Chapter One
Sixteen year old Cora Dwyer sat up in her bed. She smelt her older half-sister, Bella's cooking. She got up, and looked out the window of the Swan house in Forks, Washington. Her dark brown hair with tints of blonde shimmered in the light of her lamp. She brushed her hair, and walked down stairs.
Her brother-law-in, Jacob, was watching some pre-game thing for football. Bella, her half-sister, was making French toast, and Noah, her nephew, was at the table, waiting for Bella to finish the French toast.
"Hi Aunt Cora!" Noah exclaimed. Bella looked over.
"Good morning Cora," She spoke softly, smiling at Cora. Cora smiled, and sat next to Noah. Bella slid two plates of French toast in front of them. Cora turned around, and got the syrup out of the fridge. Noah looked at her, with eyes saying 'please give me some syrup!' Cora smiled, and gave him a tiny drop. Cora put syrup on her plate, and began eating.
After Noah finished eating, Bella wiped his hands, and put his plate in the sink. Cora put her plate in, and washed the plates. Noah ran into the living room, watching the pre-game thing with Jacob. Cora went to the bathroom, and brushed her teeth. She saw Jacob walk by. He pushed Cora put of the bathroom, and went to the sink, turning his electric razor on. He began to shave his face. Cora walked out, and went to her room. She looked at her calendar, and saw the date.
March 5th.
Their mother's birthday.
Cora threw on dark blue skinny jeans, a white tank top, a coral colored V neck sweater with white buttons, and black flats. She brushed her hair, and walked down stairs.
When Cora got down stairs, Jacob was gone. She saw Bella putting Noah's coat on.
"Where's Jacob?" Cora asked.
"They wanted him at the reservation. I'm gonna take Noah down to the reservation later, if you wanna come," Bella offered.
"I might," Cora said. She went to go put something in the sink, and slipped. Bella rushed over.
"You ok?" She asked.
"Nope!" Cora said.
"Let's get you to the ER then," Bella said, putting Noah's coat on. She helped Cora up, and took Cora to the car.
At Forks hospital, the doctor left his last patient. He went and rested in his office. He got a call to go in and see a patient.
The doctor walked in. He had blonde hair, pasty white skin, and golden eyes. Bella gasped, seeing him again. She'd recognize that face anywhere. Carlisle Cullen, the 'father' of Edward Cullen.
"Hello Cora. What seems to be the issue?" He asked.
"I slipped, and possibly tore my ACL," Cora told Dr. Cullen.
"Let's see," Dr. Cullen told Cora, examining her leg.
"Ow…" Cora said.
"Let's X-ray it then," Dr. Cullen said. He took Cora to the X-ray room, and did an X-ray of her leg.
Down at La Push, Sam walked forward.
"They're back," He said. Everyone knew who he meant by 'they'. The leeches. Bloodsuckers. Or as most people knew them, the Cullen's.
