushes behind my tree. I broke into a cold clammy sweat, adrenaline pumped though my veins. I quickly turned and moved across the meadow at a faster speed than which I normally would. I clutch the pepper spray In my pocket and am grateful for Charlies insistence that I brought it and pushed away at my scorn of it before. My breaths frantically steam away at the air in front of me as strain my ears for the sound of someone following. Reassured from hearing non my heart rate slowed down a notch but I kept up my pace...for the first time my meadow felt threatening and I want to be at home. The forest passed by me in blurs of greens and browns as I practically ran back to the house. I have never been more relieved to see the red front door and my orange Chevy. I slipped in the door and tried to compose myself before Charlie grabbed his gun.
"Back already Bells?" Charlie asked from the couch- a ranger game must be on.
"Yup, its getting dark outside,can't read in the dark" I replied, proud for keeping my voice steady, making my way up the stairs. I heard a humph from Charlie as I was half way up. I opened my door to my room and immediately closed the curtains out looking the forest. I had been spooked tonight for no apparent reason but my conscience told me not to go back. My head and heart however battled relentlessly against that decision. I had to go back, its my sanctuary, a place I live for. A part of me warned against the forest and because of my scare tonight I knew Id have to keep away. Anyway...how hard can it be???
EPOV
She saw me....i'm sure of it! How could I ruin it now? I was so close to her, id finally gathered up the courage and she saw me! Her curtains are shut, I cant even glimpse my angel before bed. This is such a terrible night. Iv ruined every chance I had of being with her. I need to see her again....I must.
