Chapter 1: Leaving
This cannot be happening, this cannot be happening. Things like this don't happen in New Orleans, I told myself as I watched CNN with horror. My worst nightmare was coming true, Hurricane Katrina was ripping through the one place that I had ever truly called home.
"Isabella Swan, turn off that TV," my mom said, glaring at me with her topaz eyes, "I do not want you watching this, it will only upset you."
"Too late." I replied.
"I know you are sad, I can see your emotions, you forget. But remember, we would have had to leave eventually, you weren't getting any older, people would have noticed something was wrong." She told me, stupid vampire powers.
"But I could still pass for 18, it would have been fine until I left for college, I mean I have only been a vampire for a few months."
"Same with us all, I will forever be 40 (AN, I don't know how old Bella's parents are)."
"Fine, I am going to go for a run, I need to get out of this hotel room."
With that I went to change into a pair of shorts and a sports bra and took off running. We were staying in California for the time being, but I knew we wouldn't stay long, we had to leave, and our house was lost in the hurricane. My dad had already gotten a new job in Forks, Washington and I was supposed to continue my junior year there. I had already protested when my parents told me I was going to a public school. I had been going to Newman while we lived in New Orleans. My family and I were changed six months ago when a vampire broke into our house and changed us. My parents and I abstained from human blood, a feat that was more difficult for my parents than it was for me because human blood always made me sick when I was alive. My dad had the power to talk to animals, because he loved fishing in his past life and my mom could read emotions because she was perceptive in her past life.
It was about 30 minutes later that I decided to turn around and go home. As I went I toned down the sun a bit, cause I can control all four elements and the sun is made of a fire-like substance (AN, it probably isn't, but there has to be some reason why a vampire family can live in the south, so don't hate me). God I hate this, we are moving to Washington and a hurricane killed my home and my beautiful truck. My parents had promised to buy me a mini cooper since we lost my truck in the hurricane.
I was lost in my memories when my phone started ringing, my mom was wondering where I was because we had to pack because our flight was leaving for Washington tomorrow. Oh joy, I thought as I rounded the turn to head back to the hotel.
