I took a deep breath of the pine scented air as I stepped out of my car. January snow was still clinging to the icy ground and my breath misted as I exhaled. It was a typical windy, frigid day in Forks, Washington.
Ah….Home sweet home….I thought to myself as I looked around at my new house. It was pretty big for just me and Charlie. He insisted on buying this house for us though. He claimed that we only live forever and to just have a little fun.
But a house was just a house to me personally. But again he was the one with most of the money.
I walked up to my new house and it was silent except for the animals and life around me. It's not like I didn't like silence but it was a kind of eerie silence that made someone uncomfortable.
As soon as I opened the door I saw piles of boxes that were stacked high and went from the living room to the kitchen that wasn't ever going to be used. I sighed lightly as I knew with even vampire speed it would take a while.
"Oh. Good. Bella can you start with those boxes over there by the fireplace?" Charlie pointed over towards the towering boxes.
"Sure." I said simply. I walked slowly over towards them and literally ripped them apart and ran all over the house putting them in their place. It took about an hour to completely finish and I brushed my dirty hands on my jeans looking at them with disgust.
"I'm gonna go hunt." I told him. If I was going to be around humans I would have to feed more frequently and drink more. Plus my throat was burning as it was.
I skipped lightly outside and bolted into the forest. I caught the sweet scent of an elk so I ran towards that delicious scent.
I attacked it and killed it instantly. I moaned lightly as the warm, delicious liquid ran down my burning throat. It felt so good to drink sometimes.
I was a little sad when I sucked it dry but then I was relieved when I found another elk and it was bigger and better than the last one. I sucked this one dry even faster. But I reluctantly buried it under a tree and went off in search of another one.
I caught two more and headed back towards my house. I got in to find Charlie had left to go hunt as well. I crumpled his note in my hand and threw it away and then I ran upstairs to my room. I lay on my unused bed and read through some girl magazines that I bought so I would seem human. Apparently that's what teenage girls read these days so I decided I would give it a try.
It was pretty uninteresting because all it was were these pictures of clothing and boys and makeup.
I sighed and threw the 15th magazine on the floor. I looked around my room and then decided I would explore Forks. Even though it was around 10:00 at night I would anyway. I hadn't heard Charlie come back so I jumped out my window and hopped into my Black Mercedes S55 AMG.
I pulled out of my driveway and accelerated towards 120. I was flying down the deserted roads of Forks. I then found myself driving towards La Push. I wanted to see that the treaty was still intact. I drove slowly since the lights were out pretty much.
'Jeez. These people go to sleep early.' I thought to myself as I drove through once again. I could smell their dirty scent lingering in the air. Some stronger scents than others. I wrinkled my nose in disgust and sped up as I drove home.
I got out and walked in to see Charlie lounging on the sofa.
"'Bout time Bella." He said as I sat next to him.
"Sorry." I mumbled.
"It's okay I just didn't know where you were." He stated simply.
I nodded slightly looking straight at the television screen. We sat like this for a while till Charlie jumped up from the couch and said "Don't want to be late for my first day at the hospital." He shot up the stairs and came down 2 minutes later wearing a collared shirt and some khaki pants. His hair was gelled back and he looked like he was older than 32.
