I walked into Forks Washington, I was tired and all on my own. My sole companion for the last ten years, George, was gone. I had last seen him a year ago when he came south to America to make a life for himself. He was sick of living isolated in the cold, Arctic Circle, I wasn't. I enjoyed the solitude, but after a year on my own I realised that I needed companionship, George was keeping me sane but I never realised it.
The first night in Forks was a blur. I remember that the sun was rising as I arrived to I spent the daylight in the darkness of the forest neighbouring the town of forks. In the evening I organised accommodation. A welcoming old fellow who was called, Mr Harris, allowed me the use of an apartment above his garage. It was a perfect situation for me, Mr Harris never had any visitors and he was old and ill, so he never bothered me. My coming and goings went unnoticed by Mr Harris.
You see, I have had a peculiar life. I have been alive for coming up for nearly one hundred years. I am what people would call undead. I was bitten by a vampire in Austria in Europe when I went to see relatives who lived in the Habsburg Empire, what now a day's people call Austria. I have been living in solitude ever since I was bitten. I was ashamed. I was scared. I was hungry. I vowed to never bite humans because I never wanted anyone to go through what I went through, but I discovered an animal instinct, I had to have human blood. I lived for human blood. I decided that I would have to move to an unpopulated area to protect myself. The Arctic Circle. I lived off of what I could. Seals, polar bears, anything I came across.
After George decided to leave me, I came to America, Forks WA. It was here I discovered something strange about Forks. About people who were living here. They were similar to me. I had noticed them, they had noticed me. It was my third day in Forks, when I first encountered them. I was leaving the café on that evening when I sensed I was being followed by a couple, a large muscular fellow and slight blonde female, who had porcelain features. Before I turned around to confront the young looking couple, I was unconscious.
