Chapter one: Black Bird

August 09'

It was all over. She would be dead soon and she'd never have to deal with anything ever again, she smiled, she would be in a blissful never ending sleep .That sounded nice right now. All she wanted was some sleep.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Hey look Nessy, she's waking up!" Ryan Creswell's blue green eyes snapped open.

"Is she okay?" Ryan followed the sound to the source.

A beautiful girl of maybe seven or eight years was starring at her. She had bouncy auburn curls and the prettiest brown eyes Ryan had ever seen. She was sitting on the lap of an even more beautiful boy of maybe 19. He was tan and had the blackest hair ever. Darker then midnight, Ryan would come to call it.

"Where am I?" she asked.

Her voice sounded hoarse. It didn't sound like her at all. The boys eyebrows raised, he cracked a smile at the little girl on his lap. Was she his sister? She didn't look anything like him. Maybe she was adopted?

"I think she'll be fine," the boy said answering the little girl's earlier question concerning Ryan's health.

"Where am I?" Ryan asked again.

"Home," the little girl smiled.

"Well, you're at her home," the boy said. So they weren't related?

"I should be dead," Ryan's voice came out harsher then she would have liked.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know floating face down in a river was your idea of a fun time! Maybe next time I'll let you drown!" He yelled angrily.

"I didn't ask you to save me," Ryan said quietly.

"No, you didn't, but that's what good people do. They help other people. How was I supposed to know you were trying to kill yourself? Besides, what kind of example would I be setting for Nessy if I just let you drown?"

"You didn't want to live?" Nessy asked.

"No. I didn't."

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen."

"For what possible reason would a sixteen year old girl want to kill herself? You aren't pregnant are you?"

"No! And it's none of your business!"Ryan yelled.

"Yeah, well I just saved your sorry a-" Jacob stopped what he was about to say when the door opened.

Ryan was sure the man who walked in was a male modle, he had blond hair and kind eyes. He couldn't have been older then 35, he smiled warmly at her and sat in the arm chair next to the bed she was laying in. He reached out a hand and swept her blond bangs away from her forehead. He touched something, and it hurt. Badly.

"You've got stitches right there," he explained," you also have them in your arms, the small of your back, on your left cheek, and then on your neck," he smiled sadly," You had a pretty rough ride down that river."

"Yeah I guess I did," Ryan whispered to herself.

"You're lucky you didn't die," said another male voice.

Ryan looked up to see a guy around the age of maybe 18, he had auburn hair that looked tousled. His eyes were gold like the blond man's. His face was pale, and he was frowning at her.

"Maybe I wanted to die," Ryan thought madly.

"No one truly wants to die," the boy said.

"W-what?"

"No one truly wants to die," the boy repeated.

"Edward," the blond one said," Why don't you go get our patient a glass of..."he looked at her.

"...Water...please," Ryan asked.

"Sure," the boy smiled at her and left the room.

"Sorry about Edward," the blond one said," I've been your doctor all the while you've been here. I hope you don't mind that I've been making all of your medical decisions without your consent."

"Like...?"

"Well...I've been medicating you."

"With what?" Ryan asked, she'd seen millions of movies where they medicated people and they died.

"Morphine stuff for the pain."

"Oh."

"So, I'm sure you'll want to be out of here as soon as possible."

"Yeah...kind of."

"Where do you live? We can contact your parents, you've been here for about four days now."

"Four days?!"Ryan couldn't believe she'd been out that long.

"Yes."

"I...I don't have any parents. Just an aunt that lives in South Carolina."

"Where're you been staying?"the tanned boy asked.

"No where. Just kind of back packing I guess," Ryan couldn't believe she was telling them this.

"BACK PACKING!! ARE YOU INSANE!! THERE ARE WOLVES AND MOUNTAIN LIONS AROUND HERE!" the boy yelled the loudest yet.

"Yes!" Ryan yelled back," I know that!"

"But yet you camped out anyway? I guess you thought maybe the animals would get to you before you had to off yourself huh?"

"Jacob, that's enough," this time there was a brunette girl in the room," don't make her talk about stuff she doesn't want to."

"Yeah, like us not knowing why she was in that river was top secret."

"Jake! I said enough! Can't you just be nice to her? She's had a rough week," she smiled warmly at Ryan.

"Fine."

"Well," the doctor said after a short silence," I have some paper work that I need to take care of at the office. I'll see you all tonight," he waved at the four of them and left the room.

"My name is Bella, what's yours?" She held her hand out.

"Ryan Creswell, nice to meet you...I guess," Ryan took Bella's hand in her own and shook it.

"Ryan? Isn't that a boy's name?" Jacob asked.

"JAKE! I'm sorry, he's not very considerate of other people. I think Ryan is a nice name for a girl."

"Thanks my mother thought so to."

"So, do you live around here?" Bella asked.

"No. I lived in Colorado until my mother died. My little sister lives with my Aunt Mia now. I came here."

"After Carlisle releases you, do you have anywhere to go?"

"No," Ryan thought," Yeah, I can go to my aunt's."

"You're lying," Jacob said.

"Why would she lie?" Bella asked madly.

"Because as soon as she's out of here she's going to off herself, and do it right this time. Am I right?" Jacob looked kind of smug.

"I...you. yes," Ryan couldn't lie, it was one of her faults, you could see a lie on her face as clear as an open book. That's what her mother had called her, her little novel.

"Well then it's settled," Bella smiled.

"What's settled?" Ryan asked only half afraid of what was to come.

"We are going to find you some place to live. Then you can be happy again, and not suicidal! How does that sound?"

"You just can't make people not hate their lives Bella," Jacob said seriously.

"Well I am. And you are," Bella looked sternly at Ryan," don't worry you'll like it where I'm sending you, and it's not far from here, so you can visit!"

"Are you sending her to Charlie's?" Jacob asked.

"Grandpa?" Nessy asked for the first time in a while.

"Nope," Bella had a huge smile plastered on her face.

"Where?" Jacob was confused now.

"Ryan, do you know a lot about Indians?"

"Indians? Like old western Indians?" Ryan asked.

"That kind exactly!"

"Bella! She is not living with me!" Jacob yelled.

"I'm not living with him!" Ryan agreed.

"Well you can't stay here. Not enough...uh rooms. And Jake has plenty of room since his sisters moved out. Plus there's a high school there! It's perfect, and I won't take no for an answer!" Bella looked like she meant it.

"Your starting to turn into Alice, Bells," Jake said madly.

"No I'm not!" Bella snapped.

"Fine. I'll take her, but you have to give me five days to get the house ready for her...and uh..everyone else."

"Deal."

"No! No deal! Don't I have a say in this?! I mean I don't even know you people! This is like kidnapping!"

"No it's not, we are giving you a fresh start, a way to start your life over. You should be happy."

"Yeah, you're lucky Bella cares this much, because I don't."

"You don't have to be mean to her Jake."

"Whatever. Just make sure she knows what she can and can't do. I have things to take care of."

"Fine."

Jake left the room leaving Ryan and Bella alone.

"I'm not trying to ruin your already dead life. I'm trying to save it okay?"

Ryan didn't say anything. She couldn't, she was crying to hard.

"What?!" Bella sounded panicked, like she didn't know how to handle crying people.

"I...No one has ever been this caring!! I've never had anyone but my mom and sister ever say that they would take care of me, and my sister is seven years younger then I am!"

"Well...get used to it. We're going to be helping you a lot more. So don't try to strangle yourself with the bed sheet before you get out of here."
