Prologue

"Hurry up! Those barrels of waste won't drop by themselves." Rosalie, the statuesque blond demanded to poor James.

He was ensnared with the job of lifting, carrying and pushing those cans around, otherwise Miss Rosalie Hale would break one her nails and we didn't want something so horrendous like that to happen. No, sir. Please note the sarcasm, James thought. She was the self-appointed assistant of his father Aro Volturi, the biggest entrepreneur from Micanopy in Florida. She was as twisted as him, and never minded to break the rules if it leads to getting her way. He wasn't sure if his father had banged her or not, their relationship was always platonic, and maybe Aro saw her as the daughter he should have instead of James.

"Ugh! You're so slow James. Let me move this..." She tried to pull the lever that would release the barrels but James stopped her on time.

"If you drop them here, they will be in plain sight. Someone would notice. I found a few hollow tree trunks and we're getting them stashed there." For once that made the harpy shut up. Not even when they were kids he found her attractive. Sure, she was beautiful, but her mean personality made her repulsive in his eyes. Her ex-best friend Bella on the other hand...

James found the trunks and used the crane to lift the cans. They were small enough to drop two on each tree. After the last one was dropped, James turned to Rosalie.

"Now what?"

"Now, you forget we drop these and take that crane wherever you took it." She started to walk back. "Ever since the last fine, we can't be too careful to hide our wastes."

Six months later...

"Janey! I can see you! I'm so going to get you. Your place as the queen of 'hide and seek' it's gone!" Heidi was a doting mother, who loved her daughter and her husband beyond a doubt. He saw a wisp of pink flashing to the oaks and she knew she had Janey. Now how to find the way to surprise her?

Janey was doing her best to keep her giggles at bay. Her mommy was really close and she had to win this game. The oak where she was hiding was too dry and hollow. Maybe if she could get her foot right there, she could climb and hide in the hole... but something distracted Janey. Something moved inside the hole. Could it be a squirrel? A racoon? A closer inspection showed her something fur and yellow was hiding inside. Maybe it was a puppy! Oh, she knew what to do, that puppy probably was scared and needed hugs. She got her hand inside to touch the soft fur of the puppy but something pinched her. And it hurt so much!

"Mommy!"

Heidi felt her heart stop. What was happening? She ran to her daughter and found Janey sitting at the foot of an oak tree squeezing her hand.

"It bit me, Mom!" Her little hand pointed to the inside of the hole in the tree. Heidi noticed her hand was swelling and before taking her to the hospital, she knew it was vital to know which animal caused this.

Heidi got closer, afraid of what the animal reaction would be. It was full of fur, so it intrigued her. She twisted a branch from the oak which broke easily and poked the animal. She saw the movement but the animal didn't make a sound. Strange.

"Sweetie, take a step back. I'm going to try to get out the animal to see what it is before taking you to the doctor, ok?"

By now, she attracted the attention of her neighbor Sulpicia who accompanied them to the park.

"What's wrong?"

"It bit me!" Janey cried.

With great effort, Heidi managed to make the animal come outside the hole. It was a ball of fur!

"Jesus! What the hell is this?"

So this is my new story. I'm about to finish 'A mother's advice' so I decided to start posting this now. I'll post chapter 1 tomorrow, along with a picture of the caterpillar as the next chapter of AMA.

Tell me, what do you think?
