chapter one
I woke up in extreme pain and notice I'm bleeding. I know I have to leave this place, otherwise next time he could kill me. I grabbed my phone and texted my good friend Jasper who lives in Forks, Washington, "Can I come and stay with you?"
I stare at my phone anxiously waiting for an answer willing a response, and after a few moments he texts me back, "Yes, of course you can."
Finally, now I can get out of this house, out of this nightmare. I cast an undetectable extension charm on my bag so that all of my personal belongings can be safely carried with no problems. My dragon, Starfire, quickly goes into her cage and I place it gently in the bag so she doesn't get jostled. Just before I turn to head out the front door, I give my room one last glance goodbye.
Unfortunately for me on my way out, my Uncle Druza sees me and isn't happy. "Boy!" He yells loudly. "Where do you think you are going?" His face is bright red and angry. He is always furious and I know I need to get out the door before he snaps and hits me again.
I swiftly come up with a quick lie, one I know he'll easily believe, "To work, sir." He knows how seriously I take my position working for the LVPD in the CSI department. I had so much motivation to work hard and succeed: my mother's friend and my godfather, Warrick Brown was killed a few months back, and my mother was murdered when I was little. Her case went cold and they were never able to get a lead in order to solve it. I promised myself I would do whatever it took to become a CSI agent.
I hastily run out of the house and run to my motorcycle. The engine roars to life and I speed off down the road, away from this house forever. Forks, Washington, here I come.
20 hours and 30 minutes later I pull up to the Cullen's house. Jasper has been living with the Cullen clan for many years now. Carlisle, the leader of their coven, has been very generous in letting my friend stay with him and I can only hope that he will extend the same generosity towards me.
