I could hear Charlie's faint laughter echo through the trees while we raced. I could see his skin glitter when the sun touched it. I was gaining speed, concentrating very hard on keeping pace with him. Then suddenly …

"Ouch," I mumbled – it didn't really hurt, just out of habit- as I picked myself up off the ground. I was so focused on beating Charlie that I had tripped over a tree root that had grown out of the ground.

I sighed, even though I'm a half breed, I can still manage to trip over .

"You okay Bella?" Charlie asked. He coughed trying to hid a laugh.

"Shut up dad, we both know you don't cough."

I started walking in the other direction when Charlie came up beside me.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have laughed but you should have seen your face," he chuckled again at the memory. Still not ready to talk to him, i stalked off in the direction we had been running in. Charlie was following me silently, probably waiting till I calmed down.

After a few minutes of walking in silence, Charlie spoke up.

"Are you sure you want to come back here?" he put a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Yes ... and no,"

He raised one perfectly angled eyebrow. But I didn't want to talk about what I was going to do. I shook his hand off and walked a step ahead of him.

In the distance I could hear water trickle through a stream and over some rocks. Birds singing happily, even the grass swaying in the breeze. But none of this mattered once I laid eyes on a large, grey, tombstone which was being supported by a huge oak tree. On the tombstone was written:

Here lies Renee Swan
Loving wife
Devoted mother
May she be taken to a better place
Rest in peace

In my life I never felt the need for tears. This, however was the exception.

I was so overwhelmed at the sight of my mothers grave that I fell to the ground with my head in my hands. The Volturi were going to pay, and i was going to make sure they got what they deserved. I got up from where I was knelling and walked over to an unlucky trees in the forest. I stood in front of it imagining Aro's face, smiling, just inches from my own.

"I'll kill you for what you did to my mother, I promise," my voice was drenched in hatred as I spoke. I pulled my hand and then let it snap in a fist, right in the middle of Aro's shocked face. With that one deathly blow, the tree shuddered violently and with a low snap, fell to the ground.

I heard Charlie gasp. I turned around to see him knelling next to Renee's grave with a shocked expression on his already pale face. I just realised that i had Charlie watching me the whole time. Embarrassed and ashamed, I started off into the trees again.

"Bella," called Charlie warily. I turned to see him getting up from the grave sight.

I shook my head quickly. "No dad you stay, I've just got to clean my head."

"I'll come with you anyway."

"Don't be stupid. I'll start packing our things, you know we have to be at Forks tomorrow. And this might be our last time in a while to see mum again," i swiftly glanced over to where she laid,"So take as long as you like."

Charlie just nodded his head. I broke away from his gaze to look at Renee once more.

"Love you mum," I whispherd and with that I broke into a run away from Renee's grave, away from the pain, away from the past and into my future.

"Bella are you sure you've got everything?" Charlie asked as we pulled up in front of my new school. It was beautiful. There was a main, moron coloured building which was three stories high. A metre above the two large wooden doors was the schools name: Tamsin Oak Academy.There was a pathway leading up to the building fenced with rows of trees on each side. The whole academy was surrounded by forests which went on for miles and miles.

I sighed, at least there will be plenty of wildlife around to hunt. My thoughts must have been glued on my face because Charlie looked out his window and said.

"I'm glad there is, I wouldn't want you to get to thirsty around so many humans."

A memory popped up into my mind. It was one of my early hunting trips going horribly wrong.

The wind felt cool on my skin as I darted through the trees. I smelt a herd of deer which were grazing in the grass.

"Seems like a good spot," I thought. I was preparing myself for the attack. I crouched down and let instinct take over and control me. Suddenly nothing meant more than taking down the largest male. Just as I was about to spring on my prey, I smelt something much more appealing. I lifted my head and breathed in the air. My head spun in the direction of the irresistible sent was floating along and I was completely unaware of the deer sprinting away once the noticed my presence. My whole body snapped in that direction and I was off like a light.

