"Thank you for flying with Forks Airlines, we wish you the best holiday and thank you for flying with us. We will see you on your way back, thank you!"

I sighed heavily as I picked up my hand luggage and made my way off the aeroplane. Even though only a few hours had passed, it had seemed like a longer time than necessary.

Mom and Dad had decided that they needed some time without their only daughter, and so had sent me across the ocean to stay with one of her willing friends, who I had never had any contact with. They only mentioned their tribal stories and that the son was around my age, and so I should get along with him.

I wasn't getting my hopes up.

My height wasn't that of a normal girl aged 17. It was rather small, only coming in at a small 5 foot 5 for a seventeen year old. Looks weren't in my specialty either; what with plain, shoulder-length straight brown hair, and plain brown eyes. Who could work with that? Not me.

Picking up my small luggage backpack from the circulating platform, I made my way out into the cold, but fresh air of the airport. Biting my bottom lip, I tried to look for anything which would indicate where I was supposed to be going.

Looking around, I saw 'Yuuki' written in a very quick and hasty manner on a large white pad of paper.

I walked over to the sign to see a large, but skinny man in a Police uniform. He had short brown hair and beady eyes. He saw me approach and straightened his hunched form.

"Are you Yuuki Haruna?" He questioned, checking the billboard to make sure he had the correct name. I nodded hastily to avoid any confusion.

The man smiled slightly. "Nice to meet you," He said as he held out his hand and grabbed mine, shaking it and letting it drop back to my side. "Billy, the man you're going to be staying with, couldn't be here to pick you up. So I said I'd take you back to mine so you weren't on your own."

I smiled back at the man. "Thank you," I replied "and your name is..?"

The man slapped his forehead with his hand in a joking manner. "Sorry about that, my name is Charlie. Charlie Swan." He paused a moment. "Come on; ill drop you off at the house. Bella should be back now."

Not being able to question who 'Bella' was as Charlie quickly strode towards the exit, I followed him out into the drizzly weather that was Forks.

**********

It didn't take long to get to Charlie's house. It was just by the local school, which made me think about where I would be going to school, as my parents didn't mention the fact at all. I frowned, glad that Charlie didn't catch it.

He was a nice guy, but he was the type of guy who preferred the silence than speaking. I could tell that, and I wasn't the most observant person in the world.

I climbed out of the car with my luggage and followed Charlie into the homely living space to the left-hand side of the door.

"Bella," Charlie called up the stairs, banging on the wall slightly as he did "Bella!"

Suddenly I felt slightly nervous, my hands starting to fidget and biting my bottom lip again; a habit I had had since I was small. The bounding down the stairs caught my attention, turning around and awaiting the arrival of 'Bella'.

"Yeah, Dad?" The girl answered, reaching the bottom of the stairs. She was very pretty, long brown hair which was slightly messed up and large, almost chocolate coloured eyes. I was very envious. She wore a blue buttoned up blouse and plain blue jeans.

Noticing my presence, Bella came over to me and held her hand out. "You must be Yuuki right? It's very nice to meet you. My names Isabella Swan, but call me 'Bella' please?"

I took Bella's hand and shook it once, smiling sweetly to her.

Charlie crossed his arms, all of a sudden looking very awkward. "I've got to go back to work, okay Bella? Look after Yuuki for a bit until you can take her up to La Push."

Bella nodded in affirmation and pulled me up the stairs. She pushed me into what seemed to be her bedroom and I fell lightly onto her bed. She closed the door behind her and sat cross-legged next to me.

"So, you're going to be living with the Blacks?" She questioned, leaning into my space. I backed away, slightly afraid.

"I...don't know." I replied, confused. "Is that their second name?"

Bella backed away for a moment, as confused as I was. "You don't even know who you're staying with?" She twirled a long piece of brown hair in her finger as she spoke.

I shook my head, scowling. "My parents decided they wanted to get rid of me, so here I am, unwanted." Maybe that was a little harsh, but they really didn't care of my opinion anyway.

