Disclaimer – Twilight and its associated characters are not mine, they belong to Stephenie Meyer. I am making no profit from this little venture, just having some fun with characters we all know and love.
A/N – So I've had this idea in my head for awhile and I've finally got some time to write it. Its AU as I'm adding some elements I've always wanted to see in fanfic but I'm keeping the characters as in-character as I can. Many thanks to Najo and mbellaandedwardm who gave me the push to get this story up. I hope you all like it.
Don't go into the woods . . . That is the simple rule in Forks and all obey. No one questions it, no one challenges it. No one goes into the woods. Except, I have . . . There's a lot of secrets in Forks and Bella Swan is about to stumble into the biggest one, altering her life and all those around her.

Prologue
XOX
Growing up as a police chief's daughter brings about certain expectations. Especially if you live in a small town where everybody knows everybody else and each other's business.
Firstly, you must not break the law, any law no matter how small. This would be bad on many levels; after all if a police chief can't control his own daughter how can he be believed to uphold the law with the rest of the town?
Next, you must avoid all situations that may lead to public attention and/or humiliation. Being the chief's daughter does bring about some fame, even when not wanted, so it's paramount to be on your best behaviour at all times. Don't make friends with 'the wrong crowd'. Never date a rebel or 'bad boy'. Don't attend parties where there will be underage drinking; part of the no law-breaking rule. Say no to drugs. Report incidents of any wrong-doing you see. No smoking in banned places, best not to smoke at all really. Get top grades. Be kind to everyone you meet. Help old ladies cross the street. The list goes on and on.
That is what life is, a list of do's and don'ts. It's my life. Isabella Marie Swan, daughter of Charlie Swan, Police Chief of Forks, Washington. If you have never heard of such a place that's understandable, as Forks is a town in Clallum County, Washington most notably known for its fishing, hiking and wooded areas. Forks used to be the place to come to park your car, hike for several hours of the day before heading to the local diners and pubs to rest your feet.
Except no one does that any more, no one can. Forks have one rule that every citizen obeys. Every person who has lived, grown up or even just stayed here knows this.
Don't go into the woods.
No one goes into the woods, not the police, not rebellious teens, not even the Quileute's, the Native American tribe who live right on the edge of the densest part of the woods. It wasn't always this way but it is now. You do not go into the woods.
Except . . . I have.
