Prologue

I'll Come Find You. I Promise.

A/N: This is a Twilight story that has all the OC's you know and love from Dawn's Twilight and Dawn's Eclipse, but a completely different situation. Here's a short rundown: Brooke leaves New York and has to move to Forks, Washington. Nick makes the promise that he'll find her, since they had already been going out with each other for around a year. When he gets there, he sees Brooke in the college where he goes, but she's changed. Why has she changed? Well, this is a Twilight fic, you figure it out, lol.

Bohemia, New York; June 25th, 2009...

Nick Negron and Brooke Chase, both fifteen years old and, after the summer, Sophomores in High School were sitting on Nick's bed. The couple had been going out for around a year now, and they were deeply in love. On the TV in front of the two teens, some random show was playing. Brooke, with her head on Nick's shoulder, sighed. "Nick, I need to talk to you about something. Something really important."

"Alright," Nick replied. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I have to move away, out of New York," When she heard nothing from Nick, she continued. "To Forks, Washington, to be exact. My mom got a job out there, and we need to leave tomorrow afternoon," By this time, she had tears beginning to form in her eyes, blurring her vision. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about it earlier."

Nick sighed. "It's okay. I understand. But, that really isn't something you should keep from your boyfriend."

"I know that, Nicky. I promise, I'll try to keep in touch. I hear they have a good community college up there, too. Maybe I'll see you there."

Nick smiled as he looked into Brooke's beautiful terracotta eyes. "Don't worry about that. I'll come find you once I graduate from High School. I promise."

"I know you will." Brooke said, kissing Nick gently on the lips.

"So, when do you have to leave here to get ready to leave tomorrow?"

"I actually have to go now. Goodbye, Nick."

"Goodbye, Mina. Just remember that I love you."

"I love you, too." Brooke said as she exited the house, leaving Nick alone.

Three Years Later...

Nick yawned as he packed the last of his things into the U-Haul truck outside his house. His mother, Emma Negron, smiled as her son closed the back of the truck. "Promise me you won't get into any trouble on the road over there, alright?" she asked him. "I don't want to hear you died on the way to Forks Community College."

"Don't worry, mom," Nick replied, laughing. "You taught me a lot better than that. I'll call you as soon as I get settled down over there," Nick got into the U-Haul. "Bye."

"Bye, Nick," Emma turned to Nick's father Eli, who was seated in Nick's Scion tC. "Make sure he gets there all right."

"I will. I'll see you when I get back." Eli told his wife, starting the car and speeding off to catch up to his son.

Four Days Later, Forks Washington...

Nick and Eli stopped the U-Haul truck and the Scion in front of a large two-story house. Once the two relatives got out of the vehicles they were in, Eli put his hand on Nick's shoulder. "Don't forget, this is your cousin. Don't take advantage of her letting you stay here with her."

"I know that, dad. I'll be fine." Nick replied as they knocked on the door.

A woman older than Nick, aged around twenty-five, answered the door. "Uncle Eli! Nick! Welcome to Forks! Come in, I'll make us some drinks."

"Hello there, Joanna," Eli said, smiling at his niece. "Could we first unpack the stuff from the truck? That should be done first, since I have to drive the truck back home later."

"Oh, of course. Go right ahead. I'll get the drinks ready and bring them into the living room." Nick and Eli nodded to this statement and went to start taking the boxes of Nick's possessions out of the U-Haul.

About an hour later, the three family members were seated around Joanna's living room, talking. Eli looked at his watch. "Well, I'm sorry I can't stay longer, but I have to get going. Nick, be good for your cousin. Joanna, keep him out of trouble, alright?"

"I will, don't worry. First thing tomorrow, I'm sending him into town to find someplace to work. Then, he can drop by the college to pick up the list of textbooks he'll need to pick up."

Eli nodded and left the house. The time was around eight pm, and Joanna yawned. "Well, I'm going to get some sleep. You should get your stuff into your room and unpack it all before you go to sleep. See you tomorrow."