Bella gaped at me. "So what did they tell you?"

I thought for a moment, staring at her ceiling and tracing the patterns with my eyes. "Um..." I replied, trying to recall why my mother had told me about these lands. "Oh! She told me of their traditions. Stories about the 'Cold Ones' and that the 'Quileute's' were descended from Wolves many years ago. I must say, it was very fascinating." I looked over to Bella to see that all of the blood had drained from her face, her eyes as wide as saucers.

"Oh my god, Bella? Are you...okay?" I questioned, shifting closer towards her and waving a hand closer to her face.

Slowly the colour came back and she blinked a couple of times. "Yes, yes. I'm fine, sorry. You just took my by...surprise..."

There was a loud knock from the door downstairs as Bella excused herself to go and answer it. Glancing around the room, it was very easy to see that she had a thing for taking photographs. Many were scattered all over the room; on the floor; on the walls, everywhere.

Many of them were of her and a boy who looked as if he could be a male model. His skin perfectly smooth, not a blemish in sight. His eyes were...mesmerising; liquid pools of copper. Every part of him was utterly perfect, not a thing out of line or place. Unbelievable really.

"Yuuki!"

I spun round, realising that my name was being called and bounded down the stairs. Bella was at the door with the guy I had just seen in her pictures. He was looking as stunning as ever in fitting jeans and a light blue buttoned up shirt. I looked away to avoid apparent staring.

Bella smiled affectionately towards the boy in front of her. "Yuuki, this is my...boyfriend, Edward Cullen."

I held out my hand towards the dazzling creature. "It's nice you meet you."

He took my hand cautiously as I noticed that he was wearing gloves; weird. He smiled at that precise moment.

"You too." He replied in a deep, almost velvety voice. I think I just fell in love, shame he's already taken, and I would never do anything like that, it made me sick just thinking about it.

"Um, Bella?" She broke her stare at Edward and looked at me. "When am I going to meet the Blacks?" I said, taking in the way Edward stiffened when the name was mentioned, but not making it obvious that I had seen.

She smiled at me. "I can take you now, if you like?" Edward stiffened again, grasping Bella's hand and staring into her eyes. She frowned at him. "I'll be fine, Edward."

Suddenly I felt really bad that he had just arrived and I was going to be taking Bella away from him so soon. "Oh, don't worry about it," They looked at me quizzically. "Edwards just got here, right? I can wait." I smiled nervously at Edward, not waiting to get on anyone's bad side on my first day in Forks. He creepily smiled again as I raised my eyebrow at him.

Bella just laughed and Edward smiled crookedly. "Don't be silly Yuuki, come on ill take you now." She made her way out the door with Edward at her heels. I raced to get my luggage and made my way back to the door. They seemed to be having a small disagreement which was being whispered between them both.

"-careful Bella, you know how Jacob is now that everything's happened. You can't just go back like every thing's normal." Edward whispered cautiously.

She huffed in response. "Jake will thank me one day, and for now, I need to get Yuuki over there, I promised Dad!" Bella breathed heavily, exhaling deep and hard. "Jake is...young. He will get over me eventually, when he finds the right girl, that is and-"

Edward quickly cut in. "And who is going to be that girl, Bella? He can't just replace you that easily."

Bella breathed deeply again. "I know Edward, I know."

Before anymore could be said, I made my way out of the door, closing it behind me. Bella came up and locked it before making her way over to a large, almost orange truck. Edward stood over by the driver's seat, waiting for her and then pecking her on the lips before saying goodbye to me and making his way down the road.

I smiled and laughed as Bella followed Edwards retreat down the road with her eyes. She faced me, confused.

"Your totally whipped, Bella." I giggled, clutching my stomach with my free hand.

Her arms crossed over her chest. "...Am not." She replied childishly, making me laugh even more as she joined in. "Okay, maybe I am, slightly."

