I hated what happened to me, I feel like it could of been more so if I knew then what i know now. I wish I had someone back then just as I do now. But i'm getting ahead of myself, let me get back to my beginning. Hello my name is Grace O'Neill im twenty one and have two brothers and a sister. my parents passed in a car accident which is why i'm moving to Forks Washington. My remaining family is staying down south in Texas. Where we grew up, near South Padre. Ever since I can remember I have been by the water.
I was fifteen when my parents passed, my siblings all older, my brothers Gregory and Matthew were fifteen and my sister Alison, Ally for short was twenty at the time. We all stayed together living in my parents home, not wanting to separate and loose contact. And once I turned eighteen I went to school to be a forensic scientist to help other people whose life was turned upside down as well. I am moving specifically to Forks for a sheriff named Swan, yes I've done my research from his daughter to all of the disappearances. I got asked in about a month ago but just recently found a house and a car that's close enough to the station.
I boarded the plane around 12 pm and landed around 5 pm. It was a lot colder in Washington than Texas i even had to order a heavy coat so i didn't freeze. I waited for my taxi to take me to my new home. It took almost another four hours to arrive and slowly I start to fall in love with the landscape and the natural beauty around me I knew i could find and see this place as home.
I pull up those long four hours later and unload my suitcase from the taxi. Most of my things had been shipped by Ally so i knew i was well taken care of. I tipped the driver and walked into the threshold. I look around at my new house looking around i saw all the doors and the beautiful open floor plan and the large kitchen with the island in the middle. The wood floors and grey counter tops made the light blue walls pop.
I bring my suitcase to the bedroom and unpack gently and lay down to rest before i went into the station to formally introduce myself. I change into my pajamas and head to bed laying down in the fluffiest mattress ever. My thoughts drifted to what my life would look like from now on.I don't even remember falling asleep, only the feeling of calmness.
I woke up around 7 in the morning, i threw on some jeans and a long sleeve black shirt. Put some mascara and lipstick on and rushed out the door. It was about a ten minute walk, i arrive and open the door walking in looking up to see charlie and smile kindly "hello Mr Swan, im Grace your new forensic scientist from Texas" he looked at me sort of odd.
"Yes, nice to meet you grace, and please just call me charlie" he held his hand out.
I take it and shake his hand "I wanted to introduce myself before I start tomorrow"
He nodded "well i appreciate it Grace, hey i'm going to grab some lunch with my daughter and her husband would you like to join us, i want to ask you a few questions anyways"
I look down thinking if it was a good idea on the first day here or if i should unpack "I'm sorry sir, possibly later this week, I have a lot to unpack and i don't want to take time away from your family" i politely smile.
"Yes yes right, sorry i'm sure you have a lot to do before tomorrow" then a beautiful woman with brown hair and golden eyes walk in, from my research it appeared to be Bella. Her skin was beautifully pale and she walked like she was gliding. I take my eyes off of Bella. Behind here walked the most beautiful man i had ever seen. I'm guessing that was her husband Edward. I let out a gasped softly looking at the kind faces of everyone around me but soon snapped out of it.
"Alright thank you Charlie i'll make sure to call in the morning before heading up, just in case you need coffee or something" I smiled and watched the two near closer and i tried walking out before they noticed me, i remember some of the different records about Bella and the Cullins. But before i could leave Bella pipes up.
"Your Grace right? It's nice to meet you, i'm Bella and this is my husband Edward" but to my shock instead of a handshake she want for a huge hug. I'm not much of a touchy feely person and this was awkward. I didn't know this lady and besides she was freezing.
"Nice to meet you Bella." I tried moving away from her grip and she let go "just asking but do you need a blanket, your freezing" her husband chuckled and walked over to her kissing the back of her head.
"She may need one, she's always cold. I'm Edward. Its very nice to meet you" both of their voices sent a shiver down my spine, they almost rubbed me the wrong way. I always trust my judgement and this was one of those times I needed to. I look at them and smile pleasantly
"Nice to meet you both, Charlie you know where i'm at, don't hesitate to call if you need anything" he nods as i walk away giving a sideways glance at the couple.
How can someone so beautiful exist, how can they rub me so wrong almost as if i'm in danger? I've never encountered anything like them before, they seem nice but there's just something different and i can not place it." I continue the walk to my house but got curious and wanted to explore before i headed home. I see a natural path in the woods and start walking down. My eyes wandered around me. I saw a beautiful clearing with one dead but eerily beautiful tree, i take my phone out to take a picture of it. As I do I hear footsteps behind me, almost an unnaturally light footing. I turn around quickly but see no one, I grab the nearest thing to me which was a rock and continue down my path. The footsteps seem to be getting closer and faster. I pick up the pace, My heart starts to beat faster. The footsteps draw in closer with every step I took. I felt hunted.