My head was whirling with the maddening scent. Finally I saw the animal that had turned me into a savage. A human. Well to be more precise it was two humans with two hunting guns. I wasn't worried about the guns, more about what they would say when they saw that the guns didn't hurt me. I was so caught up in my hunt that I forgot that they weren't animals and that they mightsee me if I just walk right up to them. So I hid behind a tree, gripping onto it so tightly that it might not last. Trying to be sneaky about it, I peaked quickly around the tree to find one of the men looking at me. I pulled my head back behind the safety of the tree.

"Hey Rob did you see that?" asked the man who saw me. He pointed to the tree I hid behind.

"Dammit, he saw me. Good going Bella," I thought sarcastically. I gripped the tree even tighter- if that's even possible- and concentrated on getting every word spoken in their conversation.

"Listen man I swear you're going crazy," Rob laughed and started walking away.

"Maybe, but I ... oh well let's go."

The other man followed Rob. Still in hunting mode, I followed them. But as I let go of the tree to slink behind another, it turns out my hands had actually broke the tree and were the only things keeping it up right.

So the tree fell.

I was so shocked that I didn't have time to catch the tree before it hit the ground with a deafening crash. The men turned around with their guns pointed at the broken tree. I had just enough time to find refuge behind one of it's neighbours. The men started shooting their weapons at the exact spot I had just been.

"What the hell are you doing Bella?" I questioned myself as the bullets flew past me,"Do you honestly want to kill these people? They probably have families waiting for them, or pets or jobs. Do you want to cause pain to those people? Do you want to be a murderer?!"

I shook my head from side to side, trying to clear my brain. I lost the scent in my head and raced away before it could return, dodging bullets the whole way.

I shuddered, at least that won't happen here. I'll be extra careful and hunt every month- seeing as I don't need to hunt as often as normal vampires do.

"Well come on kiddo, let's get you settled in," Charlie was out of the car and at my side in a flash, holding my door open.

"Careful dad," I whispherd at him while I got out of the car," Some one might be watching," I looked around hoping that I was wrong. Charlie laughed as he took my bags out of the back of his car.

"I'm always carful Bells," He stared walking up towards the administration building. I jogged up to his side carrying some of my bags.

The lady at the counter smiled sweetly at us as we walked through the doors. Her blonde hair was pulled up into a messy bun at the top of her head. She looked no older than 30. A name tag was placed at the front of the desk she sat behind, it said Mrs Elliot.

"Hello and welcome to Tamsin Oak Academy. My name is Samantha Elliot. How can I help you?" She smiled at me and gestured to the seats at her desk.

"My daughter- Isabella Swan- is starting here this year and we would like to grab her key so we can unpack all of her luggage," Charlie looked pointedly at my bags and then back to Mrs Elliot.

She seemed dazed for a few moments, but soon recovered and handed us my dorm keys.

"If you need any help with anything, don't be afraid to call."

"That's very kind, thank you Mrs Elliot."

"Please call me Sam," she frowned," Mrs Elliot makes me feel so old."

I chuckled," Okay Sam."

Sam had informed me that I was going to have a roommate, Alice. Great, I really hope that she doesn't notice that I'm a little odd.

It turns out that my dorm is the furthest away from the admin office but the closest to the forest that surrounded the school which is a plus. The admin building was called A block, the two dorm building on the east side were B and C block. Where I was staying-at the back of the academy- was D block and the west side was E block. All the classrooms where situated in the middle of the giant square. D block was 4 stories high and I was in the 3rd.

Charlie was going to help me unpack my things, but Alice was already in the room. So I told him that I could do it myself.

"You sure?" he asked as he put his share of my bags in front of the door.

"Yes," I groaned," It'll be fun," my attempt to be enthusiastic was pretty poor.

"Okay call me soon," Charlie called over his shoulder as he started to walk to the elevator.

"Will do."

He waved then he was gone.

I turned to the door to hear Alice talking on a phone," Okay, okay Rose, come up in 15 minutes," she paused to hear the answer," Yeah, see you soon," Alice hung up the phone so I guessed it was my cue to walk in.

I took a deep breath, clutched my hand around the small, silver door knob and slowly opened the door.

"Hello?"

Ooh, well what do you think??