We both laughed again as we got into the truck. Bella put in the keys and backed out of the driveway, slowly as ice was appearing on the roads. Winter was setting in now. We passed the sign 'Welcome to Forks' as I looked back at Bella, confused.

"The Blacks live in La Push. It's not that far out from Forks, so you can visit me any time you like." She said, winking at me as I laughed again. "Billy, the dad, is one of the nicest men I've ever met. He and Dad are best friends, so you'll see a lot of him as well."

I remained silent for a moment. "Who's Jake?"

Her hands clenched on the wheel for a brief moment as the name was mentioned, the tension getting thicker in the small section of the truck that we were sat in. Bella remained silent for a few moments before she spoke.

"Jake is...was, my best friend." She said, her voice cracking in the middle of the sentence.

"I'm sorry," I said "I shouldn't have brought it up. It was rude of me."

Bella looked over to me for a second before fixing her gaze back on the road. She sighed before slouching back into the seat.

"Don't be silly Yuuki. Jake and I have...history, if you would call it that. He fell in love with me, and I fell in love with somebody else. Jake didn't take it very well, is all," Bella sighed again "Jake's your age, seventeen, and is one of the best guys I have ever met. You'll get along fine with him."

"I hope so." I whispered, looking down at my feet and tapping them on the carpet of the car.

The rest of the car journey was silent until Bella pulled into one of La Push's homes. It was small, but homely in its own way. There was a large garage separate to the house, and when Bella stopped the truck I opened my door and climbed out, leaving my luggage in the truck for the time being.

I wandered over to the garage and peered inside, admiring the parts of the motorcycle that were scattered over the floor in a neat arrangement. I smiled to myself, secretly missing my motorcycle at home. My parents didn't approve.

"So..." Bella whispered, making my jump and fall to the floor on my ass. She laughed and walked into the garage, leaving my to pick myself up, get rid of the dirt on my trousers and lean on the doorway. "You like motorcycles?"

I nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, I had one at home."

"You'll get on with Jake better than I thought." She said, whispering to herself as if deep in thought.

I laughed, joking. "Are you trying to set me up?"

"Maybe." She said seriously, staring right at me. I stiffened, looking away. I didn't want or need a boy in my life, and I was not going to fall for the one that I was living with, most definitely not.

The room was silent. I didn't want to say anything to offend Bella, and apparently she was thinking the same. I made my way over to the motorbike, marvelling in its half built structure. Some bikes were built for speed, some for agility, but this one was definitely for speed. This baby could probably reach 200 miles per hour in less than 10 seconds when finished.

I picked up one piece on the floor when a large, tan hand shot out from behind me and grabbed my wrist in a bone-crushing grip. It was obviously male because the hand must have been twice the size of my own. I gasped in surprise, but also in slight pain.

"Let. Go. Of. It." The boy hissed, crushing my wrist even more as I refused to let the piece go, though not trusting my voice, I hissed.

"Jake, Jake! Calm down, please!" Bella shouted, pulling the boy away, though taking me too because he refused to let go. "You're hurting her!"

I turned my head around to meet the boy I was going to be staying with. He had beautifully tanned skin with dark eyes and short black cropped hair. His eyes were angry, his mouth turned in a livid scowl as his top lip curled over his teeth in his state of irritation.

I smiled through the pain towards 'Jacob', looking back at the motorbike then back at him. "That's a sweet motorbike you have there. What make is it?"

Jacob looked angry for a moment more before he visibly cooled down. His eyes became less vivid and his posture became more slouched and relaxed. I hissed when his fingers uncurled themselves from my wrist.

"It's a Rabbit." He said as I slowly placed the piece back on the floor and then made his exit through the garage door.

When he was definitely out of hearing range, I looked back at Bella. She was on the floor like me and looked more worried.

I laughed, clutching my stomach with my free hand as she stared at me in complete bewilderment. "Well, I think he likes me."

Slowly, a small smile crept onto her face. "Yeah, he definitely likes you."
