Okay so I've had this in my head for a while now and I have just been itching to get it down. I hope you enjoy. It has a slight crossover between Riley Jenson Guardian series and I will mention the characters but I'll explain so you won't have to read the book to understand.

Disclaimer: I may be well off, but I'm not THAT well off


Running through a forest.

Faster, looking behind me. Someone is following.

Changing, shifting. Into anything, using everything to get away.

It doesn't work.

I stop, look around. It is silent.

Too silent.

Then something pounces and it all goes black.

And that is how my story begins but how my story ends? You'll have to read to find out more. You probably have some questions.

Who am I?

What am I?

Why am I telling you this?

The first two are hard to answer, the last not so. I am telling you this to warn you, to warn you away from things that go bump in the night. To warn you away from forests and woods in the dark. And to warn you away from the beautiful, the truly dangerous. I am telling you this to save you, to save you from yourself. Because a long time ago I was like you were now, innocent, naive, wishing for an adventure. Then I got one, a big one and now I am here alone in a stone room in the middle of nowhere with just one light penning this too you. And I wish you to take heed, as these might be the final words I ever write and if they are I wish them to try and protect you, to try and warn you and to...well you'll realise what else later.

I should start at the beginning.

My name is Isabella Swan and I was born a long time ago in a land far far away....

My parents had fallen in love young, got married young and got divorced young. Renee, my mother had me just a year out of Forks High and though she never said out loud that she regretted it I always felt that she did. My father Charlie never let on that he regretted me but like I said before I think that he did, that they both did.

I was born in Forks hospital in, believe it or not Forks. We didn't stay long in Forks though, Renee and I. We escaped the perpetually rainy town soon after I was born and apart from the odd visits to Charlie which stopped when I was eleven, I never came back. At least not until I was seventeen.

The decision to come back to Forks was hard, for all my life I had lived with my Renee in a single story house in Phoenix, Arizona, but she had remarried recently. To Phil, my new 'dad'. It wasn't that I didn't like Phil, far from it I loved the guy, it was just…well…something inside me was telling me to go back to Charlie. I don't know maybe I missed him.

Forks was still the same as it was when I had last seen it, the summer when I was eleven. It was even still raining, exactly as it had been last time I had said goodbye to Charlie before running to catch my flight.

"Bella." I turned and allowed a slow smile to spread across my face, Charlie was the same as well. Standing in the exact same place as he was when I had looked that one last time to wave.

As I drew closer though I recognised subtle changes such as a streak of grey in his brown hair and small lines and wrinkles on his face.

"Bella," He said again as he took my bag off me, "How you been."

I nodded and replied that I had been fine not saying anything more. Charlie accepted my silence and just led me to his car, the police cruiser in silence.

I started Forks High School the next day, it was raining (big surprise there) and Charlie had already left for work by the time I was leaving for school. At least I didn't have to ride in the cruiser though; Charlie had bought a truck from old Billy Black and given it to me. He told me to call it an 'early graduation' present.

Forks High was smaller than my old one, which helped I guess as it didn't take me that long to find whatever was the appropriate classroom, it didn't help in that it was so small rumours about me flew around quickly and by lunch everyone knew my name, age and shoe size.

I sat with some girls that I had met at lunch, Angela, Jessica and Lauren. Angela was by far my favourite though her choice in crush left a whole lot to be desired. We were joined by a few guys as well, Mike, Tyler and Angela's crush Ben. There were others too but I can't remember their names.

We were talking about useless things when I saw them, Jessica followed my gaze,

"Pointless crushing on them," She said, "They never date anyone."

Lauren joined in, "Yeah there all taken apart from Edward but don't get your hopes up. Apparently girls around here are too good for him."

"Who are they?" I asked having a pretty good idea myself but just wanting to make sure.

"The Cullens. Alice Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Edward Cullen and Jasper Hale and Rosalie Hale."

I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts. I looked back at them again ticking off my mental checklist.

Unnatural beauty – Check

Pale skin – Check

Gracefulness – Check

Cold Skin –

I paused and turned to Angela, "Do any of the Cullens have cold skin?"

She frowned wondering about my strange question, "Yeah," She answered, "Alice bumped into me once and her skin was ice cold," She paused, "Why do you ask?"

I smiled, "Well if they have cold skin they can't be that perfect can they?"

Angela laughed and I continued with my checklist.

Cold Skin – Check

Not eating – Check

Dangerous? –

I paused wondering whether I should check it or not. I didn't know. Both ways though they were definitely vampires and it was time I called in reinforcements. The Cullens were back. Vampires had come back to Forks. And I knew, just knew that Jack was not going to be happy.


Okay so this is just the first chapter and I am planning to upload the first and second chapter tonight. This is my first Twilight fic and I hope you like it. R & R please.