"Alright, Joanna. See you in the morning." Nick said as his cousin left the room, heading upstairs to her bedroom.

Nick followed suit and began unpacking his stuff in his new room. Maybe I'll see Brooke tomorrow. I hope I do. I miss her so much." he sighed as he finished unpacking and, after changing into his pajamas, fell asleep.

The Next Morning, Around Town...

Nick had been going around town, looking for someplace to work. He had been trying to find the town's Borders Books and Music, and still hadn't had any luck. Then, all of a sudden, he found himself in front of his target location. He laughed to himself before getting out of the Scion.

Walking into the store, Nick decided to look around before actually going in for an interview. He found something that caught his eye: Real Vampires, the Cullen's of Forks by Stacy Whitfield Starr. Picking it up, he started reading the first few pages. Apparently, there was a whole family of Vampires living right in Forks, but they didn't kill humans, but rather animals. The public in Forks, which was the only place the book had been published and distributed, had found out about the Cullen's being Vampires after a conflict that happened around fifteen years earlier. Also, it seemed that actual Werewolves, or more specifically, shape-shifters, lived in the area, them being some of the Quilleute Indians that lived in the La Push Indian Reservation. Nick was deep in thought as he read further into the book. I would like to meet these Cullen's. They seem like an alright bunch, even if they have the thirst for blood.

Putting the book down, he went to the Customer Service counter. "May I help you?" said the Customer Service Representative from behind the counter.

"Yes, I'd like to apply for a job."

"Alright. Just fill this out and hand them back with a copy of your resume when you're done."

Nick nodded and walked over to the cafe area, where he began filling out the application. After about fifteen minutes, Nick had walked back up to the counter and had given the completed forms, along with his resume, to the Customer Service Rep. "Thank you. We'll give you a call for an interview."

"Alright. Thank you." Nick said and exited the store. Getting into his car, he took off for Forks Community College.

Forks Community College, Admissions Building...

Nick walked into the admissions building of Forks Community College. Going up to one of the secretaries sitting at the many desks, he cleared his throat politely.

The secretary looked up at Nick. "Yes? How may I help you?"

"Um, yes, I'm Nick Negron. I'm supposed to start attending here next month. I was just wondering if I could pick up a list of textbooks that I'll have to acquire."

"Alright. Let's see if we can find your file first," The secretary typed a few keystrokes on her keyboard before turning back to Nick. "Here we are. There's a printer right outside this office. Your list will print out there."

"Thank you very much. May I ask, where is the College Store so I can get the textbooks?"

"It's right up the road to the left of this building. You can't miss it, not with the huge sign that it has. Have a nice day, now."

"You too." Nick said and left the office, picking up his printout on the way out.

As Nick made his way over to the College Store, he saw a girl around his age walking around on the left of him. The girls' features reminded him of Brooke, but he banished the thought almost immediately. There's no way that can be Brooke, He thought. That girl's too pale to be the girl I love. He continued walking to pick up his books.

A/N: Here's the first chapter (technically the prologue) of the newest addition to my extensive list of stories. As I said at the beginning, all of the characters from the Dawn's … series will be here, but not all in the same place. This should be made obvious since I made it that everyone's in College (including the Cullen's). Also, I made up Forks Community College, but it has to do with the whole story. This may seem a little short, but I wanted to get this one done so I could get on with the actual story. One more thing, though: In this story, Brooke still turns out to be that one special case of vampire, what with the heartbeat and all that jazz. I have my reasons, people, so don't question it.

Next Time: Nick starts his college days at Forks Community College and finds out that the girl he saw on his way to the College store is in all of his classes in all the same courses. But, why do people keep calling her 'Miss. Chase' and occasionally 'Brooke' when this girl looks nothing like the girl Nick growing up? Find out next time on Forbidden Love, Persistent Lovers.
